Subject: City of Pearland 2017 Update Project No.:
Thank you for taking the time to review the pavement data collection services offered by IMS
Infrastructure Management Services. IMS excels in pavement and asset management solutions and
can provide a full suite of data collection and software implementation services.
In 2014 IMS was selected to conduct a pavement
•
condition survey and develop a comprehensive
rehabilitation plan for the City of Pearland. The 71 ft
City maintains approximately 507 centerline miles = mom- -
of roadway and the distress data should be •.n" mum -
updated every 3-5 years. The City is interested in ? . inns
conducting an update on the asphalt roadways f.(
only (100 centerline miles) and the Laser Road �`" '
Surface Tester(RST) conducts two passes on the
major roadways, while single pass testing the residential roadways This will result in testing
approximately 144 survey miles of roadway for this 2017 assignment.
The data will be collected following the ASTM D6433 data collection protocols and longitudinal profile will
be reported as the International Roughness Index (IRI). The IMS scope of services includes the
acquisition of surface condition data, HD digital imagery, web hosted data viewer update, pavement
analysis modeling, and development of a comprehensive 5-year rehabilitation plan that maximizes City
resources through the use of cost benefit practices.
Our approach, and key service differentiator, is based on three, time proven fundamentals:
Answer the questions that are being asked — don't over-engineer the system or make it needlessly
complicated Databases and the application of technology are meant to simplify asset management, not
make it more difficult.
Service and quality are paramount to success — the right blend of technically correct data, condition
rating. and reporting will provide the agency with a long-term, stable solution. Service to the Client
remains our top priority.
Local control and communications are key — it is important that all stakeholders understand the
impacts of their decisions and have the system outputs react accordingly. We excel in making ourselves
readily available.

Performing Objective ASTM D6433 Data Collection
The IMS fleet of pavement performance
equipment includes four Laser Road Surface
Testers, two Dynaflect Devices and two
Sidewalk Surface Testers. For this survey, we -
propose to use our Laser Road Surface Tester
1111111111(RST) enhanced with digital imagery and GPS
capabilities and our Dynaflect device. • * IMSI
Ws
The RST, with its Laser Camera Array (LCA) is i A
capable of collecting a full array of pavement •
condition data complete with high accuracy
GPS coordinates and multiple view digital
imagery for both rigid and flexible pavements
(in real time), as it traverses the roadway. An integrated Digital Direct Condition Rating System (DDCRS)
supplements the RST data for additional ASTM D6433 distress data elements, quality assurance and
inventory information. Specialized data processing. using GIS as its backbone, allows the pavement data
to be quickly checked for completeness and quality.
The main components of the enhanced RST are:
• A transducer bar with an array of 11 laser cameras, rate gyroscopes, inclinometers and
accelerometers to measure pavement roughness., rutting, cracking, and geometries
• DDCRS that may be customized to collect a variety of roadway attributes and extent-severity
based pavement distresses.
• Ability to collect dual wheel path roughness to International Roughness Index (IRI) standards
• Up to 7 digital video cameras for forward, pavement, side and rear right-of-way images for
QA/QC, virtual drive deliverables, and right-of-way asset extraction.
• High accuracy Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver with inertial navigation.
• Dual distance measuring instruments to measure linear distances to within +/-0.5%.
Laser Camera Array (LCA)
The LCA is an ASTM device capable of collecting automated
pavement condition data. The LCA is comprised of gyroscopes, ■ ■
accelerometers and 11 high speed lasers configured to capture
roughness data to International Roughness Index (IRI) standards - -_ 7_
and wheel path rutting measurements. Our 11-sensor configuration I ma- =-d�-
provides greater precision and repeatability of profile data over :.
traditional five sensor configurations because it reduces the impact
of vehicle wander in the driving lane.
The LCA automatically collects transverse cracking, block cracking, alligator cracking, distortions and
texture. The laser camera technology automatically detects cracks and minute variances in the pavement
surface. Thus, the LCA greatly diminishes the subjective nature of pavement condition data collection
performed by'windshield" and image based field surveys.

PCI Development, Analysis Configuration & 5-Year CIP Plan
Immediately following the completion of the field survey's IMS will begin processing the pavement distress
severity and extent scores in an effort to develop a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) for each roadway
segment. The condition results are analyzed by a team of IMS engineers, who then develop the City of
Pearland 5-year pavement management plan. This section provides a brief summary of the functionality
of the IMS pavement analysis in order to emphasize our implementation expertise as well as the abilities
and constraints within a pavement analysis.
The purpose of pavement management is to produce cost effective maintenance programs that maximize
available resources and roadway life. By incorporating key components of a cost benefit analysis into the
analysis operating parameters, we can develop a game plan that is optimized to meet the needs of the
City of Pearland. In addition, the analysis operating parameters described within this section will be
delivered in an easy to use Excel Spreadsheet including the segment PCI data, pavement deterioration
curves. triggers (priority weight factors), and the prioritized 5-year plan. Everything is linked to GIS in the
form of simple shape files or even a personal geodatabase.
Field Inspection Data and Pavement Condition Index (PCI)
The IMS analysis allows you to store information regarding your pavements, including surface types,
number of lanes, patching estimates, cross slopes, and sidewalk & curb types with replacement
estimates. Pavement condition data including surface distress, roughness, and deflection results can be
stored and analyzed. Using an in-house Pavement Manager Setup module, we can develop customized
condition elements, distress types (load & non-load), Indices (SDI, RI, & SI), weightings, and overall PCI
calculations.
In addition to the yearly programs, the net impact each budget scenario has on the expected condition of
the road network over time can be determined. This budget impact can be illustrated both in terms of the
yearly increase or decrease in the average network PCI score, PCI distribution, or % Backlog of roads
that were not selected by the budgets. IMS converts the difficult to understand FHWA and ASTM D6433
data to a 0-10 distress rating scale with distress weighted factors (DWF), where DWF = {Area under
D6433 deduct curves/3000}.
Modeling and Performance Curves
With an IMS analysis, you can forecast various
budget scenarios to help you determine your ideal . f
l......... .__ }
maintenance and rehabilitation schedule. The IMS g • :-. �y•�_... - _-
approach will help you decide what rehab activities = - �,.'
should be performed, when and where to perform • . -
them, and an ideal budget for your system to a I

maintain it at a specific level of service.
■
IMS engineers use pavement deterioration models
that can be customized to reflect the climatic
ft
conditions and structural characteristics of the City of 7.m.
Pearland's road network. As a result, performance curves can be developed on factors such as
functional class, pavement type and sub-grade strength.
IMS Infrastructure Management Services Pearland Quote 2017 REV !.1 CP Update Onlh•.dor•
City of Pearland, TX
Pavement Management Update
Set Points and Operating Parameters
One of the most important aspects of the IMS approach is determining the 'set points' or thresholds of the
performance curves and other factors In general, these set points determine what type of treatment will
be selected given the current or predicted condition of a road segment over time.
For example, the scatter plot displayed below illustrates a potential rehab selection process that may be
incorporated for Pearland. Each dot represents the outcome of a pavement condition assessment on
each segment in the road network. The X-axis is the pavement condition score while the Y-axis is a
Structural Index (will be developed with deflection data). The boundaries created by the intersection of
the vertical green lines and horizontal dashed black lines represent the potential rehabilitation strategy for
those given conditions Each maintenance and rehabilitation strategy is programmed to take place in the
most optimal year for each roadway segment_
The color bands are also an effective way of illustrating the activity priorities through an analysis that
takes into account critical PCI drops, also known as "cost of deferment." The IMS analysis specifically
targets "critical segments", which is defined as segments that will drop into a more expensive treatment
category if they are not selected now. By presenting the rehab strategies in a visual format such as this,
the user, City staff, management and Councils can easily understand, follow and potentially modify the
results with confidence.

What is included in an 1MS analysis & report?
• Street ownership and inventory/attribute report
• Present condition ranking—detailed and summary condition data including: Good/Fair/Poor, Load
Associated Distresses (LAD), Non-LAD, and SuperSegment reviews of each street in the
network, as well as the network as a whole.
• Fix all budget analysis — this identifies the upper limit of spending by rehabilitating all streets
assuming unlimited funding.
• Do nothing analysis—this identifies the effects of not performing roadway rehabilitation projects.
• Steady state rehabilitation life cycle analysis—this identifies the minimum amount of rehabilitation
that must be completed in order to maintain the existing level of service over 3, 5, or 10 years.
• PCI &funding levels—what funding will be necessary to maintain a PCI of 80, 85, & 95.
Plus or minus 50% and other additional runs — additional budget runs are completed at rates of
+50% and -50% of the suggested steady state analysis. Up to 10 budget scenarios will be run.
• Integration of capital projects and Master Plans — ongoing and proposed projects that affect
roadway rehabilitation planning will be incorporated into the analysis.
• Draft 5-year rehabilitation and prioritized paving plans — based on need, available budget and
level of service constraints; a minimum of three budget runs will be completed.
• Final prioritized paving plan — incorporating feedback from stakeholder departments and utilities,
complete with budget and level of service constraints.

Interactive Excel Spreadsheet Update
While the results of the survey will certainly be documented and bound in a final report that illustrates the
findings of the survey. it is imperative that City staff have access to the pavement condition and analysis
results without having to become software experts. While IMS is a leading expert with most 3rd party
pavement management applications, we have also designed a simple and easy to use Excel
Spreadsheet that utilizes the core metrics of any pavement management system such as the ability to
prioritize and optimize the 5-year plan.
The IMS Excel Spreadsheet will be programmed to develop a 5-year maintenance and rehabilitation plan
using -cost of deferral" as a priority weighting factor in an effort to introduce cost-benefit techniques into
the City's pavement management plan. In addition, the Excel Spreadsheet will have referenced
deterioration curves for each functional classification. pavement type, and even pavement strength rating.
The power of having the data in such an open architecture fashion allows the City to easily integrate this
data into a 3rd party pavement management system at some point in the future (if desired). The
spreadsheet will also contain a full suite of maintenance and rehabilitation techniques, unit rates, and
associated PCI resets. The parameters of the analysis (Priority Weighting Factors) can also be modified
and reprioritized on the fly. This will allow the City's data to evolve with the priorities of elected officials
and department staff.
As seen in the image below, the analysis data in spreadsheet is supplemented with a few cells
highlighted in yellow. The yellow highlighted cells simply indicate that they are "HOT" and can be
modified. While there are several highlighted cells in the IMS Excel Spreadsheet, the 2 shown below
represent the Annual Budget and the Project ID. The Annual Budget cell can be modified with a new
budget and the 5-year plan will automatically re-prioritize on the fly While IMS will have already
aggregated the City's segments (block-to-block) into viable projects (multiple blocks strung together to
form a logical project), the user has the ability to aggregate additional blocks into a project or even
remove a segment from a project without having to become a software expert.

The spreadsheet also allows an agency to re-fresh the 5-year plan by entering the maintenance and
rehabilitation work completed. As seen in the image capture below, the spreadsheet is supplemented
with "PCI Override" functionality. When work is completed on a particular segment. the user simply
inserts the override PCI value along with a date The spreadsheet then removes the segment from the 5-
year plan. The user can also force "Must Do' projects into the prioritized plan and can program varying
annual budgets for each funding year within the 5-year horizon.

While the spreadsheet is not meant to replace pavement management systems. it is an alternative for
agencies that do not have the resources or staff to maintain a dedicated application. If a dedicated
system is desired. IMS can assess the City's needs and compare them against the available pavement
management applications. The idea is to select an application that fits within the City's budget and meets
the needs of City staff and elected officials.
While IMS has established ourselves as the leading pavement management firm since 1985, we are also
third party software consultants who frequently implement applications such as Lucity, PAVER,
StreetSaver, Deighton, Cartegraph, and many others. We go beyond software installation and training
to ensure the operating parameters of the system are setup and configured to produce reliable pavement
analysis routines and reports. The IMS team can ensure the selection of software that will meet current
and future needs of Pearland staff.

violations to the Federal awarding agency.
e. In contracts subject to the Davis-Bacon Act, the contracts must also include a
provision for compliance with the Copeland "Anti-Kickback"Act(40 U.S.C. §

subcontractor or lower tier subcontractor with all of these contract clauses.
4
Current as of 1-9-17
(3) Breach. A breach of the contract clauses above may be grounds for

concerning compliance with the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act:
"Compliance with the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act.
(1) Overtime requirements. No contractor or subcontractor contracting
for any part of the contract work which may require or involve the
employment of laborers or mechanics shall require or permit any such
laborer or mechanic in any workweek in which he or she is employed on
such work to work in excess of forty hours in such workweek unless such
laborer or mechanic receives compensation at a rate not less than one and

responsible for compliance by any subcontractor or lower tier
subcontractor with the clauses set forth in paragraphs(1)through(4)of
this section."

Assistance, Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, Fire Management Assistance
Grant Program, Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Grant Program,
Disaster Case Management Grant Program, and Federal Assistance to Individuals
and Households—Other Needs Assistance Grant Program, as FEMA awards
under these programs do not meet the definition of"funding agreement."
b. If the FEMA award meets the definition of"funding agreement"under 37 C.F.R.
§ 401.2(a)and the non-Federal entity wishes to enter into a contract with a small
business firm or nonprofit organization regarding the substitution of parties,
assignment or performance of experimental, developmental, or research work
under that"funding agreement,"the non-Federal entity must comply with the
requirements of 37 C.F.R. Part 401 (Rights to Inventions Made by Nonprofit

Current as of 1-9-17
FEMA. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II, ¶F.

agency,other than the Tennessee Valley Authority, and any contractor for the
performance of experimental, developmental, or research work funded in whole
or in part by the Federal government. This term also includes any assignment,
substitution of parties,or subcontract of any type entered into for the performance
of experimental,developmental, or research work under a funding agreement as
defined in the first sentence of this paragraph.
7. Clean Air Act and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Contracts of amounts in excess
of$150,000 must contain a provision that requires the contractor to agree to comply with all
applicable standards, orders, or regulations issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act(42 U.S.C.
§§ 7401-7671q)and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act as amended (33 U.S.C. §§
1251-1387). Violations must be reported to FEMA and the Regional Office of the
Environmental Protection Agency. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II,¶ G.
a. The following provides a sample contract clause concerning compliance for
contracts of amounts in excess of$150,000:
"Clean Air Act
(1) The contractor agrees to comply with all applicable standards, orders
or regulations issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C.
§ 7401 et seq.
(2) The contractor agrees to report each violation to the(name of the
state agency or local or Indian tribal government)and understands and
agrees that the (name of the state agency or local or Indian tribal
government)will, in turn, report each violation as required to assure
notification to the(name of recipient), Federal Emergency Management
Agency, and the appropriate Environmental Protection Agency Regional
Office.
(3) The contractor agrees to include these requirements in each
subcontract exceeding$150,000 financed in whole or in part with Federal
assistance provided by FEMA.

or regulations issued pursuant to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act,
as amended, 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.
(2) The contractor agrees to report each violation to the (name of the
state agency or local or Indian tribal government) and understands and
agrees that the(name of the state agency or local or Indian tribal
7
Current as of 1-9-17
government)will, in turn, report each violation as required to assure
notification to the(name of recipient), Federal Emergency Management
Agency, and the appropriate Environmental Protection Agency Regional
Office.
(3) The contractor agrees to include these requirements in each
subcontract exceeding$150,000 financed in whole or in part with
Federal assistance provided by FEMA."
8. Debarment and Suspension.
a. Applicability: This requirement applies to all FEMA grant and cooperative
agreement programs.
b. Non-federal entities and contractors are subject to the debarment and suspension
regulations implementing Executive Order 12549, Debarment and Suspension
(1986)and Executive Order 12689, Debarment and Suspension(1989) at 2 C.F.R.
Part 180 and the Department of Homeland Security's regulations at 2 C.F.R. Part
3000(Nonprocuremcnt Debarment and Suspension).
c. These regulations restrict awards, subawards, and contracts with certain parties
that are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for
participation in Federal assistance programs and activities. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200,
Appendix 1I,¶H; and Procurement Guidance for Recipients and Subrecipients
Under 2 C.F.R. Part 200(Uniform Rules): Supplement to the Public Assistance
Procurement Disaster Assistance Team (PRAT)Field Manual Chapter IV, ¶6.d,
and Appendix C,¶2 [hereinafter PDAT Supplement]. A contract award must not
be made to parties listed in the SAM Exclusions. SAM Exclusions is the list
maintained by the General Services Administration that contains the names of
parties debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded by agencies, as well as parties
declared ineligible under statutory or regulatory authority other than Executive
Order 12549. SAM exclusions can be accessed at www.sam.gov. See 2 C.F.R. §
180.530; PDAT Supplement, Chapter IV,¶6.d and Appendix C,112.
d. In general, an"excluded" party cannot receive a Federal grant award or a contract
within the meaning of a"covered transaction,"to include subawards and
subcontracts. This includes parties that receive Federal funding indirectly, such as
contractors to recipients and subrecipients. The key to the exclusion is whether
there is a"covered transaction,"which is any nonprocurement transaction(unless
excepted)at either a"primary"or"secondary" tier. Although"covered
transactions"do not include contracts awarded by the Federal Government for
purposes of the nonprocurement common rule and DHS's implementing
regulations, it does include some contracts awarded by recipients and
subrecipient.
e. Specifically, a covered transaction includes the following contracts for goods or
services:
8
Current as of 1-9-17
(1)The contract is awarded by a recipient or subrecipient in the amount of
at least $25,000.
(2) The contract requires the approval of FEMA, regardless of amount.
(3)The contract is for federally-required audit services.
(4) A subcontract is also a covered transaction if it is awarded by the
contractor of a recipient or subrecipient and requires either the approval of
FEMA or is in excess of$25,000.
d. The following provides a debarment and suspension clause. It incorporates an
optional method of verifying that contractors are not excluded or disqualified:
"Suspension and Debarment
(1) This contract is a covered transaction for purposes of 2 C.F.R. pt.
180 and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000. As such the contractor is required to verify that
none of the contractor, its principals(defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.995), or its
affiliates(defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.905) are excluded (defined at 2 C.F.R.
§ 180.940) or disqualified (defined at 2 C.F.R. § 180.935).
(2) The contractor must comply with 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and 2
C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C and must include a requirement to comply with
these regulations in any lower tier covered transaction it enters into.
(3) This certification is a material representation of fact relied upon by
(insert name of subrecipient). If it is later determined that the contractor
did not comply with 2 C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000,
subpart C, in addition to remedies available to(name of state agency
serving as recipient and name of subrecipient),the Federal Government
may pursue available remedies, including but not limited to suspension
and/or debarment.
(4) The bidder or proposer agrees to comply with the requirements of 2
C.F.R. pt. 180, subpart C and 2 C.F.R. pt. 3000, subpart C while this offer
is valid and throughout the period of any contract that may arise from this
offer. The bidder or proposer further agrees to include a provision
requiring such compliance in its lower tier covered transactions."
9. Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment.
a. Applicability: This requirement applies to all FEMA grant and cooperative
agreement programs.
b. Contractors that apply or bid for an award of$100,000 or more must file the
required certification. See 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix II,¶ I;44 C.F.R. Part 18;
PDAT Supplement, Chapter IV,6.c; Appendix C,¶4.
c. Each tier certifies to the tier above that it will not and has not used Federal
appropriated funds to pay any person or organization for influencing or
9
Current as of 1-9-17
attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a member of
Congress, officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a member of
Congress in connection with obtaining any Federal contract, grant or any other
award covered by 31 U.S.C. § 1352. Each tier must also disclose any lobbying
with non-Federal funds that takes place in connection with obtaining any Federal
award. Such disclosures are forwarded from tier to tier up to the non-Federal
award. See PDAT Supplement, Chapter IV,¶6.c and Appendix C,¶4.
d. The following provides a Byrd Anti-Lobbying contract clause:
"Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment, 31 U.S.C. & 1352 (as amended)
Contractors who apply or bid for an award of$100,000 or more shall file the required
certification. Each tier certifies to the tier above that it will not and has not used
Federal appropriated funds to pay any person or organization for influencing or
attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a member of Congress,
officer or employee of Congress,or an employee of a member of Congress in

31 U.S.C. § 1352. Each tier shall also disclose any lobbying with non-Federal funds
that takes place in connection with obtaining any Federal award. Such disclosures are
forwarded from tier to tier up to the recipient."
