Wetlands: Generally identify and map significant wetlands falling partially or wholly within the Study area that may affect the viability or location of any Corridor Alternative. 1) The identification of all wetland involvements along a project corridor. 2) An evaluation of project impacts on each wetland site. 3) An evaluation of all project alternatives including avoidance alternatives. 4) An evaluation of the significance of each wetland site. 5) An evaluation of the uniqueness of each wetland site. 6) An evaluation of the function/value of each wetland site. 7) A formal wetlands finding stating that no practical alternatives to the wetland taking exist, if such is the case. 8) An evaluation of all practicable measures to minimize harm to wetlands. 9) An evaluation of the reasonableness of mitigation measures proposed to reduce adverse impacts. b. Conceptual Mitigation Plan If the project impacts wetlands, a conceptual mitigation plan will address the three types of mitigation: avoidance, minimization, and compensation. The three types are to be employed in sequence, with avoidance being the first measure utilized to reduce impacts. Compensatory mitigation includes actions such as wetland preservation, restoration, enhancement, or creation. C. Threatened and Endangered Species: Identify and map potential wildlife corridors that affect any Corridor Alternative. Conduct a literature search to survey and identify areas that may contain state and federally designated endangered and threatened species or species of special concern. A map shall be produced that shows the area(s) containing such species in relation to the various Corridor Alternatives. d. Soils: Obtain and map existing information (such as County soil survey maps and other information from the Soils Conservation Service) to generally describe the composition of large areas of unacceptable soils within the Study area, and their impact on the location of Corridor Alternatives. e. Floodplain and Drainage: Identify, delineate, and map all base (100 -year frequency) floodplains and all floodways that may affect the viability/location of any Corridor Alternative. Task 4: Existina Conditions Analysis The purpose of this study task is to provide a general evaluation of the level of service on the major roadways in the study area. The latest version of the FDOT Level of Service Tables or software will be utilized to define existing levels of service. Accomplishment of these objectives will occur through the following activities: A-8 Contract # 16-6617 "Randall Boulevard and Oil Well Corridor Study" 1. Existina Traffic The Consultant will prepare a spreadsheet tabulation showing location specific values for: (1) the percent of daily traffic occurring in the peak hours; (2) the directional distribution of travel during the peak hours; and (3) the daily and peak hour truck percentages (where available). 2. Traffic Adjustment The Consultant will adjust the actual counts to represent average annual daily traffic volumes (AADT) using weekly seasonal adjustment factors provided by the County. 3. Link Level Analysis The Consultant will determine the associated roadway link levels of service based on the current version of the Highway Capacity Manual and associated support programs. 4. Existing Conditions Analysis Report All computer generated tabulations and illustrations (including truck/heavy vehicle flow patterns) related to the existing conditions analysis will undergo quality assurance checks by the Consultant and will be prepared for inclusion in the Existing Conditions Analysis Report. Tabular summaries of the existing level of service conditions will be prepared by the Consultant and reviewed by the County. 5. Social and Cultural Impacts All feasible project alternatives, including the no -build alternative, must be investigated. Community impact analysis addresses three general categories of impacts: 1. Direct impacts, such as loss of structural or environmental features in the Right of Way and relocation of residents or businesses; 2. Indirect impacts, those which are caused by direct impacts and often occur later in time or further away in distance than direct impacts; and 3. Cumulative impacts, the combined effects produced when seemingly minor project impacts take on greater significance when considered in combination with the impacts of other past, present, or reasonably foreseeable future actions. The relative magnitude of social and economic impacts can vary across communities, neighborhoods, and stakeholder groups due to differing degrees of sensitivity toward a particular issue or impact. An impact that is perceived by one community as significantly adverse might be widely tolerated or even desirable to another. Such variation can make determining the importance of an impact both challenging and unpredictable. Guidance to making this determination is gained through adaptation of criteria established by the CEQ Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (40 CFR 1500-1508), as follows: 1. Probability of the effect occurring; 2. Number of individuals affected; 3. Likely duration of the impact; 4. Relative value of benefits or costs to groups (i.e., the intensity of the impact); 5. Extent that negative impacts can be mitigated; A-9 Contract # 16-6617 "Randall Boulevard and Oil Well Corridor Study" GAO 6. Likelihood and nature of secondary impacts; 7. Relevance to present and future policy decisions; 8. Level of uncertainty over possible effects; and 9. Presence or absence of controversy. The Consultant must develop a community profile through contact with local officials, summarizing the history, present conditions and anticipated future needs of the Corridor Study area. This profile will be used to describe the "affected environment' in the environmental document and will serve as the basis for identifying potential impacts of the proposed transportation improvement. The community profile will typically include: 1. A visual map or maps that depict physical characteristics, such as neighborhood boundaries, land uses, medical facilities, educational facilities (public and private), religious institutions, cemeteries (public and private), publicly owned facilities (parks, recreation areas, wildlife refuges), historic districts and sites, archaeological sites, fire station, civic facilities, government buildings, and commercial centers; 2. Narrative text that describes community characteristics, such as population demographics, economic, social history and values of the communities, the importance of various facilities, and plans for the future; and 3. Tables or graphics that summarize important data or conclusions, such as population demographics or employment trends. Social impacts that may occur as the result of proposed transportation improvements include impacts on community cohesion, community facilities and services, mobility and safety. The following sections provide specific guidance for documentation for each of the social impact areas: a. Community Cohesion The community profile development process will have allowed the analyst to reach conclusions regarding the degree of cohesiveness of various groups within the adjacent neighborhoods and the community as a whole. The Community Cohesion section should discuss the impacts of each alternative for the proposed action on this cohesiveness. The types of impacts that should be evaluated include: 1. Bisecting (dividing) neighborhoods; 2. Social isolation (isolating a portion of an ethnic group or neighborhood); 3. Facilitating new development (infill); 4. Urban renewal; 5. Decreased neighborhood size (relocation); 6. Joint land use; 7. Changes in property values; A-10 Contract # 16-6617 "Randall Boulevard and Oil Well Corridor Study" �O G 8. Changes in neighborhood or community access; 9. Changes in quality of life; 10. Changes in neighborhood identification; and 11. Separation of residences from community facilities. b. Community Facilities and Services Community services will have been identified during development of the community profile. The Community Facilities and Services section should address impacts of each alternative for the proposed action on these community facilities and services. The following specific types of facilities must be addressed: 1. Schools; 2. Religious institutions; 3. Parks, recreation centers and playgrounds; 4. Social service agencies; 5. Housing for the elderly, retirement centers, or other special needs residential facilities; 6. Hospitals and other medical facilities; 7. Community centers; 8. Senior centers; 9. Libraries; 10. Retail and other commercial establishments; 11. Day care centers; and 12. Emergency services, such as fire and police stations. C. Mobility The Mobility section should describe and discuss changes in travel patterns and accessibility (e.g., vehicular, commuter, bicycle, or pedestrian). Particular attention should be given regarding the effects of such changes on community mobility and neighborhood interaction. d. Safety The Safety section should discuss and evaluate the impacts of each alternative for the proposed action on both traffic and neighborhood safety. Neighborhood safety issues to be addressed include: 1. Police/emergency services, 2. Trucking/Hauling 4. Mining operations vehicles 3. Bicycle/pedestrian safety. Where the evaluation determines that potential impacts on neighborhood or traffic safety are substantial, the document should provide discussion of possible mitigation to reduce the impact potential. e. Economic Impacts Economic impacts that may occur as the result of proposed transportation improvements include changes in growth rates, business activity, property values, A-11 Contract # 16-6617 "Randall Boulevard and Oil Well Corridor Study" 0 and tax revenues. These impacts are generally related to one of two factors: changes in the accessibility of an area and/or changes in the local environment. The types of impacts that should be evaluated for businesses include: 1. Changes in regional traffic (bypass impacts); 2. Changes in business environment (noise, air quality, aesthetics, amenities, traffic volumes and traffic speed); 3. Access changes (delivery, employee, and customer); 4. Changes in customer and/or employee base (relocations); and 5. Compatibility with economic development plans. The type of impacts that should be evaluated for residential areas include: 1. Changes in residential environment (noise, air quality, aesthetics, amenities, traffic volumes and traffic speed); and 2. Changes in employment opportunities and retail shopping/services related to changes in businesses. The types of impacts that should be evaluated for local taxing authorities include: 1. Conversion of taxable property to public use; 2. Affected taxing authorities; and 3. Revenue losses and the effect on taxing authorities. f. Land Use Impacts The Land Use impacts will describe how the project will or will not meet the Long Range Transportation Plan and the local comprehensive plan by determining the following: 1. Existing and Future land Use; 2. Consistency with Land Use Planning; 3. Joint Land Use Development; 4. Aesthetics and Livability Impacts; 5. Relocation & Displacement Impacts Task 5: Corridor Alternatives Analysis and Ranking A Corridor Alternative is a comprehensive, conceptual proposal that illustrates and defines the development and improvement of new and existing transportation facilities and services, in order to increase the person -carrying capacity of the corridor and to carry local and through trips that improve urban mobility and goods movement. The proposal must be based on system analysis and identify the development and improvement of regional transportation facilities and services which influence the performance of the study corridor and other adjacent facilities. The proposal must be coordinated with state, regional, and local transportation plans. The 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan identified the Randall Boulevard/Oil Well Road Study Area. The study area surrounds the Randall Boulevard and Oil Well Road corridors and is intended A-12 Contract # 16-6617 "Randall Boulevard and Oil Well Corridor Study" that this study clearly define the most appropriate corridor for needed multi -lane improvements to facilitate east -west travel.

