Staff issued a request for proposals in March, and received <br />two proposals by the deadline of April 29. We received two proposals: one from GoodPointe <br />Technology Corporation and one from Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates. The 2005 <br />budget includes $15,000 for performing the PCI ratings process this year. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br />The City has implemented a pavement management program (PMP), which includes field <br />surveying each roadway every three years to monitor its conditions, identify trends and <br />extrapolate pavement life expectancies. This survey measures all the pavement distresses within <br />a road segment and results in a numerical Pavement Condition Index (PCI) unique to each <br />particular road segment. To implement a maintenance program, specific <br />rehabilitation/reconstruction treatments are recommended based on the PCI values of a section of <br />roadway. A specific PCI value is assigned to streets and used to rank all the City streets in order, <br />from highest to lowest. The PCI value does not determine the rehabilitation or reconstruction <br />cost of a ptoject, but merely prioritizes all the City streets to determine those that are in the <br />worse condition and in urgent need of repair. In addition to surface PCI ratings, issues such as <br />storm water drainage/flooding, water quality improvements, design standardization, and utility <br />condition are considered when developing the recommended priority for reconstruction and <br />rehabilitation of City roadways. This approach allows for the City to effectively address storm <br />water drainage and water quality issues. <br /> <br />Proposal: GoodPointe Technology <br />GoodPointe Technology (GoodPointe) is specialized in developing roadway infrastructure <br />management systems, collecting infrastructure condition data, and providing ongoing technical <br />support. GoodPointe is headquartered in St. Paul. They have been developing pavement <br />management consultation relationships with local, national, and international government <br />
