As the City’s incumbent continuing civil engineering consultant, selected under the prior RFQ No. 20-07-01, Ross brings established familiarity with the City’s infrastructure, coordination procedures, project delivery expectations, and local conditions. We welcome the opportunity to continue supporting the City with responsive, practical, and cost-effective professional engineering services for its roadway, drainage, stormwater, utility, infrastructure, facility, and capital improvement needs. Established in 2003, Ross Engineering is a Florida civil and environmental engineering consulting firm with more than two decades of experience serving municipalities, counties, public works agencies, educational institutions, parks, utility providers, and other public-sector clients throughout South Florida. From our Miami- Dade County office, Ross can mobilize quickly for meetings, field investigations, emergency or time-sensitive assignments, and coordination with City staff, regulatory agencies, utilities, contractors, and other project stakeholders. Ross has assembled a focused multidisciplinary team tailored to the services anticipated under this continuing services contract. SGM Engineering, Inc. will serve as Ross’s subconsultant for Mechanical, HVAC, and Plumbing Engineering, providing specialized support for assignments involving mechanical systems, HVAC, plumbing, pumping and piping systems, municipal facilities, and related study, design, and construction- phase services. Thomas J. Kelly, Inc. will serve as Ross’s subconsultant for Surveying and Mapping, providing professional surveying services including topographic, boundary, right-of-way, design, and construction- related surveys and mapping. Together, these firms complement Ross Engineering’s core civil engineering capabilities and provide the City with a coordinated team for civil, MEP, and surveying needs. Ross will remain the Prime Consultant and civil engineering lead, integrating all supporting services into a unified scope, schedule, quality-control process, and set of project deliverables. Ross’s qualifications are further strengthened by our successful performance under the City’s current continuing civil engineering contract. Through this relationship, our team has developed first-hand knowledge of the City’s infrastructure, coastal drainage conditions, roadway constraints, permitting environment, and coordination requirements. One representative assignment is the NE 172nd Street Roadway and Drainage Improvements Project, where Ross provided professional civil and roadway drainage engineering services within a constrained municipal corridor near the Intracoastal Waterway. Services included topographic and route surveying, ICPR hydrologic and hydraulic analysis, roadway and drainage design, evaluation of existing exfiltration trenches and gravity drainage wells, pump system improvements, permitting, preparation of signed and sealed construction documents, bidding and preconstruction assistance, shop drawing review, field observations, as-built review, final walkthrough, punch-list preparation, and closeout assistance. That assignment provided Ross with valuable familiarity with the City’s infrastructure, coastal drainage conditions, roadway constraints, review procedures, and coordination requirements. It also demonstrates our ability to work effectively with the City, Miami-Dade County regulatory agencies, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, contractors, utility representatives, surveyors, and other stakeholders to deliver improvements that are practical, permittable, constructible, maintainable, and responsive to the needs of the community. 4 Ross Engineering, Inc. |3325 S University Drive, Suite 111, Davie, FL |954-318-0624 17670 NW 78th Ave., Ste 214, Miami, FL 33015 | P: 786.468.8304 | F: 305.392-1019 | www.rossengineers.com Ross understands that assignments under this continuing services contract may vary considerably in size, complexity, urgency, and funding source. Our available services include roadway and drainage improvements; stormwater collection, wells, and pumping systems; water distribution and wastewater collection systems; pump stations; utility coordination and relocation; surveying and mapping; hydrologic and hydraulic analysis; feasibility studies; planning; permitting; cost estimating; preparation of plans, specifications, and construction documents; bidding assistance; construction administration; field observation; inspections; grant-related support; plan review; and miscellaneous civil engineering consultation. For each task order, Ross will begin by confirming the City’s scope, schedule, budget, available information, permitting requirements, utility conditions, public-access considerations, and operational constraints. Our team will document existing conditions, identify project risks early, evaluate practical alternatives, and maintain regular communication with the City throughout design and construction. Cost estimates and schedules will be monitored as the work progresses, and formal quality reviews will be conducted at appropriate milestones to minimize errors, reduce unnecessary redesign, and support timely permitting and construction. Ross’s proposed management structure provides the City with direct access to experienced leadership and clearly defined responsibility. Melissa Ross, MSCE, Principal-in-Charge, will provide executive oversight, resource allocation, and overall contract accountability. Robert Ross, PE, Project Manager, will serve as the City’s primary day-to-day point of contact and will manage task-order delivery, staffing, schedules, budgets, subconsultant coordination, and communication with City staff. Robert will coordinate SGM Engineering and Thomas J. Kelly, Inc. whenever their specialized services are required, ensuring that their work is incorporated into Ross’s project schedule and deliverables. Raymond Rammo, PE, Technical Advisor and QA/QC Lead, will provide senior-level technical guidance, independent quality review, permitting and constructability input, and final technical oversight. They will be supported by Ross’s engineering analysts, civil designers, engineers in training, CAD production staff, project documentation personnel, and field-support team.

