The Rebuild by Design: Hudson River project represents the continued commitment of the State of New Jer.say to equip its
J communities and infrastructure to face the severe effects of climate change and extreme weather events like Hurricane
Sandy.

Recognizing the significant accomplishments of the State and project stakeholders on the Rebuild by Design Hudson River
project over the last few years. AECOM Technical Services. Inc. and AECOM Architects & Engineers (NJ), Inc. (AECOM) is
grateful for the opportunity to work with the New Jersey Department of the Treasury. Division of Property Management and
Construction and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Flood Resilience (DPMC/DEPJ, on this
important project.

We appreciate the hard work that has gone into managing the process from concept through the Feasibility Study and Draft
EIS: building stakeholder consensus along the way. The heavy lift of creating a viable Preferred Alternative and getting
to the Final EIS and Record of Decision is almost done_ AECOM is ready, willing, and able to now work in partnership with
DPMC/DEP to move the project into the next phase - through final design and construction, to the ultimate goal of creating
an independent utility by September 2022.

We are committed to achieving your goals on the project with a collaborative, efficient and flexible approach as a partner
who is able to effectively achieve compliant. constructed results on a strict schedule.

Project Understanding and our Commitment to Resiliency Goals -A safer, more resilient. more secure New Jersey is
the goal of this project DPMC/DEP. FEMA, HUD, USACE, EPA. FTA and the mayors and citizens of the area will all benefit for
generations to come from this project's successful outcome AECOM has been involved in many aspects of this resiliency
effort working alongside the community and stakeholders. For example.

The United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction has designated the City of Hoboken, New Jersey, USA. as a Role
Model City of the Making Cities Resilient campaign for its flood nsk management practices: only the second such role
model city in the United States. AECOM collaborated with the UNISDR to create the first resiliency scorecard using the ten
essentials outlined in the Making Cities Resilient campaign.

The post Hurricane Sandy Rebuild by Design (RBD) resiliency competition awarded Hoboken the funds to implement a
comprehensive "Resist. Delay, Store, Discharge· water management strategy that will protect Hoboken, Weehawken and
northern Jersey City from flooding. AECOM has been leading the work to implement the next phase of two other RBD
projects: Lower Manhattan Coastal Resiliency (LMCR) for the NYC Office of Resihency and Recovery and NYC Economic
Development Corporation and the Meadowlands project for DPMC/OEP and is intimately familiar with the requirements and
challenges of this type of project

Hurricane Sandy significantly impacted New Jersey's public transit systems. Commuter rail service was disrupted for
months in what has been described by the President's Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force as "the worst disaster for
public transit systems in the nation's history." Commuters from Hoboken, Weehawken and Jersey City were scrambling
to get to and from their jobs for weeks. NJ Transit chose AECOM to provide design, engineering, construction
assistance and other technical services for the NJ TransltGrld Project to bring resilient distributed generation area rail
and bus stations.

)
As a result of Superstorm Sandy. Hoboken alone susta·ned over $1 00 million in private property damage and $10 million
in public property damage. But it doesn't take a storm of the century to impact residents and our economy. Localized
flooding continues to plague communities. even during moderate rainfall events. This Rebuild by Design-Hudson River
Design and Construction Administration Services term contract is a key response to changing conditions and is being
followed by communit ies throughout North America.

AECOM Is excited for the opportunity to continue as DPMC/DEP's partner to Implement the projects and
Innovations that wlll protect our citizens and livelihood for years to come. I can be contacted by email at Christopher.
Benosky@aecom com or by phone at 908.670.1036 and will be happy t o provide any additional information you may
require.

 Our Transdisciplinary Approach

Many firms will provide clients with "multi-disciplinary" teams, but just having
multiple disciplines at the project table does not ensure that the team, nor the
solution, will be integrated and fully responsive. "Multi" describes the composition
of a team, but it does not describe how a team behaves or executes its process. A
transdisciplinary approach is distinct because its primary goal is to understand the
present problem through an overarching and unified knowledge of the site and the
design, and not let the focus be on or controlled by specific disciplines.

