2024 Citywide Slurry Seal Project
Location: 18 street segments throughout the City of Sonoma. See Map.
Project Description:
A slurry seal is a preventive maintenance road treatment that involves the application of a mixture of water, asphalt emulsion, aggregate (very small crushed rock), and additives to an existing asphalt pavement surface. It helps protect streets from water penetration, provides a new surface with improved skid-resistance, and extends the life of the roadway.
A slurry seal is a surface treatment that extends the life of pavement and needs to be applied to a street before it begins to fail with potholes and broken surfaces. It is a cost-effective way to keep streets maintained.
The project generally involves street surface treatment (slurry seal) for up to eighteen (18) streets throughout the City. Specifically, the improvements consist of surface preparation; crack seal; removal and replacement of pavement striping and markings; public outreach; protection of existing utility structures, curb and gutter, and cross gutter; traffic control; and other related work.
Project Budget: The project amount is $294,950.00. This project is funded by Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account funds received from Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. No City General Fund proceeds are being used for this project.
