We propose to lead and execute the project out of our Anchorage and Seattle offices with local subconsultant support from DOWL/HKM and Alaska Commercial Divers.

    Our global expertise and deep bench strength in the Pacific Northwest gives the Borough seamless access to the industrys best solutions for Ketchikans unique marine environment; our qualified local subconsultants will provide the project with responsive service, expeditiously, and cost-effectively.

    As the Boroughs proposed Project Manager and Business Unit Lead for Moffatt & Nichols Alaska operations, and being duly authorized to make commitments on behalf of the Moffatt & Nichol Team, I look forward to hearing from you concerning our proposal.

    Sincerely,

    MOFFATT & NICHOL

    Shaun McFarlane Business Unit Leader

  • Ketchikan Gateway Borough 1

    Firm Qualifications

    Project Manager The following section details the proposed management of the Moffatt & Nichol Team including the qualifications of key individuals selected from among our talented in-house and subconsultant personnel:

    Moffatt & Nichol (Anchorage, Seattle) Shaun McFarlane, PE will lead the design and construction team and serve as the Boroughs Project Manager and principal point of contact. In addition to nearly 20 years of waterfront project management experience, Shaun manages Moffatt & Nichols Alaska operations and has the authority to bind the company and secure priority resources as needed to fulfill our commitment to this contract. As an accomplished and certified bridge and marine facility inspector, Shaun understands what it takes to get a small but high priority repair project if this type to construction, quickly and economically.

    Peggy Confer, PE will serve as Engineer of Record, and in that capacity will assume responsibility for the inspection, design, development of contract documents and bid assistance, and will work closely with field inspectors during facility assessment and construction. She brings many years of structural design and repair experience along with specification writing expertise, and is licensed in Alaska and Washington.

    Bruce Ostbo, PE has extensive experience in inspection and rehabilitation of marine structures in Alaska and around the world as a diver/inspector and structural engineer. He is a certified diver, bridge inspector; licensed in Alaska, Washington and other states; who will serve as a Senior Advisor, offering advice on repair methodologies and performing independent Quality Control (QC) reviews of all project deliverables.

    DOWL/HKM (Ketchikan) Steve Andersen, PE is DOWL/HKMs Ketchikan Office Manager and will serve as Lead Inspector for the project. In this capacity, he has demonstrated his ability to coordinate multiple services with a variety of specialties and clients, and his balance of civil and mechanical design will serve this project well. His experience includes construction supervision and inspection, land development, and roadway design. Steve provided inspection services on Ketchikans Jackson Street Reconstruction and on the Whitman Lake dam. He has engineering, design, and educational experience in timber, steel and concrete structural engineering.

    Project Approach and Staffing The Moffatt & Nichol Team will leverage the extensive expertise of our rehabilitation and repair engineers, ferry system experts, and structural designers with our local partner DOWL/HKM, who will provide local knowledge, boots on the ground and eyes on the project. Our PM, Shaun McFarlane will match staff expertise to specialized tasks for efficient production while our structural designer Peggy Confer will maintain an overview of the work to make sure drawings, specifications, and cost estimate are coordinated and complete. Steve Andersen of DOWL/HKM will also assist in developing the Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (OPCC) or Engineers estimate using local knowledge and contacts.

    We will approach the design and document preparation beginning with data gathering and delineation of the extent of the pontoon damage to be repaired using a topside, water level and underwater inspection with field measurements. We will determine field conditions critical to the effort such as extent of the foam fill in the pontoon and location of the void space in evidence by the access manhole

  • Ketchikan Gateway Borough 2

    near the damage location. Steve Andersen will provide on-site liaison services with the parties involved in repair, and with the client; will provide Moffatt & Nichol with details about on-site conditions; and will assist in design. This established partnership will significantly reduce startup time when construction begins.

    We will specify repair products and methods that can be used in the wet since the pontoon cannot be taken out of service to perform the repairs, and a significant amount of the work will therefore need to be done underwater. The donut fenders, fender face, and support bracket will be replaced similar to the original structure using attachment details designed to allow for field adjustment.

    Special attention to specifying work conditions and hours of access will be critical to obtaining bids that reflect an accurate understanding of owner constraints and expectations. We will require that the contractor submit a work plan with their bid, demonstrating that they can meet the stated requirements. We also will solicit unit prices for all quantities that will be difficult to estimate and which are potentially costly, such as the required volume of repair grout.

    Steve will provide construction observation services out of DOWL/HKMs Ketchikan office. He be well-acquainted with the details of the design, and will have ready access to Peggys expertise in the event of unanticipated changes or modifications. Steve will adjust his schedule to suit the dynamics of the construction job there when inspection is needed and working on other projects when it is not. His presence in Ketchikan will result in very efficient, cost-effective inspection services.

    Our Price Proposal articulates specific scope items and deliverables, along with assumptions, which we will not repeat here in the interest of brevity.

    Project Understanding The singular objective of the project is as follows: to return the Ketchikan Airport Ferry landing to full functionality, and to do so expeditiously and cost effectively while maintaining scheduled and emergency ferry operations. This is clearly articulated in the Request for Proposal (RFP). On August 28, representatives of Moffatt & Nichol and DOWL/HKM met on site with the Ketchikan Airport Manager to view and discuss the project: a site visit and meeting that greatly enhanced our understanding of the scope and span of the repairs, and which allowed us to develop an approach to the work with the right level of participation, detail and effort.

    The landing pontoon and fender system have performed well over the years in normal service: the damage to be repaired is as the result of mechanical and control failure of the vessel, therefore replacement in-like-kind with similar components and construction will satisfy the Boroughs functional and maintenance objectives. We understand that the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (ADOT&PF), the original designer of the facility will be involved in the review of the design and contract documents.

