Address: 2550 University Avenue West, Suite 238N, St. Paul, MN 55114-2006

Criminal OffensesKimley-Horn hereby certifies that neither the firm nor any of its officers or owners have been convicted of a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing any public or private contract.

Management SystemsKimley-Horn uses the CostPoint Engineering Accounting system to track labor hours and expenses for each project. Twice monthly, the Kimley-Horn Management Information System (MIS) generates a project effort report showing, by task, actual effort expended and project expenses. This internal control allows us to make, on a timely basis, adjustments that may be necessary to stay within budget and assist in maintaining the project schedule.

Kimley-Horn project managers also use project management programs, such as Microsoft Project, to assist in tracking project task labor hours and expenses. Labor hours are assigned to each activity and task along with labor hourly

rates. As labor hours are expended (reported from biweekly timesheets), the costs are updated in Microsoft Project. Cost reports are generated with the software and can be checked against our main cost accounting system.

Project-Specific Information

Relevant ExperienceOur Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. team has successfully completed many projects of magnitudes great and small, where a multidisciplinary team approach was necessary. We have extensive experience working on sports facilities projects in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area as well as extensive public sector experience working with Metropolitan Council and Metro Transit. The Kimley-Horn team has the leadership and foresight to efficiently move environmental documentation through the state and federal processes.

We have highlighted a few key projects under each of the three categories of project experience requested in the RFP. In addition, we have listed numerous other projects that demonstrate the depth of our team’s sport facility and environmental experience as well as our relationships with the primary stakeholders for this project. Collectively between Kimley-Horn and SRF Consulting Group, Inc. (SRF), during the past 10 years, we have worked on more than 100 different projects for Metro Transit, more than 75 projects for the Metropolitan Council, and more than 100 projects for the City of Minneapolis. Additionally, ZAN Associates, Inc. (ZAN) and American Engineering Testing, Inc. (AET) have completed dozens more projects with these entities.

The Project Experience table on page 2-6 summarizes the featured projects.

MAJOR PROFESSIONAL SPORTS FACILITIES EXPERIENCEThe Minnesota Urban Ballpark Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Pedestrian Analysis, Minneapolis, MNSRF and Kimley-Horn worked with Hennepin County and stakeholder agencies to complete an EIS for the ballpark. SRF’s efforts included analyzing the potential social, economic, and environmental impacts associated with the build and no-build alternatives. The analysis included traffic and transportation; noise and air quality; visual impacts; cultural resources and site contamination; land use regulation; surface water quality; impacts on utilities; impacts on parks, recreation areas, and trails; ballpark operations; and construction-related and cumulative impacts.

Kimley-Horn served as a subconsultant and provided stadium lighting, event generated noise, and transit analyses. As part of the analysis, Kimley-Horn prepared the impact analysis for the above noted issue areas and attended team meetings with Hennepin County, the City of Minneapolis, and representatives of the Twins organization.

Kimley-Horn also was the prime consultant for the pedestrian modeling analysis of the stadium. This analysis was completed using the ALPS software, an integrated set of programs created by Kimley-Horn. With this approach, the cascading congestion that occurs when areas are overloaded can be simulated and the effect on travel times and associated queuing throughout the network can be studied. For this project, mitigation measures evaluated using the model included increased sidewalk width, exclusive pedestrian cross walk phase, implementation of traffic control officers, improved/revised signal timing, wayfinding signs, and improved/alternative vertical circulation facilities.

AET also was awarded a contract from the Minnesota Ballpark Authority for the new Twins Ballpark. Services provided included environmental oversight, testing, and monitoring; special inspections and geotechnical soils testing; monitoring excavation and placement of the playing field materials; and vibration and building performance monitoring of adjacent structures and infrastructure.

Completion Date: 2009 Construction Value: $435 million Firm’s Role: SRF was prime for EIS; Kimley-Horn provided stadium lighting, event generated noise, pedestrian, and transit analyses for the state EIS; AET provided geotech services Project Team: Beth Bartz, project manager/environmental task leader; Pat Corkle, traffic task leader; Jeanne Witzig, Kimley-Horn project manager; Jill Capelli, pedestrian analysis; Jeff Fuller, noise analysis

Ramsey County/Minnesota Vikings Stadium Proposal Risk Analysis, Arden Hills, MNThe Metropolitan Council, in cooperation with the former Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission (MSFC), selected Kimley-Horn to evaluate the Ramsey County/Minnesota Vikings proposal for a new stadium at the Arden Hills Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP). The scope of work included evaluating significant cost and schedule uncertainties to help the state minimize the risk from public investment in the stadium. The greatest risks


2-2EF060085.12

to project costs were transportation improvements (right-of-way and construction), site remediation (clean up needed to meet land transfer requirements), and mitigation for other environmental impacts (noise, wildlife corridor/parklands, environmental justice, and public infrastructure). The magnitude of the decision the state needed to make regarding investing in this project and the importance of getting it right, not only for the decision makers, but for the taxpayers, led us to staff the project with our top experts in the areas needed to provide solid conclusions regarding the risks for expanding project scope and costs to build a stadium at the TCAAP location. Kimley-Horn staff functioned as an extension of Metropolitan Council staff. The work was ultimately completed ahead of schedule and the Stadium Proposal Risk Analysis document was received by the public as being technically comprehensive and non-controversial.

Completion Date: October 2011 Construction Value: Not applicable Firm’s Role: Evaluated cost and scheduling to minimize risk Project Team: Dan Coyle, project manager; Jeanne Witzig, environmental process; Beth Kunkel, environmental evaluation and QC; JoNette Kuhnau, traffic; Gary Ehret, senior advisor

TCF Bank Stadium EIS (Technical Analysis) Streetscape & Infrastructure, Minneapolis, MNWhen the University of Minnesota decided to bring Gopher Football back on campus, SRF was selected to provide the infrastructure and landscape improvements. SRF worked closely with the university, architect, construction manager, and the city to develop site improvements and landscaping that would effectively support the 50,000-seat, 28-acre stadium and also improve the natural environment around the stadium. One of the most challenging aspects of the project involved meeting city requirements for stormwater management. The stormwater plan addressed each stage of construction to protect the Mississippi River.

SRF completed the technical analysis for the EIS including air quality analysis, noise analysis, traffic analysis, and preparing supporting text for the document; and completed extensive traffic analysis for the new football stadium at the University of Minnesota. SRF analyzed traffic and transit operations and parking facilities on the Minneapolis Campus and St. Paul Campus/State Fairgrounds. In addition, SRF performed analysis for transit, pedestrians, and bicycles, and identified potential management strategies. They also completed a

Project Understanding and ApproachPROJECT CONTEXTRecent actions by the Minnesota legislature and the Minneapolis City Council have cleared the way for construction of a new football stadium replacing the 30-year old Metrodome, now known as Mall of America Field. While construction of the new stadium on the existing stadium site provides exciting opportunities for revitalization of this area of downtown Minneapolis and is an efficient use of existing transportation and utility infrastructure, it does create logistical challenges for the project as preparatory activities, including the EIS and design process, must be completed as efficiently as possible to minimize displacement of activities from the Mall of America Field during demolition and stadium construction, and to allow for operation of the new stadium in 2016.

The proposed stadium site lies at the eastern edge of downtown Minneapolis proximate to the Interstate 94 and 35 corridors. The Hiawatha LRT and future Central Corridor LRT line runs along the north and west sides of the stadium site, with the Mall of America Field station lying immediately to the west of the existing stadium. Numerous paved surface parking lots surround the stadium today, interspersed with one- to eight-story governmental and private office buildings and structure parking. A new urban residential community is developing along Washington Avenue two blocks north of the stadium, bringing a new facet of residential concerns to an otherwise commercial area. The Hennepin County Medical Center, a multiblock Level 1 Trauma Center, is located one block to the southwest of the stadium site. The Hennepin County Coroners’ office is directly adjacent to the southwest corner of the stadium site, and an Xcel Energy substation and the data center (511 building) are adjacent to 11th Avenue east of the stadium site.

Interactions between the stadium site construction and operation in this urban environment are complex in regards to function, transportation, access, and utilities.

The Kimley-Horn team has the Minnesota environmental expertise and large-venue experience to guide the project efficiently and effectively through the Minnesota environmental documentation process and obtain project approvals allowing the project to move into construction.

The following sections highlight our understanding and approach to the environmental process and selected

site conditions/analysis required to advance the People’s Stadium project through the environmental review phase.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROCESSBecause the new stadium would be located in the same location as the existing stadium, potential environmental impacts are limited to those created by expansion of the stadium facility and reorientation of how the stadium interacts with the multimodal transportation system surrounding the facility. Nonetheless, strict interpretation of state rules requires an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) be prepared for the stadium as its capacity exceeds the EIS threshold established under Minnesota Rules. The state EIS process requires completion of a Scoping EAW and Scoping Decision Document, a Draft EIS, a Final EIS, concluding with a Determination of Adequacy. State legislation has identified the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority (MSFA) as the Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU) charged with oversight of appropriate completion of the environmental process and ultimately responsible for the Determination of Adequacy. The legislation also limited the environmental review process to a single build alternative.

State requirements for public comment period following publication of the Scoping EAW, Draft EIS and Final EIS, and procedural steps that must be taken by RGU during the EIS process as well as the analysis required to complete the EIS typically require a minimum of 12 months for completion, often extending to 18 to 24 months for complicated projects. The Kimley-Horn team has proven its ability to strategically guide complicated projects through this process, completing the required steps within minimum timelines.

We acknowledge that there is some potential for interpretation of state rules that could allow for the level of environmental review to be limited to an EAW—which has a shorter review process than an EIS—with the understanding that the size of the new stadium is not substantially different from the existing facility. We also understand MSFA’s desire and need to complete the required environmental review as quickly as possible to facilitate the commencement of construction.

If the project were limited to the stadium only and not the additional adjacent land acquisition for amenities such as plazas, expanded transit center, parking, tailgating, and the like, we might agree that an EAW for the new stadium could adequately address local and agency concerns.

However, our experience with highly visible and contentious projects such as this strongly suggests that this approach


2-15EF060085.12

would be open to legal challenges based on the expanded project area and changes that have occurred in the area since the existing stadium was constructed. From our considerable environmental process experience, we believe that committing to and completing an EIS from the start will be more efficient than dealing with potential delays resulting from potential legal challenges.

Essentially the level of analysis required for an EIS is not substantially different than that for an EAW, therefore the primary difference is in the process. The Kimley-Horn team has identified several strategic approaches to completing the environmental process and technical analysis as efficiently as possible, while minimizing the schedule risk of legal challenges.

Project Definition: Strategic Integration with the Stadium Design ProcessCompletion of analysis reported in the EIS is dependent on having clear design decisions on which to base the analysis. Decisions regarding parking facility size and ingress/egress locations, pedestrian access, stormwater treatment, sound systems, and lighting designs are all critical inputs to EIS analysis. Working closely with the project group and selected design team to clearly communicate priority design decisions and facilitate timely completion of impact analysis will be critical to meeting the project schedule. Our approach to achieving this collaboration is first by having the right team members, which have established relationships and trust with the project group, and secondly by establishing a meeting schedule and decision milestones required to meet the agreed upon project schedule.

Project Definition: Avoid Project Impacts That Potentially Complicate the Environmental ProcessCurrently the stadium project appears to be limited to the Minnesota environmental process. However, environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) could potentially be triggered by any project activity requiring federal agency approval. The Kimley-Horn team has both state and federal environmental review expertise to guide project decisions regarding adjacent transportation facilities that could trigger federal NEPA review, to avoid impacts that would unnecessarily complicate project approvals and delay the project schedule.

Stakeholder Buy-In to Critical Environmental AnalysisOur previous experience with the University of Minnesota Football Stadium, Target Field, and the Mall of America Field have demonstrated that stakeholder buy-in to the methodology, assumptions, and conclusions of critical issues analysis yields considerable benefits in ensuring that the EIS process proceeds according to planned schedules without significant unanticipated issues or political concerns. The Kimley-Horn team would facilitate an effective working relationship between MSFA and key stakeholders including the City of Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Metro Transit, and MnDOT. Our approach to building these relations is addressed under the public outreach section.

Construction Staging: Directly Address the Temporary Impacts and Benefits of Holding Games at TCF Stadium During Construction of the New StadiumWhile TCF stadium is designed to accommodate football games, its peak attendance was expected/designed for 50,805. At least 3,200 temporary seats would need to be provided. As a result there may be additional analysis completed for the temporary impacts around TCF stadium during the two preseason, eight regular season, and any playoff home games the Vikings would need to play here after the dome is demolished. Taking these cumulative impacts into consideration during scoping and setting expectations on the level of analysis will minimize the threat of these potential impacts from sidelining the review process.

The Kimley-Horn team will work with MSFA to identify any potential issues operating the existing stadium while construction for the new stadium occurs. While existing stadium operational issues are not directly related to identifying impacts for the environmental document, they are critical to understanding where the new stadium will be ultimately located and the limits of construction around the existing and new stadium.

TRANSPORTATIONSeveral improvements to the transportation infrastructure will be necessary to meet the needs of the new stadium, the NFL setback guidelines, and the needs of the general public and event patrons. These include potential closure of certain roadways prior to and after an event (which are not closed today), adjustments to the transit station waiting areas, modifications to the roadway system, grade-separated pedestrian connections, and optimized pedestrian movements.


2-16EF060085.12

Based on our evaluation of traffic for previous stadium event arrival and departures, we had the following observations and understanding:

Access/Circulation ■ Because 5th Street South is closed adjacent to Mall

of America Field during NFL football games, 5th Street South has three lanes which turn left into one lane onto South 11th Avenue creating conflicts and congestion

■ Washington Avenue at the I-35W interchange is a traffic bottleneck during event departures, causing Washington Avenue to become congested and be the last roadway to clear after an event

■ An event traffic signal timing plan has not been implemented for stadium events

■ Vikings website contains limited parking and transportation information

■ More comprehensive parking and exiting wayfinding signage is needed

■ The Mall of America Field east lot exit onto South 11th Avenue has long delays during departure of the event (some of it caused by Washington Avenue congestion)

■ Parking and access to the Hennepin County Crime Lab during events needs to be evaluated

Parking ■ Current stadium site provides parking for 2,500

vehicles. Parking needs for remaining stadium event attendees is supplied by public and private parking facilities throughout the downtown area.

Transit ■ Because the Hiawatha LRT Downtown East/

Metrodome station is heavily used by event patrons, Metro Transit uses additional bus service as overflow to supplement the Hiawatha Line (Route 55)

■ With the existing layout near the station, it is challenging for Metro Transit staff to maintain an orderly queue for LRT/bus patrons

■ There is limited time between the arrival of the Northstar commuter rail in downtown Minneapolis and the beginning of the Vikings football games

Pedestrian and Bicyclists ■ In general, providing wayfinding and managing the

large event pedestrian traffic is limited and difficult under the current transportation network

■ A pedestrian bridge/tunnel connection from structured parking to the new stadium is desired

■ New facilities for bicyclists will need to be considered for the new stadium layout

The Kimley-Horn team will work with MSFA to identify any potential transportation issues and recommended potential mitigation strategies for the proposed stadium. Coordination also would be required with the stadium architect and the team designing any of the other adjacent infrastructure. The following are transportation issues which would likely need to be addressed during the EIS process:

■ Permanent impacts of modifying 5th Street South and/or other surrounding or adjacent roadways

