BACKGROUND The 2008-2009 Slurry Seal Project is part of the city's Roadway. Management System (RMS) Program, which performs on-going pavement repair and replacement. The purpose of this project is to resurface the roadway segments roughly bordered by Fifth Avenue to the north, Rolison Road to the east, Marsh Road to the south, and Bay Road to the west. Portions of Vera Avenue and the roadway segments between Veterans Boulevard and U.S. 101 will also be resurfaced. Please see attached project location map. The work of this project will resurface roadways with slurry seal; the second step of a two-step process known as a cape seal. On July 13, 2009, Council awarded the contract for the 2008...2009 Asphalt Rubber Chip Seal Project which is the first step of the process. The slurry seal is a cold mixed asphalt comprised of aggregate, asphalt binder, and additives. It is a cost-effective preventive maintenance measure that provides a new wearing surface, seals and protects the underlying pavement from damage due to weather, and extends the useful life of the pavement. The cape seal consists of an initial application of an asphalt rubber chip seal where warranted by excessive damage, followed some weeks later by the slurry seal. Subsequent to the slurry application, roadways will be restriped to match their original alignment. The asphalt rubber chip seal and slurry seal are two separate trade specialties. The city contracts and coordinates directly with separate contractors for chip seal and slurry seal work. Contracting for specific roadway resurfacing specialty work results in more cost effective projects and a higher quality product. Notice of the proposed roadway project will be mailed to area residents and property owners for receipt on or around July 28, 2009. A press release is scheduled for issue on that same date and staff has discussed the proposed project with members of the Friendly Acres Neighborhood Association.