A transdisciplinary approach is about deliberately crossing the boundaries of many

disciplines to create a systemic approach to the design. This directly applies to
large scale design efforts focused on solving flood risk management challenges.
Flood water crosses over many physical boundaries, and by doing so. it demands
an alignment between many disciplines. The boundless nature of flood water
also demands that our teams execute integrated behavior, knowledge transfer,
and the cross-pollination of disciplines. Transdisciplinary teams will, by nature of
their structure, determine what the most relevant design issues are and they will
0 be showcased in the interdependency mapping. Superior design will be informed
by the diversity of perspectives on the team and collected by open discussion.

Our process for developing this team centered around those partners that could
bring immediate knowledge of the Hudson River Project through prior working
experience. In addition to these partners. we included teaming partners that have
experience working directly with AECOM on similar programs. We know that this
project has to have a team that is collaborative. efficient and flexible. Below is

urban water strategy deploys programmed hard infrastructure and soft
landscape for coastal defense (resist): policy recommendations. guidelines. and
urban infrastructure to slow rainwater runoff (delay): a circuit of interconnected
green infrastructure to store and direct excess rainwater (store): and water
pumps and alternative routes to support drainage (discharge). The team has an
existing relationship with the stakeholder groups of the project. During the earlier
phases, the OMA team actively engaged with a wide a range of stakeholders
through presentations. workshops and meetings to educate the community and
the design team on the costs and benefits of protecting Hoboken and living with
water. They presented at multiple events and mediated differences between
groups through the shared objective of resilience. OMA will continue to engage
stakeholders and neighborhoods as we move into the next phase of the
project to ensure seem less interactions with impacted communities.

work orders
separate from the current RBD Meadowlands project team-but
equally qualified in terms of experience and expertise-under the
direction of the same project executive, Chris Benosky.

We've created a flexible, efficient management structure

Successful work order execution will be the responsibility of the project
manager and deputy project manager aided by the disipline leads. Our AECOM
project executive, Chris Benosky, has the authority to commit corporate
staffing resources and negotiate contracts. He will be the primary point of
contact for contractual matters and will be responsible for the overall financial
administration of the contract, and will conduct periodic "How are we doing"
audits with DPMC/DEP. Karen Appell, our project manager, will be the primary
point of contact on all technical matters and will be responsible for the overall
financial administration and delivery of services under the contract. Heather
Morgan. our deputy project manager, has a strong background in integrating
landscape architecture, urban design. and water resource management into
sustainable landscapes. This experience, combined with Karen's engineering
skills, will provide a balanced approach between engineering and design and
between the water and the community.

We have the depth of expertise to meet all your needs

Technical resource personnel from AECOM will support the management team
in the production and management of each work order, including the technical
oversight of our team's subconsultants. We have technical leaders that will head
up the main disciplines that we anticipate will be required to perform the project
requirements . The specific roles and responsibilities of the entire dedicated team
and a summary of their individual qualifications are detailed in Section 3 of this

NJDEP, Rebuild By Design Hudson River

Associate in charge. 2015-2017. In 2014, OMA's proposal for ·Resist. Delay, Store.
Discharge" was awarded $230 million in Federal funding as a result of the Rebuild
by Design competition. The OMA team has been engaged as a subconsultant in the
Feasibility Study and EIS Phases from 2015-2017.

OMA's initial approach was framed by a desire to understand and quantify flood
risk. Within the Sandy-affected region, New Jersey's communities of Jersey City,
Hoboken and Weehawken are susceptible to both flash flood and storm surge. As
integrated urban environments, discreet one-house-at-a-time solutions do not make
sense. Thus, OMA proposed a comprehensive urban water strategy that deploys
programmed hard infrastructure and soft landscape for coastal defense (resist); policy
recommendations. guidelines, and urban infrastructure to slow rainwater runoff (delay):
a circuit of interconnected green infrastructure to store and direct excess rainwater
(store); and water pumps and alternative routes to support drainage (discharge). As the
OMA associate in charge of the Feasibility Study and EIS stages. responsible for the
day-to-day management of the project and the project team. overseeing the content
development and graphic output. Led presentations to the prime consultant. project

HUD Compliance

Kevin Hamby has been involved in working with federally funded programs since 2005-
and specifically with CDBG-DR funds. Kevin has applied his expertise to state and
local governments providing program design, procurement, policies and procedures
development. operational plans, implementation guidance. and issue resolution for
technical problems that are encoutered during the implementation process.

