Introduction
Asset management of public infrastructure is a key principle for a vibrant and thriving community.
The City of Brighton recognizes the importance of maintaining and improving its systems and, as
such, engaged Tetra Tech to perform a condition assessment of the public streets and assist the
City with identifying and prioritizing repairs to elevate the overall condition of the street network.
In October 2016 the City authorized the inventory of approximately 30 miles of public roads to
provide a pavement condition index (PCI) rating and the incorporation of that data into a future
asset management software system.

Background
The City of Brighton last performed a street assessment in the 1990s as a precursor to the Citys
street millage program. An annual program was undertaken that repaired or rebuilt the Citys
infrastructure up until the economic crisis in 2008/2009. Since that time only minor repairs have
been made due to funding constraints. As expected, the street condition has suffered in recent
years due to a lack of attention and recent increases in traffic throughout the City.
According to the current Act 51 tabulation the City has 12 miles of major roads and 18 miles of
local roads that it maintains and operates. Roadways are defined in four categories:

Arterial (Grand River)

Collector (Challis, Main)
Industrial (Advance, Interior)
Residential
A map showing the categories of roadway for the City is presented in Figure 1.

Asset management of public infrastructure is a key principle for a vibrant and thriving community.
The City of Brighton recognizes the importance of maintaining and improving its systems and, as

City with identifying and prioritizing repairs to elevate the overall condition of the street network.
In October 2016 the City authorized the inventory of approximately 30 miles of public roads to

Background
The City of Brighton last performed a street assessment in the 1990s as a precursor to the Citys
street millage program. An annual program was undertaken that repaired or rebuilt the Citys
infrastructure up until the economic crisis in 2008/2009. Since that time only minor repairs have
been made due to funding constraints. As expected, the street condition has suffered in recent
years due to a lack of attention and recent increases in traffic throughout the City.
According to the current Act 51 tabulation the City has 12 miles of major roads and 18 miles of
local roads that it maintains and operates. Roadways are defined in four categories:

Arterial (Grand River)

Collector (Challis, Main)

The condition assessment is based on the PAVER software standards to determine an overall
condition ranking of the specific section of the road. The PAVER rankings are numerical from 0
to 100, with 0 being a failed condition and 100 being perfect. Table 1 shows the condition
categories according to the PAVER software.

The PAVER software requires an input of the location and condition rating of the specific street.
This information is then summarized to obtain an overall rating of the street conditions within the
City. The software also provides an analysis tool to predict the condition of the streets given a
repair and maintenance budget over a five-year planning period. This tool will be useful in
developing the Citys Capital Improvement program.
Condition ratings are prioritized into high, medium, and low for the different types of street. Arterial
streets have the highest priority which represents the criticality of failure of the infrastructure. This
prioritization provides a basis for planning for improvements. For example, if a decision needs to
be made between an industrial street with a poor condition rating and a local street with the same
condition rating, the industrial street would show a higher priority for allocating available road
funds.

Field Investigation and Condition Rating

The condition of each roadway was visually inspected by walking each street. The observed
distresses were noted and each segment assigned a rating according to the PAVER system. The
condition assessment was performed in accordance with ASTM D6433-11 Standard Practice for
Roads and Parking Lots Pavement Condition Index Surveys. Our reports for each roadway are
provided for reference in the appendices. The observed pavement distresses were categorized
by type of distress and severity. A sample of the different categories of failures is provided below.

The street dimensions were also recorded during the field investigation. Length and width along
with type of pavement were noted for inclusion in the PAVER software. Since streets have a
variety of distress types it is difficult to inventory every failure point. The ASTM guidelines

Pavement Condition Assessment

City of Brighton, MI 12 March 2017
recognizes this and stipulates that for the field assessment, the street be divided into typical
sections and the condition of that test section used to develop an average rating for the entire
street. Once a street is selected for either maintenance or reconstruction activities a more
detailed evaluation of the types of repairs will be performed as part of the design.
The field data, physical information, type of street and priority of the street were input into the
PAVER software to determine the condition index rating of each street and the average condition
for the entire street network. A base map of the results of the condition assessment and software
analysis is include in the appendix.

Condition Assessment Summary

The pavement condition index (PCI) was developed for all City streets. The index was computed
using the PAVER software and its analysis of the condition data observed in the field. The overall
weighted average PCI for Brighton streets is 52. Listed below is a summary of the PCI ranges
and the number of streets that fall into each ranking.

