Project Understanding & Approach
As the City of Orange infrastructure matures, the City’s staff is striving to update the City’s Pavement Management Program (PMP) through cost effective condition surveys, engineering cost evaluation, Arterial CIP and “neighborhood” budgetary reporting and work history updates within the PMP database. Bucknam’s experience through adherence to scope, schedule and cost have proven itself over the past twenty -seven (27) years of PMP service to Southern California local agencies.
The City requires a team that will continue to not only survey the defined sections using cost - conscious methodologies but will create a comprehensive program that includes the enhancement of your multi -year PMP CIP, neighborhood maintenance, essential data for PS&E bid document preparation, MyRoads® publication and the knowledge of the inner workings of your MicroPAVER PMP software.
As shown to the right, Bucknam has
been a key asset in aiding the City
manage its PMP over the past twenty
(20) years. The City PMP Team has
generated a 17 point PCI increase
since 2008; our goal for this project is
to continue this success and identify
what level s of annual revenue are
needed to sustain the high condition
levels thru FY 2033.
Bucknam will provide these services through our proactive and accurate update of your PMP; we will address the City’s primary goals of:
• Updating MicroPAVER with 2025 maintenance data, segmentation improvements and inspections;
• Enhancing the Orange PMP database with 2024 to 2026 work history data entries; • Surveying approx. 95.9 miles of Arterial / Collector sections during FY 2025 -26 & FY 2027-28. Additionally, approx. 330 miles of Arterial / Collector, Local and Alley sections during FY 2029-30;
o Verifying / Updating pavement centerline and metric data (PMP vs. GIS); o Generating Pavement Condition Index (PCI) ratings for each segment; • Developing a proactive preventative slurry seal / overlay rehabilitation schedules based on existing/current capital funding allocations;
• Establishing solid recommendations for current / future maintenance and rehabilitation needs;
• Utilizing the City’s existing /current funding to generate a seven (7) year Capital Improvement Program (CIP);
• Recommending alternative maintenance budgets that demonstrate realistic return -on- investments (ROI), i.e., increase PCI and maintain PCI models, etc.

• Updating the Orange MyRoads® PMP web-portal application We have defined detailed phases to the scope of work in accordance to the City’s RFP;
1. Project Implementation
2. Client Satisfaction
3. Scope of Work (Major Tasks)
1) Project Implementation
TASK 1.1: Project Kickoff
The first step in updating a successful pavement management program truly resides in frequent communication and timely scheduled data updates. For the City of Orange, it will be essential to establish, up front, the Public Works Department-Engineering division’s pavement management priorities. Our team will set up a Project Kickoff meeting with City staff (i.e. Martin Varona, P.E. / PMP Team) to discuss and review in detail the expectations of the project, technical approach, section ID / GIS management & surveys, district/ zone maintenance, MicroPAVER upgrades & use, deliverables within the scope of work and the review of schedule.
This effort will build consensus between the Public Works and Engineering staff as well as build stronger Arterial CIP and L ocal neighborhood maintenance programs that complement large Public Works CIP projects and annual maintenance projects.
Additional key topics to be discussed will include the review and assessment of the existing MicroPAVER pavement plan/data; its current and future use, MyRoads®, survey areas based on recent maintenance work and schedules, new construction, data quality and condition, current pavement procedures, historical expenditure levels and desired service levels. Bucknam currently has access to the City’s most recent MicroPAVER database and will utilize it for project set up.
Deliverable: Meeting minutes, revised project schedule (if necessary)
TASK 1.2: Project Status Meetings - Quality Control Program Status Meetings and Progress Reports
• Minimum of three meetings during the project (kickoff, committee, City Council and status meetings) – minimum of eight (8) hours; Field review meetings; additionally bi- monthly progress status reports will be delivered to the City project manager.