Through this new project, each property will be provided with a new 6” sanitary sewer lateral, new water meter and water service that is connected to the new mains in the street. Design Completed: 10/2024 Cost: $9M Connect to Protect – Atlas S14 (PCTS 16310) Connect to Protect Project for Atlas S14 in the City of Sweetwater was one of the project Ross worked on under the continuing contract. The purpose of this very important project endorsed by the Mayor of Miami Dade County is to extend sanitary sewer service to residents with septic systems in order to protect properties, health, and natural areas such as Biscayne Bay. The septic systems that were considered by MD-WASD to be vulnerable or may fail by 2040 were the priority for this analysis. Ross provided an engineering evaluation and technical memorandum for the Connect to Protect (i.e., Septic to Sewer) program for 1-square mile of Atlas S14. The technical memorandum was an assessment of the existing sewer assets in the right-of-way and the possibility for providing lateral connections from the existing gravity sewer to the property boundary. This analysis was for all vulnerable parcels in the atlas which currently use septic systems, and which abut existing gravity sewers. A thorough investigation of this area was completed via GIS database and as-builts provided by MD-WASD and City of Sweetwater. Out of the 102 parcels analyzed in Atlas S14, only 81 lateral connections were possible based on the criteria. These 81 possible connections are based on adjacent sewer laterals, however water main offsets may be required where the laterals cross over large water mains.

Ross was recently re-selected for this contract in 2023 to continue consulting on the School Board’s drainage infrastructure through 2028. Since 2018, Ross has successfully inspected and certified over 45 schools in Broward County. The schools’ range in size from over 50 acres with 112 drainage structures to 15 acres with 30 structures. Each site was broken down into the following process: Typical 5 year drainage certification process: • Schedule inspection at school • Perform inspection at school • Prepare inspection report • QA/QC Review • Opinion of probable cost • Coordinate with SBBC & contractor to request cost estimate • Review cost estimate from cost estimate and request PO • Perform follow-up inspection post contractor maintenance, 1st • Prepare follow-up report • Perform follow-up inspection post contractor maintenance, 2nd • Prepare Renewal Letter including check request • Follow-up with County and notify SBBC of completed SWM renewal Some school sites have existing flooding issues and a new mandate by the school board commission board has been implemented to upgrade existing school properties to eliminate flooding and protect buildings and facilities onsite. Ross has utilized both ICPR 4.0 and SFWMD CASCADE modeling software to perform drainage studies on several school sites. From the studies, concept designs are submitted to the School Board PM for review and in most cases final design and permitting is initiated and commenced. Solutions include gravity drainage wells, exfiltration trenches, retention areas, wet ponds, swales etc. Below are a sample of schools that were certified or in the process of the 5-year certification with Broward County, South Broward Drainage District, Indian Trace Improvement District, Sunshine Water control District and Cocomar Water Control District. • Bayview Elementary School – Fort Lauderdale (Broward County) • Blanche Ely High School – Pompano Beach FL (Broward County) • Coral Glades High School – Coral Springs FL (Sunshine Water Control District) • Falcon Cove Middle School – Weston FL (Indian Trace improvement District) BROWARD COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS CIVIL ENGINEERING CONTINUING SERVICES Broward County, FL Client Reference Teresa A.

Ms. Ross was the Project Manager for this task. GIS was utilized to identify the pipe characteristics such as aging pipelines, extensive leaks/repairs, undersized pipes, and relocation of existing mains with limited access in alleys or easements. Any existing mains less than 6 inches in residential areas were recommended to be upsized to 8 inches, 12-inch diameters for commercial, industrial, and high-density residential use and half-section lines, and 16 inches for the mains along full-section line roads. A fire flow analysis was also performed to ensure accurate sizing and fire hydrant spacing. Currently, Ms. Ross and staff are working on the next phase of this project to design the upsized water mains identified in the memo. Atlas R26 (PCTS 16297) Design Project Following the BODR, Miami-Dade approved the design for the water main replacement for one-half of the square mile that was evaluated. Ms. Ross is the Project Manager to design over 45,000 linear feet of water main in Atlas R26. This project is currently in the 30% design phase and is utilizing the proposed water main layout identified in the memorandum. The new design has been coordinated with Miami-Dade Water and Sewer’s modeling department. All 6-inch mains are abandoned in place and replaced with a new 8-inch DIP wm in the residential areas. In commercial, industrial, and high-density residential areas, the mains are proposed to be replaced with 12-inch water mains. All water meters in easements in the back of the property will be relocated to the front and connected to the new mains, and any section line roads are upsized to 16-inch wm. The undersized mains will also be upsized due to the fire flow deficiency on certain streets to bring them up to code. Existing fire hydrants will be reconnected to the new mains, and new hydrants will be added based on spacing requirements and approved by the Miami-Dade County Fire Department. In addition, the design also includes looping the mains where possible, including blow-off valves or adding additional fire hydrants at the 13 dead-end connections.

