SUMMARY:
The City of Clearwater annual street resurfacing program is designed to prevent deterioration of roadway wearing surfaces. The process of resurfacing includes milling the roadway and replacing with an asphalt overlay. This provides a protective coating and maintains the integrity of a roadway’s substructure. Resurfacing allows for an improved ride and safer roads for residents and visitors of the city.
Streets that are scheduled for resurfacing in this contract were identified using the City’s pavement management consultants, citizen requests, and staff observations. Roadways were included in the scope by virtue of an inspection and prioritization process performed by Engineering staff.
Preferred Materials Inc. was the lowest responsible bid received in accordance with plans and specifications of four bids submitted ranging from $2,296,132.30 to $2,863,563.74.
Areas in the 2019 Roadway Resurfacing Project include Morningside Estates and Del Oro Groves. Additional areas may be added if adequate funding is available.
