We will use our engineering expertise, geotechnical knowledge, and comprehensive understanding of regulatory requirements in the State of Florida for the betterment of the program in designing projects that meet the needs of the City. Geotechnical Services CPE’s marine and coastal geologists can also be engaged to permit new sand sources in coordination with our engineers and biologists to ensure that only high quality and beach compatible sand is placed on City PROJECT APPROACH AND UNDERSTANDING CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH RFQ NO 20-07-01 SECTION D – PROJECT APPROACH AND UNDERSTANDING COASTAL PROTECTION ENGINEERING LLC | PAGE 5 beaches. CPE can conduct geological and geophysical investigations to support the design and our biologists can investigate and assess any potential natural resources that may be in proximity to the proposed project area. These efforts will help ensure protection of sensitive habitats or species of concern and facilitate project permitting. The information generated from the geotechnical and biological investigations, along with engineering design coordination, will result in upland sand sources that are cost effective and placed in an environmentally responsible manner. Evaluation, M onitoring, and R eporting At the City’s direction, CPE will be available to assist in evaluating alternatives to facilitate the incorporation of program improvements. The evaluation will be tailored to the unique behavior and goals of the City of Sunny Isles Beach segment and Baker’s Haulover Inlet and shoal environment. If needed, our expert numerical modelers can use Delft3D Flow and Morphology models to evaluate the alternatives or work closely with USACE to perform such evaluations. CPE’s engineers and oceanographers assess specific project area needs and determine the most effective solutions to keep as much sand as possible on City beaches in a cost-efficient manner. Upon completion of a construction event, CPE will be prepared to provide physical, biological, and environmental monitoring of the City’s projects per the respective permit requirements and monitoring plans. We will work with local licensed surveyors (preferably an MBE firm) along with our CPE biologists to perform the field work that will be used by the engineers and biologist to each prepare the required reporting to maintain permit compliance and assess project performance. All surveys conducted will be performed to FDEP and USACE specifications and submitted to the agencies in compliance with the project permits. We commit to coordinating with the City and FDEP to ensure the most efficient monitoring schedule for the City and combine survey events or utilize existing data where practical for monitoring, saving time and resources. Inlet Management Mr. Pierro is an industry recognized expert in inlet management and recently assisted the City of Sunny Isles Beach by communicating the City’s concerns with the Bakers-Haulover Inlet Management Plan prior to founding CPE. While at a former firm, he and other CPE professionals have prepared inlet management studies on behalf of local government clients, including new studies and updates to existing plans. These studies are developed with standard inlet management practices that are tailored to the unique behavior and goals of each inlet and shoal environment. For more complex studies, our expert numerical modelers use Delft3D Flow and Morphology models to assist with the alternatives analysis by comparing coastal processes such as wave height and direction, sediment transport pathways, inlet and shoal complex morphology, and borrow area infilling rates. Regulatory P ermitting CPE staff have a long history of obtaining Joint Coastal Permits (JCP) and other coastal permits from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and Department of the Army (DA) Permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Stacy Buck manages permitting for our east coast clients and will lead environmental tasks for the City under this contract. Ms. Buck has prior local experience coordinating with DERM on seagrass surveys for Dinner Key, which further bolsters her knowledge of the South Florida coastal environment. PROJECT APPROACH AND UNDERSTANDING CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH RFQ NO 20-07-01 SECTION D – PROJECT APPROACH AND UNDERSTANDING COASTAL PROTECTION ENGINEERING LLC | PAGE 6 Once a project has been identified for permitting, CPE utilizes our provide approach that aims to prepare comprehensive applications and provide the environmental data upfront to expedite regulatory review and permit issuance. Throughout the process, we utilize our strong working relationships with regulatory agency staff established through years of coordination and mutual professional respect. This directly benefits our clients because the trust built over the years between our staff and the agencies facilitates efficient coordination and communication. The marine biologists assigned to this project are also professionally trained in the implementation of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and have prepared numerous Environmental Impact Statements (EIS) and Environmental Assessments (EA) for both the USACE and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM). As a result, we have the credentials to prepare supporting documents, such as Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) assessments, Biological Assessments (BA) and Cumulative Effects Assessments (CEA) in order to assist coordination with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Construction Documents and Construction Administration Plans and Specifications – Based on the extensive experience our staff has with construction projects, CPE prepares plans and specifications that minimize construction costs to the greatest extent practicable, while ensuring the projects are constructed as permitted and designed. Our plans and specifications traditionally provide all the data and detail required by contractors to competently bid and construct the project, whether design for navigation, stabilization, beach nourishment, or a combination. In developing these documents, we strive to be proactive with our client’s procurement procedures to avoid duplication and conflict in conditions to integrate technical portions seamlessly with general contract provisions. We will also provide a cost estimate making full use of available market data and project aspects such as recently bid projects, construction contractor and equipment availability, sediment source location, and additional construction requirements. Bid Assistance - CPE will assist in the bidding process for construction of the project at whatever level the City deems appropriate. For example, this may include attending a pre-bid meeting with interested contractors, assisting the City in addressing contractor questions, vetting bidder qualifications, and providing a formal recommendation for contractor selection.

