Calvin. Giordano 9 Associates, Inc. E X i E P T 1 0 N A E S O E U T I O N i CIVIL ENGINEERING Throughout all phases of a project, CGA makes a com- mitment to provide the utmost levels of quality con- trol and professionalism. We take great pride in seek- ing mechanisms and means through which projects can be sustainable. Streets /Roadways CGA's roadway design experience ranges from small, two -lane rural roadways to large multi -lane highways and interstates. We work with the FDOT (Districts IV and VI) on re- grading, striping, drainage improve- ments, implementation of ADA requirements, turn - lane additions, widening, and median modifications, and public outreach. We have designed street - scape improvements for municipalities such as Dora], Weston, and Bay Harbor Islands. In addi- tion, we have designed and permitted parking improvements such as the Dania Beach Park N Go, and the parking fields for Pembroke Lakes Square, Pembroke Gardens. Related services include: • Roadway design and permitting • Corridor Studies • Intergovernmental agency coordination • Roadway beautification projects • Design alternatives analysis • Lighting design • Parking lot design • Traffic calming measures • Pavement marking and signage • Parking supply and demand analysis • Emergency evacuation studies and planning • Roadway drainage design and permitting • Utility relocation design and coordination • Milling and resurfacing projects • Utilities in Redevelopment Areas Much of CGA's recent engineering experience has con- centrated on the redesign and upgrading of utility in- frastructure in Florida's older coastal communities. Understanding the construction methods and materi- als used 40 to 80 years ago in South Florida is critical to a successful project approach in these areas. Working in historic neighborhoods, we have success- fully carried out design and construction oversight of the complete removal and replacement of existing sewer, water, and storm drainage systems together with new sidewalks and roadways - basically every- thing within the City -owned rights -of -way, plus coor- dination with the landscape and building architects for the new development outside the rights -of -way. Exhaustive research of existing conditions during the initial design phase uncovers many conditions which, if left undiscovered, can result in significant contractor change orders during construction. A good example is the prevalence in many older neighborhoods of War - renite Bitulithic Pavement, a patented design popular in the early 1900's consisting of a thin layer of asphalt over a solid concrete base. Over the course of the last 70 years, many of these streets have been paved over, and without knowledge of this condition, what could be a simple bid item can turn into a costly change or- der in the field. Navigating these issues, along with older, substandard linework and drainage, and the ev- er- present Southern Bell concrete duct banks calls for the type of design expertise and historical knowledge that our team brings to a project. When the few unforeseen conditions do arise, our phi- losophy is to work diligently with the contractor and client to redesign infrastructure at a moment's notice. We understand that downtime on a construction site adds up to serious liability to all concerned. _ � RFQ No. 14 -07 -02 1 Continuing Professional Services 7
