HomeMy WebLinkAbout13.A.1. 2011 Street Overlay ProgramTO: FROM: SUBJECT: DATE: INTRODUCTION: Mayor & City Council Mark McNeill, City Administrator Bruce Loney, Public Works Director Gregg Voxland, Finance Director 2011 Street Overlay Program February 15, 2011 This memo is a follow -up on the discussion of long term capital financing from the January 18, 2011 and February 1, 2011 meetings. BACKGROUND: From the February 1, 2011 Council meeting, the Council directed staff to bring back information on overlay projects for 2011 and beyond. On bituminous overlays, in 2006 staff did present a 2006 Pavement Management System report on the future needs of maintaining pavements by seal coating, bituminous overlays and street reconstructions. Staff has recommended the City should spend for the next five years an amount of $780,000.00 per year for overlays. Also, staff pointed that 45% of Shakopee streets have been built from 1995 to 2005. An average of 6 5 miles of streets were constructed per year and will fall in the overlay category starting in 2016. The 2006 Pavement Report did recommend at some point to decrease or eliminate reconstructions and concentrate on the overlay "Bubble" from the 1995 -2005 major construction years. The overlay bubble is shown as follows: • 1995 -1999 • 2000 -2004 CITY OF SHAKOPEE Memorandum 33.76 miles 31.28 miles The goal of the overlay program is to keep pavements from going to the reconstruction category as long as possible. Staff has developed a comparison of costs between overlays, remove & replace pavement and total reconstructions as follows: Bituminous Overlays = $1 Remove & Replace Pavement = $2.4 Total Reconstruction = $5.00 This comparison is to show that the initial overlay cost is a 1 to 2.4 ratio to a remove and replace pavement project and a 1 to 5 ratio to a total reconstruction project. The point of this is to show that overlays can be a cost effective measure in extending the life of a pavement. Other discussion points asked of staff by the Council include splitting up the project for 2011. If Council desires to split the project, staff would recommend to do Vierling Drive and streets north of Vierling Drive and east of Marschall Road. Staff does not recommend splitting the areas as a larger project usually has better bid prices and delaying an area would increase the backlog of streets in future years. On the question of assessing overlays, staff presented information on June 15, 2010 for not assessing and Council approved Resolution No. 7025 on August 17, 2010 to amend the Special Assessment Policy. To assess bituminous overlays and then bond for the improvement would be more expensive due to bonding and assessing costs, per Gregg Voxland's memo on January 12, 2011 for the January 18, 2011 meeting on street overlays. A CIF projected cash level showing a tax levy — overlay amounts and 30% assess amounts is provided to show the impact of assessments to no assessments. See attachments. Council should provide direction on how they want to finance bituminous overlay projects in order to make a decision on the 2011 project. If Council desires to change the Assessment Policy, it is unlikely staff can follow the public process in time to get good bids this spring. ALTERNATIVES: 1. Proceed with the 2011 bituminous overlay project under current policy — no assessments. 2. Do not do an overlay project in 2011. 3. Direct staff on how to proceed on for an overlay project in 2011. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends alternatives No. 1. ACTION REQUESTED: Move to proceed on the 2011 bituminous overlay project according to current policy. Gregg oxla d ' : race Lon .E.

