INTRODUCTION/UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT

The Town of East Montpelier (Town) has received a Bicycle and Pedestrian Program Grant through the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) for the East Montpelier Safety Improvement Project. The grant will fund the design and construction of safety improvements for pedestrians along US Route 2 in East Montpelier Village.

The project extends approximately ¼ mile along US Route 2, between the northern signalized intersection at VT Route 14, and the soon-to-be-reconstructed southern intersection of VT Route 14 adjacent to Bridge 68 over the Winooski River. This portion of US Route 2 is the center of East Montpelier and includes the Dudley General Store, US Post Office, cemetery, numerous commercial properties, and several residences.

The Town is requesting Statements of Qualifications from professional consultants to develop design drawings and bid documents in accordance with VTrans guidelines. The design is to be based on the recommendations contained in the Village Safety Enhancement Scoping Study prepared by DuBois & King (D&K) for the Town in 2012. The improvements include a Portland cement concrete sidewalk with granite curb along the west side of the road for the entire length of the project area and along the east side of the road for the northern third of the project area. A crosswalk is proposed across Quaker Road at the intersection of US Route 2 and may be included across US Route 2 at the Post Office. Drainage improvements are needed due to the addition of curbing and due to poor drainage conditions that already exist, particularly along the west side of the road. The project will also include widening of the roadway shoulders.

D&K has served as the consultant on numerous similar grant-funded projects, including sidewalk designs in Barre, Northfield, Bristol,Shelburne,Williamstown,Thetford,Brighton,Hardwick,Colchester, Essex, and Killington, among other Towns. Our extensive experience on similar municipal projects has provided D&K with a comprehensive understanding of the requirements associated with this project.

The project is funded through a $490,000 Bicycle and Pedestrian Program Grant. With the use of the grant, the project is administered through VTrans’ Local Transportation Facilities (LTF) Section. Therefore, it must be developed

in accordance with the VTrans 2009 LTF Guidebook for Municipally Managed Projects. This project will be managed for the Town by their Local Project Manager, Mr. Kevin Russell (supported by RSG, Inc.). The East Montpelier Town Administrator, Mr. Bruce Johnson, and the Village Committee will also actively participate on behalf of the Town. The project will be led through VTrans by Ms. Nancy Avery, Project Supervisor.

KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROJECT AREA

D&K has a strong interest in working with the Town of East Montpelier on this project. We support the Village Committee’s goals to improve pedestrian safety within the Village area, including school children. Our Project Manager, Mr. Evan Detrick, PE, managed the development of the Village Safety Enhancement Scoping Study and worked closely with the Village Committee on the vision for this project. Evan is thoroughly familiar with the project history, property owner issues, components of work, challenges,opportunities,andgoalsoftheTown.Heandseveralstaff members that also worked on the Study will continue on the design portion of the project, so that the Town can maintain the momentum generated on the Study to complete the design in an informed and efficient manner.

US Route 2 is a State highway throughout the project area. The project area is located between US Route 2’s intersectionswithVTRoute14–thenorthintersection(headingtowardsHardwick)andthesouthintersection(heading towards Barre). US Route 2 within the project limits is a two-lane roadway with an approximately 11-ft lane in each direction and very narrow shoulders. While there is at least one set of old roadway drawings that indicate the existing right-of-way of US Route 2 is 4-rods (66 ft) wide, the exact location of the old road and thus right-of-way would be difficult to determine without extensive field research and survey. VTrans has asserted a 3-rod (49.5 ft) width centered about the present day centerline in the development of their adjacent projects. This assumption simplifies the right-of-way process and avoids potential challenges from adjacent property owners. This approach should be taken by the Town for the same reasons.

The posted speed limit is 35 mph and the pavement is in fair to good condition. Green Mountain Power utility poles line the east side of the road approximately 20 ft from the roadway centerline. There are no pedestrian facilities along US Route 2 in the project area, except for the existing sidewalk north of Quaker Road. With no sidewalks or crosswalks, motor vehicles have the right-of-way, making crossing the roadway potentially dangerous for pedestrians. There is a wide, unchannelized access for the General Store and US Post Office, which are two of the major destinations in this area.

Children using the school bus must use the narrow roadway shoulders when walking along US Route 2.

Looking south from near the northern end of the project.



The existing stormwater collection facilities do not work well. The west side of US Route 2 has several catch basins located just north of the General Store; however, these structures do not appear to be positioned to collect much runoff. Runoff flows down the roadway shoulder across the General Store and Post Office frontage and drains onto the downhill yards. This condition has created an erosion problem in the yard areas. Better collection and conveyance of drainage is needed throughout the project area to minimize erosion and to control stormwater runoff. There is an existing box culvert beneath US Route 2 (approximately 4 ft by 4 ft) near the middle of the project area. This culvert will likely need to be extended to accommodate the new sidewalk.

VTrans completed the reconfiguration of the intersection of US Route 2 and VT Route 14 north, by realigning US Route 2 and VT Route 14 and installing a traffic signal. VTrans is also developing design plans for the replacement of the VT Route 14 Bridge 68 over the Winooski River. East Montpelier’s project to improve pedestrian access in the area will connect the sidewalks from both VTrans projects.

D&K coordinated with VTrans and their consultant for the replacement of Bridge 68 over the Winooski River. The project includes a sidewalk attached to the north side of the bridge. The Bridge 68 project also includes the addition of a left turn lane for southbound US Route 2 and the addition of a traffic signal at the intersection. The traffic signal will include a conduit under US Route 2, so wiring can be added to accommodate pedestrian signal heads. This measure will make it easy and safe for a pedestrian crossing to be made at this location, so the sidewalk from the bridge can be connected to the Town’s proposed sidewalk along the west side of US Route 2. We will secure a copy of the current plans prepared for this project as the design of the Safety Improvement Project is initiated to ensure the sidewalk design matches the roadway widening, retaining wall, traffic signal supports, etc. Based on a recent discussion with VTrans Project Manager Mark Sargent, this project is scheduled for construction in 2016. We will continue to coordinate with Mark as the two projects are advanced through final design to ensure VTrans understands the Town's goals for the sidewalk and to ensure the design drawings are compatible.

D&K will coordinate directly with VTrans to understand the final configuration of the improvements associated with the Bridge 68 replacement project and to ensure the sidewalk improvements blend seamlessly.

D&K understands that the Town had asked VTrans previously to provide pedestrian amenities between their two projects, but VTrans would not provide a pedestrian connection due to complications with the owner of the General Store(Mr.JeffBiron).Mr.Biron’scooperationisanimportantgoalofthesidewalkproject.HeownstheDudleyGeneralStore,thePostOfficebuilding,thegarage,andtheJockeyHollowparcels.AswiththeStudy,earlycontactwill be made directly with Mr. Biron so that the Town can maximize the level of discussion and cooperation.

The Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission (CVRPC) completed a Visioning Study (Village Study Report) for the East Montpelier Village area. We have obtained a copy of this Report, reviewed its contents, and discussed it with the CVRPC and Village Committee. The proposed sidewalk should not be considered an isolated project, but should be considered one piece of the greater Village circulation plan. Any updates to the Town’s vision for the overall circulation plan that have been made since the time of the Study will be considered in the design of the Safety Improvement Project.

D&K understands this is primarily a pedestrian enhancement project; however, in addition to sidewalks, the project will include crosswalks, signing, and access control. We will actively engage the Village Committee and the public to understand the community’s goals and to help develop a project that improves safety, as well as the character of the Village. Our approach to this project is to help the community define and implement its vision for this corridor. We are sensitive to the Town’s desire to not only enhance safety and mobility, but also create a streetscape that is functional and attractive.

KEYS TO THE SUCCESS OF THE PROJECT

Public Involvement

Soliciting input from the public will be important to the success of this project. Public meetings were conducted during the Study phase and valid concerns were raised. We will continue the public outreach initiated under the Study phase and work with owners to identify and address concerns wherever possible. Outreach will include contact with individual property owners during preliminary design and as the right-of-way phase is initiated. In addition to discussions with individual owners, the process will include public meetings with the general public to solicit feedback on the design.

Village Committee Partnering

The Village Committee has been established to help guide the responsible growth of East Montpelier. The Committee’s participation in the development of the Study was important to identify and discuss alternatives consistent with the community’s

vision. We will actively partner with the Committee to discuss ideas and the elements of the design. We will do this by meeting with the Committee and discussing updates since the completion of the Study and their expectations for this project. We will present our ideas for feedback and discussion and work with the Committee to develop a design that not only meets the intent of the Grant, but also complements the community’s vision.

Knowledge of the LTF and overall VTrans Project Development Process

This project is being administered by VTrans through their LTF Program and must be developed in accordance with the 2009 VTrans LTF Guidebook for Municipally Managed Projects. Evan Detrick has a thorough understanding of the LTF Project Development Process through his work on over 35 LTF projects. Evan’s work has involved a variety of projects, including feasibility studies for sidewalk, pathway, and streetscape projects; roadway reconstruction projects and intersection improvements; and the design of sidewalk and pathway projects. Evan has managed and assisted VTrans and municipalities on numerous transportation projects.HeknowsandunderstandstheLTFprogramanditsprojectrequirements and expectations, and will bring this experience and familiarity to East Montpelier for the benefit of this project.

This project is located on a section of US Route 2, which is a State owned and controlled highway. VTrans’ Maintenance District, Right-of-WayandUtilitiesSection,HighwaySafetyandDesignSection, and the Bike and Pedestrian Coordinator will have concerns with any work within their right-of-way. VTrans’ staff will need to be involved throughout the development of the design. VTrans will have concerns about offsets to curb lines, drainage, crosswalks, pavement markings, signing, curb ramps, snow-plowing, and the control of property access (driveway consolidation). The coordination and discussions initiated during the Study phase will continue throughout the design process.

PROJECT APPROACH

D&K’s primary objective is to produce a high quality project within the defined budget and schedule. We intend to achieve this objective by implementation of, and adherence to, our Project Management plan, as outlined below.

Issue Resolution: Identify, discuss, and resolve the key design issues early in the project. From project inception, DuBois & King will facilitate and promote solution oriented discussions of pedestrian, access, drainage, and right-of-way issues.

Communications: Continue issue resolution through regularly scheduled meetings, phone discussions, and e-mails throughout the project. Additionally, monthly reports will be prepared and submitted to the Town.

Because the project is located on US Route 2, which falls under the jurisdiction of VTrans, the design

drawings must be developed in the MicroStation CADD format. D&K has

extensive experience developing plans in MicroStation for VTrans.

Revised April, 2009



Project Manager: Assign a project manager that has the required experience and expertise to successfully complete the project.EvanDetrick,PE,willbeinvolvedwiththisprojectfrombeginningthroughcompletion.HewillprovideQA/QC reviews as the project advances and oversee the activities of the design staff.

Design Team: Assign a qualified design team that will remain on the project through completion. Lucy Gibson, PE, will lead the design team that has demonstrated experience in project development with similar projects. D&K's design team has extensive experience with the many aspects of this project and has significant experience in the development of VTrans based roadway, sidewalk, intersection, and similar transportation related projects. The design team is supported by sufficient in-house engineering and CADD capacity to maintain project schedules.

AVAILABILITY OF TECHNICAL DISCIPLINES

Our staff has considerable project experience and “project tested” technical capabilities to complete the East Montpelier Safety Improvement Project. D&K has assembled a team of professionals to complete the project in an efficient and focused manner. D&K will be the prime consultant and will be supported by archaeological and historic subconsultant team members if necessary.

D&K has supported VTrans and municipalities with a wide range of transportation services for the past 30 years. We have advanced planning studies, conceptual design, final design, environmental documentation, right-of-way determinations, and services during construction on hundreds of projects. These projects have resulted in direct experience working with the VTrans staff on developing plans, specifications, and cost estimates. D&K offers a dedicated and knowledgeable staff to assist the Town with this project. As a central Vermont-based, multi-disciplined consulting engineering firm, our in-house services include:

• Roadway design • Public participation• Bicycle and pedestrian facility design • Traffic analysis and signalization • Survey • Right-of-way • Utility identification and coordination • Environmental clearances (NEPA) and permitting• Drainage stormwater management and hydraulic design • Construction cost estimating• Highwayresurfacing • Constructionmanagementandinspection

Our experience includes multi-year, retainer contracts with VTrans, for the following services:

• ProgramDevelopment • HighwayResurfacing• Survey • Policy and Planning• Environmental • Roadway and Safety

“DuBois & King, Inc., has been part of Pavement Management’s design consultant service contract for many years. I have only had the pleasure of working with them for the last two years...I recommend submitting future projects to DuBois & King for future proposals and look forward to having them as a consultant design firm.”

Ted Domey, VTrans, Consultant Performance Evaluation, Highway Resurfacing Services



• Safe Routes to School • Covered Bridge• ROW and Boundary • Aviation• Stormwater Management

We will apply the knowledge from our prior and ongoing experience working with VTrans and municipalities to successfully develop this project.

