Village of EsteroSunny Isles Beach RFQ 18-02-01 | Marine and Coastal Professional Engineering Consulting Services APPROACHThe Beach, Marine, and Intracoastal Waterway Engineering Services under this contract will be provided by CGA's in-house staff, in concert with Humiston and Moore Engineers, PA (H&M). Approach to Services – The CGA team has managed the successful implementation of a number of beach, marine, and intracoastal waterway engineering projects from conceptual design through data collection, technical analysis, coastal processes modeling, state and federal permitting, bid document preparation through construction observation, project certification and post construction monitoring. A general approach to a marine or coastal project is outlined below: Development of Project Goals and Scope of Work: The CGA Team will meet with project partners to establish project goals, expected project performance, construction budgets and timelines. An on-site meeting is recommended after which a detailed Scope of Work and related costs can be developed. Local interests, project stakeholders, and all project partners if other than the City need to be identified to ensure efficient communication of the progress of the project for necessary involvement throughout the project. Background Review, Data, Aerials and LiteratureReview the local, state and federal databases such as the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), National Atmospheric and Oceanic Administration (NOAA), Department of Transportation (DOT), and City and County for historic data and studies including hydrographic surveys, historical aerials, environmental mapping, sea turtle nesting data, shorebird monitoring data, and geotechnical data.Develop a specific survey scope to ensure filling data gaps and overlap with any meaningful historic data. Data collection will also need to include anticipated regional as well as localized coastal processes modeling. Pre-Application Meeting with DEP StaffMeet with DEP permitting staff on a consultation/pre-application basis, including representation from the City, to discuss the feasibility of an initial approach to address the identified erosion problem.Involve staff of Joint Coastal Permitting (JCP) under direction of Lainie Edwards, Engineering under Bob Brantly, Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) under Tony McNeal, and Beach Management Program under Rob Buda, if State funding is involved. Include invitations to the staff of Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC) as necessary. Any hardbottom issues will need early involvement with JCP environmental staff.Specifics of data collection, including bathymetry, tidal and current data, and environmental surveys should be confirmed prior to proceeding with the data collection to avoid remobilization for additional field work. Initial Data Collection and Analysis1. Supplement hydrographic survey data with updated information based on agreed upon scope with DEP. Include tidal, current and wave data as deemed necessary in the pre-application meeting.2. Schedule current environmental assessment of project area including any necessary submerged aquatic vegetation surveys and natural resource BEACH, MARINE, AND INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY ENGINEERING 9
