Contributing to the Street conditions in Denton vary y variation is the subsurface soil condition, age of the streets and drailkttt, age. The past two severe winters caused further deterioration due to the number of freeze-thaw cycles. Although street design specifications were upgraded in 1972, many system- the City has no of Denton', streets now need r~zpair. Currently, ipriorities for the atic method for identifying these streets, setting pr repair scheduling, and estimating the cost of the repair, Db ective_. The Center proposes to develop a major maintenance schedule in conjunction with benton's present plans for seal coating and capital m- proveWts to emphasize repair, upgrading er complete reworking of those 7 7' i.f ik 'r' ~y' t d 2 streets with the most crttical reed. This schedule will identify the street in need of repair, identify the type of repair neaded, and give a priority rating to each street. In order for the street inventory to be a continuous operation, City staff will be trained to use the inventory system beyond the project's completion. IV. Methodolo9Y A thorough street inventory provides a complete classification reflecting the physical features and service demands placed on each street. The data comprising an inventory is usually readily available from existing sources but has not been assembled in a usable manner for administrators to analyze and use the data to best advantage. A method of dividing the entire street into sections must be decided upon before compiling data for each section. Streets are usually divided by block and ic'ttersection with each black and each intersection being a section for analysis, Each section should have approximately the same curb to curb width, pavement width and traffic voltce throughout its length. When any of these factors change, the control section should be changed. ' The shorter the section, the more precise will be the data collected and the easier to record future changes. In order to evaluate street sections for relative adequacy and relative urgency of improvement, a sufficiency rating will be compiled. A sufficiency rating is a method for determining the relative adequacy and relative urgency of improvement based on a point system. The points are assigned in three categoriest 1) structural adequacyl 2) functional adequacyl and 3) weight and traffic volume capacity. - ®ar■ursr■asrl r A K r y .'e :`1 j rfS, E e S 77 '71". 3 These categories may be used as guides in determining suffictency. The pavement's condition and drainage maintenance are included in category 1. The objective of this work is to determine a sufficiency A true sufficiency rating for all rating for the major tharoughfares, facets of street operations must include the categories of functional by adequacy and capacity. Analysis of these two areas must be provided the City staff to be included as part of this work. streets in urban In an effort to develop a sufficiency rating for areas, W.N. Carsten, Director of the Department of Traffic Control-in Dallas, Texas used the following elements: par Value 30 11 Structural adequacy 2) Functional adequacy 40 A. Design 10 B.

Lit_ e_ r_ awe Search Researchers will review publications and previous work done in the field of street inventory and sufficiency rating of streets. From the research a street inventory work sheet will be designed for compiling field and office data. Task 2 Assemble Street Des1 n Informatio____ from City Records Researchers, aided by City staff, will search the City records for street specifications for the major thoroughfares to b3 surveyed. t width and thickness Information such $S a type of panent, pavemen, and estimated year of construction will ue documented. The City staff will be rosponsible for locating tho desired information which will include of each street. City staff will data on functional adequacy and capacity also be required to complete the portions of the inventory form, which Address the functional adequacy and capacity in preparation for the pre- test inventory. Researchers will compile this data for the remainder of w°g .t"6.~ T y r tt the streets to be inventoried after the pre-test* sets for Inventor Task 3• pesi Inventor Procedure and Select Streets on the literature search an inventory system cillfunc- tional to analyze the three categories of structural adequacy, adequacy, and capacity of the streets. A sufficiency rating will be determined based on Leis analysis' for improvement or those with The streets with the worst need ti low sufficiency rating will be inventoried first. Ta~ s Pr_ Test Inventor Procedures with ee Visit from office records, To confirm and add to the data collected a site visit will be necessary to gather field data for specific control sections of the street to be inventoried. The pre-test of the inventory procedures will determine if the inventory is adequate, and will give an estimate of the time required to perform the inventory. Task 5. Review of Results of Prey mtAr Inventory a_nd Ad ust Inventor When the control sections of the street have been evaluated for structural adequacy, functlarnal adequacy and capacity, the points accumu- lated in each category may be compared to'give a relative ranking in each section. If the inventory is found to be adequate in certain areas, adjustment will be made to reflect as closely as possible the actual con- dition of the streey$ Task 6.

I analyzed the Alternatives available to Boulder County For Flood Plain Management. I developed rind recommended to the County Commissioners the County's priorities in all four areas of flood plain management: delin- eation of the flood plain, adoption of flood Plain zoning, development of a flood control plan, and construction and implementation of the flood control plan. After the recommendations were adopted by the County Commissioners, I represented the county before regional, state and federal agencies which controlled funding for flood plain management programs. When the county received funding for floods plain management projects, I evaluated and analyzed the recommendations of consulting engineers hired by the regional agencies to conduct th-ea study. I then presented my recommendations to the County Convnissioners for adoption,. I evaluated for engineering impact., subdivision, zoning special use, and zoning change applications submitted to the county by private developers and governmental agencies. The analysis included drainage, transportation, water supply and sewage trer,trient. A written evaluation was fortitarded to the County Planning Dapartm(iot. I defended tha recommendations before the County Planning Cwmission and the County Comriissioners. I formulated the Engineering Department's proposals for the Annual State highway Recovoenaa,tiops submitted to the County Long Range Planning Com- mission an¢ }he County Commissioners, In formulating the recrAwiendations, I used tiff^,c velure maps based on information fron a traffic counting program l,designed: i I represented Bjulder County on the Tech;ticai Advisory Committee for both. the Denver Urh an Drainage and Flood Control District 'and 'the Boulder j Valley Transportation Plan' Element of the Regional Transportation District. i I seYved rs 11ai,on between the County Commissioner1 and the occupants, consultants, and contractors for an $B million c~Inetbls thepconsultantsy ' jail, law enforcement, and prosecutors offices, anal zed requests made by the occupants and proposals by and contractors for the County Commissioners, I calculated parking re- quirements and recommended to the County Comroitsfoners alternative co4irses of action for solving a parking problem, PROFrSSiONAL REGISTRAIION Registered Professional Engineer, Colorado (14512 PROFESSIONAL.
