RE: Request for Qualifications – RFQ No. 20-07-01, Continuing Contract for Professional Services CCNA
Dear Ms. Cuevas:
R.J. Behar & Company, Inc. (RJ Behar) is most pleased to submit one original, four copies, and one electronic copy
(PDF) on CD for this Request for Qualifications to provide Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering; and Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) services to the City of Sunny Isles Beach. We are complementing
our team with Tierra South Florida, Inc. (TSF), a Minority Business Enterprise {MBE}, who will provide the geotechnical
engineering and testing services, Javier E. Bidot & Associates, P.S.C., Corp., (JEBA), an MBE, who will provide
surveying services, and Underwater Inspection Services, Inc. (UESI) who will provide underwater inspection services.
We are confident that we can provide the quality professional services you need for successful completion of this
contract. We offer 32 members of our professional staff. We currently have 13 Registered Professional Engineers, a
Professional Hydrologist and a Board Certified Environmental Engineer specializing in water supply and waste water, a
Certified Floodplain Manager, a Certified Environmental Inspector, Engineer Interns, Design Engineers, CAD Designers,
Resident Compliance Specialists, Threshold Inspectors and all of our Inspectors are CTQP Certified with the Florida
Department of Transportation. Our Principal engineers bring a wealth of expertise as well as over 78 years of combined
experience in the engineering field.
RJ Behar is a full-service engineering firm offering services in Civil, Sanitary Sewer Design, Water Distribution Systems
Design, Stormwater Master Planning, Green Building Design, Site Planning and Engineering Design, Traffic Engineering,
Transportation Planning, Roadway/Highway Design, Street Lighting, Engineering Plans Review, Municipal Engineering,

Construction Management, Threshold Inspections, Building Code Inspections, and Expert Witness for Eminent Domain
Proceedings. We are well-versed in design, engineering, budget, and construction cost estimating services, bidding
assistance, permitting, and contract administration services during construction.
U NDERSTANDING THE S COPE:
We understand the nature of continuing services contracts and have assembled a team who is able to provide a
comprehensive list of services and can handle concurrent assignments without compromising the quality and
promptness of deliverables. Our organizational chart reflects our complete understanding of the anticipated task
assignments and the various disciplines needed to complete those tasks. Our goals for these types of contracts are the
following:
Respond quickly to requests for proposals for specific tasks,
Work as an extension of City’s Staff with a service-oriented approach,
Provide sufficient staff to be able to adhere to any schedule required by the City,
Adhere strictly to budgets set by the City, and
Conduct in-house quality control reviews of all deliverables to eliminate potential construction claims or delays.
In this type of contract, the most important issue is responsiveness. General Service Contracts are a tool that the City
has to undertake projects that sometimes develop unexpectedly (“walk-in projects”) and require expeditious response.
Section C – Page |2
This kind of project does not usually fit the workload plans of the in house staff, requiring the use of this tool. They also
offer the opportunity to reduce any backlog of work and to provide expertise in specialized areas.
Our objective in these contracts is to provide the City with high quality, timely professional services in support
of the City’s Mission. We commit ourselves to be an extension of your staff and to “tailor fit” our services to
provide specifically what the City desires. Our project manager provides direction and is responsible to the
client for the quality and timeliness of the work, whether it is provided by RJ Behar or our specialty subconsultants.
RJ Behar’s Team is extremely qualified and experienced to address all the needs and requirements of the scope of work
for this continuing services contract due to our extensive experience with municipal work. The entire professional team
assembled for this RFQ fully understands the scope and can meet the requirements. We commit all of our resources to
accomplish any job, on time and within budget. When undertaking a civil engineering project, we try to incorporate a
number of sustainable and innovative designs, while keeping in mind our client’s budget.
C OMMITMENT TO P ROVIDE P ERSONALIZED S ERVICE:
The RJ Behar Team is committed to meet all budgets, locations, and task work orders that can arise from this contract. Ms. Paola Riveros, PE will serve as the Project Manager and point of contact for this contract. She can be reached at

We offer an extremely qualified group of individuals whose experience and capabilities are especially suited to the
development of the Engineering Consultant Services contracts. We have assembled a team of seasoned professionals
with supporting staff members to undertake any assignment that could come up in this Request for Qualifications for
Continuing Professional Consulting Services. Our team has successfully completed similar civil engineering contracts
for various government and municipal agencies.
In addition, RJ Behar has a complete understanding of federal and state regulations related to project funding; we have
assisted some of our clients in obtaining federal grants to develop some of their projects. We have personnel who have
worked on numerous Federally Funded, LAP, and ARRA projects and they are extremely familiar with the requirements
involved with these types of projects. From our project examples listed within the proposal, you will see that RJ Behar’s
Staff has extensive experience working on general engineering services contracts for many agencies.
