D-38 RFQ 20-10-01 Professional Engineering and Architectural Services for Pedestrian Bridge with Park Elements Across A1A at 174th St. CCNA D The EAC Team will be vigilant and monitor the design budget monthly to ensure that all invoices are based on progress and documented in our progress reports. We will also validate throughout the design process that the proposed concepts are aligned with the estimated construction budget. Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) A project-specific QA/QC plan will be submitted to the City’s Project Manager within ten days of the Notice to Proceed (NTP), and will follow FDOT procedures, utilize checklists, perform constructability reviews, incorporate lessons-learned, and will be used by the entire project team, including sub-consultants. FDOT Local Agency Program (LAP) and Funding Coordination FDOT provides sub-recipient towns, cities and counties funds to develop, design, and construct transportation facilities with federal funds. FDOT is the steward of the federal funds and is responsible for oversight of funded projects on behalf of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). LAP agencies prioritize and fund local projects (through their respective MPO or governing board) and are then eligible for reimbursement for the services provided to the traveling public through compliance with applicable Federal statutes, rules, and regulations. EAC understands the requirements of the FDOT’s Local Agency Program (LAP) Manual as it relates to projects such as this - that involve a bridge structure crossing a roadway. We will comply with -the FDOT’s latest revisions to the LAP Manual, the Florida Design Manual, Structures Manual, and Standard Plans for these bridges. As part of the EAC Team, Harold Desdunes, PE, and ex-Director of Transportation Development for FDOT’s District 6, will lead this coordination effort. He is extremely familiar will all FDOT requirements, procedures, and funding opportunities - and will ensure that the Project Team performs close coordination with FDOT’s Central Office. This will ensure our Project Team is following all FDOT design procedures and meeting all design requirements in order to protect the lives, health, and public safety. Qualified Independent Peer Review EAC has included a peer review firm on our team that will review not only the design of the bridge, but also the construction sequence. ASA Consultants have been included as part of the EAC Team to perform an independent peer review for the pedestrian bridge design plans.
