PUBLIC COMMENTS ON AGENDA ITEMS AND NON-AGENDA MATTERS
Missy Barbara questioned why Wilmington Avenue was not added to the City’s 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan. She stated that she was told by Mr. Strickland that the street would be added to the list because it should have been repaved several years ago when Central Avenue was repaved. She claimed that 250 South Central Avenue and 1950 South Central Avenue could not be sold and asked who would be living in those homes. She asked that the Third District election banners at Compton Airport be removed immediately and maintained that the residents do not want it in their neighborhood.
M.D. petitioned the City Manager to scrutinize the Sheriff’s Department for not addressing the reckless drivers traveling up and down Rosecrans Avenue, El Segundo Avenue and Wilmington Avenue every weekend. He suggested that law enforcement dismantle their vehicles to teach the lawbreakers a lesson and to avoid car accidents.
3. Lynn Boone alleged that this election process is not routine. She stated that one month ago, three items were placed on the Consent Agenda, and they should not have been.

She encouraged the residents to research the candidates running for office so that they can change the dynamics of this City Council in March.
City Clerk McDaniel clarified that all election ordinances are enacted on the day that they’re approved – there is not a 30-day waiting period for election ordinances.
Fidel Marquez referenced Item Number Five and asked the City Manager why the City only needs three months of security to reduce theft in the Public Works yard. He asked that the residents be made aware of property theft because they will be held financially responsible. He requested the City Manager’s plan for addressing homelessness in the City of Compton because residents have witnessed buses of people being dropped off at 4:00am.
Vanessa Cain questioned if the Los Angeles County Registrar Recorder County Clerk’s Office reviewed the document that was stamped November 9, 2023. She expressed a concern for the process of voting and making sure that it works for everyone.

Tanya Lewis thanked the City Manager for providing a breakdown of expenses for the Sacramento Legislative Tour. She requested a report back from the council members regarding any decisions that will have an impact on the City of Compton. She alleged that one of the council members went somewhere one month ago and did not report anything back.
Mayor Sharif made it clear that she provided a report when she returned from Governor Newsom’s Broadband legislation event held in Sacramento, California.

1 MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITY OF COMPTON
AND THE
REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
FOR A MOBILE STROKE UNIT PROGRAM
This Agreement for Emergency Stroke Transport Services ("Agreement") is made and entered into effective as of [INSERT] (the "Effective Date"), by and between The Regents of the University of California, on behalf of the UCLA Health System and the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Department of Neurology (collectively, "UCLA"), and City of Compton ("PROVIDER").
RECITALS
A. UCLA owns and operates the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and the Santa Monica - UCLA Medical Center and Orthopedic Hospital which are licensed acute care hospitals located at 757 Westwood Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90095 and 1250 16th Street, Santa Monica, CA 90404.
B. PROVIDER is a municipal corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of California with the power to carry on its business as it is being conducted under the statutes of the State of California and the Municipal Code of PROVIDER. The PROVIDER’s Fire Department is fully licensed and accredited to provide emergency medical transportation services.
C. A Mobile Stroke Unit (“MSU”) is an ambulance that has a Computerized Tomography (CT) scanner capable of performing head CTs in the community and prior to arriving at a hospital.
D. A Mobile Stroke Unit Team (“MSU Team”) is an organized group of health care providers that specialize in stroke care and may include, but not limited to a radiology technician, registered nurse, paramedic, and vascular or emergency neurologist.
E. A Mobile Stroke Unit Program (“MSU Program”) is a predetermined plan that requires a MSU and MSU Team who respond in an ambulance and provide high level, on-scene, acute stroke care. The program is approved by the EMS Agency to be deployed in the prehospital setting to provide rapid assessment of suspected acute stroke patients by utilizing a mobile CT scanner able to transmit images to a remote site or on scene and provide a hard copy to receiving hospitals. Further elements of the program can include treatment with intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (Alteplase or Tenecteplase), hemostatic agents, and blood pressure medications and determination of appropriate hospital destination depending on CT scanner findings and consultation with base station to support the suspected stroke patient.
F. The Department of Health Services Los Angeles County issued a MSU Mutual Aid Report, dated September 29, 2017, and prehospital care policy, Reference No. 817 Regional Mobile Response Team, dated September 15, 2017, which policy defines the requirements for MSUs, the activation and approval process for MSU Teams, and the general topics that must 2 be addressed in a contract between a MSU Program and any Exclusive Operating Area Provider, as defined therein.
G. UCLA and PROVIDER desire to enter into this Agreement regarding emergency stroke transport services as a pilot program.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants set forth below, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1.1 Basic Services. PROVIDER shall access the UCLA MSU as a mutual aid resource, as per Los Angeles EMS Agency Policy 817 (Regional Mobile Response Team), in order to transport patients from the location of patient pickup to the appropriate receiving hospital.

The UCLA MSU is available to other provider agencies in Los Angeles County through the mutual aid policy.
1.2 PROVIDER shall allow UCLA access to the appropriate data sources for process and outcomes measures of patients transported by the UCLA MSU, for program performance improvement and research purposes. These data sources may be hosted by PROVIDER or a contracted affiliate of PROVIDER (such as the Get With The Guidelines data source through the Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services Agency).
1.3 PROVIDER shall provide two (2) mobile radios to ensure electronic communication between the UCLA MSU and PROVIDER’s dispatch center. All equipment shall remain the property of PROVIDER throughout the duration of this Agreement, and shall be returned to PROVIDER upon termination of the Agreement.

Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU) Operations. The Mobile Stroke Unit (MSU) is a crucial tool in the race against time when it comes to stroke emergencies. By bringing the hospital to the patient, California's first MSU provides rapid and accurate diagnosis and treatment of stroke before the patient even reaches the hospital. The MSU has been serving as a shared regional resource for LA County since its launch in September 2017, and its team has been working tirelessly to expand its coverage to as many citizens as possible.
To achieve this goal, the MSU team has collaborated with multiple LA County fire departments located within a 10-12 mile radius of its operational sites. The program began operating solely out of the Western geographical site where they partnered with a single fire department, Santa Monica Fire Department (SMFD). Initially, clinical services were offered for 10 hours per day, four days per week, on alternate weeks.
Thanks to the support of the County Board of Supervisors and LA County EMS leaders, the program has grown significantly. The MSU now collaborates with six fire department partners across three geographic sites (Western, Southern, and South Bay), providing clinical coverage for acute stroke dispatches 12 hours per day, six days per week. This expansion has enabled the MSU to reach and serve more people in need, saving precious minutes and potentially lives in the process.

Legislation and Advocacy
Assembly Bill 2117
We recognized the need for both clinical and cost-effectiveness data to promote the widespread implementation of Mobile Stroke Units (MSUs) for stroke care. In collaboration with Assembly member Mike Gipson and the County Board of Supervisors, we began advocating for state-level legislative changes that would enable insurers to bill for MSU care.
Assembly Bill 2117 was introduced to define MSUs as a clinical place of service, allowing them to function as multijurisdictional mobile facilities that provide emergency response critical care ambulance services under the direction and approval of a local Emergency Medical Services (EMS) agency. These units also serve as diagnostic, evaluation, and treatment centers, offering radiographic imaging, laboratory testing, and medical treatment under the supervision of a physician in person or through telehealth, for patients exhibiting stroke symptoms.
The bill was crafted in accordance with relevant federal laws and regulations governing MSUs.
On September 29, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom signed the bill into law, demonstrating his enthusiasm and support for this innovative initiative. This achievement reinforces the important role MSUs play in California's emergency systems of care, enabling patients to receive timely and effective treatment. With the backing of the California assembly, senate, and governor, MSUs have the potential to revolutionize stroke care and save countless lives.

