SURVEYORS Robayna and Associates, Inc City of Sunny Isles Beach RFQ No, 11-11-02 r 1 The definition of a complete bid set of plans has developed over the last thirty years. With the advent of 3D CADD software it has become more complicated yet easier to prepare plans which are considered complete and consistent. r 1 d. Detailing elements that are to be protected, kept, repaired or removed from the road. As in every project where a road is being upgraded and drainage is being retrofitted each exiting element needs to be reviewed for how it fits or should fit into the future of that roadway. R&A will gladly provide its recommendations to the City and its Residents relating to any element within the right-of-way and based on the City's request provide a mean to protect, repair, remove or replace an element. Over the years residents have become attached to certain things, which may define their neighborhood and no design project should strip them of any sense of individuality. F 1 I r I I i I ] I i 1 I I J e. Obtaining all Permits for the City During the initial conversations with the permitting agencies and when the 30% design is complete a clear picture of the Permitting Agencies will be developed. This will be dependent upon the design elements and will include the following Departments besides the City; Miami. Dade County, FDOT, FDEP and potentially SFWMD for the outfalls unless it is delegated to Miami-Dade County PERA. , t f. Geotechnical Information R&A has complemented its services with US South Engineering and Testing Labs for numerous years over countless projects. US South has had a great track record of providing and coordinating its geotechnical services as needed for engineering designs in an effective manner. g. Easement Acquisition R&A's survey department has assisted other municipalities and the County in acqumng easements and additional right-of-way since the early 80's and will be able to coordinate with the project manger in defining the most practical stretch of land for the location of outfall given the criteria from Miami-Dade County PERA Coastal and the City. R&A has had extensive experience in bathymetric surveying, which will be needed in defining the feasibility of the outfall location. h. Additional Services which may be needed per Agencies. Upon completion of an initial design, meetings will be coordinated with all agencies, which have jurisdiction in order to define their requirements to the letter and be sure that we meet the requirements through the permitting phase of the project. All meeting minutes will be written and provided to the agency and the City for accountability. 2. Project Limits are one of the most important items to define at the start of the project; more so when dealing with connections to a signalized intersection of an FDOT maintained roadway. The limits will be coordinated with the City to include the location of the outfall. 3, Our staff and sub consultants are experienced, enthusiastic and courteous engineers and surveyors who know that this is a people serving people industry. Additionally, they are dedicated to solving problems for our clients not creating them. 4. The duty of R&A is first and foremost to The City and protecting the interests of the City and its Residents though the design, permitting and construction of the project. The goal is to provide a design, which is economically feasible while meeting the written requirements of the departments involved. 5, As mentioned previously above, R&A has prepared easement surveys with legal descriptions in coordination with other municipalities and the County in the past.
