ATA Experience with the City of Bozeman (COB) ATA has been working with the COB in various ways since 2015 including PSA’s for 2017, 2019, and 2020 (classes cancelled due to COVID). The COB has also been a sponsor for a number of storm water related training programs. In addition, the COB has been instrumental in supporting the BMP 102 Field Academy held in Bozeman in 2017 and 2018.

BMP Field Academy Computer Based Applications for Storm Water Management Storm Water Management for Industrial Operations Conducting Storm Water Compliance Inspections PART II – ATA BACKGROUND Altitude Training Associates, LLC is a sole owner Limited Liability Company (LLC) registered in Colorado and Montana in good standing with both states. ATA holds an Independent Contractor Exemption Certification (IC#332161IC) with the Montana Department of Labor and Industry. Scott Olson is listed as the sole owner. ATA has annual gross sales of between $50,000 and $350,000. The low end representing the COVID impacted time frame. Mr. Olson formed Altitude Training Associates as a sole proprietorship in 1995 and changed the business structure to an LLC in 2018. ATA is located in Durango, CO and occupies an office at 101 W 11th Street, Durango, CO 81301. ATA is a company with roots in environmental health and safety consulting and training dating back to 1986. Currently, ATA exclusively delivers educational programs with a specialty in storm water management during construction. The company’s long time business model is to work with state and local authorities to design curricula pertinent to the organizations water quality concerns and requirements. Upon delivery of the program, the agency representative(s) are invited to participate in the delivery of the program. When programs are developed, ATA uses the ADDIE model to ensure the curriculum is based in learning theory. ADDIE is an acronym for the five stages of a program development process (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The model relies on each stage being done in the given order. In March of 2020, nearly every in person class ATA had on the schedule was cancelled due to COVID. So, Scott Olson converted each program curricula from in person delivery to online delivery. The platform used for the online, instructor led programs now being delivered is Zoom. Zoom was selected because of the variety of interactive tools available including a wide variety of nonverbal feedback tools. Students are reporting the interaction and engagement using Zoom as excellent. Scott uses polling, group activities, screen sharing by participants, video clips (virtual field trip), testing, Q & A, chat (not just for messaging but also link and file sharing. Conducting classes online has given ATA the ability to provide a wide range of student materials by using links to a file sharing program in the cloud. Also, guest speakers such as from the Montana DEQ and local municipalities can participate because the program is virtual. The MT DEQ has acknowledged the online delivery of the BMP 201 and BMP 201R classes. ATA is on pace to deliver 25-30 online and in person classes in 2021. This is compared to half that many in 2020. From 2012 – 2019, ATA averaged 19 classes per year in Montana. ATA is recognized around the region as one of the best training providers and is established in nearly every sector of business and government. The company has little Submitted by Altitude Training Associates, LLC 9 Request for Qualifications (RFQ) Construction Site Stormwater Management Training to no overhead including no employees, is firmly established and recognized and is well trusted. With the addition of online delivery options, ATA is well positioned for the foreseeable future and remains ahead of competitors in its ability to develop and delivery educational programs. In particular, ATA delivers an exceptional program (BMP 102 BMP Field Academy) students call the best training they have ever experienced. The all hands on program plays right into the tactile learning style prevalent in the construction industry. Scott Olson poses a unique skill set to deliver this type of program. An ATA weakness has been the administrative and technological burden the future presents. To address this, ATA has IT and office management support. In addition, ATA has been working with StormwaterONE based in Connecticut since 2013 on development and delivery of various storm water programs including on demand virtual classes, webinars and other SME duties. Currently, ATA is planning to use StormwaterONE as a sub firm primarily for virtual on demand storm water training classes for which they have the technology and expertise in that modality. PART III – ATA WORKLOAD The ATA workload for the remainder of 2021 has many unknowns. The current open enrollment classes are approximately 14 (18 training days) for the rest of the year. The drastic COVID impacts to in person training may see an upward turn. In fact, ATA has added 4 new in person classes for between April and June 2021 but this is still way below the normal class load. ATA has been delivering hundreds of classes a year for over 20 years making the current demand easy to meet. To address a possible increase in demand, ATA leaves blocks typically by the week open to schedule programs. ATA measures the time commitment in training days knowing in person classes requiring travel take additional days. It is expected ATA will add 5-10 training days for the remainder of 2021 to the schedule in the next 2-3 months leaving blocks of time to add to the class schedule. The addition of online delivery and reduction in travel and printing expenses has allowed ATA to be flexible when it comes to scheduling, and price setting and is confident it can meet client budgets and schedules. However, it is still recommended a minimum 2 month planning and marketing period be built into a project. ATA is now very experienced with using an online registration system and delivery platform so establishing a training program even with short notice can generally be accommodated. Coordinating in person training still requires substantial lead time (2 months is a typical minimum) so travel arrangements can be made and marketing efforts can be successful. PART IV – CLAIMS At no time in the last ten (10) years has ATA been assessed or paid liquidated damages after completion of a project under a contract with a public owner or any other owner. Submitted by Altitude Training Associates, LLC 10 Request for Qualifications (RFQ) Construction Site Stormwater Management Training PART V – REFERENCES Project 1 – Temporary Control Measure Field Academy for the City of Colorado Springs 2018 and 2019 (no 2020 classes due to COVID). This is the same class as BMP 102 BMP Field Academy. The City has established a permanent field academy and ATA is the only approved training provider.

Reference Group Activity Description and Map Submitted by Altitude Training Associates, LLC 48 SWPPP Administrator Certification Program Selecting BMP’s The main emphasis of this exercise is the selection of BMPs based on pollutants. A drawing of the proposed project site has been provided. Within your group, evaluate the site conditions and determine possible BMPs for erosion and sediment control and non-sediment pollutant sources such as concrete wash out. For this exercise, you will need to provide the following: 1. Phases of construction (you can do this different ways but it must be detailed) 2. Anticipated pollutants at each phase of construction 3. BMP(s) planned to be implemented at each phase of construction for each pollutant Notes on the Condominium project: This project is residential construction. Multiple condominiums and a club house are to be constructed. The sidewalk on the north end of the property near Holton Creek is to be removed. The project is planned for 18 months beginning in September. There is approximately 50 acres of run-on entering the site from the southern drainage delineated on the map. No flow calculations are necessary. This is only a rough exercise in BMP selection. Holton Creek will be flowing at approximately 3 CFS in September with a fairly shallow base flow. The construction boundary and area of disturbance for the site is 3.8 acres. Existing site vegetation, visible from the aerial photo, is native grass with some trees along the creek and scrub oak on the hillside. The proposed storm drains for the site will be two combination inlets (grate and curb opening) with two, 24” pipes discharging into the creek. These storm drains are designed for the on-site drainage area only. There are no asphalt or concrete batch plants for the site. There is no 100-year flood plain determined for the site.
