Motion carried 5-0. 7 b. Reports 1) Construction & Project Management Report – July 2026 Senior Project Manager Joseph Latocha presented Terracon’s Site Investigation Results and Remedial Options Evaluation, included on Pages 12-24 of the packet. Terracon was onboarded earlier this year to evaluate path-forward options, conducting extensive site investigation and testing. Latocha outlined Terracon's two primary recommendations and reviewed the project's action plan funding, included on Pages 15-16 of the packet. Director-Public Works Richard Hough advised the Committee while additional information is required to make a final decision, supplementary funding may be necessary to move the shooting range project forward. Discussion ensued. Walworth County Administrator Mark Luberda inquired if the Committee desired a Memorandum from the Sheriff’s Office detailing project needs, options, and potential alternatives upon the item's return. The Committee confirmed they request a Memorandum 1 of 72 Walworth County Board of Supervisors July 20, 2026 Public Works Committee Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 4 from the Sheriff’s Office. In addition, Hough provided status and development updates for the following county projects: County Highway H Project (Lake Geneva), W2213 County Campus Sewer Project, and W2621 Lakeland Health Care Center Vacant Wing Modification Project. 2) D irector’s Bi-Monthly Report – July 2026 Hough referenced and provided additional information on the items on his Memorandum, included on Pages 25-33 of the packet, regarding the Department of Public Works Bi-Monthly Report – July 2026. The discussion focused on vacancies, new hires, limited-term employees, use of material and equipment, maintenance, asset management/inventories, updates t o p olicies, plans, training and leadership development, Spring/Summer maintenance season, and emergency response. Hough highlighted and discussed in detail two working group items, included on Page 26 of the packet: WG26-01 and WG 25-3. H ough referenced and discussed the importance of Chapter 18 of the Walworth County Code of Ordinances, Civil Emergencies, included on Pages 29-33 of the packet. He highlighted the ordinance must be amended to legally authorize direct support for out of jurisdiction assistance. He stated that as of Friday, the estimated and itemized bill for direct support was $165,000 to aid the Town of Geneva after the July 3 storm. Hough explained that a commitment needs to be made to go forward with assistance. Luberda explained that the issue would go to a number of committees including Executive, Public Works and Finance Committees before an ordinance is amended. He stated that after what the County went through on July 3 rd and the aftermath, it is clear the issue must be addressed. It must be addressed to ensure that all actions are consistent with the State’s public purpose doctrine. Luberda indicated that by working with the Corporation Counsel, a limit could be determined. He stated he felt comfortable extending work for two days in the middle of an emergency because the County made a commitment to assist the next week. Luberda stated he needed two days to investigate to honor the County’s original commitment and figure out his and the County’s authority. Luberda stated that the agreement with the Chair of the Town of Geneva will be consistent with the perimeters of a current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU); even though that specific MOU doesn’t apply to this storm event. Luberda explained that the County is working on the faith of the two agreements, between Luberda and the Town of Geneva Board Chair. The expectation is the Town of Geneva will get the 70/30 funding from the state. He stated the County has to figure out a long term plan. The County has to have parity on how individual municipalities are treated. Luberda stated that internal work with Public Works and the Corporation Counsel will be done to determine what the perimeters are for the County; and to what extent we are allowed legally to assist the municipalities. He indicated these items will be framed during budget discussions. 3) R eport on Highway Commissioner Approval of One-Time Cooperative Purchase over $100, 000 for the Purchase of Road Salt 4) Report on Highway Commissioner Approval of One-Time Cooperative Purchase over $100, 000 for the Purchase of Bulk Solar Salt 5) Report on the Highway Commissioner’s Approved Bid Award for Concrete Bridge R epairs, Project #26-059 2 of 72 Walworth County Board of Supervisors July 20, 2026 Public Works Committee Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 4 6) Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Compliance Maintenance Annual Report (CMAR) on the County Campus Wastewater Sewage Collection System 7) Report on the County Administrator’s Approved Project Change Order Internal Routing A pproval Request for Lakeland Health Care