Edwards Branch,and the Chantilly Tributary, improve water quality through improved stormwater management, and obtain stream mitigation credits for the City of Charlotte's Umbrella Mitigation Bank. Prior to the project, the Doral and Cavalier apartment complexes were located within the 100-year floodplain of the project site.Mecklenburg County purchased and removed the flood-prone buildings as part of the FEMA streambank stabilization buyout 55 program,which provided the space necessary to expand the existing community park,incorporate stormwater quality retrofits,and restore portions of degraded streams. Over 9,000 LF of stream restoration and enhancement will be performed,two stormwater quality BMPs will be installed within the floodplain of Briar Creek,and the ground will be prepared for greenway and recreational trails to be expanded in the future. Wildlands' scope included design of a replacement sewer line under a reach of restored stream between two manholes.

Projects managers are selected for projects based on their individual experience,strengths and workload as necessary to manage the specific project relative to individual project needs-type,size and complexity. Understanding the Commitment to Manage the Project Team: • JLA has demonstrated its ability to successfully manage water and sewer projects and understands from its years of expe- rience in the public sector the time commitment necessary to effectively manage a project. • On larger projects and/or complex projects,with or without multi-discipline needs,JLA understands that a project man- ager cannot both effectively manage and be a lead designer in the project. Consequently,the depth of personnel assigned to a project team is configured to allow the project manager the time necessary to commit to managing and leading the project team through all phases of a project to a timely completion with quality reflected in the constructed project. • Project Management Back-Up: JLA project team assignments reflect their belief that effective project management does not happen in a vacuum with one person. Consequently,a monthly project assessment of progress and schedule is reviewed and analyzed by the project manager and a deputy project manager and shared with the rest of the team and the client. The deputy project manager provides quality control to the assessment and analysis and a level of redundancy to JLA's commitment to project management. It also is JLA's means of grooming deputy project managers for larger,more complex projects. Our project approach will involve five stages of work progression,as described below,which will be implemented for each individual project as scheduled by the City: 1. Project Initiation:The Team will conduct a project kick-off meeting with all stakeholders.The Team and stakeholders will conduct a site visit and review and discuss the goals for the project and potential alternatives.The City will describe how the project was initiated and goals for this work effort.The Team will outline the data collection requirements and proposed design scope.Project initiation will culminate with an agreement by both parties to the work plan and path forward. 2. Data Acquisition:This stage will involve gathering of input data from various sources including field survey,GIS databases, owner records,field visits,State and Federal agencies,etc.We will compile data as base information to facilitate desi n r g process and generation the of plans.Depending on the project,geotechnical investigation may be required. 3. Design:This stage will involve design of the stabilization activities.Where applicable, Wildlands shall use established stream restoration and stabilization techniques developed and accepted by various State, Federal,and non-profit agencies.Hydrologic and hydraulic models will be developed to determine the appropriate design parameters that facilitate stabilization while supporting no-rise objectives.These models will also be utilized to provide design input to reduce erosion potential and determine appropriate channel plan and profile,as well as any necessary hard armoring techniques.The outcome of the design process will be a design solution that is acceptable to and agreed upon by both parties. 4. Permitting:This stage will involve obtaining permits from necessary Federal,State,and local regulatory agencies for the proposed work,including,but not limited to,the USACE,FEMA,Georgia EPD and the City of Augusta for stormwater permitting.It also includes advancing the design to construction-level plans and specifications necessary to facilitate bid letting and contractor selection. 5. Construction:This stage will involve construction of the proposed improvements,but begins with the bidding of the project and review of qualified bids.Wildiands is available to provide construction oversight services.Upon successful completion of construction,the project will be closed out and record drawings prepared and submitted to the owner E.2. UNDERSTANDING OF AREA WHERE PROJECT IS LOCATED: Johnson,Laschober&Associates,P.C. (JLA)is a local firm,with an office at 1296 Broad Street in Downtown Augusta,Georgia. JLA has maintained an excellent working relationship with Augusta-Richmond County since the firms inception in 1980. JLA started as a Civil and Structural Engineering firm and our first projects included projects with the City of Augusta. Since that time,the firm has grown to provide other disciplines while maintaining a close relationship with the City. With JLA being a local firm,we are knowledgeable of the water bodies in the area as well as the soils and sediments in the area. We have WILDLANDS on our project team,who is familiar with/has specialized experience with stream bank restoration. an understanding of waterbody flow processes and the application of fluvial geomorphology and restoration principals, waterbody ecology and ecosystem based habitat restoration and stream restoration with development of bioengineered/ vegetative stabilization. RFQ 19-152 Engineering Services for Streambank Stabilization Design,Permitting and Construction February 21 Paagege 1 i 1 1 J L TECHNICAL APPROACH SECTION E E.3 APPROACH TO PUBLIC OUTREACH AND PUBLIC RELATIONS' Ms.Cabiness will coordinate with each project engineer in the scheduling and presentation of public outreach and relations activities for each project. JLA will hold a minimum of two public hearings per project. This first public hearing will be scheduled as early as possible after the project kick-off,allowing for enough time for the project team to familiarize themselves with existing studies and data. The second project meeting will be scheduled immediately following the Alternative Development and prior to Alternative Comparison and Recommendations. E.4 PROCESS FOR EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVES. IDENTIFYING PERMITS AND PERMIT AGENCIES, SITE AND ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS: Viable alternatives will be developed to meet project objectives for flood mitigation.Each alternative will define permitting requirements and agencies,environmental impacts,disturbance or inconvenience to adjacent areas during construction, project schedule,project costs and cost-benefit ratio. Resilience and sustainability will be considered. Alternatives will be compared and rated on a weighted point system with input from a public hearing,ranked and an alternative recommended. E.5. KNOWLEDGE AND SPECIFIC EXPERIENCE IN STREAM AND STREAM BANK RESTORATION. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION PRACTICES JLA has a wealth of knowledge and experience in streambank restoration and understanding the components that are required for each specific job. Depending on the design criteria,JLA has used many different options for restoration and overall project construction. These include,but not limited to: 1. Bio-Engineering design Best Management Practices (BMPs) including: a. Coir materials,including rolls and matting for toe and slope stabilization. b. Live stakes and plug seedlings to promote re-vegetation of the streambank. c. Root wads to strengthen streambank in high velocity areas. d. Hydroseeding. e. Cross vanes within creeks and streams to reduce streambank erosion,maintain stream stability,dissipate excess energy and enhance fish habitats. f. BMP practices required from the GSWCC Manual for Erosion and Sediment Control in Georgia(Green Book). 2. Semi-Hard Armor for Slope Stabilization including: a. Hard toe design using rip rap and drainage stone. Used primarily in high velocity areas and abrupt changes in the stream direction. b. Concrete matting designed to facility vegetation growth. This would include vegetation growth through the matting as well as allowing installation of live stokes within the matting area. 3. Additional construction practices including: a. Turbidity Curtain installation to minimize sediment escaping downstream. b. Temporary Stream Crossing per the Georgia Green Book. E.6. MANAGEMENT TOOLS, TECHNIQUES, AND PROCEDURES USED TO MAINTAIN PROJECT SCHEDULES The following management tools,techniques,and procedures are utilized by to maintain project schedules. 1. A detailed development of task descriptions is completed for each project with associated manhour assignments,begin work and end work date assignments,and pre-requisites established regarding work that must be completed prior to starting task. 2. The above information is utilized in JLA-developed project management Excel worksheets for monthly progress evaluation and/or or for use in Microsoft Projects. JLA used this method to monitor and manage a long-term study for Rehabilitation of the Spirit Creek Interceptor for the Augusta Utility Department to effectively keep the project on schedule. 3. The Project Manager/Project Engineer performs monthly detailed project assessments of progress and reports results to team members. 4. A team action plan is implemented,as required,following each detailed monthly progress assessment to maintain schedule. 5. JLA meets weekly with all its project managers to report critical deadlines and manpower needs to ensure that project managers/engineers have adequate resources to meet project goals. 6.

The Employer understands that participation in E-Verify does not exempt the Employer from the responsibility to complete, retain, and make available for inspection Forms 1-9 that relate to its employees, or from other requirements of applicable regulations or laws, including the obligation to comply with the antidiscrimination requirements of section 274B of the INA with respect to Form 1-9 procedures, except for the following modified requirements applicable by reason of the Employer's participation in E-Verify: (1) identity documents must have photos, as described in paragraph 5 above; (2) a rebuttable presumption is established that the Employer has not violated section 274A(a)(1)(A)of the Immigration and Nationality Act(INA)with respect to the hiring of any individual if it obtains confirmation'of the identity and employment eligibility of the individual in good faith compliance with the terms and conditions of E-Verify; (3) the Employer must notify DHS If it continues to employ any employee after receiving a final nonconfirmaton, and is subject to a civil money penalty between $550 and $1.100 for each failure to notify DHS of continued employment following a final nonconflrmation; (4) the Employer is subject to a rebuttable presumption that it has knowingly employed an unauthorized alien in violation of section 274A(a)(1 XA)if the Employer continues to employ an employee after receiving a final nonconfirmation; and (5)no person or entity participating in E-Verify is civilly or criminally liable under any law for any action taken in good faith based on information provided through the confirmation system. DHS reserves the right to conduct Form 1-9 and E-Verify system compliance inspections during the course of E-Verify, as well as to conduct any other enforcement activity authorized by law. 7. The Employer agrees to initiate E-Verify verification procedures for new employees within 3 Employer business days after each employee has been hired (but after the Form 1-9 has been completed), and to complete as many (but only as many) steps of the E-Verify process as are necessary according to the E-Verify User Manual, or in the case of Federal contractors with the FAR E-Verify clause, the E Verify User Manual for Federal Contractors. The Employer is prohibited from initiating verification procedures before the employee has been hired and the Form 1-9 completed. If the automated system to be queried Is temporarily unavailable,the 3-day time period is extended until it is again operational in order to accommodate the Employer's attempting, in good faith, to make inquiries during the period of unavailability. Employers may initiate verification by notating the Form 1-9 in circumstances where the employee has applied for a Social Security Number (SSN) from the.SSA and is waiting to receive the SSN, provided that the Employer performs an E-Verify employment verification query using the employee's SSN as soon as the SSN becomes available. 8. The Employer agrees not to use E-Verify procedures for pre-employment screening of job applicants, in support of any unlawful employment practice, or for any other use not authorized by this MOU. Employers must use E-Verify for all new employees, unless an Employer is a Federal contractor that qualifies for the exceptions described in Article II.D.1.c. Except as provided in Article II.D, the Employer will not verify selectively and will not verify employees hired before the effective date of this MOU. The Employer understands that if the Employer uses the E-Verify system for any purpose other than as authorized by this MOU, the Employer Page 4 of 131 E-Verify MOU for Employer I Revision Date 09/01/09 www.dhs.govlE Verity EVerdy • cr ,�wI� Company ID Number.725220 may be subject to appropriate legal action and termination of its access to SSA and OHS information pursuant to this MOU. 9. The Employer agrees to follow appropriate procedures (see Article III. below) regarding tentative nonconfirmations, including notifying employees in private of the finding and providing them written notice of the findings, providing written referral instructions to employees, allowing employees to contest the finding, and not taking adverse action against employees if they choose to contest the finding. Further, when employees contest a tentative nonconfirmation based upon a photo non-match, the Employer is required to take affirmative steps (see Article III.B. below)to contact DHS with information necessary to resolve the challenge. 10. The Employer agrees not to take any adverse action against an employee based upon the employee's perceived employment eligibility status while SSA or DHS is processing the verification request unless the Employer obtains knowledge(as defined in 8 C.F.R. §274a.1(1)) that the employee is not work authorized. The Employer understands that an initial inability of the SSA or DHS automated verification system to verify work authorization, a tentative nonconfirmation, a case in continuance (indicating the need for additional time for the government to resolve a case), or the finding of a photo non-match, does not establish, and should not be interpreted as evidence, that the employee is not work authorized. In any of the cases listed above, the employee must be provided a full and fair opportunity to contest the finding, and'if he or she does so, the employee may not be terminated or suffer any adverse employment consequences based upon the employee's perceived employment eligibility status (including denying, reducing, or extending work hours, delaying or preventing training, requiring an employee to work in poorer conditions, refusing to assign the employee to a Federal contract or other assignment, or otherwise subjecting an employee to any assumption that he or she is unauthorized to work) until and unless secondary verification by SSA or DHS has been completed and a final nonconfirmation has been issued. If the employee does not choose to contest a tentative nonconfirmation or a photo'non-match .or, if a secondary verification is completed and a final nonconfirmation is issued,then the Employer can find the employee is not work authorized and terminate the employee's employment. Employers or employees with questions about a final nonconfirmation may call E-Verify at 1-888-464-4218 or OSC at 1-800- 255-8155 or 1-800*237-2515 (TDD). 11. The Employer agrees to comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and section 274B of the INA, as applicable, by not discriminating unlawfully against any individual in hiring, firing, or recruitment or referral practices because of his or her national origin or, in the case of a protected individual as defined in section 2748(a)(3) of the INA, because of his or her citizenship status. The Employer understands that such illegal practices can include selective verification or use of E-Verify except as provided In part D below, or discharging or refusing to hire employees because they appear or sound "foreign" or have received tentative nonconfirmations.The Employer further understands that any violation of the unfair immigration- related employment practices provisions in section 274B of the INA could subject the Employer to civil penalties, back pay awards, and other sanctions, and violations of Title VII could subject the Employer to back pay awards, compensatory and punitive damages. Violations of either section 2746 of the INA or Title VII may also lead to the termination of its participation in E- Verify. If the Employer has any questions relating to the anti-discrimination provision, it should contact OSC at 1-800-255-8155 or 1-800-237-2515(TDD). Page 5 of 13 I E-Verify MOU for Employer I Revision Date 09/01/09 www.dhs.gov/E-Verify E-Ver" Company ID Number:725220 12. The Employer agrees to record the case verification number on the employee's Form 1-9 or to print the screen containing the case verification number and attach it to the employee's Form 1-9, 13. The Employer agrees that it will use the information it receives from SSA or DHS pursuant to E-Verify and this MOU only to confirm the employment eligibility of employees as authorized by this MOU. The Employer agrees that it will safeguard this information, and means of access to it (such as PINS and passwords) to ensure that it is not used for any other purpose and as necessary to protect its confidentiality, including ensuring that it is not disseminated to any person other than employees of the Employer who are authorized to perform the Employer's responsibilities under this MOU, except for such dissemination as may be authorized in advance by SSA or DHS for legitimate purposes. 