Task 1: Project Meetings and Management
Kimley-Horn recognizes that effective project management and clear communication are essential to delivering a successful PMP . Upon notice to proceed (NTP), we will conduct a kick-off meeting with City staff to introduce the team, review project goals, confirm data collection methods, and finalize the schedule and deliverables.
To maintain alignment throughout the project, we anticipate up to eight (8) interim meetings during field work and report preparation, along with monthly project updates. These sessions will focus on schedule tracking, deliverable discussions, and upcoming milestones. We will provide meeting summaries electronically for each session.
At project completion, Kimley-Horn will assist City staff in presenting the program findings to the City Council or other public forum, highlighting objectives, benefits, and outcomes in a clear and compelling manner that connects with community priorities.
Deliverables:
• Kick-off meeting summary, interim meeting notes, and final City Council presentation slides
• Updated project schedule and progress reports
Task 2: Field Data Collection
Kimley-Horn, in partnership with ICC, will collect PCI data for all City street segments in full compliance with ASTM D6433 standards.
Field data collection will include all required attributes: street name, section identification, number of lanes, surface type (asphalt concrete [AC], Portland cement concrete [PCC], or other), length, pavement width, and detailed distress information (type, severity, and extent). We will
survey streets surfaced with both
AC and PCC, with bi-directional data
collection on arterial and secondary
streets to capture the full roadway
cross-section, and single-direction
collection on collectors, industrial, and
local streets as appropriate, for a total
of approximately 290 collection miles.
We will acquire data using ICC’s IrisPRO
Pave vehicle (see Figure 1) equipped
with the Laser Crack Measurement System (LCMS-2), an inertial profiler, and Ladybug 5+ right-of-way imaging system. This integrated platform captures continuous surface imaging, cracking, roughness, rutting, and other surface distresses while simultaneously recording high-resolution right-of-way imagery. This supports a permanent georeferenced record of pavement condition at the time of survey.
We will process and analyze all data using the PCI methodology outlined in ASTM D6433, with results geospatially linked to the City’s approved segmentation. We anticipate leveraging the City’s existing StreetSaver database to streamline integration, making sure that collected data is seamlessly tied to existing inventory attributes.
Deliverables:
• PCI dataset (ASTM D6433) with supporting imagery, linked to City’s segmentation Optional Task 1 – Pavement Depth Data Collection
Kimley-Horn proposes the collection of pavement depth and structural data across the City’s roadway network using a combination of advanced, non-destructive technologies. This information provides critical insight into structural capacity, supports more accurate rehabilitation design, and enhances the reliability of the pavement management program.
Kimley-Horn will engage two specialized subconsultants for this task:
• ICC will perform network-level deflection testing using falling weight deflectometer (FWD) equipment. This method applies a dynamic load to the pavement surface and measures resulting deflections, which can be used to estimate layer stiffness, load-carrying capacity, and identify areas of potential structural weakness. • Infrasense will conduct GPR surveys across street segments requiring additional validation—such as those selected as a CIP project candidate during this pavement management system update. GPR uses high-frequency radar pulses to measure the thickness of asphalt and base layers in a continuous, non-destructive manner. The resulting profiles provide layer depth variability and help detect subsurface anomalies such as stripping or moisture intrusion.
Kimley-Horn will recommend limited destructive coring at selected locations to validate non-destructive results. We will perform coring in coordination with Verdantas only with prior approval from City staff and will coordinate this to minimize disruption to traffic and residents.
Deliverables:
• Effective Structural Number (SN) and deflection data

Optional Task 2 – Pavement Data Viewer
Kimley-Horn’s subconsultant ICC offers a web-based tool for reviewing and visualizing pavement condition data through their cloud-hosted software, Inform™.
This intuitive platform features thematic maps, allowing clients to color-code roads based on PCI, roughness (IRI), rutting index, structural index, and more. This addition enhances the City’s ability to quickly and effectively understand their data with vivid, easy-to-interpret visualizations. Alongside these dynamic maps, Inform™ provides detailed, high-resolution pavement images and classified distresses, all within a geocentric environment, as shown in Figure 2. The software streamlines the analysis process, saving agencies countless field visits and valuable time, making it the simplest yet most comprehensive solution for accessing and interpreting photolog images and pavement condition data.
Deliverables:
• Access to Inform™ software
Optional Tasks 3, 4, and 5 – Non-Pavement Roadway Asset Data Collection
Kimley-Horn will assess and categorize the condition of the collected assets identified in Optional Tasks 3, 4, and 5 (pavement striping, ADA ramps, and utility access locations) into Good, Fair, or Poor condition categories. We will meet with the City prior to data collection to come to a consensus of what constitutes Good, Fair, and Poor for each asset. For example, what might be considered “damaged” or “sunken” for a given manhole may vary from person to person, but our team will work to establish a baseline and report them as such. We will collect all data using a 360° Ladybug camera which is mounted on the same vehicle collecting distress data in Task 2—eliminating the need for multiple mobilizations and allowing all data to be collected in one field effort. This assessment will provide insight for maintenance planning and budget allocation. Please note that our assessment does not include ADA compliance checks. The collected data will include photographs of such elements, location, and condition. The Condition Rating System will be categorized into:
• Good: Elements classified as ‘Good’ will exhibit minimal wear and tear, with no significant defects affecting functionality or safety.
• Fair: Elements rated as ‘Fair’ will show signs of moderate deterioration. This may include minor cracks or surface wear that do not pose immediate safety risks but indicate the need for maintenance within the near future. • Poor: Elements deemed ‘Poor’ will display severe deterioration, including extensive cracking, crumbling, or structural failures. These conditions may compromise safety and accessibility, requiring immediate attention and repair.
