Section III – Similar Projects In Appendix II below, Moffatt & Nichol presents project descriptions for projects completed by the firm that required similar services to those requested in this RFQ for Charles Creek Flooding Mitigation Plan and Waterfront Master Plan. A brief overview of those projects is given here. Projects Similar to Charles Creek Flooding Mitigation Plan Coastal Flooding Study and Design Options Development, Norfolk, VA Client: City of Norfolk Moffatt & Nichol completed services that are the City’s program to identify risks and options for mitigating coastal flooding caused by extraordinary precipitation events in combination with wind‐ driven setup, extreme astronomical tides, and storm surges. Whalehead Subdivision Stormwater Management Master Plan, Currituck County, NC Client: Currituck County Whalehead Subdivision was experiencing flooding due low topography, a shallow water table, and increased development beyond the capacity of its natural drainage system, which is mainly one of onsite infiltration. Moffatt & Nichol completed a study evaluating the creation of bio‐retention areas together with pumping of groundwater to areas more conducive to stormwater infiltration as an alternate to discharging stormwater to adjacent water bodies. Moffatt & Nichol subsequently completed design. FEMA Stormwater Study and Flooding Mitigation Plan, Emerald Isle, NC Client: Town of Emerald Isle Moffatt & Nichol completed a watershed management plan that examined feasible solutions to mitigate flooding occurring in a ~1.6‐square‐mile area on Emerald Isle. Study involved in‐depth surface water/groundwater modeling to evaluate the problem utilizing the computer program MIKESHE. During Phase II, M&N completed design of a stormwater runoff treatment wetland/infiltration system utilizing existing uplands to mitigate floods. Solution involved pump stations to force floodwaters into a “forebay” with sand filter that discharged to treatment wetlands via surface/subsurface flow. Archers Creek Watershed Plan, Emerald Isle, NC Client: Town of Emerald Isle The Town of Emerald Isle was awarded a Clean Water Management Trust Fund Grant to develop a watershed plan to improve the water quality in Archers Creek. The creek was 303d listed for fecal coliform contamination in excess of the water quality standard and was thus closed for shell fishing. Moffatt & Nichol compiled relevant GIS data, collected water quality samples for lab analysis, collected probe data along the length of the creek, and collected historical water quality data from the NCDEH in order to draft the watershed plan. Projects Similar to Waterfront Master Plan Waterfront Master Plan, City of Washington, NC [Individual experience of Scott Lagueux] Client: City of Washington, NC While with his previous employer, Mr. Lagueux led a project to prepare a 20‐year‐horizon vision for the City of Washington, NC’s waterfront and adjacent portions of its historic downtown. The plan included the traditional land use and planning components but concentrated on developing a product that would visually and strategically reinforce the Washington Downtown Harbor District’s new brand; a plan and vision that could be used to attract and prioritize investment while providing the citizens a focus to their waterfront’s future.

The firm completed several analyses, a site assessment, and an environmental evaluation as part of the master plan process for the new waterfront. Section IV – Project Understanding & Approach Effort 1 ‐ Waterfront Master Plan Overview. Our incremental approach to preparing a Waterfront Master Plan for Elizabeth City is broken into 5 tasks. • Task 1 – Existing Conditions Assessment • Task 2 – Economic Assessment • Task 3 – City of Elizabeth City Program and Planning Framework Preparation • Task 4 – Initial Waterfront Concepts • Task 5 – Final Waterfront Plan Preparation Task 1: Existing Conditions Assessment – Waterfront Plan M&N will perform the following subtasks under Task 1: • Pre‐Work Data Collection. Conduct an initial data needs inventory to identify the types and formats of data required for the project. Our initial data needs inventory will serve as a starting point in the data collection and research component of the effort. M&N will prepare an initial listing of information and studies for the Client to assemble prior to or as part of the Project Kick‐Off Meeting. Anticipated information includes:  Boundary and topographical survey and/or mapping data for the project site;  Aerial photography;  Bathymetric data;  Studies, reports and/or condition surveys of in‐water facilities and other existing buildings and facilities found at the project site;  Studies & information on quality and condition of site environmental habitat (uplands & submerged);  Regulations (general and special) pertaining to local land use, environmental protection, watershed protection, storm water detention and other related data;  Studies, reports, mapping and/or other engineering information on internal and external roadways and traffic volumes, planned roadway improvements, design criteria and other related information;  Studies, reports, mapping and/or other engineering information on site infrastructure serving the site, potable water and wastewater plant capacities, utilities design criteria and other related data;  Site ownership and easements; and,  Previous plans for the subject site.

