MN 55108 1450 West Highway 96 612'644-4389 Arden Hills, MN 55112 1,800,S88'2923 RE: ARDEN HILLS PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Fax: 612-644-9446 PROPOSED PROCESS Dear Council Members: On September 20, 1995, Terry Maurer and I met with City staff to discuss a proposal to improve the City of Arden Hills' Pavement Management System (PMS) on future public improvement projects. Based upon feedback from the City Council, residents of recently reconstructed streets in Arden Hills, and staff, we have attempted to develop a revised - process for use in future improvements. This letter will summarize that process and outline - a method and timeline for its implementation over the next year using the 1995 Pavement -, eViL E~G;('...~=~'\;G re-rating as a starting point, and concluding with the completion of a 1996 Street ~;\YIRONMENTAl Improvement Project. --- MUNICIPAL _ePLA.\iNir-..G Proposed Process SOLID WASTE STRUCTURAL The revised PMS process should start with the re-rating of all streets within Arden Hills J SURVEYING during October. This operation should occur on a three year basis, and has not been TRA:FiC completed since 1992. Based upon conversations with City staff, this work would be I TRA!\<S"ORTATIOf\ completed using a combination of MSA and public works staff. Following the initial re-rating, MSA would update the computer files annually to move newly reconstructed, ELECTRICAL/MECI-<AN:cAL rehabilitated, overlaid, or seal coated streets to appropriate locations within the master I ENGINEERING street priority list. f-'VAC POWER )1$~R~BUTiON Data Gathering and Information Dissemination I SCADA SYSTEM CONTROLS Upon completion of the street annual re-rating/revision, staff would most likely request I authorization to complete a feasibility study for those streets most in need of corrective action, as outlined above. This feasibility study would be more general in nature than recent studies, in an effort to give residents a basic idea of the various improvement I options, costs, and benefits related to the various means of improvement. Following the preparation of this report, MSA and staff would hold informational meetings with affected property owners. It may be necessary to hold more than one meeting as residents not I desiring street rehabilitation when proposed by the PMS, could ask that their streets be delayed. In this situation, those streets would be moved to the bottom of the PMS priority fI' OFFICES IN: list and a follow-up informational meeting would be held for what we would classify as MINNEAPOLIS "second priority" streets.
