Agenda Item Summary
Name: Consideration of a Resolution Awarding a Bid to Monterey Peninsula Engineering for the Street Improvement Project on Junipero Avenue between Ocean Avenue and 8th Avenue and a total project cost of $363,662.
Description: This project includes the repaving of Junipero Avenue between Ocean and 8th Avenues. The lowest bid of $317,400 was provided by Monterey Peninsula Engineering.
Overall Cost:
City Funds: $363,662 (total to be covered by grant funds)
Construction Bid: $317,400.00
Project Contingency: $31,740.00
Project Engineering and inspection: $9,522.00
Project soil compacting testing: $5,000.00
Grant Funds: $462,760 total TAMC funds available per the attached CIP budget.
Staff Recommendation: Adopt the Resolution.
Important Considerations: There are two amounts included in the Fiscal Year 2010-11 Capital Improvement Budget for this project: $291,760 and $171,000 for a total of $462,760. Junipero Avenue, one of the City’s major arteries, carries significant pedestrian and bus traffic. Its heavy usage has created the pavement to become seriously worn.
Decision Record: The Junipero Street Improvement project has been scheduled for several years and is a project recommended as “high priority” in the Nichols Engineering Pavement Management Study.

ADDENDUM:
Repair and Maintenance Treatments
High quality streets are maintained by using one or more of five different treatments. Which treatment is applied is determined by the pavement’s condition and the volume and size of vehicles regularly traveling on the street. The goal is to provide safe, efficient thoroughfares, while minimizing long-term maintenance costs. The following treatments are ranked in order of most to least substantial and expensive repairs.
1. Reconstruction – The complete removal of curbs, roadway, and base followed by the new construction of the street and curb. Usually, the sidewalks and utilities under the roadway surface are included in this project. The street is under construction for weeks to months. This treatment is the most disruptive to the neighborhood. The life expectancy is at least fifteen years. This is the most expensive treatment usually reserved for the busiest bus and truck routes and streets in very poor condition.
2. Overlay – The edge of the roadway is usually ground down to the depth of the new paving layer to keep the original flow line or gutter line intact. The street surface is oiled to help the new asphalt adhere to the existing layer. A paving machine is used to lay asphalt in lane-width or wider passes to apply a level and smooth structural layer of asphalt (usually at least two inches thick). The street is under construction for usually two different days – one day to grind and one day to pave. The life expectancy is between ten and fifteen years depending on use and traffic. This is the next most expensive treatment and used on the busiest streets where significant bus and truck traffic are present.
3. Chip Seal – The surface of the street is coated with a thin hot temperature emulsion layer containing melted rubber. Small rock chips are spread over the emulsion and rolled into place. The excess rock chips are swept clean. Normally, the City covers the chip seal with a slurry seal to provide a finished look to the street and hold the chips in place. The street is usually under construction for three different days – one day to prepare the street, one day to chip seal, and one day to slurry seal. The life expectancy is seven to twelve years. This is a mid-priced treatment that is typically used on neighborhood streets.
4. Slurry Seal – The surface of the street is coated with a thin emulsion with liquid rubber and course sand layer that requires up to eight hours to cure. The street is usually under construction for two days, one day to prepare the street and one day to slurry seal. The life expectancy is five to seven years. This is a lower cost treatment used to keep good condition streets in good condition.
5. Crack Seal – Cracks present in the street are cleaned using high-pressure air to blow out debris. Hot tar material is applied to fill the crack and smoothed using a squeegee to seal the crack. Sand is spread over the fill material to allow traffic to drive over the fill without sticking to it. This treatment extends the life of streets by eliminating moisture seeping under the asphalt into the base material. The street is usually under construction for part of a day. The life expectancy is from two to five years. This is the least expensive street maintenance activity.

Wouldn't it be nice if the city paid this much attention to our residential streets as they do for the commercial district?
