Project Justification:
As part of an overall pavement maintenance strategy, these roads are programmed for chip seal on a 7-year cycle. This is cycle 4 of the 7 year cycle program.
Scope of Work:
1. Removing thermoplastic striping, pavement markings, and pavement markers.
2. Repairing all structural failure areas with full depth 0.5 feet of Hot Mix Asphalt (Type A).
3. Placing Chip Seal on existing pavement.
4. Adjusting Survey Monument frames and covers.
Environmental Setting:
In these portions of the San Joaquin County, land usage varies, though primarily rural with single family homes.
There are many large trees adjacent to the project area. Nesting and migratory birds, protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, may nest within these trees. Furthermore, the Swainson’s Hawk, a raptor species of concern within the State of California and listed as threatened may nest adjacent to or within the project area. A pre-construction survey for nesting Swainson’s Hawks and other migratory birds is recommended if construction is scheduled to occur from February 15th to September 1st.
Beneficiaries:
The public will see increased safety and fewer hazards with these well-maintained roads. Overall, there will be reduced maintenance concerns and more reliability within the project areas.
