The purpose of reviewing the options surface treatment of streets <br /> • is to lead into the 1990 Street Maintenance Program. The staff <br /> is requesting direction regarding the type of surface treatment <br /> to request in the project documents. Our options are to choose <br /> one of the above listed options, or to combine options, or to <br /> allow alternates. <br /> Choosing one of the options is what we have previously done. In <br /> 1988 we used thin overlays, and in 1989 we used chip seals. I do <br /> not believe slurry seals have ever been used in Mounds View. We <br /> could do some streets with chip seal, some with thin overlays, <br /> and some with slurry; or we could allow the contractor to choose <br /> one method through an alternative bid specification. This would <br /> almost assuredly favor chip seal as slurry seals tend to cost 30 <br /> to 40 percent more than chip seals, and thin overlays can cost <br /> up to triple the cost of a chip seal. <br /> Monday night we will present the list of streets for this years <br /> program, along with our recommendation for the method of surface <br /> treatment. I request that Council members consider the concerns <br /> residents have expressed and the comments above in determining <br /> the direction for us to pursue. <br /> • <br /> • <br />
