Funding Source: Funding will be provided from the Motor Fuel Tax Fund in the amount of $82,592 (Account 200.40.5100.65515 – 424005), which has a total FY 2024 budget of $150,000 for this line item, all of which is remaining. CARP: Transportation & Mobility Council Action: For Action Summary: Every five years, the City of Evanston contracts with a firm to do a pavement condition evaluation of the City's streets. The evaluation includes not just an observation of the surface condition but also the detection of the sub-base condition. The gathered data assigns each block a condition score, which can then be used to prioritize the streets for repair and resurfacing. The Public Works Agency uses this information to develop a five-year street resurfacing and water main plan. The City last contracted for the study in 2018, which was used to develop a plan for 2018-2023. Since the equipment looks at every block, additional asset information, such as sign locations, is sometimes added to the contract to gather data used to update the City's Geographic Information System (GIS) system. Doc ID: 6ad85b7ee1842ffb3454b9709364c5c2bda94b50 To update the pavement condition and develop a new five-year program, the following information and analysis are required:  A street surface condition survey (cracking, rut, roughness & macro texture) of all City streets;  A non-destructive roadway base and sub-grade conditions assessment;  An evaluation of appropriate pavement rehabilitation strategies for different types of roadways such as major streets, collectors & neighborhood streets The pavement condition and the ROW inventory will be included as part of the City's GIS system and will be updated by staff as the changes are made in the field. The work is anticipated to occur in the spring and summer of 2024, with data available in the fall. Analysis: The City of Evanston issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to provide citywide pavement condition analysis on 11/16/23. The RFP was advertised in the Chicago Tribune and on Demand Star. The Request for Proposal was sent to five consulting firms. On 12/19/23, three firms submitted cost proposals as follows. The proposals were reviewed by:  Lara Biggs P.E. – City Engineer  Noel Rodriguez – Public Services Bureau Chief  Sat Nagar, P.E. – Senior Project Manager  Bridget Nash – Senior Project Manager  Karra Barnes – GIS Analyst  Linda Thomas – Purchasing Specialist The qualification submittals were rated, and interviews were conducted with the top two firms. Including information from the interviews, the final scoring of the firms is as follows: Page 2 of 4 Doc ID: 6ad85b7ee1842ffb3454b9709364c5c2bda94b50 Based on the proposal submitted (including costs), staff recommends that Infrastructure Management Services be awarded the project contract. They have satisfactorily completed similar projects for the City of Evanston in the past and various municipalities in the Chicagoland area. In addition to the base cost, firms were requested to provide costs for any additional services/data collection that they could provide, but these were not standardized amongst the firms. IMS offered a number of data collection services. Staff is recommending that the following services be added to IMS' contract: Based on the proposal submitted, including costs, staff recommends that Infrastructure Management Services be awarded the project contract, including the base scope and four additional tasks. They have completed similar projects for the City of Evanston in the past and various municipalities in the Chicagoland area. IMS proposes using a M/W/D/EBE firm as the subcontractor for traffic control. Given the nature and scope of the project, the City's M/W/D/EBE requirement has been partially waived. The M/W/D/EBE schedule and a memo reviewing their compliance are attached.

IMS is an industry leader with 38 years of pavement and asset management experience. Since our founding in 1985, we have provided services like those requested by the City to more than 1,000 municipalities across the United States and more than 60 in the State of Illinois. Most importantly, we are excited for the opportunity to contribute to the success of another pavement management project for the City! IMS performed a pavement condition survey, developed ROW asset, signs, and signals inventories, and prepared a final report with pavement M&R recommendations for the City in 2018. Our team is familiar with the City’s roadway network, and will be able to capitalize on the historical inventory and condition data that we developed with the City during the previous project. In 2018, IMS was brought under new leadership, and our technical team has since undergone a major transformation, increasing both in size and capabilities. We have tripled the size of our engineering team and we have added significant in-house GIS capabilities as well. In addition, we upgraded our entire fleet of road surface testers (RSTs) with state-of-the-art second generation laser crack measurement system (LCMS-2) technology, which operates at posted speeds while collecting high resolution detailed 3D imagery. We now have the largest fleet of RST LCMS-2 systems dedicated to municipal pavement management in the United States. This allows us the ability to deploy multiple systems to meet project schedules and provides us with operational redundancy, which is critical when fielding advanced technologies. We have also replaced our fleet of Dynaflect systems for assessing the load carrying capacity of roads with state-of-the-art Fast Falling Weight Deflectometers (FastFWDs). These new FastFWD systems collect more comprehensive and more accurate data much faster than earlier evolutions of the technology. This data is then processed by our engineers to help the City determine the most appropriate rehabilitation activity (i.e., mill and overlay versus reconstruction). Project Manager Dave Bratton, PE (IL PE No. 062072138) will lead the IMS team and has extensive pavement management experience in Illinois. He understands how important accurate pavement condition data is to maintaining safety along the City’s roadway network and will leverage his recent experience leading several Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) pavement management projects to provide the City with informed perspectives and tailored solutions to challenges common in the region. We are currently performing several pavement and asset management projects in Illinois, including Lake County, Highland Park, Addison, and Lindenhurst among others.
