TAB D – Approach and Understanding RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS FOR Continuing Professional Consulting Engineering Services-Environmental Engineering #BID 20-07-01 1 PROJECT APPROACH AND UNDERSTANDING Formerly as EE&G Environmental Services, LLC, the management and staff of Gallagher Bassett Services, Inc. (GBSI) has developed a thorough knowledge and appreciation of environmental engineering and consulting requirements. GBTS Project Managers and Professionals fostered meaningful professional relationships, throughout its 30+ years, with all levels of personnel, worked with administrations, County, City, and Government personnel, and we believe we have developed a comprehensive understanding of the needs, goals and objectives as they relate to the City’s Scope of Work. While we understand that new leadership may introduce new goals and objectives, we believe that GBTS can modify our approach to enhance those ideas, and provide positive suggestions that may in fact remove environmental obstacles, while preserving the institutional knowledge we have gained from the past, creating a long-term working relationship with the City of Sunny Isles Beach. Vision / Ideas GBTS prides itself in being able to provide excellent project management and customer service to all our clients, whether big or small. This has been one of the keys to the firm’s success and longevity throughout the Southeast United States. We were built around the philosophy of providing quality responsive services at fair and reasonable prices. Our commitment to delivering superior services is evidenced by our many successful long -term client partnerships as shown behind TAB F., e., “Past 5 years of executed similar services” for local municipalities. At GBTS, we are committed to helping our clients reach their goals while achieving compliance with environmental, health and safety regulations. As these regulations change, GBTS is at the forefront, providing our clients with the knowledge and tools they need to be successful.

GBTS has long recognized the value of environmental compliance audits for limiting liabilities; reducing enforcement actions, insurance and waste management costs; and even improving the efficiency of an operation. GBTS personnel have extensive experience performing compliance audits at commercial and industrial facilities. Compliance audits involve an assessment of a facility’s overall waste management, housekeeping, and industrial hygiene practices relative to applicable regulations. Compliance audits provide an opportunity for the owner to take corrective actions on their own without the complexities, costs, and delays of government oversight. • Pollution Prevention Plans: Pollution prevention plans focus on reducing the owner’s costs of achieving important environmental goals, and emphasize the development and implementation of “best management practices” that help to reduce the potential for releases to occur, thereby, reducing the liability associated with waste management and disposal. • Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) Management System: Many successful organizations develop EH&S Management Systems that detail specific roles, responsibilities and requirements for ensuring compliance with
