Level of Service

2. Response times detailed in the relevant Risk Matrix are in addition to the three days allowed for processing complaints through the city's customer service system. Once a defect has been made safe the "Risk" will be assessed to determine the correct/modified response time.

Response Times

3. Where a risk ranking approach with a corresponding response time has been adopted, this will form the basis of the Performance Standard for the nominated Activity. In all other cases the Performance Standard for that Activity will apply subject to the provisions of TSG.03/2.

4. Council will make every endeavor to meet all aspects of its Road Management Plan However, in the event of natural disasters and other events including, but not limited to, fires, floods, droughts and the like, together with human factors, such as a lack of Council staff or suitably qualified Contractors, because of Section 83 of the Victorian Wrongs Act, 1958, as amended, Council reserves the right to suspend compliance with its Road Management Plan.

ACTIVITY SPECIFICATION CRACK SEALING PCS


This activity covers the cleaning and filling of cracks or joints in pavements to make the surface water resistant. This type of work is usually undertaken on concrete, asphalt or bitumen sealed surfaces. It includes temporary reinstatement of line marking where necessary. Crocodile cracking with no deformation or pumping of fines on asphalt pavements is excluded from this activity except where the distress is very localised and readily treated. Crack sealing is generally carried out using liquid bituminous sealants.


Cracking including the following types:- block, crescent shaped, crocodile, diagonal, longitudinal, meandering, transverse.


Water ingress into pavement layers is detrimental to pavement structural performance and accordingly crack sealing is carried out to prevent the entry of water and debris which can lead to surface and pavement and/or subgrade failures.


Appropriate treatments shall be used to allow suitable infill rather than surface "bridging" of cracks. Surface finish should be uniform and "level" with the road surface and shall be "blinded" to prevent pick up by vehicle tyres or "tracking" by pedestrians. The resultant surface should provide a water resistant layer to protect the pavement layers from surface infiltration of water.

ACTIVITY SPECIFICATION EMERGENCY PAVEMENT REPAIRS PER


This activity covers short notice pavement repairs required for safety reasons. The work may be temporary if circumstances require. The use of this code is reserved for emergencies that involve damage to the pavement e.g. major pothole, collapsed culvert, collapsed floodway, burst water main, slippery surfacing or "flushing" surfacing. Activity PER may often result from emergency call out (Activity MEC).


Potholes, delamination, patches, depressions or "flushing" causing a reported significant safety hazard.


The work is typically required to repair potholed or failed pavement that is a safety hazard. This activity is only utilised when the works are required on short notice under emergency conditions. The principle reason for the activity is to re-establish a safe road pavement.


The work should allow the road to remain open to traffic providing a safe condition under the prevailing conditions of weather, traffic volume, and any speed zone applicable. The work shall provide safe conditions until a permanent repair is undertaken and may require more than one operation. Response times based on Risk Assessment as per Attachment 4

ACTIVITY SPECIFICATION PATCHING - MINOR PMP


This activity covers the repair of minor pavement failures. Minor failures comprise areas greater than 0.25m

2 and less than

25m2. Minor patching is defined independently of the depth of repair. Typically the pavement is deformed and/or cracked

due to poor construction or a weak subgrade or pavement layer, often associated with water ingress.


Rutting, shoving, crocodile cracking and pavement failures.


The road surface and pavement are to provide stable and safe conditions for the travelling public. The surface should provide a seal against water ingress, whilst the pavement provides adequate support to vehicles and adequate ride quality.


Pavement layers utilised are to comply with the adjacent pavement as a minimum standard and will meet Council materials specifications. Similarly surfacing is to comply with the adjacent roadway and Council specifications. Permeability: The surfacing should endeavour to provide a uniform water resistant layer to protect the pavement layers

from surface infiltration of moisture.

ACTIVITY SPECIFICATION EDGE BREAK REPAIR SEB


This activity covers the repair of broken edges of seal or asphalt surfaced pavements. The repair aims to restore the line and level of the original surfacing. Edge repair may involve restoration utilising gravel and asphalt or coldmix, or bituminous seal with fine aggregate. Edge break distress is not encountered in roads where the surfacing extends to a kerb and channel. Edge break repair refers to activities on both sealed roads with unsealed shoulders and sealed roads with sealed shoulders.


Cracking, edge break, edge drop off, shoving.


The edge of seal or asphalt should be free of excessive fretting of the surfaced width and erosion that will encourage water ingress into the pavement and result in unsafe ride quality for vehicles forced to use this part of the carriageway.


