This project will be managed and largely completed by the Portland office staff. The team's local transportation and traffic engineers recently completed a large submission and will have ample time to dedicate to the Town of Falmouth. We are engineers who plan and we are planners who design. We are sensitive to the context in which we work and listen to what stakeholders have to say. RFP - Route 1 South Infrastructure Plan, Falmouth, Maine PAGE 1 B. PROJECT TEAM The Louis Berger team is a high-energy, cohesive, and experienced group. They are ready to dedicate their full attention to the Town of Falmouth for the duration of this accelerated project schedule. Matthew Hill has worked with senior staff, including Mr. Joe Lowry, to complete similar projects such as Forest Avenue, Portland; Route 125/136 in Freeport and currently Route 1 in Ogunquit. Louis Berger's clients have shown strong support for Mr. Hill and appreciate his prompt, thoughtful responses to their concerns. The Louis Berger team consists of a wide range of professionals to address all the project challenges presented in the RFP. Resumes of all professionals shown (including education and experience) are included in Appendix A. The Maine design team is currently completing a large submission for MaineDOT involving the Route 1 Ogunquit project and will be fully available to focus on this project from August to November under Mr. Hill's leadership. Another benefit of the Louis Berger team is Mr. Hill's experience as a resident engineer, making his guidance during the bid construction phase particularly valuable. RFP - Route 1 South Infrastructure Plan, Falmouth, Maine PAGE 2 C. STATEMENT OF PROJECT UNDERSTANDING Louis Berger acknowledges receipt of addendum number 1 to the RFP, dated July 22, 2013. a. Transportation Planning and Design The Route 1 corridor in Falmouth must provide for the needs of multiple users along a heavily traveled roadway. The goal of the project is to balance economic development, and a safe, inviting environment through thoughtful transportation design. Louis Berger uses context-sensitive solutions to allow the improvements to fit into unique site conditions. Louis Berger is currently providing design services for the MaineDOT for Route 1 in Ogunquit, which has many of the same issues that have been identified on Route 1 in Falmouth. The design process for the Ogunquit project was initiated with the intent of keeping the work within the existing right-of-way to minimize impacts to the nearby property development while improving accommodations for pedestrians and bicyclists. Requests for design exceptions were filed early in the design process to ensure that the proposed design would be able to proceed. Five different typical cross sections were developed to fit the unique characteristics of the roadway segments. The Route 1 Ogunquit design is similar to the proposed design for Route 1 Falmouth. Louis Berger The design will account for vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists and buses interacting in unison. believes its core Portland-based team led by Matt Hill, PE will give the Town of Falmouth a design advantage of a recent similar experience. The team is nearing a large submission milestone and will be available nearly full time to dedicate their services to Falmouth and complete this project within the proposed schedule. Within the Route 1 Falmouth Project the following seven (7) tasks were put forth in the Route One South Concept Infrastructure Plan. 1. Underground utility lines 2. Improvements to the street 3. Improvements to the sidewalks 4. Improvements to the intersections 5. Improvements to street lighting 6. Improvements to streetscape 7. Storm Water Management. The key to this project's success is to cohesively design all of these elements with careful attention to all users. For instance, the Louis Berger team will work to improve the street for pedestrians, bicyclists, transit, safety, comfort and appeal as well as for vehicles. Similar roadway before Louis Berger improvements Similar roadway after Louis Berger improvements RFP - Route 1 South Infrastructure Plan, Falmouth, Maine PAGE 3 b. Streetscape Considerations Serving as more than simply transportation corridors, roads can function as connective tissue forming a town's inhabitable space, a public node just as a park or square can be. Streetscapes can make up the majority of public space in a community, up to 56% in some urban centers. This makes them a valuable public commodity that acts as the proverbial mortar that bonds a community's history, values, and identity together. A thoughtfully designed streetscape can pave the way to a vibrant and dynamic public realm, one that captivates resident and visitor alike. Great places come from more than just new crosswalks, street trees, and lighting. The Route 1 Falmouth project offers the exciting