Vice President and Transportation Manager 239-596-8989 x59202 bgramer@ch2m.com Tab II - Business Plan TAB II BUSINESS PLAN The CH2M Team is ready now to provide all services required to meet the Engineering, Environmental, and Public Involvement requirements associated with the Randall Boulevard Corridor Study. Our technical approach is based on history of doing extensive work within the project area for Collier County and the Florida Department of Transportation District One (FDOT 1), a comprehensive understanding of existing and proposed site conditions, a detailed review of adjacent project plans (current and future), review of traffic data and the overall Collier County roadway network, existing and future access management requirements, environmental constraints, construction constraints, utility and drainage issues, numerous discussions with project stakeholders, and many hours inspecting plans and recording site conditions. In addition to our extensive data gathering, we have provided innovative, cost-saving solutions to specific project issues and believe our ideas will provide the quality, cost-effective study the County expects and deserves. This proposal does not just identify project issues, it provides solutions! We believe that CH2M has proven its commitment to Collier County and the Randall Boulevard Study by the thoroughness of this document. By accomplishing this data preparation and legwork before the project has begun, the CH2M Team is prepared to deliver on its promise of giving Collier County an “Effective and Efficient Project Delivery.” We will deliver this well- coordinated project within budget and on schedule as shown on our Project Schedule (included in this section). We understand the careful balance between the engineering, environment, and public involvement elements of a corridor study, and look forward to working with the County and project stakeholders in workshops and public meetings throughout the study process. We will establish project criteria, develop preferred typical sections, and define corridor alternatives that are consistent with the Collier County Growth Management Plan. The improvements must satisfy the future traffic needs of the area while minimizing impacts to the surrounding neighborhoods and the environment. Determining the feasibility of the potential improvements resulting from the proposed Randall Boulevard Corridor Study will require a clear demonstration that the project can pass the following three tests:  The public can accept the alignment  The regulatory agencies can permit the alignment  The preferred alignment is cost effective The determination that an alignment can provide a net environmental benefit is expected to support a positive outcome for the first two tests. A careful analysis of all the project costs from land acquisition through construction maintenance is expected to provide a sound basis for the third test. Providing geometric alternatives that are aesthetically pleasing, minimize environmental impacts, enhance safety, reduce ROW impacts, alleviate flooding, and minimize mitigation and permitting concerns are key to success of the project. Other key roadway Aerial of Randall Blvd (looking east) as shown from fire tower at SW corner of 8th Street NE planning/design elements that will be studied include access management, drainage conveyance, treatment and attenuation requirements, establishment of the vertical geometric alignment constraints that consider seasonal high-water (SHW) characteristics and meets FDOT criteria, as well as Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) requirements. In addition, the improvements constructed must include the least amount of future throw away costs possible. The Randall Boulevard Corridor Study must incorporate many aspects. Important considerations include the following:  Compliance with FDOT and AASHTO design standards and specifications  Compliance with the Collier County Land Development Code  Accommodation of all physical constraints encountered  Minimization of environmental impacts  Maximization of existing ROW and minimization of proposed ROW  Address concerns of SFWMD and ACOE for future Permitting  Stormwater conveyance, treatment and attenuation requirements including understanding of Seasonal High Water (SHW) effects  Provision for future development and access  Public perception/support before, during, and after the project Project Understanding The Randall Boulevard Corridor Study project consists of evaluating potential “network” improvements between Immokalee Road (to the west) to Desoto Boulevard (to the east) and Oil Well Road (to the north) and Randall Boulevard (to the south). The Study will evaluate potential:  Improvements to Randall Boulevard  Improvements to Oil Well Road  Improvements to Desoto Boulevard  Improvements to Everglades Boulevard  New “S” Connector between Randall Boulevard and Oil Well Road The study will also need to consider:  Future “At-Grade” Improvements planned for the Immokalee/Randall Intersection (CH2M Study w/FDOT 1)  Future “Fly-Over” Improvements planned for the Immokalee/Randall Intersection (CH2M Study w/FDOT 1)  Proposed Oil Well Road (Segment 3) Alignment modification (proposed by Rural Land West Developers) (CH2M Design w/Collier County)  Proposed new Bridges at 8th (Funded) and 16th (Unfunded) across the Main Golden Gate Canal  Potential new bridges within the Golden Gate Estates area as defined in the East of CR 951 Bride Study (to improve circulation)  Potential “future” 2-Lane N/S roadway adjacent to Main Golden Gate Canal from Golden Gate Blvd to Randall Blvd (Shown in 2040 LRTP needs Plan) In addition, the study will evaluate:  Intersection/Circulation improvements such as: o Roundabouts o Fly-Overs o Frontage roadways Existing Randall Blvd. is a 2-lane rural facility which extends from Immokalee Rd. to Desoto Blvd. The expansion of Randall Blvd (8th Street NE to Oil Well Rd/Everglades Blvd) from a 2-Lane to a 6-lane facility is listed as an UNFUNDED Project in the 2040 LRTP (Ranked 16th).  Access Management Issues/Options ◆ New Signal Locations The CH2M Team has carefully analyzed the project area and developed a work plan and detailed schedule that address all project requirements and timelines. This analysis includes our review of the Scope of Services, the Collier MPO’s LRTP, and future land use plans within and surrounding the study area. The existing and future land use will need to be accurately assessed and factored into the traffic models prepared for the study. EXISTING LAND USE: RESIDENTIAL  Golden Gate Estates  Housing Developments such as: o Valencia o Orange Tree o Orange Blossom Ranch  Water Ways EDUCATIONAL  Corkscrew Elementary School  Corkscrew Middle School  Palmetto Ridge High School INDUSTRIAL  Orange Tree Utilities FUTURE LAND USE CONSIDERATIONS INCLUDE:  Triangle Development DCA (Commercial - Publix)  Emergent Development Group DCA (Commercial)  Orange Tree/Valencia future development (Residential)  Rural Lands West (Residential/Commercial)  PUD - Emmanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church  “Future” Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park  Options for County Owned Parcel (47.57Ac.) between Immokalee and 4th Street Our design team has conducted numerous field visits and has photo-logged the corridor to fully understand the key issues and design constraints. Also, we have discussed the project with representatives of the Collier County Transportation Department, Utility Department, Planning Department, Right- of Way Department, South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), and Big Cypress Basin (BCB) to develop the most practical approach for this highly visible and challenging project. The CH2M Team also has completed extensive preliminary engineering and site surveys to develop a comprehensive understanding of the physical and environmental aspects of the project. We have prepared GIS Maps (included later in this Tab) to identify various project features with regards to:  Land Use  Watershed Basins  Soils  FEMA  Endangered Species and Critical Habitat  Wetlands We also have conducted a preliminary habitat survey to evaluate the potential presence of endangered species residing within the project vicinity. These efforts will make our team immediately effective on the Randall Boulevard Corridor Study. Many of the Project Team members assigned to the Immokalee/Randall PD&E Study will be assigned to this study. Species Surveys will be conducted as part of this project It should be noted that the current Immokalee Road/Randall Blvd PD&E Study being performed by CH2M for FDOT 1, has been placed on hold pending the results of the Randall Blvd Corridor Study.

Our approach provides a detailed discussion of elements and key issues and describes how the impact of these components will be addressed and resolved. For purposes of this proposal, our approach is organized based on the tasks listed in the Scope of Services, as well as additional services that may be needed for this type of project. Task A – Project Initiation At the Project Kick-Off Meeting, the CH2M Team will meet with the Collier County Project Manager (Lorraine Lantz, AICP) and other designated County representatives (MPO, Utility Department, Transportation, Traffic Operations, Storm Water, etc.) to verify the project intent and discuss the project approach. Note: Two weeks prior to the meeting, CH2M will formally send a list of required information to the County to allow sufficient time for the County to gather the requested information (Plans, studies, utility GIS data etc.). CH2M will deliver a detailed project schedule that specifies all required project tasks and highlights the Critical Path items. A preliminary version of this schedule (which will be refined by County input) has already been developed and included in this Tab. CH2M will prepare meeting minutes and will distribute to all attendees and other significant County staff within 1 week of the meeting. In addition, we will forward the Contract Conditions explained by the County to our Accounting Department immediately after the meeting to ensure proper invoicing procedures. CH2M will receive their official Notice to Proceed at this meeting and will begin work immediately reviewing the data received from the County. As shown (later in this Tab), CH2M has already identified project issues and concerns that could be addressed and discussed at this meeting. Our team has prepared numerous exhibits, included in this proposal, which will allow the County to immediately evaluate project issues and discuss potential alternatives. As part of the Project Initiation, we recommend that the County participate in a Team Chartering process. Project Chartering Chartering is a process for developing an expanded team in a short time. The charter itself is created by the design team, the client (Collier County), and any other project stakeholders (e.g., permitting agencies) and states the common purpose and expectations for the team. The chartering process includes the following steps:  Define the Vision – The team’s vision for a successful project as well as understanding of the purpose and scope will be discussed.  Clarify the Team Purpose – Who is on the team and for what purpose is determined. How the team will measure success is discussed and agreed upon.  Define Responsibilities – What are the boundaries for individual responsibilities and where are the interfaces between individuals? Also, shared responsibilities are defined.  Develop Team Operating Guidelines – This develops the lines of communication between team members while maintaining contractual responsibility. The product of this initial chartering session is a team charter that is endorsed by all team members. The chartering session is the first step toward team building and provides definition of roles and expectations to avoid delays and redundant efforts, clear responsibilities, and lines of communication to avoid conflicts. This process has been successfully used on many of our “Corridor Study” projects with multiple stakeholders.

STUDY 15 Month SchedulePage 2Project: Randall Boulevard Corridor StDate: Sun 5/15/16 ETDM Programming Screen A preliminary screening of the project will be performed using the Efficient Transportation Decision Making (ETDM) process. The purpose of this early evaluation is to obtain public and regulatory agency input and identify potential fatal flaws. Steps to complete the ETDM Programming Screen: 1. The Preliminary Environmental Discussion on Study Area: In coordination with Gwen Pipkin, FDOT District One ETDM Coordinator, the ETDM Programming Screen begins with the submission of the Preliminary Environmental Discussion (PED) to the ETAT reviewers. The study area (or study corridor alternatives) will be evaluated using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data that contains information related to the natural, social and physical environment. The ETDM Programming Screen is conducted to provide an opportunity for early agency input into the identification of environmental resources and the alternatives to be evaluated. The comments provided by the ETAT will be considered when developing and evaluating preliminary corridors. It is anticipated that most of the ETAT agency input will be relevant to technical studies that will be conducted during the PD&E Study. 2. Alternative Corridor Evaluation (ACE) Methodology Memorandum (MM): An Alternative Corridor Evaluation (ACE) Methodology Memorandum will be prepared as part of the ETDM Programming Screen to allow agency input on the methodology for developing and evaluating the corridors. 3. ACE Report (ACER): The ACE Report (ACER) documents the project purpose and need, existing and proposed conditions, development of corridor alternatives, project refinements made in consideration of ETAT and stakeholder comments, public involvement commentary, and recommendations. By applying the methodology and evaluation criteria (documented in the Methodology Memorandum (MM), the ACER summarizes the justifications for eliminating corridor alternatives. Task B – Public Involvement Collier County continues to be one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the United States. According the University of Florida’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research (as shown in the 2040 LRTP), Collier County is expected to reach a population of about 500,000 by 2040, a 57% increase from 2010, with a projected employment of over 241,000 jobs. The public is concerned about anticipated growth in Collier County, local access and circulation issues, means of handling increased traffic demands, impacts to local businesses and residential areas, and, most importantly, aesthetics. Local citizens, the business community, and public officials all share these concerns. This “Corridor Study” will impact the lives of many permanent and seasonal Florida residents, as well as tourists and businesses. Accordingly, a public involvement plan that includes the tools to reach a wide spectrum of the public is needed. A proactive public involvement program, initiated early in the project, will be developed to promote public input and disseminate project information. This effort will enhance public acceptance and help expedite project alternatives by avoiding any surprises during the process. By establishing lines of communication and an open dialogue, understanding and acceptance of the project will be promoted, allowing it to move forward. Public Involvement Tasks As outlined in the project scope, tasks to be included in the plan will include (at a minimum) the following: 1. Public Involvement Plan – CH2M will develop a comprehensive, project-specific Public Involvement Plan in accordance with the FDOT PD&E Manual and Collier County criteria. 2. Kick-Off Letter – Once the Public Involvement Task is complete, CH2M will prepare and mail a notification letter to local government and elected officials informing them that the project has started. 3. Mailing/Contact List – CH2M will develop and maintain/update a mailing list that shall be throughout the length of the study. This database shall include property owners within 300 ft. of the ROW, public officials, environmental agencies, local and regional transportation officials and home owner associations. Coordination with many public and private stakeholders will be required including but not limited to:  State Agencies: Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Florida Marine Fisheries Commission, Florida Department of State, Historic Preservation Office, Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission, South Florida Water Management District  Federal: Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, FEMA  Local: Collier County Planning/Transportation, Big Cypress Basin, Florida Power & Light, Collier County School Board, Collier County Emergency Management, Golden Gate Estates Civic Association, Conservation Collier Public advertisements will consist of a display advertisement published in the area newspaper with the largest circulation prior to each public meeting. The following newspaper agencies have been identified that cover the study area:  Bonita Daily News  Naples Daily News / Vista Semanal  Marco Island Eagle  Everglades Echo  Naples Net News  Southwest Florida Business  Florida Administrative Register (FAR)  News Press  Florida Weekly (Naples Edition) In addition, television and radio stations that cover the study area will be contacted and added to the mailing lists. 4. Unscheduled Meetings and Presentations – CH2M will be available to attend impromptu meetings (with minimal notice - 5 days). CH2M will have exhibits and materials updated and ready to meet with various groups and/or individuals as scheduled by the County. 5. Collect Public Input – CH2M will maintain project files which include letter correspondence, newsletters, comment cards, surveys, meeting minute’s etc. which document public involvement in the project study. These will be included in the Comments and Communication Report. 6. Identify and Inspect Public Meeting Site – CH2M will identify potential Public Meeting sites and coordinate with County staff (including Connie Deane/ Collier Community Liaison). Public schools are not allowed/recommended by the FDOT and Collier County. The most applicable site will be the:  UF/IFAS Collier Extension, Naples FL: 14700 Immokalee Road. There is a large meeting room that can be divided by sliding wall partitions The meeting rooms opened together can accommodate a 200 person theater style seating arrangement. Collier County holds many Public Meetings there. 7. Coordination Meetings with Local Officials – CH2M will prepare for and attend meetings with local officials approximately 2- weeks prior to the Public Meetings (See Project Schedule) to inform them of the project status and review alternatives. Any comments will be documented and included in the Comments and Coordination Report.  District School Board of Collier County  Collier County Emergency Medical Services (EMS)  Fire Districts of Collier County  Collier County Parks and Recreation Department  Collier County Planning Services Department  Collier County Public Utilities Division  Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization Technical & Citizens Advisory Committees  Local civic associations.

Public Meetings/Workshops - It will be important to strategically schedule the three (3) public information meetings to efficiently share information about the project. An informal public information meeting is conducted to accomplish two goals: First, to inform the public of proposed improvements and, second, to provide a forum for the public to provide the project team with their concerns and preferences. Public information meetings are typically conducted in two parts. First, there is a 3-hour session in which representatives of the design team and support staff answer questions and explain technical design issues. Displays and exhibits will be placed in a central location for public review during this time. Second, public input can be received through an open forum or by the public completing index cards with their comments. After the meeting, our team’s technical staff will respond to questions or comments from the public either by written or oral response. County staff will be properly briefed prior to Public Meetings to ensure an accurate, coordinated message is conveyed to public. Public Meeting No. 1 – Introduction to project, goals and timing  This meeting will make the community aware of the project intent and the willingness of the County to address public concerns during the study phase of the project.  Individual meetings, with the public and groups such as the Golden Gate Estates Area Civic Association will be scheduled as appropriate. Public Meeting No. 2 – Presentation of Alternatives An important part of this initiative is the development of workable alternatives, which could be presented at public information meetings to address public concerns about roadway impacts.  This meeting will convey to the community the various concepts/alternatives that are being considered along which each ones benefits and impacts.  This meeting will provide the community an opportunity to review and comment on the alternatives. Public Meeting No. 3 – Presentation of Conclusion of Study  This meeting will convey to the community the final concepts/alternatives that are being considered along which each ones benefits and impacts.  This meeting will provide the community an opportunity to review and provide comments on the final alternatives. CH2M has already assembled a comprehensive inventory of prints, pictures, slides, and aerial photographs in preparing this proposal which convey many aspects of this project. Note: There will be staff available who are fluent in Spanish to assist discussions with stake holders. Exhibits shown at the public meetings will consist of more than the standard colored-up plans, taking Having public involved early in the Study Project will help garner a positive public perception of the process. President of Golden Gate Estates Area Civic Association: Michael R Ramsey advantage of available computer graphic technology. Many of these exhibits are by-products of the conceptual design process. These exhibits will provide the public with a greater level of project understanding. Our team has extensive in-house resources to produce high-quality computer enhanced 3-D graphics that will help the public visualize the proposed roadway early in the study process. 9. Comments and Coordination Report – CH2M shall prepare and maintain a report which documents the public participation in the study process. 10. Newsletters – CH2M will prepare 3 Newsletters during the study which will be used to convey information to the stakeholders. Note: A newsletter from the Randall/Immokalee Intersection PD&E has been included below as an example for your review. 11. Website – CH2M will provide and update graphics, maps, newsletters etc. regarding the project which the County can upload to their website and keep the public informed of the project status/progress. A project web site is particularly suited to reaching a large, dispersed, interested public. Task C – Collection of Existing Data As shown by this proposal, CH2M did not wait until the “official” Notice to Proceed to begin Data Collection activities. We have already begun collecting the necessary data required for the planning, environmental and engineering tasks required for this study. We have reviewed all available planning documents and fully understand that the intent of this study. Based on the results of our preliminary data gathering efforts, CH2M has prepared the following exhibits for this proposal. Our Project Vicinity Map (found in this section) will be used in the project newsletters to familiarize project stakeholders with the study area and identifies project issues that will be encountered during the study. Our Project Area Experience and Understanding Map (found in this section), shows the overall project area along with proposed future projects/developments. The two (2) Right-of Way Parcel Map(s) (found at the end of this section) shows the current parcel and ROW configuration of the entire corridor study area. These two maps will allow the CH2M Team to immediately begin discussions with the County regarding project issues especially ROW issues which will have a significant impact on the project budget. The Typical Section Alternatives (included in this section), prepared for this proposal will also help the County focus on the typical section alternatives and their associated pros and cons. Traffic Data Collection / Modeling The ROW Maps along with detailed traffic model information (prepared during the study by Traf-O- Data), will help the project stakeholders determine the preferred typical section that will best meet the County’s traffic needs. To ensure accurate traffic data, the CH2M Team will be required to obtain traffic data such as 24-Hour Machine Counts and Classification Counts to supplement existing data and model the proposed roadway improvements and its effects on the surrounding roadway network.  Traffic forecasts will be based on the current adopted District 1 Regional Model (D1RPM).  A Sub-Area validation refinement will be performed on the D1RPM Base Year (2010) model for the study area.  Validation refinement adjustments made for the base year will be applied to the adopted D1RPM Cost Feasible model as appropriate. Example Newsletter from CH2M PD&E Study of Immokalee/ Randall Intersection for FDOT 1  2040 No-Build and Build alternatives will be modeled using the refined 2040 Cost Feasible model.  No-Build and Build forecast traffic will be developed for the study area based on the results of the 2040 model assignments. Traf-O-Data has done significant modeling in Collier County and is very familiar with the County transportation system. They will coordinate their efforts with the County’s consultant who will be updating the 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan. Structures The project can be characterized as “Major Widening” and will involve potential replacement of two existing prestressed slab Bridges over Golden Gate Canal (Br. 034048) and Faka Union Canal (Br. 034050). These bridges were constructed in 1965 and have a sufficiency rating of 93.3 (Br. 034048) & 76.5 (Br. 034050). The bridges are not currently posted but Br. 034048 has been designated as Functionally Obsolete. The corridor alternatives will have to consider variety of factors related to the potential bridge replacements, such as Phased Construction, MOT, Structure Depth requirements, Constructability, Hydraulics, Cost, Maintenance including Boat ramp access and Utility accommodations. CH2M designed similar bridge replacements on Oil Well Road over Golden Gate & Faka Union Canals and has first-hand knowledge of pile driving in the underlying layers of intermittent limestone, with variable hardness, requiring pre-drilling and careful attention to pile tip requirements to reach the bearing stratum of calcareous sandstone. CH2M will prepare Bridge Alternatives for the potential canal crossings which can be used to determine profile requirements and develop cost estimates. Utilities As part of this project a “One-Call” will be performed which will document all utilities within the Project Study Area that may be effected as part of the improvements. The utilities within the Project study Area are limited. Within the Golden Gate Estates area many residents are on well and septic systems. The Collier County Utilities only encroaches on the west side of the study area and runs along Oil Well Blvd for a short distance. The 6-Lane Design of Oil Well Blvd did however make provisions for future utilities. Orange Tree Utilities is located on Oil Well Road just west of Palmetto Ridge High School and services Orange Tree, Orange Blossom and Valencia within the project area. There are only a few well sites within the project area and Collier County Utility Department does not have any current plans to expand the well fields. Based on preliminary data collection, the following is a list of utility companies that will need to be coordinated with includes:  Collier County Utilities  American Traffic Solutions  Collier County Traffic Ops Sect Traffic Models will be updated to reflect alternatives Bridge 034050 Located on Randall across Fakaunion Canal. On some projects utility impacts have a tendency to skew the Alternatives Matrix, however the limited amount of utilities within the project area will not have a significant effect on any project alternative. Underground Conditions Minor Geotechnical Data activities will be performed. Hand augers at some locations may be warranted to determine the presence of muck or to validate Seasonal High Water elevations (if required). No Deep borings are anticipated for the corridor study. Our experience working next to canals on our Immokalee Road, Vanderbilt Beach Road and Collier Boulevard Projects has given us a unique understanding of what obstacles will be encountered during construction. Underground operations for drainage installation, light pole foundations, signal poles, structures and utilities will encounter lime-rock formations. Project alternative costs will consider the presence of lime-rock. Cultural Features The cultural features within the Project Study Area have been reviewed and a more detailed investigation will be performed during the study. Archeological and Historical The Phase 1 Archeological and Historical investigation will be performed by AHC as part of the study and results will be coordinated with Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources office. Educational Facilities  Corkscrew Elementary School  Corkscrew Middle School  Palmetto Ridge High School “Planned” Worship Facilities  Emmanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church Police Station  Collier County Sheriff Office (Oilwell Rd) Fire Station  North Collier Fire District Station No. 10 Hazardous Waste A Phase 1 Hazardous Waste Site Data Investigation (Level 1) will be performed. Forge Engineering will contact Environmental Data Resources , Inc. (EDR) to conduct a database search of the federal and state records within a 1 mile radius of the study area using databases such as the National Priorities List, Florida Site List, Facility Index System, Mines Master File Index, Underground Storage Tank Sites, and Aboveground Storage Tank Sites. Key Environmental Issues Based on our past experience, our team possesses insight into what will become key issues as the project progresses. Based on this knowledge, our experience with Collier County, and communications with the regulatory agencies, we believe the following to be the key environmental issues for the project:  Minimization of environmental impacts  Identification of Threatened and Endangered Species  Wetland avoidance/mitigation banking  Drainage design that can be permitted!  Collier County IT  Comcast  FPL Fibernet LLC  Florida Power & Light Distribution  Hotwire Communications  Summit Broadband Inc.  Orange Tree Utility  TECO Peoples Gas  CenturyLink Our project team was assembled specifically to address these issues. Minimization of Environmental Impacts An environmental assessment is required because of wetland impacts. Permitting agencies require that every reasonable step be taken to minimize wetland impacts. Potential pond sites will be evaluated forwetland as well as Threatened and Endangered Species impacts early in the design process to avoid issues that may delay the future design and construction of this project. A key strategy for obtaining permits in the future will be maintaining a high level of coordination with each permitting agency throughout the project. The goal to avoiding delays is to involve the decision makers—both clients and permitting agencies— from the beginning of the project. We have worked closely with state and federal reviewing agencies to develop accurate impact projections and ecologically realistic mitigation plans, including coordination with:  USFWS  Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission  Environmental Protection Agency We know that a Specific Species Survey will be required for this project and will coordinate with the appropriate agencies immediately upon Notice to Proceed. Threatened and Endangered Species CH2M has completed a preliminary review of the vegetation within the Project study Area and we understand the issues pertaining to the uplands, wetlands, and wildlife found along the corridor.Past experience on the Pine Ridge Road, Immokalee Road, Vanderbilt Beach Road, and four (4) Collier Boulevard widening projects will enable us to efficiently identify and coordinate the required permitting issues. Our team has extensive experience conducting listed species surveys and permitting for environmentally sensitive areas in the vicinity of this corridor study. The project corridor contains a mix of native upland and wetland vegetation communities that provide suitable habitat for state and federal listed species.  The area is located within the primary and secondary zones of the endangered Florida Panther Focus Area based on current U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) mapping. Panther radio telemetry data has been documented in the vicinity of the project.  The corridor is within the FWS Consultation Area of the federally endangered Florida bonneted bat and the intersection of Randall Boulevard and Desoto Boulevard is just ±450 feet northwest of the FWS Focal Area for this species. Potential natural and artificial roost structures for this species exist along the corridor and include foliage, tree cavities, bridges and buildings.  The proposed corridor is located within the FWS’ designated 18.6-mile Core Foraging Area (CFA) of a known wood stork colony (Colony # 619018) located in the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary.  The corridor is located within the FWS Consultation Area for the red-cockaded woodpecker (RCW), and approximately 9 miles northeast of a documented RCW colony.  Evaluation of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Bald Eagle Nest Locator indicates there is currently no known bald eagle nests located within 660’ of the corridor.  Suitable habitat exists along the Randall Blvd. corridor for the state threatened gopher tortoise and Big Cypress fox squirrel. Johnson Engineering, Inc. has observed the state threatened gopher tortoise as occurring along portions of the project corridor.  The federally threatened Eastern indigo snake is considered a commensal species of the gopher tortoise, occurs throughout peninsular Florida, and is known to utilize gopher tortoise burrows for protection from cold temperatures. The presence of gopher tortoises and suitable native habitats for this species along the corridor suggests a high likelihood that this species may occur in the vicinity. Listed species surveys will be required during project design and permitting to ensure that the corridor improvements do not adversely affect listed species. If impacts to listed species or their habitat is required for the proposed activities, coordination with state and federal wildlife agencies will be proposed roadway necessary to determine whether mitigation will be required. Should it become necessary to relocate listed species from the project corridor, appropriate permits will be obtained from the FWC and/or FWS. Wetland Mitigation Our team has many years of experience in developing mitigation plans for a variety of habitats, such as emergent, forested, and cypress/pine wetlands, and in evaluating mitigation banking alternatives. If desired by the County, CH2M can develop detailed plans addressing all aspects of mitigation, including location of mitigation areas; characterization of vegetation, soil, wildlife, and hydrology; presence of endangered and threatened species; and determination of the engineering modifications necessary to establish the desired vegetation complex. Mitigation banking or a suitable mitigation ratio will be considered to address wetland mitigation. Our team’s goal will be to balance the need to control project costs with the desire to minimize wetland impacts. Floodplains The CH2M Team has identified the floodplains within the Project Study Area (See FEMA GIS Map at the end of this section) along the corridor and will evaluate the proposed corridor impacts. Impacts to the 100-year floodplain will require equivalent mitigation. Drainage The drainage within the Project Study Area occurs within the Big Cypress Basin (BCB) Western Collier Watershed which drains an approximately 1,114 square-mile area through a large network of man- made canals and natural sloughs. The basin encompasses all of western Collier County, and small sections of Southern Lee, and Hendry Counties. The project corridor will cross sub-basins: Corkscrew Canal Basin, Orange Tree Canal Basin, Main Golden Gate Canal Basin, and Faka Union Canal Basin. Within the Project Study Area exists a system of drainage canals, which are considered part of the South Florida Water Management District - Big Cypress Basin (BCB). These canals were developed for various reasons including to handle stormwater runoff drain their prospective drainage sub-basins. These canals are interconnected either directly or indirectly with the water level in the canals maintained by means of control gates and structures located in strategic locations within the canals system. The drainage canals located within the proposed study Area include:  Corkscrew Canal (far west end of project area)  Orange Tree Canal  Main Golden Gate Canal (Control Structure Golden Gate 5)  Faka Union Canal The Corkscrew Canal is approximately 6 miles long and drains the Corkscrew sub-basin, which encompasses an approximate drainage area of 19 Water Control Structure – Golden Gate #5 across the Golden Gate Main Canal. square miles. The water flows in a southerly direction where it joins the Cypress Canal. The Orange Tree Canal is over 2 miles long and drains the Orange Tree sub-basin, which encompasses an approximate drainage area of 6 square miles. The water flows in the canal in a southerly direction where it joins the Cypress Canal. The Main Golden Gate Canal was developed to drain the land for residential purposes and it is approximately 27 miles in length. It drains an area of about 108 square miles with a principal land use composed of agriculture, residential estates, urban residential and commercial. The water flows in the canal is generally to the south and southwest direction with an ultimate outfall to the Gulf. The Faka Union Canal is approximately 29.5 miles in length and drains the Faka Union drainage sub- basin, which encompasses about 185 square miles of drainage area. The water flow in the canal is generally to the south with an ultimate outlet into the Everglades. These canals were originally developed to control the water elevation within the surrounding sub-basins and to obtain fill materials for construction projects. The control of the water level within the canals system is achieved by using control gates and structures. The improvements recommended as part of the Randall Boulevard Corridor Study will require future permitting from the SFWMD. The permitting criteria require the stormwater runoff to be conveyed, treated and attenuated prior to eventual discharge. This can be attained through the use of ponds and or lateral drainage ditches. The size of the stormwater ponds will be dictated to a large extent by the tail water elevations in the receiving canals. Due to the adjacent presence of the many canals, positive discharge from the ponds will be easily achieved. Based on preliminary evaluation of the corridor and the drainage scheme, either stormwater ponds or lateral drainage ditches may be used to meet the SFWMD permitting criteria. Lateral drainage ditches may be a viable alternative to the stormwater ponds depending on the final corridor alignment and will save construction costs by providing open swale conveyance as opposed to a closed drainage trunk line. However, recent projects permitted with SFWMD utilized a combination of dry and wet detention to meet criteria. In addition to the SFWMD permitting criteria, Collier County’s discharge criteria must be considered although allowances are made for road projects. The Project Study area and potential roadway improvements are divided into eight distinct drainage basins (See Drainage Basin Map).  Basin 1 will extend along Randall Blvd. between Immokalee Road to 8th Street Northeast and will drain west into the Corkscrew Canal.  Basin 2 will extend along Randall Blvd. between the limits of 8th Street Northeast to the Orange Tree Canal and will drain east into the Orange Tree Canal.  Basin 3 will extend along Randall Blvd. between the Orange Tree Canal and 16th Street Northeast. It will drain west into the Orange Tree Canal.  Basin 4 will extend along Randall Blvd. from 16th Street Northeast to the Golden Gate Main Canal. It will also contain a segment leading to Basin 4a (the S-Connector) and will drain east into the Golden Gate Main Canal.  Basin 4A will connect Randall Blvd. to Oil Well Road and will drain west into the Golden Gate Main Canal.  Basin 5 will extend along Randall Blvd. from the Golden Gate Main Canal to Everglades Blvd. and drain west into the Golden Gate Main Canal.  Basin 6 will extend along Randall Blvd. between the limits of Everglades Blvd. to the Faka Union Canal. Basin 6 will drain east into the Faka Union Canal.  Basin 7 will extend along Randall Blvd. between the Faka Union Canal and Desoto Blvd. It will drain west into the Faka Union Canal. Task D – Existing Conditions Analysis Early in the study process, the CH2M Team will perform an existing conditions analysis to determine the overall level of service of the roadway “network” in this area. Following FDOT Criteria and procedures, we will establish Existing Traffic including directional distribution and peak hour factors. We will then determine AADT Volumes, taking into consideration compiled and evaluated will be included in the Existing Conditions Analysis Report. Traf –O-Data will lead this effort based on their experience within Collier County. Access management is essential to the planning of any widening project or new arterial roadway. Placement of median cuts and the determination of new driveway access points are necessary to maximize safety and improve roadway circulation and capacity. Maintaining current access to adjacent businesses, residences, and local developments, and incorporating a plan for future access that enhances circulation and minimizes the amount of left turn access points will be evaluated during the study. Developers and property owners are continuously developing the ROW. A definitive access management plan, documented during the study and updated regularly during the future design, will establish the parameters required for adjacent development. We will coordinate this activity with County staff. Gaining public acceptance for the project requires keeping the public informed on how access to adjacent properties will be managed. Task E – Corridor Analysis and Ranking Once all pertinent data, physical as well as public input, has been collected and evaluated, the CH2M Team will prepare preliminary typical sections and alignments for evaluation. We have included examples (at the end Tab 3 of two previously prepared alternatives matrices (one bridge, one alignment study) to show the County that our Team understands the process and have done this exact type of corridor analysis before for Collier County and many other Florida clients. It is important to determine the ranking criteria early in the process and have acceptance from project stakeholders. Second guessing the criteria after the alternatives have been developed will potentially taint the results and lead to project delays. In addition, obtaining public input throughout the study will eliminate the need to rework the plans during later design phases. Traffic volumes will be prepared and utilized for this project. The Typical Section selected for the required capacity improvements will have an effect on the corridor impacts and therefore must be finalized as early as possible in the process. The attached exhibits we have included show a variety of possible typical sections for evaluation. Once the future traffic demands are determined, the lane configuration will become apparent and discussions with the County regarding variations of the preferred typical section can begin immediately. The ROW impacts of this type of project will have a considerable effect on the budget. The two (2) ROW Parcel Maps at the end of this section that we have developed shows vacant and developed parcels along potential alignments. We will work with Collier County ROW Department to determine potential ROW costs accurately. Once again, a matrix that does not contain the correct data will not produce the correct result. The initial Alternatives Matrix will contain all the required elements that were established early in the study process and will be flexible to accommodate change that is sure to occur over the course of the study. Evaluations of the alternative corridors will consider Environmental Issues (T&E, Wetlands, Contamination Sites, Historical Sites), Safety/LOS (provisions for safety, pedestrian facilities, bicycle facilities, provisions for commuters, overall LOS), Socio-Economic (residential relocations, commercial relocations, residential property impacts, commercial impacts, vacant land impacts), Construction Cost, Right-of- Way Impact Costs, Environmental Impact Costs (wetland mitigation, floodplain compensation), Stormwater Ponds (retention/detention ponds), Utility Impacts and Maintenance of Traffic. Other potential elements for evaluation will be discussed with the County early in the study process. Preliminary Right-of-Way Analysis CH2M has extensive experience in assessing right-of- way requirements for transportation projects. Environmental Impact Statements (EIS), PD&E studies, and preliminary design all require analysis and determination of preliminary right-of-way requirements for the facility under study. Besides the basic corridor improvements, the project will also require preliminary analysis of right-of-way for intersection improvements, pedestrian or bike facilities, drainage facilities, roadside safety improvements, or to correct deficient stopping line- of-sight conditions. CH2M has been involved with hundreds of ROW acquisitions over the last 15 years. Early determination of ROW needs will minimize project costs and expedite the project schedule. We recommend an initial project meeting be held once the County has authorized work to proceed. At this meeting, appropriate County staff and CH2M team members will establish clear lines of communication that will remain in place throughout the project. Regularly scheduled project review meetings will be held to ensure project success. Prior to starting work, our staff will perform a detailed analysis, focusing on:  Technical approach  Environmental impacts/regulatory requirements  Schedule requirements  Operational requirements Development of Project Cost Estimates CH2M routinely develops project cost estimates for our transportation projects from the feasibility/concept phases through final design. As a multi-disciplinary firm we have cost data for many public facilities such as roadways and vehicle or pedestrian bridges. For alternative transportation or transportation enhancement projects, we have extensive experience in the preparation of estimated project costs. These projects include roadways, bridges, utilities, bicycle facilities, pedestrian trails, transit feature, mitigation costs and ROW costs. Our recent project experience on other Collier County projects gives insight into local cost factors. The challenge in the conceptual or planning stages of a project is to develop project costs before much if any hard engineering has been completed. To address this problem, CH2M has developed tools that can produce quick, and relatively accurate and detailed cost estimates at the conceptual stage of a project, before much if any design work has been done. The estimating tools contain many mini- models or cost models of facilities that are based on real projects. Our project estimators have provided cost estimating services on over $400 million worth of Collier County roadway and facilities projects. This has allowed the Collier County Engineering and Facilities Department to pro-actively manage their budget with a better degree of certainty. Task F – Executive Summary The data collected for this corridor study will be significant and, therefore, an Executive Summary will be prepared to condense the information and present it to all project stakeholders in a clear, easy to understand format. As shown by the attached exhibits, CH2M has extensive capabilities to provide first rate graphics which are simple to explain and clearly convey the project issues. CH2M has extensive ROW analysis experience in Collier County. Task G – Project Management and Coordination The study must be well-coordinated from the start. Coordination of the study tasks effort with Collier County officials, SFWMD, Big Cypress Basin, concerned regulatory agencies, utilities, developers and the public is essential for a successful project. Effective project coordination is the key to avoiding delays and completing the project within the specified 15-month timeframe. To address the coordination issues on the project, the CH2M Team has assembled a team of professionals who are familiar with the County’s roadways, operations, and preferred methods of project delivery. These members have been involved with the preparation of this proposal and will promote teamwork and consensus as the project moves forward. Since all key project issues are interrelated, it is important to coordinate the development of workable solutions to address all study elements, including interface between the CH2M Team, Collier County, adjacent projects, affected utilities, permitting agencies, and the public. Coordination for this project will consist of the following three components:  Effective communication to inform stakeholders of project status  Effective and accurate record keeping and filing  Effective evaluation and project planning Our team will maintain a proven comprehensive communication, documentation, and coordination system for the project. Close, continual coordination of study activities will be key to completing the project within the schedule. Coordination among the following parties will be emphasized:  Coordination with Collier County’s Project Manager  Coordination with agencies (SFWMD, BCB), officials (BOCC), businesses, and residents  Coordination among project team members Tara Jones, CH2M’s project manager, will serve as the single point of contact between the project team and the County’s project manager – Lorraine Lantz. Tara has worked on many projects for Collier County along with Deputy Project Manager Adam Ahmad and Engineering lead Bill Gramer. Tara is the project Manager for the FDOT 1 Randall/Immokalee PD&E Study which is currently “On-Hold” pending the results of the Randall Corridor Study. CH2M has assigned a Deputy Project Manager for this project to ensure responsiveness especially when unscheduled meetings occur. Tara will keep Lorraine informed about all important project matters. Tara will provide Lorraine with a monthly progress report showing the following types of information:  Summary of activities conducted during the reporting month  Schedule update based on our Microsoft project schedule  Identification of problem issues and proposed resolution  Project activities schedule for upcoming month  Coordination with agencies, officials, and other groups Proper coordination is critical between the study team and other agencies, such as utility companies, Collier County departments and state permitting agencies. The timely gathering, exchange, and distribution of project information is essential for the planning team to effectively complete their respective tasks. CH2M will serve as the catalyst for effective communication and coordination between all affected stakeholders. Coordination with Project Team Members Tara Jones will conduct Monday morning weekly coordination meetings with all team members to discuss weekly progress, key planning issues and current staffing requirements, and to facilitate the monitoring and tracking of project progress. A typical agenda for these meetings consists of the following topics:  General project information updates  Review of action items from previous week  Schedule/budget updates by each task manager  Study activities completed during previous week  Study activities to be conducted during current week  One-month look-ahead schedule  Identification of problem issues or scope changes  Action item assignments  Current and projected staffing needs Task H – Study Documentation CH2M understands that the following documents will be prepared as part of this study:  Public Involvement Plan  Existing Data Report  Existing Conditions Report  Corridor Alternatives Analysis and Ranking Report  Comments and Coordination Report  Executive Summary All project data obtained or developed during the execution of this Study must be organized in such a way that it is easily transferable to Collier County. CH2M will utilize Word, Excel and PDF formats to develop and transfer reports and information to the county. As with all products that CH2M produces and delivers to our clients, these reports will be accurate, complete and professionally presented. Samples of previously prepared plans for both large and small projects are available for review by the County and the format can be used as a starting point in developing reports for the Randall Boulevard Corridor Study. We will not reinvent the wheel for this project thereby delaying the project schedule. We routinely perform PD&E services on projects similar to this throughout Florida. In fact our QA/QC Manager, Mark Callahan, has taught the PD&E module for FDOT. In addition to the exhibits included within the text above;  Project Vicinity Map  Project Area Experience And Understanding Map  Detailed Project Schedule (2 Pages)  Right of Way Parcel Impacts Map (2 Pages)  PD&E Process Flow Chart  Typical Section Alternatives The CH2M Team has prepared the following Exhibits which will be helpful to the Corridor Study and demonstrate our commitment to this projects success!  Drainage Basin Exhibit  Soils Map (GIS)  Land Use Map (GIS)  Wetlands Map (GIS)  Watershed Map (GIS)  Threatened and Endangered Species Map (GIS)  FEMA (GIS) Based on this data gathered and exhibit prepared, preliminary analysis and comprehensive project discussions can begin at the Notice to Proceed Meeting, thus advancing the Project Schedule. Project Management and Oversight The CH2M team realizes that the key to success in managing contracts is the ability to tailor the management style and staff to meet the unique requirements of each project. Our extensive experience with similar contracts will ensure that Collier County is provided with the flexible, adaptable service appropriate for each project. On every project performed by CH2M, our goal is to provide you with management, reporting, and communication appropriate for each assignment. Coordination of the project team members’ efforts will be accomplished through regular staff meetings and frequent action item reports to show the actions required of all parties. Direct electronic communication, including e-mail, fax, and voice mail, will be used to conduct project business and keep all parties informed. As the project progresses, technical memoranda or progress reports will be submitted to the County for review. The use of technical memoranda and progress reports has proven to be effective in achieving an orderly flow of project work. This proactive approach also provides team members with concise, detailed design data and the ability to track the record of decisions made, thus ensuring that the project is completed as desired. Fee Proposal Preparation Once the details of the project scope are clarified and, if appropriate, a site visit is made, a fee proposal will be finalized. In general, the proposal will include a project definition, scope of requested services, fee information, and a schedule of deliverables and delivery dates. During proposal development, the team will begin to formulate a work plan. During this process, any external resources needed by the team will be identified. Work Plan Upon acceptance of the proposal and notice to proceed, the work plan will be finalized. Planning is crucial to the success of the project. A good work plan defines all team member roles and responsibilities. It also describes how the knowledge and skills of the project team will be used to meet or exceed the project requirements. The work plan is a powerful tool for creating a high-quality project and achieving the County’s satisfaction. Development of the work plan is essential because it contains the team’s “marching orders,” helping the team members to work together efficiently. Effective instruction in the work plan eliminates cost overruns, schedule slippages, and ineffective personnel assignments, promoting the quality results mandated by CH2M. The essential elements of a work plan will answer the following questions:  What needs to be done?  Who will do the work?  What equipment will be needed?  When will the work be done?  How much will the work cost?  How will the work be done?  How will quality be ensured?  How will the client be kept satisfied?  How will changes be managed?  How will the project be closed? Management Plan An Accessible Project Organization Ensures Effective Project Communications Coordination of the CH2M project team with County staff must be consistent and continuous to accomplish the County’s project delivery goals. Our project manager and task leaders understand the level of accessibility and responsiveness the County expects through our previous project experience. CH2M has proven successful Work Plans on previous projects Incorporating Input from County Staff A systematic approach is used for measuring, analyzing, and reporting the County’s satisfaction with regard to our services. The County’s perspective in continually factored into the quality improvement process. The CH2M Team is well known in Collier County for its proactive communication style, and its ability to manage and deliver quality projects on time and within budget. Communications with Collier County staff on this project, as with our existing projects, will be continuous. Direction will be considered “official” only when in written format (e- mail, memo, letter) to avoid misinterpretations. CH2M values Collier County’s input and will use a workshop approach (design charrette) where appropriate to obtain your comments throughout the contract. Workshops, similar to those held on all projects and task assignments, will be held at project kick-off and at task milestones. Our goal is to provide effective communication of arising project challenges and our recommended solutions. Comments will be documented and responded to at all milestones as well as during the design process. County comments will be collected and responded to in a timely manner by means of a formatted report. Outstanding issues will be discussed and resolution will documented within that report as final. Early and frequent coordination with the County and other stakeholders will help identify issues and concerns that need to be resolved early in the project. Also, the workshops and constant communication will ensure that neither time nor money is wasted pursuing inappropriate alternatives. A Thorough Understanding of County Processes Ensures Efficient, Effective Project Delivery From CH2M’s experience delivering task orders and projects for the County, we have an excellent understanding of the organization, departments and individuals involved in the project delivery process. We are thoroughly familiar with both the RFP and work order processes for the assignment of work, and have worked with numerous County project managers in developing scopes of work and then delivering their projects. Our experience working with the County will expedite the contracting process and result in finished projects that comply with all of the County’s standards. Project Schedule Schedule monitoring for these projects generally will consist of reviewing two separate schedules: the target (or control) schedule shown previously in this Tab and the working schedule. The target schedule is the baseline schedule established at the beginning of the project. Approved changes will be the only basis for changing the target schedule. Recognizing that actual performance will never exactly match the original plan, a working schedule will be maintained that documents performance to date and predicts future events. Tara Jones, P.E., our project manager, and her task leaders will focus on coordinating project activities. Changes will inevitably occur during the course of a project that will affect the schedule. When this happens, Tara will work with County staff so that the change is managed, with the least possible impact on project schedule and budget. Good schedule control means expediting completion of the project. We will conduct meetings with the team on a regular basis to remain abreast of key project milestones or any arising project challenges. As part of the weekly meeting process, we will monitor the status of each task’s progress to avoid time-consuming re-work. We also will meet with each subconsultant bi-weekly to review the as- planned schedule and for a “look-ahead” review to ensure that the team stays on track. Cost Control The project descriptions presented in Tab 3, Capacity of Firm, document the CH2M team’s ability to successfully deliver projects similar to this contract. The CH2M Team is committed to meeting the CH2M’s Naples office is minutes away from Collier County staff and can accommodate any needs County’s schedule within budget. We will focus on two areas that are critical in providing cost control: on-time decision making and top-quality, committed project staffing. To ensure on-time decision making, the CH2M team will conduct task-specific workshops with County staff to identify viable alternatives. A variety of tools and techniques will assist in establishing cost estimates and in refining those estimates as design proceeds. Specific strategies the team will implement to speed completion of these projects include:  Use of raster aerial photography to speed development and review of alternatives. Raster base maps produce high quality graphics for public meetings and reduce costs.  Early integration of the County staff into the processes, allowing the team to evaluate potential ROW needs from the start, reducing late changes.  Quality control, spearheaded by QA/QC team member Mark Callahan, to provide input throughout the project. Mark will review all documents as they are produced to reduce unnecessary re-work.  Weekly team meetings to discuss tasks requiring additional manpower, items ready for quality review, and the most efficient approaches to upcoming work tasks.  