In 1993 the Metropolitan Government Pavement Engineers Council (MGPEC) was
established to represent all of the cities and counties in the DRCOG (Denver Regional Council of Governments) planning area. Our
goal is to improve the quality of pavements throughout the Denver-Metropolitan region, and lower the life-cycle cost of pavement
maintenance at the local level through the use of standardized paving materials and uniform design, construction and maintenance
practices.
MGPEC is an example of partnerships
that are accomplishing activities that will advance improvements in how we manage our infrastructure on a day-to-day basis.
MGPEC efforts have been recognized nationally and internationally.
MGPEC actively promotes pavement management programs for all local governments in the Denver-Metro
area and works to develop positive working relationships between local government engineers who are responsible for pavements
in those areas.
In this past year MGPEC has
accomplished a large number of goals that will benefit all of us as either taxpayers or the traveling public.
· Several public/private industry task forces were formed to evaluate
the uniform specifications as we continue to strive for the best possible projects.
· Our membership continues to grow each year as our standards are utilized
by more and more entities.
· Provided various training opportunities
for our membership and the pavement community.
