1.6. EXPERIENCE

ERI project team retains extensive experience in conducting pavement condition inspections utilizing high resolution video processing equipment, distress identification using the ASTM standard D6433, GIS based pavement databases, MicroPAVERTM, GASB reporting for pavement infrastructure and pavement analysis using NDT methods such as FWD, GPR and pavement coring.

1.6.1 Pavement Condition Inspections utilizing Automated Data Collection Vehicles

ERI has performed pavement condition surveys using high-resolution video processing equipment since 1989, beginning with PASCO surveys at the O’Hare International Airport. Our foray into digital data collection began in 2010 with the purchase of our first International Cybernetics Corporation (ICC) ADSV. We now collect thousands of miles of pavement and asset inventory and condition data every year. ERI’s engineering staff has been performing pavement condition surveys using data and image processing workstations for as long as we have been collecting that data, and our technical staff has performed pavement condition surveys, including laser profile, rutting, and faulting data, in accordance with several pavement condition survey methodologies, including the Wisconsin’s PASER, and the Army Corps of Engineering’s PCI.

ERI’s top of the line automated distress data collection system combined with the advanced user-friendly software tools that utilize the automated crack analysis software/techniques to reduce subjective analysis of manual image review will provide the City the best alternative to traditional manual surveys. The software installed on the workstation allow experienced PCI inspectors to “draw” lines and areas of identified distresses (longitudinal and transverse cracking, alligator cracking, etc.), and the software will record the lengths, areas, and positions to come up with the exact PCI distress takeoff for an identified sample unit. Rating technicians conduct this work in the safety of the office and this technique does not impact the highway users and traveling public. ERI has six (6) such Imaging Workstation setups which are network ready in their ERI office in Savoy, IL. The digital format of the data allows for expedient, accurate upload of the information into MicroPAVERTM.

The automated crack detection software utilized by ERI in post-processing of the downward pavement images allows for the fully automatic interpretation of the pavement surface data. The pavement images are automatically processed to generate severity and extent measures for cracks and other roadway distress types. ERI can adjust severity thresholds to meet specifications. The processing software also produces results in the five AASHTO lane region bands (two-wheel paths, center lane, and lane edges) or allows the creation of client-specific lane zone definitions (similar to AASHTO’s lane regions). The software uses advanced algorithms to automate the process of capturing visible and detectable surface pavement distresses including alligator cracking, edge cracking and longitudinal and transverse cracking. The ERI team understands that some surface distress information is not always available through the automated pavement surface distress identification process. These distresses require a manual identification, and can include roadway patching and utility cut patching, bleeding, block cracking, corrugations, potholes, weathering and raveling and rigid pavement distress classification. ERI utilizes the imaging workstation software for leveraging the LRIS collection pavement images and surface distress information to collect these manual pavement distresses. This tool has the capability to add additional distress information that is not available through automated data collection while still leveraging the base data provided by the APDCVS. This method allows manual collection to align directly with automated data collection to provide consistent results and streamline the post-processing effort. In addition to surface distress identification, ERI’s automated system collects additional pavement attributes such as International Roughness Index (IRI), rutting and faulting. The APDCVS is able to collect and report longitudinal profile and International Roughness Index (IRI) with the precision and bias of an ASTM E950 Class 1 profiler across a 4m lane width.

1.6.2 Pavement Management System Implementation

Since 1982, ERI has implemented Pavement Management Systems for many clients. ERI personnel were responsible for developing pavement management systems, evaluating the causes of pavement failures, and developing rehabilitation recommendations for various airport and roadway pavement networks of city/town/municipal and public works. In addition, our specialized expertise in pavement engineering, and various pavement analysis and design programs such as MEPDG provides us as a thorough understanding of pavement performance and effects of various pavement treatment options.

ERI’s staff was responsible for overall management of the projects, responsible for records review, site evaluation, data analysis and recommending potential repair, determination of remaining life, responsible for a comprehensive review of the pavement management program and comparison with industry practices, providing guidance to the clients on pavement management practices and use of pavement preservation techniques, help the agencies identify the short- and long-term initiatives needed to improve practices for managing pavements, for the quality assurance of the collected data and the project coordination. Some examples of our implemented pavement management plans are attached in Exhibit A.

