Litigation Statement
Customer satisfaction is CGA's primary objective for every project undertaken by the firm. As such,
CGA endeavors to complete each project on time and within budget. CGA is proud to assert that CGA
has not failed to provide products, perform services, or furnished goods for which we have been
contracted.
In the last five (5) years CGA has been involved in the following litigation:
1. James A. Cummings, Inc. vs. Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc., Case No: 06-019973(18) in the
17th Judicial Court, in and for Broward County. This case which was filed in 2006 was related
to the Palm Beach County Airport Parking Structure. The case was settled in August 2007.
2. Yvette Lorenzo, personal representative of the estate and survivors of Orestes Lorenzo vs.
Florida Department of Transportation, City of Pembroke Pines, William J. Russo, Natasha Russo,
and Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc., Case No: 0601924(12) in the 17th Judicial Court, in and
for Broward County. CGA was a co-defendant in a wrongful death action brought by the
deceased's relatives. This case was filed on or about June 30, 2006, and was settled to the
satisfaction of both parties in September 2008.
3. Vue Condominium Association, Inc. vs. Vue Fort Lauderdale, L.L.C., ET AL, Case No.
CACE09012422 .Suit was filed March 3, 2009. This is a typical condominium construction defect
suit involving the developer, contractor, numerous subcontractors and all the design team. The
condominium association voluntarily dismissed its claim against CGA in February 2011.
4. Walnut Creek Community Development District vs. Standard Pacific of South Florida, GP, Inc., Et
AI, Case No. CACEI0019353. Suit was filed May 4, 2010. The case concerns the failure of an
HDPE drainage system and is in the early stages of discovery. The other parties include the
developer, the pipe manufacturer and the contractor which is defunct but which may have
insurance coverage. Our understanding is that the problems are primarily the result of defective
manufacture of the HDPE pipe although design and construction deficiencies also are alleged.
5. Armando Alvarez vs. Keith and Schnars, PA, Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc., Community
Asphalt Corp., Arazoza Brothers Corporation, Arazoza Brothers Corporation f/k/a Aqualawn,
Inc., Vila and Son Landscaping Corp., a Florida Corporation, Edward R. Wiener, Michael

Suit was filed September 12, 2008 in the 17th Judicial Court, in and for Broward County. Motor
vehicle accident involving a turning vehicle into path of a motorcycle caused by site line
obstruction due to bush not properly maintained. CGA was responsible for QC of roadway plans.
This case is pending.
6. Calvin, Giordano & Associates and Franklin County, Florida filed lawsuit NO. 4:2012cvOOOOl in
the Florida Northern District Court against B.P. Exploration and Production Inc. in January
2012. The suit was filed in an attempt to collect payment from B.P. Exploration and Production
for services performed by CGA on behalf of Franklin County, Florida.

Indication of How Long It Would Take to Implement Service After
Authorized to Begin
Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. can commence work on any project immediately upon receiving
the Notice to Proceed from the City of Sunny Isles Beach. The landscaping staff assigned to this
project has the capacity to begin immediately working on the project gathering as-builts and
permits. Our survey department staff can place a crew in the field within 48 hours of receiving the
Notice to Proceed to begin the design survey. From that point, all other services would follow
uninterrupted. Based on our experience with these types of projects and more specifically our
permitting experience with FDOT and Miami-Dade County on these types of projects, CGA would
expect that our team would have an advantage with shorter length of time permitting and fewer
RAls than most other firms would.

Proven Experience and Ability to Work Across Disciplines
We have assembled a team of qualified professionals, under the direction and management of a Landscape
Architect who has extensive experience leading professionals, engineers, designers and construction
administrators in the design and development of various landscape architectural products. Our team of
professionals has vast municipal experience to assist the City in meeting upcoming objectives, including the
increasing the quality of life of residents and increasing the City's green initiatives to create more
sustainable, green environments. Our carefully chosen professionals have experience in a variety of project
types. This team member selection ensures that the Team will be capable and ready to immediately
commence diligent and relevant work toward meeting any time and budget criteria established by the
individual project's scope and circumstances.
CGA brings to the table our multidisciplinary expertise conducting
landscape planning, planting design, beautification, neighborhood
improvement projects throughout various municipalities in South
Florida. We also have great experience coordinating with
planning initiatives to achieve similar goals and objectives.
Specific to streetscapes, CGA has been very effective in developing
strategies that increase urban forestry, promote good tree and
vegetative converge and health, support the benefits of cooling
micro-climates, collaborate with overall wayfinding strategies,
and enhance gateway and entrance moments. One of the greatest
considerations we have experience in implementing city-wide
landscape strategies and streetscape improvements have been
fostering increased pedestrian safety, promote traffic calming,
and upgrade community aesthetics. Lastly, we are capable of
delivering exceptional landscape solutions in providing landscape improvements that employs the practices of
water conservation, through the use ofXeriscape principles, appropriate vegetative planting detailing to ensure
proper root-growth and preventative infrastructure impacts, water conservation irrigation design standards, as
well as fostering sustainable storm-water management practices through the use of landscaped bio-swales and
pervious strategies.

