As the City of El Segundo's infrastructure matures, the City's staff is striving to update the City's
Pavement Management Program (PMP) through cost effective citywide condition surveys,
linking all pavement data to the City's GIS and enhancing the use of MicroPAVER that is
embraced by city staff. These goals will be an essential for the City's future Proposition C
submittals.
The City requires a team that will not only resurvey the pavement network using cost - conscious
methodologies but will assist in the creation of a comprehensive program that includes the
creation of a multi -year CIP, educational training, operational manuals, stewardship, GIS links,
and the knowledge of the inner workings of MicroPAVER.
Our team brings the experience of over 70 pavement management projects in Southern California
to the City (over 40 of these projects are managed through MicroPAVER).
Through our extensive project experience we will not only address the City's primary goals of:
• Establishing a user - friendly PMS interface;
• Surveying 30 Arterial and Collector centerline miles of pavement;
• Generating 2006 -07 Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ratings for each segment;
• Establishing solid recommendations for current / future maintenance needs; and
• Creating a multi -year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) that will be used on a annual
basis and will identify capital funds necessary to meet a achievable level of service
but will efficiently link all collected /updated pavement data to the City's GIS system cost -
effectively and within this projects timeframe. Pavement management does not require a daily or
monthly task driven project schedule once the system is in place, furthermore, for any data
management program to succeed you need staff understanding and motivation. We will work
closely with Engineering staff to steward and implement a solid, useable pavement management
program that can be updated on a biannual basis through inspections and reporting preformed by
City staff and/or through our on -call services.
With a completed survey, our team will work with you to establish a pavement management
program that provides specific, manageable pavement segments, detailed maintenance schedules
of needed repairs and cost conscious maintenance recommendations that will be used in preparing
budget estimates required to complete the scheduled work for fiscal year 2006 -07 and beyond.

Scope of Work
Project Approach
3673...10
The City of El Segundo has recognized the need to continually improve the approach used for
managing its pavement network. The City is currently using MicroPAVER software to manage
pavement data that has been collected over the past six plus years.
Our Project Manager, Mr. Peter Bucknam has worked with over 8 pavement management
software's, including CarteGraph, MTC, MicroPAVER, PASER, ICON, GBA Master Series, and
ITX Stanley throughout Southern California. Mr. Bucknam is a team builder; he will build strong
and frequent communication between Engineering, Maintenance and GIS staffs to ensure project
success and achievable long -term management goals for the City's Pavement Management
Program.
With the City needing this project to move forward immediately, our staff is ready to support the
City through pavement management services. Through our knowledge and experience of
pavement inspection using MicroPAVER, we will provide the City with an updated citywide
pavement management program that will allow for not only the evaluation of prior maintenance
strategies, but make cost - effective pavement management decisions that optimize the expenditure
of street maintenance funds in today's dollars and practices.
We have developed project objectives that will:
❖ Assess and develop common sense maintenance zones for survey and slurry seal
scheduling
v Determine the pavement network PCI condition status for all streets using recent
inspections, work history events & deterioration models thus reducing project costs
❖ Enhance pavement rehabilitation /maintenance recommendations of each street segment
based on 2006 pavement conditions
❖ Train & provide MicroPAVER support services for City staff to establish in -house
stewardship for future PMP -GIS needs
•S Provide all pavement data within the system to be linked to the City's GIS

Scope of Work.
Scope of Services

TASK 1: Project Kickoff - Data Assessment of MicroPAVER
The success of a pavement management program truly resides in frequent communication and
timely scheduled data updates and for the City of El Segundo it will be essential to establish, up
front, the City's immediate pavement management 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.
The first key topics to be discussed will include the review and assessment of the existing
pavement plan /data, survey areas, data quality and condition, current pavement procedures within
Engineering, available resources, historical expenditure levels, and desired service levels.
Through these discussions our project team will gain further understanding of the City's unique
needs and identify specific areas of concern that will need to be included as part of the pavement
management program.
Inventory & Review PMP and Street Network
The first step in conducting the pavement condition assessment will be to validate and confirm
the inventory segmentation criteria for the City's pavement network. This will be based on the
information obtained from the City and the existing database and act as an initial quality control
for standard street naming conventions. Currently the street network is assumed to be block to
block for its residential streets and approximately 1/4 mile segments for its arterial and collectors.
It is recommended to stay with this segmentation for arterials due to its interface with Proposition
C audits and project applications.
All segment ID's and other unique identifiers will be review and analyzed against the City's
existing GIS centerline data for connectivity and linking compatibility. This will ensure the
success of the future link between the pavement software and GIS.
Deliverable: Meeting minutes, project goals, action items, revised project schedule which
includes future project meetings and data updates.
TASK 2: 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 activities that have been performed since FY
2000 -01. This data will be entered into the pavement management software to enhance the
accuracy and recommendations for the upcoming budgetary analysis and CIP reporting.
Deliverable: Project status letter indicating work completion and project schedule for
survey

