SCOPE OF WORK I 2r
Due to the operational issues associated with the tight diamond alternative
and the potential of precluding other future corridor improvements with the
SPUI alternative, the interchange alternative that is most likely to proceed is a
modified version of the compressed diamond alternative that was presented in
the Crossroads Area Transportation Study. The interchange includes on ramps
to I-25 in both the northeast and southwest quadrants and off ramps to SH 392
in both the northwest and southeast quadrants. The existing West Frontage
road and west interchange ramps will be relocated approximately 500 feet and
120 feet to the west, respectively, to provide improved intersection spacing
for the interchange ramps along SH 392. The existing frontage road in the
southeast quadrant has previously been realigned further to the east to line up
with Westgate Drive on the north side of SH 392. No further improvements
are planned for this frontage road as part of this project. Intersection spacing
along SH 392 is as follows:
• West Frontage Road to West Interchange Ramps - 575 feet
• West Interchange Ramps to East Interchange Ramps - 700 feet
• East Interchange Ramps to Westgate Drive - 600 feet
It is anticipated that all three of these intersections will be signalized, assuming
that traffic signal warrants will be met.
The West Frontage Road intersection was located so as to minimize impacts
to existing wetlands further to the west along the north side of SH 392. The
alignment of the West Frontage Road was designed to address land use and
access concerns of the west side property owners. It is anticipated that the
alignment will be refined, with its ultimate alignment being influenced the
strategic needs of Fort Collins.
Between CR 5 and the West Frontage Road, SH 392 is proposed to be widened
to accommodate three (3) through traffic lanes in each direction in addition to
right turn lanes and double left turn lanes where warranted. Based on similar
I-25 designs for interchanges at SH 52 and Harmony Road, I-25 is anticipated
to accommodate two through traffic lanes, a buffer separated HOV lane and
twelve -foot shoulders in each direction plus accel/decel lanes. The center
median, as constructed for similar North I-25 interchanges, is 56 feet wide and
can be used to accommodate other proposed transportation alternatives. The
SH 392 Bridge over I-25 is proposed to be reconstructed to accommodate both
the widened section of SH 392 and adequate span length to accommodate the
I-25 section. The interchange ramps will be reconstructed to meet current
AASHTO standards for merge and diverge lengths. All components of
the interchange will be designed to meet current AASHTO standards for
horizontal and vertical alignment and sight distance.

1-25 / 392 INTERCHANGE PROPOSED TYPICAL SECTONS —.._
The diamond interchange alternative can be modified to accommodate
possible ramp metering for traffic entering I-25. The northbound and
southbound on ramps can be widened and lengthened to provide adequate
storage for queued traffic as well as a "bypass lane" for bus/HOV traffic. It
would be necessary to place a vehicle detector system on I-25 and the ramps
in addition to the ramp metering signal controls. It would also be necessary
to increase the length of the acceleration lanes and the ramp tapers. The
interchange right-of-way could accommodate the ramp metering with minimal
modifications.
Consistent with CDOT's recently adopted Environmental Stewardship
Guidelines (ESG), coordination between the City of Fort Collins, Town of
Windsor, CDOT, FHWA, the North Front Range MPO, and the environmental
resource agencies would be continued and enhanced in a partnership fashion.
Coordination and communications with the property owners, the public,
public agencies, and other project stakeholders would also continue consistent
with the ESG for projects of similar scope and scale.
Elements of the 1601 process have already been initiated, such as:
• System Level traffic and operational analysis
• Project Level traffic and operational analysis
• Coordination with the property owners and stakeholders
• Environmental overview of resources, and
• Development of the projects purpose and need
An element of the 1601 process is to provide the appropriate level of
environmental documentation and seek an equally appropriate environmental
decision from the FHWA. The type and nature of the decision is not
determined at this time. The level of environmental planning would be
established during the formal scoping phase. Information from this I-25/SH
392 study will be made available to CDOT and FHWA for the consistent
development of CDOT's North I-25 EIS.
EDAW INC DESIGN, PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTS WORLDWIDE
SCOPE OF WORK I 29
As part of the development and adoption of the preferred interchange
alternative, we suggest fully implementing the level of public involvement
outlined in this scope, including:
• A high level of participation and guidance by the agencies with a vested
interest, and establishment of an Advisory Committee, including the City
of Fort Collins, Town of Windsor, Larimer County, North Front Range
MPO, and the Colorado Department of Transportation.
• The participation of a wide range of stakeholders at Stakeholder meetings
consisting of landowners, developers, government, homeowners
associations, and similar concerned persons. Three milestone meetings
are suggested to present significant findings, obtain input, and build
consensus for the concepts. A fourth meeting is suggested to review
finance and funding.
• Presentations and question/answer sessions with elected officials
• Open house meetings by the public, property owners, sub area residents
and government representatives
All of the proposed coordination is intended to be designed and delivered to
meet the requirements of the CDOT 1601 policy and procedural requirements
Deliverables: Concept Refinement - Interchange and Transportation Options
Meetings: TAC
Task 2.3 Assess needed infrastructure improvements and provision of
facilities and services
The Land Use, Design and Utilities Strategies Group will review service plans
and interview various service providers and City and Town Departments to
determine whether there is an adequate provision of utilities based on the
proposed land use concepts. Needed improvements will also be identified.
Data that will be reviewed or compiled will include:
• Water, sewer, storm drainage, electric, telecommunications, natural gas
infrastructure capacities, plans for expansion and ability to affect the site
• Master drainage plans
Deliverables: Utility Assessment Memo
Task 2.4 Close coordination with the North 1-25 EIS, 3H-392 E08, and
SH-392 Access Control Plan is a must for this effort
PBS&J and EDAW were both part of the SH-392 EOS and Access Control
plan fully integrating this effort into the current project. In addition, three
(3) coordination meetings will be held with the North I-25 EIS team. One
goal of these meetings is to discuss interchange refinements and determine
whether these options will be integrated into the ongoing EIS or a separate
implementation track will be considered.
Meetings: Three (3) Coordination Meetings
Task 2.5 Develop preferred CAC plan
The EDAW team will create a preferred CAC plan integrating land uses,
gateway features, landscaping, public facilities, transportation, interchange
improvement alternatives, open lands, rivers, streams and, and urban design.
EDAW INC DESIGN, PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTS WORLDWIDE
SCOPE OF WORK I 30
Based on the preferred concept, EDAW will summarize the impacts and
challenges with implementation. One key concern identified by the City of
Fort Collins is the potential of environmental impacts adjacent to Fossil Creek
Reservoir. If impacts are present and mitigation is an option, subtasks by the
Environmental Compliance and Mitigation Strategies Group would include:
WETLANDS
There are several potential options for mitigating impacts to wetlands and
waters of the U.S. associated with this project. There is on -site, off -site, and
mitigation banking. Impacts to waters of the U.S. or wetlands could be
mitigated on -site or off -site. Off site mitigation could occur at nearby Duck
Lake where mitigation for other Larimer County projects are planned for
implementation. Also, there are three wetlands banks located within the
Platte River watershed. The nearest mitigation bank is the Middle Platte River
Mitigation Bank (MPRMB). The project falls within the MPRMB's secondary
service area and is over 30 miles away from the impact area which would not
provide habitat benefits for the local area.
THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES
Avoidance of impacts to threatened or endangered species habitat is always
the preferred option. However, if impacts are unavoidable, compensatory
mitigation will be required. Mitigation to Preble's meadow jumping mouse
could consist of restoration, enhancement, or creation of habitat consisting of
well developed plains riparian vegetation with undisturbed grassland in close
proximity to water sources with dense herbaceous cover ranging from ratios
of 1.5:1 to 3:1. Impacts to Ute's ladies tresses or Colorado butterfly plant may
include propagation or translocation.
OTHER WILDLIFE
Potential effects on other wildlife can be mitigated by performing work
outside of their sensitive nesting or roosting season or the creation of habitat
buffers and landscape screening. Specifically, effects to winter roosting eagles
could be mitigated by performing construction outside of the November 15
to March 15 roosting season. Effects to heronry activity can be mitigated by
either working outside of the buffer area or outside of the March 1 to July 31
nesting season.
Deliverables: Concept Refinement
Meetings: TAC
Task 2.6 Facilitate public outreach
The EDAW team will continue the public outreach efforts by conducting the
following subtasks:
• Conduct one-on-one meetings with property owners and developers
• Conduct one-on-one meetings with environmental resource agencies
• Recurring meetings with participating local agencies and stakeholders
(Fort Collins, Windsor, Larimer, CDOT, perhaps others)
• Prepare newsletter, advertisement, and press release as invitations to open
house
• Conduct one open house with general public — alternatives considered,
screening results, preferred alternative, and next steps
EDAW INC DESIGN. PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTS WORLDWIDE
SCOPE OF WORK I 71
PHASE III - IMPLEMENTATION
Task 3.1 Develop Implementation action plan
The EDAW team will develop a strategic action plan for the Town and City.
The action plan will focus on the steps necessary to implement improvements,
critical path items and timing. The action plan will integrate many of the
ongoing activities, integrating them into one plan.
One consideration for the I-25/SH 392 Interchange is how well the alternative
can accommodate the future intermodal facilities located directly along I-25.
The envelope beneath the SH 392 structure can be designed to not restrict the
consideration for passenger rail at SH 392 within the I-25 Corridor. DMJM
Harris previously developed a concept with a 56-foot median, which is
consistent with the recommendations included in the NFRTAFS and similarly
proposed at the 1-25/SH 52 interchange. Providing this same opening beneath
SH 392 will ensure that the interchange improvements at I-25/SH 392 will
not present or cause the controlling restriction on I-25 for potential passenger
rail. A 56-foot median will accommodate two rail lines and barrier protection
between vehicle lanes and passenger rail along the I-25 centerline. It is
anticipated that the vertical profile of the median will need to be depressed to
allow for necessary minimum clearance beneath SH 392 for this passenger rail
alternative alignment.
The roadway elements associated with the proposed I-25/SH 392 Interchange
should be developed as multi -modal facilities, with adequate provisions for
bicyclists and pedestrians in the form of on -street shoulders, sidewalks and
off -system trails.
On -system and Off -system trails in the vicinity of the I-25/5H 392 Interchange
will need further consideration as part of the 1601 Interchange Feasibility
Study. Those off -system trails currently identified include the Fossil Creek
Management Area trail, and a proposed future trail in the northeast quadrant
of the interchange. The provision of new connections across I-25 at County
Road 30 and the parkway along the Union Pacific railroad tracks, together
with the reconstruction of the Crossroads Boulevard interchange, will allow
bicycles and pedestrians to move east and west freely without having to use
the higher speed, higher volumes highways (US34 and SH392).
In the immediate vicinity of the I-25/ SH 392 Interchange, the only planned
transit facilities are the regional transit corridor along 1-25 and the existing
carpool parking lot. With development of a regional transit corridor,
there is potential for development of a park-n-ride lot at the interchange.
Consideration of potential future linkages between these facilities and
pedestrian facilities would be emphasized in the development and evaluation
of the interchange alternatives. The SH 392 Bridge can be designed to provide
a similar median width as the other recently constructed bridges along the
North I-25 corridor at SH 52 and Harmony Road. The 56-foot median will not
preclude a BRT corridor along the median or on either side of 1-25.
Future feeder bus service was identified for the SH 392 corridor. The proposed
improvements at the 1-25/SH 392 interchange provide adequate lane widths
and turning radii necessary for the proposed bus service. The anticipated
improvements in the vicinity of the I-25/SH 392 Interchange should not
restrict the opportunities for transit service along SH 392.
EDAIN INC DESIGN, PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTS WORLDWIDE
SCOPE OF WORK I 32
The I-25 corridor has peak hour traffic that is highly directional, with
significant peak volumes and congestion. The potential of the corridor for
HOV lane development has been previously recognized.
An unofficial carpool parking lot is located in the southwest quadrant of the
interchange between the West Frontage Road and the I-25 southbound on
ramp. With planned development of a regional transit corridor along I-25,
this lot can be expected to take on greater importance in the future as an
intermodal node. The project configuration could relocate the existing parking
lot spaces to the northeast quadrant of the interchange.
An important recommendation of the Crossroads Area Transportation
Study, in terms of alternative mode improvements, is the development of an
intermodal transfer station along a new diagonal parkway/passenger rail
line between I-25 and Boyd Lake Avenue. The transfer center is strategically
located to support linkage of planned regional transit, local transit, proposed
passenger rail, bikeway and trail routes between SH 392 and US 34. The
width of the SH 392 bridge over I-25 should not preclude the addition of a BRT
station along the I-25 Corridor, A park-n-ride facility at the SH 392 Interchange
would enhance the potential for an intermodal transfer station at this location.
Pedestrian access to the station would be provided from the SH 392 Bridge to
the station area.
Deliverables: Action Plan
Meetings: TAC
Task 3.2 Cost/financing strategies, tax revenues
A key part of this effort is to establish a comprehensive cost estimate, Our
team has already done this initially as part of our previous work, and
it includes both capital and "operational" (road maintenance, utilities,
landscaping maintenance, etc.) costs. The previous work will be used as
a stepping stone for this project and refined to include new concepts and
approaches. The previous estimate identified the following costs in 2003
dollars:
Interchange/I-25 & SH 392
$
11,100,000
Frontage Roads
$
400,000
Water Line
$
300,000
Sewer Line
$
200,000
Signalization
$
130,000
County Road Improvements

500,000
Contingencies
$
1,763,000
Subtotal Construction Cost
$
14,393,000
Engineering $ 1,150,000
Construction Inspection and Administration $ 1,430,000
Total Cast Estimate $ 16,973,000
Inflated to 2006, these capital costs estimate to be approximately $22.0 million
and assume all the rights of way are at no cost to the project. The operating
costs can vary depending on the level of lighting and landscaping design
contemplated as part of the project.