Quality Control (QC)
We will use a statistical sampling approach for measuring the quality of our field technician’s work. In this manner, 10 percent of the original annual surveys will be re -surveyed by an independent survey crew, supervised by a field supervisor, and the results will be compared to the original surveys (this will include a total of 10 miles of QC during FY 2025-26). Our QC process involves checking the field crews’ work in a “blind study” fashion. This will ensure that all field personnel are properly collecting distresses and pavement quantities for all street segments. PCI variance reporting will be performed where previous PCI data will be compared to newly inspected 2025-26 PCI data; if PCI’s vary more than ten (10) points per year Bucknam Project Understanding
City of Orange 1-3
Pavement Management Program (PMP) Consulting Services
staff will assess the potential cause through unrecorded work history, accelerated pavement deterioration, etc. Bucknam will record/log any discrepancies between the previous and current PMP databases (any corrections/changes to the database shall not be made without prior City staff approval). Since we are collecting distress information on our fiel d tablets with the Orange PMP database live, our staff will perform several quality control tests within MicroPAVER using a sample set of the City of Orange’s street distress data. This will ensure that all system and analysis settings as well as City recommendations and standards are being followed.
Over the past two years, Bucknam has submitted over fifty (50+ ) OCTA/METRO compliant reports for Orange and LA County municipalities, they include:
Our surveys follow the accepted ASTM D6433 procedure requirements. A copy of the QA/QC plan utilized by our staff during the project will be submitted along with the PMP certification documents. Our staff attends the OCTA PMP Distress Training Classes held each year, 2011 thru 2025.
In May 2025 our staff was acknowledged as “qualified inspectors and firm” to prepare PMP’s compliant with the OCTA Countywide Pavement Management Guidelines (this certification/compliance runs through June 2027).
Additionally, Bucknam was selected by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) in 2022 to perform a 10 -year Pavement Management Plan analysis on ALL 35 Orange County local agencies PMP’s.

2) Client Satisfaction
TASK 2.1: Project Deliverables
Shown throughout our Scope of Work, each Task is summarized with project deliverables. Client satisfaction will derive from frequent communication with the Project Manager and key staff members from the Public Works department. Project success is created by delivering on three main factors;
1) Adherence to scope tasks and deliverables
2) Performing to the standard set by the Project Schedule; and 3) Controlling costs.
Our Project Manager will follow each of these factors throughout the duration of the project .
Bucknam’s experience through adherence to scope, schedule and budget have proven itself over the past twenty-seven (27) years of PMP service to Southern California local agencies.
Deliverable: Project Status Updates, as stated in Task 1.2
3) Scope of Work (Major Tasks)
TASK 3.1: Update Maintenance and Rehabilitation Activities The City will provide Bucknam with a complete listing of all major work (overlay, slurry, etc.) in hard copy/digital format to Bucknam for updating specific section work histories and PCI ratings.
Bucknam will review all maintenance and rehabilitation projects completed and/or scheduled by the City since the last PMP update in 2024; this will include work history updates on arterials and locals. Our staff will enter the necessary work history updates as mentioned above (i.e. data entry of maintenance / rehabilitation activities) into your MicroPAVER database.
Deliverable: Update PMP data, Work History report
TASK 3.2: Pavement Condition Surveys
First and foremost, the verification of the
City’s pavement segmentation is one of
the key priorities for this project. Based
upon the PMP/GIS section polygons
Bucknam established during the 202 0
PMP update (SF verifications), and w ith
two years between major inspections , it
will be essential to assess the Orange
PMP segmentation. This quality control effort will confirm that section true area SF quantities remain accurate and reliable.
This will in turn create more accurate PCI’s, engineering project cost estimations and total centerline / square footage s of the PMP network. We will review/assess new and/or missing Project Understanding
City of Orange 1-5
Pavement Management Program (PMP) Consulting Services
streets previously excluded from the last PMP update and create the necessary segmentation within the PMP database + GIS links.
Once the pavement segmentation has been verified, the necessary inspections will be performed. Our survey methodology will include the following approach based on ASTM D6433 guidelines:
1. Windshield / Walking - All sections are surveyed through “two -pass test” windshield / walking methodologies. AC/PCC distress types will be collected based upon actual surface conditions and physical characteristics of the segment.
Surveying methods will be conducted by remaining consistent with ASTM D6433 & the Army Corp of Engineers AC/PCC sampling guidelines while being flexible to current City requirements.
