Council <br /> ~ J ~ <br /> indicated that of the sCL'narios presented. scenario :t based on the desire to increase the <br /> overall pC! (Pavement Condition Index) rating to 75. was most desirahle. Staff has <br /> proceeded to detennine PMI' projects tl.lr the next live years that incorporates <br /> GoodPointe's recommendations. Attached is a map with proposed improvements over <br /> the next five years. <br /> Staff considered GoodPointe' s suggestions liJr improvements in conjunction \vith the <br /> f()lIowing bctors: whether the street has concrete curh and gutter, and the needs Illr <br /> watem1ain, sanitary sewer or storm sewer improvements. Staff also visually inspected the <br /> streets to conlinn or revise the recommended maintenance strategy. Many of the streets <br /> that were listed as mill and overlay candidates were streets that do nol have eurh and <br /> gutter, arc at least 30 years old and likely have thin layers of hiturninous with an <br /> insuflicient hase. If these streets were milled, it is likely that the milling procedure would <br /> result in the removal of the asphalt in its entirety, exposing the insuflicient subgrade, . <br /> rcquiring the scope of the project to change Irom a mill and overlay to a complete <br /> reconstruct. These streets often werc also Ilmnd to have little to no storm sewer and poor <br /> drainage due to the lack of curb and gutter. While staff kit that severa] of thcse streets <br /> were not candidates for mill and overlay. the pavement condition was tl)Und to he <br /> suitable Il)r a sealcoat. Seakoating these streets would extend the life of the pavement <br /> long enough so that \\'e could address streets that arc candidates tl)r mill and overlays and <br /> do have curb and gutter and a sufficient suhgrade. As with all sealcoats. some minor <br /> maintenance would be required, such as crack scaling, patching. and leveling. <br /> Ilistorically. streets have been sealcoated one to two vcars alter reconstruction or mill and <br /> overlay. CioodPointe's analysis did not use this philosophy: n:.commenda t ions Jl.)r <br /> sealcoating occurred when the PCI of a street indicated the need 11.1f minor maintenance. <br /> Staff utilized this information. as well as visual inspections. to determine which streets <br /> were good candidates 1l.1f seakoats. <br /> During the visual inspection of the streets. sta fr ((.lund that some streets with concrete <br /> curb and guttcr that were listed as mill and overlay candidall's had more distresses than <br /> typically recommended for a mill and overlay. The cracks and distresses present would <br /> rcllect through the overlay within a few years aHer paving. Soil borings can be taken to <br /> determine the presence of a sutticient base. If one exists, these streets are good candidates <br /> Illr full pavement replacement. This is a procedure where the base and curb and gutter <br /> remain in place. and only the existing pavement is rcmoved and replaced. Streets . <br /> recommended I()r this type of improvement arc shown as rnill and o\'erlay streets on the <br /> attached map. <br />
