4. Discussion and possible action regarding the street rating system and entering into an

Texas Council of Government Interlocal Share Program.
Dean Yanagi, City Engineer, presented information on this item. Mr. Yanagi stated that staff was tasked
with developing a street rating system, which will be used to develop guidelines for reconstructing
pavement throughout the City. The most current assessment was completed in 1998. Staff reviewed
and updated the assessment by adding all streets and street improvements since that time and used
the Michigan-Phaser method to formulate an extensive assessment. Staff created a comprehensive
street inventory and determined that the City has a total of 476 lane miles of pavement.
Staff evaluated streets that were 40+ years old, reviewed the list of pending street repairs and
completed a visual street review to determine a high, medium and low priority list. The high priority list
consists of 42.5 lane miles, medium 60.5 lane miles and low 43.1 lane miles. A scoring spreadsheet
was created to assess each street section based on conditions of alligator, block, longitudinal and
transverse cracks, patches, potholes, ruts and distortions. Based on the scores, a 9-10 would require no
action, 7-8 a crack-seal, 5-6 a micro-seal, 3-4 mill and overlay and a 1-2 would require a rebuild. This
process took two full-time staff members three weeks to complete.
It would take staff 8.5 months to complete an assessment of the entire City. Staff would like to utilize an
outside source through a North Central Council of Governments Interlocal Share Program to complete
the assessment, which could be completed in five days.
The Board was of the consensus to move forward on the street assessment project and asked staff to
research companies and bring a proposal to a future meeting for approval.
