REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 1 111310 ITEM: F-1 Department Approval: Manager Reviewed: Agenda Section: F Item Description: Selection of Project Locations for the 2002 Pavement Management Program: Streets, Pathways and Parking Lots. Background: The City's Pavement Management Program (PMP) began in 1986. At that time, the City was split into 73 neighborhoods, and a two-phase program was initiated. The first phase of the program, completed in 1997, consisted primarily of street reconstruction. The second phase of the program focuses on maintenance projects, which emphasize pavement preservation. A brief outline of work being completed in the second phase: 1. Reconstruction of streets not completed in the first phase of the program due to condition of the pavement at that time. 2 Incorporation of the Ramsey County tumback roads into the program. 3 Maintenance of existing permanent streets through milling and overlaying pavements and repair of settled or broken concrete curbs. 4 Crack sealing and seal coating of existing pavements. This two-phase program has quickly reduced the number of problem streets within the City to a manageable level, less than 5% of the street system. We will be able to maintain that level by providing maintenance on streets that fall into Condition Index ranges that indicate certain treatments are needed. In general terms, Condition Index ratings of 65 to 100 required routine maintenance, such as crack sealing and seal coating. Ratings of 35 to 65 indicate more intense maintenance is needed, such as mill and overlay of pavements and some rehab of concrete curb and base. Condition Ratings of 35 and below indicate reconstruction is the only cost effective method of bringing a pavement up to standard. Staff is recommending that the 2002 program include work in Neighborhoods 16, 24 and 2 5. In 1999 we expanded the Pavement Management Program to manage the condition of City Pathways and Parking lots. We have developed an inventory of these facilities and have added them to our Capitol Improvements Program. Staff recommends that we include the following locations for Pavement Management Projects in 2002: Central Park Lexington Pathways, Fire Station No. 3 Rear Parking Lot, and Howard Johnson Park Parking Lot. All work for these projects will be accomplished with in-house engineering staff. Policy Objectives: 2002 will be the fifth year of phase two of the Pavement Management Program. Phase two includes a low level of residential reconstruction, reconstruction of County Road turnbacks and a much more intensive maintenance program. We actively manage a