Operating Costs: SHAKOPEE PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM JULY, 2006 SHAKOPEE COMMUNITY PRIDE SINCE 1857 PURPOSE: City of Shakopee Pavement Management Program This report is to update the Council of the City's pavement condition and for consideration of a policy to implement a City -Wide Pavement Management Program. This program is to maintain and upgrade the City's street system as it ages and is utilized by its residents and property owners. The overall goal of the program is to provide a safe and usable local transportation system, whereby each street is meeting an acceptable standard condition and doing so in a cost effective fashion. The specific objectives of the Pavement Management Program are: 1. Continue to reconstruct streets and utilities that have deteriorated beyond the point of its useful life. 2. Increase the amount of funding for bituminous overlays of City streets. Streets can be overlaid at a 1:5 cost ratio to reconstruction of street. 3. Increase the funding for seal coats to preserve the life of pavements as a pavement management strategy. 4. Replacement of utilities including service lines on street reconstruction projects which is recommended to be paid at 100% from user fees collected from monthly utility bills. 5. Consider increasing street assessments from 25% to 30% or more to help fund Pavement Management Program. 6. Develop an implementation strategy for collector streets and one for local streets. 7. Utilize State Aid funds for pavement maintenance projects such as seal coats, overlays and reconstruction of State Aid streets. For bituminous pavements, a range of maintenance operations are proposed to upgrade the streets to an acceptable standard over the useful life of the pavement. Development of the Pavement Management System and maintenance strategies must include a financing component that allows the City at large, as well as property owners, to absorb the improvement costs. In the City of Shakopee, the street system represents a major financial investment of over 120 million dollars. The condition of neighborhood streets can directly impact property values, as well as reflecting a sense of the Community's livability. 1 BACKGROUND: City of Shakopee Pavement Management Program Shakopee's street system has developed over a period of almost 150 years. The "Old Shakopee" street system is a grid system and is the area where most of the street reconstructions have occurred since 1980. Approximately 45% of the local streets have been built since 1996 when the T.H. 169 bridge and freeway was constructed. At present, staff has determined that the 138.1 miles of street could be placed in the following categories: • Street Reconstruction — 11 miles • Overlays — 31 miles • Seal Coats — 98 miles At this time, there is a large inventory of streets in the seal coat category and these streets in time will move to the bituminous overlay category. Current/Evaluation /Maintenance Strategies: The life cycle of a bituminous pavement is particularly dependent on a series of maintenance strategies. As a new pavement ages, a pavement can be protected with a seal coat and restored with an overlay. To be effective, these strategies need to be applied at proper times. In conducting street evaluations, pavement conditions can be rated from a scale of 100 to zero where 100 is brand new. The Pavement Management Program involves scheduling the maintenance /reconstruction activities, as needed, to maintain the streets to an acceptable level. For instance, reconstruction streets are those that are beyond standard maintenance strategies. Typically, these streets have deteriorated to a point where seal coats or bituminous overlays are not effective or utilities in the street need replacing or the street subgrade or street width needs correction. Streets in the reconstruction category can be patched, for a time, but eventually the condition is such that the, maintenance costs are quite high and the public is demanding the streets be upgraded. Currently, the City has an estimated 11 miles of street in the reconstruction category. Seal coats are an ongoing maintenance operation that has been conducted annually utilizing the Burnsville Joint Powers Agreement for value pricing. The increased number of new streets since 1996 is requiring more streets to be seal coated. A seal coat protects the bituminous surface from weathering and extends the useful life of the pavement. As the pavement weathers, the surface becomes more brittle and subject to cracking, which allows water to access the street base accelerating the deterioration process. Studies and experience dictate seal coats must be reported on an eight (8) schedule to be effective. 2 City of Shakopee Pavement Management Program Once a pavement starts to show deterioration (cracking) and a seal coat is no longer effective, an overlay is in order as the next level of maintenance. Overlays are usually over a 20 year period of the pavement's life. An overlay restores the pavement section and prolongs its life. If seal coat and overlay programs are properly conducted, reconstruction of a pavement can be deferred for up to 50 years or more. Overlays should be an ongoing annual program. Proper application of these strategies to provide an extended pavement life cycle is highlighted on the following graph: MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES FOR LIFE CYCLE EXTENSION MNI+rtF�N,AN A7tS1£"+ sEALCOAT AND OVERLAY - - - -- ROUTINE UM TENANCE ONLY PAVEMENT AGE (YEARS) While it may be difficult to achieve up to an 80 year's life cycle, as illustrated, a 40 to 60 Year cycle is reasonable to expect. 3 Street Reconstructions: 4 VARIES 3.0% 6" TOPSOIL, SEED, AND MULCH OR SOD ) (TYPICAL) PROGRAM COSTS: SEALCOATING OVERLAYS City of Shakopee Pavement Management Program Streets reconstructed by the City since 1980 are identified on a map located in the Appendix. The cost of reconstructing streets to today's standard section, including reconstruction behind the curb, is approximately $250 to $300 /per lineal foot depending on soil conditions and various street widths. 2.0% 33' - 37' (BACK TO BACK SHAKOPEE STANDARD SURMOUNTABLE C & G 4 2.0% VARIES 3.0% 1.5" MVWE45035B BITUMINOUS WEARING COURSE (2350) BITUMINOUS TACK COAT (2357) . 2.5" MVNW35035B BITUMINOUS BASE COURSE (2350) 8" AGGREGATE BASE, CL 5 (2211), 100% CRUSHED LIMESTONE SELECT GRANULAR BORROW (3149) SCARIFY AND COMPACT SUBGRADE (2112) Based on the previous discussion of maintenance strategies, a program cost for each can be estimated as follows: Based on the 98 miles in the seal coat category and using a repeating 8 year cycle up to 12 miles of City street should be seal coated each year. The cost per square yard for seal coating in 2006 was $.65 /square yard. The annual cost for 2007 should be $160,000, including some leveling, striping and engineering costs. As new streets are added to the City's inventory and construction costs rise, the annual budget for seal coating operation will increase accordingly. For 2006, a $60,000 amount was budgeted for seal coating and this amount is not enough to keep up with the large number of new streets since 1996. It should be pointed out that reconstruction streets and overlayed streets will fall into a seal coating operation and thus will increase the City's inventory in the future. As shown in the Life Cycle Graph, overlays are conducted with a 20 year life expectancy. The current inventory of streets to be overlaid is 31 miles. To prevent a number of these streets from falling into the street reconstruction category, it is estimated that the City should spend approximately $780,000 per year on bituminous overlays. A major reason for this increase in bituminous overlays is that no overlay projects were done from 1998 to 2003 and the 2004 and 2005 projects were relatively small overlay projects. Again, costs would rise as the street mileage and construction costs both increase. For Shakopee, a large number of street miles are fairly new. Since 1996, an average of 6.3 miles of new street per year has been added due to development. As these streets age, the number of miles of overlays per year should increase. We will see a substantial yearly increase of streets in the overlay category beginning around 2016. RECONSTRUCTION The City of Shakopee has about 11 miles of street in the reconstruction category consisting of both urban and rural street segments. Many of these streets can be maintained to function but seal coats /overlays are not a feasible option. Based on reconstruction costs of $250 /lineal feet, a mile of street reconstruction is $1,320,000. One mile of "Old Shakopee" streets is approximately 14 blocks of streets, 380 feet long. It should be pointed out that a reconstruction street is about 5 times more expensive than a bituminous overlay. A good pavement management strategy is to keep pavements from getting into the reconstruction as long as possible. CIP- FINANCING: City of Shakopee Pavement Management Program In preparing the 2007 -2011 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for street reconstructions and overlays, the following assumptions were used: 1. Reconstruct approximately 12 -14 blocks of street for the next five years. 2. Spend an average of $780,000 per year for next five years on bituminous overlays. 3. Assess 25% of the cost for reconstructions and overlays. 4. Use an average of $255,000 per year of State Aid to fund the improvements. Items for Council to consider in future financing of Pavement Management Program: 1. Fully fund seal coating up to $160,000 per year and out of the Street Division of the Public Works budget. 2. Do not assess sanitary sewer services similar to SPUC not assessing water service lines on reconstruction projects. 3. Increase street reconstructions and overlay assessments to 30% of the project costs. 5 • City of Shakopee Pavement Management Program 4. Each development is charged, at the time of final plat, for a future seal coat based on current year pricing. The following table summarizes the anticipated debt schedule assuming the Pavement Management System is implemented as proposed for the purpose of budgeting bituminous overlays and street reconstruction projects have been combined. Some years, given street conditions and project areas, it may make sense to do more overlays and less reconstructs and vice versa. Also, when budgeting for street improvements, it is important to look at a 5 -years average. Because project areas, conditions and pricing vary year to year, it is difficult to spend the exact same amount on street projects each year. One year we may be below the budgeted amount and the next year we may be over the budgeted amount. The City may want to set -up a street account and commit a set amount of money per year to that account. This would help account for the yearly fluxuations in pricing. The table below assumes a 3% inflation factor per year: TAX LEVY 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Seal Coating $160,000 $165,000 $170,000 $175,000 $180,000 Reconstruction/ $1,190,000 $1,225,000 $1,262,000 $1,300,000 $1,339,000 Bituminous Overlays The numbers in the table above were calculated assuming an assessment rate of 25% and using an average of $255,000 per year of State Aid to fund the improvements.
