~ CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH g~;co Request for Qualifications No. 10-04-01 · Professional Engineering Services · eonstruction Management · Construction Inspection · Hurricane Recovery and debris monitoring services · General Design Work (Civil) · Preparation of complete Construction Contract Plans and Special Provisions for the assigned Project · Post Design Services (Shop Drawing Review and Responses to Request for Information) · Bid Administration (Selection and Letting) In addition to these initial services identified, our firm can provide the following services which we feel are beneficial and unique to the City: · Grant Development and Administration · Transit Studies · Intergovernmental Coordination (FOOT, MDC, etc.) · In-House Staff Support · eoncurrency Review The City is unique, as it consists of ten small islands that are divided by canals or highways which all eventually lead to Collins Avenue in one form or another. Therefore, from a transportation perspective if traveling by car, bus, bike or walking there is likely some interaction with a state road facility. As mentioned earlier our firm is capable of providing all of the services mentioned above, but the greatest strength of our firm is our ability to handle projects that are on or interact with facilities such as Collins Avenue. We understand the issues the City faces on Collins Avenue with major resorts and high rise residentials on the east side of the highway and major commercial areas along the west. Mobility, Aesthetic and Safety are of primary concern along this highway and a primary area were we can assist the City in developing a coordinated plan with FOOT for this corridor. We mention this as one of the primary areas we have identified were we can be of tremendous value to the City. Plannina and Preliminarv Enaineerina Our staff of engineers has the depth of resources to handle any assignment the City requires. Bee specializes in providing engineering analysis, preliminary plans and traffic engineering services to handle all engineering components of a project or support on specific components on other studies. If its traffic engineering we have the tools available, from a simple Highway Capacity Software analysis to a more complex CORSIM model. Our engineering effort always includes an extensive analysis of all possible options with the capabilities of providing 30% plans, engineering reports and preliminary structural, utility and drainage design. Final Desian In the development of final design plans for a roadway, a minor improvement or a site, our responsibility will be to analyze and evaluate design criteria, geometrics, drainage, maintenance of traffic, constructability, biddability, sequence of construction, aesthetics, utilities, environmental impacts, traffic analysis, signalization, and signage. Our plans will be prepared utilizing the latest version of AutoCAD. We will propose several phase reviews to the City during the course of plans development in order to give the City and our Team reassurance that we are meeting the intent of the design. There are many components that are included in a set of final design plans, but we feel that some of the most important issues that can affect cost and the public are described in further detail below. Utilitv Coordination Early coordination with the utilities and accurate information regarding their facilities can help eliminate conflicts during construction. Information requested from the utilities will include: 1) location of their existing/proposed facilities, 2) depth and cover of buried facilities, 3) whether or not buried facilities are encased, 4) is the utility located in an easement, and 5) whether or not the utility will seek to be reimbursed for relocation. A utility pre- design meeting will be held and conflicts between the proposed improvements and the utilities will be coordinated and resolved. Final relocation schedules will be submitted to the utilities at the final plans development. Final certification will include submitting utility clearance letters with the final package. 2lPage
