EXHIBIT "A"
SCOPE OF SERVICES
I. Brief description of the work to be performed: Update the City's Pavement Management
Program (PMP) through condition surveys, engineering cost evaluation, budgetary
reporting and data updates within the MicroPAVER database. Field inspections will cover
all defined streets and alleys within the network.
II.Consultant will perform the following Tasks:
A. Project Kick-off to further discuss and review in detail the expectations of the project,
technical approach, section ID / GIS management & surveys, district/quadrant
maintenance, software upgrades& use, deliverables within the scope of work and the
review of schedule. The first key topics to be discussed will include the review and
assessment of the existing CarteGraph pavement plan/data; its current and future use,
survey areas based on recent maintenance work and schedules, new construction, data
quality and condition, current pavement procedures, historical expenditure levels,
possible MicroPAVER or Street Saver conversion, implementation and desired service
levels.
B. Project Status Meetings will include a minimum of four meetings during the project
(kickoff, field, and status meetings-30%,65%and 100%),Field review meetings, and
monthly progress status reports will be delivered to Contract Officer.
C. Project Deliverables will include communication with the Contract Officer and key
staff members from the Engineering and Public Works departments to ensure
deliverables are submitted timely. These include items in Exhibit A.M.A. —A.IH.S.
D. Work Flow/Project Schedule will be created with a completed survey to establish a
PMP that provides specific, manageable pavement segments, detailed maintenance
schedules of needed repairs and cost conscious maintenance recommendations that will
assist in preparing budget estimates required to complete the scheduled work for fiscal
year 2016-17 and the next 20 years.
E. Assessment of MicroPAVER GIS ID Link to be completed by entering the necessary
work history updates into the PMP database. If the Contract Officer elects to have the
software managed by Bucknam offsite; Bucknam will ensure that all identified work
history records are properly updated within MicroPAVER or StreetSaver.
F. Pavement Work History Data Entry will be completed with one of two approaches
for the updating of RPV's PMP software;
(a)Use MicroPAVER's pavement software to track and monitor pavement
conditions and deterioration. Bucknam will assess and ensure that all
pavement segmentation, public vs. private designations, section metrics
and GIS links are of quality and useful to the long-term management of
the PMP. If the capabilities of the MicroPAVER pavement software are
not sufficient for future PMP management Bucknam will recommend
the implementation of StreetSaver;
(b) Bucknam will meet with City staff to discuss the conversion of
MicroPAVER data into StreetSaver. Bucknam will utilize their own
MicroPAVER or StreetSaver license to perform all PMP services under
this project (Note: if StreetSaver is selected, a license copy will have to
be purchased based upon current MTC StreetSaver license agreements).
Bucknam will provide the Contract Officer with a 10% PCI variance
report and summary segmentation report to demonstrate that all
conversion is progressing and is accurate. With the Contract Officer's
approval, complete the remaining 90%. StreetSaver software internal
table data and outputs (i.e. PCI reporting, Sec ID, attribute PMP data,
etc.)will be delivered in a manner that will allow for pertinent PMP data
to operate within the City's GIS Enterprise. Bucknam staff will meet with
RPV Public Works, IT and GIS staff to ensure that a full assessment of
the City's existing infrastructure management data structure is
understood and compliant for future PMP data interoperability.
G. Arterial and Local Street Survey of approximately 149 miles of Arterial, Local and
Alley streets will be performed by one of the following approaches based on the ASTM
D6433-11 guidelines:
1. Walking - all sections are surveyed through walking methodologies.
Distress types will be collected based upon actual surface conditions and
physical characteristics of the segment. Sample locations, distress types,
extents and severities will be collected based upon actual surface conditions
and physical characteristics of the segment. Surveying methods will be
conducted by remaining consistent with ASTM D6433 sampling guidelines
while being flexible to current City practices. Live GIS files will be used to
enhance field survey locations, data access and quality control measures.
All sample locations are observed through walking surveys; additional
unique conditional factors such as unique distress areas found outside our
sample areas will be recorded. Walking surveys will be done based on the
functional classification of the roadway and the street conditions found.
Will use City's GIS centerline/PMP layer live in the field to reduce survey
times and project schedules. If the City has a recent high-resolution aerial
(approx. 3"),then will use that file during field survey efforts to verify street
measurements and other segment attributes.
2. Automated Digital Roadway Imaging - will establish all inspection sample
locations for survey based on ASTM D6433 guidelines; Surveys are quality
controlled with field operations.