A true testament to our collaborative, multidisciplinary team approach to project development has been
evidenced in our past experience delivering a complete dossier of landscape architectural products,
principally in their detailed articulation of how environments can be built and designed. In creating design
solutions for specific projects, it is our practice to build upon an understanding of the culture of the 'place'
and couple them with on-site
investigations and analyses to
understand the character of the
area under study. This is
imperative in the continuing the
solvency of Sunny Isles Beach's
communities and neighbor-
hoods as distinguishable from
others in the region, as well as
in the support of the sub-texts
that serve as developing
unifying themes that congeal the
City under a unified character
and theme. These revealing
analyses allow us to better
comprehend the built form to
identify opportunities and
constraints, identify the use of
architectural form, space,
materials and treatments, open
spaces and their design qualities, create micro-climates, and foster sustainable practices. Through our past
experience, we are able to reveal distinctive architectural characteristics that demonstrate how Sunny Isles
Beach is uniquely poised as a city presently being emulated across the region. It is precisely our
understanding of Sunny Isles Beach as a model place' increasingly surrounded by imitations of the
standards established by the City that promotes our ability to deliver increased qualities that support the
City's standout position and counteract the increasing region ubiquity.
Additionally, because we have the readiness and inclusion of traffic, roadway, electrical and civil engineers
on staff, we have the first-hand experience in providing improvements that adequately and safely address
the realities necessary to develop an implementable set of design standards. These include the installation
of bike lanes and bike routes, paving areas, visual enhancements, traffic calming strategies, crosswalk
improvements, and ensuring that universa.l design standards are appropriately met to deliver adequate
ADA access to all public areas. Safety is an important aspect, which we can readily deliver, both through
strategizing the build-out of street types in manners that foster the coexistence of motorized, non-
motorized and pedestrian uses, as well as with the implementation of lighting design standards and
schemes that promote consistent lighting, minimize light pollution, promote energy-efficiency, and
contribute to the overall branding of the City. We have also successfully employed and developed strategies
for branding through the creation of gateway features and strategies, directional signage mechanisms, and
overall branded environments that take all aspects of a tightly packaged landscape product into account,
including furnishings and pedestrian-oriented features.

Our in-house processes of Quality Assurance and Product Delivery guarantee a seat at the table and a voice
for all issues to be disclosed, designed and resolved by all parties working collaboratively on a project.
Under the leadership of a designer, considerations extraneous to the project boundaries will be overlaid
and resolved as integrated and important components of the resolution of the project. This is particularly
critical because of the large amount of residential uses in the area, which bring to the forefront concern for
safety and security. Additionally, providing the necessary aesthetic improvements in the form of branding

and character design, affecting furnishings and seeking opportunities for traffic calming and urban forestry,
will contribute towards increasing the overall quality of life standards of the area.
",:"" The staff at CGA has vast experience conceiving design solutions and
following them through design development and into construction.
CGA's employees hold registrations and certifications in professional
services of their disciplines, and many of our selected staff have a cross-
discipline educational background to support our mission of providing
complete and thoroughly articulated projects. Logistically, our staff has
been providing these full-spectrum design, engineering and
management services repeatedly for several municipalities, county and
state agencies. It is a part of our standard procedure that following the
design development, we build consensus to obtain resident buy-in via
public meeting open to the citizens. Following approval and
construction documentation, we manage distribution of bid packages to
contractors, make recommendations for selection and award of
contracts based on a careful inspection of submittal packages, and we
provide on-going, onsite construction inspection and review services.
The design team at CGA has developed a tiered methodology of project
design development that has proven as an effective, customizable
mechanism to adequately ensure proper development of a project and inclusion of the client or
stakeholders in the process. This process is briefly outlined as follows:
Inventory - Throughout the inventory phase, all pertinent
information affecting the design and impact of a project
are assembled and graphically represented, if required by
the client.
Analysis - Once all the information has been assembled
through the inventory phase, design staff conducts analyses
to interpret the data - principally to identify and foresee any
potential conflicts and constraints, as well as to shed light on
additional opportunities available that will further the
success of the project, be it via design or through the
logistical process of documentation, permitting or
construction.
Design schematics - Conceptual design schematics are presented that describe the overall concept
of and vision for the project, program distribution and potential detail and material finishes that
will contribute to the finish character.
Stakeholder input - It is essential to engage and include stakeholder input early on in the design
process to obtain buy-in from those individuals most impacted by the project. Design schematics
allow for modulation of the design to meet the needs and requests made by stakeholders, as well as
it presents a stage of the process that conveys commitment and process from the investor.
Design development - Once stakeholder input has been obtained and compromises have been
made, if necessary, the design then enters into a development phase wherein our design team
narrows in on the details and specificities of the project, pending a final design approval by the
client.
o Coordination - Our team's Project Manager will maintain a strong and efficient
communication link between the City's Project Manager and/or designee, as directed.
o Design, Review and Deliverables - CGA will deliver a cohesive design implementation
solution for the improvements, paying close attention to risk assessments and
necessary milestones to achieve and guarantee the successful implementation of the
project's design and goals.

