RE: Proposal – Main Street (Route 9) Complete Streets Design Services
Dear Mr. Feiden:
Greenman-Pedersen, Inc. (GPI) is excited about the opportunity to continue working with the City of Northampton to provide Complete Streets Design Services for Main Street (Route 9). This opportunity resonates with us as this is a unique opportunity to work with the City of Northampton to help transform Main Street into an attractive multimodal street that expresses Northampton’s environmental values and supports social gathering and the downtown community. We offer the city a robust team of leaders in street design and engineering tailored to the specific needs of Northampton.
Key reasons we feel we are uniquely qualified to champion this project for the city include the following:
▪ Firm Experience: GPI has taken numerous projects through the MassDOT project development and design process - we know what will be required every step of the way and can assist Northampton to navigate this process while developing a design for Main Street that will be funded, constructed and serve as a lasting source of pride for the community. Simply put, GPI knows what it takes to bring a project like this to completion. We are also aware that what Northampton wishes to achieve is not a typical MassDOT project. We will represent your vision and rely on our depth of experience with similar projects to bring to fruition a plan that will achieve your vision for Main Street.
▪ Project Manager: Mr. John Osorio will serve as the Project Manager. Mr. Osorio has 23 years of diverse experience in transportation engineering consisting of highway design, traffic signal design and construction inspection. Mr. Osorio has led both the Damon Road and Route 9 projects for GPI and has established working relationships with Northampton and MassDOT’s District 2. As Project Manager, he will provide leadership to the team and be responsible for overall project administration, technical assistance and serve as the primary point of contact for the project. Mr. Osorio will provide top-level guidance and oversight of the project team's activities to see that the project's progress, budget, and quality objectives are met in a satisfactory manner.
▪ Key Team Expertise: GPI staff supporting Mr. Osorio include Mr. John Diaz, PE, PTOE, who led the Transit Signal Priority (TSP) project and is a leading expert in Massachusetts on adaptive signal technologies, which may be a good fit for Northampton’s Main Street. Ms. Carolyn Radisch, AICP developed the Transit Mobility Alternatives Study and will lead the public outreach process on this project. GPI’s team also includes landscape architects Brown, Richardson and Rowe (BRR) for streetscape and urban design services. BRR is a Woman-Owned Business with a national reputation in transportation master planning, traffic calming, pedestrian and bicycle research and facility design, rail-trail planning and design,

and transit accessibility. GPI and BRR have established working relationships and are currently collaborating on street design and reconstruction projects for the City of Boston’s Public Works Department.
▪ Local Project Experience: We have had the opportunity to get to know Northampton through our work on the Damon Road reconstruction project, the Russell Street (Route 9) project in Hadley, and the Transit Mobility Alternatives Study. We understand what the city wishes to achieve with the Main Street project. We have reviewed the conceptual sketches and have the ability to take a fresh look at the project area. Our prior knowledge of the city will help us work efficiently to meet the project goals.
Perhaps our most important qualification, however, is our proven ability to envision compelling projects and to see them to fruition. With a reputation for getting things done, GPI blends the best of planning and design disciplines backed by a top-rated professional engineering firm. Our staff consists of a dedicated team of planners, engineers, and landscape architects who are committed to the success of this project. We know the project area well and can work effectively with the city and the community to develop a plan of improvements that meet the project objectives.
We wish to thank you for considering GPI and look forward to continuing work with City of Northampton to advance the goals and objectives of the city on this project. In selecting our team and preparing this proposal, GPI made a conscious effort to ensure that we can take a fresh look at Main Street and define a work effort that will bring the project to completion. We feel the GPI Team has the local knowledge, technical experience and staff resources required to successfully complete this project. If you have any questions, or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone at (978) 570-2964 or email at [email protected].

SECTION 100 PROJECT DEVELOPMENT ENGINEERING
101 Project Concept Preparation (Development of Purpose and Need)
Prepare a general description and definition of the project. Visit site and conduct preliminary surveys.
Review Existing Documents. GPI will review existing plans and documents and identify issues to be address in the next round of concepts.
Data Collection. Traffic Count and Crash data will be collected during this period in order to provide a basis for the project concept development. GPI will collect automatic traffic recorder (ATR) counts for a minimum 72-hour period to collect weekday and Saturday daily traffic-volumes, vehicle classification and vehicle speed data along Main Street (3 locations),
GPI will conduct manual turning movement and vehicle classification counts (TMCs), including pedestrian and bicycle counts, during the weekday AM and PM peak periods and Saturday midday peak period at the following study area intersections:
• Elm/West Street • State / New South Streets • Masonic Street • Crafts Ave. • Cracker Barrell Alley • Old South Street • Center Street • Gothic Street • Pleasant / King Street • Strong Ave / Merrick Lane • Market / Hawley Street
Crash Data. A crash analysis of study area intersections was conducted as a part of the January 2016 Walk/Bike assessment. Crash data utilized in that assessment include 2012 through 2015. GPI will collect recent crash data from the City and the MassDOT Crash Portal to supplement the 2016 report data and understand the crash patterns in the study area.
Field Survey. See Section 300. GPI will perform field survey of physical features within the rights- of-way of the project area, described as Main Street from and including MainStreet/Elm/West/State /New South Street to 300 feet east of the Bridge Street (Route 9)/Hawley/Market Street intersection. The survey will be used as the bases for the development of alternatives and the plans.
Signal Operation and Warrant Analysis. The operations of existing signalized intersections will be reviewed and warrants reviewed for unsignalized intersections based on MassDOT guidelines.
Utilities Research. See Section 300. GPI will contact the various utility companies and authorities, whose facilities may be affected by the proposed construction, to request from such companies and authorities the locations of existing facilities, together with proposed changes, if any. The capacity of

the stormwater system will be evaluated to collect and treat flows to provide the basis for consideration of low impact treatment options.
Field Reconnaissance. GPI will perform site investigations to observe the general site conditions, the relationship of buildings and doorway entrances to the sidewalk, traffic patterns, traffic management, potential detour routes, ADA compliance and other relevant features. Photographs and/or video will be taken for the existing street and surrounding environments.
Design Criteria. Design criteria for Main Street will be developed in cooperation with the City.
102 Preliminary Project Area Analysis
Prepare an overview that evaluates the project area in light of the project’s purpose and need to determine any additional studies that are beyond the Scope of Services that may be required. Also, examine planning any applicable criteria, degree of citizen and agency involvement and other issues and factors that may influence the design of the project provided by the Engineer.
Development of alternatives and a preferred concept plan will require a significant public outreach effort as described in the RFP. The following outlines the general outreach and concept development anticipated. The number of meetings and effort to develop concepts for each meeting may change as the project develops:
Coordination Meetings. We assume six meetings with the City of Northampton and MassDOT in the development of the Concept.
Abutters/Business Community Meetings. At least three focus groups/design workshops with the business community and abutters to understand and address their concerns through plan development. Given that there has not been abutter involvement to date, we see these meetings proceeding as follows (subject to refinement): (1) initial sharing of ideas and concerns, responses to concepts developed to date, and description of specific property considerations; (2) feedback on refined project concepts; and (3) presentation of recommended alternative.
Community Meetings. At least three focus group design workshops with the community (which would be held the same day as the business community meetings). We see these meetings proceeding as follows: (1) introduction of the project and review of concepts developed to date, sharing of ideas and concerns; (2) feedback on refined project alternatives; and (3) presentation of recommended alternative.
Tactical Urbanism Project. GPI will work with the Northampton community to organize a tactical urbanism or pilot of the preferred concept to bring the concept alive to the community. This project will require considerable community volunteer effort. GPI will collaborate with Northampton Planning and Sustainability, and Public Works and Police Departments to develop plans for the implementation. We will work closely with the city to ensure the implementation addresses concerns related to traffic, We will identify materials for the tactical pilot, and will provide staffing onsite to oversee installation. We assume that collection of materials, e.g., haybales, planters, flowers, cones, bollards, etc. will be undertaken by the city. We assume volunteers will assist with setup.
Public Meeting Advertising and Logistics. GPI will work with Northampton to develop public meeting notices, posters, and press releases. GPI will develop presentation materials (i.e., Powerpoint presentations, illustrated plans, feedback survey) for the City’s review. The City will be
Standardized Scope and Workhour Estimate Page 3 of 24 Rev 11/2013 Design Services for Main Street (Route 9) Northampton | 17
MASSACHUSETTS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION HIGHWAY DIVISION responsible for identifying and securing meeting spaces, distributing notices, providing refreshments for the meetings and providing a single set of directions for refinement of presentation materials.
Additional Meetings. Allowance for six additional follow-up meetings with abutters or stakeholders are provided.
103 Reasonable Alternative(s) Identification
Evaluate endorsed alternatives that meet the project’s purpose and need to determine, if they are feasible and reasonable.
Concept Plans. Conceptual alternatives will be developed for Main Street with the objective of enhancing safety, walking, bicycling, transit use, aesthetics and sense of place, low impact drainage and accommodation of on-street parking. Conceptual alternatives will be developed in plan and section and will be illustrated for public review.
104 Alternatives Analysis and Report Preparation

Smith College Main Campus Entry, Northampton, MA
Smith College chose Brown, Richardson + Rowe, Inc. to design the main entrance at the intersection of Elm Street and College Lane in Northampton, MA. In the past, visitors to the college had a hard time finding this important entry. Now two brick and limestone pillars similar in style to the pillars at the beloved Grécourt Gates at the nearby corner of Elm and West Streets help with wayfinding.
Two walls with limestone panels in front of magnificent shade trees border the entrance. Sidewalks on both sides of College Lane lead to the Admissions Office, the Lyman Conservatory and the Boathouse and Conference Center overlooking Paradise Pond. Engraved panels lit with LED lights welcome visitors on dark nights throughout the year. Curved walls provide seating along Elm Street. Construction was completed in 2017.

