5. 16. CC Regular Session Meeting Date: 01/09/2024 Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: Address infrastructure needs. Information Title Adopt Resolution #24-012 Ordering Plans and Specifications for 2024 Crack Seal Improvements, Improvement Project #24-08 Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #24-012 ordering plans and specifications 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 caused by 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 year 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 13.58 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. A draft 2024 Crack Seal Map is attached to this case for reference. Final plans and specifications are proposed to be prepared in-house as part of Staff s normal duties.
