APPROVE PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
DATED J ULY, 2025
JULY 1, 2025
INVENTORY AND CONDITION ASSESSMENT
1)City uses Goodpointe Technology and their ICON Pavement Management Software
Program to manage and maintain the street network inventory and condition ratings.
2)City wide inventory and condition ratings were completed in 2016 and in 2021.
3)Formalized Pavement Management Plan was approved by City Council in 2023, based
on the 2021 ratings projected through 2023.
4)One of the recommendations adopted in the 2023 PMP is to perform the pavement
condition assessment every 4 years to maintain current assessment data.
5)A detailed surface condition assessment identifies pavement distress type, quantity,
severity, and extent. The condition or PCI is then reported on a scale from 1 to 100.
6)The Pavement Condition Index (PCI) methodology is used nationwide and is endorsed
by the American Public Works Association (APWA) and has been standardized by the
American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM).

DATABASE
CURRENT PAVEMENT CONDITION REPORT
1)The average condition rating for today’s streets is 89 (88.6). This overall rating has
increased from 83 (82.7) in 2023.
2)The average PCI has assumed that the 2025 Street CIP Improvement have been
completed.
3)Historical average PCI.
Year 2025 PCI = 89 96.60 Miles of Streets
Year 2023 PCI = 83 95.60 Miles of Streets
Year 2021 PCI = 79 93.80 Miles of Streets
Year 2016 PCI = 73 78.85 Miles of Streets
4)Other Network PCI indicators.
–PCI for Local Streets 87.8 (82.8 in 2023)
–PCI for Collector/MSA Streets 90.5 (82.5 in 2023)
–PCI for Local & Collectors with curb 96.3 (94.4 in 2023)
–PCI for Local & Collectors with No curb 74.7 (72.1 in 2023)
TREATMENT STRATEGIES
1)Crack Sealing (non-structural). Hot rubberized sealant placed in cracks after routing and
cleaning.
2)Seal Coating (non-structural). Always completed with crack sealing. An emulsified
asphalt spread over the pavement followed by uniform cover of crushed trap rock.
3)Mill and Overlay (structural): Removal of a portion of the bituminous layer followed by
paving 1-1/2 to 2-inch new bituminous.
4)Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) – with and without new concrete curb and gutter.
5)Reconstruction. Removal and replacement of full roadway section.

FINDINGS
1)There are currently 98 miles of city roadways . The city has added 27 miles of new streets since 2013.
2)The average condition rating for today’s streets is 89 (88.6). This represents a street network in very good to
excellent condition and has increased from 83 (82.7) in 2023.
3)The average PCI rating falls to 74.7 for streets with no curb.
4)88.0% of streets are in the “good” or “excellent” category and require only preventative maintenance. This is up
from 78.3% in 2023.
5)6.5% of streets are in the “fair” category and will require additional maintenance considerations, such as a Mill and
Overlay.
6)5.5% of streets are in the “poor” and “failing” categories, requiring a Full Depth Reclamation or complete
Reconstruction. This is down from 15.5% in 2023.
7)The later years of the CIP are based on pavement aging and reflect streets that are currently in good condition.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1)Implement street maintenance and rehabilitation in general accordance with the Street Life Cycle Maintenance and
Rehabilitation Schedule outlined in the Report. Pavement condition ratings should be conducted every 4 years.
2)Maintain an annualized street maintenance budget in the amount of $600,000 over the next 10 years. This includes
crack sealing, seal coating and Mill and Overlays.
3)Continue to investigate alternative maintenance treatments to replace multiple seal coat treatments.
4)Implement the recommended 2026–2035 Street Capital Improvement Plan to address the 5% +/- of streets that
remain “poor” to “failing”.
1)Estimated $26.7 million for local street improvements.
2)Estimated $12.6 million for collector street improvements.
3)Estimated $8.3 million in cost participation for County Roadways.
5)Full Depth Reclamations (FDR) with new concrete curb and gutter continue to be the recommended improvements
for streets with existing bituminous curb, even when the street remains in the “fair” rating category. FDR is an
assessable improvement.
6)Full Depth Reclamations (FDR) without new concrete curb and gutter will provide the city with an effective and cost-
efficient rehabilitation technique for its pavement management program in the years to come. This will become the
go-to rehabilitation technique when today’s newer streets are ready for rehabilitation.
Requested Council Action
•Council is asked to consider approving the Pavement Management update,
dated July, 2025.
