limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and the costs of appellate proceedings) to
which any such Indemnified Party may become subject, under any theory of liability whatsoever

employees, agents, or any tier of subcontractor in connection with Consultant’s work or services
in the performance of this Agreement. The amount and type of insurance coverage requirements
set forth below will in no way be construed as limiting the scope of the indemnity in this Section.

11.1 General.
A. Insurer Qualifications. Without limiting any obligations or
liabilities of Consultant, Consultant shall purchase and maintain, at its own expense,
hereinafter stipulated minimum insurance with insurance companies authorized to do

3
business in the State of Arizona pursuant to ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 20-206, as amended,
with an AM Best, Inc. rating of A- or above with policies and forms satisfactory to the
Town. Failure to maintain insurance as specified herein may result in termination of this
Agreement at the Town’s option.
B. No Representation of Coverage Adequacy. By requiring insurance
herein, the Town does not represent that coverage and limits will be adequate to protect
Consultant. The Town reserves the right to review any and all of the insurance policies
and/or endorsements cited in this Agreement, but has no obligation to do so. Failure to
demand such evidence of full compliance with the insurance requirements set forth in this
Agreement or failure to identify any insurance deficiency shall not relieve Consultant
from, nor be construed or deemed a waiver of, its obligation to maintain the required
insurance at all times during the performance of this Agreement.
C. Additional Insured. All insurance coverage and self-insured
retention or deductible portions, except Workers’ Compensation insurance and
Professional Liability insurance, if applicable, shall name, to the fullest extent permitted
by law for claims arising out of the performance of this Agreement, the Town, its agents,
representatives, officers, directors, officials and employees as Additional Insured as
specified under the respective coverage sections of this Agreement.
D. Coverage Term. All insurance required herein shall be maintained
in full force and effect until all work or services required to be performed under the terms
of this Agreement are satisfactorily performed, completed and formally accepted by the
Town, unless specified otherwise in this Agreement.
E. Primary Insurance. Consultant’s insurance shall be primary
insurance with respect to performance of this Agreement and in the protection of the
Town as an Additional Insured.
F. Claims Made. In the event any insurance policies required by this
Agreement are written on a “claims made” basis, coverage shall extend, either by keeping
coverage in force or purchasing an extended reporting option, for three years past
completion and acceptance of the services. Such continuing coverage shall be evidenced
by submission of annual Certificates of Insurance citing applicable coverage is in force
and contains the provisions as required herein for the three-year period.
G. Waiver. All policies, except for Professional Liability, including
Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall contain a waiver of rights of recovery
(subrogation) against the Town, its agents, representatives, officials, officers and
employees for any claims arising out of the work or services of Consultant. Consultant
shall arrange to have such subrogation waivers incorporated into each policy via formal
written endorsement thereto.

set forth in these requirements may provide coverage that contains deductibles or self-
insured retention amounts. Such deductibles or self-insured retention shall not be
2123441.1
4
applicable with respect to the policy limits provided to the Town. Consultant shall be
solely responsible for any such deductible or self-insured retention amount.
I. Use of Subcontractors. If any work under this Agreement is
subcontracted in any way, Consultant shall execute written agreements with its
subcontractors containing the indemnification provisions set forth in this Section and
insurance requirements set forth herein protecting the Town and Consultant. Consultant
shall be responsible for executing any agreements with its subcontractors and obtaining
certificates of insurance verifying the insurance requirements.
J. Evidence of Insurance. Prior to commencing any work or services
under this Agreement, Consultant will provide the Town with suitable evidence of
insurance in the form of certificates of insurance and a copy of the declaration page(s) of
the insurance policies as required by this Agreement, issued by Consultant’s insurance
insurer(s) as evidence that policies are placed with acceptable insurers as specified herein
and provide the required coverages, conditions and limits of coverage specified in this
Agreement and that such coverage and provisions are in full force and effect.
Confidential information such as the policy premium may be redacted from the
declaration page(s) of each insurance policy, provided that such redactions do not alter
any of the information required by this Agreement. The Town shall reasonably rely upon
the certificates of insurance and declaration page(s) of the insurance policies as evidence
of coverage but such acceptance and reliance shall not waive or alter in any way the
insurance requirements or obligations of this Agreement. If any of the policies required
by this Agreement expire during the life of this Agreement, it shall be Consultant’s
responsibility to forward renewal certificates and declaration page(s) to the Town 30 days
prior to the expiration date. All certificates of insurance and declarations required by this
Agreement shall be identified by referencing the RFQ number and title or this
Agreement. A $25.00 administrative fee shall be assessed for all certificates or
declarations received without the appropriate RFQ number and title or a reference to this
Agreement, as applicable. Additionally, certificates of insurance and declaration page(s)
of the insurance policies submitted without referencing the appropriate RFQ number and
title or a reference to this Agreement, as applicable, will be subject to rejection and may
be returned or discarded. Certificates of insurance and declaration page(s) shall

or a consultant to any other party of the Agreement with respect to the subject matter of the
Agreement.
12.5 Gratuities. The Town may, by written notice to the Consultant, cancel this

physically amended to make such insertion or correction.

represents the entire agreement of the parties with respect to its subject matter, and all previous
agreements, whether oral or written, entered into prior to this Agreement are hereby revoked and

the Town to insist upon the strict performance of any term or condition of this Agreement or to
exercise or delay the exercise of any right or remedy provided in this Agreement, or by law, or
the Town’s acceptance of and payment for services, shall not release the Consultant from any

