P.O. Box 1907 Twin Falls, ID 83303-1907 Dear Mr. Stowe and Members of the Selection Committee: Horrocks respectfully submits our proposal to the City of Twin Falls to design, bid, and provide construction engineering and inspection services on the Wendell Filer Martin Round-a-Bout(the Project). The Horrocks team offers the availability, skills, and dedication to complete the scope of work while meeting or exceeding the City of Twin Falls'goals. Our team, based in Logan, UT, is supported by staff located in our Twin Falls, Meridian, and Idaho Falls locations. Horrocks has a proven record of success and offers the following: • Round-a-Bout Experience and Expertise: Horrocks has designed a variety of round-a-bouts throughout the Western U.S. for municipalities and state clients,and our team is poised to leverage our extensive experience to address the unique geographical and traffic needs of the City of Twin Falls. By incorporating design standards from the U.S. Department of Transportation, local roadway standards,and lessons learned,we will ensure that the round-a-bout is tailored to optimize traffic flow, accessibility, safety, and ease of use. • A Project Manager Familiar with the Area: CRS Engineering &Surveying,which was acquired by Horrocks during the Fall of 2024, recently performed work for the City of Twin Falls on the Elizabeth Blvd.and Stadium Blvd. Sidewalk projects.These sidewalk projects were managed by our Project Manager, Max Pierce, PE. Max has 30 years of transportation infrastructure design experience that includes 28 years as a former City Engineer. He has been involved in over 100 roadway projects for more than 25 municipalities. His experience as a consultant and a City Engineer gives him a unique perspective in anticipating the needs of the City of Twin Falls while building on already- established relationships with both the City of Twin Falls and the Twin Falls Canal Company. • Robust Public Involvement(PI) Services:With an understanding that properly planned and executed PI will be essential to complete the Project, our PI Lead, Shauna Tefft, will develop a successful strategic approach to engage the community throughout the project development process. Shauna led the PI efforts on the recent Snake River Crossing Study near Twin Falls for the Idaho Transportation Department(ITD), in which Horrocks developed a robust PI plan to help ITO provide a transparent and collaborative process for the public. • Innovative Design:The Horrocks team has already identified key design features that we will work with the City of Twin Falls to incorporate into the Project, including speed profiles, proper lighting and drainage, path conflict points,and outer truck aprons.We will also work with the associated developers as part of our design team to identify and implement not only design solutions, but good development solutions. Our Technical Advisor, Matt Horrocks, PE, is an round-a-bout design course instructor for public agencies and cities across the Western U.S.and will provide input from his 23 years of experience in designing and managing transportation projects. • Construction Inspection Services:We have a team of qualified, experienced inspectors in Logan, UT,and Twin Falls who will provide inspections, as needed, during construction of the Project. Our response demonstrates our team's qualifications and experience, approach to completing the work, and understanding of potential opportunities and challenges associated with the Project.We are excited to collaborate with the City of Twin Falls and develop solutions for this unique intersection.
