Once the agreement has been signed, please return one signed original back to me so I can provide it to Atkins. In a December 14, 2016 work session, the BOCC provided direction to proceed with final design of the Kersey Bridge (BR53/58A). The bridge was damaged during the 2013 flood. CDOT and FHWA have approved approximately $7.54 million in funds which are to be used for the replacement of the bridge. Total construction costs are expected to be approximately $10.51 million. Per the 2013 Flood Reimbursement Contract with CDOT and FHWA, FHWA's reimbursement portion $6.24 million, CDOT's reimbursement portion is approximately $649,000. Weld County's share of the project is approximately $2.97 million. The design engineer, Atkins, has been under contract with Weld County to perform engineering on the County's South Platte River flood repair projects. The Atkins contract was previously extended by the BOCC through 2019. Atkins has been working on this project since repairs were started in 2014 and has completed the 30% design which has been approved by CDOT. In order to complete the final design of the new bridge, Atkins provided an estimate of $770,161.00. The estimate includes all of the costs associated with providing the final design. Right of way and easement acquisitions are included as part of the fee. The design is expected to be completed by the end of November 2017 with the project going to bid in January or February 2018. Construction is anticipated to start in April 2018 and last through April 2019. I will plan on attending the BOCC hearing to answer any questions that the Board may have regarding this agreement.

Coordination with FHWA will include preparation and submittal of backup and supporting documentation as required by FHWA. B. FIR MEETING / KICKOFF MEETING A FIR/kickoff meeting will be held between Atkins, Weld County, FHWA and CDOT Flood Recovery Staff, and additional resource agencies (e.g., US Army Corps of Engineers and US Fish & Wildlife Service), as needed. The purpose of this meeting will be to review comments to the 30% documents, confirm the requirements for environmental clearance, discuss cultural resources, utilities, and right-of-way acquisition to ensure all required documentation is obtained to continue work for final design C. HYDRAULIC DESIGN AND DRAINAGE Atkins will complete the hydraulic design of the proposed facilities, which will include hydrologic analysis, storm drain hydraulics and miscellaneous hydraulic calculations. The work includes proposed sizing for roadside ditches and any pipes and structures. The following presents the work items that will be completed under the drainage and hydraulics work: Atkins will update the Weld County Road 53 Preliminary 30% hydraulic and drainage design based on revisions to the roadway plans and bring it to 90% design level (FOR). Tasks will include: a. Onsite and offsite hydrology calculations. The rational method will used to calculate the onsite roadway hydrology. CHUP will be used to generate the hydrology for the offsite tributary area greater than 50 ac. Hydrology will be developed for the 10 -year and 100 -year events. Due to the project being located in a rural and undeveloped area offsite hydrology will only be generated for the existing land use. b. Update HEC-RAS model for the South Platte River from 30% design. c. Perform scour calculations for South Platte River Bridge. d. Perform hydraulic calculations for sizing of cross culverts using FHWA's HY8. The cross culverts will be sized to convey the 100 -year event. e.

Perform water Quality analysis per MS4 requirements. g. Design of the required permanent BMPs. h. Update Weld County Road 53 preliminary 30% plans and develop 90% plans. This will include, culvert sizes based on updated hydrology and hydraulics, update culvert profiles and update the South Platte River bridge hydraulic engineering plan sheets and include all necessary design details for roadway, bridge, swales, and culverts. i. Provide onsite drainage swale design. j. Development of SWMP plans for initial, interim, and final conditions. Develop an Erosion Control plan for proposed improvements. The Erosion Control Plan will include any permanent water quality features, suggested erosion and sediment control devices for constructing the bridge and may be used by the construction contractor in developing the Storm Water Management Plan (SWMP) Permit. Atkins will update the 90% hydraulic and drainage plans based on revisions and comments during the 90% design level (FOR) meeting, and will develop final construction plans and specifications (PS&E). 2 of 13 Scope of Services WCR 53 Final Design Em-BR53/58A D. CLOMR/LOMR Atkins will prepare hydraulic models for South Platte River and provide the necessary floodplain permitting documents for the roadway encroachment and bridge construction. The following presents the work items that will be completed: Atkins will prepare a Conditional Letter of Map Removal (CLOMR) for improvements to the South Platte River bridge and will submit fees to FEMA for processing. This will include: a. Prepare CLOMR application b. Submit CLOMR application for approval, including fees c. Develop a work map d. Respond to comments Atkins will prepare a final Letter of Map Removal (LOMR) for improvements to the South Platte River bridge and will submit fees to FEMA for processing. This will include: a. Prepare LOMR application b. Provide As -built survey for the LOMR application c. Submit LOMR application for approval, including fees d. Respond to comments E. ENVIRONMENTAL Noise Atkins will prepare a noise analysis report to analyze expected traffic noise impacts following 23 CFR 772, Procedures for Abatement of Highway Traffic Noise and Construction Noise, and the latest CDOT Noise Analysis and Abatement Guidelines. The analysis will use FHWA Traffic Noise Model (TNM) 2.5 to model the roadway and noise sensitive areas, determine noise impacts, and analyze abatement measures. The noise analysis report will contain the following information: • A description of noise sensitive areas which may be affected • Predict existing and design year traffic noise impacts, giving primary consideration to exterior areas where frequent human use occurs • The extent of impact at each sensitive site • Practicality of noise abatement measures when criteria are exceeded Air Quality According to 40 CFR 93.126, the project is exempt from conformity analysis because it is a bridge reconstruction project and no additional travel lanes will be added to the new bridge, Atkins will prepare a memorandum for the project file demonstrating why this project is exempt and does not require an air quality monitoring study. Walcrs al -the U.S. and Section 404/401 Permitting Atkins will conduct a delineation of waters of the U.S. within the project limits of disturbance according to the 1987 USACE Wetland Delineation Manual and Great Plains Regional Supplement. Permanent impacts greater than 1/10 of an acre to waters of the U.S. will be documented in a pre -construction notification to the USACE in order to request authorization to complete the project under Nationwide Permit No. 03. Atkins will perform the following tasks: a. Conduct a field determination for the presence of wetlands and other waters of the U.S. b. Delineate boundaries in the field, GPS locate the boundaries, and collect ancillary data including USAGE wetland determination forms c. Prepare mapping that identifies wetland boundaries 3 of 13 Scope of Services WCR 53 Final Design Em-BR53/58A d. Prepare a Wetland Finding Report including a detailed mitigation plan for permanent impacts of 500 square feet or temporary impacts of 1000 square feet or more, including wetlands not regulated by the USACE (one draft report followed by a final report that addresses minor revisions from comments). e. For permanent impacts of 1/10 of an acre or more, a FacWet, functional assessment will also be conducted and results included in the Wetland Finding Report. f. Determine project impacts and complete Section 404/Section 401 permitting for jurisdictional waters of the U.S. Any mitigation needed, will be at a 1:1 ratio g. Consult with the USACE to complete permitting h. Incorporate permit stipulations into the final design. Archeologv/Palcon tology/l listory Atkins will evaluate the project area for impacts to archeological, paleontological, and historical resources. Only four historic resources are known to be located in the planned corridor (consisting of the approach road and bridge): a. The existing WCR 53 bridge. A review of the online cultural resource database COMPASS indicates that WCR 53 was recommended as Not Eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The Colorado State Historic Preservation Officer will likely require that a reevaluation be performed. b. A small structure likely related to agriculture. It does not appear that this structure