  1. City of New Orleans Infrastructure Update June 2019

  2. Infrastructure SnapshotYear to Date Comparison

  3. Infrastructure Challenges – May 2018 Roads • 1,500 Miles of City-owned roads • Standard design life of a roadway is 20-30 years • Prior to Katrina- annual $16-19M in roadway maintenance and capital improvements • As of 2016 Stantec study • 44% of roads were rated “Very Poor/Failure” • 21% of roads were rated “Poor” • More than $5B needed to repair streets rated “Poor” or below; JIRR only covers approximately 25% of this need • $200-250M needed annually to bring average pavement condition to Fair

  4. Infrastructure Challenges – May 2018 Water and Drainage • Water System • 1,800 Miles of main lines • More than half of main lines are over 100 years old • Only 5 miles of mains replaced over the last 25 years • JIRR program only covers the Katrina damaged portion of the system • Drainage • More than 15,000 miles of pipes between DPW and SWBNO • More than 72,000 catch basins • 24 Drainage Pump Stations • Deferred and ongoing maintenance needs do not address needed improvements to the system like Urban Water Plan projects

  5. Where We AreAccomplishments Since May 2018 Fair Share • Dedicates more than $200 million toward our most critical infrastructure needs in the next five years: • One-time funding that will lead toward fiscal solvency for the Sewerage and Water Board. • Recurring funding to clean our drainage lines at an industry-standard rate, to improve power generation, and to continue to improve our city streets. Joint Infrastructure Recovery Request (JIRR) Program • Submitted 26 DPW/SWB coordinated JIRR projects worth $126M into the FEMA approval process in March 2019. • Convened 16 meetings with key staff from FEMA, GOHSEP, SHPO, the City and SWB to design and institute the program fundamentals (Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Metrics, Monthly/Quarterly Reporting, etc.) and work through issues the program is facing.  • Executed the Abbreviated Consultation Process (ACP) with FEMA/ SHPO/ Tribes as of December 17, 2018, which is shortening review and approval timelines with FEMA and helping to accelerate the rate at which the City can put new projects out for bid. • Hired the City’s first ever Archaeologist and Historic Preservation Specialist in November 2018, both of whom are helping to create a roadmap for prioritizing the nearly 200 sub-projects associated with the JIRR. • Established and integrated an infrastructure management system (DPW Dashboard) so that the work under the JIRR is fully coordinated.  • Finalizing a Cooperative Endeavor Agreement to document the annual management between for the JIRR Program.
