CIVIL ENGINEERING SERVICES TO DESIGN STREET AND DRAINAGE IMPROVE ~5~~ ' BID NO. 11-11-02 N~D METHODOLOGY r 1 J effectiveness of the proposed solutions for varying storm events, Our Team will provide several solutions with their associated cost estimates and our recommendations for the City's evaluation. When the proposed solution is selected, we will prepare plans and specifications in accordance to local, state and federal regulations, Our familiarity with these projects will allow us to quickly get the project designed, permitted and constructed. , 1 J C3TS has extensive experience in roadway improvements, beautifying areas with streetscape and landscaping while providing necessary infrastructure including drainage, water and sewer, Additional engineering experience includes numerous roadway improvements including widenings, reconstruction, drainage upgrades, signalized intersections, and traffic calming, as well as major highway and interchange work. C3TS provides an integrated approach with innovative solutions to satisfy the City and its residents. I , A few examples of our recent experience are shown in the related project experience and range from small localized ponding projects to large regional drainage studies, Of special note is Belle Meade Drainage and Roadway Improvements which was recently completed for the City of Miami. This project consisted of drainage and roadway improvements for over 60 acres of residential neighborhood on the coast. The area is tidally influenced and many of the roadways were built below the seasonal high tides. As a result, the street floods up to two feet of water several times during the year. The existing drainage system did not meet the minimum standards established by the City and was extremely flood prone. C3TS analyzed several solutions including pump assisted wells, exfiltration trenches and a large pump station, The City decided to go with a combination of oufall to the bay via a large pump station for the lower areas assisted by exfiltration trenches for the areas with higher elevations. In order to minimize cost, a resurfacing plan with a combination of milling and resurfacing and partial reconstruction was developed. Additional elements of the project included sidewalk repairs, new curb and gutter, lighting improvements, and landscaping, The project was completed successfully and for the first time since its inception, the residents do not have to deal with tidal flooding and are protected up to a 100-year storm event. -! I- 1 STORMWATER MASTER PLANNING AND ASSET MANAGEMENT The C3TS Team is experienced in the preparation and execution of Stormwater Master Plans and Floodplain Managements Plans. C3TS is proud to have assisted the City of North Miami in the preparation of the North Miami Floodplain Management Plan that successfully improved the City's CRS Class 4 which it has maintained, We also recently assisted Miami Lakes in obtaining a CRS Class 4 from a Class 6. Our team has the expertise in local drainage solutions and hydraulic modeling to prepare a superior master plan that will focus on feasible solutions. We have not only planned but also constructed the drainage facilities including pump stations, exfiltration trench systems, direct outfalls to canals or other water bodies, gravity and drainage wells, Our extensive experience in local drainage systems and conditions will help strengthen the master plan by providing viable solutions with accurate cost and schedules, Drainage solutions would be provided for varying levels of protection including schematic design and cost estimates. This allows the City to submit for grant funding for projects that provide higher level protection with funding that was previously beyond the City's reach. These projects providing protection for 25-year and 100-year storms would be eligible for credit under FEMA's Community Rating system to potentially improve the City's Class. PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS AND PUBLIC HEARINGS It would not be uncommon for the Civil Consultant to be asked to make public presentation before the City Commission, before other regulatory bodies, or to the public, C3TS is very experienced and knowledgeable in making such presentations, preparing exhibits, handouts, and responding to questions in non-technical language that is understandable to residents and stakeholders, We have made presentations to elected bodies as well as to the public at public hearings and at informal neighborhood gatherings, and we have conducted charrettes and brainstorming sessions, some with the public present and others with stakeholders. When conducting charrettes and brainstorm sessions, we have guidelines for the facilitator and the group to follow. 48