STATEMENT OF QUALIFICATIONSSaguaro Boulevard
January 8, 2014 » Prepared for Town of Fountain Hills » TR760090.13 » Prepared by
Section 4: Project Understanding and Approach
On November 5, 2013 the citizens of the Town of Fountain
Hills voted by a large margin to approve the road bond
to reconstruct Saguaro Boulevard. As one of the main
thoroughfares into the Town, Saguaro Boulevard sees sig-
nificant traffic and is an important connector to the Town’s
downtown area and Fountain Park. The pavement is at the
end of its service life and the significant drainage problems
have made this roadway the primary focus of the road
bond. Significant planning and coordination among Town
leaders, citizen committees, Town staff, and the public
have led to the passage of the $8.2 million road bond. The
Kimley-Horn Team members worked with Town staff over
the past three years providing valuable information such
as the pavement recommendations, Saguaro Boulevard/
Avenue of the Fountains intersection analysis and the
Avenue of the Fountains east end plaza design.
APPROACH TO PLANNING
Kimley-Horn uses a proactive planning approach to miti-
gate potential issues throughout the design. The planning
phase of a project starts even before notice-to-proceed; it
starts prior to and during the RSOQ phase. The Kimley-
Horn Team has already:
▶Discussed the project over the past two years with
Town staff including Paul Mood, Randy Harrel, Ken
Kurth, and Jim Michalak.
▶Walked all project segments to gain a full understand-
ing of the project constraints.
▶Developed a preliminary detailed scope that reflects
the Town’s project goals within budget and on-sched-
ule. Our initial efforts in preparing a scope will
expedite the scoping process and allow the Town
to have a consultant under contract as soon as
possible.
Our approach to planning includes refinement of the proj-
ect scope items such as:
▶Full depth pavement replacement
▶Replace extruded curb
▶ADA upgrades
▶Drainage improvements at Palisades Boulevard and
Desert Canyon Golf Club
▶New traffic signal at Palisades Boulevard
▶Avenue of the Fountains improvements
▶Other miscellaneous improvements
APPROACH TO DESIGNING
Our understanding and approach to the major technical
and coordination design issues are outlined in our Fig-
ure 1 – Project Features Map (Page 6) and are further
discussed in the following paragraphs.
»SAGUARO BOULEVARD PAVEMENT
RECONSTRUCTION
The Kimley-Horn Team has evaluated the proposed pave-
ment section options discussed in RAMM’s Pavement
Evaluation. The following Table 1 – Proposed Pavement
Section Evaluation provides the anticipated construction
costs for each pavement section option:
Major considerations for the Saguaro Boulevard pavement
reconstruction include:
▶As shown in Table 1, there is very good potential
that constructing a pavement section of 4.5 inches
of asphalt concrete pavement (AC) over 4 inches of
aggregate base course (ABC) would provide the same,
or even less, cost as the 4 inches of AC over 6 inches
of ABC presented at the Pre-Submittal Conference.
Utilizing this proposed pavement section offers
the advantages of less removal and disposal of
existing AC, ABC, and subgrade materials as well
as minimizes impacts over existing utilities under
the pavement.
▶Since there is a substantial amount of existing pave-
ment, subgrade, and extruded curb to be removed, the
Town may want to pulverize these materials so they
can be used for backfill material. Providing the con-
tractor with a nearby location to haul and store these
materials can provide a cost savings to the Town on
these removal items as well as provide ready backfill
material for future Town projects.
▶As part of the recent fuel spill that occurred in No-
vember 2013 along the south end of the project limits,
much of the necessary infrastructure cleanup is cur-
rently being addressed including curb reconstruction
and replacement of pavement and subgrade
soils along the west bike lane. Our Team is
fully capable of providing any additional soil
remediation services.
»EXTRUDED CURB REMOVAL AND
REPLACEMENT
There are approximately 50,000 feet of exist-
ing extruded curb (curb constructed on the
AC surface) along Saguaro Boulevard as part
of the original roadway construction. As part
of this project, the Town wishes to remove
and replace the extruded curb with new curb
and gutter and single curb.

Some of the major considerations for the extruded curb
replacement include:
▶Any existing trees that are heaving and causing dam-
age to the existing curb will be replaced. Based on our
field review of the project limits there are a few trees
that should be removed because they damage the
existing curb.
▶Protection and restoration of existing landscape will be
identified in the construction documents. A success-
ful approach on previous projects has language in the
specifications requiring the contractor to remove, store,
and re-spread the existing decomposed granite (DG)
adjacent to the curb replacement. The contractor
would reuse the DG rather than remove and install
new DG, providing construction cost savings for
the Town.
▶Construction of the new curb will need to protect and/
or replace various existing property owner and utility
features (e.g. mailboxes, decorative riprap swales,
landscape meter boxes, etc.).
▶Where there is extruded curb replacement adjacent to
attached sidewalk, an approach shown in Figure 2 to
the right will be used to protect the existing sidewalk.

