ISSUE STATEMENT
This work session is a continuation of the discussion about funding for pavement capital preservation
projects with a General Obligation (GO) bond measure. The council is asked to provide direction for
development of a resolution to place a GO bond measure on the ballot in November of 2008.
BACKGROUND
Council Action History
Over the past several years, the council has worked on ways to adequately fund a large and growing
pavement preservation project backlog. Some highlights from the history of this effort are included in
Attachment A. Most recently, on January 28, the council continued discussions of an approach to use
General Obligation bonds for street preservation projects. The council directed the City Manager to
“bring a resolution forward placing an $81 million General Obligation bond measure to be used for
preservation only, no system capacity enhancements, on the November 2008 ballot.” A friendly
amendment was added to provide a complete project list as part of the ballot measure. The $81 million
bond measure will provide for $6.5 million of overlays and reconstruction activities each year, factoring
in the cost of inflation over a 10-year period.
There were two policy issues left to resolve after the January 28 meeting: a specific list of projects, and
a method for ensuring that the projects to be funded could be adjusted, as required, in future years.
Project List
According to information published by the American Public Works Association, the cost of reconstruct-
ing a road on which maintenance has been deferred is five to six times as much as the cost to perform a
timely overlay. One of the most cost-effective uses of pavement preservation dollars is to perform time-
ly overlays on streets which are identified as likely to fall into the much more expensive “reconstruct”
category. The bond measure project list was developed in order to provide the most effective use of
public dollars consistent with council direction by addressing overlay projects to the extent possible, as
well as including some high traffic streets in need of reconstruction.
For this bond measure, street preservation projects would include overlays or reconstruction of the
driving surface of streets, as well as the preservation of existing integral elements such as curbs, gutters,
sidewalks, on-street bike lanes, traffic signals, street lights, medians, and traffic calming devices. In
addition, $350,000 per year would be allocated to overlay or reconstruction of off-street bike and
Z:\CMO\2008 Council Agendas\M080609\S080609C.doc
pedestrian paths. In all cases, bond funds would be used only to preserve existing elements, not to
expand the capacity of the system, for instance, by installing new traffic lights or bike lanes.
An initial list of street preservation projects to be funded from the bond proceeds has been developed
based on data from the pavement management system. The pavement management system incorporates
street data including surface descriptions and associated mileage, pavement condition and current
treatment programs and costs. The system then uses that data to project future treatment needs. The
2008 Pavement Management Report generated from this system is included as Attachment B.
Attachment C sets out the initial list of projects generated by the pavement management system. This
list allocates all of the bond proceeds, except for the portion that would be used for the annual $350,000
allocation for preserving off-street bike and pedestrian paths.
The next step in developing this list into a set of projects for the bond measure is to consolidate some of
the street segments identified as needing overlay or reconstruction during the next 10 years into logical
street preservation projects that would be done concurrently. For instance, the list contains several
segments of a street, such as Willamette, with some gaps in-between. The actual project undertaken
might include a contiguous length of Willamette, including those short portions not originally identified
by the pavement management system, depending on the condition rating of those other portions. In that
way, staff would ensure that a single street is not under construction each year to repair different small
segments, but the street is repaired in a more comprehensive way. When staff brings back the bond
resolution for council consideration in July, the project list will be refined to take this consolidation of
street preservation projects into account.
The council also expressed interest in ensuring that any list of street preservation projects to be
associated with the bond measure be geographically distributed throughout the community to make
certain that all areas of the City receive a benefit from the bond proceeds. In order to allow council and
the public to more easily see the geographic distribution of streets on the project list, a map of the initial
list of street preservation projects is included in Attachment D. Note that the map does not include the
off-street bike and pedestrian paths that will be overlaid or reconstructed with the $350,000 annual
allocation.
Project Implementation
Over the life of the bond measure, pavement conditions or circumstances could change, making it more
fiscally prudent or a higher community priority to spend funds on street preservation projects which
were not anticipated in 2008. For example, current street condition ratings, as determined by the City’s
pavement management system and additional testing, may change due to unanticipated severe weather
which might warrant priority overlays on streets not previously identified as “at risk” or not otherwise
due for an overlay for several years. In addition, future street repair costs cannot be predicted with
absolute accuracy, and adjustments to the project list might be needed to match the list of projects to the
amount of available bond proceeds.
To address the flexibility needed to conform the GO Bond project list to the amount of bond proceeds
available over the 10-year period, the resolution would include a provision for a Department Advisory
Committee named the Street Preservation Advisory Committee (Committee). The Committee would
advise the Public Works Department about the street preservation projects to be funded by each year’s
capital budget. It would be comprised of a variety of stakeholders from various geographic areas of the
City and would include members with expertise in street preservation activities. The Public Works
Department would take the recommendation of the Committee into account when compiling the annual
Z:\CMO\2008 Council Agendas\M080609\S080609C.doc
street preservation project list, and would note any differences between the Committee
recommendations and previous proposed project lists. The Committee would also advise the City
Manager about supplementing the project list if unanticipated pavement conditions or funding oppor-
tunities arise. The City Manager would consult with the Committee prior to modifying the initial street
preservation project list.
There would also be a regular review by an outside auditor for the purpose of issuing a report on the use
of the bond proceeds. The auditor procedures would ascertain that the bond proceeds were used for the
purposes, and in compliance with the restrictions, set forth in the ballot language. The auditor would
furnish a written report to the City Manager, who would provide the report to council as well as to the
Committee. The report would also be made publicly available.
Timing
Council’s last opportunity to pass a resolution placing the measure on the ballot prior to going on break
would be August 6. July 28 is the tentatively scheduled date for council consideration of this resolution,
which would require that Council provide final direction for changes to the resolution no later than June
30 in order to allow for adequate bond counsel review and approval of those changes. A draft of the
resolution is included as Attachment E.
Once council passes a resolution placing the measure on the ballot, the City Attorney will create a ballot
title (caption, question and summary), which will be published in the Register-Guard. Citizens will have
an opportunity to challenge the ballot language by filing a petition with the Lane County Circuit Court
within seven business days of the date that the City Attorney files the ballot title with the City Recorder.
RELATED CITY POLICIES
Council’s goals for 2007 include “Transportation Initiative: Develop mechanisms to adequately fund our
transportation system for cars, trucks, bikes and pedestrians including maintenance and preservation and
capital reconstruction.”
COUNCIL OPTIONS
The three policy issues before council at this work session are:
?
Project List:
An initial street preservation project list to be included in the measure is provided
as Attachment C. This list will be refined to consolidate street segments needing repairs into
logical engineering projects, as previously described. The council could modify the project list
as deemed appropriate.
?
Project Implementation:
Staff recommends a Street Preservation Advisory Committee be
formed to advise the Public Works Department on the GO Bond project list to be funded in the
capital budget each year. The council could modify the method of building project flexibility
into implementation of the bond measure.
?
Measure Size:
The council conceptually approved $6.5 million of annual spending, adjusted in
subsequent years for inflation plus bond issuance costs, for a total measure of $81.1 million. The
council could choose a different amount for the bond measure. Attachment F includes the effect
on taxpayers for different bond amounts.
CITY MANAGER’S RECOMMENDATION
The City Manager recommends that a November 2008 GO Bond measure to fund $81.1 million of street
and off-street bike and pedestrian path preservation projects over 10 years should be prepared for con-
sideration at the July 28 council meeting. The projects included in the measure should be consistent
with the initial project list included in Attachment C, as refined to consolidate street segments into
logical engineering projects, and a Department Advisory Committee should be formed to oversee future
project implementation.
SUGGESTED MOTION
Direct the City Manager to bring council a resolution placing an $81.1 million GO bond measure on the
November 2008 ballot, consistent with the initial project list in Attachment C and the draft resolution in
Attachment E.

