contract with a subcontractor who knowingly hires with an illegal alien to perform work

EXHIBIT A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT
Scope of Work (SOW)
This agreement for services for the SHIFT project encompasses:
1. Project support on behalf of, and as specified by,the City Project Manager
2. Collection of data for use in the SHIFT project
3 . Task order approach for verifying, modifying and executing work under this agreement
The approach taken to the agreement includes this general scope of work, supplemented by
more specific and detailed Task Orders, which must be jointly agreed upon in writing prior to
undertaking said work. Further, the general scope is intended to provide the full set of services
requested in the Data Support and Data Collection RFPs, as outlined in the professional's
proposals and more directly highlighted here. To that end, the following documents are
hereby incorporated by reference into this agreement:
1. City of Aspen Data Support RFP 2018-013
2. City of Aspen Data Collection RFP 2018-017
3. HDR Engineering Data Support Proposal, submitted to the City on 2/28/2018
4. HDR Engineering Data Collection Proposal, submitted to the City on 3/12/2018
A lack of detail in this general scope of work does not give permission to exclude key
requirements of the RFPs or to exclude commitments made in the proposals. Rather, it is
intended to provide flexibility in the details of implementing the commitments, allowing for
adjustments in the SHIFT project focus.
PART 1: DATA SUPPORT TASKS
Data support refers generally to those tasks outlined in the professional's Data Support Proposal, as
described in Exhibit D. An outline of included tasks is provided below. In the event this SOW omits a
task,the Proposal shall be considered the primary document unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by
both parties in writing.
1. Develop and implement the SHIFT Data Group Project Management Plan
Collaborate with the SHIFT Data Group to craft a Project Management Plan for the data-related
aspects of the SHIFT project. The plan shall include at least the following elements:
✓ The mission, vision and goals for the data-related project management components of
the SHIFT project
✓ The overall project management assistance approach
✓ Tasks, roles and responsibilities, detailing which project management, data collection,
data analysis and other tasks the City will undertake and which the professional will
undertake
✓ A communication plan, detailing how and when key stakeholders will be kept apprised
of project status and needs
Agreement Professional Services Page 10
✓ A chart of accountabilities (similar to a RACI chart) for those involved with data
collection and management, including City staff, mobility service providers, project
partners, and the database management consultant
✓ A task list and timeline for data-related tasks for the SHIFT project
✓ Project deliverables list
✓ How and when status updates will be provided to the Data Group
This task includes participation, either in person or remotely, in meetings of the Data Group, as
well as a meeting with SHIFT project leaders to verify the mission, vision and objectives of the
project. Typically, Data Group meetings will be held twice a month. However, during peak
work periods, they may be more frequent. In addition, this task includes providing Data Group
with meeting summaries, updates and tracking of tasks against the project plan, and
collaboration with data providers.
Primary Deliverables:
• Kickoff meeting with the Data Group, SHIFT project leadership team, and key contacts
• Project Management Plan, including tools mentioned above
• Status Updates
• Meeting Attendance
• Completion of agreed upon project management tasks
2. Develop and implement a SHIFT Evaluation Plan
The purpose of the Evaluation Plan is to determine how to gauge the success of the SHIFT
project comprehensively, as reflected in data collected during the project by the professional
and by other SHIFT project vendors. Evaluation Plan development will be based on the SHIFT
project's overarching mission, vision, goals and objectives, as well as the more specific goals
and objectives of the Data Group. The Evaluation Plan will guide tasks such as data collection,
data analysis, and summary reporting. The evaluation plan will include the measures by which
the goals and objectives will be assessed, based on a refined understanding of the linkages
between the SHIFT project goals and available data. Metrics and measurement categories will
be finalized during development of this plan.
Primary Deliverables:
• Evaluation Plan
• Status reports on execution of evaluation plan (may be included with project status
report from Tasks 1.1)
3. Develop and implement a SHIFT Data Collection Plan
The SHIFT project will collect data from a wide variety of sources, ranging from City staff and
contractors, to mobility service providers, to project partners (for example, an incentive app
provider) who collect data to encourage participation in and/or to assess the success of the
project. The purpose of the Data Collection Plan is to identify those data elements needed to
execute the Evaluation Plan, and the means of collecting, storing, scrubbing, and assuring the
quality control of the data. The data collection plan will identify the quantity, type, source, and
Agreement Professional Services Page 11
location of data to include as a part of the evaluation of the SHIFT project. This may involve
identification of new, as yet anticipated, data collection options and/or scaling back of some
existing data collection expectations. The Data Collection Plan will also include determination
of the appropriate resolution of the data, such as the number of days of collection, time splits,
and other factors influencing the complexity, cost and quality of data collection. As with the
Evaluation Plan, the Data Collection Plan will include data elements from all SHIFT partners,
including but going beyond the direct data collection work of the professional.
The Data Collection Plan may further identify the anticipated methods of analysis, which will
affect data quantity and sample size needs. Coordination will be necessary with mobility
service providers, other project stakeholders, and the SHIFT project database vendor.
Note: This Data Collection Plan focuses on the identification and management of specified data
associated with the SHIFT project. It does not supplant or supercede the specific field data
collection activities by the professional as described in Part 2.
Primary Deliverables:
• SHIFT Data Collection Plan
• Status reports on execution of evaluation plan (may be included with project status
report from Tasks 1.1)
4. Collaborate with other SHIFT groups and staff
Project management for the data-related portions of the SHIFT project is inherently connected
to the broader goals and activities of the project. The City has hired other vendors and has
involved other staff, beyond the Data Group, to develop an outreach program, partner with
vendors, refine goals and objectives, collect data, and conduct certain other activities. As
requested by the City Project Manager, the professional will participate in meetings and events
with such vendors and staff, to assure clarity and coordination regarding their activities and the
activities and focus of the Data Group
Primary Deliverables:
• Meeting attendance with key stakeholders

PART 2: HDR-SPECIFIC DATA COLLECTION TASKS
Data collection in this section refers to those tasks described in the Professional's Data
Collection proposal, Exhibit E. An outline of included HDR-specific data collection tasks is
provided below. In the event this SOW omits a task, the proposal shall be considered the
primary document unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by both parties in writing. This set
of tasks provides some, but not all, of the data being collected for the SHIFT project and
discussed in Part 1 above.
1. Confirm Data Collection Locations
This SOW includes 9 physical locations for data collection by the professional. The professional
will collaborate with the Data Team to discuss and confirm the data collection locations, based
on the SHIFT goals and objectives and locational characteristics. The professional will produce
a map of collection locations as a deliverable for this task, to be approved by the City Project
Manager.
Deliverables:
• Location Agreement Document and Map
2. Confirm Data Collection Approach
Baseline/control: The full baseline year data collection has been withdrawn from the project.
However, the professional will collaborate with the Data Team to identify whether and how to
collect data on a smaller scale, such that control data is available. This may include volumes on
roadways before or after the lab is executed for instance.
Data points: This task involves verifying the specific data points to be collected by the
professional at each location, or in the case of origin/destination information, for each
segment.
Resolution: This task includes determination of the appropriate resolution of the data
collected by the professional, such as the number of days of collection, time splits, and other
factors influencing the complexity, cost and quality of data collection. A document outlining
the data resolution will be produced for approval by the Data Team.
Data Collection Methods and Equipment: At the locations agreed to in Task 2.1 above, the
professional will use the methods and equipment agreed to in Table 1 below. Changes to this
data collection scheme may be made by written agreement by the parties. The specific data
points to be collected will be determined as a part of this task.

Data collection approach and timing: During the project, the professional will collaborate with
the city to finalize when, where and how any equipment needed for this set of tasks will be
placed and removed. At a minimum, data will be collected on Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
on a 24-hour basis, during the months of the SHIFT project, unless otherwise mutually agreed
upon in writing. The data shall be collected 24 hours a day during those dates, with the data
aggregated on an hourly basis.
As well the professional will collaborate with the city to finalize survey instruments, survey
sampling and execution methods, and survey analysis expectations. Finally, the professional
will collaborate with the city to determine how the data collected will be integrated with the
central project database.
Data collection results: The professional will provide the results of the data collection to the
City in a summary document. In addition, the contractor will provide the results to the
Database vendor in the format needed to upload the information to the central database, and
according to the schedule needed for the lab (at least weekly uploads).
Key Deliverables:
• Final HDR-specific data collection plan for the information professional is collecting
directly
• Final survey instruments, execution plans and analysis plans
• Methods for uploading the collected data to the central database
• Completion of tasks to upload the data to the central database
