Public Works and Chico State’s Pavement Preservation Center

The City has contracted with the California Pavement Preservation Center at California State University, Chico, to evaluate the City’s pavement and Pavement Management Program (PMP).

The PMP provides a management tool to inventory street pavement, assess pavement condition, record historical maintenance, forecast budget needs, and view funding impacts on Citywide pavement condition over time. The PMP is also a software-based tool for analyzing pavement conditions and recommending rehabilitation strategies based on funding levels, which focuses on providing cost-effective recommendations that enhance the overall system Pavement Condition Index (PCI).
