Scope of Services
We have defined a detailed scope of work in accordance to the City's goals;
1. Project Implementation
2. Client Satisfaction
3. Project Schedule
4. Scope of Work(Major Tasks)
5. Optional Tasks (PMP Training/On-Call Services/Automated Digital Imaging Survey)
1) Project Implementation
TASK 1.1: Project Kickoff
The first step in updating a successful pavement management program truly resides in
frequent communication and timely scheduled data updates. For the City of Rancho
Palos Verdes (RPV) it will be essential to establish, up front, the Public Work and
Maintenance department PMP priorities. Our team will set a Project Kickoff meeting to
further discuss and review in detail the expectations of the project, technical approach,
finalization of the scope of work and the review of schedule and budget.
This effort will build consensus between the Maintenance and Public Works
departments as well as build stronger ARTERIAL and RESIDENTIAL maintenance
programs. Our staff already has the necessary data pertaining to the City's street
rankings and maintenance zones. If changes have been made to this data, we will
incorporate the changes within the RPV MicroPAVER database.
The first key topics to be discussed will include the review and assessment of the
existing MicroPAVER pavement plan/data, Los Angeles County MTA (METRO)
compliance, and survey areas based on recent maintenance work and schedules, new
construction, data quality and condition, current pavement procedures, historical -
expenditure levels,and desired service levels.
Deliverable: Meeting minutes,revised project schedule(if necessary)
TASK 1.2: Project Status Meetings - Quality Control Program
Status Meetings and Progress Reports
• Minimum of three meetings during the project (kickoff, field, and status
meetings)
• Field review meetings
• Monthly progress status reports will be delivered to City project manager
-{ ► r ' ' 1-1
Exhibit B
Scope of Work
Quality Control(QC)
We will use a statistical sampling approach for measuring the quality of our field
technician's work. In this manner, 10 percent(14.2 miles)of the original surveys will be
re-surveyed by an independent survey crew, supervised by a field supervisor, and the
results will be compared to the original surveys.
Our QC process involves checking the field crews' work in a "blind study" fashion.
Quality control checks will be performed at the end of each survey week. This will
ensure that all field personnel are properly collecting distresses and pavement
quantities for all street segments. Since we are collecting distress information on our
field Tablets with the RPV MicroPAVER database live, our staff will perform several
quality control tests within the pavement management software using a sample set of
the City of RPV's street distress data. This will ensure that all system and analysis
settings as well as City recommendations and standards are being followed.
Registered Engineer
Mr. Steve Bucknam, P.E. will supervise all operations, review all completed data and
prepare and sign a final report incorporating the results of our pavement evaluation and
conditions. We will provide engineered recommendations for pavement rehabilitation
and replacement design based upon field data and analysis.

Scope of Work
4) Scope of Work (Major Tasks)
TASK 4.1: Update Maintenance and Rehabilitation Activities
Based on the pavement maintenance that has been performed by in-house staff as well as
contractual maintenance, our staff will review all street and alley activities that have been
performed since the last update (Willdan 2009). This data will be entered into MicroPAVER to
enhance the recommendations for the upcoming budgetary analysis and CIP reporting.
It is our understanding that the City does not currently have the 2009 MicroPAVER database
available; we will assist the City in the effort to retrieve this database; if this database is not
available Bucknam will reproduce all pavement segmentation and historical work history events.
Deliverable: Citywide Work History Report
TASK 4.2: Conduct Pavement Condition Survey
Once the pavement segmentation has been assessed and verified, the inspection of
approximately 142 miles of residential streets will be performed). Our survey methodologies
will include one of the following approaches based on the City's cost and benefit analysis:
1. Windshield/Walking jStandard) based MicroPAVER survey (performed on Tablets live in
the field); our staff will establish all inspection sample locations for survey based on
MicroPAVER guidelines.
2. Automated Digital Roadway Imaging survey (see
Optional Task 5.3); Bucknam has recently performed
this service for the cities of Fountain Valley, Cypress, ,J
RSM, Santa Ana, La Habra Heights, National City and
Palm Desert for PMP and ROW inspections. MicroPAVER
sampling method used.
Distress types will be collected based upon actual surface
conditions and physical characteristics of the segment.
Surveying methods will be conducted by remaining consistent
with MicroPAVER & the Army Corp of Engineers sampling
guidelines while being flexible to current City practices.
Through our windshield surveys, we use a mixture of windshield and walking surveys based on
the functional classification of the roadway and the street conditions found. We will use the
City's GIS centerline live in the field to reduce survey times and project schedules. If the City has
a recent high-resolution aerial (approx. 3") we will use this file during our field survey efforts to
verify street measurements and other segment attributes.
Our use of MicroPAVER-Tablet units allows our staff to collect pavement data with the City of
RPV's MicroPAVER database live in the field. At the end of the day all electronic data is
transferred to our office for quality control and management. Our Tablet methodology sets us
apart from the competition since we are using a paper-less inventory process to enter data;
this in turn generates cost savings to enhance other portions of the project such as CIP
reporting, MicroPAVER training, and on-call services.

