RFP 8286 - WATER AND WASTEWATER FACILITIES CONTRACTOR 11 FUTURE PROJECT Project Approach and Estimated Hours Our recommended approach for the proposed project would be to identify all long lead items critical to the construction schedule as early as possible to begin procurement prior to construction. We have been told by the proposed centrifuge manufacturer the units will have an approximate 16-22 week lead time for fabrication and delivery which does not include the submittal process. We would also recommend including the new MCC’s based on our previous project experiences. Early procurement will need to be determined as soon as possible in the design phase so that a procurement work order can be executed to expedite the delivery of these items so as not to delay/extend the construction schedule. It is also imperative during the design phase that all electrical loads needing to remain in service during construction to be identified with plant staff and Carollo. Then we can determine how this will be coordinated and executed in the field along with durations associated with shutdowns necessary to make these temporary connections. Two areas we noticed for temporary power during construction would be the polymer feed system and chemical pumps as indicated on the existing MCC’s during the site visit. After the Notice to Proceed has been issued, we would begin with procurement of the remaining items critical to the schedule such as the overhead bridge crane, actuated plug valves, flow meters and remaining electrical equipment. Our initial schedule (found towards the end of this section) indicates these items having long lead times but not warranting them being procured during the design phase. Then, once mobilization has been completed, we would begin reconfiguring one of the existing glazing sections to accommodate the installation of a new overhead door for the centrifuge equipment installation and all future maintenance. The proposed overhead door would be less in width than that of the existing glazing section. We would propose to fill in this gap with a simple concrete wall and at the same time fill in the voids in the floor under the belt presses. We would recommend placing this concrete in one day to minimize subcontractor and pump truck mobilizations. Isolation and demolition of the existing sludge feed piping and unnecessary equipment would also take place getting it ready for the future connection. We would also begin work with the electrical subcontractor in coordinating the temporary power setup for the remainder of the construction phase to allow them to start the demolition process as well. Again, this will be coordinated and planned very early on with plant staff, Carollo, Hydro and the electrical subcontractor to minimize any impact this may have. We will coordinate and schedule the temporary power connections that best suits plant staff’s needs and minimize impact to process. Then the remaining construction items can be executed as indicated in the attached project schedule. Our approach would be to install the overhead bridge crane prior to the delivery of the centrifuges. This will allow us to use the overhead bridge crane in conjunction with our rough terrain crane to install the centrifuge units, minimizing the amount of time, laborer, equipment and material needed for installation. After the centrifuges have been installed then the remaining process piping and electrical can be completed, finalizing the construction of the critical path items. During construction, a very detailed and start-up & commissioning schedule would be created indicating critical milestones such as equipment checkout, manufacturer training, loop checks, profibus communication verification, system start-up and verification. Again, this is created with all key members including Carollo, Hydro, Electrical subcontractor, Owner’s project manager and plant personnel (maintenance, operations and ICE team). Our priority would be to provide a detailed schedule that does not impact existing plant operations, establishes realistic dates for equipment checkout & trainings, system verification and controls. This is critical to ensuring a smooth and successful start-up. Below are our estimated durations for the proposed construction divisions (please see the estimated project schedule at the end of this section for detailed item durations): • Construction/General Conditions = 5 months • Sitework (Demolition) = 2 weeks • Concrete = 2 weeks • Doors & Windows = 1 week RFP 8286 - WATER AND WASTEWATER FACILITIES CONTRACTOR 12 FUTURE PROJECT • Finishes = 3 weeks • Equipment = 2 weeks • Conveying Systems (Bridge Crane) = 2 weeks • Mechanical = 4 weeks • Electrical = 20 weeks Design Factors, Construction Factors, Potential Issues and Risk Factors Structural analysis of existing concrete floor to ensure no additional modifications are required to support proposed centrifuge units and overhead bridge crane • Identification of electrical loads required to remain in service during construction but are to be moved to new MCC’s • Identification and early procurement of long lead equipment critical to the construction schedule such as the centrifuges and MCC’s • Thorough site investigation to be performed by project team and plant staff to ensure all issues and concerns are covered under project scope • Proposed operation and control of two new centrifuges • Can the existing sludge conveyor handle the load if both centrifuges are in operation? • What is the expected operation of the existing centrifuges once the new ones are completed? • Will the propose centrifuge manufacturer be cooperative with ICE team’s requirements related to programming, controls and equipment used? • Determine if existing electrical switchgear is to be replaced • Can the existing feeder breaker be reused or does it need replaced? • Accessibility to polymer feed system and other solids handling processes during construction • Capacity or capability of existing polymer feed system with the addition of two centrifuges. • Will the existing system need to be modified? Our Approach to the Following Factors During Construction Construction sequences and schedules. An overall construction schedule would be created from the very beginning utilizing P6 software. The schedule would be created by the project manager and project superintendent assigned to the project resulting in a streamlined project execution and eliminating “hand-offs” between departments typical of the construction industry. The schedule and construction sequences stems from the estimate that is also generated by the assigned project manager and project superintendent. Both the estimate and schedule are created concurrently very early on in the design phase and throughout construction. Once the overall construction schedule has been agreed up by the project team, updates and changes are performed weekly with updated overall construction schedules being provided monthly. Once construction commences, detailed three week look ahead schedules are created by the project superintendent and distributed weekly for review during the progress meetings. These schedules encompass more details over the next three weeks highlighting contractor/subcontractor activities, detailed shutdowns/tie-ins, deliveries and other important information. You can find towards the end of this section an overall construction schedule for the Future Project that is broken down to the following phases: Design, Construction, and Start-up & Commissioning. The schedule indicates the main activities of work, including expected durations and relationships to various activities and gives you a representative idea of what to expect from our approach to construction sequences and schedules. Means and Methods Means and methods is a term to describe the day-to-day activities a contractor employs to complete construction in accordance with the Contract Documents. Our day begins with the creation of a JSA (Jobsite Safety Analysis) by the crews performing the task outlined for the day in conjunction RFP 8286 - WATER AND WASTEWATER FACILITIES CONTRACTOR 13 FUTURE PROJECT with the project superintendent’s approval. The JSA identifies any potential safety concerns and/or risk associated with the proposed task for the day and the tools and equipment required to mitigate these risks. The task outlines the area where the work is to be formed and what specific activity will be completed for the day. It includes identifying all the necessary tools, equipment and material to complete the task efficiently and safely. However, we’ve also learned from others in completing tasks more efficiently and safely by working together as a team and always striving to improve. Therefore, we are very involved during the design phase to offer constructability review and value engineering ideas to help the construction phase become more efficient and cost effective. We’ve highlighted some of these items and recommendations in the above Scope of