BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Capital Project 825290 (Pavement Rehabilitation) provides for ongoing roadway infrastructure rehabilitation, with the goal of accelerating street repairs to return the average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of City streets to a level of 80+. Each year the Public Works Pavement Operations staff surveys one half of the City's streets and inputs the data in the City's pavement management system. The system produces a list of deteriorated streets and plans are made to repair, slurry seal, double chip seal, overlay, or reconstruct the streets as needed. Fremont Avenue was identified by the system as a priority for rehabilitation.
The work scope for this project will include pavement preparation, asphalt grinding, and dig outs, followed by asphalt rubberized hot mix overlay on the street. Also included is minor concrete work, crack sealing, striping and adjusting utility boxes to grade. The location of work includes Fremont Avenue between Belleville Way and Hollenbeck Avenue and also from Sunnyvale-Saratoga Road to Wolfe Road.