4 | Project Understanding & Approach

As part of this effort and prior to the formal project Kick‐Off Meeting, M&N will work with a Project Steering Committee established by Elizabeth City to schedule a series of meetings with project stakeholders to facilitate the data collection process as well as better understand the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and constraints of the project site. The Steering Committee should be comprised of 7 to 9 individuals representing City Departments (Planning, Public Works, etc.), downtown merchants, waterfront users (propeller club, etc.), local arts groups, and others. • Project Kick‐Off (Combined with Flooding Mitigation Plan Effort). The Project Kick‐Off Meeting will serve as the first formal organizational meeting between M&N and the Client. Anticipated as a half‐day session, this meeting will cover several important project topics, including:  Confirmation of project communication and chains of command;  Confirmation of project goals and objectives;  Discussion of the project schedule, including timing of the public workshop and submissions;  Discussion of project issues, economic elements, local initiatives and other topics of relevance;  Outline of assembled and outstanding required project data;  Presentation of early base maps and graphics for review; and,  Initial inventory of project stakeholders and other groups and contacts. Following the Project Kick‐Off Meeting, M&N will visit the study area with the Client to further our understanding and visually inspect existing site facilities. M&N will also hold project stakeholder meetings. Later in the day, M&N will hold Community Work Session #1 to meet with the community and learn of their aspirations for the waterfront. Community Work Session #1, entitled “Your Riverfront, Past and Present,” is designed to create a collective understanding about the issues and opportunities facing the waterfront and to open additional channels of dialogue as to the best ways to address these over time. This session will work to identify what the community would like to see along their waterfront. Community Work Session #1 will be designed to be an interactive session and open house—not a static presentation of results—allowing the attendees to interact with the planning team to start the process of outlining early solutions to address issues and opportunities. • Existing Conditions Analysis. Using the data assembled M&N will prepare an existing conditions assessment for the project site. Assembled information shall include both narrative descriptions and, where applicable, site mapping. Elements shall include:  Photo reconnaissance of the site (from site tour).  Updated base mapping showing site boundary, bathymetry, spot elevations and location of existing buildings and other features.  Inventory & visually inspect in‐water facilities, buildings and other site features. This shall include, but not be limited to, in‐water facilities & docks; site utilities & infrastructure; site buildings; site open spaces, parks, hard‐ & softscape areas; site access and views; transportation features; and other topics.  M&N will review City, County and other agency regulations and polices impacting the site as well as other master plans reports of relevance. Task 2: Economic Assessment With Shipley Consulting, M&N will prepare a series of economic assessments/briefs to inform the potential program alternatives for the subject site. Economic assessments will be assembled from Consultant expertise, case study, interviews and other effort. Market assessments will review the following: • Marina and other related marine activities (e.g., ferry, dinner cruise); • Upland commercial uses;

