AECOM Section 2 Construction Support. AECOM will be able to provide the City with Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) services on a range of projects including roadway, bridge, traffic signal, and intelligent transportation systems (ITS). AECOM has performed CEI services for multiple clients including essentially every District of the Florida Department of Transportation, Miami -Dade County, and other municipalities. CEI is not only having excellent inspection staff but also maintaining the proper documentation to allow a project to be accepted and closed out. Our approach is to stay several steps ahead of a contractor to be proactive in avoiding any potential delays to the project. The ultimate result is to deliver construction projects to the City on time and within budget. Our inspectors have the Florida Maintenance of Traffic Advanced certification from ATSSA. Maintenance of traffic (MOT) is an important part of any project. Proper MOT setup is critical not only for motorist and pedestrian safety, but also for the contractor's safety. Having the correct MOT setup also avoids lawsuits arising from accidents within a work zone. Our inspectors evaluate each MOT setup and notify the contractor of deficiencies. Grant Assistance. AECOM has significant experience in assessing projects financial feasibility and assisting clients in writing grant applications. Projects are eligible for a variety of grants whose application requirements differ by program. The first element is to make sure the candidate project is a good fit for the objectives and goals of the program. The second element, and a minimum requirement, of a successful submission is to ensure thatthe submission provides all information requested and tailors the response to the evaluation criteria specified for that program. RFO No. 14 -07 -02 But beyond responding to program- specific requirements, a successful grant submission for public monies needs to demonstrate the larger case for the project —why the project's implementation and use makes the local multimodal transportation network better — without impairing the market or usage of another transit provider in the region. For example, successful transit applications to the TIGER program demonstrate how a candidate improvement allows the project to serve existing customers better or to expand the market served. DOT staff had indicated that there were 848 applications totaling more than $14B in funding, far exceeding the $511M in available TIGER III funds. on December 15, 2011, US DOT announced that the Syracuse Connective Corridor was awarded a $10M TIGER II grant to complete the final phases of the project. The Syracuse Connective Corridor was one of only 46 transportation projects selected for award. Permitting For more than 80 years, AECOM has resided and worked in South Florida. Since the 1970's, AECOM has maintained its A/E offices in the City of Coral Gables. As a result, our office and professional staff are all very familiar with completing projects within the South Florida region and specifically the City of Sunny Isles Beach where some AECOM projects reside. Our team's knowledge of local conditions, permitting and approval procedures, building codes, and construction industry is specialized for this area of Florida. AECOM has completed several projects located within the City of Sunny Isles Beach, including Heritage Park and Parking Garage, Tony Roma's, and the City Hall. Our team's knowledge and experience with the Miami -Dade Water and Sewer, DERM /RER, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, HRS, Miami - Dade County, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) permitting process, will be beneficial for certain tasks assigned through this contract.
