Government Cut Utility Relocation – Fisher Island Port Miami Tunnels – Miami Dade County, FL As a sub-consultant, NV5 provided Geotechnical Engineering and Construction Materials Testing services for the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department largest Design-Build project to date, The Government Cut Utility Relocation Project. The project consisted of a fast track design-build for a new water and sewer main using micro-tunneling and horizontal direction drilling technology at the Port of Miami. The project consisted of lowering existing utilities before the Port of Miami Deep Dredge Project’s operation; a 100’ deep and 1,800’ long 24- inch diameter horizontal direction drill water main from the Port of Miami to Fisher Island to replace an existing 20-inch water main; and a 72-inch diameter micro-tunnel from Fisher Island to an in-water shaft south of Miami Beach. The in-water shaft was constructed at a depth of approximately 80 feet. The 1,100’, 72-inch micro-tunnel, installed at a depth of 80 feet, carries a new 60-inch diameter sewage force main, replacing the existing force main, which transmitted wastewater from Miami Beach, Surfside and Bal Harbor to the County’s force main pipeline in Fisher Island, connecting to the Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant on Virginia Key. In order to assist the Design-Builder with commencing construction while the design was in progress, the design team leader divided the design into 15 different work packages. Owner approvals, design reviews and permitting efforts were broken up into small work packages, allowing construction to commence. Once site prep was completed and permits obtained, work on the deep shafts and directional drilling commenced.

ACES's strategy for performing integrated services within a municipal department is quite simple. We become a vital part of that department by maintaining constant and direct communication with the County staff that is either influencing or being influenced by our services. The reason we call it simple is because it is based on plain old common sense. If everyone involved with a project is aware of what is happening; things run smoother.

ECS Florida, LLC, realizes that our geotechnical engineering, construction material testing, threshold inspection, environmental services and facilities consulting services are a vital element in the overall successful completion of your projects. As such, we take a very active role in communicating with the owner; the projects design professionals, construction managers and contractor(s) to assist them in providing to the owner a quality project.

Project Management System and Reporting: ACES's project approach for this contract will be to faithfully execute the following tasks: 1. Open and maintain paths of

communication between the County and ACES in order to fully understand and exceed the expectations of the County.

2. Verify current testing, inspection, plan review, and permitting procedures and preferences of the internal staff of the County.

3. Confirm expected delivery deadlines.

4. Communicate constantly with the County in order to obtain the workload as soon as available.

5. Perform the required services in an efficient and accurate manner.

6. Provide on-going feedback to the permit holders, contractors, engineers, and architects as to the status and possible issues associated with their project.

7. Provide all required documentation to the County for record keeping.

8. Provide accurate accounting of time spent on projects as it relates to billings.

9. Constantly confirm with the County staff that ACES is meeting or exceeding expectations.

Yes, we do realize that #1 and #9 are essentially the same task, but we believe that it is so critical to the proper flow and mutual satisfaction of this project that communication be stressed between ACES and the County. Given our history of commitment to client satisfaction and our years of experience providing Professional Engineering Testing Services, ACES is confident that we will meet the needs of the County. We do not anticipate any constraints in providing a high

successful project management. Our business approach is to keep senior-level personnel involved in portions of work assignments where their expertise is warranted. Therefore, ECS’ Principal and Senior Engineers will be available to the County and your design teams for trouble-shooting difficult projects and field problems, for providing technical consultation, and issuing reports. Mr. Terrence Horan will be the single point of contact for the County. When a work order is issued under the contract, Mr. Horan will appoint the appropriate department manager to manage the individual work order based on the work required. Once the work is underway, the project/department manager will commit the appropriate staff resources to the work order until the project is completed. The project/department manager will remain involved until the work order is completed. As outlined in the project approach section, reporting for construction materials testing projects is completed daily and generally approved and issued within 24 hours of work completion. Reporting for the other three major service groups varies depending on the scope of work. In fact, we understand a wide range of services may be potentially provided to the County under this contract, and we will treat each work order as unique but with the following always in mind. ECS will maintain the single point of contact throughout the project. Mr. Horan, along with the department managers on a rotating basis, will meet with representatives of the County on a regular basis to ensure your needs are being met.

We are committed to being a true “TEAM” member to the Broward County. We know that, from experience, for this contract to be successful, the County will need a firm such as “NOVA” who truly has the past experience and expertise to assist the city from beginning of the contract through the duration of operation. NOVA has fully examined this RFQ for Plan Review & Inspection Services and completely understands the requirements. NOVA is more than capable of performing the scope of services outlined within this RFQ. NOVA’s objective is to create a partnership with the residents of the community, contractors, and design professionals. Our goal is to make the completion of their project as flawless as possible. We know that communication and compassion with our clients can assist in making what can be a daunting process more efficient, less confrontational and beneficial to all.

Maintaining the budget and responding quickly to the needs of the entity is also critical, and we herein commit to meet these requirements identified under this agreement. COMMUNICATION/ RESPONDING TO YOUR NEEDS RESPONSE: With our experienced multi-licensed personnel and three fully staffed office and laboratories, we have the ability to mobilize somebody to a project site on very short notice. In addition, each project engineer, project manager, field technician and drill crew has a cellular phone (most have smart phones with email capability) to further enhance our response time and communication between team members allowing our project managers and engineers to extend job site in-put when required without delay. What does this mean to Broward County? You can expect our services to be provided on a fast track and expedited basis. AVAILABILITY: A Nutting manager arrives at the office at 6 A.M. Monday through Friday. The phones are turned over to an in-house voice mail service at approximately 5:15 P.M.; however, members of the management team are available on their cellular phones for after-hour as well as normal business hour and weekend emergencies.

What does this mean to Broward County? We are available 24/7. SCHEDULING: While proper notice (prior day) is requested, we have been in the construction industry long enough to know this is not always possible. By cross training our field technicians, drillers and inspectors to perform a wider variety of services, and by having project engineers and managers familiar with a wide variety of project types and local conditions, we have a greater resource to pull from. What does this mean to Broward County? When you need us, we are there!

In addition, list all projected projects that Vendor will be working on in the near future. Projected projects will be defined as a project(s) that Vendor is awarded

PSI’s Fort Lauderdale location has no pending large contracts. Workload/Project Scheduling Approach The nature of PSI’s consulting business is performing many tasks of relatively short duration for multiple clients. Our typical workload of projects is made up of many short duration assignments. Even our long-term contracts are of the indefinite quantity type, and thus, actual workload is dependent upon the release of individual

Our current major project is the Terminal 1 Expansion at Ft. Lauderdale International Airport. We are working on several other smaller projects. However, we can handle additional workload, as necessary, since we do have some members working part time who can be ramped up to full time. In addition, we are always on the lookout for new talent. Hence, we believe we can handle the additional workload that could come our way, should we get this contract.

Based on our successful history and extensive geotechnical engineering and testing experience, RADISE foresees no issues in meeting the County's schedule or any other requirements for the Professional Engineering Testing Services contract. We have a full-time staff of 52 including professional engineers, field and lab technicians, drillers, inspectors and support personnel. RADISE

contract for Broward County. These projects will in no way hinder our ability to perform for the testing services contract or distract us from exceeding your expectations. Unique Challenges One of the unique challenges on the I-75 segment E project required field connectivity to the FDOT’s laboratory information management system (LIMS). Time for data entry and budget for the same was not available to accomplish this requirement. Solution - Terracon provided all engineering technician staff with field laptops and wireless “hotspots” via cellular devices and conducted appropriate field training in usage and connectivity to the FDOT LIMS program. Data was entered in real-time and uploaded to the system prior to our technician staff leaving the project site by close of business each day. Similar innovative solutions will be applied to any situation that may arise throughout this contract, as the need for immediate test and inspection results is paramount to meet your construction schedules.

TSF schedules a preconstruction meeting with the contractor to introduce our personnel assigned to the project. TSF also addresses the scope of work, scheduling, cost saving strategies, and our standard 24-hour response times. For each task order, Contractors call our office to schedule work to be performed. We ask for 24 hours’ notice; however, TSF makes every effort to accommodate last minute requests as well. All work is performed as discussed in the preconstruction meeting. TSF has utilized this approach in our interactions with Contractors over the past ten years. Our approach has resulted in projects being consistently completed on time and within budget. It has also created excellent working relationships with many local contractors. Below please find our Construction Materials Testing Project Approach: • Request for services with issue of

Smartphone reporting system (CSS) Immediate results notification

• Complete Inspection Log Book at the site for the assigned task

• Invoice monthly, backup reports provided

Construction Services System (CSS) TSF utilizes a smartphone reporting system called Construction Services System (CSS). With the system, TSF’s field technicians create an electronic draft report on site, which is immediately transmitted to TSF’s Project Manager as well as Owner representatives for same day reporting. All draft reports will then be checked by the TSF Project Manager and QA/QC officer. Following QA/QC, the reports for the specific project are billed on a daily basis and mailed or emailed weekly to all specified parties. Some benefits of CSS include: • Same day reporting • Immediate results from the field • Faster failed results notification • Improved efficiency • Reduced errors • Incorporates our commitment to

sustainability

Fast Track/Expedited Projects TSF’s standard response time for most common testing activities is 24 hours with notice via email, fax or phone call. These testing activities include but are not limited to: Proctor tests, field density tests (soil and asphalt), LBR tests, soil conductivity/resistivity tests, organic content tests, concrete cylinders, grout prisms/mortar cubes, concrete coring, and asphalt coring. Specific tasks may require additional preparation time prior to mobilizing to the site. If needed, TSF can

Page 26 of 40

respond to last minute/same day requests within 2 hours of contacting our office. We have technicians on job sites throughout Broward County that can respond to same day testing needs. Please note that should a Contractor forget to schedule testing, TSF provides the following solutions to minimize the impact on the project schedule: • Concrete: TSF performs concrete

cores or non-destructive testing, such as Windsor probe testing.

