Project Scope & Description
This Project is to replace 10,600 GSF (gross square feet) of 60 mil EPDM (rubber) roofing on the Airport Terminal building and 500 GSF
of 60 mil EPDM roofing on the Airport Control Tower building.
Locations
2525 Airport Drive, Waukesha, WI 53188
Analysis of Need
The Airport Terminal was constructed 1998 and the control tower in 1995 and both have the original roofing systems. EPDM roofs are
typically under warranty for 15 years and have a useful life expectancy between 15 and 20 years. The terminal roof is 22 years old and
the tower roof is 25 years old and both have been patched and deteriorated due to sun exposure. At time of replacement the roofs will
be 23 and 26 years old.
Alternatives
Patch the roof when leaks develop.
Ongoing Operating Costs
Operating costs will be reduced for labor and materials associated with repairing leaks and associated damages.

*Higher cost of underground tanks is partially due to larger capacity needed for highway operations at substations, including four 10,000 gallon tanks
and one 6,000 gallon tank, and also due to necessary monitoring systems and electronic devices. By contrast smaller above ground tanks are needed
at other locations and hold either 550 or 1,000 gallons. Previously, those underground tanks that could be replaced by above ground tanks were
replaced, based on the implementation of a replacement plan in the early 1990s. Those underground tanks remaining were due to inadequate space
(that would have required the purchase of additional land) and safety issues.
Project Scope & Description: There are 15 vehicle fuel sites utilized by Waukesha County departments with a total of 28 tanks (five
underground, and 23 above ground). All tanks were installed in the early 1990’s. The infrastructure is aging and will begin to exceed
tank warranties and useful lives of technology and equipment associated with site operations. The 23 above ground and five
underground tanks will be replaced with similar tank styles, design, and capabilities. Note: all underground tanks are monitored with
sensors designed to shut-off system operations immediately at time of detection, thus eliminating the loss of fuel into the ground.
Funding for this project is spread out into later years, which allows for more initial research into replacement strategies and costs
before committing too much funding. The concept for capital budgeting for tank replacement follows: $400,000 will be set aside
beginning in 2018 and then $200,000 each year and $100,000 in the last year for a total $1.5 million funding level, replacing tanks as
needed. The focus for 2018-2019 is the replacement of the aging software system and card readers. Tank inspections will be
implemented when monitoring systems indicate they are warranted and replacement is likely in the near future.
The budget strategy for the project is to fully fund the project and to utilize funds only as needed to complete improvements when
necessitated by aging infrastructure. This strategy is similar to the method used in the Highway Paving program where funds are
allocated to paving but not specifically to a location.
Update 2020: Fleet management division will be replacing the aging above ground diesel tank at Sussex with a combination unleaded/
diesel above ground tank which aligns with other main county substations. The Wanaki Golf Course was sold in 2020 and the two
above ground tanks at that golf course will no longer be replaced. The number of above ground tanks is reduced from 25 to 23. And
the number of fuel sites is reduced from 16 to 15.
Location: All 15 fuel sites that are utilized by Waukesha County Departments will require some form of replacements, upgrades
and/or modifications. Sites include Highway Operations Center, Nashotah Substation, North Prairie Substation, Sussex Substation,
New Berlin Substation, Nagawaukee Golf Course, Moor Downs Golf Course, Nagawaukee Park, Nashotah Park, Menomonee Park,
Fox Brook Park, Minooka Park, Fox River Park, Muskego Park, and Mukwonago Park.
Alternatives: Three alternative options exist at this time: close the site(s), fuel off-site in the local area, or consolidate fuel sites with
other governmental agencies. None is an effective option given the nature of daily departmental operating procedures and emergency
operation requirements.
Ongoing Operating Costs: Waukesha County currently spends $40K annually to maintain all 15 of the vehicle fuel sites. The
funding is contained within the Central Fleet Division’s fuel budget. An additional $2,500 in annual software licensing fees is estimated
for the new fuel system.
Previous Action: Regulatory requirements associated with the State of Wisconsin “Comm 10” statutes necessitated a fuel capital project in
2012-14 totaling $232K (project # 201211). The project focused on upgrading fuel dispenser spill containment and monitoring systems. The
work contained in the 2012-14 project will not be duplicated in this project. Approved as a new project in the 2014-2018 capital plan. Delayed
in 2015-2019 capital plan. Approved as planned: 2016-2020, 2017-2021 capital plans. Approved with a revenue update in 2018-2022 capital
plan. Approved as planned in the 2019-2023 capital plan. Approved as planned in the 2020 – 2024 capital plan.

Project Scope & Description
The existing courthouse, located at 515 W. Moreland Blvd., was constructed in 1959 and remains structurally sound. The
courthouse currently houses the Judiciary, Clerk of Courts, Family Court Counseling, District Attorney’s offices (including
Victim/Witness), the County Board Room, Information Technology, and other miscellaneous functions. Throughout the life of
the courthouse, extensive remodeling has taken place to add additional courtrooms and reconfigure interior space to meet the
expanding needs of the services located in the courthouse. Operational and business inefficiencies, particularly for the courts
systems, have been created due to both space and building limitations. The courthouse building infrastructure is approaching
the end of its useful life. In addition, existing courtrooms do not meet current design standards.
This courthouse projects (steps 1 and 2, mentioned belo
w) will enhance security at the courthouse by establishing “three-way
separation” among inmates, court staff, and court visitors, which is a judicial standard that limits unnecessary interaction and
prevents potential confrontations. Other security enhancements will include improved video surveillance; upgraded fire
protection; better courtroom design, with clear line-of-sight for judges and bailiffs to monitor people; ability for judges to
automatically lock-down courtrooms in emergency situations; installation of staff and public announcement systems to provide
notifications during emergencies; and redesign of the security entrance to improve the flow of courthouse visitors.
The county retained Zimmerman Architectural Studios to develop a “Courthouse Study,” (capital project #200914), to provide
a comprehensive analysis of courthouse space requirements and design needs. This study was completed in 2013, and
Zimmerman recommended a two-step design approach (below). This project addresses step 1. A separate capital project will
address step 2. While approving this project in the plan does not obligate future County Boards for step 2 (renovation of the
existing courthouse facility as outlined in the aforementioned study, project #201705), it does reflect the county’s future
guidance for the overall courthouse project.
Step 1: Construction of a new four-story,
eight-courtroom facility and relocation of eight existing courtrooms to the
new facility. This work also includes the demolition of the existing 1959 jail.
Step 2: Courthouse Project Step 2 will renovate the existing courthouse facility in a multi-phase vertical segmented
approach to provide newly renovated facilities for all divisions, except the secure courtrooms addressed in
Step 1. Courthouse renovation will also include the installation of new state of the art mechanical, electrical,
fire protection, window systems and new wall, floor, and ceiling finishes in all renovated areas. This
approach will not require temporary offsite relocation of courthouse personnel.
Project funding includes $500,000 of capital project fund balance a
nd $300,000 of prior-year jail assessment fee revenue
reserves, applied to partially cover the costs of the new courts building jail-holding area.
Step 2 is currently estimated to be
$58.6 million. Going forward, many factors may impact eventual project costs, including,
but not limited to, incorporating additional operations to the courthouse space, future economic conditions, and the maturing
of the design process for the remaining phases of work that are part of step 2.

Manager: Allison Bussler, DPW Director
Date: December 4, 2020
Location
Waukesha County Courthouse, 515 West Moreland Blvd., Waukesha, WI 53188.
Analysis of Need
The existing courthouse building, constructed in 1959, remains structurally sound. Over the years, extensive remodeling has
taken place to add additional courtrooms and reconfigure interior space. Public access to the building is now limited to the
main entrance (door #2) where security screening takes place. Customer circulation has been identified for improvement,
particularly the courts area. Due to the remodeling, some courtrooms are considered inadequate since the space and/or
security does not measure up to current courtroom design standards.
Based on the needs identified by the county and analyzed by the
consultant, the consultant has recommended the construction
of a new four-story courts building adjacent and contiguous to the existing Courthouse and the relocation of eight existing
courtrooms to this building. This will address courtroom security needs, prisoner transport needs, and customer circulations
needs. Due to the design of this new building, it will not be necessary to temporarily relocate any courtrooms or staff off-site
during construction.
The existing courthouse is in need of complete replacement of its mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection and window
systems. The need for these replacements will coincide with the completion of the courts building and the vacating of eight
courtrooms in the existing courthouse. The space left vacant by the courtrooms will be used in consideration with the
consultant’s recommendation for Step 2, as described previously in the project scope and description.
Update: The expenditure budget in 2021 has been reduced by $1,000,000 to reflect actual expenses as the project nears
completion.
Alternatives
Continue to operate all county functions and services at their present location utilizing existing facilities, risking HVAC failure,
and without gaining future HVAC, utility, and staffing efficiencies.
Ongoing Operating Costs
Based on information gathered through the design review process, there will be operating impacts related to staffing and facility
maintenance. Consolidating office space and moving operations within departments closer together, is expected to result in
greater operational efficiencies for most affected departments. With the exception of the Sheriff’s Department, none of the
affected departments have indicated a need for additional staff. The Sheriff’s Department is requesting an additional six
correctional officer positions during construction for Step 1 (January 2019 through March 2021), with three of the positions
remaining permanently after construction. These additional positions are estimated to cost $1 million during the interim
construction period and $240,000 annually for the three permanent positions beginning in 2021.
Step 1 of this project will demolish approximately 52,000 square feet of old jail space, which provided holding cells connected
to existing courtrooms in the current courthouse. A new 62,000 square-foot court tower will increase County building space
and is expected to result in higher utility, housekeeping, and repair/maintenance costs. Utilities are expected to increase by a
net of $5,000. For Step 2, the renovation of the existing courthouse will involve replacing existing systems (e.g., HVAC) with
energy efficient technology, which is expected to lower utility costs.
The court tower addition in Step 1 is expected to increase contracted housekeeping costs by $80,000. These additional
expenses will likely be partially offset by savings as the Facilities Maintenance Division plans to continue transitioning from in-
house cleaning staff to contracted cleaning staff.
Estimated third-party maintenance/re
pair services are estimated to increase $15,000. Additional in-house maintenance/repair
work is expected to be absorbed within the Division’s existing staffing levels.
Previous Action: The Court
house Study was completed in August, 2013. Approved as a new capital project in the 2014-
2018 capital plan. Approved as planned in the 2015-2019, 2016-2020, and 2017-2021 capital plans. Approved with a cost
and revenue update in the 2018-2022 capital plan. Approved as planned in the 2019-2023 capital plan. All phases included
committee review meetings open to the public. Approved as planned in the 2020 – 2024 capital plan.