5 | Project Understanding & Approach

• Park and open space activities, inclusive of capital and operational aspects, as well as linkages with the regional trail system; • Environmental education; and, • Others to be determined. M&N will assemble a consolidated Existing Conditions and Market Assessment Report for the subject site. Work will be presented to the Client in person and/or via WebEx conference call. The report will serve as foundational data and research needed for subsequent planning stages, inclusive of program and concepts development. Task 3 – City of Elizabeth City Program and Planning Framework Preparation M&N and selected team members will perform the following subtasks under this stage: • From the economic assessment, existing conditional analysis and Community Work Session #1, M&N will prepare several program scenarios that contemplate various assemblages of site uses and activities. Program scenarios will consider the mix of activities, the blending of capital and operational elements, the timing of elements, and the degree to which revenue and non‐revenue generating components can be assembled to offer a sustainable riverfront moving forward. Program scenarios will also consider how well each approach aligns with community aspirations. • M&N will prepare a planning framework for the waterfront and surrounding land areas. This framework contemplates the common elements that should be consistent for all concept alternatives. For example, the framework may conclude that two locations are most advantageous for site access by pedestrians. The framework, along with the program scenarios, will guide the development of initial concepts under Task 4 (Initial Waterfront Concepts). Task 4 – Initial Waterfront Concepts M&N and selected team members will perform the following subtasks under Stage 4: • M&N and team members will prepare two (2) initial concepts for Elizabeth City’s waterfront that comprehensively address and respond to the program scenarios, project framework and other results of work in Tasks 1, 2 and 3. Initial concepts will be hand drawn/rendered and prepared at a scale suitable for presentation and in sufficient detail to address overall use and activity area relationships; project narrative/scripting of experiences; in‐water activation; general building and parking footprints; amenity, plaza and open space areas; generalized utilities provision concepts; supporting visual images; and, other elements. • An evaluation matrix highlighting the qualitative and quantitative similarities and differences of each initial concept alternative will be prepared. The matrix, along with the concepts, will be assembled into a submission package and presentation for the Client. These will be presented to the Client as part of a Webex Conference call for feedback. From this feedback, M&N will refine the two concepts and ready them for work and refinement with the community under Work Session #2. • M&N and team members will hold Community Work Session #2 to discuss results of all work to date. This community work session, entitled “Future Visions of for the City of Elizabeth City’s Waterfront,” is designed to outline several planning visions for the riverfront and elicit community feedback as to a preferred direction forward. Community Work Session #2 will be designed to be an interactive session—not a static presentation of results—allowing the attendees to interact with the planning team to evaluate presented alternatives and help find ways they can be improved. • M&N will advance the preferred alternative plan based on the feedback received from Community Work Session #2 and other stakeholders and prepare it for approval by the Client. M&N will prepare an Initial Vision Planning Concepts Report based on the outcomes of Stage 4. Work will be presented to the Client via WebEx conference call.

6 | Project Understanding & Approach

Task 5 – Final Waterfront Plan Following Client acceptance of Task 4, M&N will prepare a Draft Waterfront Plan. The Plan will include the following elements:  Executive summary, goals, plan methodology and other introductory elements;  Plan framework and community guidance;  Results of existing conditions and economic assessment;  An illustrative site plan depicting all project elements (buildings, attractions, natural areas);  Plan functional layers (diagrams) graphically depicting primary project elements, attractions, transportation access, parking, and others as defined;  Project section(s) for each site depicting key zones and components;  Supporting imagery and other visual materials to communicate the character of the development and specific site functionality;  Generalized location and size of site serving infrastructure and marine improvements;  Schedule of areas;  Initial order‐of‐magnitude project costing  Grant writing and financing approaches;  Phasing plan; and,  Implementation strategy. The Plan will be prepared in a written and presentation format and assembled as a single document. This task will involve working through several iterations of text, graphics and other elements needed to communicate project elements and intent. The Client will be involved in the review and comment of several of these items in early and late draft stages to ensure they reflect client intent and desire. M&N will hold a client meeting to present to present the Draft Vision Plan and receive feedback. Following Client feedback, M&N will prepare a Final Waterfront Master Plan. The Final Plan will include a memorandum detailing the next project steps and follow‐on scope of work will be prepared and submitted to the Client. M&N will hold a final presentation for presentation to the Parish Council. Effort 2 – Charles Creek Flooding Mitigation Plan Overview. With a significant portion of the Charles Creek watershed at just a few feet above sea level, the watershed’s lower portions are especially prone to flooding from high tides, coastal storms &d wind tide events. There have been past studies of the flooding along Charles Creek as part of other initiatives and the City has expended significant resources in the upper portions of the watershed to reduce flooding. This study will focus on the lower portions of the watershed and look to develop solutions to mitigate flooding and make this portion of the watershed more resilient. M&N proposes the following approach for the planning and design to mitigate flooding in the Charles Creek watershed. Our approach to preparing a Charles Creek Flooding Mitigation Plan is broken into 3 tasks. • Task 1 – Existing Conditions Assessment • Task 2 – Watershed Evaluation & Hydrologic/Hydraulic Modeling and Analysis • Task 3 – City of Elizabeth City Program and Planning Framework Preparation Task 1: Existing Conditions Assessment – Flooding Mitigation Plan  Pre‐Work Data Collection. Refer to Task 1, Existing Conditions Assessment – Waterfront Plan. Work will follow the same timeline and request.