Task 3: Records Keeping and Data Entry
Kimley-Horn will update pavement management records across StreetSaver, Microsoft Excel, and GIS following completion of field surveys. Entries will include current inspection results, inspection data from the last update, treatment history, and both past and current PCI values. We will present each PCI score on the 0–100 scale with an associated letter grade (A–F) to provide a clear, user-friendly measure of pavement condition.
Our team is already highly familiar with the City’s GIS network, having recently partnered with staff to clean and organize the database. This experience gives us a unique advantage: we are already aligned with the City’s established naming and numbering system and are well positioned to deliver the most efficient, accurate, and seamless updates to the pavement management system.
We will include the results in a database that integrates inspection data, PCI history, and GIS attributes into one platform.
Deliverables:
• Updated StreetSaver database, Excel files, and GIS files with PCI values, inspection history, and treatment history
• GIS shapefiles aligned with the City’s established conventions Figure 2. InformTM software user interface

Task 4: Define Mitigation Strategies
Kimley-Horn will review and update the City’s existing M&R decision tree, building on our direct experience with the City’s pavement network. We will evaluate the City’s current repair strategies and develop a systematic, cost-effective approach that incorporates PCI levels, roadway classifications, mobilization considerations, and the City’s specific needs.
Our recommendations will cover the full range of maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction strategies, with a focus on practical application, cost efficiency, and long-term performance and sustainability. The selected mitigation strategies will promote the City’s sustainability goals by leveraging materials that mitigate the impacts of Urban Heat Island and make beneficial reuse of existing materials to reduce GHG emissions and extraction of new construction materials. • Maintenance Treatments: Slurry Seal (conventional, rubberized, or latex- modified); Chip Seals and Cape Seals; Microsurfacing; Crack Sealants; Cool Pavement Technologies
• Major Rehabilitation: Mill and Overlay; Rubberized AC Overlay; Fiber-Reinforced Asphalt Concrete (FRAC) Overlay; Cold In-Place Recycling (CIR) • Reconstruction: Full-Depth Remove and Replace (R&R); Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR); Cement-Treated Base (CTB); Soil Stabilization with Geogrids Kimley-Horn has successfully applied these strategies for agencies across California, with particular strength in CIR and FDR applications. These treatments not only restore structural capacity but also recycle existing materials, reduce trucking and disposal costs, and minimize greenhouse gas emissions—offering sustainable, cost-saving solutions that align with the City’s long-term goals.
As part of this task, Kimley-Horn will also provide unit prices for each treatment option, drawing from both the City’s last 5 years of bid results and our extensive Southern California cost database.
Kimley-Horn will evaluate the City’s current slurry and pavement mix designs.
Leveraging our experience with a variety of mix types, including tire rubber modified surface seal (TRMSS) and other advanced slurry seal formulations, we will recommend options tailored specifically for Palm Springs’ desert climate. We will evaluate these alternatives for improved longevity, durability under heat exposure, and life-cycle cost savings. In addition, we will evaluate and recommend slurry seal mixes incorporating reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), which offer improved performance in hot climates, lower costs, and enhanced environmental benefits through material recycling.
Deliverables:
• Updated M&R decision tree with recommended treatments • Unit cost tables for all treatments, based on Southern California market data and the City’s past 5 years of bids
Task 5: Develop a 5-Year CIP
Kimley-Horn will translate the City’s pavement management data and mitigation strategies into a comprehensive 5-year CIP . We will provide cost-effective strategies that optimize pavement performance, integrate sustainable and recycling practices, and extend service life.
Once mitigation strategies and unit costs are finalized, our team will prepare two distinct program lists:
• Slurry Seal Program based on $1,800,000 annually for 5 years • Rehabilitation Program based on $8,000,000 annually for 5 years Each year’s rehabilitation program will target approximately 40–50% arterials and 50–60% residential/collector streets. For arterial streets, we will emphasize corridor continuity, grouping projects into logical, contiguous segments. This approach maximizes construction efficiency, minimizes mobilization costs, and reduces public disruption, which allows for delivering network-wide consistency in pavement condition rather than fragmented, isolated improvements.
We will also support the CIP with a budget scenario analysis for the conditions set forth below:
• No Work Scenario: Illustrates the natural decline of the network without any maintenance or rehabilitation, highlighting the cost of inaction • Unlimited Budget Scenario: Provides a “total needs” assessment by modeling network condition if unlimited funding were applied at the optimal time • Maintain Condition Scenario: Identifies the funding levels required to hold the overall PCI steady over the analysis period
• Current Funding Scenario: Demonstrates the impact of maintaining existing funding habits, quantifying the expected changes in PCI and backlog • Improve PCI Scenario: Evaluates the additional investment required to raise the network PCI to a specific target level selected by the City Kimley-Horn will prepare a draft Pavement Management Report that documents data collection techniques, analysis methods, and information required to establish a PMP .
The draft report will also include the recommended mitigation strategies, unit costs, budget scenario analysis, and the 5-year CIP .

Kimley-Horn will deliver this report in draft form for City review, followed by two (2) comment periods to allow for feedback from the City and discussion between the City and Kimley-Horn. We will then produce a final report that incorporates comments to be used for future decision-making.
Deliverables:
• Draft Pavement Management Report including CIP lists, budget scenario analysis, and executive summary
• Final Pavement Management Report incorporating City comments Task 6: Update Pavement Project Specifications
Kimley-Horn will support the City by updating Section 9 of the City’s Specifications to reflect current industry practices, technologies, and construction methods. Our team will also revise relevant City Standard Drawings for pavement design and construction, aligning them with both the City’s current needs and regional practices.
