Title
Public Improvement Contract with Intermountain Slurry Seal, Inc. for the 2020 Preventive Pavement Maintenance Type II Slurry Seal Project
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion):
Award the bid and authorize the City Manager to execute the Public Improvement Contract in the amount of $211,998.50 with Intermountain Slurry Seal, Inc. to provide construction services to complete the 2020 Preventive Pavement Maintenance Type II Slurry Seal Project Contract (CI-20-004).
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The slurry seal treatment, consisting of a mixture of emulsified asphalt, water, and well-graded fine aggregate, fills existing pavement surface defects and extends the life of the road by an estimated 5 to 7 years. Without this treatment, these cracks and rough surfaces will become more porous, allowing water to compromise the subgrade and causing the road section to fail.
The work authorized by this contract is funded through the City’s Pavement Maintenance Utility Fee (PMUF) which is used to administer the Pavement Maintenance Program and is a necessary component of the City’s annual street maintenance commitment. The condition of these streets is fair, but all the streets show signs of age through limited pavement cracking and rough surfaces.
BACKGROUND:
