REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />AUGUST 5, 2014 <br />TITLE: <br />CONTRACT AWARD FOR ARTERIAL <br />STREETS RESURFACING USING <br />RUBBERIZED EMULSION AGGREGATE <br />SLURRY (PROJECT 146809) <br />CITY MANAG R <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED $'5-"Y <br />As Recommended cZ,3 19 <br />❑ As Amended <br />❑ Ordinance on 1" Reading <br />❑ Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />❑ Implementing Resolution <br />❑ Set Public Hearing For__ <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />1. Award a contract to All American Asphalt, the lowest responsible bidder, in accordance with <br />the Base Bid, in the amount of $1,130,298, for the construction of the arterial streets <br />resurfacing using Rubberized Emulsion Aggregate Slurry. <br />2. Approve the Cost Analysis for a total estimated project delivery cost of $1,454,049. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The City has made a significant investment in rehabilitating arterial streets over the last ten years <br />and, therefore, maintaining and protecting that investment is a top priority. The City's Pavement <br />Management Program effectively strategizes short and long-term maintenance schedules to <br />maximize performance of the entire street pavement network, including identifying preventative <br />maintenance improvement projects. <br />The application of a surface slurry seal to asphalt streets every seven to ten years ensures a <br />continued high level of service. Historically, a conventional slurry seal has been used. In contrast, <br />rubberized slurry seals offer superior performance over conventional slurry by providing a more <br />flexible surface that resists cracking, while also benefiting the environment by repurposing recycled <br />tires. There are several rubberized slurry products available, including tire rubber modified slurry <br />seal (TRMSS) and rubberized emulsion aggregate slurry (REAS). Both of these products are <br />industry proven applications for street maintenance. Additionally, both provide similar wear and <br />aesthetic characteristics. Based on the City's Pavement Management Program, staff has identified <br />a project area in which the REAS product will be used to rehabilitate arterial streets (Exhibit 1). To <br />determine future preference, the performance of this product will be compared with another project <br />area using the TRMSS product. <br />
