Body
BACKGROUND:
City streets, once constructed, need periodic maintenance to get the expected life out of the pavement, which with timely maintenance, is estimated to be twenty years. Maintenance efforts thus need to be completed once every five to six years.
City Staff initiated a PMP in 2014 to get the maximum life possible out of our existing streets and newly constructed streets. In order to support the PMP, key tasks were required to be completed and/or get underway in the first three years of the Program.
The first task was to identify what condition each City street was in. To do this all the streets in the City were driven to determine what was the best next step to keep the street in repair. The streets were rated as follows: needing minimal routine maintenance, needing crack sealing and slurry, requiring a grind and overlay or needing a full reconstruction. This is essentially what is shown on the color-coded PMP Map (Attachment 1 to this Report). The color codes represent the ratings as described above.
The second task was to do a formal Pavement Condition Index (PCI) rating of the streets where cracks are measured, ride quality is rated, bumps and dips are rated, potholing, shoving and deflections, weathering and raveling, etc.. are all considered. This rating index is based on a 1 to 100 rating assessment. Staff is making progress on the overall City-wide PCI to comply with requirements of Senate Bill 1...