PhD (Sr. Hydraulic Engineer) CITY OF NORTH MIAMI Drainage Basin #5 City of North Miami, FL 30 City of Sunny Isles Beach | RFQ 26-07-01 Continuing Professional Architectural and Engineering | General Civil Engineer Project Description Ross Engineering, Inc. was selected through Miami-Dade County’s EDP contract to provide general civil engineering services for Miami- Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces. Under the first task work order, Ross Engineering performed a Sanitary Sewer Evaluation Survey (SSES) for thirteen parks throughout Miami-Dade County in accordance with Miami-Dade County DERM’s SSES program. The purpose of the evaluation was to assist the County in identifying and correcting excessive infiltration and inflow (I/I) within sanitary sewer systems serving County park facilities. Ross Engineering performed site inspections and evaluations at each park, documented existing sanitary sewer conditions, and identified potential system deficiencies. Four of the parks contained less than 1,000 linear feet of gravity sewer and required smoke testing only. The remaining parks required both smoke testing and flow testing to evaluate the amount of infiltration and inflow entering the sanitary sewer system. Ross Engineering used smoke testing equipment to identify visible aboveground smoke discharge points, which indicated potential defects, leaks, or improper connections. All identified deficiencies were documented in the evaluation reports. Ross Engineering also prepared AutoCAD exhibits of the existing sanitary sewer systems within each park using aerial photography and available as-built information. The firm updated the sewer mapping by identifying new manholes, sewer lines, and system features not shown on previous record drawings. Upon completion of the evaluations, Ross Engineering prepared final reports for submittal to Miami-Dade County for review and approval. The completed work supported the County’s ongoing efforts to improve sanitary sewer system performance, reduce infiltration and inflow, and maintain reliable wastewater infrastructure within public park facilities.

The project supported a municipal neighborhood drainage improvement program intended to evaluate existing drainage conditions, verify stormwater modeling assumptions, and support proposed infrastructure improvements for improved roadway drainage and flood mitigation. Ross Engineering’s scope included stormwater flood routing analysis using ICPR 4.0, hydraulic modeling of the drainage system network, drainage report support, and permitting assistance. The firm evaluated local hydrology parameters, roadway right-of- way drainage conditions, proposed hydraulic connections, drainage pipes, catch basins, manholes, potential stormwater pump station improvements, control structures, outfall conditions, canal tailwater conditions, and regulatory discharge requirements. During the verification phase, Ross Engineering collected and analyzed hydrologic data for residential lots, roadway areas, sidewalks, and green areas using aerial information, recent LiDAR data, topographic survey information, as-built records, and existing City SWMM model data. The firm developed stage-area relationships, stage- storage data, weighted curve numbers, land use data, and high/low elevation data for multiple sub-basins within the approximately 100-acre watershed. Ross Engineering also created and refined existing conditions and proposed improvements ICPR models to support the verification report. The modeling effort included QA/QC of hydrologic data, development of an existing conditions ICPR model, comparison of model results with the City’s EPA SWMM model, field evaluation to ground-truth modeling assumptions, and development of proposed conditions modeling for potential stormwater improvements. Proposed improvement scenarios included drainage infrastructure such as piping, additional retention areas, swales, exfiltration trenches, control structures, and outfall modifications. Ross Engineering also provided revised stormwater flood routing modeling and permitting support in response to project development and regulatory review.

Approach/Methodology 54 City of Sunny Isles Beach | RFQ 26-07-01 Continuing Professional Architectural and Engineering | General Civil Engineer Ross Engineering, Inc. has organized this section to respond directly to both the proposal format required by Section 4 of the solicitation and the Approach to Project Management criteria on which this section is scored. The methodology that follows is the same disciplined, earned-value-based project-management system Ross applies on its continuing-services and task-work-order contracts throughout South Florida, scaled to the size, urgency, and risk of each assignment the City of Sunny Isles Beach authorizes. Quick Key to Ross Engineering’s Responses to City’s Requirements Approach/Methodology Where Addressed Suitability of the methodologies and approaches used in achieving tasks 4.1 Understanding of the Contract; 4.2 Suitability of Methodology Overall organization to completing the project 4.3 Project Organization and Accountability Work plan explaining how deadlines will be met 4.4 Task-Order Work Plan Approach to Project Management – Cost Control 4.5.1 Cost Control, Cost Estimating, and Value Engineering Approach to Project Management – Scheduling 4.5.2 Scheduling and Ability to Meet Deadlines Approach to Project Management – Quality Control / Quality Assurance 4.5.3 Quality Control and Quality Assurance Ability to meet desired timelines and deadlines 4.4 Work Plan; 4.5.2 Scheduling Communication with the City’s Project Manager 4.6 Communication and Project Documentation How complaints are handled and brought to the City’s Project Manager 4.7 Complaint and Issue Resolution 4.1 UNDERSTANDING OF THE CONTRACT Ross Engineering understands that the City of Sunny Isles Beach is establishing an as-needed continuing professional services contract under which assignments may vary in size, urgency, technical complexity, and duration. Some task orders may involve a focused site evaluation, feasibility analysis, plan review, cost estimate, permitting consultation, or technical memorandum. Others may require complete engineering services through survey, investigation, design, permitting, bidding, construction administration, field observation, record drawings, and project closeout. The City’s anticipated General Civil Engineering assignments include roadway and drainage improvements, conversion of stormwater wells to pressurized systems through the addition of pumps, water-distribution and wastewater-collection systems, pump stations, injection wells, pipelines, NPDES permitting, surveying and GIS, feasibility studies, construction documents, cost estimates, bidding assistance, construction administration, inspections, plan review, grant support, and representation of the City before governmental and regulatory agencies. Ross will approach each assignment as an extension of City staff. Our objective is to give the City a responsive local team that understands the assignment, establishes clear expectations before work begins, verifies existing conditions, identifies risks early, and delivers practical solutions within the authorized scope, schedule, and budget. Our methodology rests on six principles: early scope definition, direct senior involvement, field-verified information, proactive schedule and cost control, continuous quality review, and open communication with the City’s Project Manager. These principles have supported Ross’s work under continuing-services and task-order contracts for municipalities, utilities, educational institutions, parks departments, and other South Florida public agencies. 4. Approach/Methodology 55 City of Sunny Isles Beach | RFQ 26-07-01 Continuing Professional Architectural and Engineering | General Civil Engineer 4.2 SUITABILITY OF METHODOLOGY – TASK-SPECIFIC APPROACH Ross tailors its methodology to the needs and risk level of each assignment. A small plan-review task is not burdened with the process required for a major roadway, drainage, utility, or pump-system project; conversely, a complex infrastructure assignment receives the investigation, modeling, interdisciplinary coordination, permitting strategy, constructability review, and quality control it requires. This scalability is what makes a single continuing-services methodology suitable across the full range of work the City may authorize. • SCOPE DEFINITION AND THE TASK-ORDER WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE At the beginning of each task order, Ross meets with the City’s Project Manager to confirm the purpose of the assignment, limits of work, required deliverables, available information, design and construction budgets, schedule milestones, permitting requirements, supporting disciplines, and the responsibilities of each participant. The discussion also addresses traffic, public access, utilities, resident and business impacts, City operations, funding requirements, and other conditions that influence project delivery. Ross then converts the confirmed scope into a task-specific Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), a task outline that lists every activity required to complete the assignment and assigns to each a responsible team member, an estimate of labor effort, any subconsultant participation, a deliverable, a review period, and a budget. The WBS is the single foundation from which both the fee budget (Section 4.5.1) and the project schedule (Section 4.5.2) are built and controlled, so that cost and schedule are always measured against the same defined units of work. Assumptions and exclusions are documented so the City and Ross begin each assignment with a common understanding of the work. • EXISTING CONDITIONS AND TECHNICAL EVALUATION Engineering decisions are based