RE: Request for Proposal - 8274 Low Impact Development Implementation Manual
Dear Mr. Paul and Members of the Selection Committee:
MIG takes great pride in guiding sustainable and livable site planning, design and
implementation in Colorado and around the country. In fact, our mission is to create
environments, organizations and tools to support sustainable people and places.
Low Impact Development (LID) is a critical element of our practice and a large part of
developing long-lasting, quality places for this and future generations.
We are passionate about creating customized, user-friendly and durable manuals,
guidelines and standards as well. Soon after our firm’s creation over 30 years ago, we
embarked on our first of many technical manuals. The Play for All (PFA) Guidelines
Manual was designed by an interdisciplinary team of professionals in the fields of child
development, recreation therapy, education, law, landscape architecture and park
management. MIG has built on this early success with other manuals and guidelines,
including the Safety First Checklist, Plants for Play, Natural Learning, Meeting of the Minds,
Re:Streets, and countless municipal codes, guidelines and standards documents related to
sustainable and livable planning and design.
MIG is a unique planning and design practice in that we consistently keep one foot
in research and best management practices and one foot in planning, design and
implementation. Our team of over 229 professionals located througout Colorado and
the United States prides itself on advancing the practice through innovation, testing,
evaluation, revision and codification. Our in-house capacity to move from visioning through
implementation is critical to the development of sound manuals and guidelines.
It was at this implementation phase that we worked with the various departments and
agencies in Montgomery County Maryland. They had the LID policies and codes in place
but were stymied when it came to plan review and implementation. We were able to bring
various agencies to the table including state DOT officials in order to frame the next steps
and receive approval from Council to proceed using user-friendly graphics and BMPs from
ours and other work.
The recent merger of MIG and SvR Design has bolstered our team with civil engineer,
as well as additional planners and landscape architects that have led some of the most
innovative and sustainable projects in the country. Coupled with our local team planning
PLANNING / DESIGN / COMMUNICA TIONS / MANAGEMENT / TECHNOLOGY / SCIENCE
However we are not a manual or guidelines factory. We carefully seek out cities and
projects we feel are aligned with our approach, values and methodologies. We look for
communities and clients that expect high quality planning, design and deliverables and
settle for nothing short of innovative and cutting edge. Our selective approach allows us
to be very hands-on, with a high-level of Principal involvement and the ability to create
customized products.
We have looked carefully at the technical requirements and areas of emphasis of the
desired LID Manual work program and have selected a team of specialists with the right
training, expertise and experience. Our local MIG staff will be supported by several
industry leaders from our Seattle office. Likewise, our local graphic designer has access to
support from our firm-wide Communications and Media Services team.
MIG will be joined by Group14 Engineering for Triple Bottom Line analysis, materials
recommendations, lifecycle cost considerations and waste stream direction. Combined,
our team will provide the City with a deep bench of leading experts in community
engagement; low impact development; site design; urban design; sustainability; and
community health.
MIG acknowledges the receipt and reviewed the two addenda.
We are very excited about this opportunity, and look forward to sharing our ideas for an
innovative process and LID Implementation Manual with you in person. If you have any
questions or would like additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me at
and jayr@migcom.com or by phone at (303) 440-9200.
Sincerely,
Jay Renkens, AICP
Principal and Director of Denver Area Operations

