Waterloo Pavement Management Plan FY2020-26
12/10/2018
THIS AGREEMENT is between the City of Waterloo, Iowa (hereafter"CLIENT") and HR GREEN,
INC. (hereafter"COMPANY").
1.0 Project Understanding
1.1 General Understanding
The project will consist of:
• Review of the City's standards for street construction and maintenance practices and making
recommendations for improvements to achieve long-lasting pavements
• Develop an inventory of the City's street system
• Evaluate the system's current roadway conditions
• Determine major rehabilitation and reconstruction alternatives and the thresholds that will trigger
their use to be used in the data analysis and projections and their life cycle costs
• Develop sustainable maintenance/replacement schedules with annualized costs
1.2 Methodology
Pavement Inventory, Condition Analysis, and Recommending and Prioritizing Improvements:
• IPMP Data—The Iowa Department of Transportation, through the Iowa Pavement Management
Program (IPMP), collects pavement condition data for all public roadways in Iowa on a biennial
basis. This automated data collection, utilizing vehicle-mounted sensors, includes roughness of
the roadways and various pavement distresses such as rutting or cracking. In addition, a video
inventory is obtained. HR Green will analyze this data utilizing the Deighton Total Infrastructure
Management System (dTIMS) software.
• Visual Data—It is important to ground-truth dTIMS analysis through visual inspection, and
augment IPMP data with observations on infrastructure commonly missed by mobile scanning.
HR Green will inspect roadways and record observations with mobile GIS applications. All visual
inspections will be classified in accordance with the University of Wisconsin's Pavement Surface
Evaluation and Rating system (PASER). PASER provides a clear and accessible way to convert
qualitative judgments to a quantitative database.
• Historical review—HR Green will also perform a review of all plans and maintenance histories
provided by the City of Waterloo.
• Putting dTIMS to work—The IPMP provides cities with a powerful tool for pavement management
by subsidizing subscriptions to dTIMS. HR Green's project team has the know-how to put dTIMS
to work for the City of Waterloo. By using the City's key to the software, HR Green can cost-
effectively analyze vast amounts of mobile scanning data that are already available from the
IPMP.With the proper inputs, dTIMS is capable of expediting the LCC analysis process. Properly
utilizing dTIMS with accurate inputs will ensure the right treatment is chosen for the right
pavements at the right time. We will be happy to involve City staff"over the shoulder"in this
process, sharing our knowledge in order to help City staff feel more confident with the software in
the future.
1.3 Design Criteria/Assumptions
• Develop an inventory of the City's street system,which consists of over 400 centerline miles
• Evaluate the system's current roadway conditions
• Determine major rehabilitation and reconstruction alternatives and the thresholds that will trigger
their use to be used in the data analysis and projections and their life cycle costs

8.17 Failure to Abide by Design Documents or To Obtain Guidance
The CLIENT agrees that it would be unfair to hold COMPANY liable for problems that might occur should
COMPANY'S plans,specifications or design intents not be followed,or for problems resulting from others'failure
to obtain and/or follow COMPANY'S
guidance with respect to any errors, omissions, inconsistencies
ambiguities or conflicts which are detected or alleged to exist in or as a consequence of implementin

or other Instruments of Service. The CLIENT also agrees to compensate COMPANY for any time spent and
expenses incurred remedying CLIENT's failures according to COMPANY'S prevailing fee schedule and
expense reimbursement policy.
8.18 Opinion of Probable Construction Cost
As part of the Deliverables, COMPANY may submit to the CLIENT an opinion of probable cost required to
construct work recommended,designed, or specified by COMPANY, if required by CLIENT. COMPANY is not
a construction cost estimator or construction contractor, nor should COMPANY'S rendering an opinion of
probable construction costs be considered equivalent to the nature and extent of service a construction cost
estimator or construction contractor would provide. This requires COMPANY to make a number of assumptions
as to actual conditions that will be encountered on site; the specific decisions of other design professionals
engaged; the means and methods of construction the contractor will employ; the cost and extent of labor,
equipment and materials the contractor will employ; contractor's techniques in determining prices and market
conditions at the time, and other factors over which COMPANY has no control. Given the assumptions which
must be made,COMPANY cannot guarantee the accuracy of its opinions of cost,and in recognition of that fact,
the CLIENT waives any claim against COMPANY relative to the accuracy of COMPANY'S opinion of probable
construction cost.
8.19 Design Information in Electronic Form
Because electronic file information can be easily altered, corrupted, or modified by other parties, either
intentionally or inadvertently,without notice or indication,COMPANY reserves the right to remove itself from its
ownership and/or involvement in the material from each electronic medium not held in its possession. CLIENT
shall retain copies of the work performed by COMPANY in electronic form only for information and use by
CLIENT for the specific purpose for which COMPANY was engaged.Said material shall not be used by CLIENT
or transferred to any other party, for use in other projects, additions to this project, or any other purpose for
which the material was not strictly intended by COMPANY without COMPANY's express written permission.
