5 <br />PROJECT UNDERSTANDING <br />UNDERSTANDING <br />Summit has been servicing clients in the Triangle area <br />for decades. That includes projects for municipalities <br />located in Orange County. In fact, our headquarters is <br />in Hillsborough, the heart of Orange County and we <br />value being a neighbor and contributing to the success <br />of the community. Our goal is to develop a long-term <br />relationship with the County to support cost effective <br />asset management of the 40+ County owned parking <br />lots. <br />Our team has extensive experience with parking lots and <br />roadway maintenance. They have performed numerous <br />pavement condition surveys and assessments of parking <br />lots, driveways, and roadways for municipalities and <br />public school systems. We have used the results of those <br />surveys to recommend resurfacing and maintenance <br />treatments. In addition, we have assisted with bid <br />processes and construction inspection on those parking <br />lots. We possess the understanding and experience in <br />developing local government pavement infrastructure <br />budgets for maintenance, preservation, and resurfacing <br />to improve parking lots across the county. <br />What sets the Summit team apart is our experience <br />in providing contract administration, inspection, and <br />assurance of value provided by the contractor to the <br />County. Our team is comprised of pavement maintenance <br />and preservation experts and understands the benefit of <br />combining preservation treatments with resurfacing. Our <br />ability to assess, design, specify and provide contract <br />documents streamlines the workflow process. <br />Summit has built its reputation as a firm that has its <br />clients’ bests interests in mind. Our approach will be to act <br />as an extension of Orange County staff, ensuring that all <br />work is completed in accordance with the specifications <br />set forth by the County. To accomplish this, Summit will <br />provide direct coordination between the Summit Team, <br />Orange County, and any Contractor. <br />Our team brings the ability to optimize maintenance, <br />preservation, and resurfacing programs. We will partner <br />with the County to verify the “tools in the toolbox” <br />to maintain an effective pavement infrastructure. We <br />are able to recommend cost effective maintenance, <br />preservation, and resurfacing treatments. We understand <br />that a cost-effective data driven pavement plan includes <br />the right treatment on the right pavement at the right <br />time. We are committed to partnering with the County <br />to develop a long-term pavement management program <br />that achieves that goal. <br />METHODOLOGY AND APPROACH <br />1. A visual evaluation of the 40+ parking lots at the County facilities. The information gathered will include physical characteristics and pavement distress types. <br />Our approach to meeting the deliverables and project <br />scope will begin with our Project Manager, Scott Capps, <br />PE, and Data Management and GIS team comprised <br />of Randall Moore and Katherine Rudzki reviewing the <br />current inventory data and shapefiles provided by the <br />County. This can also include any other maps, databases <br />and or plans related to these facilities. All data will be <br />compared to ensure there are no missing facilities. <br />2. The pavement condition evaluation shall be performed in accordance with ITRE Standards, Distress Identification Manual for the Pavement Performance Program. <br />Our assessment team will utilize the developed GIS <br />layers along with ArcGIS Collector to evaluate each <br />parking lot and driveway. This will streamline and <br />seamlessly connect field crews and data managers for the <br />overall success of the data collection workflow. The web <br />map created in ArcGIS On-line will allow editing and <br />data collection in the field using ArcGIS Collector. This <br />innovative approach improves accuracy, consistency, and <br />timeliness, a benefit passed directly to the County. <br />For this project we will utilize the Institute of <br />Transportation Research and Education (ITRE) <br />Pavement Condition Survey which was developed in <br />part by our QA/QC project manager James Martin. <br />Therefore, we are very familiar with this and have used <br />it to perform multiple municipal Pavement Condition <br />Surveys. Pavement distresses identified in the Distress <br />Identification Manual will be evaluated based on <br />distress type, severity, and extent. The primary pavement <br />distresses affecting the Pavement Condition Rating <br />(PCR) include: <br />• Fatigue Cracking (Alligator/Edge) <br />• Transverse Cracking (Block/Reflective) <br />• Deformations (Rutting/Depressions/Shoving) <br />• Patching/Potholes/Utility Cuts <br />• Surface Defects (Raveling/Bleeding/Oxidation) <br />Our methodology and approach is based on our extensive <br />experience and understanding of the direct relationship <br />between defects, pavement condition rating, and <br />treatment recommendations. In conjunction with the <br />field assessment and visual inspection, our assessment <br />team will document and/or verify the existing attributes <br />of the parking lots, including pavement surface type, <br />dimensions, presence of curb and gutter, presence of <br />utilities, and any additional attributes requested by <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: C184AD78-4B0F-4094-BB2A-3E82CEE7D0AC
