The Capital Region Planning Commission (CRPC) invites qualified firms to submit proposals for the Pavement and Asset Data Collection (PADC) for the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Planning Area (BR-MPA). The aim is to collect and analyze pavement and asset related data within the BR- MPA.
In general, this requires the consultant to provide all necessary engineering, GIS, technology and related services required to collect forward facing perspective images, right facing right-of-way images, pavement images, pavement distress data and pavement management data necessary to digitally quantify the Network Level Condition of the Non-State system roadways in the CRPC MPO Parishes. The consultant will also be required to capture and deliver data, imagery and assets for a defined length of the local jurisdiction public road network not maintained by CRPC, as defined in the advertised RFP.
The Consultant will be required to convert or configure the past data collection cycle to a format that allows their proposed software solutions to access and display this data and imagery in conjunction with the data and imagery the Consultant will capture for this RFP.
Selection for the consultant to conduct the second round of surveying will be conducted following a rigorous process that includes past cycle operations, data quality, analysis as well as interaction with the previous contractor. CRPC asset management team also conducted intensive research on top contractors in the market who have the capability of implementing pavement and roadway asset surveys with similar or comparable technology within the same time frame.
Data collection is expected to start by May 3, 2021. Timelines of delivery will be attached in a separate appendix as requested by CRPC.
