CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
2011-2015
PROJECT TITLE: Federal Sign Reflectivity Mandate
TOTAL COST: $26,000.00
2011 BUDGET: $10,000.00 1 PROJECT CATEGORY: Minor equipment
DESCRIPTION: Federal mandate to inventory, test and replace signs based on reflectivity
JUSTIFICATION: JAccount Code: E101 -43120 -530
The State of Minnesota has adopted a new Federal Highway Administration's standards requiring agencies to
maintain traffic signs to a minimum level of retroreflectivity along all roads. Agencies have until January 2012 to
establish and implement a sign assessment and management method, including an inventory of the signs.
Furthermore, the compliance date for meeting retroreflectivity requirements on all regulatory, warning and grond-
mounted guide signs is January 2015. For overhead guide signs and street name signs, the compliance date is
January 2018. Staff is aware of the sign condition and the age of the signs within City .limits. Currently, staff
replaces signs as needed. As signs are replaced to meet retroreflectivity, Staff will look at combining street signs
with stop signs on intersections to reduce the number of sign posts. New posts and hardware will be needed to
combine signs to one post. With the condition, age, and number of signs within City limits, Staff is requesting to
hire a seasonal worker for the summer of 2011 to free up current staff to begin the assessment and reflectivity
testing process. An additional $3,230 is recommended to add to the budget for a seasonal staff to assist with the
workload. Database base updates will be completed by SEH.
