AGENDA TITLE:
Title
Discussion of Public Streets Pavement Condition Index (PCI)
Body
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Town of Paradise Valley contracts with Infrastructure Management Services (IMS) to conduct detailed assessments of the condition of public streets in Town. These assessments, known as the Pavement Condition Index (PCI), are numerical ratings based on the type and severity of damage observed on the pavement surface. The PCI value is represented by a numerical score between 0 and 100, where 0 is the worst possible condition and 100 is the best possible condition. The Town uses PCI data to establish the rate of deterioration of pavement sections and identify rehabilitation needs.
During the Study Session, Zac Thomason, Director of Client Services for (IMS), will explain the (PCI) rating system and present the pavement condition results from the pavement study conducted in June of 2019. The PCI is a helpful tool in determining the return on investment for the annual budget, for the Pavement Management Program.
