31526 - 20/21 REC RECREATION AND PARK COMMISSION $48,000

The scope of work in this project consists of utilizing advanced technology vehicles and carts with cameras, high grade GPS and data storage devices to collect detailed distress data throughout the pathways, sidewalks, and roadways in Golden Gate Park and McLaren Park. The approach uses a weighted failures scheme per linear distance for a given pathway or roadway segment. Individual failure or feature types are provided in GIS and given various weightings depending on their contribution to perceived pathway condition. The results are then analyzed by trained technicians to be fed into a sidewalk management software to develop maintenance and capital budget recommendations.

Once the assessment is complete, this data will be added into the City’s deferred maintenance database to help identify where to focus future capital investments and maintenance operations.
