On November 31, 1999, the <br />City of Marathon incorporated <br />and became independent of <br />Monroe County. This <br />incorporation has resulted in a <br />transfer of all infrastructure <br />and other public facilities from <br />Monroe County to the City of <br />Marathon. Over the years, the <br />existing roadways and other <br />infrastructure have greatly <br />deteriorated and <br />improvements need to be <br />addressed immediately. <br />Calvin, Giordano & Associates <br />evaluated the existing public <br />infrastructure and provided the <br />City of Marathon with a set of <br />guidelines and <br />recommendations that detailed <br />improvements that needed to <br />be addressed along with their <br />associated costs. These <br />recommendations were <br />provided to upgrade existing <br />infrastructure, enhance safety, <br />and improve the overall <br />appearance and functionality <br />throughout the City. <br />The inspection reports <br />examined current conditions <br />associated with all public <br />roads, bridges, street lights, <br />traffic signals, bike paths, <br />parks, buildings, and all other <br />public facilities identified within <br />the City of Marathon that can <br />be transferred from Monroe <br />County to the City. <br />Marathon Infrastructure <br />The scope of this report <br />included an engineering <br />inspection and evaluation of <br />all public roadways <br />throughout the City to identify <br />specific areas that needed <br />traffic - related improvements <br />such as safety <br />enhancements, new or <br />modified traffic control <br />devices, street lighting, <br />guardrail installation and <br />signing upgrades. Pavement <br />conditions and <br />quality /visibility of existing <br />pavement marking were <br />inspected and inventoried. <br />Nighttime examination of <br />signing and striping was <br />performed to determine <br />where insufficient reflectivity <br />exists so that the appropriate <br />refurbishing can be <br />implemented. Special bicycle <br />and pedestrian needs or <br />deficiencies were <br />investigated and addressed. <br />Roadways and bicycle paths <br />were inspected and <br />evaluated for possible <br />renovation and asphalt <br />overlay. Various options for <br />improving drainage such as <br />Swale modifications, catch <br />basin installation and curb <br />construction were analyzed. <br />Field inspections of other <br />County owned facilities such <br />as bridges, parks and <br />buildings were also <br />conducted to assess their <br />present condition. <br />Report <br />Client: <br />City of Marathon, Florida <br />Contact Information: <br />Mr. Craig Wrathell, City Manager <br />10045 -55 Overseas Highway <br />Marathon, Florida 33050 <br />(305) 743 -0033 <br />Services Provided: <br />Engineering <br />Key Personnel: <br />John P.
