Approval of this recommended action will allow the City to retain professional services for updating the City's Pavement Management Program (PMP). The PMP is an essential tool in determining the condition, expected life, recommended improvements, and associated costs of the City's pavement assets. The program enables the City to prioritize pavement rehabilitation projects where they are most cost effective. In addition, an updated PMP is required for the City to remain eligible for Measure M2 funding programs, and to allow a reduced local match requirement for using those funds. On October 14, 2015, the Public Works Agency released a Request for Proposals (RFP) on the City's website for updating the City's Pavement Management Program. Five letters of intent were received on October 23, 2015, and three proposals were received on October 29, 2015. The proposals were evaluated and ranked by a review committee comprised of personnel from the Public Works Agency. Ranking criteria included firm and personnel experience, understanding of need, relevant project experience, references, and proposal fee. The rating of the firms is as follows: NAME OF FIRM RATING Bucknam Infrastructure Group, Inc. 90.4 Dynatest Consulting Inc. 70.6 The Barnhardt Group 64.9 The proposal by Bucknam Infrastructure Group, Inc., contains adequate labor efforts to complete the required services.

Our QC process involves checking the field crews' work in a "blind study" fashion. Quality control checks will be performed at the end of each survey week. This will ensure that all field personnel are properly collecting distresses and pavement quantities for all street segments. Since we are collecting distress information on our field Tablets with the Santa Ana MicroPAVER database live, our staff will perform several quality control tests within the pavement management software using a sample set of the City of Santa Ana's street distress data. This will ensure that all system and analysis settings as well as City recommendations and standards are being followed. As shown within the OCTA "Countywide Pavement Management Program, Guidelines Manual (January 2015) ", our staff will follow and deliver on the requirements stated on Section 2.4, pages 8 & 9 which require specific QA /QC data (Items A through G). Additionally, Chapter 3 requires numerous data /deliverables from local agencies for Measure M2 eligibility. All general draft and final reporting will follow the Chapter 3 Over the past year, Bucknam has already submitted sixteen (16) OCTA Measure M2 compliant reports for OC municipalities, they include Santa Ana, Seal Beach, Brea, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Laguna Hills, Fountain Valley, Irvine, Aliso Viejo Laguna Niguel, San Juan, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, RSM, Tustin and Westminster. Our surveys follow the accepted OCTA walking requirements. A copy of the QA /QC plan utilized by our staff during the project will be submitted along with the PMP certification rinn lmpntc Our staff has already attended the OCTA MicroPAVER Distress Training Class held in November, 2011, 2012, 2013. In February, 2013 our staff was considered prequalified to prepare Pavement Management Plans fully compliant with the OCTA Countywide Pavement Management Guidelines (contact Mr. Harry Thomas / OCTA for details).

Client satisfaction will derive from frequent communication with the 3 -2 25D -13 Understanding of Need / Scope of Work Project Manager and key staff members from the Engineering and Street Maintenance departments. Project success is created by delivering on three main factors; 1) Adherence to scope tasks and deliverables 2) Performing to the standard set by the Project Schedule; and 3) Controlling costs. Our Project Manager will follow each of these factors throughout the duration of the project Deliverable: Project Status Updates, as stated in Task 1.2 TASK 1.2: Update Maintenance and Rehabilitation History Bucknam will review all city provided maintenance projects that have been completed since the last major PMP update (i.e. 2014). These records will be assessed and entered into MicroPAVER. Our staff will generate an updated work history report for City review and compliance. The City will provide Bucknam with the most recent PAVER 7.0 database (.e70 file). Deliverable: Citywide Work History Report TASK 13: Conduct pavement Condition Survey Once the pavement segmentation has been assessed and verified, the inspection of approximately 105 MPAH centerline miles will be performed per ASTM D6433 -11 and OCTA guidelines. City of Santa Ana Street System Network: MPAH —105 centerline miles (2016 survey) o Survey will exclude private streets, Orange County unincorporated areas and State Highways o Recently slurry seal and overlay maintenance will reduce the amount of necessary survey, Bucknam will coordinate mileage and cost reduction with City prior to survey o For FY 2016 Santa Ana is only required to survey their MPAH pavement sections Our survey methodologies will include the following approach based on the City's cost and benefit analysis: 1. Walking (Recommended) based MicroPAVER / ASTM D6433 -11 survey (performed on Tablets live in the field); this survey methodology is required by OCTA. Our staff will establish all inspection sample locations for survey based on MicroPAVER / OCTA January 2016 guidelines. 3 -3 25D -14 Understanding of Need / Scope of Work (a 2. Automated Digital Roadway Imaging (Optional Task 4.1) survey; Bucknam has recently performed this service for the cities of Fountain Valley, Cypress, RSM, Santa Ana, La Habra Heights, Tustin, National City and Palm Desert for PIMP and ROW inspections. MicroPAVER sampling method used. 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 will use the City's GIS centerline live in the field to reduce survey times and project schedules. If the City has a recent high- resolution aerial (approx. 3 ") we will use this file during our field survey efforts to verify street measurements and other segment attributes. Our use of MicroPAVER- Tablet units allows our staff to collect pavement data with the City of Santa Ana's MicroPAVER database live in the field. At the end of the day all electronic data is transferred to our office for quality control and management. Our Tablet methodology sets us apart from the competition since we are using a paper -less inventory process to enter data; this in turn generates cost savings to enhance other portions of the project such as CIP reporting, MicroPAVER training, and on -call services. Roadway Verification Survey -A listing of the field attribute data that is updated /verified during the survey for the pavement management database is listed below. Bucknam will obtain measurements of each streets width, length and surface classification and compare it to existing PAVER data. Discrepancies in the data will be tabulated and reviewed by Bucknam and the City prior to any update within PAVER. 1. Field Attribute Data (updated and /or verified) • From /to, indicating the assigned limits of the section, sample test areas, street name, a street codification (arranged west to east and south to north) • Street ranking indicating local, alley, arterial, collector, # of lanes, surface type • Historical PCI tracking from previous inspections and 2016 PCI inspections • Segment quantities, indicating the length, width, and total true area of the section • Pavement distresses compliant with MicroPAVER — OCTA guidelines (i.e. alligator cracking, block cracking, rutting, long /trans cracking, weathering, etc. • Provide City with "discrepancy report" indicating variances between field data collection and previous PIMP database 2. Conditional data will be evaluated for all street segments and will include: • MicroPAVER 20 AC & 19 PCC distresses by type, severity and sample area • PCI ratings (0 -100); per segment, per grid zone, per maintenance zone and citywide i Other known or found environmental issues (standing water, site condition, etc.) • Corrections / changes to the database shall not be made w/o prior City approval We welcome staff members from the City of Santa Ana to join our surveys. All pavement data will be entered into the City's most current licensed software (version 7.0.3). All items listed above will be maintained by our staff for the duration of this project. 3 -4 25D -15 Understanding of Need / Scope of Work ( �' Data management will be performed in -house at our Oceanside office. At the completion of the project, the MicroPAVER database will be placed within your information services /communication network. 3. Section Distress and PCI Reporting Once inspections are completed, we will generate a draft Pavement Condition Index (PCI) Report for City staff to review. PCI reports will include the necessary data listed within the Countywide Pavement Management Program, Guidelines Manual; Chapter 3 (Agency Submittals). At a minimum, the Santa Ana Pavement Condition Index (PCI) Report will include: • Present condition index per segment, per rank, per maintenance zone and citywide • Present condition of segments and future performance for the next seven years based on performance prediction modeling and local conditions • Identify the form, condition and causes of pavement failure (if possible) Deliverable: Citywide draft PCI report, Pavement segment data required within Chapter 3 MicroPAVER Guideline Manual (OCTA) TASK 1.4: Budgetary Analysis We will assist the City in developing the most cost - effective preventative maintenance, repair and rehabilitation strategies possible. This will be accomplished by meeting with the City to discuss and strategize maintenance activities that are currently being used by the City. Based on the City's current AC & PCC applications and other maintenance practices used we will conduct an historical and prospective analysis on the conditional and financial impact these current practices have on the pavement network. Based on our fiscal and deterioration analysis, we will present our results and recommendations to City staff. This analysis will become an essential building block for the 2016 -2023 fiscal year maintenance programs. We will establish a maintenance "decision tree" that will be used to generate pavement recommendations that match current 2016 maintenance approaches. This will be accomplished by assessing /updating the unique and individual deterioration curves within MicroPAVER based on functional class (i.e. arterial, collector, local), ride quality, traffic volumes and age. Our staff will review the Santa Ana's deterioration curves that have been developed based on historical pavement condition, inspection, surface type, MicroPAVER deterioration, and road class. The curves will be modified based on 2016 pavement conditions. The strategies that are typically reviewed are rehabilitation and reconstruction (R &R), localized maintenance, slurry seals, and various overlay types, the expected improvement in pavement condition, the life -cycle extension that would result and the unit costs for maintenance. 