Pavement Preservation Funding Action History
The City’s current 5-cent local gas tax, together with other dedicated pavement preservation funding,
has allowed the City to complete nearly $16.5 million in street preservation project work since 2003,
with additional contracts in progress. During 2007, more than 17.4 lane miles of slurry seal projects and
20.5 lane miles of rehabilitation projects were completed, including the overlay of portions of 18th
th
Avenue, Chambers Street and Bailey Hill Road. Projects planned for 2008 include portions of East 13
Avenue, Barger Drive, Chambers Street and Roosevelt Boulevard.
In spite of these accomplishments, the backlog of needed repair work continues to grow in the face of
rapidly rising construction costs and insufficient revenues. In late 2001, the City was facing an
estimated $67 million backlog in pavement preservation work. By spring of 2008, the estimated cost of
that backlog had grown to $173 million and, with no new funding, was projected to grow to over $280
million within the next 10 years.
In January 2007, the council formed a Council Subcommittee on Transportation Funding Solutions
(subcommittee) to study transportation funding options and bring back creative solutions for adequately
funding Eugene’s transportation system for cars, trucks, bicycles and pedestrians in ways that collect
funds proportionately (or equally) from residents and non-residents who use the roads, are more
consistent with sustainability goals, have direct connection to use of the roads, and give incentives to
those who do not have a car or use one very little.
This proposal for a bond measure for street repairs is an integral component in a package strategy
recommended by the subcommittee, and approved by the council, to adequately and equitably fund
Eugene’s transportation system for a variety of users. The package of proposed solutions included a
street user fee based on parking spaces, and a street and bike/pedestrian path lighting fee, and an
increase in the local motor vehicle fuel tax. The council also took action to extend the local fuel tax
sunset provision by three additional years, leaving the fuel tax at five cents per gallon until February 28,
2011.
In the course of its work, the subcommittee learned that, in order to completely eliminate the pavement
reconstruction backlog within the next 10 years, an estimated $27 million in pavement preservation
funding would be needed per year. The subcommittee deemed this revenue target to be too aggressive
and, instead, recommended additional annual funding of $13 million to $14 million, bringing total
pavement preservation funding up to $18 million per year. While this additional funding would not
eliminate the backlog within 10 years, it was projected that it would stabilize the cost-effective annual
overlay program and begin to reduce the reconstruction backlog.
The subcommittee recommended that the transportation funding package include a capital local option
levy generating approximately $6 million net revenues annually to fund pavement capital preservation
projects. The council subsequently decided to allocate another $0.5 million to the capital local option
levy instead of allocating this amount to a solid waste collection surcharge. In addition, the
subcommittee recommended and the council agreed that $350,000 of that amount should be allocated
each year for bike and pedestrian path capital preservation.
On December 10, 2007, the council discussed a property tax approach to funding pavement capital
preservation. Staff presented an approach using a short-term GO bond. Council directed the City
Manager to “bring a proposal to a future council work session for a GO Bond measure to fund $81
million of pavement capital preservation projects over 10 years within an appropriate timeframe to place
the question on the May 2008 ballot. The proposal should include ballot measure language that provides
for both a list of high priority pavement capital preservation projects and appropriate flexibility for
planning activities and changing pavement capital preservation project priorities.”