1.6.3 Pavement Management System Software/s Experience

A. MicroPAVERTM for Pavement Management

Dr. Butt's services were utilized at the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) for the research and development of the MicroPAVERTM Pavement Management System. During a period of three years, Dr. Butt developed probabilistic pavement performance prediction models and pavement network optimization routines using dynamic programming and incremental benefit cost ratio techniques. During his research Dr. Butt utilized significant amount of PCI data from various US Army and US Air Force installations.

Most of ERI engineers have years of experience working with the latest version of MicroPAVERTM available in the market. Dr. Abbas Butt and Dr. Mark Brown have provided their technical expertise in various capacities for the development of the MicroPAVERTM PMS. Dr. Butt has over 30 years’ experience in developing pavement management systems for various highways and airports using MicroPAVERTM software at national and international levels.

ERI offers the municipalities tremendous experience and capabilities utilizing MicroPAVERTM. Our staff have surveyed millions of square feet of pavement using the PCI methodology, and we updated the MicroPAVERTM databases with each of these surveys. ERI can perform all functions of MicroPAVERTM pavement management work, and we provided these exact services for the various cities and municipalities across North America.

B. Cartegraph’s Operation Management System (OMS) for Pavement Management

Cartegraph OMS is built to support every network asset the City is responsible for. Featuring a bi- directional sync with the ArcGIS platform, Cartegraph OMS will serve as the single connection point for the City’s systems and data, including: customer service requests, work management, GIS, capital planning, fleet, and material management. This modern, web-based system integrates request, work, advanced asset, and resource management into one centralized system—accessible from a desktop, laptop, or mobile device. PROPOSAL FOR Sumter County Florida Pavement Management Services, RFQ 054-0-2019/RS

With Pavement we have many ways to manage assets from tracking attribute data, historical information, entering inspections and controlling maintenance. Cartegraph OMS has multiple ways to inspect pavement: (1) Cartegraph’s standard inspections, specific to your municipality; (2) use the Army Corps of Engineers standard methodology to create Pavement Condition Index (PCI) inspections; or (3) use a combination of both.

PCI is a numerical indicator that rates the surface of pavement. The PCI provides a measure of the present condition of the pavement based on the distress on the surface of the pavement, which also indicates the structural integrity and surface operational condition. It provides an objective and rational basis for determining maintenance and repair needs and priorities. Continuous monitoring of the PCI is used to establish the rate of pavement deterioration, which permits early identification of major rehabilitation needs. The PCI provides feedback on pavement performance for validation or improvement of current pavement design and maintenance procedures.

To achieve the objectives of this study, ERI has developed a comprehensive project approach for this project for Sumter County. This project approach will be modified with the help of city staff before the start of the project. The project approach includes the following tasks:

Task 1 & 2: Perform Pavement Data Collection of the Villages and Streets within Sumter County

Project Development

To initiate the project, a kickoff meeting will be held between ERI and the designated County staff to review the schedule, budget, key milestones, deliverables and other administrative items. This project kickoff meeting will be held at the County’s office and during this meeting, specifics on the employed pavement data collection and data analysis methods will be reviewed. Other items that will be discussed during the meeting include the ongoing or active paving programs, construction projects and/or other public works related activities. This information will be used in the development of the project mission plan. Any revisions to the project schedule will be provided to the County within one (1) week after the project kick-off meeting.

PROPOSAL FOR Sumter County Florida Pavement Management Services, RFQ 054-0-2019/RS

Background Data Collection and Data Review

ERI will obtain the necessary information from the County and review the County’s existing road inventory information very carefully and will identify any inconsistencies in the data or any missing data required to meet County’s primary objective.

The existing segmentation will be used to identify the road segments for field data collection. Therefore, it is very important that the County’s current road inventory database and centerline shapefile is up-to-date. This includes changes to existing road alignments due to recent developments, changes to road functional classification (rank), and any known changes to the inventory. It is crucial that a one-to-one relationship is maintained for each uniquely identified segment and that there is no duplicate identification of the County’s segments.

A considerable amount of basic pavement data is incorporated in the development of short and long-range maintenance and rehabilitation programs and budgets. If the required inventory data (Length, Width and Surface Type) is not readily available, ERI will work with the County in obtaining this information.