7 | Project Understanding & Approach

• Kickoff Client and Working Group Meetings. Refer to Task 1, Existing Conditions Assessment – Waterfront Plan. Work will follow the same timeline and request. • Data Collection/Review. M&N will review all of the existing data that the City provides and will contact all applicable county, state, and federal agencies, to obtain only the additional digital/hardcopy information that is available from these sources. The available LIDAR survey will be downloaded as well as information collected during past studies. M&N will also submit letters to environmental regulatory agencies to request information from their respective databases (including the NC Natural Heritage Program, the State Historic Preservation Office, and others). • Subbasin Delineation. Based upon data collected above, we will delineate the watershed and sub‐basins of the agreed upon size using the LIDAR topographic survey and existing GIS inventory. We will then identify areas where additional survey information for the structure inventory will be required for later design phases. As part of this task, we will also identify areas of common land use patterns, areas of land use changes and identify flow path patterns to verify the modeling completed to date. • Field Reconnaissance. A field reconnaissance/photo survey will be completed by team engineering personnel. The objectives of the field investigation are to field verify the sub‐basin delineations and flow path patterns, determine channel linings (assign roughness coefficients) and general cross‐sections, verify flood complaint areas and note other problems, and locate pipe networks not provided by the City. • Initial Stakeholder/Public Meetings. During this phase, a public meeting will be held to gather input on flooding depths during past events and provide a chance for input within the BMP/design selection process. Conceptual ideas for BMP implementation (berms, living shorelines, flood gates, pumps, etc.) will be presented for input. This meeting would allow for fatal flaws to be determined (easement issues, etc.) before preliminary designs are even assessed. At Task conclusion, M&N will prepare digital coverage maps (GIS compatible) with all work completed to date including, basin delineations, existing wetland delineations, field survey results, flood prone areas, pipe networks, and structure inventory. Task 2: Watershed Evaluation & Hydrologic/Hydraulic Modeling and Analysis • Choice of Models. The preferred model of choice for the hydrologic/hydraulic analyses will be the XPSWMM 1D/2D model. M&N will directly input data from the previously completed RMA2D model that was completed for a past project. This past modeling work will allow our team to hit the ground running with our current understanding of coastal flooding in and along Charles Creek. • Existing Conditions Baseline Model Setup. M&N will first develop connectivity of the sub‐basins and stream networks from the available surveys. The XPSWMM model will adequately model the terrain, stream configurations, changes in flow and other basin characteristics. Runoff hydrographs will be computed at the downstream end of each sub‐area and combined and routed downstream, including storage routing as needed. The model will then be roughly calibrated against measured data (if available), the existing FEMA Flood Insurance Study (if available), and any other measured flow data from past flooding events. The results from the model will then be loaded into GIS to show inundated areas during these storm events for use in public meetings and for project funding requests. • Existing and Future Conditions Storm Model Runs. Once the existing case baseline model has been developed, the model will be run for the 2, 10, 25, 50 and 100‐year events to determine the existing condition behavior of the watershed under various return period flows. The individual hydraulic model results will also be loaded into GIS, and for each individual storm event, the depth of inundation will be tabulated by reach. Once the models and results have been tabulated for the existing conditions case,