PROJECT APPROACH AND UNDERSTANDING CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH RFQ NO 20-07-01 SECTION D – PROJECT APPROACH AND UNDERSTANDING COASTAL PROTECTION ENGINEERING LLC | PAGE 8 Innovative Concepts and Advanced Technologies CPE’s strength is our foundation of engineers with coastal-specific training and experience supported by industry leading professionals who are solution seekers, coastal science experts, fluent with today’s permitting environment, and execute projects that are on the cutting edge of coastal science. The behavior of beaches, inlets, and shorelines are complex and dynamic. CPE is on the forefront of coastal engineering numerical modeling and excels in practical applications of advanced 3D morphology models that are the basis for providing the feasibility information necessary to demonstrate changes to coastal programs. Our modeling studies are developed by coastal engineers and scientists who are strongly grounded in coastal process theory and applications. CPE has continuously upgraded our coastal modeling capabilities to include models such as DELFT3D, XBEACH, MIKE21, SLOSH, the complete suite of USACE numerical models, and custom tools for project specific analyses. As a result, our professionals have emerged as industry leaders in coastal applications of DELFT3D, the most advanced process-based model in the world. This expertise provides the City of Sunny Isles the opportunity to evaluate modifications to the program with projects that are effective in holding sand and reduce the need to mobilize additional truck haul projects. CPE has the in-house staff that understands the geotechnical, shoreline change, and outreach tools necessary for the City of Sunny Isles to successfully implement and effectively communicate their coastal engineering projects. Dr. Robertson visited all the potential upland sand sources for Florida in 2012, and Ms. Brenner has since permitted upland sand sources for multiple projects from multiple sources, along with certified beach nourishment projects using upland sand as a source. It is important that the City consider all available sand sources as prices can vary, and other sources are available for Miami-Dade beaches in addition to the Vulcan Witherspoon mine. CPE is currently executing a project where we are writing the programs that quantify coastal change for USACE. The original project quantified coastal change from more than 2,000 LiDAR data sets on 3,290 km of Gulf of Mexico and east US coastline to measure shoreline and volume differences within GIS using a custom Python-coded system. This project has evolved to enhance USACE’s capabilities to quantify coastal change following storms and to quantify the resiliency of a beach which highlights more and less protected areas of the coastline. The USACE toolbox is further detailed in the enclosed project description and can be applied to the City of Sunny Isles Beach by utilizing existing lidar and beach profile data to quantify coastal change over multiple time intervals and identify areas that require additional fortification to reduce vulnerabilities. It is critical for the citizens of Sunny Isles Beach to understand why the City makes decisions to move forward with certain public works and coastal engineering projects typically require some level of outreach. CPE works daily in GIS and CAD environments to create maps and plans that support our coastal engineering projects. Whether a meeting requires maps for handouts or effective slides to communicate complex studies, CPE is prepared to support the City of Sunny Isles Beach with helping their citizens understand their coastal engineering projects.

