TIGARD CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION NO. 09-__2Z 4e
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL ESTABLISHING A LONG-TERM AVERAGE
PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX (PCI) GOAL FOR CITY STREETS
WHEREAS, a preventative maintenance strategy for streets is an organized, systematic process for
applying a series of preventative maintenance treatments to extend the serviceable life of the
pavement and avoid more costly corrective maintenance measures such as rehabilitation and
reconstruction; and
WHEREAS,a preventative maintenance approach strives for establishment of a perpetual pavement
maintenance cycle that allows the use of relatively low-cost treatments as part of a full range of
treatments to protect the investment in the street infrastructure at relatively low costs; and
WHEREAS, the City ofTigard's preventative maintenance strategy is to focus on optimal use of
limited dollars by keeping good streets in good to excellent condition while maintaining a
manageable backlog of streets requiring corrective maintenance; and
WHEREAS, the PCI (Pavement Condition Index) factors in pavement condition,pavement
distress, structural strength, rideability and others and provides a way to measure the overall
condition of the City streets with 0 being the worst and 100 being the best;and
WHEREAS, the target zone for preventative maintenance is 70 and above; and
WHEREAS, the City's current average PCI is 68.1 and a decline in overall condition to 65 and lower
would eventually lead to much more costly overlay and reconstruction costs; and
WHEREAS,an average PCI between 70 and 75 would allow the City to implement the most cost
effective range of treatments for street maintenance; and
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED by the Tigard City Council that:
SECTION 1: An average PCI of 70 to 75 is hereby established as the City goal for street
maintenance.
SECTION 2: The objective of the City of Tigard's Pavement Management Program within the
Public Works Department is to achieve the City's PCI goal.
SECTION 3: This PCI goal shall be strongly considered in the administration and funding of the
Pavement Management Program.
SECTION 4: This resolution is effective immediately upon passage.
PASSED: This day of _'� ' 2009.
