Council approves Hennessey Engineers contract for PASER data and TAMP update at up to $12,000
Summary
The council approved a contract not to exceed $12,000 with Hennessey (Hennessey/Hennessy) Engineers to collect 2025 PASER road-condition data and prepare a Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP); staff said the results will update the city's 10‑year road plan and a draft is expected in January.
The Lincoln Park City Council voted Aug. 5 to authorize Hennessey Engineers to perform 2025 PASER (Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating) data collection and to prepare a Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP) for the city’s local and major streets.
City staff said the project cost will not exceed $12,000 and that funds will be charged to the city’s major and local road surface maintenance accounts (account numbers 202‑464‑821000 and 203‑464‑821000). The staff memo said the work will update the city’s 10‑year road plan, which was compiled about 10 years ago and needs reevaluation against current conditions.
Council members asked how the updated PASER/TAMP will affect the existing 10‑year plan. A city representative said the PASER evaluation will adjust the plan based on current road conditions: roads listed for repairs in prior plans may move earlier or later on the priority list depending on condition assessments.
“A next proposed 10‑year plan will be coming back approximately January,” one staff member said during the meeting.
Council approved the resolution by unanimous roll call.
Why it matters: the PASER survey and TAMP provide data the city uses to prioritize road repairs and allocate road-maintenance funds. An updated plan will inform multi-year budgeting and potential scheduling of resurfacing or reconstruction projects.
Ending: Staff expects to return to the council with a revised 10‑year plan in the months following data collection and analysis.
