Board reviews pavement evaluation and five-year resurfacing plan that assumes $3 million a year
Summary
City staff presented a biannual pavement evaluation reporting an overall pavement index of 64.9, identified about 19.6 miles flagged for resurfacing, and said the draft five-year plan assumes roughly $3,000,000 per year to maintain the street network.
City public-works staff presented the Board of Public Works Aug. 18 with the city's biannual pavement evaluation and a five-year resurfacing framework that assumes about $3,000,000 per year.
Staff said the citywide pavement condition index this year is 64.9 and noted the comprehensive-plan target of about 60; the evaluation identifies roughly 19.6 miles of streets rated in the low range that staff would target for resurfacing. "As part of our CIP account we're resurfacing streets as many as we can and then, as an operating budget, we are crack-sealing other streets," the staff member said, describing a two-pronged approach of resurfacing the worst streets and maintaining good streets. Staff estimated the city can resurface about 4 miles per year under current capacity.
Staff listed streets worked on this year (Carrington Woods, a section of Green Ridge, Recede Place in Hillandale and Springdale) and said poor base materials in some areas forced additional excavation and delayed Julius Hyatt until next year. S2 also noted LGRIP funding likely will reimburse roughly $100,000 to the city for the Carrington Woods work after project completion.
On Orland Road staff said the contractor is performing shoulder, gutter and temporary-signal work and plans a traffic switch during the week of Aug. 18; the contract schedule still projects completion around December, weather permitting. Staff said the five-year plan is contingent on CIP budget approval and can be adjusted if annual funding differs from the $3,000,000 assumption.
Staff made supporting materials and a map available to board members and indicated intern Elliot Lockney prepared the crash/pavement data package and could answer technical questions. The board took no formal funding action at the meeting; staff will carry the evaluation into the CIP/budget process for further decisions.
