Project Controls
As part of our on-going efforts to manage
program costs, PM Gary Maji, with input from
Principal-in-Charge Alan Eckman, will prepare a
Project Execution Plan (PXP), which the entire
team, including subconsultants, will use
throughout the project to control cost, quality, and
schedule. The PXP contains the City’s scope,
design standards and criteria, budget, schedule,
health and safety plan, and protocols for quality,
communication, and documentation. Our
experience with the City and previous work on
similar On-Call task order contracts gives us an
unsurpassed ability to control cost and schedule.
Our program management experience with the
CDOT’s Colorado Bridge Enterprise and the
Portfolio Management Program provides a
valuable perspective in reducing construction
costs through alternative and innovative project
delivery methods and design process and procedures, respectively. The following sections define and assign staff for
our approach to project controls.
Consultant Costs (Gary Maji)
AECOM will control consultant costs by providing a flexible, technically competent, and cost-effective
staff to support the City. This approach has been successful on other previous on-call assignments,
including our City of Denver, City of Boulder, Larimer, and Boulder County Flood On-Call contracts.
We will effectively monitor and manage project cost using AECOM’s ePM software. This management
software provides real-time updates on the budget by task and identifies areas of concern so our task
managers can recommend mitigations. Additionally, project costs can be reduced by conducting
teleconference and on-line meetings that allow on-screen information sharing and electronic deliverable
transfers.
Construction Costs (Gary Maji and Task Managers)
AECOM has proven experience in controlling construction
costs on transportation projects along the Front Range. For
example, we have directed several Value Engineering (VE)
studies for CDOT Region 4 that have provided over $3.7
million in potential construction cost savings, including SH
392 over I-25 Re-Design ($1.11-million savings); I-76 Phase
III ($1.26-million savings), and I-76 Phase IV ($1.33-million
savings). Exhibit 4 demonstrates our ability to control
construction costs.
AECOM has successfully managed costs through our understanding of key construction cost drivers for
City projects, including:
• Evaluating effects of innovative contracting on program costs
• Reviewing long-lead risk elements, such as ROW and utility/canal agreements, and identifying
long- lead bid items
• Special provisions that define specialized construction
• Researching material availability
• Contractor consultation to determine construction methods feasibility

at progress meetings. We will add resources or modify the work plan to prioritize critical-path work items. We use all
types of software to create a critical path schedule, with Microsoft Project being the likely software for less complex
assignments. Our attention to the project schedule will deliver the service when you need it, and help control project
costs.
We understand each task order will have a unique timeline; but many will have several of the following key schedule
drivers including:
• Maintaining project momentum with both full-service and blended team project teams
• Accurate project scoping to minimize scope change management delays
• Local agency/stakeholder coordination and/or involvement
• NEPA environmental clearances
• ROW requirements
AECOM’s project controls will be used by the team to monitor design progress, discuss project action items and
outstanding issues, evaluate interim and ultimate construction cost estimates, confirm that project submittal quality
processes are in place, and validate that the project design is tracking on budget and within the proposed schedule.
Quality Assurance Plan and Procedure, (Pat McNamara)
AECOM knows how to
deliver assignments and
understands the importance
of managing projects with a
focus on documented
compliance. AECOM is ISO
9001:2010 compliant and employs a Quality
Management System (QMS) designed to generate
client satisfaction, manage technical risk and deliver
quality documents to our clients.
AECOM’s Project Delivery System (PDS), which is
part of our Quality Management System, is an
interactive working web page that encompasses the
planning, execution, and closure of each project. It is
easy to follow, contains detailed instructions for each
step, and links to forms, guidance, and tools. This
system mandates that all projects include project
work plans, project- specific design criteria, design
task protocols, and QA/QC documentation. QC activities will be the responsibility of our quality manager, Pat
McNamara, PE. Our contract manager will work closely with Pat to meet both the City’s and AECOM’s strict
quality standards.
Our team’s demonstrated ability to communicate with clients and stakeholders to gain consensus on design
concepts and solutions is a critical ingredient in delivering top quality and award winning projects, see Exhibit 5,
with solutions conforming to City procedures that provide the best value for the City’s investments.
Innovations and Efficiencies
AECOM’s successful project delivery is a result of hard work, pro-active communications, and well-planned designs
that employ project innovations and cost-efficiencies. The following table highlights innovations and cost-efficiencies
to be considered that could provide value to the City.

