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 Calvin, Giordano February 2011.
4. Walnut Creek Community Development District vs. Standard Pacific of South Florida, GP, Inc., Et Al,
Case No. CACE10019353. 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.

QUALIFICATIONS
We began as M.E. Berry & Associates in 1937 and became Berry & Calvin in 1985. Twelve years later, the
transformation was made to Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. (CGA). From the beginning, much of our
reputation was built on repeat business with clients from the public and private sectors. Our success is
reflected in the quality of work we consistently provide and also in the personal approach we take with
each client. The winning combination is affirmed by the fact that CGA grew steadily during an economy that
was not only challenging but also daunting to many larger firms in Florida these past few years. We focus
on adding professionals and technology that address the needs of our South Florida customers instead of
simply adding new branch office addresses.
Founded in Hollywood, our main office is now in Fort Lauderdale, within Port Everglades. Today, our firm
employs more than 200 professionals who provide a broad range of civil engineering, transportation/
traffic engineering, landscape architecture, planning, surveying, permitting, environmental specialty
services, data technology (including Geographic Information Systems), and construction services. In
addition to our Fort Lauderdale office, we now have offices in West Palm Beach, Homestead, Clearwater,
Port St. Lucie, Atlanta, and Jacksonville.
The firm’s municipal experience in South Florida is enviable. We currently or previously served as con‐
sultants to many municipalities including Sunny Isles Beach, Bay Harbor Islands, Surfside, Miami Springs,
Miami Beach, Medley, Palmetto Bay, Weston, Pembroke Pines, Miramar, Wellington, Hollywood, Davie,
Dania Beach, North Miami Beach, West Palm Beach, Riviera Beach, Lake Park, Lantana, Islamorada, and
Marathon.
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.
GENERAL CIVIL ENGINEERING
Throughout all phases of a project, CGA makes a commitment to provide the utmost levels
of quality control and professionalism in the realization of the client’s vision and plan.
Additionally, we take great pride in always seeking mechanisms and means through
which projects can be more sustainable on our economy and environment. CGA
engineering staff also creates, review, and update the codes, standards and ordinances
for a number of municipalities. In addition, we perform engineering site plan and
engineering construction permit reviews for Dania Beach, West Park, and Weston.

residential roadways to large multi‐lane highways and interstates. We
work with the FDOT on re‐grading, striping, drainage improvements,
implementation of ADA requirements, turn‐lane additions, widening,
and median modifications, and public information/participation.
We have designed streetscape improvements with a particular
attention to pedestrian safety for such municipalities as the Cities of
Doral and Weston, and the Town of Bay Harbor Islands.
In additions, we have designed and permitted parking improvements
such as the Dania Beach Park N Go, and the parking fields for
Pembroke Lakes Square, Pembroke Gardens. Specifically, in terms of
roadway/streetscape related services we include;
Roadway Engineering Design & Permitting Design of Traffic Calming Measures
Corridor Studies Pavement Marking & Signage
Intergovernmental Agency Coordination Parking Supply & Demand Analysis
Roadway Beautification Projects Emergency Evacuation Studies & Planning
Conceptual Engineering & Design
Alternatives Analysis
Major Roadway Improvements Design and
Permitting
Roadway Drainage Design & Permitting Utility Relocation Design & Coordination
Roadway Lighting Design Neighborhood Improvement Projects
Parking Lot Design Milling & resurfacing projects
Civil Engineering for Parks and Recreational Facilities
Calvin Giordano & Associates, Inc. (CGA) has performed engineering services for a number of parks
throughout South Florida. This has involved the design of drainage and under‐drain systems, grading of
sports fields, parking lot/pedestrian/sports field lighting, the design of parking lots, the extension of
utilities to new or renovated structures, and the overall storm water management system design and
permitting.
Some of the parks in which CGA’s engineering have been involved include; Tequesta Trace Park, Eagle Point
Park, Overtown Park, Weston Regional Park, Cooper City Sports Complex, Bay Harbor Islands 92nd Street
Park, 5th Avenue Linear Park, and many others.
Civil Engineering for Facilities
CGA has provided civil engineering services for many municipal sites including city halls, public works
compounds, community centers, city garages and other city structures. This includes the design of paving,
grading, and drainage, water & sewer, pavement marking & signage, storm water pollution prevention
plans and offsite roadway improvements among others. We have brought these designs from the
preliminary stages through the permitting, construction, and certification process for a number of
governmental clients.
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.
RFQ #12‐06‐01, Construction Management Services for Gateway Park Page 2| 3
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 I&I
study on the wastewater collection system of the Town of Surfside.
Our team has provided designed pump stations for variety of application including storm water, 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 (i.e. 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
Storm Water Management
CGA has been the Drainage/Storm Water 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.
RFQ #12‐06‐01, Construction Management Services for Gateway Park Page 2| 4
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 storm water 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 storm water‐
related activities such as storm water 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).
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
CGA’s Electrical Department has broad capabilities for the infrastructure and the end use development for
municipal, commercial, and industrial projects. The types of services provided include:
Power Distribution Communication System Distribution
Interior Lighting Telephone
Area Lighting Cable TV
Street Lighting SCADA
Sports Lighting Energy Conservation
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
sub‐surface 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 360°
horizontal and 270° 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.
RFQ #12‐06‐01, Construction Management Services for Gateway Park Page 2| 5
Process
The process we employ is equally as important as the equipment we deploy. All survey requests are
assigned to a licensed surveyor and mapper who acts as the project manager. In addition, fieldwork is
researched and calculated in the office for the crews prior to going out into the field. The required data is
collected electronically using total station instruments, and then downloaded at the end of the day into our
computer system for analysis and processing. This data is then provided to our technicians to create the
final product, all under the watchful eye of the project manager. The final product is delivered to the client
after undergoing our Quality Assurance/Quality Control process.
Safety
Safety is a primary concern at Calvin Giordano & Associates. Therefore, a mandatory maintenance of traffic
(MOT) training is held twice a year for our field crews and field crew supervisors. Monthly Safety meetings
are held for the field personnel with a different topic discussed each month. Our field vehicles are
equipped with strobe lights, proper signage, safety vests and cones.