TASK 3: GUIDANCE DOCUMENT DESIGN
DEVELOPMENT
MIG Principal and Interdisciplinary GSI Implementation
Expert Peg Staeheli will assist Principal-in-Charge Jay
Renkens in leading the preliminary brainstorming
meeting with the Fort Collins Project Steering
Committee and key Project Team members. Peg
is a Landscape Architect with experience leading
communities across the country through topics of
LID integration. Peg recently led an interdisciplinary
workshop on LID and mobility design for the City of
Calgary, Alberta.
The goal of the preliminary brainstorming meeting
will be to identify the top five barriers to LID
implementation and the top five land uses that will be
targeted for this LID Implementation Manual. This will
provide the Project Team with a focused pathway of
where construction level details are needed as well as
flexible design guidance.
LID Implementation Barriers may include:
• Need for local design experience
• Need for local construction experience
• Maintenance concerns
• Need for developer understanding of integrated
site planning
• Specific site constraints
• Inspector/Reviewer guidance
Focus areas may include:
• Institutional (School, Public Facility, etc.)
• Single Family Residential
• Multi-Family Residential
• Downtown Commercial/Mixed Use
• Adaptive Reuse
• Right-of-Way
The MIG Team will begin by assembling a portfolio of
existing City documents with related information and
direction and best practices from other areas. MIG
will then redline relevant aspects of these documents
to provide recommendations of policies, guidance
details and materials to be incorporated or adapted
into the Fort Collins LID Implementation Manual.
Using concepts from the existing documents, MIG
will develop a Manual outline. MIG will lead a working
meeting with City staff to review and update the
redlines and Manual outline. MIG will develop land
use templates as visual aids for a working meeting
with Fort Collins City staff. Schematically laying out
Best Management Practices (BMPs) on the land use
templates, like a paper doll with varying outfits, City
staff and MIG will work together to identify which
BMPs to incorporate for each land use scenario.
City of Fort Collins | Low Impact Development (LID) Implementation Manual A.3
Best practice documents may include
publications from:
• Keep It Clean Partnership
• Colorado Association of Stormwater and
Floodplain Managers
• Urban Drainage and Flood Control District
• Colorado Geological Survey
• U.S. Environmental Green Infrastructure Research
• Low Impact Development Center
• University of New Hampshire Stormwater Center
• National LID Clearinghouse
• North Carolina State University Stormwater
Engineering Group
• Puget Sound Partnership
• San Francisco Public Utilities Commission
• Seattle Public Utilities
• City of Tacoma
• City of Mesa
• Houston-Galveston Area Council
The 60% LID Implementation Manual submittal will
be a progress draft. Background and general text will
be filled in, leaving placeholders for specific narrative
portions that are still under development.
The draft will begin to integrate high quality photos of
different LID implementation and placeholders where
photos are not yet available. Land use scenarios, as
identified in working meetings, will be illustrated
schematically.
Context sensitive – not cookie cutter – details are
crucial for successfully implementing LID in the
unique Fort Collins environment. Technically precise
details with flexible design guidance can enhance the
capabilities of local designers.
Additional BMPs:
• Tree Box Filters
• Modular Suspended Pavement Systems
• Precast Bioretention Planters
Additional construction guidance can enable reviewers
and inspectors. After incorporating review comments
from the 60% submittal and receiving City finalized
drawings, calculations and planting lists, MIG will
provide a 90% Implementation LID Manual draft. This
draft will include full land use scenario graphics and
complete the placeholder portions of the 60% draft.
SCHEDULE
The following outlines a major milestone schedule
based upon the information provided in the Request
for Proposals and our team's experience with similar
projects. To achieve an aggressive timeline, it will
be critical that we establish a project schedule with

• MIG encourages bicycling to work by offering bike
commuter checks (since 2009 when the program
began); installing bicycle parking in many of our
office locations and maintaining a corporate ZipCar
account (since 2006). MIG is committed to locating
our offices within easy bike, walk, train and bus
opportunities in order to encourage greener,
healthier commuting options. MIG-Denver works
with employees on flexible work schedules and
facilitates tele-commuting. We also provide our
employees with ECO Passes at no charge to the
individual to encourage use of transit for the work
commute and other daily trips.
• MIG-Denver participates in an office share that
increases the efficiency and use of common
amenities like conference rooms, restrooms,
kitchen and kitchenette facilities, reception, etc.
• MIG developed, and follows, a written
Environmental Preferable Purchasing Policy,
overseen by an internal team that also monitors
water and energy usage and identifies ways to
further reduce it. This includes a local purchasing
preference (printing, meeting supplies, office
furniture, etc.).
• MIG uses recycled copy paper; purchase of refilled,
high-yield printer cartridges; eco-friendly cleaning
products, etc.
• MIG requires 100% recycling or reuse of copy
paper, cardboard and packing materials, batteries,
light bulbs and electronic equipment and
encourages paperless document management.
• MIG provides an in-office food waste composting
program in many of our offices that is managed by
our own employees.

