Sebastian approves three-year pavement plan; city targets 8.18 center lane miles
Summary
The council approved a pavement-management plan based on a PMG PCI assessment, allocating funds to pave roughly 8.18 center lane miles over FY25–26 with an estimated overlay cost of $1.7 million and noting a current PCI of 68 (down from 72 in 2022).
The Sebastian City Council unanimously approved a pavement-management plan informed by a Pavement Management Group (PMG) report that showed the city's Pavement Condition Index (PCI) at 68, a drop from 72 in the prior assessment.
Lee Plourde, public works director, presented the PMG dashboard and recommended treatment bands by PCI score, explaining that 31% of streets are in good condition, 43% fair and 10% poor. He described recommended fixes — microsurfacing for mid-range PCI, mill-and-overlay for moderately degraded roads, and full-depth reclamation for failed roadways — and noted that deferred work in 2022–23 caused part of the decline.
Plourde said the city is scheduled to pave 8.18 center lane miles in FY25–26 and that the overlay contract to cover that scope is estimated at $1,700,000. He also said roughly $650,000 in preservation work had been completed to date and that the city had encumbered about $500,000 for swell work and $174,000 for driveways. Plourde told council that after the planned paving, the overall PCI would be expected to approach 70 percent.
Council member Dodd moved to approve the PMG report and associated paving program, and Council member Nunn seconded. After brief discussion about miles and cost, the council voted unanimously to adopt the plan and authorize work consistent with the FY25–26 schedule.
The plan includes public-facing dashboard access so residents can view PCI ratings by neighborhood and will guide year-by-year preservation and resurfacing priorities as funding allows.
