ain thou I e DATE : APPROVAL,:—- _ _-- May 10, 1991 TO Mayor and Councilmembers FROM : Tbo{pas D. Burt City Manager ITEM : PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM STUDY The Interim Report, presented, to the City Council by the Road Task Force, recommended the City establish a formal Pavement Management System for all City streets. Staff has met with three engineering firms and recommends the firm of Braun Intertec Pavement, Inc. to prepare the study. Braun is a leader in pavement management and has performed similar studies for Golden Valley, Roseville, Eagan, Bloomington and Minneapolis. The pavement management system proposed will serve the City by supplying factual information and justification on needed road repairs and replacement. It will also be used as a budgeting tool to assist in the preparation of a five year capital improvements program. This will better enable the City to plan long range expenditures and identify future bonding needs. As part of the pavement management system report, Braun will also prepare an assessment policy for the City. The cost of the pavement management system and the assessment policy is $16,850. To keep the cost lower and to free the City from being dependent on one engineering firm, Braun will train City staff to conduct the condition survey and City staff will input the information into the software. Recommendation: Fund the study come from the City's road restoration fund balance.