has been previously recorded or evaluated. c. The Plumb Ditch (5WL.5217). The segment of the ditch that crosses the project area does not appear to have been recorded or evaluated. Other sections of the ditch have been recommended as Needs Data, which indicates that the potential for NRHP eligibility exists. No other resources were identified in the immediate project corridor in the COMPASS database, but there are other cultural resource sites adjacent to this corridor. Based on preliminary consultations with the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), it appears that a pedestrian survey would be required. With regard to paleontological resources, a prior survey performed by Atkins North America, Inc., in the area of the project indicates that bedrock of the Laramie formation (a well-known dinosaur -bearing formation) is approximately 200 feet to 500 feet in depth and negates the possibility of locating important paleontological finds. CDOT's environmental staff will confirm that no further evaluation for paleontological resources is required during the scoping meeting. Fossil locality requests will be made at the Denver Museum of Science and Nature and the University of Colorado, Boulder. For archaeological and historical clearance Atkins would also perform a Class III cultural resource survey for the project site. The Class III survey will consist of the following: a. Pedestrian surveys in the location of the current bridge and the proposed future location of the bridge and the new route of the road (just upstream of the existing bridge). b. Re -visitation of 5WL.53 within the proposed right of way or APE. No subsurface testing to define the eastern boundary of the site is proposed unless SHPO requests it. c. A re-evaluation of the current WCR 53 bridge to confirm the recommendation of Not Eligible for the NRHP. d. Recordation and evaluation of the agricultural structures and the segment of the Plumb Ditch in the project area. e. Evaluation of the WCR 53 roadway as a historic resource f. Tribal consultation letters will be prepared on behalf of FHWA/CDOT. No tribal coordination is assumed. g. Preparation of a report that includes the initial site assessment and recommendations. h. Coordination with SHPO and CDOT. 4 of 13 Scope of Services WCR 53 Final Design Em-BR53/58A Archaeological and historical clearance will require two steps. The first is the identification of significant sites, and assessing the project's effects to them. If sites would be adversely affected, the second step is to provide mitigation. The Class III inventory and consultation will complete the first step. Section 4(1)/Section 6(f) The project area also will be evaluated for any non -historic Section 4(f) and 6(f) resources. We anticipate no Section 4(f) uses will be determined. The evaluation will include the following: a. Review desktop data for any Section 4(f) and Section 6(1) resources potentially located within or near the project. b. Prepare applications for any Section 4(1) clearance and Section 6(f) concurrence and coordinate with agencies. c. Document results of findings in a report (mentioned above). d. Prepare a mitigation report for any Section 4(f)/Section 6(f) resources. e. Coordination with FHWA. Ecological Assessment / Threatened and Endangered Species Atkins will perform an ecological assessment to evaluate the project area for potential habitat to support federal - listed species, to identify vegetation communities and wildlife, and to document any raptor and other migratory bird nests or use areas. Atkins will conduct informal Section 7 consultation with the USFWS. A consultation letter directed to the USFWS will be prepared documenting findings and making effects determinations based on project location, design, observed habitat, and spatial desktop data. Atkins will perform the following tasks: a. Request an official USFWS species list from the Information Planning and Conservation system. b. Review spatial desktop data for federal -listed species occurrences and critical habitat. c. Conduct an onsite evaluation of vegetation communities and federal -listed species habitat and potential for occurrence. d. Complete a noxious weed survey and weed management plan (as needed). e. Document wildlife, raptor nests, and other migratory bird nests and use areas that could potentially be affected by the project. This can include removal of trees, work on bridges or other structures, clearing and grubbing of vegetation, etc. f. Prepare a Biological Resources Report documenting ecological assessment findings (one draft report followed by a final report that addresses minor revisions from comments). g. Prepare an informal Section 7 Consultation Letter to the USFWS h. Complete USFWS consultation and incorporate results into the PCN for USACE permitting. i. Prepare a mitigation table for federal -listed species, wildlife, and vegetation including CPW Recommended Buffers Zones and Seasonal Restrictions for Colorado Raptors Senate Bill 40 Wildlife Certification Atkins will consult with the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) regarding project impacts to streams or surrounding riparian/wetland areas to obtain Senate Bill 40 (SB40) Wildlife Certification. On -site data utilized for SB40 certification will be obtained during the ecological assessment described above. Atkins will perform the following tasks: a. Consult with CPW and assess SB40 requirement resulting from the project design b. Prepare an SB40 application c. Integrate SB40 CPW comments/mitigation measures into project design and construction. Hazardous Materials Atkins will evaluate the project area for the presence of hazardous materials and prepare an Initial Site Assessment (ISA). The ISA will document the findings of both a desktop review and field evaluation using CDOT Form 881, 5 of 13 Scope of Services WCR 53 Final Design Em-BR53/58A and will provide guidance on whether any additional assessments, monitoring, or remediation actions are needed. Atkins will submit one draft ISA followed by a final ISA that addresses minor revisions from comments. An environmental records review will be obtained from Environmental Data Resources (EDR) to locate records of possible hazardous material sites, which may use any or all of the following data sources: a. Lists compiled by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) that identify: i. Hazardous waste generators ii. Hazardous water treatment/storage/disposal facilities (current or closed) iii. Hazardous waste transporters iv. Locations of underground storage tanks v. Known or suspected or abandoned hazardous waste sites b. Records kept by EPA or CDPHE on violations or citations. c. Lists kept by the appropriate fire department on: i. Underground storage tank locations ii. HAZMAT incidents/accidents d. Local emergency planning/hazardous materials use reporting e. Available historic tax records that indicate past land use (coordinate with property ownership and land use data research) f. Available historic aerial photos of the corridor g. Any pertinent CDOT records NEPA Com fiance Atkins will prepare a Categorical Exclusion (CE) for the project using CDOT's Categorical Exclusion Determination Form 128. Resources will be analyzed as described above, and in accordance with the CDOT NEPA Manual and FHWA Technical Advisory 6640.8A. Atkins will submit one draft CE followed by a final CE that addresses minor revisions from comments. F. GEOTECHNICAL A preliminary geotechnical study was developed during 30% design and the structure selection process. For the final geotechnical design recommendations additional subsurface explorations will be necessary, this is to develop recommendations and parameters for foundation design of the proposed bridge and walls. The data from the previous preliminary geotechnical study will be incorporated into this scope of work. As part of the final design services, the geotechnical scope of work will include an additional subsurface exploration program, bridge foundation recommendation, global stability analyses of proposed embankments and retaining walls (if required), and pavement design for the realigned segment of WCR 53. The subsurface exploration program will include geotechnical borings at each of the proposed bridge bent and abutments as well as pavement borings on each approach to the bridge. A total of six borings will be completed along the proposed bridge (one located at each abutment and four located along the interior bents of the bridge). Where possible, borings will be located within the river channel where right -of -entry is available and if low-water conditions within the South Platte River channel allow for access. If not, borings for the interior bents will be drilled through the existing bridge deck and will be offset approximately 50 feet from the proposed bridge. Borings will be completed with a track -mounted drill rig to a maximum depth of about 100 feet using mud rotary drilling techniques. Four additional borings are planned for pavement design considerations at the proposed embankment tie-in locations to the existing WCR 53 roadway embankment. These borings will be advanced to a maximum depth of about five feet. A geologist or geotechnical engineer from our staff will log the borings and collect samples for classification and laboratory testing. 6of13 Scope of Services WCR 53 Final Design Em-BR53/58A Data generated during the subsurface exploration and laboratory testing programs will be analyzed by a geotechnical engineer and summarized in a geotechnical design report. The geotechnical design report will provide a summary of the engineering analysis, recommendations, and conclusions and will be signed and sealed by a professional engineer registered in the state of Colorado. The work will also include the following: a. Coordinate drilling and traffic control subcontractors for drilling borings. b. Obtain necessary permits for the field exploration program. c. Stake the boring locations and contact the Utility Notification Center of Colorado (UNCC) and other necessary utilities for a utility locate meet to mark underground utilities prior to drilling. Boring locations may require adjustment due to buried utilities. d. Procure subcontracted repair services for boring locations that require drilling through the existing bridge deck. e. Laboratory testing shall include natural water content, grain size distribution, Atterberg limits, swell, R - value, and corrosion testing. f. Prepare a draft and final geotechnical report summarizing the field exploration program, groundwater observations, and geotechnical analyses and recommendations. g. Prepare a Geology Sheet for the Project plan -set summarizing boring locations and laboratory test results. G. ROADWAY DESIGN The Roadway Design task will include the complete redesign of the project to a design speed of 60 MPH. This consists of adjusting the alignment/superelevation to match the proposed corridor and increasing the vertical curves to meet the 60 MPH stopping distance. The roadway model will also be adjusted to account for wider 6 foot shoulders (1 ft paved and 5 ft gravel). All access roads and drainage structures will also be remodeled to meet the revised design and a single proposed surface will be created. Additional items will also be added to bring the content up to a biddable set of plans including Fences & Gates, Signing and Striping, SWMP, Erosion Control plans and Cross Sections. Drainage ditch and structure information will be finalized including box culvert and wing wall designs. Quantity tabulations, Summary of Approximate Quantities and Construction Estimates will be updated with the new design information and additional pay items will be completed for each deliverable. Construction documents will be completed from the "FOR" comments and review meeting. Quality Checks and Quality Assurance will be completed throughout the entire process. H. UTILITIES Detailed utility locating will include contacting the known providers and having the facilities field verified. This information will be included in the project topographic file for the project. Coordination with impacted utility and irrigation ditch companies will be accomplished. Utility designs and plans will be completed with agreed upon solutions from the utility coordination meetings. Potholing will occur for all existing utilities following location and based on anticipated conflicts. A total of 16 potholes is anticipated. I. STRUCTURAL DESIGN Atkins will revise the bridge plans in accordance with comments received from the stakeholders during the FIR meeting. Atkins structures staff will coordinate with roadway to incorporate changes that may have affected the roadway alignment and profile. All major structures will be designed with the latest AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. The new bridge will be designed for HL -93 vehicular loading. Bridge rails will be CDOT Type 10M, which meet the criteria for TL -4 loading. Scope of tasks for structural design includes, but are not limited to: 90% Structural Plan Set (FOR) 7 of 13 Scope of Services WCR 53 Final Design Em-BR53/58A a.

The County needs a qualified and available team that will augment its important flood recovery efforts. Atkins' Colorado staff has the availability and broad experience to successfully manage projects through all phases (survey, inspection, design, final plans, bids, and construction). We also have extensive national and local experience with disaster/flood recovery projects and compliance requirements to qualify for federal assistance and maximize federal and state reimbursement. With local staff, friends, and families who have been affected by the flooding, the Atkins team genuinely wants to help. We offer you emergency recovery and disaster relief experience, as demonstrated by the successful opening of the finished SH 72 (Coal Creek Canyon) roadway where we supplied design and construction assistance to the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Region 1. Our team also assisted the City of Longmont in assessing structures after the storm event and supported Boulder County by doing site surveys and permitting, all to aid flood recovery efforts and provide controlled access to properties and neighborhoods within a very short time frame. While we have been involved in many Colorado flood recovery efforts, we still have ample capacity to mobilize for your flood recovery projects. Atkins is a full -service engineering consultancy with 15 years of Colorado non -project specific (NPS)/on-call contract experience with clients including Weld County, City of Fort Collins, City of Greeley, City and County of Denver, City of Longmont, COOT, and FHWA. Our Denver office provides transportation planning and design, traffic engineering, structural engineering, water resources, and construction management services. Our local and national presence allows Atkins to meet aggressive and time -constrained schedules while fucusiiiy um adhering to budgets and quality. Our team's strengths include the following: • We are experienced with FHWA, FEMA, and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) requirements. Atkins has been working with FHWA for years —currently on the SH 72 flood recovery effort —so we are quite familiar with FEMA and NRCS requirements. This knowledge will enable the County to make decisions to maximize the reimbursement received for each project. Our emergency management task lead, Wayne Floyd, has played a key role in our Colorado flood recovery work and brings more than 25 years of hands-on experience in emergency management planning, disaster recovery, and environmental health hazards associated with natural disasters. • We understand and address project challenges from the start.

Overall firm capabilities Atkins is one of the world's leading engineering and design consultancies. With 2,700 employees in 70 offices nationwide, Atkins supports a mix of public- and private - sector clients. Perhaps the most significant indicator of Atkins' success is our 90 percent volume of repeat business, which reflects our clients' satisfaction. We have the breadth and depth of expertise to respond to the most technically challenging and most time -critical infrastructure projects. 2.1 System procedures for scheduling and costing projects Effective project controls are the backbone of project success. Atkins has developed proven controls that will help us maintain project schedules, costs, and quality. 2.1.1 Cost control Realistic budgets must be established at the start of any project. Our project manager and deputy project manager — Josh Hollon and Andrew Holton, respectively —will develop and monitor budgets. Accurate quantities and cost 0403 121.3: Atkins I Proposal for Weld County Engineering_ Services Related to the 2013 Flood Recovery Table 2. Project budgeting and cost estimating Project Engineers estimate/ low bid SH 72 Reconstruction Harmony Road Bridge Replacement Colfax and 14th Avenue Streetscape Hess Road Signals Harmony/Lemay and Drake/Lemay Intersection Improvements South Circle Drive Safe Routes to School $520,000/ $460,000 $2,000,000/ $1,499,648 $3,235,432/ $2,228,023 $479,659/ $468,661 $530,003/ $457,274 $186,099/ ....._ $160,808 estimates are crucial to project success, since errors and omissions can cause project delays and additional costs. We have learned through the flood work we have performed thus far that construction estimates have been high due to several factors —lack of staff and equipment and their location in relation to the project sites. Atkins will use that information to assist the County in developing construction estimates. Our project manager, Josh Holton, and deputy project manager, Andrew Holton, working with our task leads, will carefully develop and monitor the construction estimates and update the County of any significant changes prior to advertisement. Atkins uses Oracle E -Business Suite as our internal project accounting system. Detailed project information can be obtained on a weekly basis to ensure compliance with project budgets and schedules. For each invoice, Atkins will prepare and include monthly progress reports detailing the work completed, anticipated work, and any potential issues. Atkins' engineer estimates have consistently been slightly above the contractor low bid. Table 2 highlights some examples of our past performance in delivery of plan packages that met the programmed amounts. 2.1.2 Schedule control Meeting the schedule is also essential to project success. Josh and Andrew and our task leads will identify key milestones and critical path items at the start of any project, and will develop a schedule for all deliverables in coordination with you. We use Microsoft Project to develop and track schedules. Key elements to maintain schedules include: • Factoring in adequate time for Atkins quality control reviews and County reviews. • Setting critical path interrriediate milestones such as weather conditions, spring runoff, and the ability to evaluate/inspect project sites in winter conditions. • Developing a recurring internal Atkins team progress meeting date and time to communicate expectations. • Following up on meeting action items. . 2.2 QA plan and procedure Our proven five -step approach to QA/QC, as demonstrated in the following QA/QC procedure graphic, has one single focus —to consistently provide you quality deliverables. We follow our QA/QC process on all deliverables and submittals, whether it is a complete set of design plans and specifications or a single paragraph technical memorandum. Jerry Waterman will ensure that our QA/QC process takes place by assigning a QC reviewer with appropriate expertise to each task/project. 18 183 3. Performance on similar projects This section illustrates our team's experience and qualifications in completing flood recovery, bridge and structure design, road design, surveying and mapping, CAD/plan preparation, and construction management and construction observation and inspection services. Specific to flood recovery efforts, Atkins has extensive and exclusive capabilities in post -flood mapping activities. For example, CWCB has flown LiDAR for many of the flood - affected rivers and communities throughout Weld County, as shown in the image below. Using this information, Atkins' automated floodplain mapping systems can quickly Weld County post -flood LiDAR 0403.12,13, Atkins I Proposal for Weld County Engineering Services Related to the 2013 FIood Recovery l 8 and efficiently identify changes in flooding risks caused by channel migrations during the September floods. This automated mapping can provide quick identification of new.flo.od risks, support future design efforts, and provide additional floodplain management tools- Atkins' relationship with CWCB, combined with our automated floodplain mapping systems, will provide Weld County with post -flood risk assessment very quickly and with minimal cost to the County. Atkins has the right mix of local staff to respond to any flood recovery project. Since many of our relevant projects have overlapping services, we have included Table 3 below and project highlights on the following pages to illustrate the types of qualifications and experience evidenced by each project. Additionally, Figure 1 highlights Atkins' experience with Weld County roadway.and floodplain delineation projects and our understanding of the critical issues involved in flood recovery efforts. Table 3. Selected similar experience Project Owner Rapid Floodplain Delineator RFD has been used to provide rapid Zone A delineation throughout the country by using available topography to generate approximate floodplain delineations. Locally, Atkins used RFD to delineate 800 miles of floodplain for Douglas County in approximately 1 month, less than half the time that this process would take using traditional mapping methods. RFD uses available stream gages, regional regression equations, and LiDAR information to prepare a simplified —but FEMA-approved--hydrologic analysis. RFD also automates the hydraulic analysis by cutting cross sections from the LiDAR surface and preparing a HEC-RAS hydraulic model. These automated processes will quickly and accurately calculate water surface elevations throughout the study area. With RFD, Atkins can create efficient floodplain delineation that provides the most stream miles for the allotted budget as well as provides Risk MAP -quality delineations.

Atkins immediately mobilized, reviewing and walking the project site, working with CDOT to prepare bid documents, showing the site to contractors, explaining the bidding process, and modifying final bid documents, all within 48 hours. As CDOT and the Atkins project manager were preparing and accepting bids from contractors, Atkins designers continued to survey the project site, meet with utility companies, and prepare a preliminary plan of action with typical sections, working continuously through the days, evenings, and weekend. Less than 1 week after Atkins' assistance was requested, the contractor started work to repair the damaged roadway and opened controlled access for those living in the construction corridor. Atkins worked side by side with CDOT and the contractor, preparing additional documents as needed. This project was funded by FHWA and FEMA emergency funds, which required that project documentation be kept separate and independent. Atkins ensured that the documentation was updated daily and estimates were paid every 2 weeks, as requested by the contractor. During the federal review process, FEMA confirmed that the documentation met or exceeded FEMA requirements. Since the flooding caused major environmental damage, Atkins implemented proper controls and corrective actions to protect the environment and mitigate damage. Because our team was proactive in planning and executing these potential issues during the repair work, construction remained on a fast -track schedule. Items such as debris removal, redirecting the stream with dikes, and other appropriate measures were performed with the stream/ road restoration and as the riprap was being placed. The riprap-faced slopes help prevent erosion into the stream, and the corridor is being seeded and mulched to provide further erosion control. Several key stakeholders were involved in this project including CDOT, Atkins, the contractor, utilities, and local residents. Excel Gas was a major stakeholder since its gas line had to be rebuilt within the roadway template for the entire corridor, which required close coordination. A team atmosphere was established early on with all stakeholders, creating a synergy for efficiently completing a successful project within a very short time frame. The team developed many creative ideas by working together closely, resulting in quicker construction and a quality final product that will stand up to future flooding, The finished roadway was opened to all traffic in just under 2 months.

The City needed a consultant to perform assessments in order to decide which routes could safely be reopened to residents. Atkins had coincidentally performed a site visit as part of a reconstruction project the Friday before the flooding for the two bridges over the St. Vrain River, which received extensive flood damage. These bridges are undersized for a large flood event, as was made evident. Working quickly to respond to the emergency, the Atkins team performed visual cursory structure assessments on 16 river and creek crossings (bridges and box culverts), eight pedestrian crossings, and the adjacent -trails and roadways, all within a 36 -hour period. As the water was still high, these assessments were based on what could actually be seen. With Atkins' feedback, the City•of Longmont was able to open. multiple routes from north to south that had previously been dosed. During the next few days, Atkins also wrote brief memos to help the City determine funding options and document the impacts of the floods for FEMA. Based on a follow-up site visit, Atkins recommended, and the City of Longmont approved, another more detailed structural and scour assessment of the Main Street bridge. The team was able to view more of the bridge's components, induding its spread footings, once the water had receded. Atkins recorded the depth of the scour caused by the flooding and made recommendations for temporary erosion protection, since the bridge is scheduled to be replaced later in 2014. Countermeasures were recommended in case of another flood event or heavy spring runoff. A sanitary sewer that ran underneath the bridge was also damaged, and Atkins is working on both the temporary and permanent repair with City of Longmont staff.

Work location/familiarity 4.1 Production facilities and work location Atkins' Denver office provides a depth of resources available to assist you in this important recovery work. The services you are requesting are all within our areas of expertise, andwe have the staff to efficiently and cost-effectively deliver this project. Atkins has local team members and can easily meet with. Weld County staff on short notice. Our Denver office is located •at: 4601 DTC Boulevard, Suite 700 Denver, Colorado 80237 303.221.7275 5. Project understanding and approach Atkins has been tracking Key areas of concern flood.damage throughout Colorado since the devastating storm event in September. We understand that the County has started and completed substantial work on many projects but needs additional help to complete important recovery - efforts, as some projects are only temporary and may have issues resulting from the spring thaw runoff. The County does an excellent job keeping citizens and the public informed on the status of flood recovery information through its http://flood2013.weldgov.com site. This information has provided our team a more detailed grasp on the challenges currently faced by Weld County. Atkins understands that the scope of services will differ for each South Platte/St. Vrain River project, including elements such as preparing bid documents in accordance with FEMA, FHWA, and Natural Resources Conservation Service (ARCS) requirements; managing construction; preparing plans; and/or providing specific areas of expertise such as traffic engineering, surveying, hydrologic/hydraulic studies, or pavement design. The Atkins team has the experience and capacity to address any level of scope needed. Flood recovery efforts require a mix of skill, speed, and manpower —Atkins offers you all three. Our team has the relevant experience needed, including recent flood recovery work for CDOT Regions 1 and 4, Boulder County, and the City of Longmont. With our large Colorado staff and additional subconsultant team members, we have the resources to work quickly and to complete your projects within or ahead of schedule —as we did for the SH 72 Coal Creek Canyon Flood Recovery Design and Construction Management project. • Spring runoff/thaw • Feasibility of inspection (channel, rip rap, scour) Atkins has project management processes and best practices in place to effectively complete your project tasks. We will work closely with the County to address your needs through effective management and organization, a demonstrated task order delivery process, and a sound coordination/communication approach and process. Our team has the necessary experience and qualifications in completing flood recovery; bridge and structure design; road design; surveying and mapping; CAD/plan preparation; and construction inspection services. Atkins' Denver office is within an hour's drive of Weld County, and we have several team members in the area at any given time, offering responsive service for these time -sensitive recovery efforts. Each task or project assigned to our teary► will be managed within our proven project controls structure, which includes stringent cost and schedule controls. Atkins also follows a stringent QA/QC process for each and every project, whether large or small. Atkins understands the urgent situation you are in —while repair efforts have commenced, citizens are still displaced, many roads and bridges are still damaged, there are not enough resources, and the clock keeps ticking. As Coloradans with friends and family affected by these destructive floods, we want to be your teammate in quickly and skillfully completing recovery project efforts. 5.1 Approach to flood recovery projects The key to the Atkins team delivering County projects of various levels of completion within a tight time schedule involves partnering with the County project manager to fully understand the status of each project as well as having the expertise and capacity readily available to skillfully meet critical deadlines. Atkins has recent local flood recovery experience doing exactly that on the SH 72 Coal Creek Canyon Emergency Design and Construction Management project for COOT Region 1. We also have team members supporting Boulder County on more than a dozen environmental and permitting efforts, performing bridge assessments for the City of Longmont, and supporting USACE in surveying and mapping high water marks on the Big Thompson and Little Thompson rivers, along with multiple others rivers and creeks. Our team's work on SH 72 enabled CDOT to open the corridor 1 month ahead of schedule. By opening SH 72 early, our team members are available to work on other projects. Atkins prides itself on client service and unparalleled responsiveness. One of the advantages resulting from the size of our local office and nationwide firm is that resource allocation is a standard practice. If a project's deadline is moved up or another immediate need becomes apparent, our firm has the ability to pull from additional resources —all while keeping your point of contact and local team intact. For example, we recently used our emergency management team led by Wayne Floyd on the SH 72 flood recovery. His group traveled to the project and helped train the inspector and contractor field crews on how to Atkins I Proposal for Weld County Engineering Services Re#ated to the 2013 Flood Recovery l : 15 document the project so emergency funds from FEMA and FHWA could be received. During the federal review process, it was confirmed that the documentation met what was required by these agencies the first time. Wayne's group has performed emergency management services for disasters including Hurricanes Sandy, Irene, Gustav, Fran,. Ike, Bonnie, Dennis, and Floyd, along with major tornadoes, snowstorms, and other flood -related storm events. An approach to flood recovery projects is slightly different than an approach to a normal NPS-type contract. Since your projects are in various levels of completion, we will demonstrate our approach. from project initiation. As would be the casein -any project, we will complete an on -site investigation and assessment to understand the road and structure conditions:Atkins will involve our emergency. management staff as early as possible -they will be on site to ascertain.that FHWA, FEMA, and NRCS guidelines and criteria are met and documentation is completed properly so funding is not jeopardized. We will work closely with the County during this investigation and assessment. After completing the site assessments, plans will be developed or assessments will be verified so our team can confirm the basis for the plans on which we work. Throughout this process, we always consider the environment, which rrtust be investigated and protected. The requirements of the Colorado Discharge Permit System— Stormwater Construction Permit (CDPS-SCP) still apply and will need to be met. Also, 401/404 permits are applicable and will likely be needed. We will work together to • determine the best combination of erosion control methods including seeding, revegetation, and landscape restoration. 5.2 Approach to project management Atkins' project management approach for flood recovery projects centers on partnering with the County and working closely with your project manager to successfully FEMA reimbursement FEMA has two types of work eligible for reimbursement through a Public Assistance grant —emergency work and permanent work. Each is divided into categories. Weld County is concerned with two of these categories, specifically: • Category B: Emergency protective measures, which involve actions taken to save lives, protect public health and safety, and prevent damage to improved property. • Category C; Roads and bridges, which is considered permanent work and involves permanent repair or replacement of roads and bridges. Members of our team are familiar with these criteria, having performed flood recovery work for Jefferson County on SH 72 and the City of Longmont on structure assessments. Atkins' subconsultants include: • Pinyon Environmental, Inc. (DBE) -- environmental clearances/permits • Shannon & Wilson, Inc. — geotechnical services and pavement design • Woolpert, Inc. — surveying deliver each project, regardless of the level of completeness. With our focus on client service, we are dedicated to listening to you and putting your needs first. To be successful, the people involved with each project —on both the consultant side and the County side —need a common understanding. of the project, agreed -upon objectives, effective metrics that track these objectives, and milestones that can be effectively planned and monitored. Our team will decide upon a communication approach and use tools for sharing accurate information in a timely manner. Our project management approach has four key elements: • Effective management and organization Proven NPS/on-call design philosophy • Demonstrated task order delivery process Coordination/communication approach and process 5.2.1 Management and organization Qur.management and organizational approach focuses on our team structure, which sets the stage for seamless delivery. Our extensive experience on similar NPS-type contracts for Weld County, -the City of Fort Collins, City of Greeley, City and County of Denver, CDOT, and FHWA is reflected in our experienced leadership including Dan Liddle (principal -in -charge) and Josh Hofion (project manager). Our team also includes a core group of experienced task leads and a comprehensive technical support team, as shown in our organizational chart on page 4. Our task leads were selected based on their experience delivering NPS-type contracts in their expertise area. As our principal -in -charge, Dan has the authority to sign and authorize contracts. Josh, as project manager, is empowered to make staffing assignments and will be responsible for contract administration duties. Based on the County's project request, Josh will determine the most appropriate task lead for delivery while remaining your point of contact His technical expertise and knowledge will allow him to provide additional guidance to technical staff to meet your needs. Our task leads are senior staff with .extensive experience managing large multidisciplinary teams as well as smaller individualtasks as part of a larger team. 5.2.2 NPS/on-call design philosophy Atkins has established our presence in Colorado by delivering important projects through NPS/on-call contracts, which can resemble flood recovery work in schedule and time to complete. We have an extensive history of successfully delivering these contracts and are proud of our track record as the prime consultant for on -call services contracts since Atkins l Proposal for Weld County Engineering Services Related to the 2013 Flood Recovery l 96.E • Together, we will assess the following elements for the channel and structure(s): . • Data collected including existing bridge plans and inspection reports • Condition of the existing structure ny evaluating the damage and stability • Whether to, restore the channel to its original state or leave in its current new alignment • Geotechnical conditions • Scour conditions • How to reinforce the channel or determine whether reinforcement is adequate for the new conditions • Floodplain modeling (using HEC-RAS) Beyond the structure, we will assess: • The roadway and its erosion control. • Surveying and mapping using Gl5 to determine the new floodplain. • Financing options whether from FEMA, NRCS, FHWA, and/or state grants. 1998. This work has been delivered consistently and reliably as a result of our commitment to quality services. We understand the unique nature of on -call and NPS contracts and have built.our staff to ensure we have a comprehensive talent pool to respond with rapid, cost- effective service. We focus on two elements to make sure your projects run smoothly and that all stakeholders are involved`a streamlined delivery process and excellent • project coordination. With these two priorities in mind,. we have successfully completed or are completing more than 300 task orders to date. 5.2.3 Coordination/commubication approach and process ' Continuous and effective coordination is a key element to ensuring delivery of a flood recovery contract, and is especially critical in the flood recovery plan. development and completion. This will eliminate rework, help advance schedules, and save money. These, processes are centered on a structured communication system that eliminates scheduling conflicts and resource shortfalls. Our coordination -process involves a proven communication and meeting structure so that all key decision makers are present when required and have the appropriate 'information to make decisions —minimizing impacts to the schedule. An underlying philosophy is that it is our job to be proactive with respect. to communication. For example, while emails are used primarily for distributinginformation, true communication and coordination must be verbal — including one-on-one meetings, telephone Calls, and/or team meetings: Project progress meetings will be used as required or requested. The initial project meeting will be used to verify the scope of work, schedule, budget, and expectations. From previous experience, this meeting is a critical step to unify efforts to accomplish multiple objectives through a single project. Project meetings will be held at scheduled intervals to discuss the project progress and to facilitate coordination on the specific project tasks. Public involvement and citizen organizations. The nature of the County's flood recovery projects with the community requires a communications approach centered on anticipation, proactive updates, and strategies to fully inform the public. Those impacted must feel that our team understands their issues and needs. The County is already doing a good job in updating the public frequently through the Flooding 2013 website. Atkins is ready to assist in these efforts as needed.

