25 lane miles of city streets will see asphalt improvements after a move by the Tyler City Council on Wednesday.

From Staff Reports

Eighty lane miles of city streets will see asphalt improvements next year after a move by the Tyler City Council on Wednesday.

The council voted to approve a $429,919 contract with Morton Enterprise to provide asphalt crack sealing for the streets identified for seal coating and resurfacing in 2023. Asphalt repairs are prioritized according to the pavement condition index scores and staff evaluations of the city’s streets.

The 2023 asphalt enhancement project includes 80 lane miles of city streets.

The crack seal project is scheduled to begin in January and continue through May. Crack seal work is done prior to overlaying or resurfacing a street.

“We crack seal streets in advance of any overlay or seal coat work,” City Engineer Darin Jennings said. “We do this work in the winter because it seals the streets for extreme weather and for the additional surface treatments we do later. Crack sealing repairs the cracks in the streets prior to any overlay work so, cracks don’t reappear and water doesn’t get to the base layer of the road.”

About half of the crack seal project is funded through the Half-Cent Sales Tax Program. The other half of the funding is from the General Fund.

Also at Wednesday’s meeting, the council approved contracts for sewer line rehabilitation and capacity upgrades.

The council voted unanimously to execute three contracts for sanitary sewer system rehabilitation projects associated with the consent decree.

A $1,492,750.20 contract with Southern Trenchless Solutions was approved for the rehabilitation and repair of 242 sanitary sewer manholes and 171 sanitary sewer cleanouts.

Additionally, the council approved an $807,219 contract with Reynolds & Kay, LTD to repair four creek crossings and seven sanitary sewer line point repairs with new sewer lines, manholes and appurtenances.

Finally, the city council approved an $8,408,500 contract with KSA Engineers, Inc. for the design of two sewer line projects to increase capacity in 5.3 miles of sewer line in the collection system. The Hydraulic Model of the City of Tyler’s Sanitary Sewer Collection System performed by Pipeline Analysis and LNV, LLC identified these undersized sewer collection lines as capacity constraints.

“This is the largest project we have undertaken in the consent decree,” said Chris Aylor, Project Engineer of KSA Engineers, Inc. “The timelines are also very large. The end of these projects is near the end of when the consent decree work must be done.”

A 16,917-foot sewer line that runs from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to Bryan Street through Downtown and the Delek refinery on McMurrey Drive was identified as needing capacity upgrades. This project identifies 67 tracts that may require an easement. The project timeline is scheduled to begin in December 2022 and be completed in April 2026.

Another 11,261-foot segment of sewer line was also identified as having capacity constraints. The line runs south of the Delek refinery on McMurrey Drive, to Shaw Street, through Midtown and the Charnwood District. About 27 tracts that may require an easement were identified. Work is scheduled to begin in December 2022 and scheduled to be completed in July 2026.

These projects are funded with water utility bonds.
