The Clay County Road and Bridge Department is seeking a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) rating system for asphalt and chip seal streets. The system should include software, data collection services, implementation support, and ongoing maintenance. The selected system will be used to consistently score pavement condition, support maintenance and rehabilitation decision-making, develop capital improvement plans, and communicate roadway conditions to staff, elected officials, and the public. The vendor should provide a complete pavement rating system, which may include software, data collection services, implementation support, and ongoing maintenance. The system should have the ability to accommodate different street functional classes and provide user-friendly reporting, mapping, and analysis tools. The vendor should also provide experience and expertise in providing similar services, as well as a proposed method of performance and project approach.
Key features and requirements of the project include:
• Pavement data collection, including visual or automated pavement distress identification and PCI scoring
• Pavement rating methodology, including a PCI scale from 0 to 100 and clear documentation of rating methodology
• Software and system requirements, including the ability to interface with existing County systems and user-friendly interface for data viewing, editing, and analysis
• Analysis and decision support, including maintenance and rehabilitation recommendations and life-cycle cost analysis
• Implementation and training, including system configuration and setup, data upload and validation, and training for staff
• Ongoing support and maintenance, including technical support and help desk services and software updates and enhancements.
