The City's main point of contact will be through proposed project manager, Mr. Jose Polo who works from our Fort. Lauderdale. The Fort Lauderdale office, along with the other South Florida technical centers in the Boca Raton and Miami offices, have a current staffing level of approximately 200 employees offering expertise in the following areas: . Architecture and Landscape Architecture . Bridge Design Engineering . Civil/Site Engineering . Coastal and Marine Engineering . Environmental Engineering and Permitting . GeorechnwalEngmeering .

Water and Wastewater Engineering ~ In addition to these technical and local staffing capabilities, URS has developed an administrative and support organization to provide its project managers and professional staff with the financial and administrative tools, support staffing, facilities, equipment and necessary support project operations to provide complete and timely client services. 1.6 OUTSTANDING LITIGATION URS is presently the second largest engineering design firm in the nation (ENR April, 2010) and had a 2010 revenue base of $9.18 Billion and a net income of $287.9 Million. Companies the size of URS will have on-going various legal proceedings pending against the Company or its subsidiaries in connection with the performance of our professional services. As such, as with any and all large nationally recognized professional service organizations the size of URS Corporation, we all from time to time become the target of sometimes legitimate as well as nefarious litigation actions. In response to and in defense of such actions, URS maintains substantial liability insurance programs and policies to protect itself from any and all litigation. Additionally, the Company has substantial assets, including liquid assets of several tens of million dollars at any given time. ~ Due to the large size of the company and the tens of thousands of projects either in progress or under construction at any given time, the company has a variable numbers of litigation actions ongoing nationally and some worldwide at any given time. These actions are far too numerous to list and detail in response to this RFP. Current litigation actions are estimated to be on the order of 1 litigation action for every $100 million of earned revenue. The Company's management does not believe that any of such proceedings currently in progress will have a material or adverse effect on the consolidated financial position and operations of the Company. URS Corporation Southern does, however, provide the following listing of active cases in Florida: ~ Case Name Case No. Project Description Status Walter Gaitan Florida State U RS Corporation Southern Plaintiff alleges a wrongful death claim Discovery et al. v.

Water and Wastewater Planning and Engineering 2.3 REQUIRED SERVICES QUALIFICATIONS OVERVIEW URS has extensive, demonstrated Florida experience with the design of small to major bridge and pier structures - both over local canals as well as in and over major coastal waterways. Our experiences include the design of more traditional pile and pier-supported bridges, as well as the more complex and challenging moveable bascule bridge structures. Inherent in the design of such structures is the demonstrated understanding and ability to coordinate and communicate with project design team consultants and their subconsultants in order to produce complete and accurate/buildable designs in a timely manner. Also inherent is the civil, structural, geotechnical, MEP, life safety, fire, landscaping design and oversight of surveying services and our proven ability to read, understand, and approve concrete design mixes for structure in beach, island, and canal environments.. URS experience and expertise in this regard has resulted in the successful design and construction of some of the most notable bridge projects in Florida including the Award winning SE 17th Street Causeway Bridge in Fort Lauderdale and the SR 704 Royale Park Replacement Bridge in downtown West Palm Beach. URS was also responsible for the design and CEI services for the new high level Thomas B. Manual Bridge over the St. Lucie Canal on the Florida's Turnpike in St. Lucie County, Florida. The Thomas B. Manual project included both a new high level pile supported bridge and demolition and replacement of the bridge deck on the pre- existing bridge. In addition, URS' Construction Engineering Inspection (CEI) Division has provided construction management and CEI services for some of the most difficult and challenging projects to construct in the South Florida region. Within the last 11 years, URS CEI staff have successfully completed the construction of such major bridge structures as the SR 804 Ocean Avenue bridge in Boynton Beach, FL; the SR 704 Royale Park replacement bridge in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida and most recently in 2010, the SR A1A Bridge of Lion Replacement Bridge in downtown St. Augustine, Florida. All of these projects required the demolition of the existing bridge structure and the re-routing of traffic flows in highly populated areas. To facilitate construction of the SR 704 Royale Park and SR A 1 A Bridge of Lions projects, it was necessary to construct a pile supported temporary bridges adjacent to the existing bridge to reroute traffic over the Intracoastal Waterway prior to the commencement of demolition of the old bridge structures. 2 3 I ;-; ~ -- - - c ~ ':: URS City of Sunny Isles Beach: Special Inspection Services RFO No. 11-07-11 c As standard protocol. which occurs at the completion of construction, URS certifies to FOOT that the projects have been completed in substantial conformance with the plans and specifications. In summary, through URS' successful design and construction CEI experience on some of the most notable and challenging bridge projects in Florida, URS has demonstrated that our design and CEI staff have a complete and full understanding of the acceptable methods of bridge design and construction methodologies that need to be applied to design and successfully complete any given project. The URS team detailed in this RFP is geared to provide the City with key personnel who have direct experience on many of these challenging bridge projects and who will bring to the City a wealth of experience in foundation and bridge construction. Additionally, proposed team members have extensive experience with geotechnical conditions in the Sunny Isles Beach area as well as with the design and construction considerations involved with deep foundation systems (i.e. driven piles, ACIP pies and drilled shafts). 2.4 REPRESENTATIVE CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES URS has also grown to become one of Florida's top providers of construction program management and construction engineering and design services. Over the years, we have developed an expertise in federally and publicly funded projects, where we have worked with clients to successfully complete some of the most significant projects in Florida's history. Our recent work program management work includes many high-profile projects such as the SR 704 Bridge of Lions, Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County and the Palm Beach Convention Center in West Palm Beach. c It is anticipated that construction administration and project management services will include, but not be limited, to the following: . Precast yard - pre-stressed pile fabrication inspections . Pile/Pier foundation load testing and installation inspection and documentation . Pier deck construction inspection . Restaurant Facility construction inspection . Construction Material Sampling and Testing . Special Inspector Inspections . Underground utility installations and connections . Pavement milling and resurfacing of roadways . Roadway / Bridge abutment soil compaction inspection and testing . Oversight management and review of Submittal and RFls and status of resolution .

