Stransky, City Clerk CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE MINNESOTA To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Ryan Schroeder, City Administrator From: Allan Larson Date: February 8, 2010 Subject: 2010 Seal Coat Program Approve Plans and Specifications and Establish Bid Date fT[d:(e3;Z�11P1�31 The 2010 Seal Coat Program is primarily located in an area that is east of Jamaica Avenue, south of 80 Street, north of East Point Douglas Road, and west of Keats Avenue. Seal coating is a common preventive maintenance activity in Minnesota performed by most cities, counties, and MN /Dot districts. The primary reason to seal coat a bituminous pavement is to protect the pavement from the deteriorating affects of sun and water. When the pavement is exposed to sun, wind and water, the bituminous hardens, causing the pavement to become more brittle. As a result, the pavement will crack because it is unable to bend and flex when exposed to traffic and temperature changes. A seal coat combats this situation by providing a waterproof membrane, which not only slows down the hardening process, but also helps the pavement to shed water, preventing it from entering the gravel sub -base material. DISCUSSION: Plans and Specifications Plans and specifications have been prepared in accordance with the City's standards and specifications. The engineers estimate for this improvement is $313,400.00. Funding for this project will come from the City's General Fund as outlined in the current CIP and 2010 budget. Bid Date An April 1, 2010, 11:00 AM bid date offers ample time to provide the legal advertisement and notification to contractors. It is recommended the Council adopt the attached resolution approving the plans and specifications and establishing an April 1, 2010 bid date for the 2010 Seal Coat Program 2010 STREET SEALCOATING PROJECT COTTAGE GROVE, MN S7 79Tt6ST.S W _ LL 80TH ST ! w -- A G �w UP P 815 JO j W Q T LL „� W - U' y ti N uj tf7 y a� i�� y ISLE , " , ' />, SLE � � ' >� .' 2 '- �� F- 5� H ., 'HI W O��" �� R S y' D �v x > 14 W` W __..
