RE:

South End Urban Renewal Project

Dear Mr. Reavis:

We wish to express our interest in providing design services
for the above mentioned project.

As a complete architectural engineering consultant firm,
Bayside Engineering is fully qualified and experienced in all areas
of park and recreational design, street design, and resident
inspection needed for your project. This includes design of ball and
playing fields, running tracks, benches and bleachers, ball courts,
swimming pools, parking, paving, lighting, fencing, landscaping and
all other design requirements of this type of urban renewal project.

Examples of our work range from the multi-million dollar
Metropolitan Schoolboy Track Facility, Neponset Circle, Boston, to a
golf course in Mashpee, MA. These and other projects listed within
this proposal demonstrate our design versatility and our flexibility
and cooperation with clients .

Bayside Engineering has performed numerous resident engineer
services. We were the designer and full-time resident engineer for
the Rockingham Park Racetrack in Salem, New Hampshire. As the
overseer of this $12,000,000 Performance Bond, we were responsible
for bringing this project in on time and within financial
restrictions. We also performed similar type full-time services for
the reconstruction of the Massport Bus Ramp located at Logan
International Airport. We have also recently completed resident
engineering services for a major urban renewal project at the
Charlestown Navy Yard for the B.R.A. and are currently performing
resident engineering services for another project, both of which are
full-time services .

Located in South Boston, we are easily accessible to the
project sites . Our current workload enables us to offer our key
personnel, as well as full qualified and experienced support
personnel .

We appreciate the opportunity to submit this proposal and are
hopeful of gaining an interview.

Very truly yours ,

BAYSIDE ENGINEERING ASSOCIATES, INC.

RELATED EXPERIENCE
& REFERENCES

PUBLIC AGENCY EXPERIENCE

The abilities of the Bayside design team to work.
with public agencies have been proven during our
previous activities in downtown Boston at the Spring
Lane project and the historic reconstruction of the
Blackstone Block (Fanueil Hall area). For several
years we have been engaged in design and inspection at
the Charlestown Navy Yard, Site Preparation Contract
No. 3. During this period we have worked with private
developers, utility companies, and State and City
agencies (including DEQE) . We are completely familiar
with the entire design process and the construction
sequence required for BRA projects, in particular,
projects at the Charlestown Navy Yard. We are
currently providing inspection services for Shipyard
Park, Phase III on a full-time basis. We are confident
of our abilities to complete the proposed scope of
services in a timely fashion since personnel available
for this project are totally familiar with the site and
its special requirements. We would be available to
start work immediately upon notification from the BRA.

We would be pleased to meet with you personally to
further describe our qualifications or to answer any
questions you may have.

RECENT RELATED EXPERIENCE

Charlestown Navy Yard, Charlestown

Bayside Engineering under contract with the Boston Redevelopment
Authority, has recently completed construction documents for the
Charlestown Navy Yard Project. The construction program provides for
utilities, streets, sidewalks, installation of water mains, sanitary
lines, surface drainage lines, street lighting, signs and landscaping.
Bayside coordinated work with building development in the area and
provided supervision during construction.

Revitalization of Blackstone Block, Boston

Blackstone Block, in the Haymarket district of historic Boston, is one of
the oldest existing street networks in the U.S. and has been designated
as a landmark area. Bayside recently completed design work relating to
street and sidewalk improvements for this area including historic
pavement treatment, installation of vehicular barriers and a new street
lighting system. The project required full coordination with many public
agencies. The final design successfully reflects the history and
atmosphere of this unique area as well as being safe and attractive for
pedestrians and property owners.

Reconstruction of Spring Lane, Boston

The reconstruction of Spring Lane, a pedestrian walkway, was designed for
the Boston Redevelopment Authority in 1982, construction was completed in
1983. Located between Washington and Devonshire Streets in downtown
Boston, Spring Lane illustrated Bayside's streetscaping abilities in a
hj.stQric c^ity area. The lane is now a pleasant pedestrian walkthrough
featuring brick paving to match the buildings along both sides and new
lighting system with period light posts. The close proximity of the
ajoining buildings with basements below the lane surface necessitated
careful design consideration.