Center (LHCC) Building Renovations, Change Order #10, Project #W2306 U nfinished Business 8a. 2027 Budget Ideas or Considerations Luberda stated Item 8a. is an open-discussion item where Supervisors can propose ideas or programs that the County Administrator could consider in the development of the 2027 budget. Chair Karbowski stated he wants to ensure we have funds available for the type of emergency type situation that happened on July 3, 2026. Luberda indicated he did have a conversation with the Finance Director, and it may be possible to expand the definition of the emergency fund so that if Public Works has bad weather events; there will be an extra pile of money that the Finance Committee can free up without having to go to the full County Board or the need for a two-thirds majority. Hough and Associate County Engineer Nicole Whitman discussed Supervisor Schaefer’s idea of using solar power for energy and selling solar energy to local municipalities. They discussed the history of studies done on this issue and the lack of cost savings being determined. N ew Business 9a. Annual Committee Review of Standardized Equipment, Systems, & Materials Hough referenced and discussed highlights of his supporting Memorandum and the Annual Committee Review of Standardized Equipment, Systems, & Materials, included on Pages 51-52 of the packet. Supervisor Stacey offered a motion, second by Supervisor Wojcik, to approve Item 9a. Motion carried 5-0. 9b . E-Bike Safety, Regulation, and Policy Recommendations Hough referenced his Memorandum, included on Pages 53-56 of the packet. Hough noted that E-bikes function like motorcycles but lack registration requirements. He highlighted that confusion regarding E-bike traffic laws, similar to ATV regulations, makes enforcement difficult. He stated a message will be relayed to municipalities to establish local rules at this week's municipal engagement meeting. Chair Karbowski expressed his concern over the lack of regulations for the use of E-bikes. He discussed his safety concerns and how he would like t o s ee Walworth County become the leading edge on this issue the same way Walworth County wrote rules for ATV/UTV rules. Chair Karbowski would like to see an ordinance drafted to reg ulate E-bikes usage and the ordinance be submitted to the Wisconsin Counties Association to help establish statewide consistency. Chair Karbowski offered a motion, second by Supervisor Wojcik, to request an ordinance be drafted to regulate E-bikes for Walworth C ounty to send to the Wisconsin Counties Association (WCA).

Eisenhower FACILITIES MASTER & SECURITY PLAN (2021) 10-YR PAVEMENT PLAN BLDG STUDIES BUILDING ASSESSMENTS (ALL MAJOR FAC.) Condition Assessment PASER / Bridge Insp. PASER Parking Lot Assessments FACILITIES MEP SYSTEMS LIFECYCLE TRACKER 2025 6 of 72 Scheduled Assessments: • JC (2003) Building Assessment in 2027 will inform ne ar- and long-term capital plans as major systems, from elevators to generators, enter their early life-cycle replacement windows. • SO Kitchen Assessment in 2027 by SMEs will inform th e department on the rooms’ deterioration and mitigation requirements. • SO (1995) Building Infrastructure Assessment in 20 28 will provide an analysis of major systems as this building enters its mid-life cycle. • CDEB (2006) Building Infrastructure Assessment in 20 30 precedes major investments in roofing, pavement, and HVAC systems. • HHS (2018) Building Infrastructure Assessment in 20 30 precedes initial review of major systems to inform MEP and systems placement on future CIPs. Why and How? Facilitated by subject matter experts, building assessments provide a clear understanding of facility conditions, system performance, and code or safety issues. They help identify risks, prioritize repairs, and plan capital investments. Facilities managers use assessments to forecast maintenance needs, budget accurately, extend asset life, and align projects with organizational goals. By relying on objective data, they ensure resources are allocated effectively, projects are timed appropriately, and long-term facility strategies remain proactive rather than reactive. Combining external assessments with employee observations provides decision-makers with the best overall picture of what is required versus desired. BUILDING ASSESSMENTS & STUDIES 7 of 72 Why and How? Parking lot and pavement improvement plans are tightly linked to follow-on maintenance activities that preserve structural integrity, extend surface life, and reduce long-term costs. Treatments such as crack filling and reclamite slow deterioration, protect prior investments, and maintain safe, functional facilities. Coordinating capital improvements with routine preservation ensures predictable performance, supports budgeting accuracy, and enables DPW to manage lifecycle needs proactively rather than reactively. This year’s 10-Year Maintenance Average for all lots is approximately $42K.

