Project Understanding
Our team provides the full -service engineering expertise of PBS&J with the proven local
expertise of TST, Inc. Consulting Engineers (TST) to exceed the City of Fort Collins' needs
for an on -call service consultant. Based on our understanding of your needs, we have
developed a team of highly qualified professionals and the appropriate level support staff to
ensure you have a consultant that serves as a true extension of your staff. This
understanding comes from PBS&J's extensive experience providing on -call services for
clients throughout Colorado and TST's experience with the City's standards and procedures.
Before we get into the specific details of our team and personnel (see Sections II and III), we
would like to discuss some of the key characteristics that we feel you will need from your on -
call consultant.
A. Full -Service Capabilities
Given the nature of on -call services contracts, you need a consultant that has the depth and
breadth of expertise to meet your every need. These needs could be simply a drafter to
finalize some design plans or a traffic engineer to provide solutions to a complex traffic
control and phasing issue. These needs could also include a full -service roadway design
project from start to finish. The combination of PBS&J and TST provide you not only these
full -service capabilities, but a multitude of available staff readily available to address these
needs. Our team provides the local insights of TST's experience with design projects in the
City and PBS&J's extensive resources that are available to develop solutions to complex
issues or provide the necessary resources to help you complete your projects. By selecting
our team, you will have some of the most talented technical experts in Colorado and
some of the most qualiFed production personnel to supplement your staff:
B. Client -Focused Service
As a true extension of staff, PBS&J has been providing client -focused on -call services to
numerous municipalities throughout Colorado. We have developed a proven approach that
provides a single point of contact to ensure clear, proactive communication and a six -step
process that we have used to successfully provide responsive on -call service to a variety of
clients. Our project director, R.A. Plummer, P.E., AICP will serve as your point of contact
and will provide you the same client focused service that he has been providing to the City's
Transportation Planning Department over the past several years. Our six step process,
discussed in more detail in Section IV, highlights the process we have successfully followed
to provide client -focused service and deliver high -quality projects. We believe the most
important measure of our success will be the satisfaction of the City's project managers by
reducing their workload and contributing to their overall success. We tailor our service to
meet your varying needs by developing strong working relationships and being readily
available and proactive to dealing with issues. By selecting our team, you will experience
the client -focused service that has made PBS&J the consultant of choice with many
clients in Colorado.
C. Cost -Effective Resources
Many of the tasks you need to complete under an on -call services contract are primarily
production work orders. With the current economic conditions, there is an increasing need
to maximize every dollar spent getting projects to construction. Based on the typical work
orders that we have experienced in our other on -call contracts we have recognized the need
to provide the appropriate level of staff to projects. This means that while you will have the
oversight and insights of our key professionals, you are not paying for them to do
production tasks. We provide a strong depth of resources that can provide you drafting
support, engineering design support, and survey services as needed. We also have the key
Civil Engineering Design, Drafting, and Surveying Services
'- RFP P-884
at of Fort Collins managers available to assist in your complicated project issues. Our approach to providing
you cost-effective services includes eliminating duplicate management structures, thoroughly
understanding your needs and the project to provide you the best value, and continuing to
learn your processes and procedures to minimize your workload. This approach to
providing cost-effective services has made PBS&J one of the leading on -call services firms in
Colorado. By selecting our team, you will have the ability to ma imize your available
design dollars and implement more ofyour design program.
D. Responsiveness and Flexibility
Responsiveness is the combination of staff availability and a mindset. Between PBS&J and
TST, we have the depth of resources that allows us to easily react to meet your varying
needs. The key to our team mindset is to always meet evolving project demands, whether it
is Friday afternoon revisions or an accelerated design schedule. We are committed to being
responsive because our reputations depend on it. Flexibility means having the ability to
provide the appropriate staff for a specific work order and the resources to deal with
multiple work order requests concurrently. Smaller work orders can be effectively
accomplished by junior engineers, designers, and drafters at a much lower cost. By including
a local firm, TST, we not only provide additional resources to complete multiple needs
concurrently, but a local contact that can be made available on very short notice to address
any potential needs. By selecting our team, you will have a responsive and flexible
team to address your ongoing needs and reduce your workload.
E. Extension of Staff
The four characteristics discussed previously are all part of the main ideal that your on -call
consultant must maintain, serving as an extension of your staff. That is our ultimate goal.
Many titres we will be supplementing your current design efforts and in-house products.
For all of your projects, we will conduct ourselves and provide seamless services that extend
your current staff resources. Based on our understanding of on -call contracts and your
procedures, we can effectively promise this approach to you. Our goal is to be seen as a
partner with the City working towards the common goal of completing the work order or
project and ultimately getting it implemented. By selecting our team, you have a choice
ofprofessional and technical resources to expand your resources and effectively
implement your capital program.

