2025-26 Pavement Evaluation Services

The City of San Bruno is seeking services to conduct a comprehensive pavement evaluation across multiple street segments, involving core sample collection, potholing, and deflection testing to accurately assess the structural integrity of roadways. This initiative aims to distinguish between streets that are truly structurally failed and those that only appear failed due to superficial condition assessments, enabling data-driven decisions about pavement rehabilitation. The findings will provide a clear, technical basis for identifying which roads require immediate attention versus those that can be deferred, improving the accuracy of future capital budgeting and ensuring resources are allocated to the most critical needs. Upon completion of the evaluation, the city will receive detailed designs and recommendations that support the implementation of more cost-effective repaving treatments for streets identified as failed or near-failed. This process will enhance the efficiency of the city’s pavement management program by replacing subjective visual inspections with objective engineering data, ultimately leading to faster response times for high-priority repairs and longer-term savings through better-informed project planning. The contract is forecasted for the 2025-26 fiscal period, with Calvin Iwan, Assistant Engineer, serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries.