o The Design Team and City Staff will work closely together to steer the project in the
desired direction, with periodic design reviews and pre-processing and permitting
services.
Construction documentation - Once an approval for
the design has been obtained, CGA employs its
experienced and skilled technical staff in the
preparation of the contract and construction
documentation necessary to take the project into
fruition.
Project Administration - CGA's municipal staff can
administer the distribution of bid documents and
packages to bidding parties, maintaining and
documenting processes in accordance to regulatory
standards that dictate appropriate procedure. CGA
dedicates staff from our Construction Administration
Department to ensure that the bids retained by the
City are adequately priced and detailed, and after
careful analysis a report is normally prepared wherein
a ranked recommendation is made to the City for final
selection.
Construction Management and Administration - At
the discretion of the City, CGA has certified and
registered staff that may remain on-site on a regular or
as-needed basis to guide and administer all
construction processes in representation of the City.
This service provides the ease of mind that conflicts
will be quickly resolved, surprises will be minimized
and final budgeted costs will be held to through to
completion.
Meetings and Visits - CGA can coordinate and
document the following through the overall team:
o Pre-Construction meeting
o Value Engineering meetings
o Attendance of resident information meetings
o Weekly construction meetings
o Contract specific meetings
o Specialty AlE Consultant site visits
o Equipment start-ups
Field Inspections - The lead inspector or assistant inspector can document the following on a daily
basis:
.
.
.
.
.
o Weather Conditions
o Contractors work force and description of work
o Subcontractors on site and work force
o All equipment onsite and utilized
o Visitors to project site
o Tests and results
o Construction difficulties and measures taken
o Significant delays and why
o Disputes between City, Resident, or Contractor

. Close-outs and Final Inspections - Finally, CGA Staff can send a team of multi-disciplinary
professionals to inspect and ensure that all final components have been construction in accordance
to the vision and intent of the plans as presented to the City. Our Project Team can ensure
contractual requirements as specified by the Contract Plans and the City through:
o Substantial Completion documentation
o Warranty Periods
o Release of Liens
o Bond and Surety Acceptance
o Punch List items, follow ups and walk-through
o Operation and Maintenance Manuals
o Preparation of final pay request
. Continual Inspections - At the request of the City, CGA can provide continual, annual re-inspection
services to ensure the longevity of the design and to maintain the envisioned quality and character.
Additionally, re-inspection services allow CGA Staff to monitor the utilization of the spaces in order
to continually assert that its social value is maintained. This is critical in promoting long-term buy-
in from end users.
At CGA, excellent Project Management skills are seen as the
cornerstone to any successful project. Throughout the
professional services, the Project Manager will be in regular
communication with the appointed representative for the City to
update them on the project's status and progress. All
communication between the CGA project team and the City staff
will occur through the CGA Project Manager.
Upon being awarded a specific project by the City of Sunny Isles
Beach, the CGA project manager will meet with the assigned City
staff to determine requirements of the project, define the project
budget, and will then prepare an understanding of project scope,
and a preliminary project timeline. Within the understanding of
scope, a list of the additional personnel assigned to the project
and his or her particular role will be included for City approval.