Scope: AECOM performed preliminary and final design services for this CDOT Faster Safety Project that included 14-miles
of pavement overlay, shoulder widening, and structure rehabilitation. This rural corridor serves as a regional bike route and
was completed within 6 months of receiving design survey.
Client Benefits: AECOM’s ability to respond quickly and cost-effectively produced advertising documents that allowed
CDOT to plan, budget, and coordinate with its disciplinary staff more efficiently.
Commendation: “Based upon my career experience of managing and working with consultants, the AECOM team’s ability
to provide high quality plan packages and efficiently manage project schedules and budgets is unsurpassed.” Paul Westhoff,
CDOT R2 PM
Sustainability
A sustainable world depends on physical and social infrastructure that advances economic opportunity, protects our
environment and improves people’s lives. At AECOM, we draw on the technical expertise of an unprecedented range
of professionals – from planners and ecologists to designers and engineers – to more fully appreciate the bigger
picture, connect better ideas and find smarter solutions.
Our greatest opportunity to shape the future is managing the complex economic, natural, social and human investments
our clients' infrastructure assets represent. Whether we’re reducing greenhouse gas emissions, developing new ways to
conserve water, or helping our clients prepare for tomorrow by lessening their impact today, our commitment to
sustainability drives innovation, reduces risk and provides attractive project life cycle returns on investment.
With over 85,000 employees on job sites and
in offices in 150 countries around the world,
we have a significant opportunity – and
responsibility – to not only lessen the impact
of our work, but begin to think about how we
can work to enhance and restore natural and
social systems. To operationalize this
commitment, AECOM recently announced an
industry-leading greenhouse gas reduction
target of 20% by 2020. We are on track to
exceed that target through ongoing initiatives
aimed at our two largest sources of emissions
– workplace electricity/heating and fleet fuel
use. For our workplace efficiency initiative,

content/uploads/2016/08/AECOM_2015_Sustainability_Report.pdf), annual disclosures to the United Nations Global
Compact program, and to the CDP Climate Change Program.
AECOM has the world’s largest resilience practice with over 1000 employees in planning, design, environmental, and
consulting driving risk reduction around the globe and systematically include triple bottom line co-benefits for people
and communities, environmental sustainability and economic stability and growth wherever possible. AECOM is a
strategic partner to the following initiatives:
• Rockefeller Foundation’s 100 Resilient Cities
• UN Risk Reduction Program – we developed a Resilient Cities Scorecard with IBM for the UN that is
open source so it is free around the world
• NIST Community Resilience Guide – we developed this as a pro-bono initiative to encourage
community resilience
At the local level, AECOM’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in a mission statement for the new Greenwood
Village office that demonstrates the value of sustainability and resilience. We selected an existing building to capture
embedded energy rather than pursuing a new build for 550 Denver Metro area employees. The LEED certified
building incorporates many green-build features such as low VOC and high recycled content construction materials.
We encourage alternatives to single-occupancy vehicle commuting by offering a fitness room and safe bicycle storage,
free employee shuttles to and from the RTD stop in Greenwood Village, subsidized transit passes, and flexibility in
telecommuting options. We recycle in all of our Colorado offices, and some AECOM offices participate in
composting. The kitchens are stocked with ceramic dishes and cups and are equipped with efficient dishwashers to
reduce waste generation. We are systematically moving to computer-based reviews of plans and documentation to
reduce the environmental footprint of printing; to aid in this, each workstation is equipped with two 14”x24” computer
monitors. We recently eliminated the use of desktop printers to dramatically decrease energy consumption.
Our staff contributed to the Colorado Resiliency Framework and actively supports Colorado Resiliency Working
Group subcommittees. AECOM co-hosted the Colorado Resiliency and Recovery Office’s 2016 Public-Private Sector
Resilience Workshop. We host community service, recreational and social time for employee engagement with the
community and with one another. In 2016, our Great Places to Work initiative had employees hiking Mount Elbert
together. Employees and the company help take care of one another. For the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire and the
2013 and 2015 Colorado floods, our internal campaign raised over $500,000 for fellow employees.
To support our goal of continuously improving our sustainability performance, AECOM works closely with many of
our clients and partners to share resources, best practices, and ideas for collaboration. To this end we would like to
extend a standing offer to the City of Fort Collins to engage with AECOM on exploring opportunities for potential
ways we can work together to build a more sustainable and resilient future.