ERI team will review existing actual traffic counts data available for the County’s street network. When no traffic counts are available, we will assign an estimated average traffic data for each segment based on the functional classification.

Automated Pavement Condition Survey

ERI APDCVS platform combines a multitude of capabilities, including the following:  Pavemetrics LCMS-2: o Three-dimensional pavement imaging for automated detection of pavement distresses, such as cracks, potholes, raveling, rutting, faulting, drop-off, and macrotexture o Ride Quality, Pavement grade, cross slope and curvature  Ladybug 360-degree camera  GoCator Line Laser Profiler o IRI measurements o NCAT certification  32KHz Spot Laser (0.5 mm spot size as per ASTM E1845) o MPD calculation for Macrotexture  Applanix POS LV 420  Geophysical Survey Systems, Inc. (GSSI) SIR 30 GPR o Pavement thickness data collection at highway speed

PROPOSAL FOR Sumter County Florida Pavement Management Services, RFQ 054-0-2019/RS

The LCMS-2 data collection is collected continuously on all selected County street assets. Pavement roughness information, such as international roughness index (IRI), will be calculated at specific intervals, with linear segmentation aligning with the County’s GIS roadway network. In addition to collecting detailed pavement-specific attributes, ERI has the capability to leverage the roadway collected data to perform a full inventory of a number of roadside assets. Roadway 360-degree panoramic imagery can be used to provide highly-accurate relative measurements of visible roadside characteristics, which include guardrail, signs, sign assemblies, signals, barriers, pavement markings, rumble strips, shoulders, curb ramps, lighting, etc.

The data reduction process will include:  Linear and spatial referencing and validation  Correction of any start/end limits according to supplied data collection master lists and supplied shape files  Process the pavement images using the automated crack detection software  Further Process roadway distress information using ASTM D6433-18  Classify and create tables of distress information PROPOSAL FOR Sumter County Florida Pavement Management Services, RFQ 054-0-2019/RS

 Process Road Profile Measurements  Post-process longitudinal and transverse profile data for IRI, faulting and rut information  Map the Pavement Condition data (distresses and PCI) to County street segments and submit the data in Geodatabase format

ERI’s top of the line ICC Connect software that utilize the automated crack analysis software/techniques will reduce subjective analysis of manual image review. Therefore, it provides the County the best alternative to traditional manual surveys. The software will record the lengths, areas, and positions of distresses. ERI has six (6) such imaging workstation setups which are network ready in our office in Savoy, IL.

ICC Connect Software Interface

ICC Connect uses a spatially-enabled central repository to manage the pavement condition data collected in the field. All collected data is synchronized and made accessible through easy-to-understand views, unlocking its potential so that users have confidence in the processing results and analytical decisions they make. Combined with a comprehensive set of data reporting tools, users no longer have to manipulate and transform data by building a complex sequence of database queries and scripts, thereby minimizing the chances for human error to occur.

After data is collected in the field and uploaded to the office environment, it is imported using ICC Connect. The import process creates mappings to the data so that users do not need to keep track of where the data is stored on the server(s). At this stage, the major data processing tasks also occur, such as generation of right-of-way and pavement image streams; calculation of profile, roughness, rutting, texture, cross-slope, grade, and curvature; detection of cracks, lane-markings, man-made objects, and other distresses. Once completed, the data can be checked for quality, with changes made and saved, some of which may trigger additional reprocessing of the original data. Collected data can be matched to one or multiple road networks ensuring that data is reported accurately against the network which is critical in ensuring consistency of reported data from year to year.

Once image processing and pavement condition metrics computation is complete, ERI will integrate the pavement condition data into the most current PAVERTM database. Our team has developed efficient post-processing procedures to translate this highly-detailed data into useable information products, and to load into the PAVER software. This process is performed on a network-level, providing reliable and consistent results that will be PROPOSAL FOR Sumter County Florida Pavement Management Services, RFQ 054-0-2019/RS

configured based on the specific project needs and local pavement conditions. Our experienced team has built and continues to improve upon our streamlined data processing and project delivery system with focus on innovation, quality and efficiency. PAVERTM software provides robust functionality including industry standard attributes, libraries, and condition assessment data compliant with ASTM-6433-18.

