Regional contractors have taken note of metro Cities moving away from seal coating and toward pavement rejuvenators, and as a result serval newer products are becoming available in our region. The Minnesota Local Road Research Board (LRRB), with the assistance of MnROAD's, is three years into an evaluation of proprietary rejuvenators, including the most commonly used product in the metro area, Reclamite. Early results indicate Reclamite is performing well in Minnesota. Ideally, once the evaluation is complete, additional reliable products will result in a competitive bidding market. Because of its proven track record, and the potential risks associated with using new products, staff recommends continuing to use Reclamite on all street segments proposed to receive pavement rejuvenator. 2026 Proposed Rejuvenation Improvements Plans for the 2026 Pavement Rejuvenation Improvements are attached to this case. A total of 15.56 miles of public street segments and 1 parking lot are proposed to receive pavement rejuvenation. The proposed streets are generally receiving the treatment on the 2nd year after construction, reconstruction, or overlay per the proposed street maintenance schedule. The exception are some subdivisions built in small phases, with earlier phases being held off 1 year to be able to treat a larger area at once. This simplifies future maintenance as well, and is less confusing for the general public compared to stopping projects at arbitrary plat lines within a subdivision. Final plans and specifications were prepared in-house as part of staff s normal duties.