AECOM provided the County with full service design services and local
agency coordination support to gain required project clearances from
CDOT for the S. Academy Bike/Ped Trail Project. AECOM worked with
local stakeholders included Pikes Peak Community College and Fort
Carson to obtain project consensus and required easements were donated to
the project.
Solutions: Extensive stakeholder coordination was required by
the AECOM team to obtain interchange approvals and
environmental clearances in accordance with the CDOT Project
Development Manual. In addition, the new bridge over the Fort
Carson railroad yard required close coordination with US Army
representatives, UPRR and BNSF railroad companies, and a
PUC authorization of various traffic and interchange scenarios.
Efficiencies: AECOM analyzed existing and future access
issues along the corridor and held several workshops with
interested stakeholders to facilitate a phased program approach
to construction improvements.
Value Added: “As design consultant on this multi-phase
project, AECOM has successfully dealt with a myriad of
complex challenges in addressing not only the design issues,
but the constraints and challenges raised by the other key
Stakeholders on this significant capacity improvement
project.” ~ Dennis Barron, PE, El Paso County Project Manager

Local Agency Projects AECOM provides a comprehensive team that is very familiar with CDOT’s plan format (including
ROW plans) and federal requirements, which will expedite the approval process on projects with state
and/or federal funding.
Neighborhood Traffic
Mitigation
Many of the staff on our team has worked on a city traffic engineering team or as an on-call
traffic consultant. We understand that traffic on city streets is one of the most visible aspects of a
city. Our staff has provided traffic calming, school crossing assessments, signal warrant analysis,
development traffic reviews, parking and circulation studies, and sign reviews for many types of
community scale traffic concerns.
Signal Design, Signing,
and Striping
Out of the AECOM Denver office, our team has designed over 50 signal installations over the last
8 years. These signals have included everything from mid-block pedestrian crossings to six-lane
fully actuated and advance dilemma zone detection. We have prepared signing and striping plans
that have included one-way to two-way conversions.
Advisory services for
Planning Projects
Our team includes a full complement of engineers and planners who have experience working together.
This balance of talent provides the City with the type of expertise that can be helpful when exploring
new projects and programs identified in the transportation planning process. Whether it is design
standards modifications or transit oriented development opportunities, this team has all the resources
and expertise you will need.
Support for
Funding
Applications
We have assisted cities with funding applications where more specialized resources can be applied to
help make projects more competitive at the state and national level. We bring our previous grant
application efforts from the (2) TIGER grant applications to continue identifying additional funding
opportunities.
Public and
Stakeholder Meeting
Support
AECOM regularly prepares high-quality public meeting and city planning exhibits and materials.
For example, our efforts on the recent Vine/Lemay and the SH 392/I-25 outreach efforts provided
a clear and consistent message to the public.
Preformatted environmental templates help
facilitate CDOT environmental reviews and
approvals, saving time and budget.
AECOM is using CDOT's documented NEPA
template to help expedite the EA efforts for Region
4's Sterling S-Curve Project.
We are committed to quality as
evidenced by our registration to
the ISO 9001 standard

CDOT requires full local agency
environmental compliance on one of
the City’s existing projects
Gary works with Brian Partington to meet
with the CDOT R4 environmental staff to
coordinate the completion of additional
resource clearances.
Through our CDOT Flood On-
Call contracts, AECOM has
assumed local agency
coordinator roles that can be
leverage to expedite clearances.
At project completion, the AECOM team will work quickly to produce project close-out
documentation.

Why AECOM
Hands down, AECOM is the best team to support the City for this civil on-call engineering contract. Since our
selection on the previous on-call engineering contract, we have continued to provide comprehensive and client-
focused service to the City’s transportation staff on both small and complex projects. A sample of the types of
projects and services we provide along with the benefit we bring to the City are summarized in Exhibit 6, page 9.
AECOM advantages are summarized below:
• Proven Performance on City Projects. AECOM’s efforts on SH 392, Timberline and Kechter, and the Arthur
Ditch CBCs have provided the City with collaborative multi-agency success, cost-effective project solutions built
on schedule and within budget, and support for innovative funding opportunities.
