RE: Professional Services Agreement for 2021 Pavement Condition Survey /
AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (AECOM) ($35,000)
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 $35,000 and will be funded from the Engineering
Division Operating Budget (Account #01000420-6401/Engineering Division-Contractual Services).
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.
