RJ Behar's experience also includes the construction inspection and supervision of wetland and fill1dredge
activities. We performed those services for the SFWMD at the Deering Estates Flow -way project which included
construction of a man -made wetland for educational purposes. We also inspected the Southern Crew Imperial

filling ditches and removing berms in accordance with the proposed restoration plan. The completed project
provided shallow foraging habitat in the freshwater mars h areas and
gentle side slopes on the deep water depressions for tactile feeder
wading birds, specifically the Wood Stork, white ibis and roseate
spoonbills. Additionally, the plan provided and maintained the existing
Panther habitat. Existing Cypress areas remained and exotic
vegetation was removed.
FAMILIARITY WITH PERMITTING AGENCIES
Our experience with permitting includes all types of projects. In our
AtA project for the FDOT, as an example, we had to permit the
project with the FDEP and the US Army Corps of Engineers. The
project was inside the coastal construction control line (CCCL) and
included wetland (mangrove) impacts. We designed a mitigation project and coordinated it with a local
municipality, which allowed them to enhance an existing park alongside the Intracoastal Waterway. In the project,
we also prepared the stormwater pollution prevention plans to comply with the NPDES permitting for construction
activities. We prepared the fill and dredge plans, permitting and the mitigation site permitting.

Traffic Counts /Data Collection
RJ Behar prepared a traffic study, on behalf of the Town of Davie, for a
Land Use Plan Application to increase density within the Town's
Regional Activity Center. The Town of Davie intended to increase the
residential density by 3,500 dwelling units in the Regional Activity
Center (RAC). The RAC is bordered by University Drive to the west, 1-
595 to the north, Florida's Turnpike to the east and Griffin Road to the
south. The purpose of this project was to analyze the traffic impacts that
the increase in density would have had on the roadway network. This
analysis was used to respond to the two traffic circulation questions in
the Town of Davie's LUPA application.
The study included traffic counts, projections of the new traffic demand,
and analysis of the existing and future operational conditions in the
areas roadway network.

The scope of the project consisted of site design, drainage, parking and
utility improvements for an historical school (now converted to a
museum) and an adjacent park property.
The finished site boasts a 0.70 acre voluntary wetland, playground,
passive park areas and facilities to host outdoor events. RJ Behar
coordinated the site design, all the components of the plans and the
permitting. The wetland planting plans were developed by a
subconsultant. The wetland area has a sidewalk path, and is coordinated
and connected to an elevated stage and playground. The grading
included a marsh area and a deepwater marsh (constant pool), which has
wetland species plantings in both areas. Species include small trees,
Cigared Palms, shrubs and grasses. The existing trees within the site
were carefully identified, protected and relocated.

RJ Behar was contracted by the City of Hialeah to provide roadway
improvements on East 4th Avenue from Hialeah Drive to East 11" Street
within the City of Hialeah. The scope of this project consisted of
extensive field work in order to locate roadway deficiencies over the
project's 11 block span. Milling and resurfacing, ADA improvements,
curb, driveway and sidewalk repairs, utility locations, and signing and
pavement marking repairs were some of the aspects documented for this
project.
This was a FDOT Local Agency Program (LAP) Project. One of the
challenges on this project was to prepare roadway plans which would
improve the roadway corridor while minimizing federal funds the City
would have to use. This project was part of the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA), which is supported by federal funds. Project
length: 1.139 miles.

Forzano Park is an active sports league facility. Is has several
baseball fields, but is mostly used for football and soccer. The
project goal is to convert the three baseball fields into
football /soccer fields. This will require the following:
➢ Removal of clay in the infields and replacing it with sod,
9 Demolition of the baseball bleachers and dugouts,
➢ Provide new score boards, bleachers and press box,
9 Design new grading and drainage for the revised layout
➢ Review the location of the existing lighting for the new field
layouts,
i Re- stripping the fields for standard soccer field dimensions, and
➢ Revise and modify the irrigation system
RJ Behar was in charge of the project management, master planning
and civil design of the improvements. RJ Behar also provided
construction quantities, coordinated sub consultant efforts for the
remodeling of the existing concession/bathroom building, and
selection of the new scoreboard. As part of the master plan effort
the existing parking lot was analyzed to improve circulation and
provide additional spaces.

The Lyons Park Neighborhood is located west of South Cypress Road,
north of McNab Road, east of South Flagler Avenue and south of
Southwest 8" 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 propenies/homes. One of the
City'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 intends to study the relocation of
the sewers to the street's right -of -way. No improvements are needed to
the existing lift stations.
The water system has been upgraded but the services used the older
black polyethylene pipe. This project intends to replace the service lines,
to meet the newer city standards 107 -1 and 107 -2, from the water mains
to the water meters.
The project will not include a reuse water irrigation system. The project
has been divided into two phases. Phase I will include the preparation
of a Basis of Design Report (BODR) and preliminary design of the
improvements. Phase 2 will include the design of the improvements,

Continuing Contract for General
® Environmental Engineering
Client City of Fort Lauderdale
Project Date(s) June 2008 — Ongoing
County Broward
Description
E Sciences was awarded a contract with the City of Fort Lauderdale (City) to provide on -going
environmental engineering support during two separate consultant selection processes. The scope of the
contract is broad and provided us with a wide range of opportunities to support the City. The following
summarizes some of the projects that we completed for the City:
Sistrunk Boulevard: E Sciences was hired by the City to conduct soil and groundwater testing along
Sistrunk Boulevard from 1 -95 to Andrews Avenue. The project was conducted in order to support the CRA
with implementing a streetscepe and enhancement project. E Sciences conducted soil and groundwater
testing at 36 locations to evaluate potential impacts to construction that may arise due to known
contaminated sites historically located along the corridor. Potential sites of concern included historical dry
cleaners, gasoline stations, junk yards and an incinerator ash landfill.
Prior to implementation, E Sciences worked with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to
determine a scope of analytical services. E Sciences reconciled the proposed subsurface structure locations
(drainage structures, light fixtures, etc.) identified on construction plan sheets with the existing corridor
conditions and proximity to potentially contaminated areas. Due to the high number of utilities anticipated to
be located in dose proximity to the drilling locations, E Sciences engaged a private utility location contractor
to locate underground utilities using ground penetrating radar and electromagnetic radiation surveys, in
addition to review of City plans and coordination with Sunshine One Call. A Maintenance of Traffic (MOT)
plan was prepared and submitted to the City prior to field activities.
In addition to an assessment report, E Sciences provided general notes and bidding specifications language
outlining requirements for managing contaminated soils and groundwater to be incorporated into the bidding
and contract documents for this project. During construction, we assisted the City in working with the
contractor to minimize impacts to construction and keep the project moving.
This 'stimulus' project meant that deadlines were critical and that the work needed to be expedited. We
developed a scope of work, met with FOOT to negotiate the scope, conducted private utility location,
developed a MOT plan, and initiated the sample collection within 13 days of the first phone call. Our draft
report was provided to the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) within an additional 12 working days.
This project was completed to the satisfaction of the CRA and FOOT and we delivered the project under
budget by more than $12,000.
Fire Station #49: This project was undergoing redevelopment with a new City fire station when petroleum
contamination was discovered during construction. E Sciences mobilized to the site the same day as
requested to further investigate the implications of this finding on construction and regulatory notification.
Historical and regulatory records indicated historic Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) on the property.
Consultation with regulatory agencies, collection of soil and groundwater samples and sound environmental
judgment allowed this project to proceed with minimal time delay and costs to the project. E Sciences also
conducted air monitoring for construction workers to evaluate potential health implications of exposure to the
unknown products discovered and provide the City with such documentation.

United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Environmental Documentation
and Area -wide Floodplain Management Eight -Step Decision - Making Process: To enhance the quality
of fife in our neighborhoods, the Fort Lauderdale City Commission has established four Community
Investment Programs: the Neighborhood Community Investment Program (NCIP), the Neighborhood
Community Investment Grant Program (NCIGP), the Business Community Investment Program (BCIP), and
the Business Community Investment Grant Program (BCIGP). The goal of these programs is to provide
matching grant funds for the construction of community improvements in the City's right -0f -ways that
beautify neighborhoods and enhance the quality of life for those who live, work, and visit the City of Fort
Lauderdale. The majority of individual actions considered for these projects include the following: street
name decorative posts, entryway monuments, entryway signs, concrete curbing, swales, sidewalks, median
islands, decorative lighting, solar decorative lighting, landscape lighting, trees, landscaping, and irrigation.
E Sciences has prepared numerous environmental documentation packages to support HUD funding for the
City of Fort Lauderdale's neighborhood improvement projects. The majority of these involved the
preparation of Environmental Checklists in compliance with HUD regulations. E Sciences also prepared an
Area wide Floodplain Management Eight -Step Decision- Making Process for them to utilize when projects
are located within a 100 -year floodplain as defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Opinion of Post Closure Costs, Wingate Landfill:
In response to a City audit, E Sciences was tasked to
develop an opinion of post - remediation costs for this
Superfund site. Historic and future operations with
respect to maintenance and monitoring costs were
compiled in several spreadsheets to provide future
annual allocations until fiscal year 2032. E Sciences
created the spreadsheets such that the costs
forecasts may be updated annually.
Wingate Landfill Burrowing Owl Relocation: This red, ' �f ��'R jyr' tSS`�'r ✓>
hazardous waste superfund site that has undergone ;P.-,
regulatory closure. A protective cap system was
installed at this historical municipal landfill to eliminate potential exposure to contaminants and to prevent
migration of contaminants in the landfill into the groundwater. A condition of the closure is conducting
monitoring of the groundwater, surface water and fish tissues on a periodic basis for a period of 30 years.
During a five year inspection, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identified the presence of two
burrowing owl burrows on top of the capped area of the landfill. The EPA directed the City to remove the
burrows and evaluate the integrity of the landfill cap. E Sciences was engaged to evaluate the possible
damage, and coordinate burrow removal with state and federal regulatory agencies.
The burrows were scoped and video recorded in an effort to assess whether or not the owls had
affected/damaged the geomembrane with inconclusive results. However, it was determined that there were
no eggs or flightless young in the burrows. Following coordination with the EPA, and the Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), starter burrows were created outside of the cep area to
encourage relocation of the owls to this area. The burrows were excavated and it was found that the cap
had not been affected by the owls. The burrows were removed and the owls relocated themselves in the
area outside the cap.
Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport Endangered Species Surveys, Permitting and Relocation:
E Sciences has conducted multiple endangered species surveys and relocation for proposed construction
projects at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. Endangered species encountered, permitted or relocated
include burrowing owls and gopher tortoises.

Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport Proposed U.S. Customs and Border Protection Facility:
E Sciences was engaged by the City to assist with understanding the outstanding environmental and
regulatory issues at a tenant space at the Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport as part of the planning for a
future U.S. Customs and Border Protection Facility. The property is currently occupied by another private
tenant who historically operated two fueling facilities: one abandoned in place and one recently taken out of
service. Our scope of services included interviewing the tenant and a site visit, review of the tenant's
consultant assessment reports, and communications with Broward County's Environmental Protection and
Growth Management Department ( EPGMD). This ongoing process is continuing as E Sciences provides
periodic updates and advises the City in ways to reduce the potential for liability associated with these
former fueling systems and reduce the potential for them to impact construction.
Progresso Village Neighborhood: E Sciences conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
(ESA) for the City's Neighborhood Services group in order to support application for federal funding for
decorative entranceway signs.
Hortt Elementary: E Sciences conducted a Phase I and Phase 11 ESA for the City to support their purchase
of this school property intended for redevelopment as a neighborhood park. This property was initially
developed by Mr. M.A. Hortt who was one of the early Fort Lauderdale settlers. The project was expedited
to meet the constraints of contract timing.
Twin Lakes: E Sciences conducted a Phase I ESA and asbestos survey to support the City's purchase and
redevelopment of this residence as a park.
Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport Fuel Spill Regulatory Assistance: Due to damage to an aircraft fuel
tank during a low speed collision between two airplanes at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, a jet fuel
discharge was reported to EPGMD. Immediately after the incident staff employed emergency procedures
and property managed the spill. E Sciences was initially called in to conduct soil testing to determine if the
soils in the area were impacted with jet fuel. When E Sciences reviewed the documentation, we determined
that everything had been sufficiently managed and that the activities should not require soil assessment or a
formal discharge report, which would trigger a requirement to conduct a Site Assessment. E Sciences
provided documentation and communications with EPGMD in order to prevent the reported discharge from
entering the bureaucratic process of future assessment and remediation requirements.
Fort Lauderdale Low Level Bridges: E Sciences provided asbestos surveys in anticipation of demolition
and reconstruction of three low level neighborhood bridges for the City: The Harborage, Marcetta River, and
Carlotta River. These reports met the requirements for FDOT, as FDOT was providing funding for this
project.
Fire Station #46: E Sciences was contracted with the City to provide an indoor air quality survey to evaluate
comfort- related issues posed by building occupants regarding indoor air quality. The scope of services
included a walkthrough of the building; interviews with building occupants; observations of the air
conditioning systems; measurements for temperature, relative humidity, carbon monoxide, and carbon
dioxide in each building area; and moisture readings in areas where either visible indications of moisture
impact were noted or that were reported by building occupants.
Sailboat Bend Preserve: E Sciences was hired by the City to conduct a Phase I and II ESA of vacant
property being designated for use as recreational space and installation of a 'tot lor. The property is
adjacent to the City's public works and police department complex. No environmental concerns were
identified.
Parcel Located at 538 NW 9th Avenue: E Sciences was engaged by the City's CRA to conduct a Phase I
ESA of this property, located across the street from the CRA building. This vacant lot was being procured by
the CRA as part of an assemblage of parcels for future development opportunities along Sistrunk Boulevard.

Continuing Services
Client City of Miami Beach
Project Dates August 2011 –Ongoing
County Miami -Dade
Description
E Sciences was awarded a contract with the City of Miami Beach to conduct environmental engineering
services. To date, E Sciences has provided the City with the following services:
Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans — E Sciences prepared SPCC Plans for 12
facilities throughout Miami Beach. These facilities included pump stations, fire stations, public works yard,
Miami Beach Golf Club and the Convention Center. E Sciences' approach for performing the SPCC Plan(s)
required under this contract followed the steps outlined in applicable federal regulations (40 CFR 112). We
conducted the following activities to obtain the information required to complete the Tier I SPCC Plan:
• Review available as -built drawings, surveys and plans related to the structures and drainage
pathways
• Conduct a site visit of each facility with a person knowledgeable of the facility's tank systems,
coordinated through the City's Environmental Department
• Interview the site manager or other personnel familiar with the tank systems and other oil storage
®
systems
• Review records of previous spills
• Evaluate topography and surface water flow regimes
• Evaluate areas of obvious discharge potential and spill sources
• Identify environmentally sensitive areas and potential receptors if a spill were to occur
• Document security measures to prevent unauthorized access to oil handling
• Develop a list of emergency response personnel
• Review the City's spill response measures
• Review records of tank integrity and pressure tests
• Review the City's personnel training records
The above information was used to complete the Tier I SPCC Plan for each facility. The Plan was reviewed
and certified by an E Sciences Professional Engineer. We also incorporated recommendations to assist the
City with compliance with state regulations.
Green Waste Facility — This site is an undeveloped, bermed area located on the east side of the Miami
Beach Golf Club. The site was previously used by the City of Miami Beach for solid waste management and
a portion of the area contained buried debris. In anticipation of constructing the wastewater reclamation
facility, the City implemented a material screening plan to remove the buried solid waste and screen out the
larger (greater than 24nches) pieces of solid waste for off -site disposal. The recovered screened material
(RSM) was merged with a berm around the solid waste handling area to separate it from adjacent properties
and the golf course. The larger pieces of debris removed consisted primadly of rock, concrete and wood
debris. Miami -Dade Department of Environmental Resource Management (DERM) (currently Permitting,
Environment and Regulatory Affairs – PERA) required the City to demonstrate that there was a minimum of
two feet of clean fill or other engineering control in place covering areas of solid waste in or around the berm
®
in order pursue regulatory closure for the site.

E Sciences conducted environmental services to provide the City with guidance on whether it can be
® demonstrated that there was two feet of dean fill covering the bens. In order to complete the project in a
time and cost effective manner, E Sciences developed a phased sampling approach by collecting all the
necessary samples, but conducting laboratory analysis on an iterative basis. The limited initial sampling
results revealed the presence of regulated contaminants above regulatory criteria, therefore additional
analysis was not deemed necessary. The City is currently proposing to implement an engineering control
(EC) to achieve conditional site closure along with the adjacent golf course property, protect human health
and the environment. E Sciences is completing the engineering control design and coordinating review and
approval with PERA. We are including options for re -using unwanted, dean fill materials or recycled
materials from other places within the City as part of the engineering control system. The proposed
engineering control will consist of the installation of an impermeable geosynthetic day liner (GCL) and
fill/sod system over the RSM berm. Furthermore, E Sciences is facilitating guidance and recommendation
for the installation of the GCL cover to the City and will provide site oversight during construction in order to
verify the proper installation of the cover and handling of the contaminated soil. Upon completion of the
cover installation, E Sciences will submit as -built drawings and cross- sections documenting the constructed
condition of the berm to PERA. Additionally, E Sciences will prepare and submit an inspection, monitoring
and maintenance plan for the EC.
Sea Level Rise Evaluation — E Sciences is conducting a study of groundwater elevations, tidal
fluctuations and rainfall over a period of seven months to help the City to evaluate the effects of sea level
rise. To identify areas of potential short and long term flooding, we are creating GIS layers of surface water
levels from high quality UDAR data, groundwater levels from wells, and other research conducted. The
critical component of the effort is to identify areas with limited soil storage capacity, and areas where sea
level rise is expected to reduce unsaturated soil storage capacity further. These data will be contoured to
provide a spatial presentation of areas with higher vulnerability for impacts of sea level rise through
groundwater.
® A letter report outlining our methodology, the results of the study in narrative, charts and graphics, and
recommendations will be provided at the completion of the study. We will work with City staff to develop a
plan for future 'armoring" and creating resiliency of the City's stormwater system and other infrastructure as
requested.
Street Tree Inventory — E Sciences conducted street tree inventories for the Normandy Shores and
Normandy Isles neighborhoods. A total of 6,010 trees were inventories using sub -meter GPS and provided
to the City in an ESRI ArcGIS shape file. The work included assessing each tree for its general condition
and providing recommendations for maintenance.
Greenspace Canopy Assessment — Using i -Tree Canopy and i -Tree Vue, E Sciences assessed the
extent of the City's urban forest canopy and the ecological services provided by the trees. E Sciences
estimated the canopy coverage for the City's entire urban forest, its parks and its rights of way using i -Tree
Canopy. It also estimated the percentage of available space remaining within the City for additional tree
planting. Using i -Tree Vue, calculations were made to estimate the carbon sequestration and storage, as
well as pollutant removal being provided by the trees. E Sciences developed a brochure for public education
documenting the information from the study.

