Conditions to by modified:
2. To the owner’s agreement to abide by the following:
a. To the revised site plan received by the Department of Environment and
Community Development on September 23, 2005 Community Development
Department on September 2, 2008. Said site plan is conceptual only and
must meet or exceed the requirements of the Zoning Resolution Ordinance
and these conditions prior to the approval of a Land Disturbance Permit.
Unless otherwise noted herein, compliance with all conditions shall be in
place prior to the issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy.
4. To the owner’s agreement to abide by the following traffic requirements,
dedications and improvements:
b. Dedicate to Fulton County the necessary right-of-way to provide a
connector road from Broadwell Road to Mid-Broadwell Road prior to
obtaining a Land Disturbance Permit or as may be approved by the Director
of the Department of Public Works. The location of the road is subject to the
approval of the Director of the Department of Public Works.
ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The subject site is located on the western side of Mid-Broadwell Road in the Crabapple
Crossroads Overlay District near the intersection of Mid-Broadwell Road and Mayfield
Road. The site is zoned C-1 (Community Business) and is approved for the development of
12,800 square feet of retail, service commercial, office and accessory uses at a density of
9,411.77 square feet per acre, pursuant to 2005Z-072/2005VC-160 NFC. The applicant’s
submitted site plan shows a total of 12,800 square feet.
Deletion of Condition 4.b.
The existing Condition 4.b. of Z05-072, as approved by Fulton County on December 7,
2005 requires that the owner dedicate to Fulton County (City of Milton) the necessary
right-of-way to provide a connector road from Broadwell Road to Mid-Broadwell Road
prior to attaining an LDP, or as may be approved by the Director of Public Works.
The Crabapple Community Plan is a part of the City’s Comprehensive Plan and the
Transportation Master Plan. One goal of these planning studies is to create many
vehicular and pedestrian connection options around the Crabapple Crossroads.
The City currently has a programmed project and Federal funding with GDOT for a
Mayfield to Mid Broadwell connector road. The City will look at the Crabapple area as a
whole with the Comprehensive plan and the Transportation master plan and will evaluate
the scope of the GDOT project with these planning studies.
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Mayor and City Council Meeting October 20, 2008

Road classifications are based upon access and mobility. The right-of-way is based upon
the road classification. A connector road at this location would provide mobility from Mid-
Broadwell to Broadwell as the primary function and access to properties as a minor
function. An alley is not an appropriate road classification for the purpose of this
connection.
Public Works provided to the applicant, a connector road layout and required right-of-
way dedication incorporating existing right-of-way dedicated by Davenport Commercial
property and using a portion of the community center property adjacent to an existing
utility easement on the community center property. This layout included the minimum
amount of right-of-way (50 feet) allowed based on classifications.
Public Works recommends that the condition remain and that the 50 feet right-of-way is
required. If at the completion of the Comprehensive plan and the Transportation master
plan, this location is not supported, the right-of-way could be deeded back to the owner.
PROPOSED ROAD LOCATION

Mayor and City Council Meeting October 20, 2008

PROPOSED RIGHT-OF-WAY
Based on above analysis, Staff recommends DENIAL to delete Condition 4.b. of Z05-072.
ZM08-06/VC08-06 – Revised Site Plan and Reduction in Parking Spaces (Article18. 2.1)
The applicant’s site plan indicates a total of 39 parking spaces. The City of Milton Zoning
Ordinance requires a total of 58 parking spaces (Article 18. 2.1). Staff notes that the
applicant is requesting a concurrent variance to reduce the required number of parking
spaces from 58 to 39 parking spaces. Based on the location of the required right-of-way
on the site which limits the area to locate the parking, by granting the relief would be in
harmony with the approved site plan by the Board of Commissioners and the general
purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance and the Crabapple Crossroads Plan.
Therefore, Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL OF VC08-06.
The proposed site plan is consistent with the approved site plan pursuant to Z05-072 with
the same number of proposed buildings with similar locations. The most significant
Prepared by the Community Development Department for the
Mayor and City Council Meeting October 20, 2008
Page 8 of 11
change is the location and number of parking spaces based on the requirement to
provide right-of-way as discussed above. Therefore, Staff recommends that the request to
revise condition 2.a. be APPROVAL CONDITIONAL.

The site plan below depicts the specimen trees that will be affected on the site. They
include the following:

CONCLUSION
Staff is of the opinion that the applicant’s request to reduce parking and revise the site
plan is in harmony with the development approved by the Board of Commissioners, as
well as with the general purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance. Therefore, Staff
recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL of ZM08-06 to modify Condition 2.a. and the
request to reduce parking, Concurrent Variance VC08-06. Based on Staff’s analysis
regarding the deletion of Condition 4.b, and that it would be inconsistent with the
Crabapple Crossroads Plan, Staff recommends DENIAL.

Minimum lot size: 13,000 square feet
Minimum lot width at building line: 90 feet
Minimum front yard: 20 feet
Minimum side yard: 10 feet except for lot #86 (12659 Itaska Walk) shall be 4
feet.
Minimum side corner yard: 5 feet
Minimum rear yard: 15 feet with alley access, 7 feet with non-alley access
Minimum heated floor area: 2,500 square feet
Analysis and Recommendation
The applicant is requesting a reduction to the perimeter setback (rear) and the side yard
setback for a storage shed. There is a wooden privacy fence along all the interior
property lines. The adjacent property owner affected to the north (side yard) the most is
in support of the applicant’s request to reduce the setbacks. The property to the east is
designated as “open space” on the plat for Phase 3 of Crabapple Crossroads.
It appears that there is no negative impact on the adjacent property owners and that the
privacy fence provides additional screening of the building, Staff recommends APPROVAL
CONDITIONAL of ZM08-06.

governments – to insure that public officials be independent, impartial, and responsible

the proper channels of the governmental structure, that public office not be used for
personal gain, and, especially, that the public have confidence in the integrity of its
government and its officials.

by the Board of Ethics upon good cause shown. The response of the City
Official or Employee must be supported by affidavits based on personal
knowledge, must set forth such facts as would be admissible in evidence,
18
and must show affirmatively that the affiant is competent to testify to the
matters stated therein. All documents referred to in an affidavit(s) should
be attached to the affidavit(s). The respondent shall verify the response
by his or her signature thereon, which shall be notarized.
(F) Within sixty (60) days of the determination by the Chair that the complaint
meets the requirements of Section 12(B) and (C) above, unless such time
is extended by the Board of Ethics upon good cause shown, the Board of
Ethics shall convene a meeting to conduct an initial review to determine
whether specific substantiated evidence from a credible source(s) exists to
support a reasonable belief that there has been a violation of this
Ordinance.
(G) If after reviewing the complaint and response the Board of Ethics by vote
determines that no specific, substantiated evidence from a credible
source(s) exists to support a reasonable belief that there has been a
violation of this Ordinance or determines that no violation occurred as a
matter of applying the facts alleged and accepted as true to the terms of
the Ordinance, the Board of Ethics may dismiss the complaint without
further proceedings. In the event a complaint is dismissed pursuant to this
Paragraph, the complaint may not be re-filed.
(H) If the Board of Ethics determines that specific, substantiated evidence
from a credible source(s) exists to support a reasonable belief that there
has been a violation of this Ordinance, written notice of a hearing,
containing the time, date, and place of such hearing, shall be sent to each
party by the Board of Ethics by certified mail, return receipt requested, and
a formal public hearing shall be conducted and both parties afforded an
opportunity to be heard.
(I) Any formal public hearing shall be conducted in accordance with the
requirements of due process. The Board of Ethics is authorized to
administer oaths and to issue subpoenas when requested to do so by the
parties to the complaint.
(J) Subpoenas.
Any request for a subpoena made by a party to the Board of Ethics shall
be made at least five (5) business days prior to the hearing date, and shall
state the names and addresses for whom the subpoenas are to be issued
and the date and time for the witnesses to appear. Any party requesting a
subpoena shall also notify the opposing party in writing as to whom the
subpoenas will be issued. A failure to provide such notification or to timely
request a subpoena under this Paragraph may result in a waiver of the
right to subpoena such witness
19
The Board of Ethics adopts O.C.G.A. § 45-20-9 (c), which specifies as
follows:
“Subpoenas shall be issued without discrimination
between public and private parties. When a
subpoena is disobeyed, any party may apply to the
superior court of the county where the hearing is
being held for an order requiring obedience. Failure
to comply with such order shall be cause for
punishment as for contempt of court. The costs of
securing the attendance of witnesses, including fees
and mileage, shall be computed and assessed in the
same manner as prescribed by law in civil cases in
the superior court. Once issued a subpoena may be
quashed by the Board of Ethics or an administrative
law judge if it appears that the subpoena was used
primarily as a means of harassment, that the
testimony or documents sought are cumulative, that
the testimony or documents sought are not relevant,
that the testimony or documents sought are not
material, that to respond to the subpoena would be
unduly burdensome, or that for other good reasons
basic fairness dictates that the subpoena should not
be enforced.”
Each party shall be individually responsible for the costs of securing the
attendance of the subpoenaed witness, including the costs of fees and
mileage as applicable, and shall be individually responsible for service of
the subpoena.
It is intended that O.C.G.A. § 24-10-24 shall apply to require twenty-five
dollars ($25.00) per diem as a witness fee for any witnesses who are not
City Employees. City Employees shall not be entitled to receive a witness
fee during hours in which they are being paid by the City for performance
of job duties. Additionally, if a witness resides outside the City, O.C.G.A. §
24-10-24 will apply to require the twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per diem
witness fee and twenty cents ($.20) per mile for travel expenses as a
condition for appearance. Consistent with O.C.G.A. § 24-10-24, any
subpoenas issued on behalf of the City will not require payment of the
above-states fees. If applicable, O.C.G.A. § 12-10-27 shall govern
issuance of subpoenas to off-duty law enforcement officers.
(K) Any final determination resulting from the hearing shall include written
findings of fact and conclusions of law. The Board of Ethics shall
determine if clear and convincing evidence shows any violation of this
Ordinance.
20
Section Thirteen. Disciplinary Action.
(A) Upon a determination that an Employee has violated this Ordinance, the
Board of Ethics may recommend the following penalties and actions:
(1) Written warning or reprimand;
(2) Suspension without pay;
(3) Termination of employment; and
(4) Repayment to the City of any unjust enrichment.
(B) Upon a determination that a City Official has violated this Ordinance, the
Board of Ethics may recommend to the Mayor and City Council the
following penalties and actions:
(1) Written warning, censure, or reprimand;
(2) Removal from office to the extent provided by Georgia law; and
(3) Repayment to the City of any unjust enrichment.
(C) In addition to any other remedy provided herein, upon determination of a
violation of this Ordinance, the Board of Ethics may recommend to the
City Council in writing that any contract, bid, or change order that was the
subject of the violation should be cancelled or rescinded. The City
Council, however, shall retain the discretion to determine whether such a
cancellation or rescission would be in the best interest of the City and shall
not be bound in any way by a recommendation of the Board of Ethics.
(D) The Board of Ethics may also forward its findings of fact and conclusions
of law to the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office and/or the Office of
the Governor for appropriate action.
Section Fourteen. Judicial Review.
(A) Any party against whom a decision of the Board of Ethics is rendered may
obtain judicial review of the decision by writ of certiorari to the Superior
Court of Fulton County. The application for the writ must be filed within
thirty (30) days from the date of the written decision. Judicial review shall
be based upon the record. No party shall be entitled to a de novo appeal.
(B) Upon failure to timely request judicial review of the decision by writ of
certiorari as provided in this section, the decision shall be binding and final
upon all parties.
21
Section Fifteen. Ex Parte Communications.
(A) After a complaint has been filed and during the pendency of a complaint
before the Board of Ethics, no member of the Board of Ethics may
communicate directly or indirectly with any party or other person about any
issue of fact or laws regarding the complaint, except as follows:
(1) The members of the Board of Ethics may obtain legal advice from
the City Attorney and may discuss the complaint with any staff
provided to the Board of Ethics by the City Council; and
(2) The members of the Board of Ethics may discuss the complaint at a
lawfully conducted meeting; and
(3) If any person attempts to communicate with a Board of Ethics
member regarding the pending complaint, the Board of Ethics
member shall report the substance of the communication to the
Board of Ethics on the public record at the next meeting or hearing
of the Board of Ethics.
(B) No Board of Ethics member shall undertake an independent investigation
of any complaint or matter before the Board of Ethics.
Section Sixteen. Confidentiality of Board of Ethics Information.
No member of the Board of Ethics, nor any public servant who has access to any
confidential information related to the functions or activities of the Board of Ethics, shall
divulge that information to any person not authorized to have it.
Section Seventeen. Wrongful Use of the Board of Ethics.
The purpose of the Board of Ethics is to endeavor to maintain a high standard of
ethical behavior by City Officials and Employees. This will be most effective when City
Officials, Employees, and citizens work together to set and maintain high ethical
standards. Complaints directed to the Board of Ethics must be based on fact and have
the intent to improve the ethical climate of the City. Individuals directing unfounded,
frivolous, false, or politically motivated complaints to the Board of Ethics may be subject
to penalties including, but not limited to, dismissal of the complaint, public reprimand,
criminal prosecution for perjury, and/or payment of costs and attorney’s fees associated
with the handling and processing of the Complaint. Other penalties may be imposed by
the Board of Ethics for the wrongful use of the Ethics Ordinance.
22
Section Eighteen. Wrongful Use of the Ethics Ordinance.
(A) A wrongful use of the Ethics Ordinance shall occur if and when a frivolous
or false complaint is filed in a negligent, reckless, or purposeful manner
without a basis in law or fact and for purpose other than reporting a
violation of this Ordinance. A person has not filed a frivolous complaint if
he/she reasonably believes that facts exist to support the claim and either
reasonably believes that under those facts the complaint is valid under this
Ordinance or acts upon the advice of counsel sought in good faith and
given after full disclosure of all relevant facts within his/her knowledge and
information.
(B) In deciding if a complaint is a “Wrongful Use of the Code of Ethics,” the
Board of Ethics shall also consider the following, without limitation:
(1) The timing of the complaint with respect to when the facts
supporting the alleged violation became known or should have
become known to the complainant, and with respect to the date of
any pending election in which the respondent is a candidate or is
involved with a candidacy, if any;
(2) The nature and type of any publicity surrounding the filing of the
complaint, and the degree of participation by the complainant in
publicizing the fact that a complaint was filed with the Board of
Ethics;
(3) The existence and nature of any relationship between the
respondent and the complainant before the complaint was filed;
(4) If respondent is a candidate for election to office, the existence and
nature of any relationship between the complainant and any
candidate or group opposing the respondent.
(5) Any evidence that the complainant knew or reasonably should have
known that the allegations in the complaint were groundless; and
(6) Any evidence of the complainant’s motives in filing the complaint.
ARTICLE SIX: MISCELLANEOUS
Section One. Severability.
If any provision of this Ordinance is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be invalid or unconstitutional, or if the application of this Ordinance to any person or
circumstances is found to be invalid or unconstitutional, such invalidity or
23
unconstitutionality shall not affect other provisions or applications of this Ordinance
which can be given effect without the invalid or unconstitutional provision or application.

Milton City Clerk
City of Milton
13000 Deerfield Parkway, Building 100 Milton, Georgia 30004
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Chris Lagerbloom, Acting City Manager
Date: October 9, 2008 for submission onto the October 20, 2008 City Council Meeting
Agenda Item: Approval of a contract between the City of Milton, Georgia and Latta
Enterprises
CMO (City Manager’s Office) Recommendation:
Approve the contract between the City of Milton, Georgia and Latta Enterprises.
Background:
The City of Milton is in the unique position being a new City to address items required by the
Americans with Disabilities Act proactively. Being in the middle of many planning processes,
including but not limited to the Comprehensive Plan, Milton Trail, Web Site Development and
facility accessibility; Milton has a wonderful opportunity to secure the professional services of an
industry expert to walk us through this process.
Discussion:
The City of Milton seeks to be in compliance with current laws and more importantly seeks to
have an open and transparent government to all persons. The scope of services attached
addresses the following components:
Compliance with Federal Law:
• Compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) and other accessibility laws.
o ADA Title II (State and Local Government) has specific administrative requirements.
o UFAS (Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards), a forerunner of ADA from Section
504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, is still utilized as a compliance standard in
some facets of state government. Staff should be aware of it and how it is used.
o Fair Housing Guidelines required when receiving grant funds or tax breaks for
affordable housing.
Creation of a Culture of Universal Accessibility:
• Safe, usable access to participation in all facets of community life for all citizens and visitors
in the City of Milton.
• Incorporation of ADA/Accessibility into all facets of the planning, development, and
operations of the City of Milton.
o As a result, accessibility will be a proactive part of the City of Milton from the
beginning, not a separate issue.
Scope of the Need:
ADA requires accessibility compliance to cover the following four areas.
• Physical/structural access
• Programs and services
City of Milton
13000 Deerfield Parkway, Building 100 Milton, Georgia 30004
• Policies and procedures
• Employment
ADA review for accessibility for people with disabilities must include:
• Physical/mobility disabilities
• Cognitive disabilities.
• Communications disabilities
Desired Outcomes:
• Reduced risk and prevention of costly liability and litigation based on discrimination
against people with disabilities.
• Inclusion of people with disabilities in participation and quality of life.
o From the beginning, ADA compliance and safe usable accessibility should be an
integral part of the City of Milton, making it a beneficial quality environment.
• Cost benefit:
o Including accessibility in all planning creates efficient use of financial and other
resources, at times costing no more than doing it another way.
o Eliminating the need for future retrofitting will save financial resources, which can
be invested in other ways.
Alternatives:
The only viable alternative is to not seek the assistance of a consultant at this time.

SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
This Settlement Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into this 9th day
of October, 2008 by and between Donald Baker and Sue W. Baker (“Bakers”) on the one
hand and the City of Milton Board of Zoning Appeals (“BZA”) and the City of Milton
(“City”) on the other hand. Collectively, all referenced persons and entities are referred to
herein as “Parties.”
WHEREAS the Bakers own property within the limits of the City of Milton at
1470 Redd Road and 1930 Redd Road; and
WHEREAS the Bakers filed an application for a variance (“V07-001”) for
property located at the 1470 Redd Road address consisting of 5.855 acres in Land Lot
0743, Lot No. 034 of the 2nd District of the City of Milton, Fulton County, Georgia (the
“Subject Property”); and
WHEREAS the BZA granted in part and denied in part the requested variance;
and
WHEREAS the Bakers filed in the Superior Court of Fulton County a Petition for
a Writ of Certiorari seeking review of and challenging the BZA’s decisions, styled
Donald and Sue W. Baker v. City of Milton Board of Zoning Appeals, Civil Action File
No. 2007-CV-134515 (the “Lawsuit”); and
WHEREAS the Fulton County Superior Court entered an Order on August 6, 2008
denying the requested Writ of Certiorari and entering judgment in favor of the BZA in
the Lawsuit; and
WHEREAS the Bakers filed an Application for Discretionary Appeal
(“Application”) with the Georgia Supreme Court on September 3, 2008 seeking review of
the August 6, 2008 Order of the Fulton County Superior Court; and
WHEREAS the Georgia Supreme Court denied the Application on October 2,
2008; and
2
WHEREAS the Bakers, though their counsel, sent to the City a letter dated August
1, 2007 purporting to be an ante litem notice pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 36-33-5 outlining
potential claims for damages the Bakers may pursue; and
WHEREAS the Parties still desire and prefer a mutually agreed upon resolution of
the dispute which addresses, in part, certain uses to which the Bakers’ property in the
City may be put and corresponding limitations on said uses;
NOW, THEREFORE, in light of the foregoing and based upon the exchange of
valuable consideration by and between the Parties to this Agreement, the Parties hereby
agree as follows:
1. The Bakers will be allowed to erect up to six (6) additional greenhouses
(the “Additional Greenhouses”) at the Subject Property in alignment with the five (5)
greenhouses existing thereon as of the date of this Agreement. To accommodate these
Additional Greenhouses, the Bakers may encroach 10 feet into the front yard of the
Subject Property. In no event shall these Additional Greenhouses exceed in the aggregate
14,246 square feet nor may any of the Additional Greenhouses exceed 14 feet in height.
The line establishing the 'front yard' shall be as determined by the residence existing on
the Subject Property as of the date of this Agreement. The addition of any future carport
or other structure to the existing residence on the Subject Property shall not extend the
'front yard.' There shall be no less than 8 feet of separation between the existing
greenhouse structure (which is comprised of the five (5) greenhouses presently on the
Subject Property totaling approximately 23,000 square feet) and the Additional
Greenhouses.
2. Further, as to the Subject Property, the Bakers are required to and agree to
implement the July 11, 2007 landscape plan prepared by Garden Architects, Inc. and
submitted to the City.
3. At the Bakers’ property located at the 1930 Redd Road address, the Bakers
will be allowed to remove the two (2) larger greenhouses existing on the property in a
3
generally North-to-South configuration as of the date of this Agreement and may replace
them with up to five (5) smaller greenhouses (the aggregate size of which will be
approximately 13,250 square feet). These five (5) smaller greenhouses shall be placed in
alignment with those remaining greenhouses already existing in a generally East-to-West
configuration on the property as of the date of this Agreement.
4. The BZA and the City agree that the additional greenhouses permitted by
paragraphs 1 and 3 above to be erected shall be exempt from review by the City of
Milton Design Review Board (“DRB”) as would otherwise be required by that portion of
the City of Milton Zoning Ordinance known as the “Northwest Fulton Overlay Zoning
District,” as amended from time to time (the “Northwest Overlay”). Except as described
in the preceding sentence, this accommodation shall not affect or be deemed a waiver of
any other rule or regulation that may otherwise be applicable to any greenhouses to be
erected, including any other rule, regulation, or requirement of the Northwest Overlay.
5. Each of the respective Parties to this Agreement hereby mutually releases
and forever discharges each of the other Parties to this Agreement and all of such Parties’
successors, assigns, agents, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives,
insurers, and attorneys of and from any and all claims, debts, liabilities, demands,

held, or may at any time own or hold against any other Party to this Agreement with
respect to the Lawsuit, including any and all claims identified in that letter to the City
from the Bakers’ attorney dated August 1, 2007. The benefits of this Agreement and the
Release specifically extend to any and all actions taken by any BZA members as
representatives of the City as well as any other representative or agent of the City. This
Agreement does not restrict any Party or any of their assignees from enforcing this
Agreement.

pass upon matters of expertise of the Consultant and that, therefore, the City bears no
responsibility for Consultant’s services performed under this Agreement. The Consultant
acknowledges and agrees that the acceptance of designs, plans, and specifications by the City is
limited to the function of determining whether there has been compliance with what is required
to be produced under this Agreement. The City will not, and need not, inquire into adequacy,
fitness, suitability or correctness of Consultant’s performance. Consultant further agrees that no
approval of designs, plans, or specifications by any person, body or agency shall relieve
Consultant of the responsibility for adequacy, fitness, suitability, and correctness of Consultant’s
professional and industry standards or for performing services under this Agreement in
accordance with sound and accepted professional and industry principals.
D. Consultant’s Reliance of Submissions by the City

erroneous, inconsistent, or otherwise problematic.
E. Consultant’s Representative
Need Name Here shall be authorized to act on Consultant’s behalf with respect to the

approved sub Consultants, the Consultant shall be solely responsible for reimbursing them and
the City shall have no obligation to them.
G. Responsibility of Consultant and Indemnification of City
The Consultant covenants and agrees to take and assume all responsibility for the
services rendered in connection with this Agreement. The Consultant shall bear all losses and
damages directly or indirectly resulting to it on account of the performance or character of the

harmless the City, its officers, boards, commissions, elected officials, employees and agents from
and against any and all claims, suits, actions, liability, judgments, damages, losses, and expenses,
including but not limited to, attorney’s fees, to the extent caused by the willful, negligent or
tortious conduct arising out of the Work, performance of contracted services, or operations by
the Consultant, any sub Consultant, anyone directly or indirectly employed by the Consultant or
sub Consultant or anyone for whose acts the Consultant or sub Consultant may be liable,
regardless of whether or not the offending act is caused in part by a party indemnified hereunder.
5 5
Such obligation shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or otherwise reduce any other right or
obligation of indemnity which would otherwise exist as to any party or person described in this
provision. In any and all claims against the City or any of its agents or employees, by any
employee of the Consultant, any sub Consultant, anyone directly or indirectly employed by the
Consultant or sub Consultant or anyone for whose acts the Consultant or sub Consultant may be
liable, the indemnification obligation set forth in this provision shall not be limited in any way by
any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for the
Consultant or any sub Consultant under workers’ or workmen’s compensation acts, disability
benefit acts or other employee benefit acts. This obligation to indemnify and defend the City, its
members, officers, agents, employees and volunteers shall survive termination of this
Agreement.
H. Independent Consultant
Consultant hereby covenants and declares that it is engaged in an independent business
and agrees to perform the services as an independent Consultant and not as the agent or
employee of the City. The Consultant agrees to be solely responsible for its own matters relating
to the time and place the services are performed; the instrumentalities, tools, supplies and/or
materials necessary to complete the services; hiring of Consultants, agents or employees to
complete the services; and the payment of employees, including compliance with Social
Security, withholding and all other regulations governing such matters. The Consultant agrees to
be solely responsible for its own acts and those of its subordinates, employees, and sub
Consultants during the life of this Agreement. Any provisions of this Agreement that may
appear to give the City the right to direct Consultant as to the details of the services to be
performed by Consultant or to exercise a measure of control over such services will be deemed
to mean that Consultant shall follow the directions of the City with regard to the results of such
services only.

Southern Regional Accessibility Study — Atlanta, GA. As a subconsultant, Kimley-Horn
performed a study of transportation accessibility in the six counties south of Atlanta (south Fulton,
Henry, Clayton, Fayette, Coweta, and Spalding). We performed a field inventory and collected
additional information for all of the major roadways and other transportation facilities in the study
area. We also created a comprehensive existing conditions report and maps showing physical
conditions. In addition, Kimley-Horn prepared the transportation-related needs assessment. The
results will be used in developing recommendations to enhance accessibility in the southern portion

Piedmont Area Transportation Study — Atlanta, GA. Kimley-Horn performed a multimodal
mobility and access study for a 3.5-mile portion of the Piedmont Road corridor in the Buckhead
community of Atlanta. The street facility includes a variety of land uses, travel characteristics, and
stakeholders. The project was driven by a comprehensive stakeholder involvement process designed
to engage business owners, employers, and residents, as well as public agencies. Stakeholder
involvement—along with evaluation of existing and projected traffic conditions and accident
analysis—led to a program of solutions, both short- and long-term, to improve the corridor for all
modes of transportation. The study ultimately recommended 47 pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and
roadway projects totaling more than $200 million over a 25-year period.

Atlanta Regional Commission, Southern Regional Accessibility Study, Atlanta, GA — Project
Manager. Kimley-Horn served as a subconsultant on this study of transportation accessibility in the
six counties south of Atlanta (south Fulton, Henry, Clayton, Fayette, Coweta, and Spalding). The firm
performed a field inventory and collected additional information for all of the major roadways and other
transportation facilities in the six-county study area. We created a comprehensive existing conditions
report and maps showing physical conditions, including number of lanes by segment, median types,
signal locations, railroad crossings, bicycle/pedestrian facilities, etc. Kimley-Horn also prepared the
transportation-related needs assessment based on the existing conditions inventory; information gained
from city, county, and regional plans; and results of transportation modeling. The study results will be used
in developing recommendations to enhance accessibility in the southern portion of Atlanta.
Piedmont Road Transportation Study, Atlanta, GA — Principal-in-Charge. Kimley-Horn is working with
the Buckhead Community Improvement District on a multi-modal mobility and access study for this 3.5-
mile corridor in the Buckhead community of Atlanta. The existing street facility includes a variety of land
uses, travel characteristics, and stakeholders. The project is being driven by a comprehensive stakeholder
involvement process designed to engage business owners, employers, and residents, as well as public
agencies. Stakeholder involvement, along with evaluation of existing and projected traffic conditions and
accident analysis, will lead to a program of solutions, both short- and long-term, to improve the corridor for
all modes of transportation.
Central Atlanta Progress, Imagine Downtown Capital Improvements Program (Simpson-West
Peachtree Rail Connections), Atlanta, GA — Project Director. As prime consultant, Kimley-Horn is
providing project management, environmental, design, permitting, and construction phase services for the
Simpson Street-West Peachtree Street Corridor Improvements. The vision is to create a safe, functional,
pedestrian-friendly, and green environment to link the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola with
both the Civic Center and the Peachtree Center MARTA stations. Special consideration has been given to
improve drainage and encourage pedestrian use along the corridor. Design improvements also include on-
street parking with bulb-outs on West Peachtree Street, a raised pedestrian-friendly intersection at West
Peachtree Street and Simpson Street, street lights, trash cans, benches, and planters. Part of the Livable
Centers Initiative, the project is being approved by both Georgia DOT and the City of Atlanta Department
of Public Works.
The projects listed below were performed by Mr. Ellis prior to joining Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. in
2004.

Widening and Reconstruction of Battle Creek Road and Mt. Zion Boulevard, Clayton County, GA
— Project Manager. Kimley-Horn is providing roadway design and NEPA documentation services to the
Clayton County Department of Transportation and Development for the widening of Battle Creek Road and
Mt. Zion Boulevard. These two projects involve the widening of two-lane urban collectors to four lanes with
a 20-foot raised median and urban shoulders consisting of curb and gutter and sidewalk. Kimley-Horn is
responsible for concept, preliminary, right-of-way, and final plan development, as well as preparation of the
required environmental assessment.
I-75/Rocky Face Interchange Reconstruction, Whitfield County, GA — Project Manager. Kimley-
Horn is designing the reconstruction of this partial cloverleaf interchange. Reconstruction will feature new
highway lanes, collector distributor roads, and five ramps. Kimley-Horn’s services encompass concept
validation; traffic maintenance; hydraulic studies; and the design of preliminary roadway plans, the I-75
bridge over US 41, multiple culverts, and drainage.
Georgia Ports Authority, SR 307 Grade Separation, Savannah, GA — Project Manager. The grade
separation of SR 307 from rail traffic was identified in the Chatham County Intermodal Freight Study. As a
subconsultant to Moffatt & Nichol, Kimley-Horn is responsible for the design of a bridge and approaches
to carry SR 307 traffic over both existing (Norfolk Southern) and proposed (Intermodal Facility) railroad
tracks. SR 307 presently has an at-grade crossing with the Norfolk Southern Foundation lead track. The
Georgia Ports Authority has long-range plans to install up to 12 working tracks and eight storage tracks
at the James D. Mason Intermodal Container Transfer Facility (ICTF). Additionally, a connection from the
working and storage tracks on the south end of the ICTF is necessary for train movements into and out of
the facility. Eventually, 14 tracks will lie across the present location of SR 307. The grade separation will
provide for safer and more efficient movement of vehicles. Kimley-Horn also is providing environmental
documentation.
Campground Road Extension, Henry County, GA — Project Manager. Kimley-Horn is assisting Henry
County with concept development and roadway design for this 2-mile extension just south of Stockbridge.
The project area has become increasingly congested, reducing mobility in and through this part of the
county. The extension of Campground Road faces numerous issues including rapid residential and
commercial development, a grade-separated railroad crossing of Norfolk Southern Railroad, and numerous
stream crossings.
Georgia DOT, SR 10/US 78 Widening and Lexington Bypass, Clarke and Oglethorpe Counties, GA
— Project Director. Kimley-Horn is providing design plans for approximately 8 miles of widening along US
78 as well as a new location bypass for US 78 around the town of Lexington in neighboring Oglethorpe
County. The project includes a total of 18 miles of both widening and new location roadway design,
including bridge and environmental elements.
GRIP Work Order Contract, various locations, GA — Project Manager. Kimley-Horn is providing various
design and engineering services for the preparation of concepts; preliminary and right-of-way plans;
special studies; specifications; and final construction plans on roadway and bridge projects associated with

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
Prior to her private sector career, Ms. DiMassimo was employed by FHWA in Georgia and Alabama
from 1991 to 2000 and by local and regional governments and agencies (Lee County Area Council of
Governments, Auburn, AL; City of Auburn, AL; and Lee-Russell Council of Governments, Opelika, AL)
from 1982 to 1991.
All projects listed below were performed by Ms. DiMassimo prior to joining Kimley-Horn and Associates,
Inc. in 2008.
ARC Policy Support Services, Atlanta, GA — As a subcontractor to HNTB, prepared non-traditional
funding sources/fiscal constraint white paper and led Post Envision 6 planning studies strategy.
GRTA General Engineering Services, Atlanta, GA — Principal-in-Charge. Project involved the
implementation of the Express Bus Service program sponsored by GRTA. Consisted of multiple work
order contracts through which individual park-and-ride lots were designed. Services included site selection,
traffic planning, public outreach, and complete designs from concept through final plans. Permitting and
PDP coordination also were major components of each park-and-ride lot work order. Ms. DiMassimo was
responsible for the environmental documentation.
Buford Highway Corridor Study, Atlanta, GA — Principal-in-Charge. This project was among the first
of a series of corridor studies that were models for regional corridor planning in the metropolitan Atlanta
area. The desired outcome of the corridor study was transportation and land use recommendations that
addressed existing and future transportation needs, supported Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) projects
and transit-oriented development, and promoted business vitality and economic development along the
corridor. The study included the identification of transportation deficiencies in the corridor, assessment of
the benefits and costs of alternative strategies, and building consensus on a preferred set of integrated
transportation and land use alternatives.
Tara Boulevard Corridor Study, Atlanta, GA — Principal-in-Charge. The Atlanta Regional Commission
initiated a multimodal study for a major travel corridor. Tara Boulevard was among the first in a series of
corridor studies serving as a model for regional corridor planning in the metropolitan Atlanta area. The
desired outcome of the corridor study was transportation and land use recommendations that addressed
existing and future transportation needs, supported Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) projects and transit-
oriented development, and promoted business vitality and economic development along the corridor.
State Route 6, Atlanta, GA — Principal-in-Charge. This project involved a corridor planning study
along Georgia SR 6, which traverses Fulton, Douglas, Cobb, and Paulding Counties. Anchored by the
Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport to the south and by the Norfolk Southern Intermodal Transfer
Facility to the north, transportation demands along SR 6 have increased significantly in recent years.
Observations showed truck traffic heading toward the Atlanta region from the north diverting to alternate
routes, including SR 6, to bypass the traffic associated with Atlanta interstates. The influx of both freight
and increased commuter traffic, coupled with existing and new commercial development, made the SR 6
corridor increasingly difficult to travel during peak hours. This comprehensive study reviewed the different
transportation modes accessing the SR 6 corridor and made recommendations for improvements in safety,
congestion mitigation, traffic flow, and improved land use. The completed corridor plan recommended
improvements for alternative travel modes in the corridor including roadways, transit, and pedestrian and
bicycle infrastructure. The final product also included supporting land use policies and actions.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Kimley-Horn recognizes that a quality control/quality assurance program
is critical to the success of any project. We have always aggressively
pursued our commitment to quality in every task, deliverable, and
service, and to that end, we have developed and follow an in-house
Quality Control/Quality Assurance Manual.
Quality control reviews will take place prior to the submittal of each
deliverable to the City of Milton. All quality control documents, plans,
and calculations will be maintained by Kimley-Horn’s project managers,
Gary Newton, P.E. (Design) and Faye DiMassimo, AICP (Planning).
Our quality control program consists of independent plan reviewers
with project-specific checklists to make sure that proper design
considerations are included. To demonstrate our commitment to quality,
Kimley-Horn has assigned internal QC/QA reviewer Jerry Brooks, P.E.
for all assignments under this contract.
For transportation design projects, Mr. Brooks will perform internal
quality control reviews following each design phase of the assignment.
Mr. Brooks understands the direct benefits that continuous review of
each project element has on the production of quality deliverables.
To make sure that quality is incorporated throughout the project and
not just added on at the end, Mr. Brooks also will perform continuous
production checks for each element as design and plan preparation
progress.
At Kimley-Horn, each of our employees is ultimately responsible for
quality. Individual staff members in every one of our offices are assisted
by senior managers who help to make sure that our clients’ needs are
understood and honored, and that Kimley-Horn’s own objectives are
communicated and met. These senior managers have the authority to
call upon the resources they need to get the job done right, whether
those resources are located in the local office or in other regions of the
firm.
Quality projects are no accident at Kimley-Horn. They are assured
through a carefully designed system of cross checks and independent
reviews. Our project managers make a habit of preparing a quality
control plan at the beginning of a project, and we regularly submit these
plans to our clients shortly after notice to proceed. We also assemble
our project teams with quality in mind. Emphasis is placed upon
completing tasks right the first time. In addition, our project managers
assign a professional who is not otherwise associated with the project
to serve as a quality control advisor and provide detailed project checks
from a neutral perspective. Together, our quality control advisors and
project managers plan scopes of services, develop project schedules,
and determine stages at which projects should undergo reviews.
Because our quality review program is implemented from the very
beginning of a project, we are able to help save our clients both time
and money.

FINANCIAL
Summary of Financial Information
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. is an employee-owned company that
has been in business since 1967. Our company philosophy includes
financing our growth through operations and loans from employees in
the form of long-term debentures, not from external lenders. Our current
bank debt is isolated to a mortgage note on land. We have a $10 million
line of credit which we have not used in the past three years because
our operations have provided more than enough working capital.
In a tightening credit market, our firm’s independence from external
funding sources means that our cash flow will not be disrupted if
lenders suddenly change the rules. While the current economic climate
is challenging, Kimley-Horn is financially very strong and in an excellent
position to capitalize on every opportunity this market offers.

City, recognizing that the City’s intention and purpose in entering into this Agreement is to
engage an entity with the requisite capacity, experience, and professional skill and judgment to
provide the services in pursuit of the timely and competent completion of the Work undertaken
by Consultant under this Agreement.
B. Budgetary Limitations
Consultant agrees and acknowledges that budgetary limitations are not a justification for
breach of sound principles of Consultant’s profession and industry. Consultant shall take no
calculated risk in the performance of the Work. Specifically, Consultant agrees that, in the event
it cannot perform the Work within the budgetary limitations established without disregarding
sound principals of Consultant’s profession and industry, Consultant will give written notice
immediately to the City.
C. City’s Reliance on the Work
The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the City does not undertake to approve or
pass upon matters of expertise of the Consultant and that, therefore, the City bears no
responsibility for Consultant’s services performed under this Agreement. The Consultant
acknowledges and agrees that the acceptance of designs, plans, and specifications by the City is
limited to the function of determining whether there has been compliance with what is required
4 4
to be produced under this Agreement. The City will not, and need not, inquire into adequacy,
fitness, suitability or correctness of Consultant’s performance. Consultant further agrees that no
approval of designs, plans, or specifications by any person, body or agency shall relieve
Consultant of the responsibility for adequacy, fitness, suitability, and correctness of Consultant’s
professional and industry standards or for performing services under this Agreement in
accordance with sound and accepted professional and industry principals.
D. Consultant’s Reliance of Submissions by the City
Consultant must have timely information and input from the City in order to perform the
services required under this Agreement. Consultant is entitled to rely upon information provided
by the City, but Consultant shall be required to provide immediate written notice to the City if
Consultant knows or reasonably should know that any information provided by the City is
erroneous, inconsistent, or otherwise problematic.
E. Consultant’s Representative
Steven S. Bitney, P.E. shall be authorized to act on Consultant’s behalf with respect to
the Work as Consultant’s designated representative.
F. Assignment of Agreement
The Consultant covenants and agrees not to assign or transfer any interest in, nor delegate
any duties of this Agreement, without the prior express written consent of the City. As to any
approved sub Consultants, the Consultant shall be solely responsible for reimbursing them and
the City shall have no obligation to them.
G. Responsibility of Consultant and Indemnification of City
The Consultant covenants and agrees to take and assume all responsibility for the
services rendered in connection with this Agreement. The Consultant shall bear all losses and
damages directly or indirectly resulting to it on account of the performance or character of the
services rendered pursuant to this Agreement. Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold
harmless the City, its officers, boards, commissions, elected officials, employees and agents from
and against any and all claims, suits, actions, liability, judgments, damages, losses, and expenses,
including but not limited to, attorney’s fees, which may be the result of willful, negligent or
tortious conduct arising out of the Work, performance of contracted services, or operations by
the Consultant, any sub Consultant, anyone directly or indirectly employed by the Consultant or
sub Consultant or anyone for whose acts the Consultant or sub Consultant may be liable,
regardless of whether or not the offending act is caused in part by a party indemnified hereunder.
Such obligation shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or otherwise reduce any other right or
obligation of indemnity which would otherwise exist as to any party or person described in this
provision. In any and all claims against the City or any of its agents or employees, by any
employee of the Consultant, any sub Consultant, anyone directly or indirectly employed by the
Consultant or sub Consultant or anyone for whose acts the Consultant or sub Consultant may be
liable, the indemnification obligation set forth in this provision shall not be limited in any way by
5 5
any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for the
Consultant or any sub Consultant under workers’ or workmen’s compensation acts, disability
benefit acts or other employee benefit acts. This obligation to indemnify and defend the City, its
members, officers, agents, employees and volunteers shall survive termination of this
Agreement.
H. Independent Consultant
Consultant hereby covenants and declares that it is engaged in an independent business
and agrees to perform the services as an independent Consultant and not as the agent or
employee of the City. The Consultant agrees to be solely responsible for its own matters relating
to the time and place the services are performed; the instrumentalities, tools, supplies and/or
materials necessary to complete the services; hiring of Consultants, agents or employees to
complete the services; and the payment of employees, including compliance with Social
Security, withholding and all other regulations governing such matters. The Consultant agrees to
be solely responsible for its own acts and those of its subordinates, employees, and sub
Consultants during the life of this Agreement. Any provisions of this Agreement that may
appear to give the City the right to direct Consultant as to the details of the services to be
performed by Consultant or to exercise a measure of control over such services will be deemed
to mean that Consultant shall follow the directions of the City with regard to the results of such
services only.

approval of the City. The Consultant shall exercise reasonable precautions to prevent the
unauthorized disclosure and use of City information whether specifically deemed confidential or
not.
N. Compliance with Laws Regulating Illegal Aliens
The United States Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986
(IRCA), P.L. 99-603, which required the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (now
the Department of Homeland Security) to establish a system for verifying the immigration status
of non-citizen applicants for, and recipients of, certain types of federally funded benefits, and to
make the system available to Federal, State, and local benefit-issuing agencies and institutions
that administer such benefits.
The Consultant covenants and declares that it is enrolled in the Basic Employment
Verification Pilot Program, and that it has verified the employment eligibility of all its
employees utilizing such program. Consultant shall likewise require all sub Consultants or sub-
consultants to verify the employment eligibility of all their respective employees utilizing the
Basic Employment Verification Pilot Program. Consultant shall provide documentation prior to
commencing work under this Agreement, in a form acceptable to the City, affirming the
Consultant’s compliance with this Section.
O. Licenses, Certifications and Permits
11 11
The Consultant covenants and declares that it has obtained all diplomas, certificates,
licenses, permits or the like required of the Consultant by any and all national, state, regional,
City, local boards, agencies, commissions, committees or other regulatory bodies in order to
perform the services contracted for under this Agreement. All work performed by Consultant
under this Agreement shall be in accordance with applicable legal requirements and shall meet
the standard of quality ordinarily expected of competent professionals.
P. Key Personnel
All of the individuals identified in Exhibit “D” are necessary for the successful
prosecution of the Work due to their unique expertise and depth and breadth of experience. There
shall be no change in Consultant’s Project Manager or members of the project team, as listed in
Exhibit “D”, without written approval of the City. Consultant recognizes that the composition of
this team was instrumental in the City’s decision to award the work to Consultant and that
compelling reasons for substituting these individuals must be demonstrated for the City’s consent
to be granted. Any substitutes shall be persons of comparable or superior expertise and
experience. Failure to comply with the provisions of this section shall constitute a material
breach of Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement and shall be grounds for termination.
Consultant shall not subcontract with any third party for the performance of any portion of the
Work without the prior written consent of the City. Consultant shall be solely responsible for
any such sub Consultants in terms of performance and compensation.
Q. Authority to Contract
The Consultant covenants and declares that it has obtained all necessary approvals of its
board of directors, stockholders, general partners, limited partners or similar authorities to
simultaneously execute and bind Consultant to the terms of this Agreement, if applicable.
R. Ownership of Work
All reports, designs, drawings, plans, specifications, schedules, work product and other
materials prepared or in the process of being prepared for the services to be performed by the
Consultant (“materials”) shall be the property of the City and the City shall be entitled to full
access and copies of all such materials. Any such materials remaining in the hands of the
Consultant or sub Consultant upon completion or termination of the work shall be delivered
immediately to the City. The Consultant assumes all risk of loss, damage or destruction of or to
such materials. If any materials are lost, damaged or destroyed before final delivery to the City,
the Consultant shall replace them at its own expense. Any and all copyrightable subject matter in
all materials is hereby assigned to the City and the Consultant agrees to execute any additional
documents that may be necessary to evidence such assignment.

subject Consultant’s individual employees, officers or directors to any personal liability. The

Company Profile (continued)
In our conceptual designs, every proposed design element will contribute to meeting project
goals. To this end, we will carefully and judiciously consider such elements as roadway typical
section, roadway alignments, access control, intersection design, aesthetics, traffic signal design,
crosswalk locations and markings, pedestrian usage and pedestrian connectivity, signing and
marking, addressing drainage issues, watershed protection, and utilities adjustments. We will be
creative while achieving safety and efficiency through early identification of critical project issues
and thorough consideration of community concerns during concept development before major
decisions limit the design options. Street Smarts has been extremely successful with this approach,
and a very high percentage of our business comes from repeat clients who are very pleased with
our work.

development and plan production. In-house reviews by experienced staff members who are not
directly involved in the day-to-day project activities will be performed prior to each submittal, and
each submittal will be certified for accuracy, completeness, and conformance with the City of
Milton's requirements. Review comments will be formally logged, and responses will be submitted

The Street Smarts Approach to On-Call Projects
Leadership: Steve Bitney, Andy Anderson, James Tidwell, John Karnowski, William Dial, and Jim
Chambers have a wealth of experience on a broad range of transportation projects and tasks. The
project manager and design engineers have solid experience in designing virtually all types of trans-
portation projects. The Street Smarts team will be proactive throughout the plan development
process in ensuring the advancement of each on-call project assignment to meet or exceed the
project schedule. Street Smarts will act as a direct extension of the City of Milton's staff and, if re-
quested, we will actively represent the City in discussions and liaison with other agencies, organiza-
tions, and the public.
Transportation Planning: Street Smarts has extensive experience in trans-
portation planning at statewide, regional, and local levels. Our experi-
ence includes such activities as:
• Freight Movement Studies
• Travel Demand Modeling using TranPlan, TransCAD, and QRS-II
software
• Transit Studies
• Parking and Park-Ride Studies
• Impact Fee Studies
• Airport Landside Studies
• Transportation Master Plans
• Sub-Area and Corridor Studies
• Traffic Calming Studies
• Community Improvement Districts
• Zoning Overlay Planning
Roadway Design: Street Smarts has designed hundreds of transportation projects throughout Geor-
gia, including the design of new-location roadways, urban and rural freeways and freeway inter-
changes, roadway widenings, intersections, bridges, railroad crossing safety design, median cross-
overs, turn lanes, and access control projects; traffic engineering studies; and traffic signal warrants
and traffic signal design. Street Smarts has designed a number of innovative projects, including pro-
jects involving the application of context-sensitive design and flexibility in design. Street Smarts is
very proud to have designed a modern roundabout in Dawson County, Georgia. This was the first
permanent roundabout designed for the Georgia Department of Transportation. In addition to hav-
ing an extremely talented and experienced group of roadway designers, Street Smarts has perhaps
the finest traffic engineering group in Georgia. Also complementing the engineering staff is one of
the finest surveying operations in the State of Georgia, capable of putting up to eight survey parties
in the field to develop comprehensive survey databases, including survey controls, topographic sur-
veys, stream surveys, and property surveys for any type of project.
Traffic Operations Studies and Design: Street Smarts has earned a national reputation as a leader in
this field. Three of the staff members proposed for this contract - John Karnowski, Julie Doyle, and
Larry Overn - are among the most experienced and respected professional traffic engineers in
Georgia. In addition, John Karnowski, Julie Doyle, and Larry Overn have earned the prestigious Pro-
fessional Traffic Operations Engineer (P.T.O.E.) certification, a symbol of excellence in their profes-
sion. Street Smarts is extremely proud to propose these outstanding traffic engineers for the City of
Milton on-call services contract. The Street Smarts staff is also a leader in the application of Intelli-
gent Transportation Systems (ITS) architecture and standards in the development of Advanced
Transportation Management Systems (ATMS) for freeway management, traveler information, traffic
signal control, and commercial vehicle and transit operations.

The Street Smarts Approach to On-Call Projects
The Street Smarts traffic engineering section has expertise in all areas of traffic engineering, includ-
ing accident data analysis, traffic counts, capacity analysis, traffic volume projections, roadway
signing and marking, traffic signal warrants and signal design, traffic impact analyses, and ITS appli-
cations. Street Smarts uses the latest analysis tools for modeling and simulating traffic conditions
(HCS, Synchro, SimTraffic, CORSIM, etc.). We are also very experienced in developing and present-
ing graphical demonstrations of traffic simulations to public officials and the general public.
Street Smarts engineers have performed hundreds of signal
warrant studies and designed or redesigned more traffic signals
than we can count. We have experience with all of the latest
traffic signal equipment and designs from our work on the Ad-
vanced Traffic Controller Project. The Georgia DOT recently
recognized our capabilities by awarding Street Smarts the
Statewide Signal Upgrade Design project.
The Georgia DOT has been extremely impressed with Street
Smarts traffic engineering section. In addition to several traffic
signal and signal timing projects awarded to Street Smarts, GDOT awarded Street Smarts an Ad-
vanced Traffic Controller Project. The project included developing state-specific 2070 hardware
and software specifications to be used throughout Georgia. Tasks included planning stakeholder
meetings, writing software specifications for lane control software, reviewing other software and
hardware specifications, assisting with the migration plan, conversion of timing databases for multi-
ple local jurisdictions, implementation of timing plans, and troubleshooting.
Street Smarts has helped cities like Atlanta, Woodstock, Athens, and Sandy Springs and counties
such as Rockdale, DeKalb, and Paulding develop and refine their traffic calming programs. We
have helped many residential communities by designing comprehensive traffic calming plans that
relied not only on speed humps to solve cut-throughs, speeding, and safety problems, but also on
innovative elements, including roundabouts. Street Smarts has also performed a number of circula-
tion and connectivity studies for local governments.
Please note that for the past ten years, Street Smarts has provided traffic engineering and transpor-
tation planning services for Rockdale County. Street Smarts has been on-call during that period,
responding to traffic signal outages, performing traffic calming studies, reviewing access issues, and
a number of other related tasks.
Bicycle/Pedestrian Facilities: Bicycle/pedestrian facilities can support both recreational and trans-
portation needs and focus on trips between neighborhoods and community facilities such as
schools, libraries, and parks. Pedestrian/bicycle projects will facilitate short-distance trips along side-
walks or multi-use paths, but these facilities can ultimately become links in a broader network of bi-
cycle/pedestrian facilities connecting activity centers.
Details of a selected design will be in accordance with Georgia DOT's "Special Details for Wheel-
chair Ramps, Sidewalks, Driveways and Detectable Warning Surfaces." A number of configurations
are possible, but the selected configuration must comply with current ADA Guidelines. A major
source for design criteria will be Georgia DOT's "Pedestrian & Streetscape Guide," which provides
direction to planners and designers regarding the design and construction of pedestrian facilities.
The information in this publication will be used as guidelines only, with sufficient flexibility required to
meet the City of Milton's goals and expectations for bicycle and pedestrian facilities.
CITY OF MILTON

The Street Smarts Approach to On-Call Projects
Street Smarts has a wealth of experience working on bicycle/pedestrian projects and streetscaping/
greenscaping projects. We also have considerable experience in public involvement plans for
these projects and presentation of proposed projects to the general public as well as businesses,
neighborhood groups, civic organizations, and other project stakeholders.
Planning and Design Studio: Street Smarts' Planning and Design Studio is directed by Jay Scott,
ASLA, a registered landscape architect with more than thirty years of experience. The Design Stu-
dio's work covers a broad range of services for public and private sector clients and includes land-
scape architecture and streetscapes, planning and design of multi-use trails, planning and design
of mixed-use communities, planning and design of parks and other recreational facilities, planning
for Community Improvement Districts (CID), and planning for Livable Communities Initiatives (LCI).
Mr. Scott's staff includes two graduate (MLA) landscape architects, an architectural engineer, and
technicians.
Public School Improvements: Street Smarts has worked extensively with Gwinnett, Walton, and
Cobb Counties on school safety projects and school improvements. We have designed seven
school safety projects for Gwinnett County. These
projects typically include the addition of turn lanes,
curb and gutter, sidewalks, improved drainage sys-
tems, traffic calming, signing and markings, and
traffic signal design. These are turnkey projects,
with Street Smarts responsible for all design work,
including field surveys and database preparation,
traffic studies and design, conceptual design, con-
struction plans, right of way plans, specifications
and bid documents, and construction inspection.
In addition, Street Smarts has developed complete
or partial site development plans for more than a dozen schools. This work included site grading,
drainage, and detention design; erosion control plans (including NPDES permitting); coordination of
school access points with adjacent roadways; traffic studies and design; and coordination with ar-
chitects and other engineering specialties involved with the school design. In several cases, Street
Smarts was responsible for designing additional parking areas.
Surveying: The services to be provided by Street Smarts may include topographic surveys, bound-
ary surveys, engineering surveys, geodetic surveys, GPS surveys, as-built surveys, construction and
right of way staking, utilities surveys, right of way and deed research, and digital data conversion/
development of digital terrain models.
Street Smarts provides fully automated surveying and GPS capabilities. Street Smarts employs the
latest technology for conventional and electronic field surveys, land information research, GPS sur-
veys, and digital data conversion.
The Street Smarts Surveying and GPS group currently has
eight (8) survey crews and one (1) GPS survey crew, plus
four (4) survey technicians. This group not only has ex-
traordinary individual experience, but also has experience
working together on projects throughout the State. Many
consultants call on Street Smarts to provide surveying ser-
vices, a tribute to our expertise in this field.

The Street Smarts Approach to On-Call Projects
Environmental Studies and Documentation: Environmental screenings and studies will be done at
the outset of project development. Environmental studies will be done by Kimley-Horn & Associates,
one of the most experienced and respected firms in the Southeast, and Street Smarts has teamed
with the firm on numerous projects. For a typical federal or state aid project, a brief summary of the
process is as follows:
• The Georgia DOT Plan Development Process (PDP) will be followed.
• Determine the level of NEPA/GEPA documentation required (for many projects, a Categori-
cal Exclusion (CE) will be appropriate).
• Prepare the required environmental studies, reports, and NEPA/GEPA documentation (this
will include archaeological, history, ecology, air quality, noise, USTs, hazardous waste sites,
and environmental justice studies).
• Coordinate reviews of the NEPA document with GDOT, FHWA, and other resource agencies.
Work to obtain early buy-in by regulatory agencies.
• Incorporate any required mitigation measures into construction plans and right of way plans.
• Hold a public hearing after approval of the draft NEPA document.
For 100% locally funded projects, the Georgia DOT PDP will not be followed. Locally-funded projects
do not require NEPA or GEPA clearance. However, basic environmental screening is recom-
mended to determine if any federal permitting requirements must be met. Our environ-
mental screening approach typically requires approximately 1-2 days of effort for online research, a
site visit, and preparation of a brief memorandum on the findings.
If streams under U.S. Army Corps of Engineers jurisdiction are impacted, a Nationwide 404 water-
ways permit may be required. The permit is a federal action; therefore two resources must be
screened: cultural resources listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and listed Threatened
and Endangered species. This screening can often be done via desktop research.
If a jurisdictional stream is impacted, we will coordinate with the City of Milton to confirm local flood-
plain ordinances, modeling of existing and projected hydrology and hydraulics, and verification
that the future conditions will not create an increased rise in the flood level of a foot or more. A fed-
eral No-Rise Certification likely would be required, and any changes to the floodplain limits would
require a letter requesting modification of the floodplain (Conditional Letter of Map Revision
[CLOMR]). Street Smarts has been through this process and has written CLOMR's for numerous pro-
jects. FEMA coordination and permitting would be appropriate when the preliminary design is
ready and hydraulic modeling supports a no-rise condition by the project.
Public Involvement: For some projects, public involve-
ment will be a continuing, ongoing process throughout
the conceptual design phase and the preliminary and
final design phases. At the outset of the conceptual
design phase, a public involvement program will be de-
veloped. This program could include such elements as
public information open house meetings, creation of a
citizens advisory group that would meet with the design-
ers, meetings with neighborhood and civic associations,
newsletters, posters and flyers placed in local busi-
nesses, project web site, telephone hotline, press re-
leases, radio and television announcements, and other
activities intended to inform the public and obtain pub-
lic feedback. For most projects, however, a modest public involvement program will be appropri-
ate, consisting primarily of a public information open house. The ultimate goal will be to accurately
inform local residents and businesses, receive input from the public about community values and
preferences, and to build a consensus among the various project stakeholders.

The Street Smarts Approach to On-Call Projects
The Street Smarts team is very experienced in developing and managing public involvement pro-
grams for both GDOT and local governments. A number of consultants have turned to Street Smarts
to perform this service, a testimony to our reputation in this field. Leading the public involvement
process for Street Smarts will be Marsha Anderson Bomar. Ms. Bomar has many years of experience
in the public involvement process, and she has led numerous design charrettes and workshops. Ms.
Bomar is very knowledgeable of both traditional and state-of-the-art techniques for public involve-
ment. This knowledge and experience, combined with her personable nature, makes Ms. Bomar
the ideal person to lead the public involvement program for the City of Milton's projects.
Utilities Coordination: The Street Smarts team will identify all public and private utility owners during
the concept phase of each project. A list of all known utility owners will be shown in the project de-
sign data book. Coordination with utility owners will begin during the concept development phase.
Utility plans will be developed to facilitate coordination between the engineers, construction con-
tractors, and utility owners having utilities located in the projects corridor. Utility owner information
will be shown on the utility plans and sent to the utility owners for their review and mark-up. The util-
ity mark-ups will include existing, relocated, abandoned, retained, and added facilities. The
marked-up information will be transferred to the final utility plans. For projects in the GDOT work pro-
gram or that affect state routes, GDOT may require the use of subsurface utility engineering (SUE)
procedures to accurately locate and identify underground utilities. Please note that Street Smarts is
prequalified with GDOT in SUE and has a very experienced staff in this field.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS): If requested, the Street Smarts team will provide Geo-
graphic Information Systems (GIS) services through its subsidiary company Data Smarts. Keith
Hogsed, P.E., GISP, Director of Data Smarts, will be the project lead for these services. Mr. Hogsed is
a professional engineer and certified GIS Professional. He brings over 15 years of traffic engineering,
transportation planning, and GIS experience to the project team, including experience as the GIS
Manager for Gwinnett County.
Data Smarts offers GIS services such as needs assessment and peer reviews; implementation plan-
ning; GIS program management; database design, construction, and management; data collec-
tion, analysis, management, and production, including spatial analysis; custom map production;
and training.
Bridge and Structural Design: If required, bridge and structural design services will be provided by
Kimley-Horn & Associates, one of the most highly respected structural design firms in the Southeast-
ern United States. Unless directed otherwise, bridge and structural design will be performed in ac-
cordance with the Georgia DOT’s design guidelines. A bridge hydraulics analysis will be performed
on structures crossing water. The hydraulics report will determine the location of the end bents, re-
quired clearance of the structure, and required opening size. Final bridge plans will include all de-
tails and notes required to construct the bridge and will be submitted with the final roadway plans.
Geotechnical Engineering: If geotechnical engineering studies are required, Street Smarts will utilize
the services of United Consulting, one of the highest-rated geotechnical firms in the Southeastern
US. Street Smarts has teamed with United Consulting on numerous projects, and we have an excel-
lent working relationship with the firm.
Drainage Design: Culvert crossings will be analyzed to determine the hydraulic adequacy, capac-
ity, and water surface elevations. Design flows and corresponding headwater elevations will be de-
termined. Culverts will be sized to accommodate the appropriate flood events without exceeding
the design flood headwater. All bridge and culvert velocities will be checked and appropriate ero-
sion control measures used to prevent scour and erosion. William Dial, one of Street Smarts' staff
members, is highly experienced in hydrologic and hydraulic engineering.

Erosion and Sediment Control Plans: The Street Smarts team has extensive experience preparing
erosion control plans. Six of our roadway design engineers have a current Level II Erosion/
Sedimentation Certification from the Georgia Soil and Water Conservation Commission. All Erosion
Control will be prepared in accordance with the “Manual for Erosion Control and Sediment Control
in Georgia," the GDOT Plans Preparation Guide (PPG), and other GDOT design guidelines. Best
Management Practices (BMP) plans will be developed that match each phase of traffic control.
Cost Effectiveness and Project Value: The Street Smarts team understands that resources for improv-
ing road and traffic conditions are limited, and that engineers must provide cost-effective designs
that deliver the most value for the available funds. The various factors that must be addressed typi-
cally include capacity requirements, right-of-way availability, public sentiment and context sensitive
design, access control, geotechnical considerations, environmental issues, socio-economic im-
pacts, political concerns, and budget constraints. These factors are often in conflict, and our de-
sign engineers must balance the project design factors to optimize project value. In our work with
local governments, which often have very limited budgets, we have gained a wealth of valuable
experience in delivering cost-effective designs that provide the greatest value to our clients.
For each project, we will evaluate all elements of the project design during concept development
to determine if the value added justifies the cost. Also, every effort will be made to preserve existing
roadway elements that are suitable to be incorporated into our design. Street Smarts has been
highly successful in using this approach to ensure the greatest project value for the funds available,
as our numerous local government clients will attest. The actual improvements to be implemented
will be developed during the concept phase, based on traffic engineering studies, accident analy-
ses, expected benefit versus cost, and total project funds available. The bottom line: Street Smarts
will deliver design plans that provide the most effective possible project that can be constructed
with the City's budgeted funds.
Constructability and Traffic Control: Maintenance of traffic will be considered from the outset as
conceptual designs are evaluated. During conceptual development, we will develop geometric
layouts with traffic control in mind. In addition to maintaining through traffic, access to adjacent
properties must be maintained. If a road must be temporarily closed, emergency services, local
residents, and the general public will be properly notified well in advance. Where possible, the
plans will specify that critical lane closures or detours take place during summer months, when traf-
fic is lighter.

IV. COVENANTS OF CONSULTANT
A. Expertise of Consultant
Consultant accepts the relationship of trust and confidence established between it and the
City, recognizing that the City’s intention and purpose in entering into this Agreement is to
engage an entity with the requisite capacity, experience, and professional skill and judgment to
provide the services in pursuit of the timely and competent completion of the Work undertaken
by Consultant under this Agreement.
B. Budgetary Limitations
Consultant agrees and acknowledges that budgetary limitations are not a justification for
breach of sound principles of Consultant’s profession and industry. Consultant shall take no
calculated risk in the performance of the Work. Specifically, Consultant agrees that, in the event
it cannot perform the Work within the budgetary limitations established without disregarding
sound principals of Consultant’s profession and industry, Consultant will give written notice
immediately to the City.
C. City’s Reliance on the Work
The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the City does not undertake to approve or
pass upon matters of expertise of the Consultant and that, therefore, the City bears no
responsibility for Consultant’s services performed under this Agreement. The Consultant
acknowledges and agrees that the acceptance of designs, plans, and specifications by the City is
limited to the function of determining whether there has been compliance with what is required
4 4
to be produced under this Agreement. The City will not, and need not, inquire into adequacy,
fitness, suitability or correctness of Consultant’s performance. Consultant further agrees that no
approval of designs, plans, or specifications by any person, body or agency shall relieve
Consultant of the responsibility for adequacy, fitness, suitability, and correctness of Consultant’s
professional and industry standards or for performing services under this Agreement in
accordance with sound and accepted professional and industry principals.
D. Consultant’s Reliance of Submissions by the City
Consultant must have timely information and input from the City in order to perform the
services required under this Agreement. Consultant is entitled to rely upon information provided
by the City, but Consultant shall be required to provide immediate written notice to the City if
Consultant knows or reasonably should know that any information provided by the City is
erroneous, inconsistent, or otherwise problematic.
E. Consultant’s Representative
Don Harris, P.E. Vice President shall be authorized to act on Consultant’s behalf with
respect to the Work as Consultant’s designated representative.
F. Assignment of Agreement
The Consultant covenants and agrees not to assign or transfer any interest in, nor delegate
any duties of this Agreement, without the prior express written consent of the City. As to any
approved sub Consultants, the Consultant shall be solely responsible for reimbursing them and
the City shall have no obligation to them.
G. Responsibility of Consultant and Indemnification of City
The Consultant covenants and agrees to take and assume all responsibility for the
services rendered in connection with this Agreement. The Consultant shall bear all losses and
damages directly or indirectly resulting to it on account of the performance or character of the
services rendered pursuant to this Agreement. Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold
harmless the City, its officers, boards, commissions, elected officials, employees and agents from
and against any and all claims, suits, actions, liability, judgments, damages, losses, and expenses,
including but not limited to, attorney’s fees, which may be the result of willful, negligent or
tortious conduct arising out of the Work, performance of contracted services, or operations by
the Consultant, any sub Consultant, anyone directly or indirectly employed by the Consultant or
sub Consultant or anyone for whose acts the Consultant or sub Consultant may be liable,
regardless of whether or not the offending act is caused in part by a party indemnified hereunder.
Such obligation shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or otherwise reduce any other right or
obligation of indemnity which would otherwise exist as to any party or person described in this
provision. In any and all claims against the City or any of its agents or employees, by any
employee of the Consultant, any sub Consultant, anyone directly or indirectly employed by the
Consultant or sub Consultant or anyone for whose acts the Consultant or sub Consultant may be
liable, the indemnification obligation set forth in this provision shall not be limited in any way by
5 5
any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation or benefits payable by or for the
Consultant or any sub Consultant under workers’ or workmen’s compensation acts, disability
benefit acts or other employee benefit acts. This obligation to indemnify and defend the City, its
members, officers, agents, employees and volunteers shall survive termination of this
Agreement.
H. Independent Consultant
Consultant hereby covenants and declares that it is engaged in an independent business
and agrees to perform the services as an independent Consultant and not as the agent or
employee of the City. The Consultant agrees to be solely responsible for its own matters relating
to the time and place the services are performed; the instrumentalities, tools, supplies and/or
materials necessary to complete the services; hiring of Consultants, agents or employees to
complete the services; and the payment of employees, including compliance with Social
Security, withholding and all other regulations governing such matters. The Consultant agrees to
be solely responsible for its own acts and those of its subordinates, employees, and sub
Consultants during the life of this Agreement. Any provisions of this Agreement that may
appear to give the City the right to direct Consultant as to the details of the services to be
performed by Consultant or to exercise a measure of control over such services will be deemed
to mean that Consultant shall follow the directions of the City with regard to the results of such
services only.

discussed with, any individual or organization, including the news media, without prior written
approval of the City. The Consultant shall exercise reasonable precautions to prevent the
unauthorized disclosure and use of City information whether specifically deemed confidential or
not.
N. Compliance with Laws Regulating Illegal Aliens
The United States Congress enacted the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986
(IRCA), P.L. 99-603, which required the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (now
the Department of Homeland Security) to establish a system for verifying the immigration status
of non-citizen applicants for, and recipients of, certain types of federally funded benefits, and to
make the system available to Federal, State, and local benefit-issuing agencies and institutions
that administer such benefits.
The Consultant covenants and declares that it is enrolled in the Basic Employment
Verification Pilot Program, and that it has verified the employment eligibility of all its
employees utilizing such program. Consultant shall likewise require all sub Consultants or sub-
consultants to verify the employment eligibility of all their respective employees utilizing the

commencing work under this Agreement, in a form acceptable to the City, affirming the
Consultant’s compliance with this Section.
O. Licenses, Certifications and Permits
11 11

licenses, permits or the like required of the Consultant by any and all national, state, regional,

under this Agreement shall be in accordance with applicable legal requirements and shall meet
the standard of quality ordinarily expected of competent professionals.
P. Key Personnel

prosecution of the Work due to their unique expertise and depth and breadth of experience. There
shall be no change in Consultant’s Project Manager or members of the project team, as listed in
Exhibit “D”, without written approval of the City. Consultant recognizes that the composition of
this team was instrumental in the City’s decision to award the work to Consultant and that
compelling reasons for substituting these individuals must be demonstrated for the City’s consent
to be granted. Any substitutes shall be persons of comparable or superior expertise and
experience. Failure to comply with the provisions of this section shall constitute a material
breach of Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement and shall be grounds for termination.
Consultant shall not subcontract with any third party for the performance of any portion of the
Work without the prior written consent of the City. Consultant shall be solely responsible for
any such sub Consultants in terms of performance and compensation.
Q. Authority to Contract
The Consultant covenants and declares that it has obtained all necessary approvals of its
board of directors, stockholders, general partners, limited partners or similar authorities to
simultaneously execute and bind Consultant to the terms of this Agreement, if applicable.

FIRM INFORMATION
This proposal, prepared by URS Corporation (URS), is organized for ease of review and directly responds to the City of Milton
Request for Qualifications of firms interested in providing professional design and planning services for an annual on-call
professional services consulting agreement. URS understands that under the terms of the agreement, the selected firms could
provide design services for intersection improvements, bridge replacement, pedestrian/bicycle projects, and planning of
transportation infrastructure. Each RFQ item is indicated below in bold typeface and followed by our response.
Firm name: URS Corporation
Official Georgia Address/ 400 Northpark Town Center
Office Performing the Work 1000 Abernathy Road, N.E., Suite 900
Atlanta, GA 30328
Local Contact: Loai El-Gazairly, PhD, PE
loai_el-gazairly@urscorp.com
Telephone # (Georgia): 678-808-8875
Former Firm Names: Dames & Moore, Greiner Engineering, Woodward Clyde
Company Profile and Experience
URS was established in 1951, and since that time has grown to become a leader in the provision of
professional transportation and infrastructure services. The primary means of growth has been a
series of key acquisitions of firms that are respected and viewed as leaders within the profession; firms
such as Dames & Moore, Greiner Engineering and Woodward-Clyde. By virtue of these acquisitions,
URS has increased its employment base and has become the #1 design firm in the United States, as
ranked by Engineering News Record for seven consecutive years.
URS opened its Atlanta office in 1954. Our office in the Perimeter Center area of Atlanta is the
location from which the work will be performed. The Transportation Group in URS’ Atlanta office
consists of 60 engineers, planners and technicians. Included in this staff are 16 roadway/bridge
designers, 20 traffic/ITS engineers, and 20 transportation planners providing roadway engineering,
traffic operations services, transportation planning, and environmental services including archaeology, history, ecology, air,
noise and GEPA documentation.
Project Understanding
URS will utilize information supplied by the City of Milton, supplemented with any required
additional information, such as field surveys, geotechnical investigations, etc. to create a scope
of work for each project. Most work orders will follow the Plan Development Process (PDP)
and the Plan Presentation Guide (PPG) as prescribed by Georgia DOT. All key staff
members have successfully completed PDP training and effectively managed and directed
projects through this process. For each assignment, the supplied draft concept or project
objective will be studied and re-analyzed in detail to arrive at a final concept that will be fully
developed to final construction documents and right-of-way plans. A quality product that
satisfies all objectives and still meets design criteria and technical constraints does not happen
by accident. It takes work, patience, and determination.
Project Management
The URS Team recognizes how critical effective project management is to the overall success of any project. A project
manager, Loai El-Gazairly, PhD, PE, who lives in the City of Milton, understands the City’s
transportation needs and will deliver projects on schedule and within budget. In order to
facilitate sound project management, particular attention will be given to the following
activities:
Understanding the Scope of Services
The City of Milton’s proposed transportation projects consist of the design of intersection
improvements, bridge replacement, pedestrian/bicycle projects, and planning of transportation

infrastructure. All these projects are equally important in the development of the City’s Comprehensive Plan and will help the
29,000 people currently living in the City (bordered by Cherokee County to the north and west; Forsyth County to the east;
Roswell to the southwest; and Alpharetta to the south and southeast) easing their current traffic congestion as well as
improving the City’s infrastructure. This proposal specifically addresses the City’s need to solicit a qualified consultant
engineering/planning firm to provide needed engineering and related services. URS is one of the few firms within Metro
Atlanta that can provide almost all engineering and related services from within its own organization. With the exception of
geotechnical, survey and subsurface utilities which will be provided by a team of highly qualified sub-consultants, URS will
directly render the City with all of the services needed to complete any engineering task assigned. Our services will include but
are not limited to Roadway Design, Traffic Engineering and Operations, Bridge/Structural Design, Environmental
Services/Permitting, Future Growth Analysis, and Transportation Infrastructure Evaluation. The future growth expected for
the City of Milton will fuel the demand for more development and further increase in the construction of commercial and
residential communities. This has been seen in the Crabapple Crossroads Community Area where development comes with
dramatic increases in the number of vehicles and significant increases in the number of miles traveled through the City roads.
The resulting strain on the operational efficiencies, safety, and structural integrity of the existing roadways could not help but
create the need for more improvements.
Since the proposed project manager, Loai El-Gazairly, currently lives in the City of Milton he is well aware of where the traffic
problems exist and is ready to develop solutions that will fit within the City budget. Loai will be sensitive to the schedule and
budgetary constraints and, therefore, realizes that the ultimate solution for this and all other situations will depend on
consideration of all constraints.
The City of Milton has many priorities under this program and we know URS can deliver on the City’s needs. Our team
conducted a site visit to some of the potential projects described in the RFQ and identified some key issues that include:
¾ Intersection of Arnold Mill (SR 140) and New Providence Rd. This is a T-
intersection with sharp skew angle that is less than 70 degrees which proven to be
hazardous both to safety and intersection operation. The conditions at the
intersection combined with the existence of the Arnold Mill Fire Station may delay
emergency response that could jeopardize public safety. Traffic improvement may
include widening, realigning or signalizing the intersection in order to provide for
better visibility and reduction in at-angle accidents.
¾ Intersection of Birmingham Hwy 372 and Providence. Birmingham Hwy and
Providence Road currently have one through lane in each direction with no turning
lanes. Providence Hwy is stop-controlled at Birmingham Hwy and while the
intersection capacity may have not been the controlling factor in the design, traffic
safety is the major concern. Both the horizontal and vertical alignments proven to be
deficient. Providence Road needs to be realigned to improve the angle at which it
intersects with Birmingham Hwy. In addition, horizontal, vertical, and intersection
sight distances need to be improved for better visibility before, at and after the
intersection.
¾ Intersection at Mayfield and Mid Broadwell. The intersection is the home of the
Alpharetta Art Center at Crabapple and the Alpharetta Municipal Court complex,
thus causing unsatisfactory levels of service and intersection delay. Mayfield is a two
lane road with an exclusive right turn east bound onto Broadwell Road. Adding right
turn lanes to all approaches while providing exclusive left turn lanes into Broadwll
Road in both directions will reduce delay time and increase traffic efficiency.
Commercial and residential growth is expected to continue around the intersection
and the demand for intersection improvement is imminent at this location.
Planning Services
As specified in the RFQ, URS also is fully capable of providing a wide range of planning related services to the City of Milton
as described below.
Future Growth Analysis: The Atlanta metropolitan area has seen double-digit growth over the last three decades and most
analysts agree that the growth trend is not going to subside soon. As a result, it is vital that local governments seek
opportunities to grow smartly in order to have time to address issues associated with growth – most notably, congestion. Like

