Re: 2019 Pavement Preservation Program—Crack Sealing

ADMINISTRATION/ENGINEERING; PAVING BONDS
ON THE QUESTION
Mark Saunders, Assistant Construction Engineer
The 2019 paving preservation program is our crack sealing. Crack sealing is applied to an applicant to prevent
moisture and water from penetrating and further degrading the roadway. Crack sealing would be applied on
roughly 31 miles of streets. It has been proven to add roadway life. Approximately three years is what you get
out of additional life out of a roadway when you crack seal. Also, it will increase the PCI of the roadway as well
as the PCI for the overall roadway network.
Alderman Klee
This is in conjunction with the paving bond that we have already done and it is kind of part of the whole paving
program of the city?
Mr. Saunders
It’s separate from the paving program. | think we have $300,000 left over to do this program, but it is all part of
the paving umbrella.
Alderman Klee
Does it fall under the bond that we currently have or is this what was left over from the previous year? | just
want to know if this is additional money.
John Griffin, CFO
The specific answer is it is all part of the bonding program. There may be leftover funds from prior years for
future expenditures, but it is all part of that process.
Vice Chairman O’Brien
| did through social media see somebody who did comment that it puts squiggles all over the place, but if it
saves our roads and our infrastructure many years from having to be resurfaced and get to the pot holes, it is
well worth it. So, good job.
Alderwoman Kelly
Have we used them in the past? Do we know who we used in the past?
Mr. Saunders
Last year we also used Sealcoating, Inc.