Smith College chose Brown, Richardson + Rowe, Inc. to redesign the President’s Garden. The luxuriant, walled colonial garden is next to the President’s House on the side of a hill overlooking Paradise Pond. It is also close to the main campus entry and the Admissions Office.
The garden was not accessible. The addition of new walls, paths, additional garden space accompanied by a complete regrading of the space made it possible to create a universally accessible garden for students, faculty and visitors.
The new summer house at one end of the garden provides a shaded place with seating with lovely views to the garden, the house and the pond. New seatwalls and benches give people a variety of places to relax and enjoy the space. The work was completed in 2016.

After Perspective looking East Toward Downtown Boston, MA Brown, Richardson & Rowe is working with Tetra Tech for the Boston Transportation Department on redesigning 1.75 miles of Charlestown’s Rutherford Avenue. The project extends from City Square to the Alford Street Bridge. A portion of the site is subject to coastal flooding that can spill into the low lying areas around the Schraffts Center during storms.
Improved connections and public transit to surrounding neighborhoods and commercial districts, are part of the Boston 2030 and Complete Streets resiliency plans. New linear parkland with multiuse trails, will be interplanted with trees, shrubs and groundcovers. Vegetated swales between curb and pathway along with underground deten- tion basins will increase ground water recharge and reduce pressure on existing overtaxed drainage systems in large storm events. Increasing open space for public access and connectivity will ‘hold’ the land in resilient form over time and reduce risk.

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE BROWN, RICHARDSON & ROWE BOSTON PARKS + RECREATION DEPARTMENT GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE GUIDELINES
PERVIOUS PAVERS POROUS PAVEMENT PERMEABLE PAVERS Permeable Surface Diagrams; Graphics by Horsley Witten
BRR is working in partnership with Horsley Witten Group to develop “park specific” Green Infrastructure Guidelines for future parks owned and managed by the Boston Parks and Recreation Department. The guide will describe appropriate practices for specific park contexts across the City of Boston. The design guidelines will ensure that the park’s integrity and the user’s experience are respected and enhanced by the inclusion of green infrastructure. There is a range of different types of parks in Boston. For example, when historic parks need to be adapted or altered to accommodate increased storm water and rising sea level, changes must be undertaken with sensitivity to both history and context. Retaining and maintaining character defining features and materials will be important in the restoration and rehabilitation of historic parks.
Green infrastructure technologies will help to slow, spread and sink storm water to mimic the natural hydrologic cycle. A key element in urban climate adaptation, green infrastructure can reduce demand on city storm water sys- tems, decrease urban heat island effect, increase biodiversity, air quality and soil health and enhance the quality of life of city residents.
The guidelines will suggest ways to advance multi-faceted community benefits. Performance criteria will guide location selection and design of green infrastructure and implementation strategies. This study will encourage the integration of appropriate green infrastructure technologies in public recreation spaces. Partnerships with other city agencies will be critical for achieving the ambitious municipal goals of sustainability and reslience.

SECTION 6: PROPOSED PROJECT FEE
The GPI Team understands that the city has allocated approximately $600,000 for the design of the Main Street Complete Streets reconstruction projects to date. Based on our past experiences with similar projects going through the TIP process including MassDOT review and construction, these projects typically cost between 12-15% of construction costs, with only limited public engagement during the Project Development phases. The two projects are currently on the TIP for over $7,000,000 in construction funding, which likely doesn’t include costs associated with any non-participating items. It is likely that based on detailed engineering estimates at the 75% and Final design phases, inclusive of non-participating items, that the actual construction costs for a project of this magnitude could be closer to $9-$10 million. Accordingly, the following is a summary of our proposed fees for these projects:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION PROPOSED HOURS PROPOSED FEE 607893 - Intersection Improvements 3,464 $573,600
608729 - Main Street Reconstruction 5,998 $940,200
COMBINED PROJECT 8,236 $1,298,000 Proposed Hours = Total Man hours for GPI and BRR combined. Proposed Fee = Total cost including all labor and direct expenses.
While we understand that these fees are more than the city has programmed and likely more than expected, we feel it is our professional obligation to be forthright on what we believe a project like this will inevitably cost to design. Our hope is that the city has come to respect our professional opinions and respect our up-front approach to project constraints, as we see them. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss our scope and fee for these projects with the city either informally or during a formal interview of shortlisted firms. We certainly are excited about this project and hope to have an opportunity to continue our working relationship with the city through the design of a Complete Street along Main Street.
The following pages contain the individual design fee estimates for both of the MassDOT projects (#607893 and #608729), as well as the combined fee estimate. GPI acknowledges that invoicing for this project will be on a time and expense basis not to exceed the proposed upper limit fee. 116 | Design Services for Main Street (Route 9) Northampton
