6.1.E. - Page 1 REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager July 11, 2011 SUBJECT Award of Contract — 2010 -2011 Slurry Seal Project RECOMMENDATION Approve, by motion, the contract documents and award the standard form contract 00520 for the 2010 -2011 Slurry Seal Project to American Asphalt Repair and Resurfacing Co., Inc. of Hayward, for their responsive and responsible low base bid of $584,938.60, and authorize the City Manager to increase the contract amount up to 10% if necessary. BACKGROUND The 2010 -2011 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 portions of Hudson Street, Valota Road, James Avenue, Charter Street, Marlin Court, Marlin Drive, Blomquist Street, Seaport Boulevard, Chesapeake Drive, Galveston Drive, Penobscot Drive, and Saginaw Drive. Portions of Redwood Avenue, Broadway, Marshall Street, Middlefield Road, and Maple Street will also be resurfaced. The work of this project will treat cracks in the pavement, followed by a slurry seal resurfacing of the designated roadways. Slurry is a cold mixed material 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. Subsequent to the slurry application, roadways will be restriped similar to their original alignment. Minor striping changes will take place on some streets. On Marshall Street, traffic will be reduced to three lanes including a center left turn lane to accommodate new bicycle lanes. Other streets will have wider right lanes to provide extra space for bicyclists to share the roadway with vehicles. Work on 2010 -2011 roadway projects is scheduled to begin mid -July and conclude at the end of September. Residents and property owners received notification of proposed roadway work as scheduled in their area by direct mail. A press release was issued on or around June 29, 2011. Updates on the progress of construction will be available on the city's website.
