In October 2001, VMS, Inc., was awarded a 5-year highway asset management contract with the Miami-Dade Expressway (MDX) Authority. The contract calls for the routine maintenance of approximately 32 centerline miles of roadway and associated roadway features on five major expressways in the Miami metropolitan area--State Routes 112, 836, 874, 878, and 924--beginning in July 2002. As part of the MDX project, VMS was asked to monitor and report the quality of its maintenance using an expanded version of the Florida Department of Transportation's maintenance rating program (MRP). Through the work of one of its consultants, VMS replaced the pass-fail field rating approach of the Florida MRP with a 1-to-5 scale field rating system acceptable to the Authority. This expanded MRP applies to the same 36 roadway features included in the Florida MRP, and it likewise produces rolled-up, 0-to-100 scale management-level ratings. Its advantage over the Florida MRP is a more accurate and definitive account of the levels of maintenance quality being provided to each feature. Trial use of the expanded MRP on the MDX project occurred in February 2002, whereby a trained, independent 2-person team evaluated features at 30 randomly selected 0.1-mile roadway segments. A baseline survey to establish the existing condition of the roadway (prior to VMS taking over maintenance responsibilities) was performed in June 2002 and a second formal evaluation was performed in October 2002. This paper discusses the development of the expanded Florida MRP and its implementation and use in VMS's MDX asset management project.
