Appendix A Required Documents .......................................................................................... Appendix B Project Number: 0101-21-0117 Potesta & Associates, Inc. (POTESTA) is pleased with the opportunity to provide engineering services to West Virginia Department of Agriculture (Agency) for facility planning, access, and expansion at the Guthrie Agricultural Center located at Gus R. Douglass Lane, Charleston, West Virginia. As a leader in engineering design services with a diverse portfolio, POTESTA understands growth leads to expansion and expansion leads to opportunities. The Agency serves an invaluable role in the state of West Virginia to protect plant, animal and human health and the State’s food supply. POTESTA understands professional services to be provided for project include: • Evaluate current and potential routes—ingress/egress, traffic flow, access points (including security), and parking based on current facility operations and planned future expansion. • Develop recommendations for solutions—facility roads, access points, and overall facility expansion and evaluate adjacent properties (including survey and mapping) that may be integral to those solutions. • Design alternative routes—ingress/egress, secure access points, and parking improvements to support future facility operations. • Assist with bid evaluation and provide oversight and inspection services—facility road, traffic flow/ access, and parking improvements. POTESTA successfully completed a similar project for Marshall University Graduate College campus in South Charleston, West Virginia. Access to the school from Kanawha Turnpike was difficult because the Turnpike is one-way eastbound. Further expansion of classes at the college necessitated development of better access into the college campus. After a study of several alternatives, the recommended route called for changing Kanawha Turnpike to two-way traffic flow at the existing access road into the college. POTESTA has assembled a team that has historically served state agencies on numerous projects around the State of West Virginia. In fact, our staff has 150+ years’ experience working on contracts with the State of West Virginia and POTESTA currently maintains 10 master agreements with the WVDOH: • Engineering for roadway, bridge, and misc • Cultural resource services • Non-traditional transportation projects • Railroad, bridge, and misc • Surveying for highway, bridge and misc • Asbestos inspection and sampling • Engineering related to materials, control, soils, • Natural resource investigations surveys and testing division • NEPA compliance services • District-specific slide inspection services Our team is excited about the opportunity to serve the Agency on this project. POTESTA’s large, experienced staff allows us to respond quickly, be flexible, and provide the opportunity for high level input from in-house experts on complex multi-disciplinary projects, such as site development, infrastructure design, and roadway engineering for the expansion project at Guthrie Agricultural Center. Our project management staff has managed hundreds of projects and understands what it takes to bring ideas to fruition through cost- effective and often innovative designs. We take pride in our ability to work with our clients from the conceptual idea through the construction process, which is the most critical part of the project.