When paired with Highway Safety Improvement Program funds, agencies can enhance surface conditions and safety while protecting capital investments. Integrating these treatments into our long-range road strategies helps maintain a consistent 30–35-year lifecycle by delaying major reconstruction, reducing deterioration, and supporting cost-effective, data-driven pavement management. RISKS: The plan seeks two competitive federal grants (STP-Rural) to support 9.4 miles of roadway. One grant is secured, and the other is pending approval.

Road improvement plans and follow-on maintenance activities are inseparable parts of a long-term pavement management strategy. Initial reconstruction or resurfacing establishes structural integrity, while treatments like crack filling and chip sealing slow deterioration, reduce lifecycle costs, and extend service life to our desired 30- to 35-year reconstruction goal. When planned together, they optimize budgeting, preserve prior investments, and maintain safe, reliable transportation networks. This coordinated approach ensures predictable performance, protects assets, and supports sustainable, data-driven infrastructure planning. For the Department, we seek to average $500K in road maintenance costs using this treatment strategy. This year’s 5-Year Maintenance Average is approximately $492K. In addition, we’ve been provided with a new $1M boost to the Highway & Bridge Fund specific to small culvert repairs after recent inventories identified 55 structures in poor condition.

Lakeland Health Care Center Renovation Several air handling units are sweating, and two VAVs lack dampers, causing excess moisture. Some systems need low temperature sensors before proper sequencing. Project Remarks Lake Beulah No Parking Zone The department inspected the area and identified that all appropriate No Parking signage is in place. Use of barriers in the right-of-way, e.g., rocks is not safe and fencing is appropriate due to public and repairing access rights.

Because the quote has a short expiration period, this WOC will allow for a cost adjustment of +/- 2.5% Requested term of WOC: ☒ One-time purchase ☐ Recurring purchase/contract Contract term: N/A If recurring purchase, describe anticipated future purchases, including on-going maintenance: N/A Uniqueness, Special Circumstance and/or Time Constraints Explanation of uniqueness of good or service, including a description of the patented or proprietary features, and/or sole-source nature of the good or service: The snowplow blades are unique due to their carbide‑reinforced cutting edges, OEM‑specific mounting patterns, and compatibility requirements with the County’s existing plow equipment. These patented design features ensure proper fit, performance, and durability, making the product safe and reliable for winter road maintenance. How are unique features essential to department: These snowplow blades are fully compatible with the department’s existing snowplow equipment, meet required performance and safety standards, and provide the durability needed for reliable winter road maintenance. Special circumstance, prior investment considerations, and/or time constraints, if any: Carbide pricing remains highly volatile, driving snowplow blade costs significantly higher than in past purchasing cycles. Securing blades now allows the department to lock in current pricing and avoid further increases. During this process, the originally considered vendor (Nordik) became unresponsive, compressing the timeline and reinforcing the need to pursue a WOC to ensure timely sourcing and delivery ahead of the winter season. Given pricing volatility and the need to maintain winter operational readiness, prompt procurement is essential for both budget stability and reliable service. 34 of 72 Approved Enacted 12/06/2019 Form 6-225-A Revised 04/14/2026 Waiver of Competition Page 2 of 3 Alternative Sources An alternatives sourcing search was conducted consisting of (check all that apply): ☒ Market research ☒ Contacted other vendors ☐ Other Describe the alternative sourcing efforts: The department obtained quotes from three (3) vendors and compared pricing against cooperative contract options available through NASPO. Cooperative vendors were evaluated but ultimately not selected due to higher pricing or, in the case of Nordik, lack of responsiveness. Because Nordik was non-responsive and other cooperative vendors offered higher pricing, these alternatives did not meet the department’s needs. Therefore, pursuing a WOC was necessary to ensure a reliable and timely supply. List all alternative sources investigated and reason good/service does not meet need: 1.