C URRENT W ORKLOAD AND S TAFF C APABILITY
The table to the right illustrates RJ Behar's current workload and remaining
fee under contract. In review of our anticipated spending of work under
contract and with our current workforce, we estimate that we will begin to
require new contracted work sometime this fall. The illustration shows a
steady decline in our contract demands, which has been substantiated by our
review of our future work under contract. The predicted fall-off in our backlog
is normal for this time of year. However, RJ Behar’s Staff will become more
available as we approach fall, which seems to be well-timed for the
anticipated needs for this contract. As demonstrated, our team has
considerable resources and we do believe that we will be able to meet the challenges of any of the City’s assignments.
Our production capability will enable us to perform on this contract in an efficient and expeditious manner. Several of our
large production contracts will be completed in the next few months, thus reducing our backlog considerably as
illustrated above. We anticipate staff availability of five to seventeen hundred staff hours per month, which can be
Section C – Page |3
applied to other contracts. The staff identified in the organization chart will be available to work on this contract
immediately. RJ Behar will be able to provide sufficient staff to ensure timely completion of any assignment under this
contract.
RJ Behar anticipates that as POs become available from this contract, work will be coordinated with our project manager
accordingly, so current/ongoing assignments will not be jeopardized and new assignments will be scheduled to follow the
required expected process, that way projects already under contract will continue unaffected to their final submittals.

D. Project Approach and Understanding
This proposal describes RJ Behar’s approach to Continuing Engineering Services (task work order) contracts to provide Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering and Construction Engineering and Inspection services. Our firm provides
similar services to governments agencies such as: Florida Department of Transportation, South Florida Water Management
District, City of Miami, City of Hialeah, City of Coconut Creek, Town of Davie, Miami-Dade County, and Palm Beach County.
We have developed procedures and spreadsheets to track and manage the assigned tasks. We provide monthly progress
reports of each task with all information and issues that may affect schedules. In order to accomplish these objectives, RJ
Behar will:
• Assemble a Project Team whose experience specifically matches the services requested in the scope of work.
• Adhere to our in-house quality assurance program.
• Establish a project schedule, which is to be monitored by the Project Manager.
• Maintain strict coordination within our in-house staff, the City’s staff, utility companies, and the permitting agencies.
• Identify project issues by scheduling field reviews, a kick-off meeting and begin data collection early in the project.
• Maintain a pro-active management philosophy and minimize the City’s involvement throughout the project.
Continuing Engineering Services contracts can vary in type, sizes, and scope. We are prepared to be responsive and flexible
in meeting the City’s requirements and schedules and commit all of our resources to achieve this goal. For this contract, we
have assembled a comprehensive team of experts who will be available to provide any service, from planning and detailed
design to construction inspection.
Our project approach will be as follows:
1. The Principal-in-Charge is responsible for the overall successful completion, in terms of quality, timeliness, and budget.
Mr. Robert J. Behar will serve as Principal-in-Charge. He is the firms’ president and is involved in every company
project.
2. Our project manager, Ms. Paola Riveros, PE, is a Professional Engineer registered in the State of Florida with 19 years
of experience in these types of projects. The project manager is responsible for the preparation of the scope of services, procedure, staffing, work plan, schedules, estimated fee, and will have direct responsibility of the
task completion.
3. As the task/assignment is identified and the City requires our services, the team will be assembled for the specific task.
The team will include those disciplines required to the successful completion of the task.
4. Each Task Order shall include: a detailed description of the work to be performed; a schedule of completion (including
phases) for the work authorized; and the amount and method of compensation. The Task Orders may contain additional
instructions or provisions specific to the authorized work for the purpose of expanding upon certain aspects of the
Contract pertinent to the work to be undertaken.
5. After approval from the City of the scope and work plan, RJ Behar will proceed with the project development and
preparation of deliverables.
6. Each deliverable will be subject to a comprehensive quality control review in accordance with our Quality
Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) program.
Since the projects that will be assigned under this contract are unknown, our approach is essentially to provide the City with
a comprehensive team of experts who will be available to provide any service, from planning and detailed design to
construction administration. We are aware of the need to be responsive, cost effective and to provide innovation. Our team
will provide the following advantages:
• High Qualifications: Team leaders are seasoned professionals with the required qualifications and many years of
experience to develop solutions that meet all the project requirements. Our employees are constantly attending
continuing education seminars and our project construction inspectors are FDOT certified.
Continuing Professional Consulting Services (CCNA)
Request for Qualifications No. 20-07-01
Section D – Page | 2
• Local Knowledge: Our professionals are local and have knowledge of topographical, geological, and environmental
conditions. They have expertise in permit requirements and have working relationships with the permit regulators.
They are also knowledgeable of local utility companies and their representatives.
• Responsiveness: Our contracts are directly supervised
by our firm’s principals who understand that repeat
business is the key to our success and as such
recognize the need to satisfy our clients.
