SUNNY DUNES STREET IMPROVEMENTS AND CAMINO REAL, INDIAN TRAIL &
ANDEE DRIVE ARHM OVERLAY
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve and adopt the plans, specifications and
working details, and authorize advertisement for construction bids for the Sunny Dunes
Street Improvements and Camino Real, Indian Trail & Andee Drive ARHM Overlay, City
Project 01-15.
SUMMARY:
Section 7.03.040 of the Procurement and Contracting Code requires that Council approve
and adopt plans, specifications and working details, and authorize the bid request for all
public projects in excess of$100,000. Approval of the project will allow staff to proceed with
this public project, with an estimated cost of$287,000.
BACKGROUND:
Each year, the Department assembles a capital project to continue its Slurry Seal Program
on various City streets. In some cases, certain streets require additional preventive
maintenance than a normal slurry seal can provide. In those cases, an overlay of asphalt
rubber hot mix (ARHM) material is used to seal larger cracks and overlay the entire street
to provide for its extended life. As an incentive to using ARHM overlays, the material
includes rubbergenerated from scrap tires, allowing the City to be environmentally-sensitive
in the use of recycled materials.
On August 7, 2002, the City Council awarded the Citywide ARHM Overlay Project, City
Project 02-01. Cost savings realized by that award left budgeted funds available for
additional ARHM overlay on other City streets identified by the Public Works&Engineering
Department for maintenance. With those savings, the Department proposes to install an
ARHM overlay on Camino Real, Indian Trail and Andee Drive. Additionally,the Department
had budgeted improvements to Sunny Dunes Road, between Calle Amigos and Sunrise
Way. This section of Sunny Dunes Road lacks curb and gutter along the north side of the
street, and has been a continuing maintenance burden on the Department due to constant
nuisance water eroding the pavement. This project will install the appropriate improvements
along Sunny Dunes Road to avoid the continual costs of street maintenance currently
incurred by the Department.
The ARHM overlay and street improvement plans and specifications have been prepared
by Department staff, and are ready for Council approval and the subsequent advertisement
for construction bids. Section 7.03.040 of the Procurement and Contracting Code requires
that for public projects in excess of $100,000 Council approve and adopt the plans,
specifications and working details, and authorize staff to advertise for construction bids.
This project has an overall cost of approximately $287,000.

Contracting Code. Following Council's approval of the plans and specifications, and
