Staff Summary (background):In December 2011 the Town received a letter from Johnson Controls regarding
"Product Discontinuation".The products,Field Controllers using N2,are no longer available and supported by
the manufacturer.These controllers were installed on the "Variable Air Volume"(VAV)boxes on all Town Hall
HVAC systems during its original construction.The Johnson Controllers and N2 system that were installed on
the HVAC systems are proprietary to Johnson Controls and cannot be comingled with other more universal
controllers.Staff is recommending replacing the outdated Johnson Controllers and N2 operating system with
more universal controllers and operating system.By installing universal controllers and operating system it will
make our system more compatible with a broader range of supplier's controllers.A manufacture's product list
for use on the Town Hall project is listed in the proposal.
Recently the Controllers and N2 system were replaced at the Library/Museum.Those controllers removed
during the replacement program at the Library will be used at the Community Center and replaced as needed.
The Community Center's system will be updated as our budget permits. Currently we have a controller on loan
from Urban Energy that went bad on one of the VAV boxes in Town Hall as the controllers that came from the
Library are not interchangeable with units at Town Hall.

Announcing:Advanced Notice of Product Discontinuation of N2 and Select LonWorks®
Field Controllers.Notice Of Plans For Long Term Support Of N2 Devices
From:Metasys®System Product Management Office

O NorthAmerican Authorized Building Controls Specialists (A8CS)
Discontinuation of N2 and Select LonWorks Field Controllers and
Associated Products.Notice of Plans for Long-Term Support of N2
Devices.
Field Controllers using the N2 protocol have been a mainstay of the Metasys®product line
since their introduction in 1990.Now, a combination of marketplace and technical forces are
causing us to discontinue the manufacture and sale of these legacy products,beginning in
2012 and continuing into late 2013.
Most N2 field controllers were developed in the 1990s,using available technology.Many of the
electronic components used in these products are now, or soon will be discontinued by their
manufacturers.We have made last-time-buys of many of these components.For example,the
AP-VMA14xx product family will be out of components in 2012.The vendor discontinued the
microprocessor used inthis product due to damage to the manufacturing plant in Japan,after
the March 2011 earthquake.Refer to:Shortage of Variable Ait Volume Modular Assembly
(VMA)1400 Series Controllers Expected in September 2011 (UJ-2011F7)for more
information.
Additionally,the programming and commissioning tools used to support these products were
initially developed around the software and computer technologies available in the 1990s.
Supporting these programs on today's PC platforms is a growing challenge.
Variations of the FEC-series field controllers are being developed to allow them to be added to
an existing N2fieldtrunk.These will be marketed and priced as service products to replace
defective N2 products, or provide small expansions to existing installations. Inaddition, they will
have the abilityto be converted via software download to be reused as "standard" BACnet®
MS/TP devices,providinga potential cost-effective migration path to existing customers.
There are no plans to discontinue the support of N2 devices forthe NAE and NCE These
products will continue to have the ability to communicate with all supported N2 devices as a
master on the N2 bus.
Effective Dates
Our strategy is to continue to manufacture N2 products as long as components are available.
As we are notified by component suppliers of discontinuations,we will continue to make last-
time-buys of these components that allowus to continue to manufacture the products until
12/31/2013 at the latest,assuming demand continues at current rates.We will continuously
monitor product demand and component availability,and update the expected availabilityof the
products shown in Table 1 on a periodic basis.
Code No.LIT-1200524
Ongoing Support
Discontinuing the sale of these products as new devices does not mean that Johnson Controls
no longer supports them.The following programs are in place to help the thousands of existing
customers who have an installed base of millions of N2 products.
•The Field Support Center and other global technical support organizations will continue
to provide technical support for the maintenance and repair of the N2 products and
their supporting software tools as long as market demand warrants.
•The Louisville Repair Center is expanding their repair-and-return program and
refurbished parts program to include lower value devices that have historically been
considered "disposable".This will be the first source of products needed to maintain an
existing customers need to replace a failed device,or provide very small expansions to
existing installations.
•The following N2 product software tools have been tested to operate with the
Microsoft®operating systems indicated.We will provide "virtual thin-app"images of the
main tools,allowing them to operate on newer computers using VMWare®or similar
virtual software.

What Should You Do?
•Immediately stop specifying and selling the products shown in Table 2 as part of
any new project!I Supplying soon-to-be discontinued products on a new project does
a serious disservice to your customer.
•Discuss options with existing customers that have a large base of N2 products that
continue to expand.A migration plan to the newer Metasys architecture should be
developed that discourages the expansion of products identified in Table 2.
• A migration playbook is being developed that willhelp identify options,costs,and
advantages of migrating from older Metasys products to the current generation.
An incentive program to upgrade PMI software and NCMsto ADS/ADX servers and
NAEs has been announced.Refer to the Network Control Module (NCM)and Legacy
JCI Workstation Trade-In Program document for more information

