Please include the following item on the City Commission consent agenda for consideration at the March 5, 2013 meeting:

 

Project Description.  This concrete rehabilitation project includes intermittent curb repair and replacement, various concrete street pavement removal and replacement, and the retrofit of imprinted concrete crosswalks.  The street curb and gutter and concrete pavement sections to be worked on are in poor condition with extensive concrete deterioration.  General project areas including potential add alternates, as material quantities allow, are shown on the attached location map.

 

Project History.  The City’s annual pavement maintenance program was reviewed and approved by the City Commission on January 15, 2013.  Other Contracted Maintenance Program projects such as the 2013 Crack Seal Program (to be performed by City internal crews), the 2013 Microsurfacing Program, the 2013 Overlay Program Phase 1, and the KLINK Overlay work on Iowa St from 29th St to City Limit are also planned for this construction season as presented at the January 15, 2013 City Commission Meeting.

 

Project Details.  The bulk of the project includes the removal and replacement of curb and gutter sections and concrete full depth pavement patch repairs to restore structural capacity and proper drainage to the City streets.  Imprinted concrete crosswalks as well as some concrete access ramps are also included.

 

Project Funding.  The pavement maintenance program is funded from several sources including the general fund, gas tax funds, sales tax and sales tax reserve, and capital improvement reserve accounts.  Funding for the program was approved in August, 2012 and adopted in the 2013 City Budget.  This project was included in the 2013 Pavement Maintenance Program for concrete rehabilitation to be paid from the general fund and storm water fund.

 

Action Request.  Set Bid Date of March 19, 2013 for City Bid No. B1315, Project No. PW1319 - 2013 Concrete Rehabilitation Program.
