RE: Pavement Management Questions to Council
Robert,
Thanks for your letter concerning the pavement management project. Our overall goal is to ensure
that we allocate our resources in the most efficient way to maintain the City infrastructure. The
following is a formal question/answer response just so each of your concerns can be addressed. I
am out of the office until August 16, 2011 however, to further assist you, the complete Council
presentation is attached. If you would like to discuss the particulars of this project before I return
you can contact the project engineer, George Marshall at 972 - 304 -3562.
1) What will be done to account for parked cars? On a typical residential street there is
enough room to park one car on each side and maintain one travel lane down the center of
the street. The point of this survey is to gather overall street quality which is important
down the center of the street, where most vehicles travel.
2) Will the City spend more money on putting out flyers to residents to (1) stay off that street on
that particular day and (2) reschedule any vendors who plan on doing work on that street on
that day to another time? Currently the City does not plan on sending out flyers or mailings
however, there will be postings on the website and other electronic media. The road survey
will take approximately 2 weeks to drive all the streets and alleys within the City. The total
distance is 246 miles, driven over 10 days for an average of 25 miles per day. The goal is to
have the least disruption to residents as possible.
3) If driving around those who park on a given street on the day the van arrives does the van
merely drive around those vehicles thus making the data collected incomplete and cause a
redo at some additional expense and who is to say that the redo doesn 't find the same
condition (parked cars/ trucks/ vans) which obscure the picture of potential problems? The
goal is to gather the data in the main lane of traffic. There will not be any redo's at the
City's expense.
4) What does the street department do with the data collected already, there is a website to
sign up for potholes, street cracks, failing manholes, broken alleys, and cracked and broken
curbs and you can call it in and go by the service center and report them too? This `data' is
collected and a work order is created to have an employee review the problem location. If
action is required to repair a potentially dangerous situation, that work is performed

immediately. Otherwise the request is prioritized with other requests for either the
following year's annual street and alley contract or for the Streets Division to repair.
5) Doesn't this list, already created, tell the City where the most obvious needs are or have
occurred? Not really. Because we operate on a complaint basis, we typically focus our
efforts only on those complaints. With the 1 /4 cent sales tax, we have recently been
removing and replacing entire streets. To ensure we continue to allocate resources wisely,
we need a system to compare the condition of one street to another.
6) I was told not long ago that the repair waiting list was long and it would take several years
to achieve those repairs through the contractor we use. Each year we add items to the list
and then award a contract for them to be repaired. It is possible that if the complaint is made
after we have awarded our yearly contract the time period for non - hazardous repairs could
approach several years.
7) I have been told that this ARAN contract is going to cost us between $125,000 to $200,000
when it is said and done. So, what will we have but some nice to know data? The contract
awarded to Fugro Consultants, Inc. is $100,088.90 and there is some additional software
around $2000 (MicroPAVER) that the City will purchase. At this time we do not expect
any additional costs. The data collected will provide the City with a detailed rating number
assigned to each street segment based on a scale system developed by the US Army Corps
of Engineers. This rating number is based on ride quality, pavement quality and life
expectancy of the pavement. The City will use this data to help plan larger maintenance
projects that otherwise might not be funded under the annual street and alley project.
8) Haven't we already assessed through citizens input where the priorities for repairs exist by
informing the Streets Department of failures? Yes, to an extent. However complaints
typically are spot repair problems and not overall street condition.
9) Don 't they (City Staff) assess independently from time to time the road conditions anyway?
Not to this extent. Staff tries to drive the City and catch problem locations but we don't
have a way to compare the condition of one street to the next.
10)Does ARAN consider the timing of the season? In summer concrete tends to heave more
than in the winter, in rain and heavy traffic the streets (panels) move from the `pumping'
effect. So, it would seem that the snapshot picture would do little to account for these
variable circumstances. No, the ARAN does not take into account the seasons, however it
looks at the overall network in a matter of weeks to compare one street to the next.
11) Why not use satellite images that can be brought into the desktop or portable computer
systems the City already owns to view the streets in what may be closer to real time events
than can be provided by this snapshot contract? What about access to the Dallas County
Appraisal District Maps too, surely they have pictures of the streets and alleys that are
recent acquisitions? If we really need to make additional assessments, remember we have
cameras on many of our City Fleet Vehicles, police, fire, roadway intersections etc., so why
not sync up those data gathers we already have with the Street Department needs? The City
has aerial images (purchased from North Central Texas Council of Governments). The level
of detail of the images that the City currently owns is very good for a pictorial view of the
City but not acceptable for this purpose. With aerial images there is no way to determine the
ride quality of a road. The images collected by Fugro will be run through automated crack
detection software that will be utilized to calculate the pavement condition score.
While we continue to provide the City with annual street and alley maintenance it is important for
us to collect data on the overall network to ascertain potential issues with the pavement in other
areas of the City that we do not receive regular complaints.
Again, if you have any further questions you can contact me after August 16, 2011 or call George
Marshall at 972 - 304 -3562.

VIA: Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., Director of Engineering & Public Works
FROM: George Marshall, P.E., Civil Engineer
DATE: June 14, 2011
REF: Consider approval of an Engineering Services Contract with Fugro
Consultants, Inc. to provide professional engineering services for the Pavement
Condition Survey and Pavement Management Services, Project #Tax 2010D;
for an amount not to exceed of $100,088.90; as provided for in 'h Cent Sales Tax
for Street Maintenance funds; and authorizing the City Manager to sign and
execute all necessary documents.
This agenda item is to award a professional services contract to Fugro Consultants, Inc. to provide
the city with a pavement condition survey of all streets and alleys within the city. The consultant
will collect distress and profile data and right -of -way digital images. This data will be used to
provide the city with a rating system to help determine where and how street maintenance work
should be performed. The city has 396 lane miles of street and 67 lane miles of alleys within its
road network. A two -way street, such as Deforest Road, that is one mile long consists of 2 lane
miles and a 6 lane, divided road, such as Denton Tap Road, that is one mile long consists of 6 lane
miles. Data will be collected on all streets and alleys in the city's road network. Every undivided
street & alley will receive one pass of the machine and every divided street will receive two passes
(one on each side).
Digital images are collected facing forward and rear at 25 -50 foot intervals and downward images
are collected continuously. Fugro will provide the city with proprietary software that provides the
exact location as you view the images. The digital images are analyzed via automated distress
(crack) detection software and technician verification. The following distresses will be extracted
from the images: cracked slabs, shattered slabs, corner breaks, alligator cracking, longitudinal
cracking, transverse cracking, block cracking and patching.
Transverse profile data is collected using a five- sensor profiler to locate the presence of ruts or other
irregularities in the cross section of the roadway. The transverse profile data will be collected every
50 feet and averaged along the wheel path.
Longitudinal profile data will be collected via the transverse profiler and follow the wheel path to
provide general ride quality characteristics of the roadway segment. This data will be collected at
half -foot intervals.
All of this data will be combined to provide a pavement condition index for each roadway segment.
The following is a typical rating index range: Good (100 -95), Fair (95 -85), Marginal (85 -75), Poor
(75 -65), and Very Poor ( <65).
For many years the city has generally maintained the streets on a complaint based system to
determine what streets need to be replaced. This project will provide the city a detailed rating
number assigned to each segment of street based on a scale system developed by the US Army
Corps of Engineers, which has been incorporated into their computer program, MicroPAVER. City
staff will use this software after this survey project is complete so the database can be maintained.
Fugro will also develop a guide to optimize how the budgeted maintenance money could be spent.
The MicroPAVER software also allows the user to input other fields of data to adjust the overall
rating so that, in the future, we may include water, wastewater, and drainage information into the
score.
Fugro Consultants, Inc. will provide the city with a final report of the distress data outlining the
pavement condition, a five -year maintenance work plan (based on actual budget), recommendations
for maintenance and future monitoring needs. Fugro Consultants, Inc. will also provide staff with
some training on pavement management concepts, MicroPAVER, and manual field inspection of
roadways. The information provided will help prioritize the following types of projects: routine
maintenance (crack sealing etc.), the city's annual street and alley repair, the city's annual sidewalk
repair and the 1 /4 cent sales tax streets.
Staff recommends approval of entering into a contract with Fugro Consultants, Inc. in the amount of
$100,088.90 for the pavement management survey. Staff will be available to answer any questions
at the Council meeting.

Attention: Mr. George Marshall, P.E.
Proposal for Pavement Condition Survey and Pavement Management Services
Coppell, Texas
Submitted herein is Fugro's proposal to assist the City of Coppell with pavement condition
survey of roadways maintained by the City. The following sections of this proposal describe the
scope of our services, a cost estimate for the evaluation services to be provided, an estimated
schedule, and proposed terms and conditions.
Scope of Work
The City of Coppell's road network is comprised of approximately 150 centerline miles of
roadway, primarily paved, 2 -lane undivided roadways. When including divided and wide roadways
it is expected that approximately 179 lane miles of testing will be required. Additionally, the City
maintains approximately 67 miles of alleyways. The estimated total test mileage is approximately
246 miles.
Based upon our knowledge of the project and the scope of work described above, we
propose the following phases:
Phase 1 — Project Management
Phase II — Project Setup
Phase III — Data Collection
Phase IV — Data Processing
Phase V — Pavement Management Services
Phase VI — Training
Mr. George Marshall, P.E. June 3, 2011
City of Coppell Page 2 of 11
Phase 1— Project Management
This phase consists of management for this project. This phase will involve coordination
with the City of Coppell throughout the project. It is our goal to provide monthly updates to the City
regarding the progress of the project as well as meetings with our project manager as requested by
the City of Coppell.
Four meetings as part of this phase over the duration of this project are anticipated. The
issues that will be discussed will include a confirmation of the condition data that is to be collected
for the PMS and the format in which it will be delivered. In addition, existing sources of inventory
data and access to that data will be discussed. Proposed tasks will be reviewed with the City staff
to confirm compliance with the goals of the project. Any gaps that are identified in the proposed
project approach will be resolved during this task.
The four meetings that are anticipated for this project will cover the following:
- Initial Meeting
- Meeting after PCI scores are calculated
- Meeting to review preliminary network -level work plan
- Final Meeting
It is Fugro's intent, in this review, to confirm the types of data that will be collected as part of
the PMS condition data survey. It is also essential to discuss the format in which the final data will
be delivered to the City. It is important to have full participation from the different personnel
affected by the data collection, processing and use of the PMS and GIS information.
Phase 11— Project Set Up
Phase II comprises three tasks. Each one is crucial to the data collection process. In this
phase, we plan to conduct the following:
Task 1 — Review of existing inventory, GIS, and PMS Databases
Task 2 — Routing
Task 3 — Equipment Calibration
Task 1— Review of Existing Inventory, GIS, and PMS Databases
From the review of existing inventory, GIS, and databases, an official inventory of the roads
to be surveyed for condition and physical attributes will be developed. Additional inventory data
identified as being required for the proposed PMS or found to be missing or inaccurate will have to
be located or collected. The review of inventory data will be conducted in consultation with the City
of Coppell staff. Fugro will assist the City to identify and resolve discrepancies between data sets
of their inventory. These data sets include any existing databases and GIS data files provided by
the City. Prior identification of discrepancies reduces difficulties in identifying roadways and their
Mr, George Marshall, P . June 3, 2011
City of Coppell Page 3 of 11
section limits during the data collection effort and reduces the amount of time post - processing the
data collected. Fugro has developed a standard set of quality control checks for reviewing GIS and
PMS databases. These checks are conducted by identifying corresponding data fields in each
database then comparing them for consistency. If data fields are missing in one database, but not
the other, the missing data field is populated from the existing data for a more complete data set.
Task 2 — Routing
A routing process is also performed based on the final road listing developed during the
inventory review task. This information is required for network definition and navigation. The
routing process defines a data collection order and direction for each roadway in the City's
network, as well as sets up a unique raw file name necessary for processing of distress, and right -
of -way data. Once this has been performed for the initial round of data collection, this task on any
potential subsequent data collection rounds to be performed by Fugro or the City will require
significantly less time.
Task 3 — Equipment Calibration
Before any field data collection begins, equipment checks and calibrations are performed to
ensure the quality of the data. Additionally, the data collection database us uploaded and tested
on the field computers. This ensures that the equipment, sensors, and subsystems deliver
consistent, accurate and high quality data.
Phase 111 — Data Collection
This phase covers the collection of distress, profile data, and right -of -way images. Distress
data will be collected on approximately 246 lane miles of roadway in the City's road network. One
pass along each road segment shapefile is anticipated for this project.
Digital images will be stored and transferred to the City on portable Universal Serial Bus
(USB) Drive(s). The images can be used for subsequent evaluations and comparisons as deemed
appropriate by the City. The purpose of the distress data collection is to determine the general
distress characteristics of each of the roadway segments in this project. The automated distress
data collection will be performed in accordance with ASTM Standard E -1656 (Standard Guide for
Classification of Automated Pavement Condition Survey Equipment), utilizing a Class 1 device as
defined by the specifications.
Transverse Profile data is collected using a five - sensor profiler to locate the presence of
ruts or other irregularities in the cross slope of the city roads. The purpose of the transverse profile
testing is to determine the rutting characteristics of each of the roadway segments profiled. The
transverse profile data collection will be performed in accordance with ASTM Standard E -1656
(Standard Guide for Classification of Automated Pavement Condition Survey Equipment and
ASTM Test Standard E950 (Standard Test Method for Measuring Longitudinal Profile of Traveled
Surfaces with an Accelerometer Established Inertial Profiling Reference). Transverse profile is
Mr. George Marshall, P.E. June 3, 2011
City of Coppell Page 4 of 11
collected every 50 feet and summarized as an average "rut depth" for each wheel path over the
roadway segment.
Longitudinal Profile data can be collected simultaneously with the Transverse Profile of the
network at 0.5 -foot intervals throughout the length of each section selected in each direction and
summarized at 0.01 to 0.1 -mile intervals to provide International Roughness Indices (IRI)
throughout the network. The collected IRI values will be reported as an average IRI value for each
roadway segment. The purpose of the longitudinal profile- testing program is to determine the
general ride characteristics of each of the roadway segments profiled. The longitudinal profile -
testing program will be performed in accordance with ASTM Test Standard E950 (Standard Test
Method for Measuring Longitudinal Profile of Traveled Surfaces with an Accelerometer Established
Inertial Profiling Reference), utilizing a Class 1 device as defined by the specifications.
Fugro conducts quality control measures in the field, which have been beneficial to meet
project objectives. These procedures are standard practice for our data collection services. The
automated procedure is repeatable and consistent. It also provides images that can be used for
quality assurance and archival purposes. Fugro has the capability to reprocess the images at any
time. The capability of reprocessing the images allows the City great flexibility to obtain distress
data from the images using different distress protocols, should the City ever wish to switch
pavement management systems or severity definitions now or in the future.
Phase IV — Data Processing
Phase IV covers the processing of the raw data. This phase is separated into the following two
tasks:
Task 1 — Distress & Profile Data Analysis
Task 2 — ROW Asset Inventory
Task 1— Distress & Profile Data Analysis
Distress Rating and Analysis. The following PCC distresses that will be extracted from the
images are: 1.) Cracked Slabs, 2.) Shattered Slabs, 3.) Corner Breaks, and 4.) Faulting (from
profile). For the AC surfaced roadways, the following distresses will be extracted from the images:
1.) Alligator Cracking, 2.) Longitudinal Cracking, 3.) Transverse Cracking, 4.) Block Cracking, and
5.) Patching. Standard definitions for these distresses are included in ASTM E 1778 — Standard
Terminology Relating to Pavement Distress. In addition, Rutting will be extracted from the Profile
information. The images are processed using a combination of automated crack detection
software and semi - automated manual analysis.
Mr. George Marshall, P.E. June 3, 2011
City of Coppell Page 5 of 11
Task 2 — ROW Asset Inventory
Assets that will be extracted from the Right -of -Way images will include Curb and Gutter,
Sidewalks, and Shoulders. These will be reported with the following information:
• Curb & Gutter
o Travel Direction of Collection Pass
o Yes /No
o Left/Right

Phase V — Pavement Management Services
The tasks of this phase are centered on implementation of a pavement management
system, from software acquisition through data upload through a full budget analysis and work
plan. Five tasks are included in this phase:
Task 1 — Data Upload
Task 2 — PCI Calculation
Task 3 — Development of Network -Level 5 -year Work Plan
Task 4 — Final Report
Task 5 — Provide Viewing Software
Mr. George Marshall, P.E. June 3, 2011
City of Coppell Page 6 of 11
Task 1— Data Upload
This task covers the upload of the complete data set into the pavement management
software. It is Fugro's understanding that the City of Coppell is planning on implementing the
M1cr0PAVERTM pavement management software for this project. The upload will include the
distress inspection information to the Micr0PAVERTM software. The inspection information will be
used to develop a condition rating as described in Task 2 of this phase. The City will be
responsible for acquiring the MicroPAVERTM software on their own.
In addition, photographs taken in the field, by the downward pavement camera and the forward
right -of -way camera will be provided to the City on a USB hard drive. This will allow for future
review of the images by City staff at any time.
Task 2 — PCI Calculation
Fugro will calculate a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) for each pavement section using
industry standard software. This PCI uses a scale from zero (0) for a failed pavement to 100 for a
pavement in perfect condition. The index is based on the type, severity, and extent of surface
distress and it is compliant with ASTM D6433 -99 (Army Corps of Engineers PAVER distress rating
system). The PCC distresses that will be extracted from the images are: 1.) Cracked Slabs, 2.)
Shattered Slabs, 3.) Corner Breaks, and 4.) Faulting (from profile). For the AC surfaced roadways,
the distresses that will be extracted are: 1.) Alligator Cracking, 2.) Longitudinal Cracking, 3.)
Transverse Cracking, 4.) Block Cracking, and 5.) Patching. Standard definitions for these
distresses are included in ASTM E 1778 — Standard Terminology Relating to Pavement Distress.
The images are processed using a combination of automated crack detection software and semi -
automated manual analysis. In addition, Rutting will be extracted from the Profile information.
Additionally, the International Roughness Index for each roadway will be reported. This
provides an assessment of how "bumpy" the roadways are. This is another index that can be used
to help prioritize and select maintenance and rehabilitation strategies for the City. This value is
then converted to a Ride Condition Index (RCI) so that it can be reported on a 0 to 100 scale. The
longitudinal profile- testing program will be performed in accordance with ASTM Test Standard
E950 (Standard Test Method for Measuring Longitudinal Profile Traveled Surfaces with an
Accelerometer Established Inertial Profiling Reference), utilizing a Class 1 device as defined by the
specifications.
Task 3 — Development of Network -Level 5 -year Work Plan
In implementing the pavement management program, Fugro will perform a network -level 5-
year work plan based on the results of the condition survey. A budget analysis of this type allows
for allocation of funds to where they are used the most effectively based on the agency's
maintenance policies. The steps taken during the development of a five -year work plan are as
follows:
• Develop Decision Trees (with City)
Mr. George Marshall, P.E. June 3, 2011
City of Coppell Page 7 of 11
• Develop Unit Costs and Evaluate Maintenance and Rehabilitation Strategies (with City)
• Develop Pavement Performance Models based on results of condition survey
• Develop Preliminary Network -Level 5 -year work plan (with City)
• Finalize Network -Level 5 -year work plan (with City)
It is crucial to have the City's involvement in this task. The goal of this task is to produce a
tool that allows the City to make more informed maintenance and rehabilitation decisions.
Including information from the City is essential to implementing the pavement management
program effectively.
Task 4 — Final Report
A report will be provided with network level maintenance and rehabilitation
recommendations. This report will include the following:
• Summary of fieldwork
• Summary of network condition
• Summary of network -level 5 -year work plan and recommendations
A draft of the report will be prepared and provided to the City of Coppell for review. Upon
inclusion of City comments and acceptance of the report by the City, Fugro will finalize the report.
Task 5— Provide Viewing Software
Viewing software will be provided to facilitate the review of the collected images along with
pavement data. This allows for City staff to view images of the roadway using desktop
workstations. The viewing software displays both, the downward pavement images and right -of-
way images on a computer screen as it simulates driving down the road. Additionally, summaries
of distresses and the ride quality are displayed in tabular and chart form. The viewing software
allows its user to interactively adjust its display speed in real time and jump to the segment location
desired for review. All pavement data is stored in an access data and synchronized with its
associated images.
Phase VI — Training
Fugro can provide training on pavement management concepts, the pavement
management software, and manual field inspection of roadways. During the initial phases of this
project, the items that are most important to the City will be prioritized for training. Should all of the
items listed above be desired for training additional training days may be necessary. It is typical for
the exact agenda for training to be determined after the start of the project.