Work and Project Approach for the proposed Future Project. Value engineering for the most cost effective solutions (placement and alignment of centrifuge including piping and structures). Value engineering begins very early in the design phase to help provide the most cost effective solutions. One example we would recommend would be aligning the centrifuge equipment in a north to south orientation based on a meeting we conducted with the proposed centrifuge manufacturer. This will allow us to reuse the existing solids conveying system without any modifications. This orientation also sets up the equipment to be in an optimum orientation for ease of operation and maintenance. We want to maximize the space available and provide as much room as possible to operate and maintain. We would recommend elevating the centrifuges on metal stands provided by the manufacturer or cast-in-place concrete pedestals and raise the units off the floor. This orientation would then allow us to bring feed and drain piping beneath the existing solids conveyor to the new centrifuges. The main advantage is that it allows one common discharge between both units that extends back to the east, utilizing the existing solids conveyor versus each centrifuge having its own discharge. We would also inspect all the piping, fittings and valves to be demoed with plant staff to help determine if any of it can be reused for the new connections to the new centrifuges. We can then utilize our Victaulic machine to custom fit all the pipe providing additional cost savings by not having to purchase all new pipe, fittings and valves. Another value engineering alternative would be to replace one of the sections of glazing in the upper level along the west wall with an overhead door to allow for easy installation/removal of equipment for any future maintenance or repairs. If not modified the glazing would have to be removed and reinstalled each time posing a concern with damaged glass that would need to be replaced and cladding that was damaged during this activity. We’ve also recommended the installation of an overhead bridge crane as you can see in our conceptual cost estimate and preliminary schedule. This would optimize the installation of the centrifuge equipment during construction. Obviously this is an additional project cost but we believe over the lifespan of the equipment, this will easily pay for itself through maintenance efficiencies. It would also minimize several safety concerns that coincide with normal maintenance and replacement operations. Input on factors such as cost, ease of installation, delivery schedule, quality, potential contracting or construction issues, possible materials and products that might be used. Most of our input on factors such as cost, ease of installation, delivery schedule, quality, potential contracting or construction issues, possible materials and products that might be used has been discussed in the sections related to Scope of Work, Project Approach, Design Factors, Construction Factors, Risk Factors and Value Engineering. Permitting. Our recommendation regarding permitting would be to ensure a letter indicating the scope of work and timeframe be submitted to CDPHE for reference. We do not foresee any other permit requirements needed based on the scope of work being completed and our previous experience working at the Drake Water Reclamation Facility. Working around existing facilities. The construction of this project takes place in a building that plays an important role in the solids treatment and handling process. We understand the need to perform this work with as minimal impact as possible to plant process. Anytime a shutdown or tie-in would occur, we would plan on doing so on the days solids handling is not occurring. We would also coordinate far enough in advance with plant staff to ensure that there is time to prepare for shutdowns needed such as allowing time for polymer batching to fill tanks or that solids have been processed and hauled off site. We discuss this further in the Coordination with plant personnel and processes section. RFP 8286 - WATER AND WASTEWATER FACILITIES CONTRACTOR 14 FUTURE PROJECT We will also put together a site plan indicating the areas of construction with appropriate PPE required for plant personnel and others to perform daily tasks in these areas. These areas will also be highly marked in the field with safety signs and other means to indicate limits of construction. We want to ensure everyone’s safety during construction but also provide accessibility to plant staff’s daily functions and minimize the impact to their responsibilities. We cannot stress the importance of communication in working around existing facilities, coordination with plant personnel and processes. Communication begins at the design phase with the project team and continues through construction until successful start-up and commissioning has been completed. Staffing and equipment. The proposed staffing and equipment necessary for the proposed Future Project is fairly minimal. The project is not very complicated requiring a large number of resources to complete. We have proposed using one project manager, one project superintendent and one field engineer for the duration of the project with the associated craftsmen and laborers as needed specific to the task being performed. The proposed project staffing and names have been identified throughout this proposal along with their proposed hourly rates. Along with minimal staffing requirements, the equipment requirement is even less. Other than the equipment identified in General Conditions, the only other major pieces of equipment required for the completion of this project would be a rough terrain crane to assist with the installation of centrifuge and electrical equipment. We have captured smaller equipment rental items within the individual activities of the estimate. Some of these smaller items include scaffolding, roust-a-bouts and a Victaulic machine. The small tools such as skill saws, hammer drills, wrenches, etc. are allocated in connex box rental of the estimate or identified specific to the activity. Subcontractors you would generally use. As you will see in this proposal, Hydro Construction has an extensive list of proven subcontractors familiar with the APDS delivery model. They have proven their ability to be flexible, adapt and overcome challenges in the field while still providing safe, quality projects on schedule and under budget. The following proposed subcontractors have extensive knowledge working on the Drake Water Reclamation Facility and also understand the necessary requirements working around existing facilities and working with plant personnel. We would propose Interstates as our electrical subcontractor, BEI for concrete and Coblaco for the main portion of subcontracted work. Partnering Partnering is the key to a successful project and begins from the very beginning before design takes place. We would recommend a partnering session prior to design for all the project members to establish the project goals including budget, schedule and overall expectations. We will develop tools for us to use along the way such as a decision matrix, risk matrix and establishing guidelines in we are to perform as a team. Equipment resources and availability. Hydro Construction owns and has readily available all necessary equipment to perform the work for this project. The equipment required for this project is minimal is as mentioned earlier and stated above under Staffing and Equipment. Coordination with plant personnel and processes. Coordination with plant personnel and processes would initially be identified within the Superintendent’s three-week look ahead. In conjunction with the three-week look ahead, a Method of Procedures or MOP will be used showing a step-by-step sequence of actions to be executed by the construction team and plant staff critical shutdowns and/or tie-ins. We anticipate there will be four instances during construction that a MOP will be used: 1. Shutdown and/or tie-ins to isolate the existing sludge feed piping so that new feed piping to the new centrifuges can take place. 2. Demolition and transfer of electrical components to temp power for MCC installation. This would also include the transfer of power from polymer feed and chemical feed pumps to temporary power. 3. Connection to the existing NPW line for the required flushing connections and chilled water connections to the new centrifuges. 4. Connection to the existing Centrate for the drain lines coming from the new centrifuges. As stated earlier, we will work with the project team to develop a detailed start-up and commissioning plan during construction that will be reviewed amongst plant staff. This is one of the most critical areas where extensive coordination with plant personnel and process must take place. We will also engage the ICE team early on to ensure programming is complete well before start-up and commissioning.

