The broad municipal experience we have gained as a result of growing Interwest over the past ten years has taught us that expertise and good design are only two of the elements that go into serving a municipality. Whether a project is large or small, simple or complex, our clients are looking for professionals who find solutions through commitment, innovative thinking, better communication, professional integrity and timely services. These are our operating philosophies and the qualities that make us different than the rest. Utilizing on-call engineering services provided by Interwest Consulting Group is an extremely valuable strategy for delivering efficient, cost-effective, high quality municipal services. Our familiarity with the City of Fort Collins, with City staff, codes and protocols, including LUCASS and CDOT standards, allows us to concentrate our efforts on design, delivery and management. Our track record of fiscal responsibility and design excellence precedes us in the 60+ projects Interwest has completed for the City over the past four years either through the On-Call services contract, sole source contracts, or through a competitive proposal process. Interwest understands the differences between the needs of the Engineering Department and those of Park Planning, Natural Resources and Operation Services. Light and Power have yet another set of requirements. We know from experience when a significant design effort is and is not necessary, and possess the flexibility to accommodate simultaneously a variety of demands from separate and distinct departments. This flexibility has saved the City a great deal of time and expense over the last four years. Given the fee limit on this contract, projects are typically of a modest size and multiple contracts are often active at any given time. With the team we have assembled, we feel comfortable with any size and scope of project that we can envision through this contract. Interwest has a high level of confidence in all of our subconsultants and will invite the City to utilize any of the services available through our subconsultants even if there is limited (or no) scope for Interwest. Motivation/Availability: Interwest is able and willing to limit private work as needed so as to ensure sufficient capacity required to excel on this contract, and to complete work in a timely fashion for the City of Fort Collins. • Commitment • Innovation • Communication Team Description Page 2 of 4 Interwest and the Interwest Team INTERWEST STAFF: Mike Oberlander, P.E., LEED-AP will lead all projects under this contract.

It allows the City to select a qualified consultant to provide services on smaller projects which are inefficient to bid through the City’s RFP process. Interwest Staff and Team Members have been involved on dozens of projects that have been awarded through this particular contract over the past 15 years and understand the expectations of the City when utilizing this contract and the flexibility required to design and administer projects of all shapes and sizes. There are two critical pieces for the successful implementation of this contract. The first key is having a team of professionals that can find cost effective and efficient solutions, document them clearly for review and construction, and bring the project to a successful conclusion. This ability is only earned with experience. The team assembled by Interwest is comprised of small firms with professionals that have been working in their fields and in Fort Collins for decades. Knowing local contacts personally, the style and expectations of senior City Staff, and the lay of the land automatically builds the efficiency needed to be successful with this contract. The Interwest Team is comprised solely of firms fitting the above description. We have worked individually and with each other on a multitude of projects. Below is a sampling of the Interwest Team’s common project experience. Team Experience and Capability Page 2 of 2 Team Experience and Capability The second component of this contract that should not be overlooked is the efficient management of the very small tasks and associated work orders. This contract is structured such that it is a single “job” with multiple client project managers. By approaching all of the general service projects together at a given time, we save both time and the City’s money with very limited administration time. Interwest has been successful in streamlining our processes in creating work orders and we are proud of the products we have been able to deliver to the City throughout the current contract. Interest prides itself on being streamlined, even down to work order setup, processing timecards and subconsultant billing, and invoicing the City. We have figured out how to get a project into the City’s system and administer a small project with extremely low overhead. Our performance since 2008 on this contract confirms our efficiency and commitment to all size and shape of project needs that the City has. The following is a summary of the Team’s contributions to the City through this contract over the past four years: Total Number of General Service Projects (2008 – 2012) 60 Total Billings to the City of Fort Collins $514,353 Total Interwest Consulting Group Billings $330,890 Total Subconsultant Billings $183,463 Average Project Billing $8,573 Small Projects with less that $10,000 Billing 42 Small Projects Average Billings $2,385 The purpose of the above discussion is not only to show that the limits set on this contract are very manageable, but most importantly, that the projects that are small in size and scope can be achieved with a design budget that is in line with the project’s needs and is not inflated because of internal administration and paperwork. Hardware and Software Resources: All Interwest Team members utilize current computer hardware and software advancements in order to provide the City with the most up-to-date and cost effective services available, and will provide all final drawings to the City in AutoCAD and / or Adobe PDF format. Specifically: • Interwest uses industry-standard AutoCAD software including, Land Desk and Civil 3D. ELB, FoxTuttle, Larsen, San, King, and Ripley also use AutoCAD, as well as the Microsoft Suite of programs including Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. • King Surveyors has over ten CAD stations utilizing AutoCAD 2009 accompanied with Land Development Desktop 2009, Trimble series receivers and Trimble V.R.S. • Ripley Design utilizes Adobe CS 5 (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator), Lightroom 4, Sketchup 8, Podium Renderer, E-on View10, Wacom Intuos 2, Cannon 5D Mark II in the preparation of cutting-edge presentations. • All printing and document preparation is available in-house, although the use of large scale printing operations is typically used when large quantities of printing are required.

