Re: Work Authorization No. 85
Central Island Drainage and Street Improvements
Hydrogeological Investigation
CGA Proposal No. 03-4122.4
Dear Mr. Szerlag:
Enclosed for your review and approval is Work Authorization No. 85 for the above-
referenced project. We have also included a location map showing the vicinity of the
work to be performed as described within the scope of services. The proposed scope of
work is required to provide a reasonable assurance investigation as well as determining
the flow rates and capacity of the proposed wells prior to the installation of the proposed
drainage system.
The scope of work includes testing, traffic control and drilling of three test wells. The
work will be performed by Langan Engineering & Environmental Services and it is very
important for this task to be performed as soon as possible to allow the permitting and
subsequently the bidding to continue on schedule.
Should you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to contact me at
your convenience.
Sincerely,
CALVIN, GIORDANO & ASSOCIATES, INC.

CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH
Central Island Drainal!:e & Street Improvements
Hvdrol!:eolol!:ical Investil!:ation
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
1. SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task I - Project Startup
· Project setup and invoicing, coordination with subcontractors and, as necessary, with the
Client, the property owner, the site contact and other parties identified by the Client.
· On-site meetings with the Client to determine acceptable test hole locations.
· Coordination and on-site meetings with representatives of public utilities through
Sunshine One-Call and City utility representatives to ensure that the test hole locations are
clear of underground utilities.
· Time for securing permits from the City or Miami-Dade County to drill in the rights-of-
way.
Task 1 can be completed within three weeks, depending on our number and nature of the
required permits and the time required to secure underground clearance.
Task 2 - Field Activities
Reasonable Assurance Report - A 7-inch diameter test hole is proposed to 150 ft. below land
surface (bls). Continuous samples will be collected of the soil and rock. Water quality
samples at approximately 10-ft intervals will also be collected for field measurement and
laboratory analysis of total dissolved solids.
A description of the geology in the field will be recorded, making particular note of intervals
of hard, dense or cemented rock that might act as semi confining layers to prevent the vertical
migration of injected storm water. The TDS concentration will be measured with a field meter
to estimate the depth at which the concentration exceeds 10,000 parts per million (ppm).
Specific Capacity Tests - At least one specific capacity test will be conducted in a potential
production zone in each test hole, at depths below which the criteria for reasonable assurance
are satisfied. The interval at which the hole will be grooved to the bottom of that interval and
set the well casing at the top of that interval. The specific capacity test will be a step-
drawdown test, which consists of pumping groundwater and monitoring the flow rate, the
drawdown, the elapsed time and the recovery time, and then pumping the groundwater at a
higher flow rate, with the same kind of monitoring.

Work Authorization No. 85
September 11,2006
Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. Proposal No. 03-4122.4
A water truck will be supplied, which will be used to store temporarily the groundwater
pumped from the test hole. The groundwater will be returned to the hole when testing is
completed. The drill cuttings will be disposed of off site.
Task 2 can be completed in six days (two days per test hole). Laboratory results will be
available within one week after sample delivery.
Task 3 - Report Preparation
A report will be prepared that documents evaluation and opinion of the data to be submitted to
FDEP as part of the permitting package. The report will be signed and sealed by a State of
Florida Licensed Professional Geologist. If the data does not provide reasonable assurance of
minimal impact, additional evaluation may be recommended, e.g., test wellslborings,
groundwater modeling, the Client will be so advised.
Preparation of the report will include researching nearby USGS well information and other
geologic data, and researching test boring and total dissolved solids data from nearby project
sites.
A separate letter will be prepared that documents the specific capacity tests and provides
professional opinion on the specific capacity of each test hole.
2.
BASIS OF COMPENSATION:
Hourly rates with an estimated fee of $56,896.00 plus reimbursables at $2,844.80 with a total
not to exceed amount of $59,740.80. Payments to be made monthly.
3. TIME OF PERFORMANCE:
Tasks 1 through 3 under the Scope of Services will be completed within 45 calendar days after
the Notice to Proceed except for delays beyond the control of the Consultant.

MEMORANDUM
FROM:
TO: The Honorable City Com
DATE: September 21,2006
RE: CONTRACT WITH CALVIN, GIORDANO & ASSOCIATES;
HYDROGEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION FOR THE CENTRAL ISLAND
DRAINAGE AND STREET IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
The City is undertaking a storm water drainage project, along with associated street improvements,
between 174th Street and 183rd Street West of Collins Avenue. This project will reduce flooding
currently occurring in this area. In addition, the new school and Active Park Projects will benefit
from this work.
One of our salient objectives inherent in all Capital Projects is to reduce change orders. And the best
way to accomplish this is to have bids specifications correlate closely with field conditions. Thus the
proposed scope of work of Calvin, Giordano is required to provide a reasonable assurance that flow
rates and capacity of proposed wells contained in the specifications will be functional in the field.
The attached scope of services includes $8,798.00 for traffic control. And while I'm leaving this
number in the contract, the Police Department will perform most, if not all, of this function. Thus if
the Police Department conducts all traffic control, there will be no charge by Calvin, Giordano &
Associates for this work component.
I recommend that this work be performed so as to produce a better bid specification. Funds are
available in account 40-538-5313 (Stormwater Fund - Engineering/Planning) in the 2006-07
proposed Budget.
As always, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
