I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />CASE # <br /> <br />2002 ANNUAL STREET MAINTENCE PROGRAM <br /> By: Steven Jankowski, City Engineer <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />At tonight's meeting a public hearing will be held on Improvement Project #02-06 through #02- <br />12 which comprise the 2002 Annual Street Maintenance program. The City has a considerable <br />investment in the 137 miles of bituminous streets for which it is respongible. It is estimated that <br />the replacement costs of the bituminous and street base approach $10 million. The City has <br />established the practice of applying timely preventative maintenance to the pavements to <br />preserve this investment. In general, the table below presents an idealized timetable for <br />pavement maintenance. <br /> <br />Typical Bituminous Street Maintenance Cycle <br /> <br />.Year Action <br />0 Construction <br />5 Sealcoat <br />12 Sealcoat <br />19 Overlay <br />24 Sealcoat <br /> <br />Budget constraints and pavement conditions are factors which altar the actual schedule from the <br />typical schedule above. <br /> <br />The City's oldest pavements date back to 1974, and the first street maintenance program was <br />initiated in 1981. The City has had an annual maintenance program since that time. Attached is <br />an exhibit illustrating the pavement construction and maintenance history. Through the 1990 <br />program it was the City's policy to assess the total cost of the maintenance programs. Beginning <br />in 1991, the City changed the policy and currently assesses 50 percent of the total project cost, <br />with the City financing the remaining half. <br /> <br />This year's program consists of seven individual projects, covering 16.31 miles. Six projects <br />involve crack fill/sealcoat project covering 10.28 miles of roadway. One project involves a <br />inch bituminous overlay covering 6.03 miles. Projects have been aggregated by properties <br />having similar lot sizes and pavement conditions, usually by subdivision. Total assessable <br />project costs are then calculated for each project and divided equally among the number of <br />benefited properties. A number of assessment practices for multiple frontage lots and lots with <br />frontage along MSA streets have evolved as a result of past Council direction. Attached is a <br />listing of these past practices. In summary, the 2002 program to sealcoat and overly 16.31 miles <br />of City streets has a total project cost of $34,612. <br /> <br />-151- <br /> <br /> <br />