Lastly, Hydro Construction will review all aspects of the project and ensure that all risk elements have been identified and, if not reduced or eliminated, accurately anticipated and a mitigation plan created. Construction Services Hydro Construction, as a true general contractor will self-perform a majority of the work; earthwork, sitework, certain concrete elements, yard piping, process piping, process equipment and metals installation. We have developed highly effective systems for management, staffing, scheduling, cost and budget control with various reporting functions during and after the construction phase. We will, with others, monitor the progress of the work and ensure both quality control and quality assurance elements are being carried out as necessary. Our supervisory personnel will control all aspects of our ancillary efforts including stormwater management, dewatering, dust mitigation and other environmental management systems. Lastly, Hydro Construction personnel will have absolute control of all safety aspects of the project. We will develop a jobsite specific safety program and create daily JSAs. Start-up, Commissioning and Warranty Services The final step in each project will be to successfully bring the new facilities on-line. Oftentimes, the success of a project is ultimately dependent to a great extent on how effectively the facilities are put into operation at the completion of construction. We feel that training of operations staff and providing assistance during facilities start-up are two of the most important tasks involved in a project. A testing and start-up program that includes testing of new facilities, integration of new facilities with existing, and training of personnel will be developed. O&M manuals for new facilities will also be prepared and used during the start-up and training phase of the project. If required or warranted, Hydro Construction will arrange for all start-up training to be video taped for viewing by new staff or for refresher training at a later date. These videos can be integrated with digital O&M manuals if merited. New elements will be brought on-line as needed and in conjunction with current plant operations. When necessary, any warranty issues will be dealt with immediately and completely. Hydro will ensure that all project vendors and subcontractors are executing warranty obligations required and the project manager will follow up to confirm all issues have been addressed. Project Management & Responsibility The project manager and project superintendent will have the primary responsibility for the execution/implementation of all Hydro Construction related project elements. This responsibility will consist of proper allocation, coordination and management of human resources and any other resources such as material and budgets. Additionally, they will have the responsibility to observe the overall project execution so that potential problems can be identified in a timely manner and corrective action can be taken, when necessary. The project variables (cost, effort, scope, etc.) will be tracked against the set budget and variances will be identified and corrected when necessary. Communication Methods & Timeline It is at the top of our priorities to make sure that all project participants, especially the City’s project manager, are informed early and often on any issues related to the project including coordinated efforts, shut downs or activities that may interfere with the operation of the plant. The project management team will provide effective communication from project initiation through contract closeout. Our project management plan will include numerous meetings, scheduled on an as-needed basis as part of our standard project management routine. Hydro Construction utilizes additional tools such as the submittal log, procurement log, RFI log and pending issues log which are integrated into our project management software to identify the status of the various phases of the specific task (submittal received, transmitted, material status, estimate status, etc.). This information is tracked and available on-line so all members of the project team can easily access information when needed. RFP 8286 - WATER AND WASTEWATER FACILITIES CONTRACTOR 22 SCOPE OF PROPOSAL Schedule; Development and Maintenance Hydro Construction utilizes Oracle Primavera P6 software and Microsoft Excel to deliver you the most comprehensible and detailed schedule possible. The project team will prepare a detailed technical approach and work scope based on specific project requirements. Detailed critical path schedules will be updated on a weekly or as needed basis and made available to the team. The schedules will be organized under a work breakdown structure that will identify all work areas and supporting discrete tasks that add up to the entire scope of work. Activity durations will be assigned and interrelationships will be identified to create realistic and achievable critical path schedules. In order to cultivate the process of including subcontractors and suppliers and the schedule buy-in Hydro starts with contacting each supplier and subcontractor utilized on your project to discuss submittal and equipment lead times, necessary components required for on-site work to commence, current company schedule and total duration required on-site. We will also discuss the scheduled manpower for our project with each subcontractor . This enables a method of accountability for each company involved in the project. Many items will be taken into account when developing and changing the schedule. Again, Hydro’s goal is to minimize the effect of construction on the plant operation while maintaining an acceptable time-frame. Communication with the owner and engineer will aid in the development and sequencing of the overall construction schedule. Hydro maintains constant dialogue with all individuals involved with the project. This ensures the most up-to-date information at all times and allows for adjustments early on when an equipment’s or subcontractor’s schedule changes. Since the project has been shared with every entity involved early on and subcontractor and supplier schedules were taken into account when building the overall project original schedule, individuals are willing to supplement their labor or modify the order of work in order to work as a team and put meeting the overall project schedule as the main goal. Hydro finds that communication, early awareness, and sometimes flexibility are the key in overcoming challenges and maintain the original completion date. P6 is an extremely effective scheduling software and offers the ability to sort and filter any project in a wide variety of ways. This enables Hydro the flexibility to focus on certain areas of the project (i.e. critical path, subcontracted items, self performed items) and share those specific items with a subcontractor, supplier, owner or engineer. Hydro Construction utilizes additional tools such as the submittal logs and procurement logs mentioned above to identify the status of the various phases of the specific task (submittal received, transmitted, material status, etc.) and ensure accuracy in the overall project schedule. These controls and procedures provide both an indication of the progress and potential issues associated with a project. These tools and controls are very useful when projects are fast tracked or have critical deadlines. For example, we utilized the tools mentioned above to complete a fast tracked schedule in the Colorado Rocky Mountains over the winter and received substantial completion one week ahead of schedule. This project included the placement of over 550 cubic yards of concrete, equipment and piping installation, misc. metals installation, coatings, HVAC, electrical, instrumentation and controls and dome removal and replacement. This took constant communication with all of the suppliers and subcontractors involved as well as the owner and engineer. The entire team came together in order to fast track any items/tasks possible including submittal and equipment fabrication lead times and submittal review times and inspired flexible schedules to complete rebar inspections and equipment start-up and trainings. The end result was a quality product, completed safely, on-time and with strong relationships. Assigned Project Team ASSIGNED PROJECT TEAM 1.