Recent Community Outreach and Education
Stroke Education—Torrance Fire
Dr. Nour conducted a series of continuing education lectures on stroke and prehospital medicine for the paramedics in the Torrance Fire Department
Inglewood 5K & Health Fair
On Sunday 10/30/22 the team brought the ambulance and set up a booth with UCLA health at Edward Vincent Park. We educated the community on risk factors and signs and symptoms of strokes. Dr. Nour gave an education speech. We all participated in the 5K. During our time there we met the daughter of a patient the MSU admitted who was very appreciated of our services.
Stroke Education—
Torrance Farmers Market
On 5/21/22 the MSU team partnered with J&J to educate the community on the awareness of the MSU and strokes. “A parent came up to us and explained how she has some heart issues that puts her at a higher risk for stroke. She brought her teenage daughter over to the rig, and asked the team to coach her daughter on the signs, symptoms, and next steps when witnessing a stroke. She stated her daughter would have to be the one to save her, in the event of a stroke. The team coached her daughter on FAST, and she passed a quiz with flying colors and won a T-shirt.”

Innovation
Best-MSU Study
The UCLA Health MSU participated as one of 7 US cities in the pivotal US study, Benefits of Stroke Treatment Delivered Using a Mobile Stroke Unit Compared to Standard Management by Emergency Medical Services (Best-MSU). This study not only showed improved access to stroke care and treatment but as a result better clinical outcomes for patients treated on MSUs compared to those who were treated later in the emergency department.

Identifying Areas of Clinical Needs
Geospatial Mapping of Stroke Incidence in LA County
In an effort to identify the positioning of future mobile stroke units with the ability to impact the greatest number of stroke patients, our team performed sophisticated geospatial mapping to understand the incidence stroke in LA County. AI algorithm determined the location of 5 MSUs in high incidence areas in overlapping 10 mile radii and an additional 2 units in geographically remote areas.

SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ISSUE A PURCHASE ORDER
TO WAXIE ENTERPRISES, INC. DBA WAXIE SANITARY SUPPLY FOR
THE PROCUREMENT OF EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES ON AN AS-
NEEDED BASIS FOR THE GENERAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT
($70,000.00)
SUMMARY
This resolution will authorize the City Manager to issue a purchase order to Waxie Enterprises, Inc. DBA Waxie Sanitary Supply (Waxie) for the procurement of equipment and supplies on an as-needed basis for the General Services Department in the amount not to exceed SEVENTY THOUSAND ($70,000.00) DOLLARS AND ZERO CENTS.
BACKGROUND
The General Services Department is responsible for the maintenance and general upkeep of City facilities that encompass administrative buildings, park facilities, fire stations, service yards, and leased properties.
Due to the high daily usage of City facilities, staff utilizes various supplies and materials in large quantities to keep and maintain all of the facilities in an orderly fashion. The ability to efficiently order materials and maintain supplies is paramount to the Department’s operation. Waxie equipment (paper towels, soap, and tissue dispensers, etc.) and products (toilet tissue, paper towels, air fresheners, etc.) have been installed and utilized in all City facilities to provide uniformity in appearance, quality, and to uphold cleaning standards. In doing so, the dispensers and supporting equipment for these products only fit Waxie products and this purchase order will allow staff to ensure all facilities are properly stocked with sufficient supplies at all times.
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
In the past, the Department has requested authorization as a sole source procurement vendor as Waxie’s equipment is designed to only operate within their product lines. The City currently has Waxie’s equipment installed throughout its facilities. Consequently, Waxie is the only qualified vendor that can provide these products. In addition, Waxie is part of the Omnia Partners Nationwide Cooperative Agreement Contract Number 2020002301. California Government Code Section 6500 authorizes public agencies to participate in cooperative purchasing agreements like those established by Omnia Partners Nationwide.

CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON
APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE POSITION CLASSIFICATION
PLAN TO INCLUDE THE CLASSIFICATION SPECIFICATION OF
LIABILITY CLAIMS EXAMINER AND PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER
SUMMARY
The City Council will consider adopting a resolution amending the Position Classification Plan to include the classification specification of Liability Claims Examiner and Public Information Officer.
BACKGROUND
The City Manager authorized a review of the City’s current Position Classification Plan to include the position of Liability Claims Examiner and Public Information Officer.
On November 16, 2023, the City and representatives of the applicable employee bargaining union, Compton Management Employees Association (“CMEA”)/AFSCME Local 2325, met, conferred and agreed to amend the Position Classification Plan to include the new classification specification of Liability Examiner.
The Public Information Officer position is unclassified and considered Confidential and is not represented by a bargaining union.
Subsequent to conducting a properly noticed and public hearing pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1010 and 1103 of the Compton City Charter, the Personnel Board approved the proposed amendment to the Position Classification Plan to include the classifications of Liability Examiner and Public Information Officer and recommended approval and adoption thereof to the City Council at its meeting conducted on March 7, 2024.
STATEMENT OF ISSUE
After review, staff has determined it to be fair and necessary to amend the Position Classification Plan by adding the Liability Examiner and Public Information Officer classifications.
9.9.9.9.9.9.9. Staff Report – Resolution Amending Position Classification Plan to Include Liability Claims Examiner and Public Information Officer
September 3, 2024 Page 2
The primary purpose for adding the Liability Claims Examiner position to the Position Classification Plan is to have a Classified employee who will adjust, mitigate, and negotiate various liability claims that the City receives monthly.
The primary purpose for adding the Public Information Officer position to the Position Classification Plan is to make this an internal role. This will allow for greater flexibility with providing timely and accurate information to the residents. The Public Information Officer will be readily available to execute any information / social media campaigns, and will be a more cost-effective option.
These revisions will update the existing Position Classification Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT
The salary range for the Liability Claims Examiner is 140A and the salary range for Public Information Officer is 189A.
The salaries for the above new classifications are already included in the City’s 2024- 2025 Fiscal Year’s budget in the City Manager’s Office, 1001-510-000-4101, therefore no anticipated fiscal impact will result from approving the requested action.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached Resolution.

EXHIBIT C – NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS (NBS) BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES Municipalities shall consider incorporation of Nature-based solutions (NBS) into their projects. NBS refers to the
sustainable management and use of nature for undertaking socio-environmental challenges, including climate change,
water security, water pollution, food security, human health, and disaster risk management. As this environmental
management practice is increasingly incorporated into projects for the SCW Program, this guidance document may be
expanded upon to further quantify NBS practices based on benefits derived from their incorporation on projects.
The SCW Program defines NBS as a Project that utilizes natural processes that slow, detain, infiltrate or filter
Stormwater or Urban Runoff. These methods may include relying predominantly on soils and vegetation; increasing the
permeability of Impermeable Areas; protecting undeveloped mountains and floodplains; creating and restoring riparian
habitat and wetlands; creating rain gardens, bioswales, and parkway basins; enhancing soil through composting,
mulching; and, planting trees and vegetation, with preference for native species. NBS may also be designed to provide
additional benefits such as sequestering carbon, supporting biodiversity, providing shade, creating and enhancing parks
and open space, and improving quality of life for surrounding communities. NBS include Projects that mimic natural
processes, such as green streets, spreading grounds and planted areas with water storage capacity. NBS may capture
stormwater to improve water quality, collect water for reuse or aquifer recharge, or to support vegetation growth utilizing
natural processes.
Municipalities are to include in each Annual Progress/Expenditure Report whether and how their project achieves a
good, better, or best for each of the 6 NBS methods in accordance with the guidance below. Additionally, Annual
Progress/ Expenditure Reports should include discussion on any considerations taken to maximize the class within each
method. If at least 3 methods score within a single class, the overall project can be characterized as that class.
Municipalities must attach a copy of the matrix for each project with the good, better, or best column indicated for each
method, to facilitate District tracking of methods being utilized.

