Dear Selection Committee Members: Kelly, Collins & Gentry, Inc. - KCG looks forward to the opportunity of serving you with our expertise, experience and desires to do the best job for you and we respectfully request short-list consideration for this contract. We attended the pre-advertisement information meeting held on January 15, 2015 and met your PM, Mr. Paul Satchfield, and the two other TRC members (as well as other FTE staff). Our goal is to develop a long term partnership with FTE - by providing the highest quality deliverables in accordance with the schedules and budgets of the contract. We have selected our TEAM members based on their proven track record and ability to implement innovative concepts and think outside of the box when unique issues are encountered for which no standard index or specification exists as well as our other past experiences working together. We are capable of performing any and all of the anticipated work under this contract including operational improvements, safety enhancements and development of ERCAR s, routine resurfacing projects, interchange improvements, etc. Our goal is to minimize Turnpike oversight through effective communication and excellent performance. Commitments: KCG and our TEAM members have a vast amount of experience working on Districtwide Contracts for various Department districts and local municipalities. KCG proposes only to utilize staff who have a proven track record of working on Districtwide Miscellaneous Contracts and providing exceptional customer service. We are confident that the TEAM summarized in this letter will exceed the expectations of the FTE. None of the proposed staff in this letter will be assigned to projects that would impact our ability to meet key dates to be identified in each of the task assignment schedules.

375-030-22 11/14 Page 2 KCG knows the importance of maintaining project schedules and takes a proactive approach in establishing realistic milestones at the onset of each assignment. We are capable of fast-tracking projects if the need arises and have proven this commitment by completing a number of extremely aggressive second round ARRA Stimulus Projects under a continuing services contract for Osceola County. KCG will submit for approval all project deliverables prior to the dates identified in the schedule. According to the project advertisement, Work Type 3.3 for Controlled Access Highway design has been identified as an Under-Utilized Work Group. KCG is one of a few non-dbe SBE firms qualified in 3.3 and selection of our TEAM will aid the Department in addressing the 3 non-dbe small-business aspiration goal. Our TEAM also includes The Heimburg Group (THG) for which we are committed to utilizing to meet the Department s aspiration goal of 10 DBE usage. It should be noted that the selection of our sub-consultants was not solely based on the firms SBE or DBE status but also their past performance and working relation with KCG. Project Quality Control Plan (PQCP): KCG s PQCP complies with all of the requirements outlined in Chapter 18 of the Turnpike Plans Preparation and Practice Handbook (TPPPH). Our Quality Control Officer (QCO) and Responsible Professional Reviewers (RPR) s will not be involved in the production of deliverables. Responsible Professionals (RP) s will perform intermediate production reviews during the development of deliverables and both the RP and Lead Professional (LP) will certify to the PM that a project deliverable is ready for quality control review. Mr. Michael Enot, P.E, has over thirty years of experience and has served as a QCO on past Turnpike projects. He has a diverse background in construction and design having worked for the Department, County government, general contractors and private consultants making him the ideal person to perform an independent peer review of project deliverables. Proven Track Record on Similar Projects: KCG and its partners have completed numerous miscellaneous design projects for other clients including FDOT Districts. KCG has learned that we must identify the true character of the work required on any given task assignment prior to the negotiation of fee and setting schedule milestones. We believe the best way to determine if a prospective consultant has a proven track record of performance is to contact the client PM s who oversaw our contracts. Mr. John Denninghoff, P.E. is currently overseeing our Continuing Engineering Services Contract for Brevard County and can be reached at 321-617-7202. Mr. Christopher Dabson, P.E. was a PM on one of our more recent task order assignments for District 5 - Districtwide Misc. 88 and our SR 400 Braided Ramp (conventional design/bid/build) project and can be reached at 386-943-5659. Our PM, Quality Assurance Officer (QAO), QCO, RPR s and most of our RP s and LP s are currently working on or have previous Turnpike work experience; thereby minimizing the learning curve or potential for miscommunication associated with hiring individuals with no Turnpike experience. Project Management: Mr. Steve Kreidt, PE, has over 30 years experience and has served as the Engineer of Record (EOR) on several major widening and resurfacing projects including interstate and expressway work. He served as the PM on several Miscellaneous / Minor Design Contracts for FDOT, Brevard County, Osceola County, City of Kissimmee and the City of Winter Park. His extensive experience managing multi-disciplined teams will be a valuable asset on this contract. The combination of his project management and technical capabilities provides the impetus for him to develop innovative solutions to unique project issues that are not readily addressed in the design standards or specifications. Mr. Kreidt challenges his employees to use outside the box thinking. He is currently working with District 5 on FPID 424217-1, SR 414 from SR 400 to Maitland Avenue, to implement the use of a unique real-estate exchange transaction to eliminate right of way costs to the Department. He has a proven track record of resolving unique project issues. Project Approach: We will adhere to all procedures and permits for working within the Turnpike ROW and will assure all personnel know the proper procedures for accessing FTE property and conducting field reviews in a safe and non-obstructive manner. Any coordination needed with sub-consultant TEAM members will appear seamless to the Turnpike. Our TEAM is committed to designing to - or under budget. We will review the construction budget for assignments during the preparation of the Scope of Services (SOS) and update it at project milestones. Throughout the design process, we will document our reviews and design decisions. Upon receiving a task notification from the PM, we will review all of the information made available to us as well as pull together other available data to develop a SOS that is inclusive of the work and identify innovative cost and time saving concepts for consideration. Our TEAM will hold a zero percent review meeting to discuss the TEAM s understanding, findings and observations; thereby, allowing us to verify that the proposed SOS and anticipated man-hours are representative of implementing the conceptual design. We will also clarify the scope of services that need to be prepared to facilitate whether a proposed innovative concept (optional services) is viable. The intent of including an innovative concept is to provide an overall cost savings to the Turnpike while not impacting the schedule. Project Issues, Objectives and Challenges: Whether milling and resurfacing, improving ramp or intersection geometry, drainage improvements, or other safety enhancements, signing, signalization or lighting, we know that utilities can be impacted. We have extensive experience guiding projects through utility issues. Permitting can also be a challenge. KCG has extensive experience permitting design projects through the various regulatory agencies. Many times, these assignments are safety related and will not

375-030-22 11/14 Page 3 require a permit - as long as we meet certain regulatory conditions. We will work closely with your drainage and permitting staff to ensure that these conditions and requirements are met. We have the experienced staff capable of preparing and processing the permits and exemption determinations efficiently as needed. Project TEAM: KCG strives to provide quality design, innovation, cost efficiency and client responsiveness. We understand the variety of possible assignments under this contract as well as the need to be able to prepare design solutions for multiple assignments. Based on our discussions with FTE staff, public comments made at the recent FDOT - FICE meeting on January 22, 2015, in conjunction with our TEAM s proven experience to provide services throughout the State from a central location, we believe that a single consultant can provide all of the services for an individual work group. Regardless of who performs the work, Mr. Michael Enot, P.E. will perform the Quality Control Review and Mr. Scott Gentry, P.E. will perform the Quality Assurance Review. Controlled Access Highway Design (3.3) and Signing, Pavement marking & Channelization (7.1) efforts will be performed by KCG and THG. KCG employs three senior designers, Alfredo Giraud, Roy Monk, P.E. and Hector Bustillo, who can serve as the LP for any task assignment. Mr. Kreidt will serve as the EOR and RP on any work performed by these senior designers except for projects that are primarily drainage related for which Mr. Robert Butterfield, P.E. will serve as the EOR and RP.
