This phase involves frequent meetings with the City to ensure the project design is progressing as intended. Coordination with the regulatory agencies is complet- ed during this time. Final Model and Report - Once the client approves the final design and permits are obtained, the model will be completed and the final report will be produced to document the findings and our proposed design. GRANT EXPERIENCE CGA also has extensive experience facilitating grants writing and administration services for our many cli- ents. Our systematic approach to applying for grants has proven to be successful, returning a high rate of positive results. Internally, our grants are overseen by our Grants Coordinator, who assesses the needs of each grant to strategize the best method for approach. The Grants Coordinator then relies on directed tech- nical expertise provided by an assigned professional in each of the disciplines, contributing to the overall submittal package. Our success with grants has produced repeated posi- tive results, including: • City of West Park - South Florida Water Man- agement $250,000 for Stormwater • City of West Park - Florida Department of En- vironmental Protection $250,000 for Storm- water • Town of Surfside - Florida Department of En- vironmental Protection $1,347,500 for Storm- water • Town of Surfside - Florida Department of En- vironmental Protection $125,000 for Sanitary Sewer • Town of Surfside - Seawall Replacement Grant $565,000 • Town of Surfside - SRF Funding Rehabilitation Project, $9.2M • City of Weston - Community Budget Issue Re- quest (CBIRS) $1,000,000 for Stormwater • City of Weston - FEMA $1,361,700 for Storm- water • City of Weston - Community Budget Issue Re- quest (CBIRS) $1,000,000 for Stormwater • City of Weston - Congress $492,000 for Storm- water • City of Weston - FDEP $100,000 for Stormwa- ter • Bonaventure Blvd. and I -7S Intersection (Pav- ers, Landscaping, Irrigation & Bridge Painting) $65,000 Grant amount & $140,000 total proj- ect cost. • City of Weston - Broward Beautiful Green - SHADE Grant • City of Weston - Florida Urban & Community Forestry Grant - Inventory & Mapping of City Trees $ 35,000 Grant amount & $70,000 total project costs • I - 75 Interchanges at Indian Trace and Glades Pky.

QUALITY ASSURANCE /QUALITY CONTROL The QC process begins with the CGA Quality Control Handbook. This handbook will be utilized to devel- op the project specific plan. Quality is not a quantity which can be added to a work product through any re- view process. Therefore, CGA's approach makes qual- ity an integral part of the project from conception to construction. The Quality Control process is a major agenda item at the kickoff meeting with the design team. All team meetings will address quality by measuring progress against the client's expectations. The team will meet all product requirements, technical requirements, budget requirements, and schedule requirements or will take immediate corrective action to bring the project back in line with these expectations. This is the reason the frequent team status meetings are required. These progress meetings are supplemented by a peer review process where a design group not assigned to the particular assignment will review the plan doc- uments with a fresh perspective. Any comments re- ceived from this peer review are addressed by the project manager which will assign tasks for corrective actions to be taken. All corrections are then resubmit- ted to the firm's Director of Quality Control and Qual- ity Assurance for final sign off before being released. This quality review is performed as part of our quality assurance program. RFQ No. 14 -07 -02 1 Continuing Professional Services 57
