(MWH) is pleased to submit our proposal for the Halligan Reservoir Enlargement Project. We have prepared our proposal in conformity with Request for Proposal 7587 Engineering Services for the Halligan Reservoir Enlargement Project and pertinent addenda. We have prepared our proposal to demonstrate the following benefits of our team and experience: • We provide the same team that has worked with the City of Fort Collins on the Halligan Enlargement Project since 2007. • We bring recent experience with environmental permitting of large water storage and conveyance projects in Colorado. • We offer a full -service team of design and construction management professionals with current experience on large dam, conveyance and water treatment projects, including the Halligan Reservoir Enlargement preliminary design. • We have a long, successful history of performing engineering and other projects for the City of Fort Collins, and highly value our business partnership. Understanding of the Project Environmental Permitting MWH has an excellent understanding of the technical and non -technical aspects of the Halligan Reservoir Enlargement Project as a result of working with the City of Fort Collins (City) since 2007 on various aspects of the Halligan -Seaman Water Management Project (HSWMP). MWH was selected by the City to provide design services for the Halligan Reservoir enlargement at the outset of the Environmental Impact Study (EIS) required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). As supplemental work under the initial contract, MWH provided permitting support from 2007 to present with the rest of the City's HWSMP environmental permitting team. Project team consistency and understanding of the issues are keys to ensuring our project success. Past and ongoing work by MWH on the Halligan Reservoir Enlargement Project includes: • Permitting strategy support • Draft EIS document review • Water treatment requirements for Plains storage or lower Poudre River diversion alternatives • HSWMP EIS alternative definitions (gravel lakes, reservoir enlargements, pipelines, pump stations) • Preliminary design and cost estimate for Halligan Reservoir enlargement (2 sizes) The HSWMP EIS is a combined permitting effort for the Halligan Reservoir Enlargement Project for the City of Fort Collins and North Poudre Irrigation Company (NPIC), and the Seaman Reservoir Enlargement Project for the City of Greeley. The Corps of Engineers is the Lead Federal Agency for NEPA permitting, and the Corps has retained a separate Third Party Consultant to prepare the EIS. MWH is supporting Fort Collins and NPIC in the HSWMP EIS in the role of engineering support. In this role MWH has worked closely with Fort Collins staff, and partnered with Fort Collins' other consultants (Ayres Associates and attorney Gene Riordan for environmental support), Greeley and its consultant, the Corps of Engineers, and the Third Party Consultants. MWH PROPOSAL S CRY OF FORT COLLINS 11 HALLIGAN RESERVOIR 11 AN 2014 a SECTION S 11 CONSULTANT INFORMATION AND EXPERIENCE MWH's focus has been primarily on permitting strategy consulting and evaluation of alternatives. Most recently, MWH has assisted the City and NPIC with definition of EIS alternatives and engineering analyses of alternative components (e.g., gravel lakes, pipelines, pump stations, reservoir enlargements). MWH is currently in the middle of that alternative description work at this time.

