Re: Statement of Proposal
7638 Parking Structures Specifications and Drawings
Dear Mike, John and Selection Committee Members:
A little over a year ago, Martin/Martin, Inc. submitted our qualifications to the City of Fort Collins for the structural
conditions assessment of the Civic Center and Old Town Parking Structures. We have enjoyed working with the City on
that project and hope that the City feels the same. We would like to stress that we are highly motivated to continue
our partnership with the City in providing safe and well maintained parking facilities to the people of Fort Collins, as we
submit our qualifications and fees for the next phase of that work.
We can honestly state that, at present, no other engineering firm knows the amount that we know about your parking
garages. Not only have we performed the 2013 condition assessments and precast analysis calculations, but we
designed the emergency repairs to the top surface of the Civic Center garage and designed the new exit onto the alley
at the southeast corner of the Old Town garage.
If you select Martin/Martin for this work, you not only get the trust, proactive communication, coordination,
innovation and long‐term solutions we have shown you in the previous 12 months, but also the project benefits and
cost savings incurred by hiring the same team to continue your parking garage work.
We are aware of your current budgetary needs and feel we have addressed your concerns thoughtfully, coming up with
the best plan for moving forward. Our approach section details work that should be completed first based on urgency
and cost, and then further details future projects once resources are ready. If you have questions about our fees or
would like us to explain or further adjust any items included as part of this package, please contact me. Again, we are
very excited to continue our partnership with the City. I can be reached at 303.431.6100 x523, on my cell at 303‐324‐
8339 or by email at bbromiel@martinmartin.com.
Finally, we would like to state that we approach this proposal humbly, knowing you can choose any other engineering
firm to continue this project. Our hope is that the experience included in our proposal, our references from similar
work, and our previous experience working with the City of Fort Collins, would all sway you to again select
Martin/Martin, Inc.
Respectfully submitted,
Ben Bromiel, PE John Lund, PE

SECTION 1 – PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
Statement of Proposal to the City of Fort Collins
7638 PARKING STRUCTURES SPECIFICATIONS & DRAWINGS
2
Project Understanding
Through our involvement with several projects at both parking
garages during 2013, we developed a thorough understanding of
the existing structural systems and current conditions of both
garages. We are intimately aware of the structural repairs needed
and waterproofing efforts recommended in the two assessment
reports produced last year, as well as the calculations performed to
determine the actual capacities of some of the more critically
damaged areas on each garage.
The Martin/Martin Investigations Group specializes in existing
structures, and understands the challenges that property owners
face trying to maintaining existing structures within the Rocky
Mountain climate. We also understand the City’s desire to balance
the need to protect their assets at the same time staying financially
responsible within the previously allocated budget.
Within our investigations group, we have specialized experience in
parking garage assessment, repair, and maintenance, as well as the
waterproofing of existing structures. Ben Bromiel leads our parking
garage group while Kevin Dunham is in charge of the waterproofing
division. 100% of their clients are trying to repair, protect, or
maintain an existing structure as effectively as possible within a
given budget. We work hard to maximize the benefit gained from
the dollars spent for all of our clients and have successfully
managed numerous projects similar to the Fort Collins parking
garages year after year. We will provide the City of Fort Collins
with the same great service necessary to meet the City’s needs.
Our understanding of the wear and tear placed on parking garages in Colorado comes from and extensive amount of
experience fixing them. Some recent example projects include:
Denver Performing Arts Center Garage Waterproofing
Cherry Creek Place III Parking Garage Investigation/Repair
Centerpoint II Garage Assessment
Terrace Building Parking Garage Evaluation and Repairs

SECTION 2 – APPROACH
Statement of Proposal to the City of Fort Collins
7638 PARKING STRUCTURES SPECIFICATIONS & DRAWINGS

Approach
We know time is of the essence and the City of Fort Collins desires
to secure a contractor as soon as possible to perform the
temperature sensitive repairs and waterproofing efforts this year.
Therefore, our initial efforts will focus on producing Construction
Documents to be issued to contractors for bidding. The
Construction Documents will only include the scope of work
anticipated to be completed this calendar year in attempt to save
time and consulting fees.
Once the initial Construction Document phase is complete, we will
move onto the next phases of the project. We will provide Bid
Assistance to help the City acquire a qualified contractor to perform
the repairs. Following the selection of a contractor, we will
perform Construction Administration services, as well as spend
time developing the Long‐term Maintenance Plans for each of the
two garages. Throughout the remainder of this RFP response, we
will refer to these different phases, for easier reference.
Construction Documents:
Knowing that the City has developed a multi‐year budget to
address all of the items outlined in the previous assessment
reports, we will tailor the content in our drawings for the 2014
calendar year to provide the most efficient use of your construction
dollars. The Construction Documents will include all necessary
plans, details, and specifications required to receive competitive
bids from contractors for this year’s construction scope.
We will first address the most critical repairs outlined on the precast analysis reports dated February 11, 2014 for the Civic
Center and February 20, 2014 for the Old Town Garage. Next, we will allocate the remaining budget dollars to seal the
vertical joints on the exterior of the buildings and the horizontal joints on the top (exposed) levels. The new sealant joints
will protect the critical structural connections and limit additional damage to the primary structural elements that are
scheduled to be repaired in 2015.
In an effort to save time and costs, we will define the sealant scope of work for each garage with specifications that will be
included directly on the drawings. We will specify materials and products that not only are appropriate for the vertical and
horizontal applications, but also will be compatible with future work planned for at each garage. The horizontal sealant
products will likely differ between garages since it is recommended to place a traffic coating on the top level of the Old
Town garage and a penetrating sealer at the Civic Center.
To ensure we use the entire allocated budget and gain the maximum benefit for each dollar spent, we will prioritize the
construction efforts in a work list to be included on the Construction Documents. The documents will clearly outline the
most critical work items and their associated quantity and list them as the items to be performed under the “Base Bid” for
each garage. The previously discussed budget you have allocated for this work will be taken into consideration when
defining the Base Bid work items and quantities.
We will also include in the Construction Documents, “Add Alternates”
for items to be performed as this year’s budget allows. These
additional work items and quantities will be clearly outlined in the
construction documents in order to obtain prices for the work during
the bidding stage.
For an example of how the Base Bid and Add
Alternate work lists and associated plans will
appear, please see the attached example
project in Appendix A of this document.
SECTION 2 – APPROACH
Statement of Proposal to the City of Fort Collins
7638 PARKING STRUCTURES SPECIFICATIONS & DRAWINGS
4
Based on our knowledge of the current conditions at both garages as well as the remaining 2014 budget dollars to be spent
for each garage, we anticipate the Base Bid and Add Alternates to be outlined as follows.
2014 Civic Center construction scope:
Base Bid:
Repair cracked spandrel at snow removal location outlined in the precast analysis report.
Install protective coating to repaired spandrel at snow removal location.
Replace the failed connections along the double tees where snow is stored.
Replace vertical building sealants around the building perimeter.
Replace horizontal sealants between double tees on the 5th level.
Replace cove joint sealants at vertical to horizontal interfaces on the 5th level.
Install a penetrating silane sealer to the slab on the 5th level.
Add Alternates:
Replace horizontal sealants between double tees on the exposed portions of the 4th level.
Replace cove joint sealants at vertical to horizontal interfaces on the exposed portions of the 4th level.
Install a penetrating silane sealer to the slab on the exposed portions of the 4th level.
2014 Old Town construction scope:
Base Bid:
Repair cracks to critical structural members outlined in the precast analysis report.
Replace horizontal sealants directly above repairs.
Replace cove joint sealants directly above repairs.
Replace vertical building sealants around the building perimeter.
Add Alternates:
Repair as many concrete delaminations in the slab of the top level that the remaining budget allows for.
To expedite the production of our Construction Documents, we will use our field notes and knowledge from our 2013
assessment to begin the drawings and specifications immediately following the notice to proceed. We will then have our
respective parking garage and waterproofing experts visit the site to estimate the quantities for the various work items and
make sure the necessary details have been included.
Bid Assistance:
We will prepare a bid form for the City to issue for a public bid or to
select qualified Contractors requesting prices for each work item
listed on the repair documents. This bid form will be completed by
each bidder, and will allow for direct comparison of each bidders’
price.
Our Investigative team deals extensively with contractors that
specialize in the repair, restoration, and waterproofing industry.
We have very good relationships with several contractors in the
area that are qualified to perform the work at your two garages.
We will provide references to the City for the contractors that we
would recommend for this specific type of work.
We will attend a pre‐bid meeting on‐site with potential bidders to
outline the nature and scope of repairs. After the City receives the bids, we will help review them to make sure they are
