Therefore, we consider ourselves a transportation firm, as we do a large volume of street and roadway design over the course of our projects. Our recent projects have required that we follow the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards; as a group, we are quite familiar with the requirements, processes and procedures set forth in the Standards. Through the course of this contract, if a set of plans needs to be prepared for CDOT's review, both Mike and I are familiar with CDOT's requirements and capable of producing plans in this format if necessary. Our computer hardware and software are completely compatible with the City of Fort Collins Engineering Department. Our offices presently utilize IBM compatible PC's running AutoCAD 2000 and 2002 with Land Development Desktop 3.0 (LDD). We also have the LDD Civil package, which is utilized in roadway design as well as various other programs for hydraulic, hydrologic, utility and grading design. Our Project Manager, Mike Oberlander, and staff, including surveying support, will be able to commit to the City adequate time to meet the contract's requirements for the next 4 to 6 months. Each assignment throughout the life of this contract will require the identification of project scope and schedule. In general, our project approach and methodology will consist of preparing conceptual design documents using field survey or City GIS data for background. These documents will be suitable for staff review, preliminary cost estimating, and public input (if required). After this phase of the project is completed, final survey and design documents can be prepared. We have found that this approach is the most cost effective and time efficient manner of preparing plans. Several iterations of conceptual documents can be prepared at relatively little cost to the City. With the clear direction that the conceptual phase provides, the preparation of final plans is simplified. Internal checks for quality control are provided throughout all phases of design. Again, we thank you for the opportunity to propose on this contract and look forward to discussing the contract further in an interview. Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions or need clarification on any portion of this proposal. Sincerely, 6ik4 I Patricia Kroetch, PE President, North Star Design, Inc.
