Item No. 5 Type of Business: WK WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Greg Lee, Director of Public Works Item Title/Subject: Pavement Management Program Developing the 2004 Street Improvement Project Meeting Date: May 5, 2003 Background: On April 28, 2003 the City Council requested to add the Pavement Management Program to the May 5, 2003 Work Session. Specifically, the Council wanted to discuss the development of the 2004 Street Improvement Project. Discussion: The first step in developing a long-range street major maintenance program is to perform an evaluation on the existing City streets. The last time this was performed in Mounds View was 1999. In an effort to have a project ready for accepting bids and awarding a contract in the spring of 2004, the City must define the scope of the project in the next few months. Given this, there isn’t enough time to re-evaluate the streets and perform a detailed analysis. Also, given the fact that most all streets in Mounds View will need to be reconstructed as opposed to some other maintenance technique being applied, it is prudent to utilize the 1999 data to develop the scope of a project for 2004. Attached are two documents developed in 1998/99 to assist the City in developing a long-range street major maintenance program. One document is a color map of the City showing possible project areas. The second document is a spread sheet of data that correlates to the colored areas on the map. Recommendation: Staff is looking for direction from the City Council pertaining to this matter. Specifically, Staff is looking for direction regarding which street segments or area of the City the City Council wishes to investigate as potential segments to be included in the 2004 Street Improvement Project. Respectfully Submitted, Greg Lee, Director of Public Works
