La8eUa Proposal No. P151619
To whom it may concern:
LaBe||a Associates' D.PI.is pleased to submit our proposal to the Town of Ithaca regarding the Forest Home Wall project. We
are confident that vveare the ideal choice for this project.
Dan Walker, PE will be the Project Manager for the Forest Home Wall project. He has over 40 years of experience as a civil
engineer, with afocus onmunicipal work inthe Ithaca area. Mr. Walker also served asTown Engineer for the Town ofIthaca for
over ZUyears and isvery familiar with the Forest Home neighborhood and players involved in replacing it. Our project team in
Ithaca consists of civil and structural engineers who have the technical expertise to deliver a high quality project within the
required timeframe.
Our approach to this project will be interactive with the Forest Home Wall Task ForceTeam to include coordinated
communication with all the involved parties which include the Town Board' the Public Works Committee, and the property
owners. A minimum of three schematic design alternatives to address protecting the integrity of the building foundation,
maintaining the aesthetics ofthe property, and providing acceptable ADA pedestrian facilities will be developed along with
preliminary cost estimates. VVewill work with town staff to review the alternatives asthey are developed. Development of
preliminary alternatives will be completed within 30 days of a notice to proceed.Alternatives will include an analysis of impact
on the use ofROW and private property including need for easements, impact on pedestrian traffic, and impact on vehicular
traffic.
VVeunderstand thatneviewofa|temativeso|utionsvviUbeconductedbytheForeeLHomeVVaUTaskForce, thePub|icVVorks
Committee, and the Town Board. We are prepared to present the selected alternative at a public meeting if requested by the
Town Board. The timing of board and committee meetings will determine the review time required and therefore the total
project duration, and vveanticipate that a final project report can be completed within 120 days.
This proposal contains detailed information about our firm, experience, and approach that qualify us to be the ideal candidate
