3. General Company Resources
We feel that Connell Resources, Inc is uniquely qualified to team with the City of Fort Collins
to construct this challenging and schedule critical project. We work with the City of Fort
Collins on the Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Utilities contract with the same approach.
Connell Resources, Inc. has a large fleet of well-maintained equipment selected specifically
for the type of construction we perform. All three of Connell’s project team members are
personally familiar with all of the equipment in the fleet and what each piece is capable of
or most efficient at. This allows them to assign equipment to each project as it is needed
and to ensure only the equipment necessary to complete the work is dispatched to the site
and in turn charged to the City. Additionally, Connell transports our equipment with our own
trucks allowing us to have equipment on site quickly; this is also facilitated by our close
location to any work requested by the City. All of Connell’s fleet is available for use on the
Integrated Recycling Facility Project.
In addition to this equipment Connell Resources, Inc. owns and operates its own asphalt hot
plant as well as mining and processing our own aggregates. Connell utilizes our resources
to recycle our own materials for concrete and asphalt aggregates.
Connell Resources, Inc. uses the latest technology in estimating software, B2W. A sample
estimate has been attached for your review.
Connell is familiar with this construction approach as we currently operate on these terms
with the City of Fort Collins Utilities and Larimer County.
Please see attached organizational chart and equipment list.
4. Project Experience
Throughout our 65 year history Connell Resources, Inc. has had the opportunity to
successfully complete a variety of diverse and challenging projects. These projects have
been completed through sound project management and by a dedicated group of highly

5. Project Budget and Cost Control
Connell will dedicate a full time project manager and estimator to this project from the
beginning. He will be a part of the team throughout design and construction, attending
meetings, offering insight and ensuring the estimate reflects what has been discussed
amongst the team.
When plans and specifications are reviewed by the City and Connell personnel, the effort will
be to brainstorm any innovative methods to construct portions of the work. We have the
ability to quickly build detailed cost analyses and schedules to assist in examining if cost
savings or cost increases justify the end project goals.
The Project Manager will be committed to providing a monthly cost report detailing out all
charges for the month. The agreed upon rates will be factored onto the actual costs and
submitted for payment. The cost report will be reviewed and agreed upon between Connell
and the City.
Please see the attached Plum Street Sewer Rehab Budget for Cost. This is an example of a
budget that Connell put together with the City of Fort Collins on the utility contract.
6. Construction Sequencing and Scheduling
It would be our intent to develop the sequence and schedule of the project through a
collaborative effort with the Integrated Recycling Facility team. The initial meetings would
be used to build an understanding of the project budget, create overall project goals as
well as share information pertaining to design status and project requirements. Along with
the discussion of specific goals, we would look at project phasing and interim schedule
milestones.
The next step for the team would be to develop preliminary cost estimates, activity
durations, and an initial cost loaded CPM schedule using Primavera software. These
estimates and schedules would be reviewed with the City to discuss any further refinement
or value engineering options that are available. We would update our schedule weekly and
distribute to all necessary parties, highlighting the critical path.
Assuming that the design of the project would continue to be refined, the above process
would need to repeat as necessary until the project was ready for construction. We have
found that the more time and effort that can go into partnering during the preconstruction
process the higher the project success rate. The foundation to maintaining a successful
project from start to finish is communication and coordination among all parties.
Since Connell self performs an average of 85% of each contract we perform, we are able to
manage the schedule with our crews performing the work. We would hire subcontractors
that we have successfully worked with in the past and are confident could meet the project
schedule. We have an extensive knowledge of what each company’s strengths are; this
knowledge allows us to match the correct subcontractor with the needs of a specific
project. We do use subcontractors exclusively. We feel it is critical to match
subcontractor’s strengths to the specific needs of a projects and its team.
Please see the attached Plum Street Sewer Rehab schedule as a sample.
7. Quality Assurance and Quality Control
In addition to our Managers being directly involved in quality control through oversight and
project involvement Connell also employs an internal Quality Control department headed
by a full time Quality Control Manager. This department helps to ensure quality product
and installation on site through tests processed in our lab. Our company culture is such
that quality is a top priority second only to safety.
8. Experience with Sustainable Design and Construction
As a site development contractor, sustainable design is not as recognized as it would be on
a building project. However, Connell does recycle and produces our own aggregates that
are incorporated into projects. We recycle approximately 75,000 tons of asphalt material
per year.
We have contributed to several LEED qualifying projects with our aggregate base and
asphalt containing recycled content.
All projects over one acre in size, have a storm water management plan on site that is
adhered to and updated throughout construction. We employ a full time Environmental
Health Technician to assist in the permit acquisitions and compliance.
9. Partnering Experience
Our culture at Connell is based on the free flow of ideas that encourages constructive
criticism, mutual respect, and peer accountability; these traits aide in the idea and values of
partnering.
We try to approach all projects, whether they are hard bid or negotiated, with a partnering
attitude. Through this attitude, we found partnering methods, that work well and others that
do not. The most success we have had in partnering and project execution is through the
use of “Early Contractor Involvement”. The ECI method of partnership allows for the
involvement of the contractor in the preliminary design phase of a project. This benefits the
project stakeholders not only by adding the contractor’s experience in terms of construction
means, methods, and material selections but also facilitates a team atmosphere and
creates an attitude of project ownership from the entire team. Further, the use of open
book estimate reviews, value engineering, and shared past experiences from the city staff,
the engineer, the contractor its’ subcontractors and suppliers helps develop a true
partnership that aides in achieving the project goals.
Connell Resources, Inc. has a long and successful history of partnering on its construction
projects. We have been involved in a wide variety of projects from the public and private
sector that have utilized partnering both on a formal and informal basis. Our core belief in
advantages of partnering and the mutual benefit of open communication and trust
between the project stake holders has led us to over 40 such successful negotiated
projects in just the past 5 years with contract values that range from $50,000 to over
$10,000,000.
Connell is currently working with the City of Fort Collins on the Water, Wastewater and
Stormwater Utilities Infrastructure Design and Construction Services contract. We also hold
the Larimer County Annual Contract which operates on an open book, cost plus basis. Dan
Giesler is the project manager and estimator for both of these projects and would be
assigned to the Integrated Recycling Facility.

Connell Resources, Inc. evaluates each job during pre-construction in house and Owner
meetings for safety concerns, in addition to evaluating the safest way to complete various
portions of the work during bidding. Once plans are received, Estimators will bid the
installation of the work with the safest means and methods. A project specific safety plan
will then be designed upon award of the project based on these discoveries during the
estimating process. In addition to project specific safety plans Connell has a companywide
standard Safety Program and an Employee Safety Handbook which are provided to all
employees during orientation, can be sent for your review. Additionally, field personnel are
required to complete a Daily Job Hazard Analysis Worksheet, which is included for your
review.
The culture of our company is such that safety is held as highest priority, our employees are
our greatest asset and we do everything we can to keep them safe. Our full time EHS
Manager is involved in all aspects of construction planning and makes job visits regularly to
ensure sites are safe and possible hazards are dealt with in advance. His resume is also
attached for your review.
Connell employees work as a group and our incidents are not tracked by project manager
but rather as a company as a whole.
11. Subcontractors
Connell Resources, Inc. is a full service site construction and heavy civil construction
company, our crews complete earthwork, utilities, minor concrete structures, aggregate
base course, and asphalt paving with our own aggregate and equipment. We pride
ourselves on our ability to provide a complete civil package to our customers, and
generally self-perform 85% of our contracted work. Our ability to self-perform so much of
our contracts allows us to maintain tight project schedules, and the limited number of
subcontractors minimizes interruptions in the schedule due to coordination difficulties.
Our longstanding presence in Northern Colorado has given us the opportunity to establish
strong working relationships with quality subcontractors for scopes we typically don’t
perform in house. Over the years we’ve been able to evaluate these subcontractors on
projects and establish relationships with those who uphold our quality and safety standards.
The following are subcontractor scopes we would use for the work presented in the scope
of services.
Connell Resources, Inc. would have to subcontract the following scopes for this project:
Concrete Paving
Pavers
Landscaping
Fencing
Structural Work
Electrical Work
