Subject: Proposal for Geotechnical Testing Services
The City of Fort Collins Engineering Department
Proposal No. P-878
CTL/T Proposal No. 02-294(F)
We are pleased to provide our proposal for Geotechnical Testing Services for the
City of Fort Collins Engineering Department. Prior to preparing our proposal we
attended the pre -proposal conference held on January 9, 2003 and examined the
request for proposal (RFP) provided by the City Purchasing Department.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The RFP indicates that in addition to the Annual Street Maintenance Program, Minor
Bridge Maintenance Program, Pedestrian Access Program and Parks and Utilities
Projects, the City is expected to proceed with the following projects:
• North College Improvement Project, from Jefferson Street to Cherry Street
• Jefferson/Riverside Avenue between Mulberry and College Avenues
• Prospect Road from Prospect Parkway to Summit View Drive
• Lemay Avenue from Fossil Creek Boulevard to Trilby Road
• Taft Hill Bridge south of LaPorte Avenue.
We understand the engineering department may also need Geotechnical or
inspection services to assist in problem resolution with private developments and
contractors.
Some of the typical testing anticipated by the City for these projects includes:
• Asphalt extraction and gradation
• Aggregate sampling at plants and borrow sources for laboratory testing
• Physical properties and strength tests of concrete
• Proctors and nuclear field density tests for soils

Tom worked as a Project Manager, Project Engineer, and Construction Inspector for
the City of Fort Collins for eight years, where he developed working relationships
with many of the City project managers in several departments. We believe his
knowledge and understanding of many of the City's annual programs such as the
Pedestrian Access Program, the Street Maintenance Program, and street oversizing
projects will be a benefit to the City. During his tenure with the City, Tom was
assigned to numerous capital projects including the following:
• Timberline Road Extension;
• Prospect Road Reconstruction;
• Vermont Bicycle Underpass;
• Harmony Road Bicycle Lanes;
• Drake/College and Prospect/College intersections projects; and
• Bridge widening projects on Drake Road and Prospect Road.
Tom was also a member of the City team that revised the Fort Collins Street
Construction Standards in 1996, and participated in the community group that wrote
the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards in 2001.
Mr. Jon Doudna, PE manages field operations for the Fort Collins branch office. He
has worked with CTL/Thompson, Inc. for more than 12 years. Jon is a materials
engineer with extensive experience with mix designs, performance related aspects
of pavement construction, and quality control of field and laboratory procedures and
personnel. Jon has helped clients with forensic investigations and dispute
resolution, and has worked on a wide variety of projects including Denver
International Airport, Flatiron Marketplace, and Invesco Field at Mile High. Jon will
oversee the day to day testing, reviewing, and reporting activities of the contract,
coordinating schedules with the lead technician and other field and laboratory
personnel.
Mr. Craig Ellis will be our Lead Technician. He will supervise our field operations,
perform testing and inspections, schedule additional technicians, and be the primary
contact with the City construction inspectors. Craig began his career as an
engineering technician with CTL/Thompson in 1986. He is a is a Senior Engineering
Technician with experience in construction materials testing, including asphalt and
concrete pavements, mix designs, and field and laboratory testing of concrete,
asphalt, aggregate, and soil. Craig has worked on projects such as Denver
International Airport, E470, and numerous CDOT projects.
Craig worked as a QC technician for LaFarge in Fort Collins for 5 years and is
familiar with local aggregate sources and asphalt hot plant operations throughout
the area. Craig has established working relationships with many contractor crews
and personnel.

PROJECT APPROACH
Our goal is to work with as a team with our staff, the contractors, and the City project
managers and inspectors. We believe the keys to successful projects include
constant communication and a commitmentto resolve problems as quickly after they
arise as possible. By assigning the right personnel and working together we can
minimize delays and avoid disputes.
Scheduling and Response. Your primary contact to schedule testing services will
be Mr. Craig Ellis. He will be available as needed to coordinate schedules with the
appropriate representatives from the City for each project. We propose to
communicate with our team and the City construction inspectors using Nextel radio
telephones. We will furnish Nextel radio telephones to key people designated by the
City to facilitate quick response.
Immediate response to requests for services and fastturnaround on laboratory tests
are of critical importance. For routine testing of soil, concrete, or asphalt, our
technicians will respond to your request for services during normal working hours
within 2 hours of your request. However, we appreciate prior day notice when
possible. Our technicians are routinely available Monday through Saturday 7 am to
6 pm, however we can adjust to special circumstances or unusual schedules as
needed. Test results will be left on site and results communicated in person or by
telephone to the project personnel immediately after the test completion. Written
copies of test reports will be submitted to City personnel within 24 hours.
Written reports can be provided by fax, email, or delivery to the project site. Our in-
house computer capabilities and database allowseamless report transmission using
Microsoft products, if email reporting is your preferred reporting method. Our test
reports will be reviewed by either Mr. Chapel or Mr. Doudna, who are also available
to answer questions or respond to the City's needs.
We propose to calibrate two nuclear gauges with cores for use on City projects. Our
core drilling equipment will be available on an as -needed basis for these projects as
well. Air meters, scales and other testing equipment used in the field are also
routinely calibrated.
In 2002 we expanded our laboratory facilities in Fort Collins which included state of
the practice equipment for asphalt, concrete, aggregate, and soil testing. Our

equipment includes an asphalt ignition furnace oven, which we propose to use for
this project. The ignition furnace can be used to provide reliable asphalt content
results within about 30 minutes without the environmental concerns associated with
solvent extractions. Sieve analyses can also be performed on ignition furnace
samples following the asphalt content testing. We are equipped to perform nuclear
asphalt content testing, if preferred.
Many ASTM and AASHTO procedures have requirements (such as for drying of
samples) that extend testing times to 12 hours or beyond. Unless performing the
requested test procedure in such a time frame conflicts with the applicable ASTM
or AASHTO standard test method, we will provide all laboratory test results within
24 hours.
Testing Frequency. We understand the importance of independent testing for City
projects to the same standards and with the same frequency required of the private
sector. Wework throughoutthe City on private developments in public rights -of -way
and we are familiar with those standards. Our project manager was involved in the
revision of the Standards in 1996 and 2001. The test methods and frequency required
by the City of Fort Collins Standards (Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards,
repealed and reenacted October 1, 2002) are summarized in Appendix B.
FEES
The RFP included a schedule of fees for tests commonly used for these types of
projects in the past and is signed and included in Appendix C. We also have
capabilities to perform many other tests that may or may not be needed as part of the
scope of work for this contract. We have included those items in Appendix D. Our
fees include all labor, mileage, testing, sampling review, typing or data processing,
and report writing for each work item. Hourly fees are charged for elapsed time at
the job site. When calculating our fees, we assumed we would be on each job site
a minimum of one hour, and that stand-by time would be assessed for periods longer
than 16 minutes.
We have completed and signed the fee schedule as requested. If your examination
of the schedule indicates that we interpreted your proposed fee structure differently
than you intended, we would be pleased to clarify our fees.
