REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS NO. 20-07-01 CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES (CCNA) TAB D: PROJECT APPROACH AND UNDERSTANDING ▪ During the field data collection and office preparation of the survey, daily evaluations of the collected information will be reviewed to assure accuracy and conformance to the scope. As a part of this process, the project will be analyzed and tracked to assure the ability to conform to the project scope, cost and schedule. ▪ Upon completion of the project survey, an independent Project Lead Surveyor employed by our firm will perform a Quality Assurance and Quality Control review of the final product vs. the City’s Detailed Statement of Work, City Standards, the proposed scope of services, Florida State Statute Chapter 472 - Land Surveying and Mapping, Florida Standards of Practice for Land Surveying under Florida Administrative Code Chapter 5J-17 and any other applicable City Codes. ▪ All during the survey process, the Project Lead Surveyor will maintain close communications with survey staff and sub-consultants, managing the project in order to immediately solve any issues that may arise as to schedule, costs, and deliverables. This will assure that the Project Lead Surveyor can communicate regularly and accurately with City project manager the status of t he project at any given time and guarantee quality products delivered on time as required by the Work Order. ▪ The final steps will be to deliver the project survey to the City in the required format(s) for review. If there are any comments during the review by the City, address those issues immediately and resubmit. All of the surveys involving field crews and sub-consultants will follow the above procedures. The types of survey and survey tasks will include: Topographic Survey, Record As-Built Survey, Specific Purpose Survey We pride ourselves being on the cutting edge of technology when deciding on which data collection method(s) to use when addressing the needs of our clients as to level of accuracy, cost and timeframe when proposing and executing a project. For these types of surveys, we use conventional data collection methods for smaller projects to be cost effective. For medium and large-scale tasks, we will analyze which method of data collection will be most efficient. These innovative methods would include GPS (Global Positioning System) Fast Static Control Survey and data collection, 3D fixed base laser scanning, mobile LiDAR scanning, aerial photogrammetry, and aerial LiDAR scanning. We have the capability to combine these diverse data acquisition methods resulting in quality and cost-effective products. Sketch & Descriptions and Preparation of Easements Our procedures for preparing sketch & descriptions and easements are virtually identical but dependent on the type of document required. These items are quite similar where a sketch & description could include any type of property, and easements would include a sketch & description of a portion of a certain property covering a utility, access, sidewalk or other type of improvement. The procedure would include reviewing the City’s work authorization; determining the purpose of the sketch & description, research of the property to determine ownership limits which would also establish the limits of the sketch & description and/or easement. All sketch & descriptions are prepared using AutoCAD Civil 3D software. We also strive to prepare the base calculations and final document in the state plane coordinate system thus providing a seamless importation into current databases. D | Page 12