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The annual Pavement Management Report is produced to provide updated information and
data regarding the City of Eugene’s street transportation system. This report provides surface
descriptions and associated mileage, current treatment programs and costs, and projects future
treatment needs based on several funding scenarios.
The street transportation system is conservatively estimated to represent a $500 million public
asset. This asset is typically described in both lane miles and centerline miles. Currently,
Public Works manages Eugene’s 1,343 lane miles, representing 538 centerline miles, within
the city limits. A breakdown of the street transportation system is provided in terms of
pavement type, level of improvement, and functional classification. Comparative statistical
data includes both lane and centerline miles.
Street data is collected manually by trained staff involving detailed inspections. Condition
inspections are performed annually on arterials and collectors, and on a three-year rotating
schedule for residential streets. An Overall Condition Index (OCI) score generated through
the inspections provides the data utilized in analysis. CenterLine, a computerized pavement
management system (PMS) is the analysis tool utilized by the Public Works Department.
Analysis helps in establishing efficient treatment needs and identifies financial implication of
various response strategies. Additional benefits of the PMS include a street inventory and
condition trends, which are possible due to the compilation of 20 years of street condition
information.
For some time, funding levels have not kept pace with rehabilitation needs, as evidenced by a
growing backlog. To help address this trend, the City established a local gas tax in 2003,
dedicated for a Pavement Preservation Program (PPP). This program has supported the
rehabilitation of approximately 107 lane miles of streets. For this report, an assumption has
been made that the 2 cent gas tax initially scheduled to sunset February 2008, will continue to
provide a funding stream. Even with this assumption, the funding for preservation dips to
$4.2 million annually. At the current level, preservation funding is not addressing a growing
backlog. A $173 million backlog existed at the end of 2007, and by 2017, a backlog of $339
million is anticipated. A portion of the backlog increase is due to unprecedented rising costs
in the petroleum industry. Current analysis in the Pavement Management Report includes
updated costs prepared by Engineering in 2006 utilizing cost data from prior PPP projects and
the Oregon Department of Transportation. A 2% inflation factor is added to the modified
2006 costs.
The local gas tax has supported implementation of the preservation program, but as supported
by analysis, is insufficient for stabilizing or reducing the growing backlog. Optimizing
funding options over a 10-year cycle for stabilizing or reducing the current backlog will
require financial investments of $18 million annually. With this investment, projections show
that by 2025, the reconstruct backlog will be eliminated. Addressing the rehabilitation needs
and reconstruction backlog within the same 10-year period requires an annual funding
commitment of approximately $27 million.

