• <br />• <br />Draft Draft 4 -18 -2005 Draft <br />I. PURPOSE <br />The Pavement Management Program (PMP) sets forth a system for the optimal <br />maintenance of streets to extend their useful life and the reconstruction of streets, which <br />have exceeded their useful life, and establishes a funding strategy to maximize available <br />resources to carry the maintenance and reconstruction activities. <br />The Pavement Management Program Policies will guide the timing and type of <br />maintenance actions and reconstruction activities and the financing of activities. These <br />policies will preserve the City's asset of streets, provide for the safe and efficient travel of <br />its citizens, retain property values, keep the City attractive and desirable, and minimize <br />costs to the property owners and taxpayers of the City. <br />II. ESTABLISHMENT OF RATING SYSTEM <br />A. Background. <br />In 2004, the City and TKDA investigated and evaluated every block of City pavement to <br />establish its condition based upon what defects each block contained. City records were <br />investigated to obtain knowledge of how old each block is and what maintenance has <br />occurred throughout its history. This information was then entered into a nationally <br />accepted computer program that identifies and analyzes all defects in each block of road <br />and records it together with all relevant information concerning that block to determine <br />the capable condition of the street. <br />B. Index. <br />The program rates the streets by using an Overall Condition Index (OCI) having a 1 -100 <br />scale with 100 being a perfect new street. It then projects the OCI of a segment and gives <br />budget- dependent maintenance protocols for a given time period. It is the City's goal to <br />maintain an overall OCI rating of 70. <br />C. Rating Procedure. <br />Each City street shall be rated every four years by the public works /engineering staff. <br />This will be accomplished by reviewing 25% of the street mileage every year. <br />III. PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT CATEGORIES <br />The pavement management categories considered for City streets will be as follows: <br />A. Street Reconstruction (OCI 0 -40, "Problem" category) <br />Includes: Storm Sewer <br />Grade Changes <br />Subgrade Correction (Major /Minor) <br />Install Concrete Curb and Gutter <br />Pavement Management Policy 1 04/18/05 <br />