responsive to the project requirements. We will evaluate the qualifications, bids, and schedules received, and provide our
recommendation to the City as to which contractor we believe would provide the best end product. If needed, we can
SECTION 2 – APPROACH
Statement of Proposal to the City of Fort Collins
7638 PARKING STRUCTURES SPECIFICATIONS & DRAWINGS
5
produce a bid summary sheet for comparison of each work item
from each responsive bid.
Construction Administration:
Once a contractor is selected, we will conduct a preconstruction
meeting with the winning Contractor. We will perform up to two
site visits during the 2014 construction efforts to observe the
progress of construction and verify approximate quantities of work
complete. Following each site visit, we will issue a field observation
report complete with our observations and any action items
discussed with the contractor during the site walk. In an effort to
save costs for the City, we have assumed that both garages will be
visited during each site visit date.
If needed, we will review Contractor submittals, respond to
substitution requests and answer RFI’s. If requested by the City, we
will review Contractor’s Change Orders and Pay Applications and
provide comments based on the completed work quantities
observed during our site visits.
Long‐term Maintenance Plans:
The City has expressed their desire to have a custom maintenance
plan for each garage. Our experience in the parking garage repair
market is that maintenance plans range in their complexity
depending on the Owner’s desires. They can be as simplistic as a bullet point task list, or more complex including detailed
instructions on how to care for the particular materials on site with time and cost estimates for when future repairs should
be anticipated.
It is our understanding from previous discussions that you would like the custom plans for these two garages to be of the
more in‐depth variety. In addition we are aware of your desire to focus on the individual snow removal plans and guidance
on how to maintain the specific materials and conditions of each garage.
Martin/Martin is well equipped to provide a thorough maintenance plan for each garage complete with all the specific
recommendations you will need to proactively maintain your individual garages considering the specific materials used to
repair/waterproof each structure. Appendix B shows a few pages from a detailed maintenance plan that we produced
previously for your review.
The most useful maintenance plans are those that are updated on a regular basis to document any changes that have
occurred to the structure and waterproofing elements. Since the City has outlined a multi‐year approach for the repairs
and waterproofing of the two garages, we recommend that the initial plan outline be produced during the first year with
specific sections developed further along than others.
For example, the snow removal portion of the plans should be
completed in their entirety during this year’s efforts, however, the
“recent repairs” and “future maintenance timeline” sections can be
updated in future years when more of the 2013 assessment report
recommendations have been completed.
We believe that this approach will allow for the best use of the
City’s funds over a multi‐year timeframe. It also allows the original
cost estimates for the overall maintenance plans listed in the initial
assessment reports to be spread out over several years.
SECTION 2 – APPROACH
Statement of Proposal to the City of Fort Collins
7638 PARKING STRUCTURES SPECIFICATIONS & DRAWINGS
6
Our first task during the development of the maintenance plans will be to determine an acceptable snow removal plan for
each garage. We will meet with the City of Fort Collins Streets Department to obtain information from them regarding the
types of snow removal equipment that they currently have available for use. Factoring in the sizes and weights of this
equipment, along with the structural capacity from our previous analysis, we will develop recommendations for a custom
snow removal plan for each garage.
The snow removal portions of the maintenance plans will outline specific methods and procedures to be used to remove
snow and ice from the exposed levels of the garages. It will define the capacity of the structure, outline what size of snow
removal equipment is acceptable, and offer acceptable locations and sizes of snow storage stockpiles.
In an effort to save the City money, we have based our fee estimates on the assumption that both structures can be
addressed in one meeting with the Streets Department with follow‐up phone conversations and/or emails as required.
SECTION 3 – DELIVERABLES
Statement of Proposal to the City of Fort Collins
7638 PARKING STRUCTURES SPECIFICATIONS & DRAWINGS
7
Deliverables
Our deliverable for this year’s scope of work will consist of a single
Construction Document Bid Package, as well as the initial Long‐term
Maintenance Plans (including snow removal plans) for both garages.
Construction Documents:
The Construction Documents will include plans, details, and
specifications as needed to define the work for a competitive bid.
We will outline specific work items with itemized quantities for each
type of work to be performed at each garage. There will be one set
of drawings put out to bid to the contractors, however, the scope of work and associated work lists for each garage will be
separated to allow the City to fund the construction at each of the two structures separately. We will use the most up to
date version of Revit to produce these documents.
Long‐term Maintenance Plans:
The portions of the Long‐term Maintenance Plans to be completed in 2014 will consist of site specific snow removal
instructions as well as various checklists so that on‐site maintenance personnel can perform quick reviews of what items
have been completed periodically throughout the year.
The final maintenance plans will include recommendations on implementing routine
maintenance items that can be performed on an annual basis by on‐site maintenance
personnel. They will further outline preventative maintenance items that should be
budgeted for considering a multi‐year recurrence interval in order to prolong the
structural integrity and maintain the waterproofing elements. These portions of the
plan will be produced in outline form during 2014 with initial recommendations and
updated in future years when additional repairs and waterproofing efforts have been
completed.

