5. 7. CC Regular Session Meeting Date: Primary Strategic Plan Initiative: 06/23/2026 Improve the safety and mobility of transportation corridors. Title: Adopt Resolution #26-145 Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract for 2026 Pavement Skim Patching, Maintenance Project #26-53 Purpose/Background: Purpose: The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #26-145 accepting bids and awarding a contract to North Valley, Inc. for the total amount of $243,173.74 for 2026 Pavement Skim Patching, Maintenance Project #26-53. Background: In 2023, the number of public streets with numerous deep potholes and surface stripping increased to the point that Public Works staff were only able to maintain a small percentage of the streets in-house. The poor pavement conditions were due in small part to the previous winter's severe weather conditions, but more significantly the poor pavement conditions were due to advanced pavement age and minimal pavement section composition, as well as due to not receiving regular proactive maintenance treatments over the life of the pavement sections. In 2023, the city spent almost $1.3M on contracted pavement patching services. Since 2023, the city has expended over $10,000,000 per year on pavement overlay and street reconstruction improvement projects, and on pavement maintenance projects including crack seal, pavement rejuvenation, and pavement skim and spray patching projects. In addition, public works staff continue to patch potholes, as well as mill and overlay pavement segments where pavement stripping is generally confined to tire tracks. This work has helped to significantly reduce the scope and severity of potholes, pavement stripping and other forms of pavement damage on city streets. Based on staffs observations of all contracted skim patching work to date, the patching appears to have a useful life of 4 years or more. To date, this product has held up very well to plowing, traffic and weather. This spring, staff inspected and identified public street segments within 7 residential areas that would benefit greatly from pavement skim patching due to existing poor pavement conditions and the fact that the majority of these streets are not programmed in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for reconstruction until 2032 or later, with 2 of the street segments not programmed for reconstruction in the CIP at all. All identified street segments total 3.36 miles in length. Attached is a figure showing the street segments located within the 7 areas. Many streets identified for skim patching in 2026 have deep potholes (deeper than 2-inches) that will require hand patching before skim patching operations commence. Below is a summary of the proposed skim patching process, which is generally the same process followed since 2023. • City staff will patch deep potholes and sweep streets first • Contractor will blow debris and water from all potholes and street surfaces using compressed air. • Contractor will apply bituminous tack coat to existing pavement surfaces. • Contractor will skim patch both sides of streets (3/4-inch overlay). • Contractor will compact skim patching with rubber -tired rollers. • City will sweep patched streets full width.
