Review of Key Freight Route Corridor Data Collection 
For Valley Cities -2/11/13 
Comparison System data and Pavement Condition of 2013 to 2005 System data: 
During 2013 we attempted to collect the following data: PCI, Estimated Cost, and Annual
Tonnage of each route. Several cities did not have data for tonnage and several cities did not
provide updates since the improvements to their system were insignificant since 2005. For
those cities we are mapping the Pavement condition index (PCI) from 2005 but using current
bid prices to reflect current estimated cost to obtain a sustainable system. Where cities
submitted individual estimates we used those in updating costs estimates. 
The overall system PCI has continued to decline since 2005. 
Another way of thinking about the deterioration of the system would be to consider that
between 2005 to 2007 world oil prices fluctuated between $40 to $80/bbl. As we entered the
recession in 2008 until 2009 Oil prices spiked to $160/bbl in 2008 then fell all the way down to
$35/bbl in 2009. Since 2009 Oil prices during the recovery have been on a steady climb now
averaging in 2011-2012 around $80 TO $115/bbl. 
Since 2005 when we performed the initial System rating world oil prices are now about 200%
higher. While our current bidding climate is still very competitive, it would appear that we will
need to adjust for higher oil prices as the nation recovers . O ur system wide needs will be
considerably higher than what we are estimating today with current market prices. Inflating the
total of $127,896,900 by a 10 Year 3% per annum factor would indicate we will need about
$172,000,000 to bring the system back to a sustainable condition.

Notes: For the 2013 data collection we asked all cities to report only those Key Corridor Routes
that carry substantial Freight traffic to & from the Ports of Tacoma and Seattle. 
1: The 2005 Report included arterials that were not Key corridor routes. The 2013 Report
removed these routes & SR 164 where the State is responsible for pavement condition. 
2: Cities removed all State Routes from the 2013 report, since the State is responsible for
pavement.