3 -5 25D -16 Understanding of Need / Scope of Work I a;N All maintenance practices /unit costs will be integrated into MicroPAVER and will be derived from the most recent construction bids for pavement rehabilitation. We will account for inflation rates when long -term revenues projections are made. Our staff will also update the City's residential maintenance zone approach. We will focus on projecting budgets and maintenance recommendations for all streets within maintenance zones; this will allow us to proactively schedule maintenance efforts throughout the multi -year CIP as well as achieve the desired level of PCI across the City. Our Project Manager and Principal will work closely with City in defining repair and rehabilitation strategies during each fiscal year and within each tract /area defined by the City (i.e. Maintenance zones 1 thru 4 have been completed, zone 5 is under construction and zone 6 is currently being bid out). Once the repair /rehabilitation strategies have been defined, the identification of a seven year Forecasted Maintenance schedule will be generated. The recommended budget scenarios will be identified on the basis of several criteria: • Present pavement conditions; Desired levels of service and available resources • Achieving Local Match Reduction guidelines identified by OCTA • Scheduling with the City's maintenance zones and other capital projects (water, sewer) • Accrued backlog levels and stabilization of maintenance backlog • Future routine maintenance needs based on projected deterioration rates 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. A working "draft" Final Report will be generated for City staff to review. The Draft and Final PIMP reports will include: • Executive Summary / Findings and Recommendations • Pavement Condition Index (PQ reports; • 7 -Year CIP identifying arterial and residential zone maintenance (per section) recommendations (slurry, overlay, recon, etc.) associated with a construction cost • GIS mapping Deliverable: Three copies of the Draft Pavement Management Program Report Optional Taslcs TASK 1.5: Final Report - OCTA Compliance Reports/ Citywide CIP Report Through our previous project experience with the City; internal staff has developed a comprehensive, reliable PMP report that is compliant with OCTA and internal needs. If necessary, Bucknam will deliver the Final Report to the City which will be essential for staff 3 -6 25D -17 Understanding of Need / Scope of Work reference and use as well as presented in a way that is beneficial for elected officials /upper management. This report will assist the City in complying with OCTA and its most recent Countywide PMP Guideline requirements. The report will be prepared in a format that uses the information delivered by MicroPAVER in conjunction with the information and analysis performed by our team. The report will also provide the City with information on: • Current inventory and pavement conditions indices (PCI) for all road classes • Projected annual rehabilitation programs for street maintenance for a 7 -yr period (ARTERIAL and LOCAL Forecast Maintenance Reports) that show the largest return on investment and acceptable levels of service • Modeling and comparison of budget scenarios typically include: • Maintenance required to complete all streets within 7 -years • Current/ Actual budget projection (citywide approach) • 7 -year CIP projection budget for OCTA submittal requirements • Final Local Match Reduction budgetary models / results • Strategies and recommendations for the City's AHRP, Measure M and maintenance programs and procedures, including a preventative maintenance schedule • Supporting documentation required by OCTA • A detailed breakdown of deferred maintenance (backlog) Our OCTA PMP submittals have been well received by OCTA and are formatted in such a way for easy review and acceptance. Our staff will include within the draft /final report the following minimum data: A) Average PCI for: a) Entire pavement network b) MPAH Roadways c) Local streets B) Projected PCI under existing funding levels over the next seven years for: a) Entire pavement network b) MPAH Roadways c) Local streets C) Seven -yr plan for road maintenance and rehabilitation, identifying street sections selected for treatment, based on the existing budget. a) Street name, limits of work, length, widths and pavement areas b) Functional classification c) PCI and most recent date of inspection 3 -7 25D -18 Understanding of Need / Scope of Work d) Type and cost of treatment D) Alternative funding levels required to: a) Maintain existing weighted average network PCI b) Improve weighted average network PCI E) Backlog by FY of unfunded pavement rehabilitation, restoration and reconstruction. Total amount of backlog will be included in summary tables F) Pavement Management Program Certification form We will make a presentation of the results from the 2016 PMP update to City personal and /or City Council if necessary (pro - bono). Registered Engineer Mr. Steve Bucknam, P.E. will supervise all operations, review all completed data and prepare and sign a final report incorporating the results of our pavement evaluation and conditions. We __will_pr_ovide_ engineered -recommendations for-pavement-rehabilitation and-replacement design_ based upon field data and analysis. Deliverable: Digital file on CD, one (1) hardcopy of the Final Pavement PMP, in binder and electronic form (.pdf), will be sent to the City. Bucknam will provide one (1) copy of MicroPAVER .e65 file on CD as well as all M &R, survey and budget analysis data. TASK 2.1 through 2.3 (Local Network): If needed and per the City's request, Local streets (317 centerline miles) will be surveyed. Our methodology for project administration, data assessment, pavement survey and reporting will be identical to the scope of work shown above for the MPAH network. TASK 3.1 through 3.3 (Alley Network): If needed and per the City's request, Alley streets (28 centerline miles) will be surveyed. Our methodology for project administration, data assessment, pavement survey and reporting will be identical to the scope of work shown above for the MPAH network. It is noted that work histories will be excluded from this effort. Additionally, the City has requested that the alley network /sections that are currently within the Santa Ana PAVER 6.5 database be cross - checked and verified against the City's GIS pavement layer. This effort will include the verification of alley segments, naming conventions, dimension accuracy and the organization of Branch / Section ID's in logical sequences (i.e. alphabetical, geographical, etc.). TASK 4.1: Automated Digital Roadway Imaging Bucknam has performed numerous digital roadway imaging survey throughout Southern Califnornia over the past fifteen years. Based on the City's infrastructure / GIS data collection 3 -8 25D -19 Understanding of Need / Scope of Work priorities we have performed digital imaging surveys for local agencies that complament our pavement inspections. Our services are a proactive and cost efficient GPS survey methodology that will allow for the collection of numerous GPS locations using "one" set of digital imagery (e.g. five citywide infrastructure surveys for the cost of one). We always tell our clients, regarding this task service, "It has to be the right fit at the right time'. If the City is looking to proactively collect numerous assets under one survey effort within the next 12 to 18 months, this is the solution. Beyond the pavement survey capabilities, the City will be able to collect other infrastructure assets in the future such as signs, driveways, catch basins and other ROW features; a tremendous costs savings that could reach $400,000 over the next 3 years. , rt* With verification of street segmentation, the inspection of approximately 105 centerline miles will be surveyed (or citywide). MicroPAVER - Army Corp of Engineers AC and PCC distress types will be collected based upon actual surface conditions and physical characteristics of the segment while being flexible to current City practices. Our automated digital imaging allows technician to collect the following: • Continuous pavement imaging (images taken every 5 meters, competition typically surveys at every 8 meters /25 feet intervals) • Surface roughness ratings (IRI); Rutting depth (full width of lane or street) • Imaging captures 100% of each pavement segment (not just one lane) • Data transfers seamlessly toMicroPAVER • 2mm pixel images allows for centimeter horizontal and vertical accuracy The first survey process will involve the mobile GPS vehicle taking approximately two - week's time to survey the Santa Ana's street network; additionally, the vehicles drive the posted speed limits. The images that are collected are taken by using Sony digital stereographic cameras (6 cameras) positioned on the vehicle. The images have a resolution of 1600x1200 and are geo- referenced by means of inertial GPS equipment contained within the van; images are taken every 4 to 6 meters, 15 ft. intervals. The quality of the imagery and its GIS / record collecting capabilities within the software provided allows the technician to accurately identify the required pavement distresses defined by the pavement software and the project (distresses are collected in- house). Survey vehicles are equipped with digital measuring instrumentation (DMI) that will be used to verify all pavement section lengths and widths. Our vehicles can be equipped with road roughness rating equipment, strip mapping cameras and are set to record 360 degree street imaging. The survey will be performed by the Bucknom team that is experienced and trained in infrastructure condition assessment using LambdaTech's "Feature Extraction" software. 3 -9 25D -20 Understanding of Need / Scope of Work LL General Requirements • Bucknam agrees that project work shall be performed in conformance with the City and OCTA's policies, procedures and standards • Bucknam shall have total responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of all inspections performed and documents prepared.
