respect of roads (using LPT) 85% of monies are given under RI, RM & DG
(based on RLR km length in each authority) RMO in place from start of year Continued focus on LCS & Bridge Rehabilitation Pilot CIS complete – no separate monies but
authorities may use up 7.5% of RI & RM
Information sought Submission of DG-1 & RM-1 summary
forms for 2015 Information to be entered into MapRoad
browser for RI, RM, DG & CIS
The above information is required by the 15th May 2015.
The Road Schedule needs to be correct in MapRoad (desktop GIS). No information can
be recorded in the system for a road that is not present in the PMS mapper.
Use the MapRoad PMS browser to enter in proposed works. Alternatively a New Works
APP will be launched to mark these up on site
Identify start and end of Works as well as length, width, unit cost, estimated cost,
materials
Preparing the Roads Programme
All programmes entered to MapRoad PMS
Browser
Programme submitted to DTTaS via a Submit
button
LA can export programme to Form B spreadsheet
format for their records
Alterations to programme submitted via same
mechanism
Updated programme can be re-submitted
towards end of year with completed (After)
section populated based on updated PMS
information
PSCI rating included in data transfer
Return of 2015 Roads Programme
This is no longer completed by the local authority. Instead the MapRoad PMS can generate this form based on the information entered by the authority. This form is not to be sent to the DTTaS as the electronic transfer manages this process
Form B
Reference Circular – RW 21/2014 History of Works Surface Inventory Surveys (Mechanical and Visual) Record of Completed Works Survey on Progress on Pavement
Management RMO Workshops Grants & Data
Roads Act 2015 provides for Merger of NRA & RPA At the request of the Minister the NRA can
undertake certain tasks on RLRs such as salt procurement, bridge frameworks etc
For a project requiring an EIS, NRA or LA can seek a pre-consultation with ABP
Power for Minister to specify standards & increased recognition of NRA standards
Payment of tolls provision
2015 Roads Act does not include certain issues which are to be dealt with in a later Bill
The transfer of the motorway network from Local Authorities to the NRA
Co-ordination of Road Works provisions to be moved from Traffic Act & strengthened
Other miscellaneous provisions
Returns from 2014 6 councils used some DG monies for LIS
(1%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 10% & 11%)
4 councils availed of full 25% switch from RI to DG
9 councils availed of partial switch from RI to DG
15 councils did not switch from RI to DG
Own Resources Aim is to get accurate picture of own
resources expenditure by authorities What should we capture?
- total spend related to roads budget including central costs (insurances, etc)- project costs not covered under grants- direct road works outside of grants but completed by authority
It is likely that future grants will be in some way linked to own resources expenditure
Future Matters Capital Programme 2015 -2020 due to be
published in June Any extra monies for 2016 & 2017 are
likely to be very limited but prospects from 2018 onward are somewhat better
To address backlog of works will also require increased LA funding
New 4 year RI programme to be sought Aim to have more comprehensive data on
all pavement works by end of this year