All sample locations are observed through windshield / walking surveys; samples areas will cover a minimum of 20% of the total section area and will be 2,500 SF +/ - 1,000 SF in size. The following Orange pavement sections are to be surveyed for the upcoming PMP updates:
• 2025-26 - The inspection of approximately 95.9 miles of MPAH segments will be performed; OCTA PMP report will be submitted prior to June 30, 2026 o Survey will be completed within the 60 calendar day requirement • 2027-28 – The inspection of approximately 95.9 miles of MPAH segments will be performed; OCTA PMP report will be submitted prior to June 30, 2028 o Survey will be completed within the 60 calendar day requirement • 2029-30 - The inspection of approximately 330 miles of MPAH segments will be performed; OCTA PMP report will be submitted prior to June 30, 2030 o Survey will be completed within the 100 calendar day requirement o Alleys will be surveyed during the 2029-30 fiscal year Our use of MicroPAVER tablet units allows our staff to collect pavement data with the City of Orange’s MicroPAVER database live in the field. Updated PMP data/inspections are transferred immediately to the Bucknam’s PMP Dashboard and can be reviewed at any time for quality control and management. Our Tablet methodology sets us apart from the competition since we are using a paper -less inventory process to enter data; this in turn generates cost savings to enhance the project schedule and other portions of the project such as True Area SF calcs, CIP reporting, MicroPAVER training and on-call services.
Roadway Verification Survey - A listing of the field attribute data that is updated/verified during the survey for the pavement management database is listed below (OCTA survey guidelines will be followed):
2. Field Attribute Data (updated and/or verified)
• Street name, from/to, indicating the assigned limits of the section • Street ranking indicating arterial, collector, local, # of lanes, surface type (AC, PCC) • Historical PCI tracking from previous inspections and 2025-26 PCI inspections • Segment quantities, indicating the length, width and area of the section
3. Conditional data will be evaluated for all street segments and will include:
Project Understanding
City of Orange 1-6
Pavement Management Program (PMP) Consulting Services
• ASTM D6433 20 AC & 19 PCC distresses by type, severity and extent • Sampling/conditional data typically pulled from edge -of-pavement to edge- of pavement sample areas
• PCI ratings (0-100), taking into account the surface condition, level of distress We welcome staff members from the City of Orange to join our surveys. All pavement data will be entered into the City’s MicroPAVER licensed software (purchased through this contract).
All items listed above will be maintained by our staff for the duration of this project.
4. Section Distress and PCI Reporting
Upon 60% and 100% completion of the required condition surveys, we will prepare draft PCI Reports and PCI GIS maps that document the conditions of all pavement segments. This report will provide the necessary data for Bucknam and the City to use and determine projected street rehabilitation and maintenance project locations.
The City and our staff will review the PCI reports to ensure that all inventory data is correct and the project is running smoothly. Our PCI Reporting will include:
• PCI Report – Sorted by Name (A to Z), PCI Order (0-100), Zone (1, 2, 3); • Work history report; and
• GIS Maps presenting PCI’s by section.
Once the City has reviewed, assessed and commented on the draft report, we will address all requested revisions and deliver the final reports.
Deliverable: Citywide PCI reports, compliant OCTA PCI reports, PCI Variance report
DEVELOP RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
TASK 3.3: Maintenance and Rehabilitation Assessment / Priorities We will assist the City in developing the most cost- effective preventive maintenance and rehabilitation strategies necessary to achieve the desired level of serviceability. This will be accomplished by meeting with the City to discuss and strategize maintenance /rehabilitation activities that are currently being used by the City. Based on the City’s current AC & PCC applications, and other maintenance practices used, we will conduct an historical and prospective analysis on the conditional and financial impact these practices have on the pavement network.
We will update the Orange MicroPAVER “decision tree” that will be used to generate pavement recommendations that match current fiscal year maintenance /rehabilitation approaches/City practices. This will be accomplished by assessing/updating the unique and individual PCI ranges and deterioration curves within PMP software based on functional class (i.e. arterial, collector and local) and age. Our staff will review the Orange deterioration curves that have been developed based on historical pavement condition, inspection, surface type, and road class data.
