Pavement Smoothness Testing & IRI Data Collection

The contract requires field-based pavement smoothness testing using inertial profiler technology to collect International Roughness Index (IRI) data along a 3.16-mile roadway segment in Berkeley, West Virginia. The primary objective is to generate accurate and reliable IRI measurements in both travel directions to support pre-PS&E analysis, ensuring that pavement conditions are quantified for future design and rehabilitation planning. All testing must be conducted with calibrated equipment to meet industry standards for precision and consistency in roughness assessment. Deliverables include detailed segment-specific IRI reports for each travel direction alongside summarized metrics that encapsulate key performance indicators for the roadway segment. These reports will serve as foundational data for transportation engineers evaluating pavement quality prior to project design phases. The work is classified under NAICS code 541380 and is structured as a subcontract under the West Virginia Department of Transportation. The contract was posted on May 19, 2026, with a matching response deadline, indicating a highly time-sensitive procurement process with no set-aside provisions. Performance is focused exclusively at the designated location in Berkeley, with no indication of regional expansion or additional sites.