BETWEEN
THE TOWN OF FOUNTAIN HILLS
AND
URBAN ENERGY SOLUTIONS, INC.
THIS COOPERATIVE PURCHASING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered
into as of December 18, 2014, between the Town of Fountain Hills, an Arizona municipal
corporation (the “Town”), and Urban Energy Solutions, Inc., an Arizona corporation (the
“Vendor”).
RECITALS
A. After a competitive procurement process, 1 Governmental Procurement Alliance
(“1GPA”) entered into Contract No. 14-145 dated February 13, 2014 (the “1GPA Contract”), for
the Vendor to provide electrical products and services. A copy of the 1GPA Contract is attached
hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by reference, to the extent not inconsistent with this
Agreement.
B. The Town is permitted, pursuant to Section 3-3-27 of the Town Code, to make
purchases under the 1GPA Contract, at its discretion and with the agreement of the awarded
Vendor, and the 1GPA Contract permits its cooperative use by other public entities, including the
Town.
C. The Town and the Vendor desire to enter into this Agreement for the purpose of
(i) acknowledging their cooperative contractual relationship under the 1GPA Contract and this
Agreement, (ii) establishing the terms and conditions by which the Vendor may provide the
Town with a completely installed BACnet energy management system with HVAC controller
upgrades, as more particularly set forth in Section 2 below (the “Equipment”) and (iii) setting the
maximum aggregate amount to be expended pursuant to this Agreement related to the
Equipment.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, which are incorporated
herein by reference, the following mutual covenants and conditions, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Town and the
Vendor hereby agree as follows:
1. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date first set
forth above and shall remain in full force and effect until December 17, 2015, unless terminated
as otherwise provided in the 1GPA Contract.
2. Scope of Work. Vendor shall provide to the Town the Equipment under the terms
and conditions of the 1GPA Contract and in the configurations as set forth in the Proposal
attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference.
2279537.1
2
3. Inspection; Acceptance. The Equipment is subject to final inspection and
acceptance by the Town. Equipment failing to conform to the requirements of this Agreement
and/or the 1GPA Contract will be held at the Vendor’s risk and may be returned to the Vendor.
If so returned, all costs are the responsibility of the Vendor. Upon discovery of non-conforming
Equipment, the Town may elect to do either of the following by written notice to the Vendor: (i)
waive the non-conformance or (ii) bring the Equipment into compliance and withhold the cost of
same from any payments due to the Vendor.
4. Compensation. The Town shall pay Vendor an aggregate amount not to exceed
$56,576.06 for the Equipment at the unit rate set forth in the 1GPA Contract and as more
particularly set forth in the Proposal attached hereto as Exhibit B.
5. Payments. The Town shall pay the Vendor upon delivery and acceptance of the
Equipment and upon submission and approval of the invoice(s). The invoice(s) shall (i) contain
a reference to this Agreement and the 1GPA Contract and (ii) document the Equipment delivered
and accepted to date. Additionally, invoices submitted without referencing this Agreement and
the 1GPA Contract will be subject to rejection and may be returned.
6. Records and Audit Rights. To ensure that the Vendor and its subcontractors are
complying with the warranty under Section 7 below, Vendor’s and its subcontractors’ books,
records, correspondence, accounting procedures and practices, and any other supporting
evidence relating to this Agreement, including the papers of any Vendor and its subcontractors’
employees who perform any work or services pursuant to this Agreement (all of the foregoing
hereinafter referred to as “Records”), shall be open to inspection and subject to audit and/or
reproduction during normal working hours by the Town, to the extent necessary to adequately
permit evaluation of the Vendor’s and its subcontractors’ compliance with the Arizona employer
sanctions laws referenced in Section 7 below. To the extent necessary for the Town to audit
Records as set forth in this Section, Vendor and its subcontractors hereby waive any rights to
keep such Records confidential. For the purpose of evaluating or verifying such actual or
claimed costs or units expended, the Town shall have access to said Records, even if located at
its subcontractors’ facilities, from the effective date of this Agreement for the duration of the
work and until three years after the date of final payment by the Town to Vendor pursuant to this
Agreement. Vendor and its subcontractors shall provide the Town with adequate and appropriate
workspace so that the Town can conduct audits in compliance with the provisions of this Section.
The Town shall give Vendor or its subcontractors reasonable advance notice of intended audits.
Vendor shall require its subcontractors to comply with the provisions of this Section by insertion
of the requirements hereof in any subcontract pursuant to this Agreement.
7. E-verify Requirements. To the extent applicable under ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 41-
4401, the Vendor and its subcontractors warrant compliance with all federal immigration laws
and regulations that relate to their employees and their compliance with the E-verify
requirements under ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 23-214(A). Vendor’s or its subcontractors’ failure to
comply with such warranty shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement and may result
in the termination of this Agreement by the Town.
2279537.1

8. Conflict of Interest. This Agreement may be canceled by the Town pursuant to
ARIZ. REV. STAT. § 38-511.
9. Applicable Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the
State of Arizona and a suit pertaining to this Agreement may be brought only in courts in
Maricopa County, Arizona.
10. Agreement Subject to Appropriation. The Town is obligated only to pay its
obligations set forth in the Agreement as may lawfully be made from funds appropriated and
budgeted for that purpose during the Town’s then current fiscal year. The Town’s obligations
under this Agreement are current expenses subject to the “budget law” and the unfettered
legislative discretion of the Town concerning budgeted purposes and appropriation of funds.
Should the Town elect not to appropriate and budget funds to pay its Agreement obligations, this
Agreement shall be deemed terminated at the end of the then-current fiscal year term for which
such funds were appropriated and budgeted for such purpose and the Town shall be relieved of
any subsequent obligation under this Agreement. The parties agree that the Town has no
obligation or duty of good faith to budget or appropriate the payment of the Town’s obligations
set forth in this Agreement in any budget in any fiscal year other than the fiscal year in which the
Agreement is executed and delivered. The Town shall be the sole judge and authority in
determining the availability of funds for its obligations under this Agreement. The Town shall
keep Vendor informed as to the availability of funds for this Agreement. The obligation of the
Town to make any payment pursuant to this Agreement is not a general obligation or
indebtedness of the Town. Vendor hereby waives any and all rights to bring any claim against
the Town from or relating in any way to the Town's termination of this Agreement pursuant to
this section.
11. Conflicting Terms. In the event of any inconsistency, conflict or ambiguity
among the terms of this Agreement, the 1GPA Contract and invoices, the documents shall
govern in the order listed herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in conformity with Section
2 above, unauthorized exceptions, conditions, limitations or provisions in conflict with the terms
of this Agreement or the 1GPA Contract (collectively, the “Unauthorized Conditions”), other
than the Town’s project-specific requirements, are expressly declared void and shall be of no
force and effect. Acceptance by the Town of any work order or invoice containing any such
Unauthorized Conditions or failure to demand full compliance with the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement or under the 1GPA Contract shall not alter such terms and conditions or
relieve Vendor from, nor be construed or deemed a waiver of, its requirements and obligations in
the performance of this Agreement.
12. Rights and Privileges. To the extent provided under the 1GPA Contract, the
Town shall be afforded all of the rights and privileges afforded to 1GPA and shall be “1GPA”
(as defined in the 1GPA Contract) for the purposes of the portions of the 1GPA Contract that are
incorporated herein by reference.
13. Indemnification; Insurance. In addition to and in no way limiting the provisions
set forth in Section 12 above, the Town shall be afforded all of the insurance coverage and
indemnifications afforded to 1GPA to the extent provided under the 1GPA Contract, and such
insurance coverage and indemnifications shall inure and apply with equal effect to the Town
2279537.1

under this Agreement including, but not limited to, the Vendor’s obligation to provide the
indemnification and insurance. In any event, the Vendor shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the Town and each council member, officer, employee or agent thereof (the Town and
any such person being herein called an “Indemnified Party”), for, from and against any and all
losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, but not 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 (“Claims”),
insofar as such Claims (or actions in respect thereof) relate to, arise out of, or are caused by or
based upon the negligent acts, intentional misconduct, errors, mistakes or omissions, in
connection with the work or services of the Vendor, its officers, employees, agents, or any tier of
subcontractor in the performance of this Agreement.

11. Insurance.
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
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.

Workers’ Compensation insurance, shall contain a waiver of rights of recovery
2279332.1

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
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.

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

in its individual capacity and not as an agent, employee, partner, joint venturer, or associate of

any other party to furnish any of the material or services specified herein without the prior