syrup on a table, the Atlanta region has no natural boundaries to stop development from moving further out. As a result, it is
imperative that smart growth programs and policies are analyzed and implemented as soon as possible. Using the US Census
and ARC’s growth models, the URS Team will be able to produce growth analyses to allow City leaders and citizens to make
informed decisions about how they would like to grow over the coming decades. Additionally, as the population continues to
grow older, it is important to establish policies now to ensure that opportunities will exist for housing developed for seniors
and allow for the development of transportation alternatives.
Identify Short and Long Term Projects and Establish Project Priorities: Using a variety of analytical tools such as the
ARC regional travel demand model, URS can identify strong projects that will address identified transportation needs
throughout the City. The projects will be grouped according to those that can be “early winners” for the City such as
signalization or turn lanes to those requiring more intensive review such as new roadways or significant roadway widening.
Once developed, the project listing will give the City the validation needed to effectively compete for limited transportation
dollars in the Atlanta region. Additionally, the list can be submitted to the state and ARC for incorporation into regional and
state transportation plans during the next update cycle. This can also give the citizens of Milton the information they need to
make informed decisions if new resource generation requires voter approval.
Creation of Transportation Impact Fee Program: Methodical development and implementation of an Impact Fee Program
can provide additional benefits and revenues to municipalities. The URS Team includes the firm of TischlerBise, Inc. who has
a national reputation for developing Impact Fee Programs through possessing considerable expertise in the areas of revenue
strategies, capital improvement planning, growth policy analysis, demographics, and economics, all of which are vital to
developing an Impact Fee Program. TischlerBise uses a proven approach for this task element that has led to the successful
implementation of hundreds of impact and capacity fees across the country including programs in Georgia.
Corridor Specific Planning Initiatives: URS has extensive knowledge of the development of corridor-based planning
initiatives having completed three corridor studies for the ARC in the last two years. The most extensive study along the SR 6
corridor in Paulding, Cobb, Douglas, and Fulton Counties proved to be complex. At the conclusion of the study, consensus
was reached on a variety of policies and projects for the SR 6 corridor including major roadway expansions, smart access
management policies, mitigation of the impact to environmentally sensitive areas, and potential funding sources for future
implementation among other things.
Alternate Modes of Transportation: Travel demand management (TDM) strategies can expand the range of mobility
options, incentivize the use of alternative modes of transportation, reduce the need for single-occupant travel, promote more
efficient management of land use and parking, and introduce suburban design strategies that reflect community values. In the
case of the City of Milton, the URS team will tailor TDM strategies specifically to the area to ensure the character of the
surrounding area is preserved. While intensive high-density development around a transit node may not be appropriate, the
need to provide City residents with options to the single-occupant vehicle becomes apparent. This can be achieved by a variety
of methods including shuttle systems and other new transit connections to existing facilities such as the MARTA Windward
Parkway park and ride facility.
Financial analysis and funding options: Using the most up-to-date tools, URS staff can cost out all projects to ensure City
leaders are provided the full picture of project cost prior to performance of design work. This also gives the City the ability to
internalize its prioritization process when submitting new projects to the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) or Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP). URS staff can also research and suggest a variety of innovative funding mechanisms to allow the
City to implement projects in a timely fashion and begin to address congestion, mobility, and safety issues.
Important Issues
Project Manager’s ability to complete project within schedules: Loai El-Gazairly, Ph.D., P.E, has more than 26 years
experience managing projects within budget and on schedule. He managed projects that ranged from $10 million to $350
million with many satisfied customers and clients. Being a tax payer to the City of Milton, Loai is very conscientious about how
the allocated budget should be spent with maximum return to the City residents.
Public Outreach: Support of the community can deliver a project that is both politically and aesthetically satisfactory. By
getting all stakeholders involved from the very beginning and accounting for all of their input, URS will produce rational, safe,
and efficient transportation facilities and programs that are within the financial, operational, and aesthetic demands of the
community.

Utility Coordination – Utility coordination during design development can be cumbersome and can delay project schedules.
It is URS’ belief to be responsive when coordinating with utility companies and contact them early and often to insure that
schedules are met and no unforeseen conflicts arise during construction.
Multiple project design teams give URS the ability to complete multiple projects at the same time and at the highest level of quality – If the
City desires to accelerate its transportation/planning program, the ability to deliver several projects at the same time will be a
challenge for most engineering firms in the Atlanta area. URS has the staff and the technical abilities to simultaneously deliver
two or more projects to the City while still maintaining the highest standard of quality.

meet aggressive project schedules. Full resumes for our Project Manager, Design Lead and Transportation Planning Lead can
be found in the Resumes section of this submittal. The table following the Organizational Chart presents the entire team,
including their experience with drafting and design software.
Donald C. Harris, P.E. - Principal-in-Charge
Don Harris will serve as Principal-in-Charge for this contract. Mr. Harris’ multi-faceted 33-year career has given him experience
in roadway design, hydrology, retention/ detention, traffic engineering, construction, downtown planning, forensic engineering,
utility design and NEPA. In addition, his 12 year tenure with the Federal Highway Administration has trained him to function
in an oversight position. He is currently serving as the Office Manager for the URS office in Atlanta.

QA/QC Processes
URS Quality Programs established for each design project are modeled after our ISO-9001 compliant Corporate QA/QC
Program. Our quality approach offers a “life cycle” process that uses historical data, captures lessons learned, and promotes
performance improvements. This process is being used successfully on all projects to effectively and efficiently implement our
QA/QC program procedures. URS strives to provide the top quality service that our Clients expect from our engineering
team. We apply very stringent QA/QC procedures in order to guarantee the standard of work delivered to our Clients. Our
QA/QC procedures are Company policy and spell out the procedures and management practices that will be implemented by
our organization. We fully understand that it is not the Client’s responsibility to check our work and more importantly, that the
submitted document should be clear and error-free. URS has established standard QA/QC goals for the following categories:
Design
The Designer and Reviewer must confirm that computations are performed in an organized, logical sequence and are legible
and neat. Equally important, computations are ultimately delivered to the Client who will develop an impression of the quality
of our work based on the appearance, accuracy and neatness of our computations. Prior to receiving Notice To Proceed (NTP)
for each project, the Project Manager, with input from the Project Engineer, will develop a flow chart noting the design tasks
and milestone data required to achieve completion of the design activities in accordance with the predetermined schedule as
requested by the Client. We also investigate opportunities to accelerate the design activities to advance the delivery of the plan
design, thus allowing the Client the opportunity to construct the project ahead of schedule.
Drawings
At the start of the project, the Project Manager will establish the basic orientation, plan format and plan content, including
scales and direction of stationing. It is recognized that individual drawings are rarely completed in a single operation. Also,
many drawings are developed and checked on prints, such as cross sections and drainage, in several operational sequences.
Despite these complexities and variations, all drawing and checking procedures and sequences shall have a documented record
of the Designer’s and Reveiwer’s initials and dates for the performance of the work. This requirement also pertains to sketches,
study drawings and informal or backup drawings, which may not be submitted to the Client. The Designer shall be interpreted
to mean detailer/drafter or CADD Operator. The Reviewer shall be an Engineer.
Reviews
The Project Manager will prepare a Review Sign-Off Sheet that identifies the project, list all of the various phases included in
the project, and provide space alongside each phase for initials and dates of the various reviewers that are required by the
Quality Control Procedures. The project shall not be considered complete and ready for delivery to the Client until all required
sign-offs have been made. For Concept Review; as early as practical during the initial phase of the project, the Project
Manager will make a presentation of the project to an in-house review committee. This presentation will develop the project
needs and requirements, the problems encountered, the concepts and approach to solutions, the intended design responses to
Client and community concerns and all other items necessary for the committee to understand and comment on the project
and its design concepts and solutions. Upon completion of the review, and satisfactory resolutions of all comments, the Quality
Control Manager, as chairman of the committee, shall initial and date the sign-off sheet. For Preliminary and Final Plan
submittal packages; the Project Manager will review each set of plans and specifications for completeness prior to requesting
an Independent Technical Review. All internal review comments will be resolved and documented prior to submitting each
package to the Client for review. For Constructability; a complete set of plans, specifications and estimates shall be provided
for a review of the constructability of the project. A staff member who is experienced, qualified and knowledgeable of field
construction operations and procedures shall perform this review. This review shall be performed from a Contractor’s
viewpoint for constructability, clarity, ambiguity, practicality and/or omission of data required to construct the project.
Specifications
A pay item list will be established as soon as practical and will be continuously revised and updated as items are added or
deleted. Particular attention should be paid to pay limits, materials and construction procedures so that details and notations on
the plans are developed consistent with the key words of the specifications. The specifications and pay item list are to be readily
available to all designers. Each designer must become familiar with his or her content. The Project Manager or the
specification writer must review the standard specifications and the special provisions furnished by the Client. Specifications
prepared by the Client do not relieve the Design Team of responsibility for their applicability to the project and their

completeness for specific project requirements. Should our review of Client prepared specifications disclose the need for
additions, deletions or clarifications, the Client is to be so informed in writing with a request that the Client make the
appropriate modification and send us the revised specification. Special provisions and specifications prepared by the Design
Team will be reviewed by the Project Manager for pay limits, materials, any necessary construction procedures, clarity and
completeness.
