Exhibit 1 - Agenda Information SheetCity of Denton _____________________________________________________________________________________ AGENDA INFORMATION SHEET DEPARTMENT: Procurement DCM: David Gaines DATE: June 28, 2022 SUBJECT Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation, authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Roadway Asset Services, LLC, for parking lot and roadway pavement condition survey services for the Streets Department; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an effective date (RFP 7954 – awarded to Roadway Asset Services, LLC, in the six (6) year not-to-exceed amount of $730,630.00). INFORMATION/BACKGROUND The City of Denton owns and maintains approximately 1,450 lane miles of roadway assets. Every five (5) years, the City commissions a third-party evaluation of the roadway network’s quality. The resulting assessment provides the organization with an asset condition index that staff utilizes to guide maintenance, repair, and capital improvement plans. The most recent assessment was conducted in 2020, and the network’s overall condition index (OCI) was reported as 68 out of a 100-point scale, a 3-point improvement from the 2015 assessment. Much of this improvement can be attributed to increased investments from street reconstruction bond packages as well as increases in the allocation of franchise fees to fund maintenance activities. The Streets Department uses a computer-based Pavement Management System (PMS) to store the asset condition data and run pavement evaluation scenarios from the information previously obtained. These evaluation scenarios allow the City staff to help select the most appropriate treatment for each roadway in the network and to prioritize the required maintenance, repair, and reconstruction activities. As the organization continues such investments and finalizes the long-range funding strategy engagement, it is important to determine the most cost-effective approach to improving asset conditions and maximizing the life of our roadways. To that end, staff initiated a solicitation for professional services to evaluate pavement conditions for both roadways and parking lots. Staff recommends proceeding with the proposal submitted by Roadway Asset Services, LLC. The contract total not-to-exceed amount includes the estimated expenditure assessment services for both roadway and parking lots in Year 1 and Year 6, as shown in the table below. Additional miscellaneous services and contingency for network growth were included as well. City Hall 215 E.
