The grant wit! involve resurfacing, guardrail installation, signage, and widening for the 0.9 mile section of Cedar Drive. ROW Category There are a total of 5 parcels that may need additional ROW. as shown on the attached map #Cedar Drive Parcels#, along with the table #Cedar Drive # Approximate ROW Areas# that details the amount of ROW that may be necessary. Four of the parcels are private, and the fifth is owned by the Division of Parks and Recreation (DOPR). Estimates for ROW are based upon the 2011 Land Value Assessment from the Eagle County Assessors Office. It is assumed that an additional 10# -20# of ROW maybe needed from these 4 private parcels beyond the existing ROW (40#) as shown on the plats and legal descriptions. This is probably a generous amount and it is anticipated that the actual amount of ROW required from these four parcels will be less. Engineering Category This is based upon the overall construction costs as an assumed 5.0% of total construction costs <( >, <)> including plan preparation, construction document creation, and all associated design meetings and coordination. Construction management and testing includes actual management of the project, plus any geotechnical testing of materials or existing site conditions encountered during design and construction. Construction Category Construction is assumed to consist of road resurfacing, guardrail installation, additional warning signage<( >, <)> and widening where appropriate for lane pulloffs. Traffic control and an alternative access is also included as a preferred method of being able to divert traffic from Cedar Drive onto an alternative route to maximize constructabiiity. • M . r - N O 11) O LL O l O O a) O 9-- O Z `o II '1. , ' ' ' '''''' ' ' ''''' : ''''' M:,..., „..,.'"

Required by 23 CFR 635.112 Page 1 of 1 34. EXHIBIT G — DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS ENTERPRISE SECTION 1. Policy. It is the policy of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) that disadvantaged business enterprises shall have the maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts financed in whole or in part with Federal funds under this agreement, pursuant to 49 CFR Part 23. Consequently, the 49 CFR Part IE DBE requirements the Colorado Department of Transportation DBE Program (or a Local Agency DBE Program approved in advance by the State) apply to this agreement. SECTION 2. DBE Obligation. The recipient or its the Local Agency agrees to ensure that disadvantaged business enterprises as determined by the Office of Certification at the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies have the maximum opportunity to participate in the performance of contracts and subcontracts financed in whole or in part with Federal funds provided under this agreement. In this regard. all participants or contractors shall take all necessary and reasonable steps in accordance with the CDOT DBE program (or a Local Agency DBE Program approved in advance by the State) to ensure that disadvantaged business enterprises have the maximum opportunity to compete for and perform contracts. Recipients and their contractors shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, or sex in the award and performance of CDOT assisted contracts. SECTION 3 DBE Program. The Local Agency (sub - recipient) shall be responsible for obtaining the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program of the Colorado Department of Transportation, 1988, as amended, and shall comply with the applicable provisions of the program. (If applicable). A copy of the DBE Program is available from and will be mailed to the Local Agency upon request: Business Programs Office 1 Colorado Department of Transportation 4201 East Arkansas Avenue, Room 287 Denver, Colorado 80222 -3400 Phone: (303) 757 -9234 revised 1/22/98 Required by 49 CFR Part 23.41 Page 1 of 1 35. EXHIBIT H — LOCAL AGENCY PROCEDURES FOR CONSULTANT SERVICES THE LOCAL AGENCY SHALL USE THESE PROCEDURES TO IMPLEMENT FEDERAL -AID PROJECT AGREEMENTS WITH PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANT SERVICES Title 23 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 172 applies to a federally funded local agency project agreement administered by CDOT that involves professional consultant services. 23 CFR 172.1 states "The policies and procedures involve federally funded contracts for engineering and design related services for projects subject to the provisions of 23 U.S.C. 112(a) and are issued to ensure that a qualified consultant is obtained through an equitable selection process, that prescribed work is properly accomplished in a timely manner, and at fair and reasonable cost" and according to 23 CFR 172.5 "Price shall not be used as a factor in the analysis and selection phase." Therefore, local agencies must comply with these CFR requirements when obtaining professional consultant services under a federally funded consultant contract administered by CDOT. CDOT has formulated its procedures in Procedural Directive (P.D.) 400.1 and the related operations guidebook titled "Obtaining Professional Consultant Services ". This directive and guidebook incorporate requirements from both Federal and State regulations, i.e., 23 CFR 172 and CRS §24 -30 -1401 et seq. Copies of the directive and the guidebook may be obtained upon request from CDOT's Agreements and Consultant Management Unit. [Local agencies should have their own written procedures on file for each method of procurement that addresses the items in 23 CFR 172]. Because the procedures and laws described in the Procedural Directive and the guidebook are quite lengthy, the subsequent steps serve as a short -hand guide to CDOT procedures that a local agency must follow in obtaining professional consultant services. This guidance follows the format of 23 CFR 172. The steps are: 1. The contracting local agency shall document the need for obtaining professional services. 2. Prior to solicitation for consultant services, the contracting local agency shall develop a detailed scope of work and a list of evaluation factors and their relative importance. The evaluation factors are those identified in C.R.S. 24 -30 -1403. Also, a detailed cost estimate should be prepared for use during negotiations. 3. The contracting agency must advertise for contracts in conformity with the requirements of C.R.S. 24 -30 -1405. The public notice period, when such notice is required, is a minimum of 15 days prior to the selection of the three most qualified firms and the advertising should be done in one or more daily newspapers of general circulation. 4. The request for consultant services should include the scope of work, the evaluation factors and their relative importance, the method of payment, and the oal of 10% for Disadvantaged 9 g Business Enterprise (DBE) participation as a minimum for the project. 5. The analysis and selection of the consultants shall be done in accordance with CRS §24 -30- 1403. This section of the regulation identifies the criteria to be used in the evaluation of CDOT pre - qualified prime consultants and their team. It also shows which criteria are used to short - list and to make a final selection. The short -list is based on the following evaluation factors: a. Qualifications, b. Approach to the Work, c. Ability to furnish professional services. d. Anticipated design concepts, and Page 1 of 2 e. Alternative methods of approach for furnishing the professional services. Evaluation factors for final selection are the consultant's: a. Abilities of their personnel, b. Past performance, c. Willingness to meet the time and budget requirement, d. Location, e. Current and projected work Toad, f. Volume of previously awarded contracts, and g. Involvement of minority consultants. 6. Once a consultant is selected, the local agency enters into negotiations with the consultant to obtain a fair and reasonable price for the anticipated work. Pre- negotiation audits are prepared for contracts expected to be greater than $50,000. Federal reimbursements for costs are limited to those costs allowable under the cost principles of 48 CFR 31. Fixed fees (profit) are determined with consideration given to size, complexity, duration, and degree of risk involved in the work. Profit is in the range of six to 15 percent of the total direct and indirect costs. 7. A qualified local agency employee shall be responsible and in charge of the Work to ensure that the work being pursued is complete, accurate, and consistent with the terms, conditions, and specifications of the contract. At the end of Work, the local agency prepares a performance evaluation (a CDOT form is available) on the consultant. 8. Each of the steps listed above is to be documented in accordance with the provisions of 49 CFR 18.42, which provide for records to be kept at least three years from the date that the local agency submits its final expenditure report. Records of projects under litigation shall be kept at least three years after the case has been settled. CRS § §24 -30 -1401 through 24 -30 -1408, 23 CFR Part 172, and P.D. 400.1, provide additional details for complying with the preceeding eight (8) steps. Page 2 of 2 36.
