In November 2016, Monterey County voters passed Measure X, a three-eighths cent tax, which will provide funding to local agencies for roadways improvements for 30 years. On January 9, 2018, the City Council adopted Resolution 2018-004 authorizing a Pavement Management Programs Funding Agreement with the Transportation Agency for Monterey County (TAMC) for the City's use of Measure X funds.
As a condition of receiving Measure X funds, the City must maintain a Pavement Management Program (PMP). Under the Pavement Management Programs Funding Agreement, the City of Carmel, Monterey County, and five (5) other local municipalities combined resources to set up a cost-effective and consistent PMP. Further, the PMP allows these agencies to benchmark and compare their Pavement Condition Index on an “apples-to-apples” basis.
The Metropolitan Transportation Commission of the San Francisco Bay region created the “Street Saver” PMP system being used by all agencies in this group. According to Street Saver, our current Pavement Condition Index is 75 on a scale of 100, indicating one of the best pavement conditions overall in Monterey County, but with room for improvement.
The attached Amendment to the Measure X Pavement Management Programs Funding Agreement simply continues the City’s 13.1% cost sharing to include only the PMP program cost without the consultant cost which was included in the original Agreement to field survey the pavement conditions and set up the database. The City’s cost for this year is $2,950, and the City’s cost for future years under this Amendment may not exceed $3,250.