Sustainability at Group14 Engineering
Group14 Engineering (Group14) is a certified
JUST organization. The International Living Future
Institute’s™ JUST™ program is a voluntary disclosure
program and tool. JUST is a call to social justice action
and provides an innovative transparency platform for
organizations to reveal much about their operations,
including how they treat their employees and where
they make financial and community investments.
Group14 began tracking their Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
Emissions in 2008 in order to better understand their
ecological impact. The assessment provided a baseline
against which the office could measure its progress in
achieving its goal towards optimal operations and in
achieving the 2030 Challenge of Carbon Neutrality.
TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE (TBL) METHODOLOGY
The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) is an accounting
framework that incorporates three dimensions of
performance: economic or financial; environmental
and social. While the environmental aspect of TBL is
inherently a focus of a LID Implementation Manual,
there are many additional TBL considerations that
our team intends to address throughout the manual
development process.
Early in the process, the MIG Team will work with staff
to brainstorm, identify and explore social, economic
and environmental indicators applicable to the
LID Manual effort identifying synergies with other
projects and balancing sustainability benefits. MIG and
Group14 will also discuss when during the process to
apply TBL analysis, recognizing the need to apply TBL
analysis early, and again to refine the contents of the
LID Implementation Manual.
Using the Sustainability Assessment toolkit, MIG
and Group14 will work closely with staff to evaluate
LID tools and techniques as well as potential
implementation strategies. The evaluation process
should engage a multidisciplinary team to provide
balance and various perspectives across myriad
sustainability topics, including but not limited to
community character, economic considerations, and
environmental factors as well as social needs and
opportunities. The results of the TBL evaluation will
be incorporated into a summary presentation that
provides decision makers with clear, concise and
comparative information on impacts and benefits.

TYPE OF COMPANY
California Corporation
MIG, Inc. is a multidisciplinary firm that provides
design, planning, management, communications and
technology services to public agencies, non-profit
organizations and private clients throughout Colorado
and the United States. Known for developing
innovative and sustainable design solutions through a
highly interactive and participatory process, the firm
specializes in landscape architecture, civil engineering,
urban planning and design, environmental and
ecological planning as well as community outreach
and engagement. Our in-house services also include
communications and media services with a team
of graphic designers and technical writers with
experience developing many publications.
Since it was founded in 1982, MIG has focused on
creating environments that support the healthy
and sustainable development of environments that
support our planet and human development. We
approach community design as more than locating
trees and placing facilities on a site. We believe that
a community’s green infrastructure is a cornerstone
of livability and serves a multitude of functions. We
approach projects from a contextual perspective
that involves integrating existing site features and
topography with a specific program of functions and
uses. For us, each project offers new opportunities to
develop innovative solutions to the complex design
challenges of today’s world. Our broad experience
implementing Low Impact Development (LID) provides
us with an understanding of what works and doesn’t
work in a variety of contexts.
To ensure the appropriate support and buy-in for
a project, MIG utilizes a participatory process that
generates a clear and collective framework of tools,
techniques and recommendations in a dynamic, yet
stable, environment. Through this process, client goals
and community interests work together to frame key
issues. In our experience, guidelines and standards
created through this approach enjoy broad-based
support and can be readily implemented.

Old Town Neighborhoods Plan
FORT COLLINS, COLORADO
MIG is assisting the City of Fort Collins in the
development of updates to the Old Town
Neighborhoods Plan. Working hand-in-hand with
community members and key stakeholders, the team
has developed a set of four vision elements. The vision
elements that are guiding the overall plan framework
and specific recommendations include connectivity,
diversity, livability and sustainability.
The sustainability vision element includes concepts
and recommendations for low impact development,
neighborhood greenways, integrated stormwater
management, and a variety of other sustainability
practices that can be implemented at the site
and neighborhood scales. MIG and City staff are
collaborating to develop a implementation strategy
that includes specific actions, responsibilities, costs
and phasing.
Outreach and engagement for the Old Town
Neighborhoods Plan effort have included stakeholder
interviews and focus groups, online surveys,
stakeholder meetings, staff technical team meetings
and larger community workshops in open houses.

King County CSO Barton Basin GSI
Study and Design
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
MIG is providing civil engineering, landscape
architecture and planning and design services for
the use of Green Stormwater Infrastructure (GSI) to
control CSO overflows in Seattle’s Barton Basin. The
improvements are an alternative to controlling CSO’s
by the conventional concrete storage tank approach.
MIG worked with the King County Wastewater
Treatment Division on utilizing GSI facilities
(specifically roadside bioretention/infiltration) for
CSO control. MIG’s work included a feasibility review
of retrofitting existing residential neighborhood with
GSI. The results of this work were presented to the
community and the County’s key decision makers
including the County Executive who selected GSI as
the preferred alternative.
As a continuation of the study, MIG continued work on
the improvements with King County, the City of Seattle
and the Washington State Department of Ecology.
The MIG Team conducted geotechnical investigations,
modeling calibration and initial permitting activities to
select the locations for GSI. Once technically feasible
locations for GSI were identified, a conceptual design
was developed and its performance reviewed using
EPA SWMM modeling. MIG completed 100% PS&E’s
and construction administration. Throughout the
design, MIG has partnered with King County in an
extensive community relations program targeting
area residents.

Kitsap Green Streets Program
Development
KITSAP COUNTY, WASHINGTON
MIG provided a broad, comprehensive programmatic
method to identify, prioritize and install Green Streets
throughout Kitsap County. MIG conducted interviews
with 24 staff members from utilities, roads division
and the departments of community development,
fire and administrative services. The results of the
interviews informed broad policy and procedural
changes documented in the Green Streets Plan. For
the plan, the team developed LID road standards and
streamlined a methodology for analyzing 1200 center
line roadway miles to determine their feasibility as
Green Streets projects. In addition to the analysis
methodology, the plan includes 20 projects prioritized
by their construction cost, stormwater treatment
potential and flow control benefits. MIG completed
a trial of the new County process by developing 30%
designs for three County Green Street projects and
identified potential capital budget and grant funding.

High Point Redevelopment:
LID Code Assistance/LID Manual
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
Using Seattle Housing Authority’s High Point
Redevelopment as the prototype, MIG provided
several levels of code assistance as Seattle integrated
LID approaches into subdivision and plat development
guidance. The MIG Team helped develop code
requirements for the plat; amend code conflicts;
develop Director’s Rules, maintenance requirements
and parcel-based site development guidelines.
New details for infrastructure were developed
and adopted into standard plans. To support the
guidelines MIG developed and/or modified a menu
of natural drainage technologies that kickstarted GSI
implementation across the country. These included
planted swales (conveyance furrows, flow dispersion
and spreaders), infiltration trenches (porous pavement
materials for walks, private drives and parking
lots), amended soils, rain gardens, disconnected
downspouts, splash blocks and enhanced tree and soil
protection. Working closely with Seattle Public Utilities
(SPU), MIG designed details and techniques that
eventually contributed to both the public right-of-way
manual green stormwater infrastructure details and to
the stormwater manual.

21st Street
PASO ROBLES, CALIFORNIA
21st Street is a commercial and residential street
near the Paso Robles Event Center, home of the
California Mid-State Fair. The street, one of four
railroad crossings in town, was established decades
ago in a natural drainageway. MIG’s civil engineers
and landscape architects prepared a concept plan for
five contiguous blocks of 21st Street, between Vine
Street and Riverside Avenue, transforming them into a
green, complete street that meets several objectives,
including:
• Containing the 10-year storm within the
street section
• Increasing groundwater recharge
• Improving pedestrian and bicyclist mobility
• Reducing sediment into the Salinas River
The project was awarded a $1 million dollar grant and
is now complete. Six months after completion, the
85th percentile speed along 21st Street had dropped 7
mph and the street has had no traffic accidents. Green
stormwater facilities have contributed to less frequent
and severe street flooding as well as increased
sediment removal from upstream drainage basins.
