Title
Pavement Rejuvenator - Proposals
History
As we continue to evaluate and implement technologies to extend and preserve the life of roadway surfaces, the Village utilizes pavement rejuvenator evaluation areas to help identify the right rejuvenator brand/process to use for a particular road. By continually evaluating techniques and products, the Village will employ a variety of methods with cost effective practices for pavement preservation.
Asphalt pavement treatments, when properly applied have the potential to extend the life of an asphalt roadway for several years beyond the point where rehabilitation, or major reconstruction would normally be required; thus significantly decreasing the pavement’s annual maintenance costs.
Numerous studies have been completed over the years that demonstrate that the proper application of pavement rejuvenator products can extend the life of road surfaces. Pavement rejuvenators are applied to paved asphalt streets to seal the pavement surface, and restore and 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 completed by, Applied Research Associates (ARA). Working with ARA, staff has identified sections of two neighborhoods as ideal candidates for these treatments: Heritage Estates and the Ishnala Subdivision. Public Works staff requested and received proposals/estimates for two types of pavement rejuvenator products.
In incorporating pavement rejuvenation into the ongoing road maintenance program, Public Works staff identified two pavement rejuvenation products to consider. Both were used last year in the Sterling Ridge Subdivision for side-by-side comparison and evaluation. As staff continues to evaluate each of these applications, we recommend utilizing both rejuvenatiors. Depending on the type or condition of a road, one may be used over th...
