Exhibit A
Griffin Drive — 7th Ave to Rouse Ave Reconstruction and Griffin/Manley Intersection
Improvements
Pre-Design Scope of Work
10/17/19
Sanderson Stewart is pleased to provide this scope of work for the Griffin Drive Reconstruction project,along
with our subconsultants, SK Geotechnical,Weston Solutions and Marvin &Associates. The initial contract
phase for the Griffin Drive Reconstruction project will consist of pre-design services only. These services will
include a traffic impact study,evaluation of signals vs.roundabouts,topographic survey,geotechnical analysis,
wetland delineation,identification of public and private utility conflicts,railroad coordination and preliminary
right-of-way review. A detailed scope of services for these pre-design tasks is outlined as follows.
Phase 1-Project Initiation
This phase of the project will include all project initiation and planning tasks, including scoping, contract
preparation, meetings with the City of Bozeman and coordination with sub-consultants. All project
management tasks,client meetings and subconsultant coordination for tasks beyond project initiation will be
allocated to the remaining project phases.
Phase 2-Traffic Data Collection
Traffic data collection will consist of average daily traffic(ADT) counts at two locations along the corridor,as
well as AM and PM peak hour turning movement counts at the following intersections:
■ Griffin Dr/Gilkerson Dr
■ Griffin Dr/Evergreen Dr
■ Griffin Dr/Manley Rd
The intersection of North 7th Avenue and Griffin Drive is not included in this list because it has recently been
counted as part of the MDT intersection project. Similarly,the Rouse Avenue intersection will not be counted
or evaluated for improvements because it was just recently reconstructed with MDT's Rouse Avenue project.
Traffic data will be collected using Miovision Scout video counters. The initial processing of the data will
consist of 2-hour durations over each peak period for turning movement counts and will include classification
of trucks, bicycles and pedestrians. ADT volumes will also include a breakdown of trucks, bicycles and
pedestrians, as well as directional distribution. ADT count locations will coincide with intersection counts to
avoid duplication of effort. Video data will be stored throughout the duration of the project in case additional
processing is needed.
Phase 3-Traffic Impact Study(TIS)
The traffic impact study analysis will include a projection of design year (20-year) traffic volume projections,
including background growth and known developments,and capacity analysis for all intersections included in
the data collection task for both AM and PM peak hours. A complete evaluation of a traffic signal vs.
roundabout will be conducted for the Manley Road intersection based on design year volumes, and a traffic
signal warrant analysis will also be performed. The other two study intersections will be evaluated for potential
traffic control improvements,likely consisting of auxiliary turn lanes,but it is not anticipated that a traffic signal
or roundabout will be warranted.
This phase will also include review and analysis of crash data for the past 3 years,corridor traffic simulation for
both peak periods using either Synchro or Vissim,and evaluation of bike and pedestrian accommodations along
and across the corridor. Crash data will be requested from the City of Bozeman Police Department and MDT
for the entire corridor. It is assumed that the City of Bozeman will provide copies of traffic impact studies
prepared for area developments.
The TIS findings, including all tables and figures necessary to summarize the various analysis tasks and
recommended improvements,will be incorporated into a traffic summary report. Marvin &Associates will
provide assistance with some of the TIS components,as shown in their attached scope and fee.
Phase 4-Wetland Delineation
This phase of the project will consist of the field delineation and functional assessment of all potential waters
of the U.S., including wetlands, along the Griffin Drive corridor from North 7th Avenue to Rouse Avenue.
The extent of waterways and wetlands within the projected Griffin Drive right-of-way will be flagged,surveyed
and included in the base drawings. If calculated impacts to any waters of the U.S.require a Section 404 permit,
the Sanderson Stewart team will prepare and submit the appropriate permit application as part of the future
design phase of the project. A scope of services for this phase provided by Weston Solutions is included as an
attachment to this scoping document.
Phase 5- Geotechnical Analysis
Soils and pavement design evaluations will be conducted and recommendations for the roadway surfacing
section will be prepared by SK Geotechnical. This evaluation will consist of nine borings,including five within
the existing roadway pavement(four on Griffin and one on Manley),as well as four borings off of the existing
roadway. Laboratory testing will be conducted,and a geotechnical report will be prepared for inclusion in the
overall pre-design report. A scope of services for this task provided by SK Geotechnical is included as an
attachment to this scoping document.
Phase 6-Topographic Survey
A detailed topographic survey of the Griffin Drive corridor will be conducted from North 7th Avenue to Rouse
Avenue using a combination of GPS, scanning and total station techniques. The survey area on the west end
will begin at the eastern limits of MDT's intersection project at North 7th Avenue and Griffin Drive. Survey
tasks will include compilation of all plats and certificates of survey along the corridor. A corner search to
establish right-of-way will be conducted,but a complete boundary survey is not included. Up to 40 hours of
field time will be spent searching for property corners. Additional pre-survey research will be conducted as
required,utility locates will be requested,and survey control will be set by Sanderson Stewart with monuments
at a minimum spacing of 0.25 miles. A preliminary right-of-way exhibit will be prepared to identify the parcels
that will require right-of-way acquisition to get to the desired 90-foot right-of-way.
Sanderson Stewart will assemble and review existing as-built drawings for the corridor as available from the
City of Bozeman,MDT,and private utilities. Base drawings will be prepared in Autocad format following the
completion of the topographic survey,and additional pick-up topo will be conducted as needed throughout the
duration of the project. Base drawings will be prepared in Montana State Plane coordinates to be consistent
with the MDT project at North 7th Avenue and Griffin Drive. Public and private utilities will be located prior
to the survey via one-call for inclusion in base drawings. This phase also includes traffic control needed for the
completion of survey tasks.
Phase 7—Railroad and Utility Coordination
Sanderson Stewart will provide coordination with Montana Rail Link and the private utility companies
throughout the development of the concept designs and pre-design report. This will include a temporary
occupancy permit for survey and wetland delineation tasks within railroad right-of-way and expenses associated
with a certified flagger for work within 25 feet of the railroad tracks. Input from Montana Rail Link will include
review of existing right-of-way and design alternatives as they relate to right-of-way impacts and the railroad
crossing design. Montana Rail Link will provide opinions of probable cost for crossing improvements upon
review of concept design alternatives. The pre-design report will address supplemental safety measures that
will be required for a potential future quiet zone. Tasks include correspondence and up to two meetings with
Montana Rail Link.
Private utility coordination is anticipated to consist primarily of coordination with Northwestern Energy for
possible relocation of the existing power lines along Griffin Drive for the proposed roadway widening and
intersection improvements. It is anticipated that the main transmission line on the south side of the roadway
will stay in its current location,but the smaller line on the north side of Griffin Drive may be relocated if needed
for roadway widening. Tasks include correspondence and up to two meetings with Northwestern Energy.

Re: City of Bozeman
Griffin Drive From 7°ito Rouse Reconstruction and Griffin/Manley Intersection Improvements
Wetland Delineation and Mitigation Alternatives
Dear Danielle:
Weston Solutions, Inc. (WESTON) is pleased to present this proposed scope of services for the Griffin
Drive From 7`h to Rouse Reconstruction and Griffin/Manley Intersection Improvements project in
Bozeman,Montana.
Wetland Delineation and Mitigation Alternatives
This task involves evaluation and assessment of baseline conditions and potential project effects on
aquatic resources. WESTON assumes one(1)field trip to the site in order to evaluate baseline conditions
and to delineate aquatic resources. WESTON will conduct a wetland and waterbody assessment and
delineation within 100 feet of the project limits in order to evaluate if potential wetlands and/or"Waters
of the United States" are present within the survey area and to identify the approximate boundaries of
such features. WESTON will utilize personnel trained and experienced in wetlands identification and
related report preparation to perform the following:
• Review desktop data prior to conducting the field survey,including U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-
minute topographic quadrangle maps;United States Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetlands
Inventory(NWI)maps; aerial photographs(current and historical);U.S.Department of
Agriculture,Natural Resources Conservation Service County Soil Surveys; and Federal
Emergency Management Agency Flood Hazard Maps.Review of these documents will assist in
the planning and execution of the field survey and will be documented in the report.
• Conduct a wetland survey using the methodology contained in the 1987 U.S.Army Corps of
Engineers' (USACE)Wetland Delineation Manual and the Western Mountains Regional
Supplement.The survey will evaluate soils,vegetation,and hydrology with respect to the federal
methodology.The appropriate revised USACE Wetland Determination Data Forms will be used
to record sample points for presence or absence of hydrophytic vegetation,hydric soil,and
wetland hydrology.
• Identify the wetland type/classification following HGM and Cowardin classification systems and
categorize wetlands according to Montana Wetland Assessment Method(MWAM).Complete the
MWAM forms.
• Gather applicable data for each wetland or waterbody feature,including ordinary high water
mark,bank height,bank slope,stream-flow, direction and type,water appearance,stream
substrate,aquatic habitats,and channel conditions and disturbances. Observations will be
recorded on data sheets.
• Utilize a global positioning system(GPS)device with sub-meter accuracy to record(survey)
potential wetland or waterbody features with paired data points collected for each feature,and
wetland polygons collected along the actual wetland limits.
an employee-owned company is
WESTON assumes the following to complete this activity:
• Upon authorization, Sanderson Stewart will provide WESTON survey area boundaries that
accurately depict the survey area including project area access. Sanderson Stewart will provide
written rights-of-entry for identified properties.
• WESTON will have safe and timely access to the survey property. WESTON will only survey
areas with explicit permission for WESTON access.
• It is assumed wetlands identified on site are limited in their extent and complexity so that they
can be completely surveyed by the two-person field crew over a one-day period.
• The findings and conclusions presented will be based solely on visual observations of the project
area and interpretation of information provided or reasonably available to WESTON and will
include the likely jurisdictional status of identified features.The official jurisdictional
determination of features discussed in the report can only be made by the USACE, Omaha
District.
• Sanderson Stewart will incorporate collected GPS data into Computer Aided Design and Drafting
(CADD)files. Geospatial data for the site,aquatic resource boundaries,wetland delineation,and
data point locations will be provided in an Esri Shapefile format compatible with a Geographic
Information System(GIS)system. Each Shapefile will be provided in the site's appropriate
coordinate system and datum and attributes describing each feature.
WESTON will evaluate and assess the baseline conditions and potential project effects to aquatic
resources and document in a report. The report will describe the findings of the wetland delineation and
waterbody assessment, including information reviewed, data collection, survey methods, results,
conclusions, and recommendations. Maps of wetlands identified on the property, wetland and waterbody
data sheets, and photographs will be included. Recommendations to reduce and/or eliminate adverse
impacts will be described.If deemed necessary,potential mitigation alternatives will also be identified. If
this project results in impacts to wetlands requiring mitigation, it is assumed that mitigation needs can be
met through an available mitigation bank within the watershed. If a bank is not available, WESTON will
provide an additional proposal to develop a project specific mitigation alternative.
WESTON assumes submittal of a draft and final report in electronic format only. The draft report will be
supplied in Microsoft Word and Adobe pdf format; the final document will be provided in pdf format
only.
As detailed in the attached cost estimate,the total cost for this effort is $10,790. Please don't hesitate to
contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss this scope of services in detail. We look
forward to working with you on this project.
Very truly yours,
Weston Solutions,Inc.

Dear Danielle:
Re: Proposal for a Geotechnical Evaluation,Proposed Griffin Drive Improvements,Bozeman,
Montana
As you requested,we are pleased to furnish this proposal for a geotechnical evaluation for the proposed
Griffin Drive improvement project.
We will furnish the services described for a lump sum of$14,840 in accordance with our attached scope
of services. If this proposal is acceptable,we have assumed you will prepare a subcontract agreement for
our review and signature.
Current scheduling would permit us to begin the fieldwork in the fall of 2019,likely in late September or
early October. We anticipate the fieldwork will take about three days including mobilization and
demobilization. Approximately four to six weeks will then be required for laboratory testing and
preparation of the engineering report,unless there are delays due to circumstances beyond our control.
We appreciate the opportunity to present this proposal. If you have any questions,please contact us at
your convenience.
Sincerely,
Cory G.Rice,PE
Senior Engineer

Sanderson Stewart July 25,2019
Proposal P-19082 Page 2
Proposed Scope of Services
Description of Project
The purpose of the geotechnical evaluation will be to characterize and evaluate subsurface soil and
groundwater conditions at the selected boring locations for the proposed Griffin Drive improvement
project.
The information you provided indicates Griffin Drive will be reconstructed and widened to a three-lane
roadway with a center turn lane and bike path, and curb and gutter. The roadway will be widened
possibly to both the north and south. This will require relocation of the existing overhead utilities that
parallel the roadway. As part of the pavement improvements, additional storm drainage will also be
installed to collect stormwater in a curb and gutter and subsurface piping system.
The roadway improvements will have a total length of approximately 2,000 feet and will connect to the
recent Montana Department of Transportation project along Griffin Drive to the west and the recent East
Griffin Drive improvements near the North Rouse Avenue intersection. As part of the improvements,
about 100 feet of Manley Road will also be widened to a three-lane roadway. This intersection will also
be evaluated as a potential roundabout versus a signalized structure.
