Our Team recognizes the importance of the existing Storm Sewer Pump Station that serves the Golden Shores Neighborhood and the positive steps the City is taking to improve the performance of this structure. To accomplish this task, the City requires a technically proficient and committed partner with extensive experience delivering complex design of Storm Sewer Pumping Stations, including planning, design, permitting and post-design services. Such a partner must be familiar with the technical challenges of these types of projects; the APCTE Team is that partner. Our technical capabilities will ensure the development of a rehabilitation program that will guarantee the completion of this project in schedule and within the planned budget. <br />Our Team has already started the evaluation process, and as shown in this Technical Proposal, has already identified the most critical deficiencies of the Golden Shores Drainage System. A preliminary proposal on how to mitigate these deficiencies is already stated in this document for the City’s consideration. The Golden Shores Neighborhood drainage system is based on swales with catch basins located at several locations that collects runoff generated by roads and adjacent properties. The total drainage area estimated is approximately 70 Acres. It is observed that some of the existing inlets were recently replaced and upsized. These drainage structures are connected to a storm sewer transmission system, which ultimately discharges into the existing Stormwater Pumping Station. The existing Station is located at the northwest corner of this neighborhood and could be accessed through N. bay Road. The Pump Station has four (4) main structures: Trash Rack Structure, Wet Well, Control Structure and a Generator Room. There is also a level recording gauge installed at the trash rack structure. The stormwater is pumped to a drainage well located at the control structure. This well overflows into another existing drainage well that overflows into another drainage well, which is 200 feet from the station. The existing control structure has a weir that overflows into the Intracoastal Waterway. <br />Based on information provided by the City of Sunny Isles Beach, the existing drainage system provides the level of service required for this neighborhood and no flooding complaints have been reported. However, the entire drainage system, including the existing pumping station needs to be inspected, repaired and improved or retrofitted. Conditions of catch basins, drainage pipes, wells, pumps, electrical system, mechanical system and outfall structure will be accurately assessed, and relevant recommendations will be provided to the City. Our team will develop a complete rehabilitation plan to improve the conditions of the existing drainage system. At the pump stations site several deficiencies were observed including but not limited to: <br />SECTION C - COVER LETTER AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
