7. 4. CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 03/12/2024 Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Address infrastructure needs. Information Title: Adopt Resolution#24-069 Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract for 2024 Crack Seal Improvements, Improvement Project#24-08 Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution#24-069 accepting bids and awarding contract for 2024 Crack Seal Improvements, Improvement Project#24-08. Background: Crack seal improvements are completed annually on between 10 and 23 miles of public street segments to cost-effectively maximize the life of the bituminous pavement. Crack sealing protects pavement by preventing stormwater runoff from seeping through cracks in the pavement and joints between the pavement and concrete curb and gutter, and utility castings. Reducing future pavement damage due to wet subgrade soils, especially during freeze-thaw cycles. The City's current pavement maintenance schedule calls for public streets to be crack sealed the third, seventh, and fourteenth years following construction,reconstruction, and overlay improvements. However,while this is the typical maintenance schedule, it is important to note that Staff reviews the condition of all streets annually and adjusts the schedule of maintenance operations based on actual pavement conditions. A total of 13.32 miles of public street segments are proposed to receive crack seal improvements in 2024. These street segments were selected based on age,pavement maintenance history, and Pavement and Surface Evaluation Rating (PASER)values. Selected streets generally have PASER values between 7 and 10. Plans and specifications for the 2024 Crack Sealing Improvements were prepared in-house as part of Staff's normal duties. A copy of the plans is attached to this case. Preliminary Schedule Remaining •Council awards contract to the lowest responsible bidder o March 12, 2024 •Contractor begins improvements o Late April/early May 2024 •Contractor completes improvements o May 31, 2024 Pro]ect Coordination Outside of pothole patching,major street maintenance in 2024 includes crack sealing,pavement rejuvenation, and pavement striping. Pavement striping generally occurs on MSA streets. Staff are aware of several street segments proposed to be within both the crack seal and the pavement rejuvenation projects, similar to 2023. Because of this, Staff is generally proposing to schedule pavement maintenance projects as follows:
