Random/Longitudinal Cracks • Utility Cuts/Other Patches • Raveling, Shoving, Pushing • Main Line Trenches • Pot Holes • Rutting • Alligator Cracks CAUTION 8 ===PAGE 10=== Random/Longitudinal Cracks • Random cracks are transverse cracks caused by seasonal elongation and contraction of the pavement. These will occur within a few years of any new bituminous pavement. ===PAGE 11=== Utility Cuts/Other Patches • These are sections of pavement that have been repaired with new bituminous concrete pavement. (i.e., small gas/water leaks) 10 ===PAGE 12=== Raveling, Shoving, Pushing • Raveling occurs when sections of the top pavement layer become loose and separate from the binder. It indicates deteriorating bond between pavement layers. 11 ===PAGE 13=== Main Line Trench • Main line trenches are longitudinal sections of pavement that have been repaired with new bituminous concrete pavement usually after a main line utility repair. 12 ===PAGE 14=== Potholes • A crater like hole of varying size caused by freezing and thawing of the road surface particularly in areas of other defects, cracks, etc. 13 ===PAGE 15=== Rutting • Longitudinal depressions, "wheel ruts", exist in travel lanes or edge of roadway. Due primarily to repetitive pressure along one line of travel causing improper sub base to compact and/or move laterally. 14 ===PAGE 16=== Alligator Cracks • Also called "spider webbing" & often found at or around manholes, catch basins, where driveways meet roads, and/or where the pavement is too thin or worn. 15 ===PAGE 17=== FUNDING @ The DPW resurfacing program is predicted on the State maintaining current levels of Chapter 90 funding. • $329,794.00 for FY11 16 ===PAGE 18=== Chapter 90 State Aid Funding History Chapt. - 291B & Sup.

Our desire is to provide and maintain the highest possible level of service with quality, efficiency, and safety in mind. Our Town consists of approximately 86 miles of streets, and quality maintenance seems to be a never ending task. Patching of streets occurs for the following reasons: filling potholes, repairing failing drainage structures, repairing access cuts for underground utility replacement or repair, as well as preparing streets for crack sealing, overlays, etc. With a solid work plan we feel we can improve our productivity, efficiency, and customer service. OBJECTIVES One of the objectives of the Department of Public Works is to provide a plan for the safe and orderly movement of emergency equipment, vehicle traffic and pedestrians through the Town. The Asphalt Patching Program was developed to facilitate this objective. The procedures presented in this program serve to outline the maintenance provided to the citizens. POLICIES It is the policy of the Department of Public Works to: Inspect all roadway surface areas for cracking, potholing, or any other form of degradation. This inspection process shall be considered an on-going event, and all bad areas will be noted for replacement Prior to each construction season a review of work zone safety will be required New personnel shall also be trained in proper patching techniques. All equipment will be tested for proper operation and all supplies will be restocked to avoid shortages. 3. Every effort will be made to address pothole complaints within 48 hours after notification. All calls and responses will be logged. ===PAGE 30=== RESPONSIBILITIES ADMINISTRATIVE/SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES • Supervisors spot check crew to see that quality and safety standards are being met. • Supervisor shall maintain a good communication network with Director and other Departments concerning special requests, service cut patching, etc. • Supervisor shall also assist crew with permit coordination if necessary, i.e., digsafe. • Location as well as date of repair will be documented. CREW RESPONSIBILITY • Initiate work zone setup and patching in a safe and efficient manner. * Assure that proper permits and paperwork are completed and logged. • Traffic disruption should be minimized. • Tools and equipment should be maintained to the highest standard practical. PROCEDURES FOR UTILITY PATCHING Proper permits and data sheets are generated within Town Departments. Permit locations are coordinated to maximize team productivity. High volume streets are patched as priority. Traffic control is set up with control devices in proper sequence. Visually inspect traffic tlow. Area to be patched is removed with the most efficient cutting tool for the job: jack hammer, or cutting saw. Remove temporary or defective asphalt from area to be patched. Main streets are dug to a 4 inch dept. Apply asphalt bonding agent around edge of patch. If base under roadway is inadequate remove to depth where material becomes firm. Refill hole with proper road base and compact. Lay 2 inches of asphalt in hole to be patched, rake level, then compact. Add another layer of asphalt to be raked level and compacted so that finished product is level with ===PAGE 31=== existing asphalt. When patch is complete, it must be smooth and meet defined compaction standards. Compaction standards are met with the use of a steel wheel roller. Edges of patches are trimmed to prevent damage and future potholing. Cleaned edges also present a much neater appearance. Work area is swept so any loose material doesn't become a traffic hazard. Remove traffic control devices in reverse order as was set up at start of job. PROCEDURES FOR POTHOLE PATCHING Pothole crews respond on an as needed basis. Potholes form in roadways after moisture has saturated asphalt surfaces causing a breakdown in asphalt. The pothole must be clean of all debris, water, loose rock, and broken asphalt. A street broom is used to sweep out smaller particles and clean edges of hole to be patched. Fill hole with asphalt, mix one to two inches higher than road surface. Asphalt mix is then wheel rolled with truck tire or compacted with vibratory compactor. Finished patch should be level with road surface. On alligator cracks where asphalt breakdown is occurring, area is sprayed with a tack oil. Area is then covered completely with asphalt mix and compacted to grade. However, this procedure is only a temporary fix. Larger cracks in roadways are filled one half of an inch higher than road surface and then compacted to