The qualifications of the personnel to work on that particular project will be readily available. The
understanding of project scope and preliminary project timeline will be provided to the City for review and
approval prior to the CGA internal project "Kick-off Meeting". This "Kick-off Meeting" will occur after the
initial project award meeting between City staff and the CGA project manager.
The Project Manager will also be responsible for assigning tasks to the various departments within CGA
and also to any applicable sub-consultants. At the "Kick-off Meeting", the team will be introduced to the
scope, the budget and the timeline. The Project Manager will define the various elements of the projects
and describe the quality control/quality assurance requirements at this meeting. The team's Project
Manager will periodically review the progress of the project to assure meeting the project timeline and
budget as initially approved by the City. The Project Manager will then update City Staff of the project
progress.
Regular project meetings will be held with City staff for all phases of the project. The CGA attendees present
at the meetings will be dependent on the complexity and the phase of the project. These meetings will be
focused on adherence to the project timeline, quality control, budget, and on the resolution of any
outstanding issues.
Close attention to the budgetary constraints of available funding will be a primary focus of the CGA team. In
addition, value engineering analyses will playa critical role in insuring the most efficient design possible.
No work will be added to the project without review and agreement by both the City and the CGA project
manager; such review will include cost and time impacts in order to identify alternative solutions which
can maintain the project's budget. An initial review of the long range estimate will be conducted as one of
the first work items under this contract. Verifying the estimated work against the agreed upon project
scope will establish the baseline cost for construction. Just as in the design controls stated above, no
additions to the scope will be made without a review by the City and the CGA project manager.
CGA's project management approach makes quality control an integral part of the project. Thorough and
diligent quality control has a direct effect on keeping the project on time and on budget. The quality control
concept is a major agenda item at the kickoff meeting with the design team. All team meetings will address
the quality by measuring progress against the City's expectations. The team will meet all product require-
ments, technical, budget, and schedule or take immediate corrective action to bring the project back in line.
Weekly progress meetings are supplemented by a peer review, where a design group not assigned to the
particular assignment will review the plans with a fresh perspective. This quality review is performed as
part of our quality assurance program. CGA has instituted the policy of a multi-disciplined review of the
product before it is released to the client to ensure adherence to the big picture and to counteract any
potential lack of congruence in the overall product.
In addition, the CGA team will review the project from a "Constructability" of design perspective in order to
meet the City's goals and objectives and to maintain a firm grasp on the costs associated with each project.
The "Constructability" of a design is an important facet to consider during each phase of a design's
development; however, it is most poignant when a design is nearing substantial completion (90% plans),
where it undergoes an in-house constructability review by our CEI and Construction Management
Departments. This review specifically ensures potential problems in the field during construction are
evaded or minimized.
This process has effectively allowed us to meet past client budgets and timelines. A few examples of recent
work completed after December 20, 2005, or near completion, include:

Past Experience with Public Involvement
Being that most of our practice has been in the public sector, coupled with the necessary abilities to engage
the residents and stakeholders through various public involvement mechanisms, CGA has acquired vast
experiences in coordinating outreach to produce various work types and services in a multi-disciplinary
,,~, approach. Having all professionals as a unified team under a single
.. ~ ~ roof, CGA is not only able to develop, communicate and solicit
'i\ discussions about a larger vision affecting issues of branding,
'lIJ community and urban design, but we are cognoscente of the
,I
processes and means that facilitate the transition of these larger
visions into the more detailed-specific components, such as the
design and placement of gateway features, streetscape
improvements typologies, the sensitivity of equally distributed
neighborhood improvements, the impact of city-wide ordinances
:>1;< , and the dissemination of design guidelines. These are essential
... " "" and integral aspects of public participation processes.
CGA has coordinated and moderated a series of different types of methods for community participation,
each with a different focus and tailored to each Client, relative to the requirements of the final product.

Sustainable Policies and Practices
CGA has always guided our clients to the most efficient and
sustainable practices. This has always been our mindset. Our
most recent project aiming for LEED-Gold Rating is the new Joe
DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood, where we were
responsible for all landscaping, streetscaping, irrigation and
engineering site improvements. We have facilitated significant
water reduction use for the Town of Surfside, brought about
the implementation of signal progress for more efficient traffic
flow as well as the construction of roundabouts in the cities of Weston and Hollywood. We are currently
working with the City of Pembroke Pines to implement a wastewater reuse program and on the
development of their LEED certified Public works campus. We were the first firm in Florida to assist our
clients in implementing energy conservation measures into local comprehensive plans as required by the
DCA.
Incorporating sustainable, "Green" design into projects has become a priority for municipalities, businesses
and homeowners alike. Sustainable Development is not only good for the environment but it has become
essential for the responsible operation of municipalities and agencies seeking to foster greater stewardship
and extend the benefits of this paradigm to the affected community.
Tammy Cook is a LEED Accredited Professional and plays a significant leadership role in the USGBC. As the
Project Manager, she will be leading the team in looking "outside the box" for opportunities to make
projects increasingly sustainable. The greatest opportunities toward this effort, beyond the selection of

