PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED

* Amend the adopted 2024 Transportation Capital Improvement Program (CIP) budget.
SUMMARY
To provide a safe and efficient transportation system, Dakota County undertakes pavement preservation projects on an annual basis to maximize pavement life and minimize pavement life cycle costs. The Transportation Department utilizes a pavement management program to identify pavement segments and the most appropriate pavement preservation treatments on an annual basis. This year's projects are proposed to include crack sealing and micro-surfacing. These projects are scheduled to begin in mid-May and be completed by August 31, 2024.
The crack sealing projects are located on nine County Highway segments. Temperature changes have caused slight cracks on these roadways to expand, and it is timely now to seal these cracks to extend the life of the pavement. The project will cover approximately 18 miles of County highways. The micro-surfacing is located on County Highway 54 for approximately 6.5 miles. Sealing and micro-surfacing cracks before they become too severe are a cost-effective method to prolong the life of the roadways.