SCOPE
Eugene’s street system is an extensive network of various types of traveling surfaces under
the City’s jurisdiction. In the following report, definitions of pavement types, improvement
status, and functional classifications are provided and categorized in terms of both centerline
mileage and 12’ wide lane miles.
A brief history and description of the Pavement Management System (PMS) used by the City
will be discussed. Components of PMS, such as pavement inspection frequency, pavement
conditions which are described by the Overall Condition Index (OCI), and reports produced
by PMS are addressed.
Highlighted in the report is the Pavement Preservation Program (PPP) which began in 2003.
Outlined are the typical types of preservation treatments, the current lane mile unit cost for
each treatment, what condition or OCI a project is recommended for preservation, and a
current treatment needs cost analysis is given. A table is provided detailing the current
funding sources for PPP.
For an effective preservation program, a coordinated effort is required by the Maintenance
and Engineering Divisions, therefore both roles are discussed later in the report. Preservation
project selection, interim maintenance prioritization, and ultimately project construction or
deferral for future reconstruction is discussed in additional detail. This report lists and maps a
one year proposed project list in addition to projects completed to date.
Three funding scenarios are explored through the analysis program in PMS. We look at the
current funding, an $18 million funding, and a scenario where all reconstruct projects are
rehabilitated. It is important to note the analysis routines are set up for a 10-year projection,
and at this time they are formatted for improved asphalt streets only. These analyses provide
necessary information regarding condition trends and rehabilitation needs. Utilizing current
funding the analysis gives an idea if our street system remains in the present level of
serviceability or is declining. Also, what funding level will create an improvement in our
street system and reduce the $173 million backlog.

EUGENE’S STREET INVENTORY
The City of Eugene has jurisdictional responsibility for many different types and
classifications of roads within the transportation system. Many factors such as age,
development type, traffic loads, use, and future transportation needs affect the maintenance
and rehabilitation planning for the system. The segment inventory component of the PMS
system allows a reporting of both centerline miles (intersection to intersection) and lane miles
of each segment of the system. While commonly used in reporting distance, centerline miles
do not relate equally across streets of different widths or different number of lanes. For this
report, comparisons typically are shown both in centerline and 12 foot wide lane miles unless
otherwise noted.
Improvement Status
For purposes of establishing budget allocations and rehabilitation priorities, and performing
maintenance activities based on established maintenance policies, Eugene divides the street
inventory into two distinct categories:
Improved streets are those which have been fully designed for structural adequacy, have
storm drainage facilities provided which include curbs and gutters, and have either an asphalt
concrete (AC) or a portland cement concrete (PCC) surface. Typically, these streets were
either fully improved when the area was developed and paid for by the developer, or were
improved through a local improvement district (LID) and paid for in part by the abutting
property owners. In some cases a street may have been fully improved while under State or
County jurisdiction and then surrendered to the City. Improved streets receive the highest
level of ongoing maintenance and are eligible for rehabilitation funding through Eugene's
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and Pavement Preservation Program (PPP).
Unimproved streets are those with soil, gravel, or asphalt mat surfaces which have typically
evolved to their existing state, have not been structurally designed, have few drainage
facilities, and no curbs and gutters. Unimproved streets receive a low level of ongoing
maintenance limited primarily to emergency pothole patching and minimal roadside ditch
maintenance. Unimproved Streets are not considered eligible for funding in Eugene's Capital
Improvement Program or the Pavement Preservation Program. Typically, an unimproved
street must be fully improved through a local improvement district, funded in part by the
abutting property owners before a higher level of service will be provided (see “City of
Eugene Street Maintenance Policy and Procedure Manual” for levels of maintenance service).

Functional Classifications
The quantity and associated vehicle weight of traffic using streets is a critical factor affecting
the rate at which pavement and roadbeds deteriorate. Eugene divides streets into five
categories called functional classifications (FC), each representing a different volume and
type of vehicular usage.
MAJOR ARTERIAL (FC-1) -Major Arterials are usually four or more lanes and generally
connect various parts of the region with one another within the city and with the "outside
world." They serve as major access routes to regional destinations such as downtowns,
universities, airports, and similar major focal points within the urban area. Major Arterials
typically carry an average of more than 20,000 vehicles per day. Major Arterials receive high
priority maintenance.
MINOR ARTERIAL (FC 2) -Minor Arterials are typically two or three lanes. These streets
provide the next level of urban connectivity below major arterials. In most cases their main
4
role tends to be serving intra-city mobility. Minor Arterials carry between 7,500 and 20,000
vehicles per day. Minor Arterials receive priority maintenance.
MAJOR COLLECTOR (FC-3) -Major Collectors can be found in residential, commercial,
and industrial areas. They typically carry between 2,500 and 7,500 vehicles per day. Major
Collectors have a higher priority for maintenance than local streets.
NEIGHBORHOOD COLLECTOR (FC-4) -Neighborhood Collectors are found only in
residential neighborhoods and provide a high degree of access to individual properties in a
neighborhood. They typically carry between 1,500 and 2,500 vehicles per day. Prior to the
adoption of the Eugene Arterial & Collector Street Plan in November 1999, this functional
classification designation did not exist; therefore, these streets were generally designated as
collectors.
LOCAL (FC-5) -Local streets provide access to individual properties along the roadway.
They are narrow, slow-speed, and low-volume service facilities. They typically carry fewer
than 1,500 vehicles per day, and receive low priority maintenance.

functional classes.

PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Effective evaluation of planning and funding priorities necessitate that local jurisdictions
manage their transportation infrastructure with some form of pavement management system.
Generally, the PMS provides guidance in the decision making process and is designed to
prevent pavement failures through judicious maintenance. The Pavement Management
System performs analysis and reports on the current and projected condition of the pavement
surface. The system is dependent on the annual condition inspections/surveys that are
conducted.
The PMS used by the City of Eugene since 1987 was developed by Washington's League of
Cities and Washington County Roads Administration Board (CRAB) in conjunction with the
Washington Department of Transportation (WDOT). The PMS combines visual field
inspection ratings, compiled under strict criteria, with an automated computer tracking and
condition analysis program, called CenterLine. Together these components of PMS
document current pavement condition and serviceability, and provide a basis for modeling
project financial/condition trends. Eugene's PMS contains 20 years of historical data and has
the ability to estimate financial needs and road conditions twenty years into the future.
Pavement Inspection Frequency
Two predominant work efforts required to maintain the PMS are updating the street inventory
and performing the annual inspection of surface conditions. City streets are divided into
segments based on their Functional Classification (FC), pavement type, and geometric design.
Segments are the basic unit for evaluating streets and surface conditions. A segment is
defined as a portion of a street with a beginning and ending description. Changes in
geometric features are used as a guide for determining segments. Examples of geometric
differences are surface type, segment widths, surface age, and extent of past rehabilitations.
Annual field inspections are performed on all the City's arterials and collector streets. Since
the rate of deterioration of a local street is typically less than that seen on higher classification
streets, field inspections are performed on one-third of the local streets each year which places
all local streets on a three-year inspection cycle. Field inspection is conducted by pairs of
pavement raters who walk each individual street segment evaluating the pavement for signs of
distress. Discrepancies between the ratings of the two pavement raters, or from the previous
years’ ratings are reason for the segment to be rated a second time to ensure a correct
evaluation.
Overall Condition Index (OCI), Deduct Values, and Distresses
Pavement raters walk streets evaluating the pavements for signs of distress. Distresses
occurring in streets are dependent on pavement type and are rated by extent and severity.
These values are logged on standard forms designed for the field surveys. Distresses occur in
many phases of deterioration; therefore, the predominant extent and severity is rated. The
data is then entered into CenterLine. Numerical values (deduct values) are assigned to each
distress’ extent and severity, all deduct values are summed and then subtracted from the base
value of 100 internally. The final value, designated as the overall condition index (OCI),
6
indicates the surface condition of a street segment. A street with an OCI of 100 represents a
new or recently rehabilitated street. As the condition of a street surface begins to deteriorate
the OCI decrease reflects surface deterioration. This OCI value is the basis used to analyze
the surface treatment needs of the individual segments.
Asphalt distresses typically observed are alligatoring, longitudinal and transverse cracks,
rutting, raveling, and some maintenance procedures such as crack sealing and patching.
Concrete distresses observed are cracks per panel, raveling, joint spalling, faulting, and crack

How PMS Information is Used
The primary purpose of maintaining a PMS is to collect and analyze information relating to
street system condition and trends providing Public Works Managers with vital information
which helps to ensure that the most cost effective maintenance or rehabilitation strategies are
identified and performed at the optimum time.
Each year the PMS is used to generate several reports requested by other agencies as well as
statistical data requested within our own agency. The following is a sample of reports
produced with PMS data:
Three Year Pavement Preservation Project List
Crack Seal Program
Five-Year Surface List – 5-year moratorium for street cutting

