Dear Mr. Wheeler:

Gale Associates, Inc. is pleased to submit this Statement of Qualifications to provide primary engineering services in accordance with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular 150/5100-14E at the Berlin Regional Airport. Our submission highlights successful airport planning, design, construction management, coordination, and administrative services completed by Gale in partnership with our clients and demonstrates the depth and capabilities of our team. Gale is fully qualified to serve the City of Berlin and Berlin Regional Airport with On-Call Engineering and Planning services. Gale’s Aviation Engineering and Planning Group has provided airport engineering and planning services throughout New England for over 30 years. We are currently on-call consultants for several airports in New Hampshire, including Nashua (Boire Field), Lebanon Municipal, and Mount Washington Regional Airports. We have performed numerous projects for these airports from planning studies to major engineering and construction efforts. Given our proven history of completing projects in New Hampshire and the New England Region, which are similar in nature to those outlined in your Request for Qualifications, Gale is prepared to assist as an extension of the Berlin Regional Airport staff immediately. As a corporation, Gale has been providing planning, engineering, and architectural consulting services for public and private clients for over 56 years. We assist with all aspects of planning, permitting, designing, constructing, and administering both AIP and non-AIP funded projects.

Many of these projects have been accomplished in complex environments, including significant fresh and saltwater wetlands, marshlands, riverine areas, floodplains, rare species habitats, and sole source aquifer protection areas. These environmental constraints have required careful analysis and implementation of various (and often creative) engineering and environmental mitigation solutions.

Gale has considerable experience working with the FAA, NHDOT/BA, and the myriad of stakeholders and agencies who are critical to a project’s success. Our services include providing clients with assistance throughout the entire program life cycle, from project inception to closeout. Specifically, we will assist with the following assignments, and other tasks if not referenced specifically:

 Development of Airport Capital Improvement Programs (CIPs)  Preparation of Grant Applications and Grant Reimbursement Requests 2021 Jet-A Fuel Installation, Auburn-Lewiston  Project scoping, scheduling, and budgeting Airport  Environmental compliance (NEPA), including local, state, and federal environmental permitting  Planning, engineering design, permitting, bid, and construction phase services (including resident engineering with in-house staff)  Bidding assistance, including bid-tabulation and recommendation of award  Development of FAA DBE Plans and associated reporting  Continuous project and grant management, and administration through project closeout

In addition to these services, the Gale team is comprised of Registered Professional Engineers, Planners, Architects, and Building Enclosure Specialists who are available to the City of Berlin and Berlin Regional Airport, as needed. We have the in-house staff expertise, capabilities, and depth to perform throughout the term of this contract. Where specialty services may be required, we have assembled a qualified team of subconsultants: NewEarth Ecological Consulting (DBE) for environmental services, Holden Engineering and Survey for land survey services, and Nobis Group (DBE) for geotechnical engineering. We have selected these firms for their quality services and their experience working in New Hampshire. In short, Gale will provide the City of Berlin and Berlin Regional Airport the experience and staff of a large firm, and the client service and attentiveness of a small, local firm.

We look forward to the opportunity to partner with the Berlin Airport Authority to assist your team of professionals with the continued development of the Airport as a critical regional transportation resource. Should you have any questions, or if you would like to discuss our submittal in detail, please do not hesitate to contact me at 603-471-1887, or at [email protected].

The following case studies represent Gale’s track record with similar transportation projects and our ability to meet schedules and deadlines:

CASE STUDY 1: Runway 14-32 Reconstruction Fitchburg Municipal Airport, Fitchburg, MA

During preliminary site investigations, design, and construction, this project was confronted with unique challenges that threatened the project schedule. These challenges included the discovery of an abandoned landfill where a runway extension was planned; the need for an updated Exhibit ‘A’ Property Map; and significant erosion of the riverbank along the Nashua River in proximity to the Runway 32 end that jeopardized the long-term integrity of the Runway. Gale was able to seamlessly coordinate with the funding agencies, City officials, permitting agencies, and contractors to address each challenge and maintain the project schedule while completing the project under budget.