Permeability: • The surfacing within 200mm of the edge should exhibit at least equivalent water resistance to the rest of

the surfaced pavement. Ride Quality: • Longitudinally the edge should comply with a 1.2m straight edge test result less than ± 20mm. • Shoulder and seal to be flush without any drop off.

ACTIVITY SPECIFICATION GRADING UNSEALED SHOULDERS SGU


This activity covers the grading of unsealed shoulders. The activity includes rolling after grading and the inclusion of water if this is deemed necessary. This activity also includes spot filling, grading and reshaping to correct drop off from edge of seal, roughness, scouring or potholing and holding of water. This activity also includes the provision of imported granular overlay material on unsealed shoulders and the grading and compaction of this material as a resheet.


Edge break, edge drop off excessive shoulder cross fall and shoulder rutting.


The activity aims to improve the facility provided by the shoulder for occasional traffic use and its function as a drainage path for runoff drainage from the carriageway. The activity ensures the elimination of "drop off" at the edge of seal or asphalt.


The performance standards include: Lateral Drainage: Crossfall on straights is to be between 3% and 6% directly after grading and the increase of

crossfall from the standard 3% is to be minimised. Surface Defects: The surface is to be tight, compact and free of defects in shape or soft spots. Shape: Throughout the length the shape of the shoulder will be continuous with the sealed pavement

and reflect the superelevation or crossfall of that pavement (except for the outside of kerbs due to terrain difficulties) such that grass or silt build up will not hold up water.

Level of the Shoulder The shoulder should not be allowed to be higher than the edge of the seal, as the water that would be held back on the edge of the seal could cause saturation of the pavement edge on flat grades, and erosion on steeper grades.

Daily Output The section of shoulder to be worked on should be confined to that which can be completed in a day. If traffic flow is high, the length should be reduced to minimise inconvenience to motorists.

Work Notes

Report to the Team Leader

• if there is a need for extra material overall or at isolated locations such as scours etc.



Windrows

• The action of grading results in a quantity of material being deposited on the edge of the seal in the form of a windrow, which can be a hazard to traffic and can create surface drainage problems.

• A windrow along the outer edge of the shoulder can develop from the practice of grading without removing the guideposts, and can prevent water from reaching table drains. This can be eased by providing carefully located openings at suitable intervals, but may eventually require that the guide posts be removed to allow a full width cut.

Level of the Shoulder

The shoulder should not be allowed to be higher than the edge of the seal, as the water that would be held back on the edge of the seal could cause saturation of the pavement edge on flat grades, and erosion on steeper grades.

Daily Output

The section of shoulder graded should be confined to that which can be completed in a day. If traffic flow is high, the length should be reduced to minimise inconvenience to motorists.

Roadside Furniture

Guideposts and any other items of roadside furniture that are removed or displaced from their normal positions during grading operations should be promptly replaced.

reading of zero Guidelines for Reactive Calibration gases

As more unstabled gases are used to calibrate the instrument, the following gases require special handling by the user to maintain their stability: a. Chlorine (CL2) b. Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) c. Nitric Oxide (NO) d. Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) e. Hydrogen cyanide (HCN)

These calibration gas cylinders containing these reactive gas mintures are subject to contamination from the sampling system, atmospheric moisture, and oxygen. The following general instruction will aid in eliminating common operator errors when supplied- pressure regulations. a. Before attaching the regulator to the RP cylinder, make sure the regulator’s ON/OFF

knob is turned ON. Once the regulator is fully engages in the cylinder, turn the regulator knob OFF until ready to use. This procedure will help prevent tapped atmospheric air in the regulator from being injected into the cylinder.

b. Do no store your cylinders with the regulator engaged in the cylinder valve. Use the cylinder’s primary sealing mechanism, the built-in valve, to ensure product quality. The regulator is not designed to be a primary sealing mechanism against product contamination.

c. Do not over tighten the regulator ON/OFF After the regulator is turned OFF, it takes a few seconds for the flow to stop because the pressure in the regulator body is being relieved.

d. Always store cylinders in a clean, cool, and dry area. e. Unused cylinders are less subject to degradation over time than used cylinders.

