In preparing for this proposal, our Project Team, led by Daniel J. Grandal PE, a Certified Floodplain Manager, has reviewed the technical requirements of the project and visited the site to familiarize with the exiting site conditions. Based on the proposal Scope of Services and our understanding of the project needs, the critical goals for the project are as follows: "Complete design development for the construction of a drainage system along 174th Street, from Collins A venue west to just beyond the first complex curve and consisting of an interconnected system discharging into a deep gravity well or an outfall or a combination of both" To accomplish these goals, we will not only look at providing an interconnected system with deep wells and/or outfalls, but we will also identify other potential solutions attainable under the project budget. The existing and proposed drainage systems will be analyzed and modeled using ICPR or other modeling software to determine the various possible solutions to prevent flooding in the area. Finished floor elevations, and garage and site elevations will be analyzed to quantify the protection of private property provided by the improvements in compliance with FEMA CRS guidelines for repetitive loss properties. We are prepared to work with the City in implementing a value added approach to the project, taking the opportunity to maximize the design effort for project, and provide a phased multi-year construction approach to correct the deficiencies of the entire 1741h Street corridor, including pavement conditions, ADA compliance, improved streetscapping and other general corridor improvements. We believe that engaging our firm for this project will bring to the City the resources of a multidisplinary firm with 23 years of experience and over 140 professionals and support staff committed to improving the quality of life of the residents of the Winston Towers area and surrounding areas. We look forward to this opportunity to work with City of Sunny Isles Beach on this important project. Sincerely, Corzo Castella Carballo Thompson Salman, PA (C3TS) .~ Jorge E.
