Project No.: 0672-6U2153
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated project cost is $1,000,000. This project is funded by Proposition 42 Funds (100%).
BACKGROUND:
Slurry Seal and Cape Seal are surface treatments that Contra Costa County (County) applies to selected roads each year. Both surface treatments extend the life of the existing pavement by providing a membrane to the roadway surface to prevent water from seeping under the pavement that could rapidly deteriorate the road.
The project consists of cleaning the road surface (including weed removal and sweeping), removing existing striping and markers, applying a slurry seal and/or cape seal treatment to roadways, restriping, and site cleanup in various locations throughout the unincorporated areas of the County.
Residential streets will be closed for approximately half a day in order to apply the surface treatments and to provide sufficient time for it to adhere to the road surface. Residents will be notified one week prior to any activity and “No Parking” signs will be posted the day before actual application. Emergency vehicle access will be allowed at all times. Real property transactions, including right-of-way acquisition, may be necessary in support of this project. Tree branches and shrubbery may need trimming throughout the project.
Location: The project is located within 5 site areas of unincorporated Contra Costa County (County) which will receive slurry seal and/or cape seal road surface treatments; Site 1 is located in the unincorporated community of Alamo on Danville Boulevard; Site 2 is located in the unincorporated area of El Sobrante (Olinda Rd./Castro Ranch Rd. area) near San Pablo Dam Rd.; Site 3 is located in the unincorporated area of El Sobrante near Appian Way; Site 4 is located in the unincorporated area of San Pablo (N. Arlington/Hillcrest Rd. area); and, Site 5 is located in the unincorporated areas of Pinole and San Pablo (Bay View and Tara Hills area).
There is no possibility that the project may have a significant adverse effect on the environment. The project consists of the operation, repair, and maintenance of existing facilities involving no expansion of use beyond that previously existing, pursuant to Section 15301(c) of the CEQA Guidelines. The project will not result in the removal of any scenic resource.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in approving the project will result in a delay of design and construction and may jeopardize funding.