PBS&J is currently updating the City's Transportation Master Plan to develop a future
(2025) year vision for transportation in the City. The analysis includes developing
recommendations for all travel modes (automobile, transit, pedestrian, and bicycle) and
also includes Transportation Demand Management (MM) strategies. Extensive travel
demand modeling is being conducted using the City's and North Front Range's regional
TransCAD models. A financial assessment will be developed to create Capital
Improvement Plans for implementation. The analysis also includes a more regional
approach to transportation solutions including many of the communities in the North
Front Range. A key aspect of the update is working closely with the engineering
department to develop capital improvement programs for several periods. This insight will
provide a unique understanding of the City's design needs over the next several years.
PBS&J led the study effort to address three specific work elements
including development of non -route based strategies to encourage
through truck traffic to use the existing Interstate system, identifying
alternate truck routes north of the City of Fort Collins' Growth
Management Area, and identifying funding strategies, mechanisms, and
sources to implement the study recommendations. Conceptual alignment
alternatives were developed in accordance with City and Latimer County
standards including preliminary plans and cost estimates. This
controversial project was PBS&J's first opportunity to work with the City
and included an extensive public and agency involvement process including coordination
with CDOT, Latimer County, the Transportation Advisory Board, Natural Resource
Advisory Board, and City Council. PBS&J successfully completed the study within an
aggressive 14-month schedule. This study was a prime example of PBS&J;s commitment to
client -focused service, flexibility, and responsiveness in an effort to prove ourselves to the
City.
PBS&J completed the alternative analysis and design of intersection improvements for
SH 14, Greenfields Court, and adjacent frontage roads. The alternative analysis addressed
deficiencies in current intersection configuration, local agency needs, and future traffic
and development plans near the intersection. The design included intersection
reconstruction, traffic signal operation and timing, signing and striping, and traffic
control. Construction documents were prepared including cost estimates and
specifications. Bidding assistance was also provided along with as -built plans.

PBS&J completed the design and construction management of three roundabouts near
the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs. Public involvement on the project was crucial
to balance the needs of the Broadmoor Hotel, City of Colorado Springs, and the local
residents and businesses. The four -lane arterial was converted to a three -lane facility with
a through lane in each direction and a shared left -turn lane. Pedestrian and bicycle
facilities were provided on both sides of the roadway.
Work tasks included preparation of construction documents, agency and public
coordination, and construction oversight. Specific design orders included survey and ROW
plans, landscaping design, roadway design and lighting, drainage design, asphalt and concrete
pavement design, signing, striping, utility relocation, and construction traffic control. PBS&J
provided construction management services for all three locations.
PBS&J completed the preliminary and final design for the realignment
- and reconstruction of 1.1 miles of US 85 through Sedalia at SH 67. The
proposed roadway was a four -lane divided highway with raised medians
and curb and gutter. The work included a signalized intersection with
SH 67 and a frontage road on the existing alignment to access local
businesses.
Special design considerations included a new wildlife crossing for elk, a BNSF railroad
crossing replacement on SH 67, significant drainage improvements, and utility
relocation/coordination. PBS&J identified the right of way required and coordinated with
MOT in the preparation of right-of-way plans and legal descriptions. The relocated US 85
roadway required acquisition from the Cherokee Ranch a historic 4(0 property and the
design included minimizing and mitigating these impacts.
PBS&J evaluated intersection improvement alternatives for SH 2, Holly Street, and East
69th Avenue. This process included developing evaluation criteria and applying them to
numerous alternatives. The process also included coordinating with both Citv staff and
the City Council. Alternative evaluations were based on traffic operations, cost,
community/agency support, ROW, and environmental impacts. Alternatives ranged
from grade -separated interchanges to coordinated traffic signals. Alternatives, and how
they addressed the evaluation criteria, were presented to the public and business owners.
The final alternative was a variation of an original alternative that was revised to address
public comments.
Based on the successful study completion, Commerce City awarded PBS&J the design
contract, which consisted of widening SH 2 and realigning Holly Street. Challenges included
coordination with a drainage project along SH 2 and the ultimate widening of SH 2. PBS&J's
handling of these issues as well as our close coordination with city, and state officials and
utility districts, demonstrate our commitment to successful and timely project completion.

IV. Project Approach
Our approach combines a proven six step process with extensive project controls that
maintain project cost, quality, and schedule. This combination ensures you receive cost-
effective, high -quality deliverables on -time and within your budget.
A. On -Call Approach
We have established a six -step approach to ease the development and successful completion
of a work order. The approach can be used for a full -service design or survey project or a
simple work order.
Work Order Process
SM
Identify need. Fort Collins determines need for PBS&J's consulting MKLV
services and contacts R.A. Plummer. IMF
Team identified and scope developed. R.A. identifies the best individuals for the team to meet the City's�
needs. The team develops the scope of work, labor hours, and cost estimate and submits to the City for
review.
City and PBS&J negotiate work order. After the City's review, scope, hours,
and estimates are adjusted as part of the final negotiation.
NTP. The City provides PBS&J notice to proceed.
M Project kick-off meeting held. A critical step in the completion of the work order is a kick-off
meeting with the key City and PBS&-J team staff. At this meeting the scope of work is reviewed, as well
as the schedule and deliverables. The PBS&J Quality Control Plan for the project is also reviewed.
M Work Order completed. Following the kick-off meeting the work order is completed within the established
budget and schedule. Depending on the complexity of the work order, regular coordination and review meetings
may be conducted with the City and PBS&J staff. R.A. continuously coordinates with the City PM to ensure all
expectations and needs are being met. At all times, the Quality Control Plan is followed including the five -step
quality control review process to ensure top-notch deliverables and products. The project manager is tasked with ensuring
this process is followed. During the course of the work order, our principal in charge, R.A. Plummer, will meet with the City's
project manager to ensure we are always providing top-notch service.