• Innovative: RJ Behar has incorporated sustainable
designs and planning into our list of services. Our
project team includes a group of savvy and
experienced designers. They are constantly bringing
innovative design solutions to our projects.
• Cost effective: Our management approach is tailored
to develop designs that are within the scope and within
the funding constraints. The main issue to meet this
goal is a very good understanding of the scope and
what is the product the client is looking for.
MANAGEMENT RJ Behar has 13 Professional Engineers and 32 employees available to assist the City of Sunny Isles Beach. Please refer
to our team organization chart. During the early stages of project development, RJ Behar will seek to obtain input from the
City’s Staff and end users. Regardless of the goals, input during early development will ensure that a quality product is
delivered to the City. RJ Behar will also seek to define the cost of all the goals identified and provide the City a preliminary
cost estimate to validate programmed funding within the City’s budget process. RJ Behar understands the need to provide
accurate cost estimates for the development of capital improvement budgeting.
WORK PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
The work plans for the various projects and task orders under consideration may vary greatly. RJ Behar believes that a
project will be successful if it is well-organized to begin with; people are properly informed as to their responsibilities,
schedules, and budgets. Therefore, RJ Behar places a large emphasis upon the initial steps of the project on its first tasks:
T ASK 1 – K ICK-OFF M EETING: This task includes a kick-off meeting with all the relevant team members to discuss
the scope, work plan, and schedules. It serves to ensure that all team members are in consonance and working towards
the same goal. Project coordination will continue with meetings at the major milestones for the project.
T ASK 2 – D ATA C OLLECTION: This is an important phase of any project. Information for the planning area and
infrastructure data will be gathered and mapped. Of course, the following will be modified appropriately for the specific
task order. All information and gathered data will be provided to the City in electronic format.
T ASK 3 – F IELD R EVIEWS: RJ Behar will schedule a field review with the City’s Staff, if necessary. These may
include the City’s Manager and other City Departments. Discussions will be aimed at reviewing the background of the
project and any important issues, problems, or requirements. Other agencies, as deemed appropriate, may be invited.
The RJ Behar Team will assess the scope of the proposed improvements. In order to facilitate our team in the scope
assessment, we will have a “Project Checklist” available at our field review. We will prepare minutes of the field review
to define our scope of work. In the event that the City’s representative is unavailable for the site meeting, RJ Behar will
furnish photographs and videos of the project to point out areas of concern. This task may also include a review of the
permit agency requirements and preliminary meeting to ensure that the alternatives developed in subsequent phases

are permissible. Some of this information can either be mapped in AutoCAD or Geographic Information System (GIS)
methods, both of which we have expertise in.
T ASK 4 – T RAFFIC D ATA C OLLECTION (IF REQUIRED): RJ Behar has in-house technological capabilities for
collecting all the necessary traffic data. We have our own traffic counters that can produce volume, speed, and vehicle
classification studies. We also own intersection turning movement collection devices and staff trained in its use. All the
necessary traffic data will be collected by RJ Behar’s Staff, which will make it a more efficient and economical project
component. PROJECT COORDINATION & COMMUNICATION
Coordination of a multi-member team requires regular attention. All matters related to the project will be coordinated with
the City’s Project Manager. We will try to minimize the City’s day-to-day involvement by keeping the City’s Project Manager
informed electronically (e-mail). Ms. Riveros will serve as our focal point of coordination and for providing timely responses
and prompt follow up. She will be the link with the project team.
B ETWEEN RJ B EHAR AND THE C ITY OF S UNNY I SLES B EACH: As previously discussed, we will always keep
the City’s Project Manager well-informed of all issues and/or concerns. Recognizing that City’s Project Manager may be
managing numerous projects at any given time; therefore, we will try to accommodate his/her day-to-day involvement by
1) obtaining needed information ourselves, 2) maximizing electronic information transfer (e-mail), 3) conference calls,
and/or 4) prompt meeting minutes. We will schedule progress meetings as often as the City’s Project Manager desires.
A progress report will be provided on a monthly basis including required action items and who is to follow up. The City’s
Project Manager is the voice for the City and, therefore, we will coordinate with him/her prior to meeting with other entities.
B ETWEEN RJ B EHAR AND U TILITY C OMPANIES/PERMITTING A GENCIES: RJ Behar will develop a distribution
list for each utility company and permitting agency. Meeting with the permitting agencies will be held as soon as the
concept is developed. Utility contacts will be made as soon as topographic features and right-of-way lines are plotted.
Ongoing coordination will be maintained with all of the agencies. It is important to note that we propose to have a kick-
off meeting at the beginning of the task with the City’s Project Manager and our key staff. This meeting will ensure that
the project gets started on the “right foot.” The scope, work plan, schedules, and understanding of the task should be
discussed and any major issues identified up-front.