FROM: CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COMPTON ADOPTING THE UPDATED 2024-2029 PAVEMENT
MANAGEMENT PROGRAM THAT WAS PERFORMED ON ALL
ROADS WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS
SUMMARY
This Resolution will adopt the Updated 2024-2029 Pavement Management Program (“PMP”) that was performed on all roads within the limits of the City of Compton.
BACKGROUND
The Pavement Management Program was developed to assist City staff by providing current data on the City’s street network and to develop cost effective maintenance/rehabilitation strategies to maintain a desirable level of pavement performance on a network scale while optimizing the expenditure of limited fiscal resources.
On November 7, 2023, pursuant to Resolution No. 25,928, City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a professional service agreement with Bucknam Infrastructure Group, Inc. (Bucknam) to update the PMP on all roads within City limits.
Bucknam was tasked to generate an updated CIP report that identified recommendations and deficiencies in the current operating and maintenance efforts put forth by the City. These efforts required the survey of all arterial routes to assist the City in complying with Los Angeles County Metropolitan Authority (Metro) PMP requirements as well as the survey of all local streets and analyzed the historical maintenance operations.
The Pavement Management Plan reflects the continued commitment and proactive management of the City of Compton’s Pavement Management Program (PMP). The last major update to the City’s PMP was performed in March 2021.
11.11.11. Staff Report – Resolution Adopting 2024-2029
Updated Pavement Management Program
September 3, 2024, page 2
The PMP efforts in Fiscal Year 2023-24 consisted of analyzing the City’s previous PMP dataset for quality and usability. City staff also provided key information pertaining to the ongoing maintenance/rehabilitation efforts that have occurred throughout the City since March 2021.
Specifically, the Pavement Management Program provides administrators and maintenance personnel with the following:
Present condition status of the pavement network (arterial and local streets), as a whole and of any grouping or individual component within the City;
A ranked list of all streets, or segments of streets, by condition within the network;
Rehabilitation/maintenance needs of each street segment by year; An optimized priority maintenance and rehabilitation program based on cost/benefit analysis and various levels of funding;
Optimum annual budget levels for pavement maintenance for the current and the following five (5) years;
Prediction of the future performance of the City’s pavement network and each individual street section;
Pavement network and conditional data presented in ArcMap, MyRoads and is compatible with the City’s existing GIS Enterprise
STATEMENT OF THE ISSUE
Pavement is a dynamic structure where deterioration is constantly occurring; thus the pavement manage systems needs to be updated on a regular basis to reflect these changes in pavement conditions, pavement maintenance histories, and maintenance strategies based upon budgetary constraints.
The PMP is essential for the City to demonstrate compliance with Metro requirements to be eligible to receive its’ roadway grant funds of Proposition A, Proposition C, State Gas Tax, Measure R and Measure M, and be able/eligible to apply for available grant funds such as Metro Call for Projects and other federal grants as they become available. The 2024-2029 Pavement Management Program report was completed on July 26, 2024 and submitted to City for adoption.
Therefore, in order for the City of Compton to have an adopted Pavement Management Program in compliance with Los Angeles MTA PMP requirements, City Council’s adoption is necessary.

SECTION I
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2024 UPDATE OF PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
This report reflects the continued commitment and proactive management of the City’s Pavement Management Program (PMP); the last major update to the City’s PMP was performed in 2021. As the City of Compton continues to show growth in its population, demographics, infrastructure and maintenance needs, the street network is demonstrating similar needs in regard to capital revenues and capital improvement program management.
Today, the City is currently using the Army Corps of Engineers pavement management program, MicroPAVER, to manage the 205 miles within street network. This software is essential to the City in that it assists Public Works staff in identifying what levels of annual funding are needed to maintain and/or improve the pavement conditions across the network. These funds are vital for the annual arterial / collector street capital improvement program projects as well as for c ost-effectively managing the local network through proactive cyclical maintenance/rehabilitation and scheduling. Under this project, the City has incorporated the update of its unique Pavement Management – GIS MyRoads® PMP web-portal and GIS layers that assist the City in spatially analyzing pavement conditions and economic needs for a given pavement segment or citywide.
The Compton PMP has been developed to assist City personnel by providing current data on the City street networks and to develop cost -effective maintenance / rehabilitation strategies to maintain a desirable level of pavement performance on a network scale; this optimiz es the expenditure of limite d fiscal resources. The PMP efforts in 2023-24 consisted of analyzing the City’s previous PMP dataset for quality and usability. City staff also provided key information pertaining to the ongoing maintenance/rehabilitation efforts that have occurred throughout the City since 2021. In doing this, we were tasked to generate an updated Capital Improvement Program report that identified deficiencies and recommendations in the current operating and maintenance efforts put forth by the City.
For the 2024 project, our staff surveyed all routes within the network to assist the City in complying with Los Angeles County MTA (METRO) PMP requirements and analyzed historical maintenance operations.
Specifically, the program provides administrators and maintenance personnel with:
* The present condition status of the pavement network (arterial, collector, and local streets), as a whole and of any grouping or individual component within the City; * A ranked list of all streets, or segments of streets, by condition within the network; * Rehabilitation/maintenance needs of qualifying street segments by year; * An optimized priority maintenance and rehabilitation program based on cost/benefit analysis and various levels of funding;
* Optimum annual budget levels for pavement maintenance for the current and the following five (5) years;

Draft Final Report – July 26, 2024 Section I
* Prediction of the future performance of the City’s pavement network and each individual street section; and
* Pavement network and conditional data presented in ArcMap, MyRoads and is compatible with City’s existing GIS Enterprise
Pavement is a dynamic structure where deterioration is constantly occurring; thus the pavement management system needs to be updated on a regular basis to reflect these changes in pavement conditions, pavement maintenance histories, and maintenance strategies based upon budgetary constraints. In our approach to develop the City’s forecasted maintenance recommendations we worked with Compton staff in identifying unit costs for all maintenance practices used on an annual basis .
Currently, based upon the Cit y’s maintenance practices and their associated unit costs, the total replacement value of the pavement network is $410,734,300. This value clearly indicates that the City’s pavement network is the most valuable and essential asset to Compton . The City’s use of slurry seal, overlay and R&R practices are typically applied at a five year, ten year and 25 year frequency respectively.
These frequencies are typical but the City may see increases in deterioration rates due to environmental, load and high average daily traffic (ADT) volumes. For example, high ADT volumes along one of Compton’s arterial streets will increase deterioration rates for a previously applied AC Overlay compared to a small local street. These deterioration rates are monitored through frequent inspections and functional class deterioration analysis within the City’s PMP database.
This report reflects our findings and recommendations for the PMP and the current state of the City’s pavement network. Furthermore, we have recommended detailed funding and maintenance strategies for the arterial/collector and residential networks for next five (5) years.

of pavement and 1,339 sections.
The City’s pavement network is broken down into manageable groups that have similar characteristics, such as pavement rank, surface type and logical segmentation. Pavement segments are identified by their branch and section numbers. Pavement “branches” that have a common usage, such as Central Ave., defines a “branch” within MicroPAVER. Pavement “sections” are pavement segments within the defined branch that have consistent pavement rankings, construction/maintenance histories and use.

