The purpose of the pavement maintenance program is to establish an effective, economic priority system for the repair of deteriorated pavement and the preservation of good pavement. The city uses George Butler & Associates (GBA) Street Master Program to evaluate the condition of the streets. The GBA assigns a numerical value to each street that indicates the pavement condition. The GBA is one of the tools that the city uses to determine the condition of the street.

The City strives to maintain current pavement conditions in its database to help ensure that accurate information is available for planning future repairs. City staff will be reviewing the conditions of all City-maintained roadways during the fall and winter of 2011.  Approximately one quarter of the City-maintained roadways will be reviewed each year thereafter to maintain the system's accuracy and relevance.

City staff performs field observations and surveys of the paving condition and enters this data into the computer program, which then assigns a numerical value from 0 to 100. The program also depreciates the number over time and traffic conditions. A score of 0 indicates that the street is in an unsatisfactory condition and a score of 100 indicates excellent condition.

City staff uses the GBA scores to assign each street to a different maintenance schedule. Schedules and resurfacing products include: micro surfacing, asphalt rejuvenators and selected mill and overlay. Both micro surfacing and asphalt rejuvenators are surface treatments that extend the service life of the pavement and are typically used on streets with higher scores. Mill and overlay are the most expensive of the resurfacing options and are used when the pavement surface has reached its maximum service life.