possibility of bringing to life the improvements planned in the Route One South Concept Infrastructure Plan. Coherent Street planning that is tailored to the unique demands of the community is an important component in creating a more vibrant, livable, and economically vital Falmouth. The Louis Berger team is committed to understanding the complex retail and commercial framework of the area. The Route One South Concept Infrastructure Plan embraces safe, well lit bicycle and pedestrian routes. Great places come from more than just new crosswalks, street trees, and lighting. These are important in the larger picture, but creating a special "place" must be rooted in an understanding of the particular circulation needs of the population. Louis Berger will strive for the completed project to reflect the inherent qualities of the area, such as the vibrant Maine plant growth, the coastal village location, and small and large businesses thriving as neighbors. The overall goal of this design will always keep in mind the Town's vision for this area, which includes: ? A denser pattern of development of the Route 1 area with activities day and night; ? A variety of uses, including but not limited to retail, office, service, entertainment, and residential; ? An emphasis on pedestrians and sidewalks; ? Attractive landscaping that appeals to both businesses and shoppers. Similar roadway before Louis Berger improvements Similar roadway after Louis Berger improvements RFP - Route 1 South Infrastructure Plan, Falmouth, Maine PAGE 4 D. SCOPE OF SERVICES/APPROACH The Louis Berger team is appreciative of the lively business and commercial zone along this portion of Route 1 and will help to move the project area toward becoming an attractive, cohesive, functional and pedestrian-friendly district without losing sight of the economic driver's needs. We will implement "complete street" design and plan safe connections for walking and biking through the area to encourage residents to visit and enjoy the neighborhood. Louis Berger's design work will not lose sight of the core goals to add underground utility lines, practice responsible stormwater management, and improve the streets, sidewalks, intersections, street lighting, and streetscape. The team will ensure that the final design enhances and does not limit recreational access in the neighborhood. The team will coordinate and think ahead to ask: What are the foreseeable impacts? What other ancillary benefits or drawbacks could happen? We value public participation and have extensive experience conducting public meetings, visioning sessions, charrettes, and Context Sensitive Solutions initiatives. The Louis Berger team will supply the Community Development Committee (CDC) with options to ensure that the final design is in line with the vision presented in the Infrastructure Plan. Choices will be presented for: ? Mast arm style; ? Median striping and/or texture; ? Light posts; ? Benches; ? Trash Receptacles. Following is the proposed scope of work. It is anticipated that these objectives will be further refined through input from town staff, citizens, and stakeholders. a. Task 1 Supplementary Survey Titcomb Associates will perform a supplementary survey of existing conditions, as needed, for the preparation of construction documents beyond what is provided in the Northeast Civil Solutions (NCS) Survey and/or other available surveys. Once existing electronic files are received and design begins, the Louis Berger team assumes that two small survey requests will be necessary to finalize design details. Titcomb Associates will also perform a detailed subsurface utility survey, including the collection of sewer and storm drain pipe invert elevations. b. Task 2 Final Design Plans and Specifications The Louis Berger team will develop final plans, specifications and opinion of cost, which will be presented to the Town for review. This submittal will include: ? Title sheet ? Typical sections ? General notes ? Special details ? Baseline data ? Construction plans and profiles ? Drainage and utility plans ? Geometrics and curb layout plans ? Intersection signal layout plans ? Signing and striping plans ? Right of way maps (provided by NCS) ? Landscaping and streetscape plans ? Construction details and notes ? Cross sections ? Construction cost estimate ? Quantity take off sheets ? Special provisions and specifications The submission will include one half-size and one full-size set of hardcopy plans, a disk with the PDF RFP - Route 1 South Infrastructure Plan, Falmouth, Maine PAGE 5 version of the plans, and all electronic, InRoads/ Microstation design files related to the submission set. All review comments received will be resolved and incorporated in the bid documents. This will provide a level of detail that can be used for solicitation of construction bids. Details relating to each discipline involved in