Methodology and Scope Page 1 of 2 Methodology and Scope PROJECT METHODOLOGY All projects are unique in size, scope, budget and schedule; yet each project must be managed in a similar fashion in order for it to be a success. On projects large or small, straightforward or complex, Interwest employs a project approach based upon three guiding principles: • Early Data Gathering • Team Consensus Building • Communication. Data Gathering – Our experiences is that first 20 percent of the project budget and schedule often can determine the success or failure of the remaining 80 percent. Starting with good data is critical to this early effort. Often during the proposal stage of a project, Interwest will have a meeting with the City Project Manager, make a site visit and review available plans, maps and aerials to solidify the project scope, and be certain that the data collection phase of the project will be effective. Based on the knowledge gained prior to the proposal, it is possible to get the exact limits of topographic survey and utility locates. With sound background data in hand, Interwest is able to prepare preliminary design documents that can be utilized to order project specific pothole data to ensure we are designing based on the best available information. Early decisions made without the benefit of accurate base data can lead to changes, project delays, budget overruns and ultimately field change orders. We have found that if the data collection, conceptual and preliminary design steps are followed methodically, the construction document and final design phase of the project generally becomes a drafting and documentation exercise with few changes to the base design Consensus Building – Interwest involves the client and team members early in the process (even as early as the proposal phase) and fosters a teamwork-oriented process. We start with team meetings with the City Project Manager to fully understand the goals of the project and to outline budgets and schedules. When other consultants, property owners, and stakeholders are involved or affected, their input is sought. Only with buy-in from the project stakeholders will we see the desired results. We have found this key especially with projects that can cause conflict between City Departments. For example, any work impacting floodplains takes early and continual coordination in balancing the desires for the project and the requirements of the Stormwater staff. Communication – All forms of communication are important to the success of a project. Creating documents that are easily approvable, biddable, and constructible is one aspect, while clear communication of responsibilities between team members is another. The consensus building previously discussed is not possible unless communication is a priority. Mike Oberlander is known for his proactive communication style and is committed to keeping all stakeholders apprised of the project status on a regular basis. Methodology and Scope Page 2 of 2 Methodology and Scope AVAILABLE SCOPE FOR ON-CALL CIVIL ENGINEERING SERVICES Mike Oberlander will be the Project Manager for the Contract and, working closely with the City Project Managers, will oversee the day to day requirements of the contract. All design work will be prepared by Mike or with his direct oversight. Below is a partial list of anticipated tasks that Interwest can and will provide the City for the duration of this contract: • Roadway, intersection and roundabout design, plans, specifications, estimates and bidding assistance including turn lane additions, full reconstruction and rehabilitation projects • Quantity takeoffs and construction cost estimating • QA/QC checks of plans created by the City or other City Consultants • Railroad crossing plans • Neighborhood park design • Pedestrian underpass design • Recreation trail design (hard and soft trails) • Trailhead design • Pedestrian bridge abutment design • Parking lot design • Drainage Reports and Stormwater Management Plans • Storm sewer, water quality, and detention facility plans • City Floodplain Modeling and Reporting • City Floodplain Use Permit Documentation for design, construction and project closeout • Utility Plans for City and District Water and Sewer • Design of pedestrian improvements (sidewalks) • Development Plans for new or existing facilities in the City or Larimer County • Traffic signal design or drafting of City provided designs • Signal timing studies • Transportation studies • Bridges, retaining walls, drainage structures, and structural elements of Urban Design features • Topographic survey, construction survey, as built survey for floodplain areas, boundary survey and legal descriptions • Existing Right of Way and easement stakeout • Assist and provide displays for public information meetings and hearings • Street enhancement projects including landscape and irrigation design • Services related to NEPA Clearances for Federal / CDOT funded projects • Wetland delineation and mitigation plans • Utility Potholing • Materials testing and geotechnical engineering services Interwest will work with the City to accommodate whatever requirements are necessary because of a project’s funding source (CDOT, FTA, etc.) Interwest is comfortable with our ability to meet UDBE goals as may be required with our various available sub-consultants.