This model has become the nationwide standard, offering a uniform language for manufacturers, retailers, and policymakers. W isconsin’s statutes regulating e‑bikes align with this three‑class model. Class 1 and Class 2 e‑bikes assist riders up to 20 miles per hour, while Class 3 pedal‑assist bicycles can reach 28 miles per hour and require riders to be at least sixteen years old. The statutes permit e‑bike use on public roads and bike lanes, treating them largely the same as traditional bicycles. However, shared‑use paths and trails are governed by local authorities and the Wisconsin DNR, which generally allow Class 1 and Class 3 e‑bikes on many state trails but limit speeds to 15 miles per hour and prohibit certain throttle‑equipped Class 2 models. These statewide and DNR rules form a reasonable foundation but do not fully address emerging safety concerns involving youth ridership, trail conflicts, and illegal aftermarket modifications that increase speed capability, and new, more powerful e-moto bikes and scooters with motors exceeding 750 watts. Con sidering these trends, Walworth County can provide leadership by advocating for a set of statewide improvements to harmonize rules, strengthen safety practices, and distinguish e-bikes from other bicycles in reporting. A minimum age of 15 for all categories of e-bikes and 16 for e-moto equipment with engines greater than 750 watts, and mandatory registration is also recommended. O ther meaningful recommendations the county could consider include banning unregistered vehicles (e-bikes) for commuting purposes, e.g., daily commute to and 37 of 72 Re: E ‑Bike Safety, Regulation, and Policy Recommendations from school.

They may ride e-motos if they are registered and the rider has a license. What Kind of Helmet Should Your Child Wear? A regular bike helmet may not protect your child in a high-speed crash. Choose a helmet made for faster speeds. Look for one with one of these safety labels on the inside liner of the helmet: • ASTM F1952 • NTA 8776 • DOT Every rider should wear a properly fitted, speed-rated helmet every time they ride. Ho w Can You Help Your Child Ride Safely? Help keep your child safe by making sure they: • Wear a helmet every ride. • Wear closed-toe shoes. • Wear bright clothing. • Use lights if you ride when it is getting dark. childrenswi.org/safetycenter safetycenter@childrenswi.org © 2026 Children’s Wisconsin.

CS_SAF_324_0726 Safety Center E-bikes (electric bicycles), e-scooters (electric scooters) and e-motos (electric motorcycles or dirt bik es) are becoming more popular with kids and teens. They go much faster than regular bikes and sc ooters, so they can be more dangerous. Crashes can cause very serious injuries or death. • Know the rules of the road. • Watch for people walking and for cars. • Keep their phone put away. • Do not wear earbuds or headphones while riding. • Never carry another person on an e-bike or e-scooter. • Follow local rules for riding. Is Your Child Ready? Think about if your child can: • Follow traffic rules. • Always pay attention. • Stay off their phone while riding. • Make safe choices, even when friends are around. You can ask yourself: Would I trust my child to safely ride a motorcycle or moped? If the answer is no, your child is probably not ready for an e-bike, e-scooter or e-moto. 40 of 72 41 of 72 42 of 72 43 of 72 44 of 72 Home 2026 News Illinois Senate Unanimously Passes Giannoulias E-Bike Bill Illinois Senate Unanimously Passes Giannoulias E-Bike Bill Comprehensive micromobility safety plan targets dangerous high-speed e-bikes, e-motos and other unregulated electric devices exceeding 28 mph Illinois Senators today approved a sweeping statewide safety initiative spearheaded by Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias to address the growing dangers posed by unregulated high-speed e-bikes, e-motos and other powerful electric transportation devices operating on streets, bike lanes and sidewalks across the state. “As these devices become faster, heavier and more powerful, our laws must keep pace to protect riders and the public,” Giannoulias said. “This initiative closes dangerous regulatory gaps, creates uniformity across Illinois communities and ensures riders understand the responsibilities that come with high-speed electric devices. We’re replacing a confusing patchwork of local rules with clear statewide standards that prioritize safety.” The legislation is part of Giannoulias’ Ride Safe, Ride Smart, Ride Ready campaign – a multi-pronged effort combining public education, updated rider training and legislation designed to modernize Illinois law as the micromobility industry rapidly evolves. From 2019 to 2022, micromobility-related injuries and fatalities surged 300% across the country, including Illinois. Giannoulias credited State Sen. Ram Villivalam (8th District – Chicago), Chair of the Senate Transportation Committee and sponsor of the legislation, while lauding members of the Senate for passing SB 3336 unanimously 54-0. He also thanked the wide-ranging group of stakeholders who provided input, including: the Illinois Municipal League (IML), Illinois High School and College Driver Education Association, Ride Illinois, Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police, ABATE, and Lurie Children’s Hospital. The Illinois House will now consider the bill, where it is sponsored by State Rep. Barbara Hernandez (50 