File Number: 11 -316 Asphalt rubber chip seal was used for this year's project as it was for the previous street sealing project. Rubberized asphalt products have been used by Caltrans and other agencies for decades. Asphalt rubber treatments are more flexible than standard treatments, keeping the surface waterproof by preventing the formation or propagation of cracks. They require less preparation by Public Works street crews and can be used on streets in poorer condition, which usually require more expensive asphalt overlay repairs. Traffic noise is typically reduced when using rubberized asphalt and, as the materials used are made from recycled tires, this treatment also aligns with the City's goal of using "green" products. Although asphalt rubber chip seal is more expensive than a conventional chip seal, the City has received a grant from CalRecycle for the use of asphalt rubber, and this reduced the cost difference between the two products. After the project was awarded, Public Works staff requested the following: cape sealing be added on Doolittle Drive between Fairway Drive, Farallon Drive, and on Fairway Drive between Aurora Drive and Doolittle Drive; and striping work at various locations. Analysis The project is substantially complete. All work has been done in accordance with the contract provisions. Certain corrective work cannot be performed unless the atmospheric temperature is 60 degrees Fahrenheit or above. The contractor will complete these items when weather allows. Payment has been retained on this contract until the contractor has performed the required corrective work.
