<br />CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH <br /> <br />Newport Fishing Pier Permitting <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br /> <br />1. SCOPE OF SERVICES <br /> <br />Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. will perform the following services based on <br />our understanding of the project requirements: <br /> <br />I. Professional Government Consulting Services <br /> <br />A. Environmental Permitting <br /> <br />1. CGA and its sub-consultants will meet with you and City staff to <br />review the current status of the applications. Items that have been <br />requested by the regulatory agencies and the parties responsible for <br />providing that information will be identified at this meeting. CGA <br />and its sub-consultants will respond to the agencies' requests for <br />additional information as soon as the requested information is <br />available. The primary agencies involved in this project are the US <br />Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Florida Department of <br />Environmental Protection (FDEP) and Miami-Dade County <br />Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM). <br /> <br />2. Obtaining the DERM and FDEP permits will be a two-step <br />process. The first step is conceptual approval based on the permit <br />sketches. The actual permit cannot be obtained until after detailed <br />construction plans are submitted for review (the second step in the <br />process). It is assumed that the detailed construction and drainage <br />plans and calculations necessary for these permit applications will <br />be prepared by others. Those costs are not included in this <br />proposal. <br /> <br />3. CGA and its sub-consultants will continue to respond to requests <br />for additional information from all of these agencies. Time will be <br />devoted to keeping track of agency findings on a regular basis. This <br />monitoring will provide us with early detection of agency concerns <br />and will minimize misunderstandings. Each of the applications will <br />be tracked until a decision is reached. As with all permitting <br />matters, no guarantee can be provided regarding success or failure <br />in obtaining permits, nor is it feasible to estimate when the permits <br />
