A Jacksonville‐based small business, Degrove has worked extensively throughout the state of Florida, as well as many other locations throughout the southeastern United States. We serve a diverse group of repeat public and private‐sector clients, including the Jacksonville District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, many of the Water Management District, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, U.S. Forest Service and many other public and private entities. Through many years of service to public/government clients, Degrove has gained a reputation of consistently delivering reliable survey information within specified timelines – no matter the size, complexity, or unique challenges of the project. Currently serving in our third consecutive surveying contract with the Jacksonville District of the Corps of Engineers. As part of this contract we have completed 27 separate beach monitoring and construction support surveys exactly the same or very similar to the project covered by this solicitation. Degrove maintains a superior combination of expert professional and technical personnel, state‐of‐the‐art survey equipment, and specialized experience – all making our firm highly qualified and well prepared to serve City of Sunny Isles Beach. We possess the necessary specialty vehicles and vessels to navigate and survey in the environment that will be encountered for this project. Our team is led by four Florida‐licensed professional surveyor and mappers who possess over 100 years of combined experience. These surveyors offer the District a diverse level of expertise that is rarely found in a single survey firm. While headquartered in Florida, Degrove is also licensed to practice surveying and mapping throughout the southeastern coastal United States, including Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Louisiana. With in‐house capabilities and expertise in surveying, mapping, hydrographic surveying, subsurface utility location, and CADD/GIS, Team Organization As demonstrated in this statement of qualifications, Degrove Surveyors, Inc. is the prime respondent in this submittal, and will provide all of the necessary services. Degrove President, Gordon R. Niles, P.S.M., C.H., will serve as the Project Manager and will be the City’s daily source of contact for the life of the contract. Project Management – Lines of Responsibility and Methodology In the role of Project Manager, Degrove President Gordon R. Niles will review in detail all Statements of Work (SOW) that Degrove receives from the City and prepare a proposal. Upon being issued a Task Order, he will assume all responsibility for the completion or delegation of all aspects of the project (research, planning, adherence to timelines, allocation of resources, management of field crews, daily progress reviews and performance of the hydrographic survey). Further, it becomes his responsibility to ensure that Degrove’s protocol for project management methodology is adhered to. B.1 Introduction Degrove’s project management methodologies consist of five process groups and a control system. The process groups include: 1. Initiation 2. Planning 3. Execution 4. Monitoring and Controlling 5. Closing 1. Initiation The initiation process determines the nature and scope of the project. The key project controls needed are an understanding of project scope and making sure all necessary controls are incorporated into the project. Issues to be resolved at this stage include the following:  Scope and deliverables  Objectives  Resources needed  Milestone plan and timeline 2. Planning The planning process begins with the Project Manager appointing the specific project team and then delegating specific duties to each team member based on their unique skills, specialized expertise, and current workload. The Project Manager works with the project team to plan the execution stage. The planning stage includes the research of pertinent information, as well as the determination of field methods and the identification of potential project obstacles including things such as property access and inhospitable terrain. This stage allows for appropriate steps to be taken preemptively to avoid unexpected project setbacks (i.e. making sure all equipment is in good working order, contacting the proper authorities to arrange for safe and legal access to the beach, etc.). 3. Execution Execution consists of the processes used to complete the work defined in the project management plan, to accomplish the project's objectives. The execution process involves coordinating people and resources, as well as integrating and performing the activities of the project. 4. Monitoring and Controlling The monitoring and controlling process group involves managing and tracking the project, so potential problems can be identified quickly and corrective action can be taken. Monitoring and controlling includes:  Measuring the ongoing project activities (where are we, against where we should be?)  Monitoring the project variables (cost, effort, scope) against the project management plan and the project baseline (where should we be?)  Identifying corrective actions to address risks and issues (how can we get back on track?) B.1 Introduction  Managing changes and unforeseen challenges (what is the impact of this change or challenge?)  The monitoring and controlling process group ends once the project has achieved its goals and objectives as detailed in the scope of services.  The status of all projects will be reported to the Corps on a weekly basis. 5. Closing Closing a project means finishing all activities across all process groups and signing off the project with the City. At this point it is important to know how well the project has performed. The Project Manager completes a project closure evaluation and communicates how well the project was performed against its original business case, quality measures, cost, duration and tolerances. Observations are used to aid in the planning, execution, and monitoring of future projects. Quality Control / Quality Assurance Procedures Degrove performs project controls and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) at multiple levels as part of the natural progress of work. Degrove puts in place QA/QC procedures that are tailored to fit each specific project and are identified and documented as part of the project scope and the project plan. While the specific details of these plans vary with each project, Degrove does maintain overall QA/QC procedures, which are described in this section. 1. Project Team Kickoff Meetings Degrove takes the stance that the best QA/QC procedures begin prior to the commencement of any project work being completed. Upon appointing the project team, the Project Manager holds meeting(s) with all involved team members. Through these meeting(s), the Project Manager reviews the project‐specific scope, timeline, approach and methods, and individual duties of team members. The Project Manager also listens to other team members’ ideas and suggestions, and ensures each team member attains a full and proper understanding of the project goals, procedures, and his/her responsibilities within the project team. 2. Field QA/QC Checks and Procedures Each field crew is given clear instructions as to project‐specific methods for achieving the required survey data. It is the responsibility of the Project Manager to ensure that these procedures are followed and documented by the Field Crew Chief. Any unique challenges or situations in the field are immediately communicated by the Field Crew Chief to the Project Manager who will ensure that the proper adjustments are made and that if necessary the District is informed. It is also the responsibility of the Project Manager to ensure that the Field Crew Chief achieves the following QA/QC procedures and checks while in the field:  Perform all necessary equipment calibrations.

Specific Project Experience The following projects show that Degrove has 11 years of experience in providing services in accordance with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) “Monitoring Standards for Beach Erosion Control Projects”. Project Name: Survey #13-068 Topographic and Hydrographic Survey, Bal Harbour, Miami-Dade County Client: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Client Contact: Robert Swilley, PSM 904 232-1704 Robert.W.Swilley@usace.army.mil Cost: $18,223.28 Period: 5//2013 - 6/2013 In preparation for planned beach nourishment we were tasked with completing 11 beach profiles, 4 nearshore profiles and an offshore borrow area which was just north of Baker’s Haulover Inlet. The beach profile lines began at R‐27 at the inlet and ran south to R‐33 and included intermediate lines. Beach profile lines began approximately 150 feet landward when possible of the published or physical location of the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) monument and extending easterly approximately 3000 feet into the Atlantic Ocean. We utilized RTK GPS, A Motion Reference Unit (MRU) to adjust for heave pitch and roll and Hypack hydrographic data collection and processing software to complete the hydrographic survey. Due to the time constraints place upon us we utilized two boats and associated equipment. The open boat was used for the surf zone while the 26’ Enclosed cabin boat was used offshore. The uplands were surveyed using a combination of RTK GPS and robotic total station. Project Name: Survey #13-073 Broward County Topographic and Hydrographic Survey Cost – Period $33,824.52 - 5/2013-7/2013 Client: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Client Contacts: Robert Swilley, PSM 904 232-1704 Robert.W.Swilley@usace.army.mil Broward County SPP Monitoring Surveys – Broward County, Florida – After beach nourishment had been completed we were tasked with completing a topographic/hydrographic profiles survey meeting the requirements of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) “Monitoring Standards for Beach Erosion Control Projects”. The survey included of 62 lines, beginning approximately 150 feet landward of the published or physical location of the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) monument and extending easterly approximately 3000 feet into the Atlantic Ocean. We utilized RTK GPS, A Motion Reference Unit (MRU) to adjust for heave pitch and roll and Hypack hydrographic data collection and processing software to complete the Transiting Baker’s Haulover Inlet C.

Project Name: Survey #13077 Lee County Topographic and Hydrographic Survey Cost – Period $28,199.07 - 6/2013-7/2013 Client: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Client Contacts: Robert Swilley, PSM 904 232-1704 Robert.W.Swilley@usace.army.mil Degrove was tasked with providing a topographic and hydrographic survey of beach profiles meeting the requirements of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) “Monitoring Standards for Beach Erosion Control Projects” and surveying an offshore borrow area. Additionally digital photographs and video was taken of the seafloor within the borrow area. This project required a quick turnaround. It was delivered 21 days prior to the due date. Beach profile lines extended approximately 150 feet landward of the beach to 3000 feet offshore. This project was similar in scope to many others that we have completed for the Jacksonville District with the exception of the photos and video that was needed. The purpose of acquiring the imagery was determine whether or not seagrasses existed within the borrow area. After researching cost effective methods for obtaining the images, we decided to use a GoPro High Definition Digital Camera. This low cost waterproof camera provided high resolution images of the seafloor a little cost to the District. We attached the camera to a pole that was lowered to the bottom. The camera was rotated to get a string of still pictures at each location. The camera was then rotated while in video mode. These images verified that there seagrass was not growing in the borrow area. The beach profiles were surveyed with a combination of RTK/GPS for direct upland measurements. A conventional total station for direct measurements in the water and a fathometer, RTK/GPS, Motion Reference Unit integrated by Hypack for the offshore portions of the profile lines and the borrow area.

Pierce Beach SPP Monitoring Surveys (USACE Survey #08‐078) – St. Lucie County, Florida (Survey No. 06‐122) – After beach nourishment had been completed we were tasked with completing a topographic/hydrographic profiles survey meeting the requirements of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) “Monitoring Standards for Beach Erosion Control Projects”. The survey included of 22 lines of beginning approximately 150 feet landward of the published or physical location of the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) monument and extending easterly approximately 3000 feet into the Atlantic Ocean. We utilized RTK GPS, A Motion Reference Unit (MRU) to adjust for heave pitch and roll and Hypack hydrographic data collection and processing software to complete the hydrographic survey. The uplands were surveyed using a combination of RTK GPS and robotic total station. D. Approach and Methodology It is our understanding that the City of Sunny Isles Beach is in need of a Professional Surveying firm to complete surveys along its shoreline that meet the requirements of the Florida department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Beach and Coastal Systems “Monitoring Standards for Beach Erosion Control”. And have knowledge and expertise with the FEMA Disaster Assistance Fact Sheet DAP9580.8. While these standards and directives are specific in their desired deliverables and outcomes, surveying in a surf zone requires a specific set of skills and equipment to safely and accurately complete the work. Approach A. We will meet with the City and Miami‐Dade County to coordinate the work effort so as to optimize the benefit to the City by minimizing the duplication of services. B. We will contact Law Enforcement and Public Safety agencies to coordinate access to the beach and nearshore waters so as to protect the safety of the public. C. As required we will utilize National Geodetic Survey (NGS) 2nd order or higher horizontal and vertical control points for establish coordinates and elevations for the survey. More than likely when using RTK/GPS our base station will directly occupy an NGS Vertical Control Monument. From research completed in preparation for this submittal it appears that all NGS control monuments within the city have been destroyed, more than likely due to construction. We will be able to use control that we have previously set at Haulover Park that meets the required standard to complete the surveys. D. The horizontal datum will be established on NAD 83(90) State Plane Coordinate System, Florida East Zone. The vertical datum will be NAVD 88. E. We propose to use Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS for vertical and horizontal positioning for both the topographic and hydrographic portions of the job. In some cases when circumstances dictate (such as tall building that block GPS signals), A robotic total station will be used. F. Prior to commencement of work and at the end of the work day the topographic and hydrographic survey crews will verify the accuracy of their respective GPS equipment against a known control point. The horizontal and vertical control point used will be verified with other control points in the area. D. Approach and Methodology G. The automated bathymetric survey will begin. The survey system will consist of our 26’ SeaArk survey boat and/or 14’ Demaree pontoon boat, Trimble RTK/GPS Base Receiver and cellular modem, Trimble RTK/GPS Rover and cellular modem, Odom MKIII and or CV100 dual frequency fathometers, TSS Motion Reference Unit (MRU) and Odom Digibar Pro sound velocity probe and Hypack data collection and processing software. This automated process will allow us to pre‐plan the survey and follow predetermined courses meeting the City’s specifications, to maximize the data acquired in the minimum amount of time. H. A critical element to completing the hydrographic survey is adhering to tried and true methods that we have utilized for surveying in a surf zone. It is critical that a motion reference unit is used as part of the hydrographic survey system. Even in calm seas substantial errors will be introduced if heave, pitch and roll of the boat is not compensated for. This error shows its face when a comparison is made between overlapping upland and offshore data. I. Sound Velocity profiles will be completed throughout the survey to correct for speed of sound variations that are the basis for accurate fathometer readings. J. The upland survey crew and hydrographic survey crew coordinate their activities to ensure that their data overlaps. This is critical to quality assurance. K. Upon completion of the hydrographic portion of the project, the resulting data will be processed in Hypack prior to leaving the site. This is done in order to verify the completeness and accuracy of the survey data. L. The Hypack data and upland data will be imported into Autocad. This data will be used to create a DTM. The DTM will be reviewed and edited in order to create the most accurate contours and volumes. From the DTM contours will be created at a one‐foot interval. Deliverables 1. ASCII file containing raw x, y, and z profile data points. 2. ASCII files containing the profile data processed into the DEP x.y,z or distance and depth format. DEP format includes data as well as header records. 3. Monument Information Report (Given/Found/Used Report) 4. Complete federally compliant metadata file including methodology of the data collection and processing procedures utilized in accordance with D. Approach and Methodology standards set forth by the Federal Geographic Data Committee as referenced in Part I.C.2 of this specification. 5. Copies of all checked, standard field books, computation and reduction files, and abstracted final positions shall be provided to the FDEP. Field books shall be scanned and pages amassed into a .pdf document for electronic submittal. 6. Any other data or deliverables that the City or County require, such as volume calculations and reports. Schedule The critical element to scheduling shoreline surveying services is weather and sea state. Not only does high sea state affect the accuracy of the survey it introduces a safety hazard. This type of work must be completed when seas are less than 3 feet. But, in fact it should be done when seas are less than 2 feet. Entering the surf zone in a boat is hazardous when waves are breaking. Thus, it is critical that a large enough window of time be allowed by the City to schedule services during calm conditions. Without knowing the exact scope of services that will be required and working only on past experience, it is anticipated that each survey event will take approximately one week in the field and an additional week in the office to produce deliverables.
