RE:	Project No. PW1402 – 2014 Overlay, Patch, and Microsurfacing Program – City Bid No. B1411, set bid date of March 11, 2014

Please include the following item on the City Commission consent agenda for consideration at the February 25, 2014 meeting:

Project Description:

The patch and microsurfacing portion of the project includes a number of City residential and collector streets generally bordered by W 6^th St to Riverridge Rd and N Iowa St to Tennessee St with the inclusion of two City parking lots downtown. Streets to receive microsurfacing are determined to be in generally good condition. Those that are deteriorated beyond the recommended condition for microsurfacing are included in this project as part of the milling and overlay program.

Project History:

The City’s annual pavement maintenance program was reviewed and approved by the City Commission on January 21, 2014. Other contracted maintenance program projects such as the 2014 Crack Seal Program (to be performed by City internal crews), the 2014 Overlay and Concrete Rehabilitation Program, and the KLINK Microsurfacing and Overlay project are also planned for this construction season as presented at the January 21, 2014 City Commission Meeting.

Project Details:

The project includes various surface and full depth patching of deteriorated areas on City streets followed by the microsurfacing of the entire pavement surface OR milling, patching, and overlay as designated (see attached location map). All existing pavement markings including bike lanes will be reestablished. Additional bicycle pavement markings (sharrows) will be included on many streets throughout the project work areas as coordinated by the Public Works Department based on recommendations from Bicycle Advisory Committee.

Project Funding:

The pavement maintenance program is typically funded from several sources. Funding for the program was approved in August, 2013 and adopted in the 2014 City Budget. This project was included in the 2014 Pavement Maintenance Program for microsurfacing & overlay to be paid from the general fund, bonded debt, storm water, sales tax, and transit.

Action Request:

Set bid date of March 11, 2014 for City Bid No. B1411, Project No. PW1402 - 2014 Overlay, Patch, and Microsurfacing Program.