Halligan Dam is a cyclopean masonry, gravity arch structure that was constructed in a narrow canyon on the North Fork of the Cache La Poudre River by the NPIC in 1909 - 1910. The dam, located about 25 miles northwest of Fort Collins, impounds a reservoir of 6,400 acre-feet. It has provided reliable storage for many years. In 1984, a reconnaissance -level study was done for NPIC to raise the existing dam or construct a new dam downstream, utilizing the emerging technology of roller compacted concrete (RCC) construction. In 1989 and 2002, the Reservoir Enlargement concept was developed to the feasibility level. Terry Arnold, our Project Technical Lead for Phases II and III, was involved in the 1989 Feasibility Study for raising Halligan Dam. Dam Sites Types of Dams Reservoir Sizes • Present site • Concrete arch • 15,000 ac-ft • Middle Site • RCC gravity • 25,000 ac-ft • Lower Site • Concrete faced rockfill • 40,000 ac-ft • Zoned embankment A total of 26 alternatives were studied, including raising the existing dam. The study concluded that RCC dam alternatives were technically suitable for the site and more economical than other alternatives. The recommended alternative was a RCC gravity dam at the middle site with a storage capacity up to 40,000 acre-feet. MWN PROPOSAL 0 CITY OF FORT COLLINS P HALLIGAN RESERVOIR II JAN 2014 ® SECTION B 0 CONSULTANT INFORMATION AND EXPERIENCE As part of the 2007 Halligan Enlargement Contract, MWH prepared feasibility level designs and opinions of probable construction cost for the 15,000, 25,000 and 40.000 ac-ft enlargement alternatives. In 2012, when the EIS hydrologic modeling process developed preliminary reservoir sizes appropriate for meeting the HSWMP Purpose and Need, MWH updated feasibility designs and opinions of probable construction cost for 15,000, 19,550 and 22,500 ac-ft enlargements. Each alternative was a RCC concrete gravity dam at the middle site. As a result of this extensive previous and ongoing work for Fort Collins and NPIC on the HSWMP, MWH has gained an excellent understanding of the following project issues and components. • The strategy of the City, NPIC and Greeley in managing the HSWMP EIS process and working with the Corps of Engineers and the Third Party EIS Consultant. • Expectations of the Corps of Engineers for EIS products to be prepared by the Applicants, including alternative descriptions and designs. • Current status of the EIS alternative definition and description process, including remaining work that must be completed by February 2014. • Issues associated with designing and constructing Halligan Reservoir enlargements of different sizes. Because of this extensive past and ongoing work on the HSWMP EIS, the previous preliminary design of Halligan Reservoir enlargement, and close working relationships with the City and HSWMP team members. MWH is uniquely qualified to continue providing engineering services for the Halligan Reservoir Enlargement Project.

MWH's approach to project management is aligned with �s�w s•wr.e the Project Management Institute (PMI) Project Management Body �"�'' of Knowledge. MWH has developed and maintains a sophisticated and proven Figure 4: MWH's "Manage the Project" project management system that our staff must utilize on all program is a rigorous, globally -applied projects. MWH's "Manage the Project" program is a rigorous, project management framework. globally -applied project management framework. Major components of Manage the Project include matching the right person to the right job, defining roles and responsibilities for project leadership within the MWH Team, including subconsultants, applying standard tools for constantly tracking project cost, schedule and project scope, and ensuring clear understanding of the project objectives across the MWH Team. Key elements of the Manage the Project process include the following: • Project Managers are experienced and excel at managing the types of project for which they are responsible. • Accountability in project management is assigned and expected for all individuals involved in delivering any project. • Consistent project management practices are used to facilitate common approaches and uniform outcomes. • Standard project management tools are used to facilitate common approaches and uniform outcomes. Project Management Responsibilities At MWH all project team members have a responsibility for assuring project success. At MWH, the Project Manager is responsible for supervising the entire project and managing the contract, while the Project Technical Lead is responsible for developing the technical scope, overseeing the technical work, and assuring project quality. However, responsibility for project management rests primarily with our Project Manager and Project Technical Leads for Phase I and Phases II/III — Chip Paulson, Enrique Triana and Terry Arnold. They will be responsible for "planning the work and working the plan," tracking project performance versus cost and schedule on at least a monthly basis, and assuring professional and high quality deliverables. They will break their respective portions of the scope into manageable activities within a work breakdown structure (WBS), and the WBS activities will be sequenced and scheduled to meet deadlines and to use resources most efficiently. Our PMI certified Project MWH PROPOSAL 17 CRY OF FORT COLLINS It RALLIGAN RESERVOIR U AN 2014 SECTION S 11 CONSULTANT INFORMATION AND EXPERIENCE Management Professional (PMP) Lisa Fardal will work with the project managers to prepare a project schedule in Primavera P6 (MWH standard). P6 allows the development of a time -based budget of costs to be incurred versus time elapsed. At the inception of Phase II — Design, Mr. Arnold will prepare a Project Execution Plan including detailed scope development, schedule, pricing, communication protocols, deliverables, administration, reporting, and a QA/QC plan specific and appropriate for each task. MWH will use web -based tools for the project team to communicate and manage data and deliverables on the project. Project Wise allows for on-line, real-time reviews of documents. MWH has a Project Wise site set up for access by Fort Collins, and has used it to collaborate with City staff on past projects. The most important evidence of MWH's corporate culture of successful project management is repeat business from satisfied clients. MWH has worked almost continuously for Fort Collins for over two decades, and is a trusted advisor on wet infrastructure projects. MWH PROPOSAL 18 CITY OF FORT COLLINS II HALLIGAN RESERVOIR 11 JAN 2014 SECTION E 11 CONSULTANT INFORMATION AND EXPERIENCE B.4 — Availability of Project Personnel The MWH personnel assigned to the proposed project team shown in Section B.2 were selected keeping in mind other current and anticipated project commitments. Based on the current level of assigned workload, all key project team members will have availability to serve in the roles described in Section B.2. In particular, key Phase I staff are already working on the HSWMP EIS engineering support tasks and thus will continue in those assignments without interruption. Other discipline experts who may be needed as part of Phase I (e.g., water treatment expertise) will not have large time commitments on the project and can provide the necessary input when requested. As you know, the timing for Phases II and III is unknown at present and is difficult to predict. The key design team members have been selected based on their expertise and anticipated availability in about two years. Should project timing change, other resources may need to be assigned to the project. The required disciplines for the Halligan Reservoir Enlargement Project represent MWH's core business as a wet infrastructure company, and thus we have a "deep bench" of experts in the areas required for this project. Our Colorado offices are home to over 600 employees, providing an extensive team of other resources to draw from if needed. Any necessary changes would be subject to approval from the City. All key project team members are located in MWH's Denver and Fort Collins offices. As a result, our proposed Project Manager and Phase I and Phase II/III Project Technical Leads have strong influence over the workloads of these individuals, and can assure that the right resources are made available to this project. One of our core project management principles is "right person, right job," and MWH management stresses the importance of staffing each project with the right team to meet the client's needs and to assure our mutual success. Fort Collins is a long-standing, valued client to our Colorado business, one for which we have been performing projects continually since the 1980s. We have a corporate commitment to assuring that we staff all projects for Fort Collins with our best available team members to assure that our business partnership remains a strong asset both to the City and to us. M HPROPOSAL 19 CITY OF FORT COLLINS II HALLIGAN RESERVOIR 0JAN 2014 SECTION B It CONSULTANT INFORMATION AND EXPERIENCE W B.5 — Engineering Knowledge and Experience This section presents an overview of MWH's corporate experience and our proposed project team's personal knowledge in the engineering disciplines that could be needed for analysis of HSWMP EIS alternatives and design of the selected alternative.

During Phase I, the primary contact will be Chip Paulson with Enrique Triana serving in a close support role. Mr. Paulson and Mr. Triana will continue to attend HWSMP Partner Meetings either in person or by phone, as directed by the City. In addition, status meetings will be held as needed with the City and other HSWMP partners to review alternative definitions and supporting engineering analyses. Draft EIS support documents will be prepared collaboratively between the City and MWH and shared for review and comment. A separate Communication Plan will be prepared as part of the Project Execution Plan for Phases II and III, depending on the nature and technical requirements of the project(s) to be designed and constructed. This Plan will outline reporting responsibilities between the City's project implementation team and the MWH team. A key element of the plan will be to establish the MWH Project Technical Lead for Phases II and III — Terry Arnold — as a key point of contact. With the potential for many design elements to be proceeding in parallel (e.g., dam raise design, geotechnical explorations, and spillway design hydrology), having a single MWH point of contact for the City will be important to track technical issues as well as budget and schedule performance. Based on the characteristics of the proposed action and the alternatives currently being considered in the EIS, MWH will be able to perform all design related tasks using in-house staff, with the exception of certain field services (surveying and geotechnical exploration). Having all engineering and design services performed in-house will simplify internal communications and avoid inefficiencies in working with subcontractors for key tasks. Document sharing during development and review of design plans and specifications will be an important part of the Phase 11/III communications plan. MWH has established a Project Wise web -based document sharing platform for Fort Collins and has used it successfully on past projects. This existing resource will be available for use by the Halligan Reservoir Enlargement project team. Continuous Client Support Our ability to communicate effectively on projects for Fort Collins is demonstrated by the many projects we have completed for the City. MWH and the City of Fort Collins have had a long history of working together that started in the late 1980's through some planning work at the wastewater reclamation facility. It grew into multiple design projects and the preliminary phases of the City's Alternative Product Delivery System (APDS). Since this first date the projects have spanned topics including planning, permitting, design, pilot testing, construction management, estimating, asset management, greenhouse gas accounting, and climate adaptation planning. Some of the larger projects include: • 1991 Master Plan and updates in 1993, 1996, 1999, 2007, 2009, and 2012 • 1992 Drake Water Reclamation Facility Expansion (DWRF) • 1996 Mulberry Water Reclamation Facility Improvements • 1999 Solids Handling Improvements at Meadow Springs Ranch • 2006 and 2008 DWRF Odor Control Improvements • 2011 Drake North Process Trains Improvements • 2012 Supplemental Carbon Pilot Tests • 2013 DWRF SPT Biological Nutrient Removal Improvements MWH PROPOSAL 36 CRY OF FORT COLLINS II HALLIGAN RESERVOIR 9JAN 2014 SECTION B ll CONSULTANT • 22 years of On -Call Replacement Project Design and Construction Management Services • Water Reclamation Facilities Greenhouse Gas Inventories • Climate Adaptation Planning • Assistance with the Development of a Utility -Wide Asset Management Program • EIS Permitting Support for the Halligan Reservoir Enlargement Project (2007-present) MWH has worked side by side with the City of Fort Collins for over 25 years and we have a good understanding of how the City operates and how to make projects successful.

Introduction In 2007 MWH was retained by the City to design the proposed enlargement of Halligan Reservoir and provide engineering support to the City during preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Halligan -Seaman Water Management Project. Under its 2007 contract MWH prepared Halligan Dam raise cost estimates for different reservoir enlargement sizes; analyzed and provided comments on the 3PC Purpose and Need report; conducted a technical assessment of water quality and treatment issues associated with EIS alternatives that would use water derived from the lower Poudre River system downstream of Fort Collins; commented on the alternative development process and modeling studies performed by the 3PC; and attended HSWMP and EIS team meetings during the course of over 6 years. The Corps of Engineers (COE) is now allowing the HSWMP applicants to conduct engineering studies to determine the facility requirements, layouts and costs of EIS alternatives developed by the 3PC. The applicants have accepted this responsibility to help manage schedule and cost of this portion of the EIS process. The 3PC identified five alternatives each for the City and for North Poudre Irrigation Company (NPIC), including the preferred alternative (proposed action) for each entity. MWH worked closely with the City on the analysis of the alternatives information provided and the pre - feasibility assessment of the 3PC EIS Alternatives. The current alternatives identified for Fort Collins and NPIC include enlargements of existing reservoirs; development of new gravel pit storage; use of storage in existing agricultural reservoirs; participation in other proposed regional storage projects; conveyance to the existing Fort Collins water treatment plant and NPIC service areas; and pretreatment as needed to deliver water supplies with a quality consistent with current source water quality. The revised alternative definitions are being submitted to the COE for review and approval prior to finalizing the selection of alternatives to be analyzed in the EIS and preparing more complete alternative descriptions and analyses. The alternative definition includes facility requirements, layouts and operations with a description of the elements retained and removed from the original alternatives. All the alternative redefinitions are expected to be submitted to the COE by February 28, 2014 and MWH shall provide pre -engineering and feasibility analysis to support this process under the current contract. In the following discussion of project tasks, work for the City and NPIC is discussed together. MWH recognizes that the City and NPIC will likely be funding their portions of the work separately, although the MWH contract will be with the City of Fort Collins. Note: MWH has omitted specific alternative details from this discussion that are pre -decisional. MWH PROPOSAL 38 CRY OF FORT COLLINS II HALLIGAN RESERVOIR 11 JAN 20U ,�. �' ;�;�� r"i';�a"f _'''.�.

SECTION C 11 SCOPE OF SERVICES Task 1— Finalizing Alternative Development Upon approval of the alternative redefinition by the COE, MWH shall finalize the alternative development work based on the preliminary engineering analyses performed for the alternative definitions. To complete this task efficiently, MWH shall leverage its experience, previous analyses, data compiled and institutional knowledge acquired over the alternative redefinition process. The Halligan Reservoir Enlargement alternatives for each entity have already been defined by the applicants and the 3PC, so alternative definitions are not part of this scope of work. 1.1 After the COE and 3PC review the redefined alternatives, MWH shall analyze the feasibility of any proposed adjustments and prepare information to adopt or respond to the alternative review comments. Only two of the Fort Collins alternatives have significant changes from the originally proposed alternatives, so for budgeting purposes, it is assumed that up to 60 hours would be required for coordinating with the applicants and providing written response to comments to the seven EIS Alternatives. 1.2 If no changes to the redefined alternatives are required by the COE, it is estimated that 70 percent of the engineering analyses are already prepared; however to accommodate further refinement of the alternatives based on comments and discussions with COE, 50 percent of the engineering analyses are assumed to be already completed for this scope of work. MWH shall finalize the feasibility analysis and layouts, including facilities and infrastructure, with the results from the final modeling that reflects the proposed operation to fulfill the Purpose and Need. Analyses in this task could include analyses of gravel pit storage, conveyance systems, reservoir enlargements, hydraulic structures and water treatment facilities. Specifically: • For new or enlarged dams: dam cross section, footprint, and construction methods; spillway size and location; outlet works size and location; probable borrow areas; right-of-way requirements (most of this information has been provided by the 3PC but must be verified) • For new gravel lake storage facilities: capacity, footprint, berms, area -capacity curves and operating principles • For conveyance structures: approximate pipeline size; one feasible pipeline alignment corridor; pump station capacity; pump station location and footprint; pump station energy requirements; canal enlargement methods and footprints • For water treatment plants: treatment plant capacity; treatment processes; conceptual treatment plant location and footprint; residual disposal quantities, methods and locations; treatment plant energy requirements • For aquifer storage: method of recharge (injection wells or spreading basins); location and footprint of typical spreading basins; number and typical footprint of injection wells; number and typical footprint of production wells; energy requirements for injection and production wells • For general features: need for permanent access roads and construction roads; location and size of appurtenances that could have environmental effects; location and footprint of new or improved river diversion structures MWH PROPOSAL 39 CRY OF FORT COLLINS 11 HNLLIGAN RESERVOIR/I AN 2014 ® SECTION C 11 SCOPE OF SERVICES 1.3 MWH shall support the development of alternative description material for the EIS report, providing for each alternative an EIS -level description of the alternative and the corresponding maps and exhibits. MWH will coordinate with the applicants to generate information that can be easily incorporated in the EIS and presented to COE and 3PC. For budgeting purposes, this task includes one presentation of alternatives and two iterations for addressing comments on the written material. 1.4 MWH shall update the current pre -feasibility cost estimates to ACEE Class V opinions of probable construction costs (conceptual level) for the final alternatives. Construction quantities will be based on the feasibility level designs prepared in Task 1.2. MWH shall prepare estimates of annual operation and maintenance costs for each of the EIS Alternatives based on a percentage of construction cost or other similar metric. MWH will prepare a Technical Memorandum for the applicants with the summary of the cost analysis for the EIS alternatives, including summary tables with itemized assumed costs. The Client acknowledges that MWH has no control over costs of labor, materials, competitive bidding environments and procedures, unidentified field conditions, financial and/or market conditions, or other