performance of the Consultant's duty impracticable.
13. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. Each of the parties hereto hereby knowingly,
voluntarily and intentionally, waive the right which any may have to a jury trial in respect of any

1. Each agency has identified missing items in the application forms that were
submitted, including riparian property owners who mllst verify DERMis
application and a missing signature on the ERP application. Also, in November,
2009, DERi\1 began using a new Class] Application Fonn. CGA and its sub-
consultants will prepare, ifnecessllry, new permit applications and sketches.
Applications, including a Class I permit application to Miami-Dade County
Department of Environmental Resource Management (DERM) and an
Environmental Resources Permit (ERP) application to the South Florida Water
Management District (SFWMD) and the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), will
be submitted to you for rcview and signature prior to submittal to the respective
agencies.
Obtaining the DERM and SFWMD permits will be a two-step process. The first
step is conceptual approval based on the permit sketches. The actual permit
CaImot be obtained until after detailed construction plans are submitted for
review (the second step in the process). It is assumed that the detailed
construction and drainage plans and calculations necessary for these permit
applications will be prepared by others. Those costs are not included in this
proposal.
CGA and its sub-consultants will respond to requests for additional information
from all of these agencies. Time will be devoted to keeping track of agency
findings on a regular basis. This monitoring will provide us with early detection
of agency concerns and will minimize misunderstandings, Each of the
applications will be tracked until a decision is reached. As with all permitting
matters, no guaraIltee can be provided regarding success or failure in obtaining

permits, nor is it feasible to estimate when the permits will be issued. The State
has deadlines for responding to applications (30 days to file a request for
additional information and 90 days after the application is deemed complete to
issue or deny a permit), but neither the Corps nor DERM have deadlines for
taking action. Delays are inevitable with these two agencies.

4. Construction plans for the proposed improvements (including drainage plans
and calculations) will be prepared by others. These plans will be submitted to
DERM to complete the Class I permit application. The paving, grading and
drainage plans will be submitted to the SFWMD to complete the ERP
application.
B. Miscellaneous General Consulting

1. This task will allow CGA and its sub-consultants to perform miscellaneous
a,>signments which may be required but do not fall within the scope ofthe first
task. It is understood that work under this task will be performed only at your
discretion and with your authorization. Work charged under this task could
include additional site inspections, zoning assistance meetings with agencies,
litigation assistance, etc.
2. Based upon our experience with similar assignments, we believe it is best to
provide our work for Tasks A (Environmental Permitting) and Task B
(Miscellaneous General Consulting) on an hourly basis plus expenses, against a
budget estimate.
2. Basis of the Proposal
1. Based upon our experience with similar assignments, we believe it is best to
provide our work for Task A (Environmental Permitting) and Task B
(Miscellaneous General Consulting) on an hourly basis plus expenses,
against a budget estimate.
2. Out ofpoeket expenses (reimbursable) include water quality or soil testing,
application and permit fees, surveys by a registered surveyor, or out of
pocket expenses listed in this proposal.
3. Regulatory agency plan review fees and permit fees are not included in the
budgets for any tasks. They are your responsibility. Please note that the
budgets for several tasks are budget estimates and are not a fee maximum.
Because of ever-changing regulatory requirements, it is difficult to assess a
budget for some tasks. Hourly billing is fair for both parties. Ifpelmitting
Dnfiled Notes Palle 3
-
goes easily, our billings will not exceed the budget amount; if permitting is
difficult, however, our bill for a task could exceed the budgeted amount.
4. Any additional hours ofCGA staff will be billed at the attached CGA
hourly rates, any additional hourly rates ofCGA's sub-consultant will be
billed at their attached hourly rates plus a ten percent management and
overhead fee.
5. Please be informed that we are prepared to initiate the services described
above, We request that you acknowledge acceptance of this proposal by
signing the enclosed copy of this proposal, and returning it to us, along with
a retainer in the amount of Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
($2,500.00). This retainer will be applied to our final invoice for services.
Work under this agreement will not begin until signed copies of both the
agreement and general conditions are received.
6. Time is of the essence. A complete schedule, including critical path and
milestones, must be submitted as a contractual requirement within 14 days
of execution. This schedule is to' be updated and submitted on a minimum
weekly basis. Payments will be made based on the schedule milestones
achieved. Non-compliance of this contractual requirement, for reasons
within our control, will result in tern1ination of this contract. As you are
aware a large pOttion of the scheduled items lay in the hands of others
(permitting agencies, design engineers, etc)
2. BASIS OF COMPENSA nON
Hourly rates with an estimated fee of$33,000.00 task A + $11,000.00 for task B plus
reimbursables at $2,200.00 with a total not to exceed amount of$46,200.00. Payments to be
made monthly.

