TITLE:
1988-89 STREETS CHIP SEAL PROGRAM
4mak CITY c1nAm%3? MOR.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 8459 approving contract documents,
special provisions and specifications and authorizing the
City Clerk to advertise for bids for the 1988-89 Streets Chip Seal Program.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The City is in the fifth year of a major street maintenance
program. In the past, the program consisted of street
overlays and slurry seal applications only. In 1988, the
chip seal process was introduced to provide for improved
sealing and traction and to extend pavement life on major
roads. A chip seal consists of imbedding 3/8 inch size
gravel in a thick layer of asphalt sealant, before the
sealant has cured. The chip seal application can cost-
effectively extend the life of a street by three to five (3 to 5) years.
The chip seal program specifies thirty-four (34) lanes miles on several roadways: Tamarack Avenue, Marron Road, Chestnut Avenue, El Camino Real, Carlsbad Boulevard and Elm Avenue.
This year, a revised program of notifying City residents of the forthcoming chip seal work will be instituted. Door hangers will be distributed to residences where work will occur, 48 hours prior to the start of work. During the two weeks prior to the work, announcements will appear in local newspapers, and on local radio and cable television. This revised program should better advise the citizens as to the timing of the work to be performed.
Contract documents, special provisions and specifications have been prepared and are on file in the City Clerk's Office and the Purchasing and Utilities and Maintenance Departments. Work is anticipated to take place during October and November, 1989, and will take about thirty (30) work days to fully complete, including sweeping, striping and pavement markings.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Project costs are estimated to be $243,877. Funds are available in Account No. 001-820-5110-2412.
