of W
Oshkosh
MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council
FROM: John Fitzpatrick, Assistant City Manage
DATE: August 8, 2019
RE: Professional Services Agreement for 2019 Pavement Condition Survey/
AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM) ($35,260)
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation requires all local units of government to complete
pavement condition surveys bi-annually. The pavement condition survey is conducted utilizing the
Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating (PASER) system to visually assess the condition of pavement
surfaces. The PASER system was developed by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Transportation
Information Center in order to provide a standard system for rating street surface conditions.
The Department of Public Works requested a proposal from AECOM to conduct the bi-annual pavement
condition survey. AECOM was selected due to their extensive experience performing these pavement
condition assessments and their familiarity with the City of Oshkosh and our needs.
The cost of these services is estimated not to exceed $35,260 and will be funded from the Engineering
Division Operating Budget.
Chapter 12 of the Municipal Code provides that professional services of a specialized nature, including
engineering services, may be approved by the City Manager without the use of formal,sealed quotes. In
accordance with Section 12-16 of the Code, I am here by submitting this report regarding this
professional services agreement.

Proposal for 2019 Pavement Condition Survey OSHKOSH w1ruBL1C WORKS
H, WISCONSIN
Dear Mr. Gierach,
AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM)is pleased to provide you with our proposal for performing a pavement
condition survey on all roadway segments in the City of Oshkosh GIS database.The survey will fulfill the Wisconsin
Department of Transportation 2019 pavement ratings submittal requirements and provide the City of Oshkosh (City)
with an updated pavement condition rating.
Background/Project Understanding
The City maintains an inventory of pavement assets in a Geographic Information System (GIS)format. The inventory
was originally developed to meet the Wisconsin Department of Transportation's (WisDOT) Roadware format.
Roadware has migrated to PASERWARE,which is now the basis for the Wisconsin Information System for Local
Roads (WISLR). The City continues to use its GIS pavement data for management of City streets. The City's 2017
GIS file included over 1,700 street segments. The current WISLR file is comprised of over 2,700 street records. The
City's GIS TAG value is used as the WISLR Local ID connecting the two data sets.
The City pavement inventory is used to collect Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating (PASER)data on manual
field forms, which are used to populate the IGIS. In addition to PASER ratings, pavement notes are recorded, as well
as curb condition. Pavement notes are used primarily for Capital Improvement Plans(CIP). The City begins CIP
work with a review of PASER ratings followed by reviewing select Memo fields for specific segments. Pavement data
is then reviewed together with utility/underground data to select projects into the CIP.
During pavement condition inspections, a separate log is kept regarding potential un-permitted patches for further
research by City staff. Another separate log is kept for items requiring emergency or sustaining maintenance by the
Street Division.
PASER ratings from field inspection forms are returned to the office where they are entered into GIS. Bi-annually, per
WisDOT requirements, the pavement inventory and condition data are entered into the WISLR website. December
15, 2019 is the deadline for the next WISLR report.
The purpose of the proposed project is for AECOM to collect the 2019 pavement condition and related data in order to
meet City planning and WISLR deadlines. The following sections present the proposed scope tasks, schedule, and
fee to achieve the project purpose.
Scope of Work
The tasks below define AECOM's proposed scope of work broken down by pre-field activities, field work, and post-
field activities.
Task 1 - Pre-Field Activities
AECOM will conduct a review of the City's GIS file and then will prepare materials to complete the field data collection.

Proposal.docx 1/5
AECOMImagine it.
Delivered.
AECOM will coordinate with City staff to identify a schedule to optimize field data collection on streets where activity
may impact pavement inspections. Issues may include:
• 2019 construction(e.g. pavement, underground, adjacent parcel)
• Planned 2019 maintenance
• Other 2019 closures
ASSUMPTIONS
The City will provide a current GIS shapefile or geodatabase of the pavement inventory with all required attributes for
2019 field inspection. Once the GIS file is provided to AECOM, further GIS updates done by the City will be complied
and delivered to AECOM monthly. It is understood that the TAG field is the unique identifier in the GIS for pavement
inventory elements.
The City will provide any permits necessary to conduct field inspections.
No traffic control will be required to conduct field inspections.
Task 2 - Field Work
AECOM will provide experienced staff to conduct windshield surveys of the streets in the City's GIS file similar to 2017
pavement inspections performed by AECOM's staff.
AECOM will manually populate new columns in the field forms with the following data:
• 2019 PASER rating
• 2019 Curb rating
• AECOM Memo fields
— Atypical distress
— Construction notes
— Maintenance notes
Where the pavement inventory encountered varies from that provided in the GIS,AECOM will provide an exceptions
log for resolution by City staff. Pavement inventory variances may include apparent differences in age, material, or
estimated length. Following City inventory re-definition,AECOM will complete the field survey on those segments.
Contents of the curb rating and maintenance notes will be coordinated with City staff to follow a process similar to that
performed in previous years.
AECOM will record two separate field logs—one for potential un-permitted patches and one for severe pavement
distress for potential City maintenance action.
ASSUMPTIONS
The proposed project comprises a planning-level inspection using a windshield survey method. Therefore, the intent
is not to capture every occurrence within the City of the pavement distress needing maintenance. Parked cars, traffic,
etc. can impact visualization of these items.
The City will resolve pavement inventory variances identified by AECOM in time to allow completion of the pavement
inspection by the WISLR deadline.
DELIVERABLES
AECOM will deliver an MS Excel file for variances of field inventory versus GIS inventory.

AECOMImagine it.
Delivered.
Task 3 - Post-Field Activities
AECOM will convert the manual field data collection forms to a digital file for the City to use in updating the City's GIS
data via the TAG link.
AECOM will format the two separate field logs(unpermitted patches and potential maintenance)as Excel
spreadsheets with the TAG field to facilitate City action.
AECOM will enter PASER ratings and year using the WISLR website or alternate approved methods. Where WISLR
physical inventory definitions are not reconcilable with the field inspection records,AECOM will create a list of TAGs
requiring City resolution.
ASSUMPTIONS
The City will grant WISLR update privileges for up to three AECOM staff who have existing WisDOT accounts.
The City will have updated physical attribute data in WISLR prior to AECOM PASER data entry.
DELIVERABLES
AECOM will deliver an Excel file of the pavement inspection field sheets upon completion of all field inspections.
AECOM will deliver an Excel file for the two separate field logs(potential un-permitted patches and potential City
maintenance action). AECOM will confer with the City to establish a final format for delivery depending on the number
of items encountered.
AECOM will update WISLR with the PASER rating by November 30, 2019.
AECOM will provide a MS Excel spreadsheet showing City GIS TAGS that are incompatible with WISLR records.
Task 4 — Project Management
AECOM will conduct project management services consistent with previous projects that AECOM has conducted for
the City. Project Management services include communications, quality control, meetings, and invoicing.
Schedule
The project schedule is driven by the WISLR deadline of December 15, 2019. The following schedule identifies
milestones for the tasks defined in the scope of work above.
Task Start Date Completion Date
Task 1 — Pre-Field Activities August 1,2019 August 15, 2019
