costs from the Federal program. Our application, which was completed in- house, will be reviewed by the District 7W Transportation Advisory Committee later this winter. Schedule If this project is selected for funding, we will begin the process to solicit proposals for the completion of the Federal Project Memorandum, plans, and specifications. This project would then be ready for construction in 2012 or 2013. 3) Pavement Management We have completed the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) evaluations on about'/a (500) of the street segments within the City. We collect and record about 30 separate pieces of information on each street segment through these evaluations. The snow has stopped our pavement evaluations for the remainder of the season. Schedule We will continue to evaluate pavements when the conditions in the spring allow. When the evaluations are complete we will begin to prioritize the maintenance, repairs and reconstruction of streets based on their PCI ranking and need in relation to all other segments within the city. Our goal is to have the segments prioritized in time for the 2012 CIP update. 4) 2011 Street and Utility Improvements This project includes the reconstruction of the streets generally located south of Main Street, east of the railroad, and west of Carson Street. The proposed improvements in this area would be a general widening of the roads to a minimum of 26-feet. Freeport and Evans, for the first block south of Main Street, would need to be wider to accommodate the on-street parking that often overflows from the commercial buildings located on Main Street. A storm sewer piping system would be extended into the area from the intersection of Main Street and Evans Avenue to pick up runoff that in the past has caused isolated flooding problems. There are no anticipated sanitary sewer improvements necessary and only minor hydrant replacement and relocations anticipated on the water system. This project was originally planned for construction in 2009 with special assessments estimated at that time to be $6,500 per single-family house. Current assessment estimates will be determined as this project moves forward. Also included in the project is the overlaying and reconstruction of Industrial Boulevard, 192"d Court, and Triangle Road. This project was originally proposed to be completed in 2010, but was not constructed due to the high cost of the assessments. We will be reevaluating the project costs along these segments. We are proposing to fund a portion of the project with State Aid funds in an effort to reduce the amount to be assessed against the benefitting properties.
