6.3. SR 12-03-2007REQUEST FOR ACTION ver To Item Number Ci Council 6.3. Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by Administration December 3, 2007 Ter Maurer, Public Works Director Item Description Reviewed by Pavement Management Program-2008 Street Overlays Lori ohnson, Ci Administrator ^ Resolution Ordering a Preliminary Feasibility Report Reviewed by Action Requested Adoption of the attached resolution, ordering the preliminary feasibility report for the bituminous overlay improvement of 2008. It should be noted that since this is acity-initiated project, adoption of the resolution will require afour-fifths vote of the City Council. Background/Discussion In even-numbered years, the city has typically undertaken an assessable bituminous overlay project on some of the older streets in the community. The purpose of these improvements is to extend the life of these streets before they deteriorate to a point where reconstruction is the only option. With our new ICON pavement management software, we have been able to enter in the last 15 years of bituminous overlays. With this information, together with Phil Hals and Mark Thompson of the Street Division, we have come up with a recommendation for the 2008 assessable overlay project. The city has also tried to pave some of the remaining gravel roads in the city with each overlay project, in an effort to eliminate all gravel roads within the city. The attached map shows the recommended roads to be considered for the feasibility study along with the recommended gravel roads to be considered paved with this project. Financial Impact Generally, there is little or no financial impact to the city, as 100 percent of the construction and overhead costs has been assessed to the benefited properties. The Street Division will spend some time preparing the roads to accept the overlay and finishing shouldering and other minor work after the overlay. The preparatory work would include patching or crack filling in areas that are in need of work before the bituminous overlay.
