Background:
On September 14, 2021, Public Works presented the Pavement Management System to the Board of County Commissioners. At that time, the County’s weighted average network condition or Pavement Condition Index (PCI) was 60. The net worth (or Asset Value) of the County roadway network was estimated to be approximately $1.5 billion. This estimate is derived by multiplying the total number of pavement square yards comprising the network (approximately 9.8 million square yards) by County’s average square yard replacement cost of $156.00. to the Board of County Commissioners. Adjusted for inflation to 2023, the current net worth (or Asset Value) of the County roadway network is estimated to be approximately $1.9 billion.
Furthermore, in 2021, the estimated amount to Maintain Current Condition of PCI 60 or to Achieve a target PCI of 70 was approximately $31.5M/Year and $41.5M/Year, respectively. Adjusting these values to current year, the estimated amounts are $33.4M/Year and $44.0M/Year.
As instructed by the Board, Public Works worked with Mr. Chris Dawson, AICP, Transportation Planning Manager to include the Areas of Inequity within the Pavement Management System. An additional weight of 20% was given to roadways within Areas of Inequity.
On January 24, 2023, staff presented to the Board the proposed Transportation Capital Improvement Program (TCIP) which only included projects that were fully funded as per current estimates and adjusted for inflation (3%) with revenues being projected to accumulate until such funds are allocated to projects.
Since the Infrastructure Surtax was approved by the voters for 10 years, the proposed TCIP included 10-years of Roadway Improvements and 5-years for the following programs:
• Program - Signals
• Program - Bridge Rehabilitation / Construction
• Program - Bike/Ped Program
In order to have information to the Board for the discussion, meetings were held one-on-one with each commissioner. Following said meetings, the Consultant has been asked to prepare several items for discussion which will be available on March 7, 2023.
