Approve Consultant Contract for Preparation of Pavement
Management Report - Project No. 99-4
A pavement management study is the systematic approach to determine maintenance
and repair needs and priorities for streets and highways. In 1999, the City contracted
with Howard R. Green Company to perform the inventory/evaluation phase of the
pavement management study for streets which are managed by the City of
Chanhassen. Firms submitting proposals at that time included SEH, BRW, and
Howard R. Green Company. The City entered into a contract with Howard R. Green
Company for the lump sump amount of$IO,148 and a not-to-exceed software support
amount of $3,600. Total expenditures to date represent the lump sum amount of
$10,148 for the pavement inventory and software support in the amount of$225. Of
the $3,600 previously approved for software support, $3,375 remains unexpended.
The total amount budgeted in Fund 400 in 1999 for the pavement management study
was $20,000.
A request for proposals was prepared for preparation of the pavement management
report and sent to the three firms who had originaHy responded to the request for
proposals for the inventory evaluation phase of the project.
· BRW has proposed to perform the work identified in the request for proposals on
an hourly basis for a total estimated not-to-exceed amount of $1 0,920.
· Howard R. Green Company has submitted a proposal to conduct the scope of
work in the request for proposals for an estimated fee of$II,712.
. SEH has declined to submit a proposal for preparation ofthe pavement
management report.
Since both firms submitting proposals are equally qualified to perform the services, I
recommend approval ofthe selection ofBRW, Inc. to perform the work outlined in
their proposal for preparation of the pavement management report for the total
estimated not-to-exceed amount of$10,920. Completion of the pavement
management report for $10,920 along with previously performed inventory and
evaluation work, and software assistance will result in a total cost of $21 ,293 for
overall preparation of the pavement management study. This represents a $1,293
amount above the original $20,000 budgeted in 1999.

Re: Request for Proposals - Preparation of Pavement Management Report
Project No. 99-4
Dear «Title» «LastName»:
The City of Chanhassen is hereby requesting a proposal from your firm for the
preparation of a pavement management report for the City's street system.
PROJECT HISTORY
The City of Chanhassen's Public W orksÆngineering Department has
implemented a pavement management program. The intent is to insure proper
management ofthe infrastructure investment in the street system. Howard R.
Green Company assisted the City in completing an inventory and evaluation of all
streets in 1999. The City selected APW A's MicroPaver program for the long-term
pavement management program. The inventory and evaluation of the existing
condition of City streets was completed utilizing a combination of City and
consultant staff. The City streets were evaluated using a surface condition rating
method that measures the severity of each type of pavement distress found within
a specific sample section. The method also quantifies the extent of the distress in
each sample section. This type of evaluation allowed the City to objectively
determine the pavement condition in each block. The survey data was entered
into the MicroPaver software to determine a score. The ratings range from zero to
100 with 100 being perfect. A five-year pavement rehabilitation program can be
developed by using the condition analysis and the maintenance portion of the
software. The program has the ability to use local cost factors and the
rehabilitation strategies that the City of Chanhassen uses. This type of program
will allow the City to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed rehabilitation on the
overall performance of the street network. The goal of the City is to maximize the
use of available public funds to maintain the street network at a specific level.

The scope of work outlines the work tasks required to develop a five-year
pavement rehabilitation program for the City.
Task No.1 - Maintenance, Rehabilitation and Reconstruction (MRR)
Strategies
The consultant will be required to meet with City staff to determine the specific
types of pavement MRR strategies used by Chanhassen and determine when each
type of activity is applied. The City will state the deciding factors with the City's
current MRR strategies. The process will include determining local costs related
to each type of repair. Decision matrices will be prepared and presented to the
City for final review. The consultant will be required to place the MRR decision
matrix in the MicroPaver software.
A typical work plan procedure will include several types of maintenance and
rehabilitation such as
· Localized stopgaps - (safety) applied to severe localized-rutting, potholes, etc.
· Localized preventives - be used to repair high severity fatigue cracking and
block cracking in small quantities.
· Global preventive strategies, including seal coats.
· Major repairs are used when a street is at or above an established critical
rating. This may include overlays, milling and overlaying, or other surface
reconstruction.
· Major - work used when a street is below an established critical rating. This
would include reconstruction.
When family assignments have been decided a priority table will be developed.
The priority table will help develop a ranking based on distress score ranges for
both collector and local streets.
Task No.2 - Development of Deterioration Models
Pavement condition models are critical elements of the pavement management
program. MicroPaver software uses several techniques for developing
deterioration models. The City will require the consultant to develop models that
are specific to the City based on the current database. Deterioration models will
be required for collector and local residential streets. The consultant will be
provided with an electronic copy of the MicroPaver database prepared in the
inventory and evaluation stage of the pavement management program. The
«Title» «FirstName» «LastName»
January 31,2000
Page 3
consultant will be required to meet with City staff to determine which
classifications and pavement types will need models. Deterioration models will
be developed using the family method that consists of the following steps:
· Define the pavement family.
· Filter the data.
· Conduct data outlier analysis.
· Develop the family model.
· Predict the pavement section condition.
Development of the deterioration models with MicroPaver software will use a
statistical analysis that will include evaluating the goodness of fit of the regression
line using the coefficient of determination «(I) value, the standard deviation of
error (0'), and the absolute mean of error. The standard deviation of error and the
absolute mean of error should be small because they relate to the confidence of the
curve which is used for a prediction. These values will vary depending on the
number of data points that are evaluated. All of the parameters need to be used
together to provide a high degree of confidence in the models. The consultant will
be required to use the MicroPaver software to generate prediction models based
on specific parameters identified by the City.
Task No.3 - Preliminary Report
The consultant will develop a preliminary five-year pavement rehabilitation
program that provides recommendations to optimize strategies and locations. The
City will provide annual budget information for maintenance and rehabilitation.
The consultant will produce potential rehabilitation applications for each specific
block. This information will be utilized by the consultant to develop specific
projects that will match the strategies used by the City.
A preliminary report will be prepared and submitted to City staffforreview. This
report will include summary condition graphs that include the area represented by
the different rating scores.
Task No.4 - Final Five-Year Pavement Rehabilitation Program
The overall goal is to provide a rehabilitation program that assists the City of
Chanhassen in preserving and maintaining its large infrastructure investment. The
pavement condition will be projected over the five-year period based on the City's
budget to determine if the street network is performing to the standards
«Title» «FirstName» «LastName»
January 31, 2000
Page 4
established by the City. The consultant will be required to supply 15 copies of the
final report to the City. The report will present a program that 1) provides a list of
street maintenance, rehabilitation and construction projects for the Municipal
State Aid streets and the local street system, 2) provides projects for the next five
years, and 3) is based on accepted City of Chanhassen practices. Specific
categories will include
· Seal Coating
· Crack Sealing
· Thin Overlays
· Mill and Overlay
· Total Reconstruction
· New Construction
Please include in your proposal the names and qualifications of the personnel who
would be directly responsible for preparation of the pavement management report.
All proposals must be submitted by 4:00 p.m. March 3, 2000. It is the City's
intent to select a consultant for City Council contract approval on March 27, 2000.
The report will be completed by June 30, 2000. Please contact me at (612) 937-
1900, extension 156 with any questions, comments or concerns regarding the
request for proposal.

RE: Proposal for Preparation of Pavement Management Report
Project No. 99-4
Dear Ms. Benson:
The following proposal is offered for your consideration for the preparation of a pavement
management report for the City's street system. It is submitted in response to your Request for
Proposals dated January 31,2000. Our proposed scope of work and an estimated cost for our
services are detailed below.
. SCOPE OF SERVICES
It is our understanding that the City is in the process of implementing APW A's MicroPaver
Program for its long-term pavement management program. An inventory and evaluation of all of
the City's streets was completed in 1999. The survey data has been entered into the MicroPaver
software and ratings have been determined for each individual street segment. The City is
requesting the assistance of a consultant to utilize the existing information and the MicroPaver
software to develop a five-year pavement rehabilitation program. The following is a summary of
the proposed scope of work for the development of the pavement rehabilitation program.
Task 1: Development of Maintenance, Rehabilitation and Repair Strategies
BRW will work with City staff to review the specific types of pavement maintenance,
rehabilitation and repair (MRR) strategies currently used by Chanhassen and correlate these
strategies to the existing numerical condition ratings for each street. It is anticipated that this
process will involve field visits with City staff to perform a sampling of City streets to compare
ratings to observations of actual street conditions. BRW will work with City staff to determine
budget cost estimates for specific MRR work tasks performed both by City staff and by a
contractor. BRW will consider street functions and characteristics such as traffic volume, state-
aid, collector, local, rural, urban, etc., in the ranking of importance. Additional input from City
staff regarding peripheral considerations which may pertain to prioritization of street
rehabilitation, such as underground utility conditions will also be considered while developing
MRR strategies.

BRW will provide a priority table and decision matrix as a part of the deliverable products
included under task 1.
Task 2: Development of Deterioration Models
BRW will work with City staff to develop deterioration models for up to three functional street
types within the City (e.g. collector, local). The models will be based upon the MicroPaver
software family method and specific parameters applicable to Chanhassen as determined by
BRW and city staff. The MicroPaver prediction models utilize a statistical analysis and
regression curves to represent the pavement condition into the future.
Task 3: Preliminary Report
BRW will utilize the results of the predictive models, the menu of MRR strategies and budget
parameters provided by the City to outline a five year plan for maintenance and repair of
pavements throughout the City. The plan will include a brief summary of the methodologies
used to develop the predictive models and a summary of estimated costs for the various MRR
strategies included in the plan as well as the City budget parameters used to set the scope of
MRR work. The report will include applicable graphs, charts and other data output from the
MicroPaver program which substantiates the proposed program.
The preliminary report will be submitted to City staff by May 26, 2000 for review and
comments.
Task 4: Final Five-Year Pavement Rehabilitation Program Report
BRW will incorporate comments from City staff on the preliminary report into a final report
detailing proposed maintenance and repair activities over a five-year period. Each year will
include a scope of work for construction contract projects and city maintenance work as
appropriate and in accordance with specified budgets. It is anticipated that proposed work will
include seal coating, crack sealing, thin overlays, mill and overlay, total reconstruction and new
construction. The plan will include one color exhibit of the Citywide street system illustrating the
proposed five-year pavement rehabilitation program which can be used for public information
purposes. It is assumed that the City will provide BRW with an electmnic base map for this
exhibit. A total of fifteen copies of the final report will be printed and provided to the City.
ESTIMATED COSTS
We propose that the work be performed on an hourly basis. The following is a summary of the
estimated costs to develop the five-year pavement rehabilitation program.

RE: PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT REPORT
City Project No. 99-4
Dear Ms. Benson:
Howard R. Green Company (HRG) is pleased to provide you with this proposal for the
preparation of a Pavement Management Report for the City of Chanhassen. As you are aware,
new Governmental Accounting Standards Board, Statement 34, has taken pavement
management beyond just being a sensible means of managing the public dollar. Effective at
various dates in the next three years (depending upon local government revenue amounts),
government agencies will now be required to report their investment in major infrastructure
assets.
The Chanhassen Pavement Network
The City of Chanhassen has over 110 miles of paved streets and roadways with a replacement
value of more than 65 million dollars. HRG, in cooperation with City staff, will provide you the
tool necessary to effectively manage that network in terms of maintenance, rehabilitation, and
reconstruction.
Chanhassen's Project Team
Dave Nyberg, your Client Service Manager, will lead the team assigned to complete this project.
He will utilize Dr. Tom Maze, P.E., to provide the technical oversight necessary to ensure that
the report successfully achieves its goals. Dave will also utilize the pavement management
expertise of Omar Smadi, John Resler, and Paul Kauppi, who was involved in the collection of
Chanhassen's pavement condition data.
Project Value
HRG places the highest importance upon providing the City of Chanhassen value in every
project in which we are involved. Critical factors involved in the completion of a Pavement
Management Report for the City include the successful completion of the following objectives:
1326 Energy Park Drive. SI. Paul, MN 55108 . 651/644-4389 fax 651/644-9446 toll free 888/368-4389
Ms. Anita Benson, P.E.

· Blend objective data with City input to develop sound pavement management strategies.
· Create an evolving system of network management that allows the City of Chanhassen to
predict future pavement conditions for management and budgeting purposes.
· Develop a 5-year pavement rehabilitation plan for the City to implement.
· Create strategies that optimize maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction methods per
taxpayer dollar spent.
· Meet the City's requirements set for in GASB Statement 34 for the reporting of street
infrastructure assets.
Again, we sincerely value our relationship with the City of Chanhassen and will strive to meet
and exceed your every expectation on this project and others we are involved in. If, in your
review of this proposal, you have any questions or concerns, please contact our office at 651-
644-4389. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Chanhassen in the successful
completion of this report.
Sincerely,
Howard R. Green Company

Project No. 99-4
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
As part of the City of Chanhassen's infrastructure management plan, the Engineering
Department and the Public Works Department have implemented a pavement management
program (PMP) to assist in monitoring the performance and maintenance one of its largest
investments, the paved street network. This investment represents a 110-mile street
system that would have a 65 to 75 million-dollar value if it were to be replaced today.
New accounting standards are being implemented that require government agencies to
report and account for their infrastructure assets. In June 1999, the Govemmental
Accounting Standards Soard (GASS) issued Statement 34 "Basic Financial Statements _
and Management's Discussion and Analysis - for State and Local Govemments".
Statement 34 establishes new requirements for the annual financial reports of state and
local govemments. As part of this new Statement, Cities must report all capital assets,
including infrastructure, in the govemment-wide statement of net assets and report
depreciation expense.
To meet these requirements, and monitor their investment, the City of Chanhassen is
implementing an asset management program for its street network. The City has selected
MicroPA VER as the software platform to be used as the basis of its pavement management
program. Pavement management provides a method to assess the current condition of this
investment, determine its future construction and maintenance needs, and prioritize
appropriate rehabilitation at optimum times.
In 1999, Howard R. Green Company (HRG) assisted the City in evaluating the street
network using a surface condition rating method that measures the severity of several types
of pavement distress found within random sample sections. This approach allows the City
to objectively evaluate the pavement condition within each sample section. The survey data
was subsequently entered into the MicroPAVER software to determine a pavement
condition index (PCI) rating. The ratings are from 0 to 100, with a rating of 100 being a
newly constructed street condition.
The City of Chanhassen desires to take the next step in the PMP process. That is to
compile the information collected in 1999, and prepare a Pavement Management Report. A
required component will be the development of a five-year pavement rehabilitation program
utilizing the condition analysis and maintenance portion of MicroPAVER software. Local cost
factors and rehabilitation strategies will be considered when evaluating the effectiveness of
proposed solutions in relation to the overall performance of the street network.
'We help our clients capitalize on opportunities and minimize liabilities'
Implementation of the following work plan assures that the City of Chanhassen will be able
to maximize the use of available public funds to maintain the network at a specific, yet to be
determined, minimum acceptable level
WORK PLAN
Task One - Maintenance. Rehabilitation. and Reconstruction fMRRI Strateaies
A. Objective
HRG, along with City staff, will evaluate and prioritize the specific types of pavement
maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction (MRR) strategies. From this
exercise, HRG will develop a PMP Decision Matrix.
B. Chanhassen Activities
1. Review the decision matrices as presented and provide comments for final
review.
2. City or HRG place the MRR Decision Matrix in the MicroPAVER software.
C. Procedures
1. Identify several types of maintenance and rehabilitation such as:
· Localized stopgap - (safety) which might be applied to severe localized
rutting, potholes, etc.;
· Localized preventive - which would be used to repair high severity fatigue
cracking and block cracking in small quantities;
· Global preventative strategies that include seal coats and crack filling;
· Major rehabilitation that is used when the street is at an established critical
rating or above. This might include applying overlays, milling and overlaying,
or other surface reconstruction;
· Major reconstruction (below the critical rating) which would include removal
and complete reconstruction.
2. Determine local costs associated with each type of repair.
3. Assist the City in placing the MRR Decision Matrix in the MicroPA VER software.
D. Deliverables
1. After family assignments have been determined, a priority table will be developed
to assist in ranking individual street MRR needs based on distress score ranges.
E. Value to Chanhassen
1. Allows input and involvement.
2. Keeps City in the "decision loop" with respect to developing MRR strategies.
3. Allows City to make educated determinations in the establishment of "critical
rating" trigger points.
'We help our clients capitalize on opportunities and minimize liabilities'
Task Two - DeveloD Deterioration Models
A. Objective
Develop the pavement condition models that are specific to the City of Chanhassen
based on the current MicroPAVER database.
B. Chanhassen Activities
1. Provide HRG an electronic copy of the MicroPA VER database.
2. Meet with HRG to determine which classifications and pavement types will need
models.
C. Procedures
1. Deterioration models will be developed using the Family Method that consists of
the following steps:
· Define the pavement family (Le., arterial, collector, local)
· Filter the data;
· Conduct data outlier analysis;
· Develop the family model;
· Predict the pavement section condition in future years.

2. A statistical analysis will be used to evaluate the quality of fit of the regression
line using the following factors:
· coefficient of determination (r") value
· standard deviation of error (a)
· the absolute mean of error
3. HRG will use the MicroPAVER software to generate pred1ction models based on
specific parameters jointly determined by the City and HRG.
