Road work*
The council also approved an agreement with Infrastructure Management Services (IMS), an engineering firm that conducts automated pavement condition assessments. They provide the data and analysis to develop long term, cost optimized street rehabilitation plans.
The 2024 Pavement Condition Assessment project will include driving all concrete and asphalt streets in the City (approximately 80 miles) with a van that is outfitted with instrumentation to record on a continuous basis the surface condition, rutting, roughness, and the location by global positioning system (GPS) coordinates. Upon conclusion of the mobile field data collection, IMS will provide a final report with all the street segments listed with their pavement condition index (PCI). This pavement assessment will provide the city with an updated and in-depthunderstanding of its current road infrastructure. The data will assist in the city’s future maintenance and resurfacing plans.
The cost of the work to the city will be $31,320.
