Consulting Services Agreement between City of San Leandro and Last revised 04/16/2026 NCE for Pavement Cut Impact Fee Study Exhibit A – Page 3 of 5 Deflection testing can be used to establish the relative loss of structural capacity resulting from the presence of pavement cuts. This loss of structural capacity necessitates thicker overlays, thus increasing the cost of rehabilitation for a street with cuts over a street with no cuts. The calculation of overlay thickness will require actual existing pavement thickness which will be obtained through cores. By comparing the costs of overlays for sections with and without cuts, the increased cost attributable to the cut can be assessed. This task includes labor related to deflection testing and coring, travel time, cost of traffic control, and reimbursable costs of meal and transportation. Cost of coring could be reduced if the City can provide pavement thickness for the selected candidates. Task IB.3.3 PCI Survey In this task, NCE will conduct PCI walking surveys using the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) modified ASTM D64334 survey procedures on each field site. The field inspection data will be processed using StreetSaver® database to obtain PCI for the sections with and without cuts. The differences in PCI between the sections with and without cuts will be evaluated for functional damage. This task includes labor related to pavement condition survey of 48 100-ft sections (24 pairs of test sites), travel time, reimbursable costs of meal and transportation and field data processing/analysis. Task IC – Develop Fee Schedule Since cuts can cause damage to pavements structurally and functionally, both types of evaluations are crucial in developing a fee to compensate for appropriate damages. NCE will next develop a fee schedule using both approaches (historical and field investigation) that will recover the impact of cuts for the City. Typical costs of repairs and types of repairs will be obtained from the city and will be used to develop the fee. The following cost data will be required from the City to develop the fee: o Construction and construction management of pavements costs o Design costs o Agency overhead costs o Non-pavement items such as striping, traffic control, signal loops etc. o Other costs as appropriate This task includes labor related to data combining/processing/analysis from Tasks IB.2 and IB.3. Task ID – Moratorium Development The City currently does not have a moratorium and would like to have one in place. Under this task, NCE will review the following and provide recommendations for the City: o Moratorium policies of the Cities’ neighboring agencies, o City’s current practices regarding cuts on a newly treated pavement, o City’s usual construction schedule and treatment cycle Task II – Pavement Fee Study Workshop NCE will assist the City in presenting the findings of the pavement fee study at a dedicated workshop. The presentation will include an overview of the methodology, a discussion of evaluated alternatives, and the recommended approach. Prior to the workshop, NCE will meet with City staff to review and Docusign Envelope ID: F4FCBFC6-F136-48C5-BF44-69A3B4443EB2