PAVEMENT PRESERVATION PROGRAM
Street preservation, capital improvements, and maintenance efforts make up the complete
Pavement Preservation Program (PPP). In this section, current cost analyses are shown and
the roles of Public Works Engineering and Maintenance Divisions are discussed. Proposed
projects for PPP are shown for 2008.
Treatment Types and Costs
Unit Costs were reviewed and updated in 2000 by Pavement Services, INC. In 2006, the
Engineering Division updated unit costs as a result of various industry sources reporting
substantial increases in construction costs. One reason for the increase was the cost of oil-
based products. Staff reviewed cost trends provided by ODOT and noted that costs for liquid
asphalt has risen over 77%, from $207/ton to $368/ton, in a nine month period. Public Works
Engineering Division compared cost trend data with the current projects completed under the
PPP program and recalculated unit costs to reflect recent price increases. After discussion
with Pavement Services, INC., the 2% inflation factor appeared to be appropriate to continue
to use once the unit costs were updated. 2007 unit costs used in the analysis are the updated
costs with the 2% inflation factor. As of the date of this report, the costs for petroleum based
products continue to climb steadily.
Based on historic and current construction costs as tracked by the Engineering Division, each
functional class has an estimated unit cost for overlay and reconstruction treatments. For
Local streets (FC-5) an additional treatment option was considered: slurry seals. The slurry
seal option allows for a cost-effective treatment for local street segments, which do not carry
high traffic loads.
Unit costs for overlay treatments are derived using historic weighted average project costs
and projected costs for rehabilitation of streets in each specific functional classification.
Typical overlay rehabilitation includes milling of existing pavement to a moderate depth to
remove existing cracking and increase strength of the structural section. Isolated areas of
severely distressed pavement is removed and replaced including a new aggregate base.
Associated costs include replacement of striping and pavement markings, adjustment of
manholes, and other work needed to return the street to normal operation.
Unit costs for reconstruction treatments are derived using historic weighted average project
costs and projected costs for reconstruction of streets in each specific functional
classification. Typical street reconstruction includes removal of the existing pavement and
base structural section and replacement with a new structural section which will meet a 20-
year design life. Isolated areas of curb and gutter are replaced where they would not be
suitable to contain new paving and/or have severe drainage problems. Associated costs
include replacement of striping and pavement markings, adjustment of manholes, and other
work needed to return the street to normal operation.
Unit costs for slurry seal treatments are derived using historic weighted average project costs
and projected costs for slurry seal of local streets. Typical slurry seal treatment includes street
cleaning, removal of vegetation, sealing of cracks, and application of an emulsified asphalt
8
aggregate mixture to the entire paved surface. Associated costs include replacement of
striping and pavement markings, and other work needed to return the street to normal
operation.

Projected Pavement Preservation Estimated Funds
(FY06-FY11)
From the beginning of the Pavement Preservation Program (PPP) an adequate funding source
has not been achieved. Currently there are several funding sources contributing to
rehabilitation and reconstruction projects. The main source is our local gas tax (5 cents per
gallon). A portion of Eugene’s gas tax initially scheduled to sunset in February 29, 2008, did
not receive support as a ballot measure. At this time the two cent additional gas tax is
considered part of the PPP funding stream. Transportation System Development Charges
(SDC) generate an average of $840,000; this funding source is expected to decrease based on
permit activity. As stated previously, funds that Lane County committed from its share of
state transportation funds ended in 2006. If these assumptions hold true, funds for PPP
projects will remain around $4.2 million per year after 2008, which is an improvement over
the $2.8 million reported last year. The following table describes the different funding sources
for our PPP program for Fiscal Years 2006 through 2013.

Assumptions:
1) Local Vehicle Fuel Tax revenues reflect five cents per gallon, assuming repeal of
sunset scheduled for February 29, 2008
2) Other includes interest, transfers from general fund, and funds from other agencies.
3) OTIA III funds ended in FY06, but final payment was received in FY07.
4) SDC revenue is predicted to decline in FY09-12 years based upon permit activity.
5) Used same assumption as in the FY08 budget document.
6) 2008 - Other includes balance of state transfer for Franklin Blvd and 6th/7th
plus STP-U for Roosevelt Blvd.
7) 2007 - Includes $100k of STP-U for Roosevelt Blvd.

Project Prioritization
Selecting streets or street segments is done through a process involving analysis, tests, and
staff experience. Eugene has a street inventory of approximately 1,343 lane miles. Using
information collected by pavement raters, a computer model forecasts pavement life and
trends. Combining this information with estimated revenues allows staff to estimate backlogs
and group potential street segments for Pavement Preservation Program (PPP) projects. To
verify street segment ratings, the Maintenance Division forwards potential project segments
to the Engineering Division who coordinates field testing.
Streets are not prioritized on a "worst first" basis. One of the main reasons for this is the
limited funds available to address Eugene’s street repair backlog. Public Works’ main
objective is to keep street segments from slipping into the reconstruction category, which
typically costs four to five times more per lane mile than rehabilitation. By rehabilitating
(overlaying) a street before it significantly deteriorates, 15 to 20 years of useful life can be
added to a street at a substantial cost savings over reconstruction. By the same token, once a
street has deteriorated to the point that it must be reconstructed, the opportunity for preventive
street maintenance (overlay) is lost. For these reasons, streets that are categorized as overlay
projects receive the highest priority for corrective treatment. If at some point in the future
there are additional funds available, or if the majority of overlay projects have been
addressed, reconstruction projects will be scheduled
.

