RFQ-20-07-01 Continuing Professional Consulting Services (CCNA) 790 NW 107 Ave., Suite 200, Miami, FL 33172 Tel:(786) 456-7700 (954) 658-5232 8 • Public Involvement: Improvements that will directly impact mobility need to have a public Information plan as a critical portion to this Contract. CALTRAN will coordinate with the City of Sunny Isles Community Awareness Plan (CAP) as needed that considers goals and objectives from each project. Those plans will make sure to identify all impacted stakeholders like FDOT, City of Sunny Isles staff and/or officials for each specific project or assignment. As a minimum our public involvement plans will include:  Gathering information related to the project’s goals and objectives  Inform the public and stakeholders of the study related material, approach, data collection efforts, meeting minutes etc.  Educate the public and stakeholders of the benefits of the project. At the same time provide countermeasures for impacts based on a range of transportation and livable solutions.  Engage the public and stakeholders through different channels and opportunities making them part of the decision making process.  Target audiences through listening sessions. • Final Design/Construction Documents Phase: Our Team of Professional Engineers (P.Es) has served as Engineer of Record (EORs) for multiple design projects that include roadway, signalization, signing and pavement markings, MOT, and lighting; we have permitted projects with stakeholders such as the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Miami-Dade and Broward County as well as multiple Cities. CALTRAN’s experts are ready to undertake the required efforts to adequately gather information and data, and validate and provide plans for the proposed improvements for a safe network of intersections in accordance to current City and FDOT standards. The goal is to deliver improvement plans, paving and grading, drainage, signing & pavement marking, signalization, and lighting as well as a Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) design component package foll owing the FDOT Plans Preparation Manual with detailed notes and tabulation of quantities for a contractor to be able to bid and permit. CALTRAN also will support the City in all required meetings, including but not limited to pre-bid and pre-construction meetings. Our general approach to traffic and roadway design includes s follows: • Existing Condition Review and Geometrics Analysis: The CALTRAN Team will perform field review for each of the project locations to identify all necessary geometric elements (i.e., sight distance, right-of-way constrains) in the existing conditions. The assessment findings will be documented in a field review form that records safety operations and notes deficiencies observed. As-built plans will be review • Standards Compliance: Projects will need to be designed and constructed in compliance with City’s requirements, including considerations based on noise ordinances, as well as County and FDOT standards and State and Federal Standards such as the MUTCD. • Utility Coordination: CALTRAN will request a utility design ticket to Florida Sunshine (811) to obtain information about all utility owners around each project location. All utilities must be considered when locating proposed improvements including service points from FPL and ATT. CALTRAN will have a dedicated utility coordinator familiar with UAOs to work closely with all utility owners and who has extended experience in utility coordination to ensure that all Utility Work Schedules and agreements will be on time to avoid negative impacts on the project schedule. • Topographic Survey: CALTRAN will coordinate survey efforts using a well-known surveyor with previous experience with the City. Topographic surveys will be prepared with DTM and a complete inventory of elements will be completed to be able to provide the contractor with enough details for geographic location and elevations of the proposed improvements. Any right-of-way dedications and easements will be vetted and legally recorded as part of the process. • Plans Preparation: CALTRAN will prepare a complete design package. Plans will be designed to current City, County, FDOT Standards and FDM. Plans, including pay items and quantities, cost estimates, computation sheets, and construction plans at 30%, 60%, 90%, and/or signed and sealed 100% will be prepared and provided to City. CALTRAN will submit all MicroStation or AutoCAD including 3D, survey files and final plans set properly signed and sealed. Plan sets also will be submitted in PDF format via email for quick distribution. Drainage will prioritize providing swales wherever possible and regrade existing swales to
