Optional services are also listed which include right of way assets able to be collected, as well as additional support services. To ensure adequate coverage across the network, the Road Surface Tester (RST) will survey the arterial, collector and residential Members of the IMS Engineering, Technical and Sales Teams at our December 2022 in-service meeting week. roadways resulting in a survey mileage of an IMS/City estimated 30 miles. The RST is equipped with a Laser Crack Measuring System 2 (LCMS-2) that is the most technologically advanced data collection equipment available in the industry. IMS will also deploy an outfitted sidewalk and trail testing vehicle to survey the approximately 16.5 miles of City -maintained trails. In addition to our recent experience in the area, it is worth noting that the IMS team has grown significantly since our last survey, both in staffing and equipment.

Kurt brings over 20 years of experience to projects, and his background is at the core of the industry, with experience working for the US Army Corps of Engineers and developing the ASTM D6433 protocols (including MicroPAVER development). We have added six pavement engineers and nine GIS analysts to our team along with eight state-of-the- art Road Surface Testers (RST) equipped with the latest 3D Laser Crack Measurement System (LCMS-2) technology. We have also added Fast Falling Weight Deflectometer (FastFWD) pavement structural testing equipment along with mobile Lidar technology for asset inventories and ADA sidewalk and ramp compliance surveys. The combination of our larger technical team and fleet of testing equipment provides IMS with greater capacity and redundancy for completing larger projects in a timelier manner.

We will strive to become an asset and extension of the City of Arden Hills staff and team. If any questions arise, please do not hesitate to contact me at (480) 980-6547 or nmessick@imsanalysis.com.
