Jefferson Street Roadway and Multimodal Improvements
ROW Plans, Subsurface Investigation and Environmental Clearances
Description:
Interwest with assistance from the Team (CTL Thompson, Pinyon Environmental and Tatanka
Historical Associates, Inc.) will coordinate with Engineering to complete the Colorado
Department of Transportation (CDOT) Right-of-Way Acquisition process, subsurface
investigations and the Categorical Exclusion (Cat Ex) Determination to satisfy National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation requirements for the Jefferson Street
Roadway and Multimodal Improvements from North College Avenue south to Mountain
Ave/Lincoln Ave. This will be done in tandem with the FIR Plans for the project.
The following is a detailed explanation of each team member’s responsibility to complete the
right-of-way plans, subsurface investigations and environmental clearances for this project.
Tasks:
1. CDOT Right-of-Way Plans and Coordination – Interwest will support the City in the
development of Right-of-Way (ROW) Plans which will be submitted to CDOT for
review and approval. Interwest will determine new Right-of-Way along with permanent
and temporary easement requirements. We anticipate there will be impact on ten (10)
properties where ROW, permanent easements, and temporary easements are required. It
will be critical that the final horizontal layout of the project is approved by the City in a
timely manner so that there is adequate time for the approval.
Interwest will provide drafting support to the City for the preparation of a separate ROW
plan set according to CDOT standards, minus the monumentation sheets. Show all
property owners, boundaries, easements as well as existing and proposed ROW lines for
full length of project. All lines shall show bearing and length as well as station and offset.
The ROW plan set shall provide complete survey data meeting the requirements of
Colorado Revised Statute (CRS) 38-51-106 “Land Survey Plats" and be suitable for
recording.
The City will be responsible for the development of legals, review of title commitments,
establishment of existing ROW, easements and property lines, tabulation of monuments,
Monumentation Sheets, signing and stamping the plan set, and the installation of CDOT
monuments.
Interwest will develop a ROW Draft Plan Set which will be submitted to CDOT and the
City for review. In addition, Interwest will provide the City with property exhibits if needed
for negotiations with land owners. Interwest will attend a ROW plan review meeting and
address the draft plans per comments received at this meeting. Meeting minutes will also
be developed for this meeting. Revised Final ROW plans will be submitted to both CDOT
and the City.

In addition if any impacts are identified, Interwest will prepare individual private
property mitigation plans for up to five (5) properties. This task also includes
coordination of sub-consultants. Anticipated deliverables for this task include:
ROW Draft Plan Set
ROW Final Plan Set
ROW Review Meeting Minutes
2. Geotechnical Investigation – CTL Thompson (CTL) will provide the geotechnical
engineering services for this project. Test holes will be drilled to evaluate the pavement
and subsurface soil profile and to obtain samples for laboratory analysis. Traffic control
will be provided by CTL during drilling for all borings. It is anticipated CTL will drill six
(6) test holes within the roadway limits approximately ten (10) feet below existing grades
or until auger drill refusal.
The borings will provide information on the subsurface conditions including soil type,
depth to bedrock, and depth to groundwater. The Utility Notification Center of Colorado
(UNCC) will be notified for locates prior to drilling. Soil and bedrock will be sampled
using procedures similar to those described in ASTM. It is anticipated the existing
pavement section is asphalt on concrete base. Asphalt will be cored where borings are in
pavements. A CTL field engineer or geologist will log the borings, record groundwater
levels and the results of penetration tests, and obtain representative soil and bedrock
samples. The borings will be backfilled with flowfill in accordance with Larimer County
Urban Area Street Standards. Soil and bedrock samples collected during drilling will be
returned to the laboratory, and selected samples will be programmed for testing. Typical
lab tests will include liquid and plastic limits, swell-compression characteristics,
gradation, pH, chloride content, sulfide content, laboratory resistivity, and water soluble
sulfate content.