the concept plan are outlined in the following sections. Louis Berger believes that this approach follows the intent of the concept infrastructure plan and the RFP. If any items need to be addressed differently or changes, updates, and/or further analysis are desired by the Town, we are willing to negotiate the scope accordingly. i. TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE Plans will make landscape medians a priority with the goal of improving traffic circulation and safety for both pedestrians and vehicles. Traffic volume capacity will not decrease with the proposed improvements. The proposed median locations are: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? North of the Foreside Tavern (raised); Between the Falmouth Shopping Center main driveway and the Key Bank/Starbucks driveway (flush); Between the Falmouth Shopping Center driveway and the main driveway at the Shops at Falmouth (raised and flush); Between Bath Savings Institution and Depot Road (raised & flush); Between McDonald's and the Dry Cleaners (raised and flush); Between Subway/Dunkin Donuts and Clearwater Drive (flush); Between Fundy Road and the Falmouth Inn southerly driveway (raised); Between Allen Sterling & Lothrop Garden Center and Morong (raised and flush); Between Falmouth Physical Therapy and Waldo's (raised); Between Simply Home and Waldo's (raised); Between the Maine Cancer Foundation and A Perfect Smile (raised); South of A Perfect Smile (raised). Medians will be landscaped similar to existing area medians, such as the one shown below, which is partially raised and partially flush. Designing an at-grade intersection between Route 1 and the Maine Turnpike Falmouth spur is not included in this scope of work. Existing median island ii. ACCESS MANAGEMENT Driveways and access management will be addressed through coordination with the Town, MaineDOT, landowners, and the public. Wherever possible, driveways will be adjusted to meet MaineDOT standards. Alternative access, such as connectors between parking lots, will be considered. Some existing property frontages may remain unchanged or be slightly modified. At the Town's request a limited number of areas will be designed with the possibility of becoming on-street parking. This will not limit streetscape designs or signing. The provision of inter-parcel connections has been suggested as one of the access management improvements within the corridor. During this phase of the design, the Louis Berger team will analyze vehicle turning movement needs, site parking needs, and circulation and physical constraints. The goals of the inter-parcel connections are to: RFP - Route 1 South Infrastructure Plan, Falmouth, Maine PAGE 6 ? ? ? Allowing customers to access adjacent properties without accessing Route 1; Allowing businesses/properties to maintain full north/south access on Route 1, where movements may otherwise be limited because of proposed median/curb cut recommendations; Allow vehicles the opportunity to access a safer location to accomplish a turn, for example by providing a connection to a driveway or road that is controlled by a traffic signal. The currently proposed access management recommendations will be reflected in the plan as a starting point for further discussions. ? Construct a vehicle connection between Waldo's and Falmouth Veterinary Hospital. ? Close the northerly driveway to Allen Sterling & Lothrop Garden Center. ? Construct a shared driveway for Allen Sterling & Lothrop Garden Center and the Falmouth Inn. ? Close the driveway at the Falmouth Inn. ? Construct a vehicle connection between Subway/Dunkin Donuts and Bangor Savings Bank. ? Construct a vehicle connection between Subway/Dunkin Donuts and Five County Credit Union. ? Construct a shared driveway for Five County Credit Union and McDonalds. ? Close the southerly driveway to the Wal-Mart Shopping Center. ? Implement turn restrictions at Pratt Abbott Dry Cleaners. ? Construction of a vehicle connection between Bath Savings Institution and the Falmouth Shopping Center. ? Close the right-turn entry driveway at The Shops at Falmouth Village. Additional access management may be proposed by Louis Berger as the design progresses. These changes will not be included in the current proposed budget and scope but can be executed at the hourly rates assigned if desired by the Town. iii. TRAFFIC Intersection improvements include the design of ornamental mast arm supports and equipment upgrades to allow efficient traffic operations. The MaineDOT regional traffic engineer will be consulted to recommend available system resources and technology being used in the area. Existing signal spans Lane striping/markings will be updated with consideration to the medians at each intersection to improve consistency in the area and follow current standards. Crosswalk design will consist of painted "block" design layout. The "block" detail standard consists of 2x8-foot painted rectangles. This consistency is currently missing along this section of Route 1, as can be seen in the pictures below and on the next page. Existing crosswalk RFP - Route 1 South Infrastructure Plan, Falmouth, Maine PAGE 7 iv. PEDESTRIAN/BICYCLIST ROUTES Sidewalk gaps will be filled to create a continuous walking corridor within the study area. Pavement markings will be adjusted to include 11-foot-wide travel lanes and 4-foot shoulders for bicyclists wherever possible. Bicycle lanes will not be provided because of cost restrictions and availability of alternate routes. Existing crosswalk sign with no visible crosswalk markings Existing crosswalk similar to proposed Specific updates at the intersections of Bucknam Road are outlined below and will be completed as part of the final construction documentations. Route 1/Bucknam Road ? The channelization islands will be eliminated and replaced with traditional turn lanes. ? Crosswalks will be provided on all approaches of the intersection. ? A landscaped median will be added to the eastern leg of Bucknam Road. The Louis Berger team will carefully plan a traffic management plan for application during the construction management phase. Within this plan consideration will be given to business access, pedestrian routes, bicycle routes, the metro, and traffic movements. Well planned traffic management during construction can ease many concerns of the public when executed appropriately. The construction documents will include specific requirements for the contractor to always keep in mind the traveling public. Existing sidewalk v. UTILITIES The sanitary sewer will be modified to include a 500-foot extension of the gravity sewer system north of the Route 1/Bucknam Road intersection in anticipation of future build-out of adjacent properties. In addition, the frames and covers of existing sanitary sewer manholes will be adjusted to accommodate roadway improvements. The stormwater collection and conveyance system will be modified to accommodate intersection improvements, median upgrades, and changes in curb line location. These modifications will include replacing or moving catch basin structures, extending existing drainage pipe to connect to the relocated structures, and raising catch basin and drain manhole frames and covers to grade. Efforts will be coordinated with the Stormwater RFP - Route 1 South Infrastructure Plan, Falmouth, Maine PAGE 8 Management Plan for this area and any concurrent public or private stormwater retrofits. Stormwater quality treatment will be provided along the extent of the project, treating a significant portion of the runoff from the hardened surfaces of Route 1. Louis Berger's drainage staff will work closely with Terrence J. DeWare & Associates (TJD&A) to implement modern stormwater treatment designs that mimic Mother Nature and take advantage of impermeable areas wherever possible. The selection of plant material in the surface water quality treatment filters will be done by TJD&A. Stormwater will be treated to MaineDOT standards with attention to aesthetics. Treatment systems may include tree wells, urban stormwater planters, conveyance soil filters, or proprietary box filter systems. Existing catch basin Special consideration will be given to the Bucknam Road region as targeted in the "Gateway Retrofit" document. Surface water quality treatment filters with high flow conveyance underdrain will be proposed at the Bucknam Road locations. Changes to the water lines will be avoided when possible based on exploratory test pits and survey. The Louis Berger team will coordinate with the utility company to accommodate changes to the water delivery system when conflicts are unavoidable. The Town will not take responsibility for the water delivery system. The utility company will be asked to raise valve boxes to grade in order to accommodate roadway improvements. The location of underground power and communication lines will be coordinated with the roadway and intersection designs and specified in the construction documents. Power and communication duct banks and conduit will be located on the east side of the Route 1 right of way. Connections to local businesses will be coordinated. The Louis Berger team will design the locations of utility conduit and duct banks which will be included in the Contractor's work. Utility wires will be pulled by the utility owner. The location of a possible natural gas service line will be identified in the construction documents. If natural gas is not available at the time of construction, a conduit will be installed to accommodate the future line. vi. STREETSCAPE The Louis Berger team intends to create visually pleasing medians, appreciate the natural landscape of the area, and provide low-maintenance plantings. Sidewalks will be designed to attract pedestrians to walk between businesses and engage adjacent developments to create a downtown setting. Many of the streetscape elements are present but incomplete. Sidewalks are available with some gaps and inconsistencies. Crosswalks are occasional but not well striped or signed. Pedestrian level street lighting, benches, bike racks and trash receptacles are not found within the right-of-way. All of these elements can be brought together to make the street a desirable public space. New sidewalks will be installed where ADA standards are not met, where there are system gaps, or where the existing sidewalk is in poor condition. Using pedestrian scale landscaping the existing sidewalk will be enhanced to its fullest extent. Where possible, sidewalks will be strategically installed adjacent to the right of way in anticipation of and promoting minimal lot line frontage. RFP - Route 1 South Infrastructure Plan, Falmouth, Maine PAGE 9 planted 30 feet on center in line with the streetlights. Existing sidewalk Bus stops will be expanded past the current standard of a sign (see picture below). Benches, shelters, trash receptacles, lighting, and signing will all add to the visual appeal and encourage the use of public transit. Existing streetscape Existing bus stop Street trees will also be planted in the center medians, creating a more attractive corridor while still maintaining safe sight lines for vehicular and pedestrian movements and unobstructed views of businesses. Other landscaping will include low- maintenance planting beds and rain gardens that treat stormwater in a decentralized manner. The rain gardens are both functional and attractive. Currently, the corridor is well landscaped. The local businesses and town have made it a goal and have succeeded in making the shoulders of the roadway appealing. Where possible, the mature trees along parcel frontage will remain. Street trees will be Existing streetscape vii. LIGHTING Decorative, pedestrian-scaled LED lighting (12 feet tall) will be installed along the sidewalks in the 10- foot-wide amenity zone esplanade adjacent to the curb line. Lighting will be spaced approximately 90 feet on center. In certain areas, such as intersections, there will be similar pedestrian-scaled lighting, but taller and with an additional light at the top of the pole in order to illuminate a larger area. The taller lighting fixtures will also include arms for banners. Existing Cobra-style light fixtures will be removed. The recently installed lighting on RFP - Route 1 South Infrastructure Plan, Falmouth, Maine PAGE 10 Clearwater Drive will remain. The Town will have the option to phase street light installation but the conduit for the lighting will be installed in anticipation of a full streetscape build out. c. Task 3 Meetings Louis Berger will attend up to five technical meetings with Town staff and the Community Development Committee. Up to three additional meetings are planned to address affected property owners, the public, and Town Council as necessary to review and discuss project design issues, landscaping, lighting, permitting, and general progress updates. The Louis Berger team will record the events of these meetings and prepare minutes with a summary of action items for distribution. Mr. Hill, the Project Manager, will be responsible for leading all meetings. d. Task 4 Permitting and Coordination Initial reconnaissance of the project corridor suggests wetlands under the jurisdiction of Maine DEP pursuant to the Natural Resources Protection Act (NRPA) may exist close to the proposed improvements in two locations along the corridor. Recognizing the importance of permitting to the project schedule, Louis Berger scientists will delineate protected resource area along the corridor within one week of a Notice to Proceed. Wetlands likely exist adjacent to proposed improvements at the southern end of the project associated with the Presumpscot River. Wetlands associated with Mill Creek are also likely present near the Depot Road intersection. Under NRPA Permit by Rule standards, no activity or portion of an activity may be located within the 75-foot setback if there is a practicable alternative location. In addition, a 25-foot setback must be maintained between the normal high water line or upland edge of the protected natural resource and the activity. It is anticipated that the improvements can be designed to meet the Permit by Rule standards. As such, Louis Berger will file a notification form and avoiding the need for an individual permit. A Permit by Rule would also satisfy potential Water Quality Certification requirements. The improvements are also anticipated to trigger the Stormwater Management Law as the sidewalk and other ancillary improvements will disturb more than 1 acre. However, the project is anticipated to qualify for a stormwater Permit by Rule as it will likely involve less than 1 acre of impervious and five acres of developed area outside of an urban impaired stream. For the Stormwater Permit by Rule filing, Louis Berger will prepare a sedimentation and erosion control plan. This approval will also satisfy EPA's NPDES stormwater permitting requirements. The project is not anticipated to trigger review of roads under the Site Location of Development Law. Although the Board of Environmental Protection can exercise jurisdiction in reviewing roadway projects with a total project area in excess of 3 acres, that ceiling would only be reaching by the inclusion of the Route 1 travelway and MaineDOT is exempt from review. Louis Berger's permitting strategy is to submit sufficient detail with all applications to preclude requests for additional information, which can result in substantial delays in the permit schedule. Louis Berger's local presence, longstanding experience in securing federal, state, and local permits, and technical expertise will ensure the delivery of timely and administratively complete applications to appropriate agencies. The goal is the efficient and timely acquisition of regulatory approvals for this project. Louis Berger will track each permit application from submission to issuance by verifying that the permitting agency has received all necessary information, periodically checking the progress of the agency's review, and informing the Town of the status of the permit applications. The Louis Berger team will review and amend any previously approved Traffic Movement Permits (TMP) and Site plans affected by the final design put forth. An initial review of all TMP and site plans within the project limits will be done to flag any possible changes as the design progresses. Once a conflict is identified, the Louis Berger team will RFP - Route 1 South Infrastructure Plan, Falmouth, Maine PAGE 11 work with the Town, the landowner, MaineDOT, and any other stakeholders necessary to properly rectify all permits. The Louis Berger team will coordinate with all utility companies to facilitate the design, including but not limited to: ? Central Maine Power (CMP); ? Summit Natural Gas of Maine; ? Fairpoint Communications; ? Portland Water District; ? Town of Falmouth Wastewater Department; ? Time Warner Cable. e. Task 5 Bid Process The Louis Berger team will be responsible for issuing the invitation to bid documents, once final documents are completed and the estimate of cost is approved by the Town. Louis Berger will publish the public notice/bid advertisement and conduct the mandatory pre-bid meeting. The Louis Berger team will also review the construction bids submitted and assist the Town with bid selection based on cost, experience, schedule and any other factors requested by the Town. f.

The selected consultant is expected to begin work within two weeks of contract signing and complete all tasks in their entirety by November 15, 2013. The Louis Berger Team, if selected, intends to begin work in August. RFP - Route 1 South Infrastructure Plan, Falmouth, Maine PAGE 12 E. PROJECT BUDGET The proposed project budget, itemized in order of the tasks outlined in the scope of services, with hourly rates for project staff, is provided in Appendix C. The firm, all-inclusive, fixed fee for the Louis Berger team is $202,100. The following assumptions were made in preparing the cost estimate. ? The consultant will make field visits as necessary. ? All electronic files used by T. Y. Lin will be available for use. ? Electronic files provided are at the 70% complete stage. ? Bike lanes are not included in the design; shoulder space will be adequate for a more experienced level bicyclist. ? Crash data has been previously analyzed and no High Crash Locations were documented. ? Pavement marking costs are to be included in the cost of the MaineDOT project. ? Traffic counts have been completed at the intersections of Route 1/Depot Road and Route 1/Fundy Road to be used in the traffic analysis. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? The coordination of traffic signals will be a future PACTS project request. Future capacity expansion at Bucknam Road, Depot Road, and Fundy Road will occur under separate future projects. Natural gas will be installed by others. Pedestrian scale lighting will begin at Waldo's and continue to Bucknam Road. Streetscape improvements are included for a portion of the side streets (Bucknam Road, Depot Road, Fundy Road, and Clearwater Drive). Right-of-way maps are considered accurate by Northeast Civil Solutions. If necessary, the Louis Berger team will be responsible for mapping temporary construction easements. NRPA wetland permit and the Stormwater permit will be Permit by Rule. No Site Law, Shoreland Zoning or Army Corps of Engineers permits will be necessary. Permit work will be done in the setbacks only so no mitigation is required. Permit application fees will be paid by the Town of Falmouth.

