End of 2011 Paving Report
The Tigard Public Works Department is responsible for the maintenance of 148
miles of paved streets. The maintenance strategy for each street varies depending
on the use and character of that street.
Accomplishments for 2011
Pavement projects completed in 2011 are summarized in the following table.
Project Pavement Overlays Slurry Seals
Length Completed 2.5 miles 12 miles
Funding Source Street maintenance fee Street maintenance fee
Cost $699,000 $302,000

A map, (Attachment A) of the 2011 pavement projects is included in this report.
2011 was a good year for Tigard's roadways. The average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of
Tigard's city streets increased from 68.7 at the end of 2010 to 69.0 at the end of 2011. This was
better than our projected PCI of 68.1. Three factors were significant in this improvement:
1) Successful completion of a large slurry seal project in western and northern central Tigard.
2) A competitive bidding climate,likely due to the poor economy, resulted in favorable pricing
for the City's paving projects.
3) City street crews completed many `digout'repairs of small areas of pavement on streets to be
slurry sealed. This was coordinated with the work of the private contractor to give the
public much better streets. This allowed us to slurry seal some streets that would otherwise
have been in too poor condition to effectively slurry seal.
Previous Council Action and the Street Maintenance Fee
Pavement maintenance is primarily funded through the City's Street Maintenance Fee. The Street
Maintenance Fee is a monthly user fee dedicated to the maintenance of existing roadways in Tigard.
The fee was recommended by a citizen task force and established by Ordinance No. 03-10 in
November 2003.
Since the fee was originally adopted, construction costs increased significantly,largely due to
increases in the cost of asphalt,which is a petroleum product. The Council re-visited the street
maintenance fee in 2009 and determined the fee was not generating enough revenue to realistically
address the City's $8.5 million road maintenance needs. In January 2010, the Council adopted:

■ Ordinance No. 10-01 which amended the Tigard Municipal Code. The ordinance directs
that beginning July 1, 2010 the street maintenance fee will be increased in three phases,with
subsequent phase-ins taking effect April 1, 2011 and January 1, 2012. The ordinance also
directs that the fee be adjusted for inflation.
■ Resolution No. 10-01 which established a long-term average PCI goal of 70 to 75 and also
established an interim goal to "hold the line"by maintaining an average PCI of at least 67.
A long-term average PCI of 75 would allow the City to get the most out of street
maintenance revenues by strategically paving streets before the underlying road structure is
compromised. When an overall PCI gets below 75, street maintenance life cycle costs begin
to increase,because streets are in poorer condition and need some level of reconstruction
before they can be paved. Slurry seals are only feasible on streets with pavement in fair or
good condition. When Resolution 10-01 passed, the Council recognized that funding would
not be adequate to get to a PCI of 75. The Council sought to prevent a decline in the PCI
below 67. Beyond this point, streets require more extensive reconstruction prior to paving;
this results in substantially higher street maintenance costs.
■ Resolution No. 10-02 which adjusted the street maintenance fee in the City's Master Fees
and Charges Schedule.
Current street maintenance fees, as they appear in the City's 2010-2011 Master Fees and
Charges Schedule, are as follows:
Effective Dates Before 7/1/10— 4/1/11— After
7/1/10 4/1/11 1/1/12 1/1/12
Residential (Per House or Unit) $2.18 $3.01 $4.13 $5.45**
Commercial and Industrial
(Per Required Parking Space) $0.78 $0.92 $1.06 $1.23**
** Note: Fee amounts after 1/1/12 have been adjusted for inflation based on the
methodology adopted in Ordinance 10-01. This is based on a 2% adjustment per pay
period, as calculated based on the indexes with a 2% `floor' as specified in Ordinance 10-
01. These adjustments are included in the 2011-2012 Master Fees and Charges Schedule.
The Pavement Condition Index (PCI)
Pavement condition is measured by a Pavement Condition Index (PCI),with zero being the poorest
condition and 100 being the best condition. PCI factors include pavement condition,pavement
distress, structural strength, and smoothness of ride.
