SUBJECT AND ISSUE
Report on Pavement Management Program, Street Conditions and Preventative Maintenance.
BACKGROUND
The City contracts with the engineering firm of Harns and Associates to update the City's Pavement
Management Program (PMP), which is done every two years. Last completed on March 28, 2008, the
update will be undertaken again this summer. The PMP provides an objective and scientific management
tool to inventory street pavement, assess pavement conditions, record historical maintenance activity,
forecast budget needs, and to view the impacts of the funding on the City -wide pavement condition over
time.
The PMP model for cities is based on standardized software and methodology developed by the
Metropolitan Transportation Commission and is used by most cities throughout the bay area. It is also the
model approved by the Santa Clara Talley Transportation Authority (VTA) when allocating funds to
projects sponsored by its member agencies.
All city streets are constructed with asphalt pavement that deteriorates over time by both traffic loading and
weathering. Preventative maintenance on city streets is very important, because it can sustain a street's
condition over time with relatively low cost as compared to having to reconstruct the entire street. Street
reconstruction is at least 30 times more costly than slurry seal and up to 5 times more expensive that an
asphalt overlay. The condition of city streets is based on a visual distress rating system resulting in an overall
Pavement Condition Index (PCI).
This methodology was adopted by cities many years ago to ensure that preventative maintenance is applied
through a uniform, objective and engineering based process. Prior to the adoption of the PMP and PCI
methodology many cities were faced with what been characterized as a ' first come, first served" process
and/or based on who complains loudest and longest. T7us approach, while perhaps satisfying some residents
in the short term, is neither objective nor fair to the entire city. It also does not effectively and efficiently
apply scarce resources to preventative street maintenance.

DISCUSSION
Condition of Cupertino's Suet Asphalt Pavement (PCI)
The City's average pavement condition is an overall PCI of 69 on a 100 -point scale with 100 being a
completely new street. The PCI number is misleading as it is often incorrectly read as a "grade" like 69%
out of 100 %, which in academic terms would usually be called a substandard of even failing grade. PCI
does not mean that at all. What it means instead is that the overall condition of Cupertinno's street system is in
the high range of MTC's designation of Good condition.
In fact, the specific condition ranking of Cupertinno's 142 miles of streets shows that 92% of the street miles
are in Good or Very Good condition requiring little more than periodic slurry sealing or at most a thin
asphalt overlay.
The balance of 8% is considered to be in poor condition requiring a thicker asphalt overlay. Fortunately,
although the PMT estimates that there may be only two tenths of a mile of Cupertino streets that are in very
poor condition that would require complete reconstruction; the report does not specify any segments of
streets to which that might apply.
The implication of the overall street conditions in Cupertino in terms of cost is that streets in good, very
good or new condition require maintenance that is mostly slurry seal ($2.50 / sq yd), a cape seal ($5.50 / sq
yd) or a thin asphalt overlay ($16.00 / sq yd). Very few streets would require a thick asphalt overly ($25.00 /
sq yd). As noted above no street segments are identified as requiring complete structural reconstruction
($77.00 - $80.00 sq / yd) and therefore no street reconstruction is proposed by staf.
Description of Street Maintenance Methods
As noted above, there are three specific types of work that are employed to maintain the life and condition
of a street segment. These are Slurry Seal, Cape Seal and Pavement Overlays. A brief description of each in
ascending order of magnitude follows:
• Pavement Restoration — This is a small project that is designed to repair particular sections of
pavement where it is not required for the entire street to be overlaid or sealed. This work consists of
digging out and replacing discrete areas of the pavement that have failed, or are about to fail,
structurally.
• Slurry Seal — This work consists of applying a mixture of hot asphalt oil, a graded aggregate rock,
water, and additives to the pavement surface. Slurry seals are used for sealing aged and worn
pavements, filling minor cracks, restoring skid resistance and restoring aesthetic appeal. This
application serves to protect and preserve the pavement surface and extend its useful life.
• Cape Seal — This work is the combination of two sealing and rehabilitation methods, chip seal and
slurry seal. First a chip seal is applied, which is a hot asphalt spray binder with a single size
aggregate rock mixed into it It is then followed within a few days by a slurry seal. While more
expensive, this combination method provides an additional measure of pavement surface durability
and has more restorative impact on the pavement than a straight slurry . The only downside is that in
the period between the chip seal and the slurry seal, sometimes the small aggregate comes loose as
vehicles travel over it creating a nuisance for drivers.
28 -2
• Pavement Overlay — An overlay consists of placing an additional asphalt pavement layer
(generally 2" to 3'� on top of the existing street surface. This method is typically used in
combination with surface milling, i.e., the grinding of several inches of the existing pavement and
either re-using the grindings with hot oil additives or replacing it with a new layer of asphalt
pavement. This is the most comprehensive resurfacing method used to restore structural integrity.
Staff continues to explore the cost- effectiveness of other potential pavement maintenance methods in order
to try to make the best use of the available funds.
BUDGET NEEDS ANALYSIS
Following the treatment strategy noted above, the PMP generates a budget needs analysis which projects,
based on current unit cost estimates, the annual budget need to maintain the City's streets in a condition that
only requires minor preventative maintenance. The intent is to maintain the streets with an overall pavement
condition index (PCI) of 70 or more.
The latest Pavement Management Program update recommends that the City's goal should be to budget a
minim of $1.5 Million annually is expected to increase the PCI and maintain the overall PCI at 70 over a
four year period through 2012. In calendar year 2009, the pavement management program completed
approximately $2 Million of pavement maintenance work. That year, approximately $500,000 of
Proposition 42 funds was available. The 2010 Pavement Management Program will have the following
available to carry out pavement management activities, as also shown in Exhibit A.
Proposition 1B Funding $ 800,000
Jobs for Main Street Act (ARRA In 700,000
PM Funds Recommended (10-11 CIP) 750,000
Total PM Funding 2010 -11 $ 2,250,000
PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE PROJECT SCHEDULE
Exhibit A outlines the prospective pavement management projects that are nearing design completion and
will be competitively bid beginning in May and June 2010. Each work type category shows a primary list of
street segments and an add alternate list The primary lists show the work that is likely to be completed
based on current cost estimates, while the add alternate lists show additional work that can be added if
sufficiently favorable bids are received. To the extent possible, work that takes place adjacent to or near a
school is to be completed by the time schools reopen in the fall. In cases where work must proceed beyond
the start of school, hours of work will be constrained to limit the impact on school commutes.
This report is for the Council's information and no action is required.