We will prepare appendices with applicable standards from Caltrans, MUTCD, and other related references that serve as industry benchmarks.
As part of this effort, our engineers will also update bid schedule line items to match today’s construction methods, materials, and unit price practices.
For this project, we will review Section 9 and provide targeted revisions. Kimley-Horn will provide the City with a robust, practical, and contractor-ready set of specifications that support high-quality pavement construction and rehabilitation. We assume 12 hours for this task.
Deliverables:
• Revised Section 9 specifications and updated Standard Drawings for pavement design and construction
• Updated bid schedule line items and appendices with Caltrans, MUTCD, and related standards
C2. Approach to Coordination Efforts
Kimley-Horn recognizes that successful pavement management projects extend beyond technical analysis: effective coordination with City staff, local agencies, utility providers, and regulatory stakeholders are essential to delivering a program that is both technically sound and practically implementable. Our approach emphasizes early engagement, proactive communication, and technical collaboration at every stage.
Coordination with City Staff
Our team will work closely with City staff throughout the project lifecycle. This includes regular project update meetings, collaborative review of draft deliverables, and rapid response to technical questions. Because we already partner with the City on numerous projects and have established working relationships with the City, we are well-positioned to streamline communication and avoid unnecessary learning curves.
Coordination with Local Agencies
Many pavement segments overlap with or impact facilities maintained by neighboring jurisdictions (e.g., County of Riverside, Caltrans, or regional transportation agencies).
Kimley-Horn will leverage our local Palm Desert office and long history of regional collaboration to engage with these stakeholders as needed. This includes confirming jurisdictional boundaries, coordinating work programs, and aiming to achieve consistency with neighboring pavement strategies to avoid conflicts.
Coordination with Utility Companies
Pavement rehabilitation often intersects with utility upgrades, trenching, or planned underground work. Kimley-Horn will coordinate early with utility companies to obtain current and planned utility project information. Where conflicts are identified, we will recommend sequencing adjustments or deferrals to avoid rework, reduce costs, and extend the life of City investments.
Coordination with Regulatory and Permitting Agencies
Our team has extensive experience working with Caltrans, MUTCD standards, air quality districts, and local permitting authorities on pavement-related projects. We will integrate applicable standards and requirements into the City’s specifications and project planning, reducing risk during future project delivery and achieving compliance with all permitting and regulatory obligations.
Our Advantage
Kimley-Horn’s deep regional presence, with active work across numerous Southern California municipalities, provides a unique advantage. We have established relationships with many of the very agencies, utilities, and permitting bodies that the City coordinates with regularly. This positions us to anticipate challenges, accelerate approvals, and minimize disruptions.

END SECTION
10 SECTION 4 – SCOPE OF WORK
4.1 Background:
The City of Palm Springs is seeking proposals for services to update its Pavement Management Program (PMP). The City uses the StreetSaver so ftware to monitor pavement condition index (PCI) scores and maintenance history for all roadways within the public right-of-way. The most recent citywide pavement condition survey was completed in 2022, with the final report issued in May 2023.
The goal of this project is to conduct a new pavement condition survey and provide updated data for the City’s roadway network, which encompasses approximately 245 miles of streets. This information will be used to evaluate current pavement conditions, update PCI scores, and support the City in developing maintenance and rehabilitation priorities for the next 5 years.
This RFP invites consultants to propose innovative yet practical methods for completing the pavement management update, with clear explanations of any proposed enhancements to the standard process and how these would benefit the City.
4.2 Scope of Services:
The scope of work generally includes pavement in spection, assessment, and rating; evaluation and integration with StreetSaver or another recommended software platform; coordination with utility agencies and Private Development to avoid project conflicts, preparation and presentation of a pavement management update report; and development of a 5-year capital improvement plan.
This scope is intended as a guide. Proposers should add any essential tasks not listed and remove any tasks deemed unnecessary for successful project delivery:
1. Project Meetings & Management
Kick-off meeting to further define project goals, data collection methods, and anticipated project schedule.
Anticipate an additional eight (8) interim on-line meetings during field and report writing operations to keep the project on track.
Project management to include monitoring budgets, invoices, resources, and schedule/milestone tracking.
Anticipate one (1) meeting to present report findings at City Council or other public meeting.
2. Field Data Collection
Collect Pavement Condition Index (PCI) data for all street segments using the ASTM D6433 methodology for distress identification, severity classification, and PCI calculation. Automated data collection technologies such as LiDAR, imaging, AI-based systems, etc. are preferred to establish consistency in data collection. If the consultant recommends a manual (visual) inspection instead of automated data collection, the consultant shall provide a written justification explaining why manual methods are more appropriate. Note, the City will not accept any automated data collection where the cameras are mounted inside a vehicle that capture images through the windshield. At a minimum, the field data shall include:
o Street name
o Section IDs
o Number of travel lanes
o Surface type (AC, PCC, or other)
o Street length and pavement surface width
o Pavement surface distresses consistent with ASTM D6433 definitions
11 Optional Task 1 – Pavement Depth Data Collection
o Collect pavement depth data for all street segments using non-destructive scanning technologies such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD), or other recommended methods. Destructive coring may be considered only if necessary to validate results and only at select locations approved by City Staff.
