Willow Park has just contracted for an automated pavement condition assessment for better "understanding of it's current road infrastructure."
Willow Park has contracted with Infrastructure Management Services (IMS) [1] for the 2024 Pavement Condition Assessment, through the North Texas SHARE Purchasing Program.
The IMS 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-depth understanding of its current road infrastructure. The data will assist in the city’s future maintenance and resurfacing plans." [1]
During the 22 October 2024 Council Meeting, the Council approved the $31,320 contract [in .pdf.] with IMS and work should start soon. [1]