Repair Methods and Costs

The benefit and capabilities of the PAVER software is its ability to forecast street conditions given
certain budgetary and condition goals of the City. The software allows the user to select a
threshold for specific repairs or reconstruction activities based on the PCI for the street. For the
purposes of this study, it was assumed that any road with a PCI of 40 or less, poor to failing
ratings, would be considered for reconstruction. Streets with a PCI of 41 to 55 are candidates for
resurfacing, and ones in better condition are estimated for maintenance/crack sealing efforts. The
1995 street condition study defined reconstruction as milling and overlaying pavement removal
and replacement, curb and gutter replacement, repair of stormwater catch basins, and minor
drainage improvements. Maintenance included crack sealing, pavement patching, and
bituminous sealing. These definitions appear to be consistent with todays industry and were
used in developing the costs for the repairs. The following tables show the streets whose
condition warranted reconstruction and those meeting the threshold for maintenance activities.

Unit costs for repair and reconstruction were applied to the individual streets according to the type
of service recommended by the PAVER software. Listed below are the results of the calculations
showing the opinion of cost for the type of street and the type of maintenance based on the PCI
rating.
Table 6 - Opinion of Cost by Street/Maintenance Type

Arterial $1,411,978.92 $1,717,338.00 $133,936.51 $3,263,253.43

Industrial $314,257.10 $196,274.72 $53,287.18 $563,819.00

Residential $7,428,993.00 $2,645,021.60 $199,701.55 $10,273,716.15

TOTALS: $9,155,229.02 $4,721,133.72 $421,288.30 $14,297,651.04

Annual maintenance such as crack sealing and bituminous patching provides the greatest return
in terms of condition for the dollars spent. Pavements retain their condition fairly well as long as
moisture penetration is prevented and small repairs addressed in a timely manner. As pavements
move from good to poor condition the timeframe accelerates towards failure.
The total cost to raise all roads to a PCI of 85 or better would be just less than $14,300,000.
Undertaking all the improvements in one project is unfeasible. However, the City can utilize the
PAVER software to plan for a desired condition, and with that, determine what magnitude of
funding would be required to achieve your goals.
As the City uses the PAVER tool for developing its capital improvement plan, the assumptions
and thresholds can be changed as deemed necessary. It may be desirable to have a different
threshold for reconstruction based on the type of street. For instance, the arterial streets may
have a PCI threshold of 60 before reconstruction given the criticality of the roadway and user
backlash if it falls into a poor or failing condition. This would change the annual budgeting and
the resultant increase in PCI based on the repair and maintenance actions selected.
It is also important to determine a goal for the overall PCI that the City wants to achieve. The
software provides inputs for an overall goal after five years and calculates the annual budget
required to reach this goal. Again, several trials and scenarios will need to be developed to
determine the goal that can be achieved given funding availability.
For this study it was assumed that any road rating below 40 would be reconstructed and others
would have maintenance activities performed. From this, two trial scenarios were run with the
PAVER software to illustrate the capabilities and order of magnitude for the road repair budget.
The first scenario shows the annual funding required to maintain the current PCI level. This is an
important benchmark in that as roadways age the condition decreases more sharply with time
from a fair to failure condition than from new to fair. The curve below shows this time versus
condition relationship and the anticipated costs in maintenance versus reconstruction.

 Figure 10 - Time Versus Condition Relationship

The trial scenario to maintain the current PCI rating over the next five years resulted in an annual
budget of $1,500,000 distributed between those roads needing maintenance and some
reconstruction.

For comparison purposes it was then assumed that the City would want to increase the overall
PCI rating and determine the annual budget allocation. Since the overall weighted average PCI
is 52, it was assumed that the condition goal after 5 years would be a modest increase to a PCI
of 60. Using the PAVER software budgeting application the City would need to budget $2,300,000
per year towards road reconstruction and maintenance to achieve the increase in overall PCI.

From the results of these two scenarios it takes a significant investment to produce an increase
in the City wide PCI. The software will allow the City to quickly analyze the return on investment
on the streets given user specified assumptions and then matching the goals with funding
limitations.

Conclusion
The City has an overall poor rating for its roadways. There are areas with failing pavements that
through planning can be addressed in a fiscally responsible manner. Utilizing the PAVER tool
will help prioritize the improvements and determine how to maximize the Citys investment in road
infrastructure. As improvements are planned and implemented throughout the City this data
should be entered into the database and progress reports developed. The next step will be to
incorporate the PAVER data into the Lucity platform which will allow real time tracking of the PCI
and identify future improvement project priorities.