8 | Project Understanding & Approach

individual models will then be run for all cases with a future condition consisting of full buildout based on the City’s current land use plan. • Summary of Hydrologic/Hydraulic Modeling and Flood Inundation Assessment. Once all of the model runs and results have been tabulated, a summary of the results (on a reach by reach basis) will be created including: the drainage problems, the buildings impacted by the 100‐yr flood, the buildings affected by hydraulic constrictions in the studied systems, areas where vehicular traffic would be cut off during floods, ponding areas, and historical flood damage areas. • Development and Modeling of Potential Flood Mitigation Solutions – Interim Meetings with City and Working Group. Based on the modeling results for the existing system as well as the input received during the initial working group and public meetings, M&N will develop a concise list of potential flood mitigation solutions for discussion with the City and the Working Group. Once the City and the Working Group have approved the potential list of solutions, M&N will test these options using the existing models to determine the range of solutions needed for varying return period storms. These solutions expect to range from green infrastructure, berms, living shorelines, LID techniques, grading/dredging, flood gates, pumping, and a combination of the above options. Concept level designs and costs only will be completed during this study. Results will be shared with the City and Working Group for comment and viability. Preliminary economic effects of the proposed solutions will also be provided based on FEMA HEC‐FDA approaches. • Permitting Meeting. After approval of the potential list of viable solutions from the City and Working Group, a meeting will be held with the appropriate regulatory agencies (DWQ, USACE, NCDCM, Land Quality, US Fish and Wildlife, etc.) to inform them of the project and to get their input on the proposed solutions studied above. This meeting would allow for fatal flaws to be determined during conceptual level design before final designs are completed and construction documents created during later design phases. This will also ease the permit process later and should provide for expedited approval during subsequent design phases. M&N has followed this approach with all of its flooding mitigation projects with CAMA staff in Elizabeth City and Little Washington (Frank Jennings, Lynn Matthis, Lynn Hardison, Scott Vinson, David Moye (retired), Maria Dunn, etc.) and have found that this approach is key to securing buy‐in at an early stage. • Public Meeting. Refer to Task 4, Initial Waterfront Concepts – Waterfront Plan. Data will be presented as part of Community Work Session #2.

M&N RMA2D Model of Area Completed for Previous Project • Funding Approaches. M&N will investigate funding strategies to implement the plan. Potential funding sources will include the National Flood Mitigation Program, Rockfeller and other grants for Resilient Cities, HUD Disaster Recovery Grants, CWMTF grants and State Infrastructure Revolving Loans. Grant opportunities will take precedence and M&N has been successful in projects that secured funding in each other the above and others. Task 3: Feasibility Report for Flooding Mitigation Plan Based upon the findings from the existing studies and models listed above, M&N will develop and submit a draft feasibility report outlining Tasks 1 and 2 above. PROJECT DURATION Provided below is M&N’s initial estimate for fees associated with Stage 1 services as well as anticipated time to complete work under each project stage.

Appendix II Project Experience – Charles Creek Flooding Mitigation Plan Coastal Flooding Study and Design Options Development, Norfolk, Virginia Client: City of Norfolk

Moffatt & Nichol is part of an ongoing program to identify the City of Norfolk’s risks and options for mitigating coastal flooding caused by extraordinary precipitation events in combination with wind‐driven setup, extreme astronomical tides, and storm surges. Study and design tasks have included assessment of existing flood defenses, siting of new tide gauges to more accurately characterize tidal propagation around the city, and conceptual development of flood mitigation alternatives. Historical and new measured data were utilized, along with design rainfall hydrographs, within calibrated models of the storm water collection system and overland flow areas to predict flooding for a range of both rainfall and tidal tailwater events. Results were incorporated into a geodatabase and maps. The storm water system, open water, and overland flow simulations were conducted within the dynamically‐linked 1D/2D combination of XPSWMM—using the EPA SWMM5 engine—and TUFLOW. For three separate large watersheds within the city, the models were developed and calibrated based on city GIS information and historical data, and matrices of predictive simulations were run for several design alternatives. These studies, along with the new data acquisition and analysis, have provided expanded knowledge of tidal conditions within the city and allowed calibration of models to produce more accurate flood predictions. Development of conceptual flood mitigation alternatives has involved assessment of city design requirements and identified those in need of update; prioritized flood improvements; and formulation of funding strategies to implement these improvements. Currently, Moffatt & Nichol is preparing preliminary engineering designs and feasibility studies for flood mitigation works within three watersheds. (6822)

Whalehead Subdivision Stormwater Management Master Plan, Currituck County, North Carolina Client: Currituck County

Whalehead Subdivision, at the northern end of North Carolina’s Outer Banks, was experiencing flooding due low topography, a shallow water table, and increased development beyond the capacity of its natural drainage system, which is mainly one of onsite infiltration. The watershed encompasses approximately 590 acres with elevations ranging from 0 feet to well over 20 feet. Moffatt & Nichol completed a study evaluating the creation of bio‐retention areas together with pumping of groundwater to areas more conducive to stormwater infiltration as an alternate to discharging stormwater to adjacent water bodies.

To analyze and develop alternatives to rectify subdivision flooding, Moffatt & Nichol provided data collection, field inventory, hydrologic/hydraulic modeling and analysis, alternatives development, preliminary design, and permitting. A MIKESHE model was created to link surface

water and groundwater behaviors; the model was calibrated to replicate groundwater table during 24‐hour‐long rainfall events for 2‐year, 5‐year, 10‐year, 25‐year, 50‐year, and 100‐year return intervals. Using the calibrated model and input from local, state, and federal regulatory agencies, three storm water management alternatives were examined for each event to estimate surface flooding volumes. These involved pumping storm water into the backside of the island’s primary dune line for infiltration, ocean outfalls, and pumping storm water to existing soundside ponds. Model results indicated that each alternative clearly reduced the overland flood depth/volume; pumping storm water to soundside ponds, however, was the most effective option because it provided additional capacity and, given existing ponds, other infiltration pipe systems could be added. M&N reviewed areas outside of proposed infiltrations systems and developed alternative surface collection systems to provide additional relief by pumping localized flooding to the infiltration basins. The design of these “Hot Spot” systems provided relief for areas outside of the initial study areas and to the residents at the major intersecting streets. M&N worked with NCDOT in order to implement these “Hot Spot” systems and assisted the County in acquiring additional funding from other sources for implementation of several more “Hot Spot” systems. Moffatt & Nichol prepared a Feasibility Report recommending the soundside ponds alternative, along with a detailed analysis of each alternative and concept designs, including opinions of probable costs. The firm also worked with the County and Drainage Board to develop the funding requirements for this and future phases and assisting in determining the appropriate tax revenue structure for the implementation and operation of the systems. (6273) FEMA Stormwater Study and Flooding Mitigation Plan, Emerald Isle, North Carolina Client: Town of Emerald Isle

