Re: Authorize Solicitation of Quotes for 2010 Cul-de-sac Program and 2010 Crack
Seal Program
Council is requested to aLrthorize solicitation of quotes for the 2010 Cul-de-sac Program
and 2010 Crack Seal Program.
Similar to the Seal Coat Program, the Cul-de-sac Program extends the pavement life by
rejuvenating the roadway surface. By contrast to applying oil and rock, the Cul-de-sac
Program is a single coat, fiber reinforced, polymer modified liquid asphalt resurfacing
product. It provides a rich black appearance while eliminating the persistent loose rock
that often occurs on seal coat projects within cul-de-sacs due to heavy turning movements
(ie. Garbage tricks, delivery tricks, careless driving etc). Ten (10) cul-de-sacs are
proposed to be sealed in the 2010 program.
Crack Sealing is also a necessary pavement management practice that prevents water
from seeping through cracks and undermining the roadway and creating potholes. The
2010 Crack Seal Program consists of routing and filling pavement cracks with a hot
ribber crack sealer to approximately 8.31 miles of residential streets, or $15,000.00
maximum, whichever comes first.