Project Scope & Description
This project is a deck replacement of the CTH I bridge over the Fox River. In addition, the scope is expected to include
railing replacement, approach paving, approach guardrail replacement, and repair of riprap slope paving. The roadway
will remain two lanes over the bridge. Right of way acquisition is not anticipated. The Waukesha County Bicycle Plan
shows a proposed trail along the Fox River at the site of this project. This project does not include bridge widening for
purpose of bicycle trail. Roadway shoulders over the bridge will accommodate bicycles. A bridge rehabilitation report
has been approved by WisDOT that recommends deck replacement. Waukesha County amended a 2017 application
for federal bridge aid to be consistent with the approved bridge rehabilitation report. This was a change in scope from
superstructure replacement, which was the recommended rehabilitation alternative in 2017. Waukesha County applied
for federal bridge aid, and in May 2018 WisDOT approved the county’s application. An agreement with WisDOT was
executed in February 2019 authorizing $426,000 in Bridge Aid funding toward the project, which was $12,000 more
than previously anticipated. This is offset by an increase in overall costs of $12,000 resulting in no change in net county
costs. In June 2019 the project was approved for participation in WisDOT’s new Low Risk Pilot Program” using state
rather than federal funds in construction. The Low Risk Pilot Program allows for a streamlined and accelerated design
process. Success of this pilot program may lead to improvements in the Local Bridge Program that result in time savings
and cost savings.

Analysis of Need
The existing bridge (B-67-097) is a two-span, pre-stressed concrete girder structure that was constructed in 1965. A
concrete overlay was placed on the deck in 1996. The bridge is considered “structurally deficient” due to the condition
of the deck. The deck edges and soffit underside are spalling. A thermal infrared scan of the wearing surface in 2014
indicates the concrete overlay is 22% delaminated. The riprap slope paving beneath the bridge has missing stone, and
should be repaired. The structure sufficiency number is 75.4, which indicates that structure rehabilitation is warranted
according to WisDOT guidelines and makes the bridge eligible for federal bridge funding (rehabilitation) with a
sufficiency below 80. The 2017 traffic volume on this roadway segment was 2,300 vehicles per day.
Alternatives: R
econstruct the existing bridge, but will not be eligible for federal bridge aid.
Ongoing Operating Costs: Maintenance costs will be reduced in the early years after construction beyond 2021.

Project Scope & Description
This project is a rehabilitation of CTH D between Calhoun Road and 124
th
Street and the rehabilitation of the culverts at Deer
Creek. The roadway will be rehabilitated with minor shoulder and intersection improvements. The anticipated scope for the
culverts includes culvert lining and grouting, headwall reconstruction, and approach ditch re-grading. Structure rehabilitation
will effectively extend the life of the culvert structure, while avoiding the need to close the highway and excavate the deep
roadway embankment for a stream diversion. However, the proposed rehab does not address structure widening that may be
needed for highway expansion. Under this project, the roadway will remain two lanes. The acquisition of temporary easements
is anticipated to construct this project.
Culvert rehabilitation was originally proposed in capital project #201303, CTH D, Deer Creek Bridge, but federal bridge aid
funding was not available. However, federal Surface Transportation Program funding is available for structure rehabilitation
under this broader road rehabilitation project. Waukesha County has been approved for $2,287,000 in federal aid to help fund
the project. Project construction was previously delayed from 2019 to 2021 based on an updated WisDOT funding schedule.
Location: City of New Berlin
Analysis of Need: The pavement along this 3-mile long portion of CTH D is in poor condition and requires reconditioning. In
2013 the pavement inspection conducted along CTH D found that the overall condition index for the pavement varies between
21 and 43, which is the poor to fair range. Shoulders are paved and relatively wide. Intersections have turn lanes although
some minor grading may be needed to extend turn lanes.
The existing bridge (P-67-779) is a triple-barrel corrugated steel p
ipe culvert. Each barrel is 72-inches in diameter. The
structure was initially constructed in 1959 with two culvert barrels. The culverts were lowered, and a third culvert barrel added
in 1969 by a developer along with re-grading of Deer Creek. The structure now sits under a 30-feet high roadway embankment.
The two original barrels are rusting through at the normal water line. The stone masonry headwalls are in poor condition. The
riprap ditch at the northeast bridge approach is eroding. The existing structure appears to have adequate hydraulic capacity.
The structure sufficiency number is 33.1, which indicates that structure replacement or rehabilitation is warranted according to
WisDOT guidelines. The 2017 traffic volumes on the CTH D corridor ranged from 8,440 to 15,880 vehicles per day.
Alternatives
Reconstruct the existing bridge
Reconstruct the pavement
Ongoing Operating Costs: Initial ma
intenance costs may be reduced following construction.
Previous Action: Bridge rehabilitation portion originally proposed as a separate capital project #201303 (CTH D, Deer Creek
Bridge). Approved as a new project in the 2017-2021 Capital Plan. Approved as planned in the 2018-2022 Capital Plan.

Project Scope & Description
This project is a rehabilitation of the westbound (W.B.) CTH V V bridge over the Menomonee River. The
scope includes concrete deck replacement. In addition, concrete approach slabs will be replaced and
approach guardrail upgraded to current standards. The roadway will remain two travel lanes on the bridge.
Right of way acquisition is not anticipated. A bridge rehabilitation report is being completed, which will be
necessary to verify the cost effectiveness of the proposed rehabilitation scope. Following WisDOT approval
of the rehabilitation report, and once the bridge is eligible for rehabilitation funding, Waukesha County will
apply for an estimated $965,000 in federal/state bridge aid.
Locations
Village of Butler
Analysis of Need
The existing bridge (B-67-85) is a three-span concrete deck girder structure that was constructed in 1964.
A concrete overlay was placed on the deck in 1994. The bridge girders and substructure are in good
condition. A 2018 thermal infrared scan of the deck wearing surface indicates 24.9% delamination or de-
bonding of the previous overlay. In addition, the sidewalk and railings are deteriorating, with spalling and
exposed bar steel. The structure sufficiency number is 85.2, and is currently not eligible for federal bridge
aid. This project was scoped in 2017 based on bridge need. However, the structure sufficiency rating has
not dropped as much as anticipated since 2017. The bridge remains ineligible for federal/state bridge aid,
though the county continues to monitor bridge condition for appropriate ratings. For this reason, the project
was delayed in the 2020-2024 Capital Plan. The 2015 traffic volume on the westbound bridge was 11,750
vehicles per day.
Alternatives
Reconstruct the existing bridge, but will not be eligible for federal bridge aid.
Ongoing Operating Costs
Maintenance costs may be reduced in the early years after construction.

Project Scope & Description
This project is a replacement of the CTH SS drainage structure over Meadowbrook Creek (a tributary of
Pewaukee Lake). A box culvert or concrete arch are likely structure types, though various structure types
will be considered. The roadway will remain a two lane section over the structure. The roadway has a
functional classification as a minor arterial, and 10-foot shoulders are anticipated. Shoulder widening may
require removal of an adjacent retaining wall. Other site constraints include close proximity to two
restaurants, Waukesha County’s Lake Country Trail, and a Pewaukee Lake access. To minimize impacts
to businesses, various roadway typical sections will be considered (rural, urban). Right of way acquisition
to the ultimate width of 60/66 feet is required. Additional fee acquisition or easements beyond the ultimate
width are anticipated.
Locations
Village of Pewaukee
Analysis of Need
The existing structure is a single-span structural steel plate arch with a span of approximately 10 feet. The
steel structure is in poor condition with significant deterioration in the lower portion of the culvert barrel.
Roadway railings/guardrail at the structure are in poor condition. The age of the existing structure is
unknown. The structure has concrete headwalls that are in fair condition. The downstream headwall is
continuous with a concrete retaining wall. The culvert structure has a span of 10 feet and is not classified
as a bridge per Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) standards, and therefore is not eligible for federal
bridge aid. The roadway functional class is minor arterial. Traffic volume on CTH SS in 2018 was 3,400
vehicles per day.
Alternatives
Rehabilitate the existing structure, which does not address all structural and geometric deficiencies.
Ongoing Operating Costs
Maintenance costs will be reduced in the early years after construction beyond 2026.

