Staff continuity drives project momentum. HR Green is
committed to assigning the same individuals, including
our key personnel, who have successfully served the City
over the years. To further address your priorities, we are
prepared to provide value-add capabilities (e.g., small
cell/5G compliance, fiber review, inspection, etc.), should
the City so desire, to further achieve Denton’s desired
development activity.
The dynamics and challenges associated with maintaining
development momentum complying with applicable
standards, laws, and regulations, requires enlisting the
services of a seasoned team with flexibility, capacity,
customer-orientation, continuity, and strong technical
competence. Our staffing structure will continue to
maximize close communication, multi-faceted capabilities,
rapid response, and accountability of our team to your
key City staff. We will provide you with the same
team that has been responsible for the development
processing success the City has achieved since our
engagement in 2018. Key personnel include:
Jim Halverson | Principal-in-Charge
Since contract inception with Denton, Jim has served in
this oversight role. He will continue in this capacity, being
accessible and dedicated to your on- and off-site needs.
Jim has been instrumental in addressing all of Denton’s key
priorities and goals under our engineering facilitation and
civil plan review contract. Moreover, his extensive municipal
sector planning experience gives him a solid foundation
in implementing best practices, processes, and proactive
communication with the Development Review Team and
developers early and often so reviews are consistently
handled in a timely and cost-effective manner.
Shaila Avatapalli, PE, PTOE, CFM | Project
Manager/Primary Point of Contact + Christian Sy

designed by the Development Services Department.
Shaila will continue to serve as your primary point
of contact. Nic Fitzgerald, PE, and Dan Deeter, PE,
will also provide as needed on-site facilitation support
when demand is high or if Shaila and/or Christian are not
available.
All four will work with our off-site reviewers to keep
tracking logs current, allowing City staff 24/7 access to the
status of development applications, cases, and reviews.
All professionals bring a well-rounded engineering, land
development facilitation, and on-site extension of staff
background that has allowed them to seamlessly transition
into Denton’s cultural fabric.
Derrik Mills, PE, CFM | Off-Site Civil Plan Review
+ Site Fire Code Task Lead
Derrik will head our off-site civil review team. He has been
instrumental in coordinating the off-site review team and

Value-Add Services
Should the City so desire, HR Green can provide a vast array of
qualified staff for these optional services:
Building Plan Review
Fiber Review
Wireless Telecommunications Facility Application Review
Land Development Inspection
Staff assigned to both on-site positions and off-site assessments must possess certain personal attributes. We assess the
individuals’ synergy, technical skills, character, innovation, teamwork, level of being proactive and exhibiting “anticipatory”
thought, flexibility, communication skills, and a servant spirit before assigning staff to your City through a thorough vetting
process to save the City valuable time and greatly streamline the mobilization process. We will continue to implement a plan
that is responsive to your needs, nimble to changing conditions, and matches the right mix of staff to the clearly defined
project. Citizens and inter/intra-agency personnel interfacing with HR Green staff must feel they are having the same
“transactional business” experience as they would with a City employee. Maintaining clear and open lines of communication
among City staff, permit applicants, developers, engineers, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders are key to successful
plan check delivery. This includes excellent interpersonal, listening, and problem-solving skills; detailed documentation;
insightful progress and staff reports; electronic plan check tools and tracking logs; mastery of your permitting system; and
building consensus to expedite reviews and approvals while mitigating issues in a spirit of constructive dialogue and harmony.
The organization chart below shows our reporting structure and task leaders followed by a staff capabilities matrix. All these
staff have provided the identical services to Denton as outlined in your Scope of Work.

Project Plan
Detailed Plan of Services &
Timeline
When HR Green formed a partnership with the City of
Denton in 2018, it was based on a shared interest in
evaluating and finding a consistent, methodological way
of processing various types of development applications.
For the last five years HR Green has strived to not
simply be a service provider but a partner that engages
in seamless and transparent process that consistently
applies standards for applicants as well as the public
officials involved in the process. This history started with
a desire to review current practices that were associated
with the engineering review process and endeavor to clear
several open cases within six months. We are pleased to
say that we were able to deliver on those expectations
and provided engineering plan review, technical support,
and facilitation for more than 5,000 applications since
inception and delivered on time to meet city deadlines.
We worked with City administration to refine the fee
structure and adopt an enterprise model with a fee
schedule and collection process.
Due to changing situations and staffing levels, HR Green
has been able to deliver technical services needed by the
City. These services have included traffic control plan
reviews, building permit reviews, concrete reviews, pump
and lift station reviews, TDP traffic controls, and providing
construction phase services, determining roadway impact
fees and reviewing Exhibit A’s.
We have in place a highly interactive team with significant
technical depth that is familiar with Denton’s code
requirements and standards and provides 24/7 service –
even during some holiday seasons. This team continues
to be instrumental in contributing developing and using
development review checklists and reporting that helps
applicants, design professionals, and internal staff
understand the development requirements, timelines, and
actions.
A. ON-SITE PROJECT FACILITATION SUPPORT
Actively involved from pre-development through
pre-construction.
Our current on-site Engineering Facilitators, Shaila
Avatapalli, PE and Christian Sy are available immediately
and will continue to provide consistent engineering
facilitation assistance to the city. In addition, Nic
Fitzgerald, PE, and Dan Deeter, PE, will also provide as
needed on-site facilitation support when demand is high
or if Shaila and/or Christian are not available. All four
will work with our off-site reviewers to keep tracking
projects, allowing City staff 24/7 access to the status
of development applications, cases, and reviews. These
professionals have extensive experience in development
plan reviews, have a great working relationship with
current city staff, and are well versed with Denton
Development Code and standards. We acknowledge that
the facilitation resources will commit to a maximum of
6,240 combined hours per year.
Participate in pre-application meetings with prospective
developers and their engineers early in the planning
process to provide engineering requirements
and collaboratively shepherd projects through to
construction. Our team of engineers will take projects
from “cradle to grave”.
Actively engage with City staff and HR Green
engineering technician during weekly project intakes to
identify any deficiencies in submittals and make sure all
applicable files are submitted for review.
Request an HR Green tracking number and send the
list of projects to be reviewed with deadlines to off-site
team for review.
Check City eTRAKiT workspace every day for any new
projects or previous projects associated with the site
and inform the off-site review team of any additions or
changes to deadlines.
Review (QA/QC) off-site comments and revise, as
required, with input from Development Assistance Team
(DAT) meetings and others. Engineering Facilitator
posts revised comments to Supporting Docs in City’s
eTRAKiT system.
Provide assistance to city facilitators for any project
review related questions, standards and participate in
meetings with development team to clarify comments.
Works with city staff in reviewing standards and
updating city checklists.
Work closely with Denton’s planning team and
coordinate with engineering team for city projects,
including capital projects, for a common understanding
of project goals, the entitlement process, and city
expectations to efficiently maintain project momentum.

B. ENGINEERING PLAN REVIEWS
The experience and knowledge of HR Green staff
is such that both on-site and off-site teams can
perform engineering reviews.
“LEVELING UP” THE REVIEW PROCESS
HR Green has a proven internal plan review coordination
process, GreenTREx, so that each plan received is
properly processed and returned on time. Our GreenTREx
review process/program allows us to efficiently complete
plan review tasks concurrently. This is a formalized and
integrated process whereby Technicians manage data
input and processing, the appropriate staff members
Review, and Experienced staff manage quality control
functions that are consistently implemented on each and
every project. This allows multiple HR Green staff to assist
at any phase of the processing, review, and approval. Our
GreenTREx process is illustrated on page 7.
Civil Engineering Design Plans
Most of our plan review team members have more than
20 years of experience providing plan review for grading
(mass, preliminary, and detailed), erosion control, SWPPP,
hydrology and hydraulic studies, soils reports, streets,
street lights, signing and striping, traffic signals, water and
sewer plans, storm drains, all supporting calculations, and
utility permits including small cell and fiber optics.
Each plan is compared to the appropriate site plan, plat,
and other improvement plans for the project to verify
conformance and no design conflicts. Water, sewer, and
storm drain plans are compared to the master plans.
The plans also go through a thorough investigation for
compliance with the conditions of approval, State, County,
and City standards and regulations, Municipal Codes,
Ordinances, Resolutions, policies, procedures, checklists,
and City approved format/preferences, TXDOT Standard
Plans and Specifications, MUTCD, AASHTO, and the
Integrated Stormwater Management (iSWM) manuals.
All documents are turned around on-time or ahead of
schedule. The redlines, a comprehensive comment
letter, and checklist(s) are provided to all stakeholders, if
necessary. HR Green earnestly seeks to meet or beat your
expectations. We are able to meet the most hard-hitting
schedules with a near perfect track record. The City of
Denton which has an aggressive review schedule, has
expectations that we have met or beaten their schedule
better than 98% of the time.
PLAN REVIEW METHODOLOGY
We are proficient in numerous electronic plan review
systems. This is critical for larger, multi-disciplined
projects where there may be overlap between design
disciplines. Comments from each review are summarized
electronically by our staff. The designer can add responses
to the plans or the corrections memo and include with
the next submittal to verify that all comments have been
addressed. This approach has been effective in resolving
comments at early stages, avoiding repeat comments by
reviewers, and coordinating responses among disciplines.
STEP 1 - PRELIMINARY DISCUSSIONS
Prior to beginning our initial plan review project, the Plan
Review Manager and Engineering Technician will review
the submittal for completeness and areas of design
concern.
STEP 2 - INITIAL REVIEW
Once HR Green receives a complete set of plan
documents, we will perform our plan review in the agreed
upon timeframe, checking for compliance to all applicable
codes and standards and city checklists. All corrections
are identified based on compliance with the following
localized specified resources:
▪City of Denton Municipal Code
▪Denton Development Criteria (DDC)
▪City of Denton Design Criteria Manuals
▪City of Denton 2040 Comprehensive Plan
▪2022 Mobility Plan
▪City of Denton Stormwater Management Plan
▪TXDOT standards and regulations
▪MUTCD
▪Integrated Stormwater Technical and Criteria Manuals
(iSWM)
▪FEMA Floodplain Regulations
▪Federal ADA regulations (Federal ADA Manual)
Marked up plans, the corrections memo, and a transmittal
will be uploaded in the city’s eTRAKiT system.

City of Denton Page 6
STEP 3 - RESUBMITTALS
Upon receipt of the resubmittal package from the
applicant, we will verify that the resubmittal package
is complete. We will assign the package to the same
reviewer who provided the prior review and perform a
recheck in the agreed-upon timeframe. This process will
be repeated until the project plan documents are ready
to be recommended for approval. Upon completion of
the second plan review, should there be a significant
amount of comments still to be addressed or if there is a
significant issue, a meeting between our staff, the City,
and the Project Engineer will be coordinated so that all
parties understand the expectations.
STEP 4 - PLAN APPROVAL
Once all engineering comments have been addressed, HR
Green recommends approval and uploads the letter and
status in the city’s the city’s eTRAKiT system.

Expectations of City Staff
Prompt responses to questions from HR Green.
Informing HR Green of any changes to city standards,
checklists and expectations.
Sharing of any relevant project information.
Sharing of information regarding CIP, TxDOT, Master
Plans, Real Estate Acquisitions, etc. to assist in overall
knowledge of City’s and State’s plans and goals.
Inclusion in weekly meetings with City Facilitators and
Development Assistance Team (DAT).
In addition to HR Green’s five-plus years of experience
delivering these services to the City, our team has
acquired a multitude of information from the City and
State. These experiences enable HR Green resources
committed to the development review tasks and empower
City resources to focus on competing priorities.
Optional Value-Add Services
Should the City of Denton seek a more comprehensive
development processing solution, HR Green is capable
of augmenting your core scope of
services outlined in your RFQ with
the following services:
SMALL CELL I 5G
DEPLOYMENT I FIBER &
BROADBAND
HR Green offers comprehensive capabilities to address
small cell/5G deployment and municipal broadband and
fiber initiatives throughout the country, including the
following in Texas, the cities of Fulshear, McKinney,
Sugar Land, and Houston-Galveston Area Council of
Governments.

