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.
 
Preliminary Schedule Remaining
  • Council approves plans and specifications, authorizes advertisement for bids
    • January 23, 2024
  • Bids are publicly opened
    • Week of March 18, 2024
  • Council awards contract to the lowest responsible bidder
    • March 26, 2024
  • Contractor begins improvements
    • Late April / early May 2024
  • Contractor completes improvements
    • May 31, 2024
 
The proposed improvements are designated as City Improvement Project #24-08, 2024 Crack Seal Improvements.

Notification:

Staff does not mail letters to property owners for crack seal improvements, since the work occurs quickly and has little to no impact to the traveling public or abutting properties. Engineering Staff will create and maintain a project webpage, which will be updated as new information is made available throughout the project.

Observations/Alternatives:

Observations:
Estimates are CIP level and will be updated during the design process.
 
Alternatives:
Motion to adopt Resolution #24-012 ordering plans and specifications for 2024 Crack Seal Improvements, Improvement Project #24-08.

Funding Source:

The City budgeted $575,000 for crack seal and pavement rejuvenator improvements in 2024. Municipal State Aid (MSA) street segments may be paid using MSA maintenance funds. Approximately 40-percent of the proposed project area is composed of MSA street segments.
 
Estimated Construction Costs            $165,000
Indirect Costs                                      $8,000
Total Estimated Project Costs            $173,000
 
City Staff proposed to administer and inspect construction in-house, as part of their normal duties.

Recommendation:

Staff recommends adopting Resolution #24-012 ordering plans and specifications for 2024 Crack Seal Improvements, Improvement Project #24-08.

Action:

Motion to adopt Resolution #24-012 ordering plans and specifications for 2024 Crack Seal Improvements, Improvement Project #24-08.