The results of the field and laboratory programs will be evaluated to provide preliminary
geotechnical design criteria for the proposed pavements and structures. CTL will prepare
a report summarizing the results of the field and laboratory work and CTL’s analysis,
opinions, conclusions, and recommendations including the following:
A general description of the proposed construction site
A local map showing the boring locations
Summary logs of the borings including subsurface conditions encountered
(soils, bedrock, and groundwater)
Discussions regarding:
o Subgrade concerns and mitigation recommendations
o Excavation consideration including difficulties, side slopes, slope
bracing and temporary dewatering recommendations, if needed
o The acceptability of on-site natural soils and existing fill for reuse as
engineered fill
o Groundwater effects on the proposed construction
o Pavement section alternatives and construction recommendation
January 11, 2016

o Foundation recommendations to include footings for light poles and
other urban improvements.
3. NEPA Services – Pinyon will provide the environmental services required for this
project. An initial site walk with CDOT personnel was completed to determine which
clearances will be necessary within the project limits.
The level of study anticipated for this project is a Categorical Exclusion Determination
(CatEx) utilizing CDOT Form 128. Based on a site visit with CDOT personnel a draft
Form 128 was developed by CDOT personnel assigning team responsibilities, it is
anticipated no further action is required or CDOT will complete clearances for the
following: Threatened and Endangered Species, Waters of the US including Wetlands,
6(f) Agreements, Paleontology, and Archaeology.
It is assumed Pinyon will be responsible for the remaining environmental resources in the
Cat Ex documentation. Pinyon will be responsible for air quality and noise screening. For
the noise screening requirements, Wilson and Company will provide the technical noise
assessment for Pinyon. In addition, Pinyon will need to complete Hazardous Waste ISA
Checklist, the 4(f) documentation for historical and parklands (Jefferson Street Park) and
a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment for the City’s requirement for property
acquisitions.
For the Historical documentation, Tatanka will complete the eligibility and effects
determinations for the properties in the area of potential effect. Pinyon will provide the
Section 4(f) de minimis language for inclusion in Tatanka’s Eligibility and Effects Letter
that will be submitted to the CDOT for request for concurrence from the State Historic
Preservation Officer.
For additional information see Pinyon’s detailed Scope of Services attached.
4. Historical Review – Tatanka Historical Associates, Inc. (Tatanka) will assist Pinyon
with the History resource in the Cat Ex documentation. Tatanka will provide the
Eligibility and Effects Letter that will be submitted to the CDOT. It is anticipated the
Historical clearances will be valid for a period of 5 years from the completion date.
Tatanka assumes that a finding of no adverse effect will be made with regard to impacts
to all properties that are considered historic. For additional information see Tatanka’s
detailed Scope of Services attached.

ATTACHMENT A
Detailed Scope of Services
Pinyon understands that Interwest will complete the design of improvements to Jefferson Street between
College Avenue and Lincoln Avenue. We assume that only partial, and no full, parcel acquisitions will be needed
for the Project. Property acquisition is anticipated to be required to change the existing right-of-way boundary
from back of curb to back of sidewalk in a limited number of areas. Right of way may also be required to
accommodate upgrading sidewalks to be compliant with the ADA and potential drainage improvements.
Pinyon assumes that:
either the City and/or Interwest will be solely responsible for any stakeholder outreach required, with
the exception of the Section 4(f) public comment period discussed below and that Interwest will
provide any permissions to enter, if required.
Interwest will supply CAD drawings with the correct project information from the survey in order to
convert the drawings to GIS shapefiles.
one alternative will be assessed for impacts.
all deliverables will have two rounds of review; one by the City and second by CDOT, Region 4.
Based on Pinyon’s initial review of the project and a site visit on September 9, 2015, the following are the
environmental evaluations that Pinyon will complete to meet CDOT and Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) protocols:
Task 1 - Air Quality: Pinyon will consult with CDOT and the Colorado Department of Health and
Environment to identify and model, using hot spot analyses, one intersection in the study area and develop
an Air Quality Technical Memorandum. We assume that Interwest will provide the required traffic data.