sustainable materials and solutions, minimizing water needs, and minimizing heat-island and micro-
climatic conditions includes handling run-off:
. Affecting Run-off - As with all of South Florida, Sunny Isles Beach is a relatively flat area of land in a
climate that produces above-average rainfall amounts, providing the perfect opportunity to capture
and store rainwater. The opportunity to treat or store rainwater to be used later for the supply and
enhancement of the immediate area is a reality.
. Treating Run-off - Treating the run-off can be effectively done through the use and implementation of
rain gardens as a part of the landscape treatment. These water treatment areas can be detailed and
designed to be very aesthetically pleasing, while effectively contributing to the green-footprint of the
City.
. Capturing Runoff - The use of pervious pavements and pavers could be utilized instead of traditional
impervious pavements, which direct runoff overland to the structures. This cuts down on the
possibility of the runoff mixing with oils and chemicals that contaminate the water, improving the
overall quality, as well as keeps the roadways relatively water free after large rain events. CGA designed
and managed the construction of a parking lot in the Delray CRA that used these pervious pavements
and pavers as a way to capture runoff. We have successful experience, beyond just the design of these,
in actually detailing them and administering their construction to guarantee that the system works
effectively.
. Storing Runoff - Finding a place to store the captured rainwater is a challenge, particularly if the
captured rainwater is to be used weeks or months after its collection and should be considered in the
design. Storage areas should include some sort of agitation device to keep the water from becoming
stagnant so it does not fester into a breeding ground for insects, like mosquitoes, nor becomes septic.
The most common use of captured drainage is for irrigation. Our irrigation consultant, Masuen Consulting,
has an extensive amount of experience in developing water conservation systems that provide necessary
irrigation at minimal uses.
Our commitment to sustainability is not only for our projects, as we also apply them to our operations and
company policies. We electronically transmit documents as much as feasible to reduce paper use and
conduct all of our internal Q/C reviews electronically to avoid printing. We have invested in Fuel efficient
Vehicles for of our inspectors that are required to drive to multiple locations as a part of their work
schedules. When necessary, we have also established remote office locations to reduce travel requirements.
Capital Improvements & Engineering Planning
CGA provides many forms of engineering planning services for municipalities
infrastructure needs. It begins with assessments of the age, condition, and level of
service of existing infrastructure, through projection of the community's needs far
into the future. Using the latest technology and accepted design methodologies, CGA
then develops master plans/programs to be implemented by the municipality to
address the issues revealed in the evaluation process. We then prioritize and price
the necessary improvements in order to assist the municipality in developing its
infrastructure budget and also to assist in obtaining alternative funding sources for
the improvements. These infrastructure improvements vary widely in scope and can range from simple
sidewalk and ADA improvements, to large complicated roadway and drainage projects. CGA currently
assists the municipalities of Weston, West Park, Surfside, Sunny Isles Beach and other communities with
their capital improvement programs. Various projects in the program include various storm water
drainage and pump stations, FP&L utility under-grounding, sea wall replacements, City Hall governmental
facility, park facilities, roadway reconstruction and traffic calming, decorative street lighting, new parking
lot construction, landscaping improvements and water and sewer improvements.

Water and Sewer
CGA provides professionals who have experience in all aspects of water distribution, water re-use main,
wastewater collection/transmission main, and lift station design, permitting, and construction, as well as
system evaluation, and analysis.
Our water experience includes the design and permitting of new water distribution networks, water
distribution system replacements and upgrades, and booster pump stations. This includes water main
extension and/or replacement projects for the cities of Weston, Pembroke Pines, Miramar, North
Lauderdale, Miami Beach, Dania Beach, Hollywood, Lauderhill, and the towns of Davie, Surfside, and Bay
Harbor Islands. In addition, we have modeled existing water distribution systems for the cities of Weston,
and Lauderhill, as well as the Town of Davie. This involved assembling existing as-built, permit, and atlas
data, and supplementing it with surveyed field data to build the existing model in WaterCad. CGA then
proceeded to model improvements into the system for enhanced system performance, to account for future
demands, and to accommodate future anticipated redevelopment. The modeled improvements were
prioritized, budgeted and included in the Capital Improvement Plans for the municipality.
Our wastewater experience includes the design, permitting, and construction of collection systems,
transmission systems, lift stations, master pump stations, in-line booster pumping stations, and force
mains. CGA has or is currently in the process of modeling the existing wastewater transmission systems
(lift stations and force mains) for the cities of Weston, Pembroke Pines, Opa-locka, Cooper City, Dania
Beach, and the Town of Davie. As with the water distribution system models, we assembled existing as-
built information, permit information, and atlas data, and supplemented it with surveyed field data to build
the existing computer model. Similar to the water distribution system evaluation and analyses, CGA
modeled improvements into the system for enhanced system performance, to account for future demands,
and to accommodate future anticipated redevelopment. The necessary improvements were then integrated
in the municipality's Capital Improvement Plan. In addition, CGA recently performed an 1&1 study on the
wastewater collection system of the Town of Surfs ide.
Our team has provided designed pump stations for variety of application including stormwater, shallow
wells, deep wells, wastewater lift station, wastewater effluent disposal, potable water distribution, and in-
line booster station. As such, we have worked with and coordinated with all design disciplines including
structural, electrical, and instrumentation and controls. We have experience with a variety of pumps and
pump station types. As part of the pump station design we also provided hydraulic modeling, solids
removal facilities (Le. bar racks, strainers) design and emergency power fuel system design. We have
worked on pumps with capacities ranging from 0.1 MGD to 200 MGD (320 CFS).
CGA has designed, permitted, and managed the construction of new lift stations, and lift station
rehabilitation projects for the cities of Weston, Pembroke Pines, Dania Beach, Miramar, North Lauderdale,
Hollywood, Cooper City, Opa-locka, and the Town of Davie.
Stormwater Management
CGA has been the Drainage/Stormwater Management Engineer for the
South Broward Drainage District (SBDD) since 1990. The firm was
originally contracted to develop the first and only district-wide basin
hydrologic and hydraulic analysis and storm water comprehensive plan.
CGA is also the District Engineer for Indian Trace Development District and
Bonaventure Development District and has completed basin wide
hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, including the master drainage system
modeling, analysis and pumping station upgrades, large-scale
mitigation/wetlands plans and the updates of the comprehensive plan. CGA uses the latest in advance
computer-assisted software technologies such as Advanced Interconnected Pond Routing (ADICPR),
Hydraflow, Cascade and other current computer programs.

