EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Alameda (City) maintains over 144 centerline miles of roadway providing access and circulation to every resident and business in the City. The City’s Pavement Management Program, in combination with the City’s Maintenance Service Center, works to maintain this network through a combination of maintenance and rehabilitation activities including an annual capital project. The 2022-23 pavement management program, phase 41, included pavement overlays, slurry sealing and crack sealing for approximately 5.5 miles of roadway. The improvements executed under the subject contract are complete and acceptable to staff. Staff recommends that City Council accept the work.
BACKGROUND
The City’s pavement management program, in combination with the City’s Maintenance Service Center, works to maintain the street network through a combination of maintenance and rehabilitation activities including an annual capital project.
Each year, the capital project focuses on one of the three planning zones throughout the City, rotating from the west zone (west of Grand Street), to the central zone (between Grand Street and High Street), and to the Bay Farm Island zone (east high of High Street), and then back to the west zone.
The 2022-23 pavement management program, phase 41, project is located in the west zone and includes both preventive maintenance treatments (namely slurry sealing and crack sealing) and roadway rehabilitation treatments (overlays and full depth reclamation).
Preventive maintenance treatments on this project include crack sealing and slurry sealing. These treatments are applied to the surface of the roadway to seal the surface and prevent water intrusion, thus prolonging the useful life of the roadway for an additional five to seven years until another surface seal can be applied or the roadway is rehabilitated.
DISCUSSION
On July 12, 2022, City Council awarded a contract in the amount of $4,974,938, including contingency, to McGuire & Hester, for pavement overlays, slurry sealing and crack sealing for approximately 5.5 miles of roadway.
The project was completed in accordance with the plans and specifications and is acceptable to the Public Works Department. The final cost, including all change orders, is $4,175,887.09.
ALTERNATIVES
• Accept the work of McGuire and Hester as presented by staff.
• Do not accept the work and give staff alternate instructions.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Pavement Management is a recurring rehabilitation project in the Capital Budget and any unspent funds from one budget cycle may be available during the next budget cycle. The funds for this project are budgeted in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP No. C11000). The project is funded with monies allocated from the Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Fund (Fund 212), Measure B and BB Local Streets and Roads Fund (Fund 230 and 231), Waste Fund (Fund 262), Vehicle Registration Fund (Fund 213) and Sewer Services Fund (Fund 501).
MUNICIPAL CODE/POLICY DOCUMENT CROSS REFERENCE
This action is consistent with the Alameda Municipal Code.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
In accordance with CEQA, this action is categorically exempt from further environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 (Existing Facilities).
CLIMATE IMPACTS
This project is consistent with the Climate Action and Resiliency Plan and the Alameda Municipal Code by requiring a 95% recycling rate for asphalt and concrete and 65% for all other construction and demolition debris. In addition, since vehicle miles traveled is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in Alameda, City staff expects that this project will have a positive climate impact. Better-maintained streets, refreshed striping and reconstructed curb ramps make it safer and more convenient to ride a bicycle, use the bus and walk and to reduce congestion and idling motor vehicles.

Accept the Work of McGuire & Hester, for the 2022-23 Pavement Management Project, Phase 41, No. P.W. 05-22-16.