Deliverable: Air Quality Analyses Technical Memorandum
Task 2 - Noise: Wilson and Company (Wilson) will complete a technical noise assessment of a 500 foot
study area centered on the middle of Jefferson Street. Wilson will measure existing noise levels, validate
the model, and use it, along with traffic data provided by Interwest, to forecast future noise levels. Predicted
noise levels will be compared with CDOT Noise Abatement Criteria and mitigation measures, if potentially
applicable, will be evaluated for feasibility and reasonableness in accordance with CDOT’s 2015 Noise
Guidelines. Results of the analyses will be documented in a Noise Analyses Technical Memorandum. Please
refer to Attachment C for additional details on Wilson’s scope and fee.
Deliverable: Noise Analyses Technical Memorandum including Mitigation Recommendations (if applicable)
Task 3 - Hazardous Materials: Commercial and industrial uses occur in the Project vicinity. Pinyon will
complete a CDOT Initial Site Assessment (ISA) report and Form #881 documenting existing conditions at
the project. CDOT has indicated that they will provide the database search results to Pinyon for evaluation
and inclusion in the ISA; as such costs for this expense are not included in this estimate. A Certified
Asbestos Building Inspector (CABI) will conduct a survey for asbestos and lead paint on light poles or signs
(not buildings) that may be removed as part of the proposed project (up to two asbestos test and four lead
based paint tests). These surveys will be documented in the ISA report. Additionally, an ASTM Phase I
Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) will be completed for this project although no acquisition of full
parcels is anticipated. Pinyon will coordinate the timing of the ESA to occur later in the project as the
document is only valid for six months.
Deliverable: Initial Site Assessment Report and CDOT Form #881
Phase I ESA
Task 4 - Section 4(f), Public Parks: There is only one known Section 4(f), non-historic property in the study
area; Jefferson Street Park is located within the study area at 201 Jefferson Street between Linden Street
and the old train depot (now a restaurant). It is on a parcel of land owned by the Union Pacific Railroad
that is leased to the City, who has designated it as a public park. It is assumed to be a Section 4(f) resources
under the 1966 Department of Transportation Act. The project may acquire right of way from the park in
ATTACHMENT A (continued)
Detailed Scope of Services
order to move the existing right-of-way boundary from the back of curb to the back of sidewalk as well as
to shift the sidewalk from being attached to the back of curb to being separated by a grass strip for a
portion of the park. As the proposed improvement will not change the attributes of the park, Pinyon
assumes that a de minimis finding can be made.
Pinyon will document the park as a Section 4(f) resource, make a recommendation of a de minimis finding,
and create and post signs at the park of this recommendation that notifies the public of a 30-day comment
period and provide a method to comment. Additionally, Pinyon will publish a notice in the Coloradoan,
which is a prominent Fort Collins newspaper that notifies the public of a 30-day comment period and
provides a method to comment. After the comment period has ended, and assuming that there are no
reasons to reconsider a de minimis finding based on public comment, Pinyon will draft a letter requesting
concurrence from FHWA on this recommendation for signature by the City, who is the official with
jurisdiction.
Deliverable: Public Notice for Jefferson Park and the Coloradoan (Newspaper)
Jefferson Park Section 4(f) de minimis Correspondence for Signature and Submittal by the City
Task 5 - Section 4(f), Historic Resources: Tatanka has been retained by Interwest to complete the eligibility
and effects determinations for properties in the Area of Potential Effect; they have provided Interwest with
an independent scope and fee for this task. Tatanka assumes that a finding of no adverse effect will be made
with regard to impacts to all properties that are considered historic.
Pinyon will provide Section 4(f) de minimis language for inclusion in Tatanka’s Eligibility and Effects letter that
will be submitted to CDOT for request for concurrence from the State Historic Preservation Officer. No
fieldwork or site visit is included in this task. If the effects of the project are adverse additional scope and
fee would be required to address Section 4(f) with regard to historic resources.
Deliverable: Section 4(f) de minimis Text Eligibility and Effects Letter
Task 6 - Project Management: Pinyon will participate in three project meetings (i.e., kick-off, FIR, and FOR)
which will be held at the City and site visit (completed September 2015). We assume a limited amount of
coordination on design, schedule, and environmental analyses will be required during the project duration,
which is assumed to be eight months.

