DESCRIPTION:
The City Council allocated $40,000 for the slurry seal of City streets
as part of the 1986-87 street maintenance budget. The Engineer's Estimate for
this project is broken down as follows:
Slurry Seal $32,000
Design and Inspection 8,000
Total: 40,000
The patching which was required prior to the slurry seal installation is
being done as part of the annual street overlay contract.
Slurry seal is a preventive maintenance technique used to prolong the
life of a street. It consists of a sand/oil mixture which seals cracks and
provides a new uniform wearing surface. The City streets are presently on a
five- to seven-year cycle depending upon the level of wear.
This year's targeted location for slurry seal is the Davona Drive area.
It is Staff's recommendation that the City Council authorize Staff to
advertise Contract 87-3.
