tidy g:�1: Civil/Environmental Engineering RFQ#12-04-02 ECT's professionals are among the industry's most knowledgeable, multidisciplinary specialists in the environmental field. ECT is a leader in the environmental industry, as evidenced by the fact that the a company is listed as one of the top 200 environmental companies in the United States (Engineering News Record, 2011)and one of the 100 fastest growing companies in Florida. ECT's staff members have successfully provided civil/environmental engineering services for more than 22,000 projects throughout the United States and worldwide to a variety of clients in the private and public sectors. More than 70 percent of these projects were conducted for repeat clients, clearly demon- strating ECT's commitment to the highest levels of quality, technical services, and client satisfaction. These projects include civil/environmental engineering services provided to South Florida Water Man- agement District (SFWMD) since 1995, and petroleum remediation services provided to the Florida De- D partment of Environmental Protection (FDEP) at numerous sites in South Florida and throughout the state under continuing contracts since 1993. Other examples include the completion of Phase I and II environmental site assessments (ESAs) at hundreds of sites throughout the state for the Trust for Public Land, FPL Energy, all five water management districts, and numerous local financial institutions and private corporations. Normally, it would take one week to implement service after receiving the notice to proceed. 1.2 PENDING, ONGOING, AND PAST LAWSUITS AND CLAIMS In 2006-2007, ECT participated in a marina rehabilitation/redesign project for the City of New Smyrna Beach, Florida. In 2010, an individual filed suit against the City, ECT, the design engineer and the con- struction company for injuries sustained when he fell while walking from the end of the boardwalk on top of the bulkhead. ECT contended that, on the date of the fall, ECT no longer had any responsibility for the area where the fall allegedly took place. In March 2011, this suit was settled in mediation with ECT agreeing to pay $10,000 of the $62,500 settlement. There was no admission of guilt on ECT's part; it was less expensive to settle than to continue litigation. ' ECT, through hired collection agencies, has been involved in a number of cases to recover fees owed to us. ECT does not maintain a historical listing of these cases. 1 I 1 1 1 S MI/EntritirrIngergrias 2 L , Technology.Inc.