North Harvard Project, Allston

Bayside Engineering was responsible for street design and site
development of a major urban renewal project at North Harvard Street in
Allston, MA. Project included civil, site, grading, utility relocation
and installation and new lighting system for a parking area for a large

in Allston.

Restoration of the Muster House, Charlestown

Bayside is currently designing the restoration of the historic Muster
House at the Charlestown Navy Yard. The building, which is over a century
old, is an octagonal three story brick structure with an ornate cupola
roof. Our designs include repointing, window replacements, roof repairs,
reguilding of ornamental fixtures and repainting. Work on the surrounding
grounds include landscaping, replacement of stone pavement and bollards
and sidewalks .

Bayside is currently providing ornamental lighting designs for the Post
Office Square area and Spring Lane in Historic Downtown Boston.

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAM

1987
PREFACE

Bayside Engineering Associates, Inc. is committed to offering
employment, training, and promotion opportunities without regard to
an applicant's or employee's race, color, religion, handicap,
national origin, veterans status, age or sex.

Our Affirmative Action Program is designed to accomplish two
objectives: (1) to reaffirm our continued commitment to a program
of merit employment policies and (2) to assert leadership within
the community and to put forth the maximum effort to achieve a
balanced work force, reflective of the population within our
business or recruitment area.

Bayside further recognizes that the effective application of
a policy of merit employment involved more than just a policy
statement and will, therefore, undertake a program of affirmative
action to make known that equal employment opportunities are
available on the basis of individual merit, and to encourage all
persons to seek employment with Bayside and to strive for
advancement on this basis.

The Management of Bayside Engineering Associates, Inc. has
prepared this written Affirmative Action Plan on a strictly
voluntary basis. In the preparation of this Affirmative Action
Plan, the terminology used in E.O. 11246, and its implementing
regulations, has been used as a guide by Bayside. The use of such
terminology should not be construed as an admission by Bayside, in
whole or in part, that in fact Bayside is in violation of Federal,
State, or local fair employment practice laws.

In developing and implementing this Affirmative Action
Program, Bayside has been guided by its established policy of
providing equal employment opportunity. The goals which Bayside
has formulated in conjunction with this Affirmative Action Program
are not intended as rigid, inflexible quotas that must be met, but
rather as targets toward which Bayside will apply every good faith
effort .

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION POLICY

I. It is the policy of Bayside Engineering Associates, Inc. to:

A. Recruit, hire, train, and promote persons in all job
titles, without regard to race, color, religion, handicap,
national origin, veteran status, age or sex, except where
age or sex are a bona fide occupational qualification as
stated under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, under Executive
Order 11246, as amended.

B. Base decisions on employment so as to further the
Principle of Equal Employment Opportunity.

C. Insure that promotion decisions are in accord with
principles of equal employment opportunity by imposing
only valid requirements for promotional opportunities.

D. Insure that all personnel actions such as compensation,
benefits, transfers, company sponsored training,
education, tuition assistance and social and recreational
programs will be administered without regard to race,
color, religion, age, sex, handicap, or national origin.

II. The firm has an Affirmative Action Officer, Manuel A. Priante,
Personnel Officer, who coordinates our Affirmative Action
Policy and Programs. The content, construction, reporting and
monitoring of the programs are administered by Mr. Priante
and, therefore, all inquiries concerning Equal Employment
Oppor t uni ty/ Af f i rma t i ve Action should be directed to him in
the Personnel Department .

I I I. Our affirmative Action Program is designated to accomplish two
objectives: (1) To reaffirm our continued commitment to a
program of merit employment policies and (2) To assert
leadership within the community and to put forth the maximum
effort to achieve a balanced work force, reflective of the
population within our business or recruitment area.

IV. We are committed to making steady and measurable progress
toward the achievement of our Affirmative Action goals. The
ultimate responsibility for successfully fulfilling the intent
of this policy lies with every Manager, Supervisor, and
Employee to actively support the philosophy and policies
contained in our Equal Employment Opportunity/Affirmative
Action Program.

Signed ,

Personnel Officer
