CIP8143 - Covell Pavement Rehab - Anderson to Sycamore

Location: W. Covell Eastbound between Anderson and Sycamore Covell Pavement Rehab - Anderson to Sycamore
Status: Archived
Type: Transportation
Approved Budget:
Project Manager: Terry Jue : tjue@ci.davis.ca.us
Design Consultant: Blackburn Consulting/Ponticello
Construction Contractor: AC General Engineering, Inc., Sacramento
Description: The eastbound lanes of Covell Boulevard between Sycamore and Anderson have experienced severe subsidence, especially in the past few years. The temporary asphalt patching the City has done has continued to subside. The City has hired Blackburn Consulting/Ponticello Engineers to conduct subsurface soils tests and recommend to the City some remediation options for this problem. Blackburn/Ponticello are experienced at "forensic" investigations for subsurface and soils problems. The initial thought is that an old sewer line trench (approximately 20 feet deep) is settling and may have to be dug up and recompacted.
Additional Info: The project includes reconstruction of the Roundabout intersection at Anderson Road and Alvarado Avenue. The roundabout improvements will be the first order of work and is anticipated to be shutdown for about a week. The roundabout will be improved and re-opened for traffic before any work begins on Covell Blvd.
Last Update: Monday Jul. 7, 2008

  • Friday September 28, 2007
    Eastbound Covell NOW OPEN to traffic. City crews finished striping around 2 p.m. and helped pull some cones and barricades to open the street to traffic. AC General arrived to remove the remainder of the traffic controls along the detour routes.
  • Wednesday September 19, 2007
    The new water main has finally passed disinfection and AC General will pave the roadway the week of September 24. We anticipate Covell will be reopened the week of October 1.
  • Wednesday September 5, 2007
    AC General and Western Stabilization completed the lime treatment portion of the job last week. See the Pictures section for photos and descriptions of the work. This week, AC General will install rock subgrade in the roadway and the vertical curb in the landscaped median.
  • Thursday August 23, 2007
    AC General has made steady progress on the job with installation of the water line completed and gutting of the top 24" of AC and AB this week. Next week, AC General's subcontractor, Western Stabilization, will start the lime treatment of the soil down another 4 feet. This process will take 4-5 days. For the week of 9/3, AC will install road rock and the median curb and then pave the week of 9/10.
  • Thursday August 2, 2007
    STATUS: The Anderson/Alvarado Roundabout will be re-opened this afternoon (Thursday, 8/2). UPDATED SCHEDULE: AC General will start work on the water main on Monday, 8/6, in the intersection of Sycamore and Covell. PLEASE NOTE: southbound, northbound, and some turning movements will be restricted on Sycamore during this effort. The Sycamore/Covell intersection work is expected to take 1-2 days. See construction photos added in pictures section.
  • Wednesday July 18, 2007
    UPDATED SCHEDULE: The Anderson/Alvarado Roundabout will be closed for construction the week of July 23. The work is expected to take about a week. Work on Covell Blvd. will start the week of July 30 after the roundabout is reopened to traffic.
  • Wednesday July 11, 2007
    On 6/26, the City Council awarded the job to AC General Engineering, Inc. out of Sacramento. A pre-construction meeting will be held soon. Public notice added in Attachments.
  • Thursday June 7, 2007
    Project is currently out to bid with a bid opening on June 19.
  • Thursday January 12, 2006
    The consultants analysis is complete. The design for the plans and specifications will more than likely take 4-6 months, which will probably not be in time for the 2006 construction season. Construction will more than likely happen in summer of 2007. It has not been decided yet if the plans and specifications will be done by a consulting engineer, or in-house.
  • Friday December 9, 2005
    The consultants analysis is complete. Design will begin in January and construction is scheduled for Summer of 2006 or 2007. The construction will involve digging out approximately 5 feet of material in the vicinity of the depressed areas and replacing it with strengthened material and a reinforcing mat. In addition, a water mainwill be installed to complete a connection that is needed from Anderson to Sycamore. Traffic will more than likely be routed to the north side of the median. There will be disruptions and delays at both signals for most of the summer during construction.
  • Friday September 16, 2005
    Blackburn consulting is doing subsurface investigations and is currently analyzing data to come up with a plan of action for remediation of the uneven pavement.
