Re: CMEC Proposal for Pre-Qualification for Environmental Studies Services – Non Federal Projects (Contract Identification No. 2256)

Dear Ms. Marshall:

Cox|McLain Environmental Consulting, Inc. (CMEC) is pleased to submit this Letter of Interest in response to the Oklahoma Department of Transportation’s (ODOT) Solicitation of Interest for Pre- Qualification for Environmental Studies Services – Non Federal Projects (Contract Identification No. 2256). CMEC has been providing quality Environmental Studies and Coordination for Non Federally funded County projects statewide in accordance with the latest guidance and regulations available. We pride ourselves on expedient quality service and strive to be readily available to our clients when they need us most. Our Oklahoma offices are dedicated to the needs of the local government officials who we serve and we enjoy working with them on their projects, or just visiting with them at the local CED meeting or the ACCO Conference. We understand that this solicitation will be used to support County Government, Circuit Engineering Districts, or other Local Public Agencies for environmental studies for transportation improvement projects on the County Transportation System, per the Instructions and Guidance for the Regulatory Provisions Checklist for Non-FHWA Funded Projects.

CMEC has been in business since 2007, and since 2015, we have established our Tulsa and Oklahoma City offices staffed with environmental professionals with the express purpose of being able to serve our Oklahoma clients. As shown on our Table of Organization, we have dedicated staff members to manage and execute our assignments from ODOT under this contract, flanked by our most senior leaders and discipline specialists. In our Oklahoma City office, we now have three ecologists, an archeologist, a planner, and our GIS Program Manager. Our Tulsa office houses several archeologists, an architectural historian, and an ecologist. Our Irving, TX office is close by with its multi-disciplinary staff, along with technical expertise as needed from Houston, Austin and others in our growing, virtually-connected professional network. In total, CMEC has 64 full-time and numerous additional dedicated contract employees with a full range of environmental skills. We have added Freese & Nichols specifically for hazardous waste studies because they have specialists who meet Mr. Jeff Pearl’s criteria to perform these specific studies. Our qualifications are shown on the attached CAP 255 forms.

The proposed Contract Manager for this contract is Mr. Will Dillsaver with Mr. Jarrod Powers as Project Manager. Mr. Dillsaver has built relationships across ODOT, Circuit Engineering Districts and CMEC, as well as establishing CMEC’s reputation across Oklahoma as a high-quality environmental service provider. His background in oil and gas has provided unique experience in working with federal agencies such as the BIA and BLM and understanding of Oklahoma geography have made him a strong asset to CMEC and the anchor for the Oklahoma City office. He has grown our local staff including GIS expertise so that we have technical skills available where the projects will take place. Again, as reflected in the Table of Organization, Mr. Dillsaver will be supported by CMEC’s senior leadership and task expertise to

1114 North Walker Avenue, Suite 4, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73103 • 918.850.0991 www.coxmclain.com ensure that each project receives the attention it deserves to gain environmental clearance for ODOT’s endeavors.

Mr. Dillsaver will be supported by Jarrod Powers from our Oklahoma City office. In addition to supporting Ms. Haley Rush for her numerous ODOT responsibilities, Mr. Jarrod Powers has been working directly with Ms. Courtney Filer (Contract Manager for CMEC’s EC 1766F and EC 2016E NEPA Services contracts) on the detailed responsibilities of Contract Management for ODOT, including the focus on detailed communications. Throughout 2019 and 2020, Mr. Powers has supported Ms. Filer on Task Order requests, preparation of scopes and budgets, pre-approval through ODOT discipline specialists, detailed monthly status reports, and the careful coordination required to fulfill this important role. Mr. Powers is devoted to managing the contract responsibilities for CMEC while continuing to provide support for our other managers as they continue fulfilling their existing responsibilities for current ODOT contracts.

CMEC has learned many lessons about how to work successfully with ODOT over the past several years:

• Our administration department works closely with ODOT’s invoicing staff utilizing TOPS; • We have worked on tribal coordination with Ms. Rhonda Fair and we know how to handle property owner notification tasks; • We understand that CMEC need not undertake agency coordination unless specifically requested; • We have developed internal ODOT contract management training materials and checklists to help us monitor the many moving parts of project development; • We have created project tracking programs using Trello (see snapshot provided later in our proposal) to ensure staff members can see which items have been completed and which need to be done for any given project Task Order; • To stay current with your expectations, we have sent our staff to ODOT trainings including for archeology, planning and public involvement for Environmental Justice and Title VI compliance.

We are committed to ODOT which is why we continue to build our staff capabilities in Oklahoma City and Tulsa. To enable our current project and contract managers to continue providing high quality service to ODOT and the counties they serve, we propose the strength of our full professional bench plus these two dedicated, experienced environmental specialists to enhance our professional commitment to ODOT.

CMEC is an Oklahoma-certified DBE firm and will provide all work except for the hazardous waste deliverables that would be provided by FNI if needed. CMEC has recently completed our FAR audit and provided that information to ODOT in July 2020. We greatly appreciate the opportunity to submit this Letter of Interest. Please feel free to contact Jarrod Powers at (405) 589-4573, Will Dillsaver at (918) 850-0991, or Ashley McLain at (512) 299-6856 for questions or clarifications.

8. Use this space to provide any additional information or description of resources (including any computer design capabilities) supporting your firm's qualifications for the proposed project.

FNI has a 45-member Environmental Science Group with extensive experience in providing environmental assessment services for transportation and public infrastructure projects. FNI is currently providing those types of services to clients in Oklahoma, including ODOT and the City of Oklahoma City. We employ staff with professional licenses/certifications such as: • Professional Wetland Scientists • Professional Geoscientists • Certified Arborists • Certified Wildlife Biologists • Certified Fisheries Professionals • Certified Professionals in Erosion/Sediment Control

FNI has performed various levels of Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) for public sector clients. We have performed ESAs for projects where a client is buying a property and for projects where only easements/rights-of-way are being acquired. We have worked closely with client legal representatives to make certain that CERCLA liability protection is maintained when a client must purchase a potentially contaminated site to accomplish project development objectives. When recognized environmental conditions, such as potential contamination, are discovered, we utilize our knowledge of facility operations to help us focus the scope and cost of Phase II ESAs. In addition, the FNI Project Manager, Kimberly Buckley, P.G., is a member of the ASTM International Subcommittee (E-50) responsible for the development, maintenance, and oversight of the industry standards used to perform and prepare environmental site assessment documents.

FNI has worked extensively with the closure of various types of sites with petroleum storage tanks, process equipment, contaminated soils, and investigation-derived waste in the past 20 years. We are familiar with requirements for waste characterization, preparation of plans and specifications for removal/remediation, and various documents required by regulatory agencies and disposal facilities for the classification and proper disposal of regulated and hazardous materials and wastes.

FNI’s Environmental Science Group employs GIS Analysts who work with our ecologists and geoscientists to conduct spatial analyses and prepare maps and other figures to support our NEPA documents and permit applications. We utilize ArcGIS in conjunction with other software platforms, such as Microstation, AutoCAD and other design software. We can utilize remote sensing data sources, aerial photography and other sources of data to conduct desktop environmental studies that are often the first step in environmental anayses for a transportation project.

CMEC Tools and Innovations

CMEC utilizes multiple tools and processes for our internal tracking systems and for accurate data collection. CMEC has implemented an innovative management process that ensures we remain on schedule for submittals and effectively accelerates our process. One such tool for tracking projects is software called Trello. We use different boards to track different project types (e.g., ODOT Local Government Projects) and project elements (e.g., project milestones).

The Local Government Board host an identification card that centralizes project information for each TO. The program has a search function which allows us to search by client, discipline, or review status (see snapshot from GIS Trello board). During weekly team meetings, we use Trello to review the status of each project, discuss how to handle challenges, and ensure all steps are being taken to meet ODOT requirements.

CMEC has recently expanded the integration of technology into our historic survey practices. Prior to field survey, CMEC historians complete a desktop review to determine the location of historic-age resources. Points for each resource are added to an online ARCGIS map that historians and GIS analysts can access. Historians use digital maps on tablets in the field to move and edit data points which streamlines production of report graphics.

CMEC ecologists use Trimble Units with sub-meter accuracy for precise data collection during wetland delineations and other select surveys to ensure we are providing accurate information to our clients. CMEC continually works to provide the necessary tools to enable our environmental specialists to continually improve data collection and report products.