Optional Task 2 – Pavement Data Viewer
o Develop a pavement data viewing platform similar to Coachella Valley Association of Government’s (CVAG) system, that can be incorporated into the City’s GIS, which provides side-by-side visualization of roadway imagery and LiDAR data. The viewer shall display high-resolution street-level photos alongside processed LiDAR outputs, including automated crack detection and distress mapping for every street segment.
o The platform shall allow City staff to zoom into any street segment, view the pavement condition, and identify individual cracks or distresses in detail. See Figure 1 below for similar example.
Figure 1: Example of Pavement Data Viewer
Optional Task 3 – Pavement Marking and Striping Condition o Collect data on the condition of all pavement markings and striping, including lane lines, crosswalks, stop bars, arrows, symbols, and bike lane markings. o Document deficiencies such as fading, loss of retroreflectivity, peeling, cracking, or missing sections.
o Record approximate limits and locations (by street segment) where restriping or replacement is recommended.
o Condition ratings shall follow a simple scale (e.g., Good, Fair, Poor) to allow the City to prioritize restriping needs.
o Provide tabulated data and GIS mapping to clearly identify segments requiring maintenance, repainting, or full striping replacement.
12 Optional Task 4 – Ramp Condition
o Conduct a visual inspection of curb ramps along all surveyed street segments to evaluate general ADA compliance. Measurements of slopes or elevations are not required.
o Verify the presence of truncated domes (detectable warning surfaces) at each ramp location and identify ramps lacking domes.
o Note visible deficiencies such as damaged, misaligned, or non-standard ramp designs that would prevent full ADA compliance.
o Identify missing ramps at crossings where one or more corners lack a curb ramp, such as locations where a ramp exists on one side of a crosswalk but not the opposite side.
o Provide mapping and tabulated data indicating compliant, non-compliant, and missing ramp locations. Data shall be structured to support planning of future ADA ramp upgrades and new installations.
Optional Task 5 – Utility Access Locations and Monuments o Collect and document the location and quantity of surface utility features that may require adjustment during future paving or rehabilitation activities.
Features shall include, but not be limited to:
Water Valves
Gas Valves
Sewer Manholes
Utility Vaults
Traffic Signal loops or pull boxes (only within road surface) Survey monuments
o Provide mapping and tabulated data of each feature by street segment to assist in estimating adjustment quantities during construction. o Identify locations where utility features are damaged, sunken, raised, or otherwise deficient.
3. Records Keeping and Data Entry
Update all pavement management records in StreetSaver, Excel, and GIS. Entries shall include inspection information (past/current), treatment history, and PCI history (past/current). All PCI scores shall be based on a score between 0 to 100, where 0 is the worst condition and 100 is the best condition. An associated letter grade will also be provided along side the PCI score, with F being the worst condition and A being the best condition.
All GIS attributes shall conform to the established naming and numbering system for each street segment in the City GIS files.
4. Define Mitigation Strategies
Review the City’s current repair strategies and provide cost effective preventative maintenance, repair, and rehabilitation strategies based on a systematic approach such as repairs based on PCI, road classifications, mobilization, and specific needs of the City.
Based on current industry repair/rehabilitation options, define unit prices per option that are anticipated within Southern California and the last 5-year bid results in the City of Palm Springs. This price will then be used to estimate project costs of the next five (5) years.
13 Based on current slurry/pavement mix used by the City, suggest a slurry or pavement mix design that may be more suitable for Palm Springs Climate for longevity.
5. Develop a 5-year Capital Improvement Plan
Once mitigation strategies and unit costs are defined, create two lists based on the following:
o Slurry Seal based on $1,800,000 annually for 5 years. o Pavement rehabilitation based on $8,000,000 annually for 5 years. Each annual rehabilitation list shall include approximately 40%-50% arterials and 50%-60% residential/collector streets.
o For arterials, continuity shall be a key consideration when developing the annual project lists. Treatments should be planned in a way that maintains logical progression along each corridor, rather than isolating short or random segments in different years. The goal is to maximize efficiency, ensure corridor-wide consistency in pavement condition, and minimize disruption by addressing contiguous sections wherever feasible, rather than relying solely on spot treatments.
An analysis for various budget scenarios shall also be included within the pavement management report.
6. Update Pavement Project Specifications
Update Section 9 of the City Specifications.
Update relevant City Standard Drawings for pavement design and construction. Provide applicable standards from Caltrans, MUTCD, and other related documents to include in the Specification appendices.
Revise and update bid schedule line items as needed to reflect current construction methods, materials, and unit price practices.
Deliverables
Draft pavement management report to include an executive summary, field data collection techniques, and necessary data to generate a reliable pavement management program.
Final report generated after two comment periods between City and Consultant. Updated StreetSaver program.
Updated Excel files.
Updated GIS files.
PowerPoint presentation to be used at City Council or other public meeting. Provide any recommended pavement inventory software other than StreetSaver if it will be a benefit to the City.
4.3 Compensation:
Provide a cost proposal representing the costs associated with the services required for the project.
The City will use a “Cost Per Unit of Work” method (e.g. lump sum cost per task item or element of work) to pay for professional services relating to these projects; therefore, proposers should list a lump sum cost per each sub-task or item of work, consistent with Section 4.2 Scope of Services included as part of the proposer’s technical proposal.

Scoring: The lowest cost proposal will not necessarily be the selected consultant. Staff will review what is included in each proposal’s scope of services and make sure the costs make sense to what is proposed.
Prior City work - If your firm has prior experience working with the City do not assume this prior work is known to all members of the evaluation committee. All firms are evaluated on the information contained in their request for proposals, information obtained from references (including the city and past performance if applicable), and presentations if requested. All proposals should be prepared as if the evaluation committee members have no knowledge of the firm, their qualifications, or past projects.