CASE STUDY 2: Runway 06-24 Reconstruction Biddeford Municipal Airport, Biddeford, ME

This project included design, permitting, bidding, and construction phase services for the full-depth reconstruction of Runway 06-24 and its Runway Safety Area. This project was originally intended to be divided into two separate grants: one for design, permitting, and bidding, and the other for construction. On behalf of the Airport, Gale submitted an application to the FAA for Supplemental Appropriations funding for approval to fund the project at 100%, negating the need for the City to allocate a “local share” of funds to the project. The runway reconstruction and compliant Runway Safety Area were completed on time and under budget.

Request for Qualifications Primary Engineer - Berlin Regional Airport

8. Familiarity with Regulatory and Funding Agencies

Gale personnel have valuable experience with both the Federal Aviation Administration Airport Improvement Program and the New Hampshire Department of Transportation Bureau of Aeronautics programs. A number of these projects are shown in the “Resumes of Key Personnel”. Through years of experience, our team has become intimately familiar with the AIP Handbook and FAA Advisory Circulars (ACs), Orders, Standards, Construction Specifications, and Design Criteria. Other state and federal regulations that Gale has experience with include FAA 7460-1: Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration, USEPA Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (both Construction SWPPP and Industrial SWPPP), US EPA National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permit Compliance During Construction, George D. Harlow (NPDES) Stormwater Program, US Army Corps of Engineers, Field, Marshfield, MA National Environmental Policy Act, and other local, state, and federal authorities having jurisdiction over various project aspects.

In addition, Gale has administered a multitude of local, state, and federally funded airport projects on behalf of our clients. Gale staff is adept at navigating permits and regulations, including local land use and zoning, wetland protection and other applicable environmental regulations unique to each community. We have also worked with local fire departments, building inspectors, electrical inspectors, and police departments in submitting permit applications for facility projects such as fuel storage tanks, hangars, and electrical vaults. Further, we have successfully assisted clients in securing approvals from state programs such as the NHDES Alteration of Terrain Bureau, Stormwater Program, and Groundwater permitting and discharge programs, the State Historic Permit Compliance for Installation in Wetlands, Nashua Preservation Office (SHPO), Tribal Historic Preservation Office Airport, Nashua, NH (THPO), and the State Fire Marshall.

PROJECT APPROACH

City of Berlin

Request for Qualifications Primary Engineer - Berlin Regional Airport

9. PROJECT APPROACH

Gale’s philosophy is: “Make our client’s project a reality.” This philosophy is the catalyst and driving force for every project that we undertake. To guide projects toward successful completion, we partner with our clients and become an extension of their staff. Our goal is to complete the project while leaving the airport staff free to manage the day-to-day business. Gale has the ability and desire to assist the Berlin Airport Authority and the Berlin Regional Airport to complete airport projects in a seamless, timely, and effective manner.

Project Development / Preliminary Phase Before initiating services on a project, Gale’s project team will meet with Airport Management and its stakeholders to discuss all aspects of the proposed project. The purpose of this meeting will be to review development limitations, gather relevant information (e.g., operational requirements, user and tenant considerations, protected natural resources), agree upon project expectations, and assemble information necessary to apply for funding assistance. We will use this information to develop grant applications including a detailed scope of services, schedule, and budget to successfully complete the project.

Design Phase Once the scope, schedule and budgets are established, Gale will begin the design phase. In this phase, we gather information, evaluate options, and develop alternatives necessary to meet Berlin Regional Airport’s needs. We validate and identify project constraints and FAA and NHDOT/BA requirements. The objective of this phase is to design a project that is understandable to non-engineer stakeholders and meets the requirements of the funding agencies.

