HomeMy WebLinkAboutRESPONSE - RFP - P1116 I25 SH392 1601 STUDYNo Text has a thorough understanding of these issues and will meet early in the process with the EIS team to resolve this critical issue. Our team has already made initial contacts with CDOT and EIS consultant team in about this issue and has opened the channels of communication. A more detailed understanding of the retaining walls necessary will be developed. Currently the EIS is showing retaining walls necessary to avoid/minimize ROW acquisition adjacent to the proposed ramp alignments. The ramp terminals will closely match what is shown in the EIS, however since 1-25 mainline will not shift as part of this project, there is opportunity to adjust the ramp alignments beyond the terminals to avoid the need for retaining walls. Other walls were also shown on the west side of SH 392 to avoid/minimize wetland disturbance. We will verify the need for these walls in concert with our more detailed environmental research. The structure architecture and structure type will be critical in determining accurate construction cost estimates for the project. DMJM Harris has lead this type of effort at a number of interchanges including multiple bridge selection studies in CDOT Region 4 along 1-76 and throughout Colorado. Construction phasing will be addressed as a cost consideration. The proposed bridge structure is much wider than the existing structure. This provides the opportunity to maintain the existing alignment of SH 392 without shifting to accommodate for bridge reconstruction. The proposed bridge will also include sidewalks and this width that will ultimately be used for sidewalks can be used temporarily during construction for general vehicular traffic. These conditions suggest that the bridge can be constructed in 2 phases, which will reduce overall construction complexity and cost as well as reducing impact to the motoring public and community. D. Project Funding The Scope of Work will support preparing a financial plan for the project. Deliverables will include a summary of the preliminary financial plan that will be used for presentation to the City of Fort Collins, the Town of Windsor and the CDOT Transportation Commission. Construction cost estimates will be updated in concert with the preparation of the Enhanced Preliminary Design, DMJM Harris will also attend meetings with the City of Fort Collins, Town of Windsor, Metro Acquisitions, CDOT, NFRMPO and FHWA as necessary to facilitate the necessary s — A U1-- City of Fort CoIIins/Town of Windsor 3 22 I-25/SH 3921601Study IGA agreements and resolutions that must be in place to achieve final "approval' of access through the 1601 and IAR process. 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 step stone for this project and refined to include new concepts and approaches. The previous estimate identified the following capital costs: r '9l1cmog al. ;m �' <tlln'i cs� atc - C I5 9otl 11 es d�. llgo ! obil cFirlscaprng......ccowms on. wnsfrur.(,ov m5,nlentmCc of lmfl,c. miLa4on orhennoiAental „eme antl apt 15 5°o cOn,nOCnry 3 Does nc¢ida 2,gntoPf/ay Potential financing mechanisms for improvements will be coordinated with the potential development and improvement districts, 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. Using our previous knowledge and services, DMJM Harris is prepared to continue to support the project stakeholders in completing the plan of finance. From our previous work on this interchange, a special district coupled with a partnership from the cities and CDOT appears to be the best approach to finance this interchange. Accordingly, a series of steps and agreements are necessary to achieve this funding mechanism. We offer the following suggested steps: DMJM Harris 16 Legal description of the properties that will comprise the district. (previously completed by DMJM Harris and only needs minor updating) A drawing or map showing the boundaries of the district (readily available) A vicinity map showing the district's location. (completed by DMJM Harris) A recent title commitment identifying ownership of all property within the proposed boundaries of the district. (requires updating) 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. • 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 number 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 and line drawings are suggested. 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. OAs can �. ---- City of Fort Collins/sown of Windsor 392 I-25/SH 392 1601 Study 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 We can also support the participating agencies in developing convincing IGAs. E. Communications and Public Process Public involvement is critical to any interchange planning process, especially so for the 1-25/SH 392 interchange in which multiple jurisdictions and agencies are involved. Our team brings a deep understanding of the project area, the issues here, and the key stakeholders involved. Not only has our team conducted a number of public involvement processes for projects of similar scale, our approach was especially successful with the 1-25/SH 392 Interchange Improvement Plan. That plan demonstrated our commitment to engaging the public, key stakeholders, and decision makers from Fort Collins and Windsor to reach the most beneficial design, planning, and funding solutions at this interchange. Because of the project's level of complexity, public involvement for 1-25/SH 392 Interchange Improvement Plan was extensive and outreach strategies were tailored to each group of stakeholders. At the community -wide level, a Technical Advisory Committee JAC), consisting of representatives from the NFRMPO, Latimer County, City of Fort Collins, Town of Windsor and CDOT, assisted in directing the project. Other tools, such as two public meetings, council and commission presentations, a joint Town of Windsor and City of Fort Collins work session, meetings with Town and City Finance Departments, newspaper articles and a website, involved stakeholders at the community and travelshed levels. Five stakeholder meetings, direct mailings, four group meetings, individual DMJM Harris 17 meetings, and a series of bulletins were used to engage immediate property and business owners adjacent to the interchange as well potential developers. Our team will conduct a similar approach to continue the public involvement that has already occurred in the area to keep stakeholders engaged in this next stage of the interchange improvement process. Additional meetings with property owners will help set the stage for a possible future funding district that benefits both communities. Our team is especially qualified for this role because the stakeholders and property owners here are familiar with us and our public involvement approach. Furthermore, we understand the range of possible funding alternatives for the area, as developed in the 1-25/SH 392 Interchange Improvement Plan. To begin the public involvement process for the 1-25/SH 392 1601 Process, we will first meet with the City, Town, and CDOT to discuss our approach. At this time we will finalize the goals of each of the public meetings, the list of individuals that will be targeted for stakeholder meetings, and which additional methods of outreach will be used to engage the public. Additional outreach methods that we propose include a project website and bi-monthly newsletters, both of which proved successful during the 1-25/SH 392 Interchange Improvement Plan. According to the RFP, we will prepare and conduct a minimum of two public meetings. The initial goals for the first meeting at the project onset will be to solicit feedback and inform the public of the process that is underway. The second meeting will be held upon completion of the alternatives analysis to obtain feedback on the proposed alternatives (including the preferred). From a public standpoint, If CDOT or FHWA should determine additional meetings are warranted to satisfy the NEPA process, then they will be held as needed. A Project Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) will also be established early in the process in order to closely coordinate with the participating jurisdictions and agencies, including CDOT, FHWA, North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and the Division of Wildlife. The EDAW Team will meet regularly, on a monthly basis or as needed, with this TAC. Lastly, our team will provide the materials- presentations, exhibits, and summaries- to support reviews by Boards and Commissions of each jurisdiction, along with work sessions ,. ---- City of Fort Collms/rown of Windsor 392 1-25tSH 392 1601 Study by the Windsor Town Board and Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board, Fort Collins Transportation Board, City Council and the State Transportation Commission. Our team will also prepare materials to be used in any final adoption meetings and public hearings before the Windsor Town Board, the Fort Collins City Council and the Colorado Transportation Commission. F. Schedule DMJM Harris will continually refine the detailed work plan and milestones necessary to meet schedule and budget requirements. The project workflow and schedule shown on the following page reflects our project understanding. We recognize that as part of a collaborative team including all of the key stakeholders, we need to maintain a realistic schedule that reflects issues outside of our control like signed intergovernmental agreements and identified funding sources. By realistically tracking project work elements using standard scheduling tools, we can eliminate the need to unduly pressure decisions other than those that are truly on the critical path. A schedule update of key upcoming events, coordination issues, and areas of risk will be reported in monthly progress reports and meetings with the City, Town and Interchange Implementation Team. We also recognize that each schedule may need to be tailored to the given audience so key milestones from their perspectives are simplified. Our team has prepared this type of information in support of Counsel Working Sessions and the Justification for Separate Actions.

The EIS screening for interchange type will be utilized as possible. Screening if necessary will be minimized to a total of 3 alternatives including the SPUI, "tight diamond", and no build SCOPE OF WORK Page 6 alternatives. Previous screening analysis will be recognized if applicable and acceptable by CDOT. A summary matrix of the screening conducted by the EIS will be prepared to include in the SLFS. Schematic design of additional alternatives beyond the "tight diamond" is not anticipated. e. Accident Analysis. A summary of the accident data that has been collected and compiled in the CDOT accident data will be summarized. A summary of the data will include accident rates and a summary of the most prevalent types of accidents. Documentation. A summary document will be prepared that includes packaging of the analysis for the SLFS into a document that includes supporting exhibits and graphic representations that can be used by the Transportation Commission as an aid to the decision making process. The same information will also be packaged in a document that responds to the 8-policy points of the FHWA Interstate Access Request requirements. Each document will present similar information but will be stand alone documents. g. A draft of each document will be prepared, followed by a final document that responds to comments that will then be submitted to the respective agencies. 2. Enhanced Preliminary Design. The following conceptual design development shall be managed by the Consultant. The intent of the design shall be to establish more certainty in the cost estimates for the interchange and to establish the footprint for environmental clearances. The deliverable will include 1":100' scale conceptual interchange drawings that show the general layout of the bridge structure, location of walls, toe of slope of the roadside grading, and roadway layout and limits of construction. a. Roadway and Roadside Design. Review the roadway design elements to confirm the roadway typical section, intersection configurations and turn lane storage requirements, grading, roadway design criteria including horizontal design speed of curves, and general concept of the project. Updated topographic aerial mapping will be obtained to provide the necessary 1-foot contour accuracy of design. The "tight diamond" interchange will be the only alternative that will be designed for detailed cost estimating and environmental clearance purposes. Structure Design. The structure type and general footprint of the SH 392 overpass will be conceptually designed. Issues that will be coordinated include the length and number of spans of the bridge that SCOPE OF WORK Page 7 will be consistent with the existing and proposed future alignment of I- 25 as shown in the Draft EIS. This design will be closely coordinated with the CDOT and EIS team to obtain consensus that the concept structure design is consistent with planned future shifting improvements to 1-25, and does not preclude future transit options that are currently advancing in the Draft EIS. C. Wall Design. The retaining walls that are shown in the preliminary EIS will be confirmed. The size and type of wall will be determined so that accurate costs and physical footprint can be determined. Important considerations in determining type of wall will be constraints such as construction work space, traffic control, type of material to be retained, and presence of utilities. Drainage Design. A conceptual drainage design will be developed that will identify potential water quality features and best management practices to establish the capability of the project to comply with MS-4 requirements. e. Utility Design. A mapping of all known utilities in the interchange will be prepared. A concept plan for likely utility relocation will be prepared to better identify potential costs to the project. Landscape/Architecture Design. The team will produce a number of products that addresses City and Town concerns as it relates to streetscape, gateway features, bridge aesthetics and other factors. Deliverables include: • Illustrative Concept Plan Draft (30" x 42") • Illustrative Concept Plan Final (30" x 42") • Entry approach/gateway rendered perspectives (2) • Section/elevation of overpass (1) • Illustrative roadway/landuse sections (2) These are the broader context sections into the adjacent properties. • Draft and Final Cost Opinion for landscape, gateway monuments and bridge architectural treatment. A general concept of the landscape and bridge architecture will be developed. A concept rendering of the interchange and bridge will be developed that demonstrates the landscape and architecture that can be achieved within the construction budget of the project. SCOPE OF WORK Page 8 g. ROW Plan. Property ownership near the interchange will be prepared along with a list and exhibit of necessary ROW acquisition for the project. h. Construction Cost Estimate. Based on the Enhanced Preliminary Design a detailed cost estimate will be prepared with supporting exhibits of the design and location of key features. 3. Documented Categorical Exclusion. The following NEPA clearance activities shall be managed by the Consultant. Much of the data necessary to complete the top half of CDOT from 128 has already been collected by the EIS team. a. Review existing documents and studies. A comprehensive review of the existing EIS and EOS information will be compiled. b. Resource Investigations. The following are the assumptions of this scope of work in preparing the necessary documentation. • Air quality conformance — CO Hot Spot analysis will not be required as Level of Service C or better is anticipated based on the preliminary analysis from the EIS. • Noise — No significant receptors in the area as determined by the EIS team. • Hazardous materials — Use EIS data to provide documentation • Farmland protection — Use EIS data to provide documentation • T&E Species — Use EIS data to provide documentation • Water Quality, Wetland, Floodplain, Stream Encroachments - Use EIS data to provide documentation as available. A project specific wetland delineation will be prepared using 1987 wetland delineation manual to determine if hydroponic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology are present, and if there is connectivity to a traditional navigable water of the U.S., thus potentially "jurisdictional' and regulated under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act by the Army Corps of Engineers. Archeology — Use EIS data to provide documentation Paleontology — Use EIS data to provide documentation History — Use EIS data to provide documentation. SCOPE OF WORK Page 9 • Historic Bridge — Use EIS data to provide documentation. • 4(f), 6(f) — Use EIS data to provide documentation. • ROW — use enhanced preliminary design to prepare ROW acquisition estimates. • Land Use — consistency summary referencing local land use planning Socio/Economic Factors - Use EIS data to provide documentation b. Documentation. A brief summary report of resources with supporting exhibits will be prepared to be attached to the Form 128. A draft of the document will be prepared, followed by a final report that responds to comments received on the draft report.

Once a final cost is established it will be added to the cost of services. 4. Initial Submittals. Submit the following samples to the City/Town for approval: - Internal progress report mock-up - Initial project schedule - Public newsletter format 5. Progress Meetings The City/Town and Consultant Project Managers will meet periodically as required (typically on a monthly basis). The fee estimate is based on 6 progress meetings. Progress meetings will as much as possible be coordinated with other meetings that are occurring for the project. Conference calls may also be considered for progress meetings between the consultant and City/Town project managers. 3 of the progress meetings are anticipated to be in person and 3 are anticipated to be conducted via conference call. Progress meetings may occur on a more frequent basis during part of the project and may SCOPE OF WORK Page 2 not occur as often during another part of the project. The Progress Meetings will be used to coordinate and track the work effort and resolve problems. The meetings will review the following: (1) Activities required to be completed since the last meeting. (2) Problems encountered and effectiveness of previous problem resolutions. (3) Late activities. (4) Activities required to be completed by the next progress meeting. (5) Solutions proposed for unresolved and anticipated problems. (6) Information or items required from other agencies. A monthly progress report summary will be prepared that can be used by the internal team as a communication tool to the many stakeholders of the project. A total of 6 progress report summaries are assumed as part of this scope of services. The summaries will consist of a 1 page synopsis of project progress. 6. Communication and Consensus Building Stakeholder "milestone" meetings. The consultant will be expected to plan for and attend up to 2 "milestone' meetings with key stakeholders in the Owner's respective jurisdictions, CDOT, and FHWA stakeholders. Larimer County and the MPO will be invited to the meetings as well. The meetings should be scheduled when the consultant has prepared technical data and information that the stakeholder group needs to consider and approve prior to the consultant moving forward to subsequent work tasks. The consultant shall send out packets containing this information so that it is in the hands of the stakeholder group invitees at least one week prior to the meeting, in order to provide adequate time for meaningful review. This information shall clearly communicate what decisions or guidance is needed from the stakeholder group at each meeting. TAC and Subcommittee meetings. The consultant will attend the advisory team meetings and environmental subcommittee team meetings as necessary. If the environmental subcommittee is to be a separate committee from the Natural Resources Advisory Board, then a representative from the NRA Board will be on the subcommittee so that a report can be made to the Board by that representative. A total of 5 subcommittee meetings are included in the scope of services. SCOPE OF WORK Page 3 C. City Council, Town Board, and Transportation Commission meetings. The consultant will be expected to plan for and attend meetings of Boards and Commissions of each jurisdiction, along with work sessions by the Windsor Town Board, the Windsor Planning Commission, the Fort Collins Planning and Zoning Board, Fort Collins Transportation Board, City Council and the State Transportation Commission. Final adoption of the Study will require a formal presentation before the Windsor Town Board, the Fort Collins City Council and the Colorado Transportation Commission. The selected consultant will be required to prepare exhibits for use in presentations to these boards and commissions. A total of 2 City Council meetings, 2 Town Board meetings, and 1 Transportation Commission meetings are included in the scope of services. A total of 3 City work sessions, and 3 Town work sessions are included in the scope of services. Public Involvement a. Conduct (2) public meetings. One of the public meetings will be at a mutually agreeable location in Fort Collins, and one of the meetings will be in Windsor or at the REA location. The content and intent of the meetings shall be as follows: The first meeting should be held in the early part of the process to solicit feedback and inform the public of the process that is underway. The second meeting will be held when the alternatives analysis is complete, to solicit feedback on the proposed (including the preferred) alternatives. The consultant will plan, prepare for, attend, document comments received, and summarize the meeting results for the public meetings related to the proposed interchange improvements. The consultant shall provide drafts of all materials to be presented at all the public meetings to the stakeholder group for review and approval enough in advance of the public meeting to ensure meaningful review and feedback. The consultant shall prepare a meeting notice for the public meetings. The Owners will advertise the meetings per their respective notice requirements, and secure a location for the meetings at no cost to the consultant. The costs to print and send up to 200 direct mailings of each meeting notice to adjacent property and business owners are included in the scope of services; however, the Owners shall provide SCOPE OF WORK Page 4 the consultant the names and addresses of those property and business owners to whom the notices will be sent. Although public meetings are not required for NEPA compliance with a Categorical Exclusion, if CDOT or FHWA should determine additional meetings are warranted to satisfy NEPA they will be held as needed. These meetings can be conducted as additional services to be negotiated. b. Newsletters and website. The consultant shall prepare bi-monthly (once every two months) project newsletters to be mailed to adjacent property and business owners, or mailed to other interested citizens who request to be on the project's mailing list. A total of 2 project newsletters are included in the scope of services. The consultant shall provide electronic information about the project to the Owners for posting on their respective websites. It is anticipated that this information be generally the project newsletters, supplemented by other limited additional information that may be of interest to the public, such as: Project Purpose and Need, Public Involvement Process, Project Timeline, Alternatives Considered, and Preferred Alternative. 8. Project Management. DMJM Harris will coordinate all the work tasks being accomplished by the DMJM Harris Team and their subconsultants to ensure project work completion stages are on schedule. This work includes meeting arrangements, contracting, and project invoicing. Project controls and internal task management activities will be implemented to assure work progress per agreed schedule. DMJM Harris will prepare and submit invoices in accordance with City of Fort Collins requirements on a monthly basis. SCOPE OF WORK Page 5 B. Project Development Systems Level Feasibility Study (SLFS). The following elements of the SLFS will be completed by the consultant. a. Scoping Meeting. The first step of the 1601 process will include a scoping meeting with the intent of clearly defining the level of analysis that will be necessary for the study. This meeting will also be used to request and transfer data that has already been collected as part of the North 1-25 EIS and SH 392 EOS efforts. Although it is not anticipated, additional information that is needed for analysis such as traffic counts will be added to this scope of work at the result of the scoping meeting. b. Develop roadway network traffic model. A small area roadway network will be developed using VISSIM software. The limits of the analysis will be Harmony interchange to the north, Crossroads interchange to the south, CR 5 on the west, and CR 7 on the east. Performance measures will be included at the intersections along SH 392, and at the SH 392/1- 25 interchange ramp terminals. On -ramp and off -ramp performance measures will also be reported. Performance measures at the Harmony and Crossroads interchanges will also be reported. Three scenarios will be reported; existing, no build, and the "tight diamond" configuration. c. Traffic Forecasts. The North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization (NFRMPO) transportation demand model will be used to determine forecast traffic conditions. The NFRMPO 2035 model will be updated to reflect the land use, street network, and transportation analysis zone revisions completed as part of the most up-to-date preliminary development plans adjacent to the interchange. A total of 2 coordination meetings with various agencies(CDOT, Larimer County/Fort Collins/Windsor, and NFRMPO) are assumed to finalize land use assumptions for the model input. A letter of concurrence from the NFRMPO will be obtained documenting the land use assumptions. Actual model runs and outputs from the model are assumed to be provided by the NFRMPO staff. The following scenarios will be used: No -Action with NFRMPO 2035 land use No -Action with revised 2035 land use SCOPE OF WORK Page 6 No Text "tight diamond" with NFRMPO 2035 land use "tight diamond" with revised 2035 land use Alternatives analysis. The EIS screening for interchange type will be utilized as possible. Screening if necessary will be minimized to a total of 3 alternatives including the SPUI, "tight diamond", and no build alternatives. Previous screening analysis will be recognized if applicable and acceptable by CDOT. A summary matrix of the screening conducted by the EIS will be prepared to include in the SLFS. Schematic design of additional alternatives beyond the "tight diamond" is not anticipated. e. Accident Analysis. A summary of the accident data that has been collected and compiled in the CDOT accident data will be summarized. A summary of the data will include accident rates and a summary of the most prevalent types of accidents. Documentation. A summary document will be prepared that includes packaging of the analysis for the SLFS into a document that includes supporting exhibits and graphic representations that can be used by the Transportation Commission as an aid to the decision making process. The same information will also be packaged in a document that responds to the 8-policy points of the FHWA Interstate Access Request requirements. Each document will present similar information but will be stand alone documents. g. A draft of each document will be prepared, followed by a final document that responds to comments that will then be submitted to the respective agencies. 2. Enhanced Preliminary Design. The following conceptual design development shall be managed by the Consultant. The intent of the design shall be to establish more certainty in the cost estimates for the interchange and to establish the footprint for environmental clearances. The deliverable will include 1":100' scale conceptual interchange drawings that show the general layout of the bridge structure, location of walls, toe of slope of the roadside grading, and roadway layout and limits of construction. Roadway and Roadside Design. Review the roadway design elements to confirm the roadway typical section, intersection configurations and turn lane storage requirements, grading, roadway design criteria including horizontal design speed of curves, and general concept of the project. Updated topographic aerial mapping will be obtained to provide the necessary 1-foot contour accuracy of design. The "tight SCOPE OF WORK Page 7 diamond" interchange will be the only alternative that will be designed for detailed cost estimating and environmental clearance purposes. b. Structure Design. The structure type and general footprint of the SH 392 overpass will be conceptually designed. Issues that will be coordinated include the length and number of spans of the bridge that will be consistent with the existing and proposed future alignment of 1- 25 as shown in the Draft EIS. This design will be closely coordinated with the CDOT and EIS team to obtain consensus that the concept structure design is consistent with planned future shifting improvements to 1-25, and does not preclude future transit options that are currently advancing in the Draft EIS. c. Wall Design. The retaining walls that are shown in the preliminary EIS will be confirmed. The size and type of wall will be determined so that accurate costs and physical footprint can be determined. Important considerations in determining type of wall will be constraints such as construction work space, traffic control, type of material to be retained, and presence of utilities. Drainage Design. A conceptual drainage design will be developed that will identify potential water quality features and best management practices to establish the capability of the project to comply with MS-4 requirements. Utility Design. A mapping of all known utilities in the interchange will be prepared. A concept plan for likely utility relocation will be prepared to better identify potential costs to the project. Landscape/Architecture Design. The team will produce a number of products that addresses City and Town concerns as it relates to streetscape, gateway features, bridge aesthetics and other factors. Deliverables include: Illustrative Concept Plan Draft (30" x 42") Illustrative Concept Plan Final (30" x 42") • Entry approach/gateway rendered perspectives (2) • Section/elevation of overpass (1) Illustrative roadway/landuse sections (2) These are the broader context sections into the adjacent properties. • Draft and Final Cost Opinion for landscape, gateway monuments and bridge architectural treatment. A general concept of the landscape and bridge architecture will be SCOPE OF WORK Page 8 developed. A concept rendering of the interchange and bridge will be developed that demonstrates the landscape and architecture that can be achieved within the construction budget of the project. ROW Plan. Property ownership near the interchange will be prepared along with a list and exhibit of necessary ROW acquisition for the project. Construction Cost Estimate. Based on the Enhanced Preliminary Design a detailed cost estimate will be prepared with supporting exhibits of the design and location of key features. 3. Documented Categorical Exclusion. The following NEPA clearance activities shall be managed by the Consultant. Much of the data necessary to complete the top half of CDOT from 128 has already been collected by the EIS team. a. Review existing documents and studies. A comprehensive review of the existing EIS and EOS information will be compiled. b. Resource Investigations. The following are the assumptions of this scope of work in preparing the necessary documentation. • Air quality conformance — CO Hot Spot analysis will not be required as Level of Service C or better is anticipated based on the preliminary analysis from the EIS. • Noise — No significant receptors in the area as determined by the EIS team. • Hazardous materials — Use EIS data to provide documentation • Farmland protection — Use EIS data to provide documentation • T&E Species — Use EIS data to provide documentation • Water Quality, Wetland, Floodplain, Stream Encroachments - Use EIS data to provide documentation as available. A project specific wetland delineation will be prepared using 1987 wetland delineation manual to determine if hydroponic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology are present, and if there is connectivity to a traditional navigable water of the U.S., thus potentially "jurisdictional' and regulated under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act by the Army Corps of Engineers. SCOPE OF WORK Page 9 • Archeology — Use EIS data to provide documentation Paleontology — Use EIS data to provide documentation • History — Use EIS data to provide documentation. • Historic Bridge — Use EIS data to provide documentation. • 4(f), 6(f) — Use EIS data to provide documentation. • ROW — use enhanced preliminary design to prepare ROW acquisition estimates. • Land Use — consistency summary referencing local land use planning • Socio/Economic Factors - Use EIS data to provide documentation b.

Nlehalko Vice President Signature Date signed Estimated Costs $0.00 $ 116,04200 Standard Professional Services Agreement- rev07/08 26 Scope of Work The DMJM Harris team is prepared to deliver a scope of work that meets the following objectives: • 1601 & IAR Approvals • Environmental clearances • Enhanced preliminary and possibly final design • Financial analysis and development • Effective communications and public process • Managed schedule We have developed a macro level representation of the project shown in Figure 1 (below). Within each of the phases shown, there are a defined list of deliverables. Our team has worked with the City, Town and CDOT, to help establish a Team understanding of the necessary steps in moving toward implementation. By defining the macro level understanding of the project, the tasks and subtasks necessary to achieving the end results are reduced to the following manageable Scope of Work for Phase II of this project. A. Technical Feasibility CDOT 1601 System Level Feasibility Study (SLFS) To reduce redundant analysis, the Systems Level Feasibility Study will use the 8 policy points from the FHWA Interchange Access Request (IAR) guidance as a framework for analysis. The following discussions explain each.... and our approach to analysis. Figure 1 - Overview of the project phases •-, ----- City of Fort Coll ins/l own of Windsor 39z 25/SH 3921601 study The existing interchanges and/or local roads and streets in the corridor can IAR neither provide the necessary access Policy point 1 not, be improved to satisfactorily accommodate the design yearly traffic demands while at the same time providing the access intended by the proposal. Approach: DMJM Harris will evaluate alternate routes, the functionality of those alternate routes for existing and future traffic volumes without the I-25/SH 392 interchange modifications. The North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization (NFRMPO) administers the transportation demand model that will be used for determining traffic loading of the interchange and surrounding roadways within the small area study network. The NFRMPO 2035 model will be validated to reflect the land use, street network, and transportation analysis zone revisions completed as part of the most up-to-date preliminary development plans adjacent to the interchange. A total of four coordination meetings with various agencies (CDOT, Town of Windsor, City of Fort Collins, and NFRMPO) are assumed to finalize land use assumptions