City of Denton Page 12
In response to the recent FCC Small Cell Preemption
Order, we have helped agencies nationwide maintain a
significant amount of authority and flexibility by negotiating
win-win outcomes that benefit carriers while addressing
key community concerns, such as aesthetics, availability
of high-speed telecommunications, and public health
and safety. HR Green has provided cities, counties, and
special districts with a broad array of services, including
assessments, public policy development, design standard
development, master planning, plan check, inventorying,
permit processing, GIS mapping, network engineering,
program management, and inspection. Our staff members
have assisted various cities in myriad aspects of small
cell deployment, including permit application reviews.
We have also consulted to cities as they assess impacts
of small cell deployment and how they can leverage
their fiber network to foster economic development,
enhance quality of life, and improve municipal operational
efficiencies. HR Green has also educated cities and the
industry through in-house, nationally recognized thought
leaders at national symposiums on future proofing
options to leverage emerging technologies and smart city
solutions, and respond to new legislation/mandates.
HR Green’s Small Cell Review Checklist
Since HR Green has deep experience in this field, we can
offer to implement our well-defined 12-page Small Cell
Review Checklist and “overlay” it with Denton’s policy for
full compliance.
Included among the elements reviewed are typically
concerns about meeting aesthetic standards, sight triangle
requirements, radio frequency (RF) emissions, noise, etc.
Should the City wish to refine its standards after reviewing
the HR Green checklist and meeting with our key team
members, we would welcome the opportunity to share our
experience and enhance Denton’s approach.
INSPECTION
In order to comply with Greenbook, MS4 Permit,
and local design standards, it is important to assign
qualified and accredited inspectors to monitor public
and private construction work that comply with project
plans and specifications. Our inspectors bring extensive
land development and CIP public works infrastructure
experience. They know community concerns,
environmental characteristics, and provide inspection
services for projects, regardless of their construction type
or size. They handle all inspection services for all types of
municipal projects, including developments, encroachment
permits, overlay, construction, street maintenance,
landscape, traffic signal, drainage, wet/dry utilities, and
similar projects.
Our staff is dedicated to providing the highest level
of customer service and ensuring that all work is in
conformance with City requirements and all other
applicable design standards, water quality requirements,
and codes with detailed daily reports and photographic
documentation provided.
Our staff utilize field inspection applications and hand held
devices (e.g., document in writing, pictures, and report
findings weekly to project file) tied digitally to the project
design records.
Our inspection schedule can be adjusted for fast-track
projects to provide a high level of coordination specifically
suited to gain compliance with all applicable codes on
a shortened timetable. The need to track and assess
design changes in the field has created a need for project
inspectors to be especially aware of changing conditions.
Fast-track projects may be built into small phases based
on incremental design and fabrication steps. In such
cases, our inspection team keeps daily logs to track
corrections and plan review changes. Our inspection team
also provides on-call services to cover staff vacation time,
peak workloads, specialized inspection activities, and
others as needed. These activities may include:
Same-day response to important or urgent inspection
requests
Inspections of a clearly urgent nature (emergencies,
serious life-safety concerns, etc.)