grade. ===PAGE 32=== TOWN OF LUNENBURG DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS SHED NE INCOR POLATED TE PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN Pavement Management Plan June 2010 ===PAGE 33=== PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN At the request of the Board of Selectmen the Lunenburg Department of Public Works is pleased to present this Pavement Management Plan (PMP). This report details the reasons fo undertaking a PMP, the process of data collection, how street repairs are prioritized, and othe factors associated with maintenance of paved roads in Lunenburg. Background on Roadway Infrastructure Over the years, the Town has made a significant financial investment in its infrastructure. This infrastructure includes school and municipal buildings and the multi-year sewer project. Often overlooked but no less important, the roadway network is part of the Town's overall infrastructure. Like any piece of the infrastructure, the roadway network must be maintained ir order to protect the public's investment. Deferring maintenance on the road system will only increase costs over time as the condition of the asset further deteriorates. The Town maintains approximately 100 miles of roads. Current road construction estimates put the cost of reconstruction at approximately $700,000 per road mile. With 100 miles of road, this asset has a value of about $70 million. Unfortunately, the Town's financial resources for maintenance are limited to Chapter 90 State assistance and locally budgeted funds. Chapter 90 provides about $320,000 per year and the FY10 budget commits $70,000 for road improvements tools and materials. It should be noted that the General Highway Maintenance line within the departmental budget has been drastically reduced, often times mid-year due to reductions in local aid further postponing necessary maintenance. Like many communities, the Town has not kept pace with the maintenance of its roads. Competing interests like public education, public safety, and general government operations often take priority over roadway improvements. Roadway improvements prioritized according to the squeaky wheel principle have been the norm, but is not a prudent, cost effective, or objective approach to maintaining such a valuable asset. Furthermore, continued deferred maintenance will cost the Town dearly in the future. The cost of bituminous concrete (asphalt) has increased approximately 2 ½ times over the past 10 years. Although some costs may be slightly lower due to the current economic slump, there is no reason to believe paving costs will decline in the future. The Board of Selectmen clearly understands the need to protect the roadway infrastructure and invest in its maintenance. For this reason the Board instructed staff to prepare a pavement management plan. As the Board rightly acknowledges, this investment needs to bé done as efficiently and cost effectively as possible and it must be done in a systematic fashion. A Pavement Management System is the best way to facilitate this. Pavement Management System A Pavement Management System provides an objective way of programming roadway improvements with the goal of maximizing available resources and extending the life of the pavement system. The system establishes a baseline condition of roadways which is used to Pavement Management Plan June 2010 ===PAGE 34=== establish a list of prioritized improvement recommendations. Roadway segments are prioritized according to a formula that includes the following: • Functional Classification • Pavement Defect Value How the plan was prepared The first step in preparing the PMP was to evaluate the current condition of each road or road segment. Longer roads are broken into segments reflecting past paving history and to facilitate manageable evaluation. A survey form was created to collect data on each roadway segment. The data on the survey form was then used to establish a priority ranking. The public works industry uses two primary factors when evaluating pavement conditions: functional classification and pavement defects. Each is discussed below: Functional classification: Roads are classified in a hierarchy according to how they are used. The functional classification is primarily a reflection of the volume of traffic a road accommodates. For the purposes of this PMP the following classes of roads are identified: • Main Road: Typically contains high traffic volume and either permits traffic flow from one main road to another or acts as an inter-town connector. Example: Lancaster Avenue. • Secondary Main Road: Typically contains higher traffic volume than either a collector road or a local road with less volume than a main road, also acting as a connector between main roads. Example: Sunny Hill Road. • Collector Road: Typically contains lower traffic volume than either secondary main roads or main roads and permits traffic between main roads or secondary main roads and local roads. Example: Hollis Road. • Local Road: Typically contains the lowest traffic volume of all roads and either permits traffic flow from any of the above roads to residential subdivisions or acts as a connector between subdivisions. Example: Broadmeadow Drive. Pavement Defect Value: With the exception of newly paved roads, virtually all roads have some defects. The PMP evaluates a number of defect types and the prevalence of those defects. Roads with more defects and/or defects over a greater percentage of their length achieve a higher pavement defect value. The pavement defects we evaluated include: • Random Cracks: Transverse cracks caused by seasonal elongation and contraction of pavement. These will occur within a few years of any new bituminous pavement. • Iransverse/Longitudinal Cracks: Similar to random cracks, these lengthwise and crosswise cracks are caused by seasonal elongation and contraction of pavement. These will occur within a few years of any new bituminous pavement. • Alligator Cracks: Also called "spider webbing" and often found at and around manholes, catch basins, and/or driveways where they meet the road. • Pot Holes: A crater like hole of varying size caused by freezing and thawing of the road surface particularly in areas of other defects and cracks. • Raveling: Raveling occurs when sections