REPORT To the Honorabie Mayor and City Council From the City Manager June26, 2000 Subject Advertisement for Bids - Citywide Street Resurfacing Project Engineering File No. 806-02 Recommendation Adopt a resolution approving the Contract Documents entitled, "Contract Documents for the Citywide Street Resurfacing Project," and authorize the advertisement for bids. Background In 1994 and 1995, the City introduced the Roadway Management System (RMS), which is a data base of existing roadway conditions of all Redwood City streets and roadways. The RMS keeps and calculates the Pavement Condition Index (PCI), which is the basis of selecting streets for our continuous roadway improvements The City updated the RMS database in late 1999. Due to the results of the new RMS, staff recognized that the City should apply the following treatment to the roadway system as part of the routine annual roadway maintenance and re�abilitation program: 1. Maintenance treatment (Slurry Seal) for streets that are in good condition (PCI of 70-90). This treatment maintains and improves the existing condition of the roadway with significantly fow costs compared to doing street overlay. 2. Thin overlay/cape seal for streets in fair condition (PCI of 50-70) to prevent further deterioration. 3. Thick asphalt overlay for deteriorated streets with PCI of 25-50. The slurry seal, thin overlay, and thick overlay are done in three separate procedures, the staff decided to call for three separate contracts. By breaking the roadway maintanace and rehabilitation program into three separate contracts, the work will be coordinated directly with the contractor performing each specialty item, thus eliminating the prime contractor's mark-up, usually associated with subcontractors. With the City directly coordinating the specialty contractors, allowing them do what they do best, we should be able to achieve a better quality project as well. .___ _..__.. .�_�
