Stanley Consultants has completed study, design, and construction services for many utility corridor extensions and
renovations for institutional, industrial, government, and utility clients across the United States. Projects on active
campuses add the increased responsibility of minimizing disruption to everyday activities; maintaining utilities in
service as much as possible; and increased safety concerns with open trenches, exposed utilities, and construction
traffic. Repeat assignments at a number of these campuses attest to Stanley Consultants’ expertise in the design and
construction administration required by infrastructure improvements and utility extensions.
Stanley Consultants also has an experienced substation department that can support the City of Fort Collins. The
substation team can review existing substation drawings to determine the system impact of new or upgraded
distribution feeders. If additional substation work is required, Stanley has the ability to perform or support the detailed
design.
C2. How Project Managed
The successful completion of any project requires professional and
technical expertise from many disciplines. Programming these services
into a responsive, collaborative, integrated team is a prerequisite for
efficient and effective project development. Project success is not only
contingent upon utilizing established and proven procedures, but also
depends upon selecting the right members for the Project Team,
excellent project management, and regular and open project
communications.
Our approach to project management emphasizes the Project Team,
effective communication, and detailed coordination to meet specific
objectives of the project.
Objectives are achieved through detailed planning, administration and
control, and effective coordination. In addition, Stanley Consultants
believes that this project’s success requires collaboration with the U-M
Architecture Engineering and Construction, Power Plant personnel, and
all project stakeholders. All ideas and data related to the project should
be openly available to all team members. Stanley Consultants will spend
significant time at project inception to understand U-M’s primary
objectives. During that time, U-M’s specific standards and procedures
are identified and incorporated into the project, as applicable. This
establishes a solid foundation for the project to build upon.
Project Manager
The Project Manager has the primary responsibility for overall project
management, which includes planning, scheduling, budgeting, project initiation, quality control, project control,
documentation of the engagement, and final closeout. Not only does this include producing quality work, but it must
also include schedule and cost control. Our Project Team will be led by Mr. Geno Wilson, who has over 24 years of
experience in production and project management. This work has included study, design, and construction services for
private and utility, clients. Mr. Wilson has successfully managed multiple projects while maintaining quality, schedule,
and budget.
C3. Methods and Timeline of Communication
Stanley Consultants believes good communication is the fundamental element which allows projects to succeed;
therefore, we place a very high emphasis on planning a great communication environment with City of Fort Collins.
For each current project and potential subsequent “task order / release / purchase order, we will first identify the
project’s stakeholders. We then collaboratively plan a communication system which works best for those identified
Successful Project Management

Stanley Consultants, Inc. | 6EBDD-27712 | City of Fort Collins Engineering Services for Electric Facilities Capital Improvements 3
stakeholders which need direct communication with Stanley Consultants. Distribution of information, whether this is
general communications or transmittals of electronic file deliverables, may be executed using a variety of appropriate
methods, some of which can be face-to-face or teleconference meetings, emails, FTA sites, websites, and project
collaboration websites, such as ProjectWise, or GoToMeeting websites. The method chosen manages the stakeholder
expectations and, most importantly, communicates the performance of the project to the stakeholders in a concise
and efficient manner. With Stanley Consultants being located fairly close - drive time is less than 2 hours, which can
facilitate quick face-to-face access, if required. Stanley Consultants will provide City of Fort Collins with the Project
Manager’s cell phone number for 24-hour email and phone communication access. Communication and timely access
between Stanley Consultants and clients in the Fort Collins area has not been an issue in the past nor will it be an issue
for these projects.
Geno Wilson will lead the project effort and manage the work of the project team by guiding each project’s specific
activities. He is coming to this project as a problem solver. Geno’s years of experience working with public and
private sector clients has equipped him with knowledge of various implementation tools, making sure that strategies
identified will be the most effective. Among the tools he has developed are methods for project coordination aimed
at enhancing communication and organizing activities to achieve common goals.

hardware and software) is continually upgraded to stay with current versions and technology while improving
efficiency and capability. The configuration is fully networked, with local-area networks in each office, and all offices
interconnected via a wide-area network using high-speed dedicated lines. File and operational compatibility exists
across all offices on the network.
Servers and Workstations
Specially equipped high performance Intel-based servers and workstations are used for CAD applications. File and
application servers are multi-processor Intel-based class machines, with memory and on-line file storage capable of
supporting very large project data sets. The typical server operating system is Windows-based.
Workstations currently in use are current generation Intel Processors, typically equipped with 16 GB memory, 500 GB
or larger local disk, high performance graphics cards, and large, high-resolution, color monitors. Operating system on
the desktop workstations is largely Windows 7.
ProjectWise as a Secure Document Management and Collaboration Tool:
For complying with NERC CIP standards, Stanley Consultants provides an added security layer for project files by
utilizing our document management system called ProjectWise. The system provides controlled access to project
documents by our employees. The system also provides externally controlled access to clients and subcontractors
through a secure web link.
Based upon client’s needs, layers of security can be applied to folders, files, and data. ProjectWise security is
customizable. Different security requirements for who has access can be applied to individual subfolders as well as
documents within those subfolders. Additionally, ProjectWise allows you to securely control who can modify files.
The system automatically monitors and logs all access to files in an audit trail maintained for the life of the document.
ProjectWise provides convenience and security for storing project documents in one location. It is easy for clients to
set up access to ProjectWise; and they do not need to currently use ProjectWise or have their own ProjectWise license.
Key documents can be accessed as you need them. Clients can have confidence that they have the latest version of a
document, thereby minimizing the risk of using outdated materials. Additionally, use of the ProjectWise system can
save time for the client, as project deliverables are stored in one location and can be securely accessed by all
individuals the client designates as requiring access.

Task 1.2 - Project Kickoff and Site Visit
The objective of this task is to discuss and clarify the scope and details of the project, to collect data and to physically
review the duct bank route. Existing facilities and specific site conditions not previously identified that may affect the
design will be identified and discussed. This work will commence with the kick-off meeting where access to data will
be requested, and drawings related to the site will be provided by City. The site visit will be scheduled in conjunction
with the kick-off meeting to provide the opportunity for key Stanley Consultants personnel to familiarize themselves
with the sites and site conditions.
Deliverables:
• Kick-Off Meeting Notes
Task 1.3 - Geotechnical Investigation
The objective of this task is to obtain a geotechnical investigation for use in the duct bank, vault, and manhole
designs. Stanley will retain HP Geotech to visit the site and generate a Geotechnical Report. Stanley will provide a
geotech scope of work based on route selections.
Deliverables:
• Geotechnical Report from Consultant
Task 1.4 - Site Survey
The objective of this task is to procure a preliminary site survey if an existing survey does not include desired detailed
information. Site survey information may be available as a part of the overall street project. Safe Site will provide the
following information:
• Map and Data Research
• Locate and GPS QL B 60' rd CL thru U
• Locate and GPS 10' either side of RL-Same as above constrained to 10 ft to either side of a running line.
This information will be used to help establish/confirm an initial route.
Deliverables:
• Preliminary Site Survey (see Section H for sample deliverable)
Phase 2 – Underground Design and Specifications
General: This phase will commence after the kickoff meeting, and includes a physical review of the project site to aid
in the development of the underground design
Task 2.1 - Duct Bank Plan Development
The objective of this task is to finalize plans for the duct bank, including verifying duct sizes, cable ampacity
requirements, cable routing requirements, spare conduit requirements, equipment requirements, desired maximum
pulling tensions, and the specific routing of the underground duct bank.
Other items to be considered in this task are the protection of other utilities, the boundary of construction impact,
routes of ingress and egress, contractor parking, and material lay down and storage, and identification of civil
restoration and landscaping.
Other factors that are considered when selecting a route are:
• Private utilities such as irrigation systems
• Old locate information
• Existing underground utilities
• Stormwater and sewer systems/culverts
• Trees
• Possible set-up and pit locations for directional bore
• Vault locations
• Congestion
• Land availability/Owner cooperation
Stanley Consultants, Inc. | 6EBDD-27712 | City of Fort Collins Engineering Services for Electric Facilities Capital Improvements 7
After an initial route(s) are selected, the Stanley designer will visit the route with Safe Site to review the project and
determine next steps and areas that need to be pot-holed. Safe Site will provide the following information/services:
• Pothole Permit - Permit for Vacuum Excavation in the public Right of Way.
