In order <br />to do so, annual asphalt street maintenance and pothole repairs are <br />required. <br /> <br />Over the past several years, the City has realized good response and <br />service from the contractor as well as flexibility of service levels. As <br />needs change, the contractor has the ability to increase or decrease <br />resources without affecting City staff or other programs. Through this <br />contract the City's roadway maintenance budget has seen a reduction of 18 <br />percent in unit costs for work performed. Staff that was previously <br />assigned to roadway maintenance has been reassigned to other maintenance <br />programs such as graffiti removal, trees and roadway cleaning. <br /> <br />Services provided under the asphalt street maintenance contract include the <br />excavation and cold milling of existing roadways, the installation of <br />pavement reinforcement fabric, construction of asphalt concrete pavement, <br />and crack sealing. In addition, the contract provides for water and sewer <br />system maintenance, including trench repair and the adjustment of water <br />valve boxes and manhole frames and covers to grade. <br /> <br />22E-1 <br />