Subject: Jefferson Street Project
Historical Resources – Section 106 Documentation
PROJECT PROPOSAL
Dear Mike,
I am pleased to submit this scope of work and cost estimate for the historic resources
documentation and analysis within the Area of Potential Effect (APE) for the Jefferson
Street project in Fort Collins. The goal of this work will be to complete all of the
fieldwork, research, and written documentation necessary to support NHPA Section 106
compliance.
The enclosed scope and cost estimate are based upon my understanding that the APE
will be limited to the Jefferson Street corridor where it runs from College Avenue on the
west to Lincoln Avenue/Mountain Avenue on the east. I am attaching an aerial map
with proposed APE boundaries for the project, along with a list of the properties within
those boundaries. If the APE is revised by the City of Fort Collins, CDOT or SHPO, I
will be happy to amend this proposal.
Thank you providing me with the opportunity to be involved with this project.
Regards,
Ron Sladek
President

a. Archival research will be completed to locate and collect information
about each of the historic resources located within the APE, as well as to
establish the context for Jefferson Street. In addition to some online
research, the bulk of this work is expected to take place at the Larimer
County Courthouse, City of Fort Collins offices, and the Fort Collins
Museum of Discovery.
IV. Preparation of Deliverables
a. All of the required written documentation will be completed for
submission to the City of Fort Collins, CDOT, and SHPO for Section 106
clearance. This will include a project report, architectural inventory
forms (#1403), and accompanying diagrams, maps and photographs.
V. Project Completion
a. The submittals will be revised in light of any comments offered by the

Subject: Proposal for Geotechnical Engineering Services
Jefferson Street Improvements
College Avenue to Mountain Avenue
Fort Collins, Colorado
Proposal Number: FC-15-0312.01
CTL|Thompson, Inc. (CTL) is pleased to present this proposal for geotechnical engineering
services related to the proposed construction at the subject location. We understand
roadway improvements to Jefferson Street are proposed between College Avenue to
roughly 300 feet past Mountain Avenue. A geotechnical investigation is requested to
provide pavement design for the roadway.
To develop the required geotechnical design and construction criteria appropriate for the
Geotechnical Investigation, we propose to drill six borings, carry out a laboratory testing
program and provide you a report summarizing our testing and presenting geotechnical
recommendations. A detailed scope of services is included within the attached Service
Agreement. We propose to provide the Subgrade Investigation and Pavement Design
described for a lump sum fee of $6,250. For any other services you may need with this
project, our fee schedule is included with the attached Service Agreement as Exhibit B.
CTL will make appropriate effort to complete the work described in this Service Agreement
within a reasonable period. Based on the described project scope, we anticipate completing
the project about 4 to 5 weeks following your notice to proceed. Additional services,
changes to the project scope, or unforeseen complications due to third parties may require
additional time. Our Mr. Spencer Schram will be the Project Manager and your key contact.
If this proposal and the attached Service Agreement are acceptable, please complete, sign,
and return a copy for our records. Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to the
opportunity to work with you on this project. When you are ready for us to begin work or if
you have any questions, please contact the undersigned.
Respectfully Submitted,

INTERWEST CONSULTING GROUP Service Agreement Page 1 of 8
CTL|T SERVICE AGREEMENT NO. FC-15-0312.01
Parties This Agreement is made this 12th day of November, 2015 between Interwest Consulting Group referred to
herein as “Client” and CTL | Thompson, Inc. referred to herein as “CTL.”
Project By joining in the Agreement, Client retains CTL to provide consulting services in connection with the Jefferson
Street Improvements in Fort Collins, Colorado, referred to herein as “Project.” Client’s relationship to the
Project is that of “Consultant”.
Scope Details of the scope of CTL’s services are found in Exhibit A, which is part of this Agreement.
Fee CTL agrees to provide the Subgrade Investigation and Pavement Design for a fee of $6,250, covered by this
Agreement on a Lump Sum basis. Additional consultation will be provided on a Unit Rate basis in accordance
with the fees shown in Exhibit B.
This quotation shall remain available provided that CTL receives Client’s authorization to proceed within 30
days of the date of this Agreement.
If Project requirements or the subsurface conditions encountered indicate that the scope of services covered by
this Agreement should be revised, a contract modification or written addendum to this Agreement shall be
entered into to cover the revised scope and fee.
Invoices CTL will submit invoices to Client monthly and a final bill upon completion of services. Invoices will show
charges for different personnel and expense classifications, a lump sum fee or a percentage of completion,
where appropriate. A more detailed separation of charges and back-up data will be provided at Client's request.
Payment is due upon presentation of invoice and is past due thirty (30) days from invoice date. Client shall pay
a finance charge of one-and-one half percent (1 1/2 %) per month on past due accounts, plus attorney fees and
costs associated with collection.
Right-of-
Entry
Client will provide for right-of-entry of CTL and necessary equipment in order to complete the work. While CTL
will take reasonable precautions to minimize damage to the Project property, it is understood by Client that in
the normal course of work some damage may occur, the correction of which is not part of this Agreement.
Utilities Client shall be responsible for designating the location of all private utility lines and subterranean structures
within the property lines of the Project. CTL will request responsible utilities to locate off-site lines and public
on-site lines when necessary. Client agrees to hold CTL harmless for damage to utilities or subterranean
structures which are not correctly located by Client or the responsible utility.
Samples CTL will retain soil and rock samples for thirty (30) days after submitting the report on those samples.
Construction materials samples collected and tested will be disposed after testing. Further storage or transfer of
samples can be made at Client's expense upon written request.
Ownership of
Documents
The reports, boring or test pit logs, field data, field notes, laboratory test data, calculations, estimates and other
documents prepared by CTL, as instruments of service, shall remain property of CTL. CTL shall retain pertinent
records relating to the services performed for a period of five (5) years following completion of services
hereunder, during which period the records will be made available to Client during regular business hours.
Service Agreement
INTERWEST CONSULTING GROUP Service Agreement Page 2 of 8
CTL|T SERVICE AGREEMENT NO. FC-15-0312.01
Job Site Client agrees that, in accordance with generally accepted construction practices, the construction contractor will
be required by Client to assume sole and complete responsibility for job site conditions during the course of
construction of the Project, including safety of persons and property and construction means, methods,
techniques and sequences. Client further agrees to defend, indemnify and hold CTL harmless from any and all
liability, real or alleged, in connection with the performance of work on this Project, excepting liability arising
directly from the sole negligence of CTL.
Standard of
Care
Services of CTL under this Agreement will be performed in a manner consistent with that level of care and skill
ordinarily exercised by members of the profession currently practicing under similar conditions in the locality of
the Project. No warranty, express or implied, is made or given.
Client recognizes that subsurface conditions may vary from those encountered at the location where borings or
test pits, surveys, or explorations are made by CTL and that the data, interpretations and recommendations of
CTL are based solely on the information available to it. Client recognizes that the performance of soils depends
on variability beyond the control of CTL and therefore, CTL cannot and does not guarantee the performance of
the soils. CTL will be responsible for those data, interpretations and recommendations as indicated above, but
shall not be responsible for the interpretation or implementation by others of the information developed.
Limitations
on Claims
Any claim or cause of action between the parties to this Agreement including, but not limited to, claims for
contribution and indemnity, shall be deemed to have accrued and the applicable Colorado statutes of limitation
and repose shall commence to run no later than the date of substantial completion of the Project from which the
claim or cause of action arises. Substantial completion shall be deemed to occur no later than the date CTL
issues its final invoice for the Project.
In the event of a claim, Client agrees that as its sole and exclusive remedy, any claim, demand or suit shall be
brought against CTL as a corporation only, and not against any of CTL's individual employees, engineers,
agents, officers, directors or shareholders.
The services provided by CTL pursuant to this Agreement are solely for the benefit of Client. Neither CTL nor
Client intends to confer a benefit on any other person or entity. To the extent that any other person or entity
benefits by the services provided by CTL, such benefit is purely incidental and such person or entity shall not be
deemed a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.
