Repair the cause where possible—not only the visible hole.

Potholes, cracking, rutting, settlement, and failed edges can reflect different combinations of water, traffic, base condition, construction details, and maintenance history.

Planning sequence

Four areas to define clearly

Document hazards

Mark locations, size, depth, traffic exposure, trip risks, standing water, loose material, and changes over time.

Identify contributing conditions

Ask about drainage, base, pavement thickness, joints, edges, utilities, loading, freeze-thaw exposure, and earlier repairs.

Match repair depth to condition

A proposal should distinguish crack treatment, surface patching, partial-depth work, full-depth repair, and broader replacement.

Protect the completed work

Coordinate traffic control, weather, compaction, cure or cooling, edge sealing, drainage corrections, and reopening.

Proposal checklist

Questions before awarding the work

1Is this temporary safety work or a long-term repair?
2What evidence supports the repair area and depth?
3How are loose material, failed base, water, edges, and utility settlement handled?
4Which materials, lifts, compaction, joints, sealants, and tie-ins are specified?
5What traffic control, access, cleanup, and reopening plan is included?
6What warranty, exclusions, maintenance, and broader future work should be expected?
