Walnut Avenue Rehabilitation from Browning Avenue to Myford Road (CIP No. 7125) October 21, 2002 Page 2 BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION The construction of the Walnut Avenue Rehabilitation from Browning Avenue to Myford Road Project was substantially complete on July 10, 2002. However, due to concerns with surface ride quality, the contractor was requested to further evaluate the asphalt concrete surface material and placement procedures for applicable industry standards. In response to the City's request, the contractor completed a thorough investigation, which included meetings with representatives from the materials company who flew to California from Texas to evaluate this matter. After review of the surface conditions, the asphalt concrete mix design, and the machinery and procedures used to place the asphalt concrete, it was concluded by the representative that the material and the application were per industry standards. The contractor then proceeded with re-rolling the entire project with a pneumatic-tire-roller on a high temperature day, which appears to have produced a smoother, more even ride for vehicle traffic. In addition, City staff requested a review by the County of Orange Materials Laboratory representatives of the road conditions. The County of Orange representatives reviewed the road conditions and made a visual inspection of the contractor's work. They concluded that the pavement overlay application was within industry standards. The City also retained the services of a third party pavement specialist to evaluate the reconstructed pavement surface. Based upon this analysis it was determined that the pavement surface was within industry standards. The pavement specialist also indicated that the surface would even out and provide a smoother ride as more vehicles use this roadway in the future. All of the construction work for this project has been completed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer, and is now ready for City Council acceptance. )~,~Tim D.