on verified information. Ross reviews available surveys, record drawings, GIS data, utility records, permits, inspection reports, prior studies, models, and maintenance information, then conducts site observations to confirm visible conditions and identify discrepancies between records and field conditions. Depending on the assignment, additional investigation may include topographic or route surveys, subsurface utility information, geotechnical testing, drainage- system inspections, rainfall and groundwater records, pump-performance data, fire-flow information, or hydrologic and hydraulic modeling. These needs would be coordinated by Ross, as appropriate. The City’s dense urban development, constrained rights-of-way, coastal influences, high groundwater, existing utilities, and active roadways make early field verification especially important. Identifying these conditions before design advances reduces the likelihood of utility conflicts, redesign, permitting delays, and construction changes. These are the same conditions that, left undiscovered, drive both cost overruns and schedule slippage. • ALTERNATIVES AND RECOMMENDATIONS Where an assignment involves a study or alternatives analysis, Ross will evaluate each option for technical performance, permitting feasibility, construction cost, constructability, compatibility with existing infrastructure, maintenance requirements, useful service life, public disruption, operating cost, resilience, and potential phasing. Major alternatives would be discussed with the City before a preferred solution is advanced, and recommendations are supported by appropriate calculations, drawings, cost information, and a clear explanation of the advantages, limitations, and risks of each option, allowing the City to make informed decisions before substantial design effort is incurred. 56 City of Sunny Isles Beach | RFQ 26-07-01 Continuing Professional Architectural and Engineering | General Civil Engineer 4.3 PROJECT ORGANIZATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY Ross provides a streamlined management structure with direct access to senior decision-makers and one clear line of responsibility. The same three individuals lead every task order, giving the City continuity of accountability across the life of the contract. Melissa Ross, MSCE. Principal-in-Charge. Melissa provides executive oversight of the continuing contract and is responsible for contract-level coordination, resource allocation, staffing continuity, and overall accountability. She remains accessible to the City’s Project Manager for staffing priorities, competing deadlines, contractual concerns, and the commitment of additional resources. Robert J. Ross, PE, LEED AP. Project Manager and Primary Point of Contact. Robert manages the day-to-day performance of individual task orders and is the principal project-level contact with the City. He leads scope development and the WBS, assigns staff, coordinates subconsultants, manages schedules and budgets, conducts progress meetings, oversees permitting, tracks review comments, and coordinates bidding and construction-phase services. Robert also keeps the City’s Project Manager informed of status, decisions, outstanding information, potential risks, and recommended corrective actions. Raymond Rammo, PE. Technical Advisor and QA/QC Lead. Raymond provides independent senior technical guidance and leads Ross’s quality assurance and quality control process, reviewing design criteria, calculations, modeling, plans, reports, specifications, permitting requirements, cost estimates, constructability, interdisciplinary coordination, and construction-phase technical responses. He oversees formal reviews at project milestones and confirms that significant technical comments are resolved before documents are submitted to the City. This management team is supported by engineering analysts, civil designers, engineer interns, CAD- production personnel, documentation staff, and construction and field-support personnel. Supporting subconsultants provide Mechanical/HVAC/Plumbing Engineering, Surveying and Mapping as required. Ross remains the prime consultant and civil engineering lead; all supporting work is coordinated through Robert and reviewed under Raymond’s QA/QC leadership. The structure gives the City direct principal involvement, a dedicated Project Manager, independent senior technical review, and sufficient production capacity to support multiple concurrent assignments. 57 City of Sunny Isles Beach | RFQ 26-07-01 Continuing Professional Architectural and Engineering | General Civil Engineer 4.4 TASK-ORDER WORK PLAN Ross applies the following work plan to each assignment. The phases are combined, expanded, accelerated, or omitted as appropriate to the task order, and each phase carries defined deliverables, review points, and budget drawn from the task-order WBS. Phase Ross Engineering’s Approach 1. Authorization and Scope Confirmation Review the City’s request, confirm objectives and deliverables, identify required personnel and subconsultants, conduct the kickoff meeting, and establish the authorized scope, WBS, schedule, budget, communication procedures, and responsibilities. 2. Existing Conditions and Investigation Review available records; perform site observations; coordinate surveying, utility locating, and specialty investigations when provided or separately authorized by the City; and identify physical, regulatory, operational, and public-access constraints. 3. Analysis and Preliminary Recommendations Complete applicable modeling, calculations, condition assessments, feasibility analysis, permit research, alternatives evaluation, and preliminary cost comparisons. Present major findings and obtain City direction. 