Re: North Bay Road Bridge Project
City of Sunny Isles Beach
Dear Mr. Wadsworth:
EAS Engineering, Inc. is pleased to submit the following proposal for professional environmental and
engineering services related to the above referenced project.
It is our understanding that you require assistance in obtaining environmental permits for a new bridge
across an existing canal in Sunny Isles Beach, We have reviewed the information in the CD that YOll sent
to liS. Based upon our understanding of your requirements, we have prepared a scope of services which we
feel will be responsi ve to your needs. Our scope of services includes the following tasks:
TASK I
TASK 2
ENV IRONMENT AL PERMITTING
MISCELLANEOUS GENERAL CONSULTING
TASK 1 - ENViRONMENTAL PERM1TTlNG
Each agency has identified missing items in the application forms that were submitted, including riparian
property owners who must verify DERM's application and a missing signature on the ERP application.
Also, in November, 2009, DERM began using a new Class I Application Form. EAS Engineering will
prepare, if necessary, new permit applications and sketches. Applications, including a Class I permit
application to Miami-Dade COllnty Department of EnvirolUllental Resource Management (DERM) and an
Environmental Resources Permit (ERP) application to the South Florida Water Management District
(SFWMD) and the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), will be submitted to you for review and signature
prior to submittal to the respective agencies.
Obtaining the DERM and SFWMD permits will be a two-step process. The first step is conceptual
approval based on the permit sketches. The actual permit cannot be obtained until after detailed
construction plans are submitted for review (the second step in the process). It is assumed that the detailed
construction and drainage plans and calculations necessary for these permit applications will be prepared by
others. Those costs are not included in this proposal.
.-
Mr. Joel Wadsworth
June 30, 2010
Page - 2 -
EAS Engineering, Inc. will respond to requests for additional information from all of these agencies.
Time will be devoted to keeping track of agency findings on a regular basis. This monitoring will provide
us with early detection of agency concerns and will minimize misunderstandings. Each of the applications
will be tracked until a decision is reached. As with all permitting matters, no guarantee can be provided
regarding success or failure in obtaining permits, nor is it feasible to estimate when the permits will be
issued. The State has deadlines for responding to applications (30 days to file a request for additional
information and 90 days after the application is deemed complete to issue or deny a permit), but neither the
Corps nor DERM have deadlines for taking action. Delays are inevit<1ble with these two agencies.
ConstJlJction plans for the proposed improvements (including drainage plans and calculations) will be
prepared by others. These plans will be submitted to DERM to complete the Class I permit application.
The paving, grading and drainage plans will be submitted to the SFWMD to complete the ERP application.
TASK 2 - MISCELLANEOOS GENERAL CONSULTING
This task will allow EAS Engineering, Inc. to perform miscellaneous assignments which may be required
but do not fall within the scope of the first task. It is understood that work under this task will be
performed only at your discretion and with your authorization. Work charged under this task could
include additional site inspections, zoning assistance meetings with agencies, litigation assistance, etc.
Based upon our experience with similar assignments, we believe it is best to provide our work for Tasks I
(Environmental Permitting) and Task 2 (Miscellaneous General Consulting) on an hourly basis plus
expenses, against a budget estimate.
The following professional fees have been establ ished for each of the tasks described above.
TASK 1 -ENVffiONMENTAL PERMITTING
$ 30,000.00
Budget Estimate
Time Charged Plus Expenses
Reimbursable Expenses
$ 3,000.00
Not to Exceed
TASK 2 - MISe. GENERAL CONSULTlNG
$ 10,000.00
Hourly as Authorized
Not to Exceed
Out of pocket expenses (reimbursable) include water quality or soil testing, application and permit fees,
surveys by a registered surveyor, or out of pocket expenses I isted in Paragraph 2 of the attached General
Conditions for Professional Engineering Services.
Regulatory agency plan review fees and permit fees are not included in the budgets for any tasks. They are
your responsibility. Please note that the budgets for several tasks are budget estimates and are not a fee
maximum. Because of ever-changing regulatory requirements, it is difficult to assess a budget for some
tasks. Hourly billing is fair for both parties. If permitting goes easily, our billings will not exceed the
budget amount; if permitting is difficult, however, our bill for a task could exceed the budgeted amount.
Hourly rates and out of pocket expenses will be charged per the rates stated in Paragraphs I and 2 of the
"]I

attached General Conditions for Professional Engineering Services. Invoicing will be per Paragraph 3 of

Please be infonned that we are prepared to initiate the services described above. We request that you
acknowledge acceptance of this proposal by signing the enclosed copy of this letter and the General

amount of Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00). This retainer will be applied to our tinal

Newport Fishing Pier Permitting
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1. SCOPE OF SERVICES
Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. will perform the following services based on
our understanding ofthe project requirements:
I. Professional Government Consulting Services
A. Environmental Permitting
1. CGA and its sub-consultants will meet with you and City staff to
review the current status of the applications. Items that have been
requested by the regulatory agencies and the parties responsible for
providing that information will be identified at this meeting. CGA
and its sub-consultants will respond to the agencies' requests for
additional information as soon as the requested information is
available. The primary agencies involved in this project are the US
Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP) and Miami-Dade County
Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM).
2. Obtaining the DERM and FDEP permits will be a two-step
process. The first step is conceptual approval based on the permit
sketches. The actual permit cannot be obtained until after detailed
construction plans are submitted for review (the second step in the
process). It is assumed that the detailed construction and drainage
plans and calculations necessary for these permit applications will
be prepared by others. Those costs are not included in this
proposal
3. CGA and its sub-consultants will continue to respond to requests
for additional information from all of these agencies. Time will be
devoted to keeping track of agency findings on a regular basis. This
monitoring will provide us with early detection of agency concerns
and will minimize misunderstandings. Each of the applications will
be tracked until a decision is reached. As with all permitting
matters, no guarantee can be provided regarding success or failure
in obtaining permits, nor is it feasible to estimate when the permits
-
will be issued. The State has deadlines for responding to
applications (30 days to file a request for additional information
and 90 days after the application is deemed complete to issue or
deny a permit), but neither the Corps nor DERM have deadlines for
taking action. Delays are inevitable with these two agencies.
4. Construction plans for the proposed improvements (including
drainage plans and calculations) will be prepared by others. These
plans will be submitted to DERM to complete the Class I permit
application. The paving, grading and drainage plans will be
submitted to the SFWMD to complete the ERP application.
B. Miscellaneous General Consulting
1. This task will allow CGA and its sub-consultants to perform
miscellaneous assignments which may be required but do not fall
within the scope of the first task. It is understood that work under
this task will be performed only at your discretion and with your
authorization. Work charged under this task could include
additional site inspections, zoning assistance meetings with
agencies, litigation assistance, etc.
2. Basis of the Proposal
1. Based upon our experience with similar assignments, we believe it .
is best to provide our work for Task A (Environmental Permitting)
and Task B (Miscellaneous General Consulting) on an hourly basis
plus expenses, against a budget estimate.
2. Out of pocket expenses (reimbursable) include water quality or soil
testing, application and permit fees, surveys by a registered
surveyor, or out of pocket expenses listed in this proposal.
3. Regulatory agency plan review fees and permit fees are not
included in the budgets for any tasks. They are your responsibility.
Please note that the budgets for several tasks are budget estimates
and are not a fee maximum. Because of ever-changing regulatory
requirements, it is difficult to assess a budget for some tasks.
Hourly billing is fair for both parties. If permitting goes easily, our
billings will not exceed the budget amount; if permitting is
difficult, however, our bill for a task could exceed the budgeted
amount.
I
,.
4. Any additional hours ofCGA staffwill be billed at the attached
CGA hourly rates, any additional hourly rates of COA's sub-
consultant will be billed at their attached hourly rates plus a ten
percent management and overhead fee.
5. Please be informed that we are prepared to initiate the services
described above. We request that you acknowledge acceptance of
this proposal by signing the enclosed copy of this proposal, and
returning it to us, along with a retainer in the amount of Two
Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00). This retainer will be
applied to our final invoice for services. Work under this
agreement will not begin until signed copies of both the agreement
and general conditions are received.
6. Time is of the essence. A complete schedule, including critical
path and milestones, must be submitted as a contractual
requirement within 14 days of execution. This schedule is to be
updated and submitted on a minimum weekly basis. Payments will
be made based on the schedule milestones achieved. Non-
compliance of this contractual requirement, for reasons within our
control, will result in termination of this contract. As you are
aware a large portion of the scheduled items lay in the hands of
others (permitting agencies, design engineers, etc)
3. BASIS OF COMPENSATION
Hourly rates with an estimated fee of $22,000.00 Task A and $11,000 for Task B,
plus reimbursables at $1,650.00 with a total not to exceed amount of $34,650.00.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1. SCOPE OF SERVICES
Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. will perform the following services based on
our understanding of the project requirements:
I. Professional Government Consulting Services
A. Environmental Permitting
1. CGA and its sub-consultants will meet with you and City staff to
review the current status of the applications. Items that have been
requested by the regulatory agencies and the parties responsible for
providing that information will be identified at this meeting. CGA
and its sub-consultants will respond to the agencies' requests for
additional information as soon as the requested information is
available. The primary agencies involved in this project are the US
Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP) and Miami-Dade County
Department of Environmental Resources Management (DERM).
2. Obtaining the DERM and FDEP permits will be a two-step
process. The first step is conceptual approval based on the permit
sketches. The actual permit cannot be obtained until after detailed
construction plans are submitted for review (the second step in the
process). It is assumed that the detailed construction and drainage
plans and calculations necessary for these permit applications will
be prepared by others. Those costs are not included in this
proposal.
3. CGA and its sub-consultants will continue to respond to requests
for additional information from all of these agencies. Time will be
devoted to keeping track of agency findings on a regular basis. This
monitoring will provide us with early detection of agency concerns
and will minimize misunderstandings. Each of the applications will
be tracked until a decision is reached. As with all permitting
matters, no guarantee can be provided regarding success or failure
in obtaining permits, nor is it feasible to estimate when the permits
will be issued. The State has deadlines for responding to
applications (30 days to file a request for additional information
and 90 days after the application is deemed complete to issue or
deny a permit), but neither the Corps nor DERM have deadlines for
taking action. Delays are inevitable with these two agencies.
4. Construction plans for the proposed improvements (including
drainage plans and calculations) will be prepared by others. These
plans will be submitted to DERM to complete the Class I permit
application. The paving, grading and drainage plans will be
submitted to the SFWMD to complete the ERP application.
B. Miscellaneous General Consulting
1. This task will allow CGA and its sub-consultants to perform
miscellaneous assignments which may be required but do not fall
within the scope of the first task. It is understood that work under
this task will be performed only at your discretion and with your
authorization. Work charged under this task could include
additional site inspections, zoning assistance meetings with
agencies, litigation assistance, etc.
2. Basis of the Proposal
1. Based upon our experience with similar assignments, we believe it
is best to provide our work for Task A (Environmental Permitting)
and Task B (Miscellaneous General Consulting) on an hourly basis
plus expenses, against a budget estimate.
2. Out of pocket expenses (reimbursable) include water quality or soil
testing, application and permit fees, surveys by a registered
surveyor, or out of pocket expenses listed in this proposal.
3. Regulatory agency plan review fees and permit fees are not
included in the budgets for any tasks. They are your responsibility.
Please note that the budgets for several tasks are budget estimates
and are not a fee maximum. Because of ever-changing regulatory
requirements, it is difficult to assess a budget for some tasks.
Hourly billing is fair for both parties. If permitting goes easily, our
billings will not exceed the budget amount; if permitting is
difficult, however, our bill for a task could exceed the budgeted
amount.
4. Any additional hours of CGA staff will be billed at the attached
CGA hourly rates, any additional hourly rates of CGA's sub-
consultant will be billed at their attached hourly rates plus a ten
percent management and overhead fee.
5. Please be informed that we are prepared to initiate the services
described above. We request that you acknowledge acceptance of
this proposal by signing the enclosed copy of this proposal, and
returning it to us, along with a retainer in the amount of Two
Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00). This retainer will be
applied to our final invoice for services. Work under this
agreement will not begin until signed copies of both the agreement
and general conditions are received.
6. Time is of the essence. A complete schedule, including critical
path and milestones, must be submitted as a contractual
requirement within 14 days of execution. This schedule is to be
updated and submitted on a minimum weekly basis. Payments will
be made based on the schedule milestones achieved. Non-
compliance of this contractual requirement, for reasons within our
control, will result in termination of this contract. As you are
aware a large portion of the scheduled items lay in the hands of
others (permitting agencies, design engineers, etc)
3. BASIS OF COMPENSATION
Hourly rates with an estimated fee of $22,000.00 Task A and $11,000 for Task B,
plus reimbursables at $1,650.00 with a total not to exceed amount of $34,650.00.
Payments to be made monthly.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
The Honorable Mayor and City Commission
FROM:
Rick Conner, City Manager
DATE:
7/15/2010
RE:
Contract with Calvin-Giordano & Associates to handle all permitting
issues on the Emergency/Pedestrian Bridge and the Newport Fishing Pier.
RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends approval of the Resolution that will authorize Calvin Giordano &
Associates to take over the permitting process for the Emergency/Pedestrian Bridge and
the Newport Fishing Pier, utilizing the sub-consultant of EAS Engineering, in a total
amount not to exceed $80,850.00 ($46,200 for the bridge and $34,650 for the Pier).
These numbers include monies that should not need to be spent, but we have put in an
allowance (only if authorized by the City) for addtional work that might be necessary
to keep this projects moving. Also, part of this contract is a penalty for not meeting the
proposed schedule.
REASONS:
EAS Engineering specializes in Environmental Permitting and has put together a
schedule to acquire the permits for these two projects. We are also asking for authority
to cancel the contract with Marlin Engineering, the firm orginally hired to obtain the
permits (through their sub-consultant, Milian-Swain & Associates). We are including
the new shedule as part of this package.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for this effort will come from the original Capital Project Accounts for the
Bridge and Pier, Numbers 20-600-5670 and 20-600-5651.
