Annual Street Preventative Maintenance

Prior to Construction

• City staff and/or consultants will drive the area assessing road conditions.
• City staff and/or consultants will start marking areas with pink spray-paint where patches will be preformed.

During Construction

• Patching will start and consist of milling small sections of bad pavement two inches deep and replace with new asphalt.
• Road will be prepped for the preservation treatment by installing "No-Parking" signs, removing existing pavement markings, and street sweeping.  
• Preservation treatment will be applied in two phases.
  • First, chip seal will be applied to the existing asphalt which takes about 1-2 hours. Road reopened once placement is done. 
    • Street sweeping will occur between treatments.
  • Second, micro-surfacing will be applied over the chip seal which takes about 2-3 hours, temperature dependent. Road reopened once completed and material has set.
    • Street sweeping is scheduled about 1-2  weeks post final treatment. This is intentional to allow vehicle traffic to assist in compacting and imbedding the aggregate into the micro-surface and create the seal that will protect the existing asphalt. 
• Pavement markings re-applied. 
• Project area clean up and final street sweeping. 

Neighborhood Construction Impacts

• Loose stone is normal and it is recommended to drive slow to not damage the pavement.
• Mail delivery will be maintained. 
• Trash, Recycling, and Compost binds are required to be clearly marked with your address and placed in the lawn extension (not in the road) the night before your scheduled collection day to accommodate construction. 
• Vehicle access will be periodically delayed during construction. If your vehicle is needed park legally, on an adjacent street, outside of the construction area during working hours. 
• Door notices will be provided in advance of chip seal and micro-surfacing operations. 

Preventative treatments are applied to asphalt roads in fairly good condition and over the existing asphalt. 

Cape Seal

Two-step process consisting of Chip Sealing followed by Micro-Surfacing (does not happen on the same day).

Step 1: Chip seal consists of applying a thin layer of liquid asphalt over existing pavement to fill the cracks and voids followed by a layer of aggregate (chips). A rubber-tired roller is used to compact and embed the chips into the liquid asphalt. Process typically takes 1-2 hours.

Step 2: Micro-Surfacing typically happens 1 to 14 days after the chip seal has been applied and consists of applying one to two courses of a cold mixture of asphalt, fine aggregates, cement, water and other additives over the chip seal or existing asphalt. Typical thickness is 3/8 to 1/2 inch. Process typically takes 2-3 hours, temperature dependent. 

Crack Seal

Consists of filling and sealing existing cracks typically in asphalt pavement with hot-rubberized asphalt.
