CES understands that as Construction Managers, we are the owner's representative in the field and should act as an extension of your staff and strive for our client's best interests. As Construction Managers, first, we look at a project from our client's eyes forming a clear picture of their particular vision and expectations. We develop an understanding of their business, mission, budget goals, schedule and decision-making processes. Finally, knowing our client allows us to think outside of the box, we offer creative solutions to design and construction challenges. CES approaches Owner/Client coordination and communication by understanding that every project has a number of stakeholders with different needs and opinions regarding the purpose of the project and the means to accomplish it. This means frequent meeting with interested parties, and continual contact bye-mail, telephone and periodic reports as information develops. Our Management Techniques Include: · Manage the uncertainty of the early stages of a project or task assignment by meeting with the Owner early on order to better understand the scope of work. This will be done by kick-off meetings, pre-construction meetings and/or brainstorming sessions with all stakeholders. · At all time, maintain one single point of contact to streamline communication amongst team members, contractors and staff. · Document Control and Management of staff productivity by systematically following guidelines and procedures for the inspection team, that take into account constructability issues, financial, legal and technical constraints. · Ensure optimization of the design solution chosen by participating in the Value Engineering and Life Cycle costing studies as needed. · Manage the construction activities of the project by implementing a very tight QA/QC strategy. · Manage changes during construction to minimize budget impacts to the project. All the necessary steps will be taken in order to avoid late changes that usually have a potential to disrupt a project's schedule and budget.

Seventh Floor, North Tower Hollywood, FL 33021 954.987.0055 COMPLETION DATE 2014 CONSTRUCTION COST $ 600,000,000 DESCRIPTION . I Considered a precursor to the Water Reclamation Project, Miami-Dade County's $600 million High- Level Disinfection (HLD) Project will produce highly treated wastewater that will subsequently go through the water reclamation process of microfiltration, reverse osmosis, hydrogen peroxide addition, and ultraviolet disinfection. The project will increase the peak flow capacity of the South District Wastewater Treatment Plant by 27%, from 225 million gallons daily (mgd) to 285 mgd, an improvement that will allow more wastewater to be pumped to the plant during rain events, reducing potential sewer overflows. The SDWWTP HLD Program consists of fourteen (14) separate projects. Four of them have already been completed, nine are currently under construction, and the last one was released for bidding at the end of 2010. The two lengthiest projects-the Filter and Clarifier contracts-have durations exceeding five years and are presently ahead of schedule. As of early 2011, construction on the HLD Project has reached 42% completion, and the project is expected to be completed by Quarter 1 of 2014. Upon its completion, all treated wastewater coming from the existing secondary treatment plant will be filtered and disinfected to ensure Miami-Dade County complies with all Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) requirements. The project will help Miami-Dade meet specific FDEP and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requirements for the high-level disinfection of wastewater prior to its disposal into deep injection wells.

At a fixed time each week, meetings are held to specifically discuss pertinent developments, deadlines, technical or administrative concerns, and resource coordination for each on-going project. These weekly project review meetings have proven to be a very valuable tool in the cost effective and timely completion of individual projects. Agency Partnering and Pre-Construction Meeting Our Staff is very familiar dealing with Utility Companies and local Agencies involved in this project. A coordination meeting will be set up between Utility Companies, stakeholders and the selected Contractor to establish communication lines and commit to a conflict solving protocol that will expedite the resolution of the problem. utility Coordination Before Construction starts, CES will identify the proposed schedule, coordinate the work in a timely manner and verify progress of the required utility relocations that must take place in this contract. As part of our duties, CES will verify if the Contractor and Utility Companies can meet the proposed schedule and the resources to accomplish the work are available.

Communication The CES Team has been assembled to provide the City of Sunny Isles Beach with a group of consultants with extensive experience in a variety of construction management projects, ranging from a small $1 million or less, to well over $1 billion in construction cost, providing civil engineering, geotechnical engineering, construction management, and cost engineering services. In a world of increasing scrutiny of expenditure of public funds, it is of extreme importance that first and foremost, the Consultant be cognizant of the need to perform its services in a cost effective and efficient manner. As client representatives in the oversight of construction and infrastructure development, we will serve as essentially the "first line of defense" in representing the City of Sunny Isles Beach. This responsibility extends not only to the oversight and administrative functions of the project, but also as representatives of the City of Sunny Isles Beach to the public, trade professionals, design consultants and regulatory agencies. Recognizing that the individuals assigned to this project will represent the reputation and public image of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, we have taken great care to identify staff with not only a high degree of technical expertise, but also with excellent communications skills and a keen understanding of our role serving the City of Sunny Isles Beach. Dealing effectively with all stakeholders is crucial to a successful project. Regular progress reporting with the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Residents and the Contractor will ensure continuous project tracking. Usually, in a construction site, it is the responsibility of the construction management team to develop and tailor a project specific, systematic plan for communication, information management and project controls. Although each unit of the team has a role in the communication network, it must be managed as a complete system. CES's systematic approach includes jointly developed set of communication protocols before the work begins. The development of the communication protocols is a collaborative process involving the key stakeholders. The communication management strategy will: · Identify communication roles and responsibilities · Assure that all decisions are clearly communicated to the appropriate parties · Establish means and methods of managing and controlling the flow of information City of Sunny Isles Beach Continuing Professional Architectural & Engineering Services RFQ 12-04-02 I 29 r1 Fl r 1 ~ 1 , ) r 1 I I r 1 I , I r , .