MEMO
To: Christina Dormady, City of Denton
From: Jim Halverson, HR Green
CC: Shaila Avatapalli, HR Green
Subject: RFQ 8401 – Engineering Development Review Consultant
Date: January 8, 2024
HR Green is pleased to respond to the City of Denton’s request for pricing and schedule regarding the
referenced RFQ. HR Green is presenting proposed pricing and underlying assumptions associated with the
engineering facilitation (to include up to three on-site resources) and off-site civil plan review services. In
addition, we provide the assumed project schedule and have a recommended action item that could be rolled
into the final scope of work.
Proposed Pricing Structure: The table below summarizes HR Green’s rates1 and underlying annual hourly
assumptions. For onsite facilitation, we have a proven team that will perform the onsite work as required by the
City without exceeding 120-hrs per week. This has been a consistent practice over the last year utilizing 2
fulltime onsite staff and a team of part time staff to perform onsite work as needed. I would also point out that
the rates summarized below are consistent with hourly billing rates applied to work underway.
Task Description Estimated Hours
Per Year Hourly Rates2 Expenses Estimated
Task Fee Per Year
Engineering
Project Facilitation 6,240 $109 - $223 $10,000 $797,000 - $1,390,000
Engineering Plan
Review 6,345 - 9,039 $101 - $272 $0 $925,100 - $1,498,000
Total 10,505 – 14,447 $10,000 $1,722,100 - $2,403,000
Estimated hours are based on a 2,080 hour work year per person; however, the City will only be responsible for
effort associated with engineering facilitation and plan review services. All Paid Time Off (PTO), continuing
education time to maintain credentials, and other related indirect time will be the responsibility of HR Green. As
with previous assignments, HR Green will continue its practice of providing notice to the City when the budget is
80% expended to determine how remaining resources should be committed. As situations warrant, HR Green is
1 A more detailed rate and level of experience table is summarized in Exhibit A. This exhibit is meant to illustrate
the depth and associated credentials of the core team. Other resources may be leveraged as work volumes and
schedules warrant.

open to working with the City beyond the contract value conditioned that a forthcoming amendment is provided
to the City for action retroactive to the period when the contract value has been exhausted.
Project Schedule: The referenced RFQ indicated that the project will begin based on issuance of a notice to
proceed. In the event that this milestone occurs in February 2024, HR Green will be fully prepared to proceed
with the services requested by the City. If the City elects to take this course the designated start date will be
based on when the authorization to proceed is delivered. The delivery of services will commence from that date
(assume to be 2024) and proceed until 2029. HR Green is open to exploring other project schedule options that
the City has in mind.
Joint On-Site Work Session: HR Green proposes a joint on-site (i.e., City of Denton, Texas) coordination meeting
with the City of Denton development review team. Costs associated with HR Green’s staff participating in this
meeting would be solely borne by HR Green. The agenda associated with this one to 1.5 day work session would
be developed jointly by the City of Denton and the HR Green development review and engineering facilitation
team. Suggested topics could include: improving interorganizational cooperation, identifying and/or refining the
development review process, changes in policies and practices, etc. HR Green recommends that a session such
as this be conducted at least annually and potentially semi-annually over the term of this contract.
Thank you again for the opportunity to move forward with your evaluation. We welcome the opportunity to
answer any remaining questions you may have.

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of Denton (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to
you certain written notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for
providing to you such notices and disclosures electronically through your DocuSign, Inc.
(DocuSign) Express user account. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly,
and if you can access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to these terms
and conditions, please confirm your agreement by clicking the 'I agree' button at the bottom of
this document.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available
electronically to you by us. For such copies, as long as you are an authorized user of the
DocuSign system you will have the ability to download and print any documents we send to you
through your DocuSign user account for a limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such
documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to send you paper copies of
any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time
change your mind and tell us that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures
only in paper format. How you must inform us of your decision to receive future notices and
disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and disclosures
electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the
speed at which we can complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to
you because we will need first to send the required notices or disclosures to you in paper format,
and then wait until we receive back from you your acknowledgment of your receipt of such
paper notices or disclosures. To indicate to us that you are changing your mind, you must
withdraw your consent using the DocuSign 'Withdraw Consent' form on the signing page of your
DocuSign account. This will indicate to us that you have withdrawn your consent to receive
required notices and disclosures electronically from us and you will no longer be able to use your
DocuSign Express user account to receive required notices and consents electronically from us
or to sign electronically documents from us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide
electronically to you through your DocuSign user account all required notices, disclosures,
authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents that are required to be provided or
made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the chance of
you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required
notices and disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given
us. Thus, you can receive all the disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through
the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with this process, please let us know as
described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures
electronically from us.
