Bueren, Public Works Date:September 11, 2012 Contra Costa County Subject:APPROVE the 2013 Kensington Area Microsurfacing Project& make related findings under CEQA, Kensington area. (100% Local Road Funds) (District I) BACKGROUND: The purpose of the project is to apply a micro-surface treatment to selected streets (approximately 92,115 square yards) to extend their pavement life. The micro-surface pavement seal is a polymer-modified, quick setting, cold slurry paving treatment that will extend the pavement life of the roadway and defer more expensive repairs by weatherproofing and delaying oxidation, restoring surface texture, providing a skid-resistant wearing surface, and correcting minor surface profile irregularities. The selected streets scheduled to receive micro-surface treatment are, but not limited to: portions of Arlington Avenue, Eureka Avenue, Franciscan Way, Sunset Drive, Lost Altos Drive, Beloit Avenue, Arlington Lane, Anson Way, Highgate Road, Norwood Avenue, Arlington Court, Jessen Court, Edwin Drive, Kerr Avenue, Rincon Road, Cowper Avenue, Lawson Road, Highland Boulevard, Kenilworth Drive, Norwood Court, Kensington Road, Kensington Court, Arlmont Drive, Marguerita Road, Arlington Boulevard, and Lam Court. The project consists of road surface preparation, base failure repair, weed removal, cleaning & sweeping roadway surfaces, application of a micro-surface treatment and thermoplastic striping on the roadway, and site cleanup. The project will maintain the existing drainage pattern and will not create new impervious areas. Appropriate Best Management Practices (BMPs) will be implemented to protect storm drain inlets. Utility relocations or adjustments may be necessary in support of the project. No tree removal will be necessary. Tree and shrubbery trimming may occur throughout the project area. In order to minimize damage to trees, any roots exposed during construction activities will be clean cut. Construction activities for the Project are planned for 2013. Residents will be notified prior to any construction activities. One lane will remain open during construction activities to maintain general access. Emergency vehicles will have access at all times. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Delay in approving the project will result in a delay of design and construction and may jeopardize funding. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: Not applicable.
