General Information Regarding Public Facilities Projects

  • Only one utility system can be included in each application.
  • “There may also be instances whereby a municipality wishes to

extend its utility system to an adjacent, unincorporated neighborhood or street(s); this type of instance will require annexation of the unincorporated area prior to the closeout of the grant (if the main purpose or majority of the project’s scope of work is to extend the system).” Annual Action Plan, Section II.B.1.

slide-19
SLIDE 19

The maximum points available for all PF categories (sewer, water and streets) is 63.

Severity is 50 points.

Severity is 79% of your total points.

Streets

We have teams (at least 2 people) that ride the streets. What do we look for? CRACKING: transverse, longitudinal, shrinkage, fatigue, reflection, edge DISTORTION: rutting, corrugations, shoving, depressions, upheaval DISINTEGRATION: potholes, patch deterioration, raveling Light: 1 - 5; Moderately light: 6 - 10; Moderate: 11 - 15; Moderately severe: 16 - 20; Severe: 21 - 25 Total Field Score 100 (the divided by 2 to get Severity) Overall Ride Quality
