Work Plan — Scope of Work conditions and physical characteristics of the segment. Surveying methods will be conducted by remaining consistent with MicroPAVER & the Army Corp of Engineers (ACOE) sampling guidelines while being flexible to current City practices. We use a mixture of windshield and walking survey based on the street conditions found and street functional classifications. If the City has an available high- resolution aerial (approx. 3 "), we will use it to verify street measurements, this will greatly increase survey times and project schedules. If no aerial is available, we will verify segment areas through the City's GIS data and/or our quality control efforts in the field. Our first priority will be pavement condition analysis on the City's Arterial and Collectors. We will use the City's maps generated from Task 1 and database to survey the Arterial and Collector streets. Residential streets will be analyzed in a similar fashion; we will use the working maps from Task 1 to survey the required streets. The survey will be performed by a Bucknam & Associates team that brings a combined 25 years of MicroPAVER inspection experience to the City and has worked under Mr. Peter Bucknam for over ten years. Our use of MicroPAVER- Tablet units allows our staff to collect pavement data with the City of Santa Ana's MicroPAVER database live in the field. At the end of the day all data is transferred to our office for quality control and management. This functionality sets us apart from the competition where we are spending less man -hours to enter the data using the Tablets, while in turn using those man - hour savings to enhance other portions of the project such as CIP reporting, MicroPAVER training, on -call services, etc. A listing of the field attribute data that is updated/verified during the survey for the pavement management database is listed below: 1. Field Attribute Data (updated and/or verified) ❖ From/to, indicating the assigned limits of the section, street name, a street codification ❖ Street classification indicating i.e. local, arterial, or collector, # of lanes, surface type ❖ PCI tracking of historical values from previous inspections and 2008 PCI inspections ❖ Segment quantities, indicating the length, width, and total true area of the section ❖ Structural sections (if available from previous reports or City documents) We welcome staff members from the City of Santa Ana to join any portion of our survey efforts. Condition data will be evaluated for all street segments and shall include the following condition characteristics: ❖ ACOE Pavement 19 AC & PCC distresses by type, severity and area ❖ Pavement Condition Index (PCI), taking into account the surface condition, level of distress. The PCI value ranges between 0 -100, with 100 indicating new pavement. ❖ Other known or found issues (standing water, etc) Our staff will input all collected pavement data into the City's most current licensed software (we will assist the City in obtaining the most recent version of MicroPAVER if the City has not already done so). Using this software, all items listed above will be maintained by our staff for the duration of this project. All data management will be performed in -house at our Laguna. Niguel office using the software's most recent version release. From there we will coordinate 2 -4
