Page ◆ 4 Citywide Pavement Condition Assessment for the City of Bozeman, MT September 2, 2020 Project Overview APTech has worked with many cities to implement and update pavement management systems that support objective and accountable decision making. Through this experience, we recognize the need to work closely with those cities to understand their goals and objectives while developing a work plan that will efficiently and successfully complete the effort. APTech works collaboratively with its clients, seeking solutions that will best meet their unique desires, needs, objectives, and constraints. Our work with the City will be no different. By listening closely and offering guidance and advice from decades of experience, we will help the City to move towards data-driven and accountable decision-making. Based on information provided in the RFP, our proposed approach relies on the use of automated data collection, semi-automated data processing to produce distress data, loading the data into PAVER, and assessment of condition change since the 2013 survey. Our automated data collection equipment collects geo-located condition data quickly and safely, without impact to other roadway users. Semi-automated processing uses the efficiency of programming methods to automatically identify pavement distress, supported by trained surveyors who manually review images on dedicated workstations to improve data quality. To adhere to the requirements of the RFP, APTech will record distress in accordance with ASTM D6433, Standard Practice for Roads and Parking Lots Pavement Condition Index Surveys. Project Approach Task 1. Project Initiation and Management To start the project, APTech will schedule a kickoff meeting with the City to discuss project objectives, schedule, and work plan. The kickoff meeting is a crucial part of project success and will be scheduled immediately after notice of award. As part of the kickoff meeting, APTech will request any necessary information required to complete the project. This is likely to include the current City PAVER database, the road network shape file, any available information about network changes since the last update, information on current maintenance strategies and associated costs, current capital improvements planned and pavement rehabilitation projects, and budget information. This task will also include routine and ongoing communication throughout the project to coordinate project status. We anticipate routine status teleconferences approximately every two weeks, or as required. APTech will prepare and provide notes documenting discussions from all meetings. Task 2. Network Definition and Update APTech will review the current PAVER database and update it with any information provided by the City that needs to be added prior to the field data collection. This is likely to include new Applied Pavement Technology, Inc. Page ◆ 5 Citywide Pavement Condition Assessment for the City of Bozeman, MT September 2, 2020 roadways in the network and any work history (maintenance or rehabilitation projects) that have occurred since the last update. The previous (2013) report identified about 190 roadway miles in the network, while this RFP indicates the City’s network consists of about 242 miles of roadways. This would imply that about 50 miles of roadways have been added. We would also assume the City has done work on the network and that this information needs to be included in PAVER to perform analyses. The simplest and easiest way to complete this review will be to extract the GIS roadway network shape file from PAVER and do a spatial join between that and the City’s GIS roadway network shape file to identify segments not currently in the database. These can be added to the PAVER network so that all street segments are included. Once added, the attributes for the new segments will have to be populated with available information for construction history, which is easily done using the City’s GIS database. Through this effort, the City will have a complete PAVER database to use in projecting budget and work needs. Once we have a complete database with current work history information in it, we will use the shape file to prepare for condition data collection. The roadway network definition will guide geo- referenced data collection equipment, providing an ability to produce a “blackout map” confirming that all roadway segments have been surveyed. Task 3. Field Data Collection To complete this data collection effort, APTech intends to mobilize its Enhanced Data Gathering Equipment (EDGE) automated data collection Applied Pavement Technology, Inc. Page ◆ 6 Citywide Pavement Condition Assessment for the City of Bozeman, MT September 2, 2020 van to the City. The EDGE is a Laser Crack Measurement System (LCMS) equipped van collecting multiple-view Right-of-Way (ROW) images, downward line-scan laser 3D images, longitudinal and transverse profile, and GPS location. This data is collected