ITEM EXPLANATION:
UIIE;
1988-89 STREETS SLURRY SEAL PROGRAM
@/W 25
The City of Carlsbad is in the fifth year of a major street maintenance program. In the past, the program consisted of street overlays and slurry seal applications, with the chip seal process added in 1988.
The street maintenance program for the current year will again include overlay, chip seal and slurry seal projects. The chip seal project was considered by the Council on July
18, 1989. The overlay project will be submitted for Council consideration on August 1, 1989.
This slurry seal program specifies 34.5 lane miles on several roadways in the City, principally Avenida Encinas, Mision Estancia, Farraday Avenue, Rutherford Road and Ridgecrest Drive. The slurry seal application can cost-effectively extend the life of a street by two (2) to three (3) years.
This year, a revised program of notifying City residents of the forthcoming slurry seal work will be instituted. Door hangers will be distributed to residences and businesses where work will occur 48 hours prior to the start of work. During the two (2) 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, 1989 and will take about twenty (20) workdays to fully complete.
Project costs are estimated to be $118,360. Funds are available in Account No. 001-820-5110-2412.

Q: A:
Q: A:
About SLURRY SEAL
Why can’t I park my car in front of my house?
We have to clean the streets thoroughly before we can apply the slurry seal so it will bond well to the existing surface. Please pay close attention to the “No Parking” signs; we must tow away cars left in the posted areas.
Why do you have to close the street for so long?
The wet slurry mixture of oil, sand and cement can be tracked onto your driveway, your sidewalk or even the inside of your house if your kids or pets get into it. Also, driving on the street before the new surface has completely dried will damage the seal, which means that we - and you - will have to go through the whole process again.
How do 1 get to and from my house?
Park your car outside the construction area and walk. The mail carrier will walk your mail in on that day as well.
How about my scheduled trash pickup?
We do our best to arrange our schedule around trash pickup. If, for some reason, the schedules coincide, we will pick up your trash before or after we work on your street.
Can I catch a bus from a bus stop in the construction area?
No. The bus company will be notified of the road closure and will post a notice at the stop telling you where you can catch
your normal bus.
What can I expect after the slurry seal has been done?
A longer and healthier life for yonr mtreetl Some loose bits of gravel in the first few weeks are nothing to be alarmed about and will be swept up regularly. You also may notice a rough texture as well as a few turning marks at first, which will smooth out with normal traffic on the road.

27. No application of slurry shall occur until all deep patching, skin patching, crack sealing or other prel iminary pavement repairs have been completed. The surface of the pavement shall be thoroughly cleaned and swept by the Contractor, no more than 24 hours prior to the application of slurry seal. The application of slurry shall be scheduled to commence after 7:OOAM and shall be complete prior to 2:OOPM.
36
28. No street will renlain closed after sunset, unless approved by the Utilities and Maintenance Director.
29. No slurry shall be applied when the weather forecast indicates a probability of rainfall or, when the air and pavement temperatures are not higher than 50 degrees and falling. Slurry may be applied when both air and pavement temperatures are 50 degrees and rising.
30. The surface of the pavement shall be fogged with water directly preceding the application of the slurry. The slurry mixture shall be of the designed consistency when deposited on the surface and no additional elements shall be added. Total mixing time shall not exceed forty (40) minutes. A sufficient amount of slurry shall be carried in all parts of the spreader at all times so that complete coverage is obtained. No rippling, lumping, balling or unmixed aggregate shall be permitted, nor shall segregation of the emulsion and aggregate fines from the course aggregate. If the course aggregate settles to the bottom of the mix, the slurry shall be removed from the pavement. No excessive breaking of the emulsion in the spreader box will be allowed,nor shall the condition known as "skinning over" of the slurry. No streaks such as caused by oversized aggregate will be left in the finished pavement. No additional water to be added after material leaves pug mill.
31. The slurry seal shall be applied at a rate which shall provide an average of 1,500 square feet of coverage per ton; but no less than 1,400 square feet nor more than 1,600 square feet. The rate of application for each pass shall average twelve (12) pounds per square yard; but not less than ten (10) pounds nor more than thirteen (13) pounds. The amount of slurry actually placed on the pavement shall not vary more than 10% from the theoretic tonnage calculated for the pavement.
No excessive build-up causing unsightly appearance shall be permitted on longitudinal or traverse joints. Unless otherwise approved, the overlap at the joints will not exceed 2" and shall be feathered; no payment will be made for excessive unapproved over1 aps. Joints between asphalt pavement and concrete pavement and/or excessive slop-over onto the concrete; any unsightly and objectional excess shall be immediately removed. At street intersections, at the beginning and end of work segments, the slurry is to be neatly spread or trimmed to a straight line defined by the near curb lines of the street adjacent to the work.
32.
33. Approved squeegees or lutes shall be used to spread slurry in areas inaccessible to the machine. Care shall be exercised to ensure the maximum rate of application with no excess, and leaving no unsightly appearance. Texture of slurry spread by hand shall match that which was applied by machine. Contractor shall be responsible for the removal of all excess emulsion spread beyond slurry limits, on driveways, sidewalks, etc.
34. Attached to the mixing machine shall be a mechanical type squeegee distributor equipped with flexible material in contact with the surface to prevent loss slurry and adjustable to assure a uniform spread on varying grades and crowns. It shall be steerable, adjustable in width, with a flexible strike-off. The box shall not cause grooving of the slurry by any of its parts. It shall be kept clean and build-up of material on the
37 .-
spreader will not be permitted. The type of drag, linen or other textile, must be approved by the Util-ities and Maintenance Director and it shall be cleaned or changed as frequently as needed or when so directed.

All metal manhole and water valve covers shall receive a heavy coating of a parting agent such as diesel oil, prior to slurry seal application. After the slurry seal has been applied and cured, the Contractor shall remove all slurry seal material attached to manhole and water valve covers.
All raised pavement markers shall be protected from the slurry seal application by tape. After the slurry seal has been applied and cured, the Contractor shall remove all slurry seal mixture and tape from the markers.
The finished surface of the slurry seal shall be at least as smooth as the original pavement surface. Any corrugations on the surface creating vibrations noticeable by passengers in an automobile driving over the slurry sealed surface at legal speeds will result in rejection of the slurry seal construction.
Any slurry seal application that has been rejected shall be removed by cold planning to the original pavement. A new slurry seal application shall then be placed on the pavement. Any placement of slurry seal rejected shall be removed and replaced with the cost borne by the Contractor.
Slurry seal will be paid for at the contract unit price per square foot as shown in the bid. Such price shall constitute full compensation for furnishing and placing of materials required to complete slurry sealing pavement, including the preparation of surface, patching, crack sealing, where required and for labor, equipment, tools and incidentals, needed to complete the work in conformity with the specifications.
The Contractor will provide and install "TOW Away No Parking" construction signs, #TC-R 30-S, for use in posting streets in advance of the work.
