Pavement Condition Assessment (PCI Survey)

The City of San Diego has issued a subcontract to conduct a comprehensive citywide Pavement Condition Index (PCI) assessment using standardized industry methods to evaluate the condition of its road surfaces. This assessment will generate consistent, data-driven insights to guide future maintenance scheduling, prioritize repair projects, and support strategic funding allocation for infrastructure improvements. The work is required to cover all public roadways within the city limits, ensuring a complete and accurate representation of pavement health across the urban landscape. The contract falls under NAICS code 541330 for engineering services and was posted on June 16, 2026, with performance expected to take place entirely within San Diego. The assessment will rely on established protocols to ensure repeatability and comparability of results over time, enabling the city to track pavement deterioration trends and measure the effectiveness of past maintenance efforts. Outcomes from this survey will directly influence long-term transportation planning and budgeting decisions, making the data critical to sustaining the city’s infrastructure network.