while driving at posted speeds so there is no impact to road users during data collection. Data collection occurs quickly and safely. APTech uses two operators – one to drive and one to review data in real time. We will collect data in one lane, one direction on two lane roads, and one lane each direction on four-lane or divided roads. This coverage has been proven to produce reliable and representative network-level results. APTech has several quality control procedures in place. The practices followed are too numerous to list herein but can be provided to the City upon request. A project quality management plan will be provided before data collection, but a summary of our practices includes: ♦Establishment of a control section that is run prior to data collection, after data collection, and periodically during data collection (depending on the duration of the data collection). ♦Equipment calibration prior to use. ♦Daily equipment checks to confirm proper operation. ♦Use of two operators so that one can monitor measurements in real time. ♦Daily review of collected images and data so that questionable data can be re-collected while on site. ♦Maintenance of a blackout map to ensure proper and complete coverage. ♦Collection of data on clear roads (dry, clear of ice or snow, etc.) The RFP acknowledges the possibility of weather impacts on data collection. Recognizing that the approval to proceed will occur after the time when weather could impact data collection, it will be important that we move to collect data as soon as possible. APTech will make every effort to complete the network review and mobilize its equipment as quickly as possible so that data collection can occur before the onset of winter weather. Task 4. Distress Reduction Data collected by the EDGE will be returned to APTech’s offices for post-processing and data reduction. Post-processing takes machine data and converts it to information and images that can be used in analysis. APTech uses a semi-automated distress reduction process. Post-processing identifies cracking and some other distresses on the images, but additional review is required to identify distresses in accordance with ASTM D6433. In review of the previous report, the list of distresses considered included alligator cracking, patching, potholes, longitudinal, and transverse cracking. While these are the typical distresses apparent in most surveys, they are not a majority of the 19 distresses that must be considered in a PCI survey. Our semi-automated process takes longer but produces a more complete result. Semi- automated surveys require trained surveyors at workstations reviewing images to add distresses that are not picked up by the software. We pride ourselves on the completeness of our surveys and encourage this detail for informed decision making by agencies. The result of the distress reduction process is tabulated information by road segment including: ♦Detailed distress (type, severity, and extent) ♦Longitudinal profile, summarized as International Roughness Index (IRI) ♦Rutting measurements The distress data and rutting are loaded into PAVER for calculation of PCI. Profile data and imagery are available to the agency for their use as desired. Applied Pavement Technology, Inc. Page ◆ 7 Citywide Pavement Condition Assessment for the City of Bozeman, MT September 2, 2020 Task 5. Analysis The primary objective of this work, as stated in the RFP, is to complete a detailed comparison between the 2013 assessment and this current work in an effort to assess the effectiveness of the City’s street maintenance program and provide recommendations for the City’s program moving forward. APTech recently completed similar work for Kane County, Illinois and Miami, Florida. Current practices were reviewed to assess program effectiveness and recommendations were provided for possible process improvements. Measurement of effectiveness can be done in several ways but in all cases the results need to be meaningful to the City. We will discuss this analysis and measure of effectiveness in detail during the project kickoff and following coordination meetings to ensure that results meet the City’s objectives. At this time, we envision we will compare projected conditions from 2013 to current conditions, considering budget and work since 2013, to comment on the effectiveness of the program. Treatment strategies will be considered and opportunities for improvement in treatment approaches that make more effective use of available funding will be provided. There are concerns about the completion of this analysis given the relatively long period of time between the 2013 condition assessment and this one in 2020. A gap of 7 years is a long time and a lot can happen that was not observed. We are assuming that all work done was documented and will be captured in the work history, but if it is not results may be misleading. We should also note that performance curves based on two data points spaced