Close and early coordination with project stakeholders. Approach for Controlling Budget and Schedule The CH2M team will apply project controls for tracking time, money, and budget that have proven successful on previous “Corridor Study” projects. These project controls, listed below, will ensure that schedule and budget are adhered to and standards for quality met throughout the duration of this project:  Project schedule development and oversight  Measures of performance  Estimating and cost control  Change order tracking requests for information/ clarification  Progress reporting  Coordination meetings  Value engineering/constructability review An Integrated Team Approach Ensures Effective Project Communications Coordination of the CH2M project team with Collier County staff must be consistent and continuous to accomplish the County’s project delivery goals. Our project manager and task leaders understand the level of accessibility and responsiveness the County expects through our previous experience. CH2M will apply proven methods for successfully managing people and resources. These methods, briefly described below help our team meet all of your goals for technical excellence, budget, and schedule. Quality Control (QC) QC is inherent in our team’s project management approach. Communication between our team and Collier County is essential to this approach because it establishes project goals and standards for performance early in the project. As part of its QC program, CH2M assigns senior reviewers who are independent of the project and have the experience to provide concentrated, rigorous reviews throughout the project. Formal QC reviews are performed prior to Draft and Final Deliverables. These reviews concentrate on issues of consistency, completeness, clarity, coordination, constructability (when applicable), and cost- effectiveness. Quality Improvement Program CH2M has a firmwide QIP that is based on the principles of total quality management. These following principles will help us deliver services that are tailored to the County’s needs:  Quality is defined by the customer.  Build quality in, rather than fixing it at the end.  All members of management and staff are committed to delivering quality.  Continual improvements are made to our processes by those doing the work. To implement these principles, our QIP for Collier County includes the following features: Client Feedback. A systematic approach is used for measuring, analyzing, and reporting the County’s satisfaction with regard to our services. The County’s perspective is continually factored into the quality improvement process. Education Plan. All employees are trained in quality improvement. Specific training is given to team leaders who facilitate the continuous quality improvement process. Measurement and Reporting. We measure our performance so we can determine our quality improvement progress. Quality Assurance Program While quality improvement is a continuous process, we also have specific policies in place that assure quality on a firm-wide basis. Our firm-wide QAP establishes project-related policies, procedures, standards, training, and guidelines to check that our services and work products meet or exceed the County’s and other clients’ expectations. Our QAP consists of a four-step process: Plan, do, check, and act.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE I-75/Pine Ridge Road Interchange Sidewalk Feasibility Study, Collier County, Florida – Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization. A continuous sidewalk currently exists on the north side of Pine Ridge Road and extends from west of Whippoorwill Lane to east of Napa Boulevard. On the south side of Pine Ridge Road, a sidewalk exists to the west of Whippoorwill Lane and to the east of Napa Boulevard; however, there is no sidewalk located between these two roadways (including within the interchange area). The purpose of the I-75/Pine Ridge Road Interchange Sidewalk Feasibility Study was to evaluate the feasibility (i.e. costs and impacts) of providing a sidewalk on the south side of Pine Ridge Road through the I-75 interchange and to recommend safety improvements for the existing sidewalk on the north side of Pine Ridge Road. Mr. Fleming served as Project Engineer for this study which was conducted under a Collier MPO General Planning Services contract. An inventory of all existing light poles, signal poles, signs, utility pull boxes and drainage structures was conducted along the south side of the corridor and existing pedestrian features were identified on the north side of the corridor which included crosswalk markings, pedestrian signals and warning signs. A 1” = 100’ scale preliminary sidewalk concept was developed and overlaid onto recent aerial photography. The concept drawing identified the locations of 64 physical features that would need to be modified or relocated in order to construct the sidewalk at the back of curb. The concept drawing also included recommended pedestrian safety features, as well as the existing right-of-way based on information from the Collier County Property Appraiser’s website. A preliminary construction/implementation cost estimate was developed for the proposed sidewalk concept. I-75 at Immokalee Road Pathway Feasibility and Design Study, Naples, Florida – Collier County. The objective of this project was to conduct a feasibility study, then prepare construction plans for a pedestrian and bicycle pathway at the I-75 and Immokalee Road Interchange (FDOT Project #416237- 1-38-01) in compliance with local agency program requirements. The study explored alternatives for a sidewalk and bicycle pathway along the north side of Immokalee Road from Northbrooke Drive to Livingston Road, including crossing under I-75. The proposed pathway will enhance connectivity and improve safety for the people living and working along Immokalee Road. The scope of work for the feasibility study included preparing three alternative pathway concepts, Erik Fleming, PE Senior Project Engineer developing preliminary construction cost estimates, surveying, and evaluating the potential environmental effects to wetlands, listed species, contamination, and public involvement. The design phase of the project achieved final construction plans for the pathway. As Lead Engineer, Mr. Fleming developed typical sections, concepts and cost estimates. East/West Corridor Improvement Feasibility Study, Lee County, Florida – City of Cape Coral. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of implementing a controlled access facility between Burnt Store Road and US 41 along the Diplomat Parkway and Kismet Parkway/Littleton Road corridors. These existing roadways are four-lane divided roadways with grass medians that do not have paved shoulders or bicycle lanes. The two study corridors were divided into four segments and four-lane divided controlled access typical sections were developed for each segment. The typical section widths were overlaid onto existing aerial photography to quantify the number of parcels impacted, the number of relocations, and the number of utility poles impacted in each of the four segments for both corridors. Preliminary right-of-way acquisition cost estimates were developed for each of the corridor segments based on the assessed land values obtained from the Lee County Property Appraiser’s website. Preliminary roadway and bridge construction cost estimates were also developed for each of the corridor segments. The Lee County MPO’s Year 2035 Financially Feasible Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) travel demand model was also used to evaluate the impact that the implementation of a controlled access roadway would have on future year travel demand in the study corridors. Mr. Fleming served as Project Engineer for this study and was responsible for the development of the typical sections, controlled-access roadway concepts and preliminary cost estimates.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE Collier County Master Mobility Plan – Phase 2, Collier County, Florida – Collier County. Mr. Root served as AIM’s Project Manager for Phase 2 of Collier County’s Master Mobility Plan study. The goal of this study was to determine the optimal highway network for accommodating the daily travel demand expected to occur in the County as a result of the projected ultimate build-out land use scenario. The Collier MPO’s travel demand model was used in combination with the build-out land use data that was developed previously during the Collier County Horizon Study Update to obtain estimates of build-out daily traffic volumes, volume-to-capacity ratios for roadway segments, vehicle- miles of travel and vehicle-hours of travel. Several additional travel demand model runs were conducted to test the impact of alternative land use development scenarios (in the Rural Lands Stewardship Area and Golden Gate Estates area) on vehicle-miles of travel and vehicle-hours of travel. The travel demand model output was presented to the Master Mobility Plan stakeholders at several public workshops that were held by the County during the development of the Final Master Mobility Plan. Hancock Bridge Parkway Extension/Pondella Road Widening Study, Lee County, Florida – Lee County. Transportation Task Manager on this study which evaluated the feasibility of extending Hancock Bridge Parkway from US 41 to US Business 41 along with the widening of Pondella Road, also between US 41 and US Business 41. Three conceptual design alternatives were developed for the Hancock Bridge Parkway extension and two conceptual design alternatives were developed for the Pondella Road widening. These concepts were subsequently refined to minimize impacts to adjacent properties. An access management plan was also developed for the Pondella Road corridor to illustrate how the existing non-restrictive five-lane typical section could be converted to a restrictive six-lane typical section. Mr. Root was responsible for the existing conditions traffic analysis, travel demand forecasting, and future year peak hour traffic analysis. I-75/Everglades Boulevard Interchange Justification Study, Collier County, Florida – Collier County. Project Manager for this study which evaluated the need for a new interchange on I-75 at, or in the vicinity of, Everglades Greg Root Transportation Planning Manager Boulevard. This study included the analysis of existing traffic conditions, development of future year traffic volumes, analysis of future year traffic operations with and without a new interchange, development and evaluation of alternative interchange concepts, and the preparation of the Interchange Justification Report. The study area boundaries included I-75 (on the south and west), SR 29 (on the east) and Immokalee Road/Oil Well Road (on the north). Mr. Root was also the author of the Interchange Justification Report. I-75/Pine Ridge Road Interchange Sidewalk Feasibility Study, Collier County, Florida. A continuous sidewalk runs on the north side of Pine Ridge Road and extends from west of Whippoorwill Lane to east of Napa Boulevard. On the south side of Pine Ridge Road, a sidewalk runs west of Whippoorwill Lane and to the east of Napa Boulevard; however, there was no sidewalk located between these two roadways (including within the interchange area). The purpose of the I-75/Pine Ridge Road Interchange Sidewalk Feasibility Study was to evaluate the feasibility (i.e. costs and impacts) of providing a sidewalk on the south side of Pine Ridge Road through the I-75 interchange and to recommend safety improvements for the existing sidewalk on the north side of Pine Ridge Road. Mr. Root served as Project Manager for this study and was the primary author of the Feasibility Study Technical Memorandum. East/West Corridor Improvement Feasibility Study, Lee County, Florida – City of Cape Coral. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of implementing a controlled access facility between Burnt Store Road and US 41 along the Diplomat Parkway and Kismet Parkway/Littleton Road corridors. These existing roadways are four-lane divided roadways with grass medians that do not have paved shoulders or bicycle lanes. The two study corridors were divided into four segments and four-lane divided controlled access typical sections were developed for each segment. The typical section widths were overlaid onto existing aerial photography to quantify the number of parcels impacted, the number of relocations, and the number of utility poles impacted in each of the four segments for both corridors. Preliminary right-of-way acquisition cost estimates were developed for each of the corridor segments based on the assessed land values obtained from the Lee County Property Appraiser’s website. Preliminary roadway and bridge construction cost estimates were also developed for each of the corridor segments. The controlled access conceptual alternatives were subsequently developed for both corridors. This involved determining the specific locations for the frontage roads, median openings and local street modifications (e.g., cul-de-sacs, realignments, new connections). Modifications were made to the roadway alignments in an attempt to avoid or minimize impacts to individual parcels. The preliminary estimates of impacts and costs were revised based on the refined conceptual alternatives. The Lee County MPO’s Year 2035 Financially Feasible Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) travel demand model was also used to evaluate the impact that the implementation of a controlled access roadway would have on future year travel demand in the study corridors. A preliminary roadway segment level of service analysis was also conducted for Kismet Parkway/Littleton Road and Diplomat Parkway based on the 2035 Annual Average Daily traffic (AADT) volumes using maximum daily level of service volumes derived from values contained in the Florida Department of Transportation’s Quality/Level of Service Handbook. Mr. Root served as Project Manager and was the primary author of the Final Feasibility Study Report. Collier MPO 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan Minor Update, Collier County, Florida – Collier MPO. Mr. Root served as Project Manager for the travel demand modeling component of the minor update to the Collier MPO’s 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan. Alternative transportation networks were modeled and estimates of the 2035 daily traffic volumes, roadway segment volume-to-capacity ratios and levels of service were obtained. This information was provided to the Collier MPO and used to update both the 2035 Needs Plan as well as the 2035 Financially Feasible Long Range Transportation Plan. Wilson Boulevard Extension/Benfield Road Corridor Study, Collier County, Florida – Collier County. Senior Technical Reviewer responsible for conducting an independent peer review of the Existing Conditions Report and the Traffic Technical Memorandum. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the need, feasibility, impacts, and cost of a new north-south arterial east of CR 951, connecting US 41 to Golden Gate Boulevard. The corridor study included an integrated assessment of the 140- square mile study area by engineers, planners, environmental scientists, and public involvement specialists. The overall objective was to identify transportation solutions that will help the area’s roadway network maintain an appropriate level of service while accommodating approved and anticipated development in eastern Collier County.