Atkins I Proposal for Weld County EXHIBIT B Request for Proposals Engineering Services related to the September 2013 Flood Recovery I. Purpose The Weld County Public Works Department is requesting proposals for Engineering Services related to the September 2013 Flood Recovery. The requested services may include all or portions of the following: Topographic and ROW Surveying, Roadway or Bridge Repair Design Drawings, Structural Inspection, Hydrology and Hydraulic Analysis, Environmental Clearances, Preparation of Contract Bid Documents, and Construction Inspection. The projects will include 4 separate "Project. Areas", defined by the various river corridors as shown on the attached maps. Each Project Area will include several "Sites" along each of the river corridors. There may be as many as 30 overall sites, each of which will require various engineering services as described above in order to restore the sites to pre -flood conditions and specify mitigation efforts that may prevent future flood damages. Maps of the Project Areas and an inventory of the original damage and emergency repairs to the Sites will be provided to the selected consultants. The Department intends to select one consultant for each Project Area to perform the needed work. NOTE: A site visit will be conducted to a single "Sample Site" which will represent the various improvements that may be required at the other sites. The consultant proposals should explain the various work items recommended for the Sample Site and include a breakout of consultant tasks and hours for the Sample Site. These may or may not apply to the other Sites in the Project Areas. II. Scope of Services Weld County is working with FEMA and FHWA specialists to verify damages to County assets that were damaged during recent flooding. Weld County is in need of professional engineering services which will generally consist of overall plan preparation related to flood repairs, specification preparation, and construction management services. Engineering services will comply with County, State, and Federal regulations. Time is of the essence as Weld County anticipates that high water during spring runoff could cause additional damage to project sites. The Public Works Department is looking for ways to shorten the design process and develop an abbreviated set of construction drawings. General engineering services will include: • Design Surveying (Could include temporary easement descriptions) • Hydrology & Hydraulic analysis required to document repair and mitigation efforts • Flood plain record research to validate flow rates that may be used • Preliminary roadway or bridge design, cost estimates, evaluations, plans, reports and coordination with staff and others • Final design, abbreviated plan set preparation, specifications and design details per CDOT Standards • Geotechnical & Drainage investigation/reports (if needed) • Potholing and utilities coordination & relocation • Environmental assessment study • Construction engineering and inspection services for Federal funded construction projects as directed 1 NOTE: It is anticipated that the consultants will utilize as much existing floodplain mapping/data as is applicable, so that the time and costs required for any hydrology & hydraulic analysis, etc. will be minimized. A. General Project Description The initial emergency repairs necessary prior to opening the roads to traffic has been completed at all the sites. Engineering Services are now needed to reassess the sites to determine final improvements needed to return the sites to a stable permanent condition and indicate if mitigation efforts may prevent future flood damage. The anticipated repairs may include: Riprap armoring of bridge abutments, Wing wall/Railing/Deck Repairs, Placement of turf reinforcing mats, Temporary and Permanent Erosion Control, Seeding, Sod and asphalt patching/paving and striping as required. Although it is unlikely that construction at all the sites can be accomplished before the spring run-off begins (end of May), the goal will be to prioritize the sites and have bid documents ready to bid as soon as possible for the high priority sites. Weld County anticipates that an abbreviated set of plans for many sites will need to be bid ready by the end of February 2014. This may include small yet concise sets of plans and specifications. B. Project Requirements • Structures inspections and design engineering to repair flood damage to structures and roadways impacted by the September 2013 Flood • Report to the Public Works Department on repair needs within each specified project area • Completion of preliminary estimate of construction, engineering and permitting costs • Topographic and ROW Surveying necessary to complete the scope of services • Engineering design for repair and/or replacement of County road and bridge facilities designed in accordance with Weld County, CDOT and FEMA & FHWA standards and clearances • The consultants may be required to meet a DBE participation goal on the design work associated with the FHWA sites • Bid documents as directed for advertisement of improvements in a manner that meets the reimbursement requirements of either FEMA or FHWA • Environmental, historical, land use, and ROW clearances as required • The consultant will be required to provide construction administration and project management including submittal review, documentation, and continuous full time field inspection for the project per CDOT inspection guidelines. Any required materials testing not provided by the construction contractor will be arranged by the County. • The consultant may also be required to produce "as constructed" drawings at the completion of the project. Final drawings shall also be submitted on CD in PDF format. All material submitted at the completion of the project shall become property of Weld County. C.

(Pinyon), and Woolpert, Inc., is fully capable of providing the services you need and is eager to continue our successful working relationship with Weld County. Atkins has performed engineering services for Weld County previously and has no issues with providing additional services under Weld County's Standard Contract Agreement. Following the pre -proposal meeting and site visit to WCR 53 (Sample Site), we have added San Engineering to our team. San Engineering will expand our local structural and roadway design staff and also provide additional opportunities to meet or exceed the 10 percent disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) goal for FHWA bridge locations. Weld County staff should be commended on the condition of the "sample site" (WCR 53 over the South Platte River) following the emergency repairs. Josh Holton and Andrew Holton, Atkins' project manager and deputy project manager, respectively, reviewed the site and compared the existing conditions to photos taken by Atkins staff immediately following the flood and were impressed with the flow of traffic and condition of the paving. The emergency repairs have restored normal traffic operation; however, additional measures are required to stabilize the sites for upcoming spring runoff events as well as future flooding events. With multiple sites in each project area and a limited construction window, Atkins has developed a plan to expedite design and plan preparation for each site. Our multidisciplined approach includes collaboration among our team's structures, roadway, drainage, geotechnical, and environmental professionals, with oversight and review by emergency management and construction staff. Our team will: • Maximize federal reimbursements for final stabilization and mitigation. • Expedite preparation of construction documents to extend the available construction schedule. • Leverage our vast knowledge of Weld County to efficiently design site improvements. Atkins commits to being available, accessible, and responsive. Our approach underscores our adherence to strong project controls to effectively manage the project(s) scope, schedule, budget, and quality.

