In accordance with the Town's Request for Proposal, we have developed the below proposed pricing structure for the review of development proposals, review of water, wastewater, storm water management, environmental concerns, capital project estimating, and various other municipal engineering services. The RFP states that the Town is seeking a price for engineering services to be provided on this contract. Given projects are expected to be assigned on a task-order basis, we propose to work under an annual retainer, payable monthly, and perform third-party reviews chargeable to outside parties on land-use applications. Based on these requirements, we have developed and hereby propose the following cost structure. Annual Retainer for Planning Board Support Obligations and coordination activities under our contract agreement with the Town will be defined on a task-order basis throughout the year in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of our Master Services Agreement* with the Town. For the purposes of this proposal, we are assuming 12 hours per week of our time will be required as the base level of support to review land-use applications and other technical submittals to the Planning Board, to prepare technical memorandums, and to attend meetings. In order to get started, Woodard & Curran proposes an initial retainer in the amount of $20,000. We will track our time and advise the Town once we are within $5,000 of our retainer amount, as necessary. This equates to 48 hours per month or 576 hours in total per year. Any time expended beyond this threshold will be billed in accordance with the attached rate schedule. *If the Town chooses to enter into an agreement with us, Woodard & Curran will use a Master Services Agreement, which will clearly outline Terms and Conditions and simplify the authorization of any additional work requests on atask-order basis. ht~~ '~ ~ ~.ii~ ~ -G~'~,~ ~iy- ~6 0 -~~~ ~ %/ `~~,., -/v~13' L~/~? v~n1 We thank you for your consideration and look forward to the opportunity to support the Town's Planning Board.

We believe our engineering staff, which is supported by considerable firmwide resources, will prove to be an asset to the Town in this capacity. In addition to our extensive corporate qualifications, which we detail herein, Woodard & Curran offers the Town an impressive local .team that blends senior-level expertise with an engineering staff that is highly experienced with supporting local municipal planning boards. Furthermore, while our New York office is only 50 miles from Town Hall, we have senior staff and project engineers who conveniently reside in the nearby towns of Poughquag and North Salem. We have a considerable amount of experience supporting local municipal boards, including Planning Boards. Over the years, we have worked with a number of planners, including Frederick P. Clark Associates, whose office in Rye is located less than 10 miles from our office and who we have worked with on a routine basis in the Town of Pound Ridge. Woodard & Curran's experience has been that Planning Board support essentially includes Escrow and Non-Escrow work. The Escrow work is usually related to Planning Board submittals from developers and private residences, whereas Non-Escrow work is more related to specific engineering assignments for the Town. In terms of our plan for delivery, we propose Bob Wasp, PE, as the main point of contact for the Town. Bob will essentially manage the Escrow type work that is provided by the Planning Board and will attend Planning Board meetings. Bob is the former Commissioner of Public Works and Engineer for the TownNillage of Harrison and resides in Poughquag, New York. The Non-Escrow work will be managed by Hugh Greechan, PE. Hugh is the former Director of Engineering Design for the Westchester County Department of Public Works, former Engineer for the TownNillage of Harrison, and the former Manager of the Westchester Joint Water Works. Bob and Hugh will be supported by our local engineering staff that has worked with planning boards in Hudson Valley communities such as Somers, Pound Ridge, Ardsley, Larchmont, and Mamaroneck, as well as firmwide resources as needed. Our project team resumes are included in Section 4 of our proposal. As our clients will attest, Woodard & Curran is different in a very positive way -and in a way that will provide real benefits to the Town if we are fortunate enough to be selected. We believe we are the right choice for the following reasons: Town's Requirements Align Perfectly with Our Core Competencies - We are particularly excited about serving the Town of Wappinger because your needs are perfectly aligned with the core competencies of our firm, and in particular our local engineering staff. We regularly deliver civil engineering services related to stormwater engineering and compliance and site planning/development; GIS/GPS services to map municipal infrastructure; and general technical assistance to Town departments (Buildings, Planning, Engineering, Public Works, etc.). In addition, Woodard & Curran features a 200-person Operations and Maintenance division that operates nearly 50 water and wastewater treatment plants for municipalities throughout the country. And finally, we have a dedicated team of individuals that are focused on securing grants for our municipal clients. •_ ` We Deliver Award-Winning Design Projects - We have delivered several award-winning design projects over the last few years, particularly in the Hudson Valley. Woodard & Curran's efforts on the WOODARD redevelopment of Flint Park, located on the Long Island Sound in Larchmont, netted three separate &CURRAN awards: the Planning Achievement Award through the Westchester County Planning Federation Association, the American Sports Builders Association Project Award and the NYACEC Engineering Excellence Award. The project, which increased overall open space, incorporated many sustainable design features and involved design of walkways, a waterfront nature walk, a picnic area, parking, and both synthetic and natural grass athletic fields. Woodard & Curran's design work at V.E. Macy Park in Ardsley, which runs along the Saw Mill River, involved walking trails and athletic fields and also received a NYACEC Engineering Excellence Award. And our recent design work to upgrade SCADA systems for Westchester Joint Water Works received an NYACEC Engineering Excellence Award. Other recent accolades include a Gold Award for Engineering Excellence from the American Academy of Environmental Companies (ACEC) for redevelopment of sports and recreation facilities at Rye Country Day School; an ACEC Engineering Excellence Award for design of a new golf course in Pound Ridge and infrastructure assessment and mapping at SUNY Albany; and an ACEC Engineering Excellence Award (CT Chapter) and an American Sports Builders Association award for design of park facilities in the City of Stamford, CT. Leaders in MS4 Regulation Compliance -Over the last number of years, Woodard & Curran and the our engineering team have supported local municipalities in complying with the requirements of the NYSDEC MS4 permit, and have closely followed the formation of intermunicipal groups such as the Croton-Kensico Watershed Inter-municipal Coalition (CKWIC) and the East-of-Hudson Watershed Corporation (EOHWC). We are currently supporting EOHWC with a number of stormwater retrofit projects. We have implemented retrofit design and construction projects for our clients and have documented results to achieve NYSDEC credit for water quality improvement. Optimization of Available Funds - We understand the budgeting limitations under which municipalities operate, and we do everything we can to maximize use of the available Town funds by limiting our efforts and directing as much funding as possible towards construction. The pre-design phases -which would include close communication with the Town and regulators -are key to avoiding redesign issues, controlling budget spending, and expediting project implementation. It is critical, during the preliminary stages of an assignment, to use every dollar wisely and with purpose by defining all potential constraints, and our team has the experience and expertise necessary to do just that. OUR COMMITMENT The Town of Wappinger has our commitment to deliver technically sound and environmentally compliant solutions within budget and on-time. It is our belief that the best way to understand why the Town should select the Woodard & Curran team is to speak directly with our clients. Several of our project highlights, which are presented in Section 3 of our proposal, include client references and we encourage you to call them. It is imperative that the Town work with a team they can trust, and as our clients will attest, Woodard & Curran makes a full commitment to achieving success by establishing a partnership with our clients.

