Memorandum
To: 

Technical Advisory Committee

From:

Laurie Williamson, Senior Transportation Engineer

Meeting Date:

April 1, 2021

Subject:

Measure X Regional Pavement Management Program


RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Measure X Regional Pavement Management Program

  1. RECEIVE information on an optional coordinated joint procurement to conduct pavement condition assessments for the Measure X Pavement Management Program; and
  2. REQUEST each jurisdiction express interest, or not, in participating in a joint procurement to conduct pavement condition assessments.
SUMMARY:
The Transportation Agency is offering to coordinate a joint procurement for pavement condition assessments to assist jurisdictions in meeting their ongoing pavement management program requirements under Measure X.  The Transportation Agency is requesting a commitment from each local agency of their intent to participate, or not, in this joint program.  Participating agencies will need to contribute a proportionate share of the costs for the work.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Measure X allocates 60% of the funds received to local road maintenance, pothole repairs and safety.  The funds are distributed to each local agency in compliance with the approved ordinance.  The procurement of a pavement condition assessment program by the Transportation Agency is eligible to be funded out of this program prior to distribution of funds to the cities and the County.
DISCUSSION:

Ordinance No. 2016-01 for the Transportation Safety and Investment Plan (Measure X) outlines the requirements for the use of local road maintenance, pothole repair and safety funds.  It includes a requirement for each jurisdiction to have a pavement management program.  "Each city and the County of Monterey shall develop, or participate in the development of by TAMC, a pavement management program.  They shall submit regular reports on the conditions of their streets, to ensure timely repairs and keep the public informed.  Development of the pavement management program by TAMC is eligible to be funded out of this program prior to distribution of funds to the cities and the County."  The Measure X funding agreement includes requirements that jurisdictions must complete the following pavement management program tasks:

 

  • Review and update the pavement information for all roads every two years.
  • Re-inspect pavement conditions of arterials and collector streets every three years.
  • Re-Inspect pavement conditions of residential streets and local/rural roads every six years, unless otherwise approved by TAMC.

 

In 2017, the Transportation Agency provided an option for jurisdictions to participate in a coordinated joint procurement of Pavement Management Program Consultant Services.   For participating jurisdictions, these services included pavement condition surveys of all paved streets and roads, updated maintenance and rehabilitation strategies, budget analysis and funding scenarios, and final reports. 

 

To assist jurisdictions in meeting their ongoing Pavement Management Program requirements, the Transportation Agency staff is again prepared to move forward with the preparation and release of a Request for Proposals for consultant services to provide pavement management program services based on the interest of member agencies.  Agency staff is requesting that each jurisdiction indicate their interest, or not, in participating in a joint procurement for pavement management program services.  Based on the level of interest, the Transportation Agency staff may then choose to move forward with the joint procurement.
