n 2003 Weston & Sampson was retained by the City of Northampton to provide Isurvey and design services for the improvements to the intersection of North Main Street (Route 9), Bridge Road and the entrance to Look Park. Data showed that, over a 3-year period, the existing intersection experienced heavy traffic volumes (nearly 30,000 vehicles per day), significant queuing and nearly 30 serious accidents. The intersection serves as a link between Look Memorial Park, the Norwattuck Rail Trail, the Northampton Bikeway, the J.F. Kennedy School, Bear Hill Estates (an over age 55 community), a residential neighborhood and a bus stop, Intersection - before resulting in substantial pedestrian and bicycle activity through the project corridor.

Weston & Sampson performed vehicle traffic counts and an intersection analysis. Through several meetings with the City, Look Park representatives and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), a decision was made to incorporate an unsignalized roundabout at the intersection.

Weston & Sampson prepared and submitted preliminary (25%) and final (75%, 100% and PS&E) design to MassDOT for review and approval, which included a Functional Design Report (FDR), early environmental coordination, attendance at a 25% Design Intersection - after Public Hearing, coordination with utility owners, soil test pits, and initiation of a public participation program. Features of the first roundabout constructed by MassDOT in Western Massachusetts included ornamental lighting, monitoring cameras, resin truck apron and crosswalks, a bicycle bypass ramp, landscaping and a connection between the Norwattuck Rail Trail and the Northampton Bikeway.

The project was advertised in 2009 and was completed in 2010, six months ahead of schedule and under budget.

he Town of Barnstable selected Weston & Sampson to provide pro- Tfessional civil, traffic, and electrical engineering and landscape architectural services for the revitalization of Main Street in Hyannis. The design included the up- grading of traffic signals, sidewalk plantings, street furniture, and lighting, all in accordance with the standards developed by the Waterfront Historic District Com- mission. Weston & Sampson also designed roadway and storm drainage system improvements and investigated the feasibility of relocating the existing overhead utilities underground. Funded by a Public Works Economic De- velopment (PWED) Grant, the project was developed in coordination with the Town of Barnstable’s Department of Public Works Engineering Division, the Hyannis Main Street Business Improvement District, the Hyannis Chamber of Commerce, the Hyan- nis Redevelopment Action Team, and the Waterfront Historic District Commission.

eston & Sampson was retained by the City of Cambridge to imple- Wment multi-modal transportation improvements to Broadway between First and Ames streets.

Based on in-depth study of the traffic counts along that block, it was determined that a reduction in travel lanes would not negatively impact the flow of traffic in or out of the Kendall Square area. This design strategy allowed for the inclusion of 5-foot wide bicycle travel lanes, turning lanes, and an expanded lane for taxi queuing, and a bus pull-in in front of the Marriott Hotel.

Changes will also include prioritizing the pedestrian circulation through grading level crossings at driveways and aligning the mid-block crosswalk to be perpendicular to the flow of vehicular travel. The reduction of lanes from two to one removes the “double-jeopardy” conditions pedestrians are subjected to currently.

All of these changes will create a safe corridor that will support the various modes of transportation that make rigorous use of Broadway.

Construction is anticipated in fall 2011.

The design was funded by the town and was reviewed and approved by MassDOT and is scheduled for construction in the Spring of 2008.

The area surrounding the intersection is primarily light residential, single-family homes. The immediate area also contains the Grafton Water and Sewer Department building on Millbury Street, west of Rt. 122. The Grafton Police Department is located north of the intersection approximately three-quarters of a mile on Rt. 122. The Grafton High School is also located on Rt. 122 approximately one mile north of the intersection. Before The improvements at the intersection are designed to facilitate efficient traffic flow and increase vehicular and pedestrian safety. After collecting existing traffic data and accident history of the intersection, Weston & Sampson evaluated the existing conditions of the current unsignalized intersection and evaluated the differences in Level of Service (LOS) with the addition of new traffic signals. Based on the results of the evaluation, we identified the following improvements for the town:

• Roadway widening • Horizontal alignment adjustments to accommodate new lane configurations • Adjustments and reconstruction of the existing drainage system • Proposed traffic signal installation • Channelization of traffic flow After • New pavement markings and sign installations This project required the design of a • Use of video detection in lieu of more temporary traffic signal to alleviate con- commonly used wire loop detectors gestion at this intersection during the design phase.

These improvements include approximately 3.4 miles of roadway along Brooks Station Road and Boylston Street from the Rutland town line to the intersection of Hubbardston Road (Route 62) and Worcester Road (Route 51). Railroad before Railroad after The project will include:

• Pavement reclamation • Full-depth widening • Minor geometric improvements at the intersection with Mathews Lane (two locations) • Drainage improvements, including culvert replacement • Existing catch basin removal • Incorporation of new vegetated swales • New highway guard installation • New sign installation • New pavement markings The existing roadway consists of one lane in each direction, which varies in width from 21 feet to 28 feet with a grass shoulder on either side. There are five intersections Before along Brooks Station Road. All side streets entering Brooks Station Road are controlled using stop signs.

The Ball Hill Road intersection is a four-way stop intersection with a flashing red/yellow beacon supported with a span wire over the intersection. There is an active railroad crossing at approximate station 19+70 controlled by warning signs and flashing signal. Brooks Station Road lies within a county layout that varies in width from 50 feet to 80 feet. Properties along this section of Brooks Station Road are residential, and there are vegetated wetlands located within 30 meters of the existing edge of pavement at several locations.

The project is programmed for non-federal aid funding in the amount of $1,800,000 for advertisement in fiscal year 2005. After

he Town of West Boylston selected Weston & Sampson to provide pro- T fessional engineering services to design the reconstruction of Maple Street, between Shrewsbury Street and the Worces- ter city line. This 1.1 km long state aid project was initiated to address deficien- cies in the pavement structure and roadway width and to correct drainage and sight distance concerns. The work under this project, although independent of sewer improvements, is being coordinated with the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC) sewer project on Maple Street that was designed by Weston & Sampson and is currently in the bidding phase for construction.

The proposed improvements that are being incorporated in the design include grading, drainage, and paving improvements within the existing Maple Street right-of-way. There are a number of residences, mature trees, and historic stone walls that provide constraints on the design alternatives. We are addressing these issues in the project design in conjunction with an extensive public participation component.

PROJECT APPROACH AND SCOPE OF WORK

INTRODUCTION

Weston & Sampson's in‐house team will provide the complete range of planning, design and engineering services necessary for the preparation of Final Design Plans for the geometric improvements at the intersection of North King Street and Hatfield Street, including a sidewalk connection to the north along North King Street to the River Valley Market, to the south along North King Street to the Walmart, and to the west along Hatfield Street to the intersection with Cooke Avenue (Refer to Locus Plan). We will also evaluate Hatfield Street with respect to bicycle/pedestrian accommodation through the use of shoulder widening, new sidewalk or exclusive bicycle lane or combination thereof. We will also evaluate the possibility of incorporating a bus turnout/stop with shelter within the project limits (Refer to Locus Plan). It is our understanding the city expects this project to be reviewed and constructed by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), therefore, we will base our engineering designs on the relevant portions of MassDOT’s latest standard details and specifications and prepare the contract documents in such form and detail as is required by MassDOT.

We will perform the following scope of work to meet the criteria established in the Request for Proposals (RFP) for this project according to MassDOT standards that will result in a set of plans, specifications and construction estimates suitable for bidding, contract award and construction by MassDOT.

APPROACH

Field Investigation and Data Collection Our design team will utilize aerial mapping and all existing information from the city and MassDOT along with a comprehensive ground survey for the intersection and the portion of North King Street approximately 100 feet beyond the River Valley Market and Walmart respectively, and approximately 100 feet beyond the intersection of Hatfield Street with Cooke Avenue in each direction. Utility information will be collected from the city for all public utilities as well as from private utility companies for their respective utilities and included on the base plan. All work will be prepared in English units in accordance with the requirements and procedures outlined in the 2006 Project Development and Design Guide.

PROJECT APPROACH AND SCOPE OF WORK

Right‐of‐Way Based upon the RFP, it is our understanding that North King Street is within Massachusetts State Highway Layout (SHLO) and Hatfield Street is within city layout. We will perform the necessary research and collect relevant right‐of‐way information from the City, the Registry of Deeds and MassDOT if required in order to show the latest property lines and ownership information along the project corridor in the base plan. We will also identify and verify and locate (if necessary) existing boundary markers and USGS disks along the layout and include on the base plan.

Civil Engineering and Landscape Architecture All preliminary and final designs will be based upon the 2006 MassDOT Project Development and Design Guide and will consist of 25%, 75%, 100% and final PS&E submissions to MassDOT. These designs will focus on the Civil Engineering and Landscape Architectural elements of the project such as signalized/non‐ signalized configurations, geometry, lane arrangement, sidewalks and ADA/AAB considerations, planting, lighting, utility adjustments and associated impacts to SHLO and city right‐of‐way. All designs will be implemented after meetings with the city, MassDOT and all project stakeholders and after arriving at a consensus on the design issues. We will also be required to coordinate with the environmental section (Early Environmental Coordination), the Traffic section (Functional Design Report & Traffic Management), the Geotechnical Section (Pavement Design), Pedestrian/Bicycle Accommodation (ADA/AAB), Cultural & Resources section (Tribal & Historic) and the Landscape section (Plantings & Furnishings). In addition to coordination with MassDOT‐Boston, we will also work closely with the District 2 office through site visits and meetings to resolve specific design issues and future projects that may impact this project and connecting streets that are under state jurisdiction.

Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), CMAQ and other funding sources Although the RFP specifically references the STIP and the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program (CMAQ) as funding sources for the construction of this project, we believe this project may be eligible for other funding including:

MassWorks Infrastructure Program Previously referred to as the Public Works Economic Development (PWED) which now includes the previously known Community Development Action Grant (CDAG), MassWorks may provide construction funding for sidewalk and roadway improvements along Hatfield Street beyond the intersection in the event they are deemed ineligible under STIP.

City of Northampton, MA Consulting Services for the Functional and Detailed Design of the Hatfield Road and North King Street Intersection

PROJECT APPROACH AND SCOPE OF WORK

Safe Routes to School Established to enable and encourage children to walk or use a bicycle to go to school with the goal of improving safety, reducing traffic, reducing fuel consumption and air pollution in the vicinity of the school (i.e. J.F.K. School on Bridge Road). It may be possible to use this project to continue the sidewalk along Hatfield Street and connect to Bridge Road.

Transportation Enhancement Program The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) typically matches 80% while MassDOT and the City typically will match 10% of the total cost of the project. The city would be responsible for preparation and submission of a pre‐application to the Pioneer Valley Planning Agency (PVPC) and final application to the Transportation Enhancement Steering Committee for approval. Projects can apply for final design funds and/or construction funds and need to be at the 25% design level at the time the application is submitted. The project can be phased so that it receives final design funds one year and construction funds the next. Again, enhancement funds could be used for the current project or to make improvements from the Cooke Avenue intersection to Bridge Road.

Other State & Federal Funding Sources

. Highway Safety Improvement Program (bicycle/pedestrian safety projects) . Transportation, Community and System Preservation Program . Section 402 Highway Safety Program that typically sets priority to bicycle/pedestrian safety improvement projects . Transit Enhancement Funds (bicycle/pedestrian access to transit) . Chapter 90 Program & High Priority Project (HPP)

These are all funding sources that could be applied to this project or toward future adjacent projects. We will work with the city, MassDOT and the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission (PVPC) during the initial stages of the design to identify eligible funding and assist with preparing conceptual/preliminary designs, cost estimates and supporting documentation to apply for all grant/funding opportunities this project is eligible including STIP and CMAQ.

Public Participation and Meetings The Weston & Sampson team understands the importance of community involvement with this type of project. Once the survey is complete and the existing base plan developed, we will conceptualize and review various design alternatives as described in the RFP including signalized and non‐signalized options, identify project needs and desires, and create a layout that not only serves the needs of the community but satisfies the key objectives identified by the city in the RFP.

www.westonandsampson.com

City of Northampton, MA Consulting Services for the Functional and Detailed Design of the Hatfield Road and North King Street Intersection

PROJECT APPROACH AND SCOPE OF WORK

We will accomplish this through a series of public workshops, site visits, and meetings with city representatives and other project stakeholders to create working sketches and ideas that can be shown to the public during the public participation process. In addition to monthly progress meetings and the required 25% Design Public Hearing, Weston & Sampson will work with city and local officials to initiate an interactive public participation process that may include conducting public workshops at the site, periodic walkabouts on a weekend, informational booths at local farmer’s markets (i.e. River Valley Market), orchards, city‐based events like craft fairs, information flyers, and providing graphics/concepts for the general public on the city website or on display at the city library, city hall, U.S. Post Office or other public venues. We believe it is imperative the project be presented to the community in the appropriate format and venue in order to gain input before, during and after the design process. CommunityWalk.com is a web‐based venue designed to collect site specific feedback for improvement projects. This interface successfully provides a public forum for comment in a collaborative format. Users may add comments, photos, and rank others comments to show support, etc. The following image is a screenshot from the website that our project team has set up as a demonstration for the City’s consideration.

PROJECT APPROACH AND SCOPE OF WORK

SCOPE OF WORK

TASK 1.0 Field Investigation and Data Collection This effort will include field investigations and data collection that will culminate in a complete and comprehensive inventory of existing physical features within the project corridor. All available plan and record information pertaining to utilities, property lines, ownership and other relevant data will be collected and included on the base plan where appropriate. Right‐of‐Way (ROW) information will be included on the base plans from available information and will be tied down to physical monuments; however, no property line survey or deed research will be undertaken under this contract. Property lines will be plotted from available Assessor’s information, latest plans from the Hampshire Registry of Deeds and MassDOT and added to the plans for coordination purposes only. The city will provide locations of the existing water main and any city owned utilities within the project limits to be included on the base plans and we will investigate private utility locations from the respective utility owners. On‐the‐ground survey will be performed to locate all appropriate existing physical features including roadway edge treatments, fences, driveways, retaining walls, mailboxes, walls, waterways, culverts, overhead utilities, existing trees as required, hydrants, drainage structures, pipe sizes, rim and invert elevations for drainage systems.

All field surveys will be performed by the use of the State‐of‐the‐Art electronic field equipment and Base Plans plotted by means of our in‐house CADD systems. All work will be performed in accordance with latest MassDOT standards and be tied into the Massachusetts State Plane Coordinate System.

In order to understand the existing pavement structure along North King Street and Hatfield Street and as required by the 2006 Project Development and Design Guide, Weston & Sampson will perform soil borings/test pits/soil probes at specific locations within the project limits. We will perform a maximum of three (3) borings or five (5) geo‐probes, and two (2) soil test pits within the project limits, whichever is acceptable to MassDOT. If a signalized option is selected, soil borings will be performed at the approximate location of the proposed traffic signals and used to design the foundations. Soil borings will be performed by a qualified drilling company, approved to perform such work for the city and MassDOT and we assume one day to complete this work. If a non‐signalized option is selected, geo‐probes will be performed at specific locations within North King Street and Hatfield Street to better understand the existing pavement structure and to develop proposed pavement designs. Regardless of which option is selected, it is assumed that two (2) test pits will be performed to better understand the underlying soil(s) in non‐paved areas. It is assumed the city will provide a backhoe and operator to perform the test pits.

We will utilize any traffic data available from the city, MassDOT or the PVPC and perform new vehicle counts (automated and manual turning movement) at the intersection that will identify the number of vehicles entering the intersection and the type of vehicle (i.e. single car, 2 axle truck, 3

www.westonandsampson.com

City of Northampton, MA Consulting Services for the Functional and Detailed Design of the Hatfield Road and North King Street Intersection

PROJECT APPROACH AND SCOPE OF WORK

axle truck etc). We will also obtain accident data information along North King Street and Hatfield Street from MassDOT and the Northampton Police Department dating back three years within the project limits.

TASK 2.0 Preliminary (25%) Design The following work effort will be included in the Preliminary Design Phase of this project:

Functional Design Report We will utilize new traffic data to evaluate the intersection with respect to turning movements, safety, vehicles queues and delays and consider/recommend various traffic improvements that may include new traffic signals, a modern roundabout, crosswalk relocation, signage or geometric upgrades. We will identify all design constraints and impacts as a result of the proposed design, including right‐of‐way, utilities, environmental and trees. We will then meet with the city and develop alternative designs and solutions including associated preliminary construction costs.

After resolution of the city’s review comments on the draft alternatives, we will prepare a Functional Design Report (FDR) that will include an analysis of all data related to the existing traffic volumes, accident occurrence, turning movements, existing alignment and roadway geometry and other pertinent information to arrive at appropriate design recommendations based on a design year of 2031. In addition, we will utilize the traffic data to determine proper geometric layout, evaluate warrants for traffic signals, future traffic volumes, and determination of capacity and level of service and used in all existing and projected analyses with respect to conformance with MUTCD.

Weston & Sampson will focus on the following key technical issues to ensure that the project progresses smoothly and is successfully completed:

. Analyze accident records for the three most recent years within the project corridor . Develop the most efficient geometric configuration and layout within the available right‐of‐ way . Identify appropriate, as well as aesthetically pleasing, traffic calming measures for each applicable intersection or driveway entrance . Provide safe and accessible pedestrian crossings, including wheelchair ramps, to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations . Develop an effective construction phasing plan to facilitate pedestrian and vehicular traffic during construction

Preliminary Design Upon completion and acceptance of the FDR by the city, we will meet with city officials and discuss intersection improvement options including a fully‐actuated signal or a non‐signalized scenario including a modern roundabout. As part of our proposal we have utilized previous traffic counts provided by the city as part of the RFP and developed a conceptual layout as follows (Refer to attached schematic sketches):

www.westonandsampson.com

City of Northampton, MA Consulting Services for the Functional and Detailed Design of the Hatfield Road and North King Street Intersection

PROJECT APPROACH AND SCOPE OF WORK

Intersection Improvements

Option A – Signalized The signalized concept accommodates a WB‐50 (semi‐trailer) vehicle turning left onto Hatfield Street from the south and allows pedestrians to cross from the west side of Hatfield Street to the west side of North King Street and continue toward the Walmart or continue along either the east or west side of Hatfield Street toward Cooke Avenue. This option will require relocation of at least 2 utility poles, significantly increases the amount of pavement over existing, requires a raised island to control traffic, right‐of‐way takings from two private abutters, and alteration of State Highway Layout. We estimate approximately 6000 square feet will be required from land now or formerly (n/f) of Mark’s Motors and will eliminate available parking for the site and approximately 2000 square feet will be required from land n/f of Skibiski.

Option B – Roundabout Incorporating a non‐signalized option (i.e. roundabout) at this intersection will accommodate a WB‐ 65 as required by MassDOT from either approach, will allow safe pedestrian access from either approach and future access to either side of Hatfield Street or North King Street, will significantly reduce vehicle speeds along Hatfield Street and North King Street and reduce delays and queuing along Hatfield Street. This option will also require relocation of at least 2 utility poles, approximately 6000 square feet from land n/f of Mark’s Motors, approximately 7500 square feet from land n/f of Skibiski and approximately 500 square feet from land n/f of Northampton Transmissions. This option will also require alteration of State Highway Layout.

At this point of the process we will review advantages/disadvantages with respect to geometry, traffic flow, right‐of‐way impact (public and private), aesthetics as well as construction and maintenance costs. The two concepts will be presented to the community at a public workshop that will allow all project stakeholders to visualize the proposed improvements, understand the impacts, ask questions, voice concerns (and support) which will then be reviewed and considered before preparing the preliminary designs.

Pedestrian/Bicycle Accommodation During this phase of the design we will also evaluate Hatfield Street with respect to accommodating pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular traffic. As evident from the speed study data provided in the RFP and from recent observations, vehicles are travelling along this corridor at a high rate of speed along a very narrow paved corridor with utility poles and trees located along both sides and very close to the edge of the roadway. We will evaluate the effectiveness of a sidewalk, bike lane, shoulder widening along one or both sides of the roadway or combination thereof, develop a viable alternative that reduces or eliminates impacts to existing right‐of‐way, utility poles, grass slopes and the need for retaining walls. Once the alternative is approved by the city, we will incorporate into the preliminary design.