Whenever possible, finish a used cylinder before using a new cylinder. 3. Remove the zero plug from the inlet fitting. 4. Attach the flow control to the calibration gas tank 5. Screw the calibration plug to the inlet fitting 6. Attach the tubing to the plug and flow control 7. Open the flow control valve 8. After approximately 3 minutes, the meter should be stable and indicating within the

acceptable range for the calibration gas used. Adjust the SPAN control at the Control Unit, if necessary, to obtain 40 on the meter. See the instrument Instruction Manual for complete calibration details.

9. Close the flow control calve. 10. Disconnect the tubing from the flow control and plug 11. Remove the calibration plug from the inlet fitting. 12. Remove the flow control from the calibration gas tank.

• There shall be no evidence that the service is leaking.

HP2 :

• A final pass of the compaction equipment shall leave no impression on the surface of the patch.



Work Notes Leaking Service If there is any evidence that the service is leaking (eg water seepage, smell of gas, etc), the Maintenance Officer must be informed, and action taken to repair the service before any further work is carried out. Pavement Material Material used for the base should be similar to the existing base material. The material should be placed in compacted layers no more than 150mm deep, with the surface no greater than 50mm below the road surface level. Surface Material

The surface patching material should be placed and compacted so as to finish flush with the surrounding pavement surface.

5. Place the new material on the shoulder and water, grade and compact to match the existing seal, and maintaining a correct crossfall.

6. HP1Check the work against the Work Standard.

7. Sweep loose material off the pavement surface.

8. Replace guideposts.

9. Erect ‘soft edge’ signs.( if required )




Work Standard

HP1 :

• The finished surface of the shoulder at the edge of seal shall be tight and even, and within +0 to -10mm of the height of the seal.

• Shoulder cross fall shall be within +0 to -5% when compared to the adjacent seal.

• No loose material shall be left on the sealed carriageway.

• The table drain shall be clear of obstruction, adequately graded and readily accessible to surface drainage.

Work Notes

Level of the Shoulder

The shoulder should not be allowed to be higher than the edge of the seal, as the water that would be held back on the edge of the seal could cause saturation of the pavement edge on flat grades, and erosion on steeper grades.

Roadside Furniture

Guideposts and any other items of roadside furniture that are removed or displaced from their normal positions during resheeting operations should be promptly replaced.

Safety Precautions

Only one side of the road should be worked on at any one time, and the length treated should take into account the safety and convenience of both the travelling public and the road crew.

When operating the road broom, care should be taken to minimise the dust hazard.

Appendix A

Unsealed Road, Fire Access Track, Unsealed Road Shoulder and Gravel Car Park Maintenance and Renewal Program

General Approach (Maintenance Activities): Planned grading to be on a ‘geographical area’ basis so that unsealed car parks works are coordinated with works on unsealed roads and unsealed shoulders of sealed roads in the same area where possible, using maps adapted from those used for street sweeping (existing maps may need extending or additional maps created for remote areas where no mechanical sweeping is done):

• Full width gravel Roads: 3 x planned gradings per annum, plus additional reactive grading and patching as required for major washouts etc, as per RMP interventions/monthly audit results;

• Gravel Car Parks: 3 x planned gradings per annum, plus additional reactive grading and patching as required for major washouts etc, as per RMP interventions/monthly audit results;

• Gravel Shoulders on Sealed Roads: 1 planned grading per annum, plus additional reactive grading and patching as required for major washouts etc, as per RMP interventions/monthly audit results. Shoulders within a map zone shall be divided into 3 sub groups of roughly equal proportions, with a different sub group graded each time the car parks and unsealed roads are done in that zone;

• Fire Access Tracks: 1 x planned grading per annum, as per Municipal Fire Prevention Plan. If infrequently used unsealed roads/car parks are found to consistently not require work at their planned visit, they may have their grading frequency lowered to an absolute minimum of once per year. General Approach (Renewal Activities):

• Full width gravel Roads: All Roads to be completely re-sheeted (including full depth and width material removal and replacement and subgrade re-shaping) as per the planned 10-year, area-based rolling cycle in this Appendix, with:

o High-use/damage roads re-sheeted on a more frequent cycle, based on the periodic condition audit results. Within the allocated annual budget, high use roads warranting more frequent re-sheeting as per assessed condition will only be re-sheeted for the portions which require it, and will displace the best condition other roads on the re-sheet list for that year onto the ‘next year’ program:


o Existing material retained and recycled only if meeting ARRB Unsealed Roads Maintenance Manual recommended specification. On

site material addition and mixing to be considered where existing material is reasonably close to optimal;

o Re-sheeting only to be deferred for a given road in its designated re-sheet year where Condition Assessment confirms that no noticeable degradation has occurred from required standard, and traffic volumes are low and stable. Such Roads may be deferred 3 years or until next Condition Assessment

o Roughly the same square meterage done per annum. As and when Unsealed Roads are constructed as Sealed Roads, the program

shall be revised accordingly and the formerly Unsealed Road removed from the renewal and maintenance programs.

o Road re-sheet works to be done an area basis, to coordinate with unsealed Car park re-sheet projects in the same area, where possible.