(a) Construction Oversight: Construction oversight is a key element to a successful project and goes hand in hand
with construction inspection. By the time a project goes out to bid, the Construction Management Team should know the
project as well as the contractors bidding the job. This gives our Team the ability to best represent the interest of the Town
in an effective, knowledgeable manner. By understanding the project from the contractors’ perspective, our Team can help
avoid the miscues that could result in a slow or delayed start up. In our history as construction managers, we have found that
contractors are more willing to collaborate on resolving issues and less inclined to submit unfounded change orders when
the construction manager knows the job as well as they do. Our project manager and construction manager have driven the
project several times and they have reviewed the plans and technical specifications. Wood/Patel’s construction manager/
resident engineer has that insight as he has been on both sides of the table. A successful project will deliver a quality product
that meets or exceeds the contract plans and specifications and meets all expectations and requirements of the Town. Our
Wood/Patel team will be proactive and work smart to deliver the project on time and within budget.
(b) Construction Inspection: Our Team will work with the contractor to ensure project success–just as we have
done on previous projects for municipalities throughout the Valley. Important value-added management philosophies and
activities include:
1) Acting as an extension of the Town: our Team’s construction management members will have representatives on-
site to act as the eyes and ears of the Town to oversee (inspect) construction quality, oversee costs, and schedule. We will
employ a highly qualified DBE to assist in the traffic signal and electrical portion of this project.
2) Our Team will conduct weekly progress meetings on site with the contractor, A/E, and the Town’s representative
and provide meeting minutes to all stakeholders in a timely manner. We will review the contractor’s three week look-ahead
schedule and compare it to the master schedule. If there is slippage in the master schedule, the contractor will be required to
provide the Team with a recovery schedule.
3) Inspecting the contractors’ work progress on a daily basis: Our Team will ensure compliance with the Town’s
requirements through observations (inspection) and reports by personnel experienced in performing work for the Town.
Our inspectors are equipped with the latest technology in tools and equipment, including smart phones, lap-tops, and digital
smart levels when needed, etc. They will utilize the latest applicable MAG Standard Specifications and the applicable
supplement to City and/or Town Details.
4) Compliance with traffic control requirements: Our Team will closely monitor the traffic conditions and assist
in mitigating any deviations or unforeseen field impacts from the approved traffic control plan. For example, the work at
the intersection of Saguaro Boulevard and Palisades Boulevard will require a unique plan to transition traffic through this
intersection. Our Team will work closely with the Town’s traffic representative and the contractor to achieve safe traffic
flow throughout the project. Saguaro Boulevard is very wide with two lanes and a wide bike lane/shoulder separated by a
wide landscaped median. This leaves a lot of space for the contractor to come up with an innovative traffic control plan.
Continuous and safe access to public safety vehicles, Town service vehicles, mail vehicles, school buses and local residents
will be given top priority.
5) Coordination with utilities: Our Team will work closely with the utility companies and the contractor to orchestrate
schedules and access, assuring seamless completion of all work. Our PM spoke with SRP Transmission and found no
conflicts. We spoke with Century Link. They think they are clear but would like to see a few more potholes. They were
informed that the project was out to bid and we can follow up with more investigation during construction. The Technical
Specifications indicate that the following utilities have a conflict within the proposed project:
• Fountain Hills Sanitary District (FHSD)
• EPCOR Water
• SRP Distribution
• Cox Communication
• Southwest Gas
The Wood/Patel Team will work closely with the contractor and the effected utilities to fully investigate all viable options
supporting cost-effective and project schedule decisions.

(c) Schedule Controls: To minimize disruption to businesses and the travelling public, we will assist in developing a
detailed project schedule using Primavera P6 through joint collaboration with the Town of Fountain Hills and the contractor.
Once the detailed project schedule has been finalized, regular team meetings and constant communication are essential
components in our aggressive pursuit of schedule compliance. Our internal measures for timely completion can include:
1) Incorporating the contractor’s schedule into a complete project schedule using Primavera P6, 2) Developing a Project
Management Plan, 3) Holding weekly team progress meetings, 4) Submitting monthly project progress reports with solutions
to maintain the project schedule, 5)The Wood/Patel Team will review the three week look ahead schedule at the weekly
construction progress meetings to verify that it coincides with the master schedule. If there is any slippage, the contractor
will be required to revise his master schedule to include recovery of the time lost.
(d) Quality Controls: The Wood/Patel Team has developed a rigorous approach to delivering construction management
services, enabling us to provide accurate and timely decisions that have saved our clients significant amounts of money. Our
Construction Management Team understands the Town’s needs and is empowered to provide a level of Client Service that
both the Town of Fountain Hills and the Wood/Patel Team can be proud of.
Our Quality Control Plan (QCP) is organized to ensure proper implementation of the plan. Ron Martinez, with the assistance
of Ron Nadzieja, will tailor the QCP to meet project requirements, ensure that the plan is implemented, and that each quality
control function has been completed and documented. Each team member is individually responsible for and will ensure
that:
• They are familiar with the QCP objectives and methods.
• Procedures conform to the Town’s requirements.
• Qualified personnel are assigned to each task.
• Checks and back-checks are routinely conducted.
• Interdisciplinary coordination is conducted.
• Proven, state-of-the-art engineering procedures are used.
• All communications, re-designs, and actions are properly documented, and files are current and organized.
One of the key elements in quality control for a project of this type is to ensure active coordination and communication
with all project stakeholders and affected outside agencies. We understand that MakPro will perform public outreach on this
project. Our team enjoys a great relationship with MakPro.
Construction Phase: The Wood/Patel Team will kick-off construction by reviewing the project site conditions and
documents with the contractor’s construction supervisors, project stakeholders, and Town staff to ensure that the entire
team understands the project expectations, schedule and goals. Work-in-place will be monitored by our senior construction
inspector Allen Bryan for completeness and compliance to the contract documents and current construction practices.
Closeout Phase: Upon completion, the Client Manager, Construction Manager and the inspector will schedule walk-through
inspections and issue Notices of Completion to the contractor. Robert Gofonia, P.E. will provide all required contractual
documentation to ensure the Town has all items necessary to manage the completed work in the future.
(e) Cost/Change Order Controls: Cost control is an integral part of the Construction Management tasks and an integral
part of our team’s philosophy. Costs are summarized monthly by the contractor and the Wood/Patel Team (contractor’s pay
apps), reviewed by the Team, approved by the Construction Manager/Resident Engineer, and forwarded on to the Town with
recommendations. The pay apps will highlight any variance between budget and actual work done, with recommendations
for subsequent action.
Monitoring Staff, Progress and Budget: The Wood/Patel Team produces a monthly project status report that tracks the
project schedule, expenditures, cash flow, potential delays, and cost increases/decreases (change order work). This allows