4. Design Development Prepare and coordinate the applicable 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% documents/ plans, calculations, specifications, quantities, cost estimates, permit materials, and responses to City comments. 5. Permitting and Bidding Coordinate with regulatory agencies, perform pre-application meetings, respond to permit comments, support pre-bid activities, answer bidder questions, prepare addenda, evaluate bids, and assist the City with recommendation for award. 6. Construction-Phase Services Review submittals and RFIs, attend meetings, conduct authorized observations or inspections, document field conditions, evaluate proposed changes, assist with payment and change-order reviews, and coordinate permit certifications. 7. Closeout Conduct final observations, prepare and verify punch-list items, review as-built information and record drawings, assist with permit closure and certifications, and provide the City with final project records. The City requires a design schedule, construction cost estimates by phase, coordinated design services, progress reviews at the 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% stages, permitting, complete construction documents, construction administration, responses to RFIs, and revised record drawings at completion. This work plan incorporates each of those requirements directly, and the milestone reviews it establishes are the same points at which Ross updates cost estimates (Section 4.5.1) and performs formal QA/QC (Section 4.5.3). • MILESTONE DESIGN REVIEWS »30%: Establish the design basis, preliminary layout, design criteria, major utility considerations, permitting strategy, schedule, and initial cost estimate; confirm overall direction before detailed design proceeds. »60%: Advance the approved concept with coordinated plans, calculations, utilities, supporting disciplines, preliminary specifications, updated quantities, and an updated cost estimate. »90%: Documents substantially complete; perform formal QA/QC and constructability reviews, confirm interdisciplinary coordination, reconcile plans with specifications and bid items, and update the construction cost estimate and schedule. »100%: Address final comments; issue signed and sealed documents, final specifications, quantities, bid information, permit-response materials, and the final opinion of probable 58 City of Sunny Isles Beach | RFQ 26-07-01 Continuing Professional Architectural and Engineering | General Civil Engineer construction cost. 4.5 APPROACH TO PROJECT MANAGEMENT This subsection responds to the three elements on which the City scores project management: Cost Control, Scheduling, and Quality Control/Quality Assurance. All three are driven from the same task-order WBS and are managed on earned-value principles, so that at any point in an assignment Ross can tell the City what has been produced, what it has cost, and where the work stands against schedule. • 4.5.1 COST CONTROL, COST ESTIMATING, AND VALUE ENGINEERING Ross manages two budgets on every assignment: the authorized professional-services (fee) budget and the anticipated construction budget. Both are controlled with the same discipline. »Controlling the professional-services budget. At authorization, Robert builds the fee budget on the task-order WBS, allocating labor hours, subconsultant amounts, and expenses to each activity and phase. This baseline becomes the yardstick for the assignment. At each reporting period, Ross estimates the percent complete of each task against measurable milestones, not simply hours spent, and compares the value of work actually produced to both the labor expended (a cost check) and the planned progress (a schedule check). When a variance develops, Ross determines the cause, recalculates the effort required to complete the task, and raises the issue with the City before the overall task-order budget is affected, rather than reporting an overrun after it has occurred. »Developing construction cost estimates. Opinions of Probable Construction Cost (OPCC) are developed at a level of detail appropriate to each design phase. Estimates are built from quantity takeoffs against the evolving plans and priced using recent local bid tabulations, published unit-cost data, and vendor quotations for major or long-lead items, with explicit line items for mobilization, maintenance of traffic, utility work, permitting, escalation, and a contingency scaled to the maturity of the design. »How often estimates are updated, and the accuracy that is targeted. Estimates are updated at the 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% milestones. Ross prepares estimates on the industry-standard principle that estimate accuracy tightens as design advances: an early conceptual estimate carries a wider expected range and a larger contingency, and each successive milestone narrows both as scope, quantities, and site conditions become better defined. At every update, material changes from the prior estimate are identified and explained to the City so there are no surprises between milestones. These estimate-to-bid and bid-to-final comparisons are documented and used to sharpen future estimates. For Sunny Isles Beach task orders, Ross will report the achieved estimate- to-award and award-to-final variance to the City as bid and final-cost information becomes available, giving the City a documented, project-specific record of accuracy rather than an unsupported figure. • Value engineering. Ross treats value engineering as a continuous part of planning and design, not an end-stage cost-cutting exercise, and never at the expense of safety, code compliance, durability, or required performance.