EDAW INC DESIGN, PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTS WORLDWIDE
SCOPE OF WORK I 33
With this foundation, our Financial and Implementation Strategies Group
(see organizational chart and bios) which includes national and local experts
who have financed and constructed similar project will discuss options
from around the country and Colorado and determine the appropriate and
innovative strategy for the Town of Windsor and Fort Collins. Potential
financing mechanisms for improvements will be coordinated with the land
use planning but are expected to include sales tax, assessed valuation on
the increased properties' values (ad valorem) and/or a potential Public
Improvements Corporation (PIC) that could assess a fee in lieu of sales tax. All
options will be considered, and an estimate of revenues and debt service will
be considered.
The key to uncovering appropriate improvement funding lies in
demonstrating where and how financial benefits accrue from the intersection's
redevelopment, and developing a revenue stream where fees and charges
are clearly reflective of that benefit distribution. Once cost and benefit
is established, the next set of issues involves defining and evaluating
institutional opportunities and barriers for various revenue generation
devices, such as districts, taxes, charges and impact fees. Each prospect needs
to be evaluated against a set of criteria that include revenue raising capability,
fairness and equity, practicality and reliability of the revenue.
Implementation requirements will depend on the revenue devices
determined and the prospect of a special district formation. District formation
requirements are straightforward and defined by Colorado Statute —political
palatability is more challenging. The property benefited is likely to include
multiple owners and perhaps multiple jurisdictions. A benefit district
can be forced on recalcitrant property owners, but other municipalities or
jurisdictions have an effective veto power. The benefits of improving this
intersection must be clearly articulated and demonstrated such that the
political will can be supported.
Deliverables: Cost /Financing Strategies
Meetings: TAC
Task 3.3 Develop Special District financing mechanisms and
Implementation steps to achieve action
From our previous work on this interchange, a special district coupled with
a partnership from CDOT appears to be the best approach to finance this
interchange. A key component of this analysis will be to determine the size of
the special district and the anticipate revenue from the associated land uses.
Accordingly, a series of steps and agreements are necessary to achieve this
funding mechanism. We offer the following suggested steps:
• Legal description of the properties that will comprise the district
• A drawing or map showing the boundaries of the district
• A vicinity map showing the district's location
• A recent title commitment identifying ownership of all property within
the proposed boundaries of the district
• Written consent from the property owner(s) to the creation of the district is
necessary. The property owner(s) will also need to be prepared to sign the
petition for the organization of the district.
• Estimated daytime population of the district; and the developable square
footage of the district
EDAW INC DESIGN, PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTS WORLDWIDE
SCOPE OF WORK I 34
• The existing zoning for the properties; also, any information regarding
any re -zoning in progress or contemplated
• The current assessed valuation of the properties
• Tax ID # for the properties or a current tax bill
• Cost estimate for the public improvements. This includes the public
infrastructure costs of water, sewer, streets, traffic safety, storm drainage,
transportation, park and recreation and mosquito control improvements.
• Drawings showing the preliminary location of public improvements; a
separate drawing is required for streets, water lines and facilities, sewer
lines and facilities, storm drainage facilities, and park and recreation
facilities. These do not need to be complicated; line drawings are
acceptable.
• List of governments to which completed improvements will be dedicated:
- Streets
- Water
- Sewer
- Storm drainage
- Park and recreation, open space, trails (if applicable)
• List of any improvements that will not be dedicated to other governments.
Also, any improvements that an owner's association (OA) may maintain.
OA's can maintain but cannot own improvements paid for with tax
exempt public monies (i.e., bond proceeds of the district).
• An estimate of the annual cost of maintenance for improvements owned
by the special improvement district
• Indicate what government (city, district, etc.) will provide:
- Water service
- Sewer service
- Fire protection
Park and recreation service (if applicable)
• Financing Plan showing assumptions used for assessed valuation, sales
tax revenues, debt capacity, estimated issuance of bonds
• Resolution of appropriate governing agencies approving service plan
• Consent of overlapping special districts
The Financial and Implementation Strategies Group will work the City of
Fort Collins and Town of Windsor Finance, Transportation and Planning
Departments to take the first initial steps. This will include initial economic
feasibility analysis. This team has also completed a preliminary special district
on one side of the interchange. The team will build on this work, providing
the City and Town with an initial start to creating a special district. The team
will also ensure the mechanisms and staff are present to complete this task.