B ETWEEN RJ B EHAR AND P RIVATE S TAKEHOLDERS: RJ Behar will, through the City, coordinate with the private
stakeholders involved. We will organize public meetings, one-on-one meetings, conference calls and prepare
presentations. We will make ourselves available to provide the services that the City needs. On all public meetings we
will keep minutes or recordings as needed for documentation.
C OMMUNICATION: RJ Behar recognizes the importance of communicating during the course of the project. As such,
regular in-house meetings will be held to ensure coordination and quality control. We will provide the City with minutes
of meetings within one week after the meeting is held, which will include minutes of meetings with all entities involved.
C OMMUNICATION W ITH O THER C ITY C ONSULTANTS: RJ Behar will also coordinate with the other City
Consultants as needed, which may include surveyors and geotechnical engineers.
PROJECT SCHEDULING METHODS
The Project Manager is the key to a successful project schedule; he/she is the “CEO” for the technical elements related to
the project. RJ Behar is completely familiar with the logic involved in scheduling projects. We utilize Microsoft Projects,
Primavera, and spreadsheets software for scheduling and managing our projects. Our management methodology is best
summarized as follows:
Staffing Plan: Please refer to our team organization chart.
Weekly In-House M eetings: We hold weekly in-house staff meetings with detailed action items to track
schedules, budgets, and design activities.
Continuing Professional Consulting Services (CCNA)
Request for Qualifications No. 20-07-01
Section D – Page | 4
Monthly Progress Meetings: Our Project Manager will meet with the City’s Project Manager on a monthly
basis to review the project’s progress. A monthly progress report will be prepared.
Interactive Team Management Approach: Our project approach will keep the City thoroughly informed of
the project. The team approach is the cornerstone of RJ Behar’s method of doing business.
In-House “Brainstorming Session:” Once we have obtained sufficient field data and have completed our
field review, our project team will conduct a “brainstorming session,” where the key personnel gather to discuss the
project and suggest an optimal solution for the project. The goal is to get the decision makers involved early.
Use of Interactive Approach with the City of Sunny Isles Beach to Accelerate Work: The
goal of the interactive approach proposed by our team is to get the decision makers involved in the project from the
very start. Major design decisions will be coordinated with City’s Staff through the City’s Project Manager. This timely
involvement allows our team to avoid false starts and eliminates significant design changes at the submittals.
An example of our weekly meeting spreadsheet is located
to the right. This spreadsheet is used to track milestone
dates, action items, and staffing requirements. These are
inter-related and are monitored in order to ensure schedule
control.
BUDGET CONTROL RJ Behar is fully aware of the municipal financial
constraints and has put several key steps in place to help
with reducing costs. We utilize spreadsheets and the
sophisticated Ajera Program from DELTEK computer
software to keep track of project budgets. Regardless of the
budget constraint of any project, RJ Behar has the
commitment of completing every contracted project to the
satisfaction of the client. We utilize management spreadsheets for control of each project. These are discussed in our weekly
meetings. At these meetings, we go over the items that need to be completed; the budget and staff needed to complete
each item. Our Company president presides over these meetings to ensure that each project and task are allocated the
necessary resources. RJ Behar has an excellent track-record for delivering projects within budget.
INNOVATIVE CONCEPTS
RJ Behar is constantly using Value Engineering principles to innovate our projects. We have used new technologies, such
as directional drilling, 3D Modeling, new stormwater BMPs, pervious pavements, solar powered systems, and other means.
We will continue to use these principles for the City of Sunny Isles Beach’s projects. Value engineering is used to solve
problems and identify and eliminate unwanted costs, while improving function and quality. The aim is to increase the value of
projects, satisfying the project’s performance requirements at the lowest possible cost. In construction, this involves
considering the availability of materials, construction methods, transportation issues, site limitations or restrictions, planning
and organization, costs, profits and so on. Benefits that can be delivered include a reduction in life cycle costs, improvement
in quality, reduction of environmental impacts, and so on. Value engineering should start at project inception where the
benefits can be greatest, however the contractor may also have a significant contribution to make as long as the changes
required to the contract do not affect the timescales, completion dates or incur additional costs that outweigh the savings
they offer.
Value engineering is an exercise that involves most of the project team as the project develops. It is about taking a wider
view and looking at the selection of materials, plant, equipment and processes to see if a more cost-effective solution exists
that will achieve the same project objectives. The key to this is remembering the relationship between cost
Continuing Professional Consulting Services (CCNA)
Request for Qualifications No. 20-07-01
Section D – Page | 5
and value – value is function divided by cost. Concentration on the function of the project or product will avoid mere cost
cutting.
The project manager must take a pro-active role in both giving direction and leadership in the value engineering process,
but must also ensure that time and effort is not wasted and does not have a detrimental effect on the progress of the project. RJ Behar encourages sustainable design and the development of innovative, low-impact solutions. For example, we can
implement any of the following: executing newly proven best management practices to reduce stormwater runoff; determining
the best location for site amenities to encourage community use; utilizing new materials that promote public safety while
limiting environmental impacts; and researching methods that can minimize time and effort. This amounts to reducing overall
operational and maintenance costs for our Clients. Additionally, we have experienced staff, who understand the relationship
between cost, quality, and timeliness. As a result, we can effectively evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of our
solutions against environmental factors and determine the best solutions with the least impact for every unique circumstance.
Our experience in sustainable design includes the design of the Broward County Department of Environmental Protection
Green Laboratory, where we designed the site amenities and evaluated green features such as bio-swales. This was the
first green building design for Broward County. We also designed the site, grading with complete specifications for the
Hickory Hammock Equestrian Campground for the SFWMD. In this site we designed compost toilets and solar powered
lighting.
Under the City of Miami Beach Comprehensive Green Building and Energy
Conservation Program, the City partnered with Ameresco to identify capital
improvements to save energy costs in City facilities. Ameresco is the largest
independent Energy Services Provider in North America. The Convention
Center Chiller upgrade project proposed to extend the existing chilled water
loop at the Convention Center and Jackie Gleason Theater to provide chilled
water for City Hall and the new Municipal Parking Garage. This energy
conservation measure (ECM) converted the Convention Center cooling plant
into a District Cooling Plant. This project shifted inefficient chilled water
operations at City Hall and the new Municipal Parking Garage to the
modernized plant currently serving the Convention Center. In order to maximize the efficiency of the new District Cooling
Plant, the project included the installation of a Chiller Plant Optimization Package to the plant along with a Geothermal
Condenser Water System. These combined efficiency improvements to the Convention Center Chiller Plant greatly improved
cooling efficiency to the buildings served utilizing chilled water. The total program will save the City an estimated $1.8 million
each year in energy costs. RJ Behar designed the Miami Beach Convention Center underground piping, the supply and
discharge wells and the Police Station wells. RJ Behar prepared all site plans and permit packages for the supply and
injection wells. The design followed the recommendations of a hydrogeologic report that included the construction of a test
well on site to determine underground soil and hydrogeologic parameters. RJ Behar was also responsible for all the utility
coordination and pipe routing. The project was completed as a design-build project working for Kerney & Associates a
contractor under Ameresco.
As population continues to grow, so does our understanding of sustainable development. It should be our goal to improve
our quality of life while reducing environmental impacts by providing a more planned and sustainable development strategy.
Transit and other alternative modes of transportation such as walking or biking, must support these strategies.
Miami-Dade County studied their existing land development and transportation infrastructure to meet a more sustainable
standard of design. The County developed the Miami-Dade Green Print document, in which one of its goals was to increase
integration of transit with pedestrian and bicycle trips as part of the Responsible Land Use and Smart Transportation initiative.
As part of this study RJ Behar prepared a generalized bicycle parking guide layout. The layout intended for distribution to
Continuing Professional Consulting Services (CCNA)
Request for Qualifications No. 20-07-01
Section D – Page | 6
local governments, property owners and the public. The plan included
photos of bicycle rack designs, schematic drawings, list of bicycle rack
elements, and placement locations.
As the stewards of society’s physical infrastructure, it is incumbent on civil
engineers to lead the next shift in sustainable planning, design, and
construction. For this reason, RJ Behar has incorporated sustainable
designs and planning into our list of services. When undertaking a civil
project, we try to incorporate a number of sustainable and innovative
designs including the following:
1. Helping the Owner select a site or road orientation that minimizes environmental impacts,
2. Implementing a stormwater management plan that protects receiving stream channels from excessive erosion, reduces
the amount of post-development TSS, and prevents the post-development peak discharge rate and quantity from
exceeding the predevelopment peak discharge rate and quantity for the 1 and 2-year 24-hour design storms,
3. Incorporating pervious pavement, porous concrete, and efficient hardscapes into the design for improved groundwater
recharge and infiltration,
4. Including mass transit options, bicycle facilities, and preferred parking for fuel-efficient vehicles into the site layout to

There are many possibilities when incorporating sustainable designs into a project, and at RJ Behar we take each project
and determine the most efficient and sustainable design possible, while keeping in mind our City’s budget. We are sure to
provide our clients with the most up-to-date and relevant information on how to bring their projects to accreditation
COST ESTIMATING RJ Behar is experienced in developing and tracking project cost estimates. One of the first tasks is to meet with the City’s
Staff to go over the City’s budget for the project. RJ Behar’s Project Manager will be able to assist the City in developing a
budget based on the City’s goals for the project and current construction cost trends. The project budget becomes the basis
for the project scope and limits. The project construction cost is further refined after the plans have been developed to a
“preliminary” stage by developing an estimate of probable cost. Additionally, probable cost estimates are also developed at
subsequent phases to ensure compliance with the project budget. Cost estimates are produced in spreadsheet format
including unit prices and quantities. The unit prices are based on a data base developed from recent project bids as well as
FDOT’s historic prices. RJ Behar is certified by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to do cost estimates for
design and construction projects. We will provide the City with probable cost estimates at three different phases:
Schematic Phase – a very preliminary cost based on early input of the project. The construction budget will be
verified based on this estimate.
Design Development Phase – this estimate will be much closer to the final cost estimate and it will be based
on 50% plans completion. It is at this phase that we can eliminate or add items to the construction scope of work,
and it will be based on the available budget versus projected costs.

Section D – Page | 7
Final Construction Plans – this is the final engineer’s estimate based on the final design.
RJ Behar has an excellent track record with our project bids coming within 5% of our final engineer’s estimate. RJ Behar is
aware of the budget and time constraints. We will take appropriate action to reallocate resources if the work items fall behind
schedule in accordance with the critical path to minimize impact to the overall schedule. We will effectively manage the
budget and have developed a logical quality control plan, which we will adhere to the plan throughout the project. We
routinely rank 4.0 or above (1-5 ranking) on FDOT evaluations regarding budget and time.
DOCUMENT CONTROL
Document control is very important. All administrative procedures and legal protections
require proper care of documentation. RJ Behar understands matching documentation
requirements with any size project. We use a straightforward system for prioritizing,
routing, and maintaining the necessary project documentation. Besides memos and
meeting minutes, there are contract documents, plans, specifications, operation
manuals, survey data and invoicing that will all need to be routed to their proper locations
within the City system. RJ Behar has worked with numerous public agencies and
municipalities since its inception and is adept at organizing project documentation using the client’s methods, procedures,
and formats. We are familiar with most document formats used in engineering documentation and will easily adapt to
requirements of the City.
QUALITY CONTROL PROCESS RJ Behar will ensure the quality of its product. Mr. Juan Vazquez, PE will be responsible for the quality assurance. An
autonomous group of reviewers will be responsible for this activity. The individuals assigned are highly experienced in the
tasks they will be reviewing. Committing the appropriate staff to the project is the most important quality assurance measure.
Our Quality Control process is very comprehensive and has resulted in the avoidance of claims during construction. A
synopsis of our Quality Program is outlined below:
QC REVIEWS: These will be separated into three major areas: 1) engineering design review (criteria) 2) plans
preparation/cross reference review 3) constructability review. Providing for these will assure the City the quality it is
paying for. For this review process, we have developed checklists of items that must be included on each type of project.
QC PROCESS: The process starts with the 1) design originator, 2) it is sent to a checker, it goes back to the 3) originator
who reviews the markups and determines which comments are to be implemented. 4) The originator and checker meet
to discuss the comments and come to an agreement on the implementation of the comments. 5) If they cannot come to
an agreement, the Project Manager will then make that determination. 6) Comments are implemented. 7) Plans are back-
checked. All these steps require our QC Stamp, dated and initialed by the individual(s) involved.
CONSTRUCTABILITY REVIEW: Mr. Nestor Santana, PE will lead our constructability reviews. He has been involved in
construction engineering and inspection projects for over 25 years. He will be reviewing the plans from the contractor’s
perspective. He will be looking for lack of consistency between plans, specs, utility agreements, and permit agreements.
He will ensure that all pay items are accounted for, check for feasibility of the construction sequence and for claims
potential.
QUALITY ASSURANCE: Mr. Juan Vazquez, PE, RJ Behar’s vice-president, will certify that the quality control reviews were
completed prior to all formal submittals.

The Lyons Park Neighborhood is located west of
South Cypress Road, north of McNab Road, east of
South Flagler Avenue and south of Southwest 8th
Street. The area is served by an existing stormwater
collection system. The existing stormwater
management system consists of four independent
systems, which discharge to systems outside of the
neighborhood. The ultimate outfalls are located to the
south of West McNab Road and to the east of South
Cypress Road. The project area suffers from flooding
problems as documented in the City Stormwater
Master Plan (SWMP). This project intends to improve the
drainage systems within the project area.
The sanitary sewer lines within the Lyons Park
Neighborhood are located in the rear yard easements of
the properties/homes. One of the City of Pompano
Beach’s Comprehensive Plan policies is to identify the
feasibility of implementing capital projects to relocate the
sewer lines or to rehabilitate them in place. This project
includes the design for the relocation of the sewers to the street’s right-of-way and new lateral
services. The project also includes design of water line relocations in areas where there are conflicts with other improvements.
As part of the project all the streets will be reconstructed, with new pavement markings, and completely new stormsewer system,
sanitary sewer system, and regraded swales. The design included structural design of seawall repairs for new outfalls. An
extensive public outreach effort was conducted including presentations, workshops and one-on-one meetings. Also included was
the coordination and preparation of Right-of-way sketches for required easements.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost)
The design for this project was based on the results of the Feasibility
Study for Copans Road Wastewater Transmission System Alternatives
Study dated January 2017.