• Vacuum Excavation Truck; This includes full restoration on soft surface and temporary restoration on hard surface.
• Sewer laterals or service (camera) - Locate sewer services with a camera unit. This gives an accurate location and
depth of the sewer service.
• Plan page & data disk QLA 1''-20'- Quality level "A" plan and profile pages
• Plan page & data disk QLB 1''-20'- Quality level “B” plan topographic survey plan sheets.
• Utility Sketches as needed
• Traffic control support may be required when pot–holing and performing other types of field investigation. Safe
Site will provide all necessary traffic control support.
Stanley will make minor adjustments to the route as needed as the onsite investigation is proceeding. This helps
minimize the time and effort by eliminating unnecessary pot-holing.
Deliverables:
• Underground Plan & Profile Drawings showing existing facilities
• Preliminary Design Plan
Task 2.2 - Special Considerations
There are several of construction factors and risks that need to be considered for these projects:
• Spring Creek Crossings – Spring Creek is crossed twice and those crossings have special design issues. Directional
boring under the creek may be an option as well attaching to existing bridges. All options will be evaluated for
constructability and cost. Geotechnical investigations will be required to help evaluate the crossing options.
• Type of duct bank: open trench vs directional boring under existing streets and for road crossings. Where
directional boring is an option, bore spacers will be used to space the conduits and then back fill the bore with
grout. Boring pit size, depth, and location will play a key factor in determining the feasibility of this method.
Where the conduits are located in congested streets, concrete encased duct banks are recommended to support
the conduit configuration and to protect the conduits from other contractors.
• The crossing of W. Prospect street provides interesting challenges because of the urban environment and traffic.
• Water levels may affect the constructability for both open trenches and potential boring pits.
• Heat dissipation and conduit configuration. Typically, the larger circuits would be located around the perimeter of
the duct bank. Fluidized thermal backfill may be recommended
• When considering an open trench option, soil type plays a significant role in the width and safety of trenches
Task 2.3 - Underground Design
The objective of this task is to develop the specifications and drawings associated with installation of the new
underground system. This design will include a plan and profile of the new duct bank, indicating the location and
depth of the known utilities. In general, the system will be installed over or under existing utilizes that cannot be
rerouted, and indicate locations where minor underground utilities will need to be relocated.
Product/material and construction specifications will be developed in conjunction with the plan drawings. Detail
drawings of cable routing in manholes and equipment will also be provided.
Cable selection will include calculating cable thermal ampacity keeping the utilities normal practice in mind. After
cable selection, the size of the ducts will be verified. Duct arrangement and manhole locations shall be such that
cables can be pulled within tolerances of tension and bending radii. “Pull Planner 3000” by American Polywater
Corporation will be used for the calculations.
Deliverables:
• Underground installation plan and profile drawings
• Underground system detail drawings which include relevant standard details such as grounding and splicing

Tab E – Sustainability / TBL Methodology
Stanley Consultants, Inc. | 6EBDD-27712 | City of Fort Collins Engineering Services for Electric Facilities Capital Improvements 1
E. Sustainability Methodology
Stanley Consultants incorporates the framework
of The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) methodology into
its day-to-day business operating process and
procedure in terms of the three dimensions
within the methodology - financial/economic,
environmental, and social.
Stanley Consultants has made a corporate
commitment to sustainability. We formed a
Sustainability Committee with representatives
from throughout the company. The committee’s
three-fold mission includes developing and
implementing practices that are good for the
environment and for business;
developing a marketing/operations
plan that adds sustainability as a
service offered to clients; and
developing an employee
sustainability program that carries
sustainability into employees’
homes and communities. The last
element of the Committee’s mission
involves offering sustainability
services to clients. Building
commissioning, waste heat
recovery, energy audits, free
cooling, variable speed drives,
thermal storage, and designing
biomass systems, wetlands, brown
fields, and high efficiency HVAC
systems are among the longtime
services offered. Newer services
being offered include geothermal
energy, solar thermal generation
and green roofs.
