Pasco County, in coordination with FDOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), is conducting a PD&E Study to evaluate capacity improvements to the existing Overpass Road segment and an extension of Overpass Road on a new corridor in the county.

Purpose of the study is to identify and evaluate potential locations, develop conceptual alignments, and identify impacts and mitigation measures for the proposed improvements.

Due to the concurrent request for new access at Overpass Road with I-75, and the fact that the majority of the project occurs on new alignment, the study is being developed as an Environmental Assessment (EA) in accordance with FDOT / FHWA and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).


ACI completed a preliminary corridor analysis that identified all known archaeological sites and historic resources located within all proposed alternatives, and assessed the potential for unrecorded sites and resources.

Following background research, ACI conducted archaeological and historical / architectural field surveys of the area of potential effect (APE) for all alternatives and proposed pond sites; identified and evaluated for National Register of Historic Places eligibility all cultural resources located within the project APE; and prepared draft and final reports.

Use this space to provide any additional information or description of resources (Including any design capabilities) supporting your firm's and team’s qualifications for the County's project.

URS ... the Right People for the Job The U.S. Census Bureau lists Sumter County as the 6th fastest-growing county in the U.S., while the Villages topped the list of fastest-growing metro areas, according to data released in March 2014. URS understands the County’s infrastructure demands and we have extensive experience providing continuing / on-call engineering, surveying, and construction support services to help you meet them. We have the resources to provide responsive service for any and all tasks the County needs.

The URS team adds value to Sumter County through our approach to continuing services contracts. Significant savings and efficiency result from the combination of 1) completing assigned tasks when needed to meet production schedules, and 2) not having staff working on the contract when no need exists. Our management and coordination plan is very responsive to requests for services. We employ both the depth and breadth of experienced staff necessary to complete your requested services within the prescribed time frame and budget. The lynchpin is – the URS team is there when and only when you need us. Our successful execution of similar continuing services contracts, including Sumter County’s current Project Management contract, is a testament to the effectiveness of our management coordination plan.

In our view, it is not enough to continue with a “business as usual” approach to continuing services contracts. Rather, the URS team’s approach to Sumter County’s contract is to continue to evolve as the needs of the County change. As the County continues to grow, our team has and will adapt to these changes. Be they organizational or work requirement changes, we will continue to adjust our personnel, specialties, and schedules as necessary to meet the needs.

The Scope of Services in the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) includes the majority of the planning, production and operations services performed by County staff. This underscores the need for the team selected for this contract to truly be versatile and motivated to act as an extension of the County staff over the multi-year time frame. The URS team will “fill in” for County personnel through on-call services and provide the necessary expertise and manpower to meet peak workload periods, facilitate the coordination of capital improvement program elements, and assist in long-range programming of work efforts. We will continue to meet these requests through a core staff located in Bushnell, and will provide additional engineering and survey support from our Orlando and Tampa offices to meet all County objectives.

Our staff proposed for this project has, by and large, worked together successfully on existing continuing services contracts and is committed to providing excellent technical services. This team, detailed on Forms 1, 2 and 3 of this submittal, is truly comprehensive and offers Sumter County “one-stop shopping” for the services described in your RFQ. We have the resources close at hand in Central Florida to complete every type of project listed in this RFQ.

Unless otherwise directed by the County, we would use subconsultants only for specialty field and / or laboratory work such as geotechnical and materials testing or the cultural resources surveys that would be needed for planning studies. We chose these subconsultants because they are tops in their respective fields, and we have a long history of working with them on transportation projects state-wide. They have consistently demonstrated the ability to do high-quality work on time and within budget. Also, these are DBE firms certified by the State of Florida Office of Supplier Diversity.

H - 1


Our goals throughout the duration of this contract will be to:

Maximize flexiblity to meet the County’s changing needs.

Minimize County staff involvement while following all County policies and procedures, thus allowing your limited and valuable resources to be more effective.

Coordinate and communicate effectively by having our Project Manager and key Task Managers available to the County at a moment’s notice.

Assure the quality of our response by providing Quality Assurance / Quality Control reviews not only of our own work, but also of work efforts provided by others.

About URS ... Founded in 1904 and in Central Florida since 1957, URS specializes in full-scope planning, engineering, surveying, construction management and inspection, environmental, and architectural services. We have long been regarded as one of the leading firms for complete engineering services for surface transportation and infrastructure improvements. In fact, roadway, bridge and drainage projects have been our bread-and-butter work since opening permanent offices in Florida to handle our heavy workload with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). Since that time, we have been under continuous contract with FDOT and many local and regional clients throughout Florida for work of this nature. We maintain a highly qualified staff of engineers, planners, environmental specialists and surveyors to offer complete in-house services for roadway and bridge assignments.

In Central Florida alone, we have 450 talented people whose diverse professional backgrounds enable us to handle these projects in-house.

As an integral part of many projects, we have also provided a wide range of traffic engineering services including design of road, street and highway intersections and interchanges; studies of pedestrian circulation and vehicular access; design and application of traffic control devices; maintenance of traffic (MOT) during construction; and research and development in highway safety, signing, lighting, pavement marking, and signalization. URS’ complete understanding of the physical and operational requirements for roadway, bridge and drainage design and construction has been a key point to our continued success.

Of further relevance is our long-standing successful working with the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD). We have completed many stormwater planning and design projects for clients located within the SWFWMD permitting jurisdiction. These projects have included stormwater master plans, roadway and site drainage, stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPP) and wetland permitting and mitigation. In addition, URS has performed watershed modeling and FEMA DFIRM mapping for SWFWMD under a Watershed Management Program contract. Also, we’ve completed Emergency Action Plans and provided wetland mitigation and restoration services to the SWFWMD Operations and Environmental departments. We are familiar with the SWFWMD permit requirements and have worked closely with their district offices. Several of URS’ current staff members in Central Florida previously worked at SWFWMD in the surface water permitting section.

In providing on-call services to our clients, we have demonstrated our ability to manage projects with professionalism and an optimistic attitude, and to handle multiple projects simultaneously without sacrificing quality. By choosing URS for this contract, the County will receive quality personnel, quality service, and quality results. Our goal is to work in partnership with you and to complete each assignment to your satisfaction – on schedule and within budget.

H - 2


URS Understands Continuing / On-call Services Contracts The large majority URS’ of work is performed under general / as-needed services contracts, so we are completely accustomed to handling both routine and complex assignments on short notice. We are very sensitive to the fact that “as-needed” means just that – when you call, you need us right away. At URS, when you call, we will respond immediately. No project is too small to receive our exacting, personalized service. And no project is too large or diverse for us to complete it in a high-quality, on-time manner.

Tierra routinely works as a subconsultant to URS on as-needed services contracts for governmental clients. The firm has worked with URS on more than 105 projects in Florida, including the Veteran’s Expressway project with Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise. Currently they are working with URS on the Central Polk Parkway project in Polk County and on the on-call services to Pinellas County.

Archaeological Consultants, Inc. Archaeological Consultants, Inc. (ACI) was established in 1976 by founding principal, Marion Almy, who was joined by Joan Deming in 1978. Together they created Florida’s oldest full-service cultural resources management firm. Corporate offices are located in Sarasota with satellite offices in the Tampa Bay, Tallahassee, and St. Augustine areas.

ACI is certified by the State of Florida as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), is designated as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) by Florida DOT, and is certified as a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) with the South Florida Water Management District, as well as many other Florida counties and municipalities. ACI’s senior staff is comprised of Registered Professional Archaeologists (RPA), historians, and architectural historians with graduate degrees who meet the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards.

Surface Transportation Experience

The identification and evaluation of archaeological sites and historic resources (buildings, structures, bridges, cemeteries, linear resources, historic districts) for transportation projects is an ACI specialty. Typically working as a subconsultant to a prime engineering firm, ACI provides cultural resource management services for a variety of transportation project types, including roadway widenings, intersection improvements, bridge replacements, stormwater management facility and floodplain compensation site (ponds) siting, and right-of-way transfers. In addition to all districts of Florida DOT and Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise, these services have been performed on behalf of numerous county governments. Many of these projects are conducted as task work orders under district-wide general services contracts.

Examples of work performed on behalf of County governments include: Orange (Continuing Engineering Services), Osceola (Narcoossee Road), Marion (SW 38th Street), Polk (Kathleen Road; Bartow Northern Connector); Pasco (Zephyrhills Bypass, Ridge Road Extension, Clinton Avenue Extension); Hillsborough (Intersection Improvements Continuing Services); and Pinellas (Continuing Services contract with County Public Works Department), among others.

Transportation projects completed in Sumter County include the CR 468 / Florida Turnpike Interchange; the I-75 / CR 466 Interchange; SR 35 (US 301) from SR 91 / Florida’s Turnpike to the Sumter / Marion County Line and from the Sumter / Marion County Line to US 27 / US 441; Florida Turnpike widening from SR 50 to I-75 (MP 273 to MP 309 / Orange, Lake, and Sumter counties); the South Lake Trail Phases III and IV (Sumter and Lake counties); and the I-75 PD&E Study from north of SR 52 to south of CR 476B (Sumter, Hernando, and Pasco counties).

In addition, ACI has completed dozens of cultural resource assessment surveys in Sumter County on behalf of The Villages. As a result, the firm's staff is very familiar with the archaeological and historical resources throughout Sumter County.

Over the past 20 years, ACI has teamed with URS on a number of transportation projects throughout Florida. Among these are the Tara Boulevard extension and bridge over the Braden River in Manatee County; the Fort Hamer Bridge EIS in Manatee County; Overpass Road in Pasco County; Curley Road in Pasco County; Cross Creek Boulevard PD&E Study in Hillsborough County; I-75 stormwater management facilities and floodplain compensation sites in Pasco County; Capital Circle proposed pond sites in Leon County; the North Ridge Trail PD&E Study in Polk County; the Veterans Expressway (SR 589) PD&E Study in Hillsborough County; the SR 436 and Red Bug Lake Road PD&E Study in Seminole County; and the Central Polk Parkway in Polk County.

Project Approach URS has provided a wide variety of services under continuing services contracts to county, municipal and state government clients. We bring the experience, processes and staff to support:

Operations, such as stormwater permit reviews, traffic operations / ITS, pushbutton and CEI assistance, structures and facilities, landscaping, public involvement, base maps / RCI / statistics, and construction scheduling.

Planning, such as surveys, modeling, preliminary engineering, and PD&E studies.

Production, such as utilities, right-of-way estimating, field surveys / mapping, design assistance, project management support, long-range estimates, cost estimates, PD&E production and management, value engineering studies, historic / archaeological studies, permitting, structures design, and GIS.

Administration, such as RFP development, scope development, LAP coordination and management, etc.

Project Activities In the absence of a specific project to discuss, we have prepared the following paragraph discussions for a typical sequence of activities that encompass the entire planning, preliminary design, final design, and construction management process for a “normal” surface transportation and / or drainage improvement.

Transportation Planning

Transportation planning encompasses a broad range of activities from data collection, research and analysis, to project development and environment (PD&E) studies. Below is a general description of our understanding of many of these elements and our ability to provide quality service to Sumter County.

Volume Counts typically represent the initial step in preparing planning level assessments within specific corridors. URS has 30 portable traffic recorders for conducting tube counts plus 10 electronic intersection count boards for turning movement counts at key locations. All pertinent software to automatically download the count information and summarize the data by the appropriate count intervals supports this field equipment. URS’ competent count staff has served FDOT in the role of performing districtwide count programs for periods extending up to one year.

Socioeconomic Data Forecasts represent the key element in preparing design year and interim year travel demand forecasts using the available Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) travel forecast

H - 8


model. URS staff under contract to the FDOT worked with various county planning staffs to prepare population, dwelling unit, and employment forecasts for all traffic analysis zones in entire counties over 25-year periods by five-year increments. These forecasts have formed the basis for Comprehensive Plan assessment and for the development of various MPO’s updates of their Long Range Transportation Plans.

Systems Travel Forecast Analyses represent the next typical step in planning-level evaluations in order to establish the capacity demands and make lane calls for specific corridors. Members of the URS team have used the Florida Standard Urban Transportation Model Structure (FSUTMS) model for various multi-county areas to develop traffic projections for specific identified projects. For each of these studies, URS completed a subarea review and model validation for specific application for each study effort. Our experienced, trained staff stands ready to meet the travel demand forecasting needs of Sumter County. In addition, URS is one of only a few firms in the country qualified to conduct toll and revenue studies.

PD&E and Corridor Studies have been performed by the URS team for many types and sizes of new roadways and roadway improvements projects state-wide. In preparation of an updated design travel forecast, application of the “PD&E Traffic Checklist Procedure” jointly developed by URS and FDOT District staff can provide a useful process. This procedure combines the elements of system planning and detailed corridor traffic engineering evaluations into a single traffic and intersection analysis process that determines all traffic and laneage geometry needed for design, noise evaluations, and air quality assessments.

By applying an analysis process that incorporates all traffic-related design criteria information into the examination of alternative roadway improvements, the most cost-effective design year solution and implementation sequence for the corridor improvement can be easily and directly defined. The roadway improvements that result include the basic cross-section needs, all required turn lane improvements at existing and proposed major intersections, and the required storage lane needs at each intersection. This information is calculated for the design year and for any intermediate year desired by the County. The URS team’s capabilities to quickly prepare this assessment of the design traffic and the resulting laneage needs within a corridor as a preliminary analysis to the design effort, suggests that the County might consider including such an evaluation update in corridors that have not yet progressed into final design.

The URS team has extensive experience in performing traffic operations studies and is proficient in the application of all widely used and accepted traffic microsimulation and level-of-service software. These traffic operations studies are performed in conjunction with PD&E or corridor studies, as well as interchange justification reports, intersection and corridor design, and traffic circulation studies, to name a few. URS uses our traffic operations analysis skills to optimize the signals within corridors, recommend minor intersection improvements, and recommend signal timing and phasing refinements.

Staff and Public Participation is an important part of all planning studies. URS always involves client staff as a normal part of our interactive Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) process. We want client staff to have reviewed and be thoroughly familiar with all technical evaluations conducted in the study effort prior to receiving the draft of the study report. Similarly, we encourage public participation at all meaningful opportunities within the study process, either in the form of regular coordination with formal citizen committees and/or through periodic informational workshops within a corridor area. Our current in-house computer projection capabilities provide portable, easily created summary presentation graphics from typical study analysis information that virtually eliminates the previously cumbersome process of preparing for public workshop meetings.

H - 9


Report Documentation represents an important aspect of all URS planning evaluations. This typically includes both summary and technical reports. The “PD&E Traffic Checklist Procedure” specifically addressed this important study conclusion by defining the specific “checklist” outline for a traffic analysis report. The checklist thereby ensures that all pertinent factors in the design year laneage demand and access evaluations are included. Recently, URS’ in-house GIS capability to link (using URS-prepared software) model output, traffic analyses, and land use information has yielded extensive multi-color report graphics summarizing various laneage, volume, and traffic operations information critical to an understanding of the future improvement needs within the study corridors. Recently, the ability to import color enhanced satellite aerial photography as a base map for pertinent planning report illustrations has measurable improvement to the clarity and understanding of planning report graphics.

Preliminary and Final Design

Design Approach Philosophy. Given our team’s extensive experience in planning, designing, and constructing surface transportation projects in Florida and throughout the country, we advocate and practice a process based on abundant communication, cost-effective technical performance, and quality management and technical procedures that are supported by state-of-the-art professional expertise.

Abundant Communication occurs with our client group, with the portion of the public that is both influenced by and interested in the specific improvement project, with the permitting agencies that must approve the design, and within the URS team of professionals and support staff responsible for preparing the design plans and other contractual services.

Cost-Effective Technical Performance means that the URS team delivers on time and within budget! With abundant internal team and external client / public / agency coordination, the inevitable technical and administrative “challenges” throughout the process are defined in advance and are resolved during normal conduct of the technical design procedures. Through optimum use of information already available within Sumter County, in combination with our team’s knowledge of Sumter County and with state-of-the-art technical procedures, our team will “hit the ground running” and will produce the cost-effective quality design that the County desires on each project. All of the experts that are needed for the design, permitting, and construction engineering of any transportation or infrastructure projects are in-house in Central Florida.

Quality Management is a way of life for the URS team, from our project monitoring controls, to our internal product reviews, to our client coordination, to our product delivery. Every step of the design process is planned in advance, thoroughly monitored, and thoroughly checked and checked again. Our individual and team goal is to “do it right the first time and then check to make sure it was performed correctly.” Our overall Management Plan, our Project Manager, and our Quality Assurance Group will ensure that quality management and a quality technical product occur to the satisfaction of Sumter County.

Design Survey

Prior to the initiation of any project task assignment, pertinent members of our project team will meet with the County Surveyor and the GIS Coordinator to research the available data. This discussion and research will define recent surveys that may be incorporated to minimize overall effort and to indicate the existence of pertinent aerials and GIS information for the project assignment.

Given this initial meeting discussion and the available information, the specific requirements for field surveys will be agreed upon and included in the specific task assignment scope of services. For preliminary design efforts, one of the most important decisions at this point will involve the agreement on the corridor limits and the potential range of alternatives that should be examined. Such agreement

H - 10


will establish the level of surveying effort and will define the aerial mapping that will be needed for the design effort. Sumter County staff through the GIS Coordinator could then prepare a TIF file for the URS team which would then be “Tiffed” into the team’s AutoCAD / Civil 3D system. Once the information is in AutoCAD / Civil 3D, it can be merged with the field information obtained. Using the information available from Sumter County’s GIS system will reduce the actual field work necessary for any assigned project.

Once the aerials have been transferred to AutoCAD / Civil 3D, they can be plotted and taken into the field where the planimetric features can be identified and supplementary field information obtained, if required. All environmentally sensitive areas can be located and coordinated with Sumter County and the Southwest Florida Water Management District. Once the areas have been located, we will determine the areas using either GIS or Total Stations and Data Recorders depending on the location and accessibility, thereby enabling pertinent centerline locations to be established, as desired, to work around the environmentally sensitive areas. Concurrent with the field and office work, the GIS information on the parcels adjacent to the proposed right-of-way will be obtained and also used to adjust the centerline and to prepare the right-of-way maps after the design has been completed.

Roadway Improvements

Typically, roadway plans preparation includes plotting of all survey data; establishment of profile grades, analysis of independent geotechnical soil investigation, key map, drainage maps, plan-profile sheets (including geometric calculations), intersection details, typical section sheets including the approved pavement design, summary of quantities sheets, summary of drainage structures, drainage structure detail sheets, lateral ditch / outfall sheets, stormwater treatment details, cross-section sheets (including earthwork computations); maintenance-of-traffic plans and other detail sheets necessary to convey the intent for the planned improvement.

Additional information utilized in development of the plans can consist of:

Draft and Final Pavement Design Package

Draft and Final Typical Section Design Package

Record Decision Documentation Booklet

Record Computation Booklet

All plans and designs will be prepared in accordance with the latest standards approved by Sumter County, AASHTO, and the Florida Department of Transportation (including the Standard Specifications, current memoranda, the Roadway Plans Preparation Manual, the Flexible Pavement Design Manual, and the Drainage Manual (2012) during development of the specific task assignment scope of services.

Drainage Design

Within Sumter County, drainage is typically an important issue in the design of roadway or site improvements. Obviously, considerations of stormwater runoff from the project as well as any existing inadequacies in the surrounding system that have produced previous problems will need to be incorporated. Complete drainage investigations and analyses typically would be undertaken to prepare a design that will comply with stormwater management guidelines of SWFWMD, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the County. Services will include the establishment and design of outfall locations, stormwater treatment and attenuation required to comply with rules of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and SWFWMD. As desired by the County per each task assignment, all SWFWMD permits can be obtained for the roadway and site improvements.

