Because this "cape seal° method is done in <br /> two separate procedures, it calls for two separate contracts (i.e., chip seal and slurry <br /> seal). By breaking this project into two separate contracts, the work will be coordinated <br /> directly with the contractor performing each specialty item, thus eliminating the prime <br /> contractor's mark-up, usually associated with subcontractors. With the City directly <br /> coordinating the specialty contractors, we should be able to achieve a better quality <br /> project as well. <br /> Advance preparation work is necessary prior to the start of the 2003-2004 Asphalt <br /> Rubberized Chip Seal Project. This work involves sealing cracks and leveling the <br /> existing surface with a thin layer of asphalt to smooth out the depressions, ruts, and <br /> raveling, typical of badly deteriorated streets. This preparation work is currently being <br /> performed by the City's Public Works Services Street Maintenance Section, and will be <br /> completed as scheduled before the 2003-2004 Asphalt Rubberized Chip Seal Project <br /> begins. Once the 2003-2004 Asphalt Rubberized Chip Seal Project is finished, the <br /> 2003-2004 Slurry Seal Project will begin approximately two weeks later, which will then <br /> complete the "Cape Seal" resurfacing method. <br /> The stages of construction for the project are as follows: <br /> 1. Removing the roadway striping and covering the manhole, vatve box, and <br /> other utility boxes. <br /> 2. Application of the Slurry Seal. <br /> 3. Striping. <br /> Page 1 of 2 <br />
