SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 24-43 – BUDGET AMENDMENT TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2024/25 APPROVED BUDGET FOR CITYWIDE PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM UPDATE
Background:
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (METRO) and the State of California requires cities within Los Angeles County to have a Pavement Management Study (PMS) in place and update it every three years to qualify for certain federal, state, and local funding programs such as Propositions A and C and Measures M and R. The PMS provides a systematic approach to monitoring and managing the condition of roadway pavement in a cost- effective manner. The study’s results help determine the most appropriate locations and an effective/efficient approach to maintain roadway pavement.
Pavement is dynamic by nature whereby deterioration occurs constantly. A PMS update is typically conducted on a three-year cycle to reflect changes in pavement conditions, pavement maintenance histories, and maintenance strategies based upon budgetary constraints. For the City to continue receiving the local funds and remain compliant per METRO requirements, an update to the City’s PMS is necessary.
The City’s roadway system consists of approximately 81 section miles of arterials/collectors; 130.3 section miles of local streets; and 9.8 section miles of alleyway streets. The last PMS update was completed by Bucknam Infrastructure Group, Inc. (Bucknam) in September 2020. The services provided surveyed all arterial and collector routes to assist the City to comply with METRO PMS requirements.
To remain compliant with the METRO PMS requirement, staff requested a proposal from Bucknam for services to perform an update to the 2020 PMS. In December of 2023, City Council