the Project Team to detect and anticipate potential problems, develop solutions early-on, and communicate them to the
stakeholders for quick decision-making and resolution. Change order work will be controlled by time and material (T&M)
sheets. If the work can be accomplished using bid line items, then the work will be closely monitored by our inspector. If
the work is out of the contractor’s scope of work then the extra work can be T&M, cost plus or a negotiated lump sum. The
change order work should be classified and/or defined as: Town Initiated Change Order, Error and/or Omission Change
Order, or Unforeseen Site Conditions. The change orders (CO) will be tracked by using a CO log that describes and provides
the resolution of the CO.
Ron Martinez, P.E. (Construction Manager/Resident Engineer), with his extensive experience and comprehensive project
understanding, will review the contractor’s requests for payment and balance them against the project’s current status
and progress. Our past experience has shown us that this approach leads to a significant reduction in project cost disputes
with the contractor. If there are cost disputes, our team implements the tenants of partnering to work closely with the
contractor and the Town to resolve issues at the lowest possible level while resolving issues as quickly as possible within
each organization where a decision needs to be made. This process promotes communication among each of the vested
parties, which is essential to avoiding and resolving any disputes.
(f) RFIs and Shop Drawing Review: Wood/Patel has established a log system for both RFIs and Shop Drawings. By
using this method along with a numbered tracking system, the stakeholders can view the disposition of any RFI and/or Shop
Drawing at anytime. RFIs and/or Shop Drawings that are design-based will be electronically sent to the Engineer of Record
for review and recommendation. We strive for no more than a five day turn around on all RFIs and Shop Drawings. RFIs and
Shop Drawings that are construction based will be reviewed, logged, and resolved within a five-day timespan by the CM.
We are very proactive when it comes to RFIs and Shop Drawings.
D (2) Alternate Approaches
(a) Quality Assurance (Q/A): Q/A is an approach that the Wood/Patel Team performs on projects. Many times, the CM
has access to a geotechnical firm to take random tests to validate the contractor’s lab. It was mentioned at the preproposal
meeting that the current budget did not provide for Q/A testing. However, it was noted that if the budget (after bid) allowed
for this expense, the Town may have a Q/A geotechnical firm to ensure availability.
(b) Public Outreach: The public outreach consultant, MakPro, should continue their services, including the project hotline,
throughout the project. There is the possibility that the contractor could develop a cost savings and schedule reduction by
requesting a closure of one side or the other on Saguaro Boulevard which would also create the need for MakPro to properly
communicate the decision to the public.