Project Scope & Description
The purpose of this proposed project is to correct the safety problems along the westbound and eastbound directions
of this curved segment of CTH B (Valley Road). Proposed improvements include:
Realign the Morgan Road intersection approach for providing a perpendicular connection with CTH B near
the midpoint of its existing curve. Add a right turn lane and acceleration taper along westbound CTH B at this
reconfigured ‘T’-intersection.
Lower the CTH B profile along this highway curve by ~1' - 2' for improving driver sight distance.
Expand slightly the curve alignment of the westbound CTH B travel lane and adjust its superelevation as part
of inserting a new eastbound CTH B left turn lane for Morgan Road.
Widen the CTH B paved shoulders from 1’ to 3’ and clear zones along this curve.
Waukesha County was awarded Highway
Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funding for these intersection
improvements.
Location
Village of Summit/City of Oconomowoc
Analysis of Need
A CTH B (Valley Road) sharp curve at a Y-intersection with Morgan Road has been the site of a number of run-off-the-
road crashes. Westbound CTH B drivers approaching too fast can be misled by the appearance of this intersection's
large paved area, so when entering this curve they must react suddenly and can lose vehicle control. Not all turning
and other oncoming vehicles at this Y-intersection are visible from along its CTH B curve and from the existing
orientation of the Morgan Road approach. This curve has a crash rate of 0.61 per million-vehicles, which is high for an
average daily traffic of only ~3,900 vehicles/day. Many of the crashes caused severe injuries.
Alternatives
Improved signing (sharp turn advance warning signs with 20 MPH advisory panels and directional arrow warning) was
implemented as a lower cost alternative three years ago. Crashes persist along this short curved segment of CTH B
as the signing was not as effective of an option as improving the geometry per the recommended scope.

Project Scope & Description
The purpose of this proposed project is to correct safety problems at the CTH E (Tomlin Road) / CTH D (Wern Way) intersection.
Proposed improvements addressing the conditions described below include:
Realign ~500’ of CTH D so its approaches to this 2-way stop intersection are closer to perpendicular with CTH E.
Add overhead STOP sign assemblies at the CTH D approaches.
A significantly greater realignment o
f the CTH D intersection approaches was proposed for HSIP funding by Waukesha County in
2015. WisDOT had agreed with the need for these CTH D realignment intersection improvements, but noted its $913,000 estimated
construction cost and real estate requirements were too large. Waukesha County plans to apply for HSIP funding with this reduced
scope in 2020. HSIP Funding has been applied for in 2020.
Location
Town of Genesee
Analysis of Need
The angle of the CTH D / CTH E intersection angle is at about 54°/12for the existing highway alignments, compared to a 90°
preferred angle or a 70° - 110° acceptable range.
Fifty-seven (57) collisions were reported at the CTH E / CTH D in
tersection from 2004 to 2018 where average daily two-way traffic
totals 8,400 vehicles/day for a crash rate of 1.240 per million vehicles and has one of the highest collision rates among Waukesha
County’s rural highway intersections. Sixteen (16) of these collisions had incapacitating or severe injuries during this period. Nearly
all of these angle collisions were caused by this intersection’s sharp angle which limits CTH D drivers’ view of CTH E traffic coming
from their right. Trucks turning right from CTH D also may tend to swing wide into opposing CTH E traffic.
Alternatives
Improved signing and striping (additional stop signs, adjusted stop bars and improved ahead warning signs) was implemented as a
lower cost alternative in 2015. Crashes persist at the intersection as the signing was not as effective of an option as improving the
geometry per the recommended scope.
Changing this intersection to a full-wa
y stop would not be appropriate for the contrasting traffic volumes along CTH E and CTH D. A
roundabout would require significantly more right-of-way and higher construction costs for addressing this intersection’s prevailing
hazard for CTH D cross-traffic.

Project Scope & Description
The purpose of this 1.0-mile proposed project is to correct operational issues, address deteriorating pavement
condition, and add 3-foot paved shoulders. To correct operational issues, the intersection of North Avenue and
Watertown Road will be realigned with turn lanes added. Signal and minor configuration improvements, as well as
intersection and railroad timing coordination, will be considered to address safety concerns at the intersection of CTH
M and CTH F (Redford Blvd).
Waukesha County plans to apply for STP funding for this project in 2021.
Location
City of Pewaukee
Analysis of Need
The condition of the pavement is poor, with a PCI of 30. The pavement currently ends at the edge line of the travel
lanes, causing cracking and fatigue along the edges of pavement.
The intersection with Watertown Road is poorly configured, and th
e eastbound Watertown Road intersection approach
has a rutted shoulder from lacking a bypass lane or a separate left turn lane. This intersection's existing angle is about
75°/105°, compared to a 90°-preferred angle. This causes vehicles to consistently overlap opposing lanes or use
shoulders to navigate turns. Additionally, this intersection is positioned immediately adjacent to a farmhouse so drivers'
view of cross-traffic is obstructed. With no bypass lane, motorists have reported back-ups extending from this
intersection to the very busy nearby CTH M / CTH F intersection. Twenty collisions have occurred at this intersection
from 2014 to 2018.
Alternatives
Rehabilitate the pavement only with the paving program using 100% county funding. This project would not add paved
shoulders or address the intersection of North Avenue/Watertown Road as those improvements are beyond the scope
of the paving program.

Project Scope & Description
The purpose of this proposed project is to install permanent signal poles and equipment at the CTH X
(Saylesville Road) / West High Drive signalized intersection. This existing signalized intersection had been
identified by WisDOT during 2012 as one of 5% of local road locations in Wisconsin warranting a local
intersection safety evaluation. Proposed improvements include:
Remove and replace all temporary wood poles, span wires, and signal heads with WisDOT-standard
permanent equipment mounted on monotube structures. Re-mount existing video detectors and
emergency vehicle pre-empt devices (EVP).
This intersection's existing controller would serve the new traffic signal. Minor signal operation
improvement details also will be implemented, including new clearance intervals, all-red times,
minimum gap times, and left and right turn detectors.
Location: Cit
y of Waukesha
Analysis of Need: The traffic signal at this ‘T’-intersection serving Waukesha West High School was installed
with wood poles and span wire during the fall of 2007 following several severe-injury angle collisions. The
intersection was installed on temporary poles due to anticipation of future development. The development of 35
homes was anticipated to begin in 2019. The primary access to the subdivision will be located on a local City
of Waukesha roadway, not at this intersection. What will be installed at the intersection will be a driveway for a
church located adjacent to the proposed subdivision. The church and developer are implementing several
infrastructure improvements, including a southbound CTH X right turn lane, a northbound CTH X left turn lane,
supplemental signal equipment mounted on the existing wood poles-span wires, and new sidewalks with a CTH
X crosswalk added between this new neighborhood and Waukesha West High School. With the development
moving forward with a driveway at this intersection, the final configuration of the intersection will be established
and permanent signal infrastructure should be implemented.
Alternatives: The alternative is to leave the existing wood poles and temporary signal configuration in place,
but at some point this temporary system will need a permanent solution implemented.
Ongoing Operating Costs: Maintaining proper alignment of the vehicle detection video cameras mounted on
the wood poles after strong winds and seasonal freeze-thaw conditions is an operational and maintenance
challenge. Public complaints about malfunctioning signal operation responses to traffic are frequently received
by the Waukesha County DPW. A new permanent signal will alleviate these operational calls and responses.

Project Scope & Description
This project involves the reconstruction and widening of about 3.0 miles of CTH M (North Avenue) from Calhoun Road to 124
th
Street to four lanes and the replacement of bridges and culverts over Underwood Creek. A raised median will be provided
along the project for left turn movements. The median area, along with 3 ponds, will provide additional capacity for storm water
management. The roadway alignment will stay at its present location. Land will be acquired to a distance of 60 feet from the
roadway centerline and additional grading easements and vision corners as may be required.
The county proposes increasing the project budget by $2,590,000 (net costs to the county of $1,723,000 after additional
municipal revenues applied) in 2021. Several reasons for this increase include: During the design phase, WisDOT and the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) took nearly two years to review the environmental document, leading to a need for
accelerated final design and increased costs; WisDOT and Canadian Pacific RR, the entities responsible for designing the
railroad crossings/signals, went over their budget; and there were higher costs due to compensable utilities.
Location
City of Brookfield, Village of Elm Grove
Analysis of Need
CTH M, or North Avenue, has been identified as a priority corridor for widening to four lanes by the Department of Public
Works. This portion of CTH M is shown as a four-lane roadway in the 2035 Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning
Commission (SEWRPC) Jurisdictional Highway Plans for Waukesha County. Traffic volumes recorded in 2011 along this
portion of CTH M range from approximately 14,400 vehicles per day (VPD) at Calhoun Road to 20,400 VPD at 124
th
Street.
These volumes indicate that the existing two-lane roadway is beyond its operating capacity, and is in need of widening.
Alternatives
Rehabilitate CTH M: This alternate will address pavement issues but will not provide the required level of service or
capacity warranted by traffic volumes, or improve ingress to the highway.
Reconstruct CTH M to provide necessary additional capacity.
Ongoing Operating Costs
Operating costs are expected to increase by approximately $42,500 per annum for the additional lane miles after the
construction phase is completed.

