Studenski, City Engineer COUNCIL MEETING DATE: February 9, 2004 TOPIC: Resolution No. 04 -23, Authorizing Preparation of Plans and Specifications for 2004 Sealcoat Project Vote Required: Simple Majority BACKGROUND: Each year the City maintains its streets by sealcoating. Sealcoating places a thin layer of oil and rock on the street to enhance the surface. Candidate streets include new streets that received the wear course 2 - 3 years ago and all other streets are done on a 5 - 7 year cycle. This year, approximately 5 miles of streets will be sealcoated at an estimated total project cost of $77,000. The 2004 budget includes $61,000 for sealcoating. The difference between the annual City budget amount and the total bid amount would be funded from the City's Sealcoat fund as this reflects the cost of the first time sealing of new roadways. The schedule for this project is as follows: City Council Authorizes Plans and Specifications City Council Approves Plans and Specifications City Council Authorizes Ad for Bids Open Bids City Council Awards Contract Construction Begins February 9, 2004 March 22, 2004 March 22, 2004 April, 2004 May, 2004 June, 2004 OPTIONS: 1.