As District Engineer for ITDD, and BDD, our responsibilities include the review of all construction plans and
specifications for conformance with the District criteria, as well as representation at District Board
meetings to address technical and engineering issues. In addition, CGA has been successful in obtaining
several millions of dollars in grants to accomplish the District's goals and objectives.
Furthermore, CGA has also developed stormwater master plans for several municipalities including the
cities of Dania Beach, Lauderhill, West Park, Weston and the Town of Surfside. Within these cities, we have
provided a number of stormwater-related activities such as stormwater modeling, drainage calculations,
pump station design and/or pump station rehabilitation, NPDES MS4 compliance, culvert design, canal
extensions and other related hydraulic structures.
Our experienced drainage engineers keep abreast of the latest EPA, FDEP and SFWMD regulations with
respect to drainage issues. They regularly summarize new regulations, their impact on clients and
recommend actions to comply with the new regulation(s).
Surveying
The Surveying and Mapping Division of CGA utilizes the latest in cutting edge technology when preparing
surveys including GPS equipment, automated data collection, laser scanners, underground utility detection
technologies and a vacuum/slurry subsurface excavation system called the VaXcavator that exposes
existing underground utilities. Operated by one of the field survey crews, it allows us to
obtain subsurface horizontal and vertical locations required for design, while realizing
cost and timesavings for our clients. Additionally, our state-of-the-art Hypack software
with Odom sounder allows us to offer hydrographic surveying services. By integrating
with our Trimble GPS units, the equipment creates a three-dimensional model of the
water body being surveyed and significant savings for our clients.
Recognizing the value to our clients, CGA was among the first firms in Florida to acquire
the 3D Laser ScanStation. Our Surveying and Mapping staff can now scan virtually
anything in half the time of conventional methods, with a level of detail not available
before. The ScanStation can take a virtual, detailed snapshot of a site including ceilings,
undersides of bridges, elevated pipe racks, tall facades, columns and towers. Areas that
were previously difficult to access. It collects millions of data points of all items in a 3600 horizontal and 2700
vertical field of view, allowing a full field of view. This eliminates an additional visit to capture data not
covered in the original scope of work or the question as to where a shot was taken of an object. The
ScanStation captures all the items at once in a permanent record that can be filed, including hundreds of
high quality photos, and graphics or animations, from 3D to virtual walk-through of sites. It is ideal for
litigations, client presentations or commission meetings. For added convenience, the survey data can be
exported to whatever format our clients need, whether CADD or other software.
One-Stop Shopping
The Surveying and Mapping Division offers the services, staff and technology to ensure that every survey
project is executed successfully, and to our clients' satisfaction.

Construction Management
CGA believes key elements of construction management include: contract
negotiation, implementing quality control and assurance programs, contract
document review, shop drawing approval, review and administration of
contractor RFls, observation of field activity to assure construction is completed
in accordance with construction documents, payment request recommendation,
change order administration, environmental and NPDES monitoring, field report
and documentation, as-built record drawing preparation, and agency jpermit
closeout documentation and certification. As part of being a Municipal
Consultant for several local governmental entities, we are constantly involved
and up to date in all related agencies requirements and procedures; we have
served as construction management for over $100 million Capital Projects,
successfully assisting in the bidding, selection of contractor, construction and
final certifications, in conjunction with different design consultants and clients.
Environmental Specialties and Permitting
The diverse and in-depth work experience of our environmental staff provides us with a critical
understanding of current local and regional environmental planning and permitting issues and the historic
_ _I impacts that have affected the southeast region, as well as the adaptive
strategies that will be necessary to address climate change and rising sea
levels. CGA's multidisciplinary approach is reflected in the integrated
partnership of our environmental department with the many disciplines of
our firm.
The integration of technical field skills, regulatory details and overall project
requirements allows us to address project needs from inceptions to
completion. Our environmental staff routinely coordinates details with
owners, developers, design engineers, surveyors, as well as governmental agency. It is our goal to obtain
reasonable, environmentally sensible solutions for our clients.
Traffic and Transportation Engineering
In today's "transportation focused" market, virtually every regional
planning activity and site-specific development involves assessing
traffic-related impact. Through combined experience in managing
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), municipal and private-
sector transportation projects, CGA developed a mutually beneficial
approach that integrates all perspectives. CGA currently provides
transportation municipal services to the cities of Greenacres, Homestead, Miramar, Parkland, Surfside, West
Park, and Weston. CGA has considerable design experience with a variety of municipalities and the Florida