Perf:_ nF !nce on similar projectsThis section illustrates our team's experience and qualifications in completing flood recovery, bridge and structure design, road design, surveying and mapping, CAD/plan preparation, and construction management and construction observation and inspection services. Specific to flood recovery efforts, Atkins has extensive and exclusive capabilities in post -flood mapping activities. For example, the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) has flown LiDAR for many of the flood -affected rivers and communities throughout Weld County, as shown in the image below. Using this information, Atkins' automated floodplain mapping systems can quickly and efficiently identify changes in flooding risks caused by channel migrations during the September floods. This automated mapping can provide quick identification of new flood risks, support future design efforts, and provide additional floodplain management tools. Atkins' relationship with CWCB, combined with our automated floodplain mapping systems, will provide Weld County with post -flood risk assessment very quickly and with minimal cost to the County. 2013 Colorado Floods — SH 72 Coal Creek Canyon Emergency Project Design and Construction Management Project highlights • Emergency response (flood recovery) • Fast -track schedule • Road design (hydraulic design) • Construction management Client contact CDOT Region 1 Chris Paiz T: 303.9161051 F: 303.757.9866 Ron Buck T:: 303.512.5456` F: 303 757 9866 Value $520,000 (fee), Status Ongoing In the wake of the September 2013 Colorado floods, Atkins was notified by CDOT Region 1 of an 18 -mile emergency project onSH72from SH93toSH 119, with a 5 -mile portion of the road severely damaged and impassable. Atkins immediately mobilized, reviewing and walking the project site, working with CDOT to prepare bid documents, showing the site to contractors, explaining the bidding process, and modifying final bid documents, all within 48 hours. As CDOT and the Atkins project manager were preparing and accepting bids from contractors, Atkins designers continued to survey the project site, meet with utility companies, and prepare a preliminary plan of action with typical sections, working continuously through the days, evenings, and weekend. Less than 1 week after Atkins' assistance was requested, the contractor started work to repair the damaged roadway and opened controlled access for those living in the construction corridor. Atkins worked side by side with CDOT and the contractor, preparing additional documents as needed. This project was funded by FHWA and FEMA emergency funds, which required that project documentation be kept separate and independent. Atkins ensured that the documentation was updated daily and estimates were paid every 2 weeks, as requested by the contractor. During the federal review process, FEMA confirmed that the documentation met or exceeded FEMA requirements. Since the flooding caused major environmental damage, Atkins implemented proper controls and corrective actions to protect the environment and mitigate damage. Because our team was proactive in planning and executing these potential issues during the repair work, construction remained on a fast -track schedule. Items such as debris removal, redirecting the stream with dikes, and other appropriate measures were performed with the stream/road restoration and as the riprap was being placed. The riprap- faced slopes help prevent erosion into the stream, and the corridor is being seeded and mulched to provide further erosion control. 0403;37831.1213 Atkins l Proposal for Weld County Engineering Services Related to the 2013 Flood Recovery .I 7 Several key stakeholders were involved in this project including CDOT, Atkins, the contractor, utilities, and local residents. Excel Gas was a major stakeholder since its gas line had to be rebuilt within the roadway template for the entire corridor, which required close coordination. A team atmosphere was established early on with all stakeholders, creating a synergy for efficiently completing a successful project within a very short time frame. The team developed many creative ideas by working together closely, resulting in quicker construction and a quality final product that will stand up to future flooding. The finished roadway was opened to all traffic in just under 2 months. 2013 Colorado Floods — Longmont Structure Assessrr ien Ls Project highlights • Emergency response (flood recovery) • Fast -track schedule • Structure. assessment Client contact City of Longmont Tom Street T: 303.651.8694 F: 303.651.8590 Value $17,900 (fee) Status Completed November 2013 St. Vrain River, which received These bridges are undersized f made evident. In September 2013, following the severe flooding in Colorado, the City of Longmont contacted Atkins to request help with structure assessments within flood -damaged areas. The City needed a consultant to perform assessments in order to decide which routes could safely be reopened to residents. Atkins had coincidentally performed a site visit as part of a reconstruction project the Friday before the flooding for the two bridges over the extensive flood damage. or a large flood event, as was Working quickly to respond to the emergency, the Atkins team performed visual cursory structure assessments on 16 river and creek crossings (bridges and box culverts), eight pedestrian crossings, and the adjacent trails and roadways, all within a 36 -hour period. As the water was still high, these assessments were based on what could actually be seen. With Atkins' feedback, the City of Longmont was able to open multiple routes from north to south that had previously been closed. During the next few days, Atkins also wrote brief memos to help the City determine funding options and document the impacts of the floods for FEMA. Based on a follow-up site visit, Atkins recommended, and the City of Longmont approved, another more detailed structural and scour assessment of the Main Street bridge. The team was able to view more of the bridge's components, including its spread footings, once the water had receded. Atkins recorded the depth of the scour caused oy the flooding and made recommendations for temporary erosion pro₹ection, since the bridge is scheduled to be replaced later in 2014. Countermeasures were recommended in case of another flood event or heavy spring runoff. A sanitary sewer that ran underneath the bridge was also damaged, and Atkins is working on both the temporary and permanent repair with City of Longmont staff.

Project underrstanth for samlpkt„ site Project delivery organization Plan Delivery D -sign Program Management Josh Hollon, PE, CFM an approach Pldn Production Andrew Holton, PE Atkins has structured our team to maximize staff resources through a synchronized approach that enables us to provide efficiencies that will reduce costs and meet expedited schedules. This will be achieved through collaboration among specialized disciplines and coordination of plan production and constructability review, all while taking into consideration the requirements that must be met for reimbursement. Key areas of concern • Spring runoff/thaw • Feasibility of inspection (channel, riprap, scour) Atkins' project manager, Josh Holton, and deputy project manager, Andrew Holton, attended the pre -proposal meeting and visited the sample site (WCR 53 over the South Platte River) to view the condition of the emergency repairs and to identify typical work items that may be recommended for this project at other sites. Atkins' staff also had the opportunity to review this site immediately after the flooding, and Weld County staff should be commended on the quick repair of this heavily travelled roadway. The roadway section and travelway appeared to be in very good condition and traffic was flowing freely during our site visit. The emergency repairs refilled and paved the eroded roadway approaches and the failed southern abutment, which allowed WCR 53 to open to traffic. However, further stabilization is required to ensure long-term stability and protection of WCR WCR 53, looking south WCR 53 looking north from toward the South Platte River WCR 388 53, and refined grading is required to restore the roadway and embankments to stable and safe conditions. In addition to our understanding of conditions at the sample site and at other sites throughout Weld County that were affected by the recent floods, Atkins has a thorough understanding of Weld County's needs and requirements based on our current work on WCR 49. For example, we alrParly knn v that 111/PIrl rni inty i iicac Ai itnrAI ri',ril 3r1 for its design work, and we have set up files that incorporate your standards. Furthermore, Atkins is up-to-date on current FHWA and AASHTO standards and will incorporate all relevant federal, state, and local standards into our design, as appropriate. This knowledge means that there is no learning curve for the Atkins team, and we can hit the ground running to evaluate and design improvements to flood -affected roadways. Atkins has provided an overall project approach to successfully deliver construction documents for multiple sites by the end of February. We have also prepared a site -specific approach to identify the design disciplines that may be needed for typical sites and the work items they may require. This approach demonstrates how our team will perform interdiscipline design elements to provide an efficient and economical design for final improvements and help ensure federal (and other) reimbursement. FEMA reimbursement FEMA has two types of work eligible for reimbursement through a Public Assistance grant —emergency work and permanent work. Each is divided into categories. Weld County is concerned with two of these categories, specifically • Category B: Emergency protective measures, which involve actions taken to save lives, protect public health and safety, and prevent damage to improved property. • Category C: Roads and bridges, which is considered permanent work and involves permanent repair or replacement of roads and bridges. Members of our team are familiar with these criteria, having performed flood recovery work for Jefferson County on SH 72 and the City of Longmont on structure assessments. 