Project Scope & Description
This project is a replacement of the CTH YY structure over Underwood Creek. The roadway will remain two lanes
over the structure but the substandard shoulder width will be improved to current standards. The project is not
straight-forward due to a number of site constraints, which include: Underwood Creek runs parallel to the highway
for 300 feet; the site is adjacent to a city park (Wirth Park); the structure is in close proximity to a public street and
park entrance; the project site is near a railroad crossing, school, and cemetery. The 2035 Regional Transportation
Plan calls for CTH YY to become a 4-lane facility. Design of the project is underway, and various alignments of
future 4-lane expansion are being considered to determine best location for a 2-lane bridge. Various structure types
will be considered. The project may require stream relocation, bridge site relocation, park impact mitigation, removal
of existing retaining walls, compensable utility relocation, and changes to roadway vertical alignment. Right-of-way
acquisition to the ultimate width of 120 feet is anticipated. Significant additional easements are anticipated. In 2020,
Waukesha County applied for WisDOT Multimodal Local Supplement (MLS) program funding on this project. The
project has been approved for a total of $630,000 MLS funding (state funds). MLS is a reimbursement program,
where Waukesha County will administer project construction.
Location: City of Brookfield
Analysis of Need
The existing structure is a single-span, concrete slab that spans approximately 18 feet. Also, the structure was
widened to its current width using pre-stressed girders. Dates of initial construction and widening are unknown. The
roadway and bridge transferred from City of Brookfield to county jurisdiction in 2006. The abutments and
superstructure are in poor condition, per structure inspection reports. The roadway over the structure is narrow, with
minimal shoulders. Structure replacement is recommended. The structure has a span of 18 feet and is not classified
as a bridge per Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) standards, and therefore is not eligible for federal bridge
aid. Traffic volume on CTH YY in 2018 was 14,900 vehicles per day.
Alternatives
Rehabilitate the existing bridge, which does not address all structural and geometric deficiencies.
Ongoing Operating Costs
Initial maintenance costs may be reduced.

Project Scope & Description
This project is an overlay of the CTH XX bridge over Pebble Brook Creek. A concrete overlay is anticipated, but several
overlay types will be considered during design. Concrete repairs will be made to the spalled areas of the deck edges.
Existing bridge railing may be salvaged/remounted or completely replaced with this project. Approach guardrail will be
replaced to meet current standards. The asphalt bridge approaches will be repaved, and concrete approach slabs will be
added at the structure. Right of way was purchased to the ultimate width of 100 feet at this bridge in the 1970’s. No
additional fee acquisition is anticipated. Some easements may be necessary due to the proximity to railroad right of way.
This project was delayed in the 2017-2021 capital plan because the project was not approved for federal funding following
the 2015 application. Waukesha County again applied for federal funding in 2017, and in May 2018 WisDOT approved
federal bridge funding for the project. An agreement with WisDOT was executed in February 2019 authorizing $197,000 in
federal funds toward the project. Construction funds are moved to 2022 to align with Local Bridge Program schedule per
WisDOT’s project authorization letter.
Location: Vill
age of Waukesha
Analysis of Need: The existing bridge (B-67-195) is a two-span concrete box culvert that was constructed in 1980. The
roof of the box culvert serves as the roadway driving surface. Most of the box culvert is in good condition. However,
approximately 8% of the top deck surface is delaminated, and some concrete is beginning to spall. The delamination is due
to corrosion of the top mat of bar steel. This bar steel is not epoxy coated. There is also spalling of concrete along both
edges of the deck (roof) at the drip edge. The approach guardrail is in poor condition and does not meet current standards.
The roadway is functionally classified as a ‘principal arterial.’ The bridge is considered ‘structurally deficient’ due to its
current condition rating. The structure sufficiency number is 53.5. This indicates that structure rehabilitation is warranted
according to WisDOT guidelines, which makes the bridge eligible for federal bridge rehabilitation funding when the
sufficiency index is below 80. An independent engineering study report was prepared for this project prior to application for
federal bridge funding. The report verifies that the proposed project scope is a cost-effective rehabilitation strategy. The
2018 traffic volume (WisDOT count) on this roadway segment was 3,200 vehicles per day.
Alternatives: Reconstruct the existing bridge and roadway approaches to current WisDOT standards. This alternative,
while addressing the deficiencies, is not warranted.
Ongoing Operating Costs: Maintenance costs will be reduced in the early years after construction beyond 2018.

Project Scope & Description
The purpose of this proposed project is to correct the safety problems along the curved segment of CTH C (Kettle Moraine
Drive) at Hasslinger Drive. Proposed improvements addressing the conditions described above and other existing potential
hazards include:
1. Realign approximately 2,200’ of CTH C with one gradual horizontal curve.
2. Realign and combine Hasslinger Drive, the private Oakland Road, and the driveway as one common intersection
approach aligned perpendicular to CTH C. Include a right turn-only lane and acceleration taper along CTH C at this
reconfigured ‘T’-intersection. Combining the driveways will remove the visual effect for north bound traffic whereby
the road appears to be straight – not curved.
3. Widen the CTH C lane widths from 11’ to 12’, its paved shoulders from 1’ to 3’, and clear zones along this curve. Add
new pavement edges.
4. Add center line and shoulder rumble strip pavement markings to alert motorists approaching and driving through this
curved highway segment.
5. Add intersection area highway lighting.
Waukesha County was originally awarded $404,000 in Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) funding to help
fund this project. In fall 2019, Waukesha County applied for additional federal HSIP revenue via WisDOT’s change
management process. The justification was based on additional public involvement and design effort to develop a design with
an alternative access reconfiguration for the side streets. This change management was approved and resulted in an additional
$233,200 in HSIP funding for the project.
Location: To
wn of Merton and Village of Chenequa
Analysis of Need
A sharp curve along CTH C (Kettle Moraine Drive) has an awkwardly configured intersection with a residential street
(Hasslinger Drive), a driveway and a private road (Oakland Road). Drivers must react suddenly to the changing curve radii of
its existing alignment. This rural highway intersection has among the highest collision rates along Waukesha’s County Trunk
Highways. There have been twenty-two (22) crashes reported from 2001 through 2017 at this intersection where average daily
traffic is approximately 3,800 vehicles/day for a crash rate of 1.174 per million vehicles. All of these crashes involved
northbound vehicles running off the right side of CTH C at the midpoint of its curve. All but one had occurred with wet/snow
pavement and/or dark conditions. One crash had a fatality and four others had severe injuries.
Alternatives
Changing this intersection to a full-way stop or a roundabout is not warranted and would not address the prevailing northbound
traffic flow problem along CTH C.

1. Realign approximately 1,200 feet of CTH D with one gradual horizontal curve.
2. Widen the CTH D lane widths from 11’ to 12’; add shoulders that are 8 feet wide, of which 3 feet

The county was awarded $786,000 in federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP funding).
Construction will be delayed from 2021 to 2022 due to turnover of designers on the County’s engineering
team.
Location:
Town of Ottawa
Analysis of Need: A sharp horizontal curve at the intersection of CTH D and Moraine Hills Drive has been
the site of a number of run-off-the-road crashes. Not only is the curve at Moraine Hills Drive substandard,
but the approach alignments are such that in combination with the curve they form reverse curves as drivers
approach the location. This combined with a relatively steep grade has been the cause of crashes. The
crash rate for this location is 1.8 crashes per million vehicles entering, which includes one fatality. This rate
is above the limit of 1.5 crashes per million vehicles entering above which action is recommended.
Alternatives: Improved signing and marking may reduce the crash rate but are not as effective as
improving the roadway geometry per the recommended scope.

Project Scope
& Description
This project is a rehabilitation of the northbound (N.B.) CTH F bridge over Green Road. The scope includes
concrete overlay of the wearing surface, and repair of the railings and deck edges. Some incidental
concrete surface repairs may be appropriate on the slab underside. It is anticipated bridge will be closed
during construction with one lane of traffic detoured to adjacent bridge. Right of way acquisition is not
anticipated. A bridge rehabilitation report was completed and approved by WisDOT. Total project cost has
increased based on bridge rehabilitation report estimate. In 2019, Waukesha County applied for an
estimated $590,000 in federal bridge aid on both design and construction phase. In March, 2020 federal
funding was approved for this project. Additionally, Waukesha County has applied for participation in the
Low Risk Pilot Program, which would use state rather than federal funds and provides for streamlining some
project design.
Location
City of Pewaukee
Analysis of Need
The existing bridge (B-67-95) is a three-span haunched slab structure that was constructed in 1966. A
concrete overlay was placed on the wearing surface in 1989. The bridge transferred from state to county
jurisdiction in 2005. Overall, the slab and substructure are in good to fair condition. A 2018 thermal infrared
scan of the wearing surface (concrete overlay) indicates 25.5% delamination or de-bonding. The concrete
parapets (railings) exhibit significant cracking, spalling, and deterioration. There is some surface spalling
on the slab underside along the edges. The structure sufficiency number is now 62.6. The 2018 traffic
volume on the northbound roadway was 12,750 vehicles per day.
Alternatives
Reconstruct the existing bridge, but will not be eligible for federal bridge aid.
Ongoing Operating Costs
Maintenance costs may be reduced in the early years after construction.

