Statement of Need 1.1. Pursuant to the Arizona Procurement Code, A.R.S. §41-2501 et seq., the State of Arizona Department of Transportation (Department), has a requirement for Airport Pavement Management System (APMS) Design/Construction and Administrative Management Services. 1.2. The Department is seeking the services of a qualified firm or individual (hereinafter referred to as Consultant) to provide APMS design, construction management and inspection services for projects identified at airports within the State of Arizona and APMS administrative, management, and technical services for the APMS program. 2. Introduction and Background 2.1. The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), Multimodal Planning Division, Aeronautics Group (hereinafter referred to as Department) seeks to promote safe airport operations and to ensure all types, kinds, and classes of aeronautical use exists to the benefit of the public. The Aeronautics Group has developed an APMS that includes all paved, public use airports. It is the basis for assigning Pavement Condition Index (PCI) numbers to pavement areas. This system will be managed in the Aeronautics Group with the information in the database available to all airports. APMS covers all of the public use airside pavements of the airports, excluding paved hangar areas. The Airport Pavement Management System (APMS) program aids with maintaining airport facilities across the State and aligns with the vision of the Aeronautics Group to provide an airport system that accommodates demand, supports economic and transportation needs, and maximizes funding resources. 2.2. Public Law 103-305 requires that airports requesting Federal AIP funding for pavement rehabilitation or reconstruction have an effective pavement maintenance management system. To this end, ADOT-MPD-Aeronautics Group has completed and is maintaining an Airport Pavement Management System (APMS) which, coupled with monthly pavement evaluations by the airport sponsors, fulfills this requirement. 2.3. Based on a triennial study of needs, approximately $5.5 million per year is funded to provide pavement maintenance treatments for between eight to twelve airports per year. 2.4. APMS projects consist of the following: 2.4.1. Rubberized asphalt emulsion seal coats with associated crack sealing. 2.4.2. Crack sealing alone (eligible item for porous friction course surfaces). 2.4.3. Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) pavement restoration (joint resealing only). 2.4.4. Thin (no greater than 2.0 in [51 mm]) hot-mix asphalt (HMA) overlays (with associated pre-overlay repair). 2.4.5. Replacement of existing pavement marking on aviation surfaces. 2.5. Airport sponsors that elect to participate in the program, sign a Grant Agreement (GRT) with the Department that dictates who will construct and/or administer the project. The Consultant will Solicitation No: BPM003264 Available online at Page 3 of 30 https://app.az.gov/ SCOPE OF WORK perform the design, construction management, inspection, testing, and quality control of each APMS project. 2.6.
