Severity Workshop 2018-2019 LCDBG Applications Jeff Tessier Engineer – Office of Community Development All applications are rated for severity on a 50 point scale. Water, Sewer, & Streets
We have teams (at least 2 people) that ride the streets. What do we look for? CRACKING: transverse, longitudinal, shrinkage, fatigue, reflection, edge DISTORTION: rutting, corrugations, shoving, depressions, upheaval DISINTEGRATION: potholes, patch deterioration, raveling Light: 1 - 5; Moderately light: 6 - 10; Moderate: 11 - 15; Moderately severe: 16 - 20; Severe: 21 - 25 Total Field Score 100 (the divided by 2 to get Severity) Overall Ride Quality
