In November 2011, the Beaumont City Council
awarded a contract to IMS Infrastructure Management Services, LLc (IMS)
of Tempe, Arizona to assess the condition of our street infrastructure. In January of 2012, IMS started their work. IMS
utilized a specialized van to travel each lane of roadway to acquire
data for the study. Included in the acquired data were ways to measure
the surface distress and roughness of the road. The project was
substantially completed in July 2013. The graph and spreadsheet
below are a way to interpret the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) score for each
segment of road maintained in the City.

Understand the Pavement Condition Score
The following illustration compares Pavement
Condition Index (PCI) to commonly used descriptive terms. The divisions
between the terms are not fixed, but are meant to reflect common
perceptions of condition.
The general idea of what these condition levels mean with respect to
remaining life and typical rehabilitation action is included in the
following table:
