...5. / d- / REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Ci Mana er October 3, 2005 Subject Rejection of Bids for the 2004-2005 Slurry Seal Project Recommendation Approve the Contract Documents and authorize staff to reject all bids, and direct the return of bid security for the 2004-2005 Slurry Seal Project; Background Staff recommends that all bids be rejected, and that the project be re-bid again next spring, at the beginning of the season. Staff believes that the bid prices will be lower as the contractors will be more competitive with the bidding process. It is also hoped that the cost of the slurry seal emulsion will decrease. This year's Cape Seal Project is a continuation of the Pavement Management Programs' annual maintenance and rehabilitation projects. The Slurry Seal surfacing project is the second part of the two-part Cape Seal Project. (The first part is the Asphalt Rubber Chip Seal (ARCS) Project, tentatively scheduled to start at the end of this month, will take place as planned.) Cape Seals are surface treatments, generally applied on low volume/residential streets, which are utilized to provide a new wearing surface and to prevent water penetration of the pavement surface, thereby extending the pavement's life. Advance preparatory work is necessary prior to the project, to rehabilitate deteriorated portions of the roadway. This work typically involves sealing cracks and placing thin layers of new asphalt pavement to level the surface to remove depressions, ruts, and surface raveling. This work is currently being performed by the Public Works Services', Street Maintenance Section. The stages of construction for the Slurry Seal Project are as follows: 1. Removal of existing roadway striping and raised markers; and covering of all existing street utility covers and storm drain inlets. 2. Application of slurry seal on roadway surface, and sweeping. 3. Replacement of roadway striping and markings. . Page 1 of 2
