) ) ) REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS RFQ No.: 11-11-02 CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH CIVIL ENGINEERING TO DESIGN STREET AND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY Methodolo2V and Approach The City of Sunny Isles Beach has very unique conditions in regards to stormwater management. These features include: I) relatively flat topography, with low lying coastal areas; 2) high ground water elevations, which are subject to tidal influences; 3) environmentally sensitive ecosystems, which are situated in densely populated urbanized areas; and 4) extreme weather patterns associated with tropical storm events. Given the nature of these circumstances and their effects on coastal communities, it is vital that a comprehensive and cost-effective stormwater management system is implemented. The system should comply with the criteria required by the Federal, State and, local regulatory agencies. The P &A Team has invested considerable effort in examining the scope of this project - both historically and qualitatively. Our design team has reviewed the existing documents and conducted a field review to understand the proposed improvements under this contract. This will prove paramount in helping the P&A Team adhere to any aggressive design schedule and facilitate the completion of construction documents as well as efficiently delegate man-hours, which will stay within the budget. Furthermore, we have identified unique components which will address the line items listed in the scope of services. These items are indentified in the following subsections and our method and approach is designed to produce deliverables that are on time and within the budget. Survey The P&A Survey Team shall update and spot check the eXlstmg survey to be provided electronically by the City. Services include verification of horizontal and vertical control used for existing survey and updated survey. Surface features of utilities and permanent improvements shall be shown. Gravity utility lines (i.e., sanitary, and storm sewer) shall have rim elevations verified and inve11s shall be spot checked. The location and verification of all other underground utility lines are not included. Only surface features of the utility shall be verified and located. Trees and landscaping shall also be verified and updated. Elevations shall be spot checked throughout the project site with particular emphasis in the areas surrounding rim and grate elevations. Elevations shall be relative to the City of Beach Isles Datum. All survey work shall be done in accordance with the Minimum Technical Standards set forth by the Florida Board of Professional Surveyors and Mappers in Chapter 61 G 17 -6 of the Florida Administrative Code.