Paving Priorities
Attachment B is a map showing the paving projects that have been completed in the past three
years. In order to maintain the overall street network in the best possible overall condition,we have
focused our paving work on two main priorities:

1) Pavement overlays on major corridors. Approximately $700,000 has been spent this
fiscal year constructing pavement overlays on 2.5 miles of important through routes.
2) Preventive maintenance on residential streets. Approximately$300,000 has been spent
this fiscal year placing slurry seals on 12 miles of residential streets. These slurry seals
provide the most area of improved pavement per dollar,but are only effective if the
pavement is already in relatively good condition.
These priorities are reflected in the following Graph:

Arterials and Collectors deteriorate rapidly because many thousands of vehicles use them every day.
This results in significant costs just to keep up with regular deterioration of pavement on these
major corridors.
Use of slurry seals and other preventive maintenance on residential streets has allowed us to keep
the good streets good, and maintain a relatively high average pavement condition on residential
streets. We are slurry sealing our way around the city on an eight-year cycle in order to keep these
streets in good condition as efficiently as possible.
Paving Backlog
There are many low-volume local streets in Tigard on which the pavement condition has
deteriorated beyond the level at which a slurry seal can be effective. These streets need more
extensive repairs such as pavement overlay and rehabilitation. However, as our limited funding is
2011 Pavement Condition Report—November 15,2011 Page 3
being used on higher priority projects, these streets not slated for repair until adequate funding
becomes available for these repairs. In pavement management terms, these are called `backlog'
streets. The table below shows how this backlog has grown in recent years:

■Mileage at Close of Paving Season
There are approximately 15 miles of these `backlog' streets on the Tigard city street system that need
paving. This is approximately 10% of our total street mileage. The cost to pave these streets would
be approximately $8 trillion. It is anticipated that the amount of this backlog will level off as Street
Maintenance Fee revenue is fully phased in. Additional funding would be necessary to restore these
streets to good pavement condition.
Finance Director's Findings
The Finance Director has reviewed this report and future pavement maintenance funding
requirements as identified in the Pavement Management Program (PMP). Data has not changed
significantly from what the Council considered after the 2010 paving season.
Actual revenue collections for fiscal year 2011 were analyzed and they were sufficient to meet the
annual funding level set from the street maintenance plan and the FY 2011-2012 Adopted Budget.
Completion of the street maintenance fee phase-in, along with an inflationary adjustment(s),is
expected to generate sufficient revenue to fund the PMP in the coming years. The 2011-2016 CIP
PMP approved budget is as follows:
Fiscal Year 1 2012 2013 2014 1 2015 1 2016
PMP $1,115,400 1 1,390,400 1 1,690,400 1 1,690,400 1 1,690,400
2011 Pavement Condition Report—November 15,2011 Page 4
Additionally,the split between customer types was analyzed to determine if costs were equitably split
when compared to revenues collected. The allocation of the costs of the five-year plan is set in
TMC 15.20.050 and is summarized as follows:
Road Type Percentage of Residential Percentage of Non-
Allocation Residential Allocation
Arterial 62% 38%
Local Commercial/Industrial 0% 100%
Collector 50% 50%
Neighborhood/Local 100% 0%
It is important to realize the fee is based on a five-year plan and that there will be variance from one
year to the next where one customer group may subsidize another in any given year; the important
thing is that the program costs reflect the revenues collected by customer type over the five-year
period. If they do not, the TMC instructs the Finance Director to make recommendations based on
this review. The following table summarizes my findings:
Total PMP Percentage
Expense Related of Total Percentage Share of
to Street E3xpense of Expenses Based
Maintenance per the Revenue on Revenue
Customer Class Fee TMC Collection Collected Variance
Residential $705,000 70% 62% $623,221 $81,779
Non-
Residential $296,000 30% 38% $377,779 $81,779
Total $1,001,000 $1,001,000
Tigard incurred$1,001,000 in FY 2011 in the PMP expenses related to the street maintenance fee.
Based on the types of roads, (arterial, collector, etc.), that received pavement maintenance through
the PMP, $705,000 (70 percent) of the PMP expenses should have been born by residential
customers and $296,000 (30 percent) of the PMP expenses should have been born by non-
residential customers.