Ross revised the ICPR drainage model to route through an existing FDOT connection, which supported eliminating a proposed control structure and an outfall to a County canal. Removing the structure removed its construction cost, its permitting burden, and its long-term maintenance obligation, while the revised model confirmed the required drainage performance was still met. This is a direct example of maintaining performance and reducing cost at the same time. »Value-engineering example – City of Sunny Isles Beach, NE 172nd Street Roadway and Drainage Improvements. On the City’s own NE 172nd Street project, Ross evaluated the existing exfiltration trenches, gravity drainage wells, Intracoastal connection, and flap gate before advancing roadway grading and pump improvements, and incorporated that serviceable infrastructure into the recommended solution rather than assuming complete replacement. This controlled construction cost while delivering the drainage and roadway performance the City required. 4.5.2 SCHEDULING AND ABILITY TO MEET DEADLINES Continuing-services contracts require rapid mobilization and the ability to manage several assignments at once. Ross’s scheduling process begins with a realistic baseline schedule built from the task-order WBS rather than a generic commitment to a due date. Developing the schedule. For each assignment, Robert identifies the required activities, their durations and dependencies, the City and agency review periods, and the critical path, and sets internal completion dates in advance of City deadlines so that QA/QC review is never compressed. This is the same earned- value framework used for cost: progress is measured against the scheduled value of work, so schedule slippage is visible early. Maintaining the schedule. Schedule status is reviewed at each progress meeting and updated as work advances. For active or time-sensitive assignments, Ross uses a short-interval look-ahead schedule. Because permitting, utility coordination, survey work, and subsurface investigation typically sit on the critical path, Ross maintains a permitting-and-coordination log that tracks each required approval, the responsible agency and contact, planned and actual submittal dates, review periods, comments, response dates, outstanding information, and anticipated approval dates. Pre-application meetings are requested where they can clarify agency expectations and reduce avoidable review cycles. »Ability to meet deadlines across concurrent task orders. Ross monitors workload and personnel availability throughout the contract. Melissa provides contract-level resource oversight, Robert manages task-order staffing, and Raymond schedules technical reviews ahead of submission deadlines. When necessary, qualified staff are supplemented or reassigned to maintain progress while preserving continuity of the key personnel identified in this proposal, allowing Ross to meet deadlines on several simultaneous assignments. »Managing schedule risk. Potential schedule risks: regulatory-review delays, incomplete records, utility conflicts, unforeseen field conditions, material availability, contractor coordination, weather, public-access limitations, or changes in scope, are communicated when identified, not held until the next submittal. Ross’s notice describes the issue, the affected milestone, the anticipated impact, available mitigation, the City decisions required, and a recommended recovery plan such as resequencing activities, adding resources, or advancing unaffected work while protecting the City’s budget and objectives. »Scheduling challenge and how Ross solved it – City of City of North Miami Engineering Design Services Biscayne Park Water Main Extension – Robert J. Ross, PE, LEED AP was the Engineer of Record for the water main extension task work order to extend the existing 6” water main along NE 9th Ave. The project included coordination with the Public Works Director Mr. Wisler Pierre-Louis to discuss the scope of work and Ross’s role on the project. Approximately 1,000 linear feet of 6” PVC water main extension and two new fire hydrants were designed along NE 9th Ave and connected into the existing 6” on NE 10th Ave. Plans and profiles were designed for the water main extension showing all of the conflicts in the roadway and swale areas. Permits were obtained for this project through City of North Miami, Miami Dade County Health Department, and Miami Dade Fire Department. The construction was inspected, and certification was obtained through the Health Department. There were no project delays – the project started on time and was completed with no amendments, charge orders and the project was not stopped for any reason. Miami-Dade County Parks & Recreation Dept. - Biscayne Park Watermain Extension City of North Miami, FL Reference City of North Miami Wisler Pierre-Louis, P.E., LEED AP – Public Works Director pwisler@northmiamifl.gov 305-895-9833 Contract Amount # Key Project Features Civil Engineering Water Resources Engineering Completion Engineering Services: Start: 2013 Completed: 2014 60 City of Sunny Isles Beach | RFQ 26-07-01 Continuing Professional Architectural and Engineering | General Civil Engineer North Miami, Biscayne Park Water Main Extension. The scheduling challenge on this assignment was multi-agency approval: design, permitting, construction inspection, and certification all had to clear the City, the Miami-Dade County Health Department, and the Miami-Dade Fire Department, and if those reviews had run in sequence they would have pushed the project well past its target completion. Ross addressed the risk by identifying conflicts early, producing complete plan-and- profile documents that minimized agency comment cycles, coordinating the three agency approvals on a deliberately managed track, and remaining engaged through construction. The project began and was completed on schedule with no project delays, contract amendments, change orders, or work stoppages, demonstrating how early conflict identification and coordinated permitting keep a multi-agency assignment on time. 4.5.3 QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE Quality control occurs throughout each assignment rather than only before final submission, and it is led independently. Raymond Rammo, PE, who is not responsible for producing the deliverables he reviews, sets the level of review appropriate to each task order based on its scope, complexity, and risk. »Aligning quality expectations up front. At kickoff, Ross confirms the City’s explicit requirements (codes, standards, and contract deliverables) and its implicit expectations for the assignment, so that the delivered product meets both the professional standard of care and what the City actually expects. The most common source of client dissatisfaction is a gap between the two, and Ross closes it at the outset. »Quality during design (process quality). Ross’s reviews confirm the