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.