I · Set out clear requirements for schedule, quality and cost control reports · Provide for a comprehensive system of identifying, tracking, managing and communicating project risks · Assure regular and timely communication of significant project events, problems and challenges to the project stakeholders · It has been CES's experience that a well defined communication management strategy is crucial for the coordination of delicate or risky activities, all stakeholders involved need to take part in several meetings to discuss key issues The construction managers, construction engineers and inspectors proposed for this project are skilled and effective at working through project issues with City of Sunny Isles Beach construction managers, contractors and project personnel. They are also experienced at maintaining positive working relationships with federal, state and local regulatory agencies and appreciate the need to ensure compliance with the spirit and letter of the law. The project leadership of CES team has excellent communications skills in both English and Spanish. B. Cost Management and Accountability Based on project experience, the keys to a successful project are accurate scheduling and concise project control. The Project Controls members are charged with managing and controlling the flow of information, keeping and maintaining cost and schedule control information and preparing and distributing reports. The project Controls team in functionally divided into units: · Document Control . Cost Control Document Control The document control staff operates a document control system to support the construction management team. All data, critical and noncritical, is collected, stored and indexed for retrieval. Document control staff is responsible for controlling, logging, filing and distributing project information and documents such as: · Requests for information . Submittals . Contract notices . Pay applications · Quality Assurance or Quality Control reports . Correspondence . Meeting Minutes · Safety data Cost Control The cost control staff operates a cost control system to support the construction management team. Such a cost control system is tailored to each project. All cost related information is collected, stored and managed by the cost control staff.

Cost control staff is responsible for the following essential functions: · Maintaining accurate records of progress payments · Storing and managing change order and claim related files · Reviewing cost estimates · Recording minutes during negotiation sessions · Updating and reporting the earned value and physical progress of each project component based on a schedule of values · Prepare "cost and comparison" variance reports and analyses · Prepare time-phased distributions of all cost accounts per project requirements · Update and maintain the electronic cost C. Schedule Control Schedule Control staff will develop, analyze and maintain schedules in support of the construction management team. The basic schedule control functions are the responsibility of a scheduler. He or she will use electronic software to collect, analyze, store and report on schedule related attributes of the project. The scheduler will: · Gather, analyze and distribute project schedule data · Maintain and update project master schedule · Prepare monthly progress reports · Analyze delay claims · Assist the core team with delay work around planning · Establish uniform Work Breakdown · Structures and Activity Codes for project schedules · Review contractor schedule updates The keys to a successful project are accurate schedules and cost estimates, along with concise project control. Because scheduling and project control work go hand in hand, it is necessary to evaluate each component before the project commences. Because some of the best opportunities for controlling projects occur before construction begins, accurate scheduling will yield good project control.

Claims Mitigation One key area in providing construction management to the City will be emphasis on claims mitigation. By having properly trained staff and promptly addressing issues, having proper cost and schedule controls in place, and keeping proper documentation during projects, we have successfully mitigated claims for our clients. As part of the scope of services, we would propose that the Consultant be allowed to perform constructability reviews, which may highlight document errors, omissions, and conflicts among the work elements during the design phase to help prevent change orders and claims during construction. Our approach to construction delay claim mitigation during construction is as follows: Establishing a reliable baseline schedule is of primary importance in the project scheduling, and an in-depth review of the contractor's baseline schedule and recommendation for approval will be the initial step. This review includes not only technical aspects from the scheduling perspective (predecessors, successors, etc.), but also includes the verification of the contractor's compliance with the contract requirements, the correlation of the baseline with the scope of work and the project schedule of values, among others. The review of the baseline schedule will be comprehensive so as to assure the adequacy of this initial schedule. Detailed and knowledgeable reviews of the schedule of values prior to the start of a project will assist in ensuring that the entire scope of the project is included, there is no "front loading", avoiding payment for work not yet performed. As the project proceeds, it is important that the project schedule is adequately maintained. Periodic reviews of the contractor's schedule update data for accuracy, compliance with the contract documents and actual correlation with the field observations will identify not only the current project status, but also highlight any situations that may need additional attention from the project management team (lack of progress, changes in project sequencing, time compressions, etc). Through these reviews, the reliability of the projected forecast completion is verified, and potential project delays are identified and documented. Schedule update reports may be used during project meetings to assure the proper understanding and timely action by all parties involved. If all of these proactive steps are taken, this should alleviate the majority of potential claims that may be filed by the contractor.

To meet the contract demands of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, we have put together a dynamic team of technical and support staff to ensure that completion of the projects is a success. The composition of the team is critical, particularly when addressing the many obstacles that are likely to arise during the course of construction. The CES Team's staff is comprised of individuals seasoned in many disciplines, sharing common goals of innovation and quality of work. Once awarded the project, to increase our understanding of key project issues, milestone, and possible constraints, our first course of action will be to meet with the City of Sunny Isles Beach, to clearly identify the short and long-term goals, and to establish an open line of communication with all stakeholders. The CES team is ready to report to work immediately on the City of Sunny Isles Beach projects. To add value to the services provided, CES requires new hires to complete a training program that includes a course on contract specifications and inspection requirements. These requirements include training in the following areas: Standard Specifications, daily reports, pay estimates, testing procedures, material quantities and tracking procedures, materials, timesheet completion, coordination procedures and as-builds. Additionally, CES provides the following safety training for our employees and assists our staff in keeping their certifications current. Our team has extensive experience maintaining cost engineering and cost estimating initiatives for projects from conceptual design to the project close out. Members of our team all have the latest electronic copies of Means guides, and have an in depth understanding of contracting methods and unit prices in the State of Florida. City of Sunny Isles Beach Continuing Professional Architectural & Engineering Services RFQ 12-04-02 I 33 '] Pl r 1 f 1 I J , I , 1 " 1 J Quality Control/Quality Assurance Plan The objective of CES's staff will be to require the contractor to comply with the requirements of the Quality Control Plan provided in the contract documents. Each specification section will have a segment dedicated to quality of work and minimum requirements to meet compliance. The preconstruction conference will specifically address the Quality Control Plan. The contractor will be asked to provide its implementation process, along with a specific manager to control the activities. Quality Assurance Overseeing Quality Assurance will be the responsibility of the CES team. CES's role in this process will be to assure contractor compliance with the contract documents. If test results fail, or inspections reveal inadequate work, appropriate documentation will be prepared (non compliance reports) and issued to the contractor. It is imperative that all non-compliance issues are addressed immediately and, if not corrected in such fashion, they should be logged and tracked weekly with the City of Sunny Isles Beach Construction Management Team and the contractor at weekly foremen meetings. All testing will be documented and filed in the document control system. A status report regarding the contractor's compliance with the quality plan will be given to the City of Sunny Isles Beach Construction Management Team at each monthly progress meeting. A document generated during the quality assurance process will be provided to the City Of Sunny Isles Beach Construction Management Team at the completion of work. CES will work cooperatively with the contractor to produce and verify the quality of work required by the contract. Quality Control Quality control involves performing the specified testing requirements of the contract. Therefore, a contractor that accepts a project agrees to build the facility according to the plans and specifications and agrees to control the work and operation in a manner that will produce the specified quality. The contractor's quality control system must be geared to preventing mistakes and minimizing costs by doing the work right the first time. Submittal Control Part of the quality control process is insuring that the contractors provide shop drawing submittals for all materials and equipment indicated in the specifications provided, and to track and review these submittals. CES knows from experience that the timely submittal and review of this information is critical to a project schedule. Knowing what information is to be submitted, and when is necessary for the City Of Sunny Isles Beach Construction Management Team and Designers to plan for timely reviews and action on these submittals. This process is initiated at the preconstruction meeting with the contractors, with a list of necessary submittals and a review of the overall submittal process. The submittal quality control process tracks what information is submitted, City of Sunny Isles Beach Continuing Professional Architectural & Engineering Services RFQ 12-04-02 I 34 r 1 rl 1 I ~ 1 Fl I I , 1 I when it comes in, who is reviewing it, what its approval status is and when it is sent back to the contractor. Then, on a monthly basis during progress meetings or payment reviews, the status of outstanding submittals, submittals returned for correction and submittals in the process of review can be discussed and actions can be taken by the appropriate parties. Timely processing of submittals keeps the project running on schedule, avoids delay claims and assures that the appropriate materials and equipment is provided to meet the specifications. CES cost estimators and schedulers have been providing their expertise in some of the largest infrastructure and capital improvement projects since the firm was established. For this project, the CES Team will rely on in-house developed and industry-standard project control methodologies to plan, execute and manage projects and performance during the entire project lifecycle. Utilizing work breakdown structures (WBS), work package agreements, and resource-loaded schedules, projects will be planned and the plans refined to detail the scope of the project and establish the basis of project execution. Client-specified project control requirements will then be integrated within our industry-proven project control system, thereby providing a transparent interface with the City of Sunny Isles Beach management systems. Project performance will be continually assessed, analyzed and managed by the management team. Regular management and status meetings will ensure effective and open communication among CES team members and the City of Sunny Isles Beach. Realizing how critical safety is on any program, CES will have a safety manager available to assist with any safety issues that may arise and who will be available to assist with any additional safety training that might be required. CES has the capability to perform value engineering, constructability review and a comprehensive design review program focused on quality. As in with any project, there are unplanned circumstances that happen. To alleviate the impact on the community and stakeholders, CES proactively has measures in place to review constructability questions included but not limited to the following: <F.',.., '.~ ~ · Can the project(s) be constructed as designed? · Are there any omissions/errors? Can it be maintained as designed? · Should the design be changed to improve effectiveness? · Are there any obvious conflicts in design? · Has sufficient time been allowed to build each component of the project? · Does the schedule minimize craft interference? · How should the construction be phased? Does the project phasing consider single prime and multiple prime contracts? · How can disruption be minimized?

