Resolution 2023-33 - Agreement with Pavement Technologies, Inc. for Use of Reclamite Asphalt Rejuvenation Slurry on a Trial Basis

Background

The Public Works Department publicly opened bids for an on-call use of Reclamite Asphalt Rejuvenation slurry on Thursday, January 19th. Pavement Technology, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio was the only bidder.

The City of Brentwood has not historically performed any asphalt rejuvenation projects. Studies show that the useful life of an asphalt road can be extended by 5 to 10 additional years through the use of asphalt rejuvenation products. Reclamite is one such product that has proven results not only locally but throughout the country.

Asphalt is typically made from approximately 94% aggregate and 6% bitumen emulsion petroleum products called maltenes. The production of hot asphalt can cause as much as 25-40% of the emulsion to be cooked off before the asphalt is even laid. The loss of emulsion can cause asphalt to begin deteriorating immediately after is it finished. In addition, UV light exposure and water are other common deterioration elements. The use of Reclamite Rejuvenation Slurry can restore much of the lost maltene-based emulsion and help seal the porosity of the roadway preventing water penetration and UV light deterioration, while restoring the pavement flexibility. It acts essentially like sunscreen.

Although this is Brentwood's first experience using Reclamite or any asphalt rejuvenator, staff is comfortable contracting with Pavement Technology, Inc. because of the local reputation they have fostered with communities like Franklin, Forest Hills, Hendersonville, Mt. Juliet, and Columbia. It is apparent that their team understands how important this project can be in regard to resident satisfaction. Pavement Technology is a full service company handling everything from resident notification, to product application, to clean-up of the aggregate material used to suppress product tracking.

As part of this trial use, we will be looking to rejuvenate select streets that have been resurfaced in the past 3 years.