▶Figure 3 provides an alternative detail to the Town’s
Driveway Connection Detail (FH-255) where roll curb
and gutter could be used in order to avoid recon-
structing portions of the existing concrete residential
driveways. Eliminating the need to reconstruct
these driveways would be a considerable savings
to the Town, especially where there are numerous
residential driveways along the northern limits of
the project.
»ADA IMPROVEMENTS
As part of the proposed improvements, the Kimley-Horn
Team will provide recommendations to the Town for
proposed ADA improvements within the project limits. As
shown on our Project Features Map, we have identified
some of the locations where ADA improvements are antici-
pated. One of the key considerations will be to ensure that
there is appropriate right-of-way to construct the neces-
sary ADA improvements.
»DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
Significant flooding occurs in two general areas: the
Saguaro Boulevard/Palisades Boulevard intersection and
along the Desert Canyon Golf Club between Palmer Way
and Ledford Lane. The Town had previously prepared
preliminary design plans (updated September 2011) for the
proposed drainage improvements in these areas.
The drainage design will require utility potholing to confirm
the location of existing utilities, temporary construction
easements (TCE) and drainage easements, and additional
geotechnical borings to confirm subsurface soil types and
corrosive soil properties at proposed storm drain depths.
Drainage improvements along Saguaro Boulevard
between Palmer Way and Ledford Lane will consist of
removing substandard masonry block catch basins with
steel covers and replacing with new standard concrete
catch basins. The proposed
improvements include new
catch basins, inlet headwalls,
and corrugated metal pipe
(CMP). We have reviewed
the improvement plans and
will update to incorporate
the latest MAG details and
standards.
At the Saguaro Boulevard/
Palisades Boulevard inter-
section, we have reviewed
the Town’s preliminary de-
sign plans. We recommend
a few design refinements
as shown in Figure 4 to
improve constructability,
allow for potential future
storm drain connections,
and reduce ponding by in-
clusion of slotted drain or
inlets with the connector
pipes. Installing appro -
priate landscape berms
and grading will prevent
the landscape rock from
washing into the street.
»NEW TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT SAGUARO
BOULEVARD/PALISADES BOULEVARD
The existing old MCDOT-type traffic signals will be replaced
at the Saguaro Boulevard/Palisades Boulevard intersection.
The skew of the intersection presents sight distance chal-
lenges, crosswalk limitations and requires careful placement
of traffic signal facilities. Our focus is to concentrate first on
the geometry and then phasing as these two elements af-
fect everything else. Figure 4 presents a summary of some
of the design considerations at this intersection.

The traffic signal replacement will be funded through the
Town’s CIP Fund which is separate from the road bond for
the Saguaro Boulevard Reconstruction Project. This will
require separate packages for the design fee, construction
documents, and construction costs associated with the
traffic signal improvements.
We will evaluate various design considerations to make
sure the traffic signals are in compliance with regional
standards. Provisions for future signal interconnect,
vehicular indication visibility, the use of the newly approved
flashing yellow arrows, pedestrian pushbutton locations,
incorporation of LED safety lighting, and intersection ap -
proach visibility will be addressed in our design.
»AVENUE OF THE FOUNTAINS
IMPROVEMENTS
The improvements to the Saguaro Boulevard/Avenue
of the Fountain intersection are a major component of
the roadway bond. The primary goal of the intersection
improvements is to provide increased pedestrian safety.
Based on past direction from Town management, the
road bond needed to specifically address the proposed
improvements at this intersection. It was determined that
the proposed improvements would consist of extending the
existing medians to provide more pedestrian refuge areas
and to complete the Avenue of the Fountains median im-
provements from Saguaro Boulevard west approximately
200 feet to the U-turn. This area is referred to as the East
End Plaza.
Figure 5 shows the proposed improvements to the
Saguaro Boulevard/Avenue of the Fountain intersection.
The proposed intersection improvements will consist of
extending the large wide Avenue of the Fountains median
to the east to provide a large pedestrian refuge area as
well as access to the East End Plaza area. Along Saguaro
Boulevard, the two medians will be extended towards the
center of the intersection past the existing painted cross-
walks to provide a pedestrian refuge area.
The design of the East End Plaza area as shown on
Figure 5 has already been approved by Town manage-
ment, which includes a new water feature and relocation of
the Rotary Club time clock.
»OTHER MISCELLANEOUS IMPROVEMENTS
▶Conduit for future traffic signals may be warranted in
the future. The cost to install conduit while Sa-
guaro Boulevard is being reconstructed is a very
minor and worthwhile cost to the overall project
and satisfies the Town’s possible future needs. An
example would be to install conduit within the Saguaro
Boulevard/Avenue of the Fountains intersection in the
event that a future traffic signal or a HAWK system
may be installed in the future.
▶Review other intersections along Saguaro Boulevard
for potential minor pedestrian safety or intersection
operation improvements. An example would be consid-
ering extending the existing Saguaro Boulevard raised
median at La Montana Drive to
provide a pedestrian refuge for
the southern crosswalk.
▶Assist the Town with
identifying future traffic inter-
connect needs. Although the
Town has existing interconnect
along Saguaro Boulevard from
Palisades Boulevard to Grande
Boulevard, these facilities need
to be upgraded from outdated
twisted-wire pair to fiber. Also,
the Town does not have any ex-
isting interconnect from Avenue
of the Fountains to Palisades
Boulevard.
▶Address adjacent areas
that should be improved if fund-
ing is available. Examples would
include restablishing the eroding slope along the west side
of Saguaro Boulevard south of Avenue of the Fountains
and fixing the condensation area in the northwest corner of
Saguaro Boulevard/Avenue of the Fountains.
»STAKEHOLDER COORDINATION
The Kimley-Horn Team has already had initial contact with
most of the major stakeholders and the following are major
considerations:
Partnering with the Public – Our public involvement
and outreach program includes ensuring the residents,
businesses, and local property owners know their input is
valuable and will be considered during the design. MakPro
specializes in public involvement and outreach for design
and construction projects. They will assist the Town in its
outreach efforts to build a unified understanding of the
Town’s mission by creating transparency, promoting the
Town’s image, and developing partnerships. Our methods
include individual notices to businesses and residents,
developing a comprehensive stakeholder database for on-