YEAR COMPLETED PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONSTRUCTION (If applicable) Improve USACE JALBTCX Toolbox Capabilities, Nationwide USACE Coastal Protection Engineering LLC Subconsultant to USACE contractorBoca Raton, Florida CPE is currently assisting the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Joint Airborne Lidar Bathymetry Technical Center of Expertise (JALBTCX) by creating tools that quantify shoreline change, volume change, and resiliency. The original project quantified coastal change from more than 2,000 lidar data sets on 3,290 km of Gulf of Mexico and east US coastline using a grid-based approach to measure shoreline and volume differences within GIS using a custom Python-coded system. Following Hurricane Matthew, the JALBTCX toolbox was updated to rapidly quantify shoreline and volume change to allow for USACE to provide their Districts shoreline and volume change quantifications within five days of lidar data collection. This information has been critical for USACE to know where and how much damage was caused by the storm and provided the data needed to justify where emergency response was necessary. The current project is being led by Dr. Robertson to update the JALBTCX toolbox by: 1) converting feature extraction tools to Python and incorporating into the JALBTCX toolbox, 2) making edits to the JALBTCX toolbox to streamlining the processing steps, 3) updating the JALBTCX toolbox to allow for multiple datasets, and 4) updating the CRI and incorporating into the JALBTCX toolbox. CPE has converted a USACE developed a feature extraction tool using Matlab to ArcGIS Python. The tool extracts the shoreline position, dune toe, dune crests, and beach slope from survey and lidar based profiles . CPE reviewed the tool and developed ArcGIS Python scripts to replicate the Matlab functions, tested the scripts, validated the scripts with existing data and developed a tutorial to teach future users. CPE has updated the JALBTCX toolbox to be more streamlined and process multiple datasets. Past use of the JALBTCX toolbox has revealed repeated steps that have been combined to minimize user interface. The toolbox has been updated to read past data and incorporate additional datasets that expand the change analysis to more than two datasets. The Coastal Resilience Index (CRI) has been developed to quantify the resiliency of beach and dune systems. CRI was developed to leverage the significant amount of beach profile data that USACE collect when designing, installing, and monitoring Coastal Storm Risk Management (CSRM) projects. CRI relies on morphology metrics derived from the feature extraction tools in order to quantify the protective qualities of a coastal system. The index compares the quantification of protective qualities (beach height, beach width, beach density) with disturbance factors (wave height, storm surge, wave runup) to allow for comparison of a beach's resiliency alongshore and to other beach environments.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost) CPE is currently supporting the County’s Sector 5 Beach and Dune Restoration project, the Sector 3 Beach and Dune Renourishment project, and a request to designate Sector 4 as a Critically Eroded Area (CEA). Sector 5 was historically managed through dune restoration so this was the first beach nourishment project constructed along this stretch of shoreline. Project construction for Sector 5 began on November 4, 2019 and was deemed substantially complete on February 28, 2020, with construction observations and support performed by members of CPE. CPE biologists also supported the immediate post- construction biological monitoring, which was conducted in compliance with the FDEP-approved Biological Monitoring Plan. The initial Sector 3 Beach and Dune Restoration Project was completed in three phases between 2010 and 2012 (R-20 to R-55) and a dune repair project was constructed in 2015. CPE staff are currently supporting the permitting effort for the next Sector 3 Beach and Dune Renourishment Project and obtained the FDEP permit in July 2020. We are actively coordinating with USACE to finalize the federal authorization. Additionally, CPE staff are supporting the pre-construction biological monitoring, which is in compliance with the FDEP-approved Biological Monitoring Plan. The anticipated construction start date for the Sector 3 project with tentative plans for 2020 construction. CPE is supporting the County’s request to designate the shoreline between R-51.3 and R-70 as a CEA. The shorelines to the north (Sector 3) and to the south (Sector 5) are already designated CEAs so this area serves as a peripheral segment and may be considered necessary for continuity of management of the coastal system or for the design integrity of adjacent beach management projects, as per Rule. The draft report is currently undergoing internal review before submittal to the County, which, if approved, will qualify this segment of beach for State funding. 25.

YEAR COMPLETED PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONSTRUCTION (If applicable) USACE Regional Sediment Management, Nationwide USACE Coastal Protection Engineering LLC Subcontractor to USACE contractorBoca Raton, Florida CPE, Elko Consulting, and APTIM have inventoried Federal coastal and inland navigation projects to determine the extent to which Regional Sediment Management (RSM) goals have been implemented across the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Districts at the project and District levels. An online GIS database was developed for RSM program managers to view the results and provide feadback to the study in order to streamline the QAQC procedures. RSM placement was quantified (beneficial use vs. disposal) under multiple categories. Tools were developed to improve use of sediments and identify RSM opportunities to compare sediment characteristics of channel and beach disposal areas. These tools were written to ingest USACE nationwide and District data, identify and standardize project names, assign disposal codes and quantify sediment placement metrics. This work has been completed in multiple phases in a coordinated effort. Phase 1 produced a georeferenced Regional Sediment Management (RSM) database that quantified the volume of sediment dredged from Federal navigation channels and directly placed onto beaches based on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Dredging Information System (DIS) Nationwide database. Subsequent phases expanded the effort to include government plant (USACE dredges) data, more detailed USACE District-specific data that were not included in the DIS database, and an emphasis to include all types of beneficial use placement in addition to direct beach placement. An intentional byproduct of this expansion was an interactive web-based tool that accesses the geodatabase and streamlined the review process by allowing the Districts to review the data online. This project documented the development and results of an on-line interactive tool to spatially convey the historic (1998-2018) dredging and placement activities of the USACE Navigation program at both the national and District level. The project evolved into quantifying broader categories of beneficial placement along with a comprehensive assessment of the challenges and opportunities of national RSM implementation. The project examines projects which implement RSM principles for beach and nearshore placement, marsh and habitat creation, and other beneficial use of navigation sediments. Of the approximate 200 to 300 Million cubic yards (Mcy) of sediment dredged annually from navigation channels by the USACE (EPA and USACE, 2007), this study considers roughly 213 Mcy removed annually from navigation projects. In 2007, the USACE estimated that 20 to 30 percent (%) of the total volume dredged is currently used beneficially (EPA and USACE, 2007). This study determined that over the 1998 to 2019 timeframe, 39% of Federal navigation sediments were placed beneficially, which provides a strong basis to place inlet sands on adjacent beaches.

This has provided our team with an in-depth knowledge of the Town’s coastal program needs and project specific details. In addition to the individual projects organized on a reach by reach basis, we have direct experience with the Town-wide studies implemented to continually improve coastal resources management and enhance the Town’s overall resiliency to coastal storms and sea level rise. We have worked on coastal projects in nearly every reach of the Town’s shoreline from Reach 1 through Reach 8, including the following projects: MID-TOWN BEACH NOURISHMENT The Mid-Town Beach Nourishment project includes 2.8 miles of shoreline between R-89 and R-102 in Palm Beach County. Restoration was completed in 1995 between R-95 and R-100, including construction of 11 groins, which were completed in 1996. In 2003, nourishment was completed in an expanded shoreline length between R-90.4 and R- 101.4. The project was nourished using FEMA funds in 2006 in response to the FY 2004-05 hurricane seasons and again in FY 2010-11 to repair damage sustained during Tropical Storm Fay. The project was included in the 2013 Palm Beach Island Beach Management Agreement (BMA) Pilot Project. The Town constructed an expanded Mid-Town Project in 2015 that extended the project northward to R-89 into and southward to R-100. The USACE recently completed construction of the Town’s Mid-Town project, to repair impacts from Hurricanes Matthew and Irma in 2016 and 2017. In the past, the Town constructed the project, but this was the first time the project was built under the leadership of the federal government, marking the beginning of a 50-year partnership with the federal government to protect the Mid-Town beach area. The USACE is paying half the cost, with the Town, Palm Beach County, and the state sharing the remainder. The project was constructed from March - May 2020, placing approximately 700,000 cy of sand and utilizing three hopper dredges and specialized screening equipment.

We provided coastal engineering analyses, construction observations, project management oversight, and environmental services including permit compliance. MID-TOWN GROIN PROJECT Although the Mid-Town Beach Nourishment Project was completed in 2015, the groin that was authorized for construction near R-99.3 was not constructed during the nourishment project. In 2017, we requested state and federal permit modifications on behalf of the Town to construct the groin prior to peak sea turtle nesting season in 2018. Our staff worked with USACE and FDEP to expedite the permit modification to ensure construction would not interfere with nesting season. Additionally, initial authorization did not include consultation with NMFS for Section 7 consultation since the groin was originally planned to be built on the newly nourished beach. Our staff designed the project so that construction of the groin would be built “in the dry,” otherwise consultation would have not made construction feasible for that season. The modification requests were submitted in late December 2017 and the project was deemed substantially complete in May 2018. REACH 8 NOURISHMENT Our staff assisted the Town with NEPA documentation and agency coordination for their Reach 8 nourishment project. The Reach 8 nourishment project was evaluated with an adjoining project in the Southern Palm Beach Island Comprehensive Shoreline Stabilization Project Environmental Impact Statement, which was finalized in 2016. The Town contracted with our team when the USACE requested additional information on the Reach 8 project to facilitate Endangered Species Act Section 7 consultation and consultation under the Magnuson- Stevens Act. Our staff were able to quickly compile the requested information and provide the Town with an artificial reef design to respond to USACE and resource agencies. The response has since been routed for review with the agencies.

We have produced and maintained a comprehensive beach management plan for the County and have continually provided engineering services for the County’s coastal program on Anna Maria Island, including project design, geotechnical investigations, environmental studies, hardbottom monitoring, state and federal permitting, and construction administration required to build the County’s coastal projects. Our history with Manatee County is an example of our dedication to providing a wealth of technical and program management services that benefit our clients. BEACH NOURISHMENT & ARTIFICIAL REEF PROJECT HISTORY 1992/93 Beach Nourishment Project and Artificial Reef Construction. In response to severe erosion on Anna Maria Island, USACE placed approximately 2.32 million cubic yards of sand on 4.6 miles of Anna Maria Island beaches during the initial beach nourishment project. As mitigation for hardbottom impacts, we designed and provided construction oversight for two artificial reefs. 2002 Beach Nourishment Project and Artificial Reef Construction. Nine years later, the County placed approximately 1.9 million cubic yards of sand on 5.2 miles of the Anna Maria Island coastline. As mitigation for the impacts to 0.45 acre of nearshore hardbottom, we engineered and oversaw construction of a 0.44-acre limestone boulder artificial reef in 2005. 2005/06 Beach Nourishment Project. In 2004, Hurricanes Charley and Ivan caused direct impacts to Anna Maria Island. Our team prepared the project plans and specifications, updated the borrow area, obtained permit modifications, and provided construction observation in 2005/06. We helped the County obtain FEMA funding and assisted the County in securing approval of eligibility for FEMA assistance for the City of Anna Maria Island segment, a non-federally authorized section of the project on the north end of the island, also renourished in 2005.

Our staff worked to "piggy-back" the 2011 nourishment of the Coquina Beach project onto the FEMA funded City of Anna Maria Beach Renourishment, saving the County significant costs. We also designed, permitted, and oversaw the construction of a 5-acre artificial reef. We worked with agency staff to reduce the mitigation required for hardbottom impacts, again saving County money. 2014 Beach Nourishment. Coquina Beach was renourished in March 2014 to replace losses due to Tropical Storm Debby and fill the design template to full capacity. We again assisted the County to coordinate the timing of the renourishment to coincide with the 2014 federal project, which resulted in substantial cost savings for the County. Our team provided geotechnical services to identify the sand source, the engineering design, funding acquisition, permitting services, technical consultation, and construction administration to help restore this portion of the island’s receding coastline, while reducing the project cost. 2020 Beach Nourishment and Artificial Reef Construction. CPE is currently assisting the County and USACE with the construction of the federal project and Coquina Beach Nourishment Project, which began in July. The federal project received 2018 supplemental funding, and so by constructing it back-to-back with the Coquina Beach project the County will substantially reduce the mobilization costs as it did in 2014. We completed the beach and borrow area design, permitting, and pre-construction surveys needed to bid the project. We will be providing construction administration and public outreach support throughout construction and completing post-construction biological and physical monitoring. CPE is also providing mitigative artificial reef services to the County in support of both projects, including UMAM assessment, siting, engineering design, construction oversight, and eventually biological monitoring of a 2-acre limestone boulder reef. GEOTEXTILE TUBE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION The Longboat Pass north jetty at the south end of Anna Maria Island has deteriorated over time allowing a significant amount of sand to enter the Pass. In response, our team designed, permitted, and oversaw construction of a shore-perpendicular geotextile tube placed adjacent to the existing porous jetty to stop sand from passing through and reduce beach loss and shoaling. The test installation has functioned extremely well, and the County is pursuing permanent jetty tightening. We are assisting the County with the feasibility study to make permanent improvements to the jetty. CORTEZ GROINS REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT CPE staff assisted the County with the removal of three dilapidated pier-type structures and replaced them with new permeable adjustable groins to maintain shoreline stabilization on Cortez Beach. We Coquina Beach post-construction, 2014 FIRM REFERENCES AND SIMILAR WORK COMPLETED CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH RFQ NO 20-07-01 SECTION F – FIRM REFERENCES AND SIMILAR WORK COMPLETED COASTAL PROTECTION ENGINEERING LLC | PAGE 7 developed the Feasibility Study to evaluate the effects on Cortez Beach and the surrounding beaches due to modifications to the groins, considering various levels of removal, replacement, and permeability of the structures. The Feasibility Study included development of alternatives and numerical modeling analyses. We also assisted with state and federal permitting of the project and provided construction administration and oversight from February 2015 to December 2016. ARTIFICIAL REEF AND HARDBOTTOM MONITORING Due to the presence of nearshore hardbottom in the shallow waters adjacent to Anna Maria Island, mitigation and monitoring have been required to offset project impacts to these resources. Our staff assisted the County locating suitable sites for placement of the artificial reefs and obtaining state and federal permits for their construction. Our engineers designed and oversaw the construction of the 1993, 2005, and 2011 artificial reefs to ensure they were built in compliance with project permits. Following construction of the artificial reefs, our biologists conducted permit-required annual monitoring to document that the reefs succeed at mimicking the natural hardbottom which they are intended to mitigate. These surveys included benthic assessments, fish counts, relief measurements, reef delineation, and collection of photo and video documentation. In addition to monitoring the colonization and succession of the artificial reefs, our biologists monitor the natural nearshore hardbottom to document any potential unanticipated project impacts. We developed and updated the biological monitoring plan for each project in close coordination with FDEP. During annual monitoring surveys, our biologists utilize quadrat-based benthic assessments, sediment measurements, and in situ resource mapping, supplemented by photo and video documentation. Data are analyzed to document any potential secondary impacts related to project construction, and reports are prepared and submitted to agencies as required by permit conditions. CPE is currently assisting the County in locating a site for a new artificial reef that will provide mitigation for the federal and Coquina Beach projects, as well as excess mitigation to provide additional marine habitat and to use if continued hardbottom ever results in the requirement of additional mitigation. We are also working with the County to design and permit a recreational nearshore snorkel reef in the shallow nearshore waters adjacent to Coquina Beach.

In 2005/06, we worked with the USACE Mobile District and the local sponsor to fast-track the emergency restoration of the beach following impacts from Hurricane Ivan. Our professionals quantified storm losses that qualified for FEMA and USACE emergency funding. Our staff helped to locate and identify additional local borrow area sites, which ultimately saved construction time and reduced local costs. We worked together with USACE and TDC to expedite design and permitting and continued to assist during construction, which began in April 2005 under the direction of USACE. A total of 3.3 MCY of sand were placed along 17 miles of Panama City Beach, a portion of which included a truck haul project in Carillon Beach and Pinnacle Port Reach. Our staff assisted the USACE in assessing the 2005 hurricane impacts to the project area, which allowed for the planning of a 2011 project addressing the 2005 storm losses (constructed fall 2011).

Based on annual monitoring data, the need for a hot spot nourishment project was identified. In spring 2017 a hot spot renourishment project was constructed placing nearly 1 MCY of high-quality sand on the beach to address four narrow areas and bring them back in line with the rest of the project. The 2017 project used three dredges, two borrow areas, and an innovative inline screening machine to reduce shell content. We recently assisted with the design of a borrow area for the restoration of Mexico Beach, which sustained a direct hit by Hurricane Michael. CPE staff are currently helping the TDC with planning and coordination with the USACE for a federal 1.5 MCY repair, anticipated to be constructed in 2020/21.

For over 18 years, in our time spent at APTIM and now continuing as CPE as their subconsultant, we have provided coastal engineering, permitting, numerical modeling, coastal structures design, funding acquisition, and environmental services. These efforts have supported the construction of four locally constructed beach renourishment projects (2003, 2009, 2015, and 2019) on Lido Key. The City’s beach preservation program has been highly successful in restoring and maintaining the popular recreational beach of Lido Key and in providing storm protection to the beach road (Ben Franklin Drive) and to upland buildings. The project won the ASBPA National Best Restored Beach Award for 2009. LIDO KEY BEACH NOURISHMENT PROJECT In 2009, 2015, and 2019, Lido Key Beach Nourishment Projects were constructed as FEMA-funded projects since they repaired storm damages to a previously engineered (non-federal) beach renourishment project. Our team prepared storm loss analyses in order for the City to obtain FEMA funding associated with the storm damages to the beach. We also assisted the City in applying for time extensions and minor modifications to the existing FDEP and USACE permits, which allowed the project to be constructed with the existing permits. We also provided the City with project design, preparation of plans and specifications, construction oversight and administration, and assistance with post-construction permit requirements. An inlet management study developed by our team allowed for the use of New Pass ebb shoal as a sediment source. We conducted Delft3D numerical modeling to determine the coastal effects of excavating sediment from New Pass. This allowed future projects to use dredged sand from New Pass channel and/or the ebb shoal as fill material. These three projects have served as interim repairs to the beach in anticipation of the federally authorized Lido Key Hurricane and Storm Damage Reduction Project, which began construction in July 2020. LIDO KEY HURRICANE AND STORM DAMAGE REDUCTION (HSDR) PROJECT Our team has also provided in-kind services that enabled USACE to re-establish Lido Key as a federal project and to develop a federally authorized and funded shore protection project, which includes fill placement and coastal structures.

The project includes the construction of two groins at the south end of the island. As local sponsor for the project, the City has assisted USACE with engineering, mitigation planning, and permit application services provided by our staff, including contributions to the Feasibility Study, modeling study, and project development. The City and USACE have held public meetings including scoping meetings to initiate the NEPA process, as well as a public meeting with FDEP, USACE, and the City to address public concerns over potential project impacts. Once Lido Key has been restored using USACE funding, FEMA funding will not apply to future projects; however, the project will now be eligible for federal funding for storm damage repair through USACE FCCE funds. Our biologists assisted with FDEP permitting and consultation with NMFS, addressing anticipated impacts to seagrass located within the Big Sarasota Pass borrow areas. We prepared a UMAM evaluation and successfully negotiated with FDEP to determine an appropriate amount of mitigation to offset anticipated impacts to seagrass from the Lido Key HSDR Project. Our biologists worked closely with FDEP, FWC, USACE, NMFS, and USFWS to determine a suitable and feasible mitigation site. We worked with FDEP biologists to finalize the seagrass mitigation and monitoring plan, and FDEP issued the permit in June 2018. We completed coordination with the City of Sarasota, USACE, and Manatee County to modify Manatee County’s permits to incorporate the LKMS and developed a Site Agreement between the City of Sarasota that outlines implementation, monitoring, and maintenance responsibilities for the seagrass mitigation project. The Lido Key HSDR Project is currently underway and the seagrass mitigation project in Perico Preserve is anticipated to be completed in summer 2021. CPE staff is currently providing construction administration support for the beach nourishment project and will complete pre- and post- construction surveys for the seagrass mitigation.

