Statewide Airport Pavement Management QUESTION
1: Is this an update of
an existing MicroPAVER APMS or will this be an initial inspection and implementation? ANSWER
1: It will be an
initial inspection and implementation. QUESTION
2: What type of analysis do
you want performed (just pavement condition data gathered, entered into MicroPAVER, and a list of Pavement Condition Index (PCI)
values compiled and pavement condition maps prepared or a full pavement
management analysis including a multi-year maintenance and rehabilitation
program)? ANSWER
2: It will most likely
be in-between the two scenarios mentioned. The exact scope will be
determined after selection, based on available funding. Consultants
should plan on, at the least, gathering data, entering it into MicroPAVER, compiling a list of PCI's, and some form of
pavement analysis, including recommendations on preferred pavement
maintenance required. QUESTION
3. What type of reports do
you want generated as part of the project (executive, statewide, individual
airport, none). ANSWER
3: We will be expecting
individual airport reports. The KY Department of Aviation will be
responsible for combining the individual reports into a statewide plan. QUESTION

subconsultant staff be included? ANSWER

AIRPORT PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT QUESTION:
Does the department desire the
selected consultant to provide reports for each airport including detailed
maintenance plans and estimated capital improvement funding needs, or does
the department desire to make these determinations in house based on data
provided in the APMS software? ANSWER:
The KY Department of Aviation
does require maintenance plans based on the firms experience and the results
of the APMS analysis. This should include cost estimates for the
recommended action at each airport. It will be up to the Department of
Aviation to prioritize the airports and projects based on this information. QUESTION:
Does the department
anticipate that pavement cores, nondestructive testing (fall weight deflectometer), or engineering analysis to determine
pavement load carrying capacity will be included in the base scope of
services, or would these be considered as additional services to be performed
if needed? ANSWER: No structural/load bearing analysis will be
required as a part of the initial project scope. If it is decided that
these services are required, they will be considered "additional
services".
