RESOLUTION NO. R05-67: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN A
CONTRACT WITH JTL GROUP, INC. OF BILLINGS TO PERFORM SEAL AND COVER
WORK WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF LAUREL.
Public Works Director Steve Klotz explained that JTL is scheduled to complete the seal and cover of
the pavement preservation project on First Avenue on Monday, July 11th. This resolution authorizes
the Mayor to sign an agreement with JTL to do some seal and cover work for the city on the
following streets: the 200 block of Second Street West; 5th Avenue from Main Street to West
Railroad Street; Hazel Avenue from Main Street to East 6t~ Street; Alder Avenue from Main Street
to East 7th Street; West 6th Street from 1st Avenue to 2na Avenue; South 8th Avenue from West
Railroad to South 6th Street; and the city parking lot on the east side of 1st Avenue between 7th and
8th Streets.
The 200 block of Second Street West is the street right behind the FAP building. On 5th Avenue
from Main Street to West Railroad, we need to stay about 25 feet from either side of the railroad
tracks or it would be necessary to buy railroad insurance. That portion of the road will cost about
$3,000 of the total work. The insurance to go closer than 25 feet would be about $2,000, so the seal
and cover will stop about 25 feet back from the track. On Hazel Avenue, the city put in an
experiment with our millings about three years ago. It has held up pretty: well, so a seal and cover
will be done on that one block. East Sixth Street is the post office project which was completed last
fall. The Alder Avenue project was completed and repaved last fall and needs to be sealed. It is a
spill out design so it gets quite a bit of water on it, which adds to the reasons to get that street sealed
and covered. South Eighth Street, from Railroad Street to the city limits next to the pond, was
recently paved with a coUnty job. The millings from the First Avenue project were used to fill the
parking lot next to the pool. The parking lot was rolled and now needs a seal and cover on it. The
public works department wants to do that and see what kind ora product it provides for future use of
millings.
Steve gave an explanation of the total cost of the project. The work will be performed at $1.00 per
square yard with a mobilization cost of $1,500 and traffic control of $1,000. The planned area for
the seal and cover is 18,808 square yards. The city would pay JTL $18,808 plus the $2,500 for
mobilization and traffic control; which is $21,308. The resolution authorizes work up to $23,189
with a 10 percent overrun on the square yards in case there are changes. The city will sweep it with
our sweeper on Monday while JTL does the seal and cover on First Avenue, and then the city will
pick the sweepings up in a week or so with our equipment following the project.