    Maintaining operation of the ferry throughout construction is critical to the Borough, its citizens and visitors to Ketchikan. The ferry provides regular passenger and vehicle access to and from the Ketchikan airport during scheduled operation; and 24/7 for emergency medical evacuation (medevac) services. The damaged fender panel is not absolutely essential to normal operation, and as such its temporary removal will not affect critical operations. Construction must accommodate the ongoing operation of the ferry terminal during regular hours, and will be subject to suspension on short notice during night work hours if the landing is needed in an emergency.

    Moffatt & Nichols Environmental Permit Specialist that a Nationwide Permit (NWP) for repair and maintenance will be required from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), driven by the in-water

  • Ketchikan Gateway Borough 3

    component of the work. Since this comprises a low impact repair exercise, we expect that it will be a straightforward, noncontroversial permit application and based on recent past experience in Southeast Alaska, we estimate three (3) months for its award. Although straightforward and outside of our scope of work this step is critical to project scheduling. Moffatt & Nichol would be pleased to provide permitting support as an additional service if the Borough finds that they need this service: we have not proposed or priced this service, beyond the preparation of a written Project Description for use in submitting the NWP application, as permitting was not specifically requested in the RFP.

    Subconsultants DOWL/HKM of Ketchikan will provide on-site liaison services and condition assessment and construction inspection services. DOWL/HKM is a multi-disciplined consulting firm that has provided project development services in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest for over 50 years. They have 375 employees, in 20 offices spread through Alaska, Arizona, Montana, North Dakota, Washington and Wyoming.

    Alaska Commercial Divers, Inc. of Ketchikan will provide underwater survey support to accurately assess, delineate and quantify the damage needing to be repaired below the waterline. They will work closely and iteratively with, and under the direction of DOWL/HKMs Lead Inspector to ensure that all relevant visual and tactile observations and measurements are made.

    Relevant Project Experience LOPEZ FERRY TERMINAL FLOATING WING WALL REPLACEMENT, LOPEZ ISLAND, WASHINGTON

    CLIENT/OWNER: WASHINGTON STATE FERRIES, LEI LU (206) 515-3848 Washington State Ferries (WSF) is one of the largest ferry operators in the United States and possesses the largest ferry fleet and network of terminals. When WSF needed to replace its 40-year-old concrete floating wing walls at the Lopez Island Ferry Terminal in the San Juan Islands group, Moffatt & Nichol provided structural design support and project management services, including scheduling budgeting, and cost estimation. The floating wing walls constituted a highly specialized design suiting the unique deep water and rocky conditions

    at Lopez Island. Several replacement alternatives were considered, including: replacement in-kind, refurbishment of the existing floats, and replacement pile-supported wing walls. Ultimately, WSF chose to refurbish the existing wing walls as it was the most cost-effective solution.

    WARD COVE MARINE FACILITY FEASIBILITY STUDY, KETCHIKAN, ALASKA

    CLIENT/OWNER: ADOT&PF/AMHS, MATT TANAKA (907) 268-0824 The Alaska Marine Highways System (AMHS), operating ferries along the coastline of Alaska, intends to redevelop a former industrial site into the Ward Cove Marine Terminal in Ketchikan for seasonal (summer) ferry operations and for off-season (winter) a tie-up and maintenance. Moffatt & Nichol is currently providing specialty subconsultant services in terminal planning and site/civil design in support of a feasibility study addressing redevelopment options. The new marine and ferry terminal facility will include vessel berths,

    vehicle staging for ferry riders, parking lots, and a building for administrative, warehouse, and

  • Ketchikan Gateway Borough 4

    maintenance activities. As part of the overall plan, the co-location of berthing and shoreside support for NOAAs hydrographic survey ships was considered. The feasibility study is currently nearing completion as ADOT&PF/AMHS considers funding alternatives. Preliminary design is anticipated to begin in late-2013, with construction expected to commence in 2015.

    NAVAL WEAPONS STATION PORT HADLOCK AMMUNITION PIER INSPECTION AND REPAIR DESIGN, PORT HADLOCK, WASHINGTON

    CLIENT/OWNER: U.S. NAVY, BEN SUTTER (360) 396-1575 Moffatt & Nichol performed an underwater inspection of the ammunition pier, which revealed that some of the prestressed concrete piles supporting this strategic facility were damaged as the result of delayed ettringite formation. The damage necessitated a program of replacement of certain piling on a scheduled, prioritized basis. Moffatt & Nichol was been retained through a series of delivery orders to design installation of replacement piles, which required removal and replacement of utility trenches, pier deck, and portions of

    the Operations Building. Design services included preparation of plans and specifications and provision of construction-period services. Moffatt & Nichol also provided a repair design for the secondary fender system. Moffatt & Nichol has tailored inspections and repairs for this facility with a program of above- and below-water inspections and design for pile replacementsbased on the individual rate of degradation of the pilesto be addressed in follow-on repair contracts. The repairs are designed to prevent interference with future pile replacements. The program will ultimately result in all 1000+ structural piles being replaced at the facility.

All proposers, other than individuals, must include evidence of authorization to sign on behalf of the corporation, partnership, limited liability company, or other organization.

Instead the Proposal Review Team or the Borough Manager will, during the proposal review process, determine whether each proposal responds directly to the evaluation criteria. Proposals that do not meet that requirement will be considered non-responsive.

    Completion of this checklist does not guarantee that a proposal will be considered to be responsive. The checklist is provided strictly as a courtesy to respondents.