Deliverables: Special District Financing action plan, feasibility and preliminary

Meetings: TAC
Task 3.4 Identify land use and design regulations for CAC
The Land Use, Design and Utilities Strategies Group will develop the
conceptual design guidelines and standards. First, prototypical design
alternatives for the CAC will be explored. These will be illustrated in example

SCOPE OF WORK I 35
photographs and drawings and presented to the TAC. After a preferred
direction is identified for each area, the ideas will be translated into conceptual
design guidelines and standards that can be used to direct both land use and
design decisions in the future.
To prepare the guidelines, there must be adequately detailed information
regarding the types of uses envisioned. The design guidelines will focus on
identifying the appropriate architectural character; general building
massing, orientation, and structure heights; location and screening of
parking lots and drive -ups; lighting objectives; and ways to treat the
public realm. EDAW will also provide recommendations for landscaping,
intersection design, and gateway design elements.
Deliverables: Preliminary and Final Conceptual Design Guidelines
Task 3.5 Other implementation Items as necessary, such as IOAs
A number of other implementation steps will be included in the Plan. This
would include potential annexations for key properties that recognize the
benefits of incorporation in relation to this project. A new IGA may also be
prepared in relation to this study. Other considerations include:
• Determine regulatory requirements - IAR, 1601, 404 Permitting, ACP
Amendment
• Identify local and regional planning steps - Regional Transportation Plans
• Develop project delivery plan - Design -build, SEP-15, etc.
Deliverables: Refined action plan
Meetings: TAC
Task 3.6 Facilitate public outreach
The EDAW team will continue public outreach to ensure public, property
owner and agency buy -in that will be necessary to implement the plan. This
will include key:
• One-on-one meetings with property owners and developers
• One-on-one meetings with environmental resource agencies
• Recurring meetings with participating local agencies and stakeholders
(Fort Collins, Windsor, Larimer, CDOT, perhaps others)
• Prepare newsletter
Task 3.7 Facilitate adoption of Plan by Fort Collins, Windsor and

Ms. Esquivel is a field ecologist in PBW's Environmental Sciences Division and
has a strong background in plant identification and taxonomy. This technical
expertise and her formal training in technical writing and environmental policy
provide Ms. Esquivel with the essential knowledge base and diverse technical
skills necessary to successfully complete the varying assignments given to her,
including habitat assessments, wetland determinations and formal delineations,
Phase I environmental site assessments (ESAs), environmental baseline mapping
efforts, environmental assessments (EA), and other related environmental
projects.
REPRESENTATIVE PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Watershed Environmental Baseline Mapping, Harris County, Texas; Harris
County Flood Control District (HCFCD): Ms. Esquivel has played a key role in
completing environmental baseline maps for several major watersheds in Harris
County, Texas, She was responsible for identifying environmental issues, such
as wetlands, biological resources, riparian habitat, water quality, land use, and
hazardous materials, through records review, consultation with resource
agencies and local interest groups, photo interpretation of aerial photography,
and field surveys. Ms. Esquivel was a major contributor to the written report
that summarized the inventory results. These maps and the supporting
geodatabases serve a valuable planning tool to the HCFCD and enable the
District to identify environmental constraints and potential opportunities for
enhancement during planning projects.
Willow Creek Improvement, Northern Harris County, Texas; Harris County Flood
Control District (HCFCD): Ms. Esquivel assisted with a wetland delineation of a
proposed channel extension in northern Harris County. The delineation was
conducted on behalf of HCFCD, who proposed to construct a tributary channel
within the Willow Creek watershed. Ms. Esquivel participated in the field
investigation and was responsible for identifying and mapping potential
jurisdictional wetland boundaries. This task was accomplished using a Trimble
Pro XRS differentially correct global positional satellite (DGPS) system.
Additionally, Ms. Esquivel was responsible for preparing the site photographs,
field data sheets, and technical report. Ms. Esquivel also participated in the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) field verification.
Carpenters Bayou Rehabilitation Project, Houston Texas; Harris County
Flood Control District (HCFCD): Ms. Esquivel participated in completing the
environmental investigations in support of a channel rehabilitation project
along Carpenters Bayou in eastern Harris County, Texas. The goal of the
environmental investigation was to inventory and identify environmental
and cultural resources within the study area. Ms. Esquivel was responsible
for identifying potential and existing wetlands, biological resources, special
habitat areas, and hazardous materials. This was accomplished through
review of available maps, regulatory agency records, threatened and
endangered species lists; consultation with resource agencies and local
special interest groups; and field surveys. The identified resources were
digitized onto an aerial photography based map and utilized by the
engineers to develop reasonable alternatives.
Halls Bayou Federal Flood Reduction Plan, Houston, Texas, Harris County
Flood Control District (HCFCD): Ms. Esquivel also completed similar tasks
for the Halls Bayou Federal Flood Damage Reduction Plan. The primary

goal of the this Federal project is to reduce flood damages along Halls
Bayou in Harris County, Texas, while preserving and promoting
environmental resources through the dedication and construction of
regional detention facilities that will also serve as multi -use recreational
facilities. In the early stages of the environmental process, Ms. Esquivel
assisted with inventorying and mapping the environmental resources within
the watershed. She gathered existing data and information and interpreted
aerial photography to identify the environmental resources, such as
wetlands, biological resources, stream habitat quality, water quality, and
hazardous materials. Ms. Esquivel was responsible for overseeing the GIS
analysts as they digitally store the collected data into a geodatabase, which
served as the base map for the remainder of the project. Following the
initial inventory mapping effort, Ms. Esquivel led the field surveys and
played a key role in the environmental document preparations.
SH36, Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Yoakun District; Austin
County, Texas: Ms. Esquivel served as the lead scientist for a wetland
delineation for the TxDOT Yoakun District. The project spanned I I miles of
SH36 between Sealy and Bellville in Austin County, Texas and will expand
the highway from two lanes to four lanes. Prior to the field visit, she
gathered background information the proposed project site including aerial
photography and mapped soil types. Ms. Esquivel led the field effort to
identify and delineate wetlands within the project area. The Trimble Pro XRS
differentially correct global positional satellite (DGPS) system was used to
delineate wetland boundaries. Ms. Esquivel also prepared field data sheets
and the technical report which was submitted to the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE). Additionally, Ms. Esquivel participated in the habitat
assessment for this project. She assisted in categorizing habitat types and
quality within the project area.
Uintah Research and Curatorial Center Environmental Assessment (EA),
Vernal, Utah; National Park Service (NPS): Ms. Esquivel drafted an
Environmental Assessment (EA) on behalf of the National Park Service (NPS).
The NPS is proposing to construct a research and curatorial facility in Vernal,
Utah to support its museum collection currently housed in the Dinosaur
National Monument. She compiled soils data, hazardous materials
information, field notes, air quality information, and other sources as well as
consultations with NPS employees. Ms. Esquivel used this data to analyze
impact topics, draft the document, and coordinate the production of the
associated exhibits.

architects and I mdscapc architects Leith an easily auessihlr design and
planning reference. Fhis image it most strongly recognized in the arcw(l form
on the signs and the bridges, use of bronze colored metals and stacked bull
colored sandstone
ShLVardship goals of the development are achieved through many of thcc
detailed guidelines including: no turf grass in medians to reduce Llvter
Coll smnption; roundabouts to provide focal points while easing traffic
congestion; drainogeways and retention ponds to serve as storm water
conveyance, water dualihr improlremcnt, habitat and recreational open spau',
lighting criteria to minimize light pollution, encouraging use ul the I pt'.D
Creep Building Rating System, a comprehensive plant list for Northern

Under DMJM Harris's original contract for the $200 million E-470 Segment IV
design, the major elements were 12.5 miles of plan and profile design; three state
highway interchanges at 1-76, US 85 and I-25, four local street interchanges, two
railroad crossings, and bridges for stream, river, and canal crossings. The projecl
included 40 major structures, including two flyover bridges for the 1-25 directional
interchange and a 900-foot-long bridge over the Platte River. It also included 15
concrete box culverts spanning streams and irrigation canals.
In 2004, an intergovernmental agency consisting of the E-470 Public Highway
Authority, CDOT and the City of Aurora, Colorado selected the design -build team
of DMJM Harris (as designer) and Lawrence Construction (as constructor), to
design and construct a new improvement to the network: the
E-470/1-70 FIyBy. To date, the joint venture team has developed alternatives to
save the client more than $10 million from initial estimates, construct the project
in two years, and keep traffic moving throughout construction. DMJM Harris's
alternatives for the first phase of the FIyBy will result in:
A much lower cost than originally estimated, and thus a more financeable
project,
Greater convenience to the traveling public during construction,
Compatibility with the ultimate interchange configuration; and
Project completion much sooner than the previous design concept.
DMJM Harris provided engineering services for the development of the design
and construction contract documents for this key interchange complex in
Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The Circle/Lake Interchange will provide access to the southern part of the
City from 1-25, the primary north/south interstate highway. The presence of the
World Ice Arena, major hotels and developments in the area have caused the
interchange to be considered as a "Gateway Interchange", with enhanced urban
design features. The interchange is a lead project in a corridor -wide
improvement program expected to total more than 5300 million.
The emphasis of this project was to provide safety improvements to the
Circle/Lake Interchange complex. These improvements consist of a complete
interchange reconstruction including acceleration/deceleration lanes for ramps,
adequate capacity for Circle Drive and Lake Avenue and the movements onto
and off the Interstate, coordinated signal timing and intersection design and
capacity, modified existing access, and reconfiguration of existing local streets.
