Our practice spanning the public and private sectors, we are adept at providing engineering services based on
our clients’ needs. We are highly experienced in the preparation of project bid packages and knowledgeable
in the Connecticut Department of Transportation policies, procedures and design standards, as well as
municipality standards. SLR is also very familiar with the permitting requirements and procedures at the local,
state and federal levels. Our understanding and approach, leading to success on our on-call contracts, are
centered on the following principles all of which will be applied to this on call contract:
Streamlined Approach
We recognize that municipal employees are often pulled in many directions, and we believe that as on-call
engineers, we must be prepared to ease, rather than exacerbate, the burden of staff.

priority projects/tasks, as well as long-term goals. Given our
recent work history with the Town, including the Engineering
Department, we understand the Town’s internal operational
structure and are eager to provide our services and support
on an as-needed basis.
Adaptiveness to Community Needs
With the extensive on-call consulting services we have
provided to other municipalities, SLR fully understands
the needs of communities such as yours. Communication
and responsiveness are integral to the success of all projects/services, but especially in small close-knit
communities. It is SLR’s premier objective to engage the public early and often, and solicit their input to
understand what is happening directly in front of their home or business as part of the initial steps of any
project. It is imperative that we include the residents and property owners as we advance projects through
final design in order to make construction as effective and non-intrusive as possible. Our main priority is
to ensure that Town residents and workers are minimally impacted by the services we provide, but also
feel they're properly informed of and involved with improvements and enhancements occurring in their
community.
Responsiveness
Through this contract, the Town may request that the selected consultant
provide a fee proposal for specific projects. Upon receipt of such request, SLR is
prepared to define a project team and begin work within 3 days. Assignments
may also include emergency or urgent work items. In developing a fee proposal,
SLR will define specific tasks and assemble a strategy for meeting the Town's
needs, developing project fees based on the fee schedule included in this
submittal. The fundamental element here is that the Town's operations should
not suffer, but be enhanced through the use of on-call engineering. Therefore,
timely development of a scope and execution of the work tasks is critical.
Responsiveness begins at the first phone call the client places to the primary
contact and will continue until the assignment is complete.
Accessibility
Hand-in-hand with responsiveness is accessibility. To successfully execute the duties required for on-call
engineering services, we believe that the Program Manager, Principal-in-Charge, as well as other technical
SLR@

of each project and pending work efforts to be completed over the next month. In some instances, monthly
communication may not be adequate and more frequent updates will be necessary. At times, it may also be
necessary for the point of contact to assist in communicating project information to neighborhood groups, land
use commissions, residents, or other Town staff. We have the capacity and ability to develop simple written status
reports as well as renderings and graphics that can be used at presentations to assist the public in understanding
the project. We are also prepared to attend meetings and present project elements, as necessary.
Cost Effactive Solutions
In each community where we provide on-call services, similar concerns are echoed regarding financial
constraints. It is important in the role of municipal on-call engineer that creative solutions are sought that can
protect public health and safety while balancing the inevitable financial constraints of the community. SLR will
work with Town staff to evaluate each project as it arises and understand the Town’s needs and objectives.

a number of projects under the Surface Transportation Program (STP) Urban, Local Tra sp
p
Improvement Program (LOTCIP), Local Bridge, Small Town Economic Assistance Program (STEAP), Traffic
Administration (TA) and other state and/or federal programs including numerous projects throughout
the region. Overall, he has extensive experience in project and client management, and managing on-call
contracts with various municipalities. Mr. DeStefano has a tremendous amount of field experience and has
developed a thorough understanding of constructability issues and resolutions. This is critical in terms of
achieving quality control throughout design development.
Given his extensive experience, Mr. DeStefano understands and manages all aspects of such projects, including:
» Survey, mapping and data collection
« Technical design details and the waiver process
« Local, Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), Federal Highway Administration (FHWA),
American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), and other policies and
procedures
* Rights-of-way impacts, easement/property acquisitions, and mapping
° Environmental impacts, related state/local/federal permitting, and mitigation strategies
* Utility relocations and coordination
* Public outreach and stakeholder involvement
* Context-sensitive design features for impact mitigation
° Constructability and temporary traffic control
Design implementation involves a process which can generally be outlined as follows:
* Grant application and/or funding review
* Salection of qualified Project Manager
* Preliminary scope definition
» Assignment of design team
* Scope refinement and professional fees
¢ Project execution
More specifically, the above implementation steps are further explained as follows:

Selection of a qualified Project Manager
With consideration given to the type and nature of a particular assignment, Mr. DeStefano and Mr.
Brown (Principal-in-Charge) will propose a Project Manager. A full resume of experience and reference
will be shared with the Town for approval of the Project Manager prior to proceeding. If desired, a face-
to- face meeting will be arranged. While serving as the point of contact for this contract, Mr. DeStefano
may also be identified as the best Project Manager for a specific project. In any case, determination as to
the Project Manager will be based on specific experience and availability. At times the selection may be
based on previous working experience of an individual. Once identified, the Project Manager will work
with Mr, DeStefano and Mr. Brown to further develop the scope and fees for the work.
Preliminary scope definition
SLR will prepare a draft scope of services based on the early project understanding. The scope shall
be comprehensive and shall serve to cover all the bases with respect to survey, design, rights-of-way,
permitting, utilities, constructability, etc.
Assignment of design team
Once a preliminary scope is defined, personnel will be assigned so that the design team may be fully
developed. A team organization chart will be prepared and shared with the Town, as requested. The
chart will indicate specific roles, responsibilities, and credentials. Once again, if resumes are desired, such
information will be furnished. Identifying the team is an important aspect of project start-up, as there is
great value to be gained by engaging those who will actually be doing the work,
Scope refinement and professional fees
Assignment of the design team is key to refining the scope and developing person-hour projections
and fees for the work. Mr. DeStefano will organize the proposal process similar to managing the actual
project. Each person involved will be responsible for refining the scope in his or her area of expertise. For
example, our Soil Scientist and Biologists will work closely with our environmental engineering staff to
develop the scope of services relating to permitting and mitigation. Similarly, using another example, our
assigned highway design engineer will work closely with the project traffic engineer to ascertain the full
scope of work relating to safe pedestrian mobility for a roadway project. Once all aspects of the scope have
been fully detailed, the team will develop an estimate of personnel hours and time for completion of the
work. From this information, we will be ina position to deliver a fee proposal and schedule to review. By
providing ail of our backup information up front, we are able to expedite the process. Mr. Brown will work
in parallel to this process to manage the task-order development phase concurrently.

 The constructio
c
p
g
* Creativity leads to cost savings
« Context sensitivity in design truly minimizes impacts
* Aesthetics provide for overall enhancement of the finished product
* Impacts are identified early and effectively mitigated
Project execution can be described in more detail as follows:
a. Effective project management
SLR will develop a Project Management Plan (PMP) for the effective organization and management
of every design project. Such plans require our Project Managers to effectively plan for the
successful organization and implementation of every assignment. Quality Management is critical
to the success of every project, so the development of a PMP includes the development of a
Quality Control Plan and Communication Plan for each and every assignment. All such plans are
tailored specific to each project and are designed to be shared with the city. The firm’s Principals
and management team meet regularly to discuss project work load, budgets, technical needs, etc.
so that, working together, we are able to ensure that each and every project is assigned the proper
resources so that schedules can be satisfied and the work is being performed by the proper and
qualified individuals.
b. Thorough assessment of alternatives
The alternatives assessment phase requires we think outside the box, but also that we not
overlook the obvious. Certainly we may find that alternatives were vetted during the grant
application phase, so the need for and extent of effort under this step should be carefully
considered during the scoping phase. When comparing alternatives, it will be important for us to
consider; temporary and long-term right-of- way, visual, environmental, and utility impacts; initial
construction costs and continuing maintenance requirements; public support; and the extent to
which each alternative truly satisfies the original purpose and need for the project. Within each
alternative, SLR will apply its niche expertise in Value Engineering to ask the right questions — and
to question the obvious — in an effort to arrive at the most economical approach.
c Early identification of impacts and mitigation strategies
Preliminary design is really the most important stage in design development. A preliminary
design submission is a quality submission only if it clearly identifies impacts to rights-of-way,
SLRTM

Early vetting of constructability
As designers, we need to ask ourselves the question of “how are we going to build this project?”
It is important to ask this question during the preliminary design phase, as putting the necessary
provisions into place for successful construction oftentimes requires specific items with associated
costs. Such items may affect right-of-way acquisitions, permitting, and utility relocations. We ask
the question early so that we have ample time to obtain necessary rights-of-entry; we have clear
direction as to how to handle traffic during construction; we clearly understand the sequencing
and timing of utility relocations; and we clearly represent temporary conditions (such as
temporary access routes) on environmental permit applications, etc. As we consider the question
of constructability, we also begin to wrap our arms around the true cost of a project as well.
Accurately projecting construction costs
SLR does not rely solely on CTDOT's published unit price data for estimating project costs. We also
rely on experience bidding projects in various Connecticut municipalities, as well as your local
bidding history. We routinely track industry trends in terms of materials and labor price fluctuation,
and fully understand the recent effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on material costs and availability.
Cost estimating is as much an art form as it is a science, We understand how to apply proper
contingencies appropriate to the design level and do not forget to account for inflation out to the
construction year. It is important that as the design evoives and decisions are made, we advise our
clients as to how such changes or decisions affect the project's cost — either up, or down.
Quality management through the design process
In conjunction with effective project management, as described under paragraph a. above, a
Quality Control Plan will be developed for each project or assignment. We will share with the Town
our specific approach to quality management on every assignment. Quality control involves not
only oversight and reviews by senior personnel, but also tedious reviews of calculations, etc. by
technical staff. Essentially nothing leaves our office without a “second set of eyes.” Plan submissions
are not made without internal QA/QC and constructability reviews. Where complex issues are
present on a project, an outside third- party peer review may be necessary, Quality control does
not have to be complicated. While technical excellence is critical, in our experience most problems
during construction can be traced back to some failure to coordinate effectively during the design
phase. We will aim for both technical excellence and careful coordination. Our staff are trained to
document all aspects of our work and we pride ourselves in the level of stakeholder coordination
that contributes to our success on projects.
SLR@

process, we will ensure consistency between all projectf
loopholes for contractors to take advantage of alternative interpretations.
Timetable
The schedule for each project or assignment will obviously be dependent on the scope and complexity
of a particular project. The designer essentially maintains control over the timetable for actual design
activities, and in a perfect world should be in a position to staff up or apply additional resources on
an as-needed basis to meet schedule expectations. Given SLR’s size, with more than 140 staff in its
Connecticut offices, we are accustomed to organizing our workflow and staff allocations effectively
to ensure schedules are met for concurrent design projects. There are, however, a number of project
elements that can and often do affect the overall schedule for projects, such as:
* Permitting, particularly at the state and federal levels
* Rights-of-way acquisitions
« Seasonal weather conditions
« Design reviews
While we can claim to have little or no control over the above, we can certainly influence relative
timetabies.
For instance, a solid permit application will move quicker than one which is deemed incomplete or
lacks required detail. With regard to permits, it is imperative we get it right the first time. SLR maintains
a favorable working relationship and rapport with state and federal regulatory agency staff and
that does tend to aid in moving permits along. SLR also has the experience to assist with property
owner meetings, appraisals, negotiations and preparation and filing of right-of-way maps, so that
municipalities can take control of the acquisition process at the local level. Finally, we will work with you
to accelerate project schedules when necessary. We can work to structure work scopes to consolidate
tasks, when appropriate, and would offer design presentations with on-board type reviews to expedite
the process.

SELECTED PROJECT EXPERIENCE
« Rehabilitation of the Putnam Bridge over the Connecticut River (Route 3)
Value Engineering Workshop (CTDOT Project No. 53-175) | Glastonbury /
Wethersfield, CT
Team member conducting a value engineering study on the design for the
Rehabilitation of the Putnam Bridge over the CT River (Route 3) in Glastonbury
and Wethersfield, Connecticut. The purpose of the project Is to correct active
leakage that is occurring particularly at the deck joints over the pier locations,
behind copolymers panels along the inside face of the original concrete parapets,
and at the median gutter lines beneath the precast concrete median barrier,
which is causing the superstructure to deteriorate at a rapid pace. The proposed
improvements include new parapets, median barrier, partial deck replacement,
deck joint replacement, fascia stringer replacement, scuppers and drainage
repairs to resolve the leakage issues, replacement and rehabilitation of the
bearings, and structural steel and catwalk repairs. All proposed improvements
are an effort to address the bridge's major deficiencies, restore its load-carrying
capacity, and remove the bridge from the structurally deficient list.
+ Route 2 Resurfacing, Bridge, and Safety Improvements Value Engineering
Workshop (CTDOT Project No. 53-177) | Glastonbury /Martborough, CT
Team member providing expertise in constructability, maintenance and
protection of traffic, and cost estimating for this value engineering study that
evaluated the upgrade to the deteriorated pavement and the necessary repairs to
11 bridge decks and parapets as well as other safety improvements, such as guard
rail replacement and/or resetting, headwall repairs, and curbing replacement. The
entire project is approximately 8.3 miles. The value engineering team focused
on three issues: (1) the very restrictive work constraints for rubblization, limiting
work to the hours of 11:30 p.m. and 6:00 a.m,; (2) the general reluctance to discard
a rigid pavement in good condition; and (3) the need to totally strip the bridges of
asphalt and water proofing if the decks are still in good condition.

critical safety upgrades made by installing new recast concrete barrier curb, replacement of existing guiderail, additions and
improvements to existing drainage, new 4-inch bituminous concrete park curb, barrier walls at rock cuts, improvements to
nine bridges, and barrier wall protection. The value engineering team focused on three issues: (1) the high cost of the flexible
temporary barrier, non-flexible temporary barrier, and the real need for those items with the availability of a 10-foot shoulder
as a second lane during off-peak operations; (2) the impact on MPT if the new concrete barrier was placed at the center line of
the median; and (3) the suitability of substituting metal beam guide rail in-lieu-of the concrete barrier curb.

and to make necessary repairs to 23 bridge decks, as well as other safety improvements such as guide rail replacement, catch
basin modifications, and curbing removal. The entire project is approximately 5.2 miles. This project focused on five issues: (1)
the quantity and unit pricing of partial-depth bridge deck patching; (2) the possibility that an overlay of the existing concrete
pavements might be more economical; (3) a concern about closing ramps even for night operations; (4) the economy of
narrowing up the climbing lanes that are to be converted to shoulders vs. repaving them repeatedly in the future; and (5) an
alternate solution to haunch removal.