factors likely to affect the Opinion of Probable Construction Cost of this project, all of which are and will unavoidably remain in a state of change, especially in light of the high volatility of the market attributable to Acts of God and other market events beyond the control of the parties. The Client further acknowledges that this is a "snapshot in time" and that the reliability of this Opinion of Probable Construction Cost will inherently degrade over time. The Client agrees that MWH cannot and does not make any warranty, promise, guarantee, or representation, either express or implied, that proposals, bids, project construction costs, or cost of operation or maintenance will not vary substantially from MWH's good faith Class V Opinion of Probable Construction Cost or Schedule. Task 2 — Hydrologic Modeling Support The applicants plan to model the redefined alternatives after they have been approved by the COE. The Common Technical Platform (CTP) modeling system includes several MODSIM and spreadsheet models, and tools that need to be run in sequence iteratively. The modeling of the final alternatives will require careful manipulation of the MODSIM base models' input data, settings and simulation constructs. MWH shall continue to work as an extension of the City and NPIC staff to support the alternative modeling based on the needs identified by the applicants. 2.1. MWH shall provide general technical support for the HSWMP modeling team in modeling the final alternatives. Under this task, MWH could provide the following tasks: • General MODSIM modeling support, including run customization using PERL or .NET languages. For example, MODSIM customization could be used to automate setting up and executing the EIS alternative models, trying to minimize processing errors during manual data and settings manipulation. • Pre-processing and post -processing tool development to prepare input data for the MODSIM models, transfer data between models and summarize output for the EIS NNJH PROPOSAL 40 CITY OF FORT COLLINS 11 HALLIOAN RESERVOIR 11 J N M14 lJ SECTION C 11 SCOPE OF SERVICES alternative runs. These tools could include .NET -based data management systems and Tableau' Visualization Dashboards. • Development of simulation support tools to streamline the iterative processes between the different models of the CTP modeling system. For example, tools could automate importing time series in the MODSIM interface in preparation of the MODSIM network for next steps of the simulation iterative process. For budgeting purposes, 60 hours of modeling support are included in the current scope of work under this task. 2.2. Based on the needs identified by the HSWMP modeling team, MWH shall support model input data preparation, including hydrologic and operational time series, execution of the models and results interpretation and analysis of the final alternatives modeling. MWH could perform the following tasks: • Review EIS alternative models prepared by the applicants and provide assistance in designing and implementing MODSIM modeling techniques for the EIS alternative simulation. • Prepare and execute models for EIS alternatives under the direction and in coordination with the City and NPIC staff. • Use visual dashboards, MS -Access or MS -Excel to interpret, analyze, validate and present modeling results. For budgeting purposes, 60 hours of data preparation and interpretation are included in the current scope of work under this task. Task 3 — EIS Review MWH shall continue to provide technical support to the applicants in reviewing and providing comments on the numerous technical reports generated during the development of the EIS. 3.1. MWH shall review selected EIS technical reports provided by COE to the applicants, as directed by the City. MWH shall discuss with the City and NPIC problems, concerns, issues and inaccuracies related to engineering feasibility, infrastructure requirements and cost estimating identified in the reports. In coordination with the City and NPIC MWH shall prepare written comments and a suggested course of action. Although reviewing time will depend on the size of the reports, for budgeting purposes, 45 hours are assumed for this task, assuming 3 reports to be reviewed with an average of 15 hours per report. 3.2. MWH shall provide technical support for reviewing the preliminary draft and draft EIS documents with emphasis on engineering feasibility, infrastructure requirements and cost estimating. For budgeting purposes, it is assumed that 88 hours will be required to perform this task for the preliminary draft and draft versions of the EIS.

