ITEM #: 9
MOTION As part of Consent Agenda
AGENDA ITEM: 2013 Seal Coat Project – Authorize Preparation of Plans & Specifications
SUBMITTED BY: Ryan Stempski, Assistant City Engineer
THROUGH: Dean A. Zuleger, City Administrator
REVIEWED BY: Mike Bouthilet, Public Works
Jack Griffin, City Engineer
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The City Council is respectfully requested to
consider authorizing the preparation of plans and specifications for the 2013 Seal Coat Project.
STAFF REPORT: As part of the annual street maintenance program, certain street and
roadway segments are routinely treated with crack sealing and seal coating to preserve and
extend the useful life of the pavement. The City maintains a 5-year street maintenance plan
which identifies and programs each paved city street with a proposed maintenance application
and designated year. Best management practices for street maintenance are followed to
maximize benefit on the city’s investments. One year in advance of the scheduled maintenance
application, public works and engineering staff perform a field review to verify the scheduled
maintenance activity. Crack sealing was authorized and applied to each of these street segments
in 2012 in preparation of the scheduled seal coating. Later this year, staff will request
authorization to perform Crack sealing for those streets to be seal coated in 2014.
The proposed 2013 Seal Coat Project will consist of 6 miles of City streets (see Improvement
Year 2013 on the attached 2013-2017 Seal Coat Program Map). A budget of $160,000 was
programmed in the 2013 city budget (Fund No. 409 – Infrastructure Reserves), which includes
both construction and engineering.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council consider authorizing
FOCUS Engineering to prepare plans and specifications and to provide bidding and construction
services in the estimated amount of $9,000 for the 2013 Seal Coat Project.