City of Northampton, MA Consulting Services for the Functional and Detailed Design of the Hatfield Road and North King Street Intersection

PROJECT APPROACH AND SCOPE OF WORK

As described in the RFP, it is our understanding the city desires to incorporate a new sidewalk along North King Street from the River Valley Market to the Walmart. We believe this is an opportunity to not only provide a connection for pedestrians and bicyclists from the Food Coop to the Walmart and points south, but establish this corridor as a gateway into the city via North King Street to downtown or via Hatfield Street to Bridge Road and eventually to the J.F.K. School, Look Park, the Northampton Bikeway and the Norwattuck Rail Trail. We believe this is an opportunity to enhance this corridor that may include wayfinding signs, period lighting, landscaping and other miscellaneous improvements including bio‐retention swales. We will engage the city and community early on in the design process to explore these options and incorporate into the preliminary design where appropriate.

Bus Turnout As stated in the RFP, the city desires to include a bus turnout(s) within the project corridor. It is our understanding that although Walmart is currently a major stop along the city bus system, the city has not determined exactly where the future stop(s) will be located. We see this project as an opportunity to meet with city officials, MassDOT and Walmart (if necessary) to evaluate various locations either along North King Street or Hatfield Street that will best suit the needs of the community. It may be beneficial to incorporate two or more stops, one along North King Street either in front of the Walmart or inside their parking lot; along North King Street in front of the River Valley Mart; or at the intersection of Hatfield Street and Cooke Avenue. We will coordinate with the city and MassDOT to investigate and develop a viable alternative that can be incorporated into the preliminary design.

Streetscape Improvements In addition to enhancements along North King Street, we believe this project provides an excellent opportunity to improve Hatfield Street as well. The intersection of Hatfield Street and Cooke Avenue is an ideal location to incorporate various upgrades that may include a tabled intersection, textured crosswalks, paver accents, period lighting, benches, landscaping and walkways. We also see opportunities to enhance the roadside with select vegetation and groundcover that will not only provide screening to adjacent properties but provide character and better define this intersection as a gateway to the city. We will work with city officials and property owners to develop a landscaping plan that is attractive, functional and easy to maintain.

After the various alternatives have been approved by the city and MassDOT, preliminary construction plans and details will be developed and submitted to the city for review and approval. These plans may include construction plan and profile sheets showing proposed drainage improvements, pavement rehabilitation details within the project area, roadway layout information, period lighting layout, drainage improvements, preliminary undergrounding/relocation of overhead utilities and construction details. Roadway cross sections will be provided at 50 foot intervals, driveways and at critical locations to assist in the determination of quantities.

www.westonandsampson.com

City of Northampton, MA Consulting Services for the Functional and Detailed Design of the Hatfield Road and North King Street Intersection

PROJECT APPROACH AND SCOPE OF WORK

We will develop temporary traffic management plans and details as part of the design. We will develop a preliminary construction cost estimate of the programmed improvements using MassDOT standard nomenclature and latest unit bid prices. Temporary traffic management plans and details will be developed to phase the project in order to enable North King Street and Hatfield Street to remain open to vehicle, pedestrian and bicycle traffic during construction. Although it may be necessary to detour traffic or close driveways in order to complete the work, disruption will be minor and coordinated with the resident or business owner and restored within a short time period.

Preliminary Right‐of‐Way Plans Once the survey base plans are complete, we will identify any permanent easements, land takings, alteration to existing State Highway Layout as well as temporary construction easements required for this project. This information will be shown on the preliminary right‐of‐way plans along with critical profile sheets and a parcel summary sheet as required by MassDOT‐Right‐of‐Way section. We will coordinate with and assist the city in obtaining rights‐of‐entry from each property owner within the project corridor if necessary. Preparing plans and descriptions for takings along Hatfield Street suitable for recording at the Registry of Deeds is not part of our scope and will be negotiated separately with the city. Similarly, preparation of instrument and layout plans and descriptions for any takings or alteration of SHLO along North King Street is not part of our scope and will be negotiated separately with the city.