The existing transmission force mains within the project limits presently
convey flows discharged from Lift Station (“LS”) No.12 via a 20”
diameter piping system containing both Ductile Iron Pipe (“DIP”) and
Cast Iron Pipes (“CIP”) east along Copans Road where it picks up flows
from LS No. 13 and LS No. 14. The flow continues to the City’s eastern
boundary where it intersects with the Florida Turnpike and meets the
City of Pompano Beach. At this location additional flow from an 18”
diameter force main, conveying the discharge flow transmitted from LS
No.10 is added. LS No 10A and LS No.10B are satellites to LS No. 10.
The cumulative flows are then conveyed in a 24” CIP force main east
along Copans Road to its termination point within the Broward County
North Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (NRWWTP).
The existing force mains cannot be taken out of service for long
periods of time due to the numerous connections and upstream
pumping stations. The referenced force main system presently
conveys approximately 2.0 million gallons of wastewater per day (2.0
MGD) of the City’s wastewater to the destination plant. For this reason,
the age of the system and the uncertainty of the materials used for its
construction, the City has concluded to replace and upgrade the
system as necessary from Lift Stations 10 and 12 to the NRWWTP. This phase will include a new force main between LS 12 and the
existing Broward County 54” diameter force main which conveys flows east along Sample Road to a termination point at the NRWWTP,
and rehabilitation of the force main from LS 12 to the connection from the Wynmoor Community, just west of the Florida Turnpike. The
final design included 7,190 ft of 20-inch HDPE force main and rehabilitation of 4,420 ft existing 24-inch force main using trenchless
technology. The 20-inch was designed using directional drilling and the rehabilitation using PVC Sliplining.

24. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost)
Palm Beach County’s (County) Road & Bridge Division decided to replace
the existing bridge over the Pahokee Water Control District’s Canal No. 2.
The County requested replacement of the existing 4-span bridge, which
was approximately 60’ long, Bridge PB # 934512. The bridge replacement
design located the new structure with a sufficiently clear distance from the
existing FPL 138 Kv. overhead transmission line along the east side of
Hatton Highway. Hatton Highway was reconstructed to accommodate the
selected bridge replacement. A preliminary alternative analysis was
conducted to determine the appropriate roadway section, construction
requirements, and limits of work.
The bridge design was based on providing a similar 3-span arrangement
over the canal, 60’ clearance. The bridge cross section included two 12’
lanes with 8’ shoulders, concrete barriers, and no provisions for
sidewalks. Wing walls and slope protection were designed to
accommodate the new bridge highway alignment and typical section.
The bridge design elements were developed in accordance with the
County’s Thoroughfare Road and Bridge Design Procedures.
R.J. Behar & Company, Inc. (RJ Behar) was responsible for all permit
coordination on the project.
Successful completion of the plans and specifications was
achieved with a final score of 97 out of 100.

5.Other Services
Subsurface Utility Surveys
JEBA started performing SUE surveys on 2008 , and has SUE Certified personnel at its Florida and
Puerto Rico offices. The American Society of Civil Engineers, under specification 3802, has defined the
discipline of Subsurface Utility Engineering as the management of risks and databases pertaining to the
utility and underground asset mapping at various Quality Levels, among other technical parameters to
which JEBA adheres to and holds as technical guideline.
The following is the list of existing Quality Levels for the diverse utility mapping tasks possible under
this discipline:
Quality Level D – Typically referred to as the research and consultation of the
diverse sources of records and maps and reporting them to the project owner or
Engineer.
Quality Level C – This level adds the survey of the assets based only on the
above ground evidence. This includes the location of poles, manholes, hydrants,
etc, graphically represented in the context of existing records.
Quality Level B – This level adds to the record research and land survey, the
designation of underground assets by means of diverse forms of induction,
including but not limited to sound and electromagnetic induction, ground
penetrating radar, etcetera.
Quality Level A – This level of survey adds the physical uncovering of assets for
verification by various means including but not limited to hand excavation,
vacuum excavation and others. This level provides the highest level of accuracy
and is the most expensive modality of utility surveys.
JEBA is capable of performing all 4 types of quality levels of SUE asset designation, plus the
evaluation of assets with company-owned zoom cameras. From its SUE designation work, JEBA will
produce an engineering grade deliverable of meaningful importance to the client in order to make
informed significant decisions regarding utility conflicts, upgrades connection, and avoidance strategies.
Through a comprehensive training program for its field personnel, which are all certified professional
utility locators, JEBA is recognized as an authority in providing SUE surveys for the A&E market in
Puerto Rico. Recognizing SUE surveys are directly related to the engineering field, JEBA has a
licensed engineer on staff as part of its SUE survey team.
