I. BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE / OVERVIEW
A. Objective
The City of Fort Collins Engineering Department (City) is issuing a Request for
Proposals (RFP) from qualified firms and/or teams interested in providing professional
services to the City for pavement condition data collection.
The City of Fort Collins maintains approximately 565 centerline miles (9,234
segments) of streets in their Pavement Management Application (PMA). To
accurately and effectively manage these assets and be able to proactively schedule
maintenance activities, surface distress data must be collected on these segments.
The pavement surface distress data collection shall identify the type of distresses
present on each pavement segment and determine their severity and quantity. The
Service Provider shall analyze collected data that will produce an overall Pavement
Condition Index (PCI) and International Roughness Index (IRI).
The Service Provider shall perform such duties and services as listed in the Scope of
Work. While it is believed that this scope includes all elements essential to update the
program, those submitting proposals may also note any additional items they believe
to be of value to the City. The cost of such items must be separately noted in the
proposal.
The remainder of this document provides additional information that will allow a
Service Provider to understand the scope of the effort and develop a proposal in the
format desired by the City of Fort Collins.
B. Background
The City of Fort Collins is committed in providing world-class municipal services
through operational excellence and a culture of innovation. In addition, residents and
visitors have come to expect the highest quality of public service over the years. The
City comprises over 57 square miles of land and is located in Larimer County along
Highway 25 corridor.
In an effort to maintain the performance of the road network, the City wishes to
engage a qualified Service Provider to provide pavement condition data collection
services.
II. SCOPE OF PROPOSAL
A. Scope of Work
The following tasks shall be included in the scope of work.
In an effort to maintain an adequate transportation infrastructure, the City of Fort
Collins typically performs a pavement condition data collection on all City’s streets
every three years. The last data collection occurred in 2015 and is currently loaded in
the PMA database. It is the intent of the City to enter into a one-time agreement with
an option to extend an additional four (4), one year periods. This would encompass
one full data collection/evaluation cycle for the City’s entire network of roads.
Methods of distress survey include windshield surveys, automated distress surveys,
semi-automated distress surveys, and various hybrid combinations of these (herein
are collectively referred to as “automated surveys”) shall be considered.

The Service Provider shall perform automated surveys of selected streets within the
City of Fort Collins which shall be in accordance with the distress definitions and
descriptions included in the ASTM D6433 Standard Practice for Roads and Parking
Lots Pavement Condition Index Surveys, most current manual.
Prior to the commencement of field activities, Service Provider will meet with City
personnel. The purpose of this meeting will be to review the distress rating procedure
and the QA/QC process. The data collection crew will stay in touch with City Project
Manager throughout the project with weekly email status reports.
The total centerline mileage to survey is 565 and distress collection, analysis and
product delivery shall be at 100% density within surveyed miles.
1. Data Collection Requirements

personnel working under close review and direction from an experienced
professional engineer and all necessary equipment and materials to obtain

camera, as well as high-definition pavement images acquired with a downward

• Pavement geometry information – Grade and cross-slope
• Accurate GPS coordinates and accurate linear distances to integrate all data
mentioned above
All data collected shall be accessed concurrently within the PathView software, or
approved alternate, to provide an integrated view of pavement condition and
imagery data. This software will be made a part of the product delivery.

“The insurance evidenced by this Certificate will not reduce coverage or limits and
will not be cancelled, except after thirty (30) days written notice has been received

In case of the breach of any provision of the Insurance Requirements, the City, at its
option, may take out and maintain, at the expense of the Service Provider, such
insurance as the City may deem proper and may deduct the cost of such insurance from
any monies which may be due or become due the Service Provider under this
Agreement. The City, its officers, agents and employees shall be named as additional
insureds on the Service Provider 's general liability and automobile liability insurance
policies for any claims arising out of work performed under this Agreement.

maintain during the life of this Agreement for all of the Service Provider's

$500,000 disease aggregate, and $100,000 disease each employee.

liability insurance as will provide coverage for damage claims of personal injury,

be responsible for any liability directly or indirectly arising out of the work
performed under this Agreement by a subcontractor, which liability is not covered

CONFIDENTIALITY
IN CONNECTION WITH SERVICES provided to the City of Fort Collins (the “City”) pursuant to
this Agreement (the “Agreement”), the Service Provider hereby acknowledges that it has been
informed that the City has established policies and procedures with regard to the handling of
confidential information and other sensitive materials.
In consideration of access to certain information, data and material (hereinafter individually and
collectively, regardless of nature, referred to as “information”) that are the property of and/or
relate to the City or its employees, customers or suppliers, which access is related to the
performance of services that the Service Provider has agreed to perform, the Service Provider
hereby acknowledges and agrees as follows:
That information that has or will come into its possession or knowledge in connection with the
performance of services for the City may be confidential and/or proprietary. The Service
Provider agrees to treat as confidential (a) all information that is owned by the City, or that
relates to the business of the City, or that is used by the City in carrying on business, and (b) all
information that is proprietary to a third party (including but not limited to customers and
suppliers of the City). The Service Provider shall not disclose any such information to any
person not having a legitimate need-to-know for purposes authorized by the City. Further, the
Service Provider shall not use such information to obtain any economic or other benefit for itself,
or any third party, except as specifically authorized by the City.
The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the Service Provider understands that it shall
have no obligation under this Agreement with respect to information and material that (a)
becomes generally known to the public by publication or some means other than a breach of
duty of this Agreement, or (b) is required by law, regulation or court order to be disclosed,
provided that the request for such disclosure is proper and the disclosure does not exceed that
which is required. In the event of any disclosure under (b) above, the Service Provider shall
furnish a copy of this Agreement to anyone to whom it is required to make such disclosure and
shall promptly advise the City in writing of each such disclosure.
In the event that the Service Provider ceases to perform services for the City, or the City so
requests for any reason, the Service Provider shall promptly return to the City any and all
information described hereinabove, including all copies, notes and/or summaries (handwritten or
mechanically produced) thereof, in its possession or control or as to which it otherwise has
access.
The Service Provider understands and agrees that the City’s remedies at law for a breach of the
Service Provider’s obligations under this Confidentiality Agreement may be inadequate and that
the City shall, in the event of any such breach, be entitled to seek equitable relief (including
without limitation preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and specific performance) in
addition to all other remedies provided hereunder or available at law.