Prior to the Selection Committee reviewing proposals, the following methodology will be applied to each Consultant’s information provided in this area:  The County will total each of the Consultant’s five reference questionnaires and create a ranking from highest number of points to lowest number of points. References marked with an N/A (or similar notation will be given the score of zero (0)). Consultants who do not turn in reference forms will be counted as zero (0).  The greatest number of points allowed in this criterion will be awarded to the Consultant who has the highest score.  The next highest Consultant’s number of points will be divided by the highest Consultant’s points which will then be multiplied by criteria points to determine the Consultant’s points awarded. Each subsequent Consultant’s point score will be calculated in the same manner.  Points awarded will be extended to the whole number per Microsoft Excel. For illustrative purposes only, see chart for an example of how these points would be distributed among the five proposers.

However, the Procurement Director, or designee, reserves the right to accept proposals received after the posted close time under the following conditions:  The tardy submission of the proposal is due to the following circumstances, which may include but not be limited to: late delivery by commercial carrier such as Fed Ex, UPS or courier where delivery was scheduled before the deadline.  The acceptance of said proposal does not afford any competing firm an unfair advantage in the selection process. Consultants must submit one (1) paper copy clearly labeled “Master,” and six (6) compact disks (CD’s) with one copy of the proposal on each CD in Word, Excel or PDF. List the Solicitation Number and Title on the outside of the box or envelope. 7.

All proposals shall be valid for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the submission date to accommodate evaluation and selection process. 8. Method of Source Selection The County is using the Competitive Sealed Proposals methodology of source selection for this procurement, as authorized by Ordinance Number 2013-69 establishing and adopting the Collier County Purchasing Policy. If the County receives proposals from less than three (3) firms, the Procurement Director shall review all the facts and determine if it is in the best interest of the County to solicit additional proposals or request that the Selection Committee rank order the received proposals. The County may, as it deems necessary, conduct discussions with qualified Consultants determined to be in contention for being selected for award for the purpose of clarification to assure full understanding of, and responsiveness to solicitation requirements. 9. Evaluation of Proposals Collier County will evaluate and select these Services in accordance with Florida Statute 287.055, Consultants’ Competitive Negotiation Act. RFP CCNA Template_01202016 16-6617 – Randall Boulevard Corridor Study 11 The County’s procedure for selecting is as follows: 1. The County Manager or designee shall appoint a selection committee to review all proposals submitted. 2. The Request for Proposal is issued. 3. Subsequent to the receipt closing date for the proposals, the Procurement professional will review the proposals received and verify each proposal to determine if it minimally responds to the requirements of the published RFP. 4. Selection committee meetings will be open to the public and the Procurement professional will publicly post prior notice of such meeting(s) in the lobby of the Purchasing Building and on the County’s Procurement Services Internet site. 5. Prior to the first meeting (Organization Meeting) of the selection committee, the Procurement professional will post a notice announcing the date, time and place of the meeting at least three (3) working days prior to the meeting. At the initial organization meeting, the selection committee members will receive instructions, the submitted proposals, and establish the next selection committee meeting date and time. After the first meeting, the Procurement professional will publically announce all subsequent committee meeting dates and times. The subsequent meeting dates and times will be posted with at least one (1) day advanced notice. 6. Selection committee members will independently review and score each proposal based on the evaluation criteria stated in the request for proposal using the Individual Selection Committee Score and Rank Form and prepare comments for discussion at the next meeting. The Individual Selection Committee Score and Rank Form is merely a tool to assist the selection committee member in their review of the proposals. 7. At the scheduled selection meeting, the members will present their independent findings / conclusions / comments based on their reading and interpretation of the materials presented to each other, and may ask questions of one another. At the conclusion of that discussion, members of the public will be offered an opportunity (not to exceed three (3) minutes) to provide comments. 8. At the conclusion of public comments (provided for in number 7), the selection committee members will individually rank order each proposer. Collier County selection committee members may consider all the material submitted by the Proposer and other information Collier County may obtain to determine whether the Proposer is capable of and has a history of successfully completing projects of this type, including, without limitation, additional information Collier County may request, clarification of proposer information, public comments, and/or additional credit information. 9. Once the individual ranking has been completed, the Procurement professional will direct selection committee members to read their individual ranking publically. The Procurement professional will record individual rankings on the Final Ranking Sheet which will mathematically compile into an overall selection committee rank of proposers. 10. In any of the selection committee meeting deliberations, by consensus, members may request to invite proposers in to clarify their proposals, ask for additional information, present materials, interview, ask questions, etc. The members may consider any and all information obtained through this method in formulating their RFP CCNA Template_01202016 16-6617 – Randall Boulevard Corridor Study 12 individual ranking and subsequent selection committee overall ranking and final ranking. 11. The selection committee’s overall rank of firms in order of preference (from highest beginning with a rank of one (1) to the lowest) will be discussed and reviewed by the Procurement Strategist. By final consensus, and having used all information presented (proposal, presentation, references, etc.), the selection committee members will create a final ranking and staff will subsequently enter into negotiations. Award of the contract is dependent upon the successful and full execution of a mutually agreed contract, pending the final approval by the Board of County Commissioners. The County reserves the right to withdraw this RFP at any time and for any reason, and to issue such clarifications, modifications, addendums, and/or amendments as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited, to requesting supplemental proposal information. Receipt of a proposal by the County or a submission of a proposal to the County offers no rights upon the Consultant nor obligates the County in any manner. Acceptance of the proposal does not guarantee issuance of any other governmental approvals. Proposals which include provisions requiring the granting of zoning variances may not be considered. 10. References The County reserves the right to contact any and all references submitted as a result of this solicitation. 11. Proposal Selection Committee and Evaluation Factors The County Manager or designee will appoint a Selection Committee to review all proposals submitted.

This information will be based on information provided by the Consultant, subject to verification at the County’s option. If there is a multiple firm tie in either individual scoring or final ranking, the firm with the lowest volume of work shall receive the higher ranking, the firm with the next lowest volume of work shall receive the next highest ranking and so on. 12. Acceptance or Rejection of Proposals RFP CCNA Template_01202016 16-6617 – Randall Boulevard Corridor Study 13 The right is reserved by the County to waive any irregularities in any proposal, to reject any or all proposals, to re-solicit for proposals, if desired, and upon recommendation and justification by Collier County to accept the proposal which in the judgment of the County is deemed the most advantageous for the public and Collier County.

Base Mapping Countywide map(s) to serve as a base for the display of initial corridor alternatives and major constraints. This can be an existing map such as from Collier County, USGS, or a Consultant generated base map. Data base information shall be compatible for use on aerial photography used for public hearing presentations, corridor maps, and alternative plans. The map(s) should also indicate all public/private right-of-way including, type, width, existing status, etc. 2. Traffic Data Collection The Consultant is expected to utilize, to the maximum extent possible, current traffic count data recently been obtained for all collector and arterial roads within the study area. The County will provide the available existing count data from their files. The Consultant will review the existing traffic count database provided by the County and then make recommendations for additional count locations. a. 24-Hour Machine Counts The Consultant will conduct 24-hour machine counts at all appropriate locations within the study area as determined by the Consultant and Collier County staff. All machine counts will be recorded in 15-minute increments by direction with hourly totals at all count locations. The 24-hour machine counts will be conducted on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. b. Classification Counts The Consultant will conduct 72-hour classification counts at all appropriate locations within the study area as determined by the Consultant and Collier County staff. The classification counts will be conducted on a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in 15-minute increments, with hourly totals for the entire twenty -four hour period on each day of the counts. C. Count Program Summary Report All count information will be tabulated in electronic format by 15- minute time increments with hourly totals for each day on which counts were conducted. An exhibit depicting the locations where the traffic counts were conducted will be prepared. All unadjusted count summary information and exhibits will be printed as a fully indexed report. Two (2) bound copies and one (1) unbound copy will be transmitted to the County. d. Turning Movement Counts Based on an analysis of the 72-hour traffic machine counts and evaluation of current and future development trends (traffic generators) the CONSULTANT shall then perform 8-hour manual RFP CCNA Template_01202016 16-6617 – Randall Boulevard Corridor Study 43 vehicle turning movement counts for peak hours at the same intersections listed above. 3. Transportation and Land Use Plans The consultant shall obtain current transpo rtation plans and programs (FDOT Work Program and local government CIP'S) for surface transportation modes, as available. Data shall be collected regarding present as well as future land use, access, proposed developments and/or area studies, current zoning, and observed trends within the study area. Data should be sufficient to show existing and projected residential, commercial, industrial, public, agricultural, and undeveloped areas within the study area, and demonstrate any relationships between land use and development policies. The FDOT's Land Use Mapping System is available as a data source. The FDOT procedure, Topic No. 550-010- 001, Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System, shall be used for reference and for mapping details. The Collier County Growth Management Plan shall be used to determine future land use, unless the County advises the Consultant otherwise. 4. Archaeological and Historical Sites The Consultant shall collect data necessary to completely analyze the impacts to all cultural and historical resources by all proposed alternatives. 5. Hazardous Material and Contamination Information The Consultant shall identify and map known major hazardous materials generators and sites of petroleum contamination that may affect the viability or location of any Corridor Alternative. 6. Utilities Existing and proposed utilities that may influence corridor level location or design considerations shall be identified. Major utility lines shall be mapped, including overhead/transmission lines, microwave towers, etc. 7. Natural Impacts a. Wetlands: Generally identify and map significant wetlands falling partially or wholly within the Study area that may affect the viability or location of any Corridor Alternative. 1) The identification of all wetland involvements along a project corridor. 2) An evaluation of project impacts on each wetland site. 3) An evaluation of all project alternatives including avoidance alternatives. 4) An evaluation of the significance of each wetland site. 5) An evaluation of the uniqueness of each wetland site. 6) An evaluation of the function/value of each wetland site. RFP CCNA Template_01202016 16-6617 – Randall Boulevard Corridor Study 44 7) A formal wetlands finding stating that no practical alternatives to the wetland taking exist, if such is the case. 8) An evaluation of all practicable measures to minimize harm to wetlands. 9) An evaluation of the reasonableness of mitigation measures proposed to reduce adverse impacts. b. Conceptual Mitigation Plan If the project impacts wetlands, a conceptual mitigation plan will address the three types of mitigation: avoidance, minimization, and compensation. The three types are to be employed in sequence, with avoidance being the first measure utilized to reduce impacts. Compensatory mitigation includes actions such as wetland preservation, restoration, enhancement, or creation. c. Threatened and Endangered Species: Identify and map potential wildlife corridors that affect any Corridor Alternative. Conduct a literature search to survey and identify areas that may contain state and federally designated endangered and threatened species or species of special concern. A map shall be produced that shows the area(s) containing such species in relation to the various Corridor Alternatives. d. Soils: Obtain and map existing information (such as County soil survey maps and other information from the Soils Conservation Service) to generally describe the composition of large areas of unacceptable soils within the Study area, and their impact on the location of Corridor Alternatives. e. Floodplain and Drainage: Identify, delineate, and map all base (100 -year frequency) floodplains and all floodways that may affect the viability/location of any Corridor Alternative. Task D: Existing Conditions Analysis The purpose of this study task is to provide a general evaluation of the level of service on the major roadways in the study area. The latest version of the FDOT Level of Service Tables or software will be utilized to define existing levels of service. Accomplishment of these objectives will occur through the following activities: 1. Existing Traffic The Consultant will prepare a spreadsheet tabulation showing location specific values for: (1) the percent of daily traffic occurring in the peak hours; (2) the directional distribution of travel during the peak hours; and (3) the daily and peak hour truck percentages (where available). 