anchor Description
This project provides for the design and major rehabilitation of existing asphalt parking lots and associated drainage structures. Work includes milling and re-paving, full depth reconstruction of failed areas, and re-establishing positive drainage.
anchorCost Change
Cost increase is due to the addition of expenditures in and for this ongoing project.
anchor Justification
The age and condition of paved surfaces (primarily parking lots) at County facilities creates the need for this project. The deterioration of bituminous pavement occurs because of bitumen evaporation, infiltration of moisture, exposure to the environment, and disintegration due to salt and other compounds used during the winter. The maintenance and repair of paved surfaces is managed through the County's facilities maintenance program. A facility planning approach to major repair and resurfacing of paved surfaces has established a validated inventory of paved surfaces requiring major work; allowed for systematic planning and execution to eliminate the inventory of major work; and begun to arrest the continuing deterioration of paved surfaces, preventing more costly total reconstruction. This project implements an annual major repair and resurfacing program for paved surfaces as they reach the end of their useful life. The February Report of the Infrastructure Maintenance Task Force, identified an annual level of effort for parking lot resurfacing based on an average year life for parking lots.
