Hayward $19 Million FY 2016 – Pavement Maintenance & Rehabilitation Project (Finalist)

PROJECT: Hayward $19 Million FY 2016 – Pavement Maintenance & Rehabilitation Project GOAL: Sustainability The City of Hayward Department of Public Works has been implementing sustainable pavement treatments over the past few years. DESCRIPTION The $19 Million FY 2016 – Pavement Maintenance & Rehabilitation Project (Project) includes Preventative Maintenance Program and Rehabilitation Program. Project is complete. PCI increased to 70 from 66. In-house staff managed Project design and construction. Typical annual budget is $6 Million but a one-time Measure C funds provided additional funds. Project is a leading example of Hayward’s Efficient and Sustainable Road Maintenance, Construction, and Reconstruction Project. The Project made pavement improvements to over 330 street segments at various locations in Hayward. The scope of the preventative maintenance program included about 220 street segments and about 849,934 SY of pavement. The scope of pavement reconstruction & rehabilitation program included about 110 street segments and about 821,634 SY of pavement. Proposed improvements are consistent with the Hayward’s adopted Complete Streets Policy that ensures consideration be given to all users and all modes of transportation on public roadways. SUSTAINABILITY Consistent with Hayward City Council’s objectives in the use of environmentally friendly products and reduction of carbon footprint for pavement construction, the recycling treatment methods have proven to reduce cost and time. In addition to the cost savings from not off-hauling a significant portion of the old asphalt concrete material, the reduced number of truck trips also reduces carbon footprint. The pavement methods chosen involve reusing most of the existing pavement material and are considered environmentally friendly. The Project utilized the following sustainable pavement treatments: Micro-surfacing, Cold-In-Place Recycling (CIR) with a hot mix asphalt overlay and Hot-In-Place Recycling (HIR) with a hot mix asphalt overlay. The recycling operations reduced energy consumption, resulted in reduced emissions, reduced landfill deposition, reduced construction duration, and contributed to community and environmental benefits. The recycling treatments provided benefits in many areas including but not limited to environmental, sustainability, structural section integrity, shorter construction time, safety, and cost effectiveness. COST The contract cost for construction was $17,600,000. The Project covers about 106 lane-miles of roadway out of a total 657 lane-miles. SUMMARY The Hayward’s $19 Million FY 2016 – Pavement Maintenance & Rehabilitation Project improved the overall quality of the local streets and the road network in a cost effective and environmentally friendly way. The City’s approach is a commitment to implementing sustainable projects that help address existing funding shortfalls and meet the objectives of AB 32 of reducing Green House Gas emissions.
