EXHIBIT 2 City of Santa Ana, CA Page 4 2026 Citywide Pavement Management Plan - OCTA Submittal Final Report-March 16, 2026 III. BACKGROUND (CITY OF SANTA ANA) In late 1990, voters throughout Orange County approved a %-cent sales tax for transportation improvements known as OC Measure M2. Funding for streets and roads are included within the sales tax and are distributed to local agencies through both formula and a competitive method. In late 2006, the renewal of OC Measure M2 was approved by voters that would continue the %-cent sales tax for thirty additional years, starting in 2011. The primary of goal of this report is to comply with established guidelines from OCTA to ensure that field data collection and reporting efforts performed by outside consultants or local agency staff are consistent. This is required in order that funding allocations can be reviewed and based on agency comparable pavement conditions. Specifically, our findings and recommendations provide Public Works administrators, managers and field personnel with: * PMP report consistent with OCTA OC Measure M2 guidelines * the present condition status of the pavement network (arterial, collector, residential and industrial streets), as a whole and of any grouping or individual component within the City; * a ranked list of all streets, or segments of streets, by condition within the network; * rehabilitation/maintenance needs of each street segment by year; * an optimized priority maintenance and rehabilitation program based on cost/benefit analysis and various levels of funding; * optimum annual pavement expenditure levels for pavement maintenance for the next seven (7)years; * prediction of the life-cycle performance of the City's pavement network and each individual street section; and * pavement condition data and analysis presented in GIS through MyRoads® and ESRI ArcGIS Pavement is a dynamic structure where deterioration is constantly occurring; thus the pavement management system needs to be updated on a regular basis to reflect these changes in pavement conditions, pavement maintenance histories, and maintenance strategies based upon budgetary constraints. This report reflects our findings and recommendations for the PMP and the current state of the City's pavement network. Furthermore, we have recommended detailed funding and maintenance strategies for the arterial/collector and residential networks for next seven (7)years. Currently, based upon the City's maintenance practices and their associated unit costs, the total replacement value of the Santa Ana pavement network is $3,299,050,200. This value clearly indicates that the City's pavement network is the most valuable and essential asset to Santa Ana. The City's use of slurry seal,AC Overlay and R&R practices are typically applied every seven years depending on the street conditions. These frequencies are typical but the City may see increases in deterioration rates due to environmental, load and high average daily traffic (ADT)volumes. For example, high ADT volumes along one of Santa Ana's arterial streets will increase deterioration rates for a previously applied AC Overlay compared to a small local street. These deterioration rates are monitored through frequent inspections and functional class deterioration analysis within the City's PMP database.