for the model input. Our team has already contacted the primary modeler with the NFRMPO and our team will coordinate closely in developing future year forecasts for the operations analysis. The following scenarios will be used: No -Action with NFRMPO 2035 land use No -Action with revised 2035 land use Improved with NFRMPO 2035 land use Improved with revised 2035 land use DMJM Harris 12 All reasonable alternatives for design options, location and transportation system IAR management type improvements (such Policy Point Z as ramp metering, mass transit, and HOV facilities) have been assessed and provided for if curien fly justified, or provisions are included for accommodating such facilities if a future need is identified. Approach: Alternatives for the interchange have been screened during the North 1-25 EIS process. An Enhanced Preliminary Design will be prepared to fully document the Tight Diamond interchange and the interim ramp connections to the existing I-25 mainline. The intent will be to fully recognize the screening and stakeholder input that has already been conducted to arrive at the Tight Diamond interchange. Reference to other interchange types that have been screened through the EIS process will also be noted as appropriate, but will not be included if not consistent with the EIS. From a public standpoint, we understand the amount of "analysis" and "studies' that have already occurred. Our team will focus on not "reinventing" the project and keeping the process moving forward. The proposed access point does not have a significant adverse impact on the safety and IAR operation of the Interstate facility based on Policy Point3 an analysis of current and future traffic. The operational analysis for existing conditions shall, particularly in urbanized areas, include analysis of sections of Interstate to and including at least the first adjacent existing orproposed interchange on either side. Crossroads and other roads and streets shall be included in the analysis to the extent necessary to assure their ability to collect and distribute traffic to and from the interchange with new or revised access points. Approach: Building on our previous work, DMJM Harris will assess the effects of the interchange modifications on the existing highway system (including the need to expand both state and local roadways) and adjacent interchanges, and the level -of -service that will exist after the interchange modifications are added to the system. The logical termini for this analysis is assumed to be Harmony to the north and Crossroads to the south. The proposed western terminus is Larimer County Road 9 and the proposed eastern terminus is Larimer County Road 5. A VISSIM and/or Synchro model will f �A, --.-- City of Fort Collins/Town of Windsor 392 I-25/SH 392 1601 Study be developed to provide level -of -service and simulation of the interchange and surrounding roadway system The analysis will also include safety evaluation of the existing and future system and alternate routes with and without the proposed interchange modification. The proposed interchange will be designed to AASHTO, MUTCD, and CDOT standards and any waivers in standard design will be isolated and documented. The proposed access connects to a public road only and will provide for JAR aH traffic movemenls. Less than full Policy Point 4 - inlerr h ugra"' for spacial r>rrrposes �wcess for ir'ansil vehicles, lot HOv's, or into park and ride lots may be considered on a case -by -case basis. The proposed access will be designed to meet or exceed current standards for Federal -aid projects on the Interstate System. Approach: The project will provide full access thus minimal evaluation will be needed. By receiving written concurrence from FHWA and CDOT, this policy point will be met. The proposal considers and is consistent with local and regional land IAR use and transportation plans. Prior to Policy Point 5 final approval, all requests for new or revised access must be consistent with the metropolitan and/or statewide transportation plan, as appropriate, the applicable provisions of 23 CFR part 450 and the transportation conformity requirements of 40 CFR parts 51 and 93. Approach: By working with the NFRMPO, the City and Town planning departments early in the process, our team has established relationships and expectations that will continue through the project. We will validate and document consistently with the local and regional plans to satisfy this policy point. In areas where the potential exists for future multiple interchange additions, all IAR requests for new or revised access are Policy Point 6 supported by a comprehensive Interstate network study with recommendations that address all proposed and desired access within the context of a long-term plan. DMJM Harris 13 Approach: This section of the analysis will make reference to the North 1-25 EIS as the ongoing comprehensive interstate network study. Minimal analysis will be necessary. The request for a new or revised access generated by new or expanded IAR demonstrates appropriate develo ment Policy Point 7 ppmt coordination between the development and related or otherwise required transportation system improvements. Approach: DMJM Harris will closely coordinate with the potential development in the area including plans by Metro Acquisitions, LLC. A summary of the surrounding local transportation network that is planned to provide access to the development will be provided, including connections to frontage road relocation. The request for new or revised access contains information relative to the IAR planning requirements and the status Policy Point 8 of the environmental processing of the proposal. Approach: This section of the System Level Feasibility Study will be closely coordinated with the NEPA clearance that will also be underway during the analysis. A summary of the NEPA path and decisions at the time of the System Level Feasibility Study completion will be prepared in response to this Policy Point, DMJM Harris will work