Whether it is during the design phase, project construction, or commissioning; we want to ensure that each project is completed safely. Our success with safety in the water and wastewater industry has included unique demolition and equipment installations, diverse construction dewatering and excavation plans, and trenchless technology projects among the many water and wastewater treatment facilities and expansions we have completed. Hydro Construction was recognized for their success by being awarded the State of Colorado Department of Labor and Employment’s Workers’ Compensation Safety and Cost Containment award in 2011. Hydro Construction has been Cost Containment Certified since 2003. Safety Program Hydro Construction Company, Inc. maintains a strong, written safety program as a resource for complete team member involvement, training and pre-planning. Some key elements are as follows: • A Drug-Free Workplace • Pre-Employment Assessment Physicals • Identification of New Team Members (each new hire wears a green hard hat for the first year of employment) • Daily Pre-Task Planning & Hazard Analysis (completed every work day at every jobsite involving every team member) • Daily Stretch and Flex Program • First Aid & CPR Trained Personnel (every team member is included in this training provided every two years) • Competency & Training in several key areas (as part of Hydro University and offered to every team member): • Confined Spaces in Construction • Crane Operation, Rigging and Signaling • Fall Protection, Ladders & Scaffolding • Trenching & Excavating • Equipment Operation • Demolition Work • Weekly and Monthly Jobsite Safety and Accountability Audits At Hydro Construction, it is crucial that each and every team member goes home safe and unharmed every day. We must work together to plan ahead, eliminate hazards and prevent accidents before they happen. 5 SAFETY RECORD RFP 8286 - WATER AND WASTEWATER FACILITIES CONTRACTOR 29 Safety Success DWRF Digester Cover Replacement In 2015, Hydro Construction successfully completed a complex digester cover replace- ment, one of many projects completed for the City of Fort Collins, without incident. This project involved the demolition and replacement of a 75 foot diameter, floating lid on a 35 foot tall digester tank. To complete the task, special demolition work was necessary requiring implementation of special hygiene procedures and careful planning and rigging for the safe removal of the cover. Construction of the new cover commenced next to the digester by assembling, welding and coating the cover as one piece. This work required unique controls for safe and accurate completion. Finally, the cover was craned into place in under 30 minutes using a 500-ton crane and a properly executed lifting plan. Leadville Mine Gravity Filter Replacement In 2014, Hydro Construction successfully completed a time critical filter replace- ment for the US Bureau of Reclamation without incident. This project required the demolition and removal of a 25 year old gravity filter coated with lead-based paint. In order to ensure the work was completed as safely as possible, we introduced ultra-high-pressure (UHP) water cutting, alleviating atmospheric safety concerns. The filter was removed and replaced with new fiberglass tanks inside the treatment facility utilizing special crane and overhead fall protection equipment. Safety Metrics Experience Modification Rate Hydro Construction has consistently maintained a Worker’s Compensation Experience Modification Rate (EMR) under .90. Our EMR is currently .86 with the past three years as follows: 2015-.70, 2014-.71, and 2013-.84. The increase noted above from .70 in 2015 to the current EMR of .86 is primarily due to the single incident noted below under OSHA Citations. OSHA Reportable Incident Rate Hydro Construction’s OSHA reportable incident rates for the previous three years are as follows: 2015 = 12.4 2014 = 16.7 2013 = 3.4 Please consider the following information when comparing reportable incident rates between companies: The calculation used for computing this incident rate utilizes a company with 100 employees as a standard comparison; however, Hydro Construction averages less than 50 employees per year. Therefore, the reportable incident rate may only be a good comparison if you are comparing two companies with a similar number of employees. Also, due to the standard comparison, incident rates for companies that are smaller than 100 employees will traditionally be higher than companies who have more than 100 employees. For example, a company of 20 employees with two injuries in one year might yield a reportable rate of 9.52, while a company of 175 employees with 15 injuries would yield a lower rate of 8.16 using the same hours worked per week per employee. Utilizing the standard work hour comparison and the previous three years data for Hydro Construction, the rates would indicate that an average of three reportable cases occur per work year. Note that reportable cases can include anything requiring medical services as well as a simple doctor’s prescription for medication. 6 SAFETY RECORD RFP 8286 - WATER AND WASTEWATER FACILITIES CONTRACTOR 30 OSHA Citations Hydro Construction has only received one citation from OSHA in the previous three years. Following the completion of a concrete tank in Windsor, Colorado, an employee was struck and injured by a bundle of shoring frames that burst apart after cutting the metal bands that were holding the bundle together. This incident occurred in January 2015 and Hydro Construction received an Other-than-serious citation under OSHA Regulation 29 CFR 1926.250(a)(1) for material handling. Considering that Hydro Construction has maintained a low incident rate and has received very few OSHA citations in over forty years of operation, this incident was a serious cause for concern. Therefore, several immediate steps were taken to address the root causes for this incident. 1. Immediately following the incident, Hydro engaged and refreshed the employees in material handling training. Specifi- cally, for work involved in all of our water and wastewater operations. Material handling training continues today as a core course through Hydro University. 2. Hydro also introduced the daily task planning that continues to be utilized today, in order to identify and either eliminate or control hazards for each day of work. Employees also received in depth training on the task safety analysis process. 3. The necessity for OSHA 30 Hour training was emphasized for employees with leadership responsibilities in an effort to prepare our projects more adequately for any hazards that might be encountered. Since that time, seven additional staff members have received this training. 4. Behavior Based Safety initiatives were introduced as a means to evaluate safety performance in the field. “First and foremost, Hydro is a company filled with people who have integrity and who stand behind their work. It was WesTech’s experience that Hydro does what they say they will, when they say they will do it. Hydro exhibited tedious attention to detail in scheduling submittals, shipment, and field service.” Chad Miner Project Manager WesTech Engineering, Inc. Firm Experience FIRM EXPERIENCE 1.