design criteria, source information, survey data, calculations, modeling, plan-to-calculation consistency, utility coordination, permit requirements, interdisciplinary coordination, constructability, maintenance considerations, quantities, cost estimates, specifications, and bid items. At the 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% milestones, Ross maintains a comment-resolution log identifying each comment, the responsible team member, the required action, the disposition, and verification of closure. Robert ensures comments are incorporated; Raymond confirms that significant technical and interdisciplinary matters are resolved before documents go to the City. »Quality during construction (outcome quality). Quality control continues through submittal and RFI review, documentation of field observations, evaluation of proposed changes, coordination of design clarifications, punch-list preparation, and review of record drawings. »What the reviews are designed to protect. In infrastructure work the leading trigger of claims, agency comments, and avoidable change orders is errors and omissions. Ross’ checking process is aimed squarely at preventing them and at delivering plans that are biddable and buildable, constructible, durable, operable, maintainable, accessible, and economical over their life cycle with the objective, being measurable attributes by which the quality of an engineering deliverable is judged. This continuous process reduces omissions, inconsistent documents, agency comments, field conflicts, redesign, and change orders, which protects the City’s schedule and budget as directly as it protects 61 City of Sunny Isles Beach | RFQ 26-07-01 Continuing Professional Architectural and Engineering | General Civil Engineer technical quality. 4.6 COMMUNICATION AND PROJECT DOCUMENTATION Robert Ross serves as the City’s primary project-level contact, providing one coordinated source of information. Technical personnel participate in meetings and correspondence when their specialized input is required, but project direction, decisions, and commitments are coordinated through Robert. Communication is scaled to the assignment and may include kickoff meetings, regular progress meetings, written status reports, meeting minutes, action-item logs, design-decision records, permit logs, utility-coordination records, review-comment logs, RFI and submittal logs, field reports, schedule updates, and cost-estimate updates. Ross documents significant decisions, responsible parties, required actions, and due dates, and distributes meeting minutes promptly so misunderstandings are corrected before they affect the work. Matters requiring City direction are clearly identified rather than allowed to remain unresolved. The project file maintains the information necessary to demonstrate the history and current status of each assignment, including correspondence, field observations, agency comments, calculations, plans, permit documentation, construction records, and closeout materials, with dedicated documentation support for meeting notes, permit tracking, submittals, RFI logs, field reports, and closeout records. 4.7 COMPLAINT AND ISSUE RESOLUTION Ross recognizes that complaints may originate from City staff, residents, businesses, property owners, contractors, utilities, permitting agencies, or other stakeholders, and may involve drainage, traffic, access, noise, construction operations, utility service, safety, schedule, communication, property impacts, or the quality of consultant services. Ross handles every complaint through the same accountable procedure and always brings it to the attention of the City’s Project Manager. »Receipt and documentation. Any complaint received by a Ross team member is forwarded promptly to Robert and entered into an issue log recording the date, complainant, project location, nature of the concern, potential safety or service implications, assigned investigator, required response, status, and final disposition. »Notification to the City. Robert brings the matter to the City’s Project Manager. Conditions involving public safety, flooding, utility interruption, traffic hazards, potential property damage, regulatory noncompliance, or significant public impact are communicated immediately by telephone or another agreed emergency method, followed by written documentation. Routine concerns are reported promptly, generally within one business day. »Investigation. Ross reviews the relevant plans, calculations, permits, field records, photographs, inspection reports, contractor documentation, correspondence, and site conditions, conducting a field visit when needed to determine the cause and extent of the issue. »Recommended action. Ross provides the City’s Project Manager with its findings, the apparent cause, any immediate measures already taken, available corrective actions, cost or schedule implications, responsible parties, and recommended follow-up. Ross does not commit the City to additional cost, time, liability, or contractual changes without authorization. Resolution and closeout. Following City direction, Ross coordinates the approved action, documents its completion, updates the issue log, and confirms closure with the City’s Project Manager. Recurring concerns are reviewed for trends, and lessons learned are incorporated into subsequent design, communication, or construction procedures. This ensures complaints are documented, investigated, communicated to the City, and resolved through an accountable procedure rather than handled informally or without follow- 62 City of Sunny Isles Beach | RFQ 26-07-01 Continuing Professional Architectural and Engineering | General Civil Engineer through. 4.8 COMMITMENT TO THE CITY Ross Engineering will provide the City with responsive leadership, disciplined project management, practical engineering judgment, proactive schedule and cost control, and documented quality review from task authorization through final closeout. Our direct experience on the City’s NE 172nd Street Roadway and Drainage Improvements project gives Ross familiarity with Sunny Isles Beach’s coastal drainage conditions, constrained roadway environment, existing drainage wells, pump-system needs, utility coordination, permitting requirements, and construction-phase expectations, allowing Ross to mobilize efficiently while still evaluating each new assignment on its own conditions. Ross’s goal is to deliver civil engineering services that are technically sound, permittable, constructible, maintainable, cost-conscious, clearly documented, and completed within the schedule and budget established with the City. Through Melissa’s executive oversight, Robert’s day-to-day project management, Raymond’s independent technical and QA/QC leadership, and the support of Ross’s engineering and specialty-consultant team, the City will receive one accountable source for the successful delivery of each assignment. 63 5.