Cherry Creek Place III Garage Repairs and Waterproofing
Denver, Colorado
Martin/Martin’s engineers have observed the conditions of the garage over a 2.5
year time period, and issued repair drawings. Additional site visits and investigations
were required to determine the severity of the advanced deterioration to the double
tee stems. Martin/Martin developed three schematic design options to obtain
preliminary pricing estimates including the design of the new concrete columns and
footings to support the deteriorated double tee stems. Our engineers coordinated
with the contractor to obtain pricing options. Martin/Martin designed new 8” CMU
infill between columns to be able to create a storage room behind the new columns.
Additional services included documentation for formal pricing, site visits during
construction (always followed by a Field Observation Report), review of submittals
and rebar shop drawings.

Centerpoint II Parking Garage Assessment and Report
Denver, Colorado
Martin/Martin’s structural investigative engineers reviewed the original structural
drawings for the parking garage to become familiar with the framing and details of
the original construction. They performed a thorough, visual, structural examination
of the parking garage where they located cracks in concrete slabs and walls, signs of
structural distress, poor drainage, and other problems potentially affecting the
safety, durability, maintenance, or performance of the garage. In addition,
Martin/Martin’s engineers performed a limited chain‐drag survey of the top slab to
identify delaminations that may not be visually apparent. At the conclusion of the
work, our engineers produced an engineering report outlining findings and general
recommendations for repairs or maintenance of the deteriorated areas. The report
included an evaluation of the severity of the conditions observed, and an engineer’s
opinion of the rough order of magnitude for construction costs associated with the
repairs, allowing the owner the ability to determine and prioritize the work to be
performed over the next several years.

Schedule
Construction Documents:
Provided we receive the notice to proceed on or before June 9, 2014, we will complete the Bid Documents and provide
them to the City of Fort Collins on or before Friday June 20, 2014.
Bid Assistance:
We are available to begin assisting the City of Fort Collins in the bid process immediately following the completion of the
Construction Documents. The length of this phase will vary depending on the City’s chosen methods and procedures in
acquiring a contractor. We are available at a moment’s notice to help the City meet their desired schedule.
Construction Administration:
The timeframe for these services are heavily dependent on the length of time it takes the City to secure a Contractor as well
as the Contractor’s available start date. We will attend the pre‐construction meeting within two weeks prior to the
Contractor’s proposed start date. We will coordinate our site visits with the Contractor based on their anticipated schedule
and are available to visit the site within a day’s notice.
Long‐term Maintenance Plans:
We will begin production of the maintenance plans after the Bid Documents are completed. This work can be performed
simultaneously during the bidding process and subsequent construction period. We will meet with the Streets Department
early in this process and ensure the snow removal portions of the plans are completed in time to implement any
recommended changes to the current procedures before the 2014‐2015 snow season. Once a contractor has been
awarded the contract for the Base Bid and any Add Alternates chosen for 2014, we will complete the remaining outline
sections of the plans discussed above.

Budget
Martin/Martin acknowledges receipt of Addendum 1.
As requested, our fees have been broken down for each of the two garages. Further breakdowns for the various phases on
each garage have been included based on the scope of services and approach outlined above. All of the fees listed are
considered lump sum costs for the particular phase shown.
Civic Center Parking Structure:
Construction Documents* ‐ $5,500
Bid Assistance ‐ $1,800
Construction Administration ‐ $2,700
Long‐Term Maintenance Plan** ‐ $3,500
Sub‐total for Civic Center ‐ $13,500
Old Town Parking Structure:
Construction Documents* ‐ $3,000
Bid Assistance ‐ $1,800
Construction Administration ‐ $2,700
Long‐Term Maintenance Plan** ‐ $3,000
Sub‐total for Old Town ‐ $10,500
Total price for RFP response = $24,000
* Please note that the Construction Documents and Bid Assistance phases of each garage will be performed
simultaneously, however, we have allocated portions of our fee to each structure to aid in your management costs
associated with each asset.
**In attempt to best utilize the City’s funds over a multi‐year timeframe, we have placed fees associated with the
development of the snow removal plans and the initial maintenance plan outline into this year’s proposal. Fees to
update the maintenance plans in subsequent years after additional repairs are completed will be addressed in future
proposals. This approach allows the original cost estimates for the overall maintenance plans listed in the initial
assessment reports to be spread out over multiple years.
If requested, Additional Services can be provided for fees that are based on the rates and charges listed below.
