REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 09/1 1/00 ITEM: F-3 Department pproval: Manager Reviewed: Agenda Section: . \�,��-- Reports/Recommendations Item Description: Selection of neighborhoods for the 2001 Pavement Management Program. 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, approximately the first 10 years, consisted primarily of street reconstruction. The second phase of the program, years 10 through 20, is expected to include some reconstruction, but focus on major maintenance activities such as mill and overlays. The purpose of the two phase program was to quickly reduce the number of problem streets within the City to a manageable level, less than 10% of the street system, and to maintain that level by providing major maintenance. The first phase of PMP completed in 1997 was successful in achieving that goal. The second phase consists of: Reconstruction of streets not completed in the first phase of the program due to condition of the pavement at that time. Incorporation of the Ramsey County turnback roads into the program. Maintenance of existing permanent streets through milling and overlaying pavements and repair of settled or broken concrete curbs. Crack sealing and seal coating of existing pavements. Staff is recommending the 2001 program to include work in Neighborhoods 10, 15, 17, 18, and 4 l. Work on these projects will be accomplished with in-house engineering staff. Neighborhood 10 reconstruction was postponed from 1998. At that time the neighborhood petitioned the City Council not to move ahead with their street. The neighborhood felt that the work should be completed in conjunction with Arden Hills. At this time, the streets in this neighborhood are in much worse condition than the Arden Hills segments. We have discussed the matter with Arden Hills, and they have told us that they will not be reconstructing their neighborhood in the next 10 years. Our segments will not hold up for 10 more years without substantial reconstruction. As a consequence, we are proposing to move ahead with these streets in 2001. Policy Objectives: 2001 will be the fourth 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. Financial Implications: The following is a summary of the estimated costs and financing for the 2001 Pavement Management Program:
