The following is Coffman's understanding of your project and how we will approach it based on the scope of services outlined in the RFQ. We have also included how our team will manage the work during COVID-19 related restrictions and during construction activities, as well as, an outline of our
proposed schedule of activities:
Project Understanding
Our understanding is that the goal of this project is to provide complete civil engineering services for two development areas of Kitsap County’s Port Gamble Heritage Park. The park covers nearly 3500 acres with over 65 miles of trails and includes conservation areas, water access, and a variety of recreation areas.
The project locations are at the north end of the park near the town of Port Gamble and the south end of the park about halfway between Port Gamble and Poulsbo off of SR-307. Each location requires a new parking lot and supporting design features specific to the park function they will serve. Both locations will have their own functional desires, design challenges, and considerations.
For the first site location at the north end, the County envisions new facilities for the popular mountain bike ride park and multi-use trails. The new facility will consist of a highly functioning parking lot for approximately 75 vehicles, access road, and installation of prefabricated restroom facilities. The access road will include a non-motorized element to serve vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, and equestrians, as needed, and will be positioned within an easement granted by Rayonier. Utility planning is also a vital piece for this location. Our team will work closely with Kitsap County to determine the best method of water supply and sewage disposal for the new restroom facility.
The second project location is at the south end of the park at the Stottlemeyer Trailhead. This location will require 25 parking stalls. Signage for user wayfinding will be key at this location as it will include a link to the Sound to Olympics Trail.
Other features that will also be considered for both locations are the needs for
adhering to the park’s master plan, tree preservation, park user connections to recreational trails, low impact development, and pedestrian and vehicle safety.
We also understand that Port Gamble Heritage Park has a wide variety of groups that take interest in the park such as neighbors, recreational users, Tribes, and conversationalists. We will engage with these groups, as needed to gain consensus and coordinate project elements with their needs and goals.
Schedule
After reviewing the schedule proposed by the county, we noticed the timeframe of the design does not allow for the complete reviews of conceptual plans, 30%, 60%, and 90% progress sets, as we would typically suggest. Your input is critical to the project.
We have proposed a thorough conceptual phase to allow the County and stakeholders an opportunity to participate and influence the project from its inception. We also recommend advancing directly to the design to a 60% completeness and issue the package to your team to review while we continue with completing the design package to submit for permits (90%), so we can keep the schedule on track. The 100% issue set will include all permit review comments addressed. We assume the topographic survey will be complete and available at the project kickoff and that the geotechnical information will be available by 90% complete for permit submittal. Below we describe the steps of this process.
PROJECT APPROACH
Project Approach
To efficiently measure progress and effort, we are proposing to manage the project by separating the it into two packages: The MTB Ride Park development, bathroom, and parking area at the north end of the park; and The Stottlemeyer Trailhead Development including parking and signage. For consistency and efficiency, each package will be managed by a single project manager, Allison Hazen, and have the same lead engineer, Wendy McHugh.
This will avoid duplicated effort and capture the benefits of a comprehensive evaluation.
We have used this approach effectively on several past projects of similar size and scope.
We elaborate more on the specific
approaches and challenges for each step in the following pages. The essential elements of methodology used for this project are:
• Kickoff Meeting
• Assessment of Existing Records
• Site Investigation/Site Visit
• Geotechnical Investigation and Report
• Review of Survey, Environmental Reports
• Review Master Planning and Programming
• Confirm Utility Systems Availability
• Produce Conceptual Plans for Each Location
• Engage with Stakeholders
• Calculate Utility Demand Projections
• Produce Phased Design (Conceptual, 60%, 90%)
• Procure Permits
• 100%Issue for Construction Drawings
• Provide Bid Assistance
• Provided Construction Assistance
Kickoff Meeting
During this first meeting, we will meet with key Kitsap County team members to:
• Discuss Kitsap County’s vision for the new parking facilities
• Clarify project expectations
• Discuss and review the park’s master plan with the Kitsap County Team including any updates
• Discuss any required zoning entitlements
• Establish project objectives and criteria for:
» Verifying development standards for this project scope
» Defining access road/path configuration and standards
» Water availability or alternate options
» Sanitary availability or alternate options
» Stormwater management criteria and low impact development
» Any commercial utilities and expectations
» Pedestrian, mountain bike and equestrian considerations
» Discuss wayfinding needs
• Engage with the County to understand the details of their permitting process
• Customize the project work plan
• Verify all existing documentation to start the evaluation process
• Plan engaging with geotechnical consultants
• Discuss cultural resource needs
• Identify potential challenges
• Verify the project schedule
• Establish next steps and timeframes
• Clarify project stakeholders and establish lines of communication between the County and our consultant team
During the kickoff meeting, we will discuss if the prefabricated restroom facility requires utilities services or if a pit latrine style is intended. If the facility needs utility connections, we understand that this general area has public water and sanitary services. We will discuss the proximity of the proposed north parking area to available public utility sources. If public utilities are not an option for this site, our team has experience working with designing Group A water systems, well designs, pit latrines and septic field designs. We can help the County determine the best option for the new restroom facilities, including cost, schedule, long-term maintenance, and life span.
15% Conceptual Design
After the kickoff meeting, we will begin the design process by preparing a conceptual design for each project location to gain feedback before we proceed to detailed design. During this phase we will:
• Release the geotechnical engineer
• Review the provided survey and incorporate into the design software
• Review any available environmental reports and tree surveys
• Review all code requirements
• Assess existing records
• Review master plan to make sure the proposed access road at the north site will allow the needed flexibility and minimize disturbance to the existing area
• Review master plan to identify any other features that may be needed and/or future development considerations
• Engage with stakeholder groups, including Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance
• Prepare conceptual plans for each location and submit fo County project team and permit staff review.
• Avoid significant trees where possible
15% Review Meeting
Our team will meet with Kitsap County project team and County permitting agent team to discuss the conceptual plan layouts and gain any additional feedback before proceeding to the next design phase.
Kitsap County Zoning Entitlements Although not expected, if the County permitting staff has identified any need for this project to undergo any entitlements applications, Coffman will drive the process by producing the required packages and engaging with the County to obtain the required approvals. We will incorporate any County permitting staff comments from the 15% review meeting into this package to present to the County project team.
60% Design Development
With the feedback from the County groups for our 15% plans, we will proceed to 60%
Design Development. During this phase, our team will produce demolition, temporary soil erosion control (TSEC) plans and provide plan details for site improvements, wayfinding, grading, storm conveyance piping, infiltration features, and prepare detail sheets to round out the 60% plan set for both project sites. We will base the wayfinding signage on established styles and methods in the park, for consistency and ease of the user. In addition to
developing plan sets, we will also provide a preliminary stormwater report and a table of draft specifications for both locations.
Philips Creek Trailhead PROJECT APPROACH
For the north project site, we will advance the design to build the road corridor in AutoCAD Civil 3D. We will perform traffic circulation analysis for safety and fold those discoveries into the layout. We will also progress the site design to clearly define the vertical and horizontal alignments of the new access road with non-motorized considerations, provide road profiles, size and grade the roadside ditches, size any culverts and identify the grading tie-in to the existing ground surface. We will include standard sections for the access road and detail the connection to the main road and to the parking lot. Our experience with campus planning and planned unit development has taught us that this is an important consideration early in the project, to avoid rework later in the design process, saving you time and money.
For the south project site, we will review traffic safety and sight distance for
entrance to the main road and fine-tune the parking lot circulation for both vehicles and pedestrians.
During the 60% design phase, our team will layout a schematic utility layout based on input from the County and commercial utility purveyors at both locations, as needed. During this phase, we will look at alternative energy options for the parking lot, wayfinding, and restroom lighting, as we believe solar lighting may be a reasonable option.
The prefabricated restroom facilities at the north project site will need to be reviewed to determine demand loading for water and sewer. If utility services are needed, it is prudent that these needs are carefully vetted with the County to make sure the system has capacity to provide the services.
We will design a safe system that is sized properly, as well as size and detail the sanitary system, water service with loading calculations for the new restroom facilities, and detail any desired future facility utility stubs to save you time and resources for future development. Overall, we will include the layouts for any commercial utilities that are desired for this project.
Your project will require evaluation of low impact stormwater solutions, both in the work of the access road and at each parking lot. Since this area is part of the aquifer recharge area, we anticipate stormwater will be directed to infiltration areas (above or below ground). This means our proposed team will work with the County project team and County permitting staff to determine which solutions are feasible and workable into our plan.
60% Review Meeting
The 60% review meeting for your project is important because is it allows us to meet with Kitsap County to discuss the design progress and updates to the concept plans for utility services. Our team is well equipped to provide any alerts that the County’s utility systems may not meet the project’s needs by capturing those concerns in our living issues log. This allows us to provide you with organized, actionable solutions and alternative sources and methods, depending on the findings. Our team will also engage with the County permitting staff and stakeholder groups, where appropriate, to allow them an opportunity to provide input and guidance for any alternative solutions. This creates productive lines of communication and makes sure your project has appropriate influence from key stakeholders.
90% Construction Documents The Coffman team will further develop the design to provide final documents for permit application. The County project team’s review comments of the 60% design will be incorporated as we bring the design to 90% complete. During this phase we will:
• Update and finalize north project site access road design
• Update and finalize stormwater, water, and sewer systems
• Produce needed utility profiles
• Finalize demolition, TESC plans, and engineering details
• Finalize the utility loading calculations
• Provide the final stormwater report with infiltration rate data confirmed
• Prepare all needed specifications
• Provide a full quality control check of the package
• Work with Kitsap County landscape restoration architect or engage with a subonsultant, if needed
90% Review Meeting
Coffman will meet with the Kitsap County team to review the 90% package, clarify design, and review modifications proposed by the County for quality assurance.
Permitting
Coffman will prepare all applications for the needed permits for all Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) and proactively lead the process with the reviewing parties.
For this process, we will submit our 90%
construction documents after addressing any final County project team comments.
We will complete all applications and revise the plans to resolve any comments from the AHJs to procure your construction permits.
The permitting process may also require contributions from a cultural resource specialist. We can easily work with any cultural resource specialist selected by Kitsap County or engage with SWCA Environmental Consultants, a trusted teaming partner.
100% Design (IFC)
The 100% set will be utilized to pick up any review comments provided by the AHJ reviewers, as well as address any outstanding concerns by the County project team. Any revisions to the plans that were a result of the AHJ reviews will be vetted with the County prior to final submission to the AHJs for approval.
Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC)
Our outlook on quality is not something that is folded into a deliverable as the project draws to a close, but rather it is incorporated intentionally throughout the project from the start. We have an extensive internal QA/QC process, which is instrumental in formalizing the quality of our work and providing you with a successful project.
Goldendale Observatory
PROJECT APPROACH
Quality is a requirement of every project we deliver. By developing a custom Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) at project inception, we can meet this objective without
creating an unnecessary cost burden to Kitsap County. Coffman has adopted a documented QAP which assigns a QA/
QC reviewer for each discipline before the project begins. This project will be supported by project specific QC Checklists, that will be updated as the project evolves.
We will engage our QA/QC lead, Carston Mortenson, from the onset of the project to take part in identifying areas for coordination and developing the project specific checklists.
To emphasize the importance of quality for this project, we will set an internal QA/
QC submittal deadline. A full review by the QA/QC personnel and the project manager is performed while leaving ample time to incorporate comments and verify those comments were addressed prior to sending the deliverable to the County or AHJ. A final review is conducted by the project manager. For this project, the key elements of the Quality Control review process are as follows:
• The designated QA/QC reviewer will review the package for code compliance and complete documentation
• The project manager, Allison Hazen, will review the package for scope, County project goals, stakeholder input, key decision inclusions and design coordination
• Final QA/QC by the reviewer after implementation of QA/QC comments
• Allison will review the package for overall completeness
We have seen an increase of product quality at all levels, as the QA/QC reviewers help develop each project’s specific QAP and QC Checklists, which are used by all team members throughout the entire project lifecycle. The standard of quality is defined by a combination of the following influences:
• Code verification
• The documented understanding between the County and Coffman
• The industry standard of care
• The value that comes from experience and creativity
• Implementing successes and lessons learned from past projects
• Ownership of deliverables Bid Assistance
Coffman will be available to provide construction bid support for this project.
We are well-versed at providing bid support, attending the pre-bid meeting(s), and assisting with contractor selection. We have a strong background in helping clients with categorizing bid packages into Base Bids and Bid Alternative. This gives our clients significant value and helps them create a competitive bid and maximize available funds or create future construction
phases, if needed. We also understand that responsiveness and thorough pre-proposal inquiries are necessary to obtain clean bids from contractors, a critical step in the success of your project.
PG Heritage Park Hair Pin Feature
For this project, we can work with your team to decide if the project would benefit from soliciting the bids with 90% Issue for Permit review documents or include the revisions based on agency comments before
preparing the bid package.
Construction Phase
Coffman also provides construction assistance with all our design projects to see the project completely through to the end. Proactive participation in the pre- construction conference is a crucial piece to establishing solid partnership between the design team and the general contractor team. We view this meeting as an important step in handing off the production role of the project and passing our knowledge base to the construction team before breaking ground. We provide RFI and submittal review services, where quick responses are the standard, allowing you to avoid delays in construction. Coffman can also be available to conduct field visits, advise County on change orders, prepare change orders, perform punch list surveys, generate as- built drawings, review operations and maintenance needs with your staff and assist with the closeout of the project.
COVID-19 Restrictions and Safety At Coffman, safety comes first, and we take local guidelines and restrictions very seriously. The proposal project team members have a long history of working with clients all over the region, country, and world. Working with both internal and external project team members remotely is a practice that we have been accustom to for over 20 years. With the onset of a global pandemic, Coffman has been able to adapt quickly and seamlessly to working remotely with little impact to the efficiency of
projects. There are a few additional nuances that we needed to incorporate with the current COVID protocols, but we have found our methods to be successful.
We have incorporated video conferencing into many of our projects for both internal meetings and collaboration with our clients and any outside consultants, so we are still able to meet “face-to-face” and review plans and documents together.
Through screensharing and control features, any project team member may present, and multiple team members can mark-up a drawing together. We have also used Bluebeam Studio as a collaborative platform for sharing live pdf drawings that can be reviewed and redlined by any user at any time. Increased email and phone communication have also been effective for our team during these times where we cannot meet in person.
We meticulously follow CDC guidelines for social distancing, gathering, mask- wearing, temperature checking, and tracing procedures in addition to our usual personal protective equipment used at all site visits and construction sites. Being civil engineers, we are fortunate that our field work is almost exclusively outdoors, in line with our local COVID-19 safety guidelines.
Currently, we have active construction projects underway in Sequim, Blyn, and Black Diamond. We have been able to
efficiently partake in the construction phase using video and phone conferences, review site photos, electronic communications for RFIs, submittals and supplemental information sharing, and performing site visits to observe critical installations, assist with unforeseen conditions and conduct punch list surveys and punch list back checks. We have not experienced any delay in our team’s ability to swiftly respond to the needs of our general contractors and have kept the projects moving forward.

Project Experience
Moran State Park Summit Visitor Center | Orcas Island, WA
Civil engineer for the replacement of the learning center and restroom facility at the top of Mount Constitution at the north end of Moran State Park. This new building was built in phases beginning with the three stall restroom facilities, a water treatment system room to house the onsite treatment facility, and a mechanical room. The classroom and office spaces were built in phase 2. Water, sewer, power and communication services were installed for this facility from the services at the base of the mountain. The existing parking area was upgraded for ADA compliance and storm water was collected from the new building and parking area and dispersed with a rock pad before draining down the slope.
Goldendale Observatory State Park Visitors Center | Goldendale, WA Civil engineer for the design of the expansion and renovation of the observatory learning center and parking area at Goldendale State Park. Water, power, and communication services were installed for this facility from the services at the base of the mountain. Stormwater was dispersed using gravel trenches. A new onsite septic system was installed on the slope below the facility, routed between the existing rocks and trees which needed to be protected on this historic site.
Conceptual layouts for the parking area redesign were produced to accommodate multiple visitors as well as school buses for field trips to the observatory. Educational trails were constructed around the new facility to provide ADA access to the exterior viewing platforms.
