CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For Council Meeting ofSeptember18, 1990 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: John C. Hutton, Public Works Director SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED WITH FY 90/91 STREET REHABILITATION/MAINTENANCE PROJECT Date : September 12, 1990 BACKGROUND As part of this fiscal year's proposed street rehabilitation program, staff has reviewed more particularly, the need of each street within the program by the condition of the roadway and what type of treatment is necessary to provide optimum benefit and durability. STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The current contract, of which was approved in FY 89/90 and held within it the ability to extend the contract, thus holding asphalt prices directly related to oil prices at bay, is a major advantage to the City; oil prices have risen dramatically. The disadvantage is that the previous year's contract did not include the ability to provide the process known as "heater remixing" the existing asphalt. This is a process used to regenerate the existing asphalt and bind it to the new asphalt layer. ALTERNATIVES The cost, although not included in the original contract, has been submitted by the contractor, reviewed by staff, and found to be much more reasonable to add as an additional service to the existing contract than would be to rebid the entire project and be faced with a 40 to 50 percent asphalt price increase due to oil price increases over the last five months. FINANCIAL IMPACT ine neater remix process is needed for several of the streets within the proposed projects in order to provide maximum benefit to those streets. This process would be in the new contract if rebid and within 4.to 5 percent t the cost proposal submitted. This process is proposed for six out of the thirteen streets being rehabilitated and, compared to the 40 to 50 percent increase that would be prevalent to the increased asphalt costs, would be of no measurable financial impact compared to the asphalt cost increases.
