INTRODUCTION <br />The City of Eugene's 484 mile street system consists of pavements of various types, ages, and <br />serviceability (condition). In order to provide information necessary to manage this extensive <br />public asset, the Maintenance Division of the Public Works Department implemented a pavement <br />management system (PMS) in 1987. Annual condition inspections, automated record systems, and <br />asset analysis routines are all part ofthe on-going management of Eugene's pavement system. After <br />14 years of use, the PMS consists of a awell-established street inventory and associated historic <br />condition data. Analysis of this information using PMS software, creates an environmentthat allows <br />for development of a predictive model of Eugene's road network. <br />This report describes the street system in terms of improvement status, system mileage, street <br />classification, and current system condition. Also captured in the report is the following <br />information: The current practices, current rehabilitation needs, current costs, projected <br />rehabilitation needs for the next 10 years, and funding analysis based on various budget constraints <br />as applied to current treatment practices. <br />EUGENE'S PAVEMENT SYSTEM <br />The City of Eugene has jurisdictional responsibility for many different types and classifications of <br />roads within the transportation system. Many factors such as age, development type, traffic loads, <br />use, and future transportation needs affect the maintenance planning for the system. <br />IMPROVEMENT STATUS <br />For purposes of establishing budget allocations and rehabilitation priorities, and performing <br />maintenance activities based on established maintenance policies, Eugene divides the street <br />inventory into two distinct categories: <br />Improved streets are those which have been fully designed for structural adequacy, have <br />storm drainage facilities provided which include curbs, and have either an asphalt concrete <br />(AC) or a portland cement concrete (PCC) surface. Typically, these streets were either fully <br />improved when the area was developed and paid for by the developer or were improved <br />through a local improvement district (LID) and paid for in part, by the abutting property <br />owners. In some cases a street may have been fully improved while under State or County <br />.jurisdiction and then surrendered to the City. Improved streets receive the highest level of <br />on-going maintenance and are eligible for rehabilitation funding through Eugene's Capital <br />Improvement Program. <br />__ <br />Page 1 <br />
