Council awards pavement maintenance contracts for seal coat and reclamite projects
Summary
Council accepted low quotes and awarded two pavement maintenance contracts—Pearson Brothers for crack‑fill/seal coat and Corrective Asphalt for reclamite—after staff recommended splitting the work into two packages; council confirmed escrows cover developer areas.
The Minnetrista City Council voted to accept quotes and award contracts for this year’s pavement‑maintenance program at its May 20 meeting.
Engineering staff explained the work was bid as two separate quote packages: one for citywide crack‑fill and seal coat and a second for reclamite (a rejuvenator product) and localized reclamation. Three firms responded to each package; Pearson Brothers submitted the low quote for the crack‑fill and seal‑coat package, and Corrective Asphalt was the low bidder for the reclamite work. Engineering and Public Works recommended awarding each contract to the respective low bidder and noted both firms have satisfactory prior performance.
Public Works explained reclamite is a surface rejuvenator that penetrates asphalt, replenishes binder and helps keep pavements flexible to delay cracking. Council members asked whether escrow accounts for subdivisions (notably Woodland Cove) cover the work; staff confirmed escrows are structured to match targeted street work under existing development agreements.
Council approved a motion to accept the quotes and award contracts (voice vote). Staff said the contracts are under the engineer’s estimated costs for the project and will proceed per the procurement and project schedule.
