9 Structure of road asset management MOT: Asset s owner; -Management general. LRA: No asset ownership; -Management: General planning; Contracting; Financing; Control. State enterprises: Delegated asset ownership. -Management: Detail planning, Road inventory; Asset accounting. -Execution of maintenance works Structure of Financing Road Maintenance in 2002 Restoration of road signs and barriers, etc. Restoration of 4% gravel pavement wear 7% Restoration of road marking 4% Routine maintenance in summer 22% Maintenance of asphalt pavements 12% Maintenance of bridges and pipelines 2% Maintenance of the embankment and culverts 4% Routine maintenance in winter 42% Daily inspection and repair of minor damages 3% Unit price contracts (according to bill of quantities) 33% Lump sum contracts (According to standard) 67%

10 Management of Fund Allocated on Road Maintenance Data base Traffic volumes Loads Accident rates Road length Volumes of construction work Road condition Optimal levels (standards) of road maintenance (Minimum combined costs) Optimal scope of funding Governmental policy Willingness of society to pay Realistic funding Realistic levels (standards) of road maintenance Contract award Assignment of tasks, funds and level of maintenance Contract implementation Supervision of works Supervision of the road maintenance level (standard) implementation The System of Documents Regulating the Road Maintenance 1 2 Classification of works A list of compulsory works Standard (level) of maintenance 1 Planning Maintenance technologies Economic rates Guidelines of technical supervision and take over Methodology of maintenance level assessment Package of rates on the number of working hours, equipment, and materials 2 Production Supervision Acceptance

11 Advantages: Conclusions limited number of capable enterprises reduced amount of state employees contracting out of works lump sum contracts (achieved level of maintenance) independent supervision of works Shortcomings: incomplet separation of Client and Contractor function lack of legislation regulating lump sum contracts insufficiently developed data bank Today s priorities and perspectives Ensurance of proper routine maintenance level and traffic safety. Modernisation of European Corridors VIA BALTICA ( Marijampole bypass) Implementation year Project cost 16,5 million EUR, of which 6,5 million EUR by EU PHARE, 10,0 million EUR Lithuanian funds. Lithuanian Highway Project Implementation year Project cost 115,55 million EUR. Financed by EU ISPA program - 65,55 million EUR and Lithuanian funds-50 million EUR. Preservation and modernisation of the existing road network
