<br />engineering, We are large enough to provide quick effective reviews and yet small enough that our <br />staff is directly focused on floodplain management. <br /> <br />We are highly respected by the Colorado Water Conservation Board; FEMA; Corps of Engineers, and <br />the Denver area Urban Drainage and Flood Control District. Our proposal includes contacts with <br />these agencies to confirm our capabilities, Two of our staff, Mike Vinson, PE, and Terri Fead, PE <br />gained extensive experience in completing floodplain studies while working indirectly for FEMA, <br />Mike and Terri previously worked for Michael Baker, Jr. in Washington DC on that firm's FEMA <br />"Technical Evaluation Contractor" (TEC) contract. FEMA forwards all Region VIII FlS LOMR and <br />CLOMR submittals on to Michael Baker for review and processing, While working on the Michael <br />Baker contract, Mike and Terri helped establish the technical requirements for completing map <br />revisions, They not only managed Region VIII reviews, but also trained other Michael Baker staff in <br />FEMA requirements and how to conduct the reviews, ICON offers a staff that has "inside" <br />knowledge of what it takes to get FEMA acceptance of map revisions, and we have personal contacts <br />with FEMA's reviewing consultant. <br /> <br />While doing business as the Colorado branch office of Greenhorne & O'Mara, (from 1981 to 1997) <br />our personnel assisted the headquarters Washington DC office by conducting numerous FEMA <br />mapping reviews, Like Michael Baker Jr" G&O served as a FEMA Technical Evaluation Contractor <br />(TEC), wherein we reviewed and processed riverine and coastal Flood Insurance Studies, Part 67 <br />Appeals, special conversions, request for Part 65 Revisions and Part 70 amendments to NFlP maps, <br />The Colorado office assisted in conducting reviews on approximately 75 significant studies, <br />Personnel from our office that received special training for completing this work include three current <br />ICON employees: Doug Williams, PE; Matt Urselta, PE; and Kent Barringer, PE, <br /> <br />ICON is freqnently called upon to complete floodplain analysis submittals on behalf of our clients <br />throughout Colorado, Clients for whom we have completed this type of work include the CWCB; <br />UD&FCD; and most Colorado front range communities, Our western slope clientele includes the <br />towns of Eagle, Grand Junction and Vail. Additionally, our staff have performed FEMA FIS studies <br />for many communities in several nearby states, <br /> <br />We truly feel that no other firm can offer our expertise, Our current staff has completed nearly 200 <br />projects for the UD&FCD that attests to our expertise in working on Floodplain Analysis projects, <br />Our familiarity with the State and FEMA requirements will make your job much easier. We are very <br />proud of our working relationship with the UD&FCD, FEMA and the CWCB, We look forward to <br />being a part of Colorado's success, <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />~N Eng~n~erjP~ Inc;! <br />~VM" ..Atdd</tttA-~ <br />Penn Gildersleeve, P,E, <br />Principal <br /> <br />i : \proposal\2000mi sc\grand junction. doc <br />
