City Council Study Session 07/13/2026

The Riverview City Council held a study session on July 13, 2026, which included a detailed presentation on a new pavement rehabilitation technology called jet patcher, proposed by Tristar and Stabtech. This technology aims to extend the life of roads by addressing joint failures and subgrade washouts more effectively than traditional cold patching. The council discussed the potential pilot program for Park East, with a fixed-price contract to be considered in a future meeting. The technology offers a one-year warranty and promises quicker repairs with less traffic disruption compared to full road reconstruction, which can cost between $370,000 and $550,000 per mile. The council also reviewed ongoing infrastructure projects, including joint sealing with a $150,000 budget allocation and upcoming bids for landfill cover work. No formal contract awards were made during this session, but the council expressed interest in pursuing the jet patcher technology as a pilot program pending further evaluation.
