<br />Project Approach and Understanding Page 10 <br />Continuing Professional Consulting Services (CCNA) <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach RFQ No. 20-07-01 <br />Technical Approach <br />The Cummins Cederberg team of engineers, scientists, and technical staff are familiar with the City’s <br />goals for this RFQ and understand the technical expertise required to execute marine structural and <br />environmental engineering projects. Our technical staff have direct experience working within the City on <br />waterfront projects, including the engineering design, permitting, and construction administration of <br />waterfront structures. The following summarizes our technical approach to servicing this RFQ and <br />describes how the Cummins Cederberg team can assist the City with each area of the scope of work <br />described under this RFQ. <br /> <br />Proper execution of any project requires a carefully planned and managed strategy. The Cummins <br />Cederberg team has experience with both small and large waterfront structural engineering and <br />environmental projects for public and private clients utilizing in-house engineering and environmental <br />staff. Project planning early in the project timeline allows our team to establish a project baseline by <br />collecting relevant data (e.g., bathymetric surveys, sediment testing, benthic resource surveys, typical <br />vessel drafts), considering input of stakeholders, and evaluating design constraints. Our technical <br />approach includes early identification of available data to reduce duplication and costs to the City. Review <br />of existing data (e.g., maps, surveys, reports, maintenance records) affords our team the ability to conduct <br />a preliminary screening of a waterfront project area to optimize project permitting, design, and <br />construction. Cummins Cederberg’s experience with waterfront projects will be leveraged in the following <br />areas: <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Environmental Permitting <br />✓ Bathymetric Surveys <br />✓ Marine Resource Surveys <br />✓ Submerged Lands Ownership Determinations <br />✓ Pre-application Meetings with Regulatory Agencies <br />✓ Development of Conceptual Design <br />✓ Mitigation Assessment and Negotiations <br />✓ Preparation of Permit Applications <br />✓ Preparation of Grant Funding Applications <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Engineering Design <br />✓ Structural Inspections (including above and below water) <br />✓ Structural Engineering Design <br />✓ Cost Estimates for Construction <br />✓ Construction Timeline Development <br />✓ Development of Construction Plans and Technical Specifications <br />✓ Form Development <br />✓ Mitigation Layout and Design <br />✓ Beach Nourishment <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
