Freeman File THE TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY SYSTEM • COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS 77843-3135 RESOLUTION NO. 5721 Item i132 December 11, 1997 INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT between THE TEXAS TRANSPORTATION INSTITUTE and THE CITY OF LUBBOCK This agreement is made and entered into by and between the Texas Transportation Institute, a government agency, hereinafter called TTI and the City of Lubbock. TTI Responsibilities Desired Results As outlined in the Draft Scope of Proposed Work provided by the City of Lubbock, the following are the tasks to be accomplished and our proposed approach to dealing with the issues involved. In all phases of this proposed work, it should be understood that the long term success of this project will depend on our working in cooperation with City of Lubbock staff. When we say that "... will be created..." we mean that "In conjunction with the city staff... will be created..". 1. Using the current APWA PAVER information and any necessary visual inspections, evaluate the current condition of the paved street system. TTI proposes to upgrade the current City of Lubbock MicroPAVER database to the current 4.0, or 4.1 if it becomes available during the course of this contract. The newer version will allow us and the City of Lubbock to take advantage of the increased capabilities, especially with respect to the visual display of condition and performance data and trend analysis and will allow better customization of the data to meet the needs of the city. Curves representing the average actual performance (Family Curves) will be developed and presented. These curves will be developed for the each of the major groups of pavement sections. These major groups will include Pavement Rank (Residential, Collector, etc.), Surface Type (AC, ST, etc.), and may include some geographic division like Zone or Section Category depending on the performance of the pavements in those groups. The preceding information will be used to evaluate the current and projected condition of city streets. In conjunction with one of the site visits, we will conduct an audit of the PCI of a small portion of the streets to ensure that condition surveys are being conducted as economically and accurately as possible. 2. Although the current procedures/materials appear to be producing very favorable results, evaluate these procedures/materials for possible ways to enhance their cost-effectiveness. The effectiveness of the current maintenance and rehabilitation treatments, procedures, timing, and materials will be evaluated. The effect of the condition of the pavement prior to treatment has an important impact on the on the life and performance of a treatment. The type of distress in the pavement prior to treatment can also have a large impact on the performance of the treatment. Microsurfacing, for example, does not reduce the occurrence of cracking but rubber or latex modified chip seals may reduce this cracking. An example of two of the family curves developed by M in a TxDOT maintenance effectiveness experiment are shown below. The impact on the effectiveness of the timing and type of treatment selected will be evaluated based on data in the database, if possible, and from interviews with city personnel if the data does not exist. Recommendations for alternative treatments and/or materials will be provided, along with usage guidelines for when they are appropriate. These alternative treatments will consider the ultimate fatigue damage that the city streets will eventually experience if surface sealing is utilized as the only treatment. 1vo 90 •• • 80 ' • 70 s 60 • a 60 40 • Actual PCI 30 Predicted PCl 20 10 a Oct-90 Mar-92 Jul-93 Dec-94 Apr-96 Aug-97 Inspection Date Figure 1.

PCI Performance Curves for Microsurfacing 3. Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the current maintenance strategy, and recommend an optimum annual funding and funding source for this current strategy. Based on the current maintenance and rehabilitation strategy, an annual funding level to accomplish a neutral funding level (no improvement in overall condition or backlog), a backlog funding level (reduce or eliminate pavements in poor or worse condition), and an optimal life -cycle cost funding level that would maintain the entire pavement network for the least total cost will be developed. We can survey our numerous contracts in other similar sized cities, especially in Texas, to determine how they have been able to obtain funds for this type of work, or we can solicit assistance from other personnel from within TTI. 4. Determine the future maintenance needs and present a long-range maintenance strategy, including the following: a. Detailed proposal of specific maintenance procedures and materials. b. Recommend annual maintenance goals (such as square yards of seal coat area, etc.) To accomplish the needs of the long range strategy. c. The required annual funding and a recommended source (and alternative sources) for the implementation of these maintenance procedures. d. An implementation plan/schedule for the long range strategy. The analysis required to complete the previous tasks will result in the answers to these and other as yet unformulated questions. However, specific responses to these questions will be generated. TTI has been involved with identifying alternative sources for a variety of sources. The applicability of these sources to the situation in the City of Lubbock will be investigated. S. Prepare a comprehensive report summarizing the evaluation and recommendations of the study, including the following. a. A comprehensive evaluation of the current paved street system, including annual maintenance and funding needs. b. Evaluations and recommendations concerning the current maintenance practices. c. A proposed long-range strategy, including an implementation plan with a proposed schedule d. An estimate of the life and life -cycle costs of both the current methods/materials and those proposed in the long-range plan. e. An evaluation of the impact of continuing the current maintenance procedures at the current funding level. f. An evaluation of the impact of continuing the current maintenance procedures at an ideal annual funding level for projected future needs. g. The additional funding required for all strategies (with cost/lane mile and total cost) and recommended/possible funding sources with the probability of each source. The analysis required to complete the previous tasks will result in the answers to these and other as yet unformulated questions. However, specific responses to these questions will be generated. The family curves discussed above will be used to determine, or estimate depending on the data, the length of time a pavement can be maintained without major improvement. An analysis of the long-term life cycle cost will be conducted, especially with respect to the replacement or upgrading of high volume streets. 6. The consultant will prepare and provide five draft copies of the final report to the Street Department stafffor review and possible revisions. The report described here and all monthly progress reports will be submitted for review. 7. After approval of draft copy revisions, the consultant will provide twenty copies of the final report to the Street Superintendent. Twenty copies will be provided after all revisions to the report have been made. 8. The consultant, with the assistance of the city staff, will present a comprehensive summary of the final report to the senior city staff and the city council. We will make a formal presentation of the findings of this report to the city council. However, we suggest that the city present portions of the report to the council in informal sessions so that the council members can have a chance to review the contents and ask questions. Depending on the timing of the meetings and the needs of the city, we can make this presentation or brief and assist city staff in their preparations. 9. Monthly status reports, to include: a. Current status b. Work accomplished during the last month c. Cost of the project to date d. Projected completion date of all work e. Projected total project costs. This data will be readily available to the researchers who will prepare this report. City of Lubbock Responsibilities Compensation On or before the 1511 day of each new month, TTI shall submit to City of Lubbock an invoice for payment for the previous month's installment. City of Lubbock shall reimburse TTI according to monthly invoices based on work performed. The total cost of this project shall not exceed $14,987. Such payments shall be made from current revenues available to the paying party. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date of its execution and will terminate on June 30, 1998. This agreement embodies the complete agreement of the parties hereto relating to the matters covered herein, and cannot be modified except by written amendment or supplemental agreement of the parties. No interlocal agreement heretofore entered into between the parties shall be construed to apply to the subject matter covered by this Agreement, and such other interlocal agreements shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.