0403.37831.1213 Atkins I Proposal for Weld County Engineering Services Related to the 2013 Flood Recovery 19 ?: Critical issues Issue ROW impacts Potential need for easements or additional ROW Solution Identify ROW constraints early and coordinate preliminary design impacts with ROW/easement development. Identify schedule limitations and provide temporary improvements without ROW impacts to protect against spring runoff. Access for inspection Water levels and traffic could hinder inspections Our team has performed post -flood assessments and inspections in high water and has established procedures to complete assessments in difficult conditions. Additionally, Atkins' staff includes experienced traffic engineers who can provide assistance with development of traffic control plans to safely provide our team access to the travel lanes while minimizing traffic disruption. Construction schedule Construction for critical infrastructure complete before spring runoff Atkins has developed a preliminary project schedule to provide abbreviated plan sets and construction documents by the end of February. Our experience with providing similar plan sets and the associated construction inspection for SH 72 helps ensure that our construction documents provide sufficient information for the contractor to quickly construct the project improvements. Permitting Environmental permitting clearance could delay construction Atkins' collaborative design process includes review and oversight by Pinyon Environmental. As designs are developed, design staff will coordinate with Pinyon staff to identify potential impacts. Pinyon will determine schedule impacts as design is developed and, if impacts cannot be avoided and special permitting (other than CE) is needed, provide temporary improvements without environmental impacts to protect against spring runoff. Federal reimbursement Federal procedures and requirements can create complexities in project controls Atkins provides federal disaster response throughout the county and had several staff members in Weld County immediately following the September flood event. They are familiar with Weld County and highly experienced with the federal reimbursement process. These individuals have provided similar federal reimbursement support to Jefferson County for SH 72. 5.1 Site assessment and design file preparation Development of the design to return WCR 53 to stable, permanent conditions will begin with a detailed site investigation by the key discipline leads. Roadway, geotechnical, structures and hydraulic engineers will visit the site and review the existing, post -flood repaired condition. During this assessment, the team will also observe existing conditions that my warrant future mitigation measures to include with the design. While the multidiscipline assessment team is assessing the site, other members of Atkins' design team will compile design reference files, including but not limited to the following: • ROW • Existing roadway design • Bridge as-builts and prior inspection reports Atkins structure staff will review possible deficiencies in the emergency repairs to help ensure long-term stability of each structure. Expected work items: visual inspection of bridge and culverts, identification of structural deficiencies, design of remediation measures 0403.37831.12 3 Atkins I Proposal for Weld County Engineering Services Related to the 2013 Flood Recovery112 • Existing hydraulic models • Preliminary wetland mapping • Post -flood LiDAR Preparation of these files will give the design team working files to immediately start development of preliminary design for final stabilization and possible risk mitigation. 5.2 Critical path identification Upon completion of the site assessment and compilation of avaiiab[e reference materials, Atkins will identify the critical path items that could delay delivery of construction documents by the end of February. We will also identify possible permitting and ROW delays that could impact construction of proposed improvements before the spring runoff events. Following the team's identification of the critical path, Josh Holton will coordinate with Weld County Public Works staff to discuss our schedule for developing design and delivery of the construction documents. 5.3 Interdiscipline design Atkins will review the emergency roadway repairs and identify additional grading, paving and safety improvements to provide a stable permanent condition. Expected work items: grading plans, paving plans, safety improvements Following identification of the critical path items and establishment of the overall design and delivery schedule, each discipline lead will direct his or her staff to proceed with development of preliminary designs. Josh Holton will oversee each discipline design to track design progress and help ensure interdiscipline coordination. With the condensed schedule, we expect the preliminary designs to take no more than 1 week. Although our preliminary designs will include collaboration with other team members, the core design team will convene for an interdiscipline design review meeting to discuss the interaction of each discipline, permitting for potential impacts, finding efficiencies to reduce project cost, ROW and adjacent property impacts, federal project reimbursement requirements, and other constraints that must be addressed. Design will progress with input gathered at the meeting to finalize discipline specific designs. 5.4 Geotechnical inspection While many of the repaired areas may currently appear stable, there is a risk the observed embankment stability may be temporary due to the nature of the emergency repairs as well as uncertainty with groundwater levels, which likely Geotechnical staff from Shannon & Wilson will review geotechnical and pavement improvements, especially in areas such as WCR 53 that have extreme truck traffic. Expected work items: pavement assessment, slope stability, review of existing roadway embankment compaction will increase again during the spring runoff. To mitigate this risk, the Atkins team will conduct brief interviews with those involved in the process and, using the information gathered, will provide an opinion about the long-term slope stability and subgrade conditions for new pavements. We anticipate developing a geotechnical site matrix to identify locations that may have the highest risk for poor performance and may require intervention before spring runoff. These sites will be prioritized for mitigation before lower -risk sites. 5.5 Plan production As each discipline finalizes its designs, Andrew Holton, deputy project manager, will prepare the preliminary construction documents including plan sets, specifications, Rsf3220R 0psCO IMNIdU OCcningl �s- 4801 4515 4�� dq 9.0 4595 LT [Ill II - 9.0 4625, 4QSx .15 4525 4.0 I'iUi11J1L 4505 _ 1032 2200 .N1 1,5,12,23g Bream Iwal Pia Opening. ,p>o K2 '2 _ ACM 2200 savo, {n1 Shp Lim, Atkins will use existing hydraulic studies, such as the USACE HEC-RAS model of South Platte River, to expedite hydraulic analysis of the existing structure and proposed mitigation measures.

Atkins I Proposal for Weld County Engineering Services Related to the 2013 Flood Recovery 113 The Atkins team includes Woolpert and our in-house staff located in Denver to support identification of and coordination with ROW issues. Expected work items: identification of existing ROW, identification and coordination for possible temporary easements and quantities. These preliminary plan sets will be reviewed so that the design elements are conveyed and quantities are accurately tracked, and future construction contractors will be able to implement the design in a timely manner. Andrew will also coordinate a final constructability review by Atkins' construction management staff to further facilitate Weld County's compressed schedule. Andrew will also leverage the experiences gained during Atkins' SH 72 post -flood repairs to prepare the "abbreviated" plan set for WCR 53. Finally, Andrew will coordinate with Wayne Floyd and other Atkins federal disaster response experts to help ensure that the contract documents and bid items maximize the federal reimbursement. 5.6 Bidding assistance Along with delivery of the construction documents, Atkins can support County staff with the multiple projects to be bid. If additional bid items must be included in certain packages to separate additional emergency repairs from future flood damage mitigation, Atkins federal disaster response experts can provide guidance. 5.7 Construction inspection Atkins will fully support the implementation and construction of our design. We offer construction inspectors and construction managers who can provide full-time services to help ensure timely construction, documentation for federal reimbursement, and coordination between design staff and construction crews to minimize delays. Our construction management staff fully understands the limited construction window for these repairs/improvements and will work with design staff, County staff, and the contractor to expedite construction activities. The Atkins team includes environmental staff from Pinyon. Pinyon's participation will help our team meet or exceed DBE goals for FWHA sites. Expected work items: identification of impacts, assessment of proposed design, environmental permitting, and revegetation plans Atkins' construction management staff will provide full support during construction of the proposed improvements. Expected work items: constructability review of design, construction inspection, documentation for federal reimbursement Atkins will review damage to utilities located in the roadway section and coordinate avoidance, relocation, and or removal to accommodate our design. Expected work items: utility coordination 0403.37831.1213 Atkins Proposal for Weld County Engineering -Services Related to the 2013 Flood Recovery. Sample site estimate of hours The information below is an estimate of hours to provide the requested service for the sample site (WCR 53 at South Platte).