Any unauthorized use or reuse or modifications of this material shall be at CLIENT'S sole risk. Furthermore,
the CLIENT agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold COMPANY harmless from all claims, injuries, damages,
losses, expenses, and attorney's fees arising out of the modification or reuse of these materials.
The CLIENT recognizes that designs, plans, and data stored on electronic media including, but not limited to
computer disk, magnetic tape, or files transferred via email, may be subject to undetectable alteration and/or
uncontrollable deterioration. The CLIENT, therefore, agrees that COMPANY shall not be liable for the
completeness or accuracy of any materials provided on electronic media after a 30 day inspection period,during
which time COMPANY shall correct any errors detected by the CLIENT to complete the design in accordance
with the intent of the contract and specifications. After 40 days, at the request of the CLIENT,COMPANY shall
submit a final set of sealed drawings, and any additionalservices to be performed by COMPANY relative to the
submitted electronic materials shall be subject to separate Agreement. The CLIENT is aware that differences
may exist between the electronic files delivered and the printed hard-cop
y constructionof a conflict between the signed construction documents prepared by the COMPANYd nocumend electron ctfiles,vthe
signed or sealed hard-copy construction documents shall govern.
8.20 Information Provided by Others
The CLIENT shall furnish, at the CLIENT's expense, all information, requirements, reports, data, surveys and
instructions required by this Agreement. The COMPANY may use such information, requirements, reports,
data, surveys and instructions in performing its services and is entitled to rely upon the accuracy and

completeness thereof. The COMPANY shall not be held responsible for any errors or omissions that may arise
as a result of erroneous or incomplete information provided by the CLIENT and/or the CLIENT's consultants
and contractors.
COMPANY is not responsible for accuracy of any plans,surveys or information of any type including electronic
media prepared by any other consultants, etc. provided to COMPANY for use in preparation of plans. The
CLIENT agrees,to the fullest extent permitted by law,to indemnify and hold harmless the COMPANY from any
damages,liabilities,or costs,including reasonable attorneys'fees and defense costs,arising out of or connected
in any way with the services performed by other consultants engaged by the CLIENT.
COMPANY is not responsible for accuracy of topographic surveys provided by others. A field check of a
topographic survey provided by others will not be done under this Agreement unless indicated in the Scope of
Services.
8.21 Force Majeure
The CLIENT agrees that the COMPANY is not responsible for damages arising directly or indirectly from any
delays for causes beyond the COMPANY's control.CLIENT agrees to defend, indemnify,and hold COMPANY,
its consultants, agents, and employees harmless from any and all liability, other than that caused by the
negligent acts, errors, or omissions of COMPANY, arising out of or resulting from the same. For purposes of
this Agreement, such causes include, but are not limited to, strikes or other labor disputes; severe weather
disruptions or other natural disasters or acts of God; fires, riots, war or other emergencies; failure of any
government agency to act in timely manner;failure of performance by the CLIENT or the CLIENT'S contractors
or consultants; or discovery of any hazardous substances or differing site conditions. Severe weather
disruptions include but are not limited to extensive rain, high winds,snow greater than two(2) inches and ice.
In addition,if the delays resulting from any such causes increase the cost or time required by the COMPANY to
perform its services in an orderly and efficient manner, the COMPANY shall be entitled to a reasonable
adjustment in schedule and compensation.
8.22 Job Site Visits and Safety
Neither the professional activities of COMPANY, nor the presence of COMPANY'S employees and sub-
consultants at a construction site, shall relieve the General Contractor and any other entity of their obligations,
duties and responsibilities including, but not limited to, construction means, methods,sequence,techniques or
procedures necessary for performing, superintending or coordinating all portions of the work of construction in
accordance with the contract documents and any health or safety precautions required by any regulatory
agencies. COMPANY and its personnel have no authority to exercise any control over any construction
contractor or other entity or their employees in connection with their work or any health or safety precautions.
The CLIENT agrees that the General Contractor is solely responsible for job site safety, and warrants that this
intent shall be made evident in the CLIENT's AGREEMENT with the General Contractor. The CLIENT also
agrees that the CLIENT, COMPANY and COMPANY'S consultants shall be indemnified and shall be made
additional insureds on the General Contractor's and all subcontractor's general liability policies on a primary and
non-contributory basis.
8.23 Hazardous Materials
CLIENT hereby understands and agrees that COMPANY has not created nor contributed to the creation or
existence of any or all types of hazardous or toxic wastes, materials, chemical compounds, or substances, or
any other type of environmental hazard or pollution, whether latent or patent, at CLIENT's premises, or in
connection with or related to this project with respect to which COMPANY has been retained to provide
professional engineering services. The compensation to be paid COMPANY for said professional engineering
services is in no way commensurate with, and has not been calculated with reference to, the potential risk of
injury or loss which may be caused by the exposure of persons or property to such substances or conditions.
