REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS NO. 14 -07 -02 proposal. The steps represent the general process for a storm water /drainage or a transportation design, permit. bid, build project: Kick Off Meetings Upon being given a specific engineering project by Sunny Isles Beach. Mr. Taylor and other key personnel will meet with the appropriate City staff to define the project scope, discuss the budget. and develop a detailed schedule. He will then hold an "internal" kick -off meeting with the CTA Team to discuss the City of Sunny Isles Beach's expectations, the scope, and the schedule. Information Gathering and Review The CTA Team will gather as much available information as available. This will include as- builts, atlases, studies, and past survey information. We will search for existing studies, reports, technical information, and design documents for the existing water mains (North Miami Beach), sanitary sewers, lift stations, drainage, gas, telep one_and_electric._Also,_we_wiII seek public and private utility atlases and as- builts for seas ce�ar within the project limits. We will review City design standards, details- CAD- standards /files, -and technical specifications, agency permitting requirements /determine regulatory agencies ha`vingIjurisdiction, and their submittal requirements /We will also gather any other available geotechnical and environmental data within the project limits.

Storm Water /Drainage Analysis, Design, & Modeling (& Geotechnical) Based on the Digital Terrain Model (DTM) model, CTA will create a computer model of the existing storm water system. At a minimum, the goal is to provide flood control for the 5 -year, 24 -hour storm event where possible. Some areas within the City of Sunny Isles Beach were constructed at very low elevations thereby making it difficult to meet this standard: however, this will remain the level of service target. When tides are high and storm systems are located off the coast, water can backflow into low lying streets. Backflow prevention is therefore a major consideration. The objective will be to maintain static heads at or below the lowest road crown elevation in each drainage basin and to minimize or eliminate standing water on the roadways during those storm events. The next level of service goal is to prevent standing water from exceeding the top of the road crown elevation during a 10 -year, 24 -hour storm event. The third and highest level of service goal is to prevent house CRAVEN THOMPSON & ASSOCIATES. INC. 1 3563 NW 531- STREET, FORT LAUDERDALE, FL 33309 1 P 954.739.6400 4 1 Page 9
