ERO 2 Resources Cvrparalhori ERO RESOURCES CORPORATION SCOPE OF WORK FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES NEALE AVENUE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT CITY OF ASPEN DECEMBER 19,2012 BACKGROUND DHM Design (Client) has requested that ERO Resources Corporation (ERO) submit a proposal to conduct a natural resource assessment for the City of Aspen's proposed Neale Avenue improvement project(project). The project area includes a natural area of riparian floodplain adjacent to a reach of stream of stream that is regulated under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The purpose of the assessment is to identify natural resource permitting issues, including issues associated with wetlands,threatened and endangered species, migratory birds, and other natural resources protected by state, county or City regulations. Based on our current knowledge of the project area, ERO anticipates the proposed work would require a wetland delineation, and depending on project design,possibly a Section 404 Nationwide Permit(NWP) from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). The project must also comply with the Endangered Species Act(ESA) by ensuring the project does not have significant adverse effects on threatened or endangered species. Based on our current knowledge of the project area, ERO does not believe potential habitat for threatened or endangered species is present. ERO will perform the following tasks to address permitting issues that may be encountered. Task 1. Site Visit A qualified ERO ecologist will delineate all wetlands, open waters, and channels along the stream and other areas within the project area that may be under Corps jurisdiction pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Wetlands will be delineated following the methods in the revised online version of the Corps' Wetland Delineation Manual (1987) and appropriate regional supplement. Open water and channels will be determined based on the presence of an ordinary high water mark as defined in 33 CFR Part 328. ERO will map the boundaries of wetlands, open water, and channels to I FEU Reso�,;;rtes Cez�arUli�n m „ , k a a T C ;z• € „Vaj, "� loch• 5� "i $ �`.k I � r,Nl , ate ` s re i a MAX z a u g i r � 1�� t s, ,:�. ,:�5- � � 1 - �`� :a'�''� �; •:€ �`' � �" fix, �� ;,ty �x-r.` JEFFRFYTUTTLF Field Surveying and Right of Way Documents PLS T SO-: REGISTRATION AND PROFESSIONAL AFFILIATIONS Professional Licensed Surveyor in the State of Colorado EXPERIENCE April,2000-Present Started Tuttle Surveying Services Inc.

DHM Design ' 27 FEEINTRO The DHM Design/JR Engineering Team have drawn on our substantial past teaming experience,our recent work experience on Mill Street,and our understanding of the high level of service that the City of Aspen and the Aspen community expects for City public projects to arrive at our proposed fee for the Neale Avenue Improvements Project. We are also intimately familiar with the execution of a public process in the City of Aspen and that this results in substantial,additional process,product, and related fee than may be typical of an engineering project elsewhere;it is clear that the City values this process and requires the process be thorough and genuine. We recognize that our proposed fee exceeds the established target budget. We have worked diligently as a team to"sharpen our pencils"and seek ways to control our fee without compromising the quality of the product or process that we will deliver to the City. As such,we have re-arranged our team format to realize efficiencies in project management, proposed adjustments to the delivery of the process and associated products,and clearly defined our tasks and deliverable products. We are glad to revisit our scope of work and fee should our assumptions be out of alignment with the needs of the Engineering Department,the City of Aspen,and the public.

DHM Design I - t g � PROJECT APPROACH AND SCOPE OF WORK At this time,we believe we have accurately identified the elements and critical issues of this project. We are familiar with the site and the neighborhood.We have drawn from our current experience at N.Mill Street to understand clearly the expectations of the City and community for a project of this type. As such,we have proposed several alterations to the project scope of work in a way that-we believe-will help control soft costs while preserving a genuine public process and providing appropriate information and time to allow us to deliver high quality illustrative and technical products. Although these assumptions and proposed alterations will not,in our opinion,compromise the process orthe products, we will be happy to review and revise our scope and fee should we be the successful proposing team,and should the City determine that any of our recommendations are not appropriate for this project. Our proposed scope and work plan,outlined below,is broken into phases matching the RFP document. We've added a"pre-phase"Project Start-Up/ Pre-Design,which captures the front-end work identified in several areas throughout the RFP document. Neale Avenue Improvement Project We understand from the RFP,the Pre-Submittal Meeting,and our own site familiarity that there are numerous challenges associated with stormwater management in the project area. The project includes pipe outlets that are(nearly)directly connected to the river,providing very little water quality or first-flush control. On the west side of the street,the gutter daylights directly into the pedestrian crosswalk/Herron Parks,' access portion of the Rio Grande Trail,creating an unsafe ` and inconvenient condition. Our team will build upon the @� ongoing efforts of the Smuggler/Hunter Creek Drainage Master Plan,using the survey and hydraulic information created for that study to inform our existing conditions and design parameters. We will seek ways to creatively resolve the existing deficiencies in the system,looking first to manage and cleanse the stormwater using surface and non-mechanical means but with the understanding that our project area is limited. During our independent site visit we identified the Proctor Open Space,east of the project area,as an opportunity to provide stormwater quality as well as to disconnect the existing pipe outlets from the river bank. This effort would expand the project area and could take many forms. In the simplest form the basic grading and revegetation of a meandering channel on this open space may be appropriate. Broader opportunities may include teaming with the Parks and Recreation Department to develop a more comprehensive wetland system to manage storm. outflows and improve water quality. We have not included this additional design,coordination,and documentation in our scope and fee but would be excited to explore this opportunity with City staff. x , DHM Design '' traffic lane.

DRAINAGE D E S I G I V AND STORMWATER QUALITY Ourteam recognizes the importance of the project location relative to water quality. We are committed to seeking creative,sustainable,functional solutions to stormwater quantity/quality and bring a great deal of experience in identifying appropriate BMPs,have a strong understanding of the letter and intent of the City's URMP,and maintain strong working relationships with the City Engineering and Parks and Recreation departments which situates us well to identify and execute a progressive stormwater management program. TRAFFIC SPEED & . , M PACTS ON SAFETY Traffic descends steep grades coming into the project area >, from the north and the south. It is our anecdotal observation that traffic speeds are greatest right at the pedestrian crossing,as visibility opens up and the pavement widens along the Herron Park parking area. Our team will look at the most efficient and effective ways of slowing the traffic to an appropriate speed(the current speed limit is typically exceeded),increase visibility of pedestrians to motorists, and identify implementation measures that are inexpensive to maintain while maintaining the functional use of Neale Avenue as a major vehicle connection across the RoaringrF Fork River in Aspen. Neale Avenue Improvement Project The project objectives also dovetail nicely with the tenets In reviewing the Request for Proposal and observing the site of creating a Complete Street. Although the Neale Avenue conditions,we have identified the following critical issues Improvement Project in and of itself will not result in the that must be addressed in completing the project. reconfiguration of an entire street corridor,the guiding PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT principles for Complete Streets can and should still be considered and applied — balance user groups while It is clear that the City of Aspen values the public process,and continuing to provide functional traffic flows, implement requires a carefully conceived,genuine and responsive effort strategies to legitimize and encourage non-automobile to collect community input and refine design approaches users, use green space to increase comfort and safety of based on the community's input.

Additionally,the crosswalk is situated such that there is very little visibility of east-bound pedestrians to south-bound vehicular traffic. Furthermore,pedestrian traffic in and around the parking area requires that pedestrians walk behind parked cars,between the parked cars and the DHM Design PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH •k , PROJECT UNDERSTANDING Improving"convenience, safety and quality of experience for bicyclists and pedestrians on streets and trails"is a stated goal of the Aspen Area Community Plan as adopted in February of 2012.