The end result is easy to use -meaning that the user can get to any piece of information in three steps or less by using pull down menus and buttons. Harnessing the Web for database management Web-based technology can be used to access and manipulate databases through standard Web browsers: This technology eliminates the need for clients to continually purchase and upgrade software to operate their data- bases, because the databases and the applications they reside in are accessed remotely. This means that clients need only access to the Internet and a Web browser to retrieve project information. The use of Web-based applications also enables multiple users at multiple locations to operate and utilize project databases. System use saves time and money Woodard & Curran's environmental information management systems make sense, save time, and manage data with accuracy, speed and efficiency. Data interpretation and reporting is automated such that data can be reviewed in far less time then with commercial methods. The power of having information read- ily available can streamline program operations and allow managers to spend time converting data into information as opposed to merely organizing multiple files. P214116 ~ TOWN OF WAPPINGER, NY ENGINEERING SERVICES ~ WOODARD & CURRAN EFFECTIVE ASSET MANAGEMENT: IT'S MORE THAN JUST A BUNCH OF TOOLS & TECHNIQUES Organizations have invested trillions of dollars in infrastructure to improve lives and create healthy environments. Many of these investments have not been supported by adequate maintenance, sustainable practices, and sound long-term capital plan- ning. Numerous assets have degraded unnecessarily or operate inefficiently, while others are replaced before the end of their useful lives, costing communities untold millions in lost value. Organizations have struggled with how to approach asset management. Where should they focus their efforts? What data should be collected? How do they bal- ance maintenance with rehabilitation and replacement work? What technologies are needed and how should they be implemented? People -The Keys to Success How employees collect, use, and communicate information about assets is critical. It is impossible to implement effective asset management without awell-developed plan for incorporating employees and understanding an organization's culture. Money - A Driving Force Funding is precious and budgets are tight. Organizations must be pre- pared to defend expenditures with an objective and understand- able methodology. Effective asset management helps prioritize investments and provides a defensible framework for capital and maintenance decisions. Practices -The Playbook for Doing Business Streamlining day-to-day 0&M practices is often a neglected or undervalued aspect of effective asset management, but it can be one of the most important. Organizations with efficient practices have lower life- cycle asset costs and lower 0&M expenditures for the same activities, compared with their peers. Data -Information is Power Turning data into useful information involves knowing how to effectively collect, store, and manage it. It also requires knowing how to select and use the vast array of information technologies that are available. Effective asset management controls information, preventing the common prob- lems of excess data collection, redundant storage, and inefficient access.

