C3E<br />
Criteria: Municipal Code has a<br />
moratorium on excavations <strong>in</strong>to<br />
resurfaced streets for 3 years…<br />
Condition: 18% of streets resurfaced<br />
dur<strong>in</strong>g FY 2009 were excavated<br />
dur<strong>in</strong>g moratorium…<br />
Cause: City departments are not<br />
required to plan citywide excavation<br />
work and <strong>the</strong> GIS system for<br />
manag<strong>in</strong>g project conflicts has<br />
limitations…<br />
Effect: Cont<strong>in</strong>ued excavations <strong>in</strong>to<br />
newly resurfaced streets degrade<br />
pavement conditions, <strong>in</strong>crease<br />
lifecycle costs, and reduce <strong>the</strong> City’s<br />
ability to leverage resources…<br />
Coord<strong>in</strong>ation and Plann<strong>in</strong>g of Streetrelated<br />
Work Is Limited<br />
Plann<strong>in</strong>g and coord<strong>in</strong>ation of all work on<br />
or under City streets <strong>is</strong> critical to limit<br />
excavations which will degrade and<br />
shorten pavement life. Municipal Code<br />
prohibits excavations <strong>in</strong>to streets that<br />
have received asphalt overlay or slurry seal<br />
for five years and three years, respectively.<br />
We found that about 18 percent of our<br />
sample of 40 streets that were resurfaced<br />
<strong>in</strong> f<strong>is</strong>cal year 2009 were excavated dur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>the</strong> moratorium period. These excavations<br />
occurred because City departments are not<br />
required to plan Citywide excavation<br />
work. Without improved plann<strong>in</strong>g and<br />
coord<strong>in</strong>ation, excavations will degrade<br />
pavement…<br />
