Proven solutions <br />Responsive and dependable performance <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach RFQ No. 20-07-01: Continuing Professional Consulting Services (CCNA) <br />D-10 <br />Geotechnical Investigations <br />Detailed geotechnical (underground) evaluations are required <br />prior to designing the water main. This information will assist <br />the design team in preparing the design and anticipating <br />any conditions that will impact the material, location or <br />installation of the planned utility. Specific attention is <br />given to existing soil/rock conditions, seasonal groundwater <br />elevations, and other site features in the investigation. The <br />geotechnical information is critical for the design team when <br />considering excavation, dewatering during construction, <br />ground failure protection for adjacent properties, and proper <br />compaction of backfilled soils to avoid undesirable ground <br />settlement. <br />Utility Coordination & Conflicts <br />Many underground utilities exist within the roadways of <br />the City and County, therefore avoiding conflicts is an early <br />planning activity. The initial identification of existing utilities <br />during the site survey provides the design team with the <br />information needed to design around a utility or to design <br />for relocation of the utility. Early planning and coordination is <br />required with most prominent underground utilities. <br />Maintenance of Traffic Planning (MOT) <br />The area surrounding a construction site typically includes <br />local and FDOT roadways, local residential and business <br />traffic, schools, churches, hospitals, emergency service <br />routes, and pedestrian traffic. MOT Plans are required by the <br />City, County and FDOT for all construction projects, along with <br />sufficient details for the contractor to obtain an MOT permit <br />and to maintain appropriate safety signage and lighting. <br />The MOT ensures the contractor is aware of the vehicular <br />and pedestrian traffic within the project area, as well as <br />for emergency services. The CES Team will prioritize the <br />engagement of the local fire station, local police station, <br />and local schools to constantly keep them informed of our <br />activities. This allows for continuous work flow and limits <br />the impact to local emergency services. <br />Site Restoration <br />The project sites will likely lie within local and commuter roadways and in residential neighborhoods where construction activities <br />will impact both the public right-of-way and, potentially, private property. It is therefore essential to clearly identify existing <br />conditions within the construction documents and to design restorative measures for the contractor to follow in returning the <br />site to pre-construction conditions. It is also essential for the team to collect and store pre-construction photographs and video <br />to facilitate the restoration of property to pre-construction conditions. <br />Uninterrupted Service <br />Maintaining all public services to local residents and businesses is essential during the installation of new utilities. These services <br />include potable water, sanitary sewer, garbage collection, access to public transportation, and access for first responders. <br />Providing uninterrupted service to the community and individual residents is first and foremost. Disruption of utility service is <br />not permissible to the CES Team. We have extensive previous experience with municipal infrastructure replacement programs, <br />and through this experience, our team is able to minimize uninterrupted service during construction.