• Gravel Car Parks: All Car Parks to be completely re-sheeted (including full depth material removal and replacement and subgrade re-shaping) as per the planned 10-year, area-based rolling cycle in this Appendix, with:

o High-use/damage Car Parks re-sheeted on a more frequent cycle, based on the periodic condition audit results. Within the allocated annual budget, high use Car parks warranting more frequent re-sheeting as per assessed condition will only be re-sheeted for the portions which require it, and will displace the best condition other Car parks on the re-sheet list for that year onto the ‘next year’ program;

o Existing material retained and recycled only if meeting ARRB Unsealed Roads Maintenance Manual recommended specification. On

site material addition and mixing to be considered where existing material is reasonably close to optimal;

o Re-sheeting only to be deferred for a given Car Park in its designated re-sheet year where Condition Assessment confirms that no noticeable degradation has occurred from required standard, and traffic volumes are low and stable. Such Car Parks may be deferred 3 years or until next Condition Assessment.

o Roughly the same square meterage done per annum. As and when Unsealed Car Parks are constructed as Sealed Car Parks, the

program shall be revised accordingly and the formerly Unsealed Car Park removed from the renewal and maintenance programs.

o Car Park re-sheet works to be done an area basis, to coordinate with unsealed road re-sheet projects in the same area, where possible.


• Gravel Shoulders on Sealed Roads: No pre-planned annual re-sheet program. Re-sheeting to be done reactively via RMP monthly audits unless over time this proves to be inadequate;

• Fire Access Tracks: No planned renewal or additional material imported except in the case of major wash-outs as at annual grading program.

Only rectify to a standard to enable 4WD or fire fighting vehicle access.

The following car parks require further investigation in order to clarify their existence/ownership and sweeping needs, as they were previously identified in car park defect assessments:

• Evans Street Car Park, Sunbury (ID 50) • Jack Culpin Reserve, Blair Street Dallas (ID 115). • There are also a number of car parks listed in hard copy sheets kept by drivers. These need cross checking with the list above, and with the “shoping

centre” lists (see below) • Regular Private works clients are not listed above, given that they may choose to use other providers, and/or Council may choose to decline such work if too

busy – these will entail car parks and associated access roads/lanes. Road Sweeping: Industrial areas: locations and frequencies yet to be determined. Schedules developed are to ensure private/body corporate roads and car parks are NOT included except under approved fully commercial arrangements. Residential street sweeping: All roads on current Council Register of Public Roads that have kerb and channel to be swept on a cycle of 6 weeks minimum, 10 weeks maximum (until determined otherwise), with additional reactive sweeping for audit/requests as per RMP intervention timeframes. Private street/body corporate roads and car parks are NOT included except under approved fully commercial arrangements. Roads and lanes adjacent to Shops: locations and cycles to be determined once full list reconciled against records in operators hard copy forms, car park list above, list of locations in Procedure HWEWI 920, and other shop locations nominated by Economic Development team. Other: Designated roads in HCC road hierarchy may be allocated a higher level of service. Some roads will contain centre medians which require sweeping as well. VicRoads arterial roads to be swept as per management framework locations and frequencies (refer Appendix B)

The following roads need their status clarifying - they are VicRoads Arterial Roads but are not on

the VicRoads sweeping program (they mostly have unsealed shoulders but need a joint HCC/VicRoads field check to verify status and requirements/funding)

Road Name Suburb Total VicRoads Length

Comment

Bulla Road Jacksons Creek 2.79 HCC records on K&C only cover HCC section. Mainly unsealed shoulder

Donnybrook Road Mickleham 5.6 HCC records appear to show no K&C but worth checking anyway, as may only cover HCC section

Melbourne-Lancefield Rd

Sunbury 21.21 No HCC records on K&C either way

Oaklands Road Bulla 1.69 Appears to have unsealed shoulders but HCC records only cover HCC section of the road
