Certifications, and
AECOM’s Approach to Providing Quality
Professional Services for Stormwater Projects
The City of Durham manages an extensive stormwater drainage system comprised of pipes, streams, ditches, and

channels. This RFQ for on-call professional services requires the consultant to provide full-delivery project support
for Stormwater Management Capital Improvement Projects (CIP). The range of projects under this contract
include drainage infrastructure CIP projects such as major culvert and storm drainage system repairs, small-scale
neighborhood drainage projects, and water quality type projects that may include stream restoration or special
studies. All projects are important and compete for the limited funding available through the stormwater utility
enterprise funds. Thus, effective project planning is an important tool for efficient allocation of available resources
in implementing the stormwater CIP projects. AECOM anticipates that a Supplemental Services Agreement (SSA)/
Task Order issued under this contract will focus on providing services for one or more project types from a City
maintained CIP projects priority list, and presents our approach for handling a variety of stormwater CIP projects:
TAB 3: Durham, NC
Region Projects
Stormwater CIP Projects under Neighborhood Drainage Program
The City of Durham Stormwater Drainage Policy provides guidelines for the cost-share drainage assistance
program when private properties are involved. These projects typically experience localized flooding, severe
erosion, and limited channel instability. If design of such project(s) is requested under the SSA, a kickoff meeting
between AECOM staff (Project Manager and Task Lead) and City staff will be scheduled. During the kickoff
meeting, the AECOM team will gather background information for the project from City staff including flooding
history, property owner preferences or limitations, and any potential retrofit opportunities, followed by a brief field

and Understanding
visit from the AECOM staff. After the field reconnaissance is completed and the need and limits of topographic
survey are identified, AECOM will work with the City staff to facilitate authorization of right-of-entry forms with
property owners. During the process, the property owner will be notified that survey staff will require access to the
property to conduct base mapping of the project area. This survey may include horizontal and vertical location
of pipe inverts, driveways, property lines, house corners and first floor elevations, channel cross-sections, tree /
ornamental landscaping locations. Once the survey is obtained from CH Engineering, preliminary design plans will
be prepared by AECOM engineers, in accordance with City of Durham and NCDOT standards. Preliminary opinion
of probable costs and project specifications will also be completed and submitted to the City’s Stormwater

staff for review. During a progress meeting, preliminary design, project issues, and constraints will be discussed.
to Urgent Requests
Upon approval of the preliminary plans, the AECOM design team will work towards producing 100% design and
construction documents. Final Plans will include necessary detail for the contractor to complete the work, for
example, installing stormwater pipes, seeding, matting, and repairing impacted concrete driveway, sidewalk, and
asphalt repair are anticipated. The permitting team will also be mobilized if any local, state, or federal permits are
needed for project implementation. During the bid phase, AECOM engineer will be available for questions and we
will assist the City as needed with construction administration and inspection services.
Major Stormwater Infrastructure CIP Projects

Since these projects widely vary in scope, AECOM presents a general approach for major drainage CIP projects
that may include culvert replacement and inspections, storm drainage system inspection, rehabilitation, and EBOP for UBEs
replacement, if a SSA with such project(s) is issued.
Project Management. A kickoff meeting will be scheduled that will include the AECOM Project Manager, Task
Manager, and the appropriate City staff. Project coordination and milestone-driven progress meetings will be
scheduled for the design duration with the AECOM staff and City representatives. Items discussed during the
Project Coordination Meetings may include review of monthly progress reports, invoices, technical / policy
interpretations, project goals / challenges, and other issues.
Data Collection, Base Mapping, and Survey. The review and collection of supporting data will be performed
by compiling available information, such as USGS Maps, NRCS Soil Maps, and FEMA Flood Insurance Studies.
AECOM will conduct a field assessment to include collection of site photos and identification of drainage features;
comparison of base mapping and survey features with actual field conditions; evaluation of impacted drainage
features; and assessment of existing environmental features. Topographic survey will include existing information
of the project limits of the existing culverts and channels. CH Engineering is prepared to collect this data in a
timely and professional manner for delivery to AECOM. AECOM | 41
Hydrologic and Hydraulic Modeling. Data collected in the aforementioned step will be used to delineate the
drainage areas for the conveyance features (culverts, streams, lakes, etc.) that need improvements within the
project area. This task will include delineation of watershed and sub-basins and verification of current land use
areas to understand the hydrology and hydraulics. Storm drainage systems, culverts, and channel sections within
the project area will be evaluated for existing conditions capacity and stability using appropriate models such as
HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS or SWMM. Channel design may consist of modifications to channel geometry and vertical
profile along the existing horizontal alignments. Culvert design may consist of replacement of existing structures
and modifications to slope and invert elevation.
Design, Permitting and Construction Documents Preparation
Alternatives Evaluation (25% design): Conceptual design documents (25%) for alternative solutions will be
prepared utilizing the existing conditions modeling effort, for review and comment by the City staff. Each alternative
will be evaluated by the team for flood control benefits, water quality benefits, environmental considerations,
impact to public or private property, and preliminary cost. The selected alternative will move to the final design and
construction document phase.
75% Construction Documents (CD). AECOMs multi-disciplinary team of stormwater, geotechnical, structural
engineers will be involved in developing the design. The 75% design and construction documents will include all
discipline design drawings and details, technical specifications, estimate of quantities, and engineer’s estimate of
probable construction cost. A drainage design report will also be provided with the 75% construction document
submittals for City review and comments.
Permitting. Permit approvals from applicable regulatory agencies having jurisdiction are very important to the
schedule and budget of a project. Following a pre-application meeting with regulatory agency staff, appropriate
permit applications will be submitted for review and approvals. AECOM scientists can provide Jurisdictional Stream
Determination (JD) using the most recent USACE and NCDEQ procedures.
100% CD. Following City review and comment of 75% construction documents, AECOM will provide 100%
Construction Documents for the City’s use in bidding and construction of the project. These documents will
include all discipline final design drawings and details, technical specifications, incorporation of City bidding
documents, bid tab formatted with items, units and estimated quantities with specification references, and
engineer’s estimate of probable construction cost.
Construction Bidding Services. AECOM can assist in the construction bidding services that include attending
the pre-bid meeting, documenting clarifications with addenda, reviewing the bids, and preparing a certified bid
tab. In our experience, grouping the projects for bidding may be the most efficient way to implement and manage
CIP projects. The projects can be bundled by category for example, neighborhood drainage projects / larger CIP
projects, geographic location in the city, or a combination. This would invite qualified contractors and competitive
bids, minimize extra paperwork, and expedite the construction.
Construction Management. Before construction begins, projects requiring a temporary change in traffic patterns
or lane closures may require notifications to adjacent property owners and city departments with essential
services such as police, fire, and public transit. AECOM Public Involvement staff can prepare the press releases
and other notification flyers as needed for distribution via social media or other outlet sources.
Construction Inspections. As part of AECOM’s normal operating procedures, all AECOM inspectors and
field engineering staff will prepare construction observation field reports whenever a site visit is made. These
reports will include progress photos and observations on field construction activities, including contractor
and subcontractor forces, the type and quantity of equipment on-site, and erosion control measures on site.
These reports will also note any field variance from the plans and specifications including areas of undercut
and approximate quantities. In our experience, Primavera or a similar software tool for project / construction
management can increase efficiency and accuracy to track material quantities, generate daily reports, and process
monthly invoices. This can be an internet-based tool accessible to the City and AECOM project managers,
construction inspectors, as well as the contractor.
42 | AECOM
Certifications, and
Bridge/Culvert Inspections. The City is responsible for maintaining many existing bridges and culverts, and thus
requires periodic inspection and maintenance recommendations. Under the oversight of AECOM engineers who
are technical experts in this work, qualified professionals from Simpson Engineers and Associates will conduct
the inspections under this contract.
Public Outreach and Involvement

Public stakeholder meetings provide opportunities to receive input from the public on areas of concern
within the project vicinity and to provide information on the objectives of the project to the property owners.

In our experience, at least two public meetings should be held during the project. The first public meeting is
an informational meeting after the data collection phase of the project but before any design of proposed
improvements is developed. The second public meeting occurs prior to the development of final construction
documents to present the proposed improvements. Based on City’s direction, AECOM will prepare the materials,
facilitate the meeting, and summarize the results.
Water Quality and Watershed Studies

Our team recognizes the nuance that water quantity and water quality projects go hand in hand and thus the
team will attempt to examine all candidate CIP projects for potential retrofit opportunities to enhance water quality
TAB 3: Durham, NC
and address pollutant reduction goals. Once we identify the areas subject to flooding and erosion by modeling
Region Projects
studies and validated by the historical drainage complaints received by the City, the team will review the available
options to control flooding and reduce pollutant loads. The City of Durham is a leader in stormwater management
and has already identified many CIP projects through their comprehensive Watershed Improvement Plans. Our
team is already familiar with these and is ready to work with the City staff in selecting the top-priority projects for
implementation.
If the watershed discharges to an impaired or nutrient-sensitive stream, opportunities to incorporate green

infrastructure and low-impact development (LID) practices that can reduce flooding as well as provide water quality
and Understanding
benefits will be considered. These value-added retrofit projects will advance the City’s stormwater management
quality goals. Once consensus has been achieved on the project scope and direction, AECOM will develop
conceptual design and planning-level costs to construct the project. If the City decides to implement the project,
AECOM will be ready to develop design and construction documents and assist with construction management
as directed. The approach discussed above for developing design and construction documents for major
infrastructure projects will be followed for these projects as well.
If the City issues a SSA for specialized water quality sampling or monitoring, our team of AECOM scientists and

