Title
Pavement Rejuvenator Application - 2019 Road Maintenance Program- Proposal
History
Pavement rejuvenators are applied to recently-paved asphalt streets to penetrate the pavement surface and restore/preserve original asphalt properties. Pavement rejuvenator applications are applied prior to visible failures in the street. These preventative treatments have also been recommended as part of the pavement management study by Applied Research Associates (ARA). Working with ARA, staff has identified portions of the Fernway subdivision, Wheeler Drive and Eagle Ridge subdivision for rejuvenator application in 2019.
Public Works staff requested and received proposals/estimates for the application of three different types of pavement rejuvenator.
Reclamite® rejuvenator is one of the most popular rejuvenators used in the Chicago area. The Reclamite® brand is sold and applied by Corrective Asphalt Materials Inc. from South Roxana, Illinois. Reclamite® is a petroleum-based emulsion applied by spray truck. The pavement is then covered with a thin layer of sand to prevent vehicle tracking. The street is swept the following day to remove any loose sand. The contractor also provides all traffic control and resident notification. The cost of this product is $0.92 per square yard or $35,361.50 for the intended coverage area (~38,700 sq. yds.) in the three aforementioned locations.
The Biorestor® rejuvenator product would be applied by Denler, Inc. from Joliet, Illinois. This product is made from bio-based 100% agricultural oils and is also applied by spray but does not require a sand surface topping. Instead, vehicular traffic is prohibited for approximately two hours following application. The cost of this product is $1.06 per square yard or $36,501.00 for the intended coverage area (~38,700 sq. yds.) in the three aforementioned locations.
A product new to the market in 2017, Replay® is a bio-based material made from soybean and other domestic agricultural oils. Rep...