O & M – Overview of Maintenance Roles
Maintenance Division staff from both the surface technical and operations teams are involved
in a variety of roles associated with the Pavement Preservation Program (PPP). Pavement
rating, budget and street life analysis, grouping projects, and preventative maintenance are all
components of a pavement management system that take place in the Maintenance Division.
Surface technical staff performs annual pavement rating of the City’s transportation system in
order to track current pavement conditions. Streets are placed on the PPP list when the
Overall Condition Index (OCI) indicates an overlay treatment is needed. With this
information, detailed analysis is performed to help identify current treatment needs and
forecast anticipated needs. Based on available funding, projects from the PPP list are grouped
for efficiency. Once approved by the Maintenance Director, this list is sent to the
Engineering Division for field testing to verify condition findings.
Surface operations staff maintain more than 1,343 lane miles of city streets this includes
concrete streets which are not included in the Pavement Preservation Program. Fully
improved asphalt streets receive the highest level of maintenance. Preventative maintenance
designed to extend the life of the transportation asset is of highest priority. Street
maintenance for streets identified on the PPP list will be similar to those streets with higher
OCI ratings. These streets will be swept on a regular schedule, receive skin patching when
necessary, have alligatored areas dug out and replaced, receive scheduled crack sealing, and
have base failures repaired. These maintenance activities are performed to mitigate hazardous
conditions and to extend the useful life of the street. The goal of preventative maintenance is
to prevent a street’s OCI from slipping into a reconstruction category in which corrective
treatments can run 4 to 5 times the cost of overlay projects.
PPP – Overview of Engineering’s Role
Engineering Division receives the grouped projects for preservation three years out.
Construction design and historical data are collected and reviewed, and field inspections are
performed. Final determination of needed treatment results from core tests and
recommendations by pavement consultants. Once a street is determined to be a true
reconstruct it is deferred until funding is identified and available. Reasons for reconstruct
treatment include base failure, design standards which did not anticipate current capacity, and
poor initial design standards.

FUNDING COMPARISON WITH CURRENT GAS TAX
Utilizing the PMS software, an analysis for a 10 year period beginning at the end of 2007 has
been completed based on the current funding. The PMS software evaluates the deterioration
of each segment based on the historic individual OCI ratings. The software then projects
when to apply the necessary treatment at the proper time. When possible, the system applies
a less expensive treatment earlier in the degradation curve. The established annual funding
level is applied to the treatment needs, and then the annual distribution of treatment types is
developed. If the established budget does not allow for all of the treatment needs to be met, a
remainder value (in dollars) is reported. This value is commonly called the “additional
needs” budget. A graph of the “additional needs” for the current funding level has been
provided as well as an optimum funding scenario at $18 million. Additionally, a graph
identifying a funding level necessary to prevent projects falling into reconstruct and
rehabilitating all projects currently in a reconstruct condition is included. This scenario
requires approximately $27 million. An inflation factor of 2% annually has been applied to
these forecasts. The 2% value is based on historic cost values as tracked by a published
market study (ENR).

Current analysis utilizing updated unit costs identifies that $18 million annually in road
rehabilitation is needed. This funding level preserves all streets in the low end range of the
overlay condition and prevents them falling into a reconstruct condition. With this funding
we are also able to address approximately $73 million of arterials and $5 million of collectors
already in a reconstruct condition over a 10 year period.

SUMMARY
In the last five years the Pavement Management System program has met goals and objectives
which have increased the City’s ability to maintain and improve the pavement condition of
our public road infrastructure system.
Implementation and collection of a five cent local gas tax was approved as a source for
revenue for the Pavement Preservation Program (PPP). This additional funding source
allowed for approximately 107 lane miles of streets to be rehabilitated through the Pavement
Preservation Program (PPP) administered by Public Works Engineering Division.
The current cost estimates for treatment of the improved system based on 2007 inspection
ratings and the local gas tax revenue indicate approximately a $173 million backlog at the end
of 2007. Ten years later in 2017, our backlog is $339 million. Our current revenue for
preservation is not adequate to reduce the backlog.
A funding level of $18 million will begin to reduce the backlog. With this funding level,
streets that need reconstruction will begin to be targeted and residential streets (the largest
portion of Eugene’s street network) will receive treatment. A funding level of $27 million is
needed to eliminate the backlog of reconstruction needs over a ten year period.

