Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
A pavement management system (PMS) is a systematic method used
				to manage the preservation, rehabilitation, and maintenance of paved road
				systems by analyzing pavement life cycles, to assess overall system performance
				and costs, and to determine the alternative strategies and costs necessary to
				prevent significant road deterioration. A key element of a PMS is its ability
				to provide pavement preservation alternatives based upon a predictive pavement
				deterioration model.

				collector and arterial roads in order to retain eligibility for CAPP funds.
				Application of the PMS to the local access system will not be required to
				retain eligibility for CAPP funds.

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
Each county's PMS shall meet the following minimum
				standards:
(1) All county jurisdiction
			 paved collectors and arterials, as defined by the most recently approved county
			 road log as described in chapter 136-60 WAC, shall be surveyed for visual
			 pavement distress at least biennially. Distress rating information must be
			 keyed to the county road log by both road number and mileposts.
(2) All visual distresses (or defects) for
			 both flexible and rigid pavements, both in severity and extent, shall be as
			 defined within the " Pavement Surface Condition Rating Manual " (March 1992,
			 produced by the Washington state transportation center in cooperation with the
			 northwest pavement management systems users group and the Washington state
			 department of transportation). Only those distresses noted as "core program
			 defect" are required to be surveyed. Measurement may be at the project,
			 segment, or sample unit level. Measurement for each distress will be by one of
			 the following:
(a) Selection of the most
			 predominant severity and extent combination; or
(b) Determination of the extent percent of
			 each level of severity.
Measurement may be by a manual or automated visual condition
				rating process. The distress information will be converted to a pavement
				condition rating in accordance with a standard deduct matrix or continuous
				deduct value curves as provided by the county road administration board.
				Alternate deduct matrices may be used by a county for internal management
				analyses. Alternate distress determination and evaluation methodologies may be
				used if approved by the county road administration board in accordance with WAC
				136-70-050. The PMS shall provide
				for the recording and storage of pavement resurfacing, rehabilitation and
				reconstruction history data, including surfacing and base layer types and
				thicknesses, and year of application. Counties will not be required to
				determine such information for any work done prior to the county's
				implementation date.

Alternative PMS distress determination and evaluation

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
The county road administration board has determined that the
				interests of the counties in the several regions will be best served by
				encouraging development of distinct project priority rating systems for each
				region.
There shall be five project types eligible for RATA funding,
				with each having separate rating systems for project ranking and selection. The
				five project types include:
(1)
			 Reconstruction - Emphasis on alignment and grade changes on 50 percent or more
			 of the project length, and may include additional travel lanes and right of way
			 costs.
(2) 3R - Resurfacing,
			 restoration, and rehabilitation - Primary focus on extending the service life
			 of existing facility involving less than 50 percent vertical or horizontal
			 changes, and on safety improvements. Right of way costs are eligible for RATA
			 reimbursement as a part of this project type.
(3) 2R - Resurfacing and restoration -
			 Primary focus on restoration of the pavement structure on the existing vertical
			 and horizontal alignment and spot safety improvements. Minor widening costs are
			 allowed as a part of this project type. Right of way costs are not eligible for
			 RATA reimbursement in this project type.
(4) Intersection - 3R or reconstruction work
			 limited to the vicinity of an existing intersection, and may include additional
			 travel lanes and right of way costs.
(5) Bridge and drainage structures -
			 Replacement or major rehabilitation of an existing bridge or other drainage
			 structure, and may include additional travel lanes and right of way costs. The
			 bridge or drainage structure(s) cost must be a minimum of 50 percent of the
			 overall project cost.
(a) All National Bridge
			 Inventory (NBI) listed structures are eligible for replacement or
			 rehabilitation. Rehabilitation is the major work required to restore the
			 structural integrity of a bridge as well as work necessary to correct major
			 safety defects.
(b) All non-NBI
			 structures are eligible for replacement of the existing structure.
In consultation with the individual regions, the executive
				director shall approve the various forms and procedures necessary to allocate
				available RATA funding, consistent with RCW    36.79.080.
These project types shall be available for each region, and no
				regional sublimits shall apply for project types.