far apart may also be inconclusive. Every effort will be made to draw meaningful conclusions about the effectiveness of City processes, but these concerns, and potentially others that will be identified after more thorough review of the City database, may render such an analysis less conclusive than desired. Task 6. Reporting APTech will prepare a project report detailing the project objectives, the data collection process and findings, current conditions, and the analysis results. Emphasis will be placed on the comparison of conditions and evaluation of the City’s current street maintenance processes. Recommendations will be included where appropriate. The report will be provided in draft form for City review. APTech will consider City input in the finalization of the report. Once final, the report will be produced and provided to the City in three hard copies and one PDF file as required. Deliverables Deliverables of this effort will include: ♦The project report described in task 6 above. ♦Coordination with the City GIS department to confirm integration of all new data into the City PAVER database and CityWorks. Note that we assume the City has integrated PAVER with CityWorks previously using the CityWorks connection API designed for this process, so the integration of data will include transfer of data between those two programs. Should there be a greater requirement to this effort, it will need to be detailed in negotiation of the final Scope of Work. Changes to Scope of Work APTech understands that the City may want to add or remove services once contract negotiations begin. We welcome the opportunity to discuss and adjust the specific scope with the City to ensure it meets the objectives and considers the constraints of the City. APTech has assisted many agencies with pavement management process reviews, helping them develop treatment strategies that are more effective (improve network condition over time with the same or lower costs), providing training, and providing other engineering evaluation and Applied Pavement Technology, Inc. Page ◆ 8 Citywide Pavement Condition Assessment for the City of Bozeman, MT September 2, 2020 support services. As stated previously, we seek to help our clients establish and meet long-term goals through data-driven, performance-based decision making. APTech not only provides data collection services but has the qualifications and experience to provide guidance to agencies in the effective use of that information. We welcome the opportunity to assist the City in this manner. Management Approach APTech will manage this project from its main office in Urbana, Illinois. While some staffing is remote, we have worked successfully for years to complete projects. We do this through continuous coordination among the team. One of the keys to this successful approach is the development and distribution of a project work plan. This plan informs all project team members of the work that needs to be done, the schedule, and each task’s impact on the next. Project Work Plan Once notice to proceed (NTP) is issued, APTech will prepare a detailed Project Work Plan documenting the scope of work, data collection methods, format and delivery method for deliverables, project schedule, and quality assurance measures. APTech will include a draft Quality Management Plan as part of the Project Work Plan. This plan will be submitted to the City for review and discussion as part of the project initiation meeting. APTech will receive comments from the City and incorporate those into the final Project Work Plan that will be submitted to the City for review prior to beginning the data collection. Project Monitoring Once the project plan is in place, the project team works together through that plan to complete the effort. APTech recognizes that the City wants this project completed in a timely manner and we are committed to providing the resources to do so. We communicate almost daily to identify concerns and address them. We adhere to the stated schedule and seek to identify and address items that may adversely impact the schedule. Progress Updates To keep the City project team informed, APTech will provide regular status updates via web conferencing. We propose to establish a schedule for coordination calls every two weeks. These calls will review the work completed in the past work period, the work planned for the next work period, any schedule deviations, quality control efforts and results, and any incidents impacting health and safety. If there is a need for more frequent communication, we will establish a revised communication schedule to accommodate it. APTech has several options for ongoing communication, including teleconferencing and screen sharing applications we routinely use for this purpose, which support this need at no cost to our clients. In addition, as requested in this RFP, APTech will prepare and submit monthly invoices for progress payments. Applied Pavement Technology, Inc.

