DATE: May 9, 2014
SUBJECT:
A Resolution Authorizing the Director of Purchasing to Execute the Engineering Agreement with IMS Infrastructure Services, LLC
PURPOSE:
The city maintains approximately 450 miles of Residential & Minor Collector (MC) Streets and 110 miles of Major Collectors & Arterial Streets. In 2010, IMS Infrastructure Services, LLC (IMS) completed a Pavement Management Study to determine the condition of city streets. The data is 5 years old and a new study is required.
BACKGROUND:
IMS will determine the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) by utilizing their Road Surface Tester (RST) which collects automated pavement condition data by incorporating lasers, digital images and videos to objectively rate pavement conditions. The PCI and Pavement Management Software will be used to develop a data base of street conditions, strategies to efficiently maintain the street network and develop resurfacing lists to fit within the budget and resurfacing policies.
DISCUSSION:
The attached agreement includes a project schedule and fees for services that consist of condition survey, data collection, GIS Linkage, data processing and software support. In 2010, IMS completed 450 miles of Residential & MC streets for $85,000. The 2014 study will include surveying 560 miles (670 test miles) of Residential, MC, Major Collector and Arterial streets for a total cost of $114,425.00. Actual unit cost per mile are unchanged from the 2010 agreement and total overall cost per mile will decrease with the 2014 Agreement (Exhibit 'A').
The 2014 City Budget provides $114,425.00 for this item in account no. 340-4460-431.73-91.
IMPACT STATEMENT:
No Impact.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request the proposed resolution be adopted.