Description
E Sciences, Incorporated (E Sciences), as a subconsultant to HDR Engineering, Inc., is providing assistance
with the environmental, drainage and permitting services required on the Overseas Highway roadway
improvements from north of Old SR-4A/MM 77.5 to Jerome Avenue /MM 81.41 located in Monroe County,
Florida.
E Sciences conducted the wetland and listed species survey for the project corridor. Mangroves, forested area
and beach are located adjacent to the project corridor and portions of the corridor cross over or are adjacent to
waters of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary ( FKNMS). These waters are designated as an
Outstanding Florida Water (OFW), and as such are afforded special projection. Numerous protected species
utilize the FKNMS upland and offshore habitats in the project vicinity. Due to the nature of the project (i.e.,
milling and resurfacing; addition of bike lanes in uplands; restoration of existing bike paths; pavement
markings), no direct wetland or listed species impacts are expected as a result of the project. However, special
attention to the surface water pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) and erosion control plan (ECP) will be
required to ensure impacts to the FKNMS are avoided.
®
E Sciences is working with the project engineer to avoid wetland impacts. This includes providing specific
items, such as dearly delineating areas which cannot be used for storage of equipment or materials; and
instructions for preventing any materials from bridge work falling into the water to ensure inadvertent impacts do
not occur.

Vizcaya Southern Lagoon & Northern Canal Tidal
Swamp Landscape Environmental Restoration
Client Miami -Dade County, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens Trust
Project Date(s) January 2012 – Ongoing
Project County Miami -Dade
Description
Vizcaya Gardens and Museum, built in 1915 by
Industrialist James Deering, was acquired in 1952
by Miami -Dade County and is a US Historic
National Landmark site. Devastation from
Hurricanes Wilma and Katrina in 2005 wreaked
havoc on the gardens and grounds, designed for
Deering by the Columbian Landscape Architect
Diego Suarez, resulting in debris and sedimentation
blockages in the canal and tidal pond system that
connects to Biscayne Bay. Nuisance and exotic
species infestations, and declining water quality
from a loss of tidal flushing has resulted in a loss of
fish and wading bird usage of the gardens and
waterways. Rare coastal hammock hardwood forest
habitat was also destroyed.
E Sciences is formulated a multi- disciplinary landscape architecture and environmental restoration plan for
the waterways and tidal pool which balances ecological function with creative landscape aesthetics,
recreational functions and values, and improvements to water quality, and planting designs based on
historic flora inventories — including mangroves, native hardwood hammock and coastal scrub species.
E Sciences developed design plans to dredge the south canal at Vizcaya. A collapsed retaining wall at the
mouth of the south canal, in addition to encroachment of mangroves and other emergent wetland
vegetation, through the deposition of organic material and the capturing of sediments by their roots, has
resulted in interruptions to the intended tidal fluctuations within the canal. E Sciences applied for a Class I
Permit from Miami -Dade County Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER) Department), a permit
exemption from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and a Letter of Permission
(LOP) from the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) to conduct maintenance dredging activities involving
the removal of approximately 1,410 cubic yards of silt and sediments from the bottom of the canal. The
objective of this project is to enhance and restore lost hydrologic and biological functions to the canal.

® Florida Power & Light Proposed Overtown- Venetian Transmission Line, Miami, Florida.
Florida Power & Light (FPL) was faced with the critical challenge of installing a 138 kV line from its
substation in Miami across Biscayne Bay to its Venetian substation in Miami Beach. This needed to be
accomplished while minimizing impacts to the community and environment and keeping the public
informed of the design logic and construction process. Electric power load demand in the Miami and
Miami Beach area was projected to exceed the current capacity by the middle of 2007. The increased load
was a result of new commercial office buildings and other facilities in the area. The load demand growth
will cause the transmission network serving the Miami Beach areas to exceed the existing capacity
supplied by FPL through the existing power circuits to that area. Unacceptable reliability conditions may
occur if the new transmission line is not constructed to improve the existing systems capacity.
The purpose of the geotechnical exploration program is to provide exploratory information in connection
with the proposed FPL Overtown- Venetian Transmission line project. The proposed method of
installation of the transmission line is primarily by horizontal direction drilling (FIDD) to minimize
impacts to the submerged aquatic resources in Biscayne Bay. Cut and cover methods are being evaluated
for the landside portions (Miami Beach) of the project. The purpose of the geotechnical exploratory
program is to obtain subsurface soils information needed to complete the transmission line design and to
determine the most appropriate depth for the transmission line installation.
PST's services included obtaining data regarding the general subsurface conditions along the
® proposed alignments by means of exploratory borings (SPT and rock core), as well as laboratory
testing of the collected samples. The laboratory testing was conducted for classification purposes
and to provide pertinent engineering characteristics of the material.

