790 NW 107 Avenue, Suite 200, Miami, FL 33172. Submitted August 2026 Page 11 RFQ RESPONSE – City of Sunny Isles Beach RFQ # 26-07-01 | CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECTURAL & ENGINEERING CONSULTING SERVICES (CCNA) Collins Avenue at 183rd Street Signal Design (2024–2025): Building on the survey and utility work, CALTRAN developed the signal design while addressing the operational and physical constraints of the Collins Avenue corridor. Golden Shores Speed Studies (2024): CALTRAN evaluated vehicle speeds and neighborhood traffic conditions to support informed traffic- management and safety decisions. Collectively, these assignments have given CALTRAN working knowledge of the City’s major corridors, intersections, neighborhoods, parks, school operations, pedestrian generators, parking conditions, and multimodal travel patterns. We understand the distinctive challenges created by Sunny Isles Beach’s constrained geography, high-density development, significant pedestrian activity, school and residential traffic, and reliance on a limited number of critical north-south and east-west connections. This familiarity provides immediate value under a continuing-services contract. CALTRAN can approach each new assignment with an informed understanding of existing conditions, related City initiatives, previously collected data, and potential stakeholder concerns. This reduces startup time, limits unnecessary duplication of prior efforts, improves coordination, and allows the team to focus sooner on developing solutions. Just as importantly, CALTRAN understands the City’s expectations for clear communication, responsive service, technically defensible recommendations, and deliverables that can be implemented within real-world budget, schedule, right-of-way, and operational constraints. Continuing with CALTRAN preserves valuable institutional knowledge while giving the City access to a team that has already demonstrated its ability to successfully deliver the transportation and traffic engineering services contemplated by this RFQ. Geographic Expertise and Proximity Our Miami office is approximately 28 miles from the City of Sunny Isles Beach. CALTRAN staff regularly work on transportation projects throughout southeast Florida and have directly supported Sunny Isles Beach on traffic engineering consulting services, giving our team firsthand understanding of the coastal corridor's travel demand patterns, seasonal tourism impacts, and multimodal infrastructure needs. Many of the projects we’ve worked on extend immediately beyond the City, bringing additional context of surrounding areas and traffic patterns unique to the barrier island and coastal Miami area.