*Interviews – The City reserves the right to interview top ranking responders. If interviews are required, the responders invited to interview will be notified in advance and provided a format and time for the interviews. An additional 25 points will be used to score the interview based on the same criteria listed in the RFP. The 25 points will be prorated in the same proportion as the request for proposals scoring listed in the table above. Interviews will be held within 2-3 weeks after proposals are due.
6.2 Selection Process and Award of Contract:
Selection will be made by totaling the points for the proposals and interviews if required. If the fee schedule is not reasonable, the process may continue with the next highest ranked Responder. The City reserves the right to negotiate the terms and conditions of any resulting contract. Final contract award, if any, will be made by the Palm Springs City Council or City Manager depending on value.
The selected firm will be required to comply with all insurance and license requirements of the City.

E. Consultant agrees to require its insurer to modify insurance endorsements to delete any exculpatory wording stating that failure of the insurer to mail written notice of cancellation imposes no obligation, or that any party will "endeavor" (as opposed to being required) to comply with the requirements of the endorsements.

BB&K (2024) Page 9 of 21
and review all such coverage and assumes all responsibility for ensuring that such coverage is provided in conformity with the requirements of this section. Consultant agrees that upon request, all agreements with sub Consultants and others engaged in the Project will be submitted to the City for review.
G. Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or alleged failure on the part of the City to inform Consultant of non-compliance with any insurance requirement in no way imposes any additional obligations on the City nor does it waive any rights in this or any other regard.
H. Consultant shall provide proof that policies of insurance required in this Agreement, expiring during the term of this Agreement, have been renewed or replaced with other policies providing at least the same coverage. Proof that such coverage has been ordered shall be submitted prior to expiration. Endorsements as required in this Agreement applicable to the renewing or new coverage shall be provided to City no later than ten (10) days prior to expiration of the lapsing coverage.
I. Requirements of specific insurance coverage features or limits contained in this section are not intended as limitations on coverage, limits, or other requirements, or as a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any given policy. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue, and is not intended by any party or insured to be limiting or all-inclusive.
J. The requirements in this section supersede all other sections and provisions of this Agreement to the extent that any other section or provision conflicts with or impair the provisions of this section.
K. Consultant agrees to provide immediate notice to City of any claim or loss against Consultant arising out of the Work performed under this Agreement and for any other claim or loss which may reduce the insurance available to pay claims arising out of this Agreement. City assumes no obligation or liability by such notice, but has the right (but not the duty) to monitor the handling of any such claim or claims if they are likely to involve City , or to reduce or dilute insurance available for payment of potential claims.
L. Consultant agrees that the provisions of this section shall not be construed as limiting in any way the extent to which the Consultant may be held responsible for the payment of damages resulting from the Consultant’s activities or the activities of any person or person for which the Consultant is otherwise responsible.
5.4 Sufficiency of Insurers. Insurance required in this Agreement shall be provided by authorized insurers in good standing with the State of California.

City reserves the right to require Consultant’s insurers to provide complete, certified copies of all required insurance policies at 55575.18100\42907009.1
BB&K (2024) Page 10 of 21
any time. Additional insured endorsements are not required for Errors and Omissions and Workers’ Compensation policies.
Verification of Insurance coverage may be provided by: (1) an approved General and/or Auto Liability Endorsement Form for the City of Palm Springs or (2) an acceptable Certificate of Liability Insurance Coverage with an approved Additional Insured Endorsement with the following endorsements stated on the certificate:
A. "The City of Palm Springs, its officials, employees, and agents are named as an additional insured…” ("as respects City of Palm Springs Contract No.___" or "for any and all work performed with the City" may be included in this statement).
B. "This insurance is primary and non-contributory over any insurance or self- insurance the City may have..." (" as respects City of Palm Springs Contract No.___" or "for any and all work performed with the City" may be included in this statement).
C. "Should any of the above described policies be canceled before the expiration date thereof, the issuing company will mail 30 days written notice to the Certificate Holder named." Language such as, “endeavor to” mail and "but failure to mail such notice shall impose no obligation or liability of any kind upon the company, its agents or representative" is not acceptable and must be crossed out.
D. Both the Workers’ Compensation and Employers' Liability policies shall contain the insurer's waiver of subrogation in favor of City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, and volunteers.
In addition to the endorsements listed above, the City of Palm Springs shall be named the certificate holder on the policies.

Task 1: Project Meetings and Management
Kimley-Horn recognizes that effective project management and clear communication are essential to delivering a successful PMP . Upon notice to proceed (NTP), we will conduct a kick-off meeting with City staff to introduce the team, review project goals, confirm data collection methods, and finalize the schedule and deliverables.
To maintain alignment throughout the project, we anticipate up to eight (8) interim meetings during field work and report preparation, along with monthly project updates. These sessions will focus on schedule tracking, deliverable discussions, and upcoming milestones. We will provide meeting summaries electronically for each session.
At project completion, Kimley-Horn will assist City staff in presenting the program findings to the City Council or other public forum, highlighting objectives, benefits, and outcomes in a clear and compelling manner that connects with community priorities.
Deliverables:
• Kick-off meeting summary, interim meeting notes, and final City Council presentation slides
• Updated project schedule and progress reports
Task 2: Field Data Collection
Kimley-Horn, in partnership with ICC, will collect PCI data for all City street segments in full compliance with ASTM D6433 standards.
Field data collection will include all required attributes: street name, section identification, number of lanes, surface type (asphalt concrete [AC], Portland cement concrete [PCC], or other), length, pavement width, and detailed distress information (type, severity, and extent). We will
survey streets surfaced with both
AC and PCC, with bi-directional data
collection on arterial and secondary
streets to capture the full roadway
cross-section, and single-direction
collection on collectors, industrial, and
local streets as appropriate, for a total
of approximately 290 collection miles.
