5.0 PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS AND COMMENTS <br />5.1. Project Summary and Recommendations <br />A pavement condition survey was performed in September 2021 on the full City pavement network. The <br />results of the condition survey were aggregated into the Lucity pavement management system. This <br />system was used to organize a georeferenced pavement inventory, develop an accurate model of the <br />network's condition and anticipated deterioration, and provide funding recommendations for various <br />level -of -service goals. <br />The following broad recommendations are presented to City as an output from the pavement analysis <br />and must be read in conjunction with the previous sections. <br />• The City should make efforts to keep the Lucity database up to date. <br />— By maintaining and updating the rehabilitation unit rates, work history of the segments, and <br />accuracy of the inventory, the City will be able to reliably forecast funding needs for future <br />years. This allows the City to be proactive in maintaining the condition of the pavement <br />network at an acceptable level. <br />• The City should periodically resurvey the pavement network. <br />— Pavement performance over time involves many variables, such as traffic volumes, <br />environmental factors, maintenance timing, and design standards. As these variables <br />change, the rate at which a pavement deteriorates will change with them. The periodic <br />resurvey of pavement conditions allows the City to track these changes and update models <br />accordingly to ensure that appropriate rehabilitation measures are being planned. <br />• The City should investigate new and additional rehabilitation activities. <br />— As technology progresses, improvements in pavement rehabilitation are constantly being <br />made. When possible, the City should refresh the rehabilitation activities planned in Lucity <br />to ensure these advances are used to the City's advantage. <br />• The City should strive to maintain or better its current condition if possible. <br />— Generally, it is more cost effective to maintain a condition than it is to regain ground lost to <br />deterioration. The City currently maintains an overall network PCI of 73 with a backlog value <br />of 2%. <br />5.2. Closing <br />The IMS Team greatly appreciates the opportunity to work with the City on this pavement management <br />update. Over the course of this project, it has become clear that the City staff demonstrates a strong <br />commitment to providing the highest level of service that they can to their community. IMS stands <br />ready to assist the City with training and technical support as necessary, and we welcome the <br />opportunity to work with the City on future pavement management projects. <br />IMS Pavement Management Report Louisville, CO 2022 Page 1 33 <br />
