Approach / Methodology Chen Moore and Associates has over 25 years of experience in providing consulting civil engineering, environmental engineering, landscape architecture and planning services for local public sector clients throughout the state of Florida. Utilizing our extensive experience on similar street and drainage projects with public sector clients in Miami-Dade County including projects for the Town of Miami Lakes, the City of Miami Gardens, the City of North Miami Beach, the City of Miami Beach, the Village of Pinecrest and Miami Dade County we have developed proven, efficient, cost effective methods to deliver projects to our clients on time and within budget. We work as an extension of our clients as a trusted advisor familiar with the technical aspects of a project, the regulatory/permitting requirements and in consideration and communication with all stakeholders involved to ensure a successful project on time and within budget. We ensure that our clients remain well informed throughout the process with frequent communication and regular project updates and also that our staff is accessible to handle any client needs that arise throughout the project. The following details the approach that CMA intends to utilize for the successful completion of this project for the City of Sunny Isles Beach.

Paramount in achieving a successful project on time and within budget is to clearly define the scope and goals of the current project. In defining the scope of the project, the following are some of the factors that will be considered: . Project goals, timeline and budget . Any unique characteristics and considerations (resident/hotline complaint logs, special characteristics, etc.) . Existing available information (available utility atlases, as-builts, operating reports, etc.) . Additional information that will need to be obtained (survey, geotechnical studies, traffic studies, etc.) . Potential impacts of construction to: parking, bus routes, emergency access and vehicular flow; pedestrian routes; community events; existing utilities; etc. . Project stakeholders (affected residents, HOAs, public agencies, etc.) . Regulatory authorities having jurisdiction and permitting agencies . Project funding . Construction requirements and limitations At the outset of the project it is necessary to clearly define the scope of the project and the project goals for all concerned parties to ensure the successful completion of the project. Existing Site Assessment & Planning In preparation of this proposal, CMA has already completed a number of existing site assessment tasks for this project to become familiar with the project area. Additionally, these completed initial tasks will result in time savings to the project and to the City of Sunny Isles Beach as we have procured the following information and are ready to implement it into the proposed project:
