In addition, Consultant shall provide electronic document files to the City upon completion of the Project. 2.17 THE CITY HAS NO OBLIGATION TO ASSIST, FACILITATE AND/OR PERFORM IN ANY WAY THE CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE AGREEMENT OR OTHER CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. THE CITY'S PARTICIPATION, FACILITATION AND/OR ASSISTANCE TO THE CONSULTANT SHALL BE AT ITS SOLE DISCRETION AND SHALL NOT, IN ANY WAY, BE CONSTRUED, INTERPRETED AND/OR CONSTITUTE AN ASSUMPTION BY THE CITY OF CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS, A WAIVER OF CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS AND/OR EXCUSE ANY BREACH BY CONSULTANT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. THE PARTICIPATION IN THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OF CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS SHALL NOT PRECLUDE THE CITY FROM DECLARING CONSULTANT IN DEFAULT FOR CONSULTANT'S FAILURE TO PERFORM SUCH OBLIGATION, NOR SHALL IT LIMIT, IN ANY WAY, THE CITY'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THE CONSULTANT EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES NOT TO RAISE OR ASSERT AS DEFENSE TO ANY CLAIM, ACTION, SUIT AND/OR OTHER PROCEEDING OF A SIMILAR NATURE, THE CITY'S PARTICIPATION, ASSISTANCE AND/OR FACILITATION IN THE PERFORMANCE OF CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS. INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ASSISTING WITH OBTAINING PERMITS OR WITH COORDINATION WITH UTILITIES, OR OTHER MATTERS RELATED TO THE PROJECT.

Such services shall be undertaken and performed pursuant to appropriate written agreements between the Consultant and the subconsultants, which shall contain provisions that preserve and protect the rights of the City under this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create any contractual relationship between the City and the subconsultants. The Consultant shall not retain, add, or replace any subconsultant without the prior written approval of the City Manager, in response to a written request from the Consultant stating the reasons for any proposed substitution. The Consultant shall cause the names of subconsultants responsible for significant portions of the Services to be inserted on the plans and specifications.

The Consultant shall, upon the request of the City, submit to the City such documentation and information as the City reasonably requests to evidence the creation, standing, ownership and professional licensure of the Consultant (and subconsultants), including organizational documents, operating agreements and professional licensure documentation, and copies of the Consultant's contracts with the subconsultant with respect to the Project. However, the City's failure to request such documentation or evidence and/or failure to enforce in any way the terms and provisions of this Section, the Agreement and/or any other Consultant Service Order during the Project does not excuse, waive and/or condone in any way any noncompliance of the requirements set forth therein including, without limitation, the professional licensure requirements. Any approval of a subconsultant by the City shall in no way shift from the Consultant to City the responsibility for the quality and acceptability of the services performed by the subconsultant. Payment of subconsultants shall be the sole responsibility of the Consultant and shall not be cause for any increase in compensation to the Consultant for payment of the Services. ARTICLE 3. THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITIES 3.1 The City Manager shall designate a Project Administrator, who shall be the City's authorized representative to act on City's behalf with respect to the City's responsibilities or matters requiring City's approval under the Contract Documents.

The Project Administrator shall have full authority to require the Consultant to comply with the Contract Documents, provided, however, that any failure of the Project Administrator to identify any noncompliance, or to specifically direct or require compliance, shall in no way constitute a waiver of, or excuse, the Consultant's obligation to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents. 3.2 The City shall make available to Consultant, for the convenience of the Consultant only, 13 information that the City has in its possession pertinent to the Project.

Consultant shall design the Project so that the Construction Cost Budget for the Project is not exceeded. As part of the Basic Services, Consultant shall design and/or re -design the Project to the Construction Cost Budget in accordance with this Article 4, making all revisions necessary to maintain the Construction Cost Budget.

If at the foregoing stage of design, the Consultant's Statement of Probable Construction Cost exceeds the City's Construction Budget by more than fifteen percent (15%), then the Project 15 Administrator shall provide notice thereof to the Consultant. Consultant shall then identify the cause(s) for the difference and recommend in writing for the City's approval any modification in the Design Documents necessary to conform to the Consultant's estimated total costs in the Statement of Probable Construction Cost to within fifteen percent (15%) of the City's Construction Budget. Upon obtaining City's approval of any proposed modifications, Consultant shall incorporate such modifications within the Design Documents as part of the Basic Services and at no additional cost to the City. 4.2.2.

Upon obtaining the City's approval, Consultant shall promptly modify the Design Documents or Construction Documents within the time period specified by the Project Administrator (which time period for completion shall not exceed ninety (90) days from the date Consultant is notified to re -design), as part of the Basic Services and at no additional cost to the City. 4.2.4. To ensure that the Construction Cost shall not exceed the City's Construction Budget, each Statement of Probable Construction Cost shall be in sufficient detail to identify the costs of each element and include a breakdown of the fees, general conditions and a reasonable and appropriate construction contingency. 4.3. Consultant shall certify and warrant to the City that the Statement of Probable Construction Cost and any update thereto, represents Consultant's best judgment of the Construction Cost for the Project as an experienced design professional familiar with the construction industry, provided, however, that Consultant cannot (and does not) guarantee that bids or negotiated prices will not vary from any estimates of Construction Cost or other cost evaluation(s) prepared (or otherwise provided) by Consultant. 4.4 If the lowest and best Base Bid exceeds the Consultant's final updated Statement of Probable Cost by more than ten percent (10%), the Project Administrator shall provide notice 16 thereof to the Consultant, and the Consultant shall re -design the Project within the Project Scope, construction schedule, sequence of Work, or such other action, as deemed necessary, to reduce the Statement of Probable Construction Cost, and Consultant shall provide any required revisions to the Contract Documents (including, without limitation, the Construction Documents) within the time period specified by the Project Administrator (which time period for completion shall not exceed ninety (90) days from the date Consultant is notified to re -design), and shall provide re- bidding services, as many times as may be reasonably requested by the City, as part of the Basic Services and at no additional cost to the City, in order to bring any resulting, responsive and responsible bids within ten percent (10%) of the Consultant's final updated Statement of Probable Cost. 4.5. The Construction Cost Budget shall not be exceeded without fully justifiable, extraordinary, and unforeseen circumstances (such as Force Majeure) which are beyond the control of the parties.

Project Spotlight Alta led a project that directly engages with combating urban heat and implementing resiliency principles: Canoga Park Urban Cooling project. Alta's Los Angeles office led this project with Streets LA of the City of Los Angeles. This project combines first/last mile solutions with urban cooling strategies. The project is in the San Gabriel Valley, where extreme heat is an ongoing public health concern. Using strategies such as cool paving, new landscape and shade structure placement, the project developed a toolkit of recommendations for three different typologies: major corridors, local streets, and shared -use paths. Recommendations from this project informed the community plan updates LA is currently conducting. As part of the existing conditions analysis for this project, a robust existing conditions report was created that examines climate concerns. The workshop activities included heat -measuring related activities. CLICK HERE to read more on this project. ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.

The transit service that the county transit agency (Palm Tran) was providing was insufficient for the level of density and walkability that the city intends. The City had been running a limited, downtown -focused trolley service, but felt it needed to JWA expand its transit offerings city-wide and better coordinate transit services provided by the county agency. As a subcontractor to Alta Planning & Design, JWA led the development of the transit components of the plan. Key issues included: • Designing a network that complemented county services instead of competing with them. • Integrating citywide needs with downtown circulator markets. • Locating and identifying rough specifications for a new downtown transit center and revisions to the layout of the Tri-Rail transit center. • Exploring different downtown routing possibilities while still showing flexibility in response to actions the county might take. • Building understanding among civic leaders about the need for the City to lead this issue. Miami -Dade County JWA was hired by Transit Alliance and Miami -Dade County to redesign the county bus Better Bus Project, FL network and work with municipalities to look at improvements to city trolley networks. To help 2019 -2020 stakeholders and the public understand the conflicting goals of transit network design, JWA worked with county and local staff to create two concepts: one that kept the county's existing Contact: coverage and one that focused on allocating more resources towards high ridership goals. The Azhar Chougle concepts included resources from municipal trolleys. Integrating the trolleys with Miami -Dade Former Director Transit service showed the benefits of reduced duplication and the value of a seamless network Transit Alliance of Miami that could get more residents to more places sooner. (971) 374-3540 az@asmatraz.com JWA guided our local partners at Transit Alliance on the surveying and outreach efforts around these two concepts, which included dozens of public meetings and thousands of survey Carlos Cruz-Casas responses. Based on public outreach, staff recommended a blend about half -way between the Assistant Director, Miami -Dade two concepts. JWA facilitated a second Core Design Retreat to design the recommended New County Dept. of Transportation Network that went before the public and elected officials for review. and Public Works In both the Concepts and the Draft Plan phases, JWA helped guide a conversation around (756) 442-5248 equitable outcomes through measures of job access and proximity to service for people of color, cruzc@miamidade.gov people in poverty, as well as looking at workforce access and access to affordable housing.

The Panel considered what long-term planning and development strategies would provide the most resilient outcomes and other community benefits. The Panel proposed a vision that would increase the resilience and preparedness of Arch Creek Basin, enhance social equity, and create opportunities for all Arch Creek Basin's residents. The Panel's recommendations fall into four main categories: 1. Building social resilience in the community, especially among vulnerable populations. 2. Encouraging a more resilient and connected development pattern at the future transportation hub on high ground. 3. Managing water by restoring some of Arch Creek Basin's historical, natural systems. 4. Using the Adaptation Action Area framework to address governance, financing, and implementation. Funded by the Jessie Ball duPont Fund, the Riverfront Study and Activation Plan was initiated to serve as a resource for the City of Jacksonville in the planning and development of the future Riverfront. JLP+D is serving as the economic advisor to prepare a funding analysis and governance strategy to advance the implementation of the Activation Plan. Unlocking the greater potential of the Saint Johns River presents a major opportunity to benefit Jacksonville in the years to come. From inclusive programming, community wellbeing, and greater health, to the city's enhanced economic competitiveness, a more activated waterfront helps build the path to Jacksonville's long-term vibrancy, livability, and prosperity. To prepare the governance and funding strategy, JLP+D interviewed local stakeholders from public, private, and non-profit sectors and conducted an analysis with 21 case studies to illustrate the potential of different approaches for consideration. Specifically, JLP+D investigated and evaluated diverse potential funding sources, such as government contribution, earned income, real estate value capture, various forms of private contributions, and program partners' in -kind contributions. JLP+D's analysis emphasized the need for the plan's alignment with different funders' goals and priorities, as well as continued collaboration among project partners and champions. To advocate for greater collaboration and funding, JLP+D also made the economic case of investing in downtown waterfront, combining industry and demographic data analysis with case studies that demonstrated the value of a greater waterfront to existing and new residents, businesses, and the overall wellbeing of the city.

Vehicular traffic counts were collected, as well as Pedestrian and bicycle activity. The scope included a crash analysis and the evaluation of the existing traffic conditions and the existing operating capacity of the intersections along the corridor. Alta, in collaboration with Jarrett Walker & Associates as part of a team, developed a transit vision for the City that included exploring opportunities to expand transit service through the County's fixed bus routes and the City's trolley service. As a result of the vision plan, the City tasked Alta with defining the framework for enhancing its trolley service. The City of West Palm Beach Trolley Study involved evaluating existing trolley operations and stops, reconciling mutual stops with County bus routes, and making prioritized recommendations to the four fixed trolley routes. The comprehensive inventory analysis led to the development of a set of criteria that facilitated ranking trolley stops for improvements. The Alta team provided trolley stop typologies, which included aesthetic, technology, and design recommendations that also recognized the character of each area within the City. In addition to this collaborative working experience, we also bring a close relationship with our subconsultont DRMP, as a partner firm of the Trilon Group, which includes both Alta and DRMP.

ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC. RFQ 2023-030-ND General Transportation Planning and Traffic Engineering Consultant Services 75 TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS Implementing new bikeways, trails, traffic signals, and pedestrian features can have implications for existing and future traffic operations. Predicting how these changes influence heavy vehicle turning, queuing at intersections and overall level of service can be challenging to understand. Alta's traffic engineers understand these complex issues surrounding the installation of pedestrian and bicycle facilities. We can model the impacts of new or extended signal phases, new or modified intersection and roadway geometry and the reduction of travel and/ or vehicle turning lanes. Our engineers utilize industry standard modeling and simulation software such as Synchro, AutcTURN, and VISSIM to predict impacts and optimize strategies that balance the needs of all roadway users. Alta developed a series of intersection concepts at the intersection of two shared -use paths and a buffered bike lane at a busy intersection on Charleston's Downtown Peninsula. This option features reduced turning radii to encourage slower vehicle turning speeds, high -visibility crosswalks, and an exclusive bicycle signal phase. Alta regularly completes Road Safety Assessments (RSA) for corridor planning and design projects. The RSA pictured above was completed for Cobb County, GA for the City's Bicycle Master Plan.

RFQ 2023-030-ND General Transportation Planning and Traffic Engineering Consultant Services 79 Our team is augmented by the access -to -transit design experience we share and the transit planning, transit operations, and transit network programming expertise of our teaming partner JWA. The team's range of expertise extends from large bus and rail network redesign and optimization initiatives to more targeted projects to optimize corridors with transit priority signalization. JWA will work as a partner to Alta in implementing their transit planning skill set, offering a combination of the technical skill to bring together data from across the enterprise, the investigative know-how to produce the most important indicators to inform service design, and the planning expertise to translate that monitoring into concrete, actionable service proposals. JWA offers a number of unique approaches and tools for use in a major service planning processes like the ones requested for in this RFQ: Conceptual Networks illustrating choices. In a service planning process, JWA will sometimes facilitate a major choice by the public, stakeholders, elected officials or staff by developing a set of Conceptual Networks that vary starkly by purpose. Core Design Retreats. One way that JWA can collaborate with agency staff is through an intensive, creative network design retreat. We worked with Miami Beach staff in developing ideas for route changes for the Beach Trolleys during our work on the Better Bus Network with Miami - Dade Transit and have a deep understanding of the opportunities and challenges in routing and network design in Miami Beach. ransit edestrian icycle • Interactive web -based reference maps. JWA can put much of the data that we use in service planning into an online, interactive format, accessible from any device. This is an excellent tool for clients and their partners to use as they participate in the service planning process. We are also one of the few consultants to use Remix, a powerful web -based tool to easily develop and assess new service ideas and present them to stakeholders or the public. Visualizations of access and opportunity. JWA provides a range of visualization tools to help people grasp the benefits of network design proposals and continues to innovate in this area. • Operational costing tools. JWA has a detailed set of operational costing tools to assess short and long-term operating costs for small and big network changes. Our detailed costing model has proven successful and estimating revenue hours within 2-3%for major network changes for many clients across the country and we have experience in detailed schedule development to fine-tune operating cost assumptions. • Performance Standards. JWA has deep experience working with transit agencies and communities on service and performance standards for transit. We believe that a robust set of performance measures or service standards includes an explanation of Balancing multiple modes for East Palmetto Park Road begins by considering available space. Laying out and designating desired transit, pedestrian, and bicycle improvements will give the project team a clear understanding of the spatial tradeoffs. This will also be an effective communication tool when coordinating with stakeholders and community members. ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC. RFQ 2023-030-ND General Transportation Planning and Traffic Engineering Consultant Services 80 why these standards have been chosen, why they matter, and how the standards implement higher level goals or values that matter deeply to the Board, the funding partners, or the public. In short, standards should be about something that matters, and should explain why, if you care deeply about A, you should be interested in performance standard X. Most importantly, JWA understands how difficult and rewarding it can be to develop new transit ideas in places like Miami Beach. The density and activity levels in Miami Beach create challenges like many downtown areas, where: The stakes are enormous — Miami Beach is a major hub of the region's economy and its identity. Everybody cares. People from throughout the city and region have a stake in transit on the Beach, not just because of their private interests but also because they view it as a regional symbol that should express their values. Local political sensitivity is extreme. Interest groups are packed together tightly, each with little room to maneuver. This can be a recipe for extreme defensiveness and conflict. Planning in this environment often degenerates into parochial battles over every parking space or every square foot of sidewalk. • Multimodal thinking is key. It is always true that transportation modes affect each other in complex ways that make it dangerous to plan any mode in isolation, but nowhere is this more true than in places like Miami Beach. The core work of transit planning in such places is the design of the street — a limited space that all transport modes and human activities must share. It is pointless to conceive of a "bicycle plan" or "traffic plan" or "transit plan,' as though any of these could be implemented without reconciling them all in the design of each street. An effective approach to transit planning in Miami Beach must therefore be driven by big imperatives. • Break out of silos. Work on transportation planning in Miami Beach will require an especially high level of group thinking: charrettes, working sessions, and other processes that keep everyone focused on the collective space where the only real solutions will occur. • Articulate big ideas but make them meaningful. Big visions get people to see beyond their immediate interests and fears, but they must be more than rhetoric. A useful vision has specific consequences for the difficult trade-offs that must be made. • Engage the public in the real choices. Useful public input arises from the public having to think • Space matters more than money. Standard about the real problem. Outreach must say: "Here transportation planning methods are well suited to is the planning problem? What would you do in our deciding how to spend money, but in Miami Beach, place?" Effective outreach must have the courage the scarcity of space is often a bigger problem. to frame problems clearly, even if this isn't always what participants want too here.