In addition, DMJM Harris designed a new pedestrian overpass to accommodate
the greater flow of foot traffic over Circle Drive and the northbound 1-25 ran,ip
DMJM Harris was selected to provide preliminary and final design services to
CDOT Region 6 for the construction of a new ramp from eastbound Colfax
Avenue to southbound 1-25. Elements of the design include Ramp H and a new
structure from eastbound Colfax Viaduct to southbound 1-25, widening of the
existing Colfax Viaduct; redesign and construction of Ramp K from eastbound
Lower Colfax Avenue at the intersection of the Walnut Connector to southbound
1-25; and widening (to the west) of the existing structure on southbound 1-25 at
13th Avenue and the structure at 8th Avenue.
Other roadway work included reconstruction of south to west Ramp A at the 6th
Avenue and 1-25 interchange and extension of the auxiliary lane along
southbound 1-25 between Ramp H and 6th Avenue.
In addition to providing design services, DMJM Harris provided construction
inspection services. Inspections included initial, follow up, completion, pre -final
acceptance, final acceptance and any other special inspections, investigations
and monitoring requested by CDOT's project engineer. Daily reports were
prepared and provided to CDOT's project engineer documenting any and all
inspections, observations, investigations or monitoring utilizing CDOT's site
manager document control system.
This project, part of the 1-25 corridor improvements project through El Paso
County, involved complete reconstruction of one of the major urban interchanges
in Colorado Springs.
In addition to the interchange design, the project entailed reconstruction of the
interstate near the interchange as well as extensive reconstruction of the local
street network. Structures required for the project included bridges over
Rockrimmon Boulevard, Monument Creek, the Burlington Northern Santa Fe
Railroad (BNSF), North Nevada Avenue, and Mark Dabling Boulevard, as well
as extensive retaining i walls. Conceptual and preliminary design were
coordinated with the ongoing 1-25 corridor environmental assessment
The DMJM Harris team completed the Preliminary Structure Type Selection
Reports for the bridges, retaining walls, and box culverts on the project.
Approximately 10 bridges totaling 300,000 square feet, 36 retaining walls
totaling 230,000 square feet, and eight box culverts were included as part of
the type study.
The Bridge Structure Type Selection Report identified the Colorado U-girder
as the preferred structure type. This superstructure type was designed
pre -tensioned and post -tensioned, using spliced girder analysis. Integral,
post -tensioned piercaps were also incorporated in the analysis to satisfy
the 1-25 Corridor Aesthetic Guidelines.

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Region 1 selected
DMJM Harris to prepare preliminary and final design for improvements on
SH 85 located in the Town of Castle Rock and in Douglas County, Colorado.
The improvements extend for one mile in each direction from the intersection
with Meadows Parkway and along Meadows Parkway between SH 85 and 1-25.
The improvements include reconstructing the overpass of SH 85 at 1-25 to
accommodate future widening of 1-25 and provide an upgraded bridge.
This $6.5 million construction project involved extensive coordination with the
Town of Castle Rock, Douglas County, CDOT, FHWA and numerous utilities
Major components of the project include-
• Preparing initial and ultimate designs for SH 85
• Completing hydrologic analyses and hydraulic design
• Preparing traffic phasing including modification to existing traffic signals
• Preparing utility plans
• Preparing bridge plans for the new overpass at 1-25
hoc! 1'1 111 1ilta{1
DMJM Harris was hired by the Town of Windsor to prepare a Justification for Separate Action
for the SH 392 and 1-25 interchange. As part of this project, DMJM Harris:
• Established the Purpose and Need for the Project — outlines the need for improvements
based on safety, capacity and modal concerns at this interchange.
• Created the Project Definition — describes the proposed action and how it will be evaluated
in the context of an Interchange Feasibility Study and further environmental analysis.
• Conceptually designed several Alternatives Under Consideration for the SH 392/1-25
interchange, including integration of Modal Alternatives.
• Analyzed the criteria for Justification of Separate Action, as set forth by FHWA.
The FHWA criteria include the following requirements:
1. A Project Definition connecting at logical termini and of sufficient length for
environmental evaluation,
2. Project alternatives that represent a reasonable expenditure of funds, even if no
other transportation improvements are made in the area;
3. A Project Definition that does not restrict the consideration of alternatives of other
reasonably foreseeable transportation projects; and
4. Project Alternatives that do not irretrievably commit Federal Funds for closely related
projects in order to justify this project.
• Provided a conclusion of the Justification for Separate Action analyses and findings.
