Body
Issue/Request:
Key Issues:
• Pavement crack sealing is a vital part of the City's Pavement Maintenance Program. Sealing cracks greater than 1/8" protects the pavement sub-grade from excessive moisture
• Timely application of the correct type of maintenance has been shown to extend the life of a pavement system
• Crack sealing reduces risk of potholes forming, thus reducing other maintenance costs

SECOND MOTION: I move for adoption of AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE AWARD OF BID NO. 324-17/18 (crack seal) FOR THE CRACK SEAL 17/18 PROGRAM TO SCODELLER CONSTRUCTION INC. AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO TO AN AGREEMENT FOR THE SAME IN THE AMOUNT OF $197,400.00.
Background:
The Crack Seal Program is a pavement preservation process performed annually to protect the integrity of street pavements, thus extending the life expectancy of the pavement surfaces. This practice is similar to caulking seams on a house to prevent water infiltration. Crack sealing reduces the amount of surface water that penetrates the pavement, which undermines and deteriorates the road base. Crack sealing keeps water from further damaging the roadways and helps limit future pot holes and pavement failures. To achieve the greatest benefit, crack seal must be placed on sound pavement.