District – Aurora). “Micromobility is quickly transforming how Illinoisans get around and is now part of everyday life, but innovation without guardrails puts people at risk,” Villivalam said. “This legislation brings safety, accountability and common-sense protections to reflect today’s reality and a new era of mobility.” “This is exactly the kind of forward-looking legislation Illinois needs as new technology reshapes how people travel,” Hernandez said. “By setting clear statewide rules for higher-speed devices, we are protecting riders, reducing confusion for law enforcement and helping prevent avoidable tragedies before they happen." The initiative focuses on higher-powered, higher-speed devices that fall outside current state definitions or remain largely unregulated, including certain e-bikes, e-motos and electric scooters, skateboards and unicycles. Illinois currently has no laws governing e-bikes and other micromobility devices that exceed 28 mph. Many of these devices have motors that exceed 750 watts and can travel well beyond 28 mph – in some cases over 50 mph – yet are not clearly addressed under existing law. Illinois will maintain its current three-class e-bike structure, which covers pedal bicycles with electric motor assistance up to 28 mph – a framework already used in 46 other states. Under the proposal, those classi fications would remain unchanged except for new age requirements that a rider on a Class 1 or Class 2 must be at least 15 years old. Under the legislative framework: Riders of e-bikes and e-motos capable of traveling over 28 mph would be required to have a driver’s license, title, registration and insurance. High-speed micromobility devices such as e-scooters, electric skateboards and electric unicycles would be prohibited from operating over 28 mph on roads, bike lanes, bike paths and sidewalks. In addition, riders of any electric micromobility device must be at least 16 years old. ...

If signed into law, the bill would take effect on January 1, 2027 . E-bikes and e-motos purchased prior to that date would be exempt from the title requirement but must still be registered. Along with the legislation, the Ride Safe, Ride Smart, Ride Ready campaign will deliver: Statewide public awareness outreach for parents, riders and retailers, Updated driver education materials focused on sharing the road safely, Law enforcement guidance and community safety partnerships, and Outreach to schools and municipalities on responsible micromobility use. The initiative is part of the Secretary of State’s broader effort to modernize transportation safety laws and respond proactively to emerging technologies before preventable injuries and fatalities continue to rise. -#- Back to Top 8/17/26, 7:59 AM Illinois Senate Unanimously Passes Giannoulias E-Bike Bill https://www.ilsos.gov/news/2026/april-15-2026-illinois-senate-unanimously-passes-giannoulias-e-bike-bill.html 2/2 46 of 72 M emorandum To: Public Works and Parks Committee Members Cc: Walworth County Administrator – Mark Luberda From: Public Works Director – Richard Hough Date: September 1, 2026 Re: ATV Discussion on Multimodal Use on White River County Trail The Department of Natural Resources has a five-step process for ATV trail development outlined in its ATV and UTV Trail Guidelines, Publication PR-391, Version 07.01.22, which are outlined below: Th e most important first step in planning a trail is to determine the trail’s purpose and objectives. Why do we want this trail? Who will use the trail? What needs will the trail meet? (Examples of needs a trail could be intended to meet: local economic development, regional recreational demand, transportation, connectivity.) How will it be managed, maintained, constructed, and funded? Funding considerations should include initial investments and long-term maintenance needs. This can be dictated by a number of factors, but available resources for construction, maintenance, and management should be key factors. A trail cannot provide every type of experience desired by diverse user groups. Take time to consider and determine what kind(s) of trail you are going to provide – what will the 47 of 72 Re: ATV Discussion on Multimodal Use on White River County Trail allowed uses be, what will the managed and designed uses be? Further, recognize that this will likely not result in the ideal experience for all allowed trail uses. There are many other viewpoints to consider when planning to incorporate ATVs on existing trails, on both the user side and in trail management and maintenance. Factors such as available resources, trail concept, and setting must be looked at holistically when determining the kind of experience to be offered and maintained on a trail. W hile DNR is ultimately responsible for any decision to incorporate ATVs on White River Trail, the Department of Public Works management and staff do not believe it is wise to pursue, given a history of insufficient maintenance due to a lack of resources (staff time, grant funding) to maintain and keep the trail safe for multiple types of users. 48 of 72 M emorandum To: Public Works Committee Members Cc: Walworth County Administrator – Mark Luberda From: Public Works Director – Richard Hough Date: September 2, 2026 Re: Public Works Committee Priorities for Government Center Study Director requests that you give consideration to your information priorities during the Government Center Study.

