Marlborough District Council Roading Assets - Activity Management Plan 2015 - 2018 SECTION 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Length of Resurfacing Undertaken Figure 6.1.8a The current RAMM database Forward Works Programme shows the following quantities of resurfacing required to be completed in the future; Length of Resurfacing Programmed Figure 6.1.8b This graph is based on underpinned quantities and current financial constraints and does not necessarily align with the FWP in RAMM. The RAMM FWP exhibits the typical ‘bow wave’ of resurfacing in the first three years which is not realistic. The RAMM FWP is undergoing review to ‘even out the FWP This area requires further work and has been noted in the Improvement Plan in Section 14. 1.6.1.8.1 Resurfacing Service Options Similar to pavement, by running various scenarios available under the dTIMs modelling package, Council is able to determine the effects on the asset condition. These options show the same outcomes of changes in budget allocations as already discussed above. Considering the sealed pavement as a complete asset (both surface and pavement) modelling shows the following; i. Do nothing differently - continuing with the existing budget is likely to see a decline in the asset as the effect of escalation and retendered contract rates will erode the quantum of work that can be affected by a static budget. ii. Status Quo – the existing asset is in a reasonable ‘fit for purpose’ condition and it is desirable to maintain it in its current condition. This will require an increasing budget to cover escalation and the likely increase in contract rates when the maintenance contracts are retendered during the life of this AMP. 30 September 2014 Page 44 of Section 1
