We are currently qualified for over twenty-five (25) specific civil engineering <br />disciplines in Miami-Dade County, most of which precisely match the proposed scope of services for this solicitation. A <br />list of APCTE's Miami-Dade County qualifications is provided below, with the most relevant items highlighted in blue. <br /> <br />1.01 <br />2.01 <br />2.02 <br /> <br />2.04 <br /> <br />3.01 <br />3.02 <br />3.04 <br />3.05 <br />3.06 <br />3.07 <br />3.08 <br /> <br />3.09 <br /> <br />Urban Area and Regional Transportation Planning <br />Mass Transit Program (Systems) Management <br />Mass Transit Program (Systems) Feasibility & <br />Technical Studies <br />Mass Transit Controls, Communications & <br />Information Systems <br />Site Development and Parking Lot Design <br />Highway Design <br />Traffic Engineering Studies <br />Traffic Counts <br />Traffic Calming <br />Traffic Signal Timing <br />Intelligent Transportation System Analysis, Design, <br />& implementation <br />Signing, Pavement Marking, and Channelization <br /> <br />lighting <br />Signalization <br />Aviation Systems - Engineering Design <br />Port and Waterway Systems - Engineering Design <br />Water Distribution and Sanitary Sewage Collection <br />& Transmission Systems <br />6.02 Major Water and Sewer Pumping Facilities <br />6.03 Water and Sanitary Sewage Treatment Plants <br />8.00 Telecommunication Systems <br />10.01 Stormwater Drainage Design Engineering Services <br />14.00 Architecture <br />16.00 General Civil Engineering <br />17.00 Engineering Construction Management <br />18.00 Architectural Construction Management <br />22.00 ADA Title II Consultant <br /> <br />3.10 <br />3.11 <br />4.01 <br />5.01 <br />6.01 <br /> <br />2.2 Relevant Experience <br />The APCTE Team has experience in all aspects of roadway and drainage improvements including: Field Review, Data <br />Gathering, Agency Coordination, Pipe Video Inspection, Geotechnical Exploration, Pavement Design, Maintenance of <br />Traffic (MOT), Wetland Delineation, Detention-Retention Pond Design, Hydraulic Modeling, and Drainage Analysis to <br />relieve street flooding. APCTE is capable of preparing full-scale computer models utilizing state of the art software. We <br />have conducted investigations on water sheds ranging from several acres to several square miles. These evaluations <br />have included flood profile studies and stormwater management master plans. The Team has also demonstrated its <br />capability to obtain environmental permits required for all drainage improvement projects, including agency <br />coordination, preparation of permit sketches and permit applications. We have developed an excellent reputation and <br />working relationships with agencies such as: SFWMD, FDEP, USACOE and PERA (formerly DERM). <br /> <br />APCTE's broad capabilities and experience in complex stormwater management systems for municipal projects has <br />been demonstrated through several of its Neighborhood Improvement projects. Within the City of Miami Beach, the <br />Drainage Master Plan developed for the Nautilus Neighborhood included 92 inlets, 9 gravity wells, 37 pressurized <br />drainage wells, and 6 stormwater pumping stations; the Washington Avenue Improvements project included a new <br />collection and conveyance system and 28 gravity wells; the Prairie Avenue Drainage Improvements included a pump <br />station system with injection wells and a new collection and conveyance system; and the Lummus Neighborhood <br />Drainage Improvements included stormwater pipe upsizing, replacing curb and gutter and sidewalk, and signing and <br />pavement marking, all ADA and MOT compliant. The drainage improvements for each of these projects eliminated the <br />flooding in the area. Other examples are the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC) Drainage Master Plan, where APCTE was <br />responsible for the coordination with all permitting agencies as well as several design consultants for the development <br />of a Drainage Report and the acquisition of an Environmental Resources Permit (ERP) for each MIC roadway project, as <br />well as the SR-836 (Dolphin Expressway) at NW 14th Street Stormwater Pumping Station within the City of Miami. <br /> <br />2.3 Schedule of Proposed Services <br />The APCTE Team has developed a preliminary project activity/event schedule, as shown in Technical Proposal. Within <br />ten (10) days of obtaining the Notice to Proceed for this project, we will fine tune this schedule in order to identify <br />specific project activities and duration associated with each phase submittal required to meet the proposed City <br />production schedule. Due to our past relevant experience, background and company structure, our firm is extremely <br />well suited to perform the required Civil Engineering Services called for in this RFQ. In the past, we have successfully <br />provided these same types of services, and we have done so in the timeliest manner. The following page provides a <br />preliminary project design schedule, assuming that the Notice to Proceed is issued by the City of Sunny Isles Beach in <br />January 2012. <br /> <br />A&P CONSULTING TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERS, CORP. <br /> <br />3 <br />
