Long Term Planning and Infrastructure Maintenance (Wayne <br /> Masoner & Jeff Lankston) <br /> • Design with specific lifespan and replacement plan including budget, <br /> resources <br /> • More realistic scope of projects and the true cost <br /> • Consulting maintenance for actual maintenance costs <br /> • Use in -house consultants instead of farming it out <br /> • Checks and balances <br /> • Plan check by effected team at team meeting on process <br /> • Plan check by effected team at team meeting on process <br /> • Reporting back to author when you find errors an omissions feedback and <br /> follow through <br /> Public Works Maintenance has two technicians that perform plan reviews for the <br /> Engineering Department for Public Improvements and the Permit Engineering <br /> Department for the Privately Engineered Public Improvements. These technicians <br /> perform plan review to provide recommendations to the departments to ensure that the <br /> proposed infrastructure can be maintained by the Maintenance Division <br /> Public Works Maintenance (PWM) Surface Technical Team works with the City's <br /> Engineering Division to ensure that Capitol Improvement Project (CIP) and privately <br /> engineered designs meet maintenance standards for maintainability, efficiency, and <br /> effectiveness. Staff from the PWM's Surface Technical Team attend Engineering project <br /> scoping meetings at the beginning of each project and meet weekly with Public Works <br /> Engineering (PWE) Land Use Review Survey (LURS) Team staff to review private land <br /> use development proposals. Together the combined staff teams review the sites and the <br /> existing City infrastructure for completeness, failures, and provisions for future <br /> improvements. PWM Surface Techs then review the proposed public improvement <br /> designs to ensure that the infrastructure can be efficiently and effectively accessed by <br /> Maintenance equipment without compromising traffic and pedestrian safety. <br /> To ensure that maintenance needs are met, PWM Surface Techs review and make <br /> recommendations on all Engineering CIP plans during the 30 %, 60% and 90% <br /> completion stage. These reviews result in design changes to reduce risks from traffic <br /> during maintenance operations and to increase operational efficiency. <br /> PWM staff is members of the City of Eugene APWA/Eugene Specifications committee. <br /> At the end of each construction season and prior to the new Engineering design season <br /> PWM staff review specifications and detailed drawings for compliance, maintenance <br /> compatibility, and operational efficiency. These reviews result in changes to the <br /> specifications and amendments to adopted documents. <br /> PWM Surface Techs work with PWE PEPI staff to reviewing Privately Engineered <br /> Public Improvements (PEPI) plans to ensure that sanitary and storm infrastructure <br /> improvements meet maintenance standards and specs for installation/code compliance. <br /> 35 <br />
