14CES Consultants ● City of Sunny Isles Beach RFQ No. 18-11-01 our Team’s experience in permitting speaks for itself in the myriad of projects that we have performed, collectively and individually. The CES Team brings Moffat and Nichol as our environmental permitting experts. The existing seawall will be evaluated to determine if the existing structure can be modified/rehabilitated or if replacement is required. The outfall discharge velocities will be carefully reviewed from the proposed pump station, and most likely a dissipator structure will be required. The team has experience with designing a new sheet pile wall and incorporating the outfall dissipation into the reinforced concrete cap. Clean-out and maintenance structures will be incorporated into the design, and the bulkhead elevation will likely be raised to an appropriate elevation consistent with local resiliency planning. The new bulkhead will provide a long, 30+ year, service life with minimal maintenance for this important infrastructure project. Depending on the final design of the outfall discharge, backflow preventers may be incorporated into the design to eliminate tidal waters, especially during “king tide” conditions, from entering the stormwater management system. Accessibility and Safety The CES Team is well experienced working in Miami Beach, and we are very aware of the importance of public involvement and keeping the public informed of milestones and potential impacts that may be caused during construction. Our comprehensive understanding of construction, will also provide the City of Sunny Isels Beach with a design that will provide safe roadway access for vehicles and pedestrians, provide a safework zone for the construction workers, as well as to allow access to the public works facility during the duration of the project. For the project, we will produce a MOT plan consisting of general notes, phasing notes, typical sections, phasing plans, and special details. Construction activities affecting sidewalks and/or pedestrian crossings will include a Pedestrian Traffic Control Plan complying with FDOT Index 600 and 660. Accessibility considerations will be addressed. The plan will be developed utilizing the latest Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) Typical Applications (TA) and the FDOT 600 Series Standard Indices where applicable. The MOT plans will also be coordinated with Miami-Dade County Transit, FDOT, Miami- Dade County Traffic, City Fire District, City School District, City Police Department, and City Traffic, Parking, Trolley, and other relevant project stakeholders. We will especially coordinate with adjacent property owners in maintaining ingress and egress to properties, including businesses and access for emergency vehicles. Public Outreach The location of the work presents a significant “nontechnical” challenge, as well as working in and around the exclusive Golden Shores Community. The CES Team understands how to be sensitive to the concerns of these key stakeholders. We have worked with stakeholders in many projects and have a clear understanding of how to integrate the stakeholders into the success of our projects, keeping them informed, addressing any concerns that arise and seeking mutually acceptable solutions to keep the project moving. The Public Information Team aims to serve as the main point of contact for delivering all messages and coordinating project specific materials to the City and stakeholders. We intend to work with City’s Public Information Liaison to provide information for public dissemination, coordinate and attend all outreach activities throughout the life of the project. Our goal is to establish a project PIO liaison to ensure all public information related requests by the City and the community are being responded to in a timely manner.
