Body
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
Gas Tax Funds in the total amount of $350,000 have been appropriated for this project through the Fiscal Year 2012-13 Capital Improvement Plan. For final budget and expenditure accounting, please see Attachment No. 1.
BACKGROUND:
As a routine maintenance measure, the Public Works Department slurry seals asphalt streets and parking lots on a seven-year cycle. Slurry seal is a mixture of fine aggregates and emulsified asphalt spread in a thin layer over asphalt pavements. The process fills cracks, provides a new wearing surface and increases pavement life by mitigating water intrusion. The slurry seal is applied in liquid form and dries in approximately four hours depending on temperature and humidity. The process is performed through a one-day operation with minimal inconvenience to residents. City crews will fill potholes, depressions and cracks prior to application of the slurry seal.
At its meeting of November 5, 2013, City Council awarded a contract in the net amount of $229,613.51 to Roy Allan Slurry Seal for the 2013 Slurry Seal Project and approved additional work, if necessary, in an amount not to exceed of $22,961.35 (10% of contract amount).
DISCUSSION:
The areas slurry sealed in the 2013 project were the section of the City's streets bounded by Boundary Place to the south, Manhattan Beach Boulevard to the north, Sepulveda Boulevard to the east, and Ardmore Avenue to the west (Area 1 on attached map).
The Contractor began the project on January 8, 2014. Striping and traffic markings were applied the following week.
Final Payment
The Contractor has completed the work and is requesting formal acceptance of the work and final payment in the amount of $205,802.63. A five percent (5%) retention in the amount of $10,831.72 would be released upon the expiration of 35 days after recordation of the Notice of Completion with the County Recorder. All work inspected by the Public Works Department has been found to be in conformance with the plans and specifications.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council pass a motion to:
a) Approve the issuance of a final payment in the net amount of $205,802.63 to Roy Allan Slurry Seal for the 2013 Slurry Seal Project;
b) Formally accept the 2013 Slurry Seal Project as complete; and,