We will acquire data using ICC’s IrisPRO
Pave vehicle (see Figure 1) equipped
with the Laser Crack Measurement System (LCMS-2), an inertial profiler, and Ladybug 5+ right-of-way imaging system. This integrated platform captures continuous surface imaging, cracking, roughness, rutting, and other surface distresses while simultaneously recording high-resolution right-of-way imagery. This supports a permanent georeferenced record of pavement condition at the time of survey.
We will process and analyze all data using the PCI methodology outlined in ASTM D6433, with results geospatially linked to the City’s approved segmentation. We anticipate leveraging the City’s existing StreetSaver database to streamline integration, making sure that collected data is seamlessly tied to existing inventory attributes.
Deliverables:
• PCI dataset (ASTM D6433) with supporting imagery, linked to City’s segmentation Optional Task 1 – Pavement Depth Data Collection
Kimley-Horn proposes the collection of pavement depth and structural data across the City’s roadway network using a combination of advanced, non-destructive technologies. This information provides critical insight into structural capacity, supports more accurate rehabilitation design, and enhances the reliability of the pavement management program.
Kimley-Horn will engage two specialized subconsultants for this task:
• ICC will perform network-level deflection testing using falling weight deflectometer (FWD) equipment. This method applies a dynamic load to the pavement surface and measures resulting deflections, which can be used to estimate layer stiffness, load-carrying capacity, and identify areas of potential structural weakness. • Infrasense will conduct GPR surveys across street segments requiring additional validation—such as those selected as a CIP project candidate during this pavement management system update. GPR uses high-frequency radar pulses to measure the thickness of asphalt and base layers in a continuous, non-destructive manner. The resulting profiles provide layer depth variability and help detect subsurface anomalies such as stripping or moisture intrusion.
Kimley-Horn will recommend limited destructive coring at selected locations to validate non-destructive results. We will perform coring in coordination with Verdantas only with prior approval from City staff and will coordinate this to minimize disruption to traffic and residents.
Deliverables:
• Effective Structural Number (SN) and deflection data

Optional Task 2 – Pavement Data Viewer
Kimley-Horn’s subconsultant ICC offers a web-based tool for reviewing and visualizing pavement condition data through their cloud-hosted software, Inform™.
This intuitive platform features thematic maps, allowing clients to color-code roads based on PCI, roughness (IRI), rutting index, structural index, and more. This addition enhances the City’s ability to quickly and effectively understand their data with vivid, easy-to-interpret visualizations. Alongside these dynamic maps, Inform™ provides detailed, high-resolution pavement images and classified distresses, all within a geocentric environment, as shown in Figure 2. The software streamlines the analysis process, saving agencies countless field visits and valuable time, making it the simplest yet most comprehensive solution for accessing and interpreting photolog images and pavement condition data.
Deliverables:
• Access to Inform™ software
Optional Tasks 3, 4, and 5 – Non-Pavement Roadway Asset Data Collection
Kimley-Horn will assess and categorize the condition of the collected assets identified in Optional Tasks 3, 4, and 5 (pavement striping, ADA ramps, and utility access locations) into Good, Fair, or Poor condition categories. We will meet with the City prior to data collection to come to a consensus of what constitutes Good, Fair, and Poor for each asset. For example, what might be considered “damaged” or “sunken” for a given manhole may vary from person to person, but our team will work to establish a baseline and report them as such. We will collect all data using a 360° Ladybug camera which is mounted on the same vehicle collecting distress data in Task 2—eliminating the need for multiple mobilizations and allowing all data to be collected in one field effort. This assessment will provide insight for maintenance planning and budget allocation. Please note that our assessment does not include ADA compliance checks. The collected data will include photographs of such elements, location, and condition. The Condition Rating System will be categorized into:
• Good: Elements classified as ‘Good’ will exhibit minimal wear and tear, with no significant defects affecting functionality or safety.
• Fair: Elements rated as ‘Fair’ will show signs of moderate deterioration. This may include minor cracks or surface wear that do not pose immediate safety risks but indicate the need for maintenance within the near future. • Poor: Elements deemed ‘Poor’ will display severe deterioration, including extensive cracking, crumbling, or structural failures. These conditions may compromise safety and accessibility, requiring immediate attention and repair.
Task 3: Records Keeping and Data Entry
Kimley-Horn will update pavement management records across StreetSaver, Microsoft Excel, and GIS following completion of field surveys. Entries will include current inspection results, inspection data from the last update, treatment history, and both past and current PCI values. We will present each PCI score on the 0–100 scale with an associated letter grade (A–F) to provide a clear, user-friendly measure of pavement condition.
Our team is already highly familiar with the City’s GIS network, having recently partnered with staff to clean and organize the database. This experience gives us a unique advantage: we are already aligned with the City’s established naming and numbering system and are well positioned to deliver the most efficient, accurate, and seamless updates to the pavement management system.
We will include the results in a database that integrates inspection data, PCI history, and GIS attributes into one platform.
Deliverables:
• Updated StreetSaver database, Excel files, and GIS files with PCI values, inspection history, and treatment history
• GIS shapefiles aligned with the City’s established conventions Figure 2. InformTM software user interface

Task 4: Define Mitigation Strategies
Kimley-Horn will review and update the City’s existing M&R decision tree, building on our direct experience with the City’s pavement network. We will evaluate the City’s current repair strategies and develop a systematic, cost-effective approach that incorporates PCI levels, roadway classifications, mobilization considerations, and the City’s specific needs.