The actual revenues collected in FY 2011 have a slightly different split. Sixty-two percent of the
revenues came from the residential sector and 38 percent of the revenues came from the non-
residential sector. Based on the size of the PMP and the way revenues were collected, a more
equitable split would have been for$623,221 to come from the residential sector and for $377,779 to
come from the non-residential sector. During the last year, the non-residential sector subsidized the
residential sector by$81,779, or eight percent of the total PMP. An eight percent variance,in one
year of a five-year plan, is relatively small and does not merit a recommendation to adjust the street
maintenance fee at this time.
Outlook for 2012
It is anticipated that approximately$1.4 million in street maintenance fee revenue collected in fiscal
year 2011-12 will be available for paving projects in the summer of 2012. Approximately $450,000 is
planned to fund 14 miles of slurry seal applications. Approximately$850,000 is planned to fund
2011 Pavement Condition Report—November 15,2011 Page 5
pavement overlays on about three miles of streets in the summer of 2012. The remaining funds will
be used for crack sealing,pavement analysis, engineering,inspection, and administration of the
program.
2012 is expected to be a more typical paving year than the last couple of years have been. As the
economy picks up,prices for asphalt, aggregate, fuel, and other key items are likely to increase. As
more construction work becomes available, contractors will be less `hungry' for work and are likely
to include more profit in their bids, meaning higher prices for paving work.
A map (Attachment C) of the proposed 2012 pavement projects is included in this report. This map
represents staffs projections as to what paving projects can be achieved with available funding in
the summer of 2012. Changes in asphalt prices and the construction bidding climate may have a
significant impact on the amount of work the City will be able to fund. Streets may need to be
deleted from the pavement overlay list in order to keep the project within budget. On the other
hand, streets could be added to the pavement overlay list if bids are lower than expected.
If the projected level of work can be completed,it is anticipated that the overall pavement condition
index ofTigard's city street system,which is currently 69.0,will decline to an average of 68.7. This
is because the anticipated funding will not quite be enough to keep up with a year of normal
deterioration of the streets due to weathering, traffic loading,and other factors. The anticipated
paving backlog is also anticipated to increase slightly from 15 miles to 16 miles of unmet paving
needs.
Outlook Beyond 2012
Until 2013,when the street maintenance fee will be fully phased-in for a year of collections before
paving season, the revenue generated is anticipated to not be sufficient to maintain the existing PCI
of 69.0. The following chart depicts the actual and projected citywide Pavement Condition Index
through 2016.

PCI at the Close of Paving Season
Long-term projections indicate the sheet maintenance fee,when fully phased-in,will allow the City
to "hold the line" and maintain the average PCI at or above 67, as directed in Resolution No. 10-01.
This is contingent upon asphalt prices remaining within the range of the fee's inflationary
adjustment.
The better than expected paving progress made in 2010 and 2011 have resulted in a current average
pavement condition index of 69.0,which is better than the 67.5 forecast at the end of 2009. This
better pavement condition slightly reduces the cost necessary to "hold the line."This raises our
forecast from "hold the line" to a slight pavement condition index improvement from 68.7 to 68.9
in the years 2012 through 2016, as long as prices and other factors remain consistent with
projections.
Pavement Maintenance Background
Residential Streets with Low Traffic Volumes
Residential streets with low traffic volumes tend to deteriorate due to weathering.As years of rain,
sun, and freeze-thaw cycles wear the pavement from the top down, the sticky asphalt binder that
holds the pavement together deteriorates. In a slurry seal application, a liquid mixture of asphalt
emulsion and sand is applied to the roadway. The mixture hardens as it cools and counters the
effects of weathering by restoring the asphalt binder near the pavement's surface.
2011 Pavement Condition Report—November 15,2011 Page 7
Slurry seal applications cost about one-tenth as much as pavement overlays and are the most cost-
effective way to extend the life of residential streets. The application is applied when a street is still
in relatively good condition in order to maintain that condition for several more years. Slurry seal
applications don't make streets look like new, but they do prevent further deterioration. Some streets
have deteriorated to a condition that is too poor to slurry seal; these streets require pavement
overlays and will be addressed as funding allows.
