PROJECT EXPERIENCE I-25 PEL Monument to Castle Rock, Douglas and El Paso Counties, Colorado Senior Geotechnical Engineer. Mr. Hunt oversaw the geotechnical investigation for this project. Scope: RockSol has performed a geotechnical investigation for the South I-25 Express Lanes, Monument to Castle Rock Project in Douglas and El Paso County, Colorado. This geotechnical investigation presents information on the existing pavement sections, subsurface soil, groundwater, and bedrock conditions obtained from soil borings and pavement cores performed within the project limits from north of Mile Post (MP) 161 to north of MP 179. Presently, I-25 consists of two general purpose lanes in each direction within the project limits. Preliminary design concepts include two general purpose lanes and one express lane in each direction with outside and inside shoulder areas and a buffer zone between the express lane and the general-purpose Lanes. The two general purpose lanes and the express lane are referred to as the 2-plus-1 configuration in this report. As part of the proposed construction, changes to the existing profile grade and lane configuration of I-25 and frontage roads are proposed. In addition to new lane configurations and profile grade changes, new bridge structures will be required at some locations, including modifications of bridge approach embankments.

ADDITIOINAL RECOVERY / MITIGATION PROJECTS BOULDER COUNTY, COLORADO In response to the Fourmile Canyon Fire of 2010, and the floods of 2013, Interwest provided critical assistance to the County of Boulder. Interwest primarily facilitated efforts regarding emergency roadway repairs, emergency demolition, and removal of health and safety hazards. In both cases, Interwest worked with FEMA public assistance representatives, National Resources Conservation Services (NRCS) representatives, EPA, US Army Corps of Engineers, and Colorado Department of Public Health (CDPHE) on roads where reimbursement would come from either FHWA or FEMA.
2010 Fourmile Canyon Fire Interwest served as the project manager to remove debris from the 170 structures destroyed by the fire. This included coordinating with fire survivors and their insurance companies, managing disposal of debris according to the State of Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) requirements, and managing the asbestos inspections to provide appropriate load closure and transport. This also included management of a program to evaluate and approve funding for fire survivors who needed financial assistance to remove debris. Significant coordination occurred with a variety of departments in the County including Public Health, Transportation, Resource Conservation, Commissioner’s Office, and Land Use. In the year immediately following the fire there was flooding in several burned watershed areas. Interwest provided emergency construction services to protect property and infrastructure in several canyon areas including Fourmile Canyon, Gold Run, and Fourmile Canyon Creek. In addition, in subsequent years Interwest installed erosion control devices in these canyons based on the recommendations of a watershed and drainage analysis prepared under the direction of the Transportation Department.

SECTION G Approach to Scope of Work
Funding and Grant Management Funding for the projects comes mainly through the FEMA Public Assistance program and HUD Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) program funding, in addition to other local, state and federal agencies. Our recent work with Boulder County, Larimer County and the City of Loveland flood recovery projects were funded from the same programs, giving our team specific and recent experience with adherence to these funding requirements. We know what it takes to satisfy the many critical aspects for the federal regulators to ensure proper reimbursement for the work. These include but are not limited to the following: • Grant Contracting – Important to establish the Designation of Authority and to properly complete the Request for Release of Funds (RROF) • Procurement – Important to follow strict guidelines related to advertising, DBE/Socio-economic partners, bidding, contract language, and Federal/HUD requirements. Both scheduled and unscheduled meetings with State representatives to review project status and ongoing documentation are anticipated. • Documentation – Properly complete a variety of forms and documentation including Duplication of Benefits Form, Cost Projections, Statement of Work and Milestones, Request for Reimbursement (RFR), Monthly Reports, Quarterly Performance and Financial Report, Monitoring, Low/Moderate Income (LMI) determinations, Environmental Clearances, Davis- Bacon Act, Equal Opportunity Hiring and Project Close-Out forms. Of primary importance to Interwest is ensuring the Town can be reimbursed to the fullest extent possible by any and all relevant funding sources. Interwest brings established contacts and excellent relationships with all of these agencies. In our approach to these disaster relief funded projects we will take any or all of a series of steps, developed over many years of providing disaster relief consulting services, which we have found to be efficient, effective and successful in achieving the desired results. Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Funded Projects: We recognize that the current list of projects identified in the RFQ are in varying states of design, procurement and construction and each project will require varying levels of effort from the consultant team. The lists below identify a typical approach our staff would take when initiating projects that may involve CDBD-DR funding and these same approaches will be used and modified to meet the specific needs of each project: 1. Establish a thorough understanding of the status of each of the Town’s CDBG-DR cases and coordinate with the Town Representative who is working on the cases. 2. Evaluate what will be needed to complete the cases to maximize reimbursement. 3. Meet with the reviewing agencies, (Kathy Fiedler and the team from Longmont, and Dave Bowman and the team from the State), gain an understanding of their particular issues that need resolution in order to move forward to obtain cases that can be reimbursed and will withstand the scrutiny of a Federal Audit. We will use our experience with both of these agencies working on CDBG-DR cases for Boulder County in this effort. We have worked on a
20
number of issues and understand the guidance and criteria that will be acceptable to the reviewing agencies. 4. Triage the cases by considering which cases have the most money in question, which ones can be prepared the most easily and which ones that the best chance of approval. 5. Develop an overall schedule on behalf of the Town and in consultation with the reviewing agencies for case submittal. 6. Establish a communication strategy with the reviewing agencies to make the submittal and reviews most efficient. 7. Report regularly with the appropriate staff person at the Town as to progress, to get direction on any policy issues and to develop solutions to problem cases. Federal Emergency Management Agency – Public Assistance (FEMA-PA) Funded Projects: 1. Review all projects that fall under the FEMA Public Assistance (PA) program and the various Categories of work. 2. Determine what categories of work the Town’s projects fall within. For instance, whether all of the projects and closeout for emergency work have been completed or if these are for permanent work. 3. Evaluate the status of all projects and review existing project documentation including Project Worksheets (PW), approved Scope of Work (SOW) etc. to determine completeness, and discuss status with the Town Representative. 4. Review previous quarterly progress reports as necessary 5. Coordinate with representatives of FEMA and the State to determine status of each case. This will include a careful review of project deadlines. 6. Develop a process to ensure that the project proceeds in a manner consistent with FEMA guidelines to ensure proper reimbursement using FEMA’s Public Assistance Program and Policy Guide(PAPPG), 7. This effort will be highly contingent on the number, nature and status of the Town’s PA projects. Civil Engineering Design For the design efforts associated with a few of the highlighted projects we propose a systematic approach. We will break the project into manageable pieces so that small yet key components will not get lost in the scope of the overall effort. After the initial notification of award, Interwest will immediately visit each sub-site with town staff and come to agreement on the scope and fee for each sub-site project. Each sub-site will be its own construction project and have its own set of design, review, and construction documents (because of the nature of clearances and funding). Interwest will be Lyons’ and the public’s advocate to maximize the available aid to the areas. With relief projects, the aid is for the purpose of putting things back to a pre-disaster state unless a piece of infrastructure was not up to current standards prior to destruction. As outlined in the Lyons Recovery Action Plan, much of the infrastructure did not meet current design standards prior to the flood event. We are also sensitive to Lyons’ natural beauty and the stated goals throughout the Recovery Action Plan and the Environmental Sustainability Action Plan, and will design repairs that are considerate of the environment, aesthetics and functionality of the community.

