County Project KIL 1 2015 - Bay Haven - Seaside - Dove Creek Estates Roadway and Drainage Improvements Project, Dove Key, Monroe County Project Understanding |tisour understanding that the County wishes 0mhave EAC perform milling and resurfacing, roadway widening, and asphalt overlay or pavement reconstruction on most of the roadways within the Bay Haven -Seaside -Dove Creek Estates. The County has performed assessment on all the roadways that are part of this project using the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) criterion. Our understanding is that the assessment assumes that roadways with a PCI of 50 or greater will require either asphalt overlay or milling and resurfacing while roadway with a PCI of less that 50 will require reconstruction. In addition, most of the roadwails are flat in cross TakeTziIWe crowns and therefore establishing roadways crowns will be a part of this project, The County would like to bring the existing roadway width up to the standard as much as possible without impacting the adjacent wetlands. The table with anticipated roadways to be widened has been attached to this proposal. The County also wishes to provide drainage in the form of french drains where possible. EAC will design french drain systems to address water quality and/or the runoff from the 5-year 1-day storm where feasible and to the greatest extent possible, while avoiding impacts to adjacent wetlands.