Therefore,to the fullest extent permitted by law, CLIENT agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold COMPANY, its
officers, directors, employees, and consultants, harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, and
expenses,whether direct,indirect,or consequential, including,but not limited to,attorney fees and Court costs,
arising out of, or resulting from the discharge, escape, release, or saturation of smoke, vapors, soot, fumes,
acid, alkalis, toxic chemicals, liquids gases, or any other materials, irritants, contaminants, or pollutants in or
into the atmosphere, or on, onto, upon, in, or into the surface or subsurface of soil, water, or watercourses,
objects, or any tangible or intangible matter,whether sudden or not.
It is acknowledged by both parties that COMPANY'S scope of services does not include any services related to
asbestos or hazardous or toxic materials. In the event COMPANY or any other party encounters asbestos or
hazardous or toxic materials at the job site, or should it become known in any way that such materials may be
present at the job site or any adjacent areas that may affect the performance of COMPANY'S services,
Version1.0 07012017 Page 7
Attachments
Waterloo Pavement Management Plan FY2020-26
12/10/2018
COMPANY may,at its option and without liability for consequential or any other damages,suspend performance
of services on the project until the CLIENT retains appropriate specialist consultant(s)or contractor(s)to identify,
abate and/or remove the asbestos or hazardous or toxic materials, and warrants that the job site is in full
compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Nothing contained within this Agreement shall be construed or interpreted as requiring COMPANY to assume
the status of a generator, storer, transporter, treater, or disposal facility as those terms appear within the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act,42 U.S.C.A.,§6901 et seq.,as amended,or within any State statute
governing the generation,treatment,storage, and disposal of waste.
8.24 Certificate of Merit
The CLIENT shall make no claim for professional negligence, either directly or in a third party claim, against
COMPANY unless the CLIENT has first provided COMPANY with a written certification executed by an
independent design professional currently practicing in the same discipline as COMPANY and licensed in the
State in which the claim arises. This certification shall: a)contain the name and license number of the certifier;
b) specify each and every act or omission that the certifier contends is a violation of the standard of care
expected of a design professional performing professional services under similar circumstances;and c)state in
complete detail the basis for the certifier's opinion that each such act or omission constitutes such a violation.
This certificate shall be provided to COMPANY not less than thirty(30)calendar days prior to the presentation
of any claim or the institution of any judicial proceeding.
8.25 Limitation of Liability
In recognition of the relative risks and benefits of the Project to both the CLIENT and the COMPANY,the risks
have been allocated such that the CLIENT agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to limit the liability of
the COMPANY and COMPANY'S officers, directors, partners, employees, shareholders, owners and sub-
consultants for any and all claims, losses, costs,damages of any nature whatsoever or claims expenses from
any cause or causes, including attorney's fees and costs and expert-witness fees and costs, so that the total
aggregate liability of the COMPANY and COMPANY'S officers, directors, partners, employees, shareholders,
owners and sub-consultants shall not exceed $50,000.00, or the COMPANY'S total fee for services rendered
on this Project, whichever is greater. It is intended that this limitation apply to any and all liability or cause of
action however alleged or arising, unless otherwise prohibited by law.

The Consultant will coordinate with City Traffic,Water,and Sanitary Departments as well as with private utilities
mainly to gather data on existing utilities and known future improvements.
PHASE B—PUBLIC RELATIONS AND COMMUNICATION
8.1 Public Relations
1.1 City Council Updates
The Consultant will make two(2) presentations to City Council. The first will provide a brief overview of the initiative
and explain the process near the start of the project. Another presentation will be provided near the end of the
contract to describe the final deliverables.
1.2 Website/Brochure Information
The Consultant will provide information to the City for updates to the pavement management website including GIS
mapping and any other information requested by the City.
1.3 Mapping Portal
Prepare GIS-based digital map showing proposed projects with functional dashboard for City staff access and data
entry.
PHASE C—DATA ANALYSIS
C.1 Data GatheringlAnalVs
Consultant will work with City and IPMP staff to obtain and verify pavement data and condition information. The
specific tasks to be performed include the following:
1.1 Inventory Data
The Consultant will compile data from multiple sources including written documentation,the City's Cartegraph
database,and the automated data currently being collected for the City by the IPMP.The Consultant will merge this
data into a usable format within ArcView GIS. Task also includes gathering/merging other data into the GIS database
such as information on the existing infrastructure, including storm sewer,sanitary sewer, bridge inspections,and
traffic signal condition. The City will assist in obtaining water main information from the Waterloo Water Works.
