RE: Request for Proposal #RFP-8475 - Civil Engineering Professional On-Call
Dear Elliot and Caleb,
Interwest is pleased to present our team’s qualifications to provide all disciplines of civil engineering
design, project management, engineering review, drafting and survey services for the City of Fort
Collins on an on-call basis. Our experience working in and for Fort Collins, and with the team we have
assembled for this proposal, gives us every confidence that with Interwest you will continue to
experience exceptional service, results and value.
From Engineering to Park Planning to Operation Services to Light and Power, Interwest has worked with
many City departments that have utilized this contract since 2008. Our extensive knowledge of the
written and unwritten standards and processes of the City of Fort Collins, as well as CDOT Region 4, will
be at your disposal on projects ranging from small survey requests, to trail connections, to complex
intersection improvement projects. You will be directly served by senior management of Interwest, and
by subconsultant firms who are small, nimble and specialized.
Extensive experience working with City staff and CDOT Region 4
Thorough understanding of City standards and processes
Significant prior experience with City of Fort Collins On-Call services
Multi-faceted DBE and Specialized Partner Firms
Flexibility to work on small and large projects
Proven commitment to the City of Fort Collins
Interwest is proud to state that over the past five years working with this On-Call contract, all of our
key staff are still in place to service you. Interwest is also excited to announce that we are in the
process of becoming employee-owned which will further solidify our staff retention.
We would like to note up front that there are 15 sub-consultants proposed on our team. This RFP had
more disciplines than the 2008 and 2012 RFPs (both of which had 11 Interwest subs available). What
makes our management team special is that we are able to manage multiple sub-consultants as
necessary to service our clients. Also, we get to choose the very best consultants to work in specialized
disciplines rather than being required to use in-house services. Our surveyors just survey, our structural
firms only design structures, etc.
We appreciate the opportunity to continue this on-call service contract, and have received Addendum
Number 1 to the RFP. If you should have any questions, please call me at 970-460-8471.
Sincerely,
Michael P. Oberlander, PE, LEED-AP
Principal in Charge / Senior Project Manager
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
AND APPROACH
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
Project Understanding
The City of Fort Collins has utilized on-call service
contracts as a tool to obtain quality services without taking
the staff time and costs necessary to procure a consultant
for an individual project. In events like the 1997 Spring
Creek Flood and the 2013 Front Range Floods, these
contracts were critical in the effort to get boots on the
ground quickly and to implement solutions to dynamic
problems even while the disaster was taking place.
The flip side of these contracts is the need to procure
consultants for small projects that are too large for a
mini-order, but too small to warrant a formal RFP. These
include providing small engineering designs (patio
additions, plazas, ADA retrofits), assisting with surveying
when City crews are at capacity, providing conceptual
design information for initial project analysis, and
analyzing drainage issues. In the middle are medium-
sized projects that often are difficult to RFP because the
final scope of services cannot be determined without
having a designer on board and advancing the project past
a conceptual level. Examples of these types of projects
include neighborhood park design support, “road diet” projects, and recycling centers.
The key to an on-call contract is to consider the work to be
“staff augmentation” rather than simply consulting.
Interwest managers and designers have worked and will
work with you as an extension of the City staff. We are a
team with a common goal – project success. We will work
with the City Project Manager with the assumption that we
are as accountable to that PM’s supervisor and City
Leadership as he or she is. This requires an extreme level
of trust on both sides of the agreement. Interwest began
working with the City in 2004 with the design of Timberline
Road from Drake to Prospect and Interwest won its first on-
call contract in 2008. Since those initial wins, Interwest
has provided design services on scores of projects for dozens
of City Project Managers. We value the relationships we have built over the past 13 years
and are proud to call ourselves a part of the City of Fort Collins Team. The remainder of
this proposal demonstrates our understanding of this contract, prior experience, and
highlights the team we will take forward for the next several years serving the City.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
Contract Approach - Philosophy:
Interwest Consulting Group, Inc. has been servicing the City of
Fort Collins with an on-call agreement since 2008. Over the last
nine years, we are proud of the services we have been able to
provide to the City and the relationships we have built. Although
the on-call work is not our largest contract year over year, it is
considered our most important. The contract allows us to work
with a variety of projects and departments and truly add value to
the City’s dollars. The relationships we create are invaluable. It
is important to us to be on a first name basis with City staff from
all departments. We separate ourselves from our competition
with our philosophies and our approach to consulting. These
philosophies are embraced by all levels of Interwest staff:
• Be a team member with the City Staff, not an outsider
• Help the client – be solution-oriented
• Provide experienced professionals, even on small projects
• Offer sub-consultants who are second to none in their fields
• Keep consistent staffing on similar projects to increase efficiency
• Adjust workload (specifically private work) to service the City’s needs
• Make contracting and invoicing simple, efficient, and clear
• If we are not the right fit for a project, help the City find the right consultant
Interwest operates much more like a team than a typical corporate structure where the
most experienced staff members provide very little service and entry level engineers are
expected to provide all of the design and production because of their lower billing rates.