Department of Transportation in designing road reconstruction and streetscape improvements to both
improve pedestrian accessibility, and roadway operations.
Understanding of Issues
Having practiced in the South Florida region for over so many years, CGA has grown and responded to the
increasingly urbanized character of our surrounding cities and municipalities. Having these experiences
has made us sensitive to urban issues. These issues include:
. Architectural vision
. Access and signage
. Cost of design solutions
. Continuity of pedestrian access
. Promotion of foot-traffic and non-motorized connectivity
. Provision of context sensitive responses to design challenges
. Increased spatial limitations need to be negotiated with more extensive services and amenities,
including ample walking paths, wayfinding signage and furnishings
. ADA accessible routes,
. Lighting
. Safety and CPTED best practices
. Definition of character areas
. Landscape vegetation planted in sound methods of horticultural best-practices that promote the
longevity and survival of canopy and character-giving plants
All of these will be considered with long-term commitments in mind, such as maintenance and continuity of
quality.
Of particular interest to Sunny Isles Beach, we have the understanding that the trail improvements sought
need to be conceived in a manner that benefit the surrounding area's users and communities, as an
essential component to the success of this project. Demonstrating that the community's needs can be
addressed in tandem with improvements done in a manner sensitive to the people being served increases
value in value and role of public space to its serving community.
CGA also believes it is important that any improvements designed and planned are orchestrated
programmatically with those in the neighboring or adjacent areas so as to achieve the concerted, overall
goal for the entire area. Many of our experiences have included exactly these types of coordination,
including:
. Provision of recreational landscape improvements;
. Character lighting, furnishings and pedestrian amenities;
. Landscape Improvements coordinated with drainage considerations;
. Landscape vegetation selection with considerations to maintenance expenses;
. Alternate paving materials, including colored concrete and pavers, pervious pavers and textured
surfaces; .
. Wayfinding and signage;
. Seamless upgrades of the entire area's public spaces, working in coordination with design
guidelines driving architectural character of the built environment;
. Expansion of sidewalks and pedestrian areas to facilitate increased connectivity and multiple-use
patterns;
. Increased safety throughout pedestrian-use areas; and
. Provision of sustainable, green practices and standards to allow for increased environmental
soundness of improvements, including:
o Curbing heat islands brought on by over-exposure of paving surfaces to direct sunlight, thus
prolonging their longevity and life-span;
o Continuity of canopy coverage;

o Provision of shaded areas that promote pedestrian activity and facilitate outdoor uses; and
o Minimizing the impact on stormwater drainage systems through the use and detailing of
permeable surfaces.
Additionally, we comprehend the importance that the community and residents play in creating buy-in and
providing feedback about projects. Community input is as important to CGA as it is to the City, as we
will commit to including their voices in whatever procedural capacity the City deems appropriate to
achieve a successful product.

LIBRARY PARK
Weston, Florida
J
In 2005, the City of Weston approached CGA with the idea to design and develop a
passive park on six acres of land located adjacent to the new Weston Branch of the
Broward County Library. The City received a small grant from the State of Florida,
Division of Recreation and Parks to assist with the development of the park. CGA
oversaw all aspects of the development of the park from the conceptual design and site
details to the permitting, bidding and construction.
From the beginning, the City wanted a strong connection between the park and the
Library. A paved walkway leads visitors from the Library directly to a large circular
fountain and the "Ring of Florida Authors." The low walk and seating area contains 20
bronze plaques highlighting the literary works of famous authors and playwrights with
a connection to Florida. In addition, there is a series of gazebos with terraced seating to
accommodate groups from 5 to 6 people, up to 40 to 50 people, in size. The design of the
park also features a "walk of discovery," consisting of a series of 10 bronze plaques
inlaid in the park's meandering sidewalk that depicts the history of the area dating back
to the Tequesta Indians.
The park project also includes both site lighting and specialty lighting, as well as a
restroom building and a large open, grassed area. All of the walkways, seating areas and
site features are completely A.D.A accessible.

GATOR RUN PARK
Weston, Florida
\
J
Gator Run Park is located in the City of Weston adjacent to Gator Run Elementary
School. Early design concepts incorporated three-dimensional landforms to create a
more spatially interesting and interactive park. The landforms were limited in size to
the amount of muck fill that had been relocated on the site. Thus, careful consideration
and calculation of fill material was undertaken. Three earthen mounds of varying
elevations were designed along with appropriately graded handicap accessible
walkways. The range in topography facilitated a range of planting concepts and diverse
programmatic elements. The park is primarily passive in nature with ample walk and
pathways. There are several active elements including a multi-purpose field associated
with the adjacent school and a sand volleyball area. One goal or program element for the
park was to create an area designed to attract butterflies, display native plant species,
and serve as a nature trail. Trails that are part of a larger network, with greater grade
changes, are intended for more rigorous activities including jogging, and/or
rollerblading.

92nd STREET PARK
Bay Harbor Islands, Florida
As a component of the Town-wide parks and open space master plan discussions
moderated by CGA, an under-utilized parking lot was converted to a park space. The
program for the park included an open green lawn area that could serve for multiple
functions and a dedicated dog run area. Under a very tight and demanding schedule,
CGA designed, permitted and provided construction administration services for the
entirety of the park. At its core, the park design sought to establish an urban
relationship with its surrounding walk-to context. The design provides an urban plaza
that is open and accessible at all times, in addition to the multi-use field and dog areas,
which are only open during daytime hours. The design was articulated to provide as
much space as users can personalize with various seating options to facilitate visitors'
use of the facilities, as well as exercise equipment, doggie agility equipment, water
fountains, solar-powered lighting and ample use of shade.

VISTA PARK - PHASE I & II
Weston, Florida
CGA and Ocampo & Associates, Inc., the project's architects, developed Vista Park with multiple ball
fields, a maintenance building, concession stands, and public restrooms. It is adjacent to Cypress Bay
High School. The Park accommodates active recreational pursuits including four baseball fields, four
soccer fields, concession buildings, and restroom facilities. Passive needs were met through the
creation of a waterfront greenway fronting an existing canal, connecting picnic areas, fishing stations,
and park elements through a densely shaded corridor. CGA provided site planning, grading and
drainage design, permitting, irrigation and construction administration services, including bidding and
permitting in 2009. The City of Weston asked CGA to provide a master plan for the development of the
Phase II area of the park.

5TH AVENUE LINEAR PARK
Dania Beach, Florida
The site for the linear park is a 2-mile stretch of parcels that abut 5th Avenue in Dania Beach. The site
posed several challenges that needed innovative design solutions in order to successfully work. The
first of these was that the site was not continuous - it was a fragmented context interrupted by
repetitive street intersections and of inconsistent width throughout. The second is that the site has
different frontages - at times it is bound by residential properties' side fences, at times it is bound by
the front property line of homes and their driveway access, and at times it is bound by suburban-style
shopping centers. The third is that the area presently serves as the drainage swale for 5th Avenue,
and, because of the presence of West Lake Park's wetlands to the east of 5th Avenue, the soil had
poor percolation qualities and it best serves as retention areas. The budget and the context did not
facilitate engineered drainage solutions; therefore the park design had to account for solutions to
these as well. The result was a design that unified all the fragments of the park through a sightline
organization of gardens spaces: these were intimately scaled so they best related to the residential
scale and qualities, while it provided for a strategy that facilitated the provision of art at strategic
locations to create a unifying experience throughout. The drainage was resolved through the use of
sustainable strategies to site design. Water absorbing vegetation was placed, percolation was
increased and water retention areas were strategized to conform to the design so as to become a
design component and not an after-thought.

SOMBRERO BEACH INTERPRETIVE SIGNAGE
Marathon, Florida
\
J
)
)
\
)
As a component of the overall Sombrero Beach Park redesign and construction
performed, CGA also developed a series of interpretive signs to accompany the rules and
information signs included in the park. The interpretive signs were focused on
providing an educational component to the park, by educating park visitors on the
importance of the park site as a turtle nesting habitat and on the impact of human
intervention on the sensitivity of their survival. The signs were designed in a way so
each plaque (only one shown above) was dedicated to each of the four species know to
nest on Marathon Key. The plaques were also accompanied by a series of informational
matrices that provided basic information about each species, as compared to one
another - such as size, habitat, food and unique characteristics. The signs were all
fabricated using an innovative polymer laminate that was UV A and UVB resistant, as
well as they could sustain severe impacts without incurring any damage (we tested the
material by taking a hammer to a sample of the product where it didn't get a scratch)
and spray paint could be easily washed off with a quick solvent. The photograph shown
above was shot eight years after installation, and the vividness of the color and newness
of the sign material still remains intact as it was when it was initially installed.

RE: Letter of Recommendation - Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc.
To Whom It May Concern:
The City of Weston has contracted with Calvin, Giordano & Associates,
Inc. (CGA) for professional consulting services since 1996 and continues
to do so. Since being employed by the City in 1997, I have continued
to be impressed by the firms' professionalism and the depth of
experience that their staff brings to our specific needs. CCA staff has
provided exceptional services for our City in response to Traffic, Civil
and Electrical Engineering, Planning, Landscape Architecture, and
Survey concerns.
In my experiences with CGA, they have taken full responsibility for all
aspects of projects from start to finish. Deadlines are met and the quality
of the work has consistently been exceptional. They have distinguished
themselves from other firms by their quality of customer service,
performance, diligence and punctuality.
I can say without hesitation that they have gone above and beyond the
current industry standards, and I would recommend Calvin, Giordano &
Associates, Inc. to provide you with these services.
Sincerely,
