Why FDRS formed APEC
FDRS, the parent firm of APEC, performs reserve studies as well as other civil engineering services. In the process of preparing reserve studies, it became apparent that there is a need to develop long term maintenance plans for their pavement assets. While the reserve study provides financial projections for the pavement component, the basis for that projection, as outlined in the CAI National Standards for reserve studies, is a "field observation" rather than a detailed investigation of the pavement condition based on a technical evaluation of the pavement structure by an engineer. Many communities chose to have separate pavement maintenance plans prepared by non-engineering firms that are "needs" based, lacking technical evaluations, and are not integrated with the reserve study to determine the impact on the communities financial ability to pay for the programmed maintenance. FDRS formed APEC to provide the technical evaluation and develop a maintenance plan that is integrated with the reserve study. This may mean that both the maintenance plan and the reserve funding may have to be modified but the result is a plan that works for the community.