I , . · Can improvements be introduced without negative impacts? · Should normal work schedules be modified to respond to outside/educational calendar? . Are there any contingency plans? · Does the project have a hurricane preparedness and evacuation plan? · Is there open access for emergency vehicles 24/7? · Do homeowners and commercial businesses have access? · Is there a plan in place for unplanned interruptions in utility services due to broken lines, cables, etc.? · Does this project call for a dewatering plan? · Has an effective traffic engineering plan (MOT) been established to ensure minimal disruption with safe and accessible routes for transportation? · Does specification language permit adequate control and flexibility for the Owner to manage the project? As we have done in the past on similar projects, we will rely on open and frequent discussions and meetings with all project stakeholders. CES' Community Outreach Program works right along beside our construction management and field inspection teams to provide personalized customer service to all residents and businesses within a project area. This program serves to build and enhance the relationship between the construction team, City of Sunny Isles Beach Public Works Departments and its customers. Our mission is to provide customers with timely information and updates on all of our projects, to give them opportunities for community involvement and to enable residents to voice their concerns and to have their issues resolved in a timely manner. Contingency fRisk Management Plan Factors beyond the team's and the City's control (for example, permitting policy changes, materials prices, availability or delivery time) can often influence the success of a project. The team members will assist Mr. Ortiz with developing a Risk Management Plan at the kick-off meeting. The Plan will include a list of potential problems specific to the project and prevention measures that may be used to mitigate the problems. Monthly, Mr. Ortiz will update the Risk Management Plan to reflect the status of each area of potential concern. Post- Construction and Project Close Out Punch Lists CES will prepare Substantial Completion and Completion punch lists to ensure that all requirements have been addressed properly. Punch List will include City 0 Sunny Isles Beach's Maintenance Rating Program activities to ensure that the work was completed satisfactorily and will not require rework once is turn over to maintenance. As-Built Records CES will produce as-built plans in accordance with the City of Sunny Isles Beach procedures. Project Personnel will use contract drawings to denote all changes to the project and plan revisions. This data will be transferred periodically by CES to the as-built plan record for final certification. City of Sunny Isles Beach Continuing Professional Architectural & Engineering Services RFQ 12-04-02 I 36 . J ~l rl , 1 r 1 , 1 Videos/Photographs CES will take a pre-construction video of the entire project area prior the start of construction. Video recordings will continue throughout construction to document exceptional progress milestone events or prior to implementing the MOT. Conclusion The foregoing approach has been developed based on the City's Scope of Services outlined in the Request for Proposal and on our experience working with the City and other municipalities on similar projects. We have been successfully using this approach over the years and look forward to continuing this success working with the City of Sunny Isles Beach. r 1 I The CES Team is familiar with the City's requirements, methods of operation and processes, enabling us to provide an excellent service with no learning curve. During the past 10 years, CES has been providing similar services within South Florida, employing an overall approach similar to the one described above, with great success, therefore our approach has proven its efficiency and success. i ' 1 I I . 1 I .