During Phase I, Moffatt & Nichol completed a watershed management plan that examined feasible solutions to mitigate flooding occurring in an approximately 1.6‐square‐mile area on the westernmost end of Emerald Isle. Study involved in‐depth surface water/groundwater modeling to evaluate the problem utilizing the computer program MIKESHE. Model used to study the existing conditions as well as alternative solutions. Groundwater conditions were investigated to determine the feasibility of an aquifer recharge/recovery system. Other alternatives considered included use of treatment wetlands for stormwater runoff, raising existing roads with addition of culverts, and nonstructural alternatives such as

iii | Projects

reintroduction of native vegetation. After receipt of a $2.4 million grant from the CWMTF, geotechnical investigations were completed to determine the receiving capacity of a particular property without changing its current plant community structure; MIKESHE was utilized for this analysis. The site’s receiving capacity was deemed adequate by the town, and the property was purchased. During Phase II, Moffatt & Nichol completed design of a stormwater runoff treatment wetland/infiltration system utilizing existing uplands to mitigate floods on the western end of Emerald Isle. Solution involved pump stations to force floodwaters into a “forebay” with sand filter that discharged to treatment wetlands via surface/subsurface flow. Under typical conditions, the wetland will discharge to Bogue Sound via subsurface flow. Under flood conditions, the wetland will also discharge through an overflow spreader bar. The Phase II project involved the design of two duplex pump stations, each of which collects runoff through surface drainage and groundwater through separate infiltration pipe. Moffatt & Nichol provided stormwater system layout/location, pump/wet well sizing, management system piping to maintain pre‐project water levels/drainage patterns, and treatment wetlands. In addition, Phase II included approximately 4,500 linear feet of HDPE force main piping, 200 linear feet of infiltration piping, and 450 linear feet of equalization piping. Substantial grading work was completed to raise the grade of an existing entrance road to the town’s park because the system discharges onto an existing rock dike prior to entering existing wetlands. Moffatt & Nichol worked closely with the town to minimize project impacts to adjacent properties. Moffatt & Nichol also provided bid services and construction surveillance including monthly progress reports, shop drawing approval, request for payment approval, and record drawings. (4340) Archers Creek Watershed Plan, Emerald Isle, North Carolina Client: Town of Emerald Isle

The Town of Emerald Isle was awarded a Clean Water Management Trust Fund Grant to develop a watershed plan to improve the water quality in Archers Creek. The creek was 303d listed for fecal coliform contamination in excess of the water quality standard and was thus closed for shell fishing. Moffatt & Nichol compiled relevant GIS data, collected water quality samples for lab analysis, collected probe data along the length of the creek, and collected historical water quality data from the NCDEH in order to draft the watershed plan.

The water quality data was used for qualitative pollutant source tracking, based upon the pollutants found and their concentrations. The GIS data was used identify a large number of stormwater BMP retrofit and restoration opportunities, which then evaluated more specifically in terms of constraints and feasibility based on site visits. Some factors considered in evaluating each potential site for watershed improvements included property ownership, existing land use, topography, existing wetlands, water table depth, and watershed size and composition. Conceptual designs, water quality benefit analyses, and detailed cost estimates were then developed for each site in order to prioritize them. Practices recommended included buffer restorations, culvert replacements to promote tidal flushing, marsh restorations, modifications to existing bulkheads to promote infiltration, minor grade changes to promote infiltration, storm drain removal, underground infiltration systems, and Smart Sponge catch basin inserts. The preliminary design of one site‐specific BMP application included a two‐tiered stormwater BMP utilizing infiltration in the upper tier and a wetland in the lower tier. (4340‐12)

Project Experience – Waterfront Master Plan Waterfront Master Plan, City of Washington, North Carolina [Individual experience of Scott Lagueux]

While with his previous employer, Mr. Scott Lagueux was project manager/lead planner for preparation of a 20‐year‐horizon vision for the City of Washington, NC’s waterfront and adjacent portions of its historic downtown. Retained by the City and its Citizens for Revitalization Committee, he led the team that produced a plan that would guide the community to visualize its preferred future while pointing toward a mutually agreed‐upon direction for citizens, investors, and others. The plan included the traditional land use and planning components but concentrated on developing a product that would visually and strategically reinforce the Washington Downtown Harbor District’s new brand; a plan and vision that could be used to attract and prioritize investment while providing the citizens a focus to their waterfront’s future. The project involved significant public participation facilitated through three public meetings which engaged more than 450 citizens through participation in at least one of the meetings. Mr. Lagueux served as the City’s technical representative and primary presenter during the meetings. In addition, the process involved a three‐day‐long charrette with key stakeholders which was conducted at the midpoint of the planning process. Led development of the final master plan and implementation strategy that executed the plan through five phases to allow funding flexibility. The implementation strategy emphasized initial efforts to establish the foundation for long‐term plan success and established a balance of revenue‐generating enhancements with those that were revenue neutral or negative.

