Re: Statement of Qualifications | East Industrial Parkway
Dear Mr. Blue:
Thank you again for the taking the time to meet with me on Monday to discuss your project. DGL Consulting Engineers is very interested in working with the Village of Fayette and we’re confident we can achieve your East Industrial Parkway project goals.
Based on our meeting, site visit and review of your Request for Qualifications, DGL recommends utilizing a Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) approach to improve Fayette’s East Industrial Parkway. We have elaborated on this process in the Technical Approach section of our Statement of Qualifications.
We understand a fee and/or construction cost estimate was not required for this submittal; however, we feel it appropriate to share that by utilizing FDR, Fayette will experience a significant cost reduction. We hope you strongly consider our team for this project as DGL’s successes with similar FDR projects in nearby communities will be quite beneficial for Fayette.
Thank you for the opportunity to participate in your selection process, and we look forward to future opportunities with Fayette. Please contact me directly should you have any questions related to the material included herein.
Respectfully,
DGL Consulting Engineers, LLC

George Hardy Drive Client Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority Location Toledo, Ohio Services Transportation, Structural Engineering, Surveying Construction Cost $900,000 This pavement rehabilitation project extended from the intersection of John Q. Carey Drive, to the railroad track, just past the guard shack on the northerly end of George Hardy Drive. The project scope consisted of removing existing pavement and replacing with a new pavement buildup on an improved subgrade. New pipe underdrains were designed and installed while maintaining the existing curbs. Existing catch basins were inspected and repaired as necessary. A waterline replacement was included as a project alternate. A new rail crossing was also designed and installed part width. The project was designed to maintain heavy truck traffic during construction.
“The design for the above-referenced project was cost efficient. The engineer was able to salvage and utilize the existing curb while reconstructing the remainder of the project, saving the owner a considerable amount of money. The existing topo matched what was on-site, and proposed plan lines and elevations were constructed with minor changes. There were minimal change orders, and the project came in 3.5% under the original bid amount. The traffic phasing sequence proposed in the plans was followed and implemented. Overall, this project design was one of the most accurate we have seen for a reconstruction project - from start to finish.” ~Tom Allen, President, Diversified Road & Pipe, Inc. (now Gerken Paving).

Technical Approach with Present and Projected Workloads
Technical Approach DGL believes the most necessary ingredients for project success are communication, combined with a reliable, cost-conscious design. We are community focused and, in this case, the community consists of the Village of Fayette, the design team and of course Fayette’s residents, businesses and visitors who are directly impacted by this improvement / reconstruction project. Declining road conditions are a continuous problem for communities like Fayette’s and DGL has a successful record of helping correct these problems. The Village of Fayette has invested a tremendous amount of time, research and money in developing a safe environment for its community. With regard to the reconstruction project, the preliminary numbers and initial grant identification is well underway. DGL has visited the site, met with Steven Blue and reviewed the project description. We believe this project can be completed by utilizing a Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR) approach. The FDR process rebuilds worn out asphalt pavements by recycling the existing roadway. Old asphalt and base materials are pulverized, mixed with cement and water, and compacted to produce a strong, durable base for either an asphalt or concrete surface. Full-depth reclamation utilizes the materials from the existing, deteriorated road. Cement is added to those materials which creates a new stabilized base. With FDR, the existing asphalt does not need to be removed or disposed. This reduces truck traffic as well as recycling costs. It also results is a stronger, even, more moisture-resistant, low-maintenance road. The FDR approach is rather straightforward and an ideal process for Fayette’s project due to: No to very few utilities in roadway No curbs and side ditch drainage Minimal driveways Tangent alignment
For the size of this project, the complete “recycling process” can be completed in one to two days. This results in local traffic resuming almost immediately. We would want to investigate the site to fully determine the cause of failure. We would utilize a geotechnical firm to perform appropriate testing to determine layer thicknesses and obtain samples of the material to be recycled. The actual process will include the following steps: Scarification and Pulverization Spreading Cement Water Application Mixing Compaction Curing Pavement Surface

