From page 1...
... 1   Pavement preservation is broadly acknowledged to provide network-wide benefits such as extending pavement life, enhancing system performance, reducing operation and maintenance costs, and improving safety. However, the performance of each pavement preservation project hinges on many factors, including good project and treatment selection, weather during or immediately after construction, skill of the construction crew placing the treatment, and compatibility and quality of materials used on the job.
From page 2...
... 2 Maintenance and Surface Preparation Activities Prior to Pavement Preservation Treatments Agencies identify the need for maintenance and surface preparation prior to pavement preservation both at the local level (e.g., by district maintenance staff) and at the central office.
From page 3...
... Summary 3   would include the consistent vocabulary of preservation and maintenance treatments, route identification locations, work type identified, performed work amount, and needs identified but left undone. • Guidance on how pavement management systems can model preservation treatment performance based on the type and amount of preliminary maintenance and surface preparation work would help agencies assess the performance effects and cost-effectiveness of various pavement actions.