Project Scope & Description
This 0.9-mile long project involves the rehabilitation/reconstruction of CTH T to improve the condition of the
roadway. Improvements will include: milling of and replacing the existing asphaltic pavement, base repairs to the
underlying concrete pavement, minor reconfiguration of intersections to improve safety, replacing/upgrading of
older traffic signals, and storm water improvements. Traffic volumes along CTH T are approximately 24,000
vehicles per day. Therefore, traffic control will be a major challenge for this project. Federal funds will be used to
offset the cost of design and construction for this project. The Department was awarded $1,942,000 in federal
STP funds for this project. The county’s net share of project costs is increasing by $85,000 due to an updated
cost estimate and to achieve the local match requirement needed to accept the federal funds.
Location
City of Waukesha
Analysis of Need
The asphalt pavement along this portion of Grandview Boulevard (CTH T) has deteriorated to the point where it
now has a pavement condition index (PCI) of 32 at which rehabilitation should be considered. The roadway was
rehabilitated and widened in 1997, but that rehabilitation is now at the end of its useful life. The existing pavement
structure consists of an asphalt overlay of an older concrete pavement. There are significant transverse and
longitudinal cracks, some curb failure, and the existing traffic signals, especially at the Woodburn Road
intersection, are requiring more maintenance attention. The 2012 traffic volumes on CTH T were 24,000 vehicles
per day
.
Alternatives
Reconstruct the pavement. The distresses shown in the pavement surface indicate that the underlying concrete
pavement is still in a reasonable condition, therefore rehabilitation is a good option. Reconstructing the pavement
would at least double the cost of this project.
Ongoing Operating Costs
Initial maintenance costs may be reduced following construction.

Project Scope & Description
This 0.8-mile long project involves the rehabilitation of CTH O to bring it up to current standards. Improvements will include:
replacing the existing concrete pavement, reconfiguring intersections to improve safety, replacing older traffic signals, minor
grading, and adding sidewalks and storm water improvements. Access to Brookfield Square Mall and other businesses
adjacent to Moorland Road will need to be maintained during construction. Therefore, traffic control will be a major challenge
for this project. Federal funds will be used to offset the cost of design, real estate, and construction for this project. The
department was awarded $6,372,000 in federal STP funds in 2019.
Location: City of Brookfield
Analysis of Need
The concrete pavement along this portion of Moorland Road (CTH O) has deteriorated to the point where it now has a
pavement condition index (PCI) of 30 which is regarded as poor. A PCI of 20 would indicate that the pavement has failed.
The roadway was first built in 1978 and was rehabilitated in 2001, but that rehabilitation is now at the end of its useful life;
paving slabs have deteriorated; paving joints have faulted, and the concrete pavement is in need of replacement. Pavement
issues are further compounded by the fact that this portion of Moorland Road is one of the busiest on the county system
with over 30,000 vehicles per day using the corridor, which serves as a major access road to Brookfield Square Mall and
to the Bluemound Road corridor.
Alternatives
Attempt further rehabilitation. This alternate is not recommended because it is not considered cost-effective due
to the poor co
ndition of the existing pavement and the high cost of traffic control needed to maintain traffic for this
roadway.
Reconstruct\rehabilitate CTH O as described above.
Ongoing Operating Costs: Operating costs are not expected to change.

Project Scope & Description
This 1.4-mile long project involves the rehabilitation of CTH O to bring it up to current standards. Improvements
will include: replacing the existing concrete pavement, reconfiguring intersections to improve safety, replacing older
traffic signals, minor grading, adding sidewalks and storm water improvements. Access to other businesses and
residences adjacent to Moorland Road will need to be maintained during construction. Therefore, traffic control will
be a major challenge for this project. This project will use federal funds to partially offset the cost of design, land
acquisition, and construction. The Department applied for approximately $10.8 million in federal STP funds in 2017,
and was awarded $1,602,000 in 2018 for the design and land acquisition phases of the project. The County
reapplied for and was approved STP funding for the construction phase. Construction is scheduled for the next
federal funding cycle (2023).
Locations: City of New Berlin
Analysis of Need: The concrete pavement along this portion of Moorland Road (CTH O) now has a pavement
condition index (PCI) of 50 which is regarded as fair. While the PCI isn’t in poor condition, the transverse and
longitudinal joints show signs of significant deterioration, and it is anticipated that the roadway will be ready for a
pavement replacement by 2023. The roadway was first built in 1978 and was rehabilitated in 2006 but that
rehabilitation will be at the end of its useful life by 2023, and the concrete pavement will need to be replaced.
Pavement issues are further compounded by the fact that this portion of Moorland Road is one of the busiest on the
County system with over 30,000 vehicles per day using the corridor which serves as a major access road to
Between I-43 and I-94.
Alternatives: Attempt further rehabilitation. This alternate is not recommended because it is not considered cost-
effective due to the poor condition of the existing pavement and the high cost of traffic control needed to maintain
traffic for this roadway.
Ongoing Operating
Costs: Operating costs are not expected to change.
Previous Action

design and construction. The department applied for and was awarded $6,577,400 in federal STP funds for this
project. Last year, construction was pushed out to 2025 to better align with future STP cycles, but due to an above
average year of STP awards for Waukesha County, the project can be moved up to 2024 to better align with the
overall construction schedule for the corridor. The project costs have been updated to reflect the latest estimate and
STP application, reducing the net share of county costs by $487,800.
Location: City of New Berlin
Analysis of Need
The concrete pavement along this portion of Moorland Road (CTH O) is in poor condition; the transverse and
longitudinal joints show signs of significant deterioration, and several slabs have failed requiring significant investment
in maintenance. The roadway was first built in 1978 and was rehabilitated in 2006. That rehabilitation will be at the
end of its useful life by 2024, and the concrete pavement will need to be replaced. Pavement issues are further
compounded by the fact that this portion of Moorland Road is one of the busiest on the county system with over
30,000 vehicles per day. The corridor serves as a major access road between I-43 and I-94.
Alternatives: Attempt further
rehabilitation. This alternate is not recommended because it is not considered cost-
effective due to the poor condition of the existing pavement and the high cost of traffic control needed to maintain
traffic for this roadway.

from CTH ES to STH 59 as a single project, but was been split into two projects (see #202013, CTH O, CTH D to
STH 59) in the 2020-2024 capital plan.

Project Scope & Description
This project will add the additional lanes to CTH O, between CTH HH (College Avenue) and Grange Avenue (1.2 miles) to create
the planned 4 lane roadway. The road will have a median to provide for separation of opposing movements. The roadway will
stay on its current alignment and will be situated within the existing 130-foot wide corridor and, although most of the right-of-way
has been previously acquired, some additional land acquisition and grading easements will be needed. This project is the final
CTH O segment to be widened and rehabilitated and will allow the county to complete operational, safety and condition
improvements along the entire CTH O corridor. Waukesha County applied for and was awarded Federal STP funding for the
project. The county is also in negotiations with the City of New Berlin to develop an agreement for a city contribution for the
construction phase of the project. The developer has committed to a contribution of $75,000 towards the project.
Location
City of New Berlin
Analysis of Need
When CTH O was constructed between Janesville Road and Grange Avenue in 1997, it was designed so that the 2 lane roadway
that was built would become the north bound lanes of a future 4 lane roadway. At that time the SEWRPC jurisdictional plan
called for CTH O to be a 2 lane highway. Since then traffic has increased significantly along the route and the latest SEWRPC
jurisdictional plan calls for CTH O to be a 4 lane highway. In 2009 the City of Muskego as part of a Tax Incremental Financing
(TIF) District created the planned 4 lane roadway between Janesville Road and College Ave by building the new south bound
lanes. The portion of CTH O between College Avenue and Grange Avenue remains a 2 lane roadway although traffic volumes
recorded in 2018 along this portion of CTH O were approximately 17,500 vehicles per day and development along the project
route is in progress. It’s expected that this area will continue to develop. This development is the reason that New Berlin will
contribute to this project through a new TIF District. In addition to the traffic growth this section of CTH O is in between two four-
lane segments, causing congestion and confusion due to lane drops and bottlenecking of traffic.
Alternatives
1. Do nothing. This alternate does not address the long-term needs for the corridor.
2. Reconstruct CTH O as described above.
Ongoing Operating Costs
Operating costs are expected to increase by approximately $10,400 per annum for the additional lane miles.
Previous Action
This project was formerly submitted in the 2010-2014 Capital Plan as Project 201007. The project was removed from the Capital
Plan in the 2015-2019 Capital Plan due to lack of funding (federal funds were denied and the local municipality was expected to
create a TIF District which did not happen). The project is resubmitted as a new project in the 2021-2025 Capital Plan.