This model may work for some organizations, but everyone at Interwest wants to be
involved in your projects and your successes. Most simply, Interwest’s approach to this
and all of our contracts is this:
Provide a quality product, value the team (clients, employees, subs);
the business side will take care of itself.
These core values and philosophies allow all of our staff to approach their work with a
focus on producing the best product rather than worrying about titles, hourly rates,
overhead ratios, chargeability, etc.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
Contract Approach - Typical On-Call Project Approach
It is important to explain Interwest’s philosophies and core values to better understand on
a day to day basis our “real life” approach to this contract. On any given day, anyone
from the City may call Interwest with a project of any size looking for assistance.
Generally, these are the steps that are taken immediately (during the initial call):
1. Open FCMAPS and find the project site and adjacent subdivisions
2. Open FCGOV-EDOCS and look for any adjacent plats and plans
3. Look at Interwest’s overall project history for any nearby projects
4. LISTEN to the caller’s request – focus on the desired end product
5. DISCUSS sub-consultant needs and which services the City may provide (survey,
soils report, past plans), funding source (CDOT, GOCO, or Local), bidding needs,
required approvals, required design timeframe
6. Set a date to have either a meeting to further discuss the project, or a date to
provide a Work Order proposal.
After the initial contact, we reach out to the necessary sub-consultants and provide them
with any exhibits saved during the call and ask for an initial scope and fee for their
services. Interwest facilitates the coordination of the sub-consultants – traffic control and
utility locates for the surveyor, irrigation for the landscape architect, geotechnical borings
for the structural, etc. We then ask for all sub-consultant proposals at least a day before
we need to have the assembled proposal to the City.
We will often go a step further during the proposal
preparation and create an exhibit with the City of Fort
Collins GIS Aerial Photos, Contours, Floodplains, and Parcel
Map. We will call City Utilities and request their mapping
of water, sewer and storm sewer in the project area and
also ask if they are aware of any issues with infrastructure.
The aerial photos we use are so detailed that it is possible
to see manhole lids and even water valves and be able to
create a very detailed base map of the project area in
approximately 60 minutes. This map can then be used to
look at drainage patterns, right of way or property issues,
lane and sidewalk widths and adjacent property
improvements. If the project is complex, or the scope is
elusive, we may take this exhibit to a meeting with the project manager to firm up the
scope of services.
As soon as we have a clear understanding of the scope of the project, we will prepare the
Work Order proposal for the project manager’s review and approval.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
The City of Fort Collins is extremely efficient in the creation of Purchase Orders,
especially for on-call work. As soon as we know our Work Order is accepted, Interwest
will kick off the Data Collection Team. This will typically include private utility locates
(Primo Utility Locating) and topographic and boundary survey (King Surveyors). If we
know where we want geotechnical borings, those will take place at this time as well
(Earth Engineering Consultants). We can provide utility potholing (Colorado Utility
Finders) during this phase of the design, but often we wait until after conceptual design
has started so that we can get “smart” locations for the potholing effort rather than a
shotgun approach. We have traffic control (Carnes Services) included in the project team
to support any of the field exploration work needing MHTs.
During the data collection effort, Interwest and the
remaining sub-consultants will complete background
research and prepare for the conceptual/preliminary
design effort. The remainder of the Interwest Team has
been organized into four key service groups. These groups
are detailed in the organizational chart, firm profiles, and
resumes included in this response. Interwest Managers
will determine what pieces of each team are necessary
during the proposal phase of the project and will lead
each of the teams:
• Project Planning Team – supports project kickoff, vision, and outreach, specializes
in master plans, reports and studies, and will research environmental and cultural
constraints that are likely to impact a future project. Fox Tuttle Hernandez
Transportation Group, BHA Design, and Pinyon Environmental are on this team.
• Project Design Team – provides conceptual, preliminary and final engineering
design plans, specifications, cost estimates, reports and studies. This team
includes general civil engineering, drainage design, traffic studies, signal and
roundabout design and layout, structural design and cultural and environmental
clearances (local, State or Federal). Fox Tuttle Hernandez, Loris and Associates,
San Engineering, and Pinyon Environmental make up this team.
• Aesthetic Design Team – provides the icing on the
cake. Most City projects required beautification,
landscape architecture, and/or urban design. BHA
Design, Hines Irrigation, and ESC Engineering have
teamed consistently in the past to add “pop” to
infrastructure projects. This team will also be
integral to any projects required to go through the
City’s development review process with site plans,
landscape plans, irrigation plans and photometric plans.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
• The Property Acquisition Team is available to the City to provide and assist in
easement and right of way acquisition or any other property-related needs. This
group includes Western State Land Services for acquisition and negotiations,
Hegarty & Gerken as well as Foster Valuation Company for appraisals, and the
CDOT ROW Plan specialist from King Surveyors. We have specifically included two
options for appraisal services. If there is any conflict of interest issue with one of
the firms (for instance, a previous appraisal for a different entity), the second
firm will be available. The second firm may also be used to verify the initial
appraisal.
