Torres C. 2 To:Board of Supervisors From:Julia R. Bueren, Public Works Director/Chief Engineer Date:September 24, 2013 Contra Costa County Subject:APPROVE the 2014 Road Surface Treatment Projects and CONSIDER related actions under the California Environmental Quality Act. (Dist. I, II, III & IV) BACKGROUND: Contra Costa County (County) applies road surface treatment to selected unincorporated roadways each year to extend the life of the existing pavement. The projects consist of applying various road surface treatments to selected unincorporated County roadways to prevent water from seeping under the pavement in order to extend pavement life. CEQA is for the three projects listed below. All three projects consist of road surface preparation including crack sealing, pavement grinding, removal of pavement striping and markings, pavement and base failure repair, weed removal, cleaning and sweeping roadway surfaces, applying surface treatments on the selected roadways, thermoplastic striping, and site cleanup. 1) 2014 Asphalt Rubber Cape Seal, Project No. 0672-6U2150 (Discovery Bay area) / [approximately 208,590 square yards]: The Project consists of applying an asphalt rubber cape seal road surface treatment to selected roadways in the Discovery Bay area to extend pavement life. 2) 2014 Micro-Surface, Project No. 0672-6U2151 (Kensington and various unincorporated locations: portions of North Richmond-Richmond Parkway, Walnut Creek-Treat Blvd., and Alamo-Danville Blvd. areas) / [approximately 240,148 square yards total]: The Project consists of applying a quick setting micro-surface pavement treatment to selected roadways to extend pavement life by weatherproofing and delaying oxidation, restoring surface texture, providing a skid-resistant wearing surface, and correcting minor surface profile irregularities. 3) 2014 Slurry Seal/Cape Seal, Project No. 0672-6U2152 (Walnut Creek and Discovery Bay areas) / [approximately 242,637 square yards total]: The Project consists of applying slurry seal and cape seal surface treatments to selected roadways to extend the life of the existing pavement and prevent water from seeping under the pavement that could rapidly deteriorate the road. All three projects 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. No tree removal will be necessary. Tree and shrubbery trimming may be necessary throughout the project areas. In order to minimize damage to trees, any roots exposed during construction activities will be clean cut. Herbicides may be sprayed to remove weeds growing on the edge of pavement. Although some of the roadways (Discovery Bay area) slated for surface treatment fall within the East Contra Costa County Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) Service Area, all work will occur within existing paved roadways classified by the HCP as “urban” Land Cover Type. This Land Cover Type is not subject to HCP conditions or fees. Residential streets will be closed for approximately half a day in order to apply road surface treatments and to provide sufficient time for it to adhere to the road surface. Residents will be notified prior to any construction activities. “No Parking” signs will be posted the day before the actual road surface treatment application. Emergency vehicles will have access at all times. Utility adjustments may be necessary in support of the projects. Although unlikely, real property transactions, including right-of-way may be necessary in support of the projects. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Delay in approving the projects will result in a delay of design and construction and may jeopardize funding. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: Not applicable.