H - 11


Utility Adjustments and Relocations

Utility adjustments and relocations are always a challenge. Incorporation of the required revisions in the design efforts will require close coordination with the County staff and with the utility companies involved in the assigned task study corridor. Obviously, electric, telephone, cable, gas, water and sanitary sewer systems are included. Typically, utility involvement is thoroughly investigated and shown on the plans. Appropriate prints are then furnished to the County for negotiation with the various utility companies. The utility relocation plans are then prepared by the utility companies based upon the negotiations with the County – a process that URS staff can substantially assist.

Construction Cost Estimates

Preliminary construction cost estimates would be prepared based on current bid prices at the time of the estimation, as desired by the County. URS maintains a complete staff of estimators with extensive experience on projects throughout Florida. Unit prices selected for use in determining the cost estimates will be based, in general, on an analysis of bid prices in the area with special emphasis placed on projects of similar size and scope. All estimates will be based on sound engineering judgment and developed to acceptable industry standards for the degree of plan completion at the time of the estimate.

Environmental Services

Primary environmental issues that typically exist within proposed improvement corridors consist of the presence of threatened and / or endangered species, the occurrence of wetlands on-site, and the possibility of their contamination from the proposed improvement or other adjacent sources. The study prepared for the improvement should clearly define the presence of threatened and / or endangered species. If such an examination is not part of the task assignment issue by the County, URS staff always includes this review in scope preparation activities to ensure that no “surprises” exist.

Obviously, all available resources and contacts with agencies such as the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) will be undertaken. URS will perform a site review prior to facility design to locate and estimate the number and location of protected species and wetlands. If it is determined that wetlands or protected species may be present on-site, URS will coordinate with the regulatory agencies and conduct surveys in accordance with FWC and USFWS guidelines. URS will draft an impact assessment that will outline the impacts anticipated, document avoidance and minimization, and provide suggestions for mitigation. As appropriate, mitigation banking will be investigated as an alternative. If gopher tortoises exist on-site, the FWC may require relocation of each individual. URS will locate a recipient site for the gopher tortoises and prepare a relocation plan in accordance with FWC guidelines. URS is one of the few firms in Florida with a staff biologist who has obtained permits through the FWC to relocate gopher tortoises. URS has relocated several hundred gopher tortoises for various projects throughout the state.

Wetlands

The wetlands occurring within some corridors are jurisdictional by the USACE under the authority of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act, and the Southwest Florida Water Management District authorized by 40D-4 Florida Administrative Codes. A Wetland Resource Permit from the SWFWMD and a Dredge and Fill Permit from the USACE will be required if impacts to wetlands cannot be avoided. URS will determine the boundaries of the wetlands in accordance with the 1987 USACE Wetland Delineation Manual and the Delineation of the Landward Extent of Wetlands and Surface Waters outlined in Chapter 62-340 FAC and have the wetland lines field-verified by the USACE and SWFWMD.

H - 12


URS will perform a site evaluation to determine the quantity and quality of wetland habitats that occur within the proposed project area. If required, an alternatives analysis will be prepared pursuant to the Chapter 404 b(1) guidelines to demonstrate that there are no reasonable alternatives to proposed wetland impacts and that wetland impacts have been minimized through the design process.

URS will coordinate with the County throughout the site evaluation and design process. A pre-application meeting will be held with the USACE, SWFWMD, and the County to review the project design, discuss wetland impacts, and negotiate mitigation compensation ratios. In conjunction with the project design, URS will prepare a permit application package for both the SWFWMD and the USACE. URS will respond to requests for additional information in a timely manner. Throughout the design and permitting process, we will maintain close communication with the permitting agencies and the County.

URS will also coordinate with the agencies on possible mitigation plans including mitigation banking, ecosystem management, on-site versus off-site mitigation, and creation, restoration or enhancement of wetlands. It is possible that 100-year floodplain compensation may be required by SWFWMD for impacts to those areas. If this is the case, the use of an on-site mitigation area may become the most cost-effective due to its joint use as a wetlands mitigation and a 100-year flood plain compensation area. URS has experience with many projects in which the ecosystem management approach was used.

Contamination Impact Considerations

If an active landfill is located within a proposed road alignment, a limited contamination screening of the parcels within the proposed alignment and the adjacent properties may be required. The objective of the screening is to help identify current and / or previous land uses within or in the vicinity of the proposed project, which are likely to involve the use, storage, generation, or disposal of hazardous substances or petroleum products.

The land use information is developed by reviewing historical aerial photography, site reconnaissance and field interviews, and a review of government database computer files. After conducting this research, URS will produce a report that will include a description of the study site and the surrounding area, an evaluation of the current and past land usage, identification of areas of concern, and provide recommendation for further evaluation if needed.

Permitting

Permitting for transportation and infrastructure improvement projects can be straightforward or complex. The URS team is well aware and highly experienced in obtaining the necessary permits for complex projects and follows a well-defined process. Early and frequent coordination are key components of our process. For typical improvement projects, the following permits could be required:

Stormwater Permits

Dredge and Fill Permits

Environmental Mitigation Plan

The specific permit requirements anticipated for a specific task assignment will represent one item of discussion at the initial scoping discussions with the County.