As stated in the RFP please see the City’s questions below with our responses immediately following. RFP 8286 - WATER AND WASTEWATER FACILITIES CONTRACTOR 31 FIRM EXPERIENCE Please see the General Company Information section of this proposal for details related to similar construction projects completed by Hydro Construction over the past five years. We have identified owners and consulting engineers as well as the participation by key staff. The dollar value of work completed exceeds $100,000,000 with over 76% being completed via alternative delivery methods (negotiated contracts similar to Fort Collins APDS, Design/Build or CMaR); again the details regarding negotiated contracts are referenced in the General Company Information section of this proposal. In all cases, regardless of the project delivery model, Hydro Construction endeavors to follow teamwork and partnering methods on each and every project with similar owner/engineer/ contractor teams. We will illustrate some of those efforts later in this section. With respect to formal and informal partnering experience; Hydro Construction has worked under various types of projects with specific formal partnering goals as well as informal. The members of our key project staff have participated in numerous formal partnering training sessions during which the project team defines goals and objectives, identifies risk elements, sets criteria for evaluating performance and agrees on methods for resolving disputes. We strongly believe that these efforts and the resulting habits provide for a deeper understanding of everyones’ goals while ensuring all project participants are actively engaged in putting the project goals before those of the individuals or the individual’s company goals. Informal partnering, in our past experience, typically results when project partners agree that each participating entity understands that for the individual entity to succeed that the project must first be a success. Hydro has been successful in informal instances when we champion this idea early and often when available such as at the project preconstruction meeting, progress meetings and during other project events. With respect to specific references we would offer the following; City of Greeley Bellvue and Boyd Lake Water Treatment Plant Modification Package A This hard bid project, bid on December 22, 2015, called for improvements at both City of Greeley water treatment facilities. Work required at the Boyd Lake facility called for the removal of tube settlers and sludge collection equipment, major demolition of concrete structures, placement of new concrete structures, installation of new sludge collection equipment, installation of plate settlers and electrical improvements. Elements of construction at the Bellvue facility consisted of the complete reconstruction of ten media filters (two filters at once) requiring the removal of filter media (anthracite, sand and gravels), removal of underdrain system, cleaning of filter plenum, installation of new underdrains, coating of filters, and installation of new filter media and disinfection. The two phased, two plant project had a start date of January 13, 2016 and a completion date for phase one of April 1, 2016 and phase two of May 1, 2016; twelve weeks to complete $3.4 million in contract work with liquidated damages amounting to $10,000 for the first ten days and $25,000 every day thereafter. The considerable liquidated damages were a function of water demands and the potential of the City of Greeley having to purchase water with both of their facilities out of service or severely impacted by construction efforts. In the early stages of this project Hydro Construction was very outspoken regarding the near impossible task of completing $3.4 million in work in twelve weeks. We engaged the owner, engineer and plant staff early in the process and worked together in building the belief that for anyone to succeed individually we first needed to succeed together. Hydro produced an aggressive schedule showing the lead time for materials (most 10 and 12 weeks) would not allow for the typical submittal review, procurement and delivery. In most cases Hydro released the materials for fabrication and delivery prior to having submittals in hand. Hydro Construction worked with the engineer and revised certain design details that resulted in simpler construction and often times enhanced features. We worked closely with all subcontractors and communicated the need to meet or beat milestone dates; similar efforts were addressed with the various Hydro employees. I wish to extend my appreciation to you and the Hydro Construction team for accomplishing in the required time frame what appeared to be a virtually impossible task..... your staff never lost sight of pushing the envelope to work towards the common goal... Sam Boone, Project Engineer City of Greeley RFP 8286 - WATER AND WASTEWATER FACILITIES CONTRACTOR 32 FIRM EXPERIENCE Despite all of the challenges; ten and twelve week lead times for materials, owner procured equipment being delivered three weeks late and forty inches of snow hitting Northern Colorado between the notice to proceed date and the substantial completion date, the first phase of the project was delivered on time and the second phase was completed ten days early. In addition, approximately $196,000 of additional work was accomplished without an increase in the original project bid price. Afterward, the City of Greeley was convinced that the methods Hydro Construction introduced during this project were so beneficial they have elected to proceed with Alternative Delivery on the next two phases of work at these same facilities. Frisco Sanitation District WWTF This Construction Management at Risk (CMaR) project called for various phased improvements at an existing wastewater treatment plant at an altitude of 9100 feet. The treatment facility differs from most along the Front Range in that it does not experience a “low flow” season. Given the district’s location is in some of Colorado’s best ski country, the plant flows during the winter months stay relatively high. However the project team needed to account for this during the project and ensure all elements were constructed during operations and without affecting the plants treatment ability. Numerous elements were constructed during the winter months, for example the concrete aeration basin, while experiencing significant winter conditions including snows measuring in feet rather than inches. Other elements of construction which had to be addressed and overcome were the varying levels of Dillon Reservoir (the plants discharge location), active and popular bike and pedestrian trail through the construction area and the unique element of an active osprey nest in the vicinity of two phases of construction. All of the unique challenges were overcome and successfully addressed through informal partnering approaches and ensuring everyone understood the unique challenges of the project and what each challenge meant to the various separate entities. While the project experienced few issues when attempting to align elements similar to shutdowns and tie-ins, integration of new systems into existing SCADA, no safety events around active processes and the completion of the overall project within the scheduled time frame; probably the most valued by the district rate payers was delivering the project with a negative change order amount. Original contract value for all phases equaled $5,397,263, final contract value $4,868,943; while a monetary savings isn’t always an indication of success, when you realize a savings while still delivering an enhanced process, safety and quality it something the entire team can count as a significant accomplishment. Greeley CBT Turnout This project called for the installation of owner supplied 36” ductile iron pipe. The new buried pipe connected to a canal structure overseen by Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District and was directly under and over the top of the City’s steel and concrete pipelines that parallels the canal. In addition the concrete inlet structure had to be completed and backfilled in time for participant partners in the canal to receive water when available; on or about April 1st. Considering the number of conflicts and the tight time line the City of Fort Collins encouraged the City of Greeley to use Hydro Construction given our ability and knowledge associated with the City’s infrastructure. Hydro received notice to proceed on January 20, 2014 and completed the project by the April 1st deadline while dealing with specific challenges related to short time frame for material delivery and the unknown element of rock in the intended pipeline routing. This unique challenge required Hydro to quickly engage an outside consultant to outline a blasting plan, locate a qualified blasting contractor, and remove and reinstall the City of Fort Collins lines in order to mitigate any possible damage. They (Hydro) have the expertise to pull off a nearly impossible construction project, in a tight time frame, through the winter at 9,000 feet.....Hydro Construction is easy to get along with and always concerned about how the utility is operating under construction. I recommend them to you for any type of construction project. Butch Green, Plant Manager Frisco Sanitation District RFP 8286 - WATER AND WASTEWATER FACILITIES CONTRACTOR 33 FIRM EXPERIENCE Sterling Water Treatment Facility This project represented a significant expenditure in the City of Sterling’s answer to a 2008 EPA violation to the City’s water system. This $12,000,000 project was hard bid in April, 2011. One of the first questions Hydro Construction asked at the preconstruction meeting was “what keeps the owner and engineer up at night when thinking about this project”. It was through that effort and the ongoing and consistent effort of teaming and partnering with not only the owner and engineer but also the plant staff who would be running a new 9.6 million gallon per day reverse osmosis treatment plant in conjunction with deep injection wells (in excess of one mile deep) and new distribution mains. Throughout the construction the project team met or exceeded the goals established for this cutting edge project; the project received varying regional and national awards of excellence. The City of Sterling was so satisfied with the initial project that they elected to pursue the next phase of construction, the actual deep well injection system, via a CMaR delivery with the project engineer and Hydro Construction. Members of Hydro’s staff provided conceptual cost estimates, schedules, value engineering and a final GMP as a member of the design team. The second phase of the project was constructed on time and under budget and operates as an excellent example of the results obtained when alternative delivery is used and the project partners understand what keeps other project partners up at night. Wellington WWTP This wastewater treatment plant for the Town of Wellington was completed under a CMaR delivery model. Hydro was placed under contract early in the project conception. We provided realistic conceptual cost estimates to the Town that they could rely upon to obtain project financing. We also provided a project schedule that helped the rest of the project team identify which equipment procurement items and which design elements needed the most attention early in the projects life. As the project design elements became more refined as time pasted (30% to 60%, 60% to 90%, etc.) Hydro updated the schedule and budget to reflect the changes and assured the other project participants that the project was proceeding as needed to meet set project goals. The final contract value does not reflect an actual contract savings of approximately $140,000 due to the fact the Owner elected to use the funds to replace a bar screen not part of the original project scope. They (Hydro) were instrumental in not only constructing the plant, but in all commissioning phases....they (Hydro) truly exceeded my expectations in all aspects.

