SUBJECT: Request for consent to assign the Professional Services Agreement, effective
January 1, 2009, for Professional Services on the Water Treatment Facility
Miscellaneous Services Project P1149 (the "Contract") from CH2M HILL, Inc.
to CH2M HILL Engineers, Inc.
Dear Mr. O'Neill:
CH2M HILL has decided to restructure our approach to delivering U.S. Federal and Non -
Federal work. Today, CH2M HILL conducts business in both U.S. Federal and Non -Federal
(commercial) markets, and until now, a significant portion of our Non -Federal business has
been housed in the same entities that were set up to satisfy the heavily regulated U.S.
Federal market. This change will create a stronger client focus and more efficient delivery
approach in both Federal and Non -Federal markets.
CH2M HILL's leadership has decided to move our Non -Federal work out of U.S. Federal
entities and into Non -Federal (commercial) entities. This will help us: (1) increase our
customer focus in both Non -Federal and U.S. Federal markets, (2) release our Non -Federal
business from regulatory requirements that apply to our Federal business only, and (3)
enhance our compliance position with the U.S. Federal Government.
Effective October 29, 2011, and in accordance with paragraph 12 of the Contract,
CH2M HILL requests the assignment of the Contract from CH2M HILL, Inc. (INC) to
CH2M HILL Engineers, Inc. (CHE). CHE will assume all of the rights and benefits under
the Contract, but the liabilities and obligations under the Contract would remain with INC,
thereby resulting in no change to your degree of protection in accordance with the terms of
the Contract.
CHE will ensure the following upon the effective date of the assignment:
There will be no change in personnel assigned to your project.
There will be no interruption in continuity of service.
All contractual obligations will continue to be delivered and satisfied.

CHE is a Non -Federal legal entity within CH2M HILL that has all necessary resources to
successfully complete your project and has the full backing of the CH2M HILL enterprise.
CHE has all necessary licenses to perform the work under the Contract. There will be no
change in insurance for your project; applicable documents will be reissued to reflect the
change in legal entity.
Pursuant to and in accordance with the Contract, this letter constitutes CH2M HILL's
request that the City of Fort Collins, Colorado consent to and approve of assignment of the
Contract from INC to CHE, effective October 29, 2011.
Please provide your consent to and approval of Contract assignment to CHE by executing
the consent block below and returning this letter to CH2M HILL.

CHE.