3. 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:
(a) Field Attribute Data (updated and/or verified)
i. 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)
ii. Street ranking indicating local, alley, arterial, collector, #of
lanes, surface type
iii. Street segmentation implemented continuously from west to
east and south to north
iv. Historical PCI tracking from previous inspections and 2016 PCI
inspections
v. Segment quantities, indicating the length, width, and total true
area of the section
vi. Sidewalk and Curb and Gutter displacements (See Task 4.3)
vii. ADA Required Ramp Locations (See Task 4.3)
viii. Structural sections (if available from previous reports or City
documents)
(b) Conditional data will be evaluated for all street segments and will
include:
i. 20 AC & 19 PCC distresses by type, severity and sample area
ii. PCI ratings (0-100), taking into account the surface condition,
level of distress
iii. Drainage Condition Rating (standing water, etc.)
iv. Traffic volumes (ADT, if available)
(c) Section Distress and PCI Reporting
i. PCI Variance report comparing 2013 PCI's to 2016 PCI's
ii. Street centerline miles, lane miles, and pavement area
iii. Current street network Pavement Condition Index ratings
iv. Pavement segment tabular listing for the entire street network
v. Creation of pavement performance curves and definitions for
maintenance strategies, decision tree models and pavement
life-cycle analysis
vi. PCI report will be signed and sealed by registered engineer.
H. Establishment of Sidewalk Inspection Criteria will be created by collecting sidewalk
inventory and distress data through the use of handheld GPS units. Sidewalks will
categorized in a priority system for maintenance similar to the following:
1. Priority 1 -(Very Poor),Locations that have a condition of Very Poor or any
location which the field technician considers to be an immediate serious
safety concern
2. Priority 2 -(Poor to Fair), Locations that have a condition of Poor to Fair of
where the field technician determines that a problem is not an immediate
safety concern
3. Priority 3 - (Fair to Good), Locations that have a condition of Fair to Good
or where the problem is not a safety hazard
I. Development of Sidewalk Management Database by creating user defined fields to
populate the required inventory and distress data established for the project. Based on
the Contract Officer's needs, all sidewalk GIS data can then be imported into other
management software, such as MicroPAVER, Excel, etc.
J. Perform Sidewalk / Curb & Gutter inspections of approximately 280 miles of
sidewalk segments using the following survey methodology approach:
1. Walking/GPS Handheld - All sections will be surveyed utilizing a
walking/GPS methodology. Distress locations and types will be collected
based upon actual surface conditions found and physical characteristics of
the site. Surveying will identify distress locations of sidewalk by GPS
coordinates.
2. Sidewalk Verification Survey - A listing of the field attribute data that is
verified for each distressed site is listed below:
(a) Field Attribute Data
i. Street Name, From/to, indicating the assigned limits of the
section, street ID
ii. Street ranking indicating local,alley,arterial,collector, sidewalk
surface type
iii. Sidewalk length, width and area (identified through aerial
imagery, if available), side of street
iv. Distress location(GPS and address identified)
v. Distress type (linear crack, spalling, etc.)
vi. Distress Priority(1, 2 or 3)
vii. Traffic Area designation(HTA, MTA, or LTA)
viii. ADA Required Ramp Locations
ix. Caused by tree
x. Trip/Fall distress
xi. Measurement (linear or area)of distress found
xii. Recommended repair based on City's maintenance criteria
xiii. General comments of distress location(if necessary)
(b) Section Distress and Condition Reporting
i. Identification of all street segments in a continuous manner(W
to E and S to N);
ii. Sidewalk locations identified within street segments
iii. GIS map identifying found sidewalk locations
iv. GIS map identifying found sidewalk distress locations
v. A Priority repair map will also be produced, see GIS to the right)
K. Maintenance & Rehabilitation, History and Decision Tree to assist in developing
the most cost-effective preventative maintenance, repair and rehabilitation strategies
possible. This will be accomplished by meeting with the Contract Officer to discuss
and strategize maintenance activities/unit costs that are currently being used by the
Contract Officer. Also, will conduct a historical and prospective analysis on the
conditional and financial impact AC & PCC maintenance practices have on the
pavement network. The maintenance strategies to be reviewed are localized stop gap
maintenance, slurry seals, rehabilitation and reconstruction (R&R), the expected
improvement in pavement condition, the life-cycle extension that would result and the
unit costs for maintenance. Bucknam will provide an engineering discussion that
includes priority listings as well as several sets of priority/ cost-benefit analysis
scenarios.
Bucknam will establish a maintenance "decision tree" that will be used to generate
pavement recommendations that match current 2016 maintenance approaches. This
will be accomplished by assessing/updating the unique and individual deterioration
curves within the database based on functional class (i.e. arterial, collector, local) and
age. Bucknam will review the RPV's deterioration curves that have been developed
based on historical pavement condition, inspection, surface type, and road class. The
curves will be modified based on 2016 pavement conditions.
