bowmanconsulting.com Specific Experience Mr. Richard Barnes, PSM, the Project Manager for this contract, was previously employed at the South Florida Water Management Dis- trict for 38 years as Section Administrator of the Survey and Mapping Section. During that time Mr. Barnes completed a vast number of hydrographic and topographic surveys along lakes, canals and various other water bodies. Although this work did not take place along tidal coast lines there are many similarities with the types of equipment being employed and the methodologies. These surveys included Lake Okeechobee, the Kissimmee River, the Kissimmee Chain of Lakes and the thousands of miles of canals and levees within the 16 counties that make up the South Florida Water Management District. An Oden Hydro-Trac Fathometer with Hypack software was used to collect all offshore data and Topcon GPS equipment was used to collect all dry and marsh land data. The survey data was dispersed to the United States Army Corps of Engineers. Bowman Consulting has surveyed Bathtub Beach located in Martin County, Florida on multiple occasions. This project involves 1,200 feet of beach re-nourishment. The scope of this project is to document beach conditions pre-, post- and during construction for Martin County. Bowman used laser scanning technology, a very accurate platform to capture the required data, and the beach proved to be an ideal situation for this technology. Bowman recently teamed with the Florida Oceanographic Society to map artificially created oyster beds along the Indian River in Martin County. This is a continuing project that will take place once a year and will document the growth of the oyster beds over time. This en- compassed approximately 200 feet of reef. The timing had to be right for the tides to remain low for the reef to be exposed to optimize the laser scanner capabilities. The submerged part of the oyster bed was captured utilizing RTK GPS technology. The Florida Oceanographic Society was delivered a 3-dimensional point cloud along with sand volume tabulations. Joining Bowman on this contract is Whidden Surveying and Mapping, Inc. (WSM). WSM has an Indefinite Delivery Contract with the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and has performed several Beach Erosion Control Projects for the USACE, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and several other governmental entities. WSM has all the off shore equipment neces- sary to perform the offshore portion of the surveys and will be utilized to do such for this solicitation. Their boat is outfitted and equipped to USACE standards. A sampling of WSM Beach Erosion Control projects can be found on the following pages. WSM has an extensive array of experience conducting surveys within 3,000 feet of the shoreline and offshore coastal bathymetry. Such projects have been conducted for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as well as other public and private concerns such as Brevard County, Miami-Dade County, Palm Beach County, FPL and the Sebastian Inlet District. These projects include all facets of surveying, from field data collection through data reduction, preparation of final charts and analysis of the data. On all of these projects WSM was able to launch their 24-foot survey vessel with cabin at the closest boat ramp to the project site. As evidenced by the experience listed above Bowman together with WSM far exceeds the minimum qualifications for this solicitation guaranteeing a successful project outcome.