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
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 multi‐disciplinary 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.

Planning Today’s Diplomat Resort Hotel is a 41‐story dual tower with more than 1,000
guestrooms overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in Hollywood, Florida. The hotel is an
111,400‐square‐foot complex featuring two eight‐story parking garages, a
championship golf course, tennis facilities, yacht slips, swimming pools, shops,
restaurants, meeting rooms, and convention center that includes banquet halls. An
associated condominium tower is being planned. The Diplomat also includes a 30,000‐
square‐foot, world‐class European‐style spa in Hallandale Beach.
CGA prepared the civil/site design of the hotel and country club area, including a
stormwater management system, master and sanitary sewer system, and fire protection
calculations. Site and construction surveys were also conducted. In addition to the
civil/site design, CGA designed the widening and reconstruction of SR A1A to
accommodate the resort’s traffic flow. The existing roadway was widened outside of the
existing right‐of‐way, which required a significant amount of drainage and utility
coordination. CGA worked with FDOT and constructed a pedestrian bridge that crosses
A1A, linking the hotel to a complex of retail stores and dining establishments along the
Intracoastal Waterway.
CGA also prepared the planning entitlements (plat, site plan, land use and zoning).

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. The total cost of the park was $2.2 million,
and it opened in October 2008. Page 2| 20

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.

Shops at Pembroke Gardens is a 400,000 sq. ft. Lifestyle Center designed to promote a
vibrant, dynamic, and successful pedestrian retail environment. Located on
approximately forty (40) acres within the City of Pembroke Pines, Shops at Pembroke
Gardens provides a unique pedestrian shopping experience consisting of a variety of
national, regional, and local retailers. Anchoring the Shops at Pembroke Gardens are
Loehmann’s, DSW, Barnes & Noble, and Golf Galaxy.
CGA processed the plat, master site plan, and rezoning for the site. The site was rezoned
from A‐1 to Planned Commercial Development (PCD), and CGA worked with the
developer and the City to create design guidelines tailored specifically to the project.
The guidelines were written to provide sufficient flexibility to each retailer to bring
forth its unique image and identity, resulting in a true downtown shopping experience.
Additionally, CGA processed site plan amendment applications for the Lifestyle Center’s
perimeter buildings, each of which required separate architectural review and approval. Page 2| 22

