Life Cycle Maintenance Cost Analysis

This explanation accompanies our Right of Way & Utility Systems Permit Application. Please contact the Wakefield Department of Public Works Engineering Division at 781-246-6309 if you have any questions. Any applicable life cycle maintenance cost (LCMC) will be calculated at the time of review by the Town Engineer or his/her duly authorized agent. The payment of these fees will be required before the issuance of a permit. The following formula shall be used to calculate the LCMC:

LCMC = ((SFTI x UC) + MF) x RCR

LCMC: Life Cycle Maintenance Cost
SFTI: Square Feet of Trench Impact to Road (sqft)
UC: Unit Cost to reconstruct roadway ($8.00/ft based on current estimates obtained)
MF: Mobilization Fee ($575)
RSR: Roadway Surface Rating (expressed as percentage) from the Town’s pavement management software

The Town Engineer or his/her duly authorized agent may waive the LCMC if it is determined to be in the best interest if the Town. Situations where this may be appropriate include, but are not limited to, new utility service connections constructed directly prior to road reconstruction by the Town or its contractor(s).