ERI has extensive and proven experience with roadway data collection and processing; but we stress that data collection is only part of the formula to success. The other part is a comprehensive and thorough quality control process to confirm that the collected and processed data is of the highest quality possible. ERI believes in a four (4) phase approach to pavement data collection quality control. These steps include:  High quality data collection – All data collection activities will be conducted only after daily equipment verification and calibration operations are successfully completed and only in weather conditions suitable to produce optimum quality roadway condition data, video imagery, IRI, and rut measurements. All survey activities will be halted in cases where the pavement surface accumulates any standing water.  Visual inspection of the collected images – All images (collected using the APDCVS) are geo referenced. ERI utilizes a comprehensive field-based quality assessment approach which allows corrective action to be taken while the field crew and vehicle are still in the area if data quality issues are identified (sensor errors, substandard, or missing data). Deficient field data not detected until the post-processing or reporting phases introduces the potential for sub-standard client deliverables, which is not acceptable.  Network-wide quality control – As part of ERI’s post-processing effort, data collected from the APDCVS is loaded into a single Structured Query Language (SQL) database through ICC Connect application. As such, the ERI team can perform network level analysis and the pavement distress data can be delivered in the format, or rolled up and summarized to County’s defined pavement segments.  Visual inspection of the pavement distress information – A critical aspect of the quality control process includes verification of the pavement distresses identified by the automated and semi- automated/manual procedures. Conditions are measured in a consistent manner. Pavement condition assessment through visual assessment requires a trained eye and many years of experience to yield consistent and proper results. The ERI staff includes experienced pavement engineers that can confirm pavement conditions as collected through the automated process. Survey data will be backed up and analyzed daily using ERI’s QA procedures to ensure complete data quality.

Task 3: Development of 5 Year Pavement Management Program

The objectives of the pavement management program are to assess maintenance needs, evaluate rehabilitation strategies and treatments, establish estimated costs for maintenance and repair and recommend the order of priority for phasing work. The multi-year road preservation, maintenance and rehabilitation program should be designed to maintain the pavement network in a good to excellent condition at the minimum cost for the County. Field experience and research have clearly shown that the most cost-effective M&R strategy is to maintain pavements in good condition first

ERI will work with the County to customize the software for the specific practice and procedures currently in use. The customization will reflect the County road repair and maintenance programs, policies and practices. This will include the recommendation and selection of appropriate treatments such as reconstruction, reclamation, hot-in- place paving, mill and overlays, overlays, micro surfacing, crack seals, or other methods that are appropriate for the County. Unit costs from most recent paving and crack sealing projects will be collected from the County. Additionally, software should prioritize repair projects in the County or a specific area of the County based on PCI, traffic data, life-cycle benefit cost analysis, available budget, and management goals. Our comprehensive review of the County’s PAVER pavement management configuration will include the following:

 Pavement maintenance and pavement preservation policies that address localized preventive/preservation, localized safety and global preventive/preservation maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) requirements will be reviewed.  Knowledge about the historic and future condition of the pavement is required for inspection scheduling, PROPOSAL FOR Sumter County Florida Pavement Management Services, RFQ 054-0-2019/RS

life cycle costing, benefit analysis and budget optimization. Individual pavement condition prediction models for each surface type will also be reviewed based on the previous and current PCI and the pavement current construction history data.

 The current relationships between PCI vs. localized preventive maintenance cost and PCI vs. M&R cost will be reviewed based on the local M&R cost data for each zone within the County street network. These relationships and M&R decision trees will also be reviewed as part of this task.

 Based on the PCI data, pavement condition prediction models, M&R policies and M&R Cost vs PCI relationships ERI will prepare budget needs and funding scenario analysis and reporting templates, including select budget scenarios will be investigated in consultation with the County staff. Few typical budget scenarios that we analyze for our clients are; Keep funding current level, add moderate funding relative to current levels, invest sufficient funds to meet potential performance targets and no funding restraints/eliminate backlog

 M&R program will also include analysis and descriptions of the effects of several different budget scenarios on the total network, including but not limited to what funding would be needed to bring the system PCI to 80 or above in 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, and to run fixed budgets determined by the County.

Task #4 Setup Paver database, update inventory, GIS mapping, supplemental programing to automate processes and integrate into the County’s Cityworks Work Program.

Task #5 Miscellaneous services that may or may not include geo-technical services or training for County staff.