Kevin brings more than a decade of experience in CDBG-DR management to projects.

Kevin has helped clients with program design. program management. and legal
compliance, to achieve effective results on programs related to HUD funding, Fair
Housing, Davis Bacon compliance and Section 3 policy requirements. In addition to
comprehensive work with federal programs administered by the Department of Housing
and Urban Development. Kevin has also worked with cross cutting federal requirements
including allowable costs and expenditures (formerly OMB circulars) and other advisories
on allowable activities.

Kevin is currently working with AECOM to ensure program compliance with HUD on the
RBD New Meadowlands project.

NJ DPMC/DEP. Rebuild By Design New Meadowlands, NJ

Working closely with AECOM to ensure that the program is in compliance with HUD CDBG
regulations and other cross cutting federal compliance. Reviewed and incorporated State
of New Jersey requirements for Section 3 and Disadvantaged Businesses into policies for
performance as these will also be monitored by HUD and HUD OIG. Developed an internal
monitoring program to review the Meadowlands team for compliance with HUD policies to
detect issues prior to HUD monitoring visits.

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita (Texas)

As the General Counsel for TDHCA, Kev in wrote and directed many of the policies used
by Texas consistent with Federai Register Notice providing funds to Texas. Many people
are unaware that Texas received several hundred thousand relocations from New Orleans
to Houston. Kevin worked with the federal government for nec essary waivers to housing
programs and he development community to allow people with living spaces t o accept
temporary residents. In addition. shortly after Katrina hit Louisiana and Texas. a stronger
storm hit East Texas. Kevin coordinated the activities and worked t o design a program
that allowed Texas to rebuild housing in small communities in East Texas rather than
the compensation program utilized in Louisiana's Road Home program. The program
successfully built several thousand homes for low income Texans. Civil rights advocates
testified before Congress that the program was effective and should be used in other
disasters.

Drew Gangnes, PE, SE

Site/Civil Engineering

Drew is a senior principal at MKA and leads the firm's civil engineering practice. His
31-year design portfolio reflects an emphasis on civil site design for high-profile,
architectural and landscape projects with complex engineering challenges. He has
led the civil engineering design on sites up to 178 hectares (440 acres}. several LEED
Platinum projects, multiple sites on the National Mall in Washington, DC. a complete
resculpting of historic Governors Island in New York Harbor. and rejuvenation of Seattle's
waterfront with Olympic Sculpture Park (recognized as the top engineering achievement
in the nation in 2008 by ACEC). Along with his rare ability to translate architectural
designs into effective and efficient civil engineering solutions. Drew has a passion for site
and water sustainability and is nationally recognized for his pioneering green roof, water
balance analysis, and stormwater management innovations.

Olympic Sculpture Park, Seattle, WA

Civil/shoring principal in charge for 3.4-hectare (8.5-acre) outdoor park for the Seattle
Art Museum, designed as a continuous plane crossing over existing infrastructure.
highlighting sculpture and connecting the urban core to a revitalized waterfront. MKA's
civil design addressed the challenges of two brownfield sites and a 0.8-hectare (2-acre}
parking lot bisected by railroad lines and an arterial road. A 670-m (2.200-ft) Z-shaped
walkway. sloping continuously downhill, begins at the main pavilion building and ends at
the waterfront. The gentle 5-percent slope was possible through the addition and careful
grading of 191,130 m 3 (250.000 yd 3} of imported fill, 76,450 m 3 (100,000 yd 3 ) of which was
excavated from a second nearby MKA project (thus eliminating the additional expense
and environmental impact of traditional transport}. The high-silt-content imported dirt
also capped existing brownfield contamination. MKA developed a new "decoupled" form
of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE} walls to shape the significant quantities of soil that
form the park, a cost-effective alternative to traditional cast-in-place concrete retaining
walls. An existing decaying seawall was buttressed with a riprap fill that extends 46 m
(150 ft) into the water and includes a fish habitat bench. MKA's solutions also include
unique use of an existing tunnel under Elliott Avenue to channel storm water runoff
directly to Elliott Bay (avoiding the need for detention), a new pocket beach amenity, and
relocation of 244 m (800 ft) of existing sewer and water lines.

West B, Governors Island Park and Public Space, NY

Civil principal in charge for 48.2-hectare (119-acre} park on an island in the heart of New
York Harbor, destined to be an iconic public space. Civil elements include providing the
engineering underpinnings for the landscape design vision of "transformation through
topography" of this currently flat site. This involves importing some 382.263 ml (500,000
yds 3 } of soil. placing it in new hills up to 21 -m- (70-ft-) tall and, in some cases, near-vertical
slopes. MKA's solutions include three-dimensional modeling of the complex topography
to suit the lead designer's vision, including the careful insertion of universally accessible
paths to the top of the two tallest new hills.

the adjoining urban environment and the interaction between the urban environment
and the adjoining coastal waters. A large part of his work is in the creation of ocean
observing and forecasting systems which are used for environmental studies, surface
vessel operations. and for securing the future safety and sustainability of urban coastal
regions. His research makes use of numerical models. laboratory experiments and field
measurements. Long-term research interests address new perspectives on the evolution
of urban-environment interactions to create sustainable and resilient 21st century
coastal city regions.

Dr. Blumberg is presently leading several major studies to predict and assess storm
flooding events in New York and New Jersey. He is working with the NY City Mayor's office
on the effects of sea level rise on coastal flooding, with the NJ Governor's Office on state-
wide storm surge reduction alternatives and with NASA and NOAA assessing impacts
from storms of the future. He worked in every major estuary in the United States and
many coastal environments around the world including the North West Approaches. and
the coastal waters offshore of Norway and around the island of Oahu.

Dr. Blumberg currently serves as a member UCAR's UCACN. a body of scientists,

triaxial testing of lab samples and vane shear testing. John was the Lead Geotechnical
Engineer for 7.5 miles of levees (LPV 109.02a) of this $170M project in New Orleans East
utilizing wick drains. highstrength geotextiles. and deep mixing methods for ground
improvement. The existing levees were raised approximately four to seven feet with a
protected side raise on virgin ground. The new levee construction required embankment
construction in two stages to heights of 18 to 22 feet above existing grades of the
tidal marsh. The raises were accomplished with the use of stability berms. wick drains
and high-strength geotextiles. Soil-cement mixing (deep mixing) was utilized under
the drainage structures and pump stations. The design methodology and challenges
included: a SEEP /W finite-element seepage analysis in the design of the drainage blanket
and wick drains: a fully instrumented test embankment with three wick drain spacing's
(3 ft.. 5 ft., and 7 ft.) to optimize the wick drain design; the slope stability analyses with
highstrength geotextiles: site characterization of soft clays with triaxial shear UU testing.

flooding for the Flood Hazard Area permit. To address real estate
and operational restrictions AECOM developed designs of several
different flood control systems to suit the unique conditions in the
different quadrants of the plant. including:
• Earthen levee enlargements,
• T-walls and I-walls,
• Raising of an existing concrete lagging wall, and
• A steel pipe pile/sheet pile bulkhead/floodwall .

AECOM provided geotechnical engineering services, including

development and oversight of a soil sampling and testing program,
stability analyses for the levee enlargements and new floodwalls:
and underseepage analyses. To maintain a level of protection
during hurricane and winter flood seasons, foundations were
designed to facilitate the installation of temporary flood protection
systems during the construction period. Both deep and shallow
foundations were used. Deep foundation systems included drilled
shafts, micro-piles, and steel sheet piling. Underseepage reduction
systems consist of bentonite-cementjet grout and steel sheet pile
curtain walls. as well as embankment toe drains. The underseepage
reduction system is designed to limit underseepage flows to a
J volume that the plant's existing interior drainage and pumping
system can handle.

Structural engineering included design of new T-walls and I-walls,

retrofits to the existing lagging floodwall, combination steel pipe
pile/sheet pile bulkheadlfloodwall, swing gates, and diaphragm
cellular walls.

Civil engineering efforts included site work and grading,

modifications to existing interior storm water pumping systems,