The City's slurry seal strategy is to work on an eight-year cycle by Neighborhood Network area,
slurry sealing all of the streets in that area which have fair to good pavement condition and low
traffic volumes. Slurry seal projects require extensive public notification because sections of the
street are closed for several hours at a time. Consolidating slurry seal streets by Neighborhood
Network area improves the efficiency of both the notification process and the slurry seal application.
In order to keep up with pavement deterioration on low volume residential streets,it is necessary to
slurry seal about 11 miles of roadway each year.
Streets with High Traffic Volumes and Streets Used by Heavy Vehicles
Streets with high traffic volumes and streets used by heavy vehicles are also affected by weather,but
tend to deteriorate more due to the volume and weight of vehicles using the street. Deterioration on
these streets most commonly takes the form of cracking from the repeated loading of thousands of
vehicles, especially heavy vehicles, each day. A pavement overlay consists of spreading a new layer
(typically 2 inches thick) of asphaltic concrete pavement on top of the existing street pavement.
This covers minor cracking and provides additional structure which extends the life of the roadway.
Overlays are typically constructed when a street is in fair condition. Once a street deteriorates to
poor condition, cracking has developed to a level where it compromises the structure of the
pavement and its ability to withstand future loading. At this point reconstruction is necessary to
remove and replace the cracked pavement and establish an adequate base. Such reconstruction often
costs five times more than a pavement overlay.
The City's current pavement overlay strategy focuses on keeping arterials, collectors, and other key
connection routes in good condition. When funding rises to a level adequate to protect our
investment and keep these through streets in fair or better condition, the City will then be able to
address some of the non-through streets with poor pavement condition that need more extensive
repair work.
In order to keep up with pavement deterioration on streets with high traffic volumes, significant
heavy vehicle use, or poor pavement condition, it is necessary to overlay about 3.5 miles of roadway
each year.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Tigard Transportation Advisory Committee (TTAC)
FROM: Mike McCarthy, Senior Project Engineer
RE: Pacific Hwy 99W / Gaarde / McDonald Conceptual Design
DATE: January 25, 2011
At your February meeting, you will have the task of considering a staff recommendation on
conceptual design alternatives for the Pacific/Gaarde/McDonald intersection.
In previous meetings, TTAC and Council considered eight '30,000-foot level' preliminary
options and selected three options to be fleshed out for further consideration:
Option A: Widen all approaches
Option B: Focus widening on Gaarde and McDonald Streets
Option C: Focus widening on Pacific Hwy 99W
The project team has fleshed out these options in more detail, bringing us to the figurative
10,000-foot level. At this level we are considering more specific questions like the actual
lane configuration of each approach. Attached are eight 11x17 sheets showing the concepts
considered at this '10,000-foot' level. Each sheet shows in red the location of new
construction or revised traffic configuration and provides a summary of the changes,
impacts, costs, and capacity benefits of each concept.
The project team recommends the following alternatives be advanced for further
consideration in the design process:
Concept B2: Widen the Gaarde and McDonald approaches and add a third
southbound lane on Pacific Hwy/99W.
Concept C2: Add a third southbound lane and northbound right and dual left turn
lanes on Pacific Hwy/99W
The numbers indicate that Concept B2 provides the most traffic benefit per dollar and
similar safety and ped/bike benefit to the other options. Concept C2 provides good benefit
per dollar, sets up 99W better for future improvements, and provides other benefits that
make it worthy of further consideration.
While these concepts would provide the best value for the taxpayer dollar and an
appropriate level of improvement, they are both estimated to cost more than the $5 million
currently set aside for this project. Additional funding would likely be necessary from the
city (such as a portion of existing gas tax revenue) and/or our agency partners to construct
either of these options.
If no additional funding is available, the option that would likely best use this $5 million is:
Concept C5: Add a third southbound lane and northbound right turn lane on Pacific
Hwy / 99W
The other options considered in this phase are not recommended for further study because
they would either a) cost too much, b) provide less benefit than other options of similar cost,
or c) would not provide enough benefit.
The city and MOT are in the process of hiring a design engineering firm to further flesh
out the recommended concepts and refine the cost estimates to help us choose a `winning'
concept this spring. Actual construction work on this project is still a few years in the
future.
If you have any questions about this project, please feel free to contact me at 503-718-2462
or mikem a,tigard-or.gov.
Thank you for your service to our community!