Draft Final Report – July 26, 2024 Section I
Representative inspection samples are then selected and visually surveyed to locate distress data. This data is used to calculate the pavement sections Pavement Condition Index (PCI) which includes distress type, extent of the distress and its severity.
PCI is a condition rating that ranges from 100 (a new pavement section or recently overlaid or reconstructed) to 0 for a section that has structurally failed and deteriorated dramatically. Weighted average PCI of a given area/zone = pavement section PCI * its own area divided by the total square footage of the given area/zone. Table 1 summarizes the section conditions found within the City of Compton pavement network by rank.
• The weighted average PCI for the City of Compton Arterial/Collector network is 66.1 • The weighted average PCI for the City of Compton Local network is 56.6
The weighted PCI value associated with the Arterial/Collector and Local routes shown through our survey analysis is timely in that it is showing that a large amount of preventative, slurry seal, and overlay work will be needed over the next several years to increase the level of condition (PCI) to a “preventative maintenance” state.

B. CURRENT CITYWIDE CONDITIONS (ARTERIALS/COLLECTORS AND LOCALS)
The overall condition of the City’s pavement network is “Fair” with a weighted average PCI of 60.8 based on the surface area of each segment. A solid improvement from 2021 (a 9% increase). The distribution of the City’s overall pavement network is shown in Section III of this report (Condition Distribution).
Table 2 – Condition Distribution by Mileage for All Streets
For comparison, Bucknam performed
pavement management studies for
several other Los Angeles County
agencies and have included their
weighted PCI values (right).
As shown above, the majority of
segments are evenly distributed
through all five (5) condition categories (Very Good to Very Poor). For a network in “preventive” condition status you would typically see Very Good to Good section percentage totals at the 55% to 60% range; Compton’s network currently shows 35% of its sections within these PCI ranges. These findings indicate that the proper funding of the network over the past several years has not been ample and needs to continuely be approved upon each of the next five years to sustain or improve the overall PCI; this will allow Public Works managers/staff to proactively establish preventative and rehabilitation schedules that will generate further high-value ROI for the City. At a minimum, to sustain this asset, continued amounts of overlay rehabilitation and slurry seal maintenance needs to be budgeted for and performed across all areas of the pavement network.
As shown in Table 2, over 44% of the City’s entire network falls within the Poor to Very Poor condition categories based on the 2024 PCI findings, highlighting the need for continued funding of proactive overlay projects . More overlay rehabilitation activity will increase the City’s overall weighted PCI while reducing deferred maintenance costs in future fiscal years. Overlay projects applied to appropriate, qualifying segments is necessary to sustain the City’s network in a preventative condition status as described above. A network -wide preventative condition status is typically a network with a weighted average PCI over 75+.
Table 3
City of Compton Page 5
2024 Pavement Management Program
Draft Final Report – July 26, 2024 Section I
Regarding the Local network, detailed inspection analysis shows that 23% (28.4 miles) of the Local pavement networks require slurry seal maintenance activity while 60% (74.1 miles) requires overlay rehabilitation or full reconstruction.
With the major amount of Local sections needing rehabilitation the City should proactively appropriate the necessary amount of annual overlay funding to improve the network to a higher condition level. The Local network will continue to be a major contributor to the high amount of deferred rehabilitation cost burdens unless appropriate pavement funding is applied.
In regard to the Arterial / Collector network, detailed inspection analysis shows that 27% (21.8 miles) of the pavement network requires slurry seal maintenance activity while 43% (35.1 miles) requires overlay rehabilitation or full reconstruction. Over the past three years the Arterial / Collector weighted PCI has improved by seven (7) PCI points. This is due to the proac tive amount of arterial CIP overlay projects that have been applied to the network since 2021. With the overall arterial PCI in the mid- 60’s, continued planning and application of scheduled overlay projects needs to be implemented (FY 2024 thru 2027). This will continue to improve the overall conditions while freeing up additional funding for deferred Local overlay projects.
This Pavement Management Program update recommends pavement management strategies for each pavement segment based on the existing surface conditions. However, as large overlay and reconstruction projects are considered for funding, the City should make a final determination of the segment-specific pavement management approach based on subgrade R -values, structural design, and distress severities and extents.
PCI conditions reflect “surface” conditions; additional sub-surface data such as coring data, R-Values and ground penetrating radar (GPR) will provide City to with a better approach to the maintenance that should be applied.
Our 2024 findings indicate that the PMP network has been proactively managed over the past several years. This is evident in the improvement of the citywide weighted PCI since 2021 and moderate amounts of deferred maintenance/rehabilitation projects. As the City strives to implement a stronger preventative state of M&R, cost efficient Arterial/Local rehabilitation and proactive use of available SB1/Gas Tax/Prop. C/Measure M/Measure R overlay funding should remain the focus.