SCOPE OF WORK
Saguaro Boulevard Reconstruction Construction Management Services
DS2015-103
1. Project Description.
The Saguaro Boulevard reconstruction project generally consists of roadway
reconstruction, drainage improvements, traffic signal improvements, signage and striping,
landscaping and other miscellaneous work as required.
2. Construction Phase.
2.1 Project Management.
A. On-Site Management and Construction Phase Communication Procedures.
Consultant shall provide and maintain a management team on the Project site to provide
construction/ contract administration, to be the Town’s representative, and to establish and
implement coordination and communication procedures among Consultant, the Town, the design
architect/engineer (“A/E”) and the Town’s selected construction contractor (“Construction
Contractor”). Construction observations for the Project shall be performed by Consultant
personnel with sufficient expertise to determine whether the construction is proceeding in
accordance with the construction contract documents included or incorporated in the Town’s
Invitation for Bids for the Project (“Contract Documents”). Construction observations shall be
under the direct supervision of an engineer(s) registered in the State of Arizona and qualified to
perform this work. Consultant shall comply with and have sufficient trained personnel to meet
the construction schedule and man-hour requirements.
B. Construction Administration Procedures. Consultant, with input from the
A/E, shall establish and implement procedures for: expediting and processing requests for
information (“RFIs”); and review and approval of shop drawings, material and equipment
sample submittals, contract schedule adjustments, change orders, material and equipment
substitution requests and payment requests. Consultant shall establish and maintain logs for
tracking all relevant information related to the above. Consultant shall maintain daily job reports
and submit to the Town on a weekly basis. As the Town’s representative at the construction site,
Consultant shall be the party to whom RFIs, submittals, schedule adjustments, substitution
requests, test results, change order requests and payment applications shall be submitted.
Consultant shall process the requests and forward them to the Fountain Hills Development
Services Director with a recommendation for approval or denial. After approval or denial,
Consultant shall notify the Construction Contractor of the Development Services Director’s
decision.
C. Construction Inspection and Observation. Consultant shall establish and
implement a program to observe and monitor the quality of the construction to ensure the Project
is completed per the Contract Documents. The purpose of the program shall be to identify
defects and deficiency in the work of the Construction Contractor. While Consultant shall not be
responsible for construction means, methods, techniques, sequences and procedures employed by
the Construction Contractor in the performance of its contract, Consultant shall nevertheless
advise the Town whether the construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures
will delay the work or cause a defect in the work. Consultant may, from time to time, issue
work directives or field orders that consist of minor changes in the work not involving an
adjustment in the contract sum or the contract time, but which are consistent with the overall
intent of the Contract Documents. Consultant is authorized to reject work and transmit to the
Town and Construction Contractor a notice of nonconforming work when the work does not
conform to the requirements of the Contract Documents. Consultant is not authorized as a part
of this service to change, revoke, alter, enlarge, relax or release any requirements of the Contract
Documents or to approve or accept any portion of the work not performed in accordance with the
Contract Documents. In the event the Construction Contractor fails to correct deficient work,
Consultant shall issue a stop work order on behalf of the Town until such deficiencies are
corrected. No action taken by Consultant shall relieve the Construction Contractor from its
obligation to perform its work in strict conformity with the Contract Documents and in strict
conformity with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.
D. Design Changes. Any decision or action related to the design or
engineering of the Project shall be referred to the A/E for action. No change in the design
documents shall be made without written approval of the A/E and the Town.
E. Project Site Meetings. Consultant shall conduct weekly coordination
meetings at the Project site with the Construction Contractor, the Town’s designated
representative and the A/E (if provided for in the Agreement between the Town and the A/E)
and/or other stakeholders as needed. Consultant shall record, transcribe and distribute minutes to
all attendees, the Town and the A/E.
F. Construction Quality Assurance (Testing). Technical or special
inspections required in the Contract Documents per the Town’s adopted codes, and testing
provided by the Construction Contractor, the A/E or others shall be monitored by Consultant.
Consultant shall be provided a copy of all inspection and testing reports on the day of the
inspection or test or within a reasonable time period. Consultant is responsible for providing the
test results to the Construction Contractor and to the Town. In the event of a failed test, re-
testing will be performed as directed in the Contract Documents. Consultant shall also collect all
material delivery tickets. All test results and material tickets shall be compiled and delivered to
the Town in electronic format at the end of the Project, as required in Subsection 3.1(B) below.
G. Review of Requests for Changes to the Contract Time and Price.
Consultant shall review with the A/E the contents of requests for changes to the contract work,
time or price submitted by a contractor, assemble information concerning the request to
determine the cause of the requests and make written recommendations to the Town with respect
to acceptance of the requests. Consultant will implement the Town’s decisions regarding all
requests for changes. All changes to the Agreement between the Town and Construction
Contractor shall be only by change orders or contract amendments executed by the Town.
H. Record Drawings, Operation and Maintenance Materials. As required by
the Contract Documents, Consultant shall receive from the Construction Contractor red-line
construction record drawings, operation and maintenance manuals, warranties and guarantees for
materials and equipment installed on the Project, and review such documents for completeness
and submit documents to the Town. Upon verification of the red-line construction record
drawings for correctness, Consultant shall transmit same to the A/E for preparation of the as-
built drawings. Upon return of the as-built drawings to the Consultant from the A/E,
Consultant’s engineer shall be the responsible engineer(s) for purposes of certifying the as-built
drawings. “Certifying the as-built drawings” means the as-built drawings will be signed, sealed
and dated by engineer(s) registered in the State of Arizona in his field of competence. Each plan
sheet in the set shall be marked “As-Built”. In addition, if the Project requires certification by
Maricopa County Environmental Services Department or the Arizona Department of
Environmental Quality, Consultant shall provide such certification.
I. Substantial and Final Completion. In consultation with the A/E and the
Town’s inspectors (when applicable), Consultant shall review the Construction Contractor’s
written requests for substantial completion and final completion and shall recommend to the
Town when the Project and the Construction Contractor’s work has achieved substantial and
final completion as defined in the Construction Documents. Consultant shall, prior to issuing a
Certificate of Substantial Completion, compile a list of incomplete work or work that does not
conform to the Contract Documents (punch-list items) based on his observations and input from
the A/E and the Town’s inspectors (when applicable). This list shall be attached to the
Certificate of Substantial Completion. The Certificate of Final Completion shall not be issued
until the incomplete work has been completed and the Town is ready to accept the Project.
Consultant shall issue the Certificate of Substantial Completion and Certification of Final
Completion to the Construction Contractor.
J. Project Close-out.
1. Within five days of the receipt of Construction Contractor’s
written request for a punch list, Consultant shall perform an inspection for the purpose of
creating a punch list.
2. Consultant shall notify Construction Contractor in writing of any
deficiencies to be remedied prior to final acceptance by written punch-list. Final
acceptance shall not be given until the punch-list items are completed in accordance with
the Contract Documents. No one is authorized to amend the Contract Documents by use
of the punch list, which is solely for the benefit of Construction Contractor to enable him