During the public comment process, MWH shall support the applicants in reviewing and providing input to the COE for responses on areas of engineering feasibility, infrastructure requirements and cost estimating. The level of effort to complete this task will depend of the number and type of public comments. It is assumed that 40 hours will be required to complete this task. Task 4 — On -Call Support MWH shall continue to provide engineering, technical and strategic support as needed to assist the applicant in the NEPA/404 permitting process and in obtaining other state and county permits. 4.1. During the development of the alternatives, MWH shall attend informal project coordination meetings with the City and NPIC staff and their consultants to review project progress and discuss development of the EIS alternatives approximately once every two weeks for six months from the start of the contract. Using these meetings, MWH shall coordinate closely with the City's EIS support consultant to assure that the level of detail of the alternatives analysis and documentation is appropriate for the EIS. For Phase I, attendance at these meetings is planned for the Project Technical Lead, based in Fort Collins, with attendance of the Project Manager once a month and other key personnel once every two months. 4.2. MWH shall attend selected meetings of the HSWMP EIS team to provide progress reports and to coordinate alternative development activities with the rest of the team. Based on the frequency of HSWMP EIS team meetings over the past year, it is assumed that either the Project Manager or the Project Technical Lead will attend an average of one HSWMP team meeting every two months, or not more than a total of 12 meetings in two years for this scope of work. 4.3. MWH shall assist the applicants with permitting support tasks as requested. These could include preparation of presentations, reports and recommendations. For budgeting purposes 40 hours are assumed to perform this task. 4.4. MWH shall coordinate alternative development with Greeley's engineering consultant (URS) who is performing similar work on the EIS alternatives for Greeley. It is assumed that the majority of this coordination will occur through email and conference calls, and that coordination meetings can be combined with the meetings described in subtasks 4.1 and 4.2. Two 3-hour independent meetings with Greeley's consultant are budgeted in this scope of work.

Sustainability involves a delicate overlay of two critical needs. The first is anticipating future challenges, analyzing how those challenges will affect a business, organization, city or country, and translating them into opportunities for strategic growth. The second is the need to meet these challenges and opportunities in a manner that sustains our natural resources such that they will also benefit future generations. Typically solutions along this sustainability nexus involve a mix of innovative solutions, modern business models, and a back -to -fundamentals mindset. At MWH, our employees are vested in this work in both their personal and professional lives, assisting our clients with projects that benefit the communities in which we live. A common way in which sustainability is translated to projects and client issues is through the use of the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) approach of considering financial, environmental and social impacts. We understand the importance of that approach to the City of Fort Collins, and have applied quantitative and qualitative TBL techniques to projects for the City in the past. One of our firm's TBL experts, Robyn McGuckin, has worked with the City on its climate adaptation plan and other projects involving sustainable solutions. Our Commitment to Creating a Sustainable Future — Climate Change In its endeavor to build a better world, MWH has committed and invested in numerous efforts to help its communities, its clients, and MWH effectively achieve sustainability. These efforts, as a whole, are formally structured around MWH's Climate Change Commitment. Inspired in part by our invitation to participate in the Clinton Global Initiative, MWH developed a multi -year, multi -faceted Climate Change Commitment aimed at combating climate change and raising awareness of its causes and effects. MWH also became a member of The Climate Group and the US EPA Climate Leaders. The MWH Climate Change Commitment has three primary components: • Engage and influence clients on proactive measures that can help them manage their greenhouse gas emissions. MWH has conducted climate change and sustainability workshops and hosts quarterly climate change conference calls for clients with similar issues and concerns of climate change and adaptation. Reduce the impacts of our business on greenhouse gas emissions. MWH has set a goal of reducing our carbon emissions by 15 percent, and has made a $1.5 million investment in video conferencing capabilities to reduce travel. Other initiatives including office recycling, flexible commute schedules, and financial incentives for employees to use public transportation. • Leave a lasting legacy in the communities in which we live and work by developing an educational program for middle school -aged children. MWH has reached over 1700 students to date with information about the water cycle, energy use, climate change, and sustainability in locales including Abu Dhabi, Pasadena, Christchurch, Cardiff, Broomfield, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Jordan, San Diego, Singapore, Mayfield, Surrey, and Seattle. MWH PROPOSAL 48 C"OF FORT COLLINS It HALLIGAN RESERVOIR 11 NN ID I< LJ Sustainability Standards — LEED and Envision MWH has demonstrated a long-term commitment to incorporating principles of sustainability and Triple Bottom Line objectives into its design projects. MWH is a charter member of