Title:
Adopt Resolution #24-343 Ordering Plans and Specifications for 2025 Crack Seal Improvements, Improvement Project #25-09
Purpose/Background:
Purpose:
The purpose of this case is to adopt Resolution #24-343 ordering plans and specifications for 2025 Crack Seal Improvements, Improvement Project #25-09.
Background:
The City’s current pavement maintenance schedule calls for public streets to receive the following maintenance following construction, overlay, or reconstruction:
The above schedule is the typical maintenance schedule based off assumed ideal conditions. Staff reviews the condition of all streets annually and adjusts the schedule of maintenance operations based on actual pavement conditions.
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.
A total of 19.90 miles of public streets are proposed to receive crack seal improvements in 2025. 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 2025 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
The proposed improvements are designated as City Improvement Project #25-09, 2025 Crack Seal Improvements.

The proposed improvements are designated as City Improvement Project #25-09, 2025 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.
Time Frame/Observations/Alternatives:
Observations:
Estimates are CIP level based off an average cost per mile, and will be updated during the design process.
Alternatives:
Motion to adopt Resolution #24-343 ordering plans and specifications for 2025 Crack Seal Improvements, Improvement Project #25-09.