0 Port of Miami Tunnel Project - Miami -Dade County, Florida
PSI provided geotechnical engineering services for the Port of Miami Tunnel project in Miami -
Dade County, Florida. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 6 completed a
PD &E study of a four -lane tunnel connection from Watson Island to the Port of Miami that will
provide direct access between the Port of Miami and 1 -395 via MacArthur Causeway. This
PD &E study was reviewed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and they
determined that construction of this bored tunnel connection would not have any significant
impact on the human environment. Thus, on December 13, 2000, FHWA issued a Finding of No
Significant Impact for the project. Following the issuance of the EA/FONSI by FHWA, this
project was transferred to the jurisdiction of Florida's Turnpike Enterprise. In 2005, the project
was transferred from the Florida's Turnpike Enterprise back into the jurisdiction of FDOT
District 6.
Since the completion of the PD &E Study and receipt of the FONSI, many changes have
occurred, specifically with new development on Watson Island. Before proceeding with further
work based upon the approved FONSI documents, the Turnpike Enterprise decided that it was
prudent to re- evaluate the previous PD &E Study. The Turnpike Enterprise has therefore,
selected Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade & Douglas, Inc., as their Owner's Representative, for the
re- evaluation of the PD &E study for the Port of Miami tunnel.
The general objective is to develop a cost effective program to link the Port of Miami with the
® Interstate system, thereby improving the passenger and cargo movement to and from the Port,
alleviating the traffic congestion and pollution in the Miami Central Business District (CBD),
and allowing the growth of the Port with positive socioeconomic impacts on the region.
The project consists of a depressed roadway and tunnel between Watson Island and Dodge Island
beneath the Government Cut main channel in Biscayne Bay, to provide improved access for
cargo and passenger vehicles destined for the Port of Miami. The project is designed to divert
trucks and busses carrying cruise passengers directly off I -395 (MacArthur Causeway) through
this dedicated roadway directly into the Port. The plan takes heavy traffic off the streets of
Miami, thereby eliminating a source of congestion. Currently, the project calls for two lanes
inbound and two lanes outbound. The bored tunneling option has been considered below the
Main Channel. Cut and cover methods are being evaluated for the landside portions of the
project.
PSI's services included a geotechnical study to obtain data regarding the general subsurface
conditions near the proposed alignments by means of exploratory borings, as well as laboratory
testing of the collected soil and rock samples. The laboratory testing was conducted for
classification purposes and to provide pertinent engineering characteristics for this study.

Tamiami Canal Historic Swing Bridge Replacement Reevaluation, FDOT District Six, Miami -Dade County, Florida — The
existing swing bridge was originally constructed as the Miami River's 27th Ave. River crossing in 1921, and subsequently relocated
to its current Tamiami Canal location in 1941. The bridge is one of three bob - tailed swing spans in Florida and is one of the oldest
bridges on the Miami River. The bridge is structurally deficient and functionally obsolete, and will not be able to accommodate
future high traffic demands. Mr. Freedman reevaluated the E4/FONSI for a historic bridge replacement project in Miami -Dade
County. Work included coordination with the three agencies with overlapping jurisdiction over the project – FDOT, Miami -Dade
County and City of Miami, as well as numerous consultants.

recommendations for its removal.
Dune Enhancement and lighting Design and Permitting, City of Dania Beach, Broward County, Florida — For this project, Mr.
Freedman designed and permitted enhancements to dunes along Dania Beach's signature beach. This project was initiated due to
public safety concerns and became controversial as the project included the removal of a stand of seagrape trees. Mr. Freedman
worked closely with FDEP permitting agency staff and sea turtle experts from the FWC, and coordinated with a number of
environmental advocacy groups that initially voiced opposition for the project. Through meetings and presentations, Mr. Freedman
demonstrated the environmental and public safety value of the project and received consensus among the stakeholders. Work for
this project included reviewing and making recommendations to make lighting at the beach more sea turtle friendly, designing lighting
shields, designing dune landscaping, preparing a sea turtle protection ordinance, construction oversight and post- construction
monitoring.

project area. E Sdences subsequently worked with the design engineers to develop construction methodologies to minimize
resource impacts and thereby minimize permitting requirements. Due to dose coordination with agency regulators and design
engineers, the project will qualify for a Standard General Environmental Resources Permit from the FDEP. Additionally since the
project will avoid impacts to mangroves Miami -Dade County authorization will not be required for the project, saving valuable
time and money for the project.

of tropical hardwood hammock, and a pedestrian bridge over Marvin D. Adam's Waterway. During the design phase for this project,
Mr. Freedman mapped trees along the corridor and worked with designers to avoid impacting valuable trees, including trees
constituting natural areas adjacent to the roadway and individual landscape trees that were likely to provide shade for pedestrians.
Where possible, Mr. Freedman provided notes to instruct where roots and limbs could be trimmed back to provide access. He also
conducted a benthic resources survey within the proposed bridge footprint over the Marvin D. Adam's Waterway. Using SCUBA and
a team of divers and structural engineers, Mr. Freedman documented resources for use in acquiring project permits.
Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, City of Miami, Miami -Dade County, Florida — This project involved a multi-clisciptinary
landscape architecture and environmental restoration plan for the waterways and tidal pool within the museum's property, which
balanced ecological function with creative landscape aesthetics, recreational functions and values, and improvements to water
quality, and planting designs based on historic flora inventories, including mangroves, native hardwood hammock and coastal
scrub species. Mr. Freedman served as the project manager for the construction administration portion of this project, including
evaluating contractor qualifications and conducting compliance inspections.