• Density: TSF tests by (1) potholing or (2) excavating and retesting.

Interaction With Regulatory Agencies We have an excellent working relationship with the Florida Department of Transportation as well as the South Florida Water Management District. When working within right of way of these agencies, Tierra South Florida will submit an application for request of work permit and obtain the proper authorization prior to proceeding with work. Tierra South Florida will then follow up with a meeting to explain the scope in detail, and notify the agency at completion.

PSI envisions our Team as an extension of your staff. As such, we take a special pride and ownership of the projects we serve. Over 30 years of experience with similar projects has provided us the background and qualifications to effectively manage schedule, budget and invoicing to best suit the client’s needs. Control of scheduling and an allotted budget are at the core of any project and PSI is committed to meet any County requirements on this contract. PSI recognizes that a rapid response to requests from the County is critical. Our goal is to meet or exceed the County’s expectations and to respond to all requests in a timely manner. We will do whatever is necessary to supply our services within any scheduling constraints. This commitment is easily made because of our large staff of experienced professionals, our modern equipment, the companywide computer network, and our employee’s mobile technology capabilities. Although we operate on a local level, the size of the PSI organization also allows us to offer and maintain low testing turn-around times relative to our industry. Rapid results lead to project efficiencies and in turn, budget savings. Should any unusual condition or technical challenge arise on your projects, our key team members can provide immediate advice and practical solutions. See response page 73 for further information.

Projects Terracon has managed range in size from $1 to 20 million and are multi-year (3-10 year) contracts with multiple renewals. Terracon has a proven success rate of renewals on continuing contracts that we hold. These include FDOT Districts 4 and 6, School Boards of Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, South Florida Water Management District and Palm Beach County to name a few. Our commitment to Broward County is to meet schedules and budgets to accommodate your projects. “On-call,” multi-year contracts are essentially a “bundle” of projects that require technical tracking systems to ensure completion of assignments on schedule and within budget. Often times, these are short duration (less than 3 months) projects with small budgets ($10 - 20,000). As an employee-owned, national firm, we have the ability to draw on resources locally (275+ in Florida and 3,800 nationally in 150 offices). Considering these resources, your projects will be assured the prompt and professional attention they deserve. Testing and inspection for any emergency utility remediation work along major streets sometimes may require night and weekend work to minimize disruption of traffic. Our team has the ability and capacity to respond within 24 hours of the first notification, and can handle all services required for this contract. We have a proven track record of timely response and meeting and/or exceeding the needs of our clients. See response pages 86-87 for further information.

Our typical backlog is made up of many short duration assignments. Even long-term contracts are of indefinite quantity type and thus, actual workload is dependent upon the release of individual work orders. We are fully capable and committed to County and the contract’s needs. TSF is confident of meeting all project schedules. TSF maintains strict internal timelines to ensure all work is completed in a timely manner. We are committed to staying on schedule throughout the duration of each assignment. All projects and task orders are initiated within 24 hours of authorization to proceed. By initiating tasks within the first 24 hours, TSF avoids a backlog of work waiting to be completed and, therefore, maintains the capacity and flexibility for all incoming assignments to be completed on schedule. Mr. Krishnasamy will work closely with the County and our sub-consultants to anticipate staffing commitments and ensure that the required staff is committed to the projects, maintaining the same personnel for each of the individual task orders whenever possible. Recent Workload Year / Contracted Projects / On Schedule / Completed / On-Going 2016 (1/1 - 8/26) / 290 / 100% / 80% / 20% TSF prides itself on maintaining a local, available, and responsive team. We are confident of meeting the project schedules. We are committed to exceeding your expectations and will always plan for enough capacity to meet your project needs, both anticipated and unanticipated. Our staff has the commitment and availability to successfully fulfill this contract and is also

Page 31 of 40

willing and able to work nights, holidays, and weekends as necessary. Our firm has the staff availability to effectively respond to multiple, varied and often simultaneous task authorizations. Regardless of the number of authorizations, complexity or size, TSF has been able to consistently deliver ALL projects on or ahead of schedule.

*Note: Terracon Consultants Response to Affirmative Answers:

Response to items 13, 18, and 19: As a large firm performing many projects, on very rare occasions we have terminated services on our projects prior to project completion. These situations usually arise from a failure to pay for those services, or from decisions to reduce our scope of service to the point where we are no longer comfortable, from a professional perspective, with the continuation of our services on a project. Again, we would stress that we perform several thousand projects annually and these situations arise very rarely and only after thorough efforts to reasonably resolve these issues.