Our recommendations will cover the full range of maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction strategies, with a focus on practical application, cost efficiency, and long-term performance and sustainability. The selected mitigation strategies will promote the City’s sustainability goals by leveraging materials that mitigate the impacts of Urban Heat Island and make beneficial reuse of existing materials to reduce GHG emissions and extraction of new construction materials. • Maintenance Treatments: Slurry Seal (conventional, rubberized, or latex- modified); Chip Seals and Cape Seals; Microsurfacing; Crack Sealants; Cool Pavement Technologies
• Major Rehabilitation: Mill and Overlay; Rubberized AC Overlay; Fiber-Reinforced Asphalt Concrete (FRAC) Overlay; Cold In-Place Recycling (CIR) • Reconstruction: Full-Depth Remove and Replace (R&R); Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR); Cement-Treated Base (CTB); Soil Stabilization with Geogrids Kimley-Horn has successfully applied these strategies for agencies across California, with particular strength in CIR and FDR applications. These treatments not only restore structural capacity but also recycle existing materials, reduce trucking and disposal costs, and minimize greenhouse gas emissions—offering sustainable, cost-saving solutions that align with the City’s long-term goals.
As part of this task, Kimley-Horn will also provide unit prices for each treatment option, drawing from both the City’s last 5 years of bid results and our extensive Southern California cost database.
Kimley-Horn will evaluate the City’s current slurry and pavement mix designs.
Leveraging our experience with a variety of mix types, including tire rubber modified surface seal (TRMSS) and other advanced slurry seal formulations, we will recommend options tailored specifically for Palm Springs’ desert climate. We will evaluate these alternatives for improved longevity, durability under heat exposure, and life-cycle cost savings. In addition, we will evaluate and recommend slurry seal mixes incorporating reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP), which offer improved performance in hot climates, lower costs, and enhanced environmental benefits through material recycling.
Deliverables:
• Updated M&R decision tree with recommended treatments • Unit cost tables for all treatments, based on Southern California market data and the City’s past 5 years of bids
Task 5: Develop a 5-Year CIP
Kimley-Horn will translate the City’s pavement management data and mitigation strategies into a comprehensive 5-year CIP . We will provide cost-effective strategies that optimize pavement performance, integrate sustainable and recycling practices, and extend service life.
Once mitigation strategies and unit costs are finalized, our team will prepare two distinct program lists:
• Slurry Seal Program based on $1,800,000 annually for 5 years • Rehabilitation Program based on $8,000,000 annually for 5 years Each year’s rehabilitation program will target approximately 40–50% arterials and 50–60% residential/collector streets. For arterial streets, we will emphasize corridor continuity, grouping projects into logical, contiguous segments. This approach maximizes construction efficiency, minimizes mobilization costs, and reduces public disruption, which allows for delivering network-wide consistency in pavement condition rather than fragmented, isolated improvements.
We will also support the CIP with a budget scenario analysis for the conditions set forth below:
• No Work Scenario: Illustrates the natural decline of the network without any maintenance or rehabilitation, highlighting the cost of inaction • Unlimited Budget Scenario: Provides a “total needs” assessment by modeling network condition if unlimited funding were applied at the optimal time • Maintain Condition Scenario: Identifies the funding levels required to hold the overall PCI steady over the analysis period
• Current Funding Scenario: Demonstrates the impact of maintaining existing funding habits, quantifying the expected changes in PCI and backlog • Improve PCI Scenario: Evaluates the additional investment required to raise the network PCI to a specific target level selected by the City Kimley-Horn will prepare a draft Pavement Management Report that documents data collection techniques, analysis methods, and information required to establish a PMP .
The draft report will also include the recommended mitigation strategies, unit costs, budget scenario analysis, and the 5-year CIP .

Kimley-Horn will deliver this report in draft form for City review, followed by two (2) comment periods to allow for feedback from the City and discussion between the City and Kimley-Horn. We will then produce a final report that incorporates comments to be used for future decision-making.
Deliverables:
• Draft Pavement Management Report including CIP lists, budget scenario analysis, and executive summary
• Final Pavement Management Report incorporating City comments Task 6: Update Pavement Project Specifications
Kimley-Horn will support the City by updating Section 9 of the City’s Specifications to reflect current industry practices, technologies, and construction methods. Our team will also revise relevant City Standard Drawings for pavement design and construction, aligning them with both the City’s current needs and regional practices.
We will prepare appendices with applicable standards from Caltrans, MUTCD, and other related references that serve as industry benchmarks.
As part of this effort, our engineers will also update bid schedule line items to match today’s construction methods, materials, and unit price practices.
For this project, we will review Section 9 and provide targeted revisions. Kimley-Horn will provide the City with a robust, practical, and contractor-ready set of specifications that support high-quality pavement construction and rehabilitation. We assume 12 hours for this task.
Deliverables:
• Revised Section 9 specifications and updated Standard Drawings for pavement design and construction
• Updated bid schedule line items and appendices with Caltrans, MUTCD, and related standards
C2. Approach to Coordination Efforts
Kimley-Horn recognizes that successful pavement management projects extend beyond technical analysis: effective coordination with City staff, local agencies, utility providers, and regulatory stakeholders are essential to delivering a program that is both technically sound and practically implementable. Our approach emphasizes early engagement, proactive communication, and technical collaboration at every stage.
Coordination with City Staff
Our team will work closely with City staff throughout the project lifecycle. This includes regular project update meetings, collaborative review of draft deliverables, and rapid response to technical questions. Because we already partner with the City on numerous projects and have established working relationships with the City, we are well-positioned to streamline communication and avoid unnecessary learning curves.