the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure and the Zofnass Program for Sustainable Infrastructure, a collaboration between engineering firms and the Harvard Graduate School of Design to research, develop and promote methods, processes and tools that define and quantify sustainability for cities and infrastructure. SECTION F 11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INSTITUTE FOR SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE I S I Figure 10: MWH is proud to be a Charter Member of the Zofnass Program for Sustainable Infrastructure, as well as the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure. MWH will consider use of two sustainability systems in our work for Fort Collins. The LEED Green Building system and tools will be used for any occupied structures which Fort Collins designates for this purpose. However, the challenge of applying LEED standards is that they are designed for occupied structures, such as office buildings, and the application of LEED to water and wastewater structures is often inappropriate. To bridge this gap MWH recommends using the Envision Sustainable Infrastructure Rating System, which is complimentary to LEED, but is designed for application to infrastructure projects, such as treatment facilities, pipelines, and other horizontal infrastructure. The Envision rating system can be used during all phases of a project, from planning to completion. The Envision Sustainable Infrastructure Rating System is complimentary to LEED, and fills the gap in application to infrastructure projects, such as treatment facilities, pipelines, and other horizontal infrastructure. The rating system can be used during all phases of a project, from planning to completion. The rating system is a collection of best practices that can be applied across a full range of possibilities from idea generation, to full project certification. Over 100 US municipalities have used the standard, and many major cities such as New York and Los Angeles are using it as a matter of course for evaluating all new projects. We have several people accredited with Envision, and are working on the first ever pump station for Envision certification. Figure 11: MWH designed the LEED Gold certified Corona Del Mar WTP in Goleta, CA, where 40% of the credits were accomplished with no additional design or construction costs. The MWH team will work with Fort Collins to determine the most effective way to incorporate the Envision system in infrastructure projects. Examples of how the system can be applied include: Project Planning: During the planning phase, MWH will identify areas of a project where sustainable practices are already planned, and additional areas where the project might be enhanced. Envision's Self Assessment Checklist allows a quick review of the key areas of Quality of Life, Resource Use, the Natural World, Climate and Risk, and Sustainability Leadership. The Envision'M system is also tremendously helpful when comparing project alternatives, for instance to upgrade an existing facility, or to build new from the ground up. MWH PROPOSAL 49 CITY OF FORT COLLINS 11 HALLIGAN RESERVOIR 11 JAN"1L 0 SECTION F Project Design: At key points during the design phase, MWH will perform sustainability reviews. These would be incorporated into the regular design review schedule, but would be enhanced with checks against the Envision TM system to ensure that the project design continues to meet the sustainability goals originally planned, and to identify new opportunities to improve the project design. Project Certification: The Envision TN' rating system is available for use as a collection of best practices and guidelines, but Fort Collins may also choose to obtain recognition for its success by applying for a project award. Awards are given at the Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum level, as well as Special Recognition awards if a project shows achievement in one or more categories, but does not qualify at the Bronze Level. MWH has Certified Sustainability Professionals (ENV sps), who can assist Fort Collins through the entire application process.

(MWH) is pleased to submit our proposal for the Halligan Reservoir Enlargement Project. We have prepared our proposal in conformity with Request for Proposal 7587 Engineering Services for the Halligan Reservoir Enlargement Project and pertinent addenda. Our proposal demonstrates the following benefits of our team and experience: Consistent Project Team. We provide the same team that has worked with the City of Fort Collins on the Halligan Enlargement Project since 2007. This will allow us to seamlessly continue completing EIS tasks (Phase 1) and transition into design and construction of the permitted infrastructure (Phases II and III) without the time or cost associated with a learning curve or start- up period. Successful Water Project Permitting. We bring recent experience with environmental permitting of large water storage and conveyance projects in Colorado. This will allow us to perform EIS tasks for alternative development and analysis efficiently and with an understanding of the needs of the permitting agencies and their consultants to minimize review time and avoid lengthy rework. • Experience with Halligan Design. We offer a full -service team of design and construction management professionals with current experience on large dam, conveyance and water treatment projects, including the Halligan Reservoir Enlargement preliminary design. Our past experience on Halligan Dam will minimize the time and cost required to develop design plans and specifications. Partnership with Fort Collins. We have a long, successful history of performing engineering and other projects for the City of Fort Collins. We highly value our business partnership with the City and are committed to providing the same top quality service as we have in the past.
