515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Scott Tangen, Public Works Director <br />DATE: May 8, 1998 <br />RE: Proposed Pavement Management Program <br />MAYOR <br />Michael I. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />One of our priorities from the 1998 goal setting session was to begin financial planning for the <br />future years, specifically the years 2000 -2003. As part of this planning process, I have asked <br />Terry Mauer with Howard R. Green to give us a proposal for a pavement management program. <br />(Please see enclosed letter from Terry Mauer.) <br />For your information, I have enclosed a portion of the University of Wisconsin's Pacer manual <br />(pavement surface evaluation and rating guide). The Pacer system is very similar to the <br />Micropaver format that would be used by Howard R. Green. The proposed program will give us <br />a tool to perform a detailed inventory of the physical condition of each street within the City. <br />This inventory, when updated annually or biannually will give us a tool to predict the expected <br />life of a street, how much preventive maintenance is going to be required during the life of that <br />street, and the most opportune times to perform preventive maintenance work. I will not be able <br />to attend Wednesday night's Council meeting, but I have asked Terry Mauer to give a brief <br />presentation about the Micropaver format that would be used for the proposed pavement <br />management program. <br />I highly recommend that we adopt the proposed pavement management program. <br />ST:kv <br />Enclosures <br />Page 29 <br />
