CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES (CCNA) RFQ No. 20-07-01 Fee Proposal Once the assignment has been fully researched and a site visit has been performed, BE will prepare a man-hour estimate. Unless an alternative method is requested, BE will prepare a spreadsheet using these man-hours together with our contract rates. Approach to Work (Typical) Once the fee proposal has been approved and we receive a fully executed Authorization to Proceed, Biscayne Engineering’s Project Manager, Mike Bartholomew will hold an internal kickoff meeting to discuss in detail the full scope of work, the project schedule, QA/QC procedures and deliverables. Team members will be assigned to specific production tasks and a full mission plan will be outlined. Research documents (plats, deeds, benchmarks, etc.) will be assembled, and project budgets will be prepared and followed daily. The team of professionals at BE have decades of experience in the design and implementation of GPS control networks for projects involving mobile LiDAR, airborne LiDAR, static High Definition Laser Scanning, as well as all other conventional surveys. We will ensure the data collection meets the accuracies required for all projects. BE will follow all guidelines and specifications required and in compliance with the Standards of Practice set forth by the Florida Board of Professional Surveyor’s and Mappers. Proper planning and sound surveying measurement principals and procedures along with stringent QA/QC will be utilized to produce the desired accuracies in a timely and cost-effective manner. This is our promise to you and what we will do every time, for all projects assigned under this contract. Approach (by Work Type) BE has a long history of performing all types of surveys, including those specified in the RFQ, throughout South Florida. For the most part, our volume of work speaks for itself, but t here are a few areas where we feel it is necessary to illustrate our approach. Topographical Surveys (general) With our long history, it is hard to imagine a company having more experience in the preparation of Topographic Surveys than BE. While no two scopes are alike, there are some basic items that are components of any well- prepared Topographic Survey. First, the Project Manager and all team members must gain a clear understanding of the main purpose for the Topographic Survey to ensure the correct amount of data is collected. Also, equipment must be calibrated: poorly calibrated equipment introduces errors that may be difficult and costly to fix later. Furthermore, any benchmarks (vertical control points) used must be independently verified by a closed bench level circuit to an additional benchmark(s). When locating features with the total station, it is imperative that the survey crew regularly checks and records their backsight reading, to ensure that the instrument has not been disturbed. 11