with CDOT and the Team Advisory Team to schedule and conduct briefings with the CDOT Transportation Commissioners prior to completion of the 1601 SLFS. These briefings will allow any questions to be answered prior to asking for formal action from the Commission. Our team will also schedule and conduct the presentation at the regular Transportation Commission meeting that is held the third Thursday of each month, tentatively scheduled in October 2008. B. Environmental Clearances An initial meeting with the CDOT RPEM will be conducted to further define the major environmental issues that are likely to need analysis on the project, Our team has already met with CDOT's RPEM and this scope of work makes basic assumptions on the level of analysis needed for each of the clearance actions identified on the CDOT Form 128. --- City effort Collins/Town of Windsor 392 1-25/SI 13921601 Study In large part, the necessary information has been gathered by the ongoing North 1-25 EIS, the SH 392 EOS, and the interchange improvement plan. This information will be gathered and compiled for necessary documentation for an anticipated documented Categorical Exclusion (Cat Ex). Our select subconsultant, EDAW, has a team of environmental professionals that have a thorough understanding of the ecology and natural resources found throughout the project area and are well - qualified to ensure all necessary evaluation is completed in accordance with NEPA and other local and federal environmental regulations. In the last several years, EDAW has completed numerous habitat and biological assessments within the project area, including the SH 392 Environmental Overview Study (EOS), the Fossil Creek Reservoir Resource Management Plan, and most recently, the 1-25/SH 392 Interchange Improvement Plan. EDAW also closely coordinated with the North 1-25 EIS CDOT Staff during the I-25/SH 392 Interchange Improvement Plan process to ensure that information in both documents coincided. Wetlands are present throughout the project area, and their evaluation is critical to the project. In 2007, EDAW evaluated the wetlands and hydrology and previous studies conducted at or near the project site. Previous mapping efforts have occurred at this site by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory (NWI) (Windsor, Colorado Quadrangle 1996) and by Larimer County (Cooper and Merritt 1996), and a wetland delineation was conducted as part of the North 1-25 EIS. Using these preliminary efforts as a tool, EDAW's biologists will conduct a formal wetland delineation specific to this project. The delineation will follow the 1987 Wetland Delineation Manual to determine if hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and wetland hydrology are present, and if there is connectivity to a traditional navigable water of the DMJM Harris 14 U.S., thus potentially "jurisdictional" and regulated under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act by the Army Corps of Engineers. In addition to wetland evaluation, EDAW is prepared to conduct the following analysis as necessary for environmental clearances. We will review and summarize the findings of existing studies, including: • SH 392 EOS • North 1-25 EIS • 1-25/SH 392 Interchange Improvement Plan • Fossil Creek Resource Management Plan • Duck Lake Restoration Plan As part of the Categorical Exclusion, these are potential environmental implications for the range of possible alternatives evaluated in the systems level analysis: • Wetlands • Special status species • Wildlife habitat • Water resources • Noise • Environmental contamination • Air quality • Cultural resources • Visual resources • Recreational resources We will identify and obtain the necessary per and approvals from federal and state agencies that will be required prior to construction of the transportation improvements. Permits that will need to be obtained, regulations that will require compliance include: • Clean Water Act • 404 Permit • 402 Permits • Stormwater Permit (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) • Municipal Permit • Dewatering Permit �. - --- City of Port Collins/Town Of Windsor 392 I-25/SH 392 1601 Study • 401 Permit • Hazardous Waste (PSI/SI) • Wetland Finding Colorado Division of Wildlife Senate Bill40 We will ensure compliance with additional regulations (lint guldr" and/or autholve the lmni golnant of the site's natural resources: • USFWS / Endangered Species Act • Migratory Bird Treaty Act • Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act • Noxious Weeds as regulated by Larimer County Weed Control Districts and City of Fort Collins City Code • National Historic Preservation Act • Protection of Wetlands (Executive Order 11990) Our thorough knowledge of the project area's biology, resources, and applicable regulations will ensure that the proper screening, analysis, and documentation are completed efficiently. C. Enhanced Preliminary Design Our first step in preparing the Enhanced Preliminary Design will be to establish an updated one foot contour base map. Using the North 1-25 EIS concept design that has been established for the interchange as the start point, the design will be updated to reflect the stand alone interchange improvements that will be constructed as part of this project. The following critical issues that will be addressed in preparing the Enhanced Preliminary Design: Demonstrate the design is compatible with the mass transit options that are being considered or as part of the EIS. Currently the EIS is showing a single span bridge of 1-25. This single span bridge is approximately 210 feet in length and shows 1-25 shifted from the current alignment. Given this project is not intended to reconstruct 1-25 on the shifted alignment, the bridge initially constructed as part of this project will likely be a 2-span structure so that construction costs are not significantly higher We believe a 2-span structure is an efficient solution that should be explored to meet the future transit elements and the future shifted 1-25 alignment.