Grant Experience and Successes
DGL understands grant identification and application. We have various examples where we have assisted our clients with various funding formats, and approach each identification or application accordingly. In most cases, qualification for grant assistance is dependent on four criteria: location, type of organization, size and project purpose. Eligibility for funding is usually dependent in part on the location of the activity for which funding is being sought. Although many grants are available, some activities such as community health, agriculture and other specialist interests may be targeted for additional funding. We also keep in mind that grants may be aimed at businesses or groups of a certain size within your community, employing a minimum or maximum number of people, targeting growing businesses as opposed to self-employed individuals or large, well- established organizations. Finally, one of the most significant factors for the qualification of grant assistance is the focus of the proposed project. This may be related to improvements, community development, rural diversification or training and skills development. It is, therefore, important to explain what it is you want the money for, being clear about the intended outcomes of your project. DGL can assist you with these efforts. To reach your specified funding target, Fayette will likely need to match fund costs by applying to more than one funding source, or to supplement grants by utilizing your own budget or income. We understand Fayette’s goal is to remain under $200,000. An oversight clients have made in the past is assuming only one funding source is needed, versus marrying multiple sources to meet your total funding requirements. We understand you have been working with ODOT for grant identification and we can certainly help with those communications, as well as researching additional resources. DGL has been successful in assisting our clients obtain funding by ensuring application requirements are fully met. Our familiarity with various processes guidelines saves our clients time and effort. Our success in increasing our client’s chances of securing grants is based on leading or assisting with the following:
Demonstrating the project need Showing the project is well planned Accurately estimating the project. Providing evidence of budget management Illustrating project benefits
We employ many individuals, including Josh O’Neil, who have experience assisting with identification and grant opportunity pursuits. The have managed submission and obligation processes, as well as fulfilled reporting requirements. Following are examples of these efforts. Village of Metamora Shawnee & Wildflower Drives | Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) DGL led this project which consisted of improving Shawnee and Wildflower Drives for their entire lengths.

The first phase (Project Scoping) consisted of activities in preparation of grant application submission (i.e. field review to define work items, budgetary cost estimating and preparation of Issue 1 grant application). Liberty Center Master Plan DGL assisted the Liberty Center community in the development of their Master Plan document which consisted of a series of prioritized work items, as well as project financing sources. Following acceptance of the Master Plan, DGL was successful in securing OPWC funding to correct a deficient roadway alignment that had been listed as one of the top priorities. Bryan Downtown Streetscape Phase 2 DGL developed the plans for the enhancement of the City’s downtown square. The City of Bryan is the county seat for Williams County, and the downtown square is home to the renovated Williams County Courthouse. This project’s limits were from 10’ in front of the outside face of curb to the face of buildings along each of the four streets along the square. Primary work elements included: sidewalk and architectural elements, including color, stamping, patterns, pavers; improvement of ADA accessibility at intersections and parking spaces; decorative light poles and luminaries design; reconstruction of curb drains for positive drainage flow; tree replacement and urban tree planting systems; hardscape, including benches, trash containers, and planters; and the facilitation of meetings with business owners during the Preliminary Design Phase, followed by a public meeting for citizens. The majority of funding for this project was provided through ODOT’s Transportation Enhancement Program. Findlay Tiffin/Blanchard Safety Study A safety study was conducted at Tiffin/Blanchard in Findlay to successfully procure ODOT funding for safety improvements for a six-legged intersection. Traffic counts, crash history, sign and pavement marking inventories and capacity analyses were conducted to determine needed safety improvements. Roadway widening, new signage, new pavement markings and a signal modification were recommended, funding was approved and design was completed. City of Toledo Traffic Control System Developed projects and acquired $13.5 million in Federal CMAQ funds to design and replace the City of Toledo’s 1970’s-era traffic control system. Worked with consultant and in-house Operations & Maintenance teams to develop specifications and phased implementation plan; managed installation of system. Developed operations plans and programming for over 500 intersections and programmed each traffic signal controller; designed plans for fiber optic communications cable and managed LPA contracts for installation.

Grant Experience and Successes
The City of Toledo began installation of LED indications in 1997, with the installation of a single lamp at a high profile location, as an experiment as to their visibility and longevity. At that time, the benefit of reduced O&M costs was recognized, as well as the reduced liability exposure, but the b/c was questionable. As time passed, technology advanced and the cost of these units continued to drop, resulting in positive b/c ratios, and The City of Toledo began active replacement of red indications without the benefit of dedicated funding. In 2009, a $550,000 ARRA funding request was approved which allowed complete replacement of all remaining indications (Y, G, DGL CONSULTING ENGINEERS, LLC Page | 17 www.dgl-ltd.com Statement of Qualifications Village of Fayette | East Industrial Parkway References DGL’s goal on every project is to perform beyond expectation of those who engage our services.