All maintenance practices/unit costs and scheduled projects will be integrated into the PMP and will be derived from the most recent construction bids. We will account for inflation rates when long-term revenue projections are made. Our Project Manager/Principal will work closely with the City in defining sound engineering- based repair and rehabilitation strategies for each fiscal Project Understanding
City of Orange 1-7
Pavement Management Program (PMP) Consulting Services
year and for each defined PMP zone within the network. Once the repair/rehabilitation strategies have been defined, a 7-year Arterial/Local Forecast Maintenance & Rehabilitation (FMR) recommendations will be generated. The recommended budget scenarios will be identified on the basis of several criteria:
• Assessment and review of the City’s FY 2025-2030 Pavement CIP • Present pavement conditions; desired levels of service and available resources • Projected / Forecasted PCI’s per section
• Cost benefit / ROI of individual strategies (minimum of three (3) scenarios) • Scheduling with the City’s major CIP projects (water, sewer, etc.) • Budgetary findings/recommendations that satisfy OCTA guidelines • Local “Neighborhood Zone” fiscal year reporting/improvement scheduling • Future routine maintenance needs based on projected deterioration rates The primary emphasis of this task is to maximize the scheduling of street maintenance using the most cost-effective strategies available and taking into account a life-cycle cost analysis.
TASK 3.4: Citywide CIP / OCTA Compliance Budget Reports
We will deliver the Final Report to the City which will be essential for staff reference and use as well as being presented in a way that is beneficial for elected officials/upper management. This report will assist the City in complying with OCTA guidelines and submittal requirements. The report will be prepared in a format that uses the information delivered by MicroPAVER in conjunction with the information and analysis performed by our team. The report will provide the City with information on:
Identify present performance status of the entire network (section by section) as well as historical PCI performance;
Current inventory and pavement conditions indices (PCI) for all road classes; Projected / feasible annual rehabilitation programs for street maintenance for a 7 -yr period (Forecast Maintenance Reports FY 2026-2033) that show the largest return on investment and acceptable levels of service;
o This will include a minimum of three (3) total scenarios; Modeling and comparison of budget scenarios typically include:
o Current City FY 2026-2033 pavement budget;
o Maintain current PCI;
o Increase current PCI to a desired level;
Each scenario will focus on optimizing the citywide PCI while staying within the City’s annual budget forecast;
Strategies and recommendations for the City’s CIP/maintenance programs and procedures, including a preventive maintenance schedule; Project Understanding
City of Orange 1-8
Pavement Management Program (PMP) Consulting Services
Recommended action plan for future PMP updates and Arterial/Collector & Local survey schedules;
Representation of forecasted scenarios within GIS mapping; Supporting documentation required by OCTA;
A detailed breakdown of deferred maintenance (backlog); and Deliverable: Four (4) copies and one (1) digital copy of the Final Pavement PMP Report (.pdf), will be sent to the City and final digital copies of the project related GIS files.
TASK 3.5: PMP – GIS Mapping
As an enhancement and proactive approach to this project, our staff will update the Pavement -GIS link between MicroPAVER, MyRoads® and the City’s GIS Enterprise . Bucknam has access to the 2024 PMP-GIS shapefi le; thi s allows our staff to immediately utilize the file and prepare for internal PMP editing, survey and reporting. The maps described below will be incorporated into the City’s Final PMP report:
• PCI condition values for every section
• Work History identifications
• 7-yr Arterial / Local Rehabilitation and Slurry Seal
Programs
• Functional classification and surface type maps
Once the Pavement Segmentation Report is finalized , we will update the necessary MicroPAVER-GIS linkages. By using the unique Street ID’s within MicroPAVER and the City’s ESRI PMP shapefile ID’s, we will update the one -to-one match for each pavement section in the GIS.
Our staff will coordinate all project deliveries with the Public Works and the GIS division to ensure that the most current and accurate PMP -GIS maps are represented within the City’s GIS enterprise.
Deliverable: Complete GIS files/themes based on list above (project .mxd/shapefiles).
TASK 3.6: Orange MyRoads® PMP Web-Portal
Orange MyRoads® Web-Portal - Bucknam’s MyRoads® is a great match for Orange PMP today and the future. MyRoads® brings your PMP data to life within a dynamic dashboard! Bucknam has shown the 2024 Orange MyRoads® account in active use! Bucknam now provides all our PMP clients with a unique and agency driven “ MyRoads®” web -portal that provides
instantaneous access to your pavement management database.
This “dashboard” allows users to toggle through individual sections via GIS mapping selections, zone queries, rank selection, PCI ranges, etc. to review all section metrics, Project Understanding

latest/previous inspections, work histories generate filtered PCI reports and identify potential maintenance costs based upon your unique needs.
This tool will be accessed by City staff simply through a Username/Password methodology. As changes are made to the Orange PMP database the MyRoads® dataset is changed to reflect work history edits, PCI inspections and section changes.
In summary, MyRoads® allows the user to perform the following dynamic functions:
• Query specific pavement segment(s) to view current/historic PCI, work history inspection;
• Filter for pavement sections within a defined zone, PCI range and/or functional class; • Select a pavement section or grouping of sections through the on-board GIS tool; • Enter slurry, overlay & reconstruction unit costs to determine preliminary cost of maintenance and resulting citywide PCI
o Display critical street / sidewalk / ROW assets along pavement section(s) that are critical to Engineering Bid development and solicitation (ADA ramps, utilities, manholes, trees, etc.
• Displays all final GIS project maps (PCI, work history, 7-yr forecasted maintenance, etc.) • Bucknam will train Orange staff in the simple use of the MyRoads® dashboard.
Deliverable: PMP software training, field and internal technical support
OPTIONAL SERVICES
TASK 3.7: Citywide Sidewalk Management Services
Sidewalk Management Program Support
With the City continuing its
biennial PMP requirement
Bucknam will provide Sidewalk
Management services to aid
our upcoming Pavement
inspections. Due to the fact
that our staff will be actively
surveying the street /PMP
network, Bucknam is
proposing to reduce our
typical citywide sidewalk
survey fees by 20 % since our
staff can perform both the
street and sidewalk surveys
simultaneously. Bucknam will initially need to develop a clear and accurate citywide Sidewalk GIS layer that represents where known sidewalk locations are. This will require Bucknam to digitize sidewalk locations that will be represented by GIS polylines. This first year effort will be Sidewalk Priority
Distress Locations,
associated with
address and
proper side of

Pavement Management Program (PMP) Consulting Services
to update the existing citywide sidewalk polyline layer that will in turn continue upon our sidewalk inspections.
Our staff will utilize the City’s available street segmentation data within MicroPAVER to establish the sidewalk segmentation, survey and schedule. Our staff will utilize additional data such as the City’s GIS centerline, aerial imagery and other viable data that will assist our internal sidewalk GIS layer development and field operations.
All sidewalk inventory and distress data will be collected through the use of our hand -held GPS units. Through the use of ArcPad, our Trimble GPS unit utilizes a data capture screen to record all inventory and inspection data define by the scope of work. Once the sidewalk segmentation has been assessed and verified, the inspection of approximately 561 miles of sidewalk segments will be performed (based on 330 miles of streets with 85% of the sections having sidewalks on both sides). Bucknam will coordinate/perform the sidewalk and pavement management surveys together for efficiency. We welcome staff members from the City of Orange to join our surveys.
Our use of mobile GPS Handheld/Tablet units allows our staff to collect sidewalk data with the City of Orange’s database live in the field. At the end of the day all electronic data is transferred to our office for quality control and management. We can produce Sidewalk GIS Distress locations at any time during the survey for City QC and/or review.
Section Distress and Condition Reporting
At 50% and 100% Bucknam will generate Sidewalk / ADA Ramp Location / Distress Report s for City staff review. The City and our staff will review these reports to ensure that all inventory data is correct and the project is running smoothly.
Deliverable: Defined Priority criteria, updated citywide Sidewalk GIS layer, Citywide Sidewalk Distress Reports, Recommended repairs; GIS Distress/Deficiency maps.
