Approve the Cost Analysis for a total estimated project delivery cost of $1,145,951. DISCUSSION The City has made a significant investment in rehabilitating arterial streets over the last ten years and, therefore, maintaining and protecting that investment is a top priority. The City's Pavement Management Program effectively strategizes short and long -term maintenance schedules to maximize performance of the entire street pavement network, including identifying preventative maintenance improvement projects. The application of a surface slurry seal to asphalt streets every seven to ten years ensures a continued high level of service. Historically, a conventional slurry seal has been used. In contrast, rubberized slurry seals offer superior performance over conventional slurry by providing a more flexible surface that resists cracking, while also benefiting the environment by repurposing recycled tires. There are several rubberized slurry products available, including tire rubber modified slurry seal (TRMSS) and rubberized emulsion aggregate slurry (REAS). Both of these products are industry proven applications for street maintenance. Additionally, both provide similar wear and aesthetic characteristics. Based on the City's Pavement Management Program, staff has identified a project area in which the TRMSS product will be used to rehabilitate arterial streets (Exhibit 1).
