Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors receive the Pavement Asset Management Plan 2015 summarizing the condition of roads in the unincorporated areas of Monterey County.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
RMA-Public Works is in the process of developing infrastructure assessments for all components of the transportation system such as: pavement, bridges, signs, striping/marking, guardrails, and culverts.

The attached report, Pavement Asset Management Plan 2015, is the first of these infrastructure assessments. The purpose of this report is to detail the current condition of this asset, review strategies for making improvements, prioritize investments given the limited funding available, and explore options for increasing resources.

The backlog of pavement repairs is $741 Million and the current funding provided for pavement repairs of $5 Million per year will need to be increased to $15 to $20 Million per year to start to improve the pavement conditions on County roads.