Future Project Pricing The following table outlines details related to markup application to values provided in the RFP. Project Budget and Cost Control We are committed to accurately forecasting construction costs throughout the entire design phase ensuring the project will be constructed at or below budget. We will provide estimates at the various design stages using similar project costs recently completed, incorporating subcontractors and suppliers to ensure realistic and accurate cost estimates. We will also provide cost comparisons between 30%, 60% and 90% to help control costs and create/monitor a design change log to eliminate “scope creep”. We’ve found these tools imperative for controlling cost during the design phase of the project. Our commitments to reducing costs and provide value engineering does not stop after the design phase is completed and the approach remains the same through the life of the project. As an example, during the MWRF 2008 Improvements project, the design was approximately 60% incorporating three new structures for the blowers, RAS/WAS and electrical equipment. We offered the idea to retrofit the existing Aeration Basin, which was to be demoed, as a potential cost savings alternative and RFP 8286 - WATER AND WASTEWATER FACILITIES CONTRACTOR 36 FINANCIAL INFORMATION house all of the equipment within one structure. This resulted in eliminating the construction of three new structures, reusing an existing basin and deleting demolition bringing the projected construction costs down during 60% design. Again, same project but during construction, five feet of structural fill was required between the concrete basin slab and bedrock. Hydro proposed creating structural fill from the excavated material on site thus reducing the cost of structural from $25.00/ton imported from local aggregate supplier to $18.00/ton generated on site. It is our philosophy that reducing costs and being innovative begins during the design phase and ends when start-up and commissioning has been completed. Our approach to be transparent/open book is a requirement for a majority of the projects we’ve completed. All of the estimates created during the various phases are provided for review, detailing costs, markups and profit. Subcontractor and supplier quotes are made available for review with the project team, especially related to decisions needed for purchasing long lead items. During construction, costs are tracked and monitored through a variance report distributed on a monthly basis to provide current up to date construction costs and identify potential cost overruns and/or savings. In conjunction with the variance report, a pending issues log is created and used to help identify cost savings created during construction and add “wish list” items to be added if the savings generated allow it. As a result of this process and tools used, we are able to deliver cost-effective construction projects and provide the highest level of support to our clients each and every time. Please refer to the sample pre-construction cost estimate showing detail at the 30% design level for the MWRF Redundancy project at the end of this section.

The average age of our equipment is five years. On occasions when we use outside sources, we have been able to rely on our excellent relationships with several local rental equipment vendors. As a testament to these relationships, Wagner Equipment has frequently delivered needed equipment within three hours when necessary. Other equipment vendors continually provide certifications on forklifts, manlifts, and material lifts for all our employees. This ensures that trained and certified professionals perform the needed certifications and inspections, which translates to higher safety, reduced liability and lower costs. Our equipment is task suited, insuring very few idle pieces. Our equipment is based, maintained and repaired locally. This results in reduced mobilization costs and reduced down time when maintenance or repairs are needed. This assists in maintaining a low overhead and translates into lower project costs benefiting the project owner.

We have provided additional information and highlights related to five specific projects in Section G of this proposal. The project matrix provided below outlines additional projects similar to the intended work covered by the City’s project outlined in the RFP. We have also provided a project highlights section after the matrix to identify unusual factors and elements associated. Michigan Ditch Improvements Key Members; Tom Noble, James Eurich The three phase project called for the construction of various concrete structures along the City’s trans-mountain water supply asset. The Michigan Ditch is located at approximately 10,240 feet in elevation and the construction season is very limited, the location is remote and materials are very challenging to procure. Despite all of these limitations the project team was able to complete all structures with design beginning in June and construction finishing the end of October. Owner Reference: Cliff Hoelscher (970) 222-3029 Engineer Reference: Chris Pletcher (970 223-5556 Dillon Valley WTP Key Members; Samantha Bair, James Eurich This 1 mgd membrane treatment facility was constructed in and around an existing treatment facility. The project had extremely tight site conditions and a great deal of attention had to be given towards keeping treatment operational the entire time during construction. Hydro was selected early on in the projects design phase and provided estimating and scheduling assistance that ensured the overall project budget was never exceeded and the schedule was controlled by identifying project elements that needed to be pre-procured prior to construction. The change order items for this project were Owner requested process enhancements consisting of SCADA modification and instrumentation. Owner Reference: Matthew Willitts (970) 262-0217 Engineer Reference: Tom Satchell (303) 249-2835 Ridgen Reservoir Key Members; James Eurich This project had several unique challenges; items associated with the pump station consisted of procurement and delivery times in excess of 20 weeks, structure excavation depth exceeding 30 feet and constructing concrete structures in existing channels. In addition three separate general contractors, three separate engineering groups and numerous RFP 8286 - WATER AND WASTEWATER FACILITIES CONTRACTOR 46 CONSTRUCTION PERFORMANCE City departments had to come together and function as a highly efficient team in order to ensure this project would meet the challenging project goals outlined by City management. Hydro Construction participated as a member of the resulting successful team by identifying critical schedule elements, providing reliable and up to date costs estimates, ensuring productive communication between all parties and giving close attention to the quality aspects required by members of the City’s Water Reclamation staff and ICE Team. The negative change order resulted from small savings create by value engineering efforts. Owner Reference: Cliff Hoelscher (970) 222-3029 Engineer Reference: Don Silar (970) 482-5922 Windsor 3 Million Gallon Tank Key Members; Chad Oeltjenbruns, James Eurich This post tensioned concrete tank was a new addition for the Town of Windsor. The project was sited next to an existing tank, pump station, existing piping and an active oil well drilling site. It required unique coordination of all City personnel and personnel related to the drilling site while maintaining concrete truck traffic in and out of the site during concrete placements lasting 6 to 8 hours (8-10 trucks per hour). Hydro personnel offered a significant amount of effort related to concrete quality control by monitoring concrete water/cement ratio and ensuring maturity meter probe placement and monitoring which are critical to the overall quality on structures of this type. The change order amount assessed to this project was Owner requested for additional piping elements. Owner Reference: Dennis Wagner (970) 674-2406 Engineer Reference: Kit Bader (303) 980-8562 Drake South Process Train Key Members; Stan Javernick, Chad Oeltjenbruns, James Eurich This City of Fort Collins alternative delivery project (APDS) was completed in November 2015 despite having several challenging issues arise during the projects construction. The project experienced the need to modify several piping and duct bank elements; however the most significant event was the discovery of varying subgrade claystone layers underlying the overall structure. When the excavation was completed and inspected by the geotechnical engineer, it was determined that the design for the foundation would have to be modified to include drilled caissons. This event resulted in a schedule interruption and basin re-designs. The final revised design included forty-two 24” diameter caissons twenty-five feet in depth. While the project contract value required a change order amount of approximately $249,000 the project was kept on schedule and completed on time despite the significant time delay associated with re-designing the basin and construction implementation. Owner Reference: Link Mueller (970) 221-6884 Engineer Reference: Nathan Brown (303) 291 2139 Pleasant Valley Pipeline Sedimentation Basin Key Members; Chad Oeltjenbruns, James Eurich This fast tracked project was conceived, designed, constructed and brought on line in the same time it would normally take to procure the five slide gates incorporated into the project. In February of 2013 the City of Fort Collins contacted Hydro Construction and Connell Resources; they laid out the need for a sedimentation basin prior to the screening equipment on the Pleasant Valley Pipeline. The City stated that the corresponding ditch supplying the water would begin transmitting water on April 1st and the team had less that forty five days to construct the sedimentation basin concrete inlet structure (the structure which would need the slide gates which typically take eight weeks to fabricate and deliver) and fifty five days to construct all of the additional project elements. The project team was quickly assembled, critical elements of design established, critical elements of construction procured and the balance of design and construction scheduled. RFP 8286 - WATER AND WASTEWATER FACILITIES CONTRACTOR 47 CONSTRUCTION PERFORMANCE As the lead contractor on the project, Hydro Construction was responsible for developing a critical path schedule that kept all project partners informed and held accountable when any element started to eat up valuable time. In addition, the project team had to formulate an overall project budget and stay in constant communication with others outside of the project group on progress and project completion. Despite all the challenges; incredibly short construction duration, designing elements as they are being constructed, long lead times for critical elements and the third snowiest May in the City’s history (Fort Collins Coloradoan 7/7/13) all elements of the project were completed on time and under budget due to value engineers modifications accomplished during construction. Owner Reference: Owen Randall (970) 221-6809 Engineer Reference: Robin Dornfest (970) 373-3195 Commitment to Quality Hydro Construction’s commitment to quality and attention to detail is one of the foundational pillars upon which our company is built and in fact it is one of our primary core values. Quality is important for several critical reasons and the following are two of several metrics we track which we believe demonstrates our commitment and corresponding results. • 76% of our contracts over the past five years are the result of being chosen by our clients as part of a qualified based selection process; without the mentoring, training and ensuring attention to detail is the act of every member of the Hydro team we would not enjoy the significant frequent benefit of being selected over others in our industry. • Our warranty expenditures over the same five year period equal less than $33,760 (.03% of the ~$107,000,000 in project value completed, standard for our industry is 2%); Hydro team members ensure that the work is done right the first time. The members of the Hydro project management team spend a great deal of time focused on determining the various goals of all project participants. This efforts yields results when we fully understand what is needed to deliver the project on time and under budget; a goal our clients management staff insists upon. We understand that the final product needs to be comprised of materials of low maintenance and equipment that works every time and when it does need maintenance or warranty support we have selected manufactures and local representation that will support that effort; a goal of each and every Clients’ staff member. The project management team will provide the highest level of detail to every element of the project management tasks. Scheduling and cost estimating will be accurate and comprehensive not only during the final stages of design but also at the conceptual, thirty and sixty percent design stage; a goal of all other project participants when we are making critical yes/ no decisions based on how the estimates are comparing to the overall budget. The project management staff will formulate schedules which can be relied upon at every stage of the project as a tool to accurately forecast which elements of design need early attention and to what degree, determine which project components need early procurement and how the overall scheduled, including tie-in tasks will effect plant operations and how the construction effort needs to align with plant operations which take precedent over the construction effort; again, a goal of all project participants when making critical scheduling decisions, especially those that involve partial or total plant shut-downs. We will ensure our project management efforts offer attention to detail related to value engineering, constructability review, submittal generation and product and equipment procurement; something our engineer partners value to ensure the entire team is delivering a final project that is best in class while not having to spend effort assisting a contractor clarifying the elements that should be straightforward. Over the past fifteen years Hydro Construction has expended a great deal of effort towards developing a Quality Assurance Program. This program encompasses every aspect of the construction cycle from project mobilization to process commissioning. The program contains elements in excess of 200 pages comprised of checklists, informational procedures and testing standards. It outlines procedures and standards that ensure Hydro’s construction efforts are over and above the typical project specification document and beyond what most of our owner and engineering partners expect. We frequently hear from those same partners: “Why are you doing that, it’s not in the specification?” or “We don’t normally work with contractors that think about that”. Safety and Quality are the first actions of each and every employee. Hydro Construction Company, Inc. Core Values RFP 8286 - WATER AND WASTEWATER FACILITIES CONTRACTOR 48 CONSTRUCTION PERFORMANCE Additionally, Hydro Construction engages insurance and bonding partners to provide surety and liability coverages for our project’s clients. When they perform their annual review/audit of our standards and procedures and we illustrate process we go through to ensure we are not exposing them to undue risk or danger we typically hear “You are doing things companies ten times your size aren’t.” Even with all the steps in place, each member of the Hydro team believes we can always get better. We have systems in place to ensure we are delivering a quality, However, that does not mean we can’t learn from others and elevate or methods to the next level through new systems or technology. Doing things the same way as we always have doesn’t mean it’s the right way. We will continually strive to look for new opportunities to deliver a product that is better than the last; in safety, quality, delivery experience, performance and longevity. The questions asked by Hydro during the walk-through showed a high degree of sophistication, experience, and expertise. Fortunately for me, Hydro “won” the project and my early impressions have proven true throughout the contract. Chuck Reid Town Manager Town of Fraser SUSTAINABILITY/TBL METHODOLOGY