■ Temporary impacts of those surrounding transportation facilities as a result of the recommended roadway closures or partial closures before, during, and/or following events at the stadium

■ Recommendations to improve traffic flow on Washington Avenue following large events at the stadium as well as the current proposed project to provide new access to northbound I-35W from 4th Street South; a potential future project that may result from the I-35W managed-lane study that is currently under way; and potential improvements to the transportation system through development and implementation of an event signal timing plan as well as potential ITS and other wayfinding systems

■ Transit evaluation at Hiawatha LRT Downtown East/Metrodome, such as impacts and benefits of three car trains, the addition of Central Corridor LRT line (under construction; on-line 2014) and other future lines (Southwest and Bottineau)

■ Charter bus drop off and parking location currently use 5th Street south, because it is closed to traffic during football games

■ Patron, limousine, and taxi drop-off and staging areas

■ Staff, team, and media parking areas will need to be considered and evaluated to ensure efficient and secure entrance to/exit from the stadium property

■ Methods and influence of improved communication to event patrons for parking locations alternative routes (especially for I-35W northbound)

■ Parking locations (both existing and proposed) and potentially new pedestrian wayfinding signage to/from parking areas as well as transit and other modes of transportation


2-17EF060085.12

CONSTRUCTION STAGINGThe benefit and challenge of the new stadium site location is that it is on the same site as the existing Mall of America Field. The benefit is that much of the existing infrastructure that is required to support a professional sports stadium already exists. The challenge is that new stadium construction takes multiple years, requiring careful evaluation and design of a staged construction plan that allows stadium events to continue at Mall of America field. The expectation is that all Mall of America Field events will need to be relocated to other venues for the last year of stadium construction.

The Kimley-Horn team will work with MSFA to identify any potential issues of operating the existing stadium while construction for the new stadium occurs. While existing stadium operational issues are not directly related to identifying impacts for the environmental document, they are critical to understanding where the new stadium footprint will be located and how the temporary and permanent impacts of construction are defined.

Water, sanitary sewer, electric service, and other utilities will need to be well understood in order to develop a temporary utility service plan to allow the existing Mall of America Field to remain in operation while the new stadium is under construction. Similar to our approach on the Transit Interchange Project in Minneapolis by Target Field and the Hiawatha LRT, we will hold utility coordination meetings with all of the affected utility owners to identify utility impacts, develop temporary service plans, and determine the ultimate routing of final utilities to serve the new stadium.

Xcel Energy owns an electric power substation to the east of existing Mall of America Field. There are transmission and distribution lines that run from the substation through the existing Mall of America Field parking lot and through 11th Avenue. The transmission and distribution lines in the parking lot will most likely need to be relocated. In addition, the electric power feeder line serving Mall of America Field will need to be temporarily relocated to allow the existing stadium to remain in service while the new stadium is under construction.

SITE AND PLAZA STORMWATER MANAGEMENTAs part of the new stadium on the current Mall of America Field site, stormwater management will be a vital component to the reconstruction on the site as there is currently no treatment of the runoff from the site. Proper stormwater

management techniques will be necessary to obtain the requisite permits from the City of Minneapolis. Furthermore, if there is a desire for the project to meet the requirements for LEED certification, stormwater management would play a significant role. There are three primary concerns in stormwater management—water quality, rate control, and volume control. The City of Minneapolis has criteria covering the first two, while LEED’s criteria for this site cover all three.

The Kimley-Horn team would work with MSFA, the City of Minneapolis, and stadium architects to discuss rate control BMPs that can meet the necessary criteria and includes surface and underground detention devices. Volume control BMPs includes a wide range of site planning strategies and stormwater devices. Minimizing the amount of impervious surface through the use of green roofs, pervious pavement, and strategic use of landscaping is one of the primary methods of reducing runoff volume. Other methods include infiltration and stormwater reuse. Soil borings will be necessary to determine if infiltration practices are feasible. Soil information shown on City of Minneapolis storm drain record drawings indicate that there is up to 28 feet of clay and boulders in the vicinity, which may prevent the implementation of true infiltration in some portions of the project area.

ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATIONThe scope of demolition work is dominated by the current Mall of America Field and associated parking facilities that were developed in the early 1980s. The original development likely addressed impacted soils required to build the facility, but the environmental condition of the surrounding parking lots and public right-of-way is not known. It is likely that these surrounding sites have some level of environmental impacts associated with the historical land uses, such as railroads, lumber yards, foundries, and scrap yards. A MPCA database search reveals the existence of two new 1,000-gal. diesel underground storage tanks and a small to moderate generator of hazardous waste

produced on-site (photo fixer silver solution). These are modern installations and not likely contributors to large scale environmental contamination.

We will perform a Phase I ESA for the project site and determine what, if any, Phase II ESAs may be necessary to satisfy the environmental documentation requirements.

PUBLIC OUTREACHThe purpose of public outreach during the preparation of an EIS is to:

■ Provide a transparent process

■ Provide an opportunity for the public to comment on environmental documents

■ Identify issues of importance to residents and businesses

■ Fully identify the impacts of the project and develop appropriate mitigation strategies

■ Build consensus on the project, its impacts and proposed mitigation strategies

Two public meetings are required to complete the environmental review process for the People’s Stadium: a scoping public meeting, and a public meeting for the Draft EIS. These meetings will need to be properly noticed, fully documented, and responses prepared to the comments received.

In addition to the required meetings under the state environmental process, it will be important to reach out to the potentially impacted property owners, residents, and businesses surrounding the proposed stadium. It is anticipated that meetings will need to be held with Elliot Park Neighborhood, Downtown Minneapolis Neighborhood Association, East Downtown Council, Downtown Council, Downtown Improvement District, Minneapolis Transportation Management Organization, and nearby property owners. It will be important to provide information to these organizations, as well as public agencies such as Metro Transit, MnDOT, Hennepin County, and the City of Minneapolis, regarding the environmental review process, upcoming meetings, and environmental documentation; and it will be important to engage them in the identification of impacts and the development of mitigation strategies. The most likely issues of concern will include noise, traffic, parking, economic development, and visual impacts.

Innovative Suggestions/OptionalThe innovative suggestions below reflect two tasks/approach strategies used for the Target Field EIS. Our team would welcome the opportunity to further discuss specifics and applicability of both with MFSA.

TECHNICAL REVIEW TEAMWith the project under a fast-track process, similar to Target Field, we would propose development of a project technical review team to participate in the transportation study process and assist in addressing any potential issues. Representation on the technical review team would include MFSA, City of Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Metro Transit, MnDOT, FHWA, and the Vikings. Patterned after the approach successfully used for the Target Field project, this group could meet as regularly as every two weeks to address and resolve technical issues.

ALPS MODELINGALPS is an integrated software developed by Kimley-Horn that offers a suite of modeling and analysis opportunities to illustrate multiple modes of transportation that will be realized at the new stadium. We strongly encourage the use of this tool for several reasons. First, it has been successfully used in Minneapolis on similar scale projects to comprehensively model the pedestrian, vehicular, and transit movements. The Target Field analysis and the corresponding simulation results proved to be a very powerful tool to illustrate the intersection areas, connectivity areas, and the potential areas for congestion perceived by stakeholder or the public, such as 7th Street, 5th Street/5th Avenue N intersection, and the LRT platforms. For the People’s Stadium, the ALPS program will model and portray the multimodal environment in 2D with a 3D option to illustrate and communicate the actual effect on travel in the project area based on concepts developed for all modes.

Using multimodal ALPS analysis offers the following benefits:

■ Previously approved methodology based on analysis completed for Hennepin County

■ Multimodal analysis of pedestrians, vehicles, and transit within one comprehensive model

■ Visualization capabilities for effective communication with stakeholders and the public

■ Detailed analytical results to quantify congestion and identify targeted mitigation improvements
