The second component is for utilization of <br />rubberized chip sealing, which has a reimbursement rate that is a set dollar amount per <br />square yard of rubberized chip sealing installed. <br />No matching funds are required. The City will be reimbursed post-construction for a portion of <br />the cost to install materials containing asphalt rubber. <br />The City of San Leandro performs both paving projects (Annual Overlay/Rehabilitation) and <br />street sealing (Annual Street Sealing) projects on an annual basis. Although the City has not <br />used rubberized asphalt concrete pavement before on a project, the material has been <br />available for four decades and performs well when installed properly. Rubberized asphalt <br />concrete does a better job of resisting crack formation, so the asphalt concrete section can be <br />thinner, which reduces construction costs. Rubberized asphalt concrete projects must be a <br />minimum size in order to be cost effective. Approximately 3,655 tons of rubberized asphalt <br />concrete will be included as a bid alternative on the Annual Overlay/Rehabilitation 2016-17 <br />Project scheduled for construction in 2017. <br />The City currently has CalRecycle grant funding for the use of rubberized chip seals. The <br />existing grant term ends in April 2018, and grant funds will be applied towards the street <br />sealing projects scheduled for the 2016 and 2017 construction seasons. <br />If the City receives funding as part of the seventh cycle of the Rubberized Pavement Grant <br />Program, it will be used for rubberized asphalt concrete paving in 2017 and asphalt rubber <br />chip sealing work scheduled for 2018. <br />Analysis <br />The Rubberized Pavement Grant Program, if awarded to the City, would help pay for some <br />materials used for paving should the City decide to incorporate asphalt rubber in its annual <br />street paving project. The grant would also pay for some materials used in rubberized cape <br />seal. Although rubberized materials cost more than their conventional counterparts, they are <br />more durable and do a better job of resisting reflective cracking. The grant program allows <br />rubberized materials to be cost competitive with traditional asphalt materials. Free technical <br />support is included as part of the Rubberized Pavement Grant Program, to provide assistance <br />during the design and construction phases to help ensure the proper installation and <br />successful projects. <br />Previous Actions <br />·On March 7, 2011, the City Council by Resolution No. 2011-055 authorized the City <br />Manager to file an application for the CalRecycle Rubberized Asphalt Concrete Grant <br />Program for five years commencing on the resolution adoption date. <br />Applicable General Plan Policies <br />This action is consistent with Streets and Highway Goal No. 16 of the General Plan and <br />Action Item 16.03-A: Funding for Maintenance. <br />Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 11/16/2016
