E. Resolution 8381, Approving the Bidding Documents, and Authorizing the Advertisements of Bids for the 2015 Seal Coat Project for Areas A, B & C3. Project Coordinator Stenglein explained the City was in the process of reconstructing 26 miles of City owned streets through its Street Improvement Program. As a part of this program, Areas A, B and C3 were in due for seal coating. He discussed the maintenance that has been conducted on these streets since 2009 and reviewed the seal coating project timeline. Staff recommended the Council approve bidding documents and authorize the advertisement of bids for the 2015 seal coat project. Council Member Mueller requested further information on the City’s seal coating policy. Project Coordinator Stenglein commented that staff was proposing to seal coat the new City streets every five to seven years. He indicated that three project areas were selected to assist in creating a schedule going forward from this point. Mayor Flaherty asked if the seal coating pebbles would be swept away into the City’s sewer lines. Project Coordinator Stenglein explained that all catch basins would have protection installed during the seal coating project. In addition, the roadways would be swept twice to pick up the loose gravel. Finance Director Beer noted that the City was saving 12% of the project costs by completing the engineering work in house. Mayor Flaherty requested that staff speak with the residents in Areas A, B and C in order to ensure that this project is coordinated smoothly with the Area G and H projects.
