Title
Receive the Pavement Asset Management Plan 2015.
Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Budget Committee receive a report on Pavement Asset Management Plan 2015.
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. This effort will help to define the current state of county infrastructure, the cost to bring it to a good state of repair, and help to prioritize investments given the limited funding available.
The attached report, Pavement Assessment Management Plan 2015, is the first of these infrastructure assessments. The purposes 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.
There are 1,100 centerline miles of roads in the unincorporated area of Monterey County and the pavement on these roads represents a $1.4 billion asset. The condition of that asset has a direct impact on the citizens, visitors and commerce of this County.
The current overall pavement condition in Monterey County is poor and 99% of all centerline miles require some type of pavement treatment. 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.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
RMA-PW will present this report to the Capital Improvement Committee on May 11, 2015 for consideration.
FINANCING:
There are no budget impacts as a result of receiving this report.