DRAFT - RESOLUTION
A RESOLUTION CALLING A CITY ELECTION ON NOVEMBER 4, 2008
FOR THE PURPOSE OF REFERRING TO THE LEGAL ELECTORS OF
THE CITY OF EUGENE A MEASURE AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE
OF A MAXIMUM OF $81,100,000 OF GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS
TO FUND STREET PRESERVATION PROJECTS.
The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that:
A.
Using the City’s current 5-cent per gallon local gas tax and other dedicated
pavement preservation funding, the City has completed nearly $16.5 million in street
maintenance and preservation work since 2003, with additional contracts in progress. During
2007, more than 17.4 lane miles of slurry seal projects and 20.5 lane miles of rehabilitation
th
projects were completed, including the overlay of portions of 18 Avenue, Chambers Street and
Bailey Hill Road. Projects in 2008 include portions of 27th Avenue, Barger Drive, Chambers
Street and Roosevelt Boulevard.
B.
The amount of funding for street maintenance and reconstruction has been
insufficient to keep up with deteriorating street conditions. The backlog of needed repair work
continues to grow in the face of rapidly rising construction costs and is currently $173 million.
Streets that have failed to the point of reconstruction create safety problems, cause vehicle repair
problems, make walking, biking or driving on the streets uncomfortable, interfere with economic
activity and diminish the quality of life.
C.
In order to address the funding shortfalls within the City’s street preservation
program, the City Council determined that a General Obligation Bond measure generating
approximately $6.5 million in net revenues annually should be referred to voters. Of that
amount, the Council determined that $350,000 should be allocated each year for off-street bike
and pedestrian path preservation.
D.
A general obligation bond measure of $81.1 million of would fund certain street
preservation projects over a period of 10 years. The $81.1 million figure accounts for $6.5
million per year for ten years at an inflation factor of 4.8%. The measure would fix more than
180 lane miles of roads and more than 7 miles of off-street bike and pedestrian paths.
E.
The measure is expected to cost an average of $0.62 per $1000 of assessed value
each year for ten years. For an average home value in Eugene, this would be about $109 per
year.
F.
The bond proceeds will be used to overlay or reconstruct the driving surface of
streets, as well as to preserve existing integral elements of the street such as curbs, gutters,
Resolution - 1
sidewalks, on-street bike lanes, traffic signals, street lights, medians, traffic calming devices, and
other integral parts of the street system. These efforts will be undertaken only to preserve
existing elements, not to expand the capacity of the street system. In addition, the City will
annually allocate not less than $350,000 of the bond proceeds to fund the overlay and
reconstruction of existing off-street bicycle and pedestrian paths.
G.
A list of projects that the City expects to complete using the bond proceeds is
attached as Exhibit A to this Resolution. The criteria for choosing these projects included: a)
citizen input with respect to prioritizing major streets in need of reconstruction; b) scientific
information about needed street preservation from the pavement management system; and c)
geographic distribution of projects throughout the community to ensure all areas of the City
receive a benefit from the bond proceeds.
H.
Over the life of the bond measure, pavement conditions or circumstances could
change making it more prudent or cost-effective to spend funds on projects not anticipated at this
time. In order to address changing circumstances, the City Manager will create a standing Street
Preservation Advisory Committee to make recommendations to staff about the prioritization of
projects to be undertaken with bond proceeds. The members of the Committee will be appointed
by the City Manager and include a variety of stakeholders from various geographic areas of the
City as well as members with expertise in road maintenance activities. City staff will take the
recommendation of the Committee into account when preparing the annual street preservation
project list. The City Manager will consult with the Committee before directing staff to
undertake a pavement preservation project not included in the list attached as Exhibit A of this
resolution.
I.
In order to promote accountability in the use of bond proceeds, the City Manager
will contract with an outside auditor to prepare a written report on the use of the bond proceeds
on a regular basis. The auditor will ascertain and report on whether the bond proceeds were used
for the authorized purposes and in compliance with the restrictions set forth above. The City
Manager will provide the report to the Council and the Street Preservation Advisory Committee
and make the report publicly available.
NOW, THEREFORE, based upon the above findings,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EUGENE, a
Municipal Corporation of the State of Oregon, as follows:
Section 1.
A City election is called for the purpose of submitting to the qualified electors
of the City a measure authorizing the issuance of a maximum of $81,100,000 of General
Obligation bonds to fund preservation of streets and off-street bike and pedestrian paths.
Section 2.
The City Council orders this City election to be held in the City of Eugene,
th

Section 3.
The City Recorder is directed to give not less than ten days’ notice of the City
election by publication of one notice in the Register Guard, a newspaper published in the City
and of general circulation within the City.

used only for costs related to preservation of streets and off-street bike and pedestrian paths, and
payment of bond issuance costs. Street preservation projects will be limited to projects included
in Exhibit A to this resolution unless the City Manager directs otherwise. In addition, not less
than $350,000 of the proceeds from the sale of the bonds will be allocated annually to fund
preservation of existing off-street bicycle and pedestrian paths.