Oversight of project substantial completion . Oversight of project final completion, punchlisting and close out URS recognizes that the nature of the projects are such that only part-time services on-site may be all that is required of URS during the construction phase of the project. Inspections will be performed on a pre- scheduled periodic basis and at critical hold points prior to concrete pours and/or other construction activities which may render inspection of a particular component impossible to perform. Our PM will call upon specialized engineering technical support members at any given time during the final design, construction bid phase or oversight process to overview the analysis and technical recommendations provided by other project design consultants. URS is also known as a top tier provider of full services engineering, project management and construction administration services for the South Florida Water Management District and we are currently providing engineering design and construction management/engineering during construction services on several active projects related to everglades restoration work in South Florida. Successful construction projects don't just happen; they require a positive, forward thinking proactive management team and a partnering mentality with all project participants. URS has the maturity of staff and experience to establish a cooperative teamwork approach to any project. Formally or informally, we will create a partnering atmosphere, encourage open discussion settlement of contract issues at the lowest possible level, and seek the least cost on all monetary issues. URS' construction services approach will be to take a proactive role in any assigned project. While serving as the City's consultant during this project, the ultimate goal of our services will be to verify that the project is constructed in conformity with the plans, specifications and contract provisions - on time and - on budget. The following list of CM Projects presented in this RFP are a compendium of selected examples of the bridge and facilities construction projects - some with significant environmental permitting challenges - which demonstrate the broad range of construction services URS is capable of providing to the City in support of this RFP. 2-5 I ~3 g E URS City of Sunny Isles Beach: Special Inspection Services RFO No. 11-07-11 C CM Proiect #1 - Sunnv Isles Bridqe Rehabilitation, North Miami Beach, FL URS was retained by the Florida Department of Transportation to provide mechanical and electrical specialty Construction Engineering and Inspection services for the rehabilitation of the Sunny Isles Bridge in North Miami Beach, Florida.

URS City of Sunny Isles Beach: Special Inspection Services RFO No. 11-07-11 C CM Proiect #5. Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performinq Arts of Miami-Dade County, Miami. FL URS provided program management and construction administration services on the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County project. The Arsht Center is a state-of-the-art complex designed by the world-renowned architect Cesar Pelli, and is comprised of five buildings sited on 5.9 acres. The two featured theatres are the 2,400-seat Sanford and Dolores Ziff Ballet Opera House and the 2,200- seat Knight Concert Hall. A 200-seat black box Studio Theatre, the Peacock Education Center, and a restored Art Deco Tower are united with the other two buildings by a Plaza for the Arts across Biscayne Boulevard. In the fall of 2003, approximately two years after the start of construction and 30% completed, URS was retained by Miami-Dade County to assess and make recommendations on restructuring the contractual and working relationships of the various project participants. The key project members had ceased communications with each other, the project was 600 days behind schedule, and over $100 million in claims had been generated. The County needed to effectively bring this high- profile project back on track by regaining budget and schedule controls. URS assisted the County in restructuring, creating new contractual relationships - most notably, changing the agreement with the contractor from CM-at-risk to agency CM, re-baselining the project schedule, and revising the project completion budget. This effort benefited all parties, avoiding a project stoppage, averting major contractual disputes, and restoring public confidence in the investment of County funds. The project had no litigation. .:. .' . .,!.~ -~1:!'. ,.. '-t., ',' .~-:"~:. " ',' . :-;. - ~~ .' '~, ~.. '., ..... M1': ," ~.~ ' > - . ,.!ll';~,", I '.

URS has roadway design and traffic engineering staff located in our Ft. Lauderdale office and our Miami and Boca Raton offices maintains a large staff of roadway and bridge/structural design personnel. Additionally, the Boca Raton office provides a full range of multi- disciplinary engineering design capabilities including civil engineering, geotechnical engineering, structural engineering, mechanical and electrical engineering, environmental engineering and permitting. The URS Boca Raton office has been providing "Full Services" engineering design services to the SFWMD on major Everglades Restoration projects for over the last 15 years. The following Design Projects presented in this RFP are a compendium of selected examples of the bridge design, facilities design and projects with significant environmental permitting challenges which demonstrate the broad range of design and design coordination services URS is capable of providing to the City in support of this RFP. Desiqn Proiect #1 - Southeast 17th Street Causeway Bridqe Replacement, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida URS, through our subsidiary EC Driver, designed a new twin double-leaf bascule bridge designated as the "Gateway to Fort Lauderdale". The new bridge greatly alleviated congestion for both vehicular and boat traffic and accomplished many of the Department of Transportation's goals. The design development process involved extensive community involvement. Two design charettes were held to build consensus among residents and local business owners. Their input affected the bridge shapes, colors, lighting and amenities. 2-13 I P age URS r' '--" c ,-.... I ~ City of Sunny Isles Beach: Special Inspection Services RFO No. 11-07-11 The old bridge had only twenty-two feet of vertical clearance over the waterway. The new bascule bridge provides fifty-five feet of vertical clearance, reducing the number of openings to one every hour for approximately five minutes. The twin structures are each fifty-four feet wide and are separated by a thirteen foot wide open median. The bascule leaves span 210 feet between the centerlines of the trunnions. The design of the bridge involved many significant innovative features. Perhaps the most significant innovation was the development of the "carina" pier. This was the first use of a V-shaped pier on a bascule bridge and provides less restricted views of the water and improves the overall proportions of the structure. The bridge deck of the bascule leaves is an exodermic deck built with a composite steel grid system and a concrete riding surface. This is only the second bridge in the country to use this system. The heavier weight of the deck required a heavier counterweight. This was achieved by using a combination of heavyweight concrete and steel ballast. For aesthetic reasons, the bascule leaves utilize steel box girders. This is the first time that steel box girders have been used on a bascule bridge. The box girders and exodermic deck provide lateral stability so the typical unsightly lateral bracing of the bascule leaves were eliminated. The approach spans consist of trapezoidal precast segmental concrete boxes. The approach spans vary in depth from eight feet at midspan to thirteen feet at the piers. This variation was incorporated to accentuate the arched appearance of the approach spans. Extensive landscape and hardscape beneath the approach spans provide large public areas.