The above teams will all be working with each other throughout the project. As soon as
the limits of a project are known, the Project Acquisition Team will be preparing an
approach to any land needs. When the horizontal layout of a project becomes firm, the
Aesthetics Team will look for opportunities for beautification. Structure selection reports
will be prepared in tandem with conceptual designs and estimates.
The successful design of a project generally takes a step
by step approach with conceptual design (20%-30%),
preliminary design (50%-70%) and final design (90%-100%).
The bulk of the time and fees are in the preliminary and
final design portion of the project, but the key to these
phases is to establish a thorough scope in the proposal and
comprehensive conceptual design effort. Interwest and
our sub-consultants strive to produce a conceptual design
which meets the project’s goals and construction budget.
At conceptual design, it is also possible to provide
multiple project layout iterations for review without
tapping into the bulk of the design budget. When the
conceptual design is done correctly, the continuation of the project through final design
will be predictable. Predictability ensures on-time delivery of a project that meets the
City’s needs, is defendable to the public and upper management, and works within a
project’s constraints.
The Fine Print:
Several items are specifically noted in the RFP which need to be discussed. Much of this is
verifiable by reviewing our project experience and discussing our past work with other
clients. Interwest will be able to meet all aspects of the RFP. Specific statements in
response to the RFP follow:
• Interwest has assembled a proven team that has come through for the City of Fort
Collins time and again. Interwest and our sub-consultants are prequalified with
CDOT as necessary to provide the work requested. Our Property Acquisition Team
is qualified to work on CDOT or federally funded projects. We are familiar with all
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
applicable codes and standards necessary to service this contract (LCUASS, CDOT,
LFRD, AAASHTO, etc.)
• The Interwest Team can and will provide all
services discussed on Section III of the RFP “Scope
of Services”. Please note that Hydraulic Floodplain
Modelling and FEMA Floodplain mapping is not
included in the RFP. We did not include a sub-
consultant for this work as it is often a “big ticket”
item and generally on-call projects can’t support
this design fee. If the City would like to have a
floodplain/FEMA specialist on the team, we would
add Anderson Consulting Engineers (ACE) to the team during the interview or
contract negotiation. ACE has an on-call contract with the City Utilities
Department and has been available in the past for on-call work.
• Interwest has three Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) available within the
project team (Carnes, San and Pinyon). These sub-consultants are spaced between
the Data Collection, Planning, and Design Teams and give us flexibility if a DBE
goal for design must be met.
• The Interwest team is available for the next five years to service this contract.
Our past performance is a testament to this commitment. We will adjust other
work (decline private development work, or standalone project RFPs) to ensure
there is adequate availability for this on-call agreement.
• Interwest embraces both Design Build and CM-GC delivery methods. We have a
substantial history of CSU and City Facilities projects that have been design-build,
and on the private development side, the owner often has a contractor while we
are doing the design work. The Timberline Recycling Center and the Lincoln
Corridor projects are both recent examples of successful CM-GC projects with
Interwest teaming with the contractor to provide the most cost-effective design.
• Sustainability – Interwest strives to provide designs with sustainability in mind. We
live in an area with very aggressive growth and infrastructure needs and we have
limited resources available regionally. Smart designs are necessary to balance
these two opposing forces. Several of our sub-consultants have described their
sustainability strategies within their company profiles and many of our team
members are LEED Accredited Professionals. Examples of Interwest’s sustainable
design experience and guiding principles are as follow:
Limit project footprints while achieving the project goal. By shrinking
projects, disturbance is limited which makes construction stormwater
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH
management easier, reduces impacts to existing facilities, preserves
landscaping and wetlands, lessens clearance efforts, and ultimately reduces
the project’s construction cost.
Reuse. For example, if a perfectly good curb
is 12” from its ideal location at conceptual
design, rework the design to save that curb
and everything behind it; use an existing
pedestrian bridge that has been taken out of
service (even if it is not the ideal length);
repurpose grain silos; don’t widen bridges if
the existing bridge can be retrofitted.
Reduce and Recycle. Provide plans for
review via Adobe PDF when possible to
reduce printing. Understand and support the City in their solid waste goals
(for instance, the Timberline Recycling Center design).
Provide smart and maintainable stormwater quality facility designs within
the City right of way.
Group meetings when working on multiple on-call projects or other City
projects to reduce trips to the City offices.
Know the City of Fort Collins sustainability and triple bottom line goals and
work those values into the design at the conceptual level.
Be open to new ideas and thinking – modern
roundabouts were taboo when Kechter and
Ziegler was designed, but at the right
intersection they achieve both better safety
and air quality; buffered bike lanes were not
on anyone’s radar until the last few years,
but they effectively encourage more
comfortable biking; rain gardens in the right
of way were unthinkable until they were
accomplished at the Remington Greenway
and Vine and Shields; mini-roundabouts had
not been built as a capital project until it
was done on Laurel and Remington.