Client and CTL waive claims against each other for consequential damages arising out of or relating to this
Agreement and the services provided hereunder. This mutual waiver includes, but is not limited to, claims for
losses of use, rent, income, profit, financing, business, and reputation, for delay damages of any sort, for lost
management and labor productivity and for lost opportunity to complete other projects. This waiver extends,
without limitation, to all consequential damages due to either party's termination under this Agreement.
Service Agreement
INTERWEST CONSULTING GROUP Service Agreement Page 3 of 8
CTL|T SERVICE AGREEMENT NO. FC-15-0312.01
Limitation of
Liability
CTL's liability for damages to Client due to professional negligence in the performance of services for the Project
shall be limited to $50,000 or the total fee for the services on the Project, whichever is greater. If this
Agreement provides for the performance of services for multiple building lots or sites, CTL's liability to Client
shall be limited to an aggregate amount of $50,000 or the total fee for all services under this Agreement,
whichever is greater. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, CTL will have no liability to Client
or any third parties for damages resulting from the failure of Client or others to follow CTL's recommendations.
Insurance CTL represents that it and its employees and consultants retained by it are protected by worker's compensation
insurance and that CTL has such coverage under public liability, property damage, and professional liability
insurance policies as CTL deems to be adequate. Certificates for all such policies of insurance shall be provided
to Client upon written request. CTL shall in no event be responsible for any loss or damage beyond the
amounts, available limits, and conditions of such insurance.
Termination This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon seven (7) days written notice in the event of substantial
failure by the other party to perform in accordance with the terms hereof. Such termination shall not be effective
if that substantial failure has been remedied before expiration of the period specified in the written notice. In the
event of termination, CTL shall be paid for services performed to the termination notice date plus reasonable
termination expenses.
Hazardous
Materials
Client represents that Client has made a reasonable effort to evaluate whether hazardous materials are on or
near the Project site and has informed CTL of any information or findings relative to the possible presence of
such materials. Should unanticipated hazardous materials be discovered in the course of the performance of
services under the Agreement, such discovery shall constitute a changed condition mandating a renegotiation of
the scope of work or termination of services. Should the discovery of unanticipated hazardous materials require
CTL to take immediate measures to protect health and safety, Client agrees to compensate CTL for costs
incidental to taking such measures and for any equipment decontamination or replacement required. CTL
agrees to notify Client promptly when unanticipated hazardous materials or suspected hazardous materials are
encountered. Client agrees to make any disclosure required by law to appropriate government agencies.
Furthermore, Client agrees to defend, indemnify and hold CTL harmless from any and all liability arising from
discovery by anyone of unanticipated hazardous materials or suspected hazardous materials.
Humidity,
Moisture
Vapor & Mold
Unless specifically included in this Agreement, services intended to control humidity, moisture vapor, and mold
are expressly excluded from the Agreement. Client recognizes that the growth of mold, some of which may be
harmful to human health, can be caused or exacerbated by conditions which occur inside or outside habitable
structures. If Client desires to obtain services intended to control humidity, moisture vapor and mold in crawl
spaces or below structurally supported floors, CTL can provide such services. Client may obtain such services
from any source Client deems appropriate. If such services are not expressly undertaken by CTL, however,
Client agrees to indemnify, defend and hold CTL harmless from any and all claims alleging that CTL caused,
contributed to, or failed to prevent injury and damage related to the occurrence or existence of humidity,
moisture vapor or mold.

of recommendations made or design services provided by other consultants, and will have no liability for
damages resulting from errors and omissions in the same.
Applicable
Law
The law of the State of Colorado shall govern the validity of the Agreement, and its interpretation and
performance.
Entire
Agreement
This Agreement shall be the entire Agreement and shall supersede any other agreement between Client and
CTL relating to the subject matter hereof. In case of conflict or inconsistency between this Agreement and any
other contract documents, this Agreement shall control. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement,
in the event that CTL begins performance of the activities addressed by this Agreement, this Agreement shall be
deemed to be an enforceable agreement between the parties regardless of whether either party has signed this
Agreement.
