SECTION I - INTRODUCTION
The Town of Plainfield, Connecticut (the "Town"), is soliciting proposals from qualified consultants to provide pavement
management program services for the Town’s roadway network. The selected consultant will support the Town in
establishing a GIS-integrated pavement management program that includes automated roadway data acquisition, AI
identification and tracking of road assets, condition assessment, analysis, mapping, reporting, and deployment of results
in a user-friendly platform.
SECTION II - GENERAL INFORMATION FOR PROPOSERS
The Town seeks proposals from firms with demonstrated experience providing pavement management and GIS-based
asset management services to public agencies. The Town’s roadway network is anticipated to include approximately 102
centerline miles of Town-maintained roadways.
The solution should include a complete roadway inventory, AI driven automated pavement condition evaluation
supported by imagery, and an industry standard 0-100 roadway condition score for each roadway segment (typically
intersection-to-intersection). Data must be compatible with the ESRI GIS environment and be deployable through ArcGIS
Online (AGOL) applications (e.g., web maps, dashboards, or comparable tools).
The scope also includes network-level analysis, capital planning and budgeting support, report deliverables, training, and
ongoing data management/support. The Town is also interested in optional add-on inventories that may be generated
from imagery, such as traffic signs, manholes, and drains.
