Request for Qualifications No. 21-11-01, Professional Planning and Zoning Consulting Services, including Civil and Traffic Engineering for the City of Sunny Isles Beach PAGE 17 Civil & Environmental Engineering, Evaluation and Design Our Team has served as Engineer of Record (EORs) for multiple design projects that include roadway, signalization, signing and pavement markings, MOT, and lighting; we have permitted projects with stakeholders such as the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Miami-Dade, and Broward County as well as multiple Cities. Our team has performed MOT for special events including Hard Rock Stadium events for years or RRR projects to increase service life of project such as SR-5/US-1/S. Dixie Hwy from E of SR-9/SW 27th Avenue to SR-9/I-95. CALTRAN’s experts are ready to undertake the required efforts to adequately gather information and data, and validate and provide plans for the proposed improvements for a safe network of intersections in accordance with current City and FDOT standards. The goal is to deliver improvement plans, paving and grading, drainage, signing & pavement marking, signalization, and lighting as well as a Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) design component package following the FDOT Plans Preparation Manual with detailed notes and tabulation of quantities for a contractor to be able to bid and permit. CALTRAN also will support the City in all required meetings, including but not limited to pre-bid and pre- construction meetings. Our general approach to traffic and roadway design includes s follows: Existing Condition Review and Geometrics Analysis: The CALTRAN Team will perform a field review for each of the project locations to identify all necessary geometric elements (i.e., sight distance, right-of-way constraints) in the existing conditions. The assessment findings will be documented in a field review form that records safety operations and notes deficiencies observed. As-built plans will be reviewed. Standards Compliance Projects will need to be designed and constructed in compliance with City’s requirements, including considerations based on noise ordinances, as well as County and FDOT standards and State and Federal Standards such as the MUTCD. Utility Coordination CALTRAN will request a utility design ticket to Florida Sunshine (811) to obtain information about all utility owners around each project location. All utilities must be considered when locating proposed improvements including service points from FPL and ATT. CALTRAN will have a dedicated utility coordinator familiar with UAOs to work closely with all utility owners and who has extended experience in utility coordination to ensure that all Utility Work Schedules and agreements will be on time to avoid negative impacts on the project schedule. Topographic Survey CALTRAN will coordinate survey efforts using a well-known surveyor with previous experience with the City. Topographic surveys will be prepared with DTM and a complete inventory of elements will be completed to be able to provide the contractor with enough details for geographic location and elevations of the proposed improvements. Any right-of-way dedications and easements will be vetted and legally recorded as part of the process.
