SUMMARY:

 

Resources and Development Management Department (RDMD) requests approval of plans and special provisions for asphalt overlay resurfacing of various streets in Orange County; and approval and execution of Agreement D06-111 with the City of La Mirada for resurfacing Ashgrove Avenue and Stanton Avenue.

 

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

As part of the annual Special Maintenance Program,  Resources and Development Management Department (RDMD) proposes to resurface with asphalt concrete various unincorporated local, collector, and arterial streets throughout the unincorporated islands in the Anaheim, Buena Park, El Modena, Garden Grove, Olive Heights, Orange Park Acres, and Yorba Linda areas.  Streets and highways were selected from a priority list generated from the Orange County Pavement Management System (OCPMS) database which assists RDMD to set priorities using unique data for each street (field evaluations, average daily traffic, and maintenance costs).  Streets are typically in need of a resealing on 7-year intervals and resurfacing on 21-year intervals.  .

 

Prior to the overlay, access ramps will be reconstructed to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, deteriorated pavement will be removed and replaced, and cracks will be filled.  Following the overlay, surface utility features (manholes, water valves, etc.) will be raised to the new pavement grade and earthen shoulders will be reshaped to eliminate a "drop-off" at the edge of the pavement.  The rubberized asphalt designated for this project consists of ground tire rubber added to the asphalt mix, a recycling process that contributes to a decrease of tires within landfills.

 

The County has been in contact with the Cities of Anaheim, Buena Park, Orange, and La Mirada and cooperative agreements have been drawn to complete work within the Cities on streets where the City and the County share a common boundary.  Coordinating the asphalt overlay of streets and highways provides continuity across jurisdictional lines and is beneficial to each agency and the public.

 

During construction, arterial highways will be reduced to one lane of travel for brief periods as required by the contractor.  These temporary closures may occur over a period of 4 to 6 hours and will only be permitted during designated working hours as described in the Traffic and Access section of the special provisions.  All ingress and egress access will be closed for short periods during the paving operation, but will be opened at the close of the work day.  Local school bus activity (if any) will be maintained during the morning and afternoon routes according to working hour restrictions, and community and regional bus services will be notified regarding construction activity to address setting temporary bus stops off site, if required.  Aside from the brief closures, the road will be fully functional throughout the road construction period.

 

The funding source for this project is Proposition 42 which was passed by voters in 2002 and amends the state constitution to dedicate sales tax on gasoline to cities and counties for maintenance projects. A copy of the Plans and Special Provisions is on file at the office of the Clerk of the Board.

 

The Engineer's Estimate:  $1,820,715

 

Reimbursement through Agreement D06-111 from the City of La Mirada: $218,300

 

COMPLIANCE WITH CEQA:  The subject project is categorically exempt (Class 1) from the provisions of CEQA pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines.
