TITLE: 2024 PAVEMENT CRACK TREATMENT ON VARIOUS STREETS PROJECT CIP 9981 RECOMMENDED MOTION:
A motion to approve a Resolution accepting the 2024 Pavement Crack Treatment on Various Streets Project, CIP No. 9981 for maintenance and responsibility.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On November 12, 2024, the City Council awarded the 2024 Pavement Crack Treatment on Various Streets Project, CIP No. 9981, to Carter Enterprises Group Inc DBA Pavement Rehab Company via Resolution No. 23155 for a contracted amount of $ 505,888. Construction began on February 24, 2025, with an allowance of 25 working days for project completion. Pavement Rehab Company has completed pavement maintenance for 41 road segments under this contract, including one deductive contract change order, for a grand total of $465,206.55. Substantial completion was on April 11, 2025.
BACKGROUND:
On May 7, 2024, the City Council established the Pavement Management and Street Selection Policy (Resolution No. 22953) to strategically distribute funding to address pavement deterioration. The policy identified crack treatment as a stop gap/maintenance strategy to prevent water migration into existing pavements. On June 25, 2024, the City Council approved the 5-Year Pavement Preservation Street List (Resolution No. 23031). This list identified the streets that were to receive pavement treatment (maintenance or rehabilitation) in the coming years. In an effort to prevent the selected streets from deteriorating more rapidly, crack treatment was identified as a lower cost effort to provide a short-term protection from water intrusion into the pavement subsurface.
On July 22, 2024, the City Engineer approved the project specifications and authorized the call for bids for the crack treatment project. However, due to a miscalculation that would have allowed for negotiation of the contract unit pricing and would have jeopardized the competitive bid process, bids were rejected on October 22, 2024, via Resolution No. 23135.
The City Engineer approved the revised project plans and specifications on October 4, 2024. On October 25, 2024, City staff opened bids at a public meeting held via Zoom meeting. The lowest responsive and responsible bidder Carter Enterprises Group Inc. dba Pavement Rehab Company submitted a bid that was below the engineer’s estimate and was awarded a contract for $505,888 on November 12, 2024, via Resolution No. 23155.
The 2024 Pavement Crack Treatment on Various Streets Project, CIP 9981 called for pavement crack treatment on various streets. Exhibit A, attached to this report, provides the project location map and Table No. 1 below, identifies the street segments that received pavement crack treatment.