to determine what items must be corrected before final acceptance will be recommended
by the Consultant.
3. Upon completion of the deficient work, Construction Contractor
may request a punch list inspection. If Consultant determines that all work has been
completed, Consultant shall recommend in writing to the Town that final acceptance of
the entire work be made as of the date of Consultant’s final inspection.
4. Simultaneously with Construction Contractor’s request for final
payment, Construction Contractor is required to submit the following items to
Consultant: (A) red-line construction record drawings; (B) warranties; (C) three sets of
documentation covering the operation and maintenance of the mechanical and electrical
installation and all other equipment required to be furnished with such manuals; (D) other
items required by the Contract Documents. No recommendation shall be made for final
acceptance until these items have been received and are complete.
K. Final Payment. Consultant shall provide to the Town a written
recommendation regarding final payment to the Construction Contractor. A final change order,
if applicable, shall be prepared by the Construction Contractor, reviewed and approved by the
Consultant, with a written recommendation for approval by the Town. Consultant’s
recommendation for final payment shall take into account the contract sum, as adjusted by any
change orders, amounts already paid, and sums to be retained for incomplete work, liquidated
damages, and for any other cause under the Contract Documents. Consultant shall prepare a
statement of final inspection, stating that the work has been given a final inspection, that
Construction Contractor has submitted the required documents, setting forth with detail any
deviations in the work as completed, and estimating the cost of correction of such deviations.
Consultant’s statement shall be transmitted to the Town along with Construction Contractor’s
request for final payment. Consultant shall provide a copy of the statement of final inspection
and Consultant’s estimate of the sum due to Construction Contractor.
2.2 Time Management.
A. Construction Contractor’s Construction Schedule. Consultant shall review
the Construction Contractor’s resource loaded Construction Schedule and shall verify that the
schedule is prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Document and that it
establishes completion dates that comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
B. Construction Schedule Reports. Consultant shall, on a monthly basis and
at the time of Construction Contractor’s pay application, review the progress of construction,
shall evaluate the percentage complete of each construction activity as indicated in the
Construction Contractor’s resource loaded Construction Schedule and shall review such
percentages with the Construction Contractor. This evaluation shall serve as data for input to the
periodic Construction Schedule Report that shall be prepared and distributed to the Town. The
Report shall indicate the actual progress compared to scheduled progress and shall serve as the
basis for the progress payments to the Construction Contractor. Consultant shall advise and
make recommendations to the Town concerning the alternative courses of action that the Town
may take in its efforts to achieve contract compliance by the Construction Contractor.
C. Consultant Review of Time Extension Requests. Prior to the issuance of
change orders, Consultant shall advise the Town as to the effect Construction Contractor’s
requests for time extensions will have on the Master Schedule.
D. Recovery Schedules. Where Construction Schedule delays are
encountered, Consultant shall request a recovery schedule in writing from the Construction
Contractor and review the recovery schedule for compliance with the Contract Documents. Any
delays that may affect the Master Schedule shall be reported to the Town in writing.
2.3 Cost Management.
A. Change Order Control. Consultant, with input from the A/E, shall
establish and implement a change order control system that is consistent with the Contract
Documents. All proposed change orders shall first be described in detail by Consultant, with the
assistance of the A/E when necessary, in a request for a proposal to the Construction Contractor,
and shall be accompanied by technical drawings and specifications prepared by the A/E, when
required. All change orders shall be classified into one of three categories: “Town Initiated
Change Order”, “Error and/or Omission Change Order”, and “Unforeseen Conditions Change
Order”. Change order dollar amounts shall be traced by these three categories. At the end of
construction, a Final Change Order Report will be prepared identifying each change order, its
classification, and amount. Total amounts for each classification shall also be reported. The
Construction Contractor shall submit to Consultant for evaluation detailed information
concerning the cost and time adjustments, if any, as may be necessary to perform the proposed
change work order. Consultant shall discuss the proposed change order with the Construction
Contractor and determine the Construction Contractor’s basis of the cost and time impacts of
performing the work. Consultant shall make recommendations to the Town on acceptability of
the change in the work, prior to the Town’s execution of change orders. Consultant shall verify
that change order work and adjustments of time, if any, required by approved change orders have
been incorporated into the Construction Contractor’s Schedule. No change in the design shall be
made without written approval of the A/E. No change order shall be approved without the
written approval of the Town.
B. Change Order Pricing and Verification. If a Change Order provides for an
adjustment to the contract sum, the cost of the change in the work shall be made as prescribed in
the Contract Documents.
1. Where a unit price is contained in the Bid Schedule and agreed to
by Consultant and Construction Contractor, or when a unit price or lump sum is mutually
agreed upon for the change in the work, the Consultant shall make recommendation to
the Town. A Change Order shall be executed by the Town and Construction Contractor,
prior to proceeding with the change in the work, unless an emergency situation exists.
2. Where a change in work is to be performed on a cost-plus basis, an
estimate of the work shall be prepared by the Construction Contractor and reviewed by
Consultant. With the Town approval, and based on recommendation from Consultant,
Consultant’s Project Representative shall direct the Construction Contractor, in writing,
to proceed with the change in the work.
3. In addition to receiving the required information from the
Construction Contractor documenting time, materials, equipment, and sub-contractors
employed to complete the change of work, Consultant shall personally monitor and
record work effort involved in the change of work. Consultant and Construction
Contractor shall confer on a daily basis, and come to a mutual agreement on the time,
materials, equipment, and sub-contractors’ cost that day. As stipulated in the Contract
Documents, final cost of the change in the work shall be reflected and formalized in a
Change Order, signed by both the Town and Construction Contractor.
4. Should negotiations break down between Consultant and
Construction Contractor over the cost of the change in the work, Consultant, with the
Town approval, shall be authorized to seek bids and have the work performed by another
contractor.
C. Progress Payments. Consultant shall review the payment applications
submitted by the Construction Contractor and determine whether the amount requested reflects
the progress of the Construction Contractor’s work. Consultant shall make appropriate
adjustments to each payment application and shall provide and forward to the Town a Progress
Payment Report. The Report shall state the total contract price, payments to date, current
payment requested, percent work complete, percent payments made, retainage and actual
amounts owed for the current period. Included in this report shall be a Certificate of Payment
that shall be signed by Consultant and delivered to the Town. The issuance of a Certificate of
Payment by Consultant shall constitute a representation by Consultant to the Town, based on
Consultant’s observations and inspections at the site and on the data comprising the Construction
Contractor’s application for payment, that: (1) the work has progressed to the point indicated; (2)
to the best of Consultant’s knowledge, information and belief, the quality of the work is in
accordance with the Contract Documents, subject to (a) an evaluation of the work for
conformance with the Contract Documents upon Substantial Completion, (b) the results of any
subsequent tests required by or performed under the Contract Documents, (c) minor deviations
from the Contract Documents correctable prior to completion, and (d) any specific qualifications
stated in the application for payment; (3) red-line construction record drawings are up to date;
and (4) the Construction Contractor is entitled to payment in the amount certified.

Dear Rachael:
Following on the success of the inaugural 2014 Concours in the Hills,and as discussed with Mayor
Kavanagh,we are planning to repeat the event on February 7, 2015 with a rain date of February 14.
These dates were approved and booked by Bryan Hughes.
We would again like the town's co-sponsorship and waiver of fees.
Once again all proceeds from the event will go the Boys &Girls Clubs of Greater Scottsdale,which
includes the Fountain Hills branch.The event is run completely by volunteers.
The Concours is growing very rapidly and we are hopeful of increasing the vehicle's exhibited by
50%to over 300.
I look forward to the town's approval.
Sincerely,
Peter I.Volny

Staff Summary (background):
This is a Zoning Ordinance text amendment that would extend the expiration dates on Commercial A-frame
signs and for Banners for special sales events. This process has become an almost annual review as the
permitted usage of these types of signs has been expiring on Dec.31st of each year since 2009.However,the last
extensions were granted for two years in 2012.
The Town Council is being requested to once again extend the sunset provisions for an additional year. The
attached draft Ordinance #14-07,if approved, would extend the expiration date for A-frame signs to December
31,2015 as well as extend the expiration date for banners, balloons and pennants to December 31, 2015.
Without an extension these signs may no longer be used after December 31,2014.

expiration dates in the two sections of Chapter 6 of the Zoning Ordinance which include expiration dates of
December 31,2014.

Risk Analysis (options or alternatives with implications):

additional period of time.

2014.

Recommendation(s)by Board(s)or Commission(s):The Planning &Zoning Commission voted to recommend
extending the expiration date for another year, subject to a requirement that compliance be increased to 80% or better by
next December.This stipulation has been included in the attached Ordinance.
Staff Recommendation(s):
Continuously low compliance rates such as the ones being displayed would generally indicate that staff should
recommend that the extension not be granted.However,due to the poor economic climate in recent years such a
decision could have additional unintended consequences.Therefore,staff will continue to recommend that the
Planning &Zoning Commission forward a recommendation that the Town Council approve the extension of the
expiration date for A-frame Signs and Event Banners for an additional year.
Attachment(s):
Draft Ordinance #14-07

SUGGESTED MOTION (for Council use):
Move to approve Ordinance #14-07, a text amendment to Sections 6.08.B.13 and 6.08.D.3 of the Fountain Hills
Zoning Ordinance,extending the expiration dates for Banners and A-Frame signs until December 31,2015 as
presented and subject to the stipulation that compliance be increased to 80% or higher as recommended by the
Planning &Zoning Commission.

Chairman Pew advised that he had a couple of minor technical changes noting that in the exemptions,
SectionC, #2, the 20'wide exemptedbandfor the driveway doesn't mentionmeasuringto the houseif a
garage or a carportisn't there; it statesto the nearest garage dooror carport.The second change was in
Section 2,Paragraph A (regarding methodology).He read the last part of that section,"whether a
subdivider chooses a lotbylot hillside protection option or a hillside transfer protection option set forth,
the actual square footage of disturbance in one slope intervals can be transferred into a lower slope
interval".He statedthat did not seem applicable to the situation beingproposedsincewe onlyhavetwo
intervals(one at 40% and the other at 100%).ChairmanPew commented that prior to that, there had been
four intervals andyoucouldtakearea inthe steeper interval andadd itto a lower interval.Heaskedstaff
to look at that and determine if it was technically correct.
Development Services Director Paul Moon stated staff could look at that.
Chairman Pew acknowledged that the ordinance addressed everything thatthe Commission hadsetoutto
accomplish as it addressed all of the issues,made a simpler calculation,and had cut down a lot of
verbiage.
