<br />1. Technical Competence
<br />
<br />Metric Engineering, Inc. was founded in 1976 on the principle
<br />of providing personalized, top quality consulting engineering
<br />services to its clients, large and small. With our corporate
<br />headquarters located in Miami, Metric, like so many residents
<br />of South Florida, was severely impacted by the devastation
<br />brought on by Hurricane Andrew in 1992. The firm wasted no
<br />time in rebuilding and aiding the citizens of South Florida to
<br />return to normalcy, providing comprehensive emergency
<br />debris management services to its governmental clients.
<br />Since then, Metric has provided emergency management on
<br />storms such as Hurricane Andrew, Opal, Dennis, Ivan, and
<br />Wilma.
<br />
<br />Our services have included post storm debris monitoring,
<br />damage assessment, hazardous site remediation, canal
<br />dredging, contractor payment processing, geographic
<br />information systems programming, documentation for project
<br />worksheets, public information campaigns, signal and sign
<br />inventories and construction inspection services. Metric has
<br />also worked closely with FEMA, FDEM, and FHWA officials in
<br />the determination of debris eligibility, documentation
<br />requirements, project worksheet development and load ticket
<br />requirements. This has resulted in smoother operations and
<br />maximum reimbursement for our clients. To this day, our
<br />clients have been reimbursed 100% of funds applied for.

<br />In addition to our vast experience in Florida, Metric has
<br />extended its strength by teaming with iParametrics, LLC. As
<br />Metric's subconsultant, iParametrics will provide additional
<br />resources in planning, management, and supervisory
<br />personnel, along with a staff skilled in all facets of disaster
<br />planning, recovery, and mitigation. iParametrics is recognized as a leader in disaster management and
<br />recovery, having mobilized their emergency management cadre to fifteen states and two U.S. territories
<br />in response to natural and man-made disasters including floods, hurricanes, super typhoons,
<br />tornadoes, wildfires, mudslides, ice storms, earthquakes, and acts of terrorism. In particular, the firm
<br />facilitates Debris Management Plan training, workshops, long-term support, and debris plan
<br />review for pilot program compliance to municipalities on FEMA's behalf.
<br />
<br />With our combined experience, the Metric team is the best qualified, and very importantly, local firm, to
<br />provide a comprehensive Emergency Debris Disposal Management Solution for the City of Sunny Isles
<br />Beach.
<br />
<br />Below are just some of the areas in which Metric has demonstrated its skills and knowledge in
<br />Emergency Management:
<br />
<br />Planning: Pre-Storm planning has included debris volume calculations, FEMA's Hazus modeling,
<br />transportation studies for evacuation routes, GIS mapping, vulnerability assessments, maintenance of
<br />traffic (MOT) plans and hazardous material site identification. Post-Storm planning has included the
<br />development of remediation plans.
<br />
<br />Operations: Metric's experience over the past 31 years in construction management as well as debris
<br />removal operations has made us very familiar with contractor operations and management. In addition
<br />to truck scheduling, truck certification, work balancing, and safety, Metric understands how to run
<br />operations smoothly in partnership with the contractors. We have been so successful at this for our
<br />clients, that Metric Engineering is ranked in the top 50 construction management firms in the nation by