Remediation of Taylor Lane Site, Village of Mamaroneck, NY -The Taylor's lane site, located in the Village of Mamaroneck, was used as a munici- pal solid waste landfill prior to 1970. It is classified by the NYSDEC as an inactive Class 2 landfill. The eight-acre site has a number of environmental challenges ~~ l }±° .~ ~` ~: due to the complicated nature of the surface and groundwater hydrology. Woodard & Curran was hired to pre- pare and implement a Interim Remedial Measure Work Plan (IRMWP). The goal of the plan is to lower the leachate levels within the landfill by gravity drainage as much as possible and by pumping from a leachate recovery well. This well is specifically designed to draw leachate from levels while limiting the amount of ground water take up. Once collected, the leachate will be discharged into a sanitary sewer until such time that the final leachate management system is completed. The Village's overall goal is to reclaim this site for future recreational use. Chatsworth Water Main Emergency Rehabilitation, Village of Larchmont, NY -Faced with the imminent failure of a 16-inch diameter elevated pipe cross- ing over Interstate 95 and the Metro- North Railroad, and the high cost of con- ventional replacement methods for pipe replacement, the Village of Larchmont turned to Woodard & Curran for assis- tance. An expedited project approach was developed using slip-lining of the existing steel pipe with HDPE pipe and a temporary flow bypass, allowing for minimal site disruption, continued water supply service, and expedited approvals from the Thruway Authority and Metro- North. The slip-lining approach saved the Village approximately $1,000,000 over prior construction estimates.

In this role Woodard & Curran works closely with the Building Inspector and reports directly to the Chairman of the Planning Board to issue technical reports and memoranda, com- plete site inspections, and oversee field work required by the applicant's engineers in order to demonstrate the site conditions are compatible with the proposed design. The Village retained Woodard & Curran to serve in this capacity because of its expe- rience working with the frrm as part of the V.E. Macy Park project that Woodard & Curran completed within the Village on behalf of Westchester County as part of the County's Legacy Program. On this project, Woodard & Curran was able to demon- strate akeen ability to manage complex environmental challenges, which included contaminated soil management, closing dredge disposal areas, complex stormwater management while avoiding impact to the floodplain during the construction of four athletic fields on the site, and the associated grading and support facilities. Based on this experience, the Village asked Woodard & Curran to complete two third-party reviews for proposed residential site plans within the Village. The scope included reviewing the application and issuing technical comments to the Planning ~ Board for their use in reviewing the projects. The technical memoranda were pre- pared to identify the testing and configurations that are required to comply with local law, good engineering practice, and the Village's MS4 stormwater permit require- , ments, including SWPPP inspections. STORM AND SANITARY SEWER MAPPING UPDATES Woodard & Curran was retained by the Village of Ardsley to update municipal storm and sanitary sewer maps using historic mapping, GIS data and field inspections. The Village, which consists of approximately 1 square mile of area and a population of approximately 4,500 people, had mapping for its storm and sanitary sewer systems in hard-copy set. Base maps from the 1950s and 1960s formed the basis of the system mapping, with separate plans produced individually for system modification projects or extensions.

