The purpose of this report is to describe the City’s pavement management program and the condition of the overall pavement system in the City of San Carlos.
Benefits from a Pavement Management Program
The Pavement Management program is an example of an asset management system. The fundamentals of the Pavement Management System are discussed in a report provided to the City Council on July 27, 2009.
There are three key benefits resulting from the City of San Carlos use of a Pavement Management Program:
First, it is required in order for the City to be eligible for funding allocated under the state transportation program.
Second, the system provides a best practices method to prioritize city streets for preventative maintenance, rehabilitation, or reconstruction that is based on a fair and systematic approach to evaluating pavement condition.
Third, the program assists the City in determining how best to use limited funds to their maximum benefit.
