Exhibit A – Page 1 of 1
EXHIBIT A, STATEMENT OF WORK
This project is intended to reconstruct the interchange of US-285 and South Broadway in Englewood, CO. The
new interchange will include a wider cross-section on South Broadway to facilitate additional or improved
bicycle and pedestrian mobility through the Broadway corridor. The Broadway Bridge will also be lengthened
to accommodate an additional lane in each direction on US-285, thereby, eliminating a critical bottleneck on the
major East-West corridor. To further improve mobility on US-285, this project will investigate access
modifications to US-285 from multiple nearby cross-streets.
This project will involve design and construction related to bridges, arterial roadways, ROW acquisition,
retaining walls, traffic signals, grade changes, access modification, water main relocation, storm sewers, sanitary
sewers, landscaping, multi-use paths, bike lanes, and sidewalks. The design phase will include studies and
analysis of alternative interchange designs.
The scope for this project will include work in the phases of Project Development, Project Design, and Project
Construction. The City of Englewood is anticipating utilizing the Design-Bid-Build project delivery method,
but intends to leave the option of bringing in a Construction Manager/General Contractor at 30% plan
completion. The primary reason for bringing in a CM/GC would be to better address traffic control and staging
concerns for both US-285 and South Broadway during the design phase.

Exhibit C – Page 2 of 2
B. Matching Funds
The matching ratio for the federal participating funds for this Work is 80% federal-aid funds to 11.6% Local
Agency funds to 8.4% State funds, it being understood that such ratio applies only to the $9,500,000.00 that is
eligible for federal participation, it being further understood that all non -participating costs are borne by the
Local Agency at 100%. If the total participating cost of performance of the Work exceeds $9,500,000.00, and
additional federal funds are made available for the Work, the Local Agency shall pay 11.6% of all such costs
eligible for federal participation and 100% of all non -participating costs; if additional federal funds are not
made available, the Local Agency shall pay all such excess costs. If the total participating cost of performance

decreased in accordance with the funding ratio described herein.
C. Maximum Amount Payable
The maximum amount payable to the Local Agency under this Agreement shall be $8,400,000.00 (For CDOT

amount is increased by an appropriate written modification to this Agreement executed before any increased
cost is incurred. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that the total cost of the Work stated
hereinbefore is the best estimate available, based on the design data as approved at the time of execution of this
Agreement, and that such cost is subject to revisions (in accord with the procedure in the previous sentence )
agreeable to the parties prior to bid and award.
The maximum amount payable shall be reduced without amendment when the actual amount of the Local
Agency’s awarded contract is less than the budgeted total of the federal participating funds and the Local
Agency matching funds. The maximum amount payable shall be reduced through the execution of an Option
Letter as described in Section 7. E. of this contract.
D. Single Audit Act Amendment

sources defined as federal financial assistance for Single Audit Act Amendment purposes shall comply with
the audit requirements of 2 CFR part 200, subpart F (Audit Requirements) see also, 49 C.F.R. 18.20 through
18.26. The Single Audit Act Amendment requirements applicable to the Local Agency receiving federal funds
are as follows:

Exhibit H - Page 1 of 2
EXHIBIT H, LOCAL AGENCY PROCEDURES FOR CONSULTANT SERVICES
Title 23 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 172 applies to a federally funded Local Agency project agreement
administered by CDOT that involves professional consultant services. 23 CFR 172.1 states “The policies and
procedures involve federally funded contracts for engineering and design related services for projects subject to the
provisions of 23 U.S.C. 112(a) and are issued to ensure that a qualified consultant is obtained through an equitable
selection process, that prescribed work is properly accomplished in a timely manner, and at fair and reasonable cost”
and according to 23 CFR 172.5 “Price shall not be used as a factor in the analysis and selection phase.” Therefore,
local agencies must comply with these CFR requirements when obtaining professional c onsultant services under a
federally funded consultant contract administered by CDOT.
CDOT has formulated its procedures in Procedural Directive (P.D.) 400.1 and the related operations guidebook titled
"Obtaining Professional Consultant Services". This directive and guidebook incorporate requirements from both
Federal and State regulations, i.e., 23 CFR 172 and CRS §24-30-1401 et seq. Copies of the directive and the guidebook
may be obtained upon request from CDOT's Agreements and Consultant Management Unit . [Local agencies should
have their own written procedures on file for each method of procurement that addresses the items in 23 CFR 172].
Because the procedures and laws described in the Procedural Directive and the guidebook are quite lengthy, the
subsequent steps serve as a short-hand guide to CDOT procedures that a Local Agency must follow in obtaining
professional consultant services. This guidance follows the format of 23 CFR 172. The steps are:
1. The contracting Local Agency shall document the need for obtaining professional services.
2. Prior to solicitation for consultant services, the contracting Local Agency shall develop a detailed scope of
work and a list of evaluation factors and their relative importance. The evaluation factors are those identified
in C.R.S. 24-30-1403. Also, a detailed cost estimate should be prepared for use during negotiations.
3. The contracting agency must advertise for contracts in conformity with the requirements of C.R.S. 24 -30-
1405. The public notice period, when such notice is required, is a minimum of 15 days prior to the selection of
the three most qualified firms and the advertising should be done in one or more daily newspapers of general
circulation.
4. The Local Agency shall not advertise any federal aid contract without prior review by the CDOT Regional
Civil Rights Office (RCRO) to determine whether the contract shall be subject to a DBE contract goal. If the
RCRO determines a goal is necessary, then the Local Agency shall include the goal and the applicable
provisions within the advertisement. The Local Agency shall not award a contract to any Contractor or
Consultant without the confirmation by the CDOT Civil Rights and Business Resource Center that the
Contractor or Consultant has demonstrated good faith efforts. The Local Agency shall work with the CDOT
RCRO to ensure compliance with the established terms during the performance of the contract.
5. The Local Agency shall require that all contractors pay subcontractors for satisfactory performance of work
no later than 30 days after the receipt of payment for that work from the contractor. For construction projects,
this tiem period shall be reduced to seven days in accordance with Colorado Revised Statute 24-91-103(2). If
the Local Agency withholds retainage from contractors and/or allows contractors to withhold retainage fr om
subcontractors, such retainage provisions must comply with 49 CFR 26.29.
6. Payments to all Subconsultants shall be made within thirty days of receipt of payment from [the Local
Agency] or no later than ninety days from the date of the submission of a complete invoice from the
Subconsultant, whichever occurs first. If the Consultant has good cause to dispute an amount invoiced by a
Subconsultant, the Consultant shall notify [the Local Agency] no later than the required date for payment. Such
notification shall include the amount disputed and justification for the withholding. The Consultant shall
maintain records of payment that show amounts paid to all Subconsultants. Good cause does not include the
Consultant’s failure to submit an invoice to the Local Agency or to deposit payments made.
7. The analysis and selection of the consultants shall be done in accordance with CRS §24-30-1403. This
section of the regulation identifies the criteria to be used in the evaluation of CDOT pre-qualified prime
consultants and their team. It also shows which criteria are used to short-list and to make a final selection.
The short-list is based on the following evaluation factors:
a. Qualifications,
DocuSign Envelope ID: C64C2267-1875-4A57-A5C7-3797A9612F6E
Exhibit H - Page 2 of 2
b. Approach to the Work,
c. Ability to furnish professional services.
d. Anticipated design concepts, and
e. Alternative methods of approach for furnishing the professional services.
Evaluation factors for final selection are the consultant's:
a. Abilities of their personnel,
b. Past performance,
c. Willingness to meet the time and budget requirement,
d. Location,
e. Current and projected work load,
f. Volume of previously awarded contracts, and
g. Involvement of minority consultants.
8. Once a consultant is selected, the Local Agency enters into negotiations with the consultant to obtain a fair
and reasonable price for the anticipated work. Pre-negotiation audits are prepared for contracts expected to be
greater than $50,000. Federal reimbursements for costs are limited to those costs allowable under the cost
principles of 48 CFR 31. Fixed fees (profit) are determined with consideration given to size, complexit y,
duration, and degree of risk involved in the work. Profit is in the range of six to 15 percent of the total direct
and indirect costs.
9. A qualified Local Agency employee shall be responsible and in charge of the Work to ensure that the work
being pursued is complete, accurate, and consistent with the terms, conditions, and specifications of the
contract. At the end of Work, the Local Agency prepares a performance evaluation (a CDOT form is available)
on the consultant.
CRS §§24-30-1401 THROUGH 24-30-1408, 23 CFR PART 172, AND P.D. 400.1, PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
DETAILS FOR COMPLYING WITH THE PRECEEDING EIGHT (8) STEPS.
