well as equipment needed on each project as it applies to the JEA policies and procedures. He
coordinates with JEA Project Managers, utility company personnel, city and county municipalities as well as
private companies and public landowners to ensure project partnering, This project is the second district
wide SUE contract with JEA; to-date -150 individual projects have been successfully completed. Below is
a sampling of project specific assignments:
. Argyle Forest Boulevard: The client engaged FRA after numerous utility conflicts were discovered on
an earlier phase of this roadway-widening project. An investment in SUE locates allowed the current
phase to proceed with fewer delays, and a better budget.
. Oakwood Villas: Over 100 test holes were done to predetermine underground conflicts and allow the
design of new utilities in a less disruptive manner, The client believes it receives more competitive
bids once SUE locates are performed.
. Scott Mill Road: Design of a vacuum sewer system. SUE locates minimized conflicts with existing
utilities and afforded more competitive bids.

ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE
Geotechnical engineer with more than 25 years of experience with transportation, industrial, ports, and civil projects. His
experience includes design, planning, execution of new geotechnical projects and the remedial procedures to correct
foundation problems of existing structures, extensive involvement with axial and lateral pile analyses, slope stability
evaluation on retaining walls and embankment projects using geogrid layers. Other specialties include design of numerous
retaining walls types such as mechanically stabilized earth, reinforced concrete, sheet pile cantilever and anchored walls.
)
RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
PLANNING, ANALYSIS, EXECUTION AND REVIEW OF GEOTECHNICAL PROJECTS
During the past 20 years, he assisted in, as well as supervised over 1200 geotechnical explorations and construction
monitoring projects ranging from one story structures such as industrial and commercial facilities to more complex
projects including high-rise buildings, several roadway and bridge foundation evaluations, one elevated light rail people
mover, two extensions to the existing metrorail, and two tunnel evaluation projects. Extensive experience with shallow
foundations bearing on both soil and natural rock. Responsible for geotechnical recommendations for deep foundations
on soil, weathered and hard rocks and a combination of soil/rock conditions for projects in south Florida. Deep
foundation system recommendations have typically consisted of driven piles, redundant and non-redundant drilled
shafts, augercast piles, Franki piles, pin-piles and micropiles.
SHALLOW FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS AND EVALUATIONS
Shallow foundations on fill soils generally included the removal of unsuitable soils and their replacement with structural
fills. Shallow foundations bearing on the South Florida Limestone generally included a special foundation preparation
consisting of cleaning of the cavities in the rock and filling with lean concrete. Shallow foundation types ranged from strip
and individual footings for several multi-story buildings, telecommunication towers, for support of the piers for an
elevated people mover, an extension of the Metrorail Transit System, and FOOT bridge piers. Bearing capacity and
settlement evaluations have been an integral part of preparing shallow foundation recommendations for most structures.
Mr. Ramos has been involved with roadway projects requiring evaluation of embankments bearing on soft soils, in
particular the widening of five miles of State Road 5 (U.S. 1) near Key Largo. The stability of the new embankments was
provided with geogrid layers.
DEEP FOUNDATION SYSTEM RECOMMENDATIONS
Deep foundation system recommendations have typically consisted of driven piles, augercast piles, Franki piles,
pin-piles, micropiles and drilled shafts. He has recommended augercast piles to pile lengths up to 110 feet and drill
shafts with diameters up to 9 feet, lengths up to 80 feet and capacity of about 1400 tons in friction, drilled over water, and
driven piles with sections up to 30 inches by 30 inches, and lengths up to 130 feet and capacities of 300 tons for bridge
support. These foundation alternatives have been recommended for several major structures in South Florida, including
a 62-story high-rise building in downtown Miami, a 70-foot high new MacArthur bridge, and numerous mono shafts for
support of telecommunication towers up to 200 feet in height and an extension of the Metrorail in Miami.
SLOPE STABILITY SETTLEMENT ANALYSIS
Mr. Ramos has also been responsible for planning, analyzing data and providing recommendations for slope stability
and settlement analysis for numerous projects. He has recommended MSE, reinforced concrete, sheet pile, cantilever
and anchored walls. His experience has included the design of driven piles; concrete panels cantilever retaining walls

4.APPROACHjMETHODOLOGY
In preparation for this proposal, RJ Behar has collected available information including aerial photos, land
use maps, soil maps, salt water intrusion line maps, Federal Emergency Flood maps, zoning maps,
wetland maps, contaminated site maps, groundwater level maps, previous stormwater drainage studies in
nearby areas, and construction plans of adjacent projects We have also visited the site, contacted the
Sunshine One call for a list of utilities in the area, contacted the City of Sunny Isles Maintenance, Miami
Dade County Department of Environmental Protection (DERM), and contacted and reviewed the permit
files of the South Florida Water Management District. Based on the information collected, we have
prepared this approach to the project.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
This contract is for the preparation of 100% complete design development for the construction of a
drainage system along 174th Street (see attached aerial) from Collins Avenue west to just beyond the first
complex curve. The envisioned drainage system shall alleviate the stormwater runoff on the roadway in the
area.
The existing drainage consists mainly of curb inlets and valley gutter inlets located on both sides of the
street. The system is maintained by the City of Sunny Isles Beach Stormwater and Street Maintenance
Department. The stormwater system receives runoff from the roadway and some offsite areas, between
Collins Avenue and east of North
Bay Road. We made an effort to
obtain existing as-built plans of the
stormwater system but they were
not available.
)
During our site visit, which was just
after a storm event, we noted that
there was standing water at
depressed areas located on the
southbound side of the street
approximately at 230 174th Street,
Tower 300. There are no drainage structures at these low points to
collect the runoff, The pavement is also cracked and deteriorated,
See pictures 1 and 3.
Information related to the existing drainage system design, including
plan layout, drainage maps and calculations were not available, Even
though the existing drainage system is maintained by the City of
Sunny Isles Beach, the stormwater system was built when it was part
of unincorporated Miami Dade County, We will make an extra effort to
try to locate this information during the design phase.

There is an existing canal south of 174th Street. The canal has mangrove vegetation and has
been identified as a wetland in the General Permit application Number 050214-5 with SFWMD. The
vegetated area is known to contain wetlands capable of sustaining halophytic vegetation (i.e. coastal
wetlands) and has been documented to include mangroves. This wetland could be impacted by the
proposed project if an outfall is proposed to this canal.
ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
RJ Behar is a multidisciplinary Engineering firm specializing in civil engineering, stormwater master
planning, drainage improvements, transportation planning, traffic engineering, roadway design, water and
sanitary engineering, utilities engineering and construction management. We are extremely qualified for
this project and have designed miles of French drains and hundreds of injection wells, Mr. Juan H
Vazquez, PE, our proposed Project Manager, was coauthor of the Florida Department of Transportation
Exfiltration Systems Design Manual and specifically wrote the Injection well design portion of the manual.
Our Design Approach will follow the steps listed below:
1. COMPLETE DA TA COLLECTION
We have gathered a considerable amount of available information for this project. During design we will
obtain any other available information needed. We propose to research the files of regulatory agencies
having jurisdiction in the project area. This information should serve as a baseline of the drainage design
improvements which will lead us to the best approach.
)
Geotechnical exploration will be necessary to obtain data necessary to perform the required percolation
analysis and to design the proposed improvements. The firm of HR Engineering (HRES) will be in charge
of these services. They are located in Miami-Dade County and have ample experience with soil conditions
in the area. We have worked together with HRES in more than 50 projects. They have indicated that the
percolation maybe around 10-5 to 10-6 west of Collins Avenue. Data will be necessary for design of any
injection wells. We have developed relationships with local well drillers that have data of injection capacities
in the area, From previous permits in the area, we have found that there are wells in the proximity of the
project. The design capacity of those injection wells was 750 gpm per foot of head. This is considered a
good discharge capacity,
Survey information will be necessary to develop drainage design and construction plans. FR Aleman will
be in charge of topographic surveys, easement descriptions and plans, and utility explorations (SUE
services). We have worked with them on several projects, Mr. Fernando Z. Gatell, P,S.M. is the Director of
Surveying & Mapping for F.R. Aleman & Associates, Inc. He is responsible for all related operations. Mr.
Gatell has over 35 years of experience, which covers all of the facets of Surveying and Mapping, from
complicated boundary disputes to right-of-way, engineering, design, environmental, GPS, construction and
specialized surveys.
Also, a field visit will be conducted to familiarize the staff with critical areas that need particular attention
and to identify any conditions that were not included in the data collection. The field visit will focus on
identifying major factors contributing to the flooding sources through observation and interviewing with
residents. The field reconnaissance will serve to establish drainage area boundaries and patterns.

y Determine existing drainage patterns of the site.
y Determine hydrologic characteristics for the sub-basins, including soil characteristics, groundwater
levels, surface area, land use characteristics, slope, flow directions, vegetative cover, times of
concentration, existing storage areas, swales and existing drainage structures.
y Determine outfall discharges and flood stages of the site under existing conditions. A hydrologic
computer model is developed using determined hydrologic/hydraulic parameters.
y Prepare maps showing existing drainage conditions and systems.
y The existing conditions results will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed alternatives
to alleviate the problem. In addition, current permit criteria require that the predevelopment
discharge or set limited rates are not exceeded after improvements.
3. PREPARE CONCEPTUAL SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN ALTERNATIVES
y Work with the City and permitting agencies to identify proposed stormwater management facilities
and alternatives while minimizing environmental impacts and construction costs,
y Prepare proposed pervious-impervious coverage ratios, stage storage relationships, requirements
and design storm flood stages for each sub-basin.
y The computer models developed for the existing drainage conditions shall be modified to analyze
alternative stormwater management plans, such that it meets regulatory requirements for flood
protection. Post development condition runoff hydrographs, peak discharges and stages are
calculated based on the proposed and selected development plan.
y Preliminary cost estimates will be completed for comparison and evaluation of the effectiveness of
the different alternatives,
y Prepare a Surface Water Management and Improvements Recommendations Report with
documentation and information as may be required by the permitting agencies. The report will
include data collected or generated during previous tasks, Comments will be incorporated into the
Final Report.

AL TERNATIVES
RJ Behar has evaluated several alternatives that could be studied for this project.
A. Implementation of exfiltration (French drains)
systems as a closed system.
This alternative will consist of constructing a French
drain system along the roadway right-of-way
possibly connecting new and existing inlets. Some
of the roadway and sidewalks are in bad condition,
therefore this alternative would be combined with I
partial reconstruction of the roadway to raise some
low areas and re-establish the pavement conditions. !
In order to avoid impacts at the back of sidewalk
profiles, the rest of the street can be milled and
resurfaced maintaining existing elevations.
[III R.).Behar
R. J. BEHAR & COMPANY, INC. I RFQ No. 11-11-02 I 4
In the areas where the new French drains will be constructed, the complete lane will need to
be re-constructed due to the excavations, The percolation values we found in projects near the area
are very low in the range of 10 -5 to 10 -6. Based on these values, this alternative will most likely only
provide marginal improvements. The advantage of this alternative is lower cost and it is more easily
permitted.
-,
B. Implementation of exfiltration systems in combination with injection wells. In this alternative, the
injection well is the disposal system, while the French drains provide water quality treatment prior to
injection. This alternative avoids the need for a new outfall, making it the second easiest to permit and
implement.
)
-
Injection Well
French Drain
! N
Since the percolation in the area is low, this alternative provides for the use of the wells for additional
disposal capacity. Based on the data obtained, we estimate that 2 injection wells will be needed,
The injection well box has an
additional 90 second retention time 'NI A
also for additional water quality and 3 J
sedimentation, In recent projects, we
have noticed the price for these
injection wells has lowered due in part
to the economic situation, making
injection wells a very feasible and also
reasonably economic option.

C. Implementation of exfiltration systems with an outfall to the Town Center Park Canal. This
alternative has the implications of having to obtain a permit for impacts to existing mangroves. We
have prepared mitigation plans and permit packages in the past for mangrove impacts in our SR-A 1 A
project, where we mitigated wetland impacts in a nearby park by scrapping and planting new
mangroves. This alternative was discussed with Miami-Dade County DERM and they expressed that it
could be a feasible alternative.

In both alternatives C and D, there will be a need to inspect the existing seawalls and determine the best
way to perforate the seawalls. We have done this in several recent projects including our SR A 1 A where
we permitted 6 new outfalls to the Intracoastal Waterway. One issue we will coordinate closely is the
maintenance of traffic to minimize impacts to the existing residents and businesses. We have on staff
several FDOT trained and certified members for the preparation Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) Plans.
4. DESIGN/OPINION OF PROBABLE COSTS/SPECIFlCA TION
RJ Behar has prepared designs and construction documents for numerous drainage improvements projects
for South Florida municipalities such as: City of Miami Beach, City of Hialeah, City of Miami, City of Fort
Lauderdale and Town of Davie. Our Stormwater Department provides the services necessary to complete
designs and construction documents, as well as permit services required on this project.
DESIGN PLANS
The preparation of the plans will have a design development portion and a final plans preparation portion.
The desiqn development phase is one of the most important phases since it establishes all the criteria,
concept and scope of the design. We place a lot of emphasis in this phase since a well defined and agreed
concept allows for the following final design phases to proceed on schedule. Final plans preparation will
follow the City's procedures. Normally a 60%, 90% and Final plans submittals are required.

Each phase will have the review and comment period for the City. Once the comments are
addressed and agreed then the next phase proceeds. Cross discipline coordination occurs during the
complete design process as well as during our quality control review. We share plans as they get
developed with our subconsultants involved and the internal team members. This is done through the use
of e-mail, our local area network and FTP sites.
Our preliminary list of drawings is as follows:
. Title/Key Sheet
. Street Typical Sections
. Plan and profile sheets
. Drainage structure sheets
. Miscellaneous Details (Wells, control structures, French drains)

an opinion of the probable costs shall be prepared to compare with the bid proposals submitted by the
contractors. Our key personnel are seasoned professionals whose experience exceeds textbook design.
We maintain a database of historical costs assembled from our extensive involvement in public works
projects. We actively collect cost information in order to continuously update our data. We apply these unit
price costs to estimated quantities to arrive at preliminary estimate of construction costs, It should include
) all the major items of construction and consider the complexity of the construction,
SPECIFICATIONS
Once design and construction plans are completed, project specifications shall be prepared as part of the
construction documents to be presented for bidding phase, The Contractor must prepare the bid based on
construction plans and construction documents. We intend to use the Florida Department of Transportation

) PROJECT MANAGEMENT
1. SCHEDULE, STAFF A VAfLABILlTY AND CAPABILITY
SCHEDULE
RJ Behar is completely familiar with the logic involved in scheduling projects. We utilize Microsoft Projects
and/or Primavera software for scheduling all of our projects, RJ Behar Project Manager will identify all
discrete activities, resources and efforts required for each task, and prepare a schedule on Microsoft
Project. Inputs to the schedule will be activities, duration of each activity, predecessors and successors to
each activity, efforts required to complete each activity, and personnel assigned to successfully complete
each activity.
)
This process will result in a "Project Schedule"
identifying activities which are on the "critical
path" as well as float time in other activities.
This is particularly important because activities
on the "critical path" cannot slip without
adversely impacting the "Project Schedule".
Milestones will be established which RJ Behar
Project Manager will use to monitor all activities
assuring the proper level of staffing to strictly
adhere to the "Project Schedule". Team
meetings will be held on a regular basis to
review progress and assure compliance with the "Project Schedule". Meeting minutes and Progress
Reports can be submitted to the City on a monthly basis. Progress Reports will detail the status of all
activities, those activities completed within the last thirty days and those scheduled for the next thirty-day
period. This enables City staff to be adequately informed and be able to address inquiries from the City
Manager and City Elected Officials, See project schedule on next page for more detail.

CIVIL ENGINEERING SERVICES TO DESIGN STREET AND DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
We have estimated that this project can be completed in a 15-month schedule, This includes
time for City reviews and permitting. If needed, we can work on a more compressed schedule. We
completed the drainage design of 9 segments of the 1-595 improvements in an 8-month period. Normally
each segment would have taken a two year process. The project was a Private-Public-Partnership. We
therefore are capable of working on very stringent schedules and have ample capacity to accomplish this
project.
r)
STAFF
RJ Behar will commit highly competent and experienced professionals to this project. They will be provided
the necessary resources and be held accountable for their results, For each firm in the team we have
established a point of contact for this contract that will start the coordination from each firm to develop the
scope of services, Resumes for the proposed key staff members for this project are included as part of this
proposal and have been identified in the organization chart.
1. ORGANIZA TION
The project manager is the key to a successful project; he is the "CEO" for the technical elements related to
the project. Our project management philosophy is to be proactive, This simply means: to search out
problems and solve them before they can happen. Our Project Manager, Juan H. Vazquez, P.E, has been
involved in numerous design projects over the past 26 years.
)
The organization of the proposed staff is established in our Organization Chart included in section 3 of this
proposal. We have assembled a team of seasoned professionals with supporting staff members to
undertake this contract. This includes all the disciplines requested in the Request for Qualifications.
The management of the team will be the responsibility of the Project Manager. Once the scope is
established the project manager will assemble the team and maintain
the required coordination with all the team members to insure
proper project progress. Quality Control Process
2. QC PLAN
Project efforts can be ineffective and time consuming if
accomplished incorrectly. Our proactive philosophy
emphasizes the early resolution of project issues. An on-going
quality control process goes a long way identifying these key
issues early, R.J. Behar will ensure the quality of its product.
We strongly believe that we are solely accountable for the
delivered product, including the quality of our sub consultants'
product. A synopsis of our quality program is outlined below.
QC Personnel - an autonomous reviewer who is completely
independent from the design teams' staff performs the review,
The personnel chosen is highly experienced in the tasks they
will be reviewing, Committing the appropriate staffing to the
project is the most important quality assurance measure. The

)
quality control team will be lead by our project manager.
QC Reviews - will be separated into three major areas: 1) engineering design review (criteria) 2) plans
preparation/cross reference review 3) constructability review. Providing for these will assure the District the
quality it is paying for. For the review process we have developed check lists of items that must be
included on each type of project.
QC Process - will follow a process, which starts with the 1) design originator, 2) it is sent to a checker, it
goes back to the 3) originator who reviews these and determines which comments are to be implemented.
4) The originator and checker meet to discuss the comments and come to an agreement on the
implementation of the comments. 5) If they cannot come to an agreement the project manager will then
make that determination. 6) Comments are implemented. 7) Plans are back checked. All these steps will
require an initialed and dated by the individual(s) involved.
3. COORDINA TION WITH STAFF AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS
).> BETWEEN RJ BEHAR AND THE CITY
We will keep the City Project Manager well informed of all project issues at all times. Recognizing
that the City project managers may be managing many projects at the same time, we will try to
minimize the staff day-to-day involvement by either 1) obtaining needed information ourselves, 2)
maximizing electronic information transfer (e-mail), 3) conference calls, and 4) prompt meeting
minutes. We will schedule progress meetings as often as the City Project Manager desires.
)
).> BETWEEN RJ BEHAR AND SUBCONSULTANTS
Another important aspect of coordination is between RJ Behar and its sub consultants. Again we
will make use of electronic transfer of information in order to maintain close communication ties
throughout the project. It will be our sole responsibility to make sure that our sub consultants
comply with their schedule and quality of their deliverable, A key to receiving quality work from sub
consultants is to keep them informed, As the Prime Consultant, we will scheduled work tasks to get
the required data to our sub consultants as soon as possible. We will provide our team project
schedules and all updates to that schedule.
).> BETWEEN RJ BEHAR AND UTILITY COMPANIES/PERMITTING AGENCIES
RJ Behar will develop a distribution list for each utility company and permitting agencies. Meeting
with the permitting agencies will be held as soon as the concept is developed. Utility contacts will
be made as soon as topographic features and right of way lines are plotted. Ongoing coordination
will be maintained with all of the agencies. It is important to note that we proposed to have a Kick-
off meeting at the beginning of the task with the City Project Manager, our key staff, and sub
consultants required. This meeting will insure the start of the project with the right foot. The scope,
work plan, schedules, and understanding of the task should be discussed and any major issues
identified up-front.
).> BETWEEN RJ BEHAR AND PRIVATE STAKEHOLDERS
RJ Behar will thru the City coordinate with the private stakeholders involved. Organizing public
meetings, one-on-one meetings, conference calls, preparing presentations, etc. we will make
ourselves available to provide the services that the City needs, On all public meetings we will keep
minutes, or recordings as needed to document these meetings.

SWORN STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 287.133(3)(a)
FLORIDA STATUTES, ON PUBLIC ENTITY CRIMES

THIS FORM MUST BE SIGNED AND SWORN TO IN THE PRESENCE OF A NOTARY PUBLIC OR OTHER

and (if applicable) its Federal Employer Identification number (FEIN) is 65-0954070
(If the entity had no FEIN, include the Social Security Number of the individual signing this sworn
statement: .)
11.2. I understand that a "public entity crime" as defined in Paragraph 287.133(1)(g), Florida Statutes, means a
violation of any state or federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to the transaction of
business with any public entity or with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or with the
United States, including, but not limited to, any Bid or Contract for goods or services to be provided to any
public entity or an agency or political subdivision of any other state of the United States and involving
antitrust, fraud, theft, bribery, collusion, racketeering, conspiracy, or material misrepresentation.
11.3. I understand that "convicted" or "conviction" as defined in Para. 287.133(1 )(b), Florida Statutes, means a
finding of guilt or a conviction of a public entity crime, with or without an adjudication of guilt, in any
federal or state trail court of record relating to charges brought by indictment or information after July 1,
1989, as a result of a jury verdict, non-jury trial, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere.
11.4. I understand that an "affiliate" as defined in Para. 287.133(1)(a), Florida Statutes, means:
a.)
predecessor or successor of a person convicted of a public entity crime; or
b.)
Any entity under the control of any natural person who is active in the management of the entity
and who has been convicted of a public entity crime. The term "affiliate" includes those officers,
directors, executors, partners, shareholders, employees, members, and agents who are active in
the management of an affiliate. The ownership by one person of shares constituting a controlling
interest in another person, or a pooling of equipment or income among persons when not for fair
20f7
DECEMBER 28. 2010
market value under an arm's length agreement, shall be a prime facie case that one person
controls another person. A person who knowingly enters into a joint venture with a person who
has been convicted of a public entity crime in Florida during the preceding 36 months shall be
considered an affiliate.
)
11.5.
I understand that a "person" as defined in Para. 287.133(1 )(e), Florida Statutes, means any natural
person or entity organized under the laws of any state or of the United States with the legal power to
enter into a binding Contract and which Bids or applies to Bid on Contracts for the provision of goods or
services let by a public entity, or which otherwise transacts or applies to transact business with a public
entity. The term "persons" includes those officers, directors, executives, partners, shareholders,
employees, members, and agents who are active in management of any entity.
11.6.
Based on information and belief, the statement which I have marked below is true in relation to the entity
submitting this sworn statement. (Indicate which statement applies.)
x
Neither the entity submitting this sworn statement, nor any of it's officers, directors, executives, partners,
shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, nor any

shareholders, employees, members, or agents who are active in the management of the entity, or an
affiliate of the entity has been charged with and convicted of a public entity crime subsequent to July 1,
1989. However, there has been a subsequent proceeding before a Hearing Officer of the State of
