  1. FD05 Pavement Evaluation Process Operations and Pavement Management Branch

  2. Previous FD05 Evaluation Process • Districts submitted list of projects to Central Office for evaluation. • Pavement Management engineers performed visual assessments of pavement distresses. • Rideability values were collected using laser profilers. • Projects were ranked according to year of recommended treatment and total distress points.

  3. Problems with Previous Process • Some pavements occasionally slipped through the cracks and were not submitted for evaluation. • Could not develop deterioration models. • Process did not provide a method to identify potential preventive maintenance candidates.

  4. Current Process Overview • All MP sections are evaluated on a 3-year cycle (with some exceptions). • Scores from previous year evaluations are increased to account for deterioration. • Districts can add more points to sections to account for other issues or excessive deterioration since evaluation. • Meetings are held with Districts to prioritize projects after evaluations have been completed.

  5. Benefits to New Process • Eliminates need to provide annual list of pavements for evaluation. • Pavements that might have been overlooked previously will be evaluated on a regular basis. • Data can be used to develop performance models. • Provides guidance for identifying preventive maintenance opportunities.

  6. Process Details • Each spring, a list of all MP pavements is provided to the district with their current deterioration score. • Sections that are already planned for resurfacing and those that are scheduled to be evaluated in the current year are identified on the list. • At the request of the District, additional sections can be evaluated.

  7. Process Details (cont.) • At the end of the summer, a new list will be provided which ranks projects by year of recommended treatment and total distress points. • As needed, projects may be removed from the list by the District as upcoming construction or other issues dictate. • Once projects have been prioritized, District personnel provide estimated costs to Central Office. • Central Office determines district budget allotment and submits resurfacing program to State Highway Engineer for approval.

  8. FD05 District Allotment Factors • Total Budget Available • Lane Miles • Average Cost of Asphalt • Average Rideability • Miles Needing Resurfacing • Cost Estimates

  9. FD05 Budget Issues • Total MP Mileage is approximately 13,400 miles. • Need to resurface about 1,150 miles per year. • Current average cost per mile is $145,000. • Total Annual Need is $166.7 million. • FY2014 budget was approximately $110 million + $35 addl • Current Total Need is $494 million. • FY2014 budget would cover about 1/4 of total need.

  10. FD05 Budget Issues • Current backlog requires diligent oversight of FD05 budget. • If projects come in under estimated cost, additional projects may be completed in that district (as identified in original priority list). • Projects coming in under cost do not become eligible for more significant treatments.
