RFQ No. 20-07-01 <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />August 2020 <br />C. Cover Letter and Executive Summary <br />August 18, 2020 <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />To Whom It May Concern: <br />Premiere Design Solutions, Inc. (PDS) provides a wide range of engineering services, cost engineering <br />and construction phase services in civil land transportation engineering to serve the needs of our clients. <br />We plan, design, and oversee construction of facilities to meet our client’s needs. We craft integrated <br />management strategies to make the most of limited resources while serving multiple stakeholders. Most <br />important, we work closely with each client to make sure that our innovative and cost-saving solutions <br />are tailored to their individual needs. <br />Mr. Luis Jurado, PE is the President of PDS and is committed with the City of Sunny Isles on this project <br />to provide exceptional service, as PDS is known for, and will ensure that appropriate staff levels are <br />provided to meet and exceed the City’s expectations. Currently, PDS holds several engineering contracts <br />on an ongoing basis and other task specific contracts, and our staff is working at a 65% capacity, allowing <br />some project growth before needing additional staff. However, de pending on size of contracts, PDS as a <br />small business has the flexibility to hire new staff as needed, without going through extensive selection <br />process. Currently PDS has a Resume Bank with candidates that have been prescreened and some have <br />already interviewed with PDS, making a selection of additional engineers, CAD Drafters, Engineering <br />Inspectors and Administrative staff a relatively fast process, led by MR. Jurado, as needed by the City of <br />Sunny Isles Beach. <br />We understand the City of Sunny Isles Beach is seeking Professional <br />Engineering Services for contracts not exceeding $4 Million in <br />construction costs were work order contracts do not exceed <br />$500,000 in fees. PDS is a minority owned, small business, <br />incorporated five years ago in Broward County, with offices in <br />Miramar, Miami, and South Carolina. PDS is experienced in this type <br />of work, and we are willing to work with the City, finding the best <br />solution to your needs, and will work with other firms currently <br />holding architectural/engineering contracts with the City as a sub- <br />consultant to their contracts. We also acknowledge that PDS will <br />maintain all its current certifications, licenses and insurances throughout this contract. <br />We are proposing our services as prime consultant for Civil Engineering Services, and are not committing <br />to any specific sub-consultant for this project. We work with sub-consultant firms capable of providing <br />all services the city may require, which we have an ongoing relation and current track record, but in the <br />best interest of the City, we have decided to submit this proposal as a sole an prime consultant, and sub- <br />consultant will be procured on a work order basis, keeping the City project manager involved during the <br />process if desired. PDS currently holds three continuing architectural/engineering services contracts, as <br />a prime consultant, with City of Miami Gardens, Miami-Dade Transit and with Broward County Transit, <br />7
