Transportation Planning and Engineering Consultant On -call 1 8
C. Project experience
Atkins has been the prime consultant on over 34 local
on -call services contracts for municipal clients, CDOT,
and FHWA since 1998. We take pride in our demonstrated
delivery under on -call contracts.
The City of Fort
Collins On -call Civil
Engineering Services
(Ongoing). This contract
with the City required
on -call civil engineering
services. The projects
include design, layout
sheets, quality control
check, and construction documents for the Pleasant Valley
Canal culvert under Drake Road that was extended to
accommodate the widening of Drake Road. The project
also consisted of a cast -in -place concrete box culvert,
wingwall extensions, and bridge rail built in accordance
with CDOT Standard Plan M-6ot-1; drainage design,
preliminary/final design, cost estimates, and construction
administration assistance for the replacement of the
Arthur ditch; the development of a transportation
performance measurement system; and the conceptual
design and feasibility study of a one -lane roundabout at the
intersection of Ziegler and Ketcher Roads.
Project specific experience
The Atkins team has a significant amount of successful
experience working with the City and throughout Colorado,
and we have highlighted a sample of those projects we
believe will directly relate to your program needs.
SH 82 Corridor
Optimization Plan, City
of Glenwood Springs
(2oo8). Atkins worked
with the City of Glenwood
Springs, Garfield County,
and CDOT to identify
and evaluate several
alternatives to improve
the movement of people and goods along and across
SH 82. A key component of this project was to identify
alternatives that improved local and regional mobility
while maintaining or improving the local community
character. Atkins led a project team that included elected
officials, City staff, CDOT, County staff, and numerous
interested stakeholders from the local community to
develop a list of possible alternatives to address existing
and future congestion on SH 82 and to promote a
multimodal solution. The results of the analysis allowed
the alternatives to be ranked against each other based on
overall sustainability of the solution and the overall cost/
benefit to the community.
Jefferson Street
Alternatives Analysis,
City of Fort Collins
(Ongoing). Atkins is
providing the City with
planning and alternatives
analysis services for the
Jefferson Street Corridor.
The project includes a complete set of design options for
Jefferson Street/SH 14 and the intersections of Mountain
Avenue and Linden Street. The alternatives analysis
included traditional roadway and intersection designs
along with roundabouts and other innovative context -
sensitive design solutions based upon local, state, and
national best practices.
Because of the number of stakeholders and agencies
involved, the decision making process on Jefferson Street
is a key to its success. Establishing an executive committee
to make key decisions throughout the project broke the
holdup of continual agency backtracking. The consensus
preferred alternative for the corridor includes extensive
streetscape design that will remove a lane from the state
highway for a portion of the project and will provide a
three -lane section through the revitalization portion of the
corridor that will allow for pedestrian plaza areas, wider
sidewalks, and traffic calming landscaped medians.
North College Avenue,
City of Fort Collins
Colorado (2011). Atkins
provided structural design,
environmental compliance,
and construction
engineering services for
the North College Avenue
project that improves
the safety, operations, and aesthetics between Vine Drive
and the Hickory/Conifer intersection. Carrie Wallis led
the NEPA clearance document categorical exclusion
for the City. Atkins provided final design, construction
management, and environmental clearance services.
Evaluation of
OTGreenLITES Program
(2011). Integrating
sustainability into
transportation processes is
an area of interest of many
federal, state, and municipal transportation departments
and is a key component to the overall success of a program.
Atkins supported CDOT in taking a proactive approach
to develop and implement a cost-effective transportation
sustainability program in which sustainable design
elements are identified during the design scoping phase
of the project, as opposed to later in the design process
where sustainable design elements are simply considered
an afterthought. Carrie Wallis worked with CDOT to "test
drive" the New York State DOT's GreenLITES process, an
internal sustainability rating and certification process for
transportation designs. This model was used on two I-70
Transportation Planning and Engineering Consultant On -call 1 9
interchange design projects to determine how well the
GreenLITES sustainability process can be integrated into
CDOT transportation projects statewide.
FasTracks Station
Area and Highway 42
Corridor Integrated
Infrastructure
Implementation Plan,
City of Louisville
(Ongoing). Atkins is
working with the City
of Louisville to develop an integrated infrastructure
implementation plan that advances the public outreach
and facilitation, planning, and preliminary engineering
necessary to define the infrastructure needs for two
projects: the Louisville FasTracks Station Area and the
Highway 42 Corridor Plan. The selection of Atkins for this
project was a direct result of the decision making process
established for the Jefferson Street Alternatives Analysis
project.
Mason Street Corridor
FTA Small Starts
Submittal using
SUMMIT, City of Fort
Collins (Ongoing). LSA
is assisting the City in
operation, maintenance,
and application of their
TransCAD based travel
model. As a part of an on -call effort, LSA assisted in the
development of SUMMIT analysis for the Mason Street
Corridor FTA small starts submittal. The work effort
involved development of all the necessary model inputs,
model runs, model outputs, and final report with the
SUMMIT results. The technical effort was updated recently
to reflect a revised opening year and modifications to
corridor operations. Mason Street Corridor BRT received
an approval by FTA for $65.5 million dollars for the
implementation of the project.
Downtown Strategic
s Plan, City of Fort
r _ ' Collins (2004).
O&V conducted the
baseline transportation
•' conditions assessment
including the evaluation
_ of traffic circulation
and access, pedestrian
accommodation, bicycle facilities and multimodal transit
services. The furl was responsible for the integration
of existing and future downtown and campus land uses
with a multimodal transportation system that would not
only link those uses, but enhance the business viability of
downtown Fort Collins. Pedestrian and bicycle connections
and improved walkability were key elements of the
plan's future land use scenario and multimodal network.
O&V worked closely with the City in the evaluation
of pedestrian counts and use patterns downtown and
Transfort in the determination of improved transit routing,
business representatives, and stakeholder groups in the
development of transportation alternatives that carried the
support of all parties.

II. Project approach and understanding
The vision of the Transportation Master Plan is to become
a connected community through the integration of land
use and transportation, providing for mobility options,
developing a managed transportation system, investing in
quality transportation infrastructure, and increasing the
awareness of travel options. This vision is anticipated to
be accomplished through the evaluation of long range and
short-term multimodal transportation needs.
We understand that using the traditional linear
transportation planning process can typically result in a
plan with unknown costs and feasibility. Our approach
to the planning process and projects through the on -call
contract will use a collaborative, systems -based, iterative
process to coordinate land -use and transportation
planning that incorporates the three over -arching themes
of Plan Fort Collins —innovate, sustain, connect.
Today, the Atkins team stands ready to work with a
shared sense of purpose to help you achieve this vision.
The City requires a consultant capable of enhancing your
staffs capabilities by providing personnel who assist in
identifying, prioritizing, and delivering task orders. Our
team will deliver your program by:
• Providing on -demand, experienced professionals
with demonstrated ability to deliver a wide range of
transportation planning and design tasks

an informed evaluation of the current state of the practice
that improves project performance
• Understanding the need to stretch existing funds and
applying creative and sustainable practices effectively to
maximize your return on investment
• Working proactively and collaboratively with you to share
the responsibility of delivering your program

our team provides you with abundant staffing options
who are fully capable of tackling each assignment with
the focused attention necessary to ensure that the
transportation system fully connects the community.
Atkins has assembled a group of
recognized local experts prepared
to continue to keep the City at the
cutting edge of the transportation
industry by developing out -of -
the -box solutions. We recognize
the need to look for sustainable
solutions, such as our work

GreenLITES program, that not only
addresses today's issues but also
accounts for the needs of future
transportation system users —all in
an effort to stretch your funds to
their maximum limits. Our team
will be engaged with your staff from
developing ideas to presenting
those ideas to the general public.

whether it is based on seasonal conditions, funding
constraints, or elected official expectations. We make sure
our project managers understand this and clearly identify
expectations for project delivery. Based on project needs,
we will develop a plan to properly staff projects for on -
time completion and budget compliance. We have the staff
resources necessary to begin and complete projects on your
schedule. If unique work elements are required, we have the
depth of national technical experts, if needed, to ensure we
meet all of your expectations.
Quality: We pride ourselves on the quality of our
deliverables. Our work is not done until you are satisfied.
This means that our project managers must get buy -off on
all deliverables and key project milestones to make sure we
are meeting your expectations. This communication helps
us keep on track and provide the product that is expected.
Experience: Our recommendations to you are only as
good as our experience. We recognize that our staff must be
up-to-date on current planning and engineering trends and
technology. Training and experience are critical to be able
to successfully apply current practices and technology. We
will make sure our project managers have the staff with the
experience necessary to properly serve the City. Our staff is
well versed in industry trends and technology; that means
we can assign staff with relevant experience to all projects.