Winter maintenance prioritizes driving lanes and ramps based on WisDOT Categories 3–5. Crews first focus on plowing to prevent packing, then on achieving passable and, eventually, bare pavement conditions as soon as practical after each event. Clear wheel tracks are acceptable during the transition period when conditions warrant.

H ow is it that State Non-Winter Maintenance is nearly $1M more for far less lane mileage (700 State, 400 County)? I’m glad you asked. County non-winter maintenance costs appear higher— nearly $1 million more—despite fewer lane miles (700 state vs. 400 county) because WisDOT operates on a shorter roadway life-cycle of approximately 13–17 years, while the County is working toward a 30–35-year life-cycle. In addition, the County must absorb costs associated with facilities, park collaborations, and other non-state obligations that are not reimbursed through State maintenance agreements. Key Budget Highlights: We anticipate higher costs for roadside oil, paint, and other oil-based materials. To improve daily workflow, the department plans to equip Highway Maintenance teams with tablets so they can record work in real time, eliminating end-of-day administrative tasks that currently require 18 staff hours. In addition, the Administrator’s Budget shifts certain Purchased Services costs from the operating budget to the Road and Bridge Fund, providing $1 million to support small culvert projects over the next decade. 57 of 72 9 S implified Level of Service Statement: The County maintains 550 centerline miles of roadside areas using mowing, vegetation control, drainage maintenance, and litter/encroachment removal.

Wi sDOT Winter Maintenance Categories: WisDOT has five (5) roadway categories that determine priority, level of service, and hours of operation. Within Walworth County, we maintain category 3-5 level of roads as outlined below: C ategory 3: All other four-lane highways (AADT< 25,000) All lanes and ramps will be maintained with emphasis on plowing and sensible salting. However, the driving lanes and ramps will receive preferential treatment. The passing lane will receive less attention. Plowing with less salting will be done on the passing lane. C ategory 4: Most high-volume two-lane highways (AADT >= 5,000) and some two- lanes (AADT < 5,000) The driving lane will be maintained with emphasis on plowing and sensible salting. C ategory 5: All other two-lane highways The driving lane will be maintained primarily by plowing with minimal salting. *AADT = Average Daily Traffic 2. P avement Surface Maintenance or Surface Maintenance: This category includes all activities associated with maintaining and preserving the driving surface of County roadways. Work such as crack filling, chip sealing, remediation oil treatments, and distressed pavement repair is conducted throughout the maintenance year. Seasonal conditions dictate when each treatment can be applied. Crack filling is typically carried out in spring and fall, when temperatures are suitable for proper adhesion. Chip sealing and Reclamite occur during the warm summer months when curing is most effective. Distressed pavement repair is performed throughout the construction season and on an emergency basis whenever the road surface deteriorates to a point where drivability or safety is affected. 3. D itch & Drainage Maintenance: This category covers the maintenance of all roadside drainage features, including ditching, culvert cleanouts, and culvert repairs/replacements. Work is performed year-round, with scheduled ditching most often occurring during warmer, drier months when soil conditions allow heavy equipment to operate safely. Culvert replacements happen both proactively and reactively, especially following storms, washouts, or flooding. Drainage maintenance is also conducted whenever standing water, erosion, or roadway undermining becomes evident during inspections or after weather events. Level of Service Clarifications 70 of 72 22 4. S houlder Maintenance: Shoulder maintenance includes restoring gravel/asphalt millings on paved County roadways, correcting edge drop-offs, and addressing shoulder erosion. Most shoulder work occurs during the construction season, from late spring through fall, when material placement and compaction can be completed effectively. Shoulder repairs also occur immediately after heavy rains, rapid snowmelt, or traffic-related degradation. Inspection findings throughout the year help identify unsafe shoulder conditions requiring timely corrective action. 5. E ncroachment Removal: Highway encroachment removal tasks prioritize the immediate elimination of critical safety hazards in the public right-of-way, followed by the scheduled removal of non-hazardous unauthorized objects during routine maintenance. Examples include fallen debris, collapsed structures, illegal signage, unpermitted storage, etc. 6. S ignage and Traffic Control Device (TCD) Maintenance: This category includes the repair, replacement, installation, and maintenance of roadway signs and traffic control devices across County roads. The County does not fabricate its own signs but installs and maintains them to ensure compliance with MUTCD standards. Signage maintenance is performed whenever signs are damaged, knocked down, faded, obstructed by vegetation, or changed due to regulatory updates. Ensuring visibility and compliance is a year-round responsibility. 