Individual Stakeholder Meetings – We will identify key
stakeholder groups, such as the Neighborhood Prop -
erty Owner’s Association (NPOA) and the Fountain
Hills Chamber of Commerce, to present information or
schedule individual stakeholder meetings during the plan-
ning. These meetings are the cornerstone for successfully
completing this project, as it is the adjacent stakeholders,
primarily the local residents and businesses, who are
impacted by this project.
Public Meetings – Input gathered from the Public Meet-
ings will be compiled and the Kimley-Horn Team will make
recommendations for design changes that can often be
incorporated into the design with little to no increase in
construction cost.
Create a Convenient Up-to-Date Project Website to
Inform and Receive Comments – For ongoing communi-
cations and information, our Team will develop a Saguaro
Boulevard Reconstruction Project website. A mock-up of
this website can currently be viewed at www.kimley-
horn.com/communication/MT/SaguaroBoulevardRecon -
struction for a sampling of the features available for
the public to view throughout the planning, design and
construction of this project (see Figure 6).
FCDMC Ashbrook Wash Improvements – The Town
and FCDMC have entered into an Intergovernmental
Agreement (IGA). The proposed Ashbrook Wash improve-
ments will consist of replacing three undersized existing
60-inch diameter CMPs that cross Saguaro Boulevard with
a new seven barrel, 10-foot wide by 4-foot high by 110-foot
long reinforced concrete box culvert. Scott Vogel, FCDMC
Project Manager, stated he is planning to complete their
in-house design by October 2014. Although FCDMC fund-
ing for construction is not programmed until Fiscal Year
2016 and 2017, Scott indicated that the FCDMC would be
open to accelerating the schedule for the Ashbrook Wash
Improvements to accommodate the proposed Saguaro
Boulevard Reconstruction Project. We will coordinate with
the Town and FCDMC to determine whether the Town has
enough available funding for their half of the Ashbrook
Wash Improvements to justify accelerating the Ashbrook
Wash Improvements Project. This would eliminate
throwaway reconstruction costs and reduce impacts
to adjacent residents and businesses.
Avenue of the Fountains Median Improvements –
The design for this project has been completed and Don
Campbell’s direct involvement on our project team will
provide the necessary experience and consistency needed
to ensure that these improvements are coordinated.
Shea Boulevard/Saguaro Boulevard Improvements –
The design of this
project is substan-
tially completed
and should be
constructed prior to
this project. As part
of these improve-
ments, the seg-
ment of Saguaro
Boulevard from
Shea Boulevard to
Monterey Drive will
include full pave-
ment reconstruc-
tion. The Kimley-
Horn Team will
coordinate with the
design consultant
to match these
improvements.
Fountain Hills Sanitary District 16-inch Force Main
Project – A 16-inch forcemain is planned from their facility
off of Pepperwood Circle to Amhurst Drive. Ron Huber is
the Fountain Hills Sanitary District contact. The design is
currently at the 95% design level, although construction
funding is not available yet. A sleeve across Palisades
Boulevard could be installed as part of the proposed
Saguaro Boulevard Reconstruction Project in order to
minimize disruption in the future to the newly placed
pavement.
Chaparral Water/EPCOR Water Service
Improvements – Chaparral Water (now owned by EP-
COR) owns water facilities throughout the project limits.
Our Team will coordinate with EPCOR’s Travis Nutall for
the protection of their existing facilities and any future
upgrades.

Knowing and understanding the needs of the surrounding
businesses and residents will greatly assist in developing
traffic maintenance strategies which will minimize impacts.
There were two alternatives that the Town wanted to evalu-
ate for the pavement reconstruction of Saguaro Boulevard:
1) Close one half of Saguaro Boulevard at a time and
move two-way traffic to other side; 2) Restrict traffic to one
lane in each direction during construction (see Figure 7).
Our recommendation is to restrict traffic to one lane in
each direction for the following reasons:
▶Contractor has long stretches of work zone. For the
median curb and gutter reconstruction the contractor
has full access to all extruded curb
▶Existing signal head configuration will match traffic
control lane restrictions
▶Utilize millings to gain access to driveways on both
sides of Saguaro Boulevard
▶Bike lanes maintained in one phase. Impacted in all
phases if closing half of Saguaro Boulevard
The Kimley-Horn Team will develop early estimates for the
construction time required so that affected residents and
business owners concerns can be addressed up-front.
In addition, we will look at paving windows for the project
schedule and avoid Special Events that would be impacted
by construction.
APPROACH TO ESTIMATING
Town management considers consultant’s estimates very
seriously as demonstrated in the recent Avenue of the
Fountains Median Improvements Project. Town Council
unanimously approved to reject the four bid proposals re-
ceived in May 2013 in part because the lowest bid came in
at $1.4 million when the Town was estimating the project to
be $1.2 million. Kimley-Horn’s approach begins with ensur-
ing that engineer’s construction estimates are detailed and
complete at all design submittals. This ensures that Town
staff and management can track project costs against the
Town’s $8.2 million budget throughout the planning and
design of the project. Our tailored approach to estimating
includes:
▶Packaging separate construction bid items related to
the Saguaro Boulevard/Palisades Boulevard traffic
signal versus the remaining road bond project
▶Confirming that quantities have been checked through
our quality control process
▶Confirming unit rates are accurate by utilizing recent
bid tab data and our partnerships with numerous local
contractors throughout the Valley for input on current
market unit rates, especially market and schedule
sensitive items such as pavement materials
▶Breaking down unique items such as special driveway
and sidewalk ramp details, non-standard traffic control
work, and subgrade preparation can be quantified into
their basic elements where standard pricing is available
▶Adding contingency items for possible construction
items such as soil remediation, private utility adjust-
ments by the contractor, and other potential work items
An outstanding example of our proposed
team’s success estimating major paving
projects includes the recently awarded
(November 2013) Roadway Widening on
Greenway Road for the City of Surprise
which was estimated
within 0.2% of the final contractor’s bid price.

APPROACH TO SCHEDULE CONTROLS
Our proposed project schedule for the Saguaro Boulevard
Reconstruction Project is shown on Page 12 and corre-
sponds to each major task identified in the RSOQ. Based
on the December 19, 2013 Regular Session of the Foun-
tain Hills Town Council, the project design completion date
is August 2014 (six months duration) with three progress
submittals (30%, 60%, and 95%).
Major considerations for maintaining the project schedule
include:
▶Our Project Manager, Chris Woolery, will take an active
role in managing and coordinating the project sched-
ule. He has significant arterial reconstruction project
management, design, and coordination experience,
and his “hands-on” involvement in the project develop-
ment will ensure that the technical design elements
and coordination of external elements merge with the
overall project schedule goals.
▶Combining planning and design phase services tasks
so that we can be efficient in exceeding the proposed
design schedule. Examples include:
»A draft proposed scope of work has already been
prepared based on the scope of work included with
the RSOQ – the Kimley-Horn Team is ready to
submit our scope of services and fee proposal upon
notice of award.
»Identifying locatable utilities such as fiber optics
and electric prior to topographic survey avoiding
duplicate survey efforts.
»Completing utility pothole activities during the prepa-
ration of the 30% submittal since the scope of work
has been mostly defined already.
▶Develop construction schedule to understand the nec-
essary timeframes for total project completion.
APPROACH TO COST CONTROLS
We understand that overall project cost control is vital
to the Town. It is essential that the proposed Saguaro
Boulevard Reconstruction Project is completed at or below
the $8.2 million budgeted as part of the road bond. In
order to control costs, our Team will integrate the following
approach to minimize the Town’s costs:
▶Value Engineering will be included as part of our QC
process. The results will be shared with the Town for
consideration of cost-saving alternatives. Our Team
has already evaluated cost-saving measures which are
presented in Alternative Approaches on Page 12 .
▶Constructability Reviews are also included in our QC
process and will include considerations unique to this
project such as traffic control, pedestrian access, and
construction phasing.
APPROACH TO QUALITY CONTROLS
Kimley Horn’s Quality Control Plan (QCP) has three main
components illustrated in Figure 8 – Kimley-Horn Qual-
ity Control Plan.
▶Continuous Quality
Improvement (CQI)
is a successful strat-
egy we use within our
Phoenix of fice that
regularly improves
our ability to serve
our clients while
also integrating our
clients into our quality
control. Through this
process, Kimley-Horn staff is encouraged to create
incremental improvements to the ways we work and
serve our clients. In addition, Kimley-Horn routinely
invites clients to our office to share our experience with
quality control and to ask for their input as well.
▶Engineering Checks/Peer Reviews ensure that
project services and deliverables, such as final design
plans, specifications, permitting, calculations, reports,
and cost estimates are reviewed by senior-level staff
for completeness and sound engineering. For this
project, we have added Russ Karr, P.E. as QA/
QC Manager to capitalize upon his over 20 years
of experience in planning and design of road-
way reconstruction improvements. He will be an
extremely valuable resource for all tasks assigned
to Kimley-Horn.
▶Quality Calls involve senior-level staff at Kimley-Horn
making contact with Town staff during and after project
design to ensure expectations regarding service and
deliverables are met or exceeded.
We implement our QCP by conducting a kickoff meeting
with the design team, including subconsultants, Town staff,
and key stakeholders. During the kickoff, the QCP plan is
reviewed and expectations are defined.
APPROACH TO MANAGING SUBCONTRACTORS
▶Select subconsultants whom we have successfully
teamed with in the past that are familiar with Kimley-
Horn’s procedures and policies – e.g. RAMM and Mak-
Pro have worked with Kimley-Horn staff on numerous
projects over the past eight years.
▶Require our subconsultants to follow Kimley-Horn’s
established successful QA/QC procedures – this
includes following up with each subconsultant to check
that these procedures are followed.
▶Require our subconsultants to participate in Kimley-
Horn’s internal QC schedule that begins typically two
weeks prior to the client submittal date – this ensures
that proper coordination of design elements and CAD
files are shared among team members.
▶Engage subconsultants in our bi-weekly project meet-
ings and interdisciplinary review meetings.Continuous Quality Im pro v e m ent Engineering

