REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS NO. 20-07-01 CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES (CCNA) TAB D: PROJECT APPROACH AND UNDERSTANDING and approval prior to the Craven Thompson internal project “Kick-off Meeting.” This “Kick-off Meeting” will occur after the initial project award meeting between Sunny Isles Beach’s staff and Mr. Gibney. At the “Kick-off Meeting”, the team will be introduced to the scope, the budget and the timeline. The Project Manager will define the various elements of the projects and describe the quality control/quality assurance requirements at this meeting. Mr. Gibney will periodically review the progress of the project to assure meeting the project timeline and budget as initially approved by the City. Mr. Gibney will then update Sunny Isles Beach staff of the project progress. ▪ Information Gathering and Review Craven Thompson will gather as much available information that can be obtained through due diligence. This will include GIS, studies, and past survey information. We will search for existing studies, reports, technical information, and design documents for the existing water mains, sanitary sewers, lift stations, drainage, gas, telephone and electric. Also, we will seek public and private utility atlases and as-builts for service areas within the specific project limits. We will review City specifications, standard details, and project management procedures; agency permitting requirements, determine regulatory agencies having jurisdiction, and their submittal requirements. We will also gather any other available geotechnical and environmental data within the project limits. ▪ Surveying Project Limits Craven Thompson will prepare a topographic design/specific purpose survey of the project limits. We will perform the survey using traditional surveying methods. Using conventional means, we can set horizontal and vertical control as well as collect topographic and invert information for water valves and hydrants, sanitary manholes, and storm structures. Integrating this information with collected as-built information, a base map will be produced depicting all available aboveground and below ground information. This base map’s accuracy is vital in assuring the proposed design has accounted for existing conditions. This survey would consist of a base map of the project limits, a survey control baseline and survey control points, with both horizontal and vertical coordinate information, in the form of x-y-z coordinates, in State Plane, Florida East Zone, NAD83(90), US Survey Feet format. Craven Thompson can then use the survey control to create a topographic design survey of the full rights-of- way of roadways, extending ten (10) feet beyond the existing rights-of-way lines where accessible. Locations would include all aboveground and visible improvements, including pavement, swales, signs, street lights, sidewalks, driveways, utility features and trees, three (3) inches in diameter and above, measured at four (4) feet aboveground level. All sanitary and storm sewer structures would include rims, inverts and pipe sizes and directions. Minimum Technical Requirements for the surveying will be per the Florida Board of Professional Surveyors and Mappers in Chapter 61G17-6 of the Florida Administrative Code, pursuant to Section 472.027 Florida Statutes.