"It is not every day that one gets to work with a true expert in their field and it was my privilege, as project manager of the
streetcar feasibility study, to work with Barry Grossman and Lisa Bachman. The project and the environment were
demanding and challenging and they were there every step of the way promoting, positioning, communicating and adding
value to the project. The public involvement plan was well conceived and encompassed the detail required to truly
determine what the affected public wanted. You are aware of their exemplary qualifications and resume, but my
recommendation is based on performance in a true project atmosphere, and based on their performance, I would highly
recommend them to you for any proposed project requiring public relations."

It is essential to integrate
general stakeholder and
public interests into
appropriately balanced,
prioritized concerns
that can be agreed upon.
This creates a space for
transparent decision making
so that the final agreed upon
recommendation moves
forward.
Step one -identify
need: Our team's
key staff will work
collaboratively with you
to develop scopes for a
variety of projects. We
will engage your staff,
identify a need, and make
recommendations for
projects that will move
you toward program
delivery.
Step two -develop
scope of work: Our
identified project
manager will coordinate with your staff to further develop
a scope of work that achieves your goals and identifies the
deliverables that satisfy your needs. During this step, our
staff will incorporate innovative solutions that focus on
ways to improve overall efficiency in an effort to save time
and money.
Step three -identify key staff. Our approach reflects
Atkins' commitment to providing you with the most
appropriate experts based on the requirements of the
project. Carrie will work with you to identify staff that are
best suited and most available to accomplish the project.
Step four -negotiate task order: Our project
manager will use the developed scope of work and our
understanding of the project goals to establish a schedule,
budget, and refine the scope to ensure completion of work
within the time frame you require.
Step five -deliver project: Our project manager will
apply project controls previously discussed to perform
the work identified, within the established schedule and
budget.
B. Project
controls for desired results
Effective project controls are
essential to project success by
ensuring that we deliver quality
products on time and within
budget. We have in -place, proven
project controls to maintain costs,
quality, and schedule. Carrie will
ensure all Atkins projects achieve
this goal and will follow up on a
monthly basis with our teaming
partners to ensure they are also
meeting this goal on all on -going
task orders. Carrie will convey
our information regarding project
in vision. controls and overall contract
performance to Aaron Iverson on a
abmonthly basis or as requested.
1. Quality control
Our proven five -step approach to quality assurance/quality
control (QA/QC) has one single focus —to consistently
provide you with quality deliverables. Our ability to
provide products of the highest quality is enhanced by our
extensive understanding of procedures within the City, as
well as CDOT and federal procedures. We follow our QA/
QC process on all deliverables and submittals whether it is
a complete set of design plans and specifications or a single
paragraph technical memorandum.
2. Cost control
Realistic budgets must be established at the start, with the
process actually starting during the pre-scoping phase.
All task orders will be submitted through Carrie to ensure
the City has a single point of contact, and so she can
ensure all tasks are scoped and budgeted properly. Prior
to submitting the task order for approval, Carrie will first
work with the City to ensure the correct staff from our team
is assigned. Carrie and our project manager will agree on
the correct blend of senior/junior staff members, a final
scope of work, and a project budget so that we can provide
the most efficient project delivery. We know that the City
has a limited budget and our goal is to be responsible with
your funds and ensure you can make the most of those
funds.
3. Schedule control
Meeting the schedule is essential to project success.
During project development, Carrie will work with the City
to identify what the time frame should be to meet your
objectives. We will continue to work together to assign the
best and most available
staff to deliver the project
on time, including using
our subconsultants. Our
project managers will
immediately communicate
with the City and Carrie if
issues arise and will take
corrective measures to
ensure the project stays on
schedule.
Developing a
communications plan at
the beginning of the project
that includes how project
decisions will be made is
key to moving the project
forward on schedule.
III. Personnel and availability
Atkins provides the City with a full -service team that will
meet any potential need. Our staff has unmatched expertise
in each discipline and have extensive previous working
relationships. Carrie will be Atkins project director and
main point of contact. When a task order is identified,
Carrie will work with your project manager to determine
the task requirements and identify the most appropriate
and cost-effective project manager and support staff. Jeff
Kullman is the principal in charge. As the Denver office
transportation practice manager, Jeff will support Carrie
by making sure the resources proposed are available and
fully committed to your work assignments.