3 6 7 3 ..- .'t- j
Once the pavement network to be surveyed has been verified, the inspection of approximately 30
Arterial and Collector centerline miles will be surveyed. 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. We use a mix of windshield
and walking survey based on the street conditions found. If the City has an available high -
resolution aerial (approx. 3 "), we will use it to verify street measurements taken in 2001 -02, this
will greatly increase survey times and project schedules. If no aerial is available, we will verify
segment areas through the City's GIS data and/or our quality control efforts in the field.
Our first priority will be pavement condition analysis of the City's Arterial and Collectors.
Proposition C compliancy, at a minimum, is essential to the success of this project. We will use
the City's maps generated from Task 1 and database to survey the Arterial and Collector streets.
The survey will be performed by the Bucknam & Associates team that is experienced and trained
in pavement condition assessment and in using field data collection Tablet/PDA units. Pavement
distress data is collected in -hand, on our Tablet /PDA survey forms, then transferred at the end of
the day to our office workstations for quality control and data population.
This functionality sets us apart from the competition where we are spending less man -hours
to enter the data using the PDA, while in turn using those man -hour savings in capital to
enhance the PMP -GIS link, and generate a more detailed CIP.
Based on street conditions and /or traffic, our staff will measure specific or distinct distress types
in the field by hand. 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, street name, a street codification
(if it is existing)
❖ Street classification indicating function, such as local, alley, arterial, or collector, # of
lanes, surface type
❖ PCI tracking of historical PCI from previous inspection records and current 2006 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)

We welcome staff members from the City of El Segundo to join any portion of our survey
efforts. Condition data will be evaluated for all street segments and shall include the following
condition characteristics:
2. Condition Attributes for PCI Generation
❖ Pavement distresses by type of distress severity and area (e.g., alligator, block,
transverse, edge cracking, raveling, bleeding).
❖ Drainage Condition Rating will be completed for each segment.
Pavement Condition Index (PCI), taking into account the surface condition, level of
distress, ride, and drainage to provide an overall condition assessment. The numbering
system ranges between 0 -100, with 100 indicating new pavement.
We will collect data covering 19 AC pavement distresses, extent, and severity of distresses. Our
staff will input all collected pavement data into the City's most current licensed software (we will
assist the City in obtaining the most recent version of the select software if the City has not
already done so). Using this software, all items listed above will be maintained by our staff for
the duration of this project. All data management will be performed in -house at our Laguna
Niguel office using the software's most recent version release. From there we will coordinate
with your staff to implement the new files within your information services /communication
network.
Our staff and surveyors will be responsible for organizing the work to minimize traffic disruption
on the City's street system. All work will be performed in accordance with OSHA standards, and
furthermore, our staff will inform City engineering and police staff when and where our teams
will be working within the week's period.
Quality Control, Status Meetings and Progress Reports
We will use a statistical sampling approach for measuring the quality of our field technician's
work. In this manner, 10 percent (10 miles) of the original surveys will be re- surveyed by a
different crew, supervised by a field supervisor, and the results will be compared to the original
surveys. The quality control process involves checking the two field crews' work in a "blind
study" fashion. Quality control checks will be performed at the end of each work week during
the survey efforts. This will be done to ensure that all field personnel are properly categorizing
the distresses and that correct pavement quantities are established for all street segments. At the
time of surveying, our staff will perform several quality control tests within the pavement
management software using a sample set of El Segundo's street distress data. This will ensure
that all system and analysis settings as well as City recommendations and standards are
programmed correctly.
As the project progresses, the database will be updated on a daily basis and evaluated for missing
data. If missing items are found, field personnel are notified and the data, if available, is
collected.

Scope of Work
During the pavement condition survey, regular status meetings between Bucknam & Associates
and the City's Project Manager will be held to report on the status, schedule control, budgets,
issues, and quality control efforts. This is typically done with monthly meetings depending upon
the City's current workload. Any action items that arise from these meetings will be completed
and data collection/entry will continue. There will be a minimum of three meetings during the
project (kickoff, field, and status meetings)
Monthly progress memo's will be delivered to the City to update City management on the
progress of key scope tasks.
Section Distress and Treatment Report
Once inspections are completed, we will generate a draft Pavement Condition Index (PCI) Report
for City staff to review.
Upon completion of the pavement condition survey and City review of the draft PCI report, we
will prepare a report that documents the condition of all inventoried pavement segments. The
City and our staff will review these reports to ensure that all inventory data is correct and the
project is running smoothly.
Our staff will generate a Pavement Condition Report that will include:
• :• Network/street database
❖ PCI report
Present status /condition
❖ Work history report
❖ GIS Maps presenting PCI finding by section
Deliverable: Project status letter (monthly), quality control schedule report (monthly),
draft PCI report, GIS maps, distress types for each section, with appropriate treatment
recommendations (by section).
DEVELOP RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
TASK 4: Budgetary Analysis and Capital Improvement Reports
Following the acceptance of the Pavement Condition Report (PCI Report), various
repair /rehabilitation strategies will be discussed. We will assist the City in developing the most
cost - effective preventative maintenance, repair and rehabilitation strategies possible as well as,
optimize the City's Maintenance program. This will be accomplished by meeting with the City to
discuss and strategize on maintenance activities that would be applicable to the City.
Based on the City's slurry seal practices over the past 5 years we will conduct an analysis on the
condition and financial impact these practices have made to the residential and industrial pavement
sections in town. Based on our findings, we will present the results and recommendations to City
staff for consideration. This analysis will become an essential part of the Maintenance program
review.

