• The City maintains approximately 1,900 lane miles of streets in its system.
• The purpose of this contract is to repair areas of failed pavement on streets that are getting treated in the annual pavement preservation program.
• City maintenance crews do not have the capacity to do this amount of pavement repair before the annual pavement preservation program begins.

Goal 1, Objective 1.2: Ensure our infrastructure, including buildings and utilities, is safe, environmentally responsible and well maintained.

The 2021 Pavement Repairs Project is being constructed as part of the pavement management program. This project involves repairing failed pavement on streets that will receive a preservation treatment in 2021. Preservation treatments include microsurfacing, slurry sealing, chip sealing, and cape sealing. Most of the pavement, on the streets selected for preservation, is in fair condition and is ready for a preservation treatment. However, areas of failed pavement need to be repaired before a preservation treatment may be placed on them. This is work that has been done every year to prepare the streets for preservation.

This project also includes streets that are not receiving a preservation treatment this year. Because of the poor pavement condition, the City is incurring excessive maintenance costs for City crews to do maintenance repairs such as filling potholes and ruts on those streets. It will be more cost effective to do pavement repairs than to continue doing maintenance repairs on them.

The attached vicinity map shows where streets will receive pavement repairs. Corridors include W 16th St, Columbia St, Grand Blvd, Falk Rd, Main St, St James Rd, NE 58th St, NE 94th Ave, NE 98th Ave, NE 112th Ave, NE 59th St, NE 137th Ave and various streets in the Green Meadows Neighborhood Association.

On March 16, 2021, the City received five bids for the subject project. The bids ranged from $668,754.00 to $833,833.00 dollars. The low bidder was responsive. The bids are as follows:

There is a minimum apprenticeship goal of 3% of the utilized labor hours for this project. Lakeside Industries, Inc. of Vancouver, Washington has submitted an Apprenticeship Utilization Plan to meet or exceed this goal by using approximately 82 hours of apprentice time of the estimating a total of 2,733 applicable labor hours for the project.

1. Will result in preparing the streets for the upcoming Preservation Project on arterials and within neighborhoods protecting the City’s investment in its street network.
2. Will reduce higher future maintenance costs on City streets.
3. Will follow through on commitments and improve neighborhood livability.