Related Experience on Similar Projects Town of Cave Creek Pavement Management System Implementation and Training The Town of Cave Creek, Arizona includes approximately 80 centerline miles of paved roadway in its pavement network. The Town sought to protect its capital investment in the pavement network by promoting efficient and effective pavement maintenance and management. To meet this goal, the Town selected APTech to implement a pavement management system in 2014. Applied Pavement Technology, Inc. Page ◆ 11 Citywide Pavement Condition Assessment for the City of Bozeman, MT September 2, 2020 APTech successfully completed the following tasks: ♦Determined that PAVER, a structured pavement management system, would provide the best functionality at the most reasonable cost. ♦Created the pavement database in PAVER, including creating the network, linking road segments to GIS, creating performance models, defining treatment strategies, and configuring the program for analysis. ♦Performed a complete round of PCI data collection. ♦Developed a maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) plan. ♦Installed the PAVER software on Town computers. ♦Trained the Town staff in the use of the system. The PAVER training helped the Cave Creek staff become self-sufficient in projecting pavement conditions and scheduling work to maintain desired conditions across the road network. The project results enabled the Town to establish budget goals for an improved pavement network. These detailed goals enabled the Town to accomplish its pavement maintenance targets early in the fiscal year, following a custom workplan based on APTech’s recommendations. This vastly improved the Town’s road network. City of Champaign, Illinois PMS Update The City of Champaign, Illinois, has a transportation infrastructure serving approximately 83,000 residents as well as businesses, commercial traffic, and more than 44,000 students at the University of Illinois daily. In 2014, the City selected APTech to update its pavement management system and provide required reports on a routine basis; this project is ongoing. APTech’s work for the City of Champaign has included: ♦Improving the City’s ability to visualize street information in their GIS by linking the PMS to street segments defined in the GIS, enabling the City to view current and projected condition and work needs. ♦Performing three rounds of condition surveys for 291 centerline miles and 624 lane-miles. ♦Updating pavement conditions, performance models, treatment strategies, and work history data in the City’s PMS so that it is better prepared for analysis functions. ♦Developing and customizing data visualization tools for the City. APTech’s Innovative Data Exchange Application (IDEA) makes maps, charts, photos, and other pavement data easy to navigate on the web. ♦Reporting impacts of potential budget changes on network condition to support City decision making. ♦Providing ongoing pavement management support. Because of this project, the City is better equipped to use their PMS for a variety of analysis and reporting needs. In the past, the City only used the PMS to report current condition. The City can now predict needs, evaluate budget change impacts, consider work options and their impacts on network condition, and present information to decision makers more effectively using better visualization tools. The PMS now supports data- driven decision-making and needs analyses. Applied Pavement Technology, Inc. Page ◆ 12 Citywide Pavement Condition Assessment for the City of Bozeman, MT September 2, 2020 City of Urbana, Illinois Pavement Management Services In 2018, APTech was hired as the pavement management consultant by the City of Urbana with the goals of implementing a new PMS and documenting the City’s pavement conditions using APTech’s EDGE van.

The City of Miami is eager to move to data-driven, informed decision making, instead of planning for transportation asset needs reactively. The work completed by Cartegraph and APTech is supporting this goal. As part of this effort, in 2020 APTech completed the following: ♦Automated data collection for all City streets. ♦Assisting the City with development of pavement family definitions, and development of treatment protocols and performance models for each defined family. ♦Performance of budget scenario analyses using Scenario Builder. ♦Supporting agency training for updates to treatment protocols and use of Scenario Builder to perform PMS analyses. Through this work, the City of Miami is now prepared to project work needs and network conditions into the future, provide information to decision makers about the impact of budget adjustments, and improve their maintenance and preservation practices to make more effective use of limited resources. Applied Pavement Technology, Inc. Page ◆ 13 Citywide Pavement Condition Assessment for the City of Bozeman, MT September 2, 2020 Proposed Schedule This section of our proposal response provides our anticipated schedule for completion of this work. This schedule is based on deadlines and selection timelines provided in the RFP. The anticipated date for contract authorization and NTP is stated as October 9, 2020. The RFP recognizes that this date is after the time when weather may adversely impact data collection. We anticipate field data collection will take approximately 10 days to complete. Due to the potential for weather impacts, every effort will be made to expedite the planning and completion of field data collection before the onset of inclement weather. We propose to do this by obtaining the roadway network shape file and any required additions immediately upon receipt of NTP; working concurrently to prepare for data collection while developing the project plan and preparing for the kickoff meeting. Our goal will be to begin data collection soon after the project kickoff meeting, weather permitting. Pavement condition data collection may only be completed when roads are clear of debris, water, snow, etc. Should an early onset of weather prevent data collection, we will work with the City to adjust the project plan accordingly. Table 1 presents our anticipated project schedule. Note that we feel this is an aggressive schedule and will require prompt attention to project needs for completion. This has been done to proceed with data collection as soon as possible after award. Once we have the image and data collected there is less urgency, but it would be prudent to proceed with data collection as soon as possible to get it done. Table 1. Proposed project schedule.
