Engineering Services for Government Infrastructure RFQ No. 07-03.01 .. ~ ~ Benthic Resources: A preliminary investigation of the benthic resources within the project area revealed the presence of crabs, oysters and invertebrates along the mangrove fringe and within the mangrove roots. Submerged aquatic vegetation encountered waterward of the mangrove area included green and red algae species (Chlorophyta and Rhodophyta), and seagrasses (Halodule wrightii and Halophila decipiens). This area is within the range of critical habitat for Johnson's seagrass. 1.6 Public Involment Public meetings and public informational presentations are the primary mechanism to garner public input into the design process from neighbors, civic groups and organizations that have integral ties into the entire community. This effort also includes informational meetings for the general public, City Commissioners and all relevant stakeholders. Engineering Drawings, Plans Preparation, and Permitting The Marlin Team has vast experience in the preparation of plans and drawings for different levels and in compliance with all state and federal standards that will cover all the potential needs from this contract. These include, but not limited to: . Roadway and intersection geometric plans . Structural Plans . Maintenance or Traffic plans · Environmental mitigation and permitting . Public Meetings and Public Informational Presentations. 2.0 TECHNICAL APPROACH AND IMPLEMENTATION The MEI team's approach to this project can be summarized as follows: "If selected, we will provide the City with the highest quality product on time and within budget." We know that this statement has been used extensively on technical proposals; however, we do adhere to this philosophy with all our projects and clients. We have the technical experience to provide the City with a quality product that is buildable using a streamline approach, which saves time and money. 2.1 Design Approach for Structures Structural design services for the North Bay Road Pedestrian/Bike and Emergency Vehicle bridge will consist of: 1) preparation of a Bridge Development Report, which will depict all the viable bridge alternatives with cost estimates, 2) preliminary 30% plans of the selected bridge alternative and 3) final design (100 %) plans. The pedestrian/bike/emergency vehicle bridge will be designed to minimize or eliminate any throw away solutions required for the implementation of the future full-fledged vehicle traffic within the existing field constraint. The following approach to the project has been developed based on our review of the RFP documents provided to us and the associated aerial views and field information that the Marlin Team has developed from previous work done in the area. ~ P'UmolTroro BEISWENGER, HOCII & ASSOCIATES, INC. ~ IN APf'llC'tAnor.

The Marlin Team will collect, assemble, and review/verify existing field information available such as topography, cross-sections, utilities, existing properties and right-of-away information. All information pertinent to the project will be entered into our CADD systems. 2. Utilizing the existing field constraints and parameters as our basis for design, the Marlin Team will evaluate alignments and grades concurrent with alternative bridge types, span arrangements and complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Florida Accessibility Code in order to optimize the design. Our objective is to provide cost-effective structures that are also aesthetically pleasing; taking into consideration how well the design blends with the existing environment. ~~~~,
