PRESENTATION / DISCUSSION ITEMS Mrs. Waggoner welcomed the committee and introduced Mr. Boe Blankenship to present the 2022 Preventive Street Maintenance Program. Mr. Blankenship updated the Committee on last year's approved program with 66 completed streets leaving only the remaining eight streets with expected completion by March 2022, weather permitting. Mr. Blankenship touched on the six preventive street maintenance techniques. He informed the committee about some of challenges presented while working on the projects, like acquiring material and labor shortages. Mr. Blankenship summarized the types of maintenance techniques that are used in the program. For most asphalt streets: Crack Seal, Slurry Seal, Micro Surfacing and the 2" Asphalt Overlays. For concrete streets: Partial Pavement Replacement and Concrete Crack Seal. In addition there is a more comprehensive asphalt rehabilitation which is completed in partnership with Tarrant County. Mr. Blankenship presented the 2022 Preventive Street Maintenance Program with 77 projects across 72 streets, over 10 centerline miles of roadway and 6 pavement treatments with a budget slightly over $1,000,000. The 2022 program is tentatively scheduled to get underway end of summer or by this fall. Chairman Turnage expressed his appreciation for the projects are being distributed throughout the city. Chairman Turnage inquired, about what is it about the material used for Micro Surfacing that makes it more durable. Mr. Blankenship explained that it depends on the size of the aggregate that is used making it stronger the larger it is. Council Member Wright Oujesky inquired if the Iron Horse project would cross over the rail road. Mr. Chris Turner explained that the section south of the rail road tracks was included in the bond project, but from the tracks to Mid-Cities is concrete, and is not a part of the bond project. Chairman Turnage inquired if we are in touch with TxDOT about Davis Boulevard regarding the condition of the three southbound lanes. He stated that they are quickly deteriorating. Mrs. Waggoner said that she can reach out to them to find out when their February 28,2022 Capital Improvement Projects Committee Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 3 NRH NORTH RICHLAND HILLS next scheduled maintenance will be. Seems like the last overlay maintenance was made in 2019 or 2020. Chairman Turnage asked if we have the schedule when we will be getting another pavement assessment. Mrs. Waggoner replied that it is the hope to get it in this year's budget, and we are looking to find a service provider that can be there after the assessment, in case we have questions or need additional support. Chairman Turnage asked if we are looking at a three-or-five-year program, Mrs. Waggoner responded that it would likely be a five-year program. Although we were provided the data to work for ten years, things change and pavement deteriorates. Deputy City Manager Paulette Harman stated that funding has been proposed in the 22/23 CIP Budget that City Council will see this summer. Mrs. Waggoner, added that this has been a great resource not only for this, but that in general having that information has allowed Public Works to function at a higher level. City Manager Mark Hindman, expressed support for pursuing tools to function in the preventative mode instead of the reactionary mode. El.
