• Maintenance and Preservation: Routine and ongoing activities to keep roads and bridges in good physical condition and to ensure utility of public assets. This includes gravel roads, paved roads, super /sub-structure annual repairs, traffic control, street lighting, snow and ice control, street cleaning, and vegetation control. • Other Operations: This includes flood control, extraordinary operations, maintenance for drainage and irrigation, maintenance for parks and recreation, reimbursable work, inter-departmental work, Road Improvement District expenditures, and transfers out to Equipment Replacement and Repair. The historical operating expenses shown in Exhibit 6 are projected forward using different approaches, as described in Exhibit l 0. Exhibit 10. Projection Approaches for Future Operating Expenditures MAINTENANCE AND PRESERVATION EXPENDITURES OPERATING EXPENDITURES These expenses are captured by the Recommended Maintenance and Preservation Expenditures list, developed by Fehr and Peers with the County as part of the 20-Year Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element update. This list addresses recommended maintenance and preservation costs that keep roads and bridges in a good state of repair. Note that these costs do not include the $20 million for bridge replacements that are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete and the $41.5 million for bridges past their useful life (75 years per the Washington State Department of Transportation standard). For these project costs, see the separate capital projects list. The future annual investment for maintenance and preservation is estimated at $4.85 million. The full cost over 20 years is $97 million. • Gravel (gravel roads) • Maintenance (including super/ sub-structure annual repairs) • Preservation (paved roads) • Traffic Control • Street Lighting • Snow and Ice Control • Street Cleaning • Vegetation Control These expenses address the costs of operations, and they are projected based on the rate of change of per capita operating expenses over the historical period. Engineering costs are calculated based on the historical trend from 2008-2016, then projected forward from 2017, due to a significant jump between 201 6 and 2017. There are two exceptions: Facility Operations were projected based on average per capita operating expenses over the last 5 years due to a jump in expenses in 2013. Other Operations were projected based on average per capita operating expenses over the last 1 0 years due to the volatility of the sub- categories. Total projected operating expenditures over the 20- year period are $73 million. • Administration and Overhead • Engineering • Planning • Facility Operations • Other Operations Sources: Kittitas County Public Works 201 8; BERK Consulting 2018; Fehr and Peers 20 l 8. : ~I I May 22, 20 l 8 Kittitas County Public Works I 20-Year TIP Fiscal Sustainability Strategy: Final Report 12
