. . . Memoral1dum May 30, 2006 Page 2 ]) Do Nothing: This would be considered unacceptable to the homeowners. Although the City is 110t obligated to provide multiyear warrantees or premium quality for driveway reconstruction, the seltlemel1ts which occurred do create an ul1sightly condition and will reduce the effeetive life of the pavement. 2) Rcplace the 110rthem 36' with bituminous 311d a l1ew concrele apron: Reconstructil1g the aprol1 with the driveway would allow for 3 driveway grade of approximately 0.5% which would bc very close to the origil1al slope al1d provide a better likelihood of success for industry standard bitumil10us construction. The apron work would be done by Amt COl1slruction while the bituminous work would be done by T.A. Schifsky & Sons. Tbc cstimated cost for this option is approximately $6,500. 3) Replace the northcm 36' with concrete pavement without rcconstructing the concrete apron. This work could be done by Amt ConstnlCtion or Hage Concrde Works (homeowncr's choice). Using 2006 rates for driveway improvements, the estimated cost for this option accomplished by Amt Construction would be approximately $8,500. The quote from Hage Concrete Works solicited by the homeowner would result in a cost of approximately $1 2,000 (adjusted to 60% of the total price actually quoted). This option would result in a drivc\vay that is. 600/0 concrete and 40o/~ bituminous.. The homcowner~ s position is that the entire driveway be rcconsttucted in concrete unLess a guarantee of "no pavemcl1t seltlemel1t" can be made with bituminous. The homeowner does not feel that they should participate in any of the costs to remedy the situation. The City has spel1t approximately $4,300 on this driveway as a part of the 2004 PMP project. If the homeowner would have agreed to a concrete driveway at the initial constmction the cost to the City would have been approximately $8,700 in 2004 dollars. The roadway portion of the final payment to Amt was approximately $15,000 less than the contract amount. Rccomnlendation: Wc believe that Option 2 is the best solution to the problem and should provide the homeowl1er with a driveway that is very comparable to the original in slope and mateJiaL The bitunlinous and concrete removal and ncw apron work could be dOl1e by Amt Construction under the 2006 PMP contract for approximately $2,000.00. The new bituminous driveway is recormncllllcd to be accomplished by T.A. Schifsky and Sons and should cost approximately $4,000.00 (they provided a quote of$6,000 for the entire driveway in November, 2005). A sea !coat over tbe whole driveway would provide a uniform look to the dJiveway as weIl as a more impervious surface and longevity to the driveway_ Sealcoat work may be best accomplished alter the driveway is cured (several months- one year) 311d could be perfolllled by the homeowner or contracted out at a cost of approximately $300.
