Title
Pavement Management Update - Proposal
History
In 2012, the Public Works Department utilized the services of Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA) of Champaign, Illinois to implement a village wide pavement management system (PMS). Using ARA’s digital survey vehicle (DSV), ARA conducted a complete coverage pavement condition survey of all streets within the Village jurisdiction. ARA was able to gather all of the necessary data to assess current pavement condition using a Condition Rating System (CRS). This CRS data was combined with historical data about the pavement network to develop a PMS using ARA’s own RoadCare system. Pavement deterioration models were developed to project the life of roads in the future. Recommendations, in the form of a 5-year capital improvement plan, were made to help improve the effectiveness of the Village’s pavement management practices. Subsequent to the initial detailed survey, ARA has performed annual updates to help refine pavement management components. The PMS provides annual guidance in determining and prioritizing which neighborhoods and which maintenance process (overlay, patch, reconstruction, etc.) provides the best value for the Village’s annual Road Program budget.
ARA’s initial evaluation determined that Village roads, collectively, had an average Pavement Condition Rating (PCR) of 54 out of 100; with 100 representing roads in excellent condition. Now more than five years later, the data collected in the initial survey has become outdated and much less useful. In order to maintain accurate information and receive appropriate recommendations, it is essential that the data used to make those recommendations be periodically updated. With that intent, staff requested a proposal from ARA to perform a current complete coverage pavement condition survey. Applied Research Associates has provided a proposal/scope of services to update the Village’s Pavement and Asset Management System for 2018 at a cost not to...