••• SECTION H Project Control
A key element of controlling a project is managing the cost. Cost Management is defined as the processes involved in planning, estimating, budgeting, and controlling costs so that the project can be completed within the approved budget. Interwest Consulting Group has a proven delivery system to meet the cost, time, performance and quality goals of a project. We create and apply management systems that work, and carefully monitor program effectiveness by closely tracking critical path activities. We have found that providing realistic schedules and cost estimates is critical to a team’s success. The next step is to adequately convey the scope of work in a way that is easily understood and we have found that continuous, clear communication is the key to this important aspect of any project. A final aspect of proper cost management is employing reasonable yet sufficient contingencies to accommodate for risk and unforeseen cost increases. Quality assurance cannot happen without good communication. Interwest is known for our proactive communication style and commitment to keeping all stakeholders apprised of a project’s status on a regular basis. While methods and timelines of communication may vary from project to project, our commitment to communication does not. Interwest’s internal reviews prior to submittals assure us that the design and documentation is adequate for the desired use. Each component is reviewed by senior staff before being forwarded to the Town for review. Interwest provides independent peer reviews of all work products before submittals; however, we believe that QA starts with the initial team meetings and is only really effective if it encompasses an on-going commitment to quality work. A final measurement of a project’s success is a Post-construction debriefing, when we hear from the Client and Contractor on their overall experience with the Interwest team. The true success of our Quality Control Program can be best measured by our repeat clients, strong industry reputation, and history of minimal change orders. Interwest utilizes Microsoft Project and Excel programs to develop, monitor and update project schedules from inception to completion. Detailed task schedules are critical to keeping the team on task and determining component responsibilities. Interwest will continually update the project schedule and hold team members accountable for meeting their agreed upon timeframes. The objectives we use to measure our success in managing projects are: ••• Meet design submittal deadlines (FIR, ROW Plans, FOR, Bid Documents, for example) - critical path activities completed on time ••• Budget remains intact - after comments are addressed, we verify that construction budget, design budget and design schedule are still valid (issues were identified during coordination of design rather than during review – no surprises) ••• Meet project bidding deadline ••• Achieve tight construction bids among bidders – indicates plan intent was clear ••• No major change orders during construction – indicates plans were complete ••• Construction Schedule remains intact

SECTION J Proposed Scope of Work Interwest has extensive experience working on projects with a federal aid component and our staff is very knowledgeable regarding the protocols and requirements that accompany receiving federal aid. Interwest is on the State of Colorado Department of Transportation list of pre-qualified consultants in Civil Engineering, Highways and Street Design, and Transportation Engineering. Our extensive experience in preparing plans following CDOT format allows our team to focus on the project’s critical design and safety issues rather than the processing requirements. Interwest will provide project management from start to finish of the job. This will include coordination of all team members, the Town, utility companies and other agencies (HUD, FEMA, etc.) as needed. RockSol is available, if requested, to provide construction management and inspection assistance for all project improvements. This work could involve on site observation, daily inspection logs (as needed), quantity tracking, pay application and change order recommendations, submittal processing, and project documentation support to conform to State and Federal requirements. Potential Projects: 2nd Avenue Bridge – The 2nd Avenue Bridge was identified in the Lyons Flood Recovery Plan as being a critical segment of infrastructure that was severely damaged during the flood. Emergency repairs were made to the existing structure to render it safe for use: however, the structure is in need of replacement and FEMA has granted funds to include this project. Loris Associates (Otak) has currently completed approximately 30% design plans and is poised to advance the design to 100% in early 2019 pending approval by FEMA of the design and cost elements. Otak anticipates 2-3 months to complete the design and another 6 months for the construction. Interwest will provide technical document plan reviews for the bridge along with managing the construction procurement and coordination. The design plans and construction cost estimates by Otak will be advanced to 100% complete and a set of bid documents prepared. Interwest will assist the Town in the preparation of the bid documents, provide a review and comparison of all bids and prepare potential addendum items. During construction our team will provide coordination and required documentation to support the CDBG-DR funding. Floodplain Development Permits will be prepared by Otak and reviewed by Interwest and Town staff.