Project Scope & Description
The purpose of the proposed project is to correct safety problems at the CTH F (Redford Blvd) and Lindsay
Road intersection. The project will modify the existing CTH F/Lindsay Road intersection to a “Restricted
Crossing U-Turn Intersection" (RCUT) that prohibits left turns and thru traffic across CTH F from both
eastbound and westbound Lindsay Road. This intersection's safety improvement include:
Add a raised median island on CTH F at the center of intersection only allowing right turns onto
CTH F from Linday Road.
Add raised islands at the approaches to intersection to require Lindsay Road traffic to turn right
only onto CTH F.
Modify the CTH F medians north and south of intersection for accomodating U-turns.
Modify highway lights at this RCUT intersection.
The City of Pewaukee has requested this project and will partner with Waukesha County, paying the county
share of the costs. HSIP funding has been applied for in 2020.
Location: City of Pewaukee
Analysis of Need
The CTH F (Redford Blvd) intersection with Lindsay Road has a high collision rate in the county. Thirty-one
(31) crashes were reported here during the past 5.5-years for an intersection crash rate of 310 crashes per
100-million vehicle-miles. Two more collisions have occurred here during July 2020. Ten of these collisions
involved severe injuries. The collision rate at this intersection is significantly greater than the statewide
average and upper control limits of a multilane highway posted at 55 MPH (above 45 MPH).
There are no highway curves and hills that restrict visibility. CTH F has a 55 MPH posted speed and
Lindsay Road has a 35-MPH posted speed. Lindsay Road's 1,400 vehicles per day 2-way traffic volume
is growing with local business and residential development. However, this remains significantly less than
the 22,500 vehicles per day 2-way traffic along CTH F.
Alternatives: A new traffic signal is not appropriate along CTH F nor is it warranted, based on 5-year
collision history and October 2019 traffic counts.
Ongoing Operating Costs: The modified highway lights will be maintained by Waukesha County and there
will be utility costs associated with the new modified lighting.

Provide annual funding for a countywide culvert replacement program.
Location
Various
Analysis of Need
The Public Works Department replaces a number of culverts every year because of deterioration. This
program is designed to address larger culvert structures that require extensive design, more land
acquisition and higher construction costs. Generally the individual cost of culvert replacements is
approximately $50,000 and do not warrant capital projects. However, when grouped together, the annual
costs exceed $100,000. The County averages one to two culvert replacements per year under this program.
Individual culvert locations are not normally known until the year they are to be replaced.

*Includes $350,000 of GTA received above budget in 2018, appropriated as Capital Project Fund balance.
Project Scope & Description
The project involves resurfacing or rehabilitation of county trunk highways to remove distressed areas and provide improved
riding surfaces. It is the Department of Pubic Work’s goal to pave approximately 20 lane miles of roadway on an annual basis.
Crush, relay and surface or other alternative methods will be used as necessary in lieu of a simple patch and overlay. The
project includes the cost of the ongoing Pavement Inspection Program, which determines the sections of highways to be
repaved, along with the cost of shouldering, and parking lots at the department’s substation facilities. Project funding was
accelerated in the 2019-2023 capital plan, moving $1,000,000 from 2020 to 2019, to balance resources in the overall five-year
capital plan. The 2021-2025 Capital Plan increases expenses by $500,000 in 2021 to cover repaving needs. Beginning in 2019,
a portion of the state’s allocation of General Transportation Aid (GTA) revenue is budgeted to cover repaving project
expenditures. GTA revenues are reduced in 2021 and 2022 by $100,000 each year due to lower revenues received. Inflation
and a reduced number of highway capital projects has caused a gradual reduction in the number of lane miles paved and hence
the average pavement condition rating has declined.
During 2019, the budget was amended through an ordinance (173-96), incre
asing expenditures $70,000 in order to pave a five-
foot portion of the shoulders along CTH DR (Golf Road) from the Delafield city limits to Maple Avenue in the town of Delafield.
This project is funded with $70,000 of donation revenue.
Location: Various locatio
ns throughout the county.
Analysis of Need: The Department of Public Works presently maintains about 400 centerline miles of roadways on the county
trunk system. The typical useful life of pavement is 15 years. The department reconstructed existing two-lane roadways to four-
lane facilities. These four-lane facilities are now coming to the end of their design life and need repaving. As asphalt pavements
age, the surface tends to rut and crack due to vehicle loads and weathering of the asphalt. The department has initiated a
pavement management program, using Cartegraph’s Pavementview software to rate pavement conditions and manage
pavement projects. The average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of asphaltic pavements in 2019 was 62. It is the intention of
this project to continue to maintain and improve current pavement conditions. Resurfacing projects take into consideration the
PCI of existing pavements and classification of the road. The PCI ratings are updated on a rolling three-year schedule.
Alternatives
Spot repairs and patching. The result will be a slight delay in the deterioration of the system.
Resurface roadways based on pavement conditions determined by the PAVER pavement management system and
Department review.
Ongoing Operating Costs: The cost of maintaining a two-lane roadway in good condition is projected to cost about $7,000
per mile annually.

Project Scope & Description
In 2009, the Waukesha County Board adopted the updated Comprehensive Development Plan for Waukesha County. As a result,
an updated Waukesha County Bicycle Plan was developed through a collaborative effort between the Department of Parks and Land
Use, the Department of Public Works, all municipalities within the county, the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, the Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources, and the Southeast Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC). The Waukesha County
Board adopted the Waukesha County Bicycle Plan as part of the Comprehensive Development Plan in 2012. A component of the
Waukesha County Bicycle Plan includes an approximately five-plus mile multi-use trail from the City of Waukesha at Frame Park to
the City of Brookfield Historic Village area along Brookfield Road. This proposed project will develop the three and a half-mile segment
of the trail from a proposed trail access located on North Avenue, south of Watertown Road in the City of Pewaukee, to a proposed
trailhead located near the intersection of River Road and Brookfield Road. The project will be coordinated with the State of Wisconsin
Department of Transportation, Department of Natural Resources, Army Corps of Engineers, City of Brookfield, and City of Pewaukee.
The trail will cross three roadways and the Fox River three times.
The Department of Parks and Land Use will seek funding from multiple sources. The project budget includes $1,696,000 (80:20 cost
share reimbursable program) from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation through the Federal Transportation Alternatives
Program (TAP) Grant. Originally the cost for the restoration of a depot building into a trailhead was included in the expenditure and
revenue budgets. After the initial capital project was approved, and before the TAP funding was applied for, the City of Brookfield
informed the county that they were moving forward with the restoration of the depot before TAP funds would be available for this
component of the project. The restoration project costs were removed from the TAP request. The City of Brookfield's contribution to
the project no longer appears on the capital form as they agreed to fund 100% of the depot part of the project themselves. The county
will fund the rest of the project with county funds and other revenue. Waukesha County applied for a $250,000 State of Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources Stewardship Grant. Waukesha County will fund the remaining costs which will provide the required
match for the Stewardship grant. The county does not anticipate plowing the trail in the winter. Depending on future use and demand,
the cities may cooperatively maintain this trail for year-round use.
Location: The project is located on the abandoned railroad corridor, with
a southern trailhead terminus on North Avenue, just south
of Watertown Road, in the City of Pewaukee, and a northern trailhead terminus at River Road/Brookfield Road in the City of Brookfield.
Features or destinations along the trail include the GE Medical Training Center located on Watertown Road.
Analysis of Need: The project is identified as the northern phase of a north-south connector trail in the Waukesha County Bicycle
Plan. The trail connects to 26 miles of established on and off road trails in the City of Brookfield, connecting residents in several
densely populated areas with a transportation alternative to access employment, retail, and recreation centers. The trail also connects
to the State of Wisconsin Hank Aaron Trail and Milwaukee County Oak Leaf Trail extending impact to about 100 miles of connected
trails and parkways through Milwaukee County. Additionally, the trail also connects to the Brookfield Square Mall, the Sharon Lynne
Wilson Center for the Arts, Waukesha County’s Fox Brook Park, parks in the City of Brookfield and the Village of Elm Grove and
several commercial and business areas including the GE Healthcare Institute.
Alternatives: One alternative examined was to build a connector bicycle lane or paved shoulder facility as part of the CTH F overlay
project (capital project #200905). However, it was a simple overlay project, and not a reconstruction project, and also has limited
available right-of-way for separated trail purposes.
Ongoing Operating Costs: This project will generate an additional three-plus lineal miles of trail to maintain. This facility will be
maintained by the current parks staffing level located at Fox Brook Park, with assistance from the City of Brookfield Parks, Recreation
& Forestry Department.
Previous Action: This Pewaukee to Brookfield trail was previously included in the Phase I: Waukesha-Brookfield Multi-Use Trail
project (#201407), and was approved with this project scope (enrolled ordinance 171-19), but was not awarded federal TAP funding.
This project is proposed to correspond with an application for a later federal funding cycle, and was approved as a new project in the
2018-2022 capital plan. Approved as planned in the 2019-2023 and 2020 - 2024 capital plans