APPROACH TO BID PACKAGE MANAGEMENT
▶Separate bid packages for the road bond and the
CIP work (Saguaro Boulevard/Palisades Boulevard
Intersection)
▶Include detailed traffic control specifications
▶Utilize MAG Specifications and MCDOT bid item
numbering
▶Review the technical specifications against the
general/special conditions to ensure consistency and
address conflicts between the documents
APPROACH TO CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES
Our team routinely provides construction phase ser-
vices for all projects that we design. Construction phase
services have included assisting with the pre-bid meet-
ing, addressing questions from the contractor during the
advertisement period, issuing addenda, responding to
RFIs, review shop drawings/material samples, and prepar-
ing final as-builts. Our approach to construction phase
services is to provide the necessary information to execute
the contract documents in a timely manner.
In addition, the Kimley-Horn Team can also provide con-
struction administration/management services, if request-
ed by the Town. We routinely provide these services out of
our Phoenix office and are currently providing construction
management for over three miles of pavement reconstruc-
tion for the Ak-Chin Indian Community.
ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES
▶Provide a bid alternative in the construction documents
to have the contractor price out two alternative pave-
ment replacement sections as discussed on Page 5.
BENEFIT – Town can select the most cost effective
pavement structural section.
▶Have the contractor pulverize removed extruded curb
and asphalt, and store these materials at a nearby
location near the project site within the Town for future
CIP projects. BENEFIT – Backfill material is available
for future Town repairs or shoulder work.
▶Consider roll curb and gutter in lieu of the Town’s
Driveway Connection Detail (FH-255), as discussed
on Page 7. BENEFIT – Avoids costly reconstruction of
portions of existing concrete residential driveways.
▶Improved pedestrian access such as extending the
raised median at the Saguaro Boulevard/La Montana
Drive intersection as discussed on Page 8. BENEFIT
– Town provides improved pedestrian safety.
▶Using the project website discussed on Page 9.
BENEFIT – Creates an open forum for public input that
promotes an environment of openness and trust, and
provides convenient access to project information such
as public meetings, traffic closures, etc.
▶Utilizing LiDAR technology in lieu of conventional cross
sectional topographic survey. BENEFIT – Reduces
the survey schedule and provides improved accuracy
at a similar cost to conventional cross sectional survey
methods.
Section 5: Schedule of Work
Figure 9 – Project Schedule is achievable for our team
and outlines our understanding of the major coordina-
tion issues. Our proposed schedule maintains the Town’s
typical design submittals (30%, 60%, 95%, and Final)
within a six month design schedule. Our design schedule
ensures that construction would begin by December 2014,
or earlier.

TERESA MAKINEN MakPro Services, LLC PrincipalTeresa Makinen has over 15 years of experience in public involvement, outreach, communica-tions, meeting facilitation, and meeting management for a wide variety of projects of all size and scope. Her specialty is public involvement and outreach projects that directly impact communities, residents, and businesses on a more intimate or intense scale, such as streetscape and enhancement, transportation, and recreation projects. Unlike larger companies, Teresa enjoys working closely with stakeholders and coordinating locally in a “grass roots” effort to understand their needs and concerns. She has a unique ability to discuss the issues and build trust with stakeholders, which leads to beneficial communication between project owners, the project team and affected interests. She works to build lasting relationships with stakeholder interests on behalf of the project and for the long-term benefit of project owners. She appreciates the relationships she’s had the opportunity to develop through her work, with both clients and affected stakeholders, and believes that it’s this kind of “relationship building” that sets MakPro Services apart when it comes to effective communications. Almost all of MakPro’s projects are for repeat clients, so relationships are not just important – they are everything! EXPERIENCE: 1998 - Present MakPro Services, LLCEDUCATION: B.S., Accountancy, Arizona State UniversityRELEVANT PROJECTS: City of Chandler – South Arizona Avenue Improvements Project: Teresa Makinen managed the public involvement effort and worked as part of the project team to coordinate and manage meetings with the public, Downtown Chandler Community Partnership (DCCP), downtown business and property owners, local organizations and other stakeholders. This project resulted in the construction of streetscape improvements to Arizona Avenue through the downtown. In June 2011, Teresa received a “service award” from the downtown businesses (DCCP) for her ability to communicate during design and construction. RJ Zeder, City of Chandler Development Services Director, 480.782.3400 City of Phoenix – Centennial Way Project: Teresa Makinen managed the public involve-ment efforts for this design-build project for pedestrian enhancements and Arizona information as part of preparation for Arizona’s Centennial celebration.

Issue 7 - February 21, 2014
Legislative Overview
On Thursday, the Arizona Supreme Court released their opinion in the Fields lawsuit. The Court upheld the trial
decision, finding that the state could not enact changes to the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) formulas as they
affect current retirees. As a result of the decision, the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PSPRS), which
manages the Elected Officials Retirement Plan and the Correctional Officers Retirement Plan in addition to PSPRS,
will have to make $40 million in back payments to retirees as well as transfer over $300 million from the trust to the
Reserve Account to make future COLA payments. The League was deeply involved in the negotiations on SB 1609
that enacted the provisions overturned by the Fields decision and is eager to resume talks in order to ensure the
viability of PSPRS for generations to come.
Today at 5:00 pm marks the deadline for bills to be heard by committees in the chamber of origin. As a result,
committee agendas were robust and some committees deliberated well into the evening throughout the week. The
League was kept busy weighing in on 36 bills that were scheduled for consideration this week, excluding bills that
staff is closely monitoring. As a standard exception to the deadline noted above, the House and Senate
Appropriations Committees are afforded an additional week to hear bills. From this point on, legislators have one
month (March 21) to have their bills heard by any necessary committees in the complementary chamber.
A number of bills that the League opposed were scheduled for a hearing, but failed to advance out of committees
this week. They include:
HB 2422: S/E: municipal policy; authority
HB 2386: special districts; elections; financing; limits
HB 2594: public construction; business losses; compensation
SB 1405: public employee misconduct; civil action
SB 1475: contractor licensing exemptions; property owners
HURF Restoration
The House Transportation Committee approved HB 2692 (DPS; operating expenses; appropriation; intent) with a 5-0
vote. Sponsored by Speaker of the House Andy Tobin (R-Paulden), the bill appropriates $119 million in each of the
next two years from the state general fund to the Department of Public Safety for operational expenses. This will
effectively restore Highway User Revenue Fund money to the proper distribution formula. Cities and towns
specifically rely on HURF revenue to maintain local roads. The League testified in support and entered a number of
locally-passed resolutions into the official record. We are grateful for the House Transportation Committee's
unanimous support on this issue and looks forward to continued support as this bill moves through the legislative
process.

Graffiti
On Thursday the House Judiciary Committee passed HB 2571 (criminal damages; economic costs) by a unanimous
vote. HB 2571, sponsored by Representative Juan Carlos Escamilla (R-San Luis), allows victims of graffiti to recover
costs related to abatement. The bill was amended in committee to put monetary caps on cases involving juveniles.
The bill is the result of a League Resolution. It now proceeds to the Rules Committee.
State Parks
SB 1326 (state parks; donations; fund; transportation), passed the Senate Transportation and Appropriations
Committees this week. Sponsored by Senator Don Shooter (R-Yuma), the measure states that there will be a
voluntary donation option available on vehicle registrations for the purpose of funding State Parks. Of the amount
donated 85% will go to support State Parks and 15% goes to the Department of Transportation for administration.
The actual dollar amount will be determined by the State Parks Board. The bill now proceeds to the Rules
Committee.
Fire Districts and Municipal Planning Areas
HB 2152 (fire district boundary changes) passed the House Government Committee Tuesday by a unanimous vote.
Sponsored by Rep. Eddie Farnsworth (R-Gilbert), the bill places requirements on certain special taxing districts,
including fire districts, when they seek to annex within a municipal planning area. The League supported the
measure; it is the subject of a League Resolution. The bill requires these taxing districts to obtain the permission of
the municipality before they annex. The measure now goes to the Rules Committee.
Transaction Privilege Taxes
The House Ways and Means Committee passed a strike everything amendment to HB 2389 (S/E: transaction privilege
tax changes) with a 5-0-0-3 vote. The strike everything amendment, sponsored by Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-Peoria),
makes a number of changes to transaction privilege tax (TPT) statutes to address the implementation of last year's
HB 2111. The most notable provisions include synchronizing municipal and state licensing renewal processes,
electronic filing mandates for businesses with more than one location, and requiring non-program cities to
administer and collect TPT associated with residential rental. The League recognizes that many of these changes
are necessary and are supportive of those provisions, but the League cannot support segregating residential rental
administration and collection from the rest of the TPT categories since it directly undermines the goal of
uniformity. The League is neutral on the bill with the expectation that the Department of Revenue work with cities
on transitioning TPT administration -- including residential rental -- to the state program.
Municipal Election Changes
SB 1415 (municipal elections; majority vote calculation) passed the Senate Elections Committee on Tuesday by a
vote of 6-0. Sponsored by Sen. Steve Yarbrough (R-Chandler), the bill reformulates the procedure for determining
whether a municipal candidate wins an election outright in a primary election, or must proceed to a general
election. This measure was necessary for many cities and towns affected by the changes to municipal election
schedules; the League supports the bill. SB 1415 now proceeds to the Rules Committee.
Economic Development
On Tuesday, the House Government Committee unanimously passed HB 2220 (improvement districts; municipal
services). The bill, sponsored by Rep. Karen Fann (R-Prescott), removes the requirement that enhanced municipal
services districts be formed only in areas of a municipality that are designate as slum or blighted. The League
supports the bill because with this change cities and towns, particularly in rural areas, will be able to utilize these
districts to support local businesses and thanks Rep. Fann for sponsoring the legislation.

2/24/2014http://www.leagueaz.org/bulletin/14/140221/index.cfm?a=print
Guns in Public Buildings
On February 20, HB 2339 (firearms; permit holders; public places) passed the House Judiciary Committee by a vote
of 5-3. Sponsored by Rep. Brenda Barton (R-Payson), the bill would require public entities to install and use
electronic screening equipment and have security personnel in order to deny an armed person who possesses a
concealed weapon entrance to the public buildings. The League opposed as a matter of local control and fiscal
impact. The bill proceeds to the Rules Committee.
Alarms
HB 2546 (alarm businesses; alarm agents; regulation) passed the House Commerce Committee this Wednesday by a
vote of 7-1. Sponsored by Rep. David Gowan (R - Sierra Vista), the bill as amended eliminates the ability for cities to
tax alarm monitoring after December of 2014 and says that people convicted of crimes involving "moral turpitude"
cannot be licensed as installers. The League opposed the bill. In previous years there were multiple stakeholder
meetings on the issue and this year there was no opportunity for such input. Additionally, the ability to tax the
monitoring systems is a financial hit to some cities. The bill proceeds to the Rules Committee.
Public Records
The House Technology and Infrastructure (TI) Committee took public testimony regarding potential striker language
on HB 2419. The legislation could not be considered and voted on because the bill was not assigned the committee.
The amendment would have authorized governmental entities to charge for the labor costs for fulfilling public
records requests after the first four hours of work. The League testified in support of the idea of more closely
examining our public records laws, but is cautious about ideas that have the potential to harm those filing proper,
legitimate requests. The League thanks Rep. David Stevens (R-Sierra Vista) for providing an opportunity to have the
discussion and is looking forward to additional conversations on the matter. The League would also like to thank
Rep. Bob Thorpe (R-Flagstaff) for his comments on this issue as well as on all municipal matters considered by the TI
Committee on Thursday.

Issue 8 - February 28, 2014
Legislative Overview
This week saw the end of bills being heard in committees in the chamber of origin. Both the House and Senate
Appropriations Committee worked their way through substantial agendas, with the Wednesday House Appropriations
hearing lasting well into the night. Although some additional committees did meet to consider bills from the
opposite chamber, the focus of legislative efforts this week was on pushing bills through caucus and Committee of
the Whole (COW) in order to transmit them out of the chamber of origin. Case in point, the House of
Representatives posted 10 COW calendars for consideration on Thursday. Floor action will remain high as both
chambers seek to complete action on their bills; the House has already posted six COW calendars for consideration
on Monday.
Now that the House and Senate Appropriations committees have completed hearing their respective bills, the
picture of the universe of viable legislation becomes clearer. At the bill introduction deadline, the League was
tracking 281 pieces of legislation. That list has now been pared down to 172; 51 of which are being tracked solely
for inclusion in the League's annual New Laws Report.
HURF Restoration
The House Appropriations Committee approved HB 2692 (DPS; operating expenses; appropriation; intent) with a 7-3
vote. Sponsored by Speaker of the House Andy Tobin (R-Paulden), the bill appropriates $119 million in each of the
next two years from the state general fund to the Department of Public Safety for operational expenses. This will
effectively restore Highway User Revenue Fund money to the proper distribution formula. Cities and towns
specifically rely on HURF revenue to maintain local roads. The League testified in support and entered a number of
locally-passed resolutions into the official record. We are grateful for Speaker Tobin's support on the issue.
Firearm Definition
On Tuesday the Senate Appropriations Committee approved a strike everything amendment to SB 1366 (S/E:
firearms; definition). Sponsored by Senator Rick Murphy (R-Peoria), the amendment redefines firearm in statute to
exclude air guns. There are other measures still in the legislative process that redefine firearm as well, so the
League is evaluating all such proposals for conflicting language. The League was neutral on this particular bill. The
bill passed the committee by a vote of 6-3, and now proceeds to the Rules Committee.
Political Subdivision Entities
On Thursday, the House considered HB 2069 (ASRS; political subdivision entities) in Committee of the Whole. The
bill precludes future employees of political subdivision entities (PSEs) from joining the Arizona State Retirement
System (ASRS). The bill was amended on the floor to allow new employees of PSEs to remain in ASRS if they have
been an active ASRS member in the last 30 days. The League opposes the bill because PSEs (which includes groups
Page 1 of 2League of Arizona Cities and Towns - Legislative Bulletin
3/3/2014http://www.leagueaz.org/bulletin/14/140228/index.cfm?a=print
like the League, the Arizona Municipal Water Users Association and various regional councils of governments) are
created by government to serve government and perform essential functions and preventing future employees from
participating in ASRS will have negative consequences in the future.
Public Records
On Wednesday, the House Appropriations Committee approved a strike-everything amendment on HB 2419 (S/E:
public records; labor costs). The amendment authorizes governmental entities to charge for the labor costs for
fulfilling public records requests after the first eight hours of work. The League signed in support of the measure as
it represents an opportunity to more closely examine our public records laws, but is cautious about ideas that have
the potential to harm those filing proper, legitimate requests. The League thanks Rep. David Stevens (R-Sierra Vista)
for providing an opportunity to have the discussion and is looking forward to additional conversations on the matter.

Legislative Update Conference Call
League of Arizona Cities and Towns
Monday, March 3, 2014, 10:00 a.m.
NOTES
I. SB 1413: taxes; manufacturers' electricity sales; exemption (Yarbrough)
o There is still no accurate data on the fiscal impact of this proposal on cities and
towns or on the state. It is not yet scheduled for action in the Senate. We
continue to recommend that cities and towns be removed from the bill entirely,
and that the definition of manufacturing be narrowed.
II. SB 1227: municipalities; counties; energy efficient codes (Crandell)
o This bill preempts the local adoption of any new building code that prescribes
energy efficiency standards, and freezes current codes in place indefinitely. It is
up for consideration in Senate COW; the League opposes the bill.
III. HB 2058: public pensions; limit on compensation (Kavanagh)
o This bill reduces the salary upper limit for ASRS contributions from $200,000 to
$150,000. It may be a slight deterrent to personnel recruitment for a very limited
number of positions, but it would also result in slight savings for the employing
municipality. It passed the House and has been sent to the Senate.
IV. HB 2069: ASRS; political subdivision entities (Ugenti)
o This bill says future employees of political subdivision entities (such as the
League, MAG, CSA, other COGS, etc.) can not be members of the ASRS system,
unless they are members in another jurisdiction 30 days before being hired. The
League opposes the bill.
V. HB 2220: improvement districts; municipal services (Fann)
o This bill eliminates the terms “slum and blight” from statute when a city or town
wants to form an enhanced municipal services district. The League supports the
bill.
VI. HB 2571: criminal damage; economic costs (Escamilla)
o This bill, based on a League resolution, allows for the recovery of damages from a
person convicted of criminal damage by graffiti. The League supports the bill.
VII. SB 1326: state parks; donations; fund; transportation (Shooter)
o This bill, based on another League resolution, would add a voluntary $20
checkoff contribution to automobile license renewal for the purpose of funding
state parks operations. The League supports the bill.
VIII. Other
o HB 2587/ SB 1267; animal cruelty. There are reports the bill will be amended to
allow law enforcement officials to respond to and investigate allegations of
animal cruelty, and that they report any such incident to the state Department of
Agriculture.
