City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida Marine and Coastal Professional Engineering Consulting Services (CCNA) | RFQ No. 18‐02‐01 Aptim Environmental & Infrastructure, Inc. 31 01C032018D Jordon Cheifet, PE, CFM Project Manager Jordon Cheifet, PE, CFM has been selected as Project Manager for the City’s engineering tasks. He is a marine/coastal engineer with more than 12 years of technical and project management experience, including beach programs, waterfront structure design, FEMA coastal floodplain mapping, shoreline restoration/protection design, numerical modeling, and marina design. Mr. Cheifet is a registered professional engineer in the State of Florida and a Certified Floodplain Manager. He gained significant experience working in the City of Sunny Isles Beach with his former firm. Mr. Cheifet was the engineer of record of the Phase II – Coastal Structures Feasibility Study prepared for the City in 2015. The report updated the original Phase I Study’s recommendations, prepared for the City in 2009, based on recently completed or planned beach management projects in South Florida, the feasibility of coastal structures, a beach performance evaluation, the current environmental regulatory climate, and available funding strategy mechanisms. Mr. Cheifet also evaluated the use and feasibility of innovative technologies for beach management in the City. In addition to his work on the Phase II Study, Mr. Cheifet performed an underwater assessment of the two submerged breakwaters located at the north end of the City. The structures were built in 2001 to mitigate end losses associated with a large fill project at that time. The underwater assessment found the structures to have reduced height and cross‐section resulting from storm impacts and settlement. Recommendations for repair were provided in an Underwater Investigation Report to the City. Mr. Cheifet also worked with private developers at his former firm to support condominium development in the City. This work included securing Coastal Construction Control Line permits, performing 100‐year storm erosion analyses, wave load analyses, hydraulic flow analyses, and FEMA Letters of Map Change. Beau Suthard, PG Marine Geophysicist Mr. Suthard has been with APTIM since 2005 conducting coastal and marine geophysical, geotechnical and hydrographic surveys. He has conducted multiple full geologic mapping studies required for engineering projects (including both field operations and office‐based data processing, analysis, and interpretation), geologic stratigraphic evaluations, sediment search investigations and cultural resource investigations including sidescan sonar, seismic‐reflection, fathometer, and magnetometer surveys. He has conducted vibracore collection and analysis in support of large‐scale mapping and hydrographic projects of multiple coastal and estuarine systems throughout the southern and eastern United States and Brazil. Douglas Mann, PE, D.CE Senior Coastal Engineer Douglas Mann, PE, will provide coastal engineering services to the City. His expertise in permitting and managing coastal armoring structures will assist the City in addressing your coastal structural challenges. Mr. Mann has permitted over 75 Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) permits for clients ranging from coastal armoring structures, to public dune overwalks, and dune restorations.