RFQ 2023-030-ND General Transportation Planning and Traffic Engineering Consultant Services 82 ADA accessibility in roadway design is our team's specialty. The Alta team has experience designing ADA compliant and accessible curb ramps for agencies across the United States an has built our awareness of the liability risk many cities have because of non -compliant ADA facilities within their jurisdictions, giving the Alta team valuable design insight. ACCESSIBLE CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGN Alta has provides civil engineering design services to agencies to provide plans, specifications and cost estimates for pavement rehabilitation, Complete Streets, and streetscape improvement projects. Our project experience has demonstrated that we consider the needs of all users in our technical project development process. Street improvement projects trigger the need to upgrade facilities, such as curb ramps and sidewalks, to meet current ADA requirements. Alta identifies such needs early in the design development process to develop truly inclusive Complete Streets and minimize unnecessary project costs. Our technical staff are careful to assess the need for full replacements or modifications to bring infrastructure to code and can develop details for the construction of compliant improvements should more complex modifications be necessary. Alta can incorporate specific design elements that increase safety, including narrowing the width of street crossings, improved lighting, and effective site lines. We strive to create sustainable CIPs that do not over -burden maintenance departments and minimize operation costs. For example, Alta can prepare and specify signage and striping improvements so that they are timed with routine repaving and maintenance efforts. Accessibility Through Experience with the Americans with Disabilities Act Alta specializes in the compliance evaluation and design of pedestrian and bicycle accessibility. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and related laws, standards, and guidelines are a fundamental part of all bicycle, pedestrian, and trail designs, plans, and policies. Our ADA experts will verify if infrastructure needs to be fully replaced, or if modifications will bring it to code, thereby finding the most economical solution. If a full replacement is necessary, most cases will be addressed by using current ADA standard plans, but in the unique cases were a standard need to be modified to join the existing improvements, our engineers will develop details for the construction of a compliant improvements. Alta has completed numerous ADA transition plans, pedestrian assessments, and designs for cities throughout the country. Our approach to all design work is to make sure current ADA, PROWAG, City, State standards are incorporated in all our designs. ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.

Environmental Sustainability Analysis We create active, healthy communities — and that means we apply sustainable thinking to plan, design, and build resilient multimodal networks to achieve the carbon reduction, climate mitigation, and adaptation goals of our client communities. SUSTAINABLE DESIGN AND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE Alta's planners, landscape architects, and engineers take a people -first approach to help agencies meet their climate change mitigation goals. Active transportation design holds many opportunities for sustainable design approaches that cool temperatures and landscape improvements to reduce urban heat island effect and maximize potential for stormwater capture. Alta staff also understand that the public right-of-way is one of a city's most valuable assets, sidewalks, streets, and alleys often represent the vast majority of a city's public space. Through our pedestrian facility and streetscape designs we determine the cost -benefit of implementing green infrastructure. Thousands of trees have been planted and stormwater infiltration gardens have been implemented resulting in more resilient urban canopies, additional habitats for pollinators and other wildlife, and stormwater directed back into the ground locally. Alta developed this Urban Cooling Strategies Toolkit that identifies the impacts and benefits of green infrastructure for pedestrian and other active transportation projects and details options for where and how to use it effectively CLICK HERE to read more on Alta's Sustainability practice. PERFORMANCE MEASURES BEFORE Alta is the national leader in defining performance measures and targets for non -motorized transportation as well as identifying necessary data for tracking those measures. We have worked with a wide range of communities and understand the current state of the practice and aspirations for the future improvements. This combined with our understanding of federal performance measures allows us to help communities integrate meaningful benchmarks into their plans and community visions. We work diligently to define performance measures that provide valuable information on connectivity, economic investment, environmental benefits, equity, health, livability, and safety in various geographic and land use contexts. We are adept at assessing these factors and selecting metrics that are sensitive and appropriate to the context, for example assessing plan completeness in terms of percent of network constructed rather than number of miles constructed. In El Monte, CA, Alta is re -imagining the Merced Avenue corridor as a stormwoter receptive bikeway that will cool temperatures and encourage active modes of travel. ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.

Transit Intermodal Facility Development MICROMOBILITY AND MOBILITY HUBS With the emergence of new types of micromobility, there is also more demand on the public right-of-way. Alta is helping address questions around safety, speed, modes coexisting in existing infrastructure, environmental health, and public and private partnerships. We are developing evaluation frameworks, policies and permitting structures, and facility design to address the impacts of these new modes. Alta also provides design services to implement mobility hubs by linking land use, transportation, economic development, and smart city technology. UNIQUE CHALLENGES OF SITING AND PROGRAMMING MOBILITY HUBS • Location, location, location: critical to find the right site to serve mobility goals, but in some cases, land availability, cost, and land use zoning also must align • Constrained right-of-way: co -locating services or re -orienting space within the public right-of-way can be difficult when the street is already crowded. • Existing policies: providing amenities and a vibrant mix of uses may be limited by land use policies and development regulations. PROJECT HIGHLIGH: MOBILITY HUBS • Capacity limitations: transit and other mobility services at a hub need to have the capacity and operational characteristics to serve the new users that a hub is designed to attract. • Meaningful engagement: community outreach must overcome the hurdle of introducing a new concept that may offer new technologies, new services, and new ways of making choices in order to gain meaningful input that will drive the success of the project. • Known unknowns: with mobility services evolving and more change expected, hubs must be designed for seamless adaptation in an uncertain future. Composite S.0biXty Map for Mobility Hub Sit" Alta's suitability analysis for the University of Utah Mobility Hub Project used heat mapping to show key locations for mobility hubs. Area Transit System Mobility Hub Planning, Charlotte NC Alta initiated the idea of using mobility hubs to integrate multiple transit programs in Charlotte, including streetcar and bus line extensions, to support Center City Charlotte, the Charlotte Gateway Center, and the future Charlotte Gateway Station. Aggregating transit, shared mobility options, and active transportation create site -specific and linear hubs, giving the City the opportunity to capitalize on highly accessible and populated areas to support new development.

