Background
The city has over 748 miles of paved arterial, collector and residential roadways, which represents an investment of over $1 billion in the street network based on replacement costs in today’s economy. With the exception of minor street and concrete repairs (potholes, small paving projects, curb, and sidewalk repairs) the city currently contracts for all other preventative maintenance and reconstructive roadway projects.
The Crack Seal project for the Pavement Management Program provides for approximately 60 miles of crack seal surface preservation on various arterial, collector, and residential streets throughout the city. Specifically this project includes cleaning cracks in the existing pavement and applying a rubber sealant product.
Analysis
The Engineering division published a Notice to Contractors requesting bids for the Pavement Management Program - Crack Seal (project number 151631) on June 9, and 16, 2016. Eight contractors obtained the bid documents. On July 19, 2016, five bids were received, with Cactus Asphalt submitting the lowest responsive and responsible bid in the amount of $889,110.10. Staff anticipates issuing a Notice to Proceed late September, with application beginning in October 2016.
