I ~ I I I I I I I " I I I I I' I ~ I I URS Introduction Pavement Management Program Philosophy On October 27, 2003, the Arden Hills City Council authorized the preparation of a feasibility study for the 2004 Pavement Management Program. The proposed 2004 Pavement Management Program consists of the proposed reconstruction and rehabilitation of the Edgewater Avenue neighborhood located in the southeast quadrant of Arden Hills. Exhibit 1 shows the project location. The current Pavement Management Program policy was adopted by the Council during the Fall of 2001. The adopted city approach to pavement management is based upon considering neighborhoods as a whole. The City has implemented a pavement management program, which includes field surveying each roadway every three years to monitor its conditions, identify trends and extrapolate pavement life expectancies. This survey measures all of the pavement distresses withiu a road segment and results in a numerical Pavement Condition Index (PCI) unique to each particular road segment. To implement a maintenance program, specific rehabilitation/reconstruction treatments are recommended based on the PCI values of the street. The following table illustrates the generally recommended treatment for a given PCr. PCI 100-81 80-61 60-0 TREATMENT Spot Repair, Crack Seal and Seal Coat Mill and Overlay Complete Reconstruct In addition to surface PCI ratings, issues such as drainage/flooding, water quality improvements, conformance with design standards and utility condition are considered when developing the recommended priority for reconstruction and rehabilitation of City pavements. This approach allows for the City to address storm drainage and water quality issues, which typically cannot be effectively solved on a street by street basis. In addition, the neighborhood approach provides some economy of construction costs and limits impacts to neighborhoods for one season instead of multiple seasons over a period of several years. This feasibility report is organized in two parts as follows: Part I: Edgewater Avenue Neighborhood Improvements; Part II: Project Costs, Funding and Schedule. Part I essentially describes the existing conditions and proposed improvements and alternatives and issues. Part II is a comprehensive summary of the entire project costs, funding sources and timeline. Appendixes include exhibits, detailed cost estimates, preliminary assessment roles and assessment.
