Pavement Condition Assessment

The City of San Diego currently maintains approximately 6542 lane miles of roadways and 473 lane miles of alleys. Network-wide surveys were completed in the years 2011, 2016, and 2023. Those surveys collected data for pavement surface distress types, severities, and extents for entry into the City’s pavement management application, Cartegraph OMS, as well as publication of results on the City’s public webpage. The city is comprised of a total of 7016 lane miles of which approximately 6348 lane miles are asphalt roadways and the remainder is exposed cement concrete (approximately 668 lane miles). The typical distribution of arterial collector streets versus local streets is consistent with other cities at 25% to 75% ratio. City staff use Cartegraph OMS to help them select appropriate maintenance and rehabilitation treatments for each roadway in the network, and to prioritize the required maintenance, repair, and reconstruction activities for the entire network.

It is the intent of the City of San Diego to contract with a qualified vendor for a semi-automated/automated roadway inspection and technical evaluation. The goal of this effort is to establish an accurate and complete database on which to make cost-effective decisions relating to the maintenance and rehabilitation of streets within the City. The objective is to contract with a qualified vendor that has significant experience assessing pavement conditions and working with databases, that will provide the City the necessary data to define a resurfacing program that provides the least lifecycle costs while maximizing the benefit of limited funding.
