Project Initiation and Network Definition. This project is scheduled to occur in 2022 after approval by the County. We propose a short kickoff meeting at the beginning of the project to review the work plan, schedule, and deliverables. This discussion will help establish a foundation for successful completion. Once the project is underway, we will schedule routine project coordination teleconferences. APTech will provide periodic status updates to confirm project progress. Dates that the equipment is in the County will be coordinated so that the County can review the EDGE van should they desire to do so. APTech has a GIS shapefile of the County roadway network provided for project scoping. It would be prudent to coordinate and update this information before proceeding to ensure that all streets within the County jurisdiction are included. Based on our initial review of the available files, it appears the County streets total approximately 2,000 centerline miles, are predominantly 2-lane, and consist of a mix of hot- mix asphalt concrete, portland cement concrete, and gravel surfaces. APTech will review the GIS roadway shapefile with the County, and once complete will use that information to plan the data collection effort. This will include a review of roadway segmentation and planning for routing to make sure that data collection is complete and efficient. Data collected by our vehicle is geo-referenced, so we maintain the ability to validate location of collected data and correct segmentation as required.