The Pineapple Grove area is located within the Central Core District of Delray Beach’s
CRA. This area is a unique, arts‐oriented section of the downtown that contains a mix of
commercial, residential and Industrial uses. It was designated a Florida Main Street
Community and adopted by the City in 1998. The objectives of the CRA’s plan for this
area is to transform Pineapple Grove from a vehicular‐oriented to a pedestrian friendly
environment. One mechanism for accomplishing this task is to allow infill development
to occur within the existing private parking lots along Pineapple Grove Way. This would
provide continuous storefronts along the street, which would encourage greater
pedestrian movements. To this end, CGA transformed a vacant lot in the Pineapple
Grove Area into a much needed parking within an Industrial zone on N.E. 3rd Avenue.
This project did not just introduce 14 parking spaces, but incorporated a central plaza,
raised planter seat walls, incorporated the City’s signature lighting, provided for two
areas to display public art, and included handicap access. To expand the CRA’s desire to
incorporate green principals into the design, this project was the pilot for utilizing
pervious pavers both in the plaza and parking spaces. LED lighting was also included as
well as a low flow water conserving irrigation design. The large Cathedral Oaks
proposed were included to provide a shady space for pedestrians and artists and also to
reduce the heat island effect. Page 2| 23

their adopted master plan, without compromising the integrity of the corridor’s
importance as one of the few remaining stretches to boast predominantly well‐
preserved MiMo buildings. The project’s scope includes paving design, landscape
planting improvements, lighting and street furnishings. The project is presently in the
permitting phase, and CGA will be coordinating the Town’s improvements with FDOT’s
plans to provide improvements on the corridor’s roadway. The project was funded
through the LAP process, for which CGA provided all administrative services.

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. Page 2| 25

APPROACH / METHODOLOGY
Suitability of Methodology and Approach
Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. (CGA) has an experienced and diverse staff in the field of construction
management. Our methods of approaching studies and projects have proved extremely effective for clients
throughout South Florida.
The CGA Team has provided the City of Sunny Isles Beach with superior quality work for the duration of
our project management contract. As a result of this relationship, CGA is intimately familiar with the City’s
standards and personnel. Aside from these factors, the CGA Team is qualified to be the owner’s
Construction Managers Support for implementation of capital improvement projects because of our
extensive work with local municipalities and their Capital Improvement Programs.
Understanding the Scope of Work
The first step in any successful project is gaining a complete understanding of the scope and your clients
needs and desires prior to commencement. CGA is familiar with the City’s staff and logistics from previous
projects within the City of Sunny Isles Beach and its surrounding areas. Moreover, CGA has personal
relationships with the City of Sunny Isles Beach, its surrounding municipalities and all Agencies Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ). These personal relationships allow us to tailor our expertise to your needs, providing an
expedited process which exceeds the City’s expectations.
Once CGA has been issued a Notice to Proceed we will schedule a “kick off” meeting with the City and all
necessary CGA and support staff to discuss the project specific scope of work, and the City’s expectation of
CGA and the selected design build firm. Immediately following this meeting we will hold an in house
meeting to discuss the project planning, controls and implementation.
Project Planning & Controls
As a result of our previous experience with the City, we are fully aware of the requirements and
expectations of the City in regards to CIP project management. We also understand that no matter the task