14. The Employer acknowledges that the information which it receives from SSA is governed by the Privacy Act(5 U.S.C. § 552a(i)(1)'and (3))and the Social Security Act(42 U.S.C. 1306(a)), and that any person who obtains this information under false pretenses or uses it for any purpose other than as provided for in this MOU may be subject to criminal penalties. 15. The Employer agrees to cooperate with DHS and SSA in their compliance monitoring and evaluation of E Verify, including by permitting DHS and SSA, upon reasonable notice,to review Forms 1-9 and other employment records and to interview it and its employees regarding the Employer's use of E-Verify, and to respond in a timely and accurate manner to DHS requests for information relating to their participation in E-Verify. D.RESPONSIBILITIES OF FEDERAL CONTRACTORS WITH THE FAR E-VERIFY CLAUSE 1. The Employer understands that if it is a subject to the employment verification terms in Subpart 22.18 of the FAR, it must verify the employment eligibility of any existing employee assigned to the contract and all new hires, as discussed in the Supplemental Guide for Federal Contractors. Once an employee has been verified through E-Verify by the Employer, the Employer may not reverify the employee through E-Verify. a. Federal contractors with the FAR E-Verify clause agree to become familiar with and comply with the most recent versions of the E-Verify User Manual for Federal Contractors and the E-Verify Supplemental Guide for Federal Contractors. b. Federal contractors with the FAR E-Verify clause agree to complete a tutorial for Federal contractors with the FAR E-Verify clause. c. Federal contractors with the FAR E-Verify clause not enrolled at the time of contract award: An Employer that Is not enrolled in E-Verify at the time of a contract award must enroll as a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause in E-Verify within 30 calendar days of contract award and,within 90 days of enrollment, begin to use E-Verify to initiate verification of employment eligibility of new hires of the Employer who are working In the United States, whether or not assigned to the contract. Once the Employer begins verifying new hires, such verification of new hires must be initiated within 3 business days after the date of hire. Once enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause, the Employer must initiate verification of employees assigned to the contract within 90 calendar days from the time Page 6 of 13 i E-Verify MOD for Employer I Revision Date 09/01/09 www.dhs.gov/E-Verify NM dI a Company ID Number.725220 of enrollment in the system and after the date and selecting which employees will be verified in E-Verify or within 30 days of an employee's assignment to the contract,whichever date is later. d. Employers that are already enroNed in E-Verify at the time of a contract award but are not enrolled in the system as a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause: Employers enrolled in E-Verify for 90 days or more at the time of a contract award must use E-Verify to initiate verification of employment eligibility for new hires of the Employer who are working in the United States, whether or not assigned to the contract,within 3 business days after the date of hire. Employers enrolled in E-Verify as other than a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause, must update E-Verify to indicate that they are a Federal contractor with the FAR E- Verify clause within 30 days after assignment to the contract. If the Employer is enrolled in E- Verify for 90 calendar days or less at the time of contract award, the Employer must,within 90 days of enrollment, begin to use E-Verify to initiate verification of new hires of the contractor who are working in the United States, whether or not assigned to the contract. Such verification of new hires must be initiated within 3 business days after the date of hire. An Employer enrolled as a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause in E-Verify must initiate verification of each employee assigned to the contract within 90 calendar days after date of contract award or within 30 days after assignment to the contract,whichever is later. e.

Such Federal contractors with the FAR E-Verify clause may, however, elect to verify all new hires, and/or all existing employees hired after November 6, 1986. The provisions of Article II.D, paragraphs 1.a and 1.b of this MOU providing timeframes for initiating employment verification of employees assigned to a contract apply to such institutions of higher education, State,local and tribal governments, and sureties. f. Verification of all employees: Upon enrollment, Employers who are Federal contractors with the FAR E-Verify clause may elect to verify employment eligibility of all existing employees working in the United States who were hired after November 6, 1986, instead of verifying only new employees and those existing employees assigned to a covered Federal contract. After enrollment,Employers must elect to do so only in the manner designated by DHS and initiate E- Verify verification of aN existing employees within 180 days after the election. g. Form 1-9 procedures for existing employees of Federal contractors with the FAR E- Verify clause: Federal contractors with the FAR E-Verify clause may choose to complete new Forms 1-9 for all existing employees other than those that are completely exempt from this process.
