                   June 22, 2010 Consent Agenda Item – Set Bid Date of July 6, 2010

Please include the following item on the City Commission consent agenda for consideration at the June 22, 2010 meeting:

Project Description.  This concrete pavement and curb and gutter repair project includes the collector street Inverness Dr from Bob Billings Parkway to Clinton Parkway.  The street curb and gutter and concrete pavement sections to be worked on are in poor condition with extensive concrete deterioration.  An effective curb and gutter and concrete pavement repair program will reestablish desired drainage, structural, and ridability characteristics to a concrete street and reduces other long-term maintenance and rehabilitation costs.

Project History.  The city’s annual pavement maintenance program was reviewed and approved by City Commission on December 1, 2009.  Of the various program projects, the 2010 Crack Seal Program and 2010 Microsurfacing Program were awarded on February 9, 2010, the 2010 Overlay Program Phase 1 was awarded on March 23, 2010, and all of which are currently active projects.  The KLINK Overlay of E 23^rd St from Haskell Ave to east City Limits was awarded on May 4, 2010 with an anticipated project start date in the coming weeks.  The 2010 Overlay Program Phase 2 was bid on June 15, 2010 with an anticipated start in early July 2010.  Multiple other street locations, to be completed by City Street Maintenance Staff, are also planned for this construction season.

Project Details.  The project includes the removal and replacement of curb and gutter sections and concrete full depth pavement patch repairs to restore structural capacity, proper drainage, and ride quality to the City street.

Project Funding.  The pavement maintenance program is funded from several sources including the general fund, motor fuels tax, sales tax and sales tax reserve, and capital improvement reserve accounts.  This contract was included in the 2010 Pavement Maintenance Program for concrete street rehabilitation to be paid from the stormwater and CIP reserve funds.

Action Request.  Set Bid Date of July 6, 2010 for the 2010 Concrete Rehabilitation Program - Project No. PW1014.