V.E. Macy Park Improvements and Development Westchester County, New York, engaged Woodard & Curran for. its planned $4-mil- lion redevelopment of Macy Park, a 10-acre, county-owned and operated facility. Originally commissioned in 1926, VE Macy Park is divided into three distinct areas with slightly different atmospheres. One part functioned as a local park with ball- fields; which was unusable for use for lengthy periods of time before because of poor drainage from over-compacted, low permeability soils, and proximity to the Saw Mill River. To increase the usability of the park, the County turned to Woodard & Curran to solve the complex water management, soil erosion, and sediment control issues. i~,„ Woodard & Curran served as the lead engineering consultant for the project, which involved planning, permitting, design and construction administration services. Woodard & Curran provided all designs for the fields, site drainage, grading, traffic/ Vii. pedestrian flow, and increased flood plain storage capacity for all events, including the 100-year flood level. The project specifically involved: • planning, permitting, and design services for rehabilitating two existing grass turf ballfields along the Saw Mill River, constructing two new grass turf soccer fields, and constructing walkways; • permitting and design for the evaluation of the reuse of sediment and dredge spoils for ballfield construction; • site investigations to characterize subsurface conditions, including soils, groundwater conditions; • construction of four grass turf ballfields; • improvements to infrastructure including roads, parking facilities, lighting, walkways, and landscaping; • site amenities such as seating and fencing; • stormwater management and water quality improvements; and • extensive flood analysis and mitigation measures. Ladson Park Maintenance Facility The Lasdon Park project included a proposed Westchester County Department of '~ ~ Public Works maintenance building on County property that would include a bath- ' room and a sink, and as such required the design and permitting of a Subsurface Sewage Treatment System (SSTs). The installation of the SSTs necessitates per- `. miffing with the Westchester County Department of Health and, through delegation authority, the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP). The project cost was $250,000. P214116 ~ TOWN OF WAPPINGER, NY ENGINEERING SERVICES ~ WOODARD & CURRAN The $4 million Macy Park redevelopment project created a safer park more actively used by a broad spectrum of the population. zY and breeding habitat, increased sedimentation, loss of intertidal areas and native vegetation, and expansion of invasive common reed have resulted. The new tidal gate system, which is comprised of motorized, stainless steel slide gates, is controlled automatically by a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. The SCADA system receives signals from ultrasonic level trans- mitters that constantly monitor the water level on either side the gates. The SCADA system is programmed to operate the gates based on specified minimum and maxi- mum water levels within the lake and the actual water level within the Long Island Sound. These levels can be monitored remotely as the water level data is transmit- ted to a website. The new gate system allows for safer, more efficient operation, and more control of the flows in and out of the lake. Preliminary studies have shown that the new system has potential for significant ecological improvements within the lake. The subsequent phase to the tidal gate replacement was the design for the Aquatic Habitat Restoration along 1,600 linear feet of lake shoreline. The erratic tidal fluctua- tions were not naturally conducive to allow for a significant amount of tidal salt marsh to be created. As a result of increased tidal fluctuation, control of the minimum and maximum water levels, and reshaping of the shoreline, approximately 4 acres of tidal wetland, grassland, and upland planting areas were created. This new system will create asemi-diurnal cycling of nutrients and oxygen, control and reduce stands of invasive plant species, create colonization for native low and high marsh vegetation, improve areas for fish inhabitance, and maintain and enhance feeding habitat for div- ing and migratory fowl The Manursing Lake project was awarded an Engineering Excellence Award 2011 by ACEC NY, and Woodard & Curran recently participated in a ribbon cutting ceremony with the County Executive and various County Departments including WCDPW and Westchester County Department of Planning. w ~..

This new pumping station will allow existing deteriorated mains to be taken out of service and provide: for more efficient and effective collection system operations. Our effort includes site layout, building, wet well, pumping system, and electrical and controls design. In addition, the Village tasked Woodard & Curran to assist their in-house engineering department with technical reviews of proposed water system modifications associat- ed with the redevelopment of a college campus site into a continuing care retirement community. To accommodate the redevelopment, the Village's existing High Service water tank and booster station will need,to be replaced with an expanded pumping station to meet the increased water demand requirements. Additional water mains will be added, providing increased redundancy and supply capacity. These proposed modifications have been the subject of review and coordination between the Village, the project's sponsors, and the project's consulting engineers. Woodard & Curran is thus focused on confirming that the proposed designs will be acceptable to the Village, be compliant with applicable health code requirements, provide adequate service to the Village's residents, and be compatible with current and future water s; system improvements and plans. Our reviews focused on verifying that the impacts of the proposed system modifications are acceptable to the Village and include: • Pumping station equipment selection and layout; • Pressure zone interconnection details; • Communications and controls systems; • Transition process between current and future modes of system operation; and • Impacts to Village operations As the project advances into the construction phase, Woodard & Curran continues to provide review and assessment of project progress, including periodic construction reviews to provide additional assurance to fhe Village that the project is progressing appropriately and in accordance with the design.

The three sites include: • Disbrow Park Field, a natural grass baseball field with two diamonds, one for youth baseball/softball and one for high school baseball • Recreation Park, amulti-sport natural grass field hosting both rectangle sports (soccer/lacrosse/field hockey) and softball (adult and youth) • Nursery Field, amulti-sport rectangular natural grass field hosting both soccer and lacrosse. It is adjacent to a wetland area and a historic building Our feasibility study included the development of preliminary concept designs, respective cost estimates and potential environmental impact concerns and regula- toryissues associated with the conversion of the natural grass fields to synthetic turf. Key to this effort was understanding the technical and environmental constraints associated with proposed field conversions, and that, based on those constraints, there may be other potential improvement options such as an improved natural grass field with an enhanced drainage system, which may be more feasible to reduce play downtime due to weather conditions. Our study provided recommendations and fea- sible options that has allowed the City to proceed accordingly.

The new, state-of-the-art surface water treatment facility is designed for 16 MGD and went on line in April 2007, replacing an antiquated conventional filtration facility that had been in service since 1939. The facility is staffed 24/7 by Woodard & Curran under an emergency operations agreement due to staffing challenges encountered by the city. Woodard & Curran employs 5 full time licensed operators who are sup- ported by our local team of technical support specialists and engineers. The source water for Lawrence is the Merrimack River from which the water enters the treatment process after passing through traveling screen units. The screen units are cleaned intermittently via a spray wash system. The water enters a wet well where 4 raw water pumps are located. Only 3 of the pumps are utilized and they consist of (2) constant speed pumps at 8400 gpm each and (1) variable speed unit also rated for 8400 gpm. The water then flows through a mag meter allowing for flow paced chemical injection where it then travels to a static mixer located in an injection vault. Here, the raw water is injected with apre-oxidant (either hypochlorite or chlorine dioxide), potassium hydroxide for pH control and aluminum sulfate for primary coagulation. The water is then evenly split by two fixed weirs where polymer is injected for coagulation aid. Pre-hypochlorite is typically dosed at 0.4 mg/I and chlorine dioxide is to be dosed at 0.8 mg/I when in use.

Based on our experience practicing throughout New York and the northeast on similar assign- ments, as well as our keen understanding of the types of engineering services that the Town seeks under this contract, we believe that the experience, knowledge and technical expertise of our team strongly aligns with the Town's needs. Our Approach ~, Providing engineering support to municipal planning boards is a core service of our firm. As a result we have developed a proven approach to delivering work products that will allow us to react quickly to the needs of the Town and do so in a way that reflects the values and goals of the community leadership. ~ Understanding & Experience ~ As supporting New York and other state municipalities is core to our business, we have an in-depth understanding of the challenges our clients face and assist them to overcome these challenges every day. These opportunities have afforded us a deep understanding of the regulatory framework for development affecting both private and public projects (including housing), State and Federal permitting requirements, grant administration and FEMA coordination. This understanding will be relied upon when working with the Town. Our experience, which is detailed in Section 3 of this proposal, includes providing: • Town Engineering to the Town of Somers, Town of Pound Ridge, Village of Larchmont, Village of Ardsley, and other New York municipalities; • Several engineering design tasks for the County of Westchester, New York, including site/civil and stormwater design, environmental permitting, and coastal planning and design • stormwater retrofit design for the East of Hudson Watershed Corporation at various Putnam County locations, and • Water and wastewater services for multiple New York municipalities/utilities including Westchester Joint Water Works, the Village of Briarcliff Manor, and the Town of Greenburgh, to name a few.

We have provided a brief cross section of some of these assignments in Section 3 of this proposal; others available upon request. Regardless of the project, the following "' activities will be completed once the Town has identified a project need: Scoping Meeting. Bob Wasp, PE and/or Hugh Greechan, PE, together with the Project Officer, Anthony Catalano, PE, BCEE, will meet with the Town representa- ~. tives to gather background information and discuss the scope of the project. This meeting is at no cost to the Town. `` Proposal. Once the scope is understood, our management team will work with iden- ~` tify a delivery team that is best suited to deliver the assignment, and then work with that team to develop a detailed scope, schedule and cost. The proposal will identify x the milestones and standards identified in the scoping meeting, and will include a ~ firm not-to-exceed fee estimate along with the detailed assumptions that were used to develop the fee for review and approval of the Town. In the event attendance at public meetings is required to present the project concept or procure funding from the Town Council or others, Woodard & Curran will support that effort at no additional cost to the Town. Delivery. One of the key aspects to ensure consistent delivery of assignments, which the Town has entrusted us to deliver, is to have our management team lead every delivery effort. Through this process, the Town can always remain confident that the product will be delivered to the standards and in the way agreed upon because the same individual will manage the project, ensure quality assurance and quality controls are completed, and review the final product prior to delivery to the Town. This consistent approach is why our clients re-contract with us year after year on our municipal engineering work. Project Schedule Control. In addition to having hundreds of fully qualified profes- sionals, Woodard & Curran utilizes management systems that allow quick response to changing project needs. Project managers are trained and experienced in Microsoft Project -the software that we use to compile resources, at each level ~` and discipline by manhour, that are necessary weekly to maintain the required rate of progress on each subtask to meet fixed milestones, identify critical paths, and provide an early warning if resources are inadequate for any subtask.
