Review of Trash occurs after roadways drop to a PCI score of 60 or lower. Studies <br />Collection have shown that every dollar spent performing preventative <br /> maintenance on a roadway with a PCI of 70 or higher saves $4 in <br />Im <br />acts future costs - it would otherwise cost about $5 to rehabilitate the <br />p same roadway once rapid deterioration occurs' (as shown in <br /> Figure 1). Ensuring adequate funding for an effective pavement <br /> management system is, therefore, critical to achieving a cost <br /> effective pavement management system. <br /> Figure 1 <br /> Good Roads Cost Less to Maintain <br /> Pavement Condition Index Goal 70+ <br /> 10 $1 for <br /> ~zLel~r<t /renovation here <br />d <br /> 85 <br /> Gored will cost <br /> 70 $4 to $5 <br /> Pavement Fair here <br /> Condition 55 , <br /> Index Roar <br /> <br /> ~~ ~ f <br />~' <br /> x <br />~ <br /> ; <br />~~ <br />' <br />. <br /> ~ _ <br />, <br /> 5 years 10 years 15 years 20 years 25 years <br /> The goal of a pavement management program is to bring all roads <br /> up tv a "good" to "excellent" condition where they can be <br /> maintained most cost effectively. The strategy often <br /> recommended is referred to as the "Best First Approach", which <br /> concentrates spending initially on routine and preventative <br /> maintenance on those reads that are currently in "fair" tv "good" <br /> condition. This extends the useful life of those roads, preventing <br /> rapid deterioration. Spending money on routine maintenance now <br /> prevents additional spending in the future on more expensive <br /> repairs. <br /> The City's goal is to maintain a PCI of greater than 70 which falls <br /> within the "Good" range. The City has been able to maintain its <br /> streets at or near this target which has allowed it to provide cost <br /> effective maintenance. The 2008 and 2009 approved budgets, <br /> however, do not provide sufficient funding to maintain streets at <br /> their current level. The 2008 budget is more than $1.0 million less <br /> than that required to maintain streets at their current level while <br /> the 2009 budget is more than $2.5 million less than required.