database of residential canals in Monroe County and used database to categorize canals by parameters such as size, depth,
configuration, distance from open water, orientation, and land use. Collected data from, and collaborated with, numerous agencies,
municipalities, homeowners and other stakeholders in the Keys. Used the categorization to recommend various treatment
technologies. Performed a case study on the effectiveness of various treatment technologies employed in one community to
address water quality issues over a period of approximately 20 years. The GIS database is used by numerous agencies.
Big Coppht Stornwater/Xeriscape Engineering Services, Monroe County, Florida – As Project Manager, Ms. Gertenbach
provided Monroe County supplemental design for an FDOT road - widening project on Big Coppitt Key that was going to impact an
existing bike path. Monroe County wanted to use the opportunity to correct design flaws in the path that had become apparent
over the years. However, due to budget constraints, FDOT was not able to design the path with the upgrades that the County
identified, such as reducing the width of the path and incorporating meanders. The E Sciences Team coordinated with the
FDOT design engineers throughout the design process, revising the bike path and landscaping as changes were made to the
® stornwater swales. Monroe County's desired upgrades were successfully incorporated into the plans, and were included in the
final construction.
Vizcaya Gardens, City of Miami, Miami -Dade County, Florida — Ms. Gertenbach provided quality assurance on this restoration
project at the prestigious Vizcaya Gardens. E Sciences' team of landscape architects, engineers and scientists worked together to
develop restoration plans for two areas in the gardens: the hardwood hammock and the south canal restoration. The hammock had
been damaged through the years by storms, including hurricanes, which weakened trees and allowed infestation by exotic invasive
plants. E Sciences developed a comprehensive plan for removing invasive species and replanting natives that blended seamlessly
with the well-established gardens. For the south canal restoration, E Sciences prepared design plans and applied for a Class I
Permit from Miami -Dade County Permitting, Environment and Regulatory Affairs, a permit exemption from FDEP and a Letter of
Permission (LOP) from USACE to conduct maintenance dredging activities involving the removal of approximately 1,410 cubic
yards of silt and sediments from the bottom of the canal. The objective of this project is to enhance and restore lost hydrologic
and biological functions to the canal. E Sciences worked closely with the regulatory community to restore the canal while
protecting the mangroves that had encroached into the waterway. E Sciences also developed long -term stream-mangrove
maintenance solutions.
Alternative Lighting Design Standards for Roadways in Coastal Areas, South Florida — As project manager, Ms. Gertenbach
worked closely with FDOT District Four personnel, lighting engineers and regulatory agencies to develop alterative lighting design
standards for roadways in coastal areas adjacent to sea turtle nesting beaches. Development of standards will provide lighting
engineers alterative designs that can be used to reduce or eliminate light that would otherwise trespass onto beaches, and
possibly disrupt sea turtles' nesting activities. The standards will also likely help architects and engineers working on a variety of
projects in other ecologically sensitive areas become aware of the alterative lighting designs available. Work on this project has
lead to a number of related projects including: retrofitting lights along SR A1A in Broward County with sea turtle friendly fights
and /or shields; design and installation of signs along and leading to SR A1A in Broward County informing public of reduced lighting
during sea turtle nesting season; and participation in a number of community activities educating the public about sea turtles, the
effect lighting can have on their nesting activities, and successful alterative lighting projects implemented by FDOT (ex: SR AIA in
Boca Raton).

0 Section 4 - Approach / Methodology
Project management approach
RJ Behar has been providing the City of Sunny Isles Beach with professional engineering services for the past
two years. During this period of time, we have demonstrated a commitment to meet schedules, provide quality
services and provide proactive management on all of the work assigned to date. This includes:
• Design Services of Lehman Causeway Wall - RJ Behar completed this assignment ahead of schedule
and reacted quickly when the City discovered the need to relocate the wall. This included the need to
mitigate unforeseen utilities during construction and provide quick and cost effective alternate solutions
during the construction of the wall.
• Design Build Criteria Package for Gateway Park Pedestrian Bridge - RJ Behar completed this assign-
ment ahead of schedule. The assignment required coordination with the FDOT, as well as other agencies.
• Gilbert Samsun Park - We are providing civil engineering services, as well as, coordinating several
disciplines for this very high profile park project, which includes coordinating landscape architecture,
structural engineering, surveying, architecture and geotechnical engineering services.
At RJ Behar, we understand that repeat business is the key to a successful company and as such we strive to
provide full customer satisfaction. Our organization places the upmost importance on the Project Manager to
deliver quality services, on time and within budget. The Project Manager is the key to a successful project; he
is the "CEO" for the technical elements related to the project. Our project management philosophy is to be
proactive. This simply means: to search out problems and solve them before they can happen. Our Project
Manager, Mr. Javier Rodriguez, P.E., has been involved in numerous design projects over the past 26 years. Our
® management philosophy is best summarized as follows:
a. Staff (Personnel who will perform the work) :
RJ Behar will commit highly competent and experienced professionals to this project. They will be provided
the necessary resources and be held accountable for their results. For each firm in the team, we have
established a point of contact for this contract that will start the coordination from each firm to develop the
scope of services.
L.1
Management of the Schedule

the project. Working with City
Staff and key members of the =_ -`
Project Team, Mr. Rodriguez will
identify all discrete activities,
resources and efforts required for
each task, and prepare the project _
schedule. Inputs to the schedule
will be activities, duration of each _—
activity, predecessors and
successors to each activity, efforts
® required to complete each activity, and personnel assigned to successfully complete each activity.
�R.J.Behar RFQ No. 14 -07 -02 1 Page 14. 1
Continuing Professional Services for Architectural, Landscape Architectural,
Engineering and Land Surveying Firm Only (CCNA) - RFQ No. 14 -07 -02
® This process will result in a "Project Schedule" identifying activities, which are on the "critical path" as well as
float time in other activities. This is particularly important because activities on the "critical path" cannot slip
without adversely impacting the "Project Schedule ". Mr. Rodriguez will monitor all activities assuring the
proper level of staffing to strictly adhere to the "Project Schedule." Team meetings will be held on a regular
basis to review progress and assure compliance with the "Project Schedule." Meeting minutes and Progress
Reports can be submitted to the City on a monthly basis.
The schedule is developed to satisfy the City's need and is prepared at the time of scope preparation and
negotiations. The schedule should satisfy the following parameters:
The time frame should be as needed and agreed with the City's Project Manager.
> It should include adequate time for each step taking advantage of parallel steps as much as possible.
> It should include time for the revision of deliverables and approval by the City.
> It should adequately consider permitting agencies review.
> The time steps should be realistic based on project constraints.
Meeting with Clients and Coordination
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 and can keep the Project Manager informed electronically (e- mail). This
approach has proven very successful in ensuring quality service, customer satisfaction and prompt
complaint resolution. Mr. Rodriguez will serve as our focal point of coordination and for providing timely
responses and prompt follow up. He will be the link with the project team.
® > Between RJ Behar and the City
RJ Behar we will keep the City's Project Manager well - informed of all project issues at all times. Recognizing
that the City's Project Managers may be managing many projects at the same time, we will try to minimize the
staff day - today 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 Project Manager desires.
RJ Behar will schedule progress meetings as often as the City Project Manager desires. It is important to
note that we propose a Kick -off meeting at the beginning of the task with the City's Project Manager, our key
staff, and subconsultants required. This meeting will insure the start of the project on the right foot. The
scope, work plan, schedules, and understanding of the task should be discussed and any major issues should
be identified up- front.
> Between RJ Behar and Subconsultants
Another important aspect of coordination is between RJ Behar and its subconsultants. Again, we will make
use of electronic transfer of information in order to maintain close communication ties throughout the project.
It will be our sole responsibility to make sure that our subconsultants comply with their schedule and quality of
their deliverable. A key to receiving quality work from subconsultants is to keep them informed. As the Prime
Consultant, we will schedule work tasks to get the required data to our subconsultants as soon as possible.
We will provide our team project schedules and all updates to that schedule.
> Between RJ Behar and Utility Companies /Permitting Agencies
® 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.
Between RJ Behar and Private Stakeholders
RJ Behar will, through the City, coordinate with the private stakeholders involved. We will organize public
meetings, one- on-one meetings, conference calls, preparing presentations, etc. We will make ourselves avail-
able to provide the services that the City needs. On all public meetings we will keep minutes, or recordings as
needed to document these meetings.

Figure 1. Project Coordination
d. Communication
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. These will include minutes of meetings
with all entities involved.
e. Cost Control (within budget)
RJ Behar utilizes spreadsheets and the
sophisticated Advantage from DELTEK
computer software to keep track of the project
budgets. Regardless of the budget constraints
of any project, RJ Behar has the commitment of
completing every contracted project to the
satisfaction of the client. RJ Behar utilizes
management spreadsheets for control of each
project, which are discussed in our weekly meetings. At these meetings, we go over the items that need to be

completed, the budget, and the staff needed to complete each item. Our company President presides over
these meetings to insure each project and task is allocated the necessary resources.
QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE
a. Quality Control (quality services)
Project efforts can be ineffective and time consuming if accomplished
incorrectly. Our proactive philosophy emphasizes the early resolution of
project issues. An on -going quality control process goes a long way
identifying these key issues early. RJ Behar will ensure the quality of
its product. We strongly believe that we are solely accountable for the
delivered product, including the quality of our sub - consultants' product.
A synopsis of our quality program is outlined below.
1. QC Personnel
An autonomous reviewer, who is completely independent from
the design teams' staff, performs the review. The personnel
chosen are highly experienced in the tasks they will be
reviewing. Committing the appropriate staffing to the project is
the most important quality assurance measure. The quality
control team will be led by our project manager.
2. QC Reviews
These are normally divided into three major areas: 1) engineering design review (criteria); 2) plans
preparation /cross reference review; and 3)
constructability review. Providing for these will
assure the City the quality it is paying for. For the
review process, RJ Behar has developed
checklists of items that must be included on each
type of project.
3. QC Process
We will follow a process, which starts with the 1)
design originator, 2) it is sent to a checker, 3) it
goes back to the originator who reviews these
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; and 7) Plans are back checked. All
of these steps will require initials and dates by the
individual(s) involved.