We will establish a maintenance "decision tree" that will be used to generate pavement
recommendations that match current 2006 maintenance approaches. The pavement software will
generate a deterioration curve based on functional class (arterial, residential, industrial), age, etc;
we will model the pavement deterioration curves for each function class within our Final Report.
All changes to the City Maintenance program and practices will become an essential part of the
decision tree.
The strategies that are typically reviewed and included are rehabilitation and reconstruction (R &R),
localized maintenance, cape seals, slurry seals, overlays, and reconstructions (based on the
condition of the "maintenance sections "), the expected improvement in pavement condition, the
life -cycle extension that would result and the unit costs for maintenance.
All maintenance practices /unit costs will be integrated into PMS and will be derived from the
review of the most recent construction bids for pavement rehabilitation and will account for
inflation when long -term projections are made through the program software.
All strategy assignments will be based on road class, PCI weighted average /range and type of
surface, which are adjustable within the program. The key factor here is to get the largest return -
on- investment (ROI) through developing a "decision tree" that addresses all pavement information
and is cost - conscience.
Additionally, our staff will generate Maintenance Zones based on PCI, metrics and geographic
locations to enhance the slurry seal and localized maintenance programs. We will draft sample
zones for the City to review and accept. In developing these "neighborhood" zones, the City will
be able to strategically address the deferred maintenance backlogs that currently reside on the
residential pavement network. These new Maintenance Zones will also determine the future
residential survey schedule.
Deliverable: Project meeting minutes, summary report of maintenance and budget
approach used for Final Report
Pavement Improvement and Priority Listing Reports
Our Project Manager and Principal will work closely with City staff in defining repair and
rehabilitation strategies during each fiscal year (i.e. 2006 - 2011). Once the repair /rehabilitation
strategies have been defined, the software will be used to identify the recommended maintenance
and rehabilitation projects for each street over a given period of time, which will cover a multi-
year CIP schedule.
The recommended budget scenarios and needs will be identified on the basis of several criteria:
❖ Cost benefit of individual strategies
V* Present pavement conditions for that given year

Scope of Work.
3673. .
•.. Multiple budget scenarios (Unlimited Budget, Current $3 million budget, Recommended
budget and $0 Budget
•.- Accrued backlog levels and stabilization of maintenance backlog
44, Future routine and major maintenance needs based on projected deterioration rates
❖ Future Proposition C and AHRP objectives and goals and improving citywide weighted
PCI average to a acceptable level of condition
•;• Desired levels of service and available resources
The primary emphasis of this task is to maximize the programming of street maintenance projects
using the most cost- effective strategies available and taking into account a life -cycle cost analysis
of each strategy recommended. This task will generate a minimum of three scenario's, a working
"current" budget based on current El Segundo pavement spending levels, a "recommended"
budget which will identify the capital expenditures needed to reach a given PCI level desired by
City management and a "zero" budget demonstrating a diminished funding allocation such as the
City being unable to fund maintenance for several fiscal years.
Our reporting doesn't simply take budget allocations into account, we enhance our analysis and
recommendations by reviewing previous work history efforts; we then project maintenance in a
way that is logistically and economically viable for both the Arterial program and the Residential
program.
A working "draft" Final Report will be generated for City staff to review. This report will
include an executive summary, the Pavement Condition Report as well as a summary of our
findings from generating the actual and proposed budget scenarios. It will also include:
•:� Priority listings (PCI's from 100 -0)
•;• Budget allocation percentage's based upon parameters such as cost - effectiveness vs.
repair for residential streets in poor condition.
•�• Multi -Year CIP identifying arterial and residential maintenance (per section)
•;• Recommendations /reports for neighborhood residential maintenance in "groupings" or
zones.

TASK 5: Executive Summary and Final CIP Reports
Based on the City staffs review and comments of the Draft Final Report we will deliver the Final
Report to the City which will be technically useful for staff reference and presented in a way that
is beneficial for elected officials. The Final Pavement Management Program Report will provide
a summary of the findings from the condition survey with the corresponding recommendations
for the implementation of the most cost - effective maintenance program each year (this report will
be suited for an audience of managers and council members).
The report will be prepared in a format that uses the information found in the computerized PMP
reports in conjunction with the information and analyses performed by our team. City staff will
supply a list of the projects that should be included in the study.
The report will also provide the City with information on:
❖ 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)
❖ Projected annual repair /rehabilitation programs for street maintenance, for each street, for a
multi -year timeframe (forecast maintenance report) that demonstrates the largest return on
investment
❖ Strategies and recommendations for the City's Maintenance programs and procedures,
including a preventative maintenance schedule.
•:• Priority projects that should be scheduled for immediate maintenance, based on user -
defined priorities and existing conditions
❖ Exhibits showing the current and proposed annual work to be performed based on the
multi -year CIP package
❖ 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 Pavement
Management Program 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. Final pavement management database will be installed at City.