The original project quantified coastal change from more than 2,000 lidar data sets on 3,290 km of Gulf of Mexico and east US coastline using a grid-based approach to measure shoreline and volume differences within GIS using a custom Python-coded system. Following Hurricane Matthew, the JALBTCX toolbox was updated to rapidly quantify shoreline and volume change to allow for USACE to provide their Districts shoreline and volume change quantifications within five days of lidar data collection. This information has been critical for USACE to know where and how much damage was caused by the storm and provided the data needed to justify where emergency response was necessary. USACE continues to utilize this tool following their emergency response surveys. The current project is updating the JALBTCX toolbox by: 1) converting feature extraction tools to Python and incorporating into the JALBTCX toolbox, 2) making edits to the JALBTCX toolbox to streamlining the processing steps, 3) updating the JALBTCX toolbox to allow for multiple datasets, and 4) updating the CRI and incorporating into the JALBTCX toolbox. CPE has converted a USACE developed a feature extraction tool using Matlab to ArcGIS Python. The tool extracts the shoreline position, dune toe, dune crests, and beach slope from survey and lidar based profiles. CPE reviewed the tool and developed ArcGIS Python scripts to replicate the Matlab functions, tested the scripts, validated the scripts with existing data, and developed a tutorial to teach future users.

Past use of the JALBTCX toolbox has revealed repeated steps that have been combined to minimize user interface. The toolbox has been updated to read past data and incorporate additional datasets that expand the change analysis to more than two datasets. The Coastal Resilience Index (CRI) has been developed to quantify the resiliency of beach and dune systems. CRI was developed to leverage the significant amount of beach profile data that USACE collect when designing, installing, and monitoring Coastal Storm Risk Management (CSRM) projects. CRI relies on morphology metrics derived from the feature extraction tools in order to quantify the protective qualities of a coastal system. The index compares the quantification of protective qualities (beach height, beach width, beach density) with disturbance factors (wave height, storm surge, wave runup) to allow for comparison of a beach's resiliency alongshore and to other beach environments.

A3. Evidence of proof of coverage is acceptable at the time of submittal however, upon contract award the COI must have the City listed as an additional insured. Q4. Section 2.6.1 LICENSING REQUIREMENTS: “At a minimum, Respondents must have at least one (1) team member accredited in the United States Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).” Is Envision Sustainability Professional (ENV SP) certification acceptable as a substitute? As civil engineers, this certification is more applicable to our potential scopes of work than LEED. A4. Yes for engineering disciplines. Q5. Section 5.0 FORMAT: E. Qualification Information and Assigned Personnel requests submission of “Form SF330, include Part I and Part II” and F. Firm References and Similar Work Completed requests submission of Qualification Statement, resumes for proposed 2 personnel, project experience, organizational chart, etc. As these items are included in the SF 330, does the City want the information repeated in both sections? A5. Firms may submit the SF 330 in lieu of resumes. Q6. Section 5.0 FORMAT, F. Firm References and Similar Work Completed, “The title and a brief description of each project and/or service shall include:… Item e. - Past 5 years copies of executed agreements made between your firm and local municipalities, with a scope similar to this RFQ. If sub-consultants are a part of the proposed work plan, include items A through E for each firm, including an organizational chart showing the relationship between the responding firm and the sub firm(s).” Does the City want executed agreements included for each project submitted as relevant experience, for each firm (prime and subs)? They are generally lengthy. A6. Due to the length of these agreements, if your firm has an active contract/PO within the past 5 years with local municipalities please state the agency’s name, project scope and contract amount in lieu of attaching the contract(s). Q7. Does the City want copies of professional licenses included in Section E. Qualification Information and Assigned Personnel or Section H. Forms and Attachments? A7. Section E. Q8. Pg. 12 of the above referenced RFQ states on page 12 (see attached) that at least 1 Team member must be LEED Accredited. However we are a Structural Engineering Firm and as such LEED is not applicable to our services. Therefore no one on our staff Is LEED Accredited. Please advise if this precludes our firm from submitting for this solicitation. Thank you. A8. No, LEED would apply to architectural prime consultants. Q9. We are an environmental consulting firm interested in pursuing the subject RFQ for the “Environmental Engineering” discipline. However, Section 2.6.1 of the RFQ appears to eliminate us from eligibility and so I’m writing for some clarification. We are not an engineering, architecture, or landscape architecture firm. Our services are not regulated by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation and so we could not meet the requirements of the last bullet of section 2.6.1, although we are properly registered and in compliance with the State of Florida (Division of Corporations). Is it the City’s intent for the “Environmental Engineering” discipline to only be serviced by licensed engineering firms? I recognize the scope could be interpreted to focus on Phase I/Phase II Environmental Assessments, in which case we would not be qualified. But the broad description of “monitoring and mitigation, environmental studies and reports” and the permitting scope are commonly used to describe our work, albeit associated with wetlands, protected wildlife species, and water quality. I wanted to be sure this wasn’t an opportunity we were missing due to a technicality the City didn’t intend. A9. Environmental firms must comply with the requirements set forth in Section 2.6.1. of the RFQ, including that they be registered and in compliance with the State of Florida in addition to being licensed and registered with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation to practice in their profession in the State of Florida. 3 Q10. We are pursuing the Civil Engineering Category. Civil engineering projects may require geotechnical, survey, environmental, and/or materials testing services, etc. Does the City want us to submit a team with these potential subconsultants or use the firms selected in those categories under this solicitation if awarded a task order requiring those disciplines? A10.Yes, please submit your list of sub-consultants. Q11. Page 33 of the RFQ asks for Commodity Codes. Does this refer to the categories or does the City want NAICS codes listed on the form? A11. You may leave this section blank. Q12. Does the City require separate submittals for pursuing multiple scopes? A12. No, just make sure to indicate in section 6.1 the categories your firm is applying for. Q13. Can we submit only for the marine structures aspect of the Structural Engineering scope? Or would we have to pursue the entire category, including building structures? A13. You will need to submit for full structural services. Q14. Is it possible to submit under coastal/marine engineering being that that is our area of expertise? A14. Firm may submit under Environmental Engineering category. Q15. In the RFQ on page 1, it states all questions are due on Friday, July 17, 2020 by 5:00 PM. On page 3 it states, “All questions regarding this Request for Qualifications No. 20-07- 01 shall be directed in writing to Mauricio Betancur, CMC, City Clerk, Friday, July 24, 2020.” Can you please clarify if questions are due on July 17, 2020 by 5:00 PM or July 24, 2020? A15. The questions due date is Friday, July 24, 2020. Q16. Landscape Architect is listed under licensing requirements on page 11 - 12 of the RFQ, which category should Landscape Architecture submit under? A16. The City is currently not soliciting for landscape architecture services under this continuing RFQ. Q.17 Surveyors and Mapping is listed in the scope of services, on page 11 - 12 it does not state licensing requirements for Surveying. To pursue for Surveyors and Mapping, can you please clarify if the firm and/or individual needs to be licensed? A17. The firm and/or individual needs to be registered in the State of Florida to engage in the practice of surveying and mapping under this contract. Q18. Under 2.6.1 Licensing Requirements, it states that the firm shall possess at minimum one of the following licenses; however, on the list, it also states that "at a minimum, respondents must have at least one LEED certified professional. Do you require all respondents to have a LEED certified professional in the team? 4 A18. Please refer to question # 8. Q19. What would be scope of the LEED certified professional? A19. Please refer to question # 8. Q20. Subconsultants may be inherent to work for several of the categories listed. For example, Civil Engineering may often require other support services (i.e. Survey, Geotechnical, MEP, Structural, Architecture, etc.). Shall we include any/all subconsultants we may need in order to accomplish any given task under this contract? A20. Yes, please submit your list of sub-consultant(s). Q21. Please elaborate on what , specifically. The City is looking for under Item E (i.e. performance records of key personnel, work orders, copies of contracts). Are contracts being requested or work orders for specific projects undertaken under continuing service contracts? A21. Please refer to question # 6. Q22. Does The City want individual project references or continuing service contracts references for this RFP? A22. Please refer to question # 6. Q23. Please elaborate on the first paragraph under Section E. Please differentiate which questions are geared towards key personnel and which questions are geared towards the firm, as they cannot be interchanged. A23. This information may be filled out according to the SF 330. Q24. Please elaborate on the following statement on page 31: “If sub-consultants are a part of the proposed work plan, include items A through E for each firm, including an organizational chart showing the relationship between the responding firm and the sub firm(s).” A24.
