FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: AUGUST 4, 2020
SUBJECT: APPROVAL FOR THE PURCHASE OF MICRO -SURFACING SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for the purchase of micro -surfacing
services from Intermountain Slurry Seal, Inc. for the Public Works
Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Street Maintenance Capital Replacement Fund
for an amount not to exceed $165,000.
BACKGROUND: This purchase will be used for micr -surfacing services for Main Street,
Camelot Drive, Warwick Way, Newcastle Drive, Sheffield Drive,
Manchester Lane, Kelsey Court and Roberts Road as shown in the
attached exhibit.
Micro -surfacing provides for a thin (3/8") layer of apshalt mixed with sand
aggregate. This treatment seals the existing pavement keeping water from
infiltrating cracks in the surface. The ability for surface water to get below
the pavement and into the subgrade is the principal mode of failure for all
pavements. This treatment is expected to extend the life of the roadway
from 5-7 years. This is the most cost effective paving treatment and is the
cornerstone of our proposed roadway capital improvement plan discussed
this spring.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing Interlocal
Cooperative Agreement with City of North Richland Hills, Texas as
allowed by Texas Local Government Code, Chapter 271 and Texas
Government Code, Chapter 791.
The City of North Richland Hills, Texas solicited bids for micro -surfacing
services from which they awarded a contract to Intermountain Slurry Seal,
Inc. The Public Works and Purchasing staff reviewed the contract for
specification compliance and determined that this contract would provide
the best product, service and pricing for meeting the needs of the City.
Staff recommends approval.