A project phasing plan is an important component of an airfield construction project, especially for projects that present operational impacts or facility closures. Gale’s team has extensive experience assisting clients with the development of project phasing plans. We pride ourselves on developing creative and comprehensive phasing concepts to meet FAA and NHDOT/BA requirements while meeting our client’s and stakeholders needs and expectations. The project phasing plan is a critical part of the overall project design as it will be used to manage and minimize the impact of construction on airport operations and staff.

Depending on a project’s size and complexity, Gale generally utilizes the 30%/60%/90%/100% design process for our design projects. Throughout the design phase, we will coordinate, prepare for, and attend design review meetings and other meetings with Berlin Regional Airport to provide updates on project status, and we will review, research, and evaluate design options and industry standards that fit the Airport’s project requirements.

Bidding After the design is complete, the bid documents (plans and specifications) are finalized to include new information and to incorporate the requirements of the FAA, NHDOT/BA, and Berlin Regional Airport. We will assist the Airport with publicly bidding the project by preparing the required documentation. Gale has significant experience with the bid requirements and processes for public sector airport renovation projects. We have successfully assisted our clients with bidding hundreds of public projects and will assist the Airport with the administration of the bid process.

Gale will work with Airport staff to advertise, post, issue addenda if needed, and conduct pre-bid and bid opening meetings. Once bid, we will contact references, review and confirm the bid, prepare a Notice of Award and contracts for review by the client, request a detailed construction schedule, coordinate a pre-construction meeting with the contractor, client, and other stakeholders as requested, and assist with issuing a Notice to Proceed to the contractor.

9. Project Approach Page 2

Grant Administration Gale understands the administrative processes required for AIP and DOT funded projects. We will aid with the preparation of grant applications, submitting federal and state requests for reimbursement and financial updates, as well as, the development and implementation of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Plans, among numerous other administrative tasks required. We will provide administrative support to the City of Berlin and the Berlin Regional Airport throughout the lifespan of the project.

Construction Phase Once the project has been awarded, we will assist the Airport in preparing for construction. Gale has more than 30 years of experience providing construction phase services to airport clients in a wide variety of construction projects. Gale’s construction services include: . Daily coordination of project progress with Owner . Review of Contractor payrolls and documents for and Contractor compliance with federal requirements . Review of Contractor Submittals . Preparation of pay estimates . Preparation of Reimbursement Requests . Weekly construction progress meetings . Preparation of “As-Built” drawings for the Owner . Tracking of construction quantities

Resident Engineer Gale resident engineers have successfully completed projects comparable to those outlined in the RFQ for more than 30 years. Our engineers are experienced with all types of airport construction projects and have worked with contractors for the benefit of our clients.

Our resident engineers are skilled at helping our clients achieve a quality finished product. Our resident engineers will: . Observe construction for plan and specification . Create a Punch List compliance . Attend weekly construction progress meetings . Coordinate daily schedule with contractor and . Update project calendar airport . Check for Buy American compliance . Monitor adherence to safety plans . Track for DBE compliance . Track field changes or deviations . Review shop drawings . Maintain testing reports . Prepare daily, written progress reports, testing . Update “As-built” drawing notations during summaries, obtain and file warranty and construction operational manuals . Track, measure , and record quantities . Prepare testing summaries . Maintain and file all relevant documentation . Assisting with project closeout . Assist project manager and client with closeout

Quality Assurance Testing & Environmental Monitoring and Compliance We have teamed with local firms, Nobis Group (DBE) to provide geotechnical engineering services, Holden Engineering to provide survey services, and NewEarth Ecological (DBE) to provide environmental monitoring and compliance services during construction. Each of these firms are well-respected in their individual fields and have provided services to airports throughout New Hampshire and New England.

Project Closeout Phase Gale will assist the Airport in properly closing AIP grants and has done this for hundreds of AIP funded projects. Throughout the construction process, we will prepare and organize the required documentation (i.e., as-built plans, material testing summaries, construction photographs, operations, and maintenance manuals, etc.) necessary for the final closeout submission. Once all contractual and construction requirements are complete to the satisfaction of the Airport, we will prepare the required closeout documentation for submission.
