Subject: Road Maintenance Operations Plans Version 1.0
This information bulletin (IB) announces the availability of Road Maintenance Operation Plans (RMOP) Data Standard. The data standard defines how this type of data is to be captured in a Geographic Information System (GIS), defines attributes used, and defines coding schemes (domains). The data has been added to the corporate spatial data editing system. Edits to the data can be completed by approved field personnel following established procedures and are also available for display and analytical purposes by all users.
The dataset holds information on planned road maintenance activities. Road Maintenance activities include grading, brushing, culvert cleanout, slide removal, ditch maintenance, blowdown tree removal, bridge maintenance, culvert replacement, chip seal, shoulder maintenance, surfacing cleaning/sweeping, surface aggregate replacement, and hot mix patching.
The Road Maintenance Operation Plans (RMOP) are prepared each fiscal year and prioritize the roads the organization plans to maintain that year. The dataset portrays the RMOP. It also includes the recommended time of year for when the work can be done, shows if the work will be completed by the maintenance crew or contractors, and shows if data is associated with a timber sale haul route.
The draft data standard was issued for internal review and comment prior to this IB. To see comments and responses of that review, contact Eric Hiebenthal, State Data Administrator, at 503-808-6565, or by email at ehiebent@blm.gov.
Any questions about this data standard can be directed to Mellissa Rutkowski, State Data Steward for RMOP, at 503-808-6598; Ryan Kelley, GIS Technical Lead for RMOP, at 503-8086495; or Eric Hiebenthal, State Data Administrator, at 503-808-6565.