Project Scope & Description
The Metro Mountain Bikers, Inc. (MMB) have partnered with Waukesha County to build and maintain the mountain bike trails in the
previously undeveloped south end of the Minooka Park. To date, four miles of trails have been developed. The bike trailhead is currently
located near an existing parking lot that is shared with adjacent picnic shelter #5. Due to the success of the mountain bike trails, a shortage
of parking can occur when there is heavy use of the trails and also a rental event at the picnic shelter. The parking area is also sometimes
used by users of the nearby hiking trails and equestrian trails, which escalates the shortage. Because of the quality of the mountain bike
trails, and the picturesque natural setting, Minooka Park has become a regional destination for mountain bike riders. Subsequently, MMB
has requested to expand the trails and add feature areas (segments of built structures for different skill level training and experiences) to
meet the growing demand for enhanced riding opportunities. To properly plan for new features and additions to the mountain bike trails,
the parking issue must be addressed. The department created a design that will add enough parking to accommodate all of the user
groups in the south end of the park, and MMB has pledged to raise the funds to construct the parking and the new features. Department
management will enter into a revised agreement with MMB that specifies that the project going forward is contingent upon receipt of MMB
contributions. Since the design and construction phases will both occur in the first year, funds for construction will not be spent until a
standing committee of the County Board approves the project bid process
Phase 1 would include: Construction of the new parking lot to eliminate user conflict by separating
picnic area parking from trailhead
uses, connecting concrete sidewalks to existing restrooms and the new trailhead, fencing to separate bike trails from the parking lot, a
stormwater infiltration area, landscaping, bike racks, and other site amenities/signage.
Phase 2 will include: Expanded trai
ls with bike skills features and additional signage/gates, which are anticipated to bring an increase in
use by skills riders. Construction for Phase 2 will be delayed until 2022 due to a delay in pledged fundraising which can partially be
attributed to the global COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
Locations: Minooka Park 1927 E Sunset Dr, Waukesha, WI 53189
Analysis of Need: The current parking condition requires shared use of the existing undersized parking lot by mountain bikers and Picnic
Area 5 renters, along with hikers and equestrian trail users. The increasing popularity of the mountain bike trails continues to increase
the need for more parking. The MMB request for expansion of the trails and feature areas is not possible without first expanding the
parking and reorganizing the trailhead for the bikers, hikers, and equestrian trail users.
Alternatives
1. Continue to use the existing parking lot and limit the number of events that can happen at the same time.
2. Create a second entrance into Minooka Park or extend the existing road further into the park, to create a new mountain bike
trailhead and parking area, separate from other park uses and not leverage existing amenities.
Ongoing Operating Costs: Ongoi
ng maintenance, including snow/ice clearing in the winter and assisting MMB with brush/tree removal
on the trails, will be performed by existing Minooka Park staff. Minor maintenance of the mountain bike trails, and the new trail features,
will be performed by MMB volunteers under the existing agreement that is in place with Waukesha County. Future maintenance of the
parking lot asphalt will be included in Waukesha County’s ongoing pavement management capital plan. It is anticipated that any increase
in operating costs will be more than offset by an increase in park entrance fees from new users of the facility.

Project Scope & Description
The Waukesha County Exposition Center Arena Building, built in 1972, is a unique oval building with approximately 21,000 square
feet of year-round heated and air-conditioned meeting and exhibit space. It features a domed roof, a stage, three meeting rooms,
a kitchen, two balconies, staff offices, and a box office. The primary heating and cooling system is original to the building. Now at
47 years of service life, replacement parts are no longer available and, when needed, are custom fabricated. This project will
replace the existing estimated 80% efficient heating and air conditioning equipment that serves the main Arena area with a new
automated energy efficient system. The new 95% efficient system will implement a hot water boiler plant and two (2) hot water/DX
indoor air handling units for heating of the main Arena space, and four (4) roof-mounted air-cooled condensing units mounted on
the roof for air conditioning of the space. Heating and cooling of each of the three (3) meeting rooms is currently accomplished with
an individual gas-fired furnace in each room, and an individual exterior air-cooled condensing unit. These furnaces would be
eliminated, and hot water blower coils that are attached to the main system will provide efficient heat for the meeting rooms, and
more efficient air-cooled condensing units will be installed for air conditioning. Ancillary spaces such as vestibules and bathrooms
are currently heated by original electric wall heaters. These spaces will also be heated by hot water cabinet heaters that are tied to
the main system. To maximize efficiency and temperature control, the hot water boiler plant will use a variable primary pumping
system to allow for modulation of the boiler and pumps; each air handling unit will be controlled as single zone variable air volume;
and each condensing unit will contain multiple modulating scroll compressors.
Locations: Waukesha County Exposition Center, 1000 Northview Road, Waukesha, WI 53188
Analysis of Need: The Arena is served by two systems, and each consists of a Tjernlund (obsolete product, out-of-business
manufacturer) gas-fired heater section and an associated blower section with DX refrigerant cooling coil, with two (2) 30-ton remote
condensing units and a centrifugal type return fan. The existing duct systems are run in an inefficient manner, dropping down
through the mezzanine floor and then back up into the mezzanine in order to accommodate the undersized equipment rooms. There
is currently inadequate access space to remove the existing components in case of failure. The gas fired heater section, blower
section, and return fan are also from the original installation of 1972. The gas heater section was 80% efficient when new. The
original condensing units were replaced with new units built in 1986. As noted in the 2007 American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Handbook of Applications, the median service life of the fan/air handling
unit and air cooled condensing units is 20 years. Although not directly identified, the expected service life of the gas heating section
is most likely 20-25 years. This indicates that all of the units are well beyond their useful life span.
Alternatives
1. Install a gas-fired horizontal discharge packaged furnace unit mounted on grade. This approach will require ductwork
external to the building, and modifications to the existing parking lot to accommodate construction of an equipment enclosure
on the west side of the Arena Building. While a slightly cheaper system, cost savings are nullified by the needed structural
modifications and reduced energy efficiency and temperature control flexibility.
2. Continue to operate the existing Expo Arena furnace and mechanical systems. This alternative continues to use custom
fabricated replacement parts. In the event of a failure, a temporary heating/cooling system could be connected to the existing
ductwork in the building for an estimated cost of $10,000+ per day.
Ongoing Operating Costs: The proposed project will reduce annual energy costs to operate the Expo heating and cooling systems,
by an estimated 15-20% per year, an estimated $6,000 per year. Staff time to maintain the equipment will also be significantly
reduced, as will costs associated with sourcing and manufacturing custom parts that are required to repair the existing equipment.

Project Scope & Description
Waukesha County owns the land and buildings, which serve as the University of Wisconsin - Waukesha campus.
Waukesha County and the Regents of the University of Wisconsin entered into a Partnership Agreement on June 11,
1965 and later amended on July 1, 1970 and January 1, 2000 to detail county and university responsibilities related to
the property. The Partnership Agreement details county responsibilities for maintenance items such as infrastructure,
HVAC, plumbing, sidewalks, parking lots, and landscaping. The Partnership Agreement terminates on June 30, 2040.
This project will reconstruct an existing deteriorating asphalt
parking lot, and update the conditions for ADA code
compliance, safety, stormwater management, and improved ease of maintenance and campus function. The project will
include erosion and sediment control, site preparation, drainage improvements, excavation, demolition, pavement
installation, and vegetative restoration.
Location: The
UWW campus is located on University Drive, south of Northview Road, and north of Summit Avenue in
the City of Waukesha.
Analysis of Need
In 2015, an assessment of need and condition evaluation report was completed to review the existing conditions, identify
improvements, and prioritize pavement areas for improvements. The proposed parking lot for this project was
determined to be in poor condition, and it is the last remaining parking lot identified that was not addressed as part of
the 2017-2020 capital project (#201703).
Alternatives
1. Continue to repair failed or poor condition areas as a series of small base patching projects. This will maintain
some function of the parking lot, but it will not achieve the desired surface performance or PCI rating goal to
maintain safet
y.
2.
Do nothing. The parking lot condition will continue to deteriorate, creating pedestrian safety issues and
vehicle
safety hazard
s
.
Ongoing Operating Costs
The proposed project will help to reduce on-going operating costs for UWW involving maintenance and potential risk
areas.
Previous Action: None.

Project Scope & Description
The Pewaukee Lake Access Site, located on the western end of Pewaukee Lake, is the largest public boat launch on 2,493-
acre Pewaukee Lake, which is a very popular and busy lake for recreational boating activities, including pleasure boating,
skiing/tubing, canoeing and kayaking, and fishing. The launch consistently fills to capacity on ideal weather days from late
spring through early fall. This lake access site provides four launch lanes, an asphalt parking lot (for 71 vehicles with trailers
and 4 cars for carry-in), and modern toilet facilities. The property was acquired in 1960 and the launch was constructed in
1964. A restroom/vending building was constructed in 2000 and the parking lot was repaved in 2009. Years of extensive
launching of recreational boats and commercial barges have had a detrimental impact on the launch ramps, which are now in
need of reconstruction.
The current state of the launch ramps requires annual repairs, which have proven to be temporary. The concrete bars that
attach together to make up the framework of the ramps are in a state of deterioration. The base gravel continues to wash out
of open spaces between the concrete bars, and substantial ice heave has caused buckling and uneven ramp slopes.
The proposed reconstruction will replace the existing 2-feet wide concrete bars with more substantial linked precast concrete
panels that are 15 feet wide. These panels will provide a larger surface area to better support the weight of the heavy vehicles
and trailers that have done considerable damage to the existing concrete bars, and they will also provide better resistance to
ice heave. The existing ramps have a continuous 13% slope, which presents challenges to floating boats off of trailers without
requiring tow vehicles to back into the water. The new launch slope will be 10% for the first 15 feet, then 15% for rest of the
launch, which is typical of launch construction. This improved slope will facilitate launching and minimize instances of tow
vehicles having to back into the water. The project also will include dredging to remove sediment deposits that accumulate at
the launch. New decking will be added to the the existing docks to replace composite material decking that has warped over
time.
This project is dependent on the award of a WDNR Recreational Boating Facilities Grant that is a 50/50 funding source. The
other 50% funding is proposed from the Tarmann Fund balance. The design, construction documents and cost estimate for
the project were completed in 2020, and used to develop an accurate project budget.
Location: W305 N2290 Maple Ave, Pewaukee, WI 53072
Analysis of Need: The reconstruction of the boat launch ramps at the Pewaukee Lake Access will maintain boating access
and launch safety at this busy launch site.
Alternatives: Annually repair the degrading concrete bars and gravel base course.
Ongoing Operating Costs: Ongoing maintenance will continue to be performed by the Naga-Waukee Park staff. Costs will
continue to be offset by sales of annual lake access stickers and daily launch fees, which are required to use the facility.

