IV. BACKGROUND
On February 1, 2022, City Council approved Item No. 20 awarding a Construction Contract to PALP, Inc. for $1,129,211.00 for the construction of Project No. 1413-4: City-wide Annual Rubberized Slurry Seal, and Crack Seal program. City Council also authorized the expenditure of construction contingencies for $169,381.65 (15%) for any unforeseen construction work that may be necessary to complete this project, for a total budget of $1,298,592.65.
This project consisted of utilizing rubberized slurry seal on City streets due to its superior benefits over conventional slurry seal in preventing deterioration of the existing pavement. Application of rubberized slurry seal is the best-cost effective approach extending pavement lives, preserving structural capacity, and providing quality service to the traffic.
The project area is bordered by Carson Street, Avalon Boulevard, 223rd Street, and Main Street (Districts 1, 2, & 4). Other streets added to the project are Loyola Avenue, Pepperdine Drive, Howard Avenue, and Morehouse Drive in District 1 as they had the highest need for this type of roadway surface treatment.
The construction of this project has been completed in a satisfactory manner and the street is open for public use. Staff is requesting the City Council to accept the project as complete and authorize staff to proceed with the filing of the Notice of Completion
V. FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact is associated with the recommended action items.
