H&M’s in-house expertise and experience in coastal process modeling led by Dr. Dabees has established modeling procedures which have set an industry standard now adopted by other firms. It is important to recognize however, that modeling is an effective tool used in conjunction with coastal engineering experience providing insight in the evaluation of alternatives for design optimization. H&M has been established in Florida since 1991, Brett Moore, co-founder of the company, has remained actively involved in the design and implementation of these projects. <br />Sea Diversified, Inc. (SDI) is a privately owned and operated multi-disciplinary surveying and mapping firm, specializing in coastal and offshore projects, with fully-staffed and established offices in Delray Beach (Palm Beach County) and Melbourne (Brevard County). SDI was founded by William T. Sadler Jr., P.E., P.S.M., a long-time resident of Florida and graduate of Florida Atlantic University with a B.S. Degree in Ocean Engineering. SDI is a Small Business Enterprise, certified in the field of surveying and mapping by recognized government agencies such as FDOT, South Florida Water Management District, and Palm Beach County. Mr. Sadler maintains an active state license in surveying and mapping and, to fulfill his desire for diversity, holds an active state license as a professional engineer and a building contractor. SDI was originally organized in 2004 to provide surveying and mapping services with a corporate objective to remain small and specialized yet diversified in order to best fulfill the needs of the industry.

Although SDI offers a wide range of surveying and mapping services, the firm specializes in coastal and oceanographic data collection and mapping. SDI has conducted numerous beach and nearshore profile surveys throughout the State of Florida and has a complete understanding of State survey criteria including the Monitoring Standards for Beach Erosion Control Projects developed by the FDEP Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems (BBCS). Additionally, SDI has experience with sand search programs encompassing bathymetric data collection combined with side scan sonar surveys for identification and mapping of exposed natural and manmade features on the seafloor; sub-bottom profile surveys for assessment and quantification of sand resources; magnetometer investigations for detection and mapping of buried features of ferrous composition including items that may be of cultural significance; and diver investigations for groundtruthing the results of the remote sensing operations. SDI’s field data collection protocol, data processing procedures, as well as final charts, GIS integration and electronic deliverables will meet or exceed the requirements of the City of Sunny Isles Beach. SDI is unique to the industry in that the firm specializes in surveys on land and in water including operations in some of the most remote and difficult terrain in central and south Florida. SDI field crews are equipped and trained to work in areas where most firms are not willing or capable. Calvin, Giordano & Associates and the City of Sunny Isles Beach will benefit from having SDI onboard with the understanding that the firm possesses the experience, versatility, local knowledge, and ability to perform survey work within the most challenging areas of the City.SDI has a dedicated staff of in-house personnel trained to utilize MicroStation, AutoCAD and various other software utilized in the creation, manipulation, and publication of many types of GIS mapping projects including aerial photography, side scan sonar mosaics, and three dimensional graphical representations of topography and bathymetry. SDI has experience in building, populating and delivering personal, file and multi-user geodatabases that conform to the Spatial Data Standards for facilities, infrastructure and the Environment (SDSFIE) used by the Department of <br />32