Scope of Work
Roadway Verification Survey-A listing of the field attribute data that is updated/verified during
the survey for the pavement management database is listed below:
1.Field Attribute Data(updated and/or verified)
❖ From/to, indicating the assigned limits of the section, sample test areas, street
name, a street codification(i.e.truck route,school zone, maintenance district)
❖ Street ranking indicating local,alley, arterial,collector,#of lanes,surface type
❖ Historical PCI tracking from previous inspections and 2013 PCI inspections
❖ Segment quantities, indicating the length, width, and total true area of the
section
❖ Structural sections (if available from previous reports or City documents)
2.Conditional data will be evaluated for all street segments and will include:
❖ MicroPAVER 20 AC& 19 PCC distresses by type,severity and sample area
❖ PCI ratings(0-100),taking into account the surface condition, level of distress
❖ Drainage Condition Rating(standing water,etc.)
We welcome staff members from the City of RPV to join our surveys. All pavement data
will be entered into the City's most current licensed software(version 6.5). All items listed
above will be maintained by our staff for the duration of this project. Data management
will be performed in-house at our Laguna Niguel office. At the completion of the project,
the MicroPAVER database will be placed within your information services/communication
network.
3.Section Distress and PCI Reporting
Once inspections are completed,we will generate a draft Pavement Condition Index (PCI)
Report for City staff to review. The City and our staff will review these reports to ensure
that all inventory data is correct and the project is running smoothly.
Our submittal will include:
1. Street centerline miles, lane miles,and pavement area
a. Reported as an entire network
b. Reported by functional classification (arterial,collector, local)

Deliverable: Citywide draft PCI report,quality control reports
TASK 4.3: Mapping and GIS Update
As an enhancement and proactive approach to this project, our staff will update the existing
Pavement-GIS link between MicroPAVER and the City's GIS system. The City's centerline will be
used as the platform for updating a unique pavement-GIS layer.
Once the City has approved the Pavement Condition Report, we will develop the necessary
MicroPAVER-GIS linkages. By using the unique ID's within the PMP and the City's GIS street
segment ID's, we will create a one-to-one match for each pavement section in the GIS. As new
pavement inspections and edits are entered into the PMP the link that we have created will
display the most current PMP data through the City's GIS.
The maps described below will be incorporated into the City's Final PMP report:
❖ PCI values for every section
•'• Work History identifications
❖ Multi-yr Arterial/Residential Rehabilitation and Slurry Seal Programs
••• Functional classification maps
Deliverable: Complete GIS files/themes based on list above(shapefiles).
DEVELOP RECOMMENDED MASTER PLAN OF STREETS
TASK 4.4: Preparation of Multi-yr Pavement CIP
With the City desiring to update and develop a comprehensive multi-year Pavement CIP
internally, our staff will review all pavement treatments that were recommended in the 2009
reporting as well as current 2013 applications. Through our experience in developing numerous
pavement CIP reports on a yearly basis, we will support city staff through each essential phase
of the development of the CIP. These services will include:
❖ Review and determination of maintenance strategies
+ Review of grant applications and status
❖ Analysis of alternative pavement materials and applications for possible use by the City in
upcoming years
❖ Assistance with METRO Pavement Compliance reporting
of P, ri 1-6
Exhibit B
Scope of Work — 41111
We will assist the City by preparing the report in a format that uses the information found in the
PCI reports in conjunction with the information and analyses performed by our team. The
report will include:
❖ Current inventory and pavement conditions indices (PCI)shown in tabular and GIS layouts
for all road classes and surface types(pavement condition report, priority listings)
❖ Assessment of current unit costs for materials and application of asphalt treatments as
well as future costs over the five-year program.
❖ Projected annual repair/rehabilitation programs for street maintenance, for each street,
for a defined CIP term (Pavement CIP report) that demonstrates the greatest return on
investment
❖ Three options will be included in the CIP report,they typically include:
• #1—Model current"actual"funding against found 2013 conditions
• #2 — Model a recommended report that proactively increases the City's weighted
PCI and lowers backlog of maintenance
• #3 — Model a constrained budget to demonstrate the impacts of reducing CIP and
maintenance funding
❖ Identification of potential funding sources for the street rehabilitation projects.
❖ Recommendations for each section and/or neighborhood zones will be identified that will
include maintenance type,estimated cost to complete and encumbered inflation.
❖ A distinct and separate section will identify the City's annual slurry seal program that will
cover yearly priority recommendations, neighborhood programs and annual estimated
costs
❖ A detailed breakdown of deferred maintenance (backlog) which will allow the City to
measure and understand its impact to current and future capital projects
Deliverable: We will submit three copies (one original) of the Draft Master Plan of Streets
Report, in binder form, to be reviewed by the City. Three (3) copies of the Final Pavement
Management Program Report will be delivered to the City once all comments and reviews are
completed. Digital copies of the report will also be delivered for the City convenience.

TASK 5.1: Pavement Field& Software Training
We will provide City staff with the quality, certified training and necessary skills needed to
steward and maintain the PMP. This will include operation manuals for both field data
collection and software use. Peter Bucknam, who is certified in the use of MicroPAVER, will
conduct comprehensive multi-day training sessions covering segmentation management,
reporting, and editing/updating the database. This is estimated to consist of a minimum of 12
hours of training. There is no minimum or maximum amount of people that can be trained
under this methodology.
Bucknam will provide training in the AC and PCC pavement field survey techniques. Engineering,
Street Maintenance and GIS staff will have a clear understanding of how the system is
developed and data recorded. City staff will be versed in the proper procedures for field data
collection, thereby ensuring the ability of the City to repeat the pavement survey on its own
when the need arises.
At the completion of the training,the City will be able to update each individual portions of the
dataset as maintenance and future inspection are completed.The training will include:
❖ General MicroPAVER use
❖ Annual data entry needs, reporting requests and deterioration modeling
❖ Annual budget projection reports—PCI report generation
❖ Update of maintenance costs, strategy assignments, engineering data, and
deterioration curves;interpretation and utilization of management reports)
❖ Querying, managing and plotting from PMP—GIS mapping
Deliverable: Training materials used in workshops,field survey forms
TASK 5.2: On-Call Services
Pavement Management Program Support
Bucknam will provide annual support for a period of two years where we will provide quality
and accurate use of the in-house operation of MicroPAVER software. Once the City has
approved the Pavement Condition Index Report under this years work effort, this service will
become active. Our typical On-Call services include:

support for the City staff.
TASK 5.3: Automated Digital Roadway Imaging
Through our previous PMP project with the City in
2008, City staff was introduced to our automated
pavement survey methodologies. As an alternative
survey methodology, our staff will implement a
pavement survey methodology that will support Task
4.2 efforts as well as implement a proactive and cost
efficient GPS survey methodology that will allow for ��� jam*
i
the collection of numerous GPS locations using "one"
set of digital imagery (e.g. five citywide infrastructure 1111 1111111ibtAL
.#
surveys for the cost of one).
Beyond the pavement survey capabilities, the City will
be able to collect other infrastructure assets in the future such as signs, driveways, catch
basins and other ROW features; a tremendous costs savings that reaches $300,000 over the
next 3 years.
With verification of street segmentation, the inspection of approximately 70 residential miles
will be surveyed. MicroPAVER - Army Corp of Engineers AC and PCC distress types will be
collected based upon actual surface conditions and physical characteristics of the segment while
being flexible to current City practices.
Our automated digital imaging allows technician to collect the following:
• Continuous pavement imaging (images taken • �-�--- �-- -(/� }S

The quality of the imagery and its GIS / record
collecting capabilities within the software provided
allows the technician to accurately identify the
required pavement distresses defined by the
pavement software and the project (distresses are
collected in-house). All pavement GIS data associated with each pavement section will be
entered into the City's working software.
Survey vehicles are equipped with digital measuring instrumentation (DMI) that will be used to
verify all pavement section lengths and widths. Our vehicles can be equipped with road
roughness rating equipment, strip mapping cameras and are set to record 360 degree street
imaging.
The survey will be performed by the Bucknam team that is experienced and trained in pavement
condition assessment using LambdaTech's "Feature Extraction" software. Bucknam will
measure specific distress types from the digital image set. A listing of the field attributes that
will be collected during the survey is listed above in Task 4.2.