We have assumed we will be provided with a to-scale site plan showing the location of the proposed
improvements prior to the fieldwork. We have also assumed the boring locations will be accessible to our
truck-mounted drill rig, and no towing, snow removal,or special site-preparation services will be
required. To evaluate the widened areas, it will be necessary for us to access the property both north and
south of the highway and beyond the overhead power lines. We have assumed landowner access will be
provided for us to access these locations,and landowner access coordination will be completed by others.
Access delays due to circumstances beyond our control could result in additional charges. We have also
assumed our current insurance amounts are acceptable, and we can provide you with a certificate of
insurance.
Scope of Services
Borehole Staling and Permits. We propose to have a geotechnical engineer visit the site to perform an
engineering reconnaissance of the existing pavement and stake the proposed boring locations. We will set
stakes marked with the boring number having pink and blue ribbon tied near the top and use spray paint
for borings in pavement. We request Sanderson Stewart survey the final drilled locations and provide the
surveyed locations and ground surface elevations to us before preparing our report. We have assumed it
will be necessary to obtain a permit from the City of Bozeman to complete the soil borings.
Sanderson Stewart July 25,2019
Proposal P-19082 Page 3
Soil Borings. We propose to provide a total of nine penetration test borings along the proposed project.
Four of the borings will be performed within the existing asphalt paved surface along Griffin Drive and
one along Manley Drive. These borings will be extended to a depth of 10 feet. We also propose to
perform four borings off of the existing roadways to both the north and south to evaluate the stripping and
subgrade conditions beyond the existing pavement. These borings will be extended to a depth of 15 feet
to also evaluate the depth to groundwater and anticipated trench subgrade conditions for storm drainage
improvements.
Penetration tests will be completed in the borings to assist in evaluating bearing capacities of the subsoils
and to obtain representative samples for classification. The penetration tests will be conducted at 2 1/2-
foot intervals. Larger composite bag samples of the subgrade soils will also be obtained for California
bearing ratio(CBR)testing. If groundwater is encountered,its depth will be recorded. Upon completion,
we will backfill the boreholes with auger cuttings to the ground surface and place a cold mix asphalt patch
for borings performed in paved areas.
Laboratory Testing. The samples will be returned to our laboratory and visually classified and logged
by a geotechnical engineer. Some routine laboratory tests may be conducted to assist us in evaluating the
strength and compressibility of the soils. Depending on the subsurface conditions,typical tests are
penetrometer,moisture content,sieve analysis,Atterberg limits,moisture density(Proctor), and CBR
tests.
Geotechnical Report. After the field and laboratory tests have been completed,the results will be
analyzed and discussed with you. A geotechnical engineering report will then be prepared. The report
will address the suitability of the soils to support the proposed storm drainage utilities and
recommendations related to Type 2 bedding, if needed. We will also provide recommendations regarding
reuse of on-site soils as utility trench and recommendations for compaction. We will also provide
recommended pavement sections for Griffin Drive and Manley Road. Since full reconstruction is
planned,evaluation of rehabilitation alternatives,such as full-depth recycling,have not been included in
our current scope of services. We have assumed primarily asphalt pavement surfaces are desired. If a
roundabout is to be considered for the intersection with Manley Drive, a recommended Portland cement
concrete pavement alternative will be provided. The geotechnical report will be prepared on an 8 1/2-by
11-inch letter format containing details of our recommendations. One electronic copy will be emailed to
you followed by a hard copy in the mail.
Utility Clearance. SK Geotechnical will contact the local utilities one-call number to notify the local
telephone,electric,gas,sewer,water, and cable TV companies to determine the location of underground
utilities. We request that you or your authorized representative notify the SK Geotechnical project
manager immediately of the presence and location of any underground objects on private property which
Sanderson Stewart July 25,2019
Proposal P-19082 Page 4
are not the responsibility of public utilities. Our services do not include subcontracting a private utility
locator or conducting additional research to identify other utilities. SK Geotechnical will take reasonable
precautions to avoid underground objects. In authorizing this contract,you agree to waive any claim
against SK Geotechnical and will indemnify and hold SK Geotechnical harmless from any claim of
liability, injury, or loss allegedly arising from our damaging of underground objects that were not called
to our attention prior to beginning the work.