7. P avement Markings: Pavement marking maintenance includes application and renewal of centerlines, fog lines, and other roadway striping. Most work is performed in late spring through summer when warm conditions support proper curing of paint materials. Additional applications or touch-ups occur as needed throughout the season when markings fade, or after resurfacing/maintenance projects. 8. V egetation Management: Vegetation management encompasses all roadside vegetation work conducted throughout the year. During the growing season, beginning in early spring and continuing into fall, the County performs selective herbicide treatments, invasive species control, and Plant Growth Regulator applications to manage roadside vegetation, reduce mowing frequency, and maintain clear sightlines at intersections. These treatments are scheduled during periods of active plant growth to ensure maximum effectiveness, but reactive vegetation management may occur at any point in the season when overgrowth creates visibility concerns or safety hazards. Vegetation management also includes tree trimming and brushing operations, which occur primarily during the winter months. Winter provides ideal conditions for this work because trees are dormant, reducing stress and promoting healthier regrowth. Frozen ground improves equipment access to off-road locations and minimizes damage to shoulders and ditches. During this period, crews remove overhanging limbs, nuisance branches, dead wood, and brush that could impede visibility, obstruct signage, threaten roadway safety, or interfere with equipment during other maintenance operations. These trimming and brushing activities ensure long-term roadside stability while preventing vegetation-related hazards in subsequent seasons. 71 of 72 23 9. Guardrail & Impact Attenuator Maintenance: This category includes the repair, replacement, and upgrading of guardrails and impact attenuators throughout County roadways. Work is performed year-round in response to crash damage, deterioration, or inspection findings. Maintenance prioritization is based on roadway classification, hazard proximity, and safety risk, ensuring these roadside protection systems function properly under all conditions. 10. Car Killed Deer (CKD): Car-killed deer removal is a County responsibility performed through an approved contractor using a piggyback arrangement on the State contract. Removal occurs as needed whenever wildlife-vehicle collisions result in carcasses within the roadway or along the shoulder. Contractors respond promptly upon notification from appointed County officials to maintain roadway cleanliness and eliminate hazards. 11. County Bridge Maintenance: County bridge maintenance includes the full range of activities required to preserve structural integrity and ensure continued safe passage over County-owned bridges throughout the year. County crews perform routine work such as deck cleaning, joint and drain flushing, patching deck surfaces, brush cutting around structures, removing timber or debris, and concrete repair at abutments and wing walls whenever conditions allow. Many of these tasks are scheduled during warmer months to support proper curing of materials, though emergency maintenance can occur at any time in response to flooding, debris accumulation, storm damage, or issues revealed through inspections. In addition to the work performed by internal staff, Walworth County also relies on qualified vendors and specialized contractors when maintenance needs exceed internal capabilities, require specialized equipment, or demand technical expertise beyond what County crews are equipped to provide. Vendor-performed work may include larger-scale concrete rehabilitation, structural repairs, slope stabilization projects, advanced washouts, specialty material applications, or complex drainage corrections. Public Works coordinates these contracted services to ensure compliance with engineering standards, regulatory expectations, and industry best practices. 12. Preventive Maintenance (Fleet): Preventive Maintenance (PM) in fleet management refers to the scheduled, proactive servicing of County vehicles and equipment to keep them safe, reliable, and operational. PM includes routine tasks such as oil changes, safety inspections, tire and brake servicing, fluid replacements, and mechanical adjustments performed at set intervals to prevent breakdowns and extend asset life. By prioritizing PM, the County reduces costly reactive repairs, minimizes vehicle downtime, and ensures that essential equipment is consistently available to support daily operations across departments. 72 of 72
