technicians capable of meeting the terms of the contract without the assistance of subconsultants. Our
project management philosophy for the Development Review Term Contract is coordination between
the City and TD&H in the early stages of a review project to outline tasks and develop a comprehensive

outcomes. The following key personnel will lead the TD&H team throughout the project.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The TD&H Team understands the services the City of Bozeman is requesting as a part of the
Development Review Term Contract. We are anticipating providing staff for 8-20 hours per week to
review development applications submitted to the City of Bozeman. Our team will review projects for
conformance with local and state codes and statutes and develop staff reports with recommendations
and conditions of approval for each development based on the code review and interpretation.
Additionally, we understand we will need to review technical planning and engineering reports,
specifications and drawings and provide comments in a timely manner. Team members will attend
Development Review Committee meetings at the City as necessary for the project. Our out of town
team members will be available via teleconference or travel to Bozeman if needed to attend the
meetings. Our team anticipates working closely with City of Bozeman planning and engineering
staff to ensure an effective review process that meets the needs of the City.
An advantage the TD&H Team can bring to the contract is their experience working for both private
and public entities. Our work in the public sector has given us the hands-on understanding of
governmental processes and how these processes are used to create a fair method to allow development,
while protecting citizens of the community. Their work with private developers has provided the
Q opportunity to understand the importance of timing and budgets. Putting our knowledge of both
„�.j sides together will help facilitate timely,comprehensive project review.

TEAM LOCATION, CAPACITY & COORDINATION
Workload is dynamic and constantly changing as projects are completed and others started. We
hold weekly staff meetings to monitor progress on each ongoing and upcoming project (held each
Friday morning from 7:30 to 8:30 am) and evaluate available resources. These meetings allow the
project managers and management staff to discuss and address any critical issues that may affect
their project schedules and related manpower needs.
This also allows us to accept or decline new work depending on whether adequate resources are
available to meet client schedules and expectations. With any design schedule, miscalculation of
staffing requirements could jeopardize the design team's ability to meet the needs and requirements
of the Client. Our solution is to provide the City of Bozeman with a team of professionals who are
all committed to completing this contract in a way that not only meets the needs and requirements of
the City,but hopefully exceeds them. TD&H Engineering has available staff and resources and can
unequivocally commit the necessary resources to make the City of Bozeman and the Development
Review Term Contract as a top priority.
David Crawford will be the project manager and local contact for the contract period. Mr. Crawford M
is located in Bozeman and has 25-30% of his time available for this project. He will be available in- r)
person to attend any coordination or Development Review meetings that arise during the contract
period. Mr. Crawford will coordinate the overall project management and be the main point of e--F-
contact between the City and TD&H. He will disseminate work to the other team members as it is
assigned to TD&H. This does not prohibit other members of the team from coordinating with the l J
City. It simply allows for a strong team leader and we find helps lessen confusion in the process.
Ms. Cooper will oversee review of the planning portions of the contract. Jana Cooper is currently
working at 50% of her capacity and anticipates that this contract will require approximately 15-25%
of her time. She has the immediate capacity to take on additional projects.
Ms. Cooper is located in Great Falls, Montana, which is approximately three hours from Bozeman.
In order to keep contract costs minimized, the team anticipates that she will be available via
teleconference, Skype, GoTo Meeting or similar format for the majority of project meetings. If in-
person meeting attendance is required,Ms.Cooper will snake herself available,as necessary,to travel
to Bozeman. Our Bozeman staff will be available as the City of Bozeman needs them and will work e�
with Ms. Cooper to complete any or all projects from the City.
Kyle Scarr is currently working at 65% of his capacity and anticipates this contract will require
approximately 10% of his time. He has the availability to ensure a high quality product and that
project deadlines are met.
Mr. Crawford, Ms. Cooper & Mr. Scarr, have successfully completed a number of projects together
and have a seamless coordination process between the two offices. TD&H Engineering offers an
instant messaging system available for employees in any office to easily communicate and the team
anticipates weekly coordination calls for any projects they are asked to review by the City of Bozeman.
The TD&H Team anticipates working with the City of Bozeman to develop reasonable fees to eet
the needs of the City to complete the review tasks outlined in the RFP.
