Hollister, City Manager City Manager FROM: Uchenna Udemezue, Director Engineering and Transportation D partment BY: Kenneth Joseph, City Engineer Engineering and Transportation Department SUBJECT PROJECT/PROJECT DESCRIPTION: RESOLUTION APPROVING THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND CALLING FOR BIDS FOR THE ANNUAL STREET SEALING 2010 -11 PROJECT, PROJECT NO. 10 -144- 38 -323. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATION This project provides for the application of slurry seal or asphalt rubber cape seal on various streets in San Leandro. The current program will concentrate primarily in the 2011 Asphalt Maintenance Area. Staff recommends approval of the plans and specifications and calling for bids for the subject project. BACKGROUND City staff conducts an annual pavement condition survey using our Pavement Maintenance System to establish the condition of City streets. Based on this survey, various City streets are recommended for one of three maintenance treatments: reconstruction, overlay or sealing. Sealing is the recommended treatment for streets in fairly good condition to rejuvenate and prolong the life of the pavement. Sealing can be done in a number of ways including: slurry seal; microsurfacing; asphalt rubber cape seal; or asphalt rubber double chip seal. The City of San Leandro is divided into four Asphalt Maintenance Areas, which allows Engineering and Transportation and Public Works Services staff to coordinate their activities to ensure an efficient use of resources to maintain City streets. The streets scheduled for this project are primarily in the 2011 Asphalt Maintenance Area (see attached map). Some streets outside of this maintenance area that will benefit from the rubber cape seal treatment in lieu of more expensive reconstruction work have also been included in this project.
