AUII~ORIZATION TO N)VERTISE FOR BIDS FOR SLURRY SEAL PROJECT, lg86-87 FY
RECOMMENDATION-
For City Council meeting of April 20, 1987. It is re.commended that City Council
adopt a resolution approving specifications and authorizing advertising for bids.
BACKGROUND-
The current budget (page 146) provides $340,000 for a major street maintenance
program. The program will consist of two components: slurry seal and asphalt
concrete overlay. Slurry seal should be applied on a periodic cycle and the area
recommended in this project is south of I-5 Freeway, east of Newport Avenue, north
of Edinger and west of the old ATSF right of way plus Walnut from old ATSF right of
way to Myford. This area was last done in 1979 and 1980.
The estimated cost of the slurry seal project is $117,000 leavin~ $223,000 for the
overlay project which will be scheduled in May for City Council bid authorization.
We are proposing a slightly coarser slurry mix than that used in the past. The new
seal' is not as smooth as the old but it provides better surface resistance to
skidding. It also provides longer service and therefore allows an increase in the-
cycle between applications from 4-5 years to 7-8 years. There will be some
shedding of tiny. rOcks for a period of about 6-8 weeks after the surface is
treated.
Slurry seals replace asphalt and fine aggregates lost from the pavement surface
because of oxidation and wear. They extend the life Of streets and help prevent
costly reconstruction which may result when preventive maintenance programs are not
i n effect.