The University of Vermont Consulting Archaeology Program (UVM CAP) conducted an archeological resource assessment previously for the project during the Study phase. They concluded that there were no archaeologically sensitive resource areas within the project limits. We will submit their report to VTrans during the design phase for their concurrence during the Section 106 review process. If needed, UVM CAP will be available for any follow-up work to facilitate the completion of the archeological resource review.

Mary Jo Llewellyn conducted a historic structures review previously for the project during the Study phase. She concluded that although the Village area is historically significant, the proposed improvements would have no effect on historic resources. We will submit her report to VTrans during the design phase for their concurrence during the Section 106 review process. If needed, Ms. Llewellyn will be available for any follow-up work to facilitate the completion of the historic resource review.

DuBois & King’s Project Manager and other team members identified herein will be dedicated to this assignment for the life of the project. This will be an effective means of facilitating communications, assuring quality control, and meeting the schedule of deliverables so that the project can remain on schedule and within budget.

SCHEDULE

The Town’s RFQ requests that an anticipated schedule be provided for the development of the project, assuming a July 1, 2014 start date. The schedule on these types of projects depends largely on several key items. These include the NEPA environmental clearance, acquisition of right-of-way, and utility relocations (when involved). While an exact scope of work has not been developed at this time, D&K has extensive experience on similar projects and has a good idea of what the scope of services will need to be. The largest unknowns, as far as the schedule, will be the time to review and approve the NEPA document and the time for the Town to acquire the rights needed to construct the project (we expect that temporary construction rights and some permanent drainage and/or sidewalk rights will be needed). Our anticipated schedule is indicated on the next page.

D&K’s team is available to begin working immediately on the Village Safety

Improvement Project. Our multidiscipline team has the depth of staff to fully

support the effort needed to adequately develop the design in a timely manner.

ABILITY TO MEET SCHEDULES & BUDGETS

Our team’s approach to project development is simple and straightforward. By following the steps below, we will ensure the project is developed in a timely and cost-effective manner:

• Understand project goals, limits, and objectives• Early identification and action related to permitting and NEPA• Work closely with all project participants as a team• Define a reasonable budget• Define a scope and schedule that follows the VTrans process and allows for adequate time to perform reviews,

acquire easements, and solicit public input• Enable the Town to reach informed, fact-based decisions • Gain concurrence on issues and document decisions• Develop deliverables consistent with VTrans formats and organizational guidelines

The proposed D&K schedule shown on the prior page allows approximately 2 years to complete the survey, design, permitting, and contract documents, and to acquire the needed easements. Four weeks has generally been allowed for the Town and VTrans to review and issue comments on submissions. We have also assumed that the review and approval of the Categorical Exclusion (CE) documentation (NEPA) at VTrans can be completed in 2 months, and we have allowed approximately 6 months to complete the right-of-way process. The timeframes of the last two activities are somewhat aggressive, but should be achievable. Our goal is to have the project go to construction in 2016, which coincides with the current schedule of the Bridge 68 replacement project.

We have reviewed our workload projections and have capacity to deliver timely services on this project. With a staff of 90, D&K has the capacity to support this project. With our understanding of the LTF process, knowledge of the project site, and experience providing services for similar projects, D&K is prepared to deliver the professional services within the proposed schedule timeline.

Technical Abilities

Transportation Planning - DuBois & King's Transportation Planning staff includes planners and engineers experienced in working with communities, agencies, and the public on a variety of transportation planning projects. Our approach is to be well informed of public and community concerns, consider the important influences between land use and transportation design, and incorporate community goals and visions into the plans. Our staff is well versed in the latest innovations of multimodal land use/transportation planning, including mode share analysis for developments, evaluation of road diets, and development of Complete Streets designs. Communities are rediscovering the importance of well-designed streetscapes that accommodate multiple transportation modes and balance safety, mobility, aesthetics, and environmental elements. The D&K team has experience working with communities to develop streetscape design concepts, street design guidelines, and construction documents for improvements that incorporate bicycles, pedestrians, transit, parking, and automobiles in a limited space. In addition, our design teams bring a comprehensive understanding of local, Federal, and State programs and requirements.

Extensive Bike and Ped Experience in VT - D&K staff members assigned to this project have considerable experience developing pathway and sidewalk projects. Recent experience includes design, permitting, and construction phase services of over 12 miles of pedestrian pathways in Vermont, and sidewalks in Colchester, Barre, Shelburne, Northfield, Alburgh, and Killington.

Public Engagement - In our work for communities all around northern New England, D&K routinely uses various graphic techniques to enhance public presentations. PowerPoint, boards, SimTraffic model simulations, SketchUp modeling, and aerial photographs are all part of the “toolkit” that we use to present information and convey ideas; engage the public, agency officials, clients, and other interested parties; and help our audience visualize what our projects will look like.

Bridge/Structures Engineering - This project may include the extension of the existing box culvert beneath US Route 2 to accommodate the construction of the sidewalk on the west side of the roadway. D&K has rehabilitated, improved, or replaced dozens of small bridges and culverts for municipalities and State agencies. We have developed many of these projects directly for VTrans on State highways. Our full-time bridge engineering staff is familiar with the latest codes and design requirements. Because we routinely work for both municipalities and VTrans, we know how to design cost effective structures that meet State requirements.

Funding News

There have been many dedicated

people associated with this project,

including Mr. Charlie Semprebon,

who, when he passed away last

year, bequeathed a total of $1

million to the two communities,

specifically intended to plan,

design and construct this new bike

path and link the two community

paths together.

The Study phase of the new path

project is being funded by the

CVRPC, and the City and Town

through the use of Semprebon

funds. It is one of the first steps

in determining the best use of

the Charles Semprebon bequeath for the implementation of non-motorized

transportation/recreational facilities in the City and Town. The City and Town

have organized committees to study and direct the use of the Semprebon

funds, and asked the CVRPC to take this first step in studying the extension of

pathways throughout Barre.

“People are different on a path. On a town sidewalk

strangers may make eye contact, but that’s all. On

a path like this [Stowe, VT] they smile, say hello, and

pet one another’s dogs. I think every community in

America should have a greenway.”

Did you know that a study is being performed

to construct a new bike path that connects

the existing Barre City Bike Path to downtown

Barre, and to Barre Town’s Millstone Hill

West Path, providing another link for our

communities. The path will also provide links

to important cultural and historic resources and

possibly the Spaulding High School Campus.

This linkage is part of the overall Central Vermont

Bike Path that runs from the railroad junction in

Montpelier, through Montpelier, into Berlin, then

Barre City and ending in Barre Town. Portions

of this overall path are already constructed,

portions are under design, and several are in

the planning and design process.

This project was initiated by the City and Town

of Barre by beginning discussions regarding

alignment alternatives, opening discussions

with several property owners, and conducting

joint informational meetings.

Bike paths provide a mode of access to work,

school, and community amenities. Paths

promote healthy lifestyles by providing a safe

and enjoyable place for families and friends to

exercise and socialize.

KNOWLEDGE OF FEDERAL AND STATE STANDARDS AND POLICIES

This project is being advanced through the VTrans Local Transportation Facilities Section and will need to follow the procedures outlined in the LTF Guidebook for Municipally Managed Projects. Furthermore, because the project is utilizing federal funds, additional standards, policies, and procedures must be followed.

D&K has advanced a large number of Federal and State funded projects through LTF since VTrans established this program in the 1990s. Projects have included pedestrian enhancements, municipal bridge rehabilitations, and roadway/intersection improvements. Over this time, we have worked very closely with LTF staff and have utilized and incorporated the requirements in the LTF Guidebook for Municipally Managed Projects. The experience has included each phase of the project, including Phase A: Project Definition, Phase B: Project Design, and Phase C: Project Construction.

One key Federal process requirement is the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). To be eligible for Federal funds, this project must complete this process and obtain NEPA clearances. For this project, a Categorical Exclusion (CE) document will be required.

Our team has the experience required to successfully complete the regulatory requirements and keep the project on track and in compliance with funding requirements. Our experience with the regulatory requirements allows us to resolve potential issues early in the project and effectively avoid long-term problems. Through our work on many projects throughout the State, we are familiar with:

State Regulatory Processes

• VTrans/LTFdevelopmentprocess • Landusepermitting• Visualassessment/aesthetics • Wetlandsidentification/mitigation• Threatened/endangeredspecies • Stormwaterdischarge• Water/wastewaterregulations • Trafficimpacts/mitigation• Act250permit/amendmentapplications • ConditionalUseDeterminations

Federal Regulatory Processes

• NEPAcompliance • USArmyCorpsofEngineers• FHWAapprovals • USDAForestServiceapprovals• NPDES and Construction Stormwater

D&K's permitting specialist will review the project with regulatory agencies to gather information on the applicable permitting and approval processes at the inception of the project.
