City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida Marine and Coastal Professional Engineering Consulting Services (CCNA) | RFQ No. 18‐02‐01 Aptim Environmental & Infrastructure, Inc. 16 01C032018D APTIM will prepare for, and attend, the pre‐construction meeting to coordinate with the contractor, and as required to address the project and permit requirements, review the construction methodology, technical specifications and schedule, address construction access and work areas, any specific conditions, and monitoring requirements. These items will be discussed with the contractor, contractor's associated sub‐contractors, environmental regulatory agencies, and other involved parties. We will coordinate communication and reporting protocols for the duration of contractor mobilization, construction, and demobilization activities. Project Construction Administration and Observation Services APTIM brings complete marine and coastal engineering project construction administration and observation experience to the City. General services include contract and permit administration, agency and contractor coordination, plans and specification administration, construction supervision, quality control/assurance through daily reporting and various engineering services to monitor the project progress, contractor invoice review and recommendation, project completion certification, and public contact as required by the City and other elements of the project. The extent of services can be tailored to support the City’s needs. Some clients have requested a site observer 24 hours per day, while other clients select to have an observer only visit once or twice per week and shoulder more of the day‐to‐day details with in‐ house staff. We will observe the project construction process to determine if the contractor is in substantial compliance with both contract documents and project permits. If not already being performed by the contractor, APTIM can also conduct any water quality, protected species, and daily sediment quality control monitoring required. Our technical personnel are trained and experienced in understanding compliance observation of marine and coastal engineering projects. APTIM will review all contractor submittals and will notify the contractor, the City, and the permitting agencies, as required, of any inconsistencies or problems with the submittals. APTIM will provide periodic reports to the City that summarizes the progress of construction and compliance with the permit and contract, including, but not limited to, equipment issues, problems encountered during project construction, methods to correct problems, success in problem correction, errors, omissions, or deviations from the Contract Documents, and weather conditions that may have affected project construction. APTIM will also review project invoices and change order requests and provide recommendations to the City. APTIM will attend periodic progress meetings with the Contractor and regulatory agencies as appropriate during construction. We are very familiar with the latest sediment QA/QC, dredge monitoring, and environmental monitoring methods and requirements. Post-Construction Services APTIM will continue to assist the City beyond the construction phase of your projects. Depending on the project, state and federal permits may require post‐construction physical and/or biological monitoring to ensure the project performs as designed without unanticipated environmental impacts. We can perform comprehensive post‐construction surveying and reporting to meet your specific project needs. In cases where projects involve unavoidable APTIM provides oversight of coastal construction projects throughout Florida and the U.S.