New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NH DOT), I-93 Widening, Salem to Manchester, New Hampshire. LBG is under contract with the New Hampshire Department of Transportation to manage the design of the 9-mile southern section of the I-93 Reconstruction and Widening project between Salem and Manchester. This southern section of I-93 has experienced heavy growth. Projected total traffic volumes for the design year of 2025 exceed 160,000 vehicles per day and the directional design hour volume exceeds 8,000 vehicles. When completed, the highway will meet the increased demands along the route and significantly reduce the journey times from Boston to southern New Hampshire communities. It is expected that a total of 12 construction contracts totaling nearly $500 million will be required to construct the southern portion of the project. LBG's role includes overall Project Management, highway, structural, drainage and environmental mitigation design services. The southern section includes a total of 15 bridge replacements, three interchanges and more than 30 water quality Best Management Practice (BMP) treatment basins. LBG's highway design responsibilities include the design of the Exit 3 area in Windham which generally includes the reconstruction of the I-93 mainline from the Brookdale Road overpass northerly to the Windham Weigh Station. In this area, the proposed 4-lane I-93 NB barrel will be constructed on new alignment shifted westerly from the existing layout and generally running parallel with the existing I-93 SB barrel. The proposed 4-lane I-93 SB barrel is shifted slightly to the east from the existing layout to allow for the realignment of NH Route 111, construct the southbound ramp pair and to maximize the reuse of the existing SB embankment and select materials. These alignment shifts result in the westerly reconfiguration of the Exit 3 interchange as a diamond with all four ramps reconstructed on new alignments to form signalized intersections with NH Route 111. North of the interchange, the NB and SB alignments closely follow the existing alignments north through the existing weigh stations. The Exit 3 area is the most challenging section of the project as it will require moving more than 2 million cubic yards of materials including the blasting of more than 750,000 cubic yards or ledge. The total cost of this portion of the work is in excess of $150 million. NHDOT requirements to maintain two lanes of traffic in both directions during construction, requirements for balanced earthwork within each contract and limits on the dollar value of construction contracts has created a very challenging and complex construction sequence. Mass haul and cost estimation considerations have been key controls throughout design development.

APPENDIX RFP - Route One South Infrastructure Plan A-20 APPENDIX STATEMENT OF EXPERIENCE EDNEIIHEHXEI 38 FIRM The Louis Berger Group, Inc. COST ?$4,000,000 (Construction) CITY OF NEWPORT, BROADWAY SCREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS Newport, Rhode Island START / END DATE 2009 to 2014 OWNER CONTACT William R. Riccio, Jr., PE Director of Public Services City of Newport 280 Spring Street Newport, RI 02840 (401) 845-5841 The City of Newport Rhode Island selected the Louis Berger to provide preliminary and final design engineering services for roadway, sidewalk, streetscape and traffic calming improvements on Broadway in the City of Newport. This road is the gateway into the City's downtown and historic areas and provides access to the many varied civic and commercial establishments. The project involves the reconstruction of approximately 2,100 linear feet of roadway and associated pedestrian facilities for the purpose of achieving traffic calming while enhancing the roadway streetscape. Low Impact Development (LID) stormwater treatment technologies were incorporated throughout the streetscape area and were praised by RI Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM). Prior to securing the final design contract, LBG, in coordination with sub-consultant Gates, Leighton & Associates, Inc. (GLA) provided the City of Newport with well received proposals during the conceptual phase with many varying elements designed to improve safety for vehicles as well as pedestrians, calm traffic and significantly enhance Broadway's streetscape. This well experienced Team participated in several public presentation and advisory committee "visioning" sessions. LBG's engineering drawings and GLA's graphic communication proposals captured the input from the meetings and displayed a vision for the roadway and streetscape elements for adoption and future design development. Key highlights included safe pedestrian circulation and crossing; extending the destination for visitors and local community; landscaping and site amenities; design and layout of period style lighting; stormwater management improvements; highway realignment and gateway treatment recommendations at key intersections. One of the more interesting comments involved researching back-in angle parking and whether it should be used within this project. After investigating many similar communities that have experimented with back-in angle parking and finding they later reverted back to head-in angle parking, it became clear that this suggestion would not be considered for use on this project. Another item that received lots of attention during the conceptual phase was the proposed bicycle travel line, especially as it operates adjacent to the angle parking. After reviewing several lane configuration options the LBG Team opted to use a single shared use lane for bicycle accommodations as there was limited width available to provide a separate bicycle travel lane. In efforts to reduce the overall design costs and keep the project on track for the 2013 construction season, LBG worked with the City to develop a final design that only required two design submissions, a 90% design document submission followed by the final Plans, Specifications and Estimate Submission (PS&E). The project has completed the 90% design phase and the LBG team is reviewing comments from the various city and state departments as the design moves into the final PS&E phase. The project is on track for final submission in May 2013 and construction is expected to commence in the Fall of 2013.