Located over the Intracoastal Waterway, this twin-double leaf bascule bridge connects the City of West Palm Beach and the Town of Palm Beach. The replacement of this bridge became an emergency project when, during a scour repair project, it was discovered that Marine Borers had eaten through the wood piling supporting the bridge. The project has a $50.8 million dollar construction cost and the construction contract was for 1100 days. The design team for the project plans was lead by URS/E.C. Driver and Associates (A subsidiary of URS Corporation). In addition to the bascule bridge replacement and new bascule spans, this project included the design and construction of a parallel, variable depth, arched, driven pile supported, cast-in-place segmental approach spans that are just over 1,000 feet in length. Also included are; park improvements on both ends of the bridge, a pedestrian bridge under the first segmental span and several blocks of urban roadway reconstruction.

The projects are located in the remote wilderness backcountry of Everglades National Park (ENP) in the very southwest corner of the State of Florida. The dams play a critical role in protecting the pristine remote t>* I wilderness backcounty area of the Park and of Florida Bay. The 0 restoration efforts were of critical importance to ENP to arrest the degradation of environmental habitat and species in the overall Cape Sable region. Due to the remote location of the failed dams which are only accessible by small shallow draft boats or helicopter, logistics played a keyed role in designing a feasible and cost effective solution. URS was subsequently retained by NPS to complete an Environmental Assessment (EA), perform site Geotechnical Assessments and prepare detailed final Engineering Design drawings and specifications for the projects. The design efforts included the incorporation of a coastal wetland habitat restoration into the design, obtaining Agency permits, preparing bid documents and overseeing construction operations as the Owner's engineering representative. The project design was complicated by not only the remote site location but also by the presence of very shallow shoals in the access routes leading to the dam sites through Florida Bay and along canals leading to the dam sites. The shallow shoals were investigated and evaluated for Bathymetry and Benthic resources as an early component of the design phase work. ,.. ~ During the EA and throughout the permitting process, URS worked closely with numerous regulatory agencies (USACOE, FDEP, SFWMD, NMF, FWC etc), to ensure all concerns were appropriately identified and addressed early on in the design and permitting process. Some of the technical assessments performed by URS included Mangrove and Wetland Evaluations and Mitigation Assessments; preparation of an Essential Fish Habitat Assessment, Contamination study; Endangered Species Biological Assessment; air and noise pollution assessments; social and economic assessments; and comprehensive Benthic Surveys of offshore staging areas, evaluation of alternative locations and installation methods that addressed stakeholder concerns. c 2-16 I P " S e URS c ,..... ~ c City of Sunny Isles Beach: Special Inspection Services RFO No. 11-07-11 In addition, URS facilitated internal scoping meetings, public scoping workshop and public meetings to communicate the EA process and solicit input from the affected public.

Provide proactive management of all projects URS' first activity was to prepare an overall program budget and schedule assessment based on available information and then to upgrade the quality of the input data and information to finalize an overall program budget and schedule. Based on the final program URS prepared a cash flow forecast to help SWA evaluate options to fund their program. URS assisted SWA to evaluate funding sources and finalize bond fund needs and timeframes to fund the program projects. Two of the first URS assignments demonstrate the breadth of our support to SWA. URS independently evaluated pending claims and performed a schedule analysis for a critical transfer station project that was already under construction and was behind schedule when URS was contracted. URS then assisted SWA with termination strategies, procurement to engage a contractor to complete the work, and is supporting mediation/litigation preparation. The second project required relocation of the Materials Recycling Facility to allow expansion of the landfill. The timeframe was too short for a conventional design/bid/build approach. URS assisted SWA in developing a design build qualification based selection procurement process for the project. The project is currently under construction and is scheduled to be complete in time to allow critical landfill cell expansion. 2-18 I co 3 g 2 URS City of Sunny Isles Beach: Special Inspection Services RFO No. 11-07-11 C 2.6 PROFESSIONAL PERMITTING PROCESSOR AND COORDINATION WITH AHJs URS has a long history of providing environmental design and permitting services to clients throughout the state of Florida.

