INTERDEPARTMENTAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Ken Nordhoff, City Manager DATE: September 15, 2008
FROM: Steve Castaldo, Principal Civil Engineer FILE NO:
SUBJECT: Request for Authorization to Proceed to Remove Past Slurry Layers on
5 1 Street between Court Street and B Street and
A Street between 4th Street and 5th Street. (From the Italian Chalk Festival)
Public Works has been asked to remove all existing slurry within the limits above and 1 %"
asphalt pavement below the existing manholes and place back 1 '/Z" asphalt pavement. We have
received an estimate from the Street Resurfacing Contractor in the amount of $110,000 to
perform this work.
The Italian festival has been placing two coats of slurry per year for each year of its existence
(one smooth and one with aggregate). Because of this, the slurry has built up to 2" -2 '/2"+/ -
above the asphalt roadway. This buildup has caused the following problem.
1. There is now a pedestrian tripping hazard at the gutters and manholes.
2. The wheel paths do not have proper friction coefficients due to the aggregate settling in
the slurry.
Richard says that we have the funds to cover this work.
We recommend this work to proceed:
