Sunny Isles Beach, FL 33160
RE: RFQ #26-07-01 — Continuing Professional Architectural and Engineering Consulting Services (CCNA) |
Disciplines: General Civil Engineers (No. 3) and Construction Engineering & Inspection (No. 8)
Dear Members of the Evaluation Committee:
The Engineering Company, LLC (TEC) is pleased to submit its qualifications to serve the City of Sunny Isles Beach as a
continuing services consultant in two disciplines: General Civil Engineers and Construction Engineering and Inspection
(CEI). These two categories are the core of TEC's daily practice — the design, permitting, construction management,
and field inspection of municipal roadway, drainage, stormwater, water, and wastewater infrastructure across South
Florida's coastal communities.
TEC is a neighbor, not a visitor. Our headquarters at 2875 NE 191st Street in Aventura is less than five minutes from
Sunny Isles Beach City Hall. Our engineers and inspectors live and work in this corridor, understand the realities of a
built-out barrier-island city — tidal drainage, saltwater exposure, high groundwater, constrained staging on the Collins
Avenue corridor — and can be on site the same day a Work Order is issued.
We bring the City a rare combination: a Florida-certified Minority Business Enterprise that holds Miami-Dade County
Technical Certifications in the precise categories this contract requires — including 16.00 General Civil Engineering
and 17.00 Engineering Construction Management — with a leadership team that directed one of Miami-Dade Water
and Sewer Department's largest capital programs ($215M / 113 pump stations) and today serves as prime continuing
consultant to the Cities of North Miami Beach and North Miami and the Town of Bay Harbor Islands. Since the firm's
inception, every TEC project has been delivered on or under budget.
TEC acknowledges receipt of Addenda Nos. 1 through 9, and this submittal conforms to the RFQ as amended,
including the Sample CCNA Agreement issued with Addendum No. 9. TEC will self-perform well in excess of the
required thirty percent (30%) of the Work, supported by long-standing sub-consultants for surveying and mapping
and for geotechnical engineering — with MEP and structural engineering performed in-house under TEC's Miami-
Dade County Technical Certifications (11.00 Structural, 12.00 Mechanical, and 13.00 Electrical). We take no
exceptions to the City's terms.
Omar Herrera, PE, Principal, is authorized to bind the firm and will serve as your single point of accountability. We
welcome the opportunity to put our team to work for Sunny Isles Beach.
Respectfully submitted,
Omar Herrera, PE — Principal / Managing Member

Under penalties of perjury, I certify that:
1. The number shown on this form is my correct taxpayer identification number (or I am waiting for a number to be issued to me); and
2. I am not subject to backup withholding because (a) I am exempt from backup withholding, or (b) I have not been notified by the Internal Revenue

Future developments. For the latest information about developments
related to Form W-9 and its instructions, such as legislation enacted

What’s New
Line 3a has been modified to clarify how a disregarded entity completes
this line. An LLC that is a disregarded entity should check the
appropriate box for the tax classification of its owner. Otherwise, it
should check the “LLC” box and enter its appropriate tax classification.
New line 3b has been added to this form. A flow-through entity is
required to complete this line to indicate that it has direct or indirect
foreign partners, owners, or beneficiaries when it provides the Form W-9
to another flow-through entity in which it has an ownership interest. This
change is intended to provide a flow-through entity with information
regarding the status of its indirect foreign partners, owners, or
beneficiaries, so that it can satisfy any applicable reporting
requirements. For example, a partnership that has any indirect foreign
partners may be required to complete Schedules K-2 and K-3. See the
Partnership Instructions for Schedules K-2 and K-3 (Form 1065).
Purpose of Form
An individual or entity (Form W-9 requester) who is required to file an
information return with the IRS is giving you this form because they

Approval Date: January 31, 2025 Small Business Enterprise - Architectural & Engineering (SBE-A&E) Expiration Date: January 31, 2028
Dear Omar Herrera,
Miami-Dade County Office of Small Business Development (SBD), has completed the review of your application and
attachments submitted for certification. Your firm is officially certified as a Miami-Dade County Small Business
Enterprise. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) programs are governed by Sections 2-8.1.1.1.1; 2-8.1.1.1.2; 2-10.4.01;
10-33.02 of Miami-Dade County’s Codes. This Small Business Enterprise - Architectural & Engineering (SBE-A&E)
certification is valid for three (3) years. However, to validate continuing eligibility, SBD may conduct random audit(s)
within the three (3) year certification period. Failure to provide required documentation for a random audit will
initiate the decertification process.
At the time of expiration, your firm will submit a Re-certification Application at least one hundred and eighty (180) days,
but not less than, ninety (90) days, prior to the end of the three (3) year certification term via the County’s web-based
system, Business Management Workforce System (BMWS). This will ensure sufficient time for process by SBD. Failure
to provide the re-certification application and required supporting documentation will initiate the decertification
process.
If at any time there is a material or business structure change in the firm including, but not limited to, ownership, officers,
director, scope of work being performed, daily operations, affiliations(s) with other businesses or the physical location of
the firm, you must notify this office within thirty (30) calendar days of the effective date of the change(s) via the BMWS.
Notification should include supporting documentation. You will receive timely instructions from this office as to how you
should proceed, if necessary. Failure to notify SBD of any changes may result in immediate action to decertify the
firm.
This letter will be the only approval notification issued for the duration of your firm’s three-year certification. If the firm
attains graduation or becomes ineligible during the three-year certification period, you will be properly notified following
an administrative process that your firm’s certification has been removed pursuant to the code. Your firm’s name and tier
level will be listed in the directory for all SBE certified firms, which can be accessed through Miami-Dade County’s SBD
website: https://www.miamidade.gov/global/business/smallbusiness/home.page. The categories as listed below affords
you the opportunity to bid and participate on contracts with Small Business Enterprise measures.

SECTION 2 — QUALIFICATIONS
Why TEC Is Best Qualified to Serve Sunny Isles Beach
TEC is a South Florida–based engineering firm specializing in project management, construction management,
engineering design, and inspection of civil infrastructure. The firm has delivered more than 100 civil infrastructure
projects for municipal, county, state, tribal, and federal clients — planning, designing, permitting, and supervising the
construction of water and wastewater networks, stormwater systems, pump stations, drainage structures, roadways,
roundabouts, traffic-calming measures, and streetlight networks.
Every one of those projects was built in the same operating environment the City manages daily: a coastal, built-out
community with tidal drainage constraints, saltwater exposure, high groundwater, limited staging, and heavy
traffic. The Collins Avenue corridor, the City's finger streets, and its beachfront outfalls present exactly the conditions
TEC's engineers and inspectors resolve on the Cities of North Miami Beach and North Miami systems, on SFWMD's
coastal resiliency pump stations (S-27 / S-29), and on MDWASD's pump station and force-main network. TEC does not
need to learn the City's regulators, standards, or geology — the firm works within them every week.
•Prime municipal continuing consultant, today. TEC currently serves as prime Engineering & PM consultant to the
City of North Miami Beach Public Works Department (an approximately $26M capital program), recently
completed a prime Owner's Engineer engagement for the City of North Miami spanning 20+ concurrent CIP
projects, and serves the Town of Bay Harbor Islands as prime capital-program consultant.
•The exact Miami-Dade credentials for this contract. TEC holds County Technical Certifications 16.00 (General Civil
Engineering) and 17.00 (Engineering Construction Management) — plus ten more categories spanning
water/sewer, pumping facilities, structural, mechanical, and electrical (table below), enabling MEP and structural
work to be performed in-house.
•Program-scale leadership. TEC's Principal directed MDWASD's $215M Pump Station Improvement Program —
113 pump stations, 34 force mains, and 80 basin I&I contracts across 150 task orders — the same task-order
delivery model this continuing contract uses.
•Federal-grade quality systems. TEC provides construction QA on USACE's Everglades Agricultural Area Reservoir
($3B+) and provided CM/inspection on SFWMD's C-43 Reservoir ($700M+), bringing federal-grade documentation
discipline to every municipal assignment.
•On or under budget — every time. Since the firm's inception, every TEC project has been delivered on or under
budget. The City can verify this directly with the references in Section 5 and the client contacts listed on every
Project Description Form.
•Certified Minority Business Enterprise. TEC is a Florida State–certified MBE (see F.S. 287.055(2)(d) and Evaluation
Criterion 6), as well as a certified DBE, SFWMD SBE, Miami-Dade SBE-A&E/SBE-G&S, and Broward CBE/SBE.

Project Manager & Principal Time Allocation
Omar Herrera, PE serves as Principal-in-Charge and Contract Manager, committing no less than 40% of his time to this
contract's Work Orders, with direct engagement on every scope, fee, and schedule negotiation and senior review of
every deliverable. Guillermo Delgado, CGC, PMP manages construction-phase Work Orders day to day. Response
commitments: acknowledgment of any City request within 24 hours; attendance at any City meeting on 24 hours'
notice or less; and same-day site presence when field conditions require it — our office is less than five minutes away.
No key person will be substituted without the City's prior written approval. All personnel assigned to perform Services
with access to City buildings, facilities, property, or parks will have undergone and passed FDLE and FCIC/NCIC
criminal background checks, per Addendum No. 6 (A6).
Current Workload & Capacity to Serve
TEC currently serves an active portfolio of municipal continuing-services contracts and agency programs across
Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Hendry, and Collier Counties — spanning owner-representative engineering,
capital program management, and construction engineering and inspection for cities, a tribal government, the South
Florida Water Management District, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. That portfolio is intentionally staffed in
tiers: a base team assigned to standing engagements, and senior surge capacity that activates for peak inspection
coverage and new task orders.
TEC has reserved capacity within its Aventura headquarters staff — including the Principal, senior designers, and
CTQP-certified inspectors identified above — to fully deliver the Work Orders anticipated under this contract.
Because the personnel proposed here are located less than five minutes from City offices, the City gains a bench
that can absorb urgent assignments without mobilization delay. TEC's workload posture is reviewed weekly by the
Principal, and the firm does not pursue work it cannot staff to its own quality standard — a discipline reflected in the
firm's record of delivering every project on or under budget since inception.
Sub-Consultants (RFQ §2.11; Addendum No. 2)
TEC will self-perform well in excess of the required thirty percent (30%) of the Work — including all project
management, civil design, structural and MEP engineering, permitting, and CEI. Two specialty sub-consultants
complete the team; each is identified by name and address per RFQ Section 5.0(3):

SECTION 4 — APPROACH / METHODOLOGY
This section presents TEC's approach to project management — cost control, scheduling, and quality assurance /
quality control (Evaluation Criterion 3) — and the delivery methodology TEC applies to General Civil and CEI Work
Orders, including the firm's communication and complaint-handling protocols required by RFQ Section 5.0(4).
The Work-Order Lifecycle (RFQ §3.4 Phases)
TEC delivers continuing-services work through a disciplined, repeatable task-order process refined on 150 MDWASD
task orders and TEC's current municipal continuing contracts:
•1 — Scoping & Fee. Within 48 hours of a City request, TEC walks the site, confirms objectives with the City Project
Manager, and returns a written scope, level-of-effort fee (within the contract's not-to-exceed rates), deliverables
list, and schedule.
•2 — Study / Preliminary Phase. Data collection, survey and geotechnical coordination, alternatives analysis, basis-
of-design memoranda, and preliminary OPCC — with up to ten (10) copies of any report furnished per RFQ §3.4.
•3 — Design Phase. 30/60/90/100% milestone submittals in the latest version of AutoCAD; interdisciplinary QA/QC
and constructability review at each gate; OPCC update at each gate; permit applications prepared and negotiated
(DERM/RER, MDWASD, FDEP, SFWMD, FDOT D6, City Building).
•4 — Bidding Assistance. Bid documents and technical specifications, pre-bid conference support, addenda, bid
tabulation and responsiveness review, and a written award recommendation.
•5 — Construction / CEI & Closeout. Contract administration, RPR inspection, materials testing verification, pay-
application and schedule review, substantial/final inspections, as-built verification, and a complete closeout
record — the City's defense file for the life of the asset.
Cost Control
Estimates that hold. TEC builds quantity-based opinions of probable construction cost with current South Florida unit
pricing and documented basis-of-estimate notes — prepared by a dedicated estimator (Zane Hoppes) and reconciled
at the 30/60/90/100% gates so scope growth is caught on paper, never in the field. During construction, TEC
independently verifies pay-application quantities, maintains a change-order log with independent cost checks, and
manages contingency drawdown transparently.
Track record. Since the firm's inception, every TEC project has been delivered on or under budget. The City can
verify this directly with the references listed in Section 5 and with the client contacts identified on each Project
Description Form.
Value engineering. On the Seminole Tribe of Florida roundabout program, TEC's redesign and re-packaging saved
$58,000 and increased contractor bid participation from 50% to 75% — the practical measure of documents that are
both economical and biddable.
Scheduling
TEC develops and maintains critical-path (Primavera P6) schedules for design and construction phases, ties every task
order to milestone dates agreed with the City at NTP, and manages contractor schedules through monthly CPM
reviews and two-week look-aheads. Slippage triggers a written recovery plan — resequencing, added crews, or scope
adjustment — presented to the City with cost/schedule trade-offs before float is consumed. TEC establishes realistic,
mutually agreed durations at every Notice to Proceed and manages to them daily — the discipline that protects both
parties under the contract's liquidated-damages provision (Addendum No. 8). Because TEC's office is minutes away,
schedule risk is confronted at the site, the day it appears.
The Engineering Company, LLC | RFQ #26-07-01 — Continuing Professional A/E Consulting Services (CCNA)
Page 43 of 96
Quality Assurance / Quality Control
Design QA/QC. Every deliverable receives an independent senior review by a professional not on the production
team, a discipline-specific checklist review, and an interdisciplinary conflict check before it carries the Engineer's seal.
Comments are logged and closed in writing.
Construction QA — Three-Phase Control. For each definable feature of work (drainage structure, water main,
subgrade, base, asphalt, pump station element), TEC applies the Three-Phase Control methodology refined on its
USACE and SFWMD programs: a Preparatory phase (submittals, materials, crew qualifications, testing plan,
acceptance criteria documented before work starts); an Initial phase (first production work inspected and the
workmanship standard set); and a Follow-Up phase (continuous or daily inspection, witnessed testing at specified
frequencies, and every deficiency tracked to closure before cover-up). Materials sampling and testing are verified
against specification frequencies with NV5 laboratories, and results are filed in the daily record.
Communication & Complaint-Handling Protocols (RFQ §5.0(4))
•Single point of accountability. Omar Herrera, PE is the City's contract-level contact; each Work Order names one
TEC task manager. Any City request is acknowledged within 24 hours with an action plan.
•Meeting cadence & reporting. Kickoff at every NTP; progress meetings at the City's preferred frequency with
minutes issued within 24 hours; a monthly one-page status report per active Work Order (scope, schedule,
budget, issues, next actions).
•Resident and stakeholder complaints. Every complaint received in the field is logged the same day (complainant,
location, issue, photos), assigned an owner, and resolved or escalated with a written response; the log is reported
to the City Project Manager weekly and closed items are verified in the field. On construction projects, TEC posts
contact signage so residents reach TEC — not a voicemail.
•Transparent records. Daily reports, photo logs, RFI/submittal registers, and testing results maintained in e-Builder
/ Autodesk Construction Cloud with City read access — no information asymmetry between consultant and client.
Discipline Approach — General Civil Engineering (No. 3)
Sunny Isles Beach's civil work is coastal work: tidally influenced outfalls, king-tide flooding, high groundwater,
saltwater exposure, and constrained staging on the Collins Avenue corridor. TEC's approach starts with drainage
hydraulics that respect tailwater reality — including the RFQ's identified conversion of gravity stormwater wells to
pressurized wells with pumps, where TEC brings direct pump-assisted-drainage experience from SFWMD's S-27/S-29
coastal resiliency stations and municipal exfiltration/outfall programs. Water and sewer assignments follow MDWASD
standards TEC's Principal helped administer; NPDES/SWPPP compliance is led by an FDEP-qualified stormwater
inspector; roadway and streetscape designs are produced in Civil 3D with Vehicle Tracking turning analyses and MOT
plans suited to an arterial beachfront corridor; and structural and MEP components are engineered in-house under
TEC's Miami-Dade Technical Certifications 11.00, 12.00, and 13.00. Permitting strategy is mapped at the scoping walk
— DERM/RER, MDWASD, FDEP, SFWMD, FDOT D6 — so review cycles run in parallel, not in series.
Discipline Approach — Construction Engineering & Inspection (No. 8)
TEC staffs CEI with CTQP-certified inspectors under the responsible charge of a Florida PE experienced in construction
engineering inspection (RFQ §3.2(8)). Coverage is sized to the contractor's actual crews — full-time RPR presence for
utility, drainage, and roadway operations; specialty inspection for structural, building, plumbing, mechanical,
electrical, and roofing elements per the Florida Building Code; and surge inspectors for concurrent operations. The
inspection record — daily reports with photographs, quantities, labor/equipment, testing results, MOT observations,
and safety notes — is contemporaneous and defensible, because it is the document set the City will rely on at pay
application, at claim, and at warranty. Substantial and final inspections produce a punch list tracked to zero, verified
as-builts, and a closeout package organized for the City's records.
The Engineering Company, LLC | RFQ #26-07-01 — Continuing Professional A/E Consulting Services (CCNA)
Page 44 of 96
Grant Writing & Program Support (RFQ §3.2.1)
TEC prepares and administers funding pursuits alongside its engineering work: $1.5M in EPA Community Project
Funding packages for the City of North Miami Beach; FEMA Public Assistance delivery for Collier County's Hurricane
Ian recovery (200+ Project Worksheets); and familiarity with FDEP SRF and state appropriation processes. For Sunny
Isles Beach, every eligible capital Work Order will include a funding-opportunity screen at the study phase — at no
added ceremony, as part of how TEC scopes.
Technology
AutoCAD Civil 3D and Vehicle Tracking for design; ArcGIS Pro for computerized mapping, utility records, and live CIP
dashboards (deployed for the Town of Bay Harbor Islands); RISA/ETABS/SAP/SAFE for structural components;
Primavera P6 for CPM scheduling; and e-Builder / Autodesk Construction Cloud for daily reporting, RFI/submittal
management, and document control with City visibility. Deliverables conform to RFQ §3.4 — reports in up to ten
copies as requested, and drawings in the latest version of AutoCAD.

Project Overview
As the City of North Miami's Owner's Engineer, TEC combined design management, CEI, permitting, and program controls
across more than 20 active capital projects. The signature assignment was the Banyan Pump Station Rehabilitation: a
duplex wet-well station damaged by vehicle impact and placed under a Miami-Dade DERM moratorium. TEC performed
field survey and hydraulic modeling, prepared a complete permit set, secured DERM approval for flood-resilient retrofits —
including a watertight, traffic-rated access hatch — and then carried the project through procurement assistance and
construction QA/QC.
TEC also delivered full CEI on the NE 126th Street Parking Improvements (ten new on-street stalls) with daily photo reports,
pay-requisition review, submittal tracking, meetings, and walkthroughs — completed on time and on budget. Program-
management services included weekly CIP tracker updates, site inspections, QA/QC review of scopes, plans, permits, and
pay applications, and meeting minutes for progress, pre-bid, and construction meetings. TEC additionally managed a
citywide streetlight assessment-and-repair program (logging and driving 100+ FPL/County repair tickets through a GIS
tracker) and led an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) assessment producing compliance matrices and 10-year life-
cycle cost models.
Scope of TEC Services
•Owner's-representative oversight of 20+ concurrent CIP projects — design management, permitting, procurement support,
and construction QA/QC
•Banyan Pump Station: survey, hydraulic modeling, complete permit set, DERM moratorium resolution, flood-resilient retrofit
design, and construction-phase QA
•Full CEI on roadway/parking construction: daily photo reports, pay-requisition review, submittal tracking, and closeout
•Weekly CIP tracker, QA/QC review of scopes, plans, permits, and pay applications; progress/pre-bid/construction meeting
minutes
•Citywide streetlight assessment and repair management with GIS-based FPL/County ticket tracking
•AMI assessment: compliance matrices and 10-year life-cycle cost models for phased implementation
Relevance to the City of Sunny Isles Beach (Civil No. 3 / CEI No. 8)
•Designated-representative services. Exactly the City's-engineer staff-extension role contemplated by the RFQ's Civil scope —
including plan review, permitting strategy, and pay-application verification.
•Pump-station engineering + CEI. Wet-well rehabilitation from DERM moratorium through construction — directly relevant to
the City's stormwater pump conversions and utility assets.

Project Overview
The Town of Bay Harbor Islands — a barrier-island municipality of the same coastal character as Sunny Isles Beach —
engaged TEC as its prime consultant for capital-program engineering support, delivered through two combined
authorizations totaling approximately $100,000 ($49,900 and $49,880 not-to-exceed). Under the first authorization
(December 2025), TEC deployed a GIS-powered, live CIP Dashboard on the Esri platform with secure role-based access;
engaged all ten Town department directors to compile and prioritize a 30-year Capital Improvement Program; and prepared
the Town Council's January 2026 retreat presentation summarizing projects by department, stage, location, and cost band.
Under the second authorization (February 2026), TEC is meeting with the Town's contractors and consulting engineers to
gather project-level data — budgets, annual expenditures, funding sources, and schedules — populating the dashboard
using five standardized project phases (Planning, Design Procurement, Design, Construction Procurement, Construction),
and configuring a resident-facing public CIP portal for the Town's website, giving residents a clear, simplified view of every
capital project.
Scope of TEC Services

Project Overview
TEC was engaged to inspect and manage CCTV investigations of the Eastern Shores drainage system along NE 164th Street
between 29th and 35th Avenues — a tidally influenced waterfront residential neighborhood — performing daily field
observation of the CCTV work and delivering a comprehensive findings-and-recommendations report. The PACP-coded
review documented widespread deterioration of legacy corrugated metal pipe, including corrosion, wall loss, and collapsed
segments, plus obstructions limiting access.
TEC recommended full segment replacements to modern pipe materials, sediment and root removal, post-repair CCTV
verification, and backflow-prevention devices at the outfalls. Following report delivery, TEC reviewed repair bids and is now
providing construction management and inspection for the targeted rehabilitation — coordinating the contractor,
validating quantities and pay applications, tracking MOT and restoration in tight residential corridors and easements, and
maintaining an audit-ready documentation trail of daily reports, photo logs, and test/deficiency tracking.
Scope of TEC Services
•Management and daily field observation of PACP-coded CCTV condition assessment
•Defect classification, hydraulic and structural prioritization, and a findings-and-recommendations report
•Rehabilitation program design: CMP-to-modern-pipe replacement, sediment/root removal, and outfall backflow prevention
•Bid review and award support; construction management and CEI of the rehabilitation work
•Quantity and pay-application validation; MOT and restoration tracking in residential corridors and easements
•Audit-ready documentation: daily reports, photo logs, and test/deficiency tracking to closure
Relevance to the City of Sunny Isles Beach (Civil No. 3 / CEI No. 8)
•Sunny Isles' drainage reality. Tidally influenced outfalls, aging CMP, and residential-corridor constraints mirror the City's
finger-street drainage systems along the Intracoastal.
•Assess-then-fix method. Condition data driving a fundable, prioritized rehabilitation program — the RFQ's leak-detection,
records, and GIS scope in practice.
•Civil + CEI on one asset. The same firm that assessed and designed the fix is inspecting its construction — continuity the City
receives on every Work Order.
Results
TEC's CCTV-based condition assessment gave the City a clear, prioritized rehabilitation plan for deteriorated CMP drainage
segments, outfalls, and tidal interfaces — now carried into construction management and CEI, where TEC oversees pipe
replacement (to RCP/HDPE), flap-gate and check-valve installations, and MOT/restoration in tight residential corridors,
giving the City both an audit-ready record and a practical pathway to reduced flooding risk along NE 164th Street.

Project Overview
TEC partnered with the City of North Miami Beach on two complementary corridor-safety initiatives: development of a
Traffic Calming Manual (TCM) and a comprehensive streetlight assessment, repair, and management program. For the TCM,
TEC worked with the Public Works Department to review and adapt Miami-Dade County specifications to the City's mobility
needs through iterative drafts with City representatives and traffic-safety experts, and is assisting the City in securing official
County approval and an intergovernmental agreement empowering North Miami Beach to perform traffic-engineering
functions under the newly adopted manual.
For the streetlight program, TEC evaluated 266 streetlights citywide, distinguishing ownership and maintenance
responsibility among FPL, Miami-Dade County, and AT&T. Through weekly FPL coordination meetings, TEC prioritized
repairs, shared ticket numbers, and verified completed work on-site — building a Streetlight Repair Tracker to document
outages and progress, and introducing standard operating procedures that help residents report outages efficiently.
Scope of TEC Services
•Traffic Calming Manual development adapted from Miami-Dade County standards; County approval and interlocal-agreement
support
•Citywide assessment of 266 streetlights with ownership/maintenance determination (FPL / County / AT&T)
•Weekly FPL coordination, repair prioritization, ticket management, and on-site verification of completed work
•GIS-based Streetlight Repair Tracker and resident-reporting standard operating procedures
•Ongoing management of new repair requests and resident communication
Relevance to the City of Sunny Isles Beach (Civil No. 3 / CEI No. 8)
•Street engineering & ordinance support. The RFQ's street/traffic engineering and standards-drafting scope, demonstrated —
TEC also holds Miami-Dade Technical Certification 3.06 (Traffic Calming).
•Utility-agency management. FPL and County coordination discipline that transfers directly to the City's corridor, lighting, and
undergrounding assignments.
•Resident-facing delivery. Complaint intake, tracking, and closure — the communication protocol Section 4 commits to the
City.
Results
TEC produced a Traffic Calming Manual that positions North Miami Beach to secure County approval and perform its own
traffic engineering under an intergovernmental agreement, while the streetlight program has driven repair of 160 FPL-
managed and 106 County-managed lights, established a GIS repair tracker and SOPs, and measurably reduced outages and
response times — improving corridor safety, reliability, and resident experience.

PROJECT 6 — Project Management Services for Transportation Projects
Client Seminole Tribe of Florida TEC Role Prime Consultant
Location Hollywood / Big Cypress, FL Performance 2023 – 2024
Construction Cost $3 Million (est.)TEC Fee $250,000
Reference Emran Rahaman, Project Manager Phone / Email (954) 894-1060 x10923
Project Overview
The Seminole Tribe of Florida retained TEC as its on-call engineering, project management, and construction-inspection lead
for tribal-wide transportation improvements. Task orders spanned roundabout design, roadway resurfacing, drainage
upgrades, driveway rehabilitation, street lighting, traffic signs, and emergency embankment repairs — all delivered under
FDOT standards and Tribal regulations, with permit approvals coordinated across FDOT, County, and Tribal Environmental
offices.
Two outcomes define the engagement. When a storm washed out a roadway embankment, TEC fast-tracked a design–bid–
build repair completed in five weeks instead of the typical eight to twelve — saving approximately $50,000 by optimizing
rip-rap and geofabric pinning details. And on the roundabout program, TEC's resized geometry improved traffic flow,
eliminated excess MOT costs, and produced $58,000 in savings while increasing contractor bid participation from 50% to
75%.
Scope of TEC Services
•Engineering and permitting: plans, hydraulic calculations, BMPs, and permit packages (FDOT, County, Tribal Environmental)
•Construction management and CEI: daily field reports with photos, pay-requisition review, submittal tracking, QA/QC testing,
and MOT oversight
•Emergency embankment washout repair: fast-tracked design–bid–build delivered in 5 weeks
•Roundabout optimization: resized geometry, improved flow, reduced MOT — $58,000 saved; bid participation up from 50%
to 75%
•Program controls: erosion-control BMP manual, FDOT-based traffic-calming guide, weekly CIP dashboards, and stakeholder
briefings
Relevance to the City of Sunny Isles Beach (Civil No. 3 / CEI No. 8)
•Cost control, proven. The Section 4 value-engineering example — documents that were both economical and biddable, with
measurable savings on two task orders.
•Emergency responsiveness. A five-week storm-damage repair is the operating tempo a hurricane-exposed coastal city needs
from its continuing consultant.
•Roadway breadth. The full menu of corridor task-order types this contract will generate — resurfacing, lighting, signage,
drainage, and traffic calming.
•MQR #2 prime contract. One of the five prime government contracts satisfying MQR #2 (see the Compliance Summary).
Results
TEC's PM/CEI role delivered tangible performance gains across tribal transportation projects: an emergency embankment
repair completed in 5 weeks instead of 8–12 (saving approximately $50,000), an optimized roundabout that cut MOT costs
and lifted bid participation from 50% to 75% (saving $58,000), and standardized tools — an erosion-control BMP manual, a
traffic-calming guide, and weekly CIP dashboards — that improved coordination, cost control, and safety outcomes across
multiple reservations.

Project Overview
As part of its Sea Level Rise and Flood Resiliency Plan, the South Florida Water Management District identified the C-7 and
C-9 watersheds as priority basins requiring enhanced flood protection. The S-27 structure (C-7 Canal, City of Miami) and S-
29 structure (C-9 Canal, City of North Miami Beach) are receiving new forward-flow pump stations and structure
rehabilitation to address projected overtopping under future sea-level-rise conditions, advancing from Intermediate Design
through Corrected Final / Ready-to-Advertise.
TEC provides site-civil design support, site-investigation coordination, utility design and coordination, and code/permitting
compliance for both sites. At S-27, the new station totals 1,500 cfs through three 500-cfs electric vertical-shaft axial-flow
pumps in a 3-bay District Type 3 configuration; TEC's scope includes site layout and grading, a new steel sheet-pile bulkhead
with concrete cap, paved access roads, staging areas, and the utility conflict-resolution matrix (including FPL overhead
distribution within the footprint). At S-29, the 2,500-cfs station uses five primary plus one redundant 500-cfs pumps in a 6-
bay configuration, with equivalent TEC site-civil support. The project is anticipated to be funded in part by a FEMA grant.
Scope of TEC Services
•Site layout and grading design for pump-station footprints, access roads, staging areas, and contractor work zones
•Steel sheet-pile bulkhead with concrete cap; canal-side improvements and resilient finished-floor elevations
•Utility conflict identification and resolution matrix, including FPL overhead distribution relocations
•Survey coordination (topographic and bathymetric) and geotechnical data review informing site-civil decisions
•Code and permitting compliance reviews; integration with structural, mechanical, electrical, and I&C disciplines through RTA
design
Relevance to the City of Sunny Isles Beach (Civil No. 3 / CEI No. 8)
•Pumped drainage for coastal flooding. The engineering behind the RFQ's gravity-well-to-pressurized-well conversion scope,
at regional scale — pump selection context, wet-well siting, and resiliency criteria.
•Sea-level-rise design criteria. Resilient finished-floor and freeboard practice applicable to every City stormwater asset,
seawall interface, and outfall.
•S-29 sits on the City's doorstep. The C-9 basin work directly serves the northeast Miami-Dade coastal communities that share
the City's flood exposure.
Results
TEC's site-civil design support is delivering coordinated, permit-ready packages for two critical SFWMD flood-control
facilities — ensuring layouts, grading, utility relocations, and access plans are fully integrated across disciplines, while the
utility conflict-resolution matrix and compliance reviews reduce construction-phase conflict and regulatory-delay risk as
both projects advance to Ready-to-Advertise on schedule.

Project Overview
Under the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP), the C-43 Reservoir is being constructed on a 10,500-acre
parcel with water depths of 15 to 25 feet — one of Florida's largest water-resource construction programs. TEC provides
construction management and inspection services: QA/QC of the contractor's work, construction sequencing and schedule
oversight, field density testing for compaction control, daily testing and construction reports, sheeting-and-bracing
installation oversight, and participation in substantial- and final-completion inspections including O&M closeout review.
TEC's inspectors work as part of the Quality Assurance team across simultaneous crews and disciplines — water, concrete,
earthwork, erosion and sedimentation control, mechanical installations, subgrade preparation, and materials testing —
including nighttime operations on the soil-bentonite cutoff wall, dam embankment, rip-rap, and soil-cement features. TEC
also developed Civil 3D models for proof-of-concept sections, profiles, and details covering the dams, 19 miles of
downstream drainage, the impermeable plug connecting the Phase 1 and Phase 2 soil-bentonite walls, dam embankment to
EL +47.0 (a contractual hold point) and EL +54, and 2.6 miles of pressure-relief system.
Scope of TEC Services
•QA/QC of contractor operations across multiple concurrent crews and disciplines, including nighttime work
•Field density testing and compaction control; witnessed materials testing at specification frequencies
•Daily testing reports and daily construction reports; deficiency tracking to closure
•Civil 3D proof-of-concept models for dams, downstream drainage, cutoff-wall plug, and pressure-relief system
•Substantial and final completion inspections; O&M manual and closeout documentation review
Relevance to the City of Sunny Isles Beach (Civil No. 3 / CEI No. 8)
•CEI at scale. Multi-crew, multi-front inspection discipline delivered by the same inspectors proposed for the City's Work
Orders.
•Documentation culture. The contemporaneous, defensible daily record — reports, testing, photos — the City will receive on
