Re: Proposal for the Performance of Expert Professional Construction Management and
Related Technical Services As Requested on a Call-In Basis during 2011 through
2014RFP #22094

Dear Mr. Volonakis:

As an operator of critical regional transportation facilities and owner of properties throughout the Metro
New York/New Jersey region, The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ), requires
construction management (CM) and related technical services to make sure that these facilities are
maintained, protected, expanded and upgraded accordingly in order to take advantage of the latest
technology and materials which would help it manage its properties more efficiently and cost-effectively.

The PANYNJ is seeking firms qualified to provide CM and other services, including inspections,
constructability and design reviews, contract administration, and construction estimating and scheduling,
and overall management of contractors, to assist the Authority in carrying out the construction and
upgrades of these critical facilities. URS would be proud to continue to work closely with the Authority, as
an extension of your staff, to provide the services that will be needed to ensure their optimum operation
well into the 21st Century.

Extensive PANYNJ Call-In Experience


We believe URS is particularly well qualified to assist you, as we have been working collaboratively with
the Port Authority for decades providing environmental, planning, design, security, inspection, program,
and construction management services for your facilities, including for the past 10 years on several
Call-In contracts, including construction management services. These projects included $2 billion worth
of work at Newark-Liberty International Airport, including the new FAA control tower, a 4-story, 3,200
vehicle parking garage, a 6-story, 6,000 vehicle parking garage, the southern access roadway expansion
project, a new administrative building, the northside cargo area redevelopment and the airport utility
system upgrade.

During this time we have worked at virtually every Port Authority facility, on billions of dollars of
maintenance, renovation, expansion and new construction projects for every Line Department. In
addition, URS has provided expert program and project management services on as-needed basis to the
PANYNJ Capital and Major Works Program on numerous aviation, tunnels, bridges and terminal projects.

In addition to the PANYNJ Call-In assignments, URS has served as your Program Manager for JFK

International Airport since 1987. Through our decades of working with you on these assignments, we
know your mission, your people, your culture, and your methods of operation. Perhaps most importantly,
we know how to work as an efficient member of your team.

Call-In Assignments are the core of our CM Business


Approximately 60% of URS regional assignments are Call-In assignments. Through this experience as
we know how to respond quickly and effectively to any task that would be assigned to us. In addition to
the PANJNY Call-In, we have provided Call-In services for over 20 LIRR projects and more than a dozen
NYSOGS assignments.
Unlimited Resources to Address any Issue that May Arise
For most of this decade, Engineering News Record, ranked URS as the largest A/E/C firm in the nation.
With a staff of approximately 42,000 professionals, we truly have a resource of technical expertise that is
second to none and we will gladly make that expertise available to you to meet any need you may have
during the execution of your 2011 2014 construction program. As required, we will assign professional
engineers, and we far exceed your minimum requirements to assign ACI Concrete Construction Special
Inspectors, ICC Structural Steel and Bolting Inspectors, and NACE Level I Coating Inspectors to any
project.

A Proven Project Executive and Staff with the Requisite PANYNJ Experience
To make certain we efficiently supply personnel who will provide you satisfactory service, we have
assigned David Beckett, a URS Vice President, to oversee the execution of our work. Mr. Beckett has
been the executive on numerous NY/NJ region Call-In assignments (including PANYNJ) and has always
provided the right mix of professionals to successfully complete any construction project on time and
within budget. In, addition, most of the staff we will provide to you will have either PANYNJ and/or local
Call-In experience.

We look forward to continuing our long history of working successfully with you.

Very Truly Yours,

URS CorporationNew York

roadway and entrance plaza via a double helix. The garage is constructed
of precast concrete and has two internal elevators, as well as escalators to
expedite the flow of passenger traffic to the two new pedestrian bridges.

The garage was designed with an internal ramp in order to facilitate its
early opening thus allowing use of the facility within one year of NTP. A
second fast track project involved the addition of extra lanes as well as at-
grade roadways at the front of Terminal C. Coordination of these two
contracts was critical to both of their success. Included in the roadway
package was extensive utility work, which included storm drainage,
power, and communications.

Project/Global Gateway - P-4 Garage


URS also provided construction management services for the
construction of this $95 million P4 Parking Garage housing over 6,000
vehicles. This project involved the construction of six (6) floor parking
structure with lower floor being occupied, counter rotating helix ramps,
entry ramps, and exit ramps clockwise. Project responsibilities involves
field inspection, contract administration, ie, progress meetings, progress
minutes, change orders, net cost, monthly payments, coordinate available
areas for facility use, partial and final inspections, and field testing of
various equipments.

Southern Access Roadway Expansion Project (SARP I)


URS provided construction management services for the $45 million
redevelopment of the access road. The project involved increasing the
entry wall and exit roadway capacity to constructing a new entry roadway
system, widening existing bridge structures and building new bridge
structures. Field inspection was coordinated to include controlled
inspections, document control, payment requisitions, change orders and
staging. Work was performed while maintaining access to the airport for
an average of 18,000 vehicles per day, which required complex staging
and aggressive scheduling. Elements of the project involved widening
four bridges, two new brides (including structural steel and concrete),
construction of South Directory Road, realignment and widening of
Brewster Road.

Building 1 (New Administration Building)


URS provided construction management services for this $35 million New Administration Building. Project
involved relocation and rehabilitation of a 65 year old, 35,000 square foot two-story national historic
monument for adaptive reuse as Newark Airports Administration Building plus construction of a 65,000
square foot structure housing Air Rescue, Fire Fighting, Airport Security and Airport Operations personnel
and equipment. URS reviewed 30%, 60% and For-Bid contract documents, coordinated with airports
operations, law enforcement and maintenance personnel, and managed multiple construction contracts.

URS has served as Program Manager for the Port Authority (PA) of New York & New Jersey for
the large and complex Redevelopment Program at John F. Kennedy (JFK) International Airport
since 1987. The goal of the Redevelopment Program was to balance the capacity of the landside
access system with the capacity of the existing airside system in order to improve passenger service
levels, thereby reinforcing Kennedy's position as the nation's premier international gateway and
contributing to the long-term economic growth and vitality of the region.

The needs of the landside access plan and infrastructure upgrade anticipated serving the projected
45-50 million annual air passengers passing through JFK by 2015. The improvements include
roadways and utilities, terminal buildings, parking facilities and new AirTrain Light Rail System
interface that optimize the movement of passengers, cargo, tenants and employees while maintaining
on-going airport operations.

The program consisted of these major elements:


A new Air Traffic Control Tower
Terminal Improvements, encompassing new terminal construction and complete redevelopment
Interfaces between Terminal complexes and the AirTrain Light Rail System (providing multiple access
points to the regional mass transit system)
New Parking Facilities
Reconfiguration of Airport Roadways and Terminal Frontages
Upgrade and Modernization of the Airport Utility Infrastructure
A 90-Megawatt Cogeneration Plant
Private Investment Projects

URS responsibilities included program management; developing and implementing a cost

URS ROLE / INNOVATIONS


Document Control: Used as an important Program tool,
the document control system is designed to capture all
program documentation for legal, fiscal, administrative and
historical purposes. This system provides a method of
document storage and retrieval for program coordination
and management. The success of the document control system at
JFK led URS to develop similar systems for managing projects at
major airports in Boston, San Francisco and Fort Lauderdale.

MIS Solutions: URS, through its program controls group,


established a state-of-the-art computerized document
archiving system that was utilized by the Port Authority
and the various project team members. In addition to
establishing and administering a Local Area Network, URS
developed and implemented an innovative computerized
executive level Management report system: Aviation

Utility Management System (UMS): A Utility Management System based on a Geographical


Information System, AutoCAD and a relational database has been developed to facilitate ongoing
design and construction activities and provide a comprehensive record of utility systems. Data
collected from various sources is assessed and analyzed. Anomalies or information deficiencies are
identified and researched. Upon verification, which may entail field surveys, data is confirmed,
reviewed for accuracy and completeness, and then incorporated into the UMS. This system has
documented previously overlooked or abandoned utilities and airport managers have also found it to
be very useful in the operation and maintenance of the various utility systems, including avoiding
damage during construction.

Construction Contract Audits: On-site construction contract audits, were performed to confirm
that the contractors were in compliance with the management plans that established the scope, cost,
schedule, and quality goals for the program.

Public Information: Public information bulletins are prepared by URS in conjunction with Port
Authority staff to inform primary users (e.g. taxis, buses, tenants, etc.) of upcoming changes that
affect landside operations. Presentations are prepared for diverse audiences, ranging from domestic
and foreign airport authorities, to airlines, professional and civic organizations.

Working in Occupied Facilities and 24/7 Operations: Virtually all of the construction described
above, involved either the reconstruction or replacement of utilities, roadways or buildings that
were, in most cases, operating at or near capacity. This was accomplished with extensive planning to
provide swing areas and temporary facilities to minimize the disruption to airport operations.

Hazmat Abatement: JFKs terminal buildings were constructed in the 1950s and 60s and
therefore required complete asbestos abatement of fire proofing, insulation of mechanical
equipment and piping, building partitions and roofing materials.

Complex MEP Program: Work in the CH&RP included the staged removal and replacement of all
chillers and boilers in addition to the installation of cogeneration equipment. Since it was not
feasible to construct a new facility, all of this work had to be accomplished while the
plant was kept in continuous operation.

Management of Multiple Design and Construction Teams: The numerous individual projects
comprising this program were achieved with the combination of Port Authority in-house
engineering, Redevelopment Team design consultants, design and construction groups engaged by
airlines and DBOM agreements negotiated by the Redevelopment Program.

Security of Operations: As the largest international airport in the US, the FAA included JFK in the
select group of airports required to comply with the highest standards for security. This meant that
security associated with airport construction had to be distinguished among three categories; public
areas, aeronautical operations and federal control zones. Extensive planning and coordination was
required as construction regularly spanned across security zone boundaries.

As Newark-Liberty International Airport grows to meet its increasing passenger volumes, numerous
projects have been undertaken to improve the airports terminal area facilities. Ranked among the
Top 5 busiest international air gateways to the U.S., Newark Airport handles approximately 33
million passengers annually. URS was part of this improvement effort, providing construction
management and project controls services for terminal and transportation improvements from 1994
to 2001.

In service since November 2001, the Monorail North East Corridor Extension connects rail
services operated by the New Jersey Transit Corporation (NJ Transit) on its North East Corridor
(NEC) with the existing airport monorail that connects airport terminals to long-term parking and
car rental facilities. Air passengers and airport employees are provided with additional links to rail
transit lines from New York City, North and Central New Jersey including Amtrak service.

URS provided project controls and construction management services for the construction, retrofit,
and expansion of the airports monorail system. This 3.5-mile dual track people mover transports
airport passengers and employees from north and south long-term parking lots and the northeast
corridor rail station to each of the airports three passenger terminals. URS was brought in when the
monorail project began to experience schedule and budget problems.

URS assisted in developing recommendations to prevent further delays and cost escalations. Our
services included overseeing and scheduling the work of contractors, engineers, and technicians;
instituting engineering changes; providing project controls, including scheduling and reporting;
assisting in the development of testing and commissioning; and ensuring that all contractual
obligations are met.

URS success on the initial 2.5-mile (Phase I contract) led to additional work on the 1-mile extension
(Phase II) and finally the $50 million Guideway Retrofit Program (Phase III).

PROPOSED MANAGEMENT APPROACH


Management Objectives and Overview
URS has a thorough understanding of the nature of Call-In / Task Order Contracts by virtue of
our performance on similar contracts with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
(PANYNJ), as well as other agencies and authorities. We are currently providing these exact same
services for the Port Authority under our Construction Management Services on a Call-In basis for
years 2006-2010.

Because of the quick turnaround required on these assignments, the Management of this contract
requires an individual with a diverse technical background, a through understanding of Port
Authority operations, and a very hands-on approach to getting the work done. The primary goals of
the Principal-in-Charge, Mr. David Beckett, PE, for this contract is to quickly identify the technical
needs for a given assignment, to mobilize the necessary staff in a matter of a few days.

It is critical that the appropriate staff be made readily available to provide the skills required for each

Our efforts to provide an overall constructability and bidability assessment will assist the contractors
in gaining a clearer understanding of each assignment scope of work. This will also result in the
elimination of contingencies and assumptions that are included in many contractors costs due to
uncertainty in the scope of work.

Task B Construction Staging


URS will prepare an overall construction staging and sequencing plan. The plans will clearly indicate
the necessary work sequence, staging areas, construction access and property available for
construction during the project. Led by the Authoritys Resident Engineer and our Construction
Manager we will employ the services of our technical experts to devise creative approaches to the
various elements of the work. Significant issues for staging
involve the means, methods and timing of the work. Our
objective is to develop an aggressive but realistic approach
to the work. Utilizing the developed plans, specific
contract language for interim milestone completion dates
will be suggested for inclusion in the contract bid
documents.

It will be the contractors responsibility to develop and


implement detailed Construction Staging and Work Plans
in compliance with the contract documents. It is not
intended that the staging plans be overly restrictive as to
eliminate the creativity of the prospective bidders. In many
instances, construction contractors have developed unique
approaches to project execution, which have translated into cost and schedule savings. URS will
work with the Authority, the contractor and the designer to ensure the most cost effective staging
plan.

As Construction Managers, URS will draw upon the collective knowledge and experience of our site
staff to review, assess and approve the contractors proposed Work Plans. Should deficiencies exist,

Once acceptable Construction Staging Plans and/or Work Plans are agreed upon, URS field staff
will monitor, verify and report compliance. During the course of construction, it may become
necessary or desirable for the Authority and/or the contractor to initiate modifications to the staging
and work plans. In such an event, the URS Construction Manager, under the direction of the
Authoritys Resident Engineer, will assist the contractor in developing acceptable alternatives for the
approval of the Authority.

Our team of schedulers, engineers, and seasoned construction professionals will review each facility
to determine the most effective and productive plan to execute the work. Consideration of each
facilitys operational requirements and restrictions will be carefully reviewed. Suggestions for the
following components will be addressed for each assignment:
Utility shutdown
Track outages
Swing space
Accommodations
Temporary construction
Storage and staging areas

URS will place a great emphasis on reviewing the characteristics of each Authority facility and
evaluating the staging needs, as each facility will have its own special requirements.

Task C Schedule Development and Monitoring


URS will support the Authority by developing a Project Construction Schedule indicating major
components of work to be accomplished. With input from the Engineer of Record and the
Authority, we will prepare a computer-generated schedule integrating the work for the entire
contract period into the overall Project Construction Schedule in CPM format. This schedule will
be submitted to the Authority for review and approval. It will not replace the construction
contractors' schedule preparation and submittal
requirements. It will, however, incorporate all requisite
Port Authority and external agency reviews / approvals
(e.g., permits, approvals), bid cycles for the contract
packages, construction phasing, staging of all work
activities, and temporary relocation/workaround activities.

By developing a CPM schedule with this level of detail, the


Authoritys Engineer of Construction and the Construction
Management Team will possess the necessary information
and tools to evaluate the contractor's schedule for accuracy,
feasibility and completeness.

The scheduling on projects should be developed on at least


two levels, a summary level in which various project
milestones are accomplished and a detailed level in which each subcontract is examined and tied to
the overall project schedule. The activities defined in each schedule will be coordinated so the
impact of changes in the detailed network can be easily represented in the summary schedule.

At each phase, schedules will be closely coordinated with project participants and
stakeholders in order to attain consensus on preliminary concepts, identify opportunities for
schedule compression and fast-tracking and establish desirable contract
durations.

complete analysis of the contractor's monthly submittal for presentation to the Authority. Our staff
will work closely with the contractor to develop alternative approaches to the work schedule, as
situations require. We will assist the contractor in correcting any schedule deficiencies and expedite
progress.

URS, with its team of schedulers, has been working on Port Authority projects throughout the
metropolitan area. Our schedulers utilize Primavera CPM software on many of our projects, and it
has successfully provided results as an effective management tool. Our scheduling projects have
included projects involving all facilities such as airports, transit, ports, bridges, tunnels, terminals,
and a multitude of building facilities. Our detailed project schedulers have included manpower
allocations, cost loading, look aheads, and what-if scenarios to assist both our clients and their
contractors in managing the network of construction activities required to achieve successful results.

URS, as one of the largest A/E/C firm in the nation, has an enormous resource of technical
knowledge. With nationally recognized experts in every discipline, we can meet any requirement, no
matter how specialized. In addition, and, more importantly for this specific assignment, we have a
workforce that is well in excess of 3,000 professionals in New York City and the immediate
surrounding area. Therefore, we have, right here, resources that will be more than ample to meet
the Authoritys needs and we expect to be able to meet them by drawing
exclusively on our local workforce. In all of our Port Authority
assignments whether under call-in contracts or under contract for a URS is fortunate to

for over 20 years. During that time we have had multiple assignments at
airports, rail facilities, port facilities, terminal facilities and both bridge and
tunnel facilities, on projects that cover the full range of the Authoritys transportation portfolio.
Therefore we have a workforce that is specifically familiar, not only with the Authoritys technical
requirements, but also with the Authoritys culture, protocols for project execution, control systems
and all databases. This workforce has a history of working collaboratively and effectively with
Authority personnel.

URS will provide comprehensive quality management and inspection services to encompass all
construction management and contractor activities for the project effort. This effort will be in
accordance with the Authority's program and QA / QC programs implemented by the contractor.

The Quality Management and Inspection program will cover all aspects of the project, from initial
review of specifications and drawings through procurement of materials. This will include shop
surveys and shop inspection for major components and critical items, and an on-site program of
test, inspection, and documentation during the construction phase of the project.

Activities affecting quality will be clearly defined and accomplished under suitable controlled
conditions. Responsibilities and authority for administration of quality assurance / inspection and
completion of work along with the standards of quality to be applied will be clearly defined.

The major elements of the program will include the following:


Performance (as required) of surveys, pre-production
meetings, and source inspections on critical and long-
lead-time equipment and material at seller's facilities
and reporting on the progress of fabrication to provide
current planning information.
Document control verifications to ensure that the latest

It is expected that the contractor will be responsible for the preparation and implementation of a
comprehensive Health & Safety Program addressing every element of the work, including safety in
design and construction. The Program must address safety as it relates to the long-term safe
operations and maintenance of the projects. Safety during construction is paramount. A significant
portion of the construction activities will be on or adjacent to active airports, bridges, tunnels,
roadways, terminals, ports, and railroads. The contractor cannot allow the safety of the staff
workers and the traveling public to be compromised for any reason. URS will review, evaluate and
recommend approval of the contractor's Health & Safety Program in the initial stages of the project.
During construction, we will monitor its implementation for compliance with the approved
Program.

Task E Contract Administration


A key element in the success of the Authoritys construction projects will be controlled coordination
of interfacing work activities between the contractors and all outside agencies. Coordination of the
daily activities will be the chief duty of the Construction Managers on behalf of the Authoritys
Resident Engineer who will provide the one-to-one link with the specific contractors performing the
actual work, and the inspection staff who will provide the Construction Managers with specific
information regarding the detailed performance of the work of the contractors. The inspection staff
will ensure that all work conforms to the applicable codes, specifications, and drawings.

URS will approach this task as "coordination" of the work, that is, serving
as support to, as opposed to "doing" the work. We clearly appreciate the Our staff has a sharp

upcoming work, monitoring scheduled progress, updating the CPM
network diagrams, monitoring equipment and material deliveries,
developing input data for the monthly computer reports, and most importantly, detecting any
schedule slippage at an early stage and developing recommended corrective action to be taken in
support of project milestones.

Other meetings of involved participants will be scheduled on a case-by-case basis when determined
necessary by the Construction Managers or the Authority's Engineer of Construction.

Purposes of these meetings would include:


Coordinating interfaces between the Authority, the contractor/ subcontractors and outside
agencies with pertinent jurisdictions
Addressing schedule slippage

Accurate minutes will be recorded for each meeting to report the date, time, location, purpose,
participants, discussions, and conclusions / agreements. When appropriate, the minutes will also
include action items specifying the recommended courses of action and time frames agreed to by the
meeting participants. The minutes will be reviewed by the participants, and copies will be
distributed to the Authority and participants for follow-up as appropriate.

URS will utilize the Authoritys procedures that assign responsibility and establish the level of
authority for initiating, evaluating, accomplishing, and approving changes. These procedures are
precise and provide for a full evaluation of the impact of the change, as well as emphasize the need
to minimize changes.

After contract award, contract changes may be required due to items such as scope of work changes,
specification of drawing revisions, changes in labor rates, or price
adjustments. These changes will be reviewed and, if approved, will be
formalized as part of the contract. During all stages of our

The Construction Manager will check for supporting documentation such as certified payrolls, paid
invoices for stored materials, subcontractor releases and waivers. They will also check deductions
for retainage, previous payments, and other reserves prior to recommending payment of contractor
requisitions. Monthly cost reports will be updated to reflect the value of work completed by the
contractors and the value of additional work to be performed.

Our Office Engineer will be responsible for the maintenance of the project files and general office
administration. Working with our Construction Managers, the Office Engineer will establish a
detailed correspondence log, which will provide the Construction Managers and the Authority with a
complete status of all contractual correspondence. We will utilize Expedition software package as
the document control system. In addition to correspondence management the system provides for
shop drawing management, request for information control, budget tracking and control, change
order administration, etc. making this system the management information system of choice for
URS.

Task F Cost Engineering / Estimating Services


URS is fully prepared to provide all required cost estimating services needed for the Authoritys
projects. We have a team of professional cost estimators
who have successfully completed numerous transportation
projects in the New York / New Jersey metropolitan area.
They are experienced in all aspects of cost estimating, from
pre-design conceptual to material take-offs and unit price
estimating. URS will avail itself of all the latest technology
in the industry to assure the Authority of the highest quality
cost estimating services.

Re: Exceptions to the Standard Agreement related to RFP#22094

As Requested on a Call-In Basis during 2011 through 2014
Dear Mr. Volonakis:
We have reviewed the contract language and request that the following changes be considered:
1. Insurance provisions (as provided by our insurance broker):
Section 26. A 1.: Insert "and Workers' Compensation & Employers' Liability" after "Professional
Liability" in parentheses in the fourteenth line. Delete the second to last sentence in its entirety. (URS
has an ISO Commercial General Liability policy). It is written on form CG 00 01 10 01. It, like all other
ISO General Liability policies, contains many exclusions other than the exclusion for Professional
Services. The ISO General Liability policy is a base form. Exclusions and endorsements are added to
the policy to tailor coverage to a particular insured in a particular industry. It is not possible to provide
an unendorsed ISO General Liability policy form.)
Section 23. D. 1.: Delete "including the provisions establishing premiums." URS does not release its
premium information to third parties.

2. Indemnification provisions
Section 25, first paragraph: Delete "or willful intentional".
Sections 22A and 22B: Insert "Consultant's or Subconsultants' negligent" before "performance".
Section 22D: Insert "bodily" before "injuries" on second line. Replace "of any kind whatsoever arising in
connection with the performance," with "to tangible property to the extent arising or alleged to arise out
of or in connection with the Consultant's or Subconsultants' negligent performance."

3. Somewhere within the Agreement, URS would like to include the following language:
Furthermore, the Contract Documents shall require Contractor to name the Authority and Consultant as
Additional Insureds on the General Commercial Liability and Automobile Liability Insurance Policies
obtained by Contractor.

We are available to discuss these requested changes at your convenience.