2. Traffic Adjustment RFP CCNA Template_01202016 16-6617 – Randall Boulevard Corridor Study 45 The Consultant will adjust the actual counts to represent average annual daily traffic volumes (AADT) using weekly seasonal adjustment factors provided by the County. 3. Link Level Analysis The Consultant will determine the associated roadway link levels of service based on the current version of the Highway Capacity Manual and associated support programs. 4. Existing Conditions Analysis Report All computer generated tabulations and illustrations (including truck/heavy vehicle flow patterns) related to the existing conditions analysis will undergo quality assurance checks by the Consultant and will be prepared for inclusion in the Existing Conditions Analysis Report. Tabular summaries of the existing level of service conditions will be prepared by the Consultant and reviewed by the County. 5. Social and Cultural Impacts All feasible project alternatives, including the no -build alternative, must be investigated. Community impact analysis addresses three general categories of impacts: 1. Direct impacts, such as loss of structural or environmental features in the Right of Way and relocation of residents or businesses; 2. Indirect impacts, those which are caused by direct impacts and often occur later in time or further away in distance than direct impacts; and 3. Cumulative impacts, the combined effects produced when seemingly minor project impacts take on greater significance when considered in combination with the impacts of other past, present, or reasonably foreseeable future actions. The relative magnitude of social and economic impacts can vary across communities, neighborhoods, and stakeholder groups due to differing degrees of sensitivity toward a particular issue or impact. An impact that is perceived by one community as significantly adverse might be widely tolerated or even desirable to another. Such variation can make determining the importance of an impact both challenging and unpredictable. Guidance to making this determination is gained through adaptation of criteria established by the CEQ Regulations for Implementing the Procedural Provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (40 CFR 1500-1508), as follows: 1. Probability of the effect occurring; 2. Number of individuals affected; 3. Likely duration of the impact; 4. Relative value of benefits or costs to groups (i.e., the intensity of the impact); RFP CCNA Template_01202016 16-6617 – Randall Boulevard Corridor Study 46 5. Extent that negative impacts can be mitigated; 6. Likelihood and nature of secondary impacts; 7. Relevance to present and future policy decisions; 8. Level of uncertainty over possible effects; and 9. Presence or absence of controversy. The Consultant must develop a community profile through contact with local officials, summarizing the history, present conditions and anticipated future needs of the Corridor Study area. This profile will be used to describe the “affected environment” in the environmental document and will serve as the basis for identifying potential impacts of the proposed transportation improvement. The community profile will typically include: 1. A visual map or maps that depict physical characteristics, such as neighborhood boundaries, land uses, medical facilities, educational facilities (public and private), religious institutions, cemeteries (public and private), publicly owned facilities (parks, recreation areas, wildlife refuges), historic districts and sites, archaeological sites, fire station, civic facilities, government buildings, and commercial centers; 2. Narrative text that describes community characteristics, such a s population demographics, economic, social history and values of the communities, the importance of various facilities, and plans for the future; and 3. Tables or graphics that summarize important data or conclusions, such as population demographics or employment trends. Social impacts that may occur as the result of proposed transportation improvements include impacts on community cohesion, community facilities and services, mobility and safety. The following sections provide specific guidance for documentation for each of the social impact areas: a. Community Cohesion The community profile development process will have allowed the analyst to reach conclusions regarding the degree of cohesiveness of various groups within the adjacent neighborhoods and the community as a whole. The Community Cohesion section should discuss the impacts of each alternative for the proposed action on this cohesiveness. The types of impacts that should be evaluated include: 1. Bisecting (dividing) neighborhoods; 2. Social isolation (isolating a portion of an ethnic group or neighborhood); RFP CCNA Template_01202016 16-6617 – Randall Boulevard Corridor Study 47 3. Facilitating new development (infill); 4. Urban renewal; 5. Decreased neighborhood size (relocation); 6. Joint land use; 7. Changes in property values; 8. Changes in neighborhood or community access; 9. Changes in quality of life; 10. Changes in neighborhood identification; and 11. Separation of residences from community facilities. b. Community Facilities and Services Community services will have been identified during development of the community profile. The Community Facilities and Services section should address impacts of each alternative for the proposed action on these community facilities and services. The following specific types of facilities must be addressed: 1. Schools; 2. Religious institutions; 3. Parks, recreation centers and playgrounds; 4. Social service agencies; 5. Housing for the elderly, retirement centers, or other special needs residential facilities; 6. Hospitals and other medical facilities; 7. Community centers; 8. Senior centers; 9. Libraries; 10. Retail and other commercial establishments; 11. Day care centers; and 12. Emergency services, such as fire and police stations. c. Mobility The Mobility section should describe and discuss changes in travel patterns and accessibility (e.g., vehicular, commuter, bicycle, or pedestrian). Particular attention should be given regarding the effects of such changes on community mobility and neighborhood interaction. d. Safety The Safety section should discuss and evaluate the impacts of each alternative for the proposed action on both traffic and neighborhood safety. Neighborhood safety issues to be addressed include: 1. Police/emergency services, 2. Trucking/Hauling 4. Mining operations vehicles 3. Bicycle/pedestrian safety. RFP CCNA Template_01202016 16-6617 – Randall Boulevard Corridor Study 48 Where the evaluation determines that potential impacts on neighborhood or traffic safety are substantial, the document should provide discussion of possible mitigation to reduce the impact potential. e. Economic Impacts Economic impacts that may occur as the result of proposed transportation improvements include changes in growth rates, business activity, property values, and tax revenues. These impacts are generally related to one of two factors: changes in the accessibility of an area and/or changes in the local environment. The types of impacts that should be evaluated for businesses include: 1. Changes in regional traffic (bypass impacts); 2. Changes in business environment (noise, air quality, aesthetics, amenities, traffic volumes and traffic speed); 3. Access changes (delivery, employee, and customer); 4. Changes in customer and/or employee base (relocations); and 5. Compatibility with economic development plans. The type of impacts that should be evaluated for residential areas include: 1. Changes in residential environment (noise, air quality, aesthetics, amenities, traffic volumes and traffic speed); and 2. Changes in employment opportunities and retail shopping/services related to changes in businesses. The types of impacts that should be evaluated for local taxing authorities include: 1. Conversion of taxable property to public use; 2. Affected taxing authorities; and 3. Revenue losses and the affect on taxing authorities. e. Land Use Impacts The Land Use impacts will describe how the project will or will not meet the Long Range Transportation Plan and the local comprehensive plan by determining the following: Existing and Future land Use; Consistency with Land Use Planning; Joint Land Use Development; Aesthetics and Livability Impacts; Relocation & Displacement Impacts Task E: Corridor Alternatives Analysis and Ranking RFP CCNA Template_01202016 16-6617 – Randall Boulevard Corridor Study 49 A Corridor Alternative is a comprehensive, conceptual proposal that illustrates and defines the development and improvement of new and existing transportation facilities and services, in order to increase the person -carrying capacity of the corridor and to carry local and through trips that improve urban mobility and goods movement. The proposal must be based on system analysis and identify the development and improvement of regional transportation facilities and services which influence the performance of the study corridor and other adjacent facilities. The proposal must be coordinated with state, regional, and local transportation plans. The 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan identified the Randall Boulevard/Oil Well Road Study Area. The study area surrounds the Randall Boulevard and Oil Well Road corridors and is intended that this study clearly define the most appropriate corridor for needed multi -lane improvements to facilitate east-west travel. The Consultant shall develop, with County consultation and input from the first public workshop, initial Corridor Alternatives (maximum of five alternatives) for analysis. The Consultant will provide all necessary modeling for each of these Corridor Alternatives. Once the initial Corridor Alternatives have been defined, each alternative shall be analyzed in a similar manner and ranked against the other alternatives. The Consultant shall prepare an evaluation procedure that shall be reviewed and approved by the County. The Consultant shall perform any and all analyses necessary to define and select a final alternative. The following items shall be included in the analysis at a level of detail commensurate with the definition of initial corridor alternatives. All modeling will be accompli shed utilizing the most recent Collier County MPO Travel Demand Model. 1. Determine Future Travel Demands The Consultant shall forecast Corridor Alternative travel demand volumes. The Consultant shall work with the County so that the future planning projects are addressed as appropriate for this Study's forecasting approach. This contact will ensure that the Study will utilize consistent data, principles, and assumptions that generate results compatible with other ongoing studies in the area. The Consultant shall present the results of the evaluation of the traffic projections to the Technical and Citizens’ Advisory Committees meetings. Use of the travel projections are subject to County approval. The Consultant will develop future volumes for year 204 0 Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) in sufficient detail to determine the future needs of the corridor for each alternative. 2. Design Analysis Utilizing the data collected as part of this scope of work, the Consultant shall perform the engineering analysis necessary to complete the project development process. The task of engineering analysis will be ongoing throughout the duration of the project and will be performed with RFP CCNA Template_01202016 16-6617 – Randall Boulevard Corridor Study 50 consideration to the results of the environmental impacts analysis. After selection of viable corridor, the Consultant shall develop and analyze alternate conceptual design alternatives. The development of the design alternatives shall consider the desires of the community with respect to landscaping, aesthetics, or other special features in order to satisfy the requirements of the County. The Consultant shall develop and evaluate all viable alternatives in order to address the project needs. 3. Typical Sections Analysis The Consultant will determine the typical sections required to meet the future travel demand of the corridors. The Consultant will also determine the location and general configuration of any intersections and/or connecting roadways along the corridors. 4. Right-of-Way Analysis The Consultant will review available right-of-way data to determine existing boundaries. Analysis will include additional right -of-way requirements that will be required by the range of alternatives. 5. Cultural Features Analysis In the Consultant's development of the Corridor Alternatives, the mapped Cultural Features must be considered in the evaluation of the overall impacts. 6. Contamination Analysis In the Consultant's development of the Corridor Alternatives, the identified and mapped hazardous waste sites must be considered in the evaluation of the overall impacts. 7. Natural Features Analysis In the Consultant's development of the Corridor Alternatives, the identified and mapped natural features must be considered in the evaluation of the overall impacts. 8. Cost Analysis The Consultant will prepare a comparison of all Corridor Alternatives based on estimated costs for construction and any additional right-of-way. Task F: Executive Summary In summary detail and non-technical language, the Consultant will fully document the ranking process used in the Corridor Alternatives Analysis and Ranking Task. Further, the summary should include appropriate commentary and discussion of how the ranking of the Corridor Alternatives relate to MPO plans, local comprehensive plans, long-range transportation plans, the Florida Transportation Plan, and the plans of transportation authorities in the region. RFP CCNA Template_01202016 16-6617 – Randall Boulevard Corridor Study 51 The final recommendations shall be presented to the Collier Board of County Commissioners for final approval. The Consultant shall prepar e the necessary handouts and graphics as well as provide staff for the presentation. Task G: Project Management and Coordination The Consultant shall provide sufficient project management and coordination to assure production control and assistance to th e County during the study. A series of up to eighteen (18) regular briefings will be held between the Consultant and the County. These briefings should be held at least every month, and to the extent possible, on a regular schedule. The purpose of these briefings is to keep the County updated of the progress of the study and the Consultant’s findings, to confer on future courses of action, to schedule and coordinate the preparation of other meetings, and to ensure the study progress is maintained in acco rdance with the study schedule. When appropriate, representatives from other agencies may participate in these briefings. The County reserves the right to request additional briefings, on reasonable advance notice, should it become apparent that there are excessive schedule delays or unacceptable products.
