<br />RFQ 20-10-01 Professional Engineering and Architectural Services for Pedestrian Bridge with Park Elements Across A1A at 174th St. CCNA D
<br />CULTURAL RESOURCE ASSESSMENT
<br />Janus Research prepared a cultural resources desktop analysis and field review in December of
<br />2019; it was reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Officer and who concurred with our findings
<br />in January 2020. As part of this documentation, two historic resources were identified, a portion of
<br />Collins Avenue and a building at 18080 Collins Avenue, both of which are ineligible for inclusion in the
<br />National Register. No archaeological resources were identified. As part of this most recent RFP, Janus
<br />Research will evaluate the latest project improvements to determine if additional resources will need
<br />to be documented in compliance with state and federal regulations.
<br />SURVEYING AND MAPPING AND SUBSURFACE UTILITY ENGINEERING SERVICES (SUE)
<br />For this signature project with the City, the necessary survey elements required for the successful design of the pedestrian bridge
<br />will include baseline of survey and right-of-way establishment, DTM/Topographic survey, drainage survey, etc. Survey information will
<br />be gathered via a combination of conventional EFB data collection and LiDAR imagery. Utilizing static LiDAR will allow the team to
<br />gather a complete detailed topographic survey with one field mobilization, and allow the team to pull additional detailed information
<br />throughout the design process (wire heights, mast arm details, renderings for public involvement meetings, etc.) without having
<br />to remobilize, thus saving design dollars, which can be utilized by the City elsewhere. In addition to the design survey, Subsurface
<br />Utility Engineering (SUE) will be required. In order to accurately locate the existing utilities within the
<br />project area, MG Vera (MGV) will follow the ASCE 38-02 “Standards Guideline for the Collection and
<br />Depiction of Existing Subsurface Utility Data.” MGV will provide Quality Level B Utility Designates to
<br />horizontally map these utilities and Quality Level A locates (test holes – vertical/horizontal – optional
<br />services) as required for utility conflict resolution/avoidance.
<br />UTILITY COORDINATION
<br />Utility Coordination is a critical component to the success of a project. Our Utility Coordination Manager, will be responsible for
<br />managing all utility coordination efforts. Successful coordination begins with early contact with utility owners, and keeping all project
<br />stake holders (FDOT, EOR, UAOs) up to date on project status. Conducting regular utility coordination meetings is critical. This will
<br />ensure utility owners, the design team and the City are up to date on all utility phases of the project, and are working together to
<br />resolve potential utility conflicts. During the life of the project, an important utility coordinating management tool will be to maintain
<br />an updated Utility Conflict Matrix as a living, critical decision-making, document - from start to finish. This will allow the team to keep
<br />track and ensure all potential conflicts are resolved.
<br />All utility coordination efforts will be in accordance with FDOT, FHWA, AASHTO standards, procedures, and design criteria. Utility
<br />coordination efforts will include, but are not limited to: working with the EOR to identify and resolve potential utility conflicts,
<br />coordinating new installations, holding necessary coordination meetings, distributing plans as necessary, identifying and preparing
<br />all reimbursable rights paperwork, processing agreements as needed (i.e., Utility Work by Highway Contractor, Lighting Agreements,
<br />Joint Participation Agreements, etc.), and certifying to the District Utility Administrator all Utility Work Schedules, etc.
<br />PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT APPROACH
<br />The City of Sunny Isles Beach Pedestrian Bridge Project Community Outreach and Impact
<br />Mitigation Plan will provide proactive information dissemination to and input from Project
<br />Stakeholders immediately and throughout construction. Project Stakeholders must include
<br />the City’s residents, its elected body, the FDOT, and particularly the project’s Primary Service
<br />Area (PSA). PSA stakeholders include residents, businesses, and houses of worship
<br />immediately surrounding the Project site at A1A and 174th Street. Given the City’s
<br />commerce and tourism, the Plan must also include City visitors from abroad and secondary
<br />PSAs in neighboring municipalities - like Aventura and North Miami Beach to the west, Miami
<br />Beach to the south and Golden Beach to the north. The Plan will center around the anticipated
<br />Primary Project Challenges, which include construction impacts such as safety, noise, dust,
<br />and water impact mitigation, traffic (MOT, materials deliveries, hauling, etc.) and access
<br />limitations (road and beach), schedule, and design aesthetics. The successful delivery of the
<br />large-scale South Florida projects managed by our proposed project PIO focused on early,
<br />targeted, proactive engagement and buy-in from the community, and is also proposed for this
<br />project vis-a-vis multi-language, live “Condo Chats,” online (social media) project informational
<br />forums, and Project Progress Reports. All aspects of the Plan will be delivered using federal,
<br />state, and local health and safety mandates and guidelines.
