CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH – CONSULTING ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR GOLDEN SHORES <br />UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING AND ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS (CCNA) - RFQ NO. 18-08-01 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />SECTION C - COVER LETTER AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br /> <br />September 4, 2018 <br />Office of the City Clerk <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />18070 Collins Avenue <br />Sunny Isles Beach, Florida 33160 <br />RE: CONSULTING ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR GOLDEN SHORES UTILITY <br />UNDERGROUNDING AND ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS <br /> REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS NO. 18-08-01 <br />Dear Selection Committee Members: <br />In response to the City of Sunny Isles Beach’s request for qualifications seeking a qualified <br />consulting firm for services identified in the RFQ titled, “Consulting Engineering Services for <br />Golden Shores Utility Undergrounding and Roadway Improvements”, Craven Thompson and <br />Associates, Inc. (CTA) is pleased to submit this Statement of Qualifications for your <br />consideration. <br />This project requires a clear understanding of the process for undergrounding of overhead <br />utilities and familiarity with the nuances of neighborhood improvement projects. The project <br />will be done in two phases, the first being installation of conduit and equipment pads, the <br />second, conversion of services. Installation starts with creating a base file that clearly <br />identifies existing services and features of the neighborhood. It will include overhead and <br />surface mounted equipment, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, domestic watermains, natural <br />gas lines, electrical distribution lines, communication lines, cable lines, street lighting, <br />landscape, property lines, and easements. In addition, because properties are currently fed <br />from the rear yard, modified to feed from the front, the siting of transformers will need to <br />consider the routing of individual services across private properties back to existing meters. <br />Once collected, the information will be used to interface with the various utility providers. <br />Designs and criteria will be solicited from each utility. Once provided, the designs from each <br />individual utility will be overlaid and coordinated into a single conduit and equipment plan <br />meeting the needs of all utilities. <br />Along with the underground conversion, we will address street lighting, stormwater <br />improvements, and restoration of landscape and improvements impacted by <br />undergrounding efforts, both within public right-of-way and on private properties. Existing <br />rear yard water services and front yard sanitary laterals will be considered in proposed <br />design but will remain as currently located. <br />Services provided include: program planning and management; liaison services with <br />neighborhood residences, elected officials, and staff; easement preparation; coordination of <br />electrical, CATV, and telecommunications designs by others; bid document preparation; the <br />evaluation of the contractor; construction administration services; review of project as-builts <br />and certification; supplemental engineering services; surveying; lighting: landscape: and <br />C | Page 1