Units shown above indicate total mileage (Table 2)
C. MAINTENANCE STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT
Based on the results of the condition survey and input from the City, pavement maintenance/rehabilitation strategies were developed. The City and Bucknam staff discussed and identified a distribution of benchmark pavement application unit cost that would be applied to the network over the next five years. The overriding goal of the PMP is to prevent the decrease in street conditions and not to allow an increase in the deferred maintenance costs over the five -year program.
These application unit costs are essential to the economic modeling performed.
Bucknam identified the required level of funding to 1) Maintain the current PCI of 61 and 2) Increase the PCI to 65. With this approach, Bucknam has recommended a “minimal level of service” which creates a major dividing line in determining between preventive maintenance and major pavement rehabilitation.
Generally within pavement management programs, a PCI range between 55 to 70 determines the threshold of when preventive or major overlay rehabilitation is activated. Based on the City’s weighted average PCI, condition distribution, maintenance practices, our team has identified a PCI of “65” as the minimum level of service. This means, in most cases, that pavement sections with a PCI greater than 65 will typically be recommended for preventive maintenance (i.e. slurry seal). This recommendation is indicated in Table 7, Section II.
Bucknam developed two multi-year Capital Improvement Programs for the City based on the pavement records, yearly capital expenditures, available funding and the most recent 2024 inspections. These recommendations and results are shown in Section II of this report.
City of Compton Page 7
2024 Pavement Management Program
Draft Final Report – July 26, 2024 Section I
As shown above in Figure 3, 35% of the City’s streets are in Very Good to Good condition. These sections will be targeted for “preventive” maintenance within our Capital Improvement Program (CIP) recommendations. The reasoning in doing this is to extend the life cycles of those “good” pavement sections which accrues capital saving to aggressively rehabilitate those pavement sections that are below the “minimal level of service”.
In order to achieve the most effective and optimum program for the City, certain strategies have been selected and/or analyzed. Below is a listing of the maintenance activities utilized in strategy development.
Each activity is representative of the typical types of work that can be programmed as part of the long - term maintenance requirements of the City’s street network.
General Repairs-Stop Gap (Localized Maintenance*); PCI range – 20 to 95 For this maintenance type, small localized surface treatments are utilized as “holding action” solutions (stop gaps) to delay the need for pavement structural strengthening. They typically include activities such as crack sealing, AC deep patching, AC skin patching, PCC slab replacement, grinding and leveling.
The City of Compton may consider an equipment such as the Asphalt Zipper to apply proactive localized surface patch repairs (R&R). In doing this, they prevent portions of pavement sections (high severity distress locations) from deteriorating at a continuously fast rate.
Microsurfacing - (Global Maintenance*); PCI range – 60 to 85 Microsurfacing is similar to slurry seal. It consists of the application of a mixture of water, asphalt emulsion, aggregate (very small crushed rock), and chemical additives to an existing asphalt concrete pavement surface. Polymer is commonly added to the asphalt emulsion to provide better mixture properties. The major difference between slurry seal and microsurfacing is in how they “break” or harden. Slurry relies on evaporation of the water in the asphalt emulsion. The asphalt emulsion used in microsurfacing contains chemical additives which allow it to break without relying on the sun or heat for evaporation to occur. Thus, microsurfacing is an application that hardens quicker than slurry seals and can be used when conditions would not allow slurry seal to be successfully placed. Streets that have a lot of shade and streets that have a lot of traffic are good candidates for microsurfacing (source - LA County of Public Works).
Slurry Seals (Global Maintenance*); PCI range – 60 to 85 Surface treatments applied to pavements with minimal surface distress to provide new wearing surfaces and extend pavement life. Generally consists of a mixture of conventional or latex-modified emulsified asphalt, well- graded fine aggregate, mineral filler and water placed over an existing AC surface; Slurry seal application life-cycles are averaging 4 to 5 years . Type II Slurry is recommended for Local streets.
Cape Seals (Global Maintenance*); PCI range – 40 to 65
This is an application of a single layer of asphalt binder to a road surface immediately followed by a single layer of cover aggregate (chips). The single layer chip seal is then followed with a slurry seal application; Conventional cape seal application life-cycles are averaging 6 to 7 years. For sections that have lower PCI’s in this range, leveling courses should be considered. City is currently considering this application as an alternative cost-saving tool.
City of Compton Page 8
2024 Pavement Management Program
Draft Final Report – July 26, 2024 Section I
Overlays (Major Maintenance*); PCI range – 20 to 60
AC Overlay – Placement of a layer of hot-mixed asphalt concrete over the existing pavement surface (may include pavement fabric). Grinding (milling) is performed prior to the overlay to reduce the total height of asphalt and assure alignment with existing gutter lines. This also includes “dig -outs” and crack sealing prior to the application of an overlay. This treatment provides a new wearing surfac e and increased structural strength to the pavement section. A conventional overlay should be designed for a ten-year life.
Asphalt Rubber Hot-Mix Overlay - The ASTM definition is: Asphalt-Rubber is a blend of asphalt cement, reclaimed tire rubber and certain additives in which the rubber component is at least 15% by weight of the total blend and has reacted in the hot asphalt cement sufficiently to cause swelling of the rubber particles. Specifically, using crumb rubber modified binders in pavement application benefit local agencies in that cities find:
• Pavement resists cracking by being more flexible;
• Cost savings come from a longer life cycle (from Bucknam’s experience typically 20% longer), decreased maintenance and the use of less material
• Improvement in skid resistance;
• Decreased noise; and
• It provides long-lasting color contrast for marking and striping • Life cycles are averaging 8 to 12 years
Reconstruction (Major Maintenance*); PCI range – 0 to 20 Removal of the existing pavement section to a prescribed depth followed by the placement of a conventional flexible pavement section using a structural AC Hot Mix or AR Hot Mix or a full depth asphalt. Each classification of road has a typical design cross-section upon anticipation traffic loading.
By performing a reconstruction the sections PCI resets at 100 and restarts the life-cycle deterioration of the section.
*Localized, Global and Major maintenance activities are default terms used within the MicroPAVER pavement software. Specific pavement repair applications are placed within each maintenance activity in order to develop multi-year maintenance forecast recommendations.

D. ANNUAL BUDGET PROJECTIONS
The budgeting process was approached with the following in mind; generate two unique work programs for the next five (5) years based upon actual road pavement conditions in order to:
1. Demonstrate how the City’s current “Actual $10 Million annual budget” allocation for pavement maintenance/rehabilitation performs against the conditions found through our surveys
2. Recommend a proactive annual budget that, at a minimum, maintains the current weighted PCI on the network after five years (FY 2029)
Based on current and future pavement maintenance needs, two annual work programs have been prepared and summarized below. Table 4 demonstrates the pavement network performs over the next five years based upon the proposed allocated maintenance/rehabilitation funds . Table 5 demonstrates the necessary annual funding that is needed to maintain the current weighted PCI on the network (each scenario addresses arterial/collector and local streets; alleys were excluded).
Table 4 – Citywide Projection Utilizing “Actual” Budget
Table 5 – Five-Year Projection Demonstrating Required Budget to Maintain PCI of 61
Additional detail and breakdown of budget projections are demonstrated in Section IV of this report.
All work program budgets generated are presented in terms of current 2024 dollars. The annual costs shown above only include materials and labor for the pavement. Curb and gutter, striping, project management, mobilization, construction management are not included. All repair activities were based on distresses observed at the time of the field survey. These are recommendations and are to be used as “the best case scenario” for improving the City of Compton street network.

E. QUALITY CONTROL EFFORTS
As indicated in our scope of work, Bucknam performed numerous quality control checks in the field during survey efforts as well as specific site investigations requested by the City.
Minor corrections were made to a handful of sections where we corrected the rank classification within MicroPAVER.
Through our internal quality control efforts, we believe we have found all the necessary publicly owned streets that needed to be reported on under this project.

F. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Arterials/Collectors
The actual workload requirements identified indicate that the Arterial/Collector street network is currently in “Fair” condition (PCI = 66.1 ). To improve upon this condition, it is essential that preventive maintenance and overlay rehabilitation activities are funded at the levels identified in Table 4.
Our arterial/collector findings for conditional data and recommendations for revenue expenditures are shown below:
• The Arterial/Collector network has a weighted PCI of 66.1;
• Currently, 43% of the arterial/collector network (approx. 35.1 miles) require overlay/reconstruction rehabilitation; 27% (approx. 21.8 miles) require slurry seal maintenance;
• At a minimum, Arterial/Collector maintenance projects should focus on achieving and maintaining a PCI of 70+ within the next five years;
• Develop a proactive fiscal and planned approach to identify arterial/collector overlay projects based on the deterioration modeling within MicroPAVER;
• Maintain arterial/collector revenues at the levels shown within the Section IV Forecast Maintenance & Rehabilitation (FMR) Report for a minimum of five years to generate the results identified within this report;
• Reassess/re-evaluate the arterial/collector rehabilitation budget program s every two years to improve on CIP forecasts for 2024-25 and beyond to ensure the results shown in Table 4 and 5;
• Perform pavement inspections on the arterial/collector network every three years to build a solid planning model within MicroPAVER/MyRoads® to track PCI deterioration;
• Demonstrated budget shown in Table 4 is ample to improve the Arterial/Collector weighted PCI of 66.1 through five years, furthermore, the citywide deferred maintenance sustains at a level of $120 million after five years;
o Unique budget scenarios created in MicroPAVER calculate annual deferred maintenance amounts based on the available/projected budget applied and section SF’s that fall within preventative, slurry seal, overlay and reconstruction PCI ranges;
• Bucknam recommends that the City proactively budget overlay rehabilitation projects at the levels shown in Table 4 in order to improve upon the conditions found today as well as minimize the impact of a moderate increase deferred maintenance across the City.
City of Compton Page 12
2024 Pavement Management Program
Draft Final Report – July 26, 2024 Section I
Locals
The actual workload requirements identified indicate that the Local street network is currently in “Poor” condition (PCI = 56.6). To improve this condition, it is essential that preventive maintenance and overlay activities are funded at the levels identified in Table 4 to increase the network weighted average PCI value to the “Fair” category.
Our Local findings for conditional data and recommendations for revenue expenditures are shown below:
• The Local network has a weighted PCI of 56.6;
• Currently, 60% of the Local network (approx. 74.1 miles) require overlay/reconstruction rehabilitation; 23% (approx. 28.4 miles) require slurry seal maintenance;
• At a minimum, Local maintenance projects should focus on achieving and maintaining a weighted PCI above a level of 60+ within the next five years;
• Current Local Forecast Maintenance & Rehabilitation (FMR) recommendations should be followed as shown in Section IV of this report;
• Develop a proactive fiscal and planned approach to identify Local overlay projects based on the deterioration modeling within MicroPAVER;
• Increase Local revenues at the levels shown within the Section IV Forecasted Maintenance Report for a minimum of five years to generate the results identified within this report;
• Reassess/re-evaluate the Local rehabilitation budget program s every two years to improve on budget forecasts for 2024-25 and beyond to ensure the results shown in Table 4 or 5;
• Perform pavement inspections on the Local network every three years to build a solid planning model within MicroPAVER/MyRoads® to track PCI deterioration;
• Demonstrated budget shown in Table 4 is sufficient to improve the Local weighted PCI as it included necessary proactive overlay funding. Furthermore, the citywide deferred maintenance increases slightly from a level of $119.4 million to $123.6 million after five years;
o Unique budget scenarios created in MicroPAVER calculate annual deferred maintenance amounts based on the available/projected budget applied and section SF’s that fall within preventative, slurry seal, overlay and reconstruction PCI ranges;
• Bucknam recommends that the City allocate budget for overlay rehabilitations at the levels shown in Table 4 in order to improve upon the conditions found today as well as minimize the impact of a high increase of deferred maintenance across the City.