Early Environmental Coordination As required by MassDOT and outlined in the 2006 Project Development Design Guide, we will initiate contact with the conservation, historic, and cultural commissions from the city and state (where appropriate such as State Historic Preservation Officer or SHPO) in order to address any concerns and impacts resulting from this project. This will include attending site meetings, contacts through letters, and presentations to committees and planning boards, as well as documenting and incorporating specific requirements into the design. We do not anticipate the need to file a Notice of Intent with the Northampton Conservation Commission, but are prepared to coordinate with the Commission regarding the existing detention pond located along North King Street in front of the River Valley Market and the vegetated swale from the market to the Hatfield Street intersection. We are also prepared to coordinate with any city department as necessary to permit this project including the Northampton Tree Committee. We do not anticipate the need to file with MADEP regarding a Notice of Intent (NOI), Request for Determination of Applicability (RDA), rare or endangered species, MEPA and/or MESA and consider this effort out of our scope and if required will be negotiated separately with the City.

PROJECT APPROACH AND SCOPE OF WORK

25% Design Submission The preliminary design plans will include typical sections, details and pavement notes, construction plans and profiles showing limit of work, sidewalk and roadway improvements, drainage and structure improvements, period lighting layout (if required) and landscaping. Our scope does not include a photometric analysis only an evaluation of existing conditions in order to layout the period lighting. We will also develop preliminary cost estimates using MassDOT standard nomenclature and the latest unit bid prices.

TASK 3.0 Final (75%, 100%, PS&E) Design

75% Design Once the base plans have been revised to reflect the existing conditions and sufficient coordination has been achieved between the city and MassDOT, we will prepare and submit 75% design plans to MassDOT consisting of the following:

Itemized Construction Estimate . Design Quantity Calculation Sheets . Drainage Calculations . Pavement Design Calculations

Final coordination with MassDOT will include delivery of electronic files of plans, special provisions, engineers estimate, detail quantity sheets, CE checklist, and any other required documentation, including stamped and signed Mylar sheets for advertisement by MassDOT.

TASK 4.0 Meetings and Coordination During the early stages of the design, the project will be presented to the public as part of a series of informal meetings/workshops with project stakeholders, including the city, MassDOT, project abutters (including residents and business owners), local officials, police, and emergency rescue personnel. We believe this is the best forum to reveal the project, allow the community an opportunity to fully understand the project and voice their concerns as well as support, and allow local officials the opportunity to respond.

PROJECT APPROACH AND SCOPE OF WORK

Projects of this nature are most successful when it responds to the specific needs of the community that it serves. Engaging designs convey the important sense of place that exists within the local context. They are crafted specifically for the environmental, social, and cultural conditions of the site they are destined to occupy. It is this belief that guides Weston & Sampson’s project team through the design process. Our team members have consciously chosen to focus their careers on public landscapes. We find this work most rewarding because the built form of these projects positively impacts the quality of life of many residents in our urban environment. The design is never the work of one team member, nor the work of only the design consultants. It is collaboration between the client, the entire design team, and the community.

Without input from the residents, it is unreasonable to expect park renovations to provide maximum benefits within the often‐limited budget. Weston & Sampson has organized and moderated in a wide variety of public design processes, and we are committed to achieving a critical level of cooperation and collaboration. Community interest and involvement is never a guarantee, but a thoughtful approach that engaged residents will facilitate active participation. Often, participation in the design process enrolls the residents and fosters a sense of ownership that will continue once the improvements are complete. This ownership provides a direct benefit to park operations in a cleaner site, and a positive presence that discourages crime and vandalism.

Weston & Sampson will prepare the necessary visual aids, attend meetings with city officials, MassDOT, residents, and other interested parties at various stages of the design, as well as assist MassDOT in the presentation of the proposed improvements at the 25% design public hearing.

In addition to public participation, it is equally important to maintain communication among project proponents, city officials, committee members, and local government officials throughout the design process. We will accomplish this through monthly progress meetings. Weston & Sampson anticipates attendance at approximately nine (9) official meetings as follows:

. One (1) kick‐off meeting with city officials and MassDOT (District 2) . Two (2) public informational/workshop meeting with the city and project stakeholders . A maximum of four (4) progress meetings with city officials, MassDOT/project abutters . One (1) coordination meeting MassDOT (Boston) & city DPW . One (1) 25% Design Public Hearing

TASK 5.0 Bidding and Pre‐Construction Administration

We understand MassDOT will be responsible for advertising, bidding, awarding and for providing construction oversight for this project. However, Weston & Sampson will provide the following:

. Assist MassDOT to prepare addenda and respond to questions and requests for information . Review contractor bids, evaluate high/low unit prices, and recommend award . Attendance and coordination during the pre‐construction meeting

SCHEDULE

Weston & Sampson maintains a staff of over 350 engineering, landscape architectural, and environmental professionals. Our team of qualified individuals includes Massachusetts registered Professional Engineers, Massachusetts Registered Landscape Architects, Massachusetts licensed Professional Land Surveyors, Professional Geologists, LEED‐accredited professionals (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), environmental scientists, architects, technicians and engineers who have successfully worked together on similar projects throughout New England. With this depth of resources, we have sufficient staff to work on several projects concurrently, enabling us to ensure staff continuity and prompt delivery of service.

PAST PERFORMANCE ON MUNICIPAL & MASSDOT PROJECTS

More than 80% of Weston & Sampson’s clients are municipalities in New England with issues similar to those facing the City of Northampton. A majority of our projects have been completed under high‐profile conditions and with critical schedule constraints. When limitations on municipal budgets arise, the need to control costs through quality designs and meet scheduling requirements to secure project funding become even more critical to a project’s success. We invite you to contact our client references provided in Section 3 to discuss our track record and commitment to quality.

CURRENT WORKLOAD WITH OTHER PROJECTS

We have structured our team for depth of technical competence and to provide significant production capabilities. Through our work on previous public and private sector projects, our project team members have proven themselves to be able to meet the quality and budget controls required by projects such as yours. Upon authorization to proceed, our team members will be immediately available to begin work. As your project progresses, we will continuously monitor our performance to verify our compliance with schedule and cost constraints.

In addition, we have carefully considered the current and planned workload of each of our team members to ensure that the work required by the City of Northampton is successfully completed in a timely manner. Though we do not anticipate conflicts between work assignments of our key personnel and your project, we are confident our depth of staff will allow us to reassign highly qualified personnel should such conflicts develop. Our project manager will work with the Department of Public Works and MassDOT to take the immediate steps necessary to reassign team personnel as needed to ensure schedule conformance. We will make no changes in personnel without the written consent of the city.

SCHEDULE

ANTICIPATED SCHEDULE

Weston & Sampson is prepared to begin the design upon execution of a contract or a Notice to Proceed, assumed to be on or about May 1, 2011. The following is a projected schedule to complete the design and permitting for this project:

Although the Request for Proposals (RFP) does not require a schedule or establish specific deadlines other than to cooperate/work with MassDOT in order to place this project onto the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) including completion of the Project Notification Form (PNF), Project Initiation Form (PIF) and completion of final plans review, approved and constructed by MassDOT, we believe it is important to establish a schedule with milestones for any project including yours and therefore have developed the following for your consideration:

TASK DESCRIPTION ESTIMATED SCHEDULE FOR COMPLETION Notice to Proceed May 1, 2011 Task 1 – Field Investigations and Data Collection On‐going Task 2 – Preliminary (25%) Design 25% Submittal October 2011 25% Review Period (City and MassDOT) January 2012 Design Public Hearing March 2012 Task 3 – Final (75%, 100%, PS&E) Design 75% Submittal May 2012 75% Review Period (City and MassDOT) July 2012 100% Submittal August 2012 100% Review Period (City and MassDOT) October 2012 PS&E Submittal November 2012 PS&E Review Period (City and MassDOT) December 2012 Bid Advertisement To Be Determined Task 4 ‐ Meetings & Coordination Included in Tasks Herein Task 5 – Bidding & Pre‐Construction Services Determined by MassDOT

This schedule is based on our estimated schedule of time to prepare each design submission and will be adjusted as required according to selected alternative and coordination with the city and MassDOT. The schedule includes estimated review periods for the city and MassDOT (at this time MassDOT has been estimating a three (3) month turn around for design submissions). The time frames for review periods by MassDOT are out of our control and will dictate the final end dates of each submission and the time that the project will go out to bid through MassDOT. Our experience with MassDOT and projects similar to yours is that the 75%, 100% and PS&E review periods typically take less time as the design issues are typically resolved during the early phases of the project.
