The <br />purpose of this project is to resurface the roadway segments roughly bordered by G <br />Street to the north, Winslow Street to the east, Marshall Street to the south, and Stafford <br />Street to the west. Please see attached project location map. <br /> <br />Slurry seal is part of a two-step roadway resurfacing process known as cape seal. <br />Cape seal is a cost-effective preventive maintenance measure that provides a new <br />wearing surface, seals and protects the underlying pavement from damage due to <br />weather, and extends the useful life of the pavement. Cape seal consists of an initial <br />application of asphalt rubber chip seal where warranted by excessive damage, followed <br />some weeks later by a slurry seal. Some streets may receive only a slurry seal if the <br />roadway surface is not significantly damaged. The cape seal process is generally used <br />to protect low traffic volumelresidential roadway surfaces. <br /> <br />The application of asphalt rubber chip seal and slurry seal are two separate trade <br />specialties. The City contracts and coordinates directly with separate contractors for <br />chip seal and slurry seal work. Contracting for specific roadway resurfacing specialty <br />work results in more cost effective projects and higher quality product. <br /> <br />Notice of the proposed roadway project was mailed to area residents and property <br />owners on June 6,2008 and a press release is scheduled for June 24,2008. <br /> <br />Three (3) bids were received for the 2007-2008 Slurry Seal Project on June 4,2008, <br />and are summarized below. <br />