Geotechnical Services

For a specific task assignment project, the need for and scope of geotechnical services will be an important initial discussion item. All agreed-upon services will be performed in accordance with the Sumter County requirements or the FDOT’s Soils and Foundations Handbook. All tests will be

H - 13


performed as specified in the manual using the appropriate American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard testing methods.

Typically, the URS team is responsible for performing a complete geotechnical investigation for the proposed bridges, roadway, retaining walls, high-mast light poles, high embankment fills and retention recommendations. Services often include subsurface investigation, field and laboratory testing, data analysis, design recommendations, and report preparation.

Typical primary objectives of the geotechnical investigation are to determine subsurface soil and / or rock conditions at the proposed project site, analyze feasible foundation types for the structures, determine the load carrying capacity of the subsoils and rocks, and provide recommendations for an optimum foundation design. The selection of the optimum foundation design focuses on the most economical, feasible and safe system.

Structure Plans

URS is a leader in the field of bridge design and inspection. Each task assignment of this nature will be carefully reviewed with the County staff to define the type and level of structural engineering services required.

Signing and Marking Plans

As required on a specific project assignment, signing and marking plans will be prepared in accordance with the latest design standards and practices (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices), Florida Department of Transportation Standard Specifications, Roadway and Traffic Design Standards (latest edition), and Sumter County standards as provided to the URS team. Services typically include the preparation of scaled drawings for signing and pavement markings including a key sheet; a note sheet; a tabulation of quantities by sheet; and plan sheets showing the roadway proposed geometry, the striping design and all proposed signing with respective stations, call outs, and special sheet details.

Traffic Signal Plans

As required for a specific task assignment, traffic signal plans will be prepared in accordance with the latest design standards and practices (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices), Florida Department of Transportation Standard Specifications, Roadway and Traffic Design Standards, and Sumter County standards as provided to the URS team. Services typically include preparation of a scaled drawing for signalization of each pertinent intersection. The plans include one key sheet; one note sheet; one tabulation of quantities sheet; one plan sheet showing the proposed geometry, conflicting utilities, the right-of-way, and the signal design; special pole and mast arm detail sheets; and a pole schedule sheet (including all design calculations). Consideration of signal interconnect requirements will be added as desired by the County.

Construction Phasing Study and Plan

The URS team is thoroughly familiar with and experienced in the development of plans for sequencing construction for facility improvements. Such a study would typically consider the impact on traffic operations, utility relocation, adjacent ties, construction costs, and constructibility. The plan would be developed in such a manner that each project can be made operational upon completion and would be phased so that it gives the County the best value for its investment.

H - 14


Maintenance of Traffic

Given the importance of this item on virtually all major roadway improvement projects, the URS team typically prepares plans to ensure that traffic is maintained during construction for all existing roadways. The plans would be prepared in accordance with County desires and in accordance with the Manual On Uniform Traffic Control Devices, Part VI, and INDEX No. 600 Series; the FDOT Roadway and Traffic Design Standards; and under the direction of and signed and sealed by an engineer who has received training in an approved FDOT Advanced Traffic Control Program.

The plans typically include details of construction phasing, patterns of traffic flow, temporary pavement, special detours where required, temporary signing and pavement markings, temporary signals (if applicable), drainage, and all “special case” situations involving barricades and temporary barrier walls, etc. In cases where it is necessary to reduce the number of open lanes during construction, the construction activity can be limited to off-peak traffic periods. The URS team will identify which operations during the construction process will require a lane closure. We will then identify time periods that allow traffic lanes to be closed for those operations.

Lighting Plans

Services typically include, but are not limited to, preparation of the plan layout; typical sections; key sheet; quantities (including lighting quantity) lighting computations, tabulation of pole data sheets, and any special detail sheets necessary. URS emphasizes close coordination with the County to ensure consistency in the design of lighting appurtenances. Both temporary and permanent lighting is included.

Right-of-Way Maps

The URS team also typically prepares documents for determining and justifying additional rights-of-way required by our designs. Every effort is made to minimize the limits of right-of-way acquisition through the creative use of the existing right-of-way. We would also be responsible for complete preparation of final right-of-way maps for the project as desired by the County. Complete right-of-way key maps and detail sheets would be prepared in accordance with the County’s guidelines or the FDOT’s Right-of-Way Engineering Manual. Right-of-way detail maps may be either line drawings or aerial photobase prepared to the specified size and format. URS would submit key maps, detail sheets and legal descriptions to the County for review at stages of completion as specified by the County’s Project Manager. Associated typical services include property ownership searches and the preparation of pertinent legal descriptions.

Post Design Services

URS provides a strong base of construction management services to a host of clients including local, state and federal government agencies, as well as numerous private entities. Our firm has been regarded as one of the leading firms for complete engineering services for surface transportation improvements. These services include planning and design, as well as supervision and inspection of construction activities. From the design and construction engineering for some of the nation’s first turnpike facilities in the Northeast, to the ongoing completion of the interstate highway system in South Florida and development of programs for privatized transportation facilities in California, URS has continued to provide timely, technically sound, and successful consulting services to our clients. A high rate of repeat clients is testimony to the responsive services and working relationships that we have provided.

In Florida, URS has provided construction management for many projects for FDOT and counties in central Florida.

H - 15


Our complete understanding of the physical and operational requirements for roadway construction has been a key point to our continued success in construction management.

Post design services are intended to address changed conditions that occur following acceptance of final plans and are classified according to whether the services are required before or after construction letting – design assistance and construction assistance, respectively. Design assistance consists of those post design services that may be required to maintain the integrity and usefulness of final design up through the letting of construction. Construction assistance consists of those post design services that may be required to satisfactorily complete construction.

Design assistance services may include items such as survey update, plans maintenance, and expert witness testimony.

Construction assistance services may include plans / survey update, engineering assistance, expert witness testimony, and review of shop drawings.

Construction engineering and inspection may include construction management, resident inspection, periodic inspection, or any combination of such assistance that fits the County’s needs and the project’s complexity.

As desired by Sumter County, URS can function as an extension to the County’s construction staff and interface regularly with the County’s staff. All CEI personnel will adhere to the regulations and proceed as expected of the County’s personnel. Our primary function will be to monitor progress of the contractor’s work to ensure compliance with the contract documents and applicable permits and regulations. In addition, we would monitor schedule, perform on-site testing, and maintain adequate records for DBE participation, monthly invoice verification, and final project closeout.

We envision our role as an agent and an extension of the County’s staff and would, in every way, conduct ourselves accordingly. We maintain and provide only support staff that has extensive experience in surface transportation, drainage, and infrastructure projects.

Additional Services

Additional services can be provided by the URS Tampa and Orlando offices if needed for any of the task assignments. We have specifically utilized our Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Group and our Creative Imaging Group as tools for public involvement for transportation projects.

Our GIS Group delivers a variety of industry-standard and custom GIS solutions to our clients. Their capabilities span all phases of the project life cycle, from user needs assessments and data collection to cartography, database design, and application development utilizing industry leading GIS software and hardware technology. Our GIS software includes ArcGIS, ArcInfo, ArcView, ArcIMS, ArcSDE, ArcExplorer, MapObjects, MapInfo, AutoDesk Map, and GPS capabilities.

One of the strongest tools URS has is the Creative Imaging Group. Creative Imaging develops computer-generated photo simulations, video animations, website graphics, and other computer-related visual communications to depict improvement impacts and preferred solutions for visual buy-in. The results are powerful tools that convey design concepts to the client and project stakeholders in a public forum and for briefings to decision-makers.

Project Management Plan URS’ coordination plan for this continuing services contract involves both a strong core project management team and a process to respond to requests for services. The project management team is comprised of a Project Manager (Larry Sauls), a Planning & Engineering / Design Services

H - 16


Task Manager (Chris Rizzolo) and a Construction Services Task Manager (Ron Kishpaugh). These three individuals are available to the County full-time as needed. The project team is assigned to two functional areas, planning & engineering / design services and construction services. Each functional area’s Task Manager will assist the Project Manager in identifying the appropriate staff to complete the requested services, conducting quality assurance reviews, and monitoring schedules and budgets.

Project Manager: Larry Sauls, PE will be responsible for all contracting activities, integration of service delivery between the Task Managers assigned to individual work orders, financial operations, supervision of quality control activities, and overall County satisfaction with URS’ service delivery process. We propose that the Project Manager serve as our firm’s point of contact for all assignments issued by the County.

The Project Manager independently monitors progress and performance on all assignments to ensure that work is being performed in a cost-effective, timely, and technically proficient manner. If management intervention is required, the Project Manager will work with Task Managers to identify and implement corrective actions

necessary to ensure that the County’s project objectives are achieved within the established cost, time, and quality guidelines. The designated Project Manager may also serve as a Task Manager for assignments within his expertise.

Task Managers: The Task Managers and designated key personnel will prepare Task Activity Plans to support the performance of work identified in a work order. The Task Activity Plans establish budget, scope, and schedule, as well as interactions both within the URS project team and with outside agencies or subcontractors. As appropriate, the Task Activity Plans will be subject to review by County staff. The Task Manager uses the Task Activity Plans to form an overall schedule and budget estimate after establishing that the efforts of each group have been coordinated, the budgets are reasonable, and that all contract requirements will be met. The plans become the baseline for performance measurement.

Once the Task Activity Plan for the assignment is established and accepted by the County, appropriate data are entered into URS' computerized budget and manpower tracking system. This system generates reports showing scheduled manpower by week for the entire project and actual effort by week for each member of URS' technical and support staff. These reports provide documentation of URS' total technical manpower requirements and identify any conflicts among tasks for specific manpower resources.

Project Communications Given the visibility of County projects, it is imperative to establish and maintain effective communication, both within the URS team and between the URS team members and Sumter County staff. Effective communication starts at the project management level and must continue through to all staff, be they from the URS or the County.

We recommend implementation of a communication protocol that will utilize single points of contact within the County and URS for each assigned project. We will utilize email correspondence extensively and Technical Memoranda and Monthly Progress reports, when necessary, to assist in the communication of technical, cost and schedule issues. Additionally, informal project status briefings and formal presentations to County staff can be scheduled at the discretion of the County. Status briefings, formal presentations, and workshops are encouraged as additional mechanisms to facilitate

H - 17


communicating significant technical issues, potential schedule delays, or other issues that appear significant.

Our proposed protocol is flexible and can be easily modified to best suit the needs of a project and the County.

Scheduling Scheduling provides the framework for effective project management by logically combining the scope, schedule and budget together. The firm utilizes industry-standard scheduling software (Microsoft Project) to identify and monitor program activities, cost and schedule.

All major activities and deliverables are identified on the schedule. Deliverable submittal dates and major project events are classified as project milestones. The activities required to meet these milestone dates

are identified and logically scheduled to support their achievement. Two areas of particular importance are the identification of all applicable review and comment cycles, and the consideration of all external constraints put on the schedule by third parties for which there may be little or no control with respect to their performance, but that have a significant impact on project progress.

The vast majority of our projects are completed on schedule and within budget. When projects are delayed, it is typically due to unforeseen circumstances. Modifications to project budgets are only requested when there is clearly a change in project services.

Budget Control URS maintains rigorous internal administrative procedures and systems to monitor the labor utilization and financial expenditures of each project. The internal systems enable the Project Manager to evaluate the timeliness and cost-effectiveness of technical progress on any authorization. The basic element of the management control process is the URS Enterprise One (EPO), a proprietary, computerized Management Information System for financial

management and control of projects. The EPO is designed to assist the Project Manager in control of the scheduling, technical, manpower, and financial aspects of the project.

The system provides the managers with real-time financial information. Financial information for a particular week (through Friday) is available the following Monday. The system is in place at all URS office locations worldwide and supplies the following information on a weekly basis: project personnel working on the task, office location, hours billed for that week, task and accrued cost/hours-to-date, labor amount, equipment costs, direct expenses, and total expenditures.

Standard summary documents produced by the EPO include the Weekly Job Detail Report and the Weekly Job Summary Report. These reports are two of several financial reports that can be produced as a function of the specific requirements of the project. The Job Summary Report, a detailed report issued on a weekly basis, contains “to-date” labor charges, expense charges, equipment charges, to-date budgets, and budget-to-actual comparisons. Charges are summarized by operation, with a subtotal by increment and an overall job total. Only operations that have current charges are printed. The to-date amounts are displayed by type (labor, expenses, and equipment) and summarized.

Sumter County Board of County Commissioners Financial Services Department Request for Qualifications – Continuing Contract for Engineering, Surveying and Related Services RFQ # 015-0-2014/CRM Exceptions July 14, 2014 In accordance with the BOCC’s Response to Question 25 provided during the Questions period and the Qualifications Form for Board of Sumter County Commissioners, URS submits the following exceptions/clarifications to the terms and conditions of the RFQ and the Sample Professional Engineering Services Contract (“Agreement”).

1) URS requests that the RFQ and, in the event of an award, the resulting Agreement, be modified to include the modifications and clarifications agreed to by the County in its responses to the questions submitted on or before June 13, 2014.

2) URS requests the indemnification provisions set forth in the “Indemnification” provision in Part 3

(Scope of Services) on page 20 of the RFP, Section 10 of the Sample Professional Engineering Services Contract and, in the event of an award, the resulting Agreement be in compliance with the provisions of Florida Statute Section 725.08(2) (2013).

3) Subject to the provisions of Florida Statute Section 725.08(2) (2013), URS agrees to execute the Hold

Harmless Agreement.

4) URS requests the following modifications to the Standard Insurance Requirements on pages 19 – 21: a) Page 19, third paragraph (Commercial General Liability Insurance), last line: URS requests the

deletion of this requirement, as our self-insured retention is greater than $25,000. b) Page 19, sixth paragraph (Umbrella or Excess Liability Insurance), last line: URS requests the

inclusion of a new final sentence, which states, “Contractor may satisfy the limits required in this section by any combination of primary and excess policies.”

c) Page 19, seventh paragraph (Professional or Errors & Omissions Liability Insurance), last sentence: URS requests the deletion of this sentence in its entirety, as it is not commercial possible to endorse the BOCC (or name any other third party) as an additional insured on a Professional Liability policy.

d) Page 20 (Deductibles, Coinsurance Penalties & Self-Insured Retention), last sentence: This does not appear to be applicable since URS is providing professional services.

e) Page 20 (Waiver of Subrogation), first sentence: URS requests that the phrase “BOCC, Contractor, subcontractor, architects, or engineers” be replaced with “BOCC”. It is not appropriate for URS to waive the rights of subrogation in favor of these parties.

f) Page 21, Item 4: URS requests the language included in this Item be replaced with the following language “BOCC shall be provided at least thirty (30) days’ notice of cancellation if any of its policies are cancelled by the insurer, except for cancellation for nonpayment of premium.”

5) URS appreciates the opportunity to submit this Proposal, and reserves the right to negotiate a mutually agreeable contract for the services contemplated by this RFQ, including mutually agreeable insurance requirements.
