(P&A) and our partners Jaffer Well Drilling, and F.R. Aleman & Associates, is pleased to present our Letter of Response for the Civil Engineering Services to Design Street and Drainage Improvements for the above referenced project. We are certain that we can provide the City of Sunny Isles with the resources needed to meet the published regulations, guidelines, and design standards required by local, state and federal agencies. In addition, we look forward to providing the City of Sunny Isles with Professional Engineering and Construction Administration Services which addresses the task items outlined in the scope of services. Our technical expertise and firm-wide commitment to customer service and high professional standards have earned us peer and industry recognition. Our team is dedicated in providing the technical sound deliverables which are on time and within budget. Our staff is well versed in the modeling of complex stormwater management systems associated with urban coastal communities in Miami-Dade County and we will apply Best Management Practice to ensure that the storm water design will comply with the various regulatory agencies and provide a desired Level of Service (LOS). Our team understands the goals of this project and we have carefully studied the scope of services and identified the major stakeholders. Mr. Derrick Lewis, P.E., Senior Project Manager, is assigned as the Project Manager and will serve as the intermediary point-of-contact. As the Project Manager, Mr. Lewis' primary responsibility will be allocating personnel necessary in establishing the most cost effective alternatives in providing a viable Storm water Management System Mr. Lewis has 13 years of experience with a variety of Storm water Management Systems and understands the nuisances, policies and guidelines offederal, state and local agencies. During his tenure with Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Mr. Lewis served as a member of the Drainage Technical Advisory Committee and is well versed in pertinent trends in storm water management Due to the changes in the NPDES criteria, our team recognizes that a lack of adequate coordination with the regulatory agencies - Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM), Florida Department of Environmental Protection, (FDEP) and United States Army Corps of Engineers (USAE) - could significantly delay the project schedule or derail the entire project entirely. Therefore, it will be one of main focuses. The implementation of a comprehensive project schedule that makes permitting a top priority will be developed to ensure that all environmental permitting issues are identified at the pre-application meeting and coordinated with the regulatory agencies in a fashion that mitigates the bureaucratic process associated with the review process. In summary, we are excited about the opportunity that this RFQ provides for our firm and the City of Sunny Isles. We look forward to your favorable consideration and allowing us to further explain our team's approach to the project in a flJrmal presentation.