or phase of the project, the best formula for success is control and planning. Chris Giordano, Assistant
Project Manager on this RFQ, served as the Projects Control Manager for the 3rd largest heavy civil marine
contractor in the US prior to his employment with CGA. Mr. Giordano utilizes this experience to lay the
foundation of every project with proper planning at the onset, and proper controls throughout the duration
of the project. This formula has proven successful on many of CGAs Construction Management projects,
which is shown by the delivery of on‐time projects that are completed within budget. CGA utilizes
Primavera Scheduling or Microsoft Project (varies by client preference), S Curves, cost loading &
estimation, and baselines for both construction progress and construction costs to quickly identify any
portion of the project which needs to be addressed before it can become an issue.
This step commences with our CGA in house meeting. At this meeting, the scope will be assigned to the
relevant in‐house departments. A project plan, schedule, and controls will be developed. After approval by
the City of our schedule and controls, these will be set as the “baseline” for this project. This baseline will
allow CGA and the City to more accurately monitor the project’s progress.
Communication
CGA staff communicates with our clients on a daily, if not hourly basis in person, via email and phone to
ensure that the client is always kept up to speed and any adjustments that need to be made are completed
quickly. We also acknowledge the major stakeholder in any CIP project are the residents. Recently, CGA
has utilized our in‐house Data Development/Creative Design Staff to create a project specific website.
4
Section
RFQ #12‐06‐01, Construction Management Services for Gateway Park Page 4| 2
These sites allow the residents and other stakeholders to access up‐to‐date information in an easy to use
graphical interface 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
This step will begin immediately with the City, but will not begin with the residents until all information
has been submitted to the City for review and approval prior to becoming public information. We are
aware of the delicate nature of work being performed within neighborhoods and public right of ways and
would not want to jeopardize the relationship between the City and its residents. This step will also
continue through project completion.
Project Implementation
CGA will aggressively peruse the completion of each phase of this project. Again, CGA has a vast experience
with local municipalities and we are aware of the sensitive nature that is CIP budgets & schedules. Many
stakeholders, residents and elected officials are watching these projects from their homes on a daily basis
and this brings with it extra pressure to perform. CGA’s main office is located in South Florida and much of
our staff is in the Sunny Isles Beach area on a daily basis. This will help us facilitate our aggressive
schedule. Throughout the process weekly progress meetings will be held to ensure that every entity
involved is up to speed and all loose ends are being followed up.
Construction Management and Administration – Per the RFQ, CGA will provide certified and
registered staff that will remain on‐site a minimum of six hours per working day to guide and
administer all construction processes in representation of the City. These services provide ease of
mind that conflicts will be quickly resolved, surprises will be minimized and final budgeted costs
will be held through to completion.
Meetings and Visits CGA will coordinate and document the following through the overall team:
Pre‐Construction meeting
Value Engineering meetings
Attendance of resident information meetings
Weekly construction meetings
Contract specific meetings
Specialty A/E Consultant site visits
Equipment start‐ups
Field Inspections ‐ The lead inspector or assistant inspector will document the following on a daily basis:
Weather Conditions
Contractors work force and description of work
Subcontractors on site and work force
All equipment onsite and utilized
Visitors to project site
Tests and results
Construction difficulties and measures taken
Significant delays
Disputes between City, Resident Engineer, or Contractor

Record of materials
Summary of field meetings
Any non conforming work
Log of photos taken
MOT Inspections
Request for services during tie‐ins
RFQ #12‐06‐01, Construction Management Services for Gateway Park Page 4| 3
Record Keeping & Project Close Out
CGA has served as a CM representative for numerous South Florida municipalities. Throughout this time,
we have proven our knowledge of record retention laws, a very important issue for audits and public
record requests. In fact, the City of Weston felt so highly of our organizational skills and knowledge of
record retention law, we were hired to remove, reorganize and re‐file all of their building department files.
All relevant files will be kept at CGA’s main office where our file room is fire suppressed and our servers are
backed up to an onsite tape as well as an offsite server vault. This triple redundant system ensures that our
client’s files are never in jeopardy. At the completion of your project, the City will be presented with a
binder and electronic copy of the project specific files.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)
CGA is committed to providing Exceptional Solutions through quality services and work products in a
manner that promotes the highest level of freedom from deficiencies while seeking the highest level of
customer satisfaction. To that end, CGA has developed the structure and dedicated the staff required to
achieve these commitments. The QA/QC process is completed under the leadership of Jonathan N. Cooper,
PE, CGA’s Director of Quality Assurance. Mr. Cooper brings over 24 years of engineering and construction
expertise to this task and will custom craft a QA/QC plan specifically designed to meet the needs of this
project.
As Gateway Park is a Construction Management project, a Quality Control Plan will be developed based on
the following guidelines:
QC Plan Development Guidelines for Construction Management
Introduction
A contractor quality control plan (CQCP) is the documentation of the contractor's process for delivering the
level of construction quality required by the contract. This document is intended to provide guidance to
contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers as to what is expected from CQCPs and what the criteria for
accepting and using the requirements for these plans will be.
The CQCP is a framework for the contractor's process for delivering quality construction. The plans and
specifications define the expected results or outcome. The CQCP outlines how those results will be
achieved. While it is not possible to determine from the CQCP whether the level of construction quality will
be acceptable, it is possible to verify that the contractor, as an organization, has addressed the basic
elements of its quality process. These guidelines address not only what should be in the CQCP in order for it
to be acceptable to the City of Sunny Isles Beach, but also what elements the City of Sunny Isles Beach's QA
process needs to have in order to assure quality without usurping the contractor's responsibilities.
Outline of Contractor Quality Control Plan Requirements
a. Process control testing. List the material to be tested, tests to be conducted, the location of sampling,
and the frequency of testing
b. Inspection/control procedures. Address each of the following subjects in each phase of construction:
1. Preparatory phase
a. Review all contract requirements
b. Ensure compliance of component material to the contract requirements
c. Coordinate all submittals including certifications
d. Ensure capability of equipment and personnel to comply with the contract requirements
e. Ensure preliminary testing is accomplished
f. Coordinate surveying and staking of the work
RFQ #12‐06‐01, Construction Management Services for Gateway Park Page 4| 4
2. Startup phase
a. Review the contract requirements with personnel who will perform the work
b. Inspect startup of work
c. Establish standards of workmanship
d. Provide training as necessary
e. Establish detailed testing schedule based on the production schedule
3. Production phase
a. Conduct intermittent or continuous inspection during construction to identify and correct
deficiencies
b. Inspect completed phases before scheduled Government acceptance
c. Provide feedback and system changes to prevent repeated deficiencies
d. Description of records. List the records to be maintained
e. Personnel qualifications
4. Document the name, authority, relevant experience, and qualifications of person with overall
responsibility for the inspection system
5. Document the names, authority, and relevant experience of all personnel directly responsible for
inspection and testing
Plan Development
Unless the contractor already has a documented company QC plan, it may be helpful to discuss what is
required and how detailed it will be. Generally, discussion of the basic who, what, where, when, and how
should comprise three to six pages, with an additional two to four pages of detailed information for each
major category of work. This is not including supplemental materials such as subcontractor/ supplier
plans, certifications, test data, and personnel résumés. Also, if the QC plan contains a lot of repetitions of
contract specifications, meaningless platitudes from quality textbooks, and other fluff, its necessary length
will be longer.
Qualityand the processes that deliver qualityis a somewhat open ended concept. No matter how much detail
is in the plan, it can always be argued that more could be, or should be, included.
Organizational Structure
One of the first issues a contractor or any organization must face when designing its QC/QA procedures, is
how these systems will relate to and impact its organizational structure.
Separate Quality Staff
It is intended that the Gateway Park project be staffed by separate quality staff as deemed necessary by the
Director of Quality assurance.
Testing
Testing provides a reflection of quality and the process. But only changes to the process can improve
quality. Extensive testing needed to identify defects so that they can be corrected is an indication of a poor
process. Ideally, frequencies of QC testing are dependent on characteristics of the overall process. In a
transition environment, however, when contractors are not used to designing comprehensive QC systems,
it may be necessary for the agency to provide guide frequencies to minimize the risk of serious deficiencies
undetected until late in the process.
The type, quantity and/or frequency of testing will be established by the Director of Quality Assurance
prior to the commencement of construction. This shall be based on the scope of work and the contract
documents and will be subject to refinement as the project proceeds.
RFQ #12‐06‐01, Construction Management Services for Gateway Park Page 4| 5
Defects
Acceptance of defects will be based on the following schedule:
The plan is based on an acceptable of 5 percent defects
If defects rise to 10 percent, that suggests additional process control testing and other actions maybe
indicated, including product removal
If defects rise to 15 percent or higher, this indicates serious process control problems, and the
contractor must modifies the process control procedure to address the problem
In addition to those tests specifically required by the contract, the contractor is required to tabulate in the
CQCP all process control testing which will be necessary to assure that the work and material comply with
the terms of the contract when they are ultimately subjected to quality assurance testing.
Inspection/Control Procedures
The following areas of construction shall be subject to inspection for substantial compliance:
Grading and Drainage
Utility piping
Masonry
Pavement Structure
Permanent Traffic Control
Safety Appurtenances
Seeding and Landscaping
Structures
Temporary Traffic Control
Who, What, Where, When, and How?
For each category and phase of the operation, the QC plan should answer these questions as they relate to
the category and phase:
Who will be responsible for QC during the operation? The Quality Control Technician may be assigned
responsibility for testing and documentation and perhaps even training and monitoring of startup. As the
operation moves toward production, however, foremen or other supervisory personnel will probably be
assigned increasing responsibility. If the management official is too high in the organization‐say the overall
project superintendent‐then it is less likely he/she will have the time to perform detailed QC functions. In
that case, subordinate personnel should be specifically identified.
What will that person do to ensure contract compliance? What authority will the person have over
operations? What portion of the time the operation is in progress will the identified person actually be
present to perform QC responsibilities? Testers and inspectors cannot control quality if their
responsibilities are limited to testing, measuring, and documentation. "What" should address not only
personnel but materials and equipment used in the construction. These items often have stated or implied
contract requirements, and the QC system must verify that those requirements are met.
Where will these activities be performed? Will optional process control testing be performed on‐site or
at a commercial laboratory? Will manufactured materials be inspected at the plant, at the contractor's
facility, or at the site of work? Will the equipment be inspected at the yard, or will inspections be performed
at the site?
When will these activities be performed? The earlier QC activities are performed, the more latitude the
contractor has in dealing with problems. However, when activities are performed too early, there is a risk
of unforeseen changes or glitches prior to actual construction. When will test results be available? This is a
key component of the QC plan that determines largely how responsive it can be to deficiencies.
RFQ #12‐06‐01, Construction Management Services for Gateway Park Page 4| 6
How will inspections be performed? Using a standard checklist? Using the specifications themselves
(quality assurance criteria), etc.? The more generalized and vague the inspection procedures are, the more
likely they will not be consistently effective. However, not having a checklist is not a cause for disapproving
a QC plan unless a checklist is specifically required.
The CQCP should minimize any parroting or paraphrasing of requirements in the contract, and should
avoid simply promising to comply with the contract. These kinds of statements and assurances are of
essentially no added value. The CQCP must go beyond the contract requirements and address the
contractor's organizational process for consistently delivering those requirements.
Subcontractors and Suppliers
When subcontractors and suppliers provide part of the work, then the QCP needs to be clear whether their
QC responsibilities will be independent or a part of the prime contractor's responsibilities. If they are
independent, then the subcontractors or suppliers QCP must be developed and submitted for approval,
through the prime. Otherwise, the prime must address how it will monitor and verify
subcontractor/supplier quality as a part of its plan. In either case the prime is contractually responsible for
all the work, but being contractually responsible is not the same as having an active role in the quality
delivery process.
Manufactured Materials
An important part of the CQCP is the process for verifying that manufactured materials comply with the
requirements of the contract. Materials inspection will subject to the quantity of materials provided per
category.
Records and Documentation
While good documentation is often a reflection of good quality control, documentation is not the same
thing as quality control. Documentation should be the minimum necessary to concisely document the
adequate function of the process. As‐built survey documentation will be provided based on the
requirements of the Contract Documents.
Personnel Qualifications
While some contracts may have specific required qualifications for contractor quality control and testing
personnel, the initial judgment as to whether a given person is or is not qualified is generally left to the
contractor. However, during contract administration, CGA may be more assertive in monitoring the
qualifications of these personnel. When the contract has specific experience requirements, the contractor
should describe how the person's previous training and experience addresses these requirements.
Contractor Evaluation
Evaluations are made of five individual elements, plus an overall evaluation:
Quality of Work
Timely Performance
Effectiveness of Management
Compliance With Labor Standards
Compliance With Safety Standards
The first of these five elements, Quality of Work, essentially overlaps the contractor's inspection system
requirements. That is, a contractor that fails to maintain an effective quality control (inspection system)
will generally warrant an unsatisfactory rating in the Quality of Work category. Deficient contractors must
be clearly notified of the deficiencies and provided an opportunity to correct them.
RFQ #12‐06‐01, Construction Management Services for Gateway Park Page 4| 7
Evaluations may be used in part for determinations of responsibility prior to award of sealed bid contracts
or in evaluating past performance as a part of source selection for a negotiated contract.
If the prime contractor's performance would be evaluated as satisfactory but for the performance of a
major subcontractor, it is permissible to execute a separate evaluation of the subcontractor, following the
same rules as if it were a prime.
