rl l r 1 r 1 r 1 r 1 ~ 1 ~ 1 ~ I and tidal flooding problems at Riviera Isles (Phase I) for the City of Fort Lauderdale. Proposed drainage improvements include 6 deep drainage wells and three pump stations. Survey: Consul Tech Enterprises} Inc. is a CSA company and therefore, we have in-house capabilities to perform all survey needs requested in the RFQ. Consul Tech utilizes the newest technology when performing topographic surveys. Consul Tech employs the use of several data collections systems such as Real Time Kinematic (RTKL Digital Echo-sounders} Electronic Digital levels} Robotic Total Stations} Electronic Field Book (EFB) and Cadastral Electronic Field Book (CEFB). We have a highly experienced staff equipped with the latest software} including the Micro Station XM} GeoPak} CAiCE} AutoCAD} and Softdesk. We can provide any electronic format of data delivery that may be required. The most critical element in performing a boundary survey is the initial research of the property along with the extensive review of any matters of record which affect the property that are reflected in a title report or commitment. A clear and correct legal description must be calculated and written to reflect the boundary. The legal description should also be checked against any adjoining properties to ensure that there are no JJgapsJJ or JJoverlapsJJ which may affect the subject properties. Once the legal description has been created and/or verified} a field crew is dispatched to the property in order to locate any sectionalized land corners or other monumented corners that have been referenced in the legal description. If the monumented corners are not found} then additional field work is performed in order to gather sectional information needed in the re-establishment of lost or obliterated corners. Once calculated and re-set} a Certified Corner Record form is completed and filed with the appropriate agencies. Consul Tech has extensive experience in the re- establishment of lost and obliterated corners} having retraced a number of sections throughout south and central Florida. The final phase of a boundary survey is to locate any improvements as specified by the client I , I l J , 1 l 1 I f I c I l J 1 J , J , J and prepare a sketch of survey depicting the results. Geotech n ica I: CSA has teamed up with HRES, Inc. which has extensive knowledge of soils conditions and have performed numerous geotechnical test I the vicinity of the project area. The expertise of HRES} Inc. is very valuable for our team since we can evaluate in advance the proper methodology for the drainage design and construction. HRES} Inc. considers that on West of Collins Avenue} the percolation test results may be around E-S to E-6 because of the silt/muck layers. On Collins and east of Collins, the values are good, E-3} E-4. As we approach North Bay Road} our experience indicates that below the pavement there are 3-4 feet offill material followed by organics and silt layers down to 7 to 10 feet. Then} the sands may be found. Near the Intracoastal, these subsurface conditions worsen. As we approach Collin Avenue} the subsurface conditions get better because of the sand bar along Collins Avenue. Utilities: Utility Coordination is one of the items that typically can delay any project if the coordination is not executed as scheduled. To perform this important activity, we have assigned F.R. Aleman & Associates} Inc.} a DBE certified firm and an industry leader in utility coordination and execution process that will ensure the most experienced professionals are handling this critical element of the design process. This process will begin during the Initial Engineering phase and continue until utility clearance certifications are obtained. Plans Production: . Final Design Upon approval or acceptance from the City of the design Alternative chosen} work commences with the preparation of final construction plans} specifications and cost estimates. In developing the final construction plans, we will review the following major milestones: 30% design} 60% design} 90% design and 100% design. Much of the 30% design ,,"'IW... .. .0."'