Sustainability/TBL Methodology • In no more than two (2) pages please describe how your organization strives to be sustainable in the use of materials, equip- ment, vehicles, fuel, recycling, office practices, etc.. Address how your firm incorporates Triple Bottom Line (TBL) into the workplace, see below in Section IV: Review and Assessment for additional information. As stated in the RFP please see the City’s questions below with our responses immediately following. RFP 8286 - WATER AND WASTEWATER FACILITIES CONTRACTOR SUSTAINABILITY/TBL METHODOLOGY Sustainability From the construction field to the office, Hydro Construction strives to be sustainable in everything we do. We have a responsibility and commitment to reduce our ecological footprint. From material selection, equipment selection/utilization, recycling, and anything else we can do to minimize our impact as a company to the environment during construction is a priority. One of the practices used on every job is recycling. From field office paper, plastics and cardboard to metal and concrete associated with demolition. As an example the MWRF Improvements project generated over 500,000 lbs. of metal to be recycled. Other projects included the DWRF SPT Improvements that accounted for 541,000 lbs. recycled and the Frisco WWTP at 218,000 lbs. recycled during construction. Also, the money generated from our recycling efforts on the project is redistributed back into the project’s budget giving the owner flexibility of adding additional enhancements to the project. Concrete and asphalt removed during construction is also hauled to various aggregate suppliers and repurposed into usable material such as road base and other types of material. We also reuse material from the demolition phase of construction in the actual project construction. An example is the DWRF Centrifuge Feed Project where approximately 80% of the piping, fittings and valves used during construction came from the demolition phase. Plant staff was able to identify all the useable pipe, fittings and valves prior to demolition, greatly reducing the amount of new material required for construction. Also, during the design phase we work closely with the project team to reduce or eliminate the need for constructing new facilities, reducing our need for new materials and resources by utilizing or repurposing existing structures. We were able to achieve this on the MWRF Improvements project and we are in the process of working with the DWRF team and Carollo to repurpose the existing chlorine contact basin for the installation of the new UV equipment. Hydro Construction’s average age of our equipment fleet is less than five years. We are very adamant about the care and maintenance of our equipment because it’s a key resource for us and to the clients who depend on the reliability of our equipment. All of the newer equipment equipped with diesel engines are Tier 4 rated with the expected replacement of older equipment to follow the same requirements. The equipment is also tracked remotely through a computer program to monitor equipment efficiencies, fuel consumption and equipment idle times to help educate and train our operators. Our effort in minimizing our ecological foot print extends well beyond the construction sites and into the office operations. We’ve incorporated several programs to reduce the amount of paper generated in our office and help us become more efficient as a company. All invoices generated from construction activities are coded electronically in the field and sent to accounting. Subcontractors and suppliers are also required to send invoices electronically if capable. We no longer require hard copies for submittals and O&M manuals and all of our jobs are set up electronically either with programs provided by the Owner and/or Engineer or per our recommendation utilizing our Sharefile site. Internal office policies have been established such as recycling and defaulting printer settings to print in black & white and 2 sided when printing operations must be performed. Some of our meetings are being performed through “GoToMeeting” eliminating the need for employees traveling to the office and helping to reduce our carbon footprint. Triple Bottom Line People – Hydro Construction Company, Inc. (HCCI) takes great pride as a local, employee owned business, and strives to build up our local community by building up employees within our organization. HCCI believes each employee is the reason for our success and the definition of who we are as a company by the integrity and quality of the individuals. HCCI’s company culture begins with attracting highly qualified employees through competitive compensation, benefit packages and supportive wellness and safety environment. We are not only committed to their long term financial stability but also their health and mental wellbeing. Several different programs are implemented to promote overall employee wellbeing, including Pinnacol’s Virgin Pulse program and HCCI’s own personal fitness trainer, Michelle Stout, to encourage, educate and challenge each individual’s wellness goals. Our employees routinely compete in monthly health challenges provided by Pinnacol as well as monthly health challenges developed by our internal Wellness Committee. Several employees have taken it upon themselves to develop internal groups regarding leadership development, Hydro Investment Club (HIC) and others opened to anyone within in our company. RFP 8286 - WATER AND WASTEWATER FACILITIES CONTRACTOR SUSTAINABILITY/TBL METHODOLOGY Planet – Refers to sustainable environmental practices as demonstrated above. As part of a larger community, it’s important that we think of the environment as we approach a project. Our responsibility lies in demonstrating to future generations the importance and constant pursuit of excellence. Even as each employee makes up our organization as a whole, each employee also gives support as a member of society. One of HCCI’s core values is to develop and execute ways of giving back to the community in which we live and work. In doing this, HCCI has partnered with several local entities such as RamStrength, Foothills Gateway, Larimer County Food Bank and many others. Hach is a recent organization Hydro Construction has teamed with in the last couple of years in contributing to their “Walk for Water” event. This event is used to promote awareness regarding the global water crisis and collect donations to provide sustainable water treatment systems for struggling communities around the world. Last year’s event raised enough funds to complete a water treatment system for a school community in province of Munami, Kenya in Africa. HCCI has also established our own traditions of giving back with events, like “Hydro Royal”, and The Hydro Construction Charitable Fund that matches employee donations to local nonprofit organizations. In an ever evolving society, HCCI continues our commitment to make a positive impact in the Fort Collins community and to embed it in our company culture. Profit – The economic benefit to the communities in which we live and work in. One of our core values is to “develop and execute ways of giving back to the communities in where we live and work.” While we can positively impact others through the services we provide, we also continually strive to extend that involvement beyond our projects. The Hydro Construction Charitable Fund, a component fund of the Community Foundation of Northern Colorado, was established with the goal of creating positive, long lasting impact on the areas which it serves. Examples have been mentioned above but also include; Grit Athletics, Geometry in Construction, Fort Collins Rotary Club, NoCo Unity, CSU Internships & Sponsorships and Poudre Valley Hospital to name a few. Our community involvement extends well beyond the reaches of Larimer County with the focus of giving back to the communities in which we work in as well. Our water treatment facility reflects a cost-effective design reflective of the needs of our community.... Because of our satisfaction with the performance of Hydro on the water treatment facility, the partnership of the Town and Hydro was continued for the design and building of our new wastewater treatment facility.