DMJM Harris worked with FHWA and CDOT to integrate the second and fourth criterion in
an effort to streamline this analysis. This study also includes information with regard to
Environmental Stewardship processes.
DMJM Harris also worked with the Town and potential developers to conceptualize a finance
plan to provide for the improvements developed in the Project Definition. Estimates of capital
and maintenance costs were developed, along with a plan and schedule to implement the
overall improvements.

subsequent tasks described below. Key questions that will be discussed with
the TAC will include:
• Which concept will best generate revenues to support interchange
improvements?
• Which concept best meets the needs of all cooperating agencies?
• What are the environmental impacts and how can they be mitigated?
• Which concept holistically integrates transportation, land use, design,
utilities and natural resources?
Deliverables: Two concept plans
Meetings: TAC
Task 2.2 Assess transportation needs for CAC area including
Interchange design, frontage roads, local street network, trails, transit
facilities, park and ride, bicycle and pedestrian facilities
The Traffic and Interchange Design Group will evaluate the transportation
needs for the CAC area. The team is well familiarized with the site. EDAW
recently generated the TAZ model for the area, and PBS&J completed the
master street plan for Fort Collins as well as the SH 392 Access Control Plan
and EOS. Building on these studies, the following subtasks will be completed:
• Evaluate initial concepts
- Traffic projections - use NFR MPO model as base; consider
alternative land use scenarios - level of detail will be to major arterial
(i.e., I-25, SH 392, 1-25 Frontage Roads, primary county roads). Local
street network may be conceptually laid out, but no traffic analysis
will be performed.
- Traffic operations analysis - same qualifier as above
- Qualitative transit and multi -modal assessment
- Assess potential environmental effects
- Conduct one-on-one meetings on technical topics as necessary
(traffic, environmental, etc.). Expected groups to meet with would be:
Fort Collins Traffic, Windsor Engineering, Fort Collins NRAB, Fort
Collins Transportation Board, Larimer County Engineering and
Planning, etc.
Coordination with project stakeholders - recurring meetings with
FC/ Windsor and one-on-one meetings with other stakeholders (CDOT,
Larimer County, others) as necessary
This analysis will be integrated with the assessment of interchange options.
The need for constructing improvements to the I-25/SH392 Interchange is
associated with the following issues:
The regional transportation planning process, as codified in federal
regulations, has established the need for this interchange reconstruction
investment to address a network deficiency in the regional transportation
system network.
The regional roadway system indicates that there are no new additional
significant roadways planned in the project area. The SH 392
transportation corridor will likely operate at its functional capacity during
IDAW INC DESIGN, PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENTS WORLDWIDE
SCOPE OF WORK I 23
peak hours in the future.
The interchange infrastructure is currently over -capacity and has several
design deficiencies that impact current traffic movement and progression:
- SH 392 and the interchange ramps do not meet current AASHTO
design and safety standards for sight distance and clear zone.
- The existing SH 392 bridge over 1-25, built 50 years ago, is
functionally obsolete and does not accommodate the future
needs of either the I-25 or SH 392 corridors in terms of width
and typical section.
- The existing diamond interchange suffers from several operational
and safety deficiencies and is inadequate to accommodate existing
and future traffic demand. Some of these deficiencies include
inadequate intersection spacing and traffic progression on SH 392,
lack of turn lanes and inadequate storage lengths.
- The proximity of the west frontage road to the interchange further
reduces the capacity of the overall interchange.
- The relatively steep profile grades at the west intersection approach
further reduce the sight distance along SH 392 and provide minimal
vertical clearance over I-25.
- SH 392 provides little or no refuge to accommodate pedestrian/
bicycle traffic within the limits of the interchange.
• Traffic volumes are increasing due to significant state and regional growth
and development in the vicinity of the I-25/SH 392 interchange.
• The North Front Range Major Investment Study has identified reasonably
foreseeable corridor improvements along I-25 that would require an
unobstructed envelope for new I-25 corridor infrastructure.
• The North Front Range Regional Transportation Plan has identified
reasonably foreseeable corridor improvements for SH 392 to include a
four -lane facility with widened shoulders, intersection improvements, and
a possible multi -modal park-n-ride lot.
• There is a need to consider future feeder bus service along SH 392
connecting with I-25.
• There is a need to consider current and projected park -and -ride facility
requirements.
DMJM Harris completed two key studies that directly relate to this I-25/SH
392 Interchange Improvement Plan: the Crossroads Area Transportation
Study and the I-25 / SH 392 Interchange Justification for Separate Action.
Collectively, these studies consider both the regional and project specific
requirements for this interchange. As part of these studies, DMJM Harris
developed and conceptually designed several interchange alternates.
