This presentation is from a host of Public Works Directors to inform communities how they can keep their roadways in good working order with reduced budgets available for maintaining them.

7. Crack Seal Process Description
1. Clean debris & organics
out of cracks
2. Extrude sealant material
into cracks
3. Dust with cement dust
to accelerate set time
11. Micro-Surfacing Process Description
1. Granite aggregate &
asphalt emulsion are
combined onsite.
2. The slurry is applied to
the existing asphalt in
one or two lifts.
12. Micro Surfacing Benefits
50% – 70% less $ than
conventional asphalt
overlay or mill & overlay.
Maintains existing
roadways at a higher
level of service.
16. Chip Seal Process Description
1. Apply a thick layer of
asphalt emulsion
2. Apply a layer of
granite aggregate
17. Chip Seal Benefits
Chip Sealing is the most
cost effective resurfacing
technique available.
When topped with fog
seal, Chip Seal takes
on the appearance
open grade asphalt.
20. Cold In-Place Recycling Process Description
1. Inject asphalt emulsion stabilizing agent while milling the existing asphalt.
2. Conveyor recycled material into a modified asphalt paver.
3. Lay the recycled material down at the appropriate cross-slope and elevation.
4. Pave over the recycled base course with conventional asphalt.
21. Cold In-Place Recycling Benefits
Much less $ than remove/replace. Removes entire cracking network.
Minimizes disruption to public. Adds significant structural integrity.
Reuses existing materials. Saves taxpayer dollars.
24. Full Depth Reclamation Process Description
1. Reclaim the asphalt and the
existing base material and add
appropriate stabilizing agent.
2. Grade & shape stabilized
base material to the proper
grades and elevations.
3. Compact the reclaimed base
material to achieve density.
4. Prime and pave the finished
base with asphalt.
25. Full Depth Reclamation Benefits
Half the cost of remove & replace. Removes entire cracking network.
Simplifies road widening projects. Adds significant structural integrity.
Reuses existing materials. Saves taxpayer dollars.
28. Procurement Methods…
A. Piggybacking
i. Get Multiple Piggyback Quotes – PROMOTE COMPETITION
ii. Make Sure All Items Being Piggybacked Were Competitively Bid
• Review the Original Bid Tabulation That Includes ALL Bidders
iii. Review Original Specifications
iv. Evaluate Your Agencies Piggyback Policy
v. Make Sure the Piggyback Contract is Recent and Larger
A. Competitively Bidding
i. Use Good Specifications
ii. Hold the Contractor to the Specifications
iii. Encourage Contractor Involvement at Pre-Bid to Reduce the
Possibility of a Protest
