I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I work with the City of Sterling and CWCB to raise comfort levels of the public regarding these areas. Based upon our experience on past master planning projects, we have found that public involvement is critical to such projects. WRC has developed questionnaires for public distribution, presented projects to all levels of public and private parties and has met one on one with individuals who would be impacted by construction. We recognize the importance of developing plans wherein construction of the project does not adversely effect those who live, work, and operate businesses adjacent to the site or who travel through the area. Please note that WRC will undertake this effort only after the City and CWCB's approval is secured. 5. APPROACH TO CONSTRUCTION COST ESTIMATING: WRC draws upon several sources, including our in-house library of estimating data, in preparing construction cost estimates. We pride ourselves on the accnracy of onr estimates. It is our philosophy to attempt to closely match a "low bid" and not to provide an over inflated estimate to protect ourselves. The ability to accurately estimate construction costs is very critical especially while evaluating alternative solutions. Some examples of our work from the past 2 years include: . Project WRCEngineer's .' Low Bid . ........ .... Estimate 1. Neva Road Outfall Storm Sewer and $199,600 $201,000 Channel (Phase I of Old Town Niwot L.l.D.) 2. Jay Road and Niwot Road/BNRR $173,988 $163,428 Crossing Improvements (Boulder County Department of Transportation) 3. Basin 15 Storm Sewer $255,292 $227,546 (Arapahoe County) 4. Zone 2300 Pipeline $1,656.574 $1.787,485 (Las Vegas Valley Water District) 5. 17th A venue Drainage Outfall System $957,214 $947,271 (City of Longmont) 6. Chateaux Beaumar Phase I Drainage $220,214 $210,846 Improvements (City of Littleton) 6. PEER REVIEW PROGRAM: WRC implements a rigid peer review program whereby every project is scrutinized by a qualified professional who usually is not part of our design team. When merited, WRC has retained the services of an outside consultant to provide peer review services. We have found that employing the "fresh eyes" of a qualified professional in the role of "devils advocate" can, as a minimum, provide an additional level of quality assnrance to our client's project. Sometimes the result is a design change that makes the project better serve the client's needs. CITY OF STERLING/CWCIl 2 \\ RC ENGINEERING. INC.