All maintenance practices/unit costs will be integrated into the MicroPAVER database
and will be derived from the most recent construction bids for pavement rehabilitation.
We will account for annual inflation rates and PMP project contingencies when long-
term revenues projections are made.
Will work closely with City in defining repair and rehabilitation strategies during each
fiscal year and within each tract/area defined by the City. Once the repair/rehabilitation
strategies have been defined, the identification of a twenty-year Forecasted
Maintenance schedule will be generated.
L. Budgetary Analysis and Final PMP Reporting will be prepared in a format that uses
the information delivered by PMP in conjunction with the information and analysis
performed in this contract. The report will provide the City with information on:
1. Current inventory and pavement conditions indices(PCI)for all road classes
2. Projected annual rehabilitation programs for street maintenance for a seven-
year period (ARTERIAL and RESIDENTIAL Forecast Maintenance
Reports)that show the largest return on investment and acceptable levels of
service
3. Modeling and comparison of budget scenarios typically include:
(a) Maintenance required to complete all streets within 5-years
(b) Current I Actual budget projection(citywide approach)
(c) Annual CIP I Maintenance funding needed to "maintain" current PCI
(d) Recommended Annual CIP/Maintenance funding needed to "increase"
PCI;
4. Strategies and recommendations for the City's County Measure funds,Local
revenues, Gas Tax and maintenance programs and procedures, including a
preventative maintenance schedule;
5. A detailed breakdown of deferred maintenance(backlog); and
6. The PMP will be presented to the RPV City Council and/or upper
management, and the development of the PMP presentation; pro bono
M. PMP&Sidewalk—GIS Layer Update/Implementation of a new Pavement-GIS link
between the PMP software and the City's Pavement Management GIS layer(s) (ESRI
ArcMap 10). The City's current centerline will be used as base file for updating the
unique pavement-GIS layer and project files. The maps described below will be
incorporated into the back of the City's Final PMP report and all digital GIS data will
be provided:
1. PCI values for every section(symbolized through various PCI ranges)
2. Work History identifications
3. Twenty-year Arterial, Residential Overlay, Slurry Seal Programs
4. District GIS Maps(if needed)
Alternative ArcGIS Online Implementation (replaces ArcMap option)
Bucknam will provide PMP live on the web through ESR1's web hosting services. This
will display PMP in a "editing, viewing and query" environment that allows Contract
Officer to view PCi's, run queries, view budgetary reports, work histories and
create/delete new sections.
Additionally, any electronic document / image type (i.e. street improvement plans,
videos, digital images, site assessment photos, etc.) can be linked.
The existing PCI data will be uploaded to the City's ArcGIS Online organizational
account. The GIS data is securely stored and hosted by ESRI. In addition to hosting the
data, a web service is created to use in web-mapping applications.
Bucknam will host the web-based application on its own servers. Access to the web-
based application will be secured through a username/password combination to be
assigned to the Contract Officer. Bucknam will provide the necessary training on the
use of the PMS-GIS thematic data.
N. Reimbursables to include printing, materials and mileage.
O. Automated Digital Roadway Imaging will be delivered by implementing a pavement
survey methodology that will support Pavement Condition Survey efforts as well as
implement a proactive and cost efficient GPS survey methodology that will allow for
the collection of numerous City owned assets and their GPS locations using "one" set
of digital imagery(e.g. five citywide infrastructure 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:
1. Sign (Warning, Regulatory, Guide, City Unique signs, etc.;
2. Right-of-Way assets;
3. Catch basins,
4. Street lights,
5. Manhole/Water Valves,
6. Fire hydrants,
7. Pavement markings, legends and other ROW features;
With verification of street segmentation,the inspection of approximately 149 miles will
be surveyed. ASTM 06433 - 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. Technicians will collect the
following:
8. Continuous pavement imaging(images taken every 5 meters, competition
typically surveys at every 8 meters/25 feet intervals)
9. ASTM 06433 AC and PCC distresses(e.g. linear/transverse cracking,
alligator, patching, bleeding, block cracking, etc.
10. Surface roughness ratings(IRI); rutting depth (full width of lane or
street), if called out by the City as needed
11. Imaging captures 100%of each pavement segment (not just one lane)
12. Data transfers seamlessly to your PMP database
13. 2mm pixel images allows for centimeter horizontal and vertical accuracy
The first survey process will involve the mobile GPS vehicle taking approximately one-
week time to survey the street network;additionally,the vehicles drive the posted speed
limits.
The images that are collected are taken by using Sony digital stereographic cameras(4
to 6 cameras) positioned on the vehicle. The images will have a resolution of 2448 x
2050 and will be georeferenced by means of inertial GPS equipment contained within
the van; images will be taken every 4 to 6 meters, 15 ft. intervals. All images taken are
