Inspect all installations by our Inspectors and ensure that as-builts are provided to the county before requesting an acceptance inspection. Co-ordinate with FPL the removal of services that are no longer required. Landscaping and Irrigation: Our experience in working on sidewalk areas has lead us to encounter conflicts with landscaping and irrigation systems for the adjacent properties. Adjacent properties place their facilities at the back edge of the sidewalks and are damaged during construction. These conflicts cause the most complaints from Citizens. The following are Key CEI Verification activities to be performed: Set up a pre-work meeting with the adjacent property owner to identify the irrigations systems and gather contact information in case of damages. Ensure that the contractor repairs any damages within 24 hours. Ensure contractor provides plant material that is harmonizing with the adjacent property during restoration. Impacts to Project: Along with construction activities, this project also requires cooperation by the project team to accomplish the following task that are key in satisfying County Commitments and State Regulations: Staging Areas: Proper selection of a staging area for these projects are key to avoid any adverse impacts to the adjacent properties. CIMA will coordinate the staging area for review and acceptance by the County. Access to Adjacent Properties: We understand that access to residence is a top concern. While it is inevitable that construction crews will need to work in front of side streets, driveways and businesses, the contractor must maintain alternate access routes during construction.

Team CIMA will have weekly utilities meetings with the entire project team to identify and assess any potential impacts to the utility and project schedule. TEAM CIMA will ensure that all utilities are identified ahead of time and evaluated for conflicts also track their progress till completion. Bus Routes: The contractor will be constructing new bus stop landings with in the project limits. Broward County Transit (BCT) provides bus service within the project limits. To continue the existing level of service, TEAM CIMA will ensure that bus stops in conflict with the proposed work are coordinated with BCT for their new temporary locations and acceptance of the new pads. Monthly and Final Estimates: CIMA has developed an effective way of reviewing and approving estimates on contracts. We will thoroughly review the pay items to make sure that the quantities are accurate and our backup tracking is developed before construction commences that contains the appropriate level of detail needed to ensure that the payments will be accurate. We will ensure that all required Page 8 of 52

Roderick ensures that the lines of communication are open between all stakeholders to confirm that the projects are built in accordance with the contract guidelines. Roderick will remain in constant contact with our project staff and the County s Project Manager and Contract Administrator to make sure we meet the intent of the project requirements and budget. The communication with the County s Project Manager, Contract Administrator and PIO staff will be via , phone and required progress meetings to advise them of the contractor s work schedules, pedestrian, transit, or vehicular impacts and unforeseen conditions encountered during the duration of the construction phase. Safety is a primary concern at AE and our staff is committed to keeping the public apprised of all activities to help ensure access and level of service to the traveling public and offices adjacent to the project. We truly believe that an informed stakeholder is an understanding stakeholder. In order to deliver a successful project, the following skills are crucial in order for the CEI Team to develop and maintain good working relationships with project stakeholders: 1) Proactive Relevant experience, Strong engineering and technical abilities, 2) Experienced Similar project experience and FTA Grant expertise 3) Communication Diligent coordination, our team is attentive to the concerns of all Stakeholders Our team will keep the County informed we will provide up-to-date project status and schedule information to the County and relevant project stakeholders, as well as to the residents, businesses, emergency services and government entities that will be directly affected by construction operations. Our team will develop a database, after the initial door-to-door public outreach, listing all the construction project activities and the affected parties contact information. This database will be used to maintain constant contact throughout the project durations ahead of each project tested by the CEI team to ensure compliance with the County and FDOT requirements. All tests will be performed at the same frequencies listed in the Contract & the FDOT standard specifications. CGA will ensure that the contractor uses the trackless tack as required in the latest specification edition. CGA understands the industry s latest challenges with tack balls, raveling & the use of nonelectronic paving machines. To ensure compliance, either the SPE or the PA will be present on the field during the paving operation to identify issues early & implement corrective measures. The contractor s paving machines will be checked daily & the CPPR process (or the process stipulated in the County s contract with the contractor) will be followed if the equipment doesn t meet our standard specification requirements. Our veteran inspection staff is experienced with earthwork construction & will ensure that all the proper testing is performed. Tracking of the earthwork quantities, proper documentation in the density log book & verification of cross sections are the most major issues related to earthwork on the project. We will verify the truck measures. The PA will perform QA checks on the Density Log Book on weekly basis. Our team will conduct a pre-earthwork meeting & the three way calibration test. The material source will be verified to ensure compliance with the contractor s QC plan. All testing & sampling will be performed by our inspection staff. Routes for trucks entering & exiting the project site hauling material will be discussed during the pre-con meeting. Ensuring that all ADA ramps, truncated domes, ramp landings are in compliance with the County and FDOT standard specifications are all critical to the success of the project. Proactive CGA Approach: CGA understands the importance of verifying that all ADA components are in compliance with the County and FDOT requirements. Our Senior Inspector, Mr. Julio Antonio, has extensive experience working on projects with bus bay and ADA improvements in the County and he will ensure that all sidewalks, monthly documentation and schedule updates are provided before any estimate is approved. Problem Solving: As engineers and engineering technicians were trained to solve problems. Previous discussions above have already provided solutions to our approach on issues. Approach to CEI Services: CIMA has outlined below our anticipated project tasks and deliverables about administration of this contract. A strict adherence to these steps has enabled our CEI teams in the past to complete all projects with outstanding results. Pre-Construction Activities: Establish contact with Contractor Establish contact and coordination with utilities. Obtain ROW agreements Pre-Construction meeting with Contractor.

This proactive approach has been implemented by our team in other projects and has proven extremely effective in minimizing public complaints. Additionally, we will send weekly updates of anticipated construction operations to both the County and the local municipalities. Our team is committed to maintaining the project schedule, minimize construction impacts, and deliver the projects within budget. EEO Compliance & Davis Bacon AE s proposed CEI team will focus on achieving quality construction standards and will implement a compliance program to ensure that the contractor meets the EEO compliance and reporting expectations for this FTA funded project. The proposed team has previously managed projects for local municipalities and FDOT with Federal Funding and we offer a proven Resident Compliance Specialist to ensure compliance with all contractual requirements of FHWA 1273 and Davis Bacon. Our team will verified that the Wage rate is the current wage rate and no new Wage rate was provided within 10 days of the bid. Davis Bacon & Payrolls As per the Davis Bacon Act, we understand that the laborers and mechanics on the project are being paid the prevailing wage rates, as per the wage table applicable at the time of letting, and as per their work classification(s) and no less than once a week. Since this contract will be in excess of $100,000 we will ensure the contractors and subcontractors pay laborers and mechanics at least one and one-half times their regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 40 in a work week. Our firm will ensure that the wage determination (applicable to the project at the time of letting) is posted on the bulletin board and used to check that the Contractor/Subcontractor are paying no less than the US Dept. of Labor Wage Determination; The most current version of the wage tables (specified in the contract special provisions) is locked in at a date 10 days before the letting date. Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) ADA ramps, truncated domes, and bus pads are constructed in compliance with the County requirements. All ADA slopes and bus pad slopes will be 2% and we will verify each location. Signing & Pavement Markings: Challenge: The CEI team must ensure an inspection at the supplier s staging site is performed on all signs to inspect the size of the signs, reflectivity and ensure the signs are clear of air bubbles. Proactive CGA Approach: Materials certifications will be submitted prior to the installation of the final pavement markings. All materials certifications will be reviewed by the PA and comments will be provided to ensure compliance with the contract documents. The thermoplastic layer won t be applied until 14 days after placement of asphalt. A pre sign installation meeting will be conducted prior to construction. The SPE and the PA will review the contract plans with the contractor. The Sr. Inspector will conduct a thorough a detailed review of the signing and pavement markings plans prior to construction and provide comments. The inspection staff will perform a sign panel inspection prior to installation to ensure conformity of the contract requirements regarding reflectivity, air bubbles and the message stated on the sign. Utility owners will be contacted a week in advance so they can refresh their marks to avoid conflicts with sign installation. All certifications will be provided to the maintaining agency at the end of the project. Ensuring the proper MOT is implemented and performing daily safety inspections on all various bus stop infrastructure improvement locations. Proactive CGA Approach: MOT will be a major focus and point of emphasize to the team and the contractor. Ensuring that the MOT plan is implemented and adhered to is essential to the success of our project. Our team is experienced with standard index 600 and MOT inspection.

11 AE Engineering Inc. Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. CIMA Engineering, Corp. 2. Project Approach (con t) Utilization The contractor will need to submit their approved Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Affirmative Action Policy and Plan (DBE AA Plan). New Federal requirements mandate that this document be submitted by the Contractor prior to Contract award. The plans are approved for a three (3) year period and should be updated prior to expiration or when there is a change in the DBE Liaison Officer and/or the Company official who signs the Plan. the completed and signed DBE AA Plan to: EEOforms@dot.state.fl.us. Verified DBE status of subcontractors through the EOC Equal Opportunity Compliance System is required. AE will work with contractor to ensure they have obtained access to the Equal Opportunity Compliance System (EOC) and entered in their Anticipated DBE commitments and verify DBE payments through the EOC system. The Department can only report the participation of DBE's that are certified in the Department s DBE Directory. Commercially Useful Function (CUF) Monitoring Report (form ) will be done on DBE Primes or Subcontractors on Federally Assisted contracts. When a DBE participates in a contract, only the value of the work performed by the DBE will be counted as DBE participation Employee Interview Report -Labor/EEO IF REQUIRED The Employee Interview Report Labor / EEO Compliance, (Form No ), is provided to document interview results of a cross section of employees based on the dollar amount of the contract. Interviews are conducted monthly on a random basis and seek to interview a wide range of laborers and mechanics for labor and EEO compliance criteria. Laborers and mechanics is a general term used to mean all construction employees on the project performing labor or craft work as opposed to managerial or technical work. Note: For EEO purposes, other personnel such as foremen working on the project should be interviewed. Reporting Methods & Schedule Upon execution of the contract to the Contractor, Roderick will contact the selected Contractor and advise them of their role and emphasize the and will provide comments and suggestions as needed. Changes to the MOT plan will not be allowed without proper review and approval of the contractor s proposed changes. A copy of the MOT plan will be on site at all time. Our inspectors will ensure the inspection of the MOT on daily basis and will ensure that deficiencies are recorded and addressed immediately. Drop offs will be protected as per the FDOT design index number 600. Staging of equipment and materials within the clear zone will not be permitted. The OSHA safety requirements for open trenches will be strictly adhered to ensure the safety of the contractor s workers, the inspection staff and the general public. All potholes will be repaired immediately using cold patch. PCMS s will be installed two weeks in advance of any construction work. All access to side streets will be maintained either directly or via detours while constructing the pedestrian pavers. Our main focus will be providing a MOT that facilitates traffic movement in a safe manner during construction. We will ensure that pedestrian access is provided at all times. The three phases outlined in the plans will be strictly followed. Any changes proposed by the contractor must be submitted to the SPE and the County for review and consideration at least 2 weeks in advance. We will ensure that the contractor submits a notice to the County 30 days in advance of construction. The County will be notified of any lane closures or MOT phase changes at least 2 weeks in advance. The Two week look ahead will be submitted weekly and reviewed by the PA. All lane closures will be provided to all stakeholders on weekly basis. Utilities Challenge: During our walkthrough on the field we noticed that there are multiple existing utilities including FPL lines and Sewer lines that will require extensive coordination during construction. This work must be coordinated early and prior to construction to ensure it doesn t result in delays during construction. Proactive CGA Approach: Our Contract Manager will reach out to all the representatives from all the utility companies 3 Summarize outstanding issues and provide support for closeout of those issues Provide hard and electronic copies of all project correspondence and documentation for County archives EEO/FTA Compliance: CIMA has extensive experience in completing CEI projects that include full and/or partial federal funds. Whenever federal funds are included in a project, very specific criteria must be met during the project to ensure compliance with federal laws. CIMA s approach in monitoring EEO/FTA compliance is to make sure the Contractor is clearly aware of all requirements from the first meeting and to make weekly verification of the submittals to ensure the procedures are followed to the letter. Any lapses in procedure will result in a notice of non-compliance and, should it be warranted, progress payments will be withheld until the requirements are met in a timely fashion. Wage Rates: The Contractor needs to be aware that per their contract, minimum wage rates have been established for positions relative to the construction project. The wage rates applicable to the contract will likely be controlled by the current wage rates as determined by U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), as modified up through ten days prior to the opening of bids. During the project, the CEI team will conduct field interviews of construction staff in random positions and report their answers to wage rate questions. Buy American Steel: For federal aid contracts, only use steel and iron produced in the United States, in accordance with the Buy America provisions of 23 CFR , as amended. CEI will assist the Contractor to answer questions on issues as they arise, based on the limited values allowable by Specifications. Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Acts: CEI and Contractors need to have in place programs to demonstrate commitment to the EEO programs. Page 11 of 52

12 AE Engineering Inc. Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. CIMA Engineering, Corp. 2. Project Approach (con t) importance of the reporting functions to the success of the contract. This typically takes place long before the Pre-Construction Meeting the Contractor is provided with hard and electronic copies of all documentation that must be complete and returned to the Project team at the Preconstruction conference. Roderick will cover both the Construction requirements (shop drawings, quality control) and EEO requirements for each project. Daily Reports are completed each day by the inspection staff to include all manpower, material and equipment utilized on the project. Copies of the reports are provided to the County and Resident Compliance Specialist as required for verification of the contractor s work, staff and equipment on the jobsite. Payrolls may not be required on this project, but if so we will verify that all personnel are compensated in accordance with the applicable wage rate table; regardless, close coordination will be required to ensure that the contractor meets the requirements of FHWA Weekly Duties AE will provide weekly quantities to the contractor for the previous work week; we will collect and review all material testing reports during the execution of the project. All deficiencies will be noted immediately and forwarded to the Contractor for issues weekly. The contractor s contract also requires that they submit weekly as-builts with photo logs, these will be compiled on a weekly basis to ensure the contractor s operations are tracked accurately. Monthly Duties Approved weekly pay item quantities will create the monthly estimate; this will be jointly reviewed by the AE staff and Contractor to ensure that all work that has been completed, accepted, and is compensated in the pay application request. We will ensure that the Prime contractor understands the importance of the Certification documentation that must accompany each estimate. The Monthly Estimate will not be authorized for payment unless the proper documentation has been received. AE will execute the approved pay application as the Owner s representative and months in advance of construction to obtain a status update on their scheduled work and coordinate the during construction utility relocations/adjustments. Our team has extensive experience with utility work on construction projects and our approach to communicating and coordinating utility work is proven. We will begin by reviewing the utility work schedule to create a map of all the utility work that is required on this project. Our Contract manager will contact all utility owners to invite them to the pre construction meeting and to obtain a status update on the utility work especially work required to be completed during construction. During the preconstruction meeting, our team will further discuss the utility work and schedule a separate utility coordination meeting to develop a specific timeline of all the utility work that is required in the plans or by the construction activities. Two weeks prior to performing any work that may impact an existing utility; our SPE will contact the utility owner and notify them of the upcoming construction. CGA has a Construction Department that specializes in utility work and will support our CEI team at no additional charge to the County if needed. Selecting staging areas that fall within the ROW early, protecting existing drainage structures and implementing erosion control measures are requirements that the field staff must ensure are implemented and inspected on daily basis. Proactive CGA Approach: We will ensure that all construction activities are restricted to the limits shown in the plans for the project to eliminate impacts to businesses and residents. Silt fence will be installed prior to staging or construction and it will be inspected for conformity with the standard index. The Sr. Inspector will ensure that the grates are wrapped in filter fabric and that all curb/gutter and curb inlet sediment barriers are installed as per the standard index. CGA has a standalone environmental department that will support our CEI team as needed. Prior to project start, the program information will be reviewed for acceptance and the responsible party for each entity will be named. The Contractor will be required to have an onsite informational board to present construction project opportunities and wage information for the public to review. Summary data for work place population data will be available and/or reported for review. Plans Review: CIMA will perform an exhaustive review of the plan sets and include specific constructability concerns/challenges in our proposal to you. Identification and awareness of these items prior to construction affords the opportunity for affected parties to mitigate the impacts. On medium to large scale projects, the EOR can be consulted on plan issues for clarification. CIMA is committed to working with the County and the Contractor to recommend field adjustments as necessary to mitigate some of the constructability issues identified in design plans. If design plans are being be developed while we are under contract as the CEI, we can provide constructability review of the plans prior to going out to bid. Looking Ahead: We firmly believe that remaining proactive and always looking ahead for the next project obstacle throughout the duration of the project is critical to delivering a successful project on time while meeting the requirements of the contract. We will continue reviewing contract documents to maintain this proactive approach. We will remain in constant contact with the County s Project Manager with the status of the progress, keeping them abreast of project issues. All issues involving time and money will be presented to the County with multiple solutions, the benefits and consequences of each solution, and our recommendation as to how we would proceed. Materials and Testing Services: The Materials Testing and Acceptance services required for this project will be coordinated through the County s Geotechnical Laboratory. We will begin the Materials Testing and Acceptance Page 12 of 52

13 AE Engineering Inc. Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. CIMA Engineering, Corp. 2. Project Approach (con t) provide a signed and sealed version with the pay application to Project Manager. Other documents will be confirmed, such as: FDOT Forms Certificate Compliance with EEO FDOT Form Certification Disbursement of Payments FDOT Form Construction Compliance Spec & Plans Annual Reports Annually, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) submits a report on the status of the Equal Employment Opportunity program to the U.S. Senate. July is the reporting period due to generally good weather nationwide, we are prepared to assist the contractor in submitting this report. Schedule The contractors schedule submittal and written work plan will be required twenty-one (21) days after contract award or at the Preconstruction conference (FDOT Specification 8-3.2). The schedule will be reviewed to ensure all project elements are included and once approve will serve as our baseline for timely project completion. We will ensure that all specialty manufactured lighting items are included in the baseline and that confirmed delivery dates are part of the project minutes and records. We will require weekly submittal of a controlling item of work and a twoweek look ahead to ensure that the contractor is abiding by his baseline and attacking the most critical items to a timely project completion. Inspection Services and Methods to Mitigation Delays The project is an off-system project that will require County Material certification for acceptance. Our team is prepared to manage the critical elements related to the earthwork, asphalt, and concrