2SECTION 1 – INTRODUCTION
The following report is presented as an addendum to the 2018 Pavement Management Report developed
by the Agawam Department of Public Works (DPW) and the Engineering Division. Unless otherwise noted,
the information within this addendum shall supersede the information published in the 2018 Pavement
Management Report and all previous addendums including, but not limited to: methods of project
selection and prioritization, types of pavement treatments, funding sources, lists of current and future
paving projects, and calculated and estimated costs of paving projects.
All pavement repairs, resurfacing, and reconstruction activities will be collectively referred to as
“pavement maintenance” throughout this addendum.
The overall goal of our pavement management program is to use funding as efficiently as possible while
being fair to all residents and to distribute improvements in a balanced manner throughout the Town
using standard practices and engineering analysis. The pavement management program has been
evolving over the years as the Town continues to introduce proven and innovative preventative
maintenance techniques to preserve the condition of newly resurfaced roads while incorporating ADA
compliant pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities into street designs per Agawam’s Complete Streets
Policy.
SECTION 2 – PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT HISTORY
See Section 2 of the 2018 Pavement Management Report.
SECTION 3 – STREET SELECTION PROCESS
See Section 3 of the 2018 Pavement Management Report.
SECTION 4 – TYPES OF PAVEMENT TREATMENTS
All the pavement treatments the Town currently utilizes to repair and maintain its network of roads can
be classified into one of three categories: rehabilitation, reconstruction, and preventative maintenance.
4A REHABILITATION PROJECTS
Rehabilitation treatments are enhancements performed on a street where the top course of pavement
has suffered damage, but the binder course and sub-base are still in good condition. Rehabilitation
treatments restore the structural strength of the pavement and extend the service life of a damaged road
in one of two ways:
1. The removal and replacement of the deteriorated pavement surface
2. Increasing pavement thickness
Shim
A shim is a thin layer of Hot Mix Asphalt – usually about one inch – that is applied to the existing surface
of a road. Shims are cheaper than other resurfacing treatments, but they are only used as temporary
treatments as they wear away very easily. Shim work is not reimbursable through the state Chapter 90
funding program. The Town has used shims in situations where a road may be in poor condition, but the
Town cannot provide a more permanent fix either because the available funds for road maintenance have
already been allocated to other projects for that construction season or because the Town has already
3scheduled a larger project for that road to be completed in the near future that would include the
installation of a new pavement surface.
Overlay
An overlay is a layer of Hot Mix Asphalt that is thicker than a shim – usually one and a half inches thick –
applied to the surface of an existing road. Overlays provide a sturdier, longer-lasting treatment than shims
and are less expensive than milling or reclamation. Overlays are typically used when cracks in the existing
pavement cannot be fixed with sealant because they are too thin for the sealant to get into and too
extensive throughout the pavement.
Before installing an overlay, a tack coat must be applied. Tack is a liquid tar that acts as glue, allowing the
new pavement to bond to the existing old pavement, preventing the new pavement from being pulled up
during compaction.
If the existing pavement shows evidence of deep potholes, rutting, depressions, heaving or other signs of
roughness, a leveling course should be applied before the overlay. A leveling course is an extra overlay
layer that is used to fill any holes or low points in the road so that the final overlay can be applied on a
smooth surface.
Overlays increase the elevation of the road which reduces the height of the curb and could potentially
create lips in driveways, blocking stormwater runoff and causing flooding at the driveway aprons. Also,
cracks in the base course will reflect through to the new surface after a few years. For these reasons,
Agawam typically combines milling with overlay treatments.
Mill and Overlay
Milling refers to removing the top 1 ½ - 2 inches of existing pavement from a road before installing an
overlay layer. Milling is used on roads which have extensive cracking within the surface course of the road
and have a low to moderate quantity and severity of distortions that cannot be smoothed out with a
leveling course. In order to be a candidate for milling, the street must have a binder course and gravel
sub-base that is still in good condition.
Milling a road before an overlay helps to maintain the existing elevation of the road rather than raising it
up. This prevents ridges from forming in front of driveways and along the edges of roads without curbing,
allowing stormwater runoff to flow freely onto the pavement and preventing off-street flooding. The
overall profile of a road remains the same after a mill and overlay is installed. Thus, flooding problems
caused by flat stretches of pavement that prevent stormwater from flowing down the street cannot be
fixed with a Mill and Overlay. However, a new road crown can be established with the overlay, pushing
stormwater out of the vehicle wheel path and towards the road edges, helping to prevent skidding during
wet weather. This also will increase the longevity of the road surface as stormwater will drain off the
road, reducing deterioration from freeze/thaw conditions.
Streets that experience a high flow of heavy truck traffic may require a SAMI layer (Street Absorbing
Membrane Interlayer) to be installed after the street is milled and before the overlay is applied. SAMI is
a layer of stone approximately 3/8 – 1/2 inches thick which is used as a waterproof sealant between the
old and new pavement. The SAMI layer absorbs stress from heavy loads, such as dump trucks and tractor
trailers, reducing cracking in the new pavement. The SAMI can also help reduce reflective cracking caused
by cracks in the underlying street binder course.
44B RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Reconstruction involves the removal or demolition of all existing pavement layers on a street and the
installation of new pavement over a compacted gravel sub-base. Reconstruction may utilize either new
or recycled materials incorporated into the asphalt mix used for the installation of the new pavement
section. Reconstruction is appropriate when a pavement surface has suffered extensive deterioration that
extends into the binder course and possibly the sub-base of the street and cannot be repaired with a Mill
and Overlay. Reconstruction is also necessary if a significant change in the vertical or horizontal alignment
of the road is required: for example, if a hill needs to be lowered to improve vehicle sight distance or if
the slope of a road needs to be increased to allow stormwater runoff to flow towards catch basins and
avoid flooding in the road.
Full Depth Reclamation
Full Depth Reclamation is a process in which the deteriorated street is pulverized for a depth of 9 – 12
inches which includes the entire existing pavement thickness plus a portion of the underlying gravel sub-
base. This pulverized material is blended together and recycled into a new homogeneous sub-base.
Calcium chloride is added to the new sub-base for stabilization before compaction. For all Full Depth
Reclamation projects, the Engineering Division needs to survey the project area several months before
and design the new road grades and elevations using AutoCAD. The Engineering Division will stake out
the proposed grades before the reclamation process starts and will work with the contractor to ensure
the grades are set properly. Once the new sub-base has been laid out to the proper grade, drainage and
sewer structures are adjusted and the new pavement is installed.
4C PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Prior to 2016, much of the pavement maintenance done within the Town had been on a “Worst First” or
“reactive” basis. That is, roads that are in the worst condition (often needing a Mill and Overlay or Full
Depth Reclamation) are repaired first. Conversely, roads in good condition and roads with minimal to
moderate damage have been overlooked and allowed to deteriorate to the point where they eventually
require expensive pavement maintenance treatments. This strategy creates a continuous cycle within the
Town where there is always a backlog of roads in poor condition to repair.
Preventative maintenance treatments are “proactive” treatments that are designed to preserve roads
which are still in good condition. This typically includes roads that have been recently paved and roads
with a minimal amount of cracking or raveling. Preserving the surface of such roads will extend their life
span, preventing them from deteriorating and saving the Town money on costly pavement treatments
(reconstruction and mill/overlay). All methods described throughout this report for the purpose of
preserving the condition of good roads shall be collectively referred to as “preventative maintenance”.
Crack Seal
Crack sealing is an easy and cost effective way to prevent more serious pavement damage and postpone
more costly street repairs. If left untreated, even small cracks can allow water to penetrate into the sub-
base of the road, causing additional cracking, potholes, depressions and/or stripping of the pavement
surface. If cracks are allowed to remain open during the winter, frozen water can widen existing cracks,
creating potential safety hazards that can damage vehicle tires or induce hydroplaning.
During the crack sealing process, compressed air is used to clean out any dirt, debris or water from cracks.
Then a heated asphalt compound is applied to the crack, filling the void within the pavement. The
5compound is allowed to overflow out of the crack creating a strip of asphalt two to four inches wide –
called an overband – which seals the crack and prevents water from re-entering the filled area. To prevent
vehicle traffic from pulling up the crack sealing material, a substance called Black Beauty is applied to the
crack seal compound. Black Beauty is a type of ash that is dusted over the crack sealed areas, preventing
the sealant from sticking to the rubber of vehicle tires, allowing immediate use of the road once the
sealing process is completed.
Fog Seal
A fog seal is a thin layer of liquid oil composed of asphalt, water and soap that is sprayed on the surface
of a street in order to prevent pavement raveling due to oxidization. As a road ages, it becomes stiff and
brittle, losing much of its strength. The top layer of pavement is gradually worn away as moving vehicles
dislodge pieces of asphalt stone from the street. A fog seal cannot fix raveling that has already occurred,
but it can rejuvenate the pavement, strengthen it and restore its flexibility, preventing additional raveling.
A fog seal is typically applied a few years after the road surface is installed.
Microsurface
A microsurface is similar to an overlay treatment; it is a layer of asphalt material that is applied to the
existing surface of a road to preserve pavement that has a slight to moderate amount of narrow cracking.
A Microsurface is much thinner than an overlay – approximately 3/8 inches in thickness.
Because the microsurface layer is so thin, it is not a treatment suitable for roads with significant rutting,
heaving or depressions as they would be reflected up through the surface of the new asphalt. Any such
damage must be repaired before a microsurface layer can be applied. Also, crack sealing should be
performed on the existing pavement prior to installing a microsurface to prevent reflective cracking.
Cape Seal
A cape seal is a surface treatment composed of two layers – a chip seal and a microsurface. A chip seal is
a surface layer composed of asphalt mixed with small gravel. The chip seal works similarly to a SAMI layer:
it provides a waterproof membrane that prevents moisture from damaging the street base and adds
flexibility to the road surface which helps prevent cracks from forming in the microsurface layer.
As with a microsurface layer, any rutting, heaving or depressions should be fixed before installation of the
cape seal. Also, any cracks within the existing pavement should be sealed before the cape seal is applied.
64D TREATMENT COSTS
An average cost comparison of different pavement treatments is shown below in Figure 1. In general, the
cost of any particular treatment is directly related to the estimated life span of said treatment.
Reconstruction treatments create roads that will last 15 years or more and tend to be the most expensive.
Conversely, Preventative Maintenance is less expensive than most other treatments, but is estimated to
last only a few years before additional treatment is necessary. Less expensive techniques are applied to
roads in good to fair condition to extend the life of a road before most costly treatments are required.
This way, the Town can maximize the pavement management budget to improve as many roads as
possible during the construction season.
The exact cost of any treatment fluctuates depending on the current cost of asphalt and the bid prices of
the contractor hired by the Town to perform the work. An approximate range of prices for each treatment
is listed in Table 1.

Contract. Costs for pavement treatments are subject to monthly fluctuations in the price of liquid asphalt
($625.00 per ton as of December, 2021). The estimated cost for Microsurface includes two surface
applications for additional strength and durability.
8The estimated costs listed in Table 1 do not include the following items:
Structure adjustment including catch basins, manholes & water gate boxes (typically needed for
Rehabilitation or Reconstruction projects)
Curbing installation
Lane markings

SECTION 5 – 2020 PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT BUDGET:
The cost of pavement maintenance can vary greatly year to year due to unpredictable price changes for
liquid asphalt – which is used to create Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) – and contract bid prices for the current
paving contractor employed by the Town. The procurement process for hiring a paving contractor must
follow the Massachusetts Chapter 30B Manual which requires the Town to hire the contractor that
presents the lowest bid.
In 2021 (FY 21-22), the pavement management budget included a combination of funds from the
MassDOT Chapter 90 program, the Agawam DPW budget and the Agawam Water & Sewer Department.
Available funds also included rollover from Chapter 90 funded projects that were completed under budget
and leftover monies from the previous year’s DPW pavement management budget.
In 2021 (FY 21-22), Agawam spent an estimated total of $1,101,940.69 on pavement maintenance.
Figures 3 & 4 below illustrate the distribution of pavement management funds spent in 2020 among
available funding sources and the types of projects completed.

In addition to the funds illustrated within the charts above, each year the Town budget allocates funding
for services and purchases associated with Highway Improvements. These funds are used to improve the
functionality of the transportation system in Town and include services such as, but not limited to:
Guardrail repair and replacement Traffic light repair and maintenance
Sign purchases Utility repair and maintenance
Pavement markings Street sweeping and catch basin
Police details for construction work cleaning
Landscaping and tree removal Sidewalk materials for DPW installation
Pothole repair

10SECTION 6 – 2021 PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROJECTS
This section describes the pavement management projects that were completed in 2021.
6A REHIBILITATION PROJECTS
1. Project: Mill Street (Springfield Street to Windermere Drive)
Street Type: Collector (1,000 – 3,000 vehicles per day)
Pavement Condition: Longitudinal cracking, Raveling
Treatment: Mill/SAMI/Overlay
Budgetary constraints prevented the Town from paving the entirety of Mill Street back in 2019,
so only the section from Suffield Street to Windermere Drive was done. The rest of Mill Street
was paved in 2021, improving the drivability of a major road and fixing the surface damage before
the pavement binder course was affected and reclamation was required. The replacement of
traffic loop detectors at the intersection of Mill Street and Poplar Street was included in this
project. The paving on Mill Street ended just before the entrance to Sacred Heart Church in order
to avoid the replacement of additional traffic loops and the removal of the cobblestones at that
location.
Funding Distribution:
Water Department Funds $4,925.00
Chapter 90 Funds $142,928.52
Total $147,853.52
2. Project: Columbus Street (Springfield Street to End)
Street Types: Place (0 – 100 vehicles per day)
Pavement Condition: Longitudinal and transverse cracking, Raveling, Potholes
Treatment: Mill/Overlay
The Town had received several complaints from residents about the condition of Columbus Street.
The water main within the street had recently been upgraded.
Funding Distribution:
Chapter 90 Funds $22,970.47
Total $22,970.47
3. Project: Fordham Avenue (Cambridge Street to Vassar Road)
Street Types: Lane (100 – 400 vehicles per day)
Pavement Condition: Longitudinal, transverse and fatigue cracking, Raveling
Treatment: Mill/Overlay
Fordham Avenue is part of a subdivision that is often used as a cut-through route from Springfield
Street to North Westfield Street. It is used by residents to circumvent the Feeding Hills Center
intersection. Due to the construction project at the Feeding Hills Center (which was completed
in early 2021), the Town anticipated that Fordham Avenue may have experienced higher than
normal traffic flow in recent years caused by an increase in residents utilizing the cut-through
path. This in turn would have hastened the deterioration of the street.
Funding Distribution:
Water Department Funds $200.00
Chapter 90 Funds $53,621.55
Total $53,821.55
14. Project: Yale Avenue (North Westfield Street to Cambridge Street)

Total $36,781.70
6. Project: Hamar Drive (South Westfield Street to Hamilton Circle)
Street Types: Lane (100 – 400 vehicles per day)
Pavement Condition: Fatigue Cracking, Rutting
Treatment: Mill/Overlay
Hamar Drive serves as an entrance to a subdivision where the Water Department had replaced
the water main in 2019-2021. The Town plans to perform a Full Depth Reclamation on the streets
within the subdivision, but the condition of Hamar Drive was not as bad as the other streets, so a
Mill/Overlay was performed rather than a Full Depth Reclamation.
Funding Distribution:
Water Department Funds $8,808.86
Total $8,808.86
26B RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
1. Project: Washington Avenue Extension (Suffield Street to Ramah Circle South)
Street Type: Lane (100 – 400 vehicles per day)
Pavement Condition: Raveling, Potholes
Treatment: Full Depth Reclamation
Although this road is short, it provides an often-used cut-through between Suffield Street and the
Ramah Circle/Walnut Street Extension businesses. The Hastie Fence warehouse is located on
Washington Avenue Extension, so this street often sees traffic from trucks and other heavy
equipment.
Funding Distribution:
Water Department Funds $515.00
Chapter 90 Funds $48,218.00
Local Funds $12,021.32
Total $60,754.32
2. Project: Monroe Street (Main Street to School Street)
Street Type: Lane (100 – 400 vehicles per day)
Pavement Condition: Longitudinal, transverse and fatigue cracking, Raveling, Potholes
Treatment: Full Depth Reclamation
The Town had received several complaints from residents about the condition of Monroe Street.
Also, the Town attempted to alleviate several flooded areas on Monroe Street caused by shallow
grading within the road.

5. Project: Woodside Drive (#10 Woodside Drive to Samuel Street)
Street Type: Place (0 – 100 vehicles per day)
Pavement Condition: Fatigue cracking, Raveling, Potholes
Treatment: Full Depth Reclamation
The Water Department had recently upgraded the water main within this section of Woodside
Drive. At first, the Town considered performing a Mill/Overlay. Pavement cores were performed
in four (4) separate locations to determine the depth and condition of the pavement. It was
determined that the depth of pavement on Woodside Drive was less than required by Town
standards (4.5 inches). Some areas of the street had only one (1) inch of pavement. A
Mill/Overlay would not be feasible.
Funding Distribution:
Water Department Funds $29,000.00
Local Funds $57,118.73
Total $86,118.73
6. Project: Samuel Street (Woodside Drive to Valentine Street)

7A PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT & STREET PRIORITIZATION
The Engineering Division is in the process of expanding our current pavement management system in
order to provide a more precise way to prioritize streets in need of maintenance or repair. Engineering
staff have attended seminars related to identifying different types of damage within the pavement surface
of a road as well as estimating the severity and extent of said damage. Based on this information, the
Engineering Division plans to create a scoring system to assign an OCI ranking number to each street,
similar to the system generated by the PAVEMENTView software used by PVPC (See Section 2 of the 2018
Pavement Management Report).
Traffic counting equipment will be utilized to develop a database of ADT numbers for Accepted roads.
Certain streets appear to have a low priority for maintenance because they are short residential roads.
However, some of these roads experience an above average amount of traffic because they are popular
cut-through routes. Residents use these cut-through routes to save time on commutes or to avoid
congested intersections. An updated ADT database will allow the Engineering Division to more accurately
determine which streets have the highest average daily traffic and thus, which ones will tend to
deteriorate quicker.
The DPW/Engineering Division is looking into several asset management software programs which would
help to better catalog information about our infrastructure network including OCI ranking, ADT, condition,
known areas of pavement damage, complaints received from residents and dates of previous repairs. The
Engineering Division has previously considered purchasing software from Cartegraph, but that program
requires expensive annual maintenance costs and the necessary funding was unavailable. VHB, Inc. and
several other regional engineering firms provide set-up, training, and one-time excel/GIS software based
pavement management programs. Engineering plans to meet with these firms to discuss their products
in the future.
67B FUTURE PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROJECTS
Pavement maintenance schedules are always subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances such as
emergency repairs, adjustments to the available budget and/or scheduling conflicts with paving
contractors or other Town projects. Table 3 shows the most current list of rehabilitation, reconstruction
and preventative maintenance projects for the 2022 construction season. A map showing the location of
each project listed in Table 3 is included in Appendix A.

7As part of our current pavement management practices, the Engineering Division has been maintaining a
catalog of streets in poor condition that require treatment. These streets were either inspected by
DPW/Engineering employees or recorded from complaints made by town residents.
Creating a definitive paving schedule past the current construction year is difficult since priorities often
change based on the street evaluation the DPW/Engineering Division performs every spring. Also, the
number of streets that can receive maintenance in any given year depends greatly upon the yearly
pavement maintenance budget which largely consists of Chapter 90 and local funding. The streets on
Tables 4, 5 & 6 are currently listed on the Town’s backlog record of streets requiring maintenance. Based
on estimated funds available for future budgets, work on the streets listed in Tables 4, 5 & 6 would extend
through to the year 2027.
Since the pavement maintenance schedule can change so frequently in any given year, it is difficult to
project a list of future streets for preventative maintenance. Future preventative maintenance projects
will be selected based on a year to year evaluation. The DPW will perform street inspections each spring
to determine which roads would most benefit from preventative maintenance.

The total amount of funds to be spent on Rehabilitation and Reconstruction projects in 2023-2027 is
estimated to be $5,869,900.
Appendix B includes a map showing the locations of each project listed in Tables 4, 5 & 6 above as well as
other streets that have been identified as requiring treatment, but have not yet been included within the
paving schedule.
Appendix C includes a breakdown of the projects listed in Tables 4, 5 & 6 per scheduled year of completion.
This list is preliminary and subject to change since street priorities and the pavement treatments
necessary to repair a particular street often change based on the road evaluations performed by the
DPW/Engineering Division. Also, the number of streets that can receive maintenance in any given year
depends greatly upon the yearly pavement maintenance budget.
The estimated costs listed in Tables 4, 5 & 6 include the work performed by vendors hired under the latest
Road, Driveway & Parking Lot Maintenance Materials and Services contract as well as the following:
Installation of road centerlines, fog lines, lane dividers and other pavement markings
Street sweeping
Police detail during construction
10The estimated costs listed in Tables 4, 5 & 6 are subject to change for a variety of reasons. A new Road
Maintenance contract will be put out to bid in 2023 which could result in different vendors with new bid
prices that are higher or lower than current prices. The price of liquid asphalt and gasoline is constantly
fluctuating, affecting the price of Hot-Mix Asphalt and mobilization fees charged by the pavement
contractors. If roads that require Rehabilitation treatments are not repaved in a timely manner, their
condition may deteriorate to the point where more expensive treatments are necessary. For example, if
a street that can be fixed with a Mill and Overlay is constantly being pushed back on the yearly schedule,
the street may require Full Depth Reclamation by the time the funding is available to perform the work.
117C STREET ACCEPTANCE
An accepted street, also called a public way, is defined as any highway, Town way, road, bridge, street,
avenue, boulevard, roadway, parkway, lane, sidewalk or square having been dedicated, accepted and
open to public use, as defined in the Agawam Bylaws Chapter 1-2: General Provisions, Section B. Plans of
accepted streets are kept on record at both the DPW and the Hampden County Registry of Deeds. The
DPW assumes all maintenance responsibilities for accepted streets including, but not limited to: pothole
repair, line striping, sidewalk repair/installation, utility repair/installation, plowing and pavement
maintenance.
An unaccepted street is any roadway or similar way as listed above that has not been officially accepted
by the Town of Agawam. In order for a street to be accepted, it needs to be presented to and approved
by a Street Acceptance Committee comprised of agents of the Town Council and the DPW Superintendent.
Unaccepted streets have not gone through this process. Historically, the Town has not performed any
pavement or preventative maintenance treatments on unaccepted streets because, prior to 2018 the
pavement management budget has consisted mainly of Chapter 90 funds, which cannot be used on
projects within unaccepted streets. This policy has begun to change with the addition of more local
funding to the budget.
Regulations and procedures for street acceptance can be found in the Agawam Bylaws Chapter 155:
Streets and Sidewalks.
The Town is considering the streets listed in Table 7 for acceptance. Before these streets can be presented
to the City Council for acceptance, the DPW will need to retain the services of a professional Land Surveyor
to create Acceptance Plans.

127E ROAD NETWORK EVALUATION
In addition to determining the condition of individual streets, the DPW will further evaluate the
effectiveness of our pavement maintenance program by analyzing how our yearly street paving projects
improve the overall road network of the Town. This is done by using the Road Network Evaluation
Worksheets (included in Appendix D) to calculate how many years the newly installed pavement
treatments are estimated to last and comparing that to the amount of deterioration our overall road
network is expected to experience each year.
In 2020, the Town contained approximately 141.5 miles of Accepted roads. Each of these roads has an
expected life span that decreases by 1 each year. Therefore, the total annual deterioration of the entire
road network will be: 141.5 miles X 1 year = 141.5 mile-years. The Town would need to add a minimum
of 141.5 mile-years through its road maintenance program in order to offset this overall decline. The Road
Network Evaluation Worksheet uses the estimated design life of each pavement treatment currently
performed by the Town to determine if there is a net gain or deficit in the quality of the overall road
network.
Evaluation Worksheets were previously completed for years 2009 – 2020. These worksheets can be found
in the 2018 Pavement Management Report and subsequent addendums. An Evaluation Worksheet for
2021 can be found in Appendix D. Figure 5 depicts how efficiently our current pavement management
system has been by showing how many mile-years the Town road network has gained or lost since 2009.

Figure 5 shows the deficit between the minimum number of mile-years necessary to retain the current
condition of the road network (141.5 mile-years) and the actual number of mile-years added to the
network in a given year. In 2021, the pavement maintenance performed by the DPW added a total of
73.84 mile-years into the road network (see Road Network Evaluation Worksheet for 2021 in Appendix
13D). This fell short of the required 141.5 mile-years by a total of 67.66 mile-years, indicating that the overall
condition of the road network deteriorated in 2021 rather than improved. However, the deficit has
decreased since 2020.
As shown in Figure 5, the Town Road Network has been in a consistent state of deterioration since 2009
(ranging from -100 TO -23 mile-years). As can be seen on the graph, the condition of the Road Network
was at its peak in 2016, when the DPW introduced its preservation maintenance program. Since then,
however, the Town has spent less each year on Preventative Maintenance and focused more on short,
residential streets in need of Reclamation.
If additional local funding can be procured for pavement maintenance in future years, the DPW can
increase the quantity of mile-years added to the Road Network by installing low-cost surface treatments
(as described in Section 4C) to several streets rather than funding more costly Rehabilitation or
Reconstruction projects on only a few streets. This will help slow the deterioration of streets in good
condition while the DPW continues to repair streets in poor condition.
7F SIDEWALKS & CURB CUTS
Based on residential input and our own observations, the DPW has compiled a list of the sidewalks within
the Town that are in the poorest condition, having suffered severe damage including sinkholes, wide
cracks, heaving and invasion of tree roots. In many areas, the tree belts have been allowed to grow higher
than the sidewalks, preventing rainwater from draining properly into the street and creating flooding
problems.
In order to increase the Town’s capability for sidewalk repair, the town council authorized the creation of
a DPW Sidewalk Repair Crew in 2016. This crew has been responsible for the repair of damaged sections
of sidewalk, the installation of short lengths of new sidewalk and curb cut ramps and maintenance during
the winter months including shoveling and salting. In 2021, the Sidewalk Repair Crew installed new
sidewalks and curb ramps at the locations listed below:
Granger School
River Road
Agawam Senior Center
Agawam Municipal Golf Course
Tower Terrace
The estimated cost for the sidewalk work above is listed in Table 8.
All work performed by the DPW Sidewalk Repair Crew was in compliance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Accessible Design.

Future Schedule and Estimated Costs of Pavement Maintenance Projects:
2023-2027As part of our current pavement management practices, the Engineering Division has been maintaining a pavement maintenance schedule of future projects to be completed within the next 5 years, as shown on the tables below. The streets listed on these tables were selected from a catalog, maintained by the Engineering Division, of streets in poor condition that require treatment. The Engineering Division, DPW Superintendent, and Mayor work together to decide which roads from this catalog will be given priority for pavement maintenance. Each year in late winter/early spring, the DPW performs street inspections and the pavement management program is reassessed and evaluated based on the most updated data, projects, available budget, and pavement conditions. A more detailed description of the street selection process is described in Section 3 of the 2018 Pavement Management Report. The information listed in the following tables, including the streets, their scheduled construction year and estimated costs is preliminary and subject to change since street priorities and the pavement treatments necessary to repair a particular street often change based on the road evaluations performed by the DPW/Engineering Division. Also, the number of streets that can receive maintenance in any given year depends greatly upon the yearly pavement maintenance budget which largely consists of Chapter 90 and local funding, as noted in Section 6.