Coordination with Local Agencies
Many pavement segments overlap with or impact facilities maintained by neighboring jurisdictions (e.g., County of Riverside, Caltrans, or regional transportation agencies).
Kimley-Horn will leverage our local Palm Desert office and long history of regional collaboration to engage with these stakeholders as needed. This includes confirming jurisdictional boundaries, coordinating work programs, and aiming to achieve consistency with neighboring pavement strategies to avoid conflicts.
Coordination with Utility Companies
Pavement rehabilitation often intersects with utility upgrades, trenching, or planned underground work. Kimley-Horn will coordinate early with utility companies to obtain current and planned utility project information. Where conflicts are identified, we will recommend sequencing adjustments or deferrals to avoid rework, reduce costs, and extend the life of City investments.
Coordination with Regulatory and Permitting Agencies
Our team has extensive experience working with Caltrans, MUTCD standards, air quality districts, and local permitting authorities on pavement-related projects. We will integrate applicable standards and requirements into the City’s specifications and project planning, reducing risk during future project delivery and achieving compliance with all permitting and regulatory obligations.
Our Advantage
Kimley-Horn’s deep regional presence, with active work across numerous Southern California municipalities, provides a unique advantage. We have established relationships with many of the very agencies, utilities, and permitting bodies that the City coordinates with regularly. This positions us to anticipate challenges, accelerate approvals, and minimize disruptions.

By combining technical expertise with a proactive, collaborative approach, Kimley- Horn will provide the City with a well-coordinated pavement management program that not only delivers reliable technical results but also fits seamlessly into the broader fabric of local infrastructure planning and community needs.
C3. Identifying and Resolving Issues
Kimley-Horn understands that even the most well-planned pavement management projects can encounter unforeseen challenges. Our approach to identifying and resolving issues is built around early detection, transparent communication, and technical innovation.
Proactive Identification of Issues
Our team employs multiple tools to identify potential project problems before they escalate. During field data collection, quality control protocols—such as calibration checks, repeat surveys, and spot validations—help flag anomalies in distress data or pavement thickness measurements. On the data management side, our engineers review StreetSaver, Excel, and GIS entries for consistency and perform automated checks to catch mismatches in section identification, attributes, or PCI calculations.
These steps allow us to identify issues early in the process when they can be resolved most cost-effectively.
Approach to Resolution
When issues or conflicts arise, we take a structured, collaborative approach:
• Immediate Communication: We promptly communicate potential problems to City staff, along with recommended options for resolution. • Root-Cause Analysis: Our engineers evaluate technical causes (e.g., data gaps, unexpected field conditions, or conflicting specifications) using both field observations and analytical tools.
• Solution Development: We develop and present alternatives to the City, including cost, schedule, and constructability impacts, so the City can make informed decisions.
Experience Handling Unforeseen Problems
Kimley-Horn has a proven record of managing unexpected challenges for cities across California. Examples include:
• On a recent pavement management project, GPR helped our team identify unforeseen subsurface variability. We quickly collaborated with client staff to refine treatment strategies, avoiding costly overdesign.
• During an FDR project, unexpected utility conflicts surfaced. Our engineers revised the specifications in real time, incorporating sequencing changes and clarifying Contractor responsibilities to keep the project on schedule.
Innovative and Advanced Techniques
We regularly apply advanced techniques to mitigate risks and resolve problems, including:
• Integrated GPR and structural evaluation to cross-validate structural capacity and identify weak pavement zones.
• GIS-driven conflict mapping to overlay planned treatments with utility and agency projects, preventing redundant work.
• Dynamic decision trees that adjust treatment selection when budget or network priorities change.
C4. Project Controls
Kimley-Horn has an excellent record of completing projects on schedule and within budget. We have a sophisticated Management Information System (MIS)—including software such as the CostPoint Engineering Accounting system and Microsoft Power BI—that allows our project managers to monitor budgets and effort closely. Using the Project Effort Reports generated twice monthly by our MIS, project managers gain a clear understanding of the project scope early in the process to develop a realistic, well- thought-out work plan. Once we develop the work plan with the City, project manager Tim Miller, PE communicates the key milestones and submittal dates—including time for QC/QA reviews—as well as the importance of maintaining the established schedule and budget to the project team. This communication, along with teamwork and organization, results in successful projects and satisfied clients.
Since our founding, Kimley-Horn has aggressively pursued a commitment to quality for every task, deliverable, and service provided by the firm. Recognizing the importance of careful QC, Kimley-Horn developed a QC/QA manual that every project manager and task lead is required to know and use. We strive for our procedures to facilitate the delivery of high-quality services that satisfy our clients’ needs on time. Our QC/QA program will include review of project documents and supporting data by our task leads, who will direct individual tasks. Weekly or bimonthly full team meetings with the task lead will enhance this network review. We have used this program in our past experiences working with the City, and we will continue to implement this check on quality for our future work in the City.

C5. City Considerations
Kimley-Horn views the pavement management program as more than a technical exercise; it is a strategic investment tool for the City. Based on our experience with municipalities across Southern California, we recommend the following considerations to maximize the value of this effort:
• Aligning the program with the City’s broader CIP , utility coordination, and long- range transportation planning to reduce costs and minimize disruption • Using clear visuals and summaries to support public communication and council decision-making
• We also recommend positioning the program to adapt to emerging technologies, sustainability initiatives, and funding opportunities, from reflective surface treatments that reduce urban heat island effects to Senate Bill 1 and metropolitan planning organization (MPO) grant programs.
