0 Calvin, Giordano 8 Associates, Inc. E C C E P r 1 0 N A t s O t u 7 1 0 N 5 SERVICES APPROACH The Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. (CGA) Team has thoroughly reviewed the scope of work outlined in the RFQ document, and we are confident that CGA is the firm who can best provide a service value for the City of Sunny Isles Beach for the identified services. Our engineers, landscape architects, environmental professionals, grant administrators, and other team members will provide a well- thought -out plan and ex- ceptional solution. CGA's offices are located at 1800 Eller Drive in the City of Fort Lauderdale, immediately adjacent to the south entrance to Port Everglades, and less than a 30- minute drive to Sunny Isles Beach. CGA provides Civil Engineering, Land Surveying, Land- scape Architecture, Environmental Resources Protec- tion, Grant Administration, and GIS services, as well as Planning, Platting, Traffic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Information and Data Technology, Con- struction Management, and Construction Engineer- ing Inspection (CEI) services. CGA's Civil Engineering staff includes 14 licensed Professional Engineers, 5 Engineer Interns, and 3 Cadd Drafting Technicians; our Landscape Architecture staff includes 2 registered Landscape Architects, an Urban Planner, and a Cadd Draftsman /Site Planner; and our Land Surveying staff includes 2 Professional Surveyor and Mappers, 3 sur- vey crews, and 2 Cadd drafting technicians. CGA is committed to dedicating the appropriate personnel and resources to this project to ensure its efficient and successful completion. The timing and scope of this project make it an ideal fit for our organization at this time. SCOPE AND VISION The CGA Team will obtain any available information about the existing utilities via existing GIS data, maps, as- builts, permit research and information that can be provided by the City. CGA will complete an initial evaluation and inventory of the infrastructure and a survey if required to collect any missing information. CGA's Team will research existing records that span decades of development. Collection of data using the latest GPS technology will produce the most accu- rate maps possible for the design modeling. These maps will include all existing utilities, above ground improvements within the R/W and existing drainage improvements. In addition we can convert all informa- tion to an electronic as -built record data base for the development of the GIS / AutoCAD inventory of maps. We will model the existing system with our modeling software, report our findings and comparisons with the current Level of Service, and will then identify and prioritize areas that need improvements. Cost effective alternatives that include Level of Service improvements and environmental applications for wa- ter quality and quantity will be explored and present- ed to the City for consideration and implementation. These may include a collection and transmission sys- tem with surface retention, eco- swales, pumps with a network of deep injection wells, or some combination of these options and other alternatives in the case of a stormwater project. CGA understands the conditions of a municipality sit- uated in the coastal area of Dade County, with surface elevations slightly above sea level and limited options for drainage. Our proposed solution will address po- tential Flooding and non- point- source pollution im- pacts of existing or proposed stormwater manage- ment systems in the case of a stormwater project.