Transportation Related Urban Design INCLUSIVE ENGINEERING AND DESIGN Alta's approach to all design work is to make sure current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Public Rights -Of - Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG), City, and State standards are incorporated in all of our designs. For this project, like all others, Alta will identify needs early in the design development process to develop truly inclusive Complete Streets and minimize unnecessary project costs. Our staff will be careful to assess the need for full replacements or modifications to bring infrastructure to code and can develop details for the construction of compliant improvements should more complex modifications be necessary. Alta will work with the City to incorporate specific design elements that increase safety, including narrowing the width of street crossings, improved lighting, and effective site lines along the corridor. Our specialties include: Parks and Urban Spaces: We understand the opportunities, challenges, funding and management mechanisms, and maintenance standards specific to developing open spaces. Our parks and urban designs enhance opportunities for recreation, access to nature, and restoring habitat. These investments are aimed at producing both economic and quality of life benefits. Complete Streets: Our Complete Streets approach creates opportunities for people to choose how they move through a community, while enhancing the function and character of a street through traffic calming, streetscape elements, and green infrastructure. Alta is experienced with addressing technical and community issues, seeing that applicable standards are met, the intended users are well served, and conflicts and impacts are avoided. Green Infrastructure and Best Management Practices: Alta blends ecological function with landscape aesthetics by incorporating best management practices, durable materials, and green infrastructure elements into our designs. Our planting, grading, and irrigation concept plans are intertwined to create durable landscapes that conserve water resources and require low maintenance. Wayfinding, Gateway, and Signage Systems: Alta's wayfinding, gateway, and signage systems are inventive and reflect an area's identity while addressing the needs of pedestrians, bicyclists, drivers, and transit riders. We understand the key elements of creating systems that are safe, navigable, and accessible.

Using Deltek Vision software, Alia will track and manage staff time commitments and project progress with streamlined collaboration and information sharing across a distributed project team. Alta manages budget by focusing on the goals of the project to avoid scope creep. Although there may be opportunities to add elements that may enhance the project, our focus will be on providing flexible task work deliverables that meet the needs of the City and its stakeholders and citizens. We have learned to eliminate unnecessary analysis that will only serve to confirm known issues. Quality Control The QA/QC process will be led by Alta's designated QA/QC Manager Matt Hayes, AICP, whose primary role is making sure project goals are integrated into the process and to verify the accuracy and consistency of project deliverables. Alta employs a three-tier quality control system that includes a professional editor who reviews all materials, independent review by principals and subject matter experts, and in-house scheduling and management tools. In the process, our designers are required to submit the checklists to provide reviewers with additional project information to aid in the review process and allow them to focus on key design elements. This helps us to avoid missing key elements during the design process while at the same time serving as a reminder to communicate internally within our team. In addition, our designers are required to have a senior level engineer provide an over -the -shoulder review at the preliminary stage of the design so that we have considered other design elements that may enhance the project. Our quality management procedures see that: • Work is performed by qualified personnel • The necessary information is documented, checked, transmitted and reviewed for completeness • Documents will be reviewed by the appropriate technical staff for constructability and accuracy • Products are reviewed by staff not involved in the project to provide fresh perspective and insight Primary Design Production Team W - W Cr Technical Editor W uJ > > w J Project Manager W 3 _ W 's Principal -in -Charge M J Lu > w J _ Client Project Manager ALTA PLANNING + DESIGN, INC.