JEBA has also exported its SUE surveys capabilities to Florida, where it has performed for private
clients and the Broward County Public Schools District, through its consultants; and to the USVI where
it has performed subsurface utility surveys for PUMA Energy facilities, and others for clearance for
environmental sampling drilling.
Presently, JEBA owns three ground penetrating radar (GPR) units and related electronic, ferromagnetic
and ultrasound subsurface utility prospecting equipment.

24. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost)
Underwater Engineering Services, Inc. (UESI), UESI was selected by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) to perform
underwater condition assessments of water control structures. The work orders to date have included the inspection of 23, 36 and 38
structures for FY17-18, FY18-19 and FY19-20, respectively, including culverts, spillways, pump stations, boat locks, and weirs. The
professional engineering fee to date has totaled $1M. A UESI Florida professional engineer was on site at all times supervising the dive
operation and providing an engineering assessment. The diving operation was surface supplied with full video and audio communication.
As part of the deliverable UESI furnished raw videos, edited with title pages. The inspection data and photographs were entered into the
District’s Archival Tool. A metadata file (in Excel form) was provided that listed the team members, dates, and a summary of the structure
deficiencies and recommended repairs.

The City of Pembroke Pines wanted to determine the potential traffic
impact as a result of the vehicular traffic generated by the proposed
project, Charles F. Dodge City Center (City Center). This project will
be constructed south of Pines Boulevard, between Hiatus Road and Palm
Avenue. The project will be constructed in three phases, including two
commercial areas, 365 units of apartments, 387 units of multifamily
housing, a hotel and the development of the City Center. There is a 6.5-
acre empty lot pending future development. According to the proposed
plans, future customers/residents will be able to access the development
through several roadways, including Washington Street (St.) and Hiatus
Road (Rd.); Hiatus Rd. and Palm Avenue (Ave.); Pines Boulevard
(Blvd.) with 103 Ave, 106 Ave. and 108 Ave.; City Center Blvd. and Palm
Ave.; and SW 7 St. and Palm Ave.
The objective of this traffic impact study was to determine the impact of
the vehicular traffic generated from the proposed development project.
The traffic analyses focused on determining the effects in a 2-year
projection time period and assessed the existing and future conditions

R.J. Behar & Company, Inc. (RJ Behar) was contracted by the Town of
Medley to provide a planning report for NW 116th Street from NW 116th
Way to South River Drive. The scope of work included analysis of
existing conditions, field visits, evaluation of alternatives with costs and
preparation of a report.
The Planning and Conceptual Engineering (PACE) Study was prepared
to identify the infrastructure needs within the project area as they relate
to automobile, pedestrian, bicycle mobility, and drainage. Upon
identifying the project area improvements proposed, the report served as
a guide for development of construction documents for the proposed
improvements to be used during the design and permitting phase of the
project.
The proposed roadway improvements and road reconstruction, along
NW 106th Street, consisted of widening to attain three 12-foot-wide lanes
(one of which will be a two-way turn lane) and Type F curb and gutter.
Improvements included the addition of a 6-foot wide sidewalk along the
north side of NW 106th Terrace and south side of NW 106th Street to
provide pedestrian connectivity, as well as 4-foot wide green bicycle lane
on both directions for the entire length of the project. Two alternatives
(A and B) were developed for the project. Both alternatives included
reverse curves connecting NW 106th Terrace and NW 106th Street, which
will make the transition between corridors, geometrically smoother than
the existing conditions.
The Russian Colony Canal is proposed for relocation, on average, 40
feet north to accommodate the proposed roadway improvements.
Furthermore, a new drainage system will be provided for the entire
length of the project.

The existing Mobility Hub/Park and Ride is located at the southeast
corner of the intersection of SR 84 and Davie Road in the Town of Davie.
The mobility hub was designed with a capacity of 108 parking spaces.
The site provides platforms for the express buses (on SR 84), local
shuttles and drop off/pick up vehicles. There is also a connection from
SR 84 to Reese Road. The connection was meant to be used only by buses
and consisted of one travel lane from SR 84 to Reese Road at the
northeast corner of the property. The number of parking spaces has
become inadequate and the connection from SR 84 to Reese Road is
being used by all vehicles without control.
The scope of work for this project included modifying the mobility hub to
increase and maximize the number of parking slots, review the Reese
Road connection to improve access control and improve circulation.
These improvements required modifications to the existing drainage,
lighting, signing and pavement markings and landscaping.
R.J. Behar’s services included the preparation of a Community
Awareness Plan, preparing Flyers and attending a public meeting.
Coordination included the Town of Davie, Broward County Transit
agency and the Department. The site design included preparing a
master plan of the proposed improvements for review and approval by
the FDOT. Once the master plan was approved, the design included
geometric design, quantities, specifications, cost estimates, drainage
design and drainage plans, signing and marking design and plans,
lighting design and plans, utility coordination, and preparing the
required permit modifications.
