NATIONAL CITY
1) Project Implementation
TASK 1.1: Pavement Management - Project Kickoff
The first step in implementing a successful pavement management program truly resides
in frequent communication and timely scheduled data updates. For the City of National
City it will be essential to establish, up front, the Public Works/Maintenance 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 to the
street/sign/storm network, section ID management & 103 miles of street surveys
(Arterials, Locals and Alleys), finalization of the scope of work and the review of schedule.
This effort will build consensus between the Street Maintenance and Engineering
departments as well as build stronger ARTERIAL and LOCAL maintenance programs. The
first key topics to be discussed will include the review and assessment of the existing
MicroPAVER pavement plan/data, TransNet compliance, and survey areas based on
recent maintenance work and schedules, new construction, data quality and condition,
current pavement procedures, historical expenditure levels, and desired service levels.
Deliverable: Meeting minutes, revised project schedule (if necessary)
TASK 1.2: Project Status Meetings - Quality Control Program
Status Meetings and Progress Reports
• Minimum of three meetings during the project (kickoff, field, and status
meetings) — minimum of eight (8) hours;
• Field review meetings;
• Monthly progress status reports will be delivered to City project manager.

Quality Control (QC)
We will use a statistical sampling approach for measuring the quality of our field
technician's work. In this manner, 10 percent of the original annual surveys will be re-
surveyed by an independent survey crew, supervised by a field supervisor, and the results
will be compared to the original surveys (this will include 10 miles of arterial/local QC).
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. PCI variance reporting will be performed where previous 2011 PCI data will be
compared to newly inspected 2020 PCI data; if PCI's vary more than ten (10) points per
year Bucknam staff will assess the potential cause through unrecorded work history,
accelerated pavement deterioration, etc. Bucknam will record/log any discrepancies
between the previous and current PMP databases (any corrections/changes to the
database shall not be made without prior City staff approval).
Since we are collecting distress information on our field Tablets with the National City
MicroPAVER database live, our staff will perform several quality control tests within the
pavement management software using a sample set of the City of National City's street
distress data. This will ensure that all system and analysis settings as well as City
recommendations and standards are being followed.
Over the past year, Bucknam has submitted twenty-two (45) compliant PMP reports for
San Diego, Orange and LA local agencies, they include:

4) Scope of Work (Major Tasks)
TASK 4.1: MicroPAVER PMP Implementation / Update Work History
Bucknam will establish a National City Pavement Management database by utilizing the Army
Corps of Engineers "MicroPAVER" software. If the City elects to either purchase MicroPAVER or
utilize Bucknam's license our staff will create all pavement segmentation for the City's Arterial
and Local programs. Our staff will define all pavement segments utilizing ASTM D6433 standards
and will ensure that all publicly maintain streets are within the database. The City will provide
Bucknam with the current MS Excel -based PMP database being maintained by City staff. Our staff
will review this data and determine if it will suffice for establishing the basic cornerstone of the
National City PMP street segmentation.
Based on the pavement M&R activities that has been performed by in-house staff as well as
contractual maintenance, our staff will review all street activities that have been performed
during the past four years. This data will be entered into MicroPAVER to enhance the
recommendations for the upcoming budgetary analysis and CIP reporting.
Deliverable: Citywide Work History Report
TASK 4.2: Conduct Pavement Condition Survey
Once the pavement segmentation has been assessed and
verified, the inspection of 111 Arterial, Local and Alley miles will
be performed.
Our survey methodologies will include the following approach
based on the City's cost and benefit analysis:
1. Walking - All sections are surveyed through
walking/windshield methodologies. Distress types will
be collected based upon actual surface conditions and
physical characteristics of the segment.
2. Surveying methods will be conducted by remaining consistent with MicroPAVER & the
ASTM D6433-18 sampling guidelines while being flexible to current City requirements.
All sample locations are observed through walking surveys; additional street factors such
as unique distress areas found outside our sample areas will be recorded. As requested
by National City staff, pavement sections to be surveyed for the upcoming 2020 PMP
update are as follows:
• The inspection of approximately 103 miles of MPAH Arterial and Local segments will
be performed;

• The inspection of approximately 8 miles of Alley segments will be performed;
• Recent overlay maintenance will reduce total mileage of survey - TBD
Our staff will establish all inspection sample locations for survey based on ASTM PMP guidelines;
Surveys are quality controlled with field operations during each week of inspection.
Our use of MicroPAVER-Tablet units allows our staff to collect pavement data with the City of
National City'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 the project schedule
and 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:
1. Field Attribute Data (updated and/or verified)
•:• From/to, indicating the assigned limits of the section, sample test areas, street name,
Street ranking indicating local, arterial, collector, # of lanes, surface type
•:• Historical PCI tracking from previous inspections and 2020 PCI inspections
❖ Segment quantities, indicating the length, width, and total true area of the section
❖ Pavement segment and PCI "Variance" analysis and report
❖ ADT volumes (if available from previous reports or current City documents)
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), taking into account the surface condition, level of distress
We welcome staff from the City to join our surveys. All pavement data will be entered into the
City's purchased licensed software (version 7); Bucknam will assist with the purchase. If the City
elects to not purchase the software Bucknam will utilize their own licensed version of MicroPAVER
to complete the project. All items listed above will be maintained by our staff for the duration of
this project. Data management will be performed in-house at our Oceanside office.

Upon 50% and 100% completion of the required condition surveys, we will prepare draft PCI
Reports and PCI GIS maps that document the conditions of all pavement segments. This report
will provide the necessary information within MicroPAVER for the City to use and manipulate
projected street rehabilitation and maintenance projects.
Included in the report will be updated pavement performance curves and maintenance decision
models. The City and our staff will review the PCI reports to ensure that all inventory data is
correct and the project is running smoothly.

TASK 4.3: Maintenance & CIP/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, Geotech reports and other maintenance practices
used we will conduct an historical and prospective analysis on the conditional and financial impact
these 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 projected five-year CIP/maintenance programs.
We will establish/update a maintenance "decision tree" that will be used to generate pavement
recommendations that match current fiscal year maintenance approaches/City practices. This will
be accomplished by assessing/updating the unique and individual PCI ranges and deterioration
curves within MicroPAVER based on functional class (i.e. arterial, collector, local) and age.
Our staff will review the National City's deterioration curves that have been developed based on
historical pavement condition, inspection, surface type, and road class. The curves will be modified
based on current 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.
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 Project Manager and Principal will work closely with City in defining repair and rehabilitation
strategies during each fiscal year and within each maintenance zone defined by the City's local
preventative maintenance schedule. Once the repair/rehabilitation strategies have been defined,
the identification of a five year Forecasted Maintenance schedule will be generated.
The recommended budget scenarios will be identified on the basis of several criteria:
• Assessment and review of the City's Pavement CIP
• Present pavement conditions; Desired levels of service and available resources
• Projected / Forecasted PCI's per section
• Cost benefit of individual strategies (e.g. maintain PCI in 5-years, etc.)
• Scheduling with the City's major CIP projects (water, sewer, etc.)
• Budgetary recommendations that satisfy TransNet guidelines
• Future routine maintenance needs based on projected deterioration rates
• City funds, SB1, TransNet objectives in improving citywide weighted PCI
The primary emphasis of this task is to maximize the scheduling of street maintenance 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 report will include an executive
summary, the PCI Report as well as draft budgetary findings and recommendations.
Deliverable: Two copies of the Draft Pavement Management Program Report
TASK 4.4: Citywide Forecasted Maintenance & CIP Reports
We will deliver the Final Report to the City which will be essential for staff 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 TransNet.
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 provide
the City with information on:

documents, MicroPAVER .e70 PMP database and GIS files.
TASK 4.5: Mapping and GIS Update
As an enhancement and proactive approach to this project, our staff will create and publish a
Pavement-GIS link between MicroPAVER data and the City's Enterprise system. Bucknam will
utilize the City's existing GIS centerline file as a starting point for the development of the PMP-GIS
layer(s). By using the unique lD's within the PMP and the City's ESRI street shapefile ID's, we will
create a one-to-one match for each pavement section in the GIS. All pavement segmentation
within the PMP database will be mirrored within the National City GIS layer which will allow all
pavement data to be published on the GIS layer.

• Filter for pavement sections within a defined zone, PCI range and/or functional class;
• Select a pavement section or grouping of section through the on -board GIS tool;
• Displays all final GIS project maps (PCI, work history, 10-yr forecasted maintenance, etc.)
TASK 4.7: MicroPAVER / My Roads Training
With PMP software use being one of the key components to a successful PMP implementation,
we will provide City staff with quality, certified training and the necessary skills needed to
maintain the PMP. Bucknam will provide City staff with all collected pavement/GIS data, as well
as updated operation manuals for both field data collection and software use. Based on the
number of future users, our staff will deliver as many copies as needed by City staff to facilitate
the program.
Peter Bucknam, who is certified in the use of MicroPAVER, will conduct comprehensive multi -day
training sessions covering implementation, interfacing with the system, PMP methodologies, field
survey practices, PCI calculations, budget needs analysis and editing/updating the database. This
is estimated to consist of a minimum of 8 hours of training.
Training typically involves one (1) day of training on the PMP software and GIS linkages. There is
no minimum or maximum amount of people that can be trained under this methodology. We can

currently located throughout the City.
Through our discussions with City staff we have indicated that we will provide the following
assessment/condition inventories:
• Perform a Sign Inventory based upon previous 5,500 locations to ensure data accuracy,
reliability and use;
a. Survey will include all Warning, Regulator, Guide and City Specialty signs
b. Identify and locate additional signs not recorded in FY 2012
c. Verify / Correct existing sign location data
Bucknam will perform a digital
roadway imaging effort (Lambda
Tech's GPS Vision) within the
designated grid schedule/areas that
captures public street images through
bi-directional surveys). This effort will
not only allow the baseline sign
survey to be completed but will
enable the City to perform future
inventories for additional street &
right-of-way traffic control assets,
utilities and other key ROW elements for
this project with only one survey (i.e., street striping, catch basins, manholes, curb markings, etc.).
All digital imagery becomes property of the City. Bucknam will utilize internal "Feature Extraction"
software to view the digital images and collect the defined traffic control assets listed under this
task.
GPSVision" =—=
The quality of the imagery and its GIS / record collecting capabilities within the software allows
the technician to accurately identify the required sign/traffic control locations defined (X, Y, Z
coordinate, height, size, etc.).
The in-house data assessment/condition inventories will be performed by the Bucknam team that
is experienced and trained in using LambdaTech's "Feature Extraction" software.
Definition of Sign & Curb Marking Attributes
Bucknam will be required to inventory specific sign and traffic control data; we have included
below the typical sign and traffic control attributes collected during our surveys.

Our Project Manager will work with Mr. Luca Zappiello in defining what attributes will be collected
and associated with each sign and traffic control device location. These attributes typically
include:
Street Sign / Curb Marking Inventory
o Warning, regulation and guide signs will be collected
• Emphasis on time -restrictive parking signs
o Street name signs will be collected (if required)
o Sign ID and # of signs
o MUTCD unique code
o Sign text, size and height
o Pole ID, Post type, post count, cluster (grouping)
o Street name, cross street, street side
o Condition (Poor, Fair, Good)
o Standardized comments (missing sign, bent pole, etc.)
o Curb Markings (blue, red, yellow, green and white)
Prior to survey, Bucknam will verify sign attributes with City staff. Each asset location will be
represented with a GPS point based on the assets definition. All inspection data is captured within
the Feature Extraction software and exported to ESRI GIS Enterprise software for quality control
and review. All data collected can easily be imported into Excel and ESRI Collector/ ArcGIS Online
software's (CPU and field collectors).
As stated above, we perform quality control in order to ensure that sign and curb marking
locations are being displayed properly
within the City's GIS environment. We
will make sure that all sign and traffic
control elements are projected with
the proper coordinate and projection
system; the City's street centerline
and parcel layer will be used for this
effort. Weekly quality control is
performed and our results are
submitted to the City every two
weeks.

As stated, all data collected through the Feature Extraction software wi I be exported to a sign
database for management review and eventual delivery to the City. Initially, all sign and traffic
control data will reside within a MS Excel database and GIS shapefiles for City use.
It is our understanding the City is currently managing their GIS through ESRI Flexviewer, Bucknam
will provide the updated traffic control sign data to the City in the proper format to ensure its
validity and use. This will be completed by working with current GIS/IT staff.
TASK 4.10: GIS Integration of Sign /Curb Marking Assets
Once data collection efforts are completed, we will generate the following GIS integration and
mapping/reporting deliverables for the City's review and approval:
:• Sign inventory report (Excel) demonstrating all signs that were located along with their
associated attribute data
o Sign inventory GIS map demonstrating all signs that were located
• Sign condition map
■ Sign type (warning, regulation, guide and specialty)
• Sign Map Atlas Book
+ Electronic data delivery final MS Office and GIS file data associated with project;
We will coordinate electronic data delivery with Public Works and GIS staff to ensure that
all GIS mapping is projecting properly within the ESRI GIS Enterprise environment;

Explanation
2. Agreement
3. Resolution
Explanation
On October 16, 2012, the City of National City entered into an agreement with Bucknam
Infrastructure Group, Inc., (Bucknam) to create a Pavement Management Program and
perform the street sign inventory. The City was pleased with the comprehensive and
efficient work performed by Bucknam.
At this time, the Engineering/Public Works Department desires to enter in a new
agreement with Bucknam and use a "Piggyback Contract" that Bucknam has with the City
of South Pasadena in order to update the current Pavement — Traffic .Control
Management Program Services (Exhibit - A). In this case the City will benefit by using the
same unit price that was used to award the contract in the City of South Pasadena.
National City Municipal Code, Section 2.60.260 provides authority to the purchasing
agent to join with other public jurisdictions to take advantage of cooperative purchasing
opportunities, including but not limited to any federal, state . or local agency pricing
program or structure that is determined by the purchasing agent to allow a procurement
that is in the best interests of the City. The purchasing agent may buy directly from a
vendor at a price established through competitive bidding by another public agency
whose procedures have been determined by the purchasing agent to be in substantial
compliance with the City's procurement procedures, irrespective of the contracting limits
of that jurisdiction or agency, even if the City had not initially joined with that public agency
in the cooperative purchase.
Staff has confirmed that the City of South Pasadena's Public Works Department contract
with Bucknam was obtained through a Request For Proposal. The City of South
Pasadena's procurement procedures are in substantial compliance with those in National
City. On December 19, 2019, the City of South Pasadena entered into a one year
agreement with Bucknam for the update of the Pavement Management Program (PMP),
to develop a GIS-Based Asset Management System and integrating the PMP with other
City asset information.
Therefore, staff recommends that City Council authorize the Mayor to execute an
Agreement with Bucknam Infrastructure Group, Inc. in order to update the current
Pavement — Traffic Control Management Program Services, effective December 1, 2020
until November 30, 2021, for an amount not -to -exceed $99,920.00 by piggybacking onto
the City of South Pasadena's Professional Services Contract.

1) Project Implementation
TASK 1.1: Pavement Management - Project Kickoff
The first step in implementing a successful pavement management program truly resides
in frequent communication and timely scheduled data updates. For the City of National
City it will be essential to establish, up front, the Public Works/Maintenance 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 to the
street/sign/storm network, section ID management & 103 miles of street surveys
(Arterials, Locals and Alleys), finalization of the scope of work and the review of schedule.
This effort will build consensus between the Street Maintenance and Engineering
departments as well as build stronger ARTERIAL and LOCAL maintenance programs. The
first key topics to be discussed will include the review and assessment of the existing
MicroPAVER pavement plan/data, TransNet compliance, and survey areas based on
recent maintenance work and schedules, new construction, data quality and condition,
current pavement procedures, historical expenditure levels, and desired service levels.
Deliverable: Meeting minutes, revised project schedule (if necessary)
TASK 1.2: Project Status Meetings - Quality Control Program
Status Meetings and Progress Reports
• Minimum of three meetings during the project (kickoff, field, and status
meetings) — minimum of eight (8) hours;
• Field review meetings;
• Monthly progress status reports will be delivered to City project manager.

Quality Control (QC)
-cALIFGFINIA,
NATION#LCITy
IACuRyua.n;n ..
We will use a statistical sampling approach for measuring the quality of our field
technician's work. In this manner, 10 percent of the original annual surveys will be re-
surveyed by an independent survey crew, supervised by a field supervisor, and the results
will be compared to the original surveys (this will include 10 miles of arterial/local QC).
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. PCI variance reporting will be performed where previous 2011 PCI data will be
compared to newly inspected 2020 PCI data; if PCI's vary more than ten (10) points per
year Bucknam staff will assess the potential cause through unrecorded work history,
accelerated pavement deterioration, etc. Bucknam will record/log any discrepancies
between the previous and current PMP databases (any corrections/changes to the
database shall not be made without prior City staff approval).
Since we are collecting distress information on our field Tablets with the National City
MicroPAVER database live, our staff will perform several quality control tests within the
pavement management software using a sample set of the City of National City's street
distress data. This will ensure that all system and analysis settings as well as City
recommendations and standards are being followed.
Over the past year, Bucknam has submitted twenty-two (45) compliant PMP reports for
San Diego, Orange and LA local agencies, they include:

TASK 4.1: MicroPAVER PMP Implementation / Update Work History
Bucknam will establish a National City Pavement Management database by utilizing the Army
Corps of Engineers "MicroPAVER" software. If the City elects to either purchase MicroPAVER or
utilize Bucknam's license our staff will create all pavement segmentation for the City's Arterial
and Local programs. Our staff will define all pavement segments utilizing ASTM D6433 standards
and will ensure that all publicly maintain streets are within the database. The City will provide
Bucknam with the current MS Excel -based PMP database being maintained by City staff. Our staff
will review this data and determine if it will suffice for establishing the basic cornerstone of the
National City PMP street segmentation.
Based on the pavement M&R activities that has been performed by in-house staff as well as
contractual maintenance, our staff will review all street activities that have been performed
during the past four years. This data will be entered into MicroPAVER to enhance the
recommendations for the upcoming budgetary analysis and CIP reporting.
Deliverable: Citywide Work History Report
TASK 4.2: Conduct Pavement Condition Survey
Once the pavement segmentation has been assessed and
verified, the inspection of 111 Arterial, Local and Alley miles will
be performed.
Our survey methodologies will include the following approach
based on the City's cost and benefit analysis:
1. Walking - All sections are surveyed through
walking/windshield methodologies. Distress types will
be collected based upon actual surface conditions and
physical characteristics of the segment.
2. Surveying methods will be conducted by remaining consistent with MicroPAVER & the
ASTM D6433-18 sampling guidelines while being flexible to current City requirements.
All sample locations are observed through walking surveys; additional street factors such
as unique distress areas found outside our sample areas will be recorded. As requested
by National City staff, pavement sections to be surveyed for the upcoming 2020 PMP
update are as follows:
• The inspection of approximately 103 miles of MPAH Arterial and Local segments will
be performed;

3. Section Distress and PCI Reporting
Upon 50% and 100% completion of the required condition surveys, we will prepare draft PCI
Reports and PCI GIS maps that document the conditions of all pavement segments. This report
will provide the necessary information within MicroPAVER for the City to use and manipulate
projected street rehabilitation and maintenance projects.
Included in the report will be updated pavement performance curves and maintenance decision
models. The City and our staff will review the PCI reports to ensure that all inventory data is
correct and the project is running smoothly.
Our Report that will include:
❖ PCI report - Sorted by Name (A to Z), PCI Order (0-100), Zone (1, 2, 3, etc.)
• Pavement segment and PCI "Variance Report"
• Graphical representation of conditions
• Condition Report Analysis for each segment
• Work history report
❖ GIS Maps presenting PCI finding by zone and by section
Once the City has reviewed, assessed and commented on the draft report, we will address all
comments made and deliver the final reports.
Deliverable: Citywide PCI reports, compliant TransNet PCI reports, updated MicroPAVER
database
DEVELOP RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
TASK 4.3: Maintenance & CIP/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, Geotech reports and other maintenance practices
used we will conduct an historical and prospective analysis on the conditional and financial impact
these 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 projected five-year CIP/maintenance programs.
We will establish/update a maintenance "decision tree" that will be used to generate pavement
recommendations that match current fiscal year maintenance approaches/City practices. This will
be accomplished by assessing/updating the unique and individual PCI ranges and deterioration
curves within MicroPAVER based on functional class (i.e. arterial, collector, local) and age.
Our staff will review the National City's deterioration curves that have been developed based on
historical pavement condition, inspection, surface type, and road class. The curves will be modified
based on current 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.
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 Project Manager and Principal will work closely with City in defining repair and rehabilitation
strategies during each fiscal year and within each maintenance zone defined by the City's local
preventative maintenance schedule. Once the repair/rehabilitation strategies have been defined,
the identification of a five year Forecasted Maintenance schedule will be generated.
The recommended budget scenarios will be identified on the basis of several criteria:
• Assessment and review of the City's Pavement CIP
• Present pavement conditions; Desired levels of service and available resources
• Projected / Forecasted PCI's per section
• Cost benefit of individual strategies (e.g. maintain PCI in 5-years, etc.)
• Scheduling with the City's major CIP projects (water, sewer, etc.)
• Budgetary recommendations that satisfy TransNet guidelines
• Future routine maintenance needs based on projected deterioration rates
• City funds, SB1, TransNet objectives in improving citywide weighted PCI
The primary emphasis of this task is to maximize the scheduling of street maintenance 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 report will include an executive
summary, the PCI Report as well as draft budgetary findings and recommendations.
Deliverable: Two copies of the Draft Pavement Management Program Report
TASK 4.4: Citywide Forecasted Maintenance & CIP Reports
We will deliver the Final Report to the City which will be essential for staff 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 TransNet.
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 provide
the City with information on:

documents, MicroPAVER .e70 PMP database and GIS files.
TASK 4.5: Mapping and GIS Update
As an enhancement and proactive approach to this project, our staff will create and publish a
Pavement-GIS link between MicroPAVER data and the City's Enterprise system. Bucknam will
utilize the City's existing GIS centerline file as a starting point for the development of the PMP-GIS
layer(s). By using the unique ID's within the PMP and the City's ESRI street shapefile ID's, we will
create a one-to-one match for each pavement section in the GIS. All pavement segmentation
within the PMP database will be mirrored within the National City GIS layer which will allow all
pavement data to be published on the GIS layer.

TASK 4.7: MicroPAVER / My Roads Training
With PMP software use being one of the key components to a successful PMP implementation,
we will provide City staff with quality, certified training and the necessary skills needed to
maintain the PMP. Bucknam will provide City staff with all collected pavement/GIS data, as well
as updated operation manuals for both field data collection and software use. Based on the
number of future users, our staff will deliver as many copies as needed by City staff to facilitate
the program.
Peter Bucknam, who is certified in the use of MicroPAVER, will conduct comprehensive multi -day
training sessions covering implementation, interfacing with the system, PMP methodologies, field
survey practices, PCI calculations, budget needs analysis and editing/updating the database. This
is estimated to consist of a minimum of 8 hours of training.
Training typically involves one (1) day of training on the PMP software and GIS linkages. There is
no minimum or maximum amount of people that can be trained under this methodology. We can
train one key individual or an entire classroom using a City training facility pending on your needs;

Our staff will utilize the existing street / pavement database and GIS centerline layers to define
what streets will be surveyed (public/private); the inspection of approximately 111 miles of
streets will be performed (Arterial, Locals and Alleys). In reviewing the traffic control inventory
data provided by City staff, we are approximating that a total of 5,S00 (+/- 1,000) signs are
currently located throughout the City.
Through our discussions with City staff we have indicated that we will provide the following
assessment/condition inventories:
• Perform a Sign Inventory based upon previous 5,500 locations to ensure data accuracy,
reliability and use;
a. Survey will include all Warning, Regulator, Guide and City Specialty signs
b. Identify and locate additional signs not recorded in FY 2012
c. Verify / Correct existing sign location data
Bucknam will perform a digital
roadway imaging effort (Lambda
Tech's GPS Vision) within the
designated grid schedule/areas that
captures public street images through
bi-directional surveys). This effort will
not only allow the baseline sign
survey to be completed but will
enable the City to perform future
inventories for additional street &
right-of-way traffic control assets,
utilities and other key ROW elements for
this project with only one survey (i.e., street striping, catch basins, manholes, curb markings, etc.).
All digital imagery becomes property of the City. Bucknam will utilize internal "Feature Extraction"
