| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
Take the following actions regarding the “2020 Crack Sealing Project,” Contract No. 701608: (1) Find the project categorically exempt in conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15301, Class I-Existing Facilities; (2) approve the specifications and direct the Public Works Director to advertise for bids; and (3) authorize opening of bids on or after June 18, 2020, at 11 a.m. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
Permanent Road Divisions (PRDs) maintain private subdivision roads through property tax assessments. Crack sealing is proposed along 21 miles of PRD roads. Crack sealing extends pavement life by preventing water intrusion into the subgrade. It is a very cost-effective treatment to address mild cracking in otherwise sound pavement sections. Specifications are complete. It is recommended that the Board initiate the bidding process. |
| | | | | | | | ALTERNATIVES
The Board may decline to initiate the work at this time. Water intrusion may lead to saturated subgrades with attendant loss of structural support for the overlying pavement. Alternative treatments may be substituted (slurry, chipseal, overlay, reconstruction). Crack sealing is considered to be more cost-effective for the proposed roads. |
| | | | | | | | OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
County Counsel has approved the contract documents as to form. Risk Management has approved the contract documents. The Recommendation has been reviewed by the County Administrative Office. |
| | | | | | | | FISCAL IMPACT
The total project cost estimate is $210,000. Sufficient appropriations are budgeted in the Fiscal Year 2019-20 budgets for the respective PRDs. Corresponding revenues are derived from property tax assessments on the benefitting properties within each PRD. |
