The City of Livermore owns and maintains approximately 310 center miles of streets.  The Engineering division manages the street resurfacing program and in 2021 completed the 2021 Pavement Management Plan utilizing P-TAP-21 grant funding from Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) subsidized with local match.  A detailed visual inspection of the City’s streets resulted in a calculated average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of 80. Using a 0-100 PCI scale, with 100 being the most favorable, a rating of 80 places the City’s street network in the 'Good' condition category.

The City utilizes the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, Streetsaver Pavement Management Program (PMP) to develop a maintenance strategy that will improve the overall condition of the street network to an optimal Pavement Condition Index (PCI) in the low to mid 80’s and also to maintain it at that level.  The MTC Streetsaver program maximizes the cost-effectiveness of the maintenance treatment plan by recommending a multi-year street maintenance and rehabilitation plan based on the most cost-effective repairs available.  The street maintenance projects are developed based on the recommendations in the PMP in conjunction with field visits performed by staff or consulting engineers and the program budget.

Pavement management systems are designed with a more cost-effective, “best-first” approach – the program strategy is to treat streets with lower-cost, preventative maintenance treatments, such as slurry seals, Microsurfacing, and crack seals, and extend their life cycle before the street condition deteriorates to a state where it requires more costly rehabilitation and reconstruction treatments.  Generally, paved streets spend about three-quarters of their life cycle in fair to good condition, where the street shows little sign of deterioration and has a high service level. After this time, the street condition begins to deteriorate at a rapid rate and, if not maintained properly, will soon reach a condition where it will require costly overlays and reconstructions. If treated with a surface seal and other preventative measures, the street condition will remain at a good level for a longer period of time. Figure 1 shows a typical condition deterioration curve for a street.
