FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: July 11, 1995
SUBJECT: Authorize Issuance of Purchase Order to Universal Sweeping Services for the 1995 Chip Seal
Program
Project No.: 0672-6U2187, -6U2188, -6U2189, -6U2191
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATIONS)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
Authorize the issuance of a purchase order in the amount of$67,071 to Universal Sweeping Services of San
Jose, CA for sweeping services required for the 1995 chip seal program.
H. Financial Impact:
Road funds in the amount of$67,071 are available for this planned activity.
M. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
The placement of rock chip seal to resurface County roads is a long established routine maintenance practice.
In order to assure complete coverage of asphalt applied to the old road surface, excess rock chips are
distributed and must be removed by sweeping. It is not economical for the Public Works Department to own
and operate the number of sweepers necessary to support the chip seal program. Sweeping service has
historically been procured by purchase order.