This study also evaluated various dredging disposal options being considered for the highly developed residential area surrounding the lake. Precast Prestressed Pilinq Installation - Piles for the fishing pier and bridge structures will likely require driven precast, prestressed piling. Such piling normally requires Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) testing to evaluate vertical capacity and to provide installation pile driving criteria for the pile driving contractor. If such PDA Testing services are not specified to be provided by the selected project Contractor, URS staff have the PDA testing equipment and are presently providing such PDA testing services to FDOT bridge projects on a regular basis. 2-22 I c' :: g ." c c c City of Sunny Isles Beach: Special Inspection Services RFO No. 11-07-11 URS staff are highly experienced in performing and/or reviewing the ancillary CAPWAP analysis of PDA data generated by the PDA testing equipment. This PDA testing and CAPWAP analysis and/or review work of same would be performed under the direction of Mr. Micheal Sharp, PE as the technical Special Inspector for such piling installation. Mr. Sharp is extensively experienced in such work and presently provides such PDA testing services on FDOT Districtwide PDA testing contracts based out of the URS Tampa, FL office. In addition to the PDA testing, it will be necessary to monitor the pile driving operations and to record the pile driving resistance or blow counts per foot of driving during installation. URS staff have FDOT Pile Driving Certifications necessary to provide these services. Vibration and Settlement Monitorinq Services - During pile driving activities, it is common for URS to provide Vibration Monitoring and Settlement monitoring surveys during piling installation activities primarily when drive pilings are being installed. URS owns and operates four ( 4) vibration monitors as well as survey level and rod equipment needed to provide such monitoring services. Vibration monitoring criteria normally requires that vibrations imparted to adjacent structures not exceed a vibration level greater than 0.5 inches/sec. Experience indicates that this vibration level is capable of being felt by adjacent landowners and occupants thereof and may be sufficient to cause minor hairline cracking of older more lightly reinforced structures - particularly where block construction was used in the building. Depending on the location of the pile driving, distance to the adjacent structures and nature/age of the nearby adjacent structures, lower vibration monitoring criteria may be appropriate to be specified to avoid or minimized minor damage to adjacent buildings as well as to minimize complaint calls to the City. Geotechnical Drillinq and Samplinq/Laboratorv Testinq Services - As previously indicated, URS has been providing geotechnical design services to numerous high rise projects in the Sunny Isles Beach area for over 15 years.

Our Quality Policy Manual defines the Quality Management System to be compliant to ISO 9001 (ANSI/ISO/ASQ Q9001: 2000) and regulates all disciplines at all levels within URS. Copies of this Confidential Plan can be made available upon request. The following discussions present highlights of important components of the plan. The URS Boca Raton Quality Manager, Mr. William Travis and the individual Scope Project Managers are responsible for the effective implementation and maintenance of the Quality Management System. URS Corporate Quality Statement QUALITY STATEMENT: We are committed to serving our clients, shareholders and employees by: c · Providing Superior Value and Quality Work Products and Services, On-time- the First Time; · Implementing a Quality Management System That is Employee Empowered and Management Driven; and · Continually Improving Our Quality Management Processes. Date: May 12, 2010 Signed: Gary Jandegian President, URS Infrastructure and Environment Division 4.1 DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT QUALITY PLAN ELEMENTS c URS Project Deliverable Quality is assured through a documented plan that identifies the applied elements of the Quality Control/Quality Assurance Program that are applicable to any assigned task. The URS plan can be modified to address particular task or assignments based on the scope of services to be provided, however, all contain the several fundamental quality control elements: 4-1 I p 2 g e URS C 4.1.1 Quality Planning/Project Control Project-specific Quality Plans are developed as part of the PMP as necessary, and are an integral part of the Quality Management System. Project-specific Quality plans are used to define how URS will meet our client's specific project requirements. Documented procedures describe all planning activities. Quality plans address required quality activities, acceptance criteria, key stages of project development, responsibilities and authorities, and documentation requirements. Documented procedures ensure that all required quality activities have been performed satisfactorily by qualified personnel prior to the release of the deliverable. Quality activities include Detail Checking, Independent Technical Review, Drawing/Specification Checking, Coordination Review, Calculation Checking, or other reviews or checks as deemed necessary by the Project Manager or Quality Manager. City of Sunny Isles Beach: Special Inspection Services RFQ No. 11-07-11 4.1.2 Deliverable QAlQC key activity of the Project Quality Assurance Program during the Deliverable Development process is the performance of required Detailed Checking of the data input and deliverables and the performance of Independent Technical Reviews of deliverable work products. c IE Quality Management System Volume 3 Qualify !nqruntnn~ Provides details 011 how Cl'II.1in ,llliol1s must hr jlrrforrnf'cf Volume 4 QUi:llity f urm~ !linVille'') ltJfm\ ;lIld templates .

At specific milestones identified at the beginning of each assignment, QA reviewers will be required to document the review comments, sign-off on completion of the deliverable(s), and place a record of the review in the project's quality review records file. · Project Reviews - Prior to submittal of major deliverables, the QA reviewer will conduct an independent overview of the plans and calculations. This is in addition to routine QC check reviews that are conducted throughout the design process. Work that does not meet internal quality standards will be noted and changed accordingly. Subsequent to the reviews, the Project Manager will prepare documentation recording the basis of the reviews, the specific items that were reviewed, the findings of the review, and any follow-up required. · Detail Checking - Detail checking is a quality control procedure whereby all technical analysis and technical assessment and other information of a produced deliverable is checked and verified for correctness, completeness and checked for technical accuracy. The checking is normally performed by Senior Professionals who are independent from the originator of the document to be checked, but part of the project team as assigned by the Project Manager. Data checking may be performed by more junior more cost effective staff. · Independent and Technical Reviews - All substantive work performed or identified as a significant deliverable, will undergo an Independent Technical Review (ITR). Independent Technical Reviews are intended to assure that the technical approach, testing and work products are consistent with the City's and industry approaches and practices and that proper analytical and evaluations have been performed to technically support the evolved work product. Senior technical personnel, not directly involved in the work product preparation process will perform ITRs. In many instances, these personnel may be brought into or engaged from other URS offices distant to the project to assure their reviews are independent from the work product evolution process and activities. ITRs can be performed as part of the detailed deliverable process and/or can be performed as part of any Value Engineering process. 4.1.3 Document and Data Control Documented procedures are in place describing the preparation and control of documentation within the Quality Management System. The procedure defines the controls for: · Approving documents for adequacy prior to issue · Review, update and re-approval of documents · Change control and the current revision status of documents · Accessibility of relevant versions of applicable documents · Legibility and positive identification of Quality Management System documentation · Prevention of the unintended use of obsolete documents 4-3 I p 3 g E URS c /'" ~ c City of Sunny Isles Beach: Special Inspection Services RFQ No. 11-07-11 A project file system is set up and maintained in a central office location. The project file will contain all original hard copy and digital project documentation in accordance with local office procedures. 4.1.4 Control of Quality Records Quality records provide evidence of conformity to the requirements, and effective operation of the Quality Management System. A documented procedure exists which defines the controls needed for the identification, storage, protection, retrieval, retention times and disposition of quality records. 4.1.5 Procurement Quality Subconsultant and subcontracted services are all evaluated based on subcontractor's technical expertise and proven ability to meet contractual requirements. Purchasing/contractual documents shall contain data clearly describing the product or service ordered, including scope of work, technical requirements, professional liability, qualifications of personnel, Quality Management System requirements. Procedures are in place that requires procured services to be verified. The procured service must meet contractual requirements.

The purpose of this review will be to solicit City feedback at upper office Management Levels regarding contract performance or other issues requiring attention by senior URS management. r' .....,. c 4-5 I P 2 g e URS City of Sunny Isles Beach: Special Inspection Services RFQ No. 11-07-11 C SECTION 5.0 APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY c c Our approach, rationale and methodology to successfully providing professional engineering and project construction management services is based upon fundamental URS corporate principles and philosophies guiding our engineering design, construction support and administrative practices. URS has a demonstrated history of proven successes in achieving project scope, schedule, cost and quality objectives that is accomplished by providing an experienced and qualified team supported by the full suite of technical skills, analytical tools and corporate oversight that can deliver technically correct, timely and cost effective work products and completed construction projects for each assignment. 5.1 GUIDING APPROACH PRINCIPLES AND PHILOSOPHIES Our guiding principles and philosophies to our approach include following: · Be guided by the City's needs and goals for the overall project assignment scope, deliverable schedule, funding constraints and prerequisite level of quality, · Fully Understand the City's expectations and develop management, technical and deliverable work plans to address and meet these expectations, · Follow the City's processes, guidelines and procedures so that engineering and construction projects are completed in compliance with accepted guidance criteria and City directives, · Furnish superior technical knowledge and experienced personnel in all the required technical discipline and support engineering fields required of this RFP, · Provide strong OAfOC to assure a quality, technically correct and accurate deliverable project, · Provide strong project management and priority service with dedicated staff capable of recognizing the City's administrative requirements and needs for scheduling, cost tracking, reporting and invoicing; working closely with the City's personnel, · Work as a seamless extension of City staff in dealing with the general public, landowners, stakeholders as well as other internal City staff, · Apply our extensive experience gained from outreach to landowners, stakeholders and regulatory agencies in dealing with complex land, access and right of way issues involved with construction projects, · Utilize proven experience and documented procedures to expedite the attainment of federal, state and local permits. As an example of our expertise in the permitting arena, URS developed and published FOOT's current standard procedure for expediting PO&E permits for complex roadway projects, · Utilize standard industry cost data to provide comprehensive and accurate cost estimating. · Provide comparative cost estimating and value engineering cost benefit analyses where needed for alternative design reviews and selection processes. Using these overriding principles and philosophies, integrated into a team approach, URS has developed and provided a wide range of professional services for projects for both public and private clients and we will be able to administer the work to help the City of Sunny Isles Beach achieve its goals. 5-1 I P c !2 e URS c City of Sunny Isles Beach: Special Inspection Services RFQNo.11-07-11 5.2 PROJECT MANAGEMENT CONTROLS URS recognizes the importance of well-defined and competently administered project management system for the successful and timely execution of the project within the City's technical, schedule, budget and quality objectives. To meet these needs, URS has developed and implements for each project a client prioritized and focused project management approach, supported by a timely detailed cost management system which utilizes URS industry-based software to provide the framework and control to successfully manage this contract and associated work tasks. Key components of our project management capabilities include: c · An organizational structure that meet the unique requirements of each specific project. · Project schedule, budgets and staffing plans identified in a Project Management Plan (PMP) and project specific plans that initially identifies and establishes project baseline controls against which project or task progress is measured, evaluated and reported to the City. · Internal Management processes for monitoring and controlling the project, and · Proven techniques to effectively communicate project or task progress and results to the URS project team, the City and the QA independent technical review team. · Implementation of a Comprehensive OA/OC Program that assures that project deliverables are clean, complete and technically correct so as to minimize risks to the City resulting from unforeseen construction phase claims. Our proactive management approach will establish clear lines of communication between the City and within the project team, provide well defined areas of responsibility for each work task and work activity, allocate and update URS Team resource needs and provide a professional experienced project management team to ensure the control of each work activity. This management approach includes integrated planning, designing, scheduling, communication protocol, quality control and cost control systems based on an overall Project Management Plan for the contract. 5.3 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN PREPARATION Project Management Plan To facilitate project organizational control and communication, URS will initially prepare and implement a documented Project Management Plan (PMP) for this contract. The plan will contain the following items: c · City Information and Contacts · Project Organization Chart · Work Plan Development Process(es) · Design Development Process(es) (As Applicable) · Communications Protocols w/City Staff, Subcontractors and External Entities · Performance Monitoring Protocols and Controls 5-2 I :; :0 g e URS c c c City of Sunny Isles Beach: Special Inspection Services RFQ No. 11-07-11 . Progress Reporting Requirements Contracting and Control of Subcontractors Project Quality Assurance/Quality Control Processes Independent Technical Review Requirements Project Documentation Control/Retention Project CAD Standards Work Products/Deliverables and Deadline Dates . . . . . . This Plan then becomes the baseline Project Management Control document providing organizational control, guidance and information for implementation of the various Work Orders to be assigned to URS during the duration of the contract. Project specific PMPs will be refined to establish budget, scope, and schedule, and identify interactions with the City staff, within URS and with required contractors as well any outside agencies or other client identified entities. The Plan documents and describes the individual work tasks, subconsultant assignments and identifies the sequence of activities associated with successfully completing the work within the projects scope, schedule, budget and level of quality objectives. The Plan will clearly identify work activities to be executed by URS, our subcontractors as well as the interrelated coordination activities with the City. Proiect Communication and Coordination URS recognizes the need for and importance of frequent and open communication with City staff as well as effective communication with the design team members. URS will utilize a communication protocol, which utilizes the project manager as the primary point of contact for the project. All formal contractual communication to the City would flow through this point of contact. Day-to-day contact on technical matters however, may also Occur at the project technical lead levels between URS staff and project design consultants already engaged by the City. To facilitate communication and coordination with the City and design team members, frequent scheduled meetings with Staff will be proposed to monitor and report on the status of the work and to coordinate other issues such as management and scheduling critical to each task. Periodic meetings with senior URS and City management will be requested to obtain feedback on overall URS performance as a client satisfaction and wellness check. URS fully understands, and appreciates the need to perform as a seamless extension of City staff in representing and providing information to entities outside of the City. URS also recognizes that the City staff and design consultants also has considerable knowledge, experience and capable professional staff with valuable knowledge and background applicable to all City projects. URS views and considers the City staff to represent a key and critical team member to the successful implementation and completion of any particular project assignment. It is important that the City staff be an active participant in the work implementation process with design consultants. Our approach is to utilize a "technical outreach" philosophy with the City staff and project design consultants by scheduling initial design review workshops, attending monthly meetings, and subsequent periodic Deliverable Development Reviews at predetermined levels with City Staff. 5-3 I ? (' S e URS City of Sunny Isles Beach: Special Inspection Services RFQNo.11-07-11 c The URS Team will provide technical data, preliminary analysis and work products with focused communications to: · Exchange technical data, analyses and analytical results · Develop a regular forum for exchange of technical information and reviews · Solicit City staff and project design consultant experience and background knowledge on "what has worked" and "what has not worked" for various aspects or components of the work order · Identify and Track work order progress issues and their resolution · Provide periodic meetings for technical Team/City coordination The Technical Outreach Program is considered to be a critical and highly important aspect to achieve the City's objectives with each individual sub-design within the overall contract. This approach has the distinct advantage of soliciting and incorporating URSs and the City's knowledge, experience, expertise and input into the design development process. Our goal is to provide deliverables that are concise and technically acceptable to the City staff as well as to the regulatory agencies. Subconsultant Manaqement As prime designer and project program manager, URS knows that the City will expect no less from URS than they do from their subconsultants. The high standards we set for our internal design efforts will be utilized to evaluate existing designs so that bid documents meet or exceed City requirements. Subconsultant qualification is normally based on the following criteria: c · Technical expertise in require discipline · Ability to perform assigned scope and meet project milestones · Proximity to the anticipated work site(s) · Reasonable cost estimate · Small Business Enterprise (SBE) status Frequent Su bconsultant Communication and Progress Review is Critical to Timely Preparation of Quality Deliverables URS will be responsible for overall subconsultant management, administration, and reporting of progress. Reporting requirements, communication requirements, quality assurance, and cost and schedule control would be implemented through URS. Subconsultants and their staffs will provide interim technical deliverables, progress reports, and draft and final technical reports on a routine basis as required by the City and any particular work assignment. Subconsultant technical deliverables will be submitted to URS technical design staff for review and comment just as our internal technical deliverables are subjected to QA review, prior to incorporation into final deliverables to the City for bidding purposes. c In the course of any work authorization, subconsultants will be required to immediately notify the URS project manager of any anticipated change in scope of work, costs, or schedules. This notification must be in writing and will be forwarded to the City within 24 hours of receipt. All requested changes must first be approved by the City project manager and then executed by written authorization of the URS project manager and City of Sunny Isles Beach Procurement Department. I Early Identification of Problems and Resolution Processes are a Key Factor to Responsible Subcontractor Management "l 5-4 I p 2 g e URS c c c City of Sunny Isles Beach: Special Inspection Services RFQ No. 11-07-11 5.4 CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION The most successful construction projects start with good planning and coordination. URS will approach each project, by scheduling early meetings involving the contractor, design engineer, necessary subcontractors, City staff, utility companies, regulatory agencies and others associated or impacted by the project. Before each major work item begins, the project manager will meet with our field inspection staff to discuss day-to-day operations and the importance of quality. URS will hold weekly staff meetings to review the contractor's two-week look-ahead schedule and discuss staff assignments for the next week. Good planning must continue throughout the project duration. In the past we have found that these meetings when handled in a proactive manner, build a relationship between those involved, establish a line of communications at the lowest level, and are the beginning of a trust and partnering between all involved in the project design and construction. The URS Team is totally and faithfully committed to serve as City's advocate and representative for this contract. Our project team has a proven, take-charge, solve-it-now, solve-it-here attitude. We are committed professionals and will be completely dedicated to the successful on time and within budget completion of any assignment. URS desire and intent is to identify issues or problems early and to develop a resolution with the Contractor before any work was started. The proactive early identification and resolution of issues keeps problems and the potential for claims to a minimum. URS absolutely will not broker independent decisions of a cost impact nature to the City. The City will always have our recommended solution and anticipated cost impact to any problem that arises before it is discussed with the contractor. Where alternative approaches to construction are possible, the pros and cons of all alternatives will be reviewed and our recommended action given promptly to City. We consider this an absolutely essential element of the timely and cost-effective completion of construction projects. The URS team has an outstanding group of seasoned local professionals with strong major bridge design and construction experience. URS will mobilize special inspectors or their designated field representatives to the project when needed, and remove them from the project when not needed. Our project and construction managers and designated special inspectors are licensed Florida Professional Engineers. Also, the lead inspectors will have FOOT, American Concrete Institute and Earthwork CEI Certificates as appropriate, to continuously maintain and update their knowledge on applicable codes and testing practices. 5.5 PROJECT ADMINISTRATION TO MEET PROJECT FUNDING AND TIMELlNE CONSTRAINTS URS administrative procedures provide a system to monitor project costs and progress to enable the project manager to evaluate the timeliness and cost effectiveness of the progress of the work. The basic element of the management control process in the URS Loaded Cost Summary Reports (LCSR), a URS developed and proprietary, computerized Management Information System (MIS) for financial management and control of projects. The LCSRs are designed to assist the Project Manager control the scheduling, technical, manpower, and financial aspects of their project. The system provides the Project Managers 5-5 I :; ;:; ~ Q . ~. E '- URS c City of Sunny Isles Beach: Special Inspection Services RFQ No. 11-07-11 with real time financial information. Financial information for a particular week (through Friday) is available the following Monday. The system supplies the following information on a weekly basis: · Project personnel working on the task · Office location · Hours billed for that week, by task, and accrued cost/hours-to-date · Labor amount expended · Equipment costs expended · Direct (non-labor) expenses · Total task and project expenditures The LCSR system monitors the use of budget items and costs and keeps track of the projects account balance. The system assists in early identification of problem areas so that the management team can implement timely and cost-effective solutions, or corrective measures, as required. 5.6 SCHEDULE CONTROLS c Scheduling provides the framework for effective project management by logically combining the scope, schedule and budget together. The firm utilizes industry-standard scheduling software (Microsoft Project, Primavera Project Schedule) to identify and monitor program activities, cost and schedule. URS most often utilizes the Primavera Scheduling software to establish the project construction schedule for various clients using the Critical Path Method (CPM) to identify the most efficient completion path. In using the CPM approach, URS will identify all major activities and deliverables on the schedule. Deliverable submittal dates and major project events are classified as project milestones. The activities required to meet these milestone dates are identified and logically scheduled to support their achievement. Two areas of particular importance are the identification of all applicable review and comment cycles, and the consideration of all external constraints put on the schedule by third parties for which there may be little or no control with respect to their performance, but that have a significant impact on project progress. The vast majority of our projects are completed on schedule and within budget. When projects are delayed, it is typically due to unforeseen circumstances. Modifications to project budgets are only requested when there is clearly a change in project services. The capability to meet deadlines is determined by 5 factors: · Project Management Plan - Our standard practice for all projects is to develop a Project Management Plan at the start of each project assignment that includes identified Task Managers, a detailed scope of work and a schedule for each work task, as well as communications, progress reporting and coordination protocols for avoiding problems between tasks. · Knowledge and Experience of the Project Team - We have selected and will assign Project Team members who are well qualified for their assignments, have the necessary experience in similar projects, and are interested and committed to their assignments. · Availability of the Project Team Members - We have examined our current and anticipated C workload commitments over the period anticipated for the project and have confirmed that the 5-6 If:.;:; ;: c URS City of Sunny Isles Beach: Special Inspection Services RFQ No. 11-07.11 c staff members we propose to assign have sufficient time available to properly execute any assigned work. . Availability of Supplemental Staff - Our staffing approach for projects always includes assessments as necessary to provide back-up staffing for all key leadership and technical discipline functions. · Strict adherence to Budget and Sub-deliverable Deadlines - Our standard practice is to develop a series of sub-deliverable progress deadlines and then to measure their progress against a pre-established budget. This process allows us to make adjustments during the in- progress work to assure compliance with formal deliverable submittals and deadlines. URS can provide schedule, cost and performance analysis at various levels of detail and sophistication. These range from developing a simple Gant Bar Chart to utilization of industry standard project management scheduling software. Programs such as Time Line, Microsoft Project, or Primavera (P3) software are available for use on this contract as required. Several personnel in the local Boca Raton office are Primavera (P3) software trained and certified. Construction Phase Scheduling services consists of three main tasks: c . Review of good baseline schedules should be reviewed to ensure that they conform to contractual requirements. They shall represent a complete project scope, reasonable activity durations, and proper logic ties. Schedules should not have unnecessary constraints or sequestered float. Cost-loaded schedules shall have reasonable costs and resource loading when these items are utilized. URS baseline schedule reviews often times require detailed back and forth discussions with the contractor's scheduler to ensure a proper baseline schedule is provided. All issues must be resolved before the baseline schedule can be accepted. . Review of monthly progress schedules are reviewed in much the same way. Primavera P3e, including Claim Digger software is used to document any changes. This software compares the monthly submitted schedule update against the previously approved schedule to ensure that any changes to activities, durations, logic, constraints, etc. are documented. Activities are reviewed for work completed, work in progress, items behind schedule, major problems, logic revisions, etc. and a monthly narrative should be provided. Actual progress is verified with field staff, site walkthroughs, and daily reports and compared against the recorded progress in the monthly schedule update. Any issues in dispute are addressed and resolved before the schedule is accepted. Resolution of monthly schedule issues is often a time critical task since it is usually contractually mandatory to have an acceptable schedule update before making monthly progress payments. We understand the importance of resolving schedule issues so we often work with the general contractor's scheduling staff on a time critical basis to maintain the project progress. · Review of revisions and delay schedules often affect specific activities that must be discreetly analyzed. Schedule revisions may be generated because of out of sequence progress or delays or simply to correct a previously undetected error. Any delay issues must be properly inserted into the logic in a way that accurately depicts the nature of the delay. ~ '--" 5-7 I P " g e URS c r' '-'" c City of Sunny Isles Beach: Special Inspection Services RFQ No. 11-07-11 URS claims review experience includes a wide variety of project types and types of claims made by contractors today. We have provided support to owners in the form of forensic scheduling, documents preparation and review, expert witness testimony I depositions, eminent domain valuations, and damages and delays assessments. Additionally URS can provide supplemental staff support on an as needed basis to the field CM team for pay request and change order reviews. 5.7 BUDGET CONTROLS URS maintains rigorous internal administrative procedures and systems to monitor the labor utilization and financial expenditures of each project. The internal systems enable the project manager and their administrative assistants/billers to evaluate the timeliness and cost effectiveness of technical progress on any authorization. The basic element of the management control process is the URS Enterprise One (EPO), a proprietary, computerized Management Information System for financial management and control of projects. The EPO is designed to assist the project manager in control of the scheduling, technical, manpower, and financial aspects of their project. The system provides the project managers with real-time financial information. Financial information for a particular week (through Friday) is available the following Monday. The system is in place at all URS office locations worldwide and supplies the following information on a weekly basis: · Project personnel working on the task · Office location . Hours billed for that week · Task and accrued cost/hours-to-date . Labor amount · Equipment costs · Direct expenses · Total expenditures Standard summary documents produced by the EPO include the Weekly Job Detail Report and the Weekly Job Summary Report. These reports are two of several financial reports that can be produced as a function of the specific requirements of the project. The Job Summary Report, a detailed report issued on a weekly basis, contains "to-date" labor charges, expense charges, equipment charges, to-date budgets, and budget-to-actual comparisons. Charges are summarized by operation, with a subtotal by increment and an overall job total. Only operations that have current charges are printed. The to-date amounts are displayed by type (labor, expenses, and equipment) and summarized. The abovementioned EPO will be utilized to monitor all City projects on a weekly basis. Any cost reports requested by the City will be provided. The EPO will also publish clear and concise invoicing. 5.8 COST ESTIMATING CONTROLS Consistent with URS' previous experience on major design and construction projects, it is common for cost estimates to be developed during the various phases of the design and construction work, particularly for larger sized projects, in order to be able to plan for, budget and control the project's construction cost. URS 58In_,-~ - r-- -:: c; t: URS c c c City of Sunny Isles Beach: Special Inspection Services RFQ No. 11-07-11 is able to accurately estimate the cost of the work, modify design as needed while working in conjunction with the City needs. URS objective will be to assure that the final design product is within the initial construction cost budget established by the City. URS will prepare, as requested, detailed opinions of construction costs reports either during the design or construction phases of the project based upon the various completion schedules for the work. Typically, opinion of construction costs can be and have been provided by URS at any of the following deliverable milestones: Opinion of Costs Deliverables: · Conceptual or Basis of Design Report . 30% General Design Report (Preliminary Design Phase) · 60% Detailed Design Report (Design Development Phase) · 90% Final Design Submittal (Pre-final Design Submittal) · 100% Final Design/Construction Bid Documents · Construction Phase in Response to Design Change Requests · Construction Phase in Response to Construction Claims Evaluations For small to medium projects, the conceptual, 30% and 60% submittals are not typically required and the estimate is based on the 90% design submittal. The URS Team shall use a clear and concise estimating formats that depicts in detail the breakdown of the job, unit costs, quantity take offs and all markups applied to the costs. The URS Team will review unit costs of any prior-constructed projects in the City records and local construction market factors in the preparation of the detailed opinion of costs. An appropriate contingency, developed in consultation with the City's Project Controls Division, shall be applied to the cost estimate. The URS Team shall compare each cost estimate with the prior opinion of cost to identify and account for discrepancies. Each cost opinion shall be reviewed with the City PM and appropriate City staff to discuss assumptions used and results. Estimates will be prepared using City-approved estimating software allowing for various formats and organization of the output to accommodate city project controls, project management and construction administration staff needs. As required, detailed recommendations will be made for corrective design actions and modifications, including such things as alternative design recommendations, to keep the project on track with the City budget/funding allocations. 5.9 COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE CODES AND PERMITS The URS group of construction engineers and inspectors has local experience and background with federal and local environmental permitting and compliance monitoring. Compliance with applicable permit requirements will be evaluated, documented, and corrective actions identified prior to and during construction to ensure permits compliance issues do not impact project construction and project implementation. URS would lead these permit expediting efforts by developing and maintaining a project permits status file/matrix to track the expiration dates and advise the City of the need for any necessary permit extension in a timely manner. 5-9 I P 2 g (CO URS c c c City of Sunny Isles Beach: Special Inspection Services RFQ No. 11-07-11 5.10 SAFETY COMPLIANCE URS understands that for a project to be successful it must be completed without injury to any member of the construction team (CITY, CEI and Contractor) or any customer. URS also understands that it is not the responsibility of the construction management to enforce the Contractor's safety program; however, it is URS policy that all construction team members shall work in a safe environment. If necessary, we will refrain from putting our team members in construction environments where serious safety concerns or issues exist. We will partner with the Contractor to discuss safety concerns at our weekly meetings. URS will take care to guard against any unsafe conditions that might threaten motorists and pedestrians who continue to use the facilities during construction. URS will bring such conditions to the attention of those responsible for their resolution in a timely manner. In the final analysis, construction safety is everyone's responsibility. 5-10 I Peg z:: URS City of Sunny Isles Beach: Special Inspection Services RFO No. 11-07-11 c SECTION 6.0 REFERENCES Presented below is contact information for the select individuals who have managed URS / EC Driver bridge/construction management projects.
