Carl WalkerApproach to Project Management The backbone of our providing quality services, achieving client objectives, and achieving successful projects is project management. While project management is practiced by all participants on a project team, it is the Project Manager who has singular responsibility and accountability for all aspects of the project, from startup through close-out. This includes the quality of the deliverables, client satisfaction, and project financial performance. Thus, it is of central importance to the success of Carl Walker to develop highly skilled Project Managers who emphasize the following: ■ Integrity ■ Quality ■ Teamwork ■ Innovation ■ Productivity ■ Responsiveness ■ Leadership E. Cost Control Quality documents keep costs down — reduces contractor questions or confusion, keeps the project on schedule, reduces risk of change orders, addendums or bulletins. Our team's experience with restoration provides a strong basis for understanding the project and its costs. Understanding that Budget Control is a critical element in any project, our team will develop a program that meets the project budget and then monitor and update this budget throughout the design process.

Responsiveness The Carl Walker Team will respond quickly on a day-to-day basis to project needs due to the following: ➢ Dedicated Project Manager — Leo Whiteley, P.E., will be the Project Manager and the main point of contact with the City. ➢ Dedicated Principal -in -Charge — Rob McConnell., P.E., will provide direct supervision and insure that the inspection and reporting are performed to the satisfaction of the City of Fort Collins. He will seal all necessary documentation. ➢ Dedicated QA/QC Technical Advisor — Robert G. Tracy, P.E., will provide technical guidance and be involved in quality control reviews throughout the project. G. Owner Involvement Owner input and involvement is of major importance in any project we undertake. Typically for city projects, we encourage the owner to establish a committee of key individuals representing the applicable departments being served by the final project. To streamline the communication and collaboration process, we encourage the owner to appoint one key individual to serve as the primary contact person for the committee. Once this committee is established, we encourage direct and meaningful owner participation throughout the evaluation and design process. This participation is particularly vital in the early stages of the design effort for the project kickoff meetings. We like to involve the committee in evaluation of the draft reports by presenting our findings in -person and obtaining feedback. We will also provide a written progress report with each monthly request for payment for each project that provides an update on the progress and schedule of the project and any items requiring resolution. 4=ar� Pa►Wng Wa��ker PWxErloblellft IV.

The Strategic Plan provided a long-term vision for the City, and included parking management strategies designed to provide a stable parking environment focused on customer service and convenience. The plan addressed current and projected parking adequacies, strategies to deal with projected parking deficits, and the management of parking resources to enhance the attractiveness of downtown Fort Collins for visitors as well as new businesses. • Evaluate existing parking conditions. • Develop parking impact assessments for developments identified in the retail development plan. • Identify near -term parking shortfalls. • Lead public planning charettes and stakeholder meetings related to parking. • Examine parking system enforcement and pricing policies, including meter space utilization. • Define existing and future parking issues. • Develop a comprehensive parking action plan. Comments The parking section of the plan dealt with both strategic planning and management/operations issues. Operations and management strategies were viewed as important components of the implementation phase of the Downtown Strategic Plan. This part of the plan became a tool to assist the Parking Division in developing a comprehensive parking management strategy to improve existing operations. One important outcome was the creation of a comprehensive 20-point parking management program. nw Walker PLMW Enpnrrkq Rrlorrion Greyhound Bus Terminal Denver, Colorado Overview • Precast/Prestressed concrete double tees with cast -in - place concrete topping construction.

Coordinate concrete tests to determine the actual physical and chemical properties of the in - place concrete. A testing plan will be formulated and the following tests will be considered for each structure: a. Petrographic (microscopic) examination of one (1) core sample to assess the general concrete properties and entrained air parameters. This information is used to gauge the relative durability of the in -place concrete and provide needed information for the correct recommendation for repair. 4arl Pa►ldnc Walker pkmE QhY l q Rrlw�yp� Scope of Services (continued) b. Compressive strength of two (2) core samples. c. Chloride analysis of pulverized concrete powder samples taken from selected locations to determine the extent and degree of potential chloride contamination of the concrete topping. (5 locations at 3 incremental depths plus a base sample for a total of 16 samples in each structure.) d. Coordinate a local contractor to obtain and patch core and powder samples for submittal to an independent laboratory. 6. Perform a visual examination of other visible building components including the drainage system, exposed electrical conduit, light fixtures, and facade. This will include all bollards, pay booths, elevators, stairwells, and breeze ways. We will document any safety or public health concern that is not explicitly covered in this scope of work. 7. Compile and review all field and materials test data to assess the probable causes and effects of the documented deterioration on the structure. 8. Evaluate and present general restoration alternatives and priorities for each structure, and include probable costs for the repairs/maintenance. 9. Evaluate the common walls, ceilings, and /or any other structural components shared by the retail tenants and the Civic Center Parking Structure and the components shared by the Poudre Fire Authority and the Old Town Parking Structure. 10. Prepare a draft written report indicating findings, alternatives, recommendations, priorities of recommended repairs and preventative maintenance along with associated construction costs for each structure. This report will include drawings indicating the general location and quantity of the noted deterioration and photos to document the type of deterioration. 11. Provide three (3) color copies of draft report. 12. Meet with Owner representatives to discuss content of the draft report and receive Owner comments. 13. Revise and issue three (3) color copies of the final report. Parking rWa�ker Plo L' ig EnyirM ' grbWm
