City of Sunny Isles Beach | RFQ No. 20-07-01 | Continuing Professional Consulting Services (CCNA) <br />Final Deliverables – Prior to issuance of any final deliverables <br />to the City, the survey information and data backup will be <br />routed through the CGA QA/QC process to ensure the City <br />is provided with a fully accurate survey document, that is <br />in compliance with all City, County and State land surveying <br />requirements. <br />Extension of Staff <br />CGA will work with the City of Sunny Isles Beach as an <br />extension of their staff by keeping open communication via <br />emails, phone calls and frequent status/progress meetings. <br />Upon assignment of the project, CGA’s Project Manager, <br />Steve Watts, will have a kickoff meeting with City staff to <br />review the tasks required, the approximate schedule, budget <br />and staff requirements for the project. CGA will request <br />that staff provide any as-built information, previous project <br />surveys or construction plans on site or adjacent to the <br />project. Upon completion of due diligence, CGA will provide <br />a detailed surveying scope of services for staff to review and <br />approve. Once a Notice-to-Proceed has been issued, survey <br />crews will be on-site within days to perform data collection. <br />City staff will be updated as to project progress, schedule <br />and completion date throughout the duration of the project. <br />Issues or Concerns of Significance <br />We believe the issues or concerns in relation to this project <br />is that as advances are made with respect to highly technical <br />RTK GPS and 3D Scanner survey equipment that it is even <br />more imperative that the City’s consultant understand the <br />capabilities, but also the limitations of such equipment. Our <br />experienced staff has been through the pratfalls of the various <br />issues with this type of equipment and have the knowledge <br />of when to use this type of equipment but more importantly <br />know when not to use it based on the specific survey task. <br />Advanced Survey Equipment <br />Some of the most state-of-the art surveying equipment that <br />exists today is part of our inventory. The Leica ScanStation <br />C10 is a 3D Laser Scanner which enables us to develop <br />high definition surveys for such applications as water and <br />wastewater treatment plants, pump station rehabilitation, <br />facilities management inside of buildings and a multitude of <br />other survey projects. As CGA is a full-service consulting <br />company providing civil engineering, landscape architecture, <br />GIS and land planning services, the survey department is well <br />versed in providing detailed and accurate surveying data for <br />engineering projects relating to water distribution systems, <br />storm drainage and sanitary sewer infrastructure. <br />As CGA is one of the few South Florida consulting firms to <br />have a full-scale GIS department providing data population <br />and application development for a number of government <br />entities, the survey department has developed capabilities to <br />provide efficient field data collection for rapid download into <br />GIS databases. Using Trimble Real Time Kinematic (RTK) <br />GPS equipment with Blue Tooth wireless technology and tied <br />into the Florida Continuously Operating Reference Stations <br />(CORS) allows us to collect vast amount of data referenced <br />to the latest horizontal and vertical datums as established by <br />the National Geodetic Survey Department (NGS). Having a <br />sophisticated IT department working in conjunction with the <br />GIS and Survey departments all under one umbrella, enables <br />data transfer and database entry from remote locations <br />seamlessly. Issues that plague large GIS\Survey projects <br />regarding incompatibility between field and office, software <br />application to software application are non-existent at CGA. <br />14
