The City's Pavement Management Plan is a proactive approach to preserve the City's roadways, extend their useful life and maintain a high quality pavement condition system wide. The current plan includes pavement preservation techniques, including: crack sealing, surface chip seal coating, pavement rejuvenation, patching, mill and overlaying and full reconstruction. These techniques are spaced out throughout the pavement life cycle to proactively preserve the roadway pavement, minimize life cycle maintenance costs and delay the need for full replacement.

A key component of this management plan includes accurately rating the current pavement condition and forecasting the anticipated decline. This is critical to understand to ensure that the appropriate pavement preservation techniques are budgeted for system wide in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). Currently, the city has been assigning pavement ratings on a semi-annual basis through visual inspection performed by seasonal staff. This judgement approach has led to inconsistencies in the city's overall rating system and reduces the reliability of the long-range planning.

GoodPointe Technology supports the City by providing an Infrastructure Asset Management (IAM) system that allows staff to prepare pavement management plans included in the City's CIP. This system relies on an accurate pavement condition to forecast pavement deterioration and assign pavement strategies for rehabilitation. In addition to the system services, GoodPointe Technology provides automated pavement condition assessment services utilizing high resolution 360 degree cameras and GPS technology. This assessment approach documents the types and related quantities of pavement distresses along roadway segments to calculate a Pavement Condition Index (PCI). The pavement conditions will then be imported into the IAM system to be used by staff for capital planning. 

The image data used to produce the pavement condition survey data can also be used to extract and collect other right of way asset data delivered as geo-referenced data for use in the City's GIS database. The Agreement includes extracting boulevard tree data to be used by staff for inventorying and planning forestry management initiatives including trimming, treatment, removal and planting.