Project Scope & Description
In cooperation with the Public Works Department, the Department of Parks and Land Use retains consultant services to update the
Pavement Management Plan. The plan establishes a uniform procedure for pavement maintenance by establishing a Pavement
Condition Index (PCI). The PCI is a rated scale of 1-100 based on the state of the asphalt. Pavement repairs are scheduled based
on rating. A PCI rating over 70 is satisfactory, and pavement ratings improve up to a scale maximum of 100. The goal is to maintain
an average pavement PCI rating of 70 (“satisfactory”) or better. The focus of the Pavement Management Plan for 2021 and 2022
will be the next phase of pavement improvements at the Expo Center, working toward completion of the work that was initiated at
the Expo Center in 2018 and 2019. Other Park System and Government Center projects will be prioritized based on PCI rating,
safety and access issues. Also in 2021, the pavement surrounding the Highway Operations Center and four (4) Highway Operations
substations will be added to the list of facilities that are evaluated by the pavement management consultant. PCI ratings will be
established for the pavement at these facilities, and they will be prioritized and considered for pavement maintenance/reconstruction
starting in 2022. $10,000 of the total annual expenditure budget will be reserved for preventative pavement maintenance at the UW-
Milwaukee at Waukesha campus, so that pavement reconstruction projects that were undertaken in the 2017-2020 UWW Site
Infrastructure Improvements capital project can be properly maintained as needed. Costs are updated to include an additional
$100,000 in 2021 and 2022 to reflect additional pavement maintenance needs.
Location: The
Waukesha County Department of Parks and Land Use is responsible for the pavement management of the
Government Center Complex, Expo, Parks, Ice Arenas, Golf Courses, Boat Launches, Trails, Highway Operations Substations,
UW-Milwaukee at Waukesha, and various other Waukesha County Facilities. The Department maintains 21 miles of road, 40 miles
of paved trails, and 421,000 square yards of parking area.
Analysis of Need: In 1995 the Waukesha County Department of Parks and Land Use (PLU) retained consulting services to provide
a Pavement Management Plan to assist in cost-effectively managing the pavement assets for the 6 largest parks. At that time there
were six park facilities with 243,000 square yards of paved surface. Currently PLU maintains over 875,000 square yards of paved
surface around the Government Center, remote County facilities and the major parks. This represents approximately 3.6 times as
much pavement to maintain. In addition, over 65,000 square yards of pavement at the Highway Operations Center and four (4)
substations will be added to the list of management responsibilities in 2021. The department uses a PAVER rating system in an
effort to coordinate pavement condition analysis and project bidding with the Department of Public Works to save program cost. The
PAVER rating process includes field surveys of pavement conditions, development of deterioration models, and preparation of a
multi-year pavement management plan. Approximately 80% of the budget will be used for major rehabilitation on sections selected
with a PCI below 40. The remaining budget allocation is first utilized for preventative maintenance on sections with a PCI between
67 and 75, selected on best-first basis; concrete replacement; and consulting. The goal of these practices is to maintain an average
PCI of 70. Anticipated projects may be adjusted due to project coordination efficiencies or accelerated deterioration.
Alternatives: Spot r
epair with asphalt base patching or sealing road surface has been performed to maintain some function of the
roadway or parking area. This could be continued on an annual basis, but will not achieve the desired surface performance or overall
PCI rating goal. Reconstruction will be required sooner and risk issues would be more likely to occur.
Ongoing Operating Costs: Maintenanc
e of the existing road conditions requires frequent patching and seal applications in order
to provide usable conditions and extend pavement life. Operating costs within the next five years will be minimal with the proposed
pavement improvements.

Project Scope & Description
The Health and Human Services Department uses an electronic health record system, that includes several modules among HHS
divisions. This capital project is intended to: (1) Implement a new software solution in the Clinical Services division to improve
the tracking, management, and documentation of health claims across third-party care providers, and (2) Replace the current
Public Health module (Insight) which is being de-supported (discussed below).
HHS management reviewed options f
or the Clinical Services module in 2019, and the 2020 project budget includes funding to
implement the new Clinical Services module. Replacement of the Public Health module required more research from HHS and
the Department of Administration – IT division to investigate system costs and help ensure functionality needs are met, with plans
to request additional funding in 2021 for implementation. The cost update for 2021 includes funds to implement the public health
module replacement.
Location: Department of Health and Human Services
Analysis of Need
The Clinical Services Division relies on multiple contracted third-party entities to provide care to clients. Currently, the billing
process is very manual and time consuming, requiring HHS staff to document and correct billing submissions from the third-party
entities. Department management indicates that it is frequently six months behind in reviews and billing. An electronic solution
would allow HHS to enhance and streamline the process. System functionality may include the ability to aggregate clinical data
to provide a broad picture of the population levels, facilitate care coordination across providers, track clinical quality control
measures and outcomes, and manage authorizations and claims across providers.
The current Public Health module was built upon a Microsoft SQL 2007
server, which is being de-supported. There is a three-
year extended support period that ends by June 2022. After that, there will be no additional security updates, which would put
the system at risk. Implementation of a new, industry-standard billing module is expected to promote efficiencies by eliminating
workaround business processes: Clinical and billing staff time on progress notes; case management billing pre-verification;
remittance and reconciliation; maintaining multiple databases, spreadsheets, paper inventory; and duplication of time and effort.
Alternatives
HHS will explore multiple software solutions to find a cost-effective solution that meet the Clinical Services and Public Health
divisions’ functionality needs.
Ongoing Operating Costs
Department management currently estimate that the ongoing cost for the Clinical Services Division module at about $81,000.
However, streamlining the billing process is expected to save staff time that is currently devoted to documenting and correcting
supporting data. The ongoing costs for the new Public Health module are expected to be a net increase of about $7,000 from the
existing module (mostly already included the department’s base budget).
Previous Action
The current electronic health records systems were implemented as part of the HHS Automated System capital project (#200109).
Approved as a new capital project in the 2020 – 2024 capital plan.

CAPITAL BUDGET SUMMARY
Project Scope & Description
This project addresses the procurement and replacement of the human resource information system (HRIS) and payroll
system. Based on a 2016 study in the first year of this project, it has been determined that the current system is near the end
of its life cycle. The current vendor is no longer providing enhancements, which does not provide the opportunity to create
efficiencies and effective workflows and processes. The second year of the project funds the services of a consultant to assist
in the assessment and selection of the appropriate software vendor. Project funds in the second year are also budgeted to
begin implementation after vendor selection. The new system will allow for process improvements in the area of integration
between existing systems, a centralized database, the minimization of shadow systems, ability to establish electronic vs
manual workflows and processes, more effective communications with management and employees, streamlined payroll
processing, management query and reporting tools, and more cost effective software delivery by using cloud based systems.
Specific HR and Payroll areas to be improved include benefits administration (including interfaces with third-party benefit
providers), HR administration, Affordable Care Act management, new hire reporting to meet federal requirements, recruiting,
employee self-service, document management, performance management, management reporting, and dashboards.
During the implementation of the HRIS system, it was announced in 2018 that the system (Highline) that was purchased was
acquired by
NeoGov. Following this acquisition, it became known that the product was purchased will be replaced by a new
cloud solution. The scope of this project is modified to include a gap analysis of the alternate HRIS application provided by
NeoGov as well as all other modules that are made available to Waukesha County, including time and attendance, through a
fully integrated HRIS suite. It is anticipated that there is sufficient funds available in the current project balance to fund this
change of scope.
Location: All County departm
ents.
Analysis of Need: The current payroll system has been in use since 2004, and will need to be replaced at some point in the
next few years. The current vendor no longer provides enhancements which will enable the County to meet its regulatory
reporting requirements. New system functionality will replace functionality that is now done through a variety of manual tasks.
This project will also transition payroll and HR information systems from self-hosted applications to a cloud-based solution,
freeing up internal IT resources and eliminating the server infrastructure environment supporting the current in-house systems.
Alternatives: Continue with
the current payroll system until replacement is required; pursue the needed Human Resources
functionality in a number of separate projects.
Ongoing Operating Costs: Ongoing annual
maintenance costs for the new vendor selected through the RFP process will
be $189,000. These new costs are expected to be partially offset by savings from discontinuing use of the current payroll
system ($125,000 in annual maintenance fees) and from operating efficiencies.
Previous Action: Approved as a new project in the 2016-2020 capital plan. Approved with a co
st and revenue update in the
2017-2021 capital plan. Approved as planned in the 2018-2022 capital plan.