This 2.3-mile corridor is the primary arterial in the Town and provides vital access to some of Maine's most popular vacation destinations. The traffic volume increases from less than 10,000 vehicles per day (vpd) in the off-season to over 22,000 vpd during the summer tourist season. The existing roadway has a concrete base that had been overlain and widened with bituminous surfaces resulting in limited or no curb reveal to separate the sidewalks from the roadway. Sidewalk extents are also discontinuous throughout the corridor. Lack of curb has compromised the control of storm water runoff leaving it to pond beside the roadway in many locations. The proposed design includes pavement resurfacing, boxed-widening, new curbing, continuous and ADA-compliant sidewalks, modern drainage systems with buff ered outfalls, and a Public involvement process that will serve to revitalize the downtown through input from the community. There is also a significant utility coordination effort performed by LBG as the utility companies have historically avoided the concrete base and placed their underground facilities along the edges of the road which is also the gutter line of the proposed drainage. Both the water and sewer utilities may relocate their facilities concurrently with the project construction. RFP - Route One South Infrastructure Plan APPENDIX B-2 FIRM The Louis Berger Group, Inc.

Summit is committed to promoting and improving bicycling and walking as a viable means of transportation for commutation, utilitarian, and recreational purposes. In achieving this goal, Berger was hired through a contract with the New Jersey Department of Transportation to perform the services listed below, including others not listed. A three-tier public involvement plan was created that included a technical advisory committee, a community technical advisory committee, and public participation workshops. This approach was an integral component in providing the necessary input and guidance to make this a successful project. Additionally, maps and illustrations were created for every element in this plan showing the existing conditions, opportunities and constraints, and proposed recommendations, which complemented the review process and facilitated discussions amongst stakeholders. Safe Routes to Schools: Summit is non-busing school system and most children are either driven, walk or bike to school. Public elementary school administrators have created routes to school, and crossing guards are located at certain intersections to assist children safely across. Berger analyzed and prepared recommendations to improve pedestrian and bicycle access, circulation and safety to the 7 public schools and 3 private schools. An existing conditions inventory was conducted to identify the hazardous conditions around each school and the designated routes to school, including lack or condition of sidewalks, crosswalks, curb ramps and pedestrian signal heads. Pedestrian and Bicycle Surveys were created and distributed to the schools to solicit information regarding walking and cycling conditions throughout the City. As part of the data collection effort, the Project Team collaborated with the ParentTeachers Association to enlist 40 parent volunteers to conduct bicycle and pedestrian counts and classification at critical intersections surrounding the 7 public schools. Conducted observations to identify and evaluate pedestrian and bicycle travel patterns and safety issues. Additionally, two intersections were analyzed for potential location of crossing guards. Existing conditions and opportunity and constraint maps were prepared and the conditions addressed in the report. Recommendations included curb ramps, pedestrian signal heads, sidewalks, crosswalks, regulatory signage, traffic calming, and school zones. Routes to Park & Recreation Facilities: Berger analyzed pedestrian and bicycle access circulation and safety to 10 park and recreation facilities. A physical inventory was conducted within the vicinity of these facilities, which included identifying sidewalk locations, presence of pedestrian and ADA amenities, such as curb ramps, crosswalks and pedestrian signal heads. Existing conditions and opportunity and constraint maps were prepared and the conditions addressed in the report. Recommendations identified the need to establish better access to each of the facilities by constructing sidewalks connecting to adjacent neighborhoods and installing bicycle racks. In the case of the Memorial Field, an internal multi-use trail system was proposed around the perimeter of the park. Sidewalk Inventory: Berger prepared a city-wide sidewalk map that was used in conjunction with the planning, analysis and recommendation. ? Routes to Major Employers ?
