HOLES is pleased to present our Parking Lot and Roadway Assurance Program (PLRA).
The program is to give owners and managers assurance that on a minimum of every 30 days, especially in the winter months, that a crew with proper equipment and Hot Asphalt will be onsite completing proper repairs as they develop.
HOLES Liability Assurance Program
Because cell phone use has demanded that anyone who owns or runs public space has no choice then to achieve ZERO Tolerance!
- An ongoing program allows you achieve virtually zero tolerance in regards to liability.
- Monthly invoicing allows most companies with CAM charges to pay for maintenance.
- Asphalt maintenance Programs achieve the largest ROI
- Possibly never having to outlay the capital expense of repaving.
- Freeing up property managers time by not:
- Constantly putting repair projects out to bid.
- Having to be deposed during trip and falls.
- Not getting calls about parking lot or road issues.
How the HOLES Parking Lot and Roadway Assurance Program (PLRA) Works
We evaluate your parking lots and estimate what the typical budget would be to keep the parking lot maintained. For some property owners, that means the following strategy.
Reactionary — Only patching potholes and major failures with simple fill and rolling.
Reactive Maintenance — The above but will crack fill and possibly seal every few years.
Active — Patching holes by Infrared or Milling and repaving. Crack filling yearly and sealing as needed. still, only completed once a year.
Once this has been established, we usually agree on a yearly budget or capital expenditure to complete the work. That is where our PLRA program comes in.
December, January, February, March and April
HOLES will come through your parking lot on a monthly basis. In some instances of severe harsh winters, we will come through after some major storms or freeze thaw cycles. The goal of these months is to be mostly reactive to the stresses and damage that have just occurred. Mostly filling potholes and making repairs. If no repairs we will take a proactive approach to repairing areas that are starting fail and using our Order Of Magnitude method for completing work. (see below)
May, June, July, September October November
If the lot is in a reactionary plan, where there is constantly needed repairs due to lack of preventive maintenance, these months would still be much like the above.
For lots where owners and managers elect not to invest in preventive maintenance, there would be months where there is no reason to visit and perform limited work (unless we are notified of an issue).
Your hours of time would be stockpiled and used in one mobilization. This could mean as much as one full day or more of time working preventative maintenance which could include:
- Crack filling
- Mill, Tack and Repave
- Sealing
- Catch basin repairs
- Drainage work
- Sidewalk, new or repaired
