City of Bozeman — Citywide Condition Assessment October 27, 2020
1 . Introduction
Applied Pavement Technology, Inc. (APTech)was selected by the City of Bozeman(City)to
complete a citywide pavement condition assessment and analysis of the results to evaluate the
effectiveness of City roadway improvements. APTech representatives spoke with the City on
Tuesday, October 6, 2020,to discuss the project scope, City expectations, and deliverables. The
City requested that APTech submit a scope and fee document for review and approval.
The overall intent of this project is to update the roadway inventory in the City's PAVER
pavement management system(PMS) and provide City staff with a current Pavement Condition
Index(PCI)on a block by block level for streets within the City limits. This information will be
compared with previous (2013)PCI values to assess the effectiveness of City roadway
improvements and to guide future financial planning for roadway maintenance and repair.
This document is provided as APTech's Scope and Fee Proposal for the City of Bozeman
Citywide Condition Assessment. The following sections describe proposed tasks and associated
costs.
2. Project Tasks
APTech's proposed tasks to complete this work effort are detailed below. The description of each
task includes a list of work items to be completed within that task.
Task 1: Project Initiation and Management
The project initiation and management task includes routine and necessary coordination and
status reporting. This project task supports ongoing communication throughout the project.
Activities are expected to include:
• Kickoff meeting—The kickoff meeting will include initiation discussions to coordinate
schedules,milestones, special circumstances, data needs, and deliverable expectations.
Project roles,responsibilities, and contact information for all key personnel will be
exchanged to promote accountability and effective communication. Given current
limitations due to the pandemic this is proposed as a virtual meeting.
• Information request—Prior to submission of this scope and fee proposal the City provided
the current City PAVER database and road network database files. Additional information
that may be required(to be discussed in the kickoff meeting):
o Confirmation of network additions (the pavement network database and PAVER
database have the same number of road segments [2,659 segments], so it is unclear
if additional assets need to be added to the PAVER database at this time).
o Current City budget information(for scenario analyses and assessment of
effectiveness in the final report).
o Desired analyses the City wishes to perform. We propose to perform the following
and document results in the project report:
■ Assessment of current network conditions.
■ Detailed comparison of conditions between 2013 and current assessment to
evaluate effectiveness of road maintenance programs.
O applied pavement 2
�� I E1,11 H ULu�r
City of Bozeman — Citywide Condition Assessment October 27, 2020
■ Budget scenarios using current budget and alternative budget to address
street maintenance recommendations and projections moving forward.
• Press Release-We propose to assist the City with preparation of a press release to be
distributed prior to beginning data collection to inform local media and residents of the
activity (if desired).
• Ongoing status reporting-We propose teleconference status updates approximately every
two weeks to coordinate work status and progress. These will be scheduled at a set day
and time at the beginning of the project and adjusted as required during the project.
Task 2: Network Development
In the network development task APTech will review available databases to identify missing or
incomplete information and to guide the field data collection. The City has provided the existing
PAVER database files and the roadway database. APTech will perform a detailed review of this
information. Activities will include:
• Network definition-Using the available road network database and shape file, and
information gathered during the kickoff meeting discussions, review the roadway network
for completeness of information.
• Coordination with City GIS Department - Identify road segments added to the road
network since 2013 and incorporate those into the PAVER 7 database.
• Survey Preparation-Prepare roadway network information to support field data
collection.
Task 3: Condition Data Collection
The condition data collection task includes all activities related to collection of roadway PCI
distress (ASTM D6433) data on a block by block basis. Data will be collected in one direction on
undivided streets, and in two directions on divided streets. APTech's Enhanced Data Gathering
Equipment(EDGE) automated data collection van will collect geo-located data across the entire
road network. The EDGE collects data while driving at posted roadway speeds and does not
require traffic control. Information obtained includes Right-of-Way (ROW) images, downward
images, transverse profile measurements (rutting), and longitudinal profile measurements
(roughness reported as International Roughness Index, or IRI). Activities in this task will include:
• Mobilization to the City once the roadways are clear of ice, snow, deicing chemicals, and
water.
• Setup and calibration of the EDGE.
• Demonstration of the EDGE to City staff(if desired).
• Establishment of a control section for quality assurance. This control section will be run
prior to commencement of data collection to establish a baseline, once mid-way through
data collection to validate operation, and at the completion of data collection to validate
operation.
• Daily equipment checks to confirm proper operation.

rcHrinI (iry
City of Bozeman — Citywide Condition Assessment October 27, 2020
• Data review in real time during collection, and at the end of each day to confirm image
quality and measurements.
• External data backups daily for security.
Data collection is expected to take 6 working days to complete.
Task 4: Distress Reduction
This task includes all activities necessary to convert information gathered in the field into
measurements and distress values that can be entered into the PMS for calculation of a PCI. To
explain further,the EDGE collects geo-referenced ROW images and line-scan laser data. The
line-scan laser data is primarily used to measure distresses. To apply the laser data in that manner,
they must be processed to generate images of the surface showing distresses, and then algorithms
are used for initial automated distress identification. Trained surveyors then complete workstation
surveys to confirm automated results and identify distresses not discernible with automation. The
results of this effort include tabulated distress data by type, severity, and extent for import into
PAVER,rutting measurements that are also imported as a distress in PAVER, and IRI
measurements that may be associated in a user-defined field in PAVER by segment and/or
provided separately to the agency for review and use. Critical path steps in this process include:
• Post-processing LCMS data to produce range and intensity images,and to identify
automated distresses.
• Post-processing profile data to produce longitudinal roughness (IRI)and transverse profile
(rutting).
• Workstation surveys to extract distress type, severity, and extent from images.
• Quality control review—Review of a random selection of distress data to confirm that
segment distress data is reasonable. This review will be done using downward and ROW
images and will be performed by trained staff other than those who did the initial distress
reduction(peer review).
• Import distress data into PAVER 7 for road segments.
Task 5: Analyses
Analyses will include a comparison study of current and 2013 distress data to assess effectiveness
of road maintenance processes and budget scenario runs to provide the City with information for
future planning and budgeting.Assessment of effectiveness will include a global review of
expenditures vs change in condition over time and review of performance by treatment type
(where data exists)to address actual vs expected performance.
Performance of budget scenarios will require configuration of PAVER 7 with treatment strategies
and pavement families. We assume this has been done previously. If not,APTech will gather
information from the City to configure PAVER 7 as needed. If information does not exist,
APTech will use engineering judgement and program default information where necessary.

Task 6: Reporting
APTech will prepare and deliver a draft report in electronic format for City review discussing
findings, methodologies, and current pavement conditions. The report will include a detailed
comparison of Citywide pavement conditions between the current data and the 2013 survey,
including an evaluation of the effectiveness of the City's current street maintenance program and
recommendations and projections for the City's street maintenance program moving forward.
Input from the City will be used to finalize the report. The final report will be submitted in three
hard (printed) copies and an electronic version in pdf format.
An updated PAVER 7 database will be provided to the City containing PCI data.
Schedule
Given the timing of the award of this contract field data collection will not be possible until
Spring 2021. In general terms we intend to prepare for field work in the interim, collect condition
data around May 2021, and complete the project by July 2021. If the opportunity exists for earlier
data collection, we will take advantage of it. APTech will coordinate the schedule with the City
during planned coordination teleconferences and provide updates once the dates of data collection
are established.
