SECTION 2 Experience/ Background Comprehensive Solid Waste Facility Planning and Design Services SAIC offers solid waste facilities planning, permitting, design and construction management services that seek to deliver innovation and technical expertise. From identifying areas for gaining efficiency to state- of- the -art facility design, we believe that innovation can take many forms. Our planners and designers have the experience needed to take a proposed project from initial concept through construction. We tailor our approach not only to specific client needs, but also to current industry trends. Selecting from a comprehensive suite of planning and design services, SAIC has played an integral role in the planning, permitting, and design of some of the most innovative landfills, waste -to -energy facilities, material recovery facilities, transfer stations, composting facilities, and household hazardous waste facilities in the United States. Recent industry focus has involved conversion technologies for energy recovery, development of renewable energy, and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. We help communities in planning, permitting and designing solid waste facilities that meet client needs today and in the future. Traditionally, municipally -owned solid waste facilities across the United States have been developed using the Design -Bid -Build project delivery method. With the rising trend of alternative project delivery methods, we are able to assist communities in implementing techniques that allow them to conduct fair and competitive procurements, reduce costs, save time, and share risk. SAIC assists clients in evaluating and implementing alternative project delivery methods, such as Design - Build -Operate, for solid waste facilities. We can help clients achieve the best solution through a comprehensive assessment of alternatives in the early stages of project development, and through evaluation of the pros and cons of the several project delivery methods available. Similar Projects The following project descriptions highlight projects in which SAIC has provided solid waste facility planning, design, and construction management services with particular relevance to the scope items that would be provided to the City of Ramsey. We encourage the City to contact any or all of these organizations to gain further information on SAIC's approach, responsiveness, and quality of work, as it can be difficult to capture the comprehensive level of value we have provided these clients in a brief write-up. Also, note that the project descriptions provided are only a portion of the Project Team's applicable regional and national experience in solid waste facility planning, permitting, design and construction management. We have chosen to highlight projects for several of our significant clients where services have included: • Planning, design, and construction management of resident recycling, problem material, and waste drop-off centers; SAIC Energy, Environment & Infrastructure, LLC I 2-1