B. Project Controls
Effective work controls are essential to project success. We have in -place, proven project
controls to maintain project cost, quality, and schedule. These controls are documented and
defined in our Quality Control and Assurance for Projects (QCAP) Manual.
Cost. Cost control is essential to project success. Realistic budgets must be established at the
start of each project. Our project director, R.A. Plummer, or project managers will be
responsible for developing and monitoring the budget.
Accurate quantities and cost estimates are also crucial to project success. Errors and
omissions can cause project delays and additional costs. We have made the preparation of
accurate quantities and cost estimates a project priority. Our cost estimates are continually
updated with information from public bid tabulations, and through communication with
local contractors.
Quality. Our approach to quality assurance/quality control has proven successful on
numerous projects. Before beginning work on a project, the scope and schedule are reviewed
by an independent, in-house peer in accordance with corporate quality control procedures.
In addition, we develop a Quality Control Plan (QCP) as part of our Project Control Plan.
The Project Control Plan outlines project progress from kick-off meeting through product
i archiving of project records. The QCP lists major work orders and the name of
the responsible staff member and identifies important quality assurance points
in the project schedule and individuals responsible for quality control review.
The QCP is distributed to the client and subconsultants. All team members are
required to understand and adhere to the plan.
PBS&J's QC reviews are a five -step process based on the premise that two
responsible and qualified individuals agree on the correctness of each work
product before it is released as a product of service. The QC documentation
developed during the progress of work are recorded in the project files and
tracked for proper adherence to the QCAP Manual.
R.A. Plummer will be responsible for ensuring QCPs are developed and followed for each
work order.
Schedule. Meeting the schedule is essential for the project's success. We accomplish this
based on two key principles:
1. Establish realistic milestones and identify critical path items. At the start of a
work order, R.A. and/or the project manager will work with the City project
manager to develop a schedule that meets the project's needs. We use scheduling
software (typically Microsoft Project) to track project schedules and make
adjustments. This also helps evaluate person hours expended and monitor monthly
and cumulative schedule and budget status.
2. Establish a regular schedule for progress meetings of the project team with
the client. At the start of each work order, regularly scheduled meetings will be set
among the City project manager, our project director and/or project manager and
other key staff. We will also provide monthly status reports with the invoices.

Please accept this letter of recommendation for the Denver office of PBS&J. The City of
Fort Collins recently retained PBS&J as prime consultant for the Northern Colorado
Truck Mobility/SH-14 Relocation Project. We have recently completed the yearlong
planning effort and I could not be more pleased with their work. They are one of the
most professional, conscientious, and thorough engineering -consulting firms I have
worked with.
From the project's onset Barry Schulz, R.A. Plummer, Carrie Wallis, David Millar and
the rest of their Project Team exhibited the highest standards and attention to detail.
They were responsible, timely and attentive to this project's very demanding needs.
They maintained constant communication and worked together with me in a very
collaborative, productive manner. Where I feel PBS&J goes beyond the pale of other
engineering firms is their ability to interact with agencies, staff, and the general public.
Unlike many consulting firms I have worked with in the past, PBS&J is fully capable and
willing to undertake critical public outreach processes internally, without having to resort
to public outreach "specialists". This not only saved scarce budget funds, but also helped
our team project a strong sense of legitimacy, capability, and respect at the numerous
meetings and presentations conducted over the course of the study. Their attention to
detail and willingness to go the extra mile with public information and outreach made my
job that much easier and contributed greatly to a successful project outcome.
I would not hesitate to use PBS&J on future projects. In my opinion, they have raised the
bar for what I expect from a consultant. They will be a very tough act to follow. PBS&J
has my strongest recommendation. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions
or wish to discuss PBS&J's work further.

CDOT, Region 2 has contracted with PBS&J to provide design
services for SH 24 and Pikes Peak Highway. They have developed
a concept that has been accepted and well received by the local
residents. This is a fairly small project, but I believe that
it demonstrates their ability to provide CDOT with a quality
product, and a sound engineering solution.
PBS&J has shown a commitment to quality, creativity, technical
expertise, responsiveness, team work, and communication. PBS&J
has met or exceeded my expectations while performing their
duties for this project. They have developed a strong staff
that will provide technically sound engineering designs. They
have demonstrated their ability to produce these deliverables
in a timely and cost effective manner.
PBS&J has helped to provide a proactive approach to public
involvement. During this concept development they provided a
valuable public involvement strategy which helped to avoid many
pitfalls. When complicated issues have arisen they have
provided solutions and effectively communicated them to both
CDOT and the public.
PBS&J has been an asset to our project and we are looking
forward to working with them on future projects in the Region.