Consultant will rely on City GIS data as well as input from City staff for this information and will not be performing
field inspection/analysis of the infrastructure.
1.2 Data Verification
The automated data collection will provide an analysis of certain characteristics of the roadway. In addition,the
Consultant will conduct limited visual field inspection of the current condition of the roadways to validate/verify the
pavement condition analysis.This includes selective field verification,not a field survey of the entire roadway
network. Consultant will use Iowa DOT Pathweb and available City information,such as condition of curb&gutter
and storm intakes,as the automated data collection generally gives condition of drivable pavement,and does not
include shoulders or curb&gutter.

1.3 Develop Condition Thresholds
The Consultant will coordinate with city staff to determine the desired pavement condition thresholds for the various
roadway classifications.These thresholds will represent the minimum desired pavement conditions at which a
segment of pavement becomes a candidate for improvement,subject to the optimization criteria used in clTIMS.
C.2 Maintenance and Reconstruction Strategies
2.1 Preservation Treatments
The Consultant will review all of the data to determine if applicable preservation treatments can be used to restore
roadway integrity and functional performance.These treatments may include,but are not limited to,thin
maintenance preservation methods,joint repairs,full and partial-depth patching,retrofitted edge drains,and
improving surface drainage.
2.2 Rehabilitation Treatments
The Consultant will determine if rehabilitation treatments are necessary to restore the structural capability of the
roadways.These treatments may include,but are not limited to,asphalt and concrete overlays.
2.3 Reconstruction
The Consultant will determine if the roadway pavement has reached the end of its service life and requires total
reconstruction.A change in surfacing type may also be recommended by the Consultant if deemed appropriate.
2.4 Treatment Factors
The Consultant,along with the City,will assemble a list of any treatment related factors that may come into play in
determining their feasibility.This list may include the City's experience with the use of the treatment,future
maintenance requirements, local contractors'experience with the treatment,availability of needed equipment and
materials,and competition among providers of materials.
2.5 Pavement Performance Curves
The Consultant,with input from City staff,will develop pavement performance curves to be used in the clTIMS
analysis and in the application of the treatment methods.
2.6 Seal Coat Program Optimization
The Consultant,with input from City staff,will look at ways to optimize the$1M currently spent to maintain 60 miles
of seal coat streets(by City crews). This is not a program of work,but includes recommendations on how to improve
the efficiency.
PHASE D—PLAN FOR IMPROVEMENTS
D.1 Determine Improvements
Consultant will work with the City to set priorities for the improvements. Prioritization will utilize pavement condition data,
pavement life-cycle analysis,condition of underlying infrastructure,public input,and available funding.
1.1 Treatment Construction Costs
The Consultant will provide opinions of estimated construction costs to construct each treatment included in the
treatment selection.The City will provide several year's history of bid tabulations to assist in these calculations. These
costs will not include design or engineering costs.
1.2 Treatment Selection
The Consultant will assemble what treatment options or group of treatment options will address the deficiencies and
distresses within the roadways.

1.3 Prioritized Improvements
The Consultant will recommend to the City a preferred strategy that best addresses the needs of the community using
the priorities established.
1.4 Site Reviews
After the prioritization of the improvements,the Consultant will conduct site reviews for the projects included in the
7-year plan to identify project elements and develop project costs.
D.2 Pavement Management Program
2.1 Pavement Management Report
The Consultant will develop a pavement management program report that summarizes the data collection and
analysis,the prioritization of the improvements,and the recommended improvements. Report will include a map(s)
showing condition rating of all the roadways in the City. Portions of this report will be formatted for use on the City's
website and for distribution to the public.
2.2 Develop L.O.S.T.7-year Plan
The Consultant,with assistance/input from City staff,will prepare a 7-year plan programming anticipated Local Option
Sales Tax funds.Consultant will prepare magnitude of costs for design and construction of the recommended
improvements.Task does not include preparation of detailed cost estimates. Goal of Consultant will be to stay within
10%of the annual revenue to be received in each fiscal year for seven(7)years. Funds will be programmed annually
and expenditures broken down by fiscal year. Plan will include programming of design fees and construction fees,
likely in separate fiscal years. The plan will be segregated into 3 phases to allow for flexibility in the actual year that
projects will occur.Our recommendation is that this plan be reviewed and updated every two years,as the roadway
distress data is made available.
2.3 Progress Reporting
It will be important for the City to track the progress of the pavement management plan,and to track to progress of
the program to assist in showing the success of program for possible renewal at the end of the funding period.
The Consultant will update the mapping/visual aids at the end of the first construction year in order for the City to
report their progress back to the public. If the City desires,after the first year the Consultant would be willing to
continue to track these projects for the duration of the L.O.S.T.funds,or the Consultant can train City staff to continue
the progress reporting.