Stanley Consultants members are
encouraged to adopt sustainable
practices, such as carpooling, using
bicycle accommodations, using
public transit, and telecommuting
options. We have also
implemented a compressed work
week schedule to cut down on fuel
usage.
CORE VALUES
Stanley Consultants is a values-based organization. Our Core Values serve as the
governing foundation of our organization. They are important philosophies we
use to guide us in making decisions.

Waste Minimization
Stanley Consultants has implemented various ways to reduce the company’s waste – some being very easily
implemented and others requiring more effort. The programs range from two-sided printing, electronic document
management, paper and magazine recycle tubs, recycling cardboard, ink, computer equipment, and lamps, using
“green” cleaning products, and purchasing recycled paper products.
Energy Efficiency
Stanley Consultants has reduced the amount of electricity consumed for lighting by installing daylight harvesting
sensors and occupancy sensors, retrofitted lighting systems with electronic ballasts and energy efficient lamps, and
eliminating the use of space heaters. The custodial staff schedule has been changed to take advantage of daylight
hours. This reduces the number of hours the building is lit in the evening, thus reducing energy consumption.
Water Efficiency
Stanley Consultants has office water coolers or drinking fountains for use within their offices and is in the process of
installing faucet/fixture retrofits and drought tolerant landscaping.
Education of Stanley Consultants Staff
Stanley Consultants implemented an information sharing program for employees to use outside of the workplace.
Employees share a wide range of information such as the performance of energy efficient siding, data and statistics on
different types of home heating systems, and where to locate sustainable home building materials. A statement from
our Chairman Emeritus encouraging education of our staff in energy and environmental design is below:
Education of Business Peers
Stanley Consultants has been recognized
nationally for excellence in sustainable design.
We believe the concepts of sustainable design
should be a part of every project, even when not
attempting to obtain formal certification. We
propose a formal sustainability design “charette”
or “eco-charette” be conducted as part of the
early design process. It is led by one of our
Team’s LEED-accredited professional. We are
committed to an integrated design approach
that considers every possible opportunity for use
of recycled materials, energy savings, and design solutions that promote ease of maintenance and zero or minimum
impact on the environment. Collectively, our Team has several LEED-Accredited Professionals who are fully qualified
through formal training and practical work experience to integrate all aspects of USGBC sustainable design into your
projects.
Stanley Consultants has the expertise to work with clients to determine the level of sustainability that best meets their
business goals. Many green technologies do increase the first cost of the buildings. Therefore, our technical staff
works with interested clients to compare these advanced technologies in terms of lower life cycle cost, increased
return on investment, and impact on the environment. Stanley Consultants understands the LEED Green Building
Rating System and will work with interested clients to achieve LEED certification.
Stanley Consultants' expertise in complex building types, collaborative design teams, and knowledge of sustainable
design provides a resource to meet our clients’ current and future requirements.
Stanley Consultants is a member firm of the USGBC and our members can access the USGBC "members only" portion
of the USGBC website for many LEED based resources. Our USGBC Corporate ID Number is 1327780208103443 we
have many LEED Accredited Professionals.
"I'm convinced that having strong capabilities and
credentials in energy and environmental design will be
increasingly important in the years ahead. While the
evidence has been convincing for many years, there is
now growing public recognition of the need for better
stewardship of our nation's and the world's
environmental and energy resources. We should be
leaders rather than laggers in this effort". –

Central Plant Switchgear Replacement
Arizona State University
The scope of this project was to provide engineering services to Arizona State
University (ASU) for the design and construction for the replacement of the Central
Plant 15kV switchgear located at the main campus in Tempe, Arizona. The 15kV
switchgear, consisting of four lineups inside the Central Plant, was 1960s vintage
equipment serving all Central Plant equipment and the campus distribution system.
The primary project objective was to improve power reliability without adversely
impacting Central Plant operations during the project. The project utilized the
CM@RISK delivery method.
The four 15kV switchgear lineups were consolidated into two switchgear lineups and
relocated outside the Central Plant. The relocation allowed the required safety
working clearances to be met and ownership between the university and local electric
utility to be established.
Stanley Consultants in addition to design and construction administration services
provided services to support the procurement of the 15kV switchgear and associated
control system. The design included a protective relay coordination study and arc
flash hazard analysis.