Swan Quarter Waterfront Redevelopment, Hyde County, North Carolina Owner: Hyde County, Office of Economic Development and Planning

As a subconsultant, Moffatt & Nichol provided engineering and permitting support services for the master plan to redevelopment Swan Quarter’s waterfront. Specifically, M&N attended the project kickoff call, attended a single‐day‐long site visit and stakeholder meeting, reviewed the prime consultant’s draft alternatives and preferred plan, provided USACE/NCDENR permitting process guidance, provided input to cost estimates for the preferred plan, and suggested follow‐on grants/project funding sources related to waterfront facilities for implementation. Site visit/stakeholder meeting included a confirmation of project goals/objectives and discussion of project issues and local initiatives. For the draft alternatives, M&N provided planning for additional, proposed commercial docks on the waterfront which included a proposed dock configuration/ construction for a fixed timber pier with floating finger piers. New docks would serve commercial fishing vessels, recreational fishing charters, & transient vessels and would provide potable water & vessel power services. Permitting guidance involved identification of regulatory agencies with oversight responsibility and permits required (NCDENR, Division of Coastal Management and USACE) including the main considerations of those permits. For project funding, M&N identified public and private alternative funding sources for which the project qualified, eligibility and application requirements such as matching funds, and application deadlines. For the Swan Quarter Waterfront Redevelopment, Mr. Lagueux was the prime consultant’s project manager and lead planner. As project manager, he provided client liaison, firm/ subconsultant coordination, schedule, cost, & document control, quality control reviews, and management of the project’s day‐to‐day activities. As waterfront planner, he led the project tasks including site analysis, stakeholder outreach, alternatives development, regulatory, funding, & implementation strategy, and master plan preparation. In addition, Mr. Lagueux served as the lead planner facilitating the stakeholder meeting/interviews, inventorying existing conditions of the project area, identifying project issues & opportunities, developing alternatives, directing cost estimate preparation, recommending policy to assist plan implementation, and hosting an open‐house‐style public meeting.

Alexandria Waterfront, Alexandria, Virginia Owner: City of Alexandria

Alexandria, Virginia, rests on the scenic banks of the Potomac River and offers a variety of shops, restaurants, and attractions. Moffatt & Nichol is enhancing the historic character of the city by providing professional services for the redevelopment of the waterfront and public marina. The firm completed several analyses, a site assessment, and an environmental evaluation as part of the master plan process for the new waterfront. Moffatt & Nichol is currently working with the landscape architect to refine the master plan and develop schematic design of waterfront features, including shoreline stabilization structures, a public pier, fixed and floating docks, a kayak launch, and a pile‐supported promenade. During the initial master planning process, Moffatt & Nichol prepared a market and economic feasibility analysis for waterfront activities that included a needs analysis and a preliminary financial analysis. The environmental evaluation considered the impact of the development on the surrounding wetlands and floodplain and assessed the level of riverbed dredging that the development faced. A report summarized the study findings and conclusions. During the planning phase, Moffatt & Nichol developed dock layouts to accommodate both commercial and recreational activities and wave protection that also minimized ice growth and basin sedimentation. In addition, Moffatt & Nichol provided construction cost estimates, identified the regulatory overview process, and acted as a consultant for a citizen and community involvement program surrounding the development. In the schematic design phase, Moffatt & Nichol will develop preliminary design criteria and programming in addition to plan and typical sections of the proposed waterfront features. Opinions of probable construction cost and the framework for regulatory review of the project will be developed.
