MEMO March 4, 1999 To: Mayor Wilharber and Council From: Paul Palzer, Public Works Director/Building Official Re: 1999 Street Work Dear Mayor and Council: I have put together a list of the projects for street maintenance this coming road season and would like consensus on the work and approval to proceed with plans and specification to bid the project early this spring. The city is in its third year of the three year contract for crack filling of the streets at a cost of $.37 per foot. I estimate that the city will fill between 25,000 and 30,000 feet this year at a total cost of$9,500.00 to $11,000.00. Last year we estimated that there was only 6000 to 8000 feet to be filled and our contract requires 12,000 feet minimum, so no crack filling was done. This year the city should complete an extensive seal coating project since the last project was performed in 1997. The streets this year include the new streets which have had the final bituminous lift on for over one year plus the streets that were last seal coated in 1991 and 1993. I figure that about 72,000 square yards of roadway would be included and using pea gravel the cost should be about $.45 per yard or $32,500.00 plus engineering costs. I recommend that the city negotiate a lump sum total cost for engineering to include the plans and specification, bidding, contract administration and inspection for the project. The following is a list of the new streets and those streets Last seal coated in 1991 and 1993. I have left out a portion of Peltier Lake Drive from Mill Road to Centerville Road and Center Street from Centerville Road to Pheasant Lane. The reason being is that these two sections I foresee as being reconstructed with water main and new road surface in the next two to four years. If this assumption is incorrect these two streets can be added to the project for $4,500.00. I believe the base of these roadways are in extremely poor condition and the influence of new development will require looping of water main down these streets with contributions from the developers.