AECOM’s Project Management and Quality Control Procedures
AECOM has established a rigorous Quality Management System (QMS) that is certified to the internationally
renowned ISO 9001:2008 standard. Producing high quality work products is one of the mainstays of AECOM’s
services. AECOM manages quality from the corporate management’s Director of Quality down to the project level
to make sure that Quality Assurance (QA) plans and Quality Control (QC) actions are compliant with ISO 9001. The
QMS is administered by the Project Managers and implemented by the entire project team. As part of the QMS,
all deliverables undergo internal reviews as appropriate (discipline review, detail checks, constructability review,
independent review, etc.) and are also subject to review and approval by a Lead Verifier, who are individuals that are
approved by AECOM to verify that the deliverable meets the standard of practice for a specific technical practice
area. The QMS provides our clients deliverables that are technically accurate and complete. AECOM’s dedication
to quality will provide the City of Durham the assurance of accurate and quality deliverables.

AECOM’s Approach to Addressing Constructability of Projects and
Providing Accurate Estimates
The AECOM team will continually assess constructability for a project during all phases, from conceptual design
through development of construction documents. In the infancy of a project, the lead project engineer or task
manager will identify site constraints and general barriers to constructability (such as site access or availability
of materials) and develop solutions to move the project forward. As a design project matures and progresses
toward developing construction drawings and technical specifications, and depending on the project size, risk,
and complexity, the lead project engineer or task manager will engage AECOM’s construction professionals
to seek guidance and input. AECOM believes in engaging our team of construction professionals during the
design phase, as their unique perspective often provides insightful input which ultimately results in delivery of a
more efficient and constructible project design. The AECOM team will also consider constructability both at the
individual component level and from a holistic project-wide perspective. For example, when designing a curtain
wall retrofit for a drainage structure, discipline engineers (stormwater, structural, and geotechnical) will consider
local site conditions/constraints and anticipated contractor capabilities when devising a solution to connect the
new concrete wall to the existing drainage structure, while the lead project engineer or task manager will evaluate
overall access to the site based on anticipated construction equipment and general site conditions/requirements.
Our engineers have extensive experience developing cost estimates at all phases of a project. During conceptual
design and alternatives/feasibility evaluation, rough order of magnitude (ROM) estimates are often prepared to
assist in planning and decision making regarding alternatives and funding requests. ROM cost estimates are
usually developed based on material quantity estimates for primary materials and unit costs as well as assumed
percentages for “unlisted items” and ancillary items such as mobilization, traffic control, and erosion and sediment
control. Substantial contingency cost is usually added to the ROM cost estimates to reflect the uncertainty
in primary quantities, unknown items, escalation, market outlook, and other risks. As more components of the
project are detailed and specified, the assumed percentages for ancillary items may be replaced with material
quantities and unit cost estimates or task-breakdown cost estimates. If the construction documents are based on
a unit cost bid approach, the actual bid form may be used to assign unit costs and develop a total cost estimate,
which facilitates comparison to contractor bids and bid tabulation.
Unit costs used in cost estimates are typically developed from the following sources in order of priority: City
supplied bid tabulations and averages, contractor supplied costs, AECOM supplied bid tabulations and averages,
NCDOT bid averages, and other published sources such as RSMeans. AECOM may also develop unit costs for
bid items through task or work breakdown approaches based on labor and equipment anticipated. Unit costs
and task-based cost estimates may be adjusted based the source date and location due to cost inflation or
geographical differences.
Support Needed from City Staff for Execution of Services

AECOM plans to work closely with the City staff in implementing effective solutions for each project. Support
from the City staff to execute the project will depend on the specific needs of the project assignment, and will be
discussed in detail during the kickoff meeting. Some general anticipated areas where the AECOM team may need
support from the City staff to execute the requested services include:
• Access to information that is not publically available through the City’s website: plans and documents,
standards, models or other custom tools, GIS data and monitoring data.
• Navigating the City Council agenda items and other municipal government approval processes. AECOM will
assist by providing supporting information to the City staff.
• Inviting appropriate City staff to kickoff and progress meetings.
• Records of drainage complaints for the project of interest.
• Access to City Primavera account if City will retain AECOM for construction management services.
AECOM also anticipates that City staff will review and provide comments on draft deliverables, provide institutional
knowledge and guidance to support key decisions and coordinate with other City staff, as appropriate. Through our
recent project experience with the City, AECOM has gathered a number of key datasets that have been developed
and/or are maintained by the City. This familiarity, along with a needs assessment that will be performed at the
start of each project, will help us quickly identify project-specific needs early in the project and avoid unnecessary
project delays.