SECTION II
PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Bucknam performed the following services in accordance with the scope of services that was contracted with the City of Compton. As a quick overview, the following tasks were performed to complete the work over the past several months:
2024 Pavement Management Work Efforts:
Task 1: Project Kickoff-Data Management
Task 2: Update of Maintenance Activities
Task 3: Pavement Condition Survey (approx. 204.8 miles) Task 4: Budgetary Analysis and Capital Improvement Reports Task 5: Executive Summary and Final CIP Reports
Task 6: Mapping of the Pavement Network
A. PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM UPDATE 2023-24
As a part of the 2024 update of the pavement management system, a major element of work was to complete a comprehensive assessment of the existing street network and PMP database within the City.
This included assessing the City’s existing 2021 MicroPAVER database, GIS, street naming conventions and work history information. From there, Bucknam worked with the City to confirm public and private street listings which verified accuracy for CIP reporting. All data was then published within the City’s updated MicroPAVER database.
Work history information was provided by the City in the form of completed bid documents, institutional knowledge, and previous dataset and Excel documents. This information was entered into the proper pavement segments that match the limits of those projects. From there, CIP pavement recommendations were performed (discussed and demonstrated below) where the pavement maintenance information the City provided (PM P material practices, unit costs , and capital budgets) were used to generate recommendations through the MicroPAVER system.
Table 6 demonstrates PCI ranges defaulted within MicroPAVER. Once a pavement inspection is complete, a PCI is calculated for each pavement section. Each PCI calculated falls within a defined PCI range category (Very Good, Very Poor, etc.). F urthermore, a weighted P CI was calculated for the each functional class within the network (arterials/collectors and locals).
The PCI is a condition rating that ranges from 100 (a new pavement section or recently overlaid or reconstructed) to 0 for a section that has structurally failed and deteriorated dramatically. Weighted average PCI of a given area/zone = pavement section P CI multiplied by its own area divided by the total square footage of the given area/zone. This information can also be represented through MicroPAVER to show how much square footage or percentage of area falls within a PCI range category.
City of Compton Page 2
2024 Pavement Management Program
Draft Final Report – July 26, 2024 Section II
Table 6 - PCI Range
These condition ranges are defined by the Army Corps of Engineers and defaulted within the MicroPAVER software. The summary of all roads condition data and their representative PCI's can be seen in the Pavement Condition Report in Section III.
B. MAINTENANCE STRATEGY ASSIGNMENTS
Once the appropriate activities from the above listings were selected by the City, a Maintenance Strategy Table was defined within the system that allocated the appropriate actions to the specific repair needs of the street. In defining the maintenance strategy list, emphasis was placed on defining pavement condition thresholds and using the PCI for the specific maintenance activities within these categories.
Maintenance Strategy Assignment Table
Table 7 – Maintenance Strategy Assignments
The Strategy Assignments List, shown in Table 7, was developed to identify the most critical segments in each of the w ork programs (Arterial/Collector and Local). Segment priorities were established by determining the range of PCI's requiring first attention based on the relative value of each segment’s PCI, thus maximizing the annual maintenance budget.
City of Compton Page 3
2024 Pavement Management Program
Draft Final Report – July 26, 2024 Section II
Also, distress quantity, area extent, type and severity were critical elements in the decision process for recommending maintenance.
The assignment table is used as a guide within MicroPAVER to recommend maintenance, however, further assessment by City staff and/or outside parties can override maintenance recommendations. This can be done by reviewing and assessing distress extents and their weighted percentages.
Once the strategy assignments were set within the system, budgets and work assignments were generated for each work program on an annual basis. Using pavement deterioration curves for each type of pavement surface and class of road, both current year and future years work requirements for each pavement segment within the City were determined. In forecasting the maintenance requirements in future years, the current PCI value is reduced annually for each pavement segment based on the MicroPAVER deterioration curves within the City’s database.
Likewise, maintenance activities performed in a given year increase the P CI value as they are applied to the segment. The overall program is dynamic in that each strategy consists of a cyclic series of actions that simulates the pavement anticipated life cycle.

C. MULTI-YEAR ANNUAL WORK PROGRAM PROJECTIONS
The goal of these projections is to assist City policy makers in utilizing the recommendations of the MicroPAVER system. By using the City of Compton ’s current budgets and maintenance practices the system will develop “section unique” improvements and strategies. Each segment will be tied to a specific fiscal year. As shown in the following pages, we have assessed the budgets that have been projected t o meet the maintenance and rehabilitations needed to maximize the City’s return on investment. The budget forecasting goal for the City network focused on:
Establishing a proactive multi-year Maintenance & Rehabilitation Program; Developing a preventive maintenance program; and
Selecting the most cost-effective repairs based on City strategies
ACTUAL BUDGET – The Actual budget model was generated for the City to demonstrate how the City’s 5- Year PMP funding allocation ($10 Million / yr) performs against the current citywide conditions.
• City’s projected actual budget includes:
• Projects are funded through SB1 & Proposition C, Measure R, Measure M, Gas Tax and General Funds
MAINTAIN BUDGET – A Maintain budget was generated for the City to demonstrate the necessary funding that is required to maintain the current weighted PCI level of 61 through a five year model.
*All multi-year budget projections include a 4% inflation rate for the term of the budget forecast.

Draft Final Report – July 26, 2024 Section II
ACTUAL – The first key step in developing a proactive PMP is to model the City’s existing conditions against the “actual” annual budget. In doing this, PCI performance, deferred maintenance and pavement application uses are able to benchmarked and demonstrated in a positive or negative result. The City’s existing 5-Yr PMP budget was used for this model; the City provided Bucknam with current 2024 unit costs for pavement maintenance applications. The resulting PCI conditions and maintenance distributions are shown below. Bucknam worked with the City’s Public Works staff to review previous methodologies and schedules applied by the City. With this scenario, our initial goal is to provide the City with a budgetary outlook and conditional impact report that can be used to eventually create a solid, preventative maintenance program.
ACTUAL BUDGET PROGRAM (FIVE YEAR MODEL)
Actual Budget Program incorporates pavement sections that have a functional class of Arterial (A /B), Collector (C) and Locals (E).
Table 8 – Citywide Projection Utilizing “Actual” Budget ($10 mil/yr)
By modeling the existing pavement conditions against the City’s available funding, we have found that two major positive results occur over the five year CIP. (See Figure 5 on the following page). First, t he weighted PCI for the entire network increases from a level of 60.8 to a level of 65.3 over the five year CIP which meets one of our recommended goals (minimum level of service = 65). The five year model above includes pavement applications covering:
• 5.8 million SF of Arterials/Collectors, or 30.1 miles; • 5.7 million SF of Locals, or 39.0 miles
Secondly, the resulting deferred maintenance backlog shows that it sustains at a level of $ from $78.4 120 million after the five years program which indicates that an annual pavement budgets are ample enough to hold the deferred maintenance level (or backlog of maintenance) on the network. The backlog that has been identified above consists of slurry/cape seals, overlays and reconstruction. Combined with the positive results found with the weighted PCI we recommended that this 5 -yr maintenance schedule be followed.
DEFERRED MAINTENANCE
Delaying repairs on streets where pavement conditions indicate a need creates deferred maintenance.
Deferred maintenance includes pavement maintenance, rehabilitation and reconstruction projects that are needed across the entire network, but cannot be performed due to the lack of available funding.
These delayed projects are then pushed to the next budget cycle incurring higher unit costs/SF. The actual repairs that are being deferred are often referred to as a “backlog”.
City of Compton Page 7
2024 Pavement Management Program
Draft Final Report – July 26, 2024 Section II
As maintenance is deferred, the opportunity to apply life extending preventive pavement applications is lost and the ultimate cost of rehabilitation multiples.
As shown, this projection model does meet the initial goal of maintaining or increasing the City’s pavement network PCI. With today’s economic issues at the Federal, State and local levels; the City should continuously monitor the management of overlay deferred maintenance (PMP studies every two to three years). The potential delay in projects and the resulting build- up of more overlay work in the five -year time frame is not a debt that City will want to accept.
Through Bucknam’s analysis of the previous pavement database, work history dates and our experience with AC Overlay deterioration rates, it is important to point out that pavement sections that were overlaid in fiscal year 2010 will need proper overlay maintenance approximately around fiscal year 2024-25 and beyond.
Figure 5 – Resulting Network PCI and Budget Expenditures (Actual Budget)
The resulting “increase of the weighted PCI” for the entire network demonstrates how applying proper funds to the network is preventing the City’s pavement from deteriorating at a rate that is not conducive to a PMP success. Based on available funding or programmed funding identified by the City’s long -term CIP, there may be an opportunity to proactively schedule or appropriate funds to areas of the City that have been annually deferred due to high maintenance costs.
Additionally, the City should continue to implement local, stop gap maintenance (i.e. deep patching, crack sealing, etc.) prior to any major slurry / cape seal or overlay maintenance. By performing stop gap measures to individual pavement sections the overall performance of the sections condition will increase and sustain itself longer than if no preventative maintenance was performed.
City of Compton Page 8
2024 Pavement Management Program
Draft Final Report – July 26, 2024 Section II
As mentioned above, a local slurry/overlay maintenance “zone/area” strategy should be considered for several reasons. With the City applying a maintenance area methodology to the local network, four beneficial impacts occur:
1) Planned / Maintenance areas are addressed every seven years which creates a dedicated project schedule for City staff and constituent inquiries; 2) Deferred overlay maintenance can be addressed in a more effective manner due to accrued revenues
3) A preventative maintenance strategy is more cost -effective in a long -term PMP rather than implementing a maintenance approach that addresses only the “worst-first” streets. 4) All maintenance alternatives are available due to the increased funding and focused maintenance within one zone per year.
On the negative side, if low weighted PCI values occur within a given zone, all streets within that zone may not be able to be addressed with maintenance when that zone is scheduled for maintenance. The deferred maintenance will have to be scheduled for maintenance in future years or simply will have to wait until the zone cycle repeats.
The Local maintenance model that has been developed under the Actual budget can be used as a benchmark to monitor the City’s annual budget allocations as the network continues to mature and age; the proper amount of funding for slurry seal and overlay maintenance needs to be the City’s highest priority.
City of Compton Page 9
2024 Pavement Management Program
Draft Final Report – July 26, 2024 Section II
MAINTAIN PCI PROGRAM (FIVE YEAR MODEL)
With the City striving to show proactive maintenance across all City pavements, a budget program was generated to show the greatest return on investment through the application of slurry seal, mill & cap , and alternative overlay maintenance. Our goal under this model is to maintain the current 2024 weighted PCI of 61 through a five-year program. This model will demonstrate the necessary funding to achieve this goal.
Again, we used the “Actual” 5-yr PMP model (shown above) as a cornerstone for our modeling within the “maintain” program. Combining the previous reporting model with a realistic and achievable annual budget, we found positive results.
The Recommended Program incorporates pavement sections that have a functional class of Arterial (A/B), Collector (C) and Local (E).
Table 9– Five-Year Projection Demonstrating Required Budget to Maintain PCI of 61
Referring to Table 9, it is noted that the weighted PCI basically remains consist through the five-year projection (60.8 to 61.5). However, the annual deferred maintenance total increases from $119.5 million to $144.2 million at the end of the five-years if the City utilizes an annual budget average of $7,215,600/yr for slurry, overlay, and reconstruction maintenance. We found that annual average square footage breakdowns of maintenance areas were consistent and well balanced.
Under this model, w e recommend that a stronger focus be placed on the Local network improvements due to the fact that its network has approximately 29% more square footage compared to the arterial/collector network and has a significantly lower weighted PCI than the arterials/collectors.
We still recommend minor maintenance to the arterial/collector network, i.e. localized patching, slurry seal and th e use of Measure R, Proposition A/C & Gas Tax funds. B ut again, with the Local network showing a higher degree of negative results, a new focus for zoned area maintenance and proactive overlays should be implemented.
City of Compton Page 10
2024 Pavement Management Program
Draft Final Report – July 26, 2024 Section II
Figure 6 – Resulting Network PCI and Budget Expenditures (Maintain Budget)
Additionally, it is recommended that the City continue to monitor the application of Slurry / Cape Seal or Grind & Overlay as an asphalt application for the specific local sections. Specific sections are now qualifying for maintenance that warrants a stronger application rather than a typical slurry seal.
With a five year cycle in motion, it is essential to address local sections that have PCI’s less than 65 with the proper rehabilitation since crews will not be back within that area for five to six years.

PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM REPORTS
In addition to the annual budget scenario, this report contains a comprehensive and complementary assemblage of pavement management reports ranging from summary reports to annual maintenance and rehabilitation schedules (Forecast Maintenance & Rehabilitation (FMR) Report, Section IV). Collectively as well as individually, the reports represent reasonable projections of pavement maintenance needs and performance based on visual condition assessments, unit cost estimates, and pavement deterioration models.
It is important to note that pavement segment dimensions and surface area recorded during 1999-2021, and 2024 inspections, along with the action and repair costs, as presented within the reports are accurate within tolerable limits. This is noteworthy due to the "implied" accuracy of reporting length and width to the nearest foot, surface area to the nearest square foot, and action and repair unit costs and project estimates to the nearest penny and dollar, respectively.
NEXT STEPS
As with any infrastructure management software program, time investments need to be made by key Public Works staff to maintain the integrity of the data as well as the accuracy. Bucknam can perform training sessions in the use of the MicroPAVER tools and demonstrate how to generate standard common- sense reports to assist City staff in developing yearly budgets, project level analysis, and CIP projections.
This will be key to future management of the pavement program and reporting. City personnel need to maintain their commitment to the preventive maintenance system, while working toward reducing the City's present deferred rehabilitation projects.
In order to ensure that report outputs are accurate and credible, it is essential that the integrity of all data files be maintained. This will require performing all necessary updates when changes are made to scheduling scenarios, unit cost information, historical data, etc. In addition, the entire pavement network will have to be re-inventoried at regular intervals. This typically includes surveying arterial and collectors every two years and locals every three.
This will not only allow work to be scheduled based on the most current condition data available, but will provide City personnel with a means to monitor actual rates of pavement deterioration so appropriate modifications can be made to the system curves. To be compliant with the METRO requirements, the City must generate a triennial Pavement Management report indicating condition ratings , inspection dates and forecasted maintenance/rehabilitation recommendations. Bucknam will be supporting the City with staff level support to assist in the continuous updates with the MicroPAVER/MyRoads® system. This will include work history updates, generating reports from the system, unit cost updates, and future inspections.

D. CONDITION DISTRIBUTION REPORT
This report depicts the distribution of the pavement condition throughout the street network by area.
The condition scheme range s from “Very Good” to “Very Poor”; with a “ Very Good ” condition corresponding to a pavement at the beginning of its life cycle, and a “ Very Poor” condition representing a badly deteriorated pavement with virtually no remaining life. The table below shows the general description for each pavement condition:
Condition Description – PCI Range - Description
2024 City of Compton weighted average PCI is 60.8 (Fair).

Draft Final Report – July 26, 2024 Section II
E. CALCULATION OF PCI
In order to calculate a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) value within MicroPAVER, specific street section data needs to be inputted into MicroPAVER to define the survey limits, asphalt types, pavement age and metrics. Pavement “sections” are pavement segments within the defined branch that have consistent pavement street classifications, construction/maintenance histories and use. Representative inspection samples are then selected and visually surveyed to locate distress data. This data is used to calculate the pavement sections Pavement Condition Index (PCI) which includes distress type, extent of the distress and its severity.
The PCI is a condition rating that ranges from 100 (pavement section that is in perfect condition) to 0 for a section that has structurally failed and deteriorated dramatically. The PCI is calculated from three major data entries from our inspectors:
1. Distress Type (one of 20 AC or 19 PCC types); these include alligator cracking, bleeding, block cracking, corrugations, depressions, long/trans cracking, patch/utility cut, potholes, rutting, weathering, raveling, etc.
2. Distress Quantity (the square footage, length or count of a specific distress)
3. Distress Severity (the level of severity determined for each distress found; low, medium or high)

F. COMPTON MYROADS® PMP WEB-PORTAL
Bucknam’s MyRoads® is a great match for the City of Compton’s PMP today and the future. MyRoads® brings your PMP data to life within a dynamic dashboard! Bucknam now provides all our PMP clients with a unique and agency driven “MyRoads®” web -portal that provides instantaneous access to your pavement management database. This “dashboard” allows users to toggle through individual sections via GIS mapping selections, zone queries, rank selection, PCI ranges, etc. to review all section metrics, latest/previous inspections, work histories generate filtered PCI reports and identify potential maintenance / rehabilitation costs based upon your unique needs.
Bucknam has shown below the Compton MyRoads® account actively working! This tool will be accessed by City staff simply through a Username/Password methodology. As changes are made to the Compton PMP database the MyRoads® dataset is changed to reflect work history edits, PCI inspections and section changes.
In summary, MyRoads® allows the user to perform the following dynamic functions:
• Query specific pavement segment(s) to view current/historic PCI, work history inspection; • Filter for pavement sections within a defined zone, PCI range and/or functional class; • Select a pavement section or grouping of section through the on-board GIS tool; • Enter slurry, overlay & reconstruction
unit costs to determine preliminary
cost of maintenance and resulting
citywide PCI
o Display critical street / sidewalk
/ ROW assets along pavement
section(s) that are critical to
Engineering Bid development
and solicitation (ADA ramps,
utilities, manholes, trees, etc.
• Displays all final GIS project maps (PCI,
work history, 5 -yr forecasted
maintenance, etc.)
• Bucknam will train Compton’s staff on
the simpl e use of the MyRoads ®
dashboard.

A. PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX REPORTS - DEFINITIONS
Listed alphabetically by street name or PCI, this report provides the City with a listing of pertinent inventory and pavement condition data for each inventory unit within the City's pavement network. The Pavement Condition Index (PCI) Report notes the names, li mits, classification, dimension, surface type, and lane configuration of each inventory unit.
Detailed descriptions of the information appearing on this report are presented below:
BRANCH NAME - The name of each inventory unit appears in this column. Generally, the inventory unit name is taken directly from a street sign; however, where no street signs are posted, the name appearing on the network map is noted instead.
A sample set of street name suffix abbreviation definitions is presented below:
AV - Avenue CT - Court CIR - Circle
DR - Drive LN - Lane RD - Road
ST - Street WAY - Way EB - East Bound
NB - North Bound SB - South Bound WB - West Bound
FROM - A description of the beginning limit of each inventory unit appears in this column. If the beginning limit exists between intersections, then the beginning limit description may be an address, post mile marker, or a distance from a known point of reference (e.g., "500' N/MAIN ST").
TO - A description of the ending limit of each inventory unit appears in this column. Like BEGIN limit, the END limit description may consist of a street name, an address, or a distance from a known point of reference. In the case of cul-de-sacs, or dead-ends, the END limit consists of and address, or a directional reference, such as "NORTH END," when no address is available.
RANK - The codes for the seven functional classifications as the inventory unit appears in this column are represented below. Basically, units are classified according to traffic volume.
CODE DESCRIPTION
A /B Primary Arterial, Arterial
C Collector
E Local
I Industrial
P Private
O Alley
SURFACE TYPE - A code was assigned to each inventory unit to describe surface type.
CODE DESCRIPTION
AC Asphalt Concrete
PCC Concrete
City of Compton Page 3
2024 Pavement Management Program
Draft Final Report – July 26, 2024 Section III
LENGTH - The length of the section within each branch. The unit of measurement for the section length, typically linear feet (LF).
AREA - The area of each section within a branch. The unit of measurement for the section area, typically square feet (SF).
PCI - Pavement Condition Indices were calculated for inventory units based on severity and extent of distress manifestations observed within the inventory unit. Ranging between 0 and 100, a PCI of "100" corresponds to a pavement at the beginning of its life cycle, while a PCI of "0" corresponds to a badly deteriorated pavement which is at or near the end of its life cycle.
PCI CLIMATE, LOAD AND OTHER – reflects “Section Extrapolated Distress”; these values are shown within the Sample Distresses tab within the PCI window. Distresses are aggregated based on the type and severity level. For random samples, distress quantities are adjusted to reflect the extrapolated value based on the sections total area. Extrapolated distress deducts are classified as resulting from Climate, Load and Other distresses. The Distress Classification portion of the tab shows the “percent” of extrapolated distress deduct b elonging to Climate, Load and Other (these %’s are shown within the PCI reports herein). These values are beneficial in that they support the decision whether recommend slurry seal, overlay or reconstruction project for street sections.
INSPECTION DATE – Represents the most recent inspection date performed on a given sections. PCI shown is historical in value and may not indicate what “today’s” PCI is due to variance in time. Pavement deterioration calculations can be performed on a section(s) to demonstrate a deteriorated PCI based upon a new current date.
