ISSUE
Should the City Council enter into a contract with LaFarge North America for $916,667
for street maintenance (overlay).
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
A vital element of the City's ongoing street maintenance program includes asphalt
overlay. Under this contract 116 blocks of City streets will be resurfaced with
approximately one -inch thickness of asphalt.
The streets included in this year's project were selected through a process that takes into
account the condition of the street, logical grouping to reduce mobilization costs, and
input from utility companies on future pipe line renewal projects. These streets generally
have extensive cracking and a rough uneven surface.
Prior to the new overlay, the City Streets Division will repair areas that exhibit sub -base
failure. Streets that have a build up of asphalt at the gutter from prior year overlays will
be milled down.
A list of the streets included in this year's project, along with a copy of the bid summary,
is attached.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funding for this project will come from Highway Users Tax Fund, Project Number
CP0209.