of the top pavement become loose and separate from the binder course. It indicates deteriorating bond between pavement layers. Pavement Management Pian June 2010 ===PAGE 35=== • Rutting, Corrugations, or Pushing: Longitudinal depressions and "wheel ruts" exist in travel lanes or the edge of the roadway. They are due primarily to repetitive pressure along one line of travel causing improper sub-base to compact and/or move laterally. • Cross Trenches, Utility Cuts, or other Patches: These are sections of pavement that have been repaired with new bituminous pavement. • Main Line Trenches: Main line trenches are longitudinal sections of pavement that have been repaired with new bituminous concrete pavement usually after a main line utility repair. Survey Forms: The functional classification and pavement defect values were arrived at by using the Road Classification System Survey Form attached to this report. Each road or road segment was evaluated and a survey form filled out for each. The Pavement Defects section of the form shows the types of defects evaluated and the intensity of those defects. Column 1 indicates no detect. Moving left to right the columns indicate progressively higher defects, reflecting the ercentage of the road that suffers from the particular defect. Column 6 represents the severes lefect. The values of each defect, ranging from 1 to 6, are added together to give the Pavemen Defect Value, which is listed at the bottom of the survey form. A low pavement defect value indicates a road in good condition while a high pavement defect value indicates a road in poor condition. Priority Condition: Pavement defect value alone will not provide a useful priority list for road repair. Using both pavement defect value and road classification provides a more useful and informed outcome. It is necessary to give a weighted value to the road classification so that roads with a higher classification receive the attention they deserve. For the Pavement Management Plan, the following values were applied: • Main Road: 0.75 Secondary Main Road: 0.50 Collector Road: 0.25 • Local Road: 0.10 Multiplying the pavement defect value by the road classification values provides the priority condition value. Pavement defect value X functional classification value = priority condition value This provides a priority value for each road or segment. All of the roads/segments can then be sorted by the priority value to provide a priority list of roads. Improvement Methods Unce Overall Priority Conditions for each roadway segment are completed specific improvement methods are identified. The Annual Improvement Plan will be designed taking into consideration available funds and the roadway network as a whole. The improvement program will address immediate needs and long term maintenance of the roadway network. Immediate needs are those in which roadway segments are at or near failure. Long term maintenance needs are those that slow or stop the deterioration of the roadway segment, thereby extending the life of the segment. Pavement Management Plan June 2010 ===PAGE 36=== Improvements will be tailored to the specific condition of the roadway segment. Improvements may include crack sealing, patching, replacing broken berms, shoulder work, infrared repairs, trench repairs, milling, overlay, and total or partial reclamation or reconstruction. Other roadway features will also be evaluated and factored into improvement costs prior to a specific overall cost estimate. These may include curbing, manholes, and general drainage repairs including catch basins. The most typical pavement application allows for the use of existing pavement and sub base as the foundation for a leveling course which serves to reshape the roadway profile. Due to the rutting of the failed surface this course is difficult to measure. Once this phase of the reconstruction is complete a top course is installed consisting of two inches of bituminous concrete consisting of slightly smaller aggregate. Preventive Maintenance In addition to addressing roads in poor or failing condition, an emphasis must be placed on preventive maintenance. It is important to address pavement problems as they develop and not allow them to reach the point of pavement failure. For this reason, minor repair techniques will be utilized to extend the life of roadways. For example, crack sealing is a fairly inexpensive way to prevent water from infiltrating into pavement, which can quickly lead to pavement failure. Reconstruction For roadways that are beyond repair, reconstruction will be necessary. In general, reconstruction should only be considered for main roads. This is because of the volume of traffic these roadways carry. It is generally not cost effective to reconstruct secondary and local roadways that do not carry heavy volumes. These roads can usually be sufficiently repaired by less costly means. Annual Improvement Program Every year prior to the commencement of the construction season a list of roadway improvements will be published. This Annual Improvement Program will be provided to the Board of Selectmen and made available to the public on the Town's website. The program will detail the roadway segments and the corresponding pavement method for each segment. The decisions will be directly tied to the Pavement Management Program. Due to uncertain funding and expenses it is difficult to develop a list that projects when each roadway segment will be addressed. Multiyear improvement schedules will be released to the extent that they can be accurately projected. Summary A Pavement Management Program that incorporates roadway functional classification and pavement defect value provides an objective way of evaluating and prioritizing necessary roadway repairs. As noted above, roadway maintenance is funded from two sources: State c. 90 funding at approximately $320,000 per year and local funds at about $70,000 per year. That is not a lot of money to maintain an asset valued at approximately $70,000,000. Absent an infusior of additional funds we must assume this is our annual allocation. Therefore, we must be as efficient as possible with our available funds. Adherence to the Pavement Management Program will give us the best ability to maintain this asset in as efficient a means as possible.
