C.3 DISCUSS AND CONSIDER THE 2025 PREVENTIVE STREET
MAINTENANCE PROGRAM.
Boe Blankenship thanked the chair and committee and gave a slide presentation
and answered questions about the presentation.
Boe Blankenship recapped the 2023 preventative maintenance program. There was
a budget of$2.7 million that was allocated to 17.4 center line miles on 128 streets.
All these projects are completed or very near completion with $409,000 savings.
He recapped the 2020 Bond Program. This was nearly $50 million bond with 28
projects to be done in phased construction taking 5-7 years to complete. 10 major
projects including full design, engineering and reconstruction are under way but are
not yet completed. 18 residential street projects were done in 3 phases, and we are
on the final phase and close to completion on all 18 streets.
We utilize 6 rehabilitation techniques. 1. 2" asphalt overlay— concrete curb and
gutter reconstruction as needed, wedge and joint milled, and then overlay 2 inches
of asphalt. 2.Asphalt rehabilitation — concrete curb and gutter reconstruction as
needed, remove all asphalt, add sub-grade stabilizers, and then 6 inches of asphalt.
We historically have partnered with Tarrant County Precinct 3 through an interlocal
agreement and plan to do so again this year. 3. Crack seal — routed and sealed to
prevent moisture in the cracks. 4. Slurry seal — seals fine cracks with a thin layer of
asphalt and aggregate and extends the pavement life. 5. Micro surfacing — seals
fine cracks with larger aggregate used on larger collector streets. 6. Concrete
patches. The streets were graded on the paving conditions from failed to good. The
cost difference between crack seal, slurry seal and rehabilitation is significant ($173
per linear foot). This program concentrates on the roads in the poor category.
Preventative maintenance keeps the number of streets needing rehabilitation from
growing.
No streets were repaired under the preventative maintenance program in 2024 due
to assessing streets for the next projects.
The recommendation for 2025 is to use the $409,000 savings, the 2024 $2 million
budget, and the 2025 $4 million budget for a total of$6.4 million to do maintenance
on 11.31 center line miles on 78 streets.
Chair Deupree asked if there were any other questions. There were none.
Motion was made by Mayor McCarty to accept the preventative street maintenance
program as presented and a seconded by Council Member Compton.
Motion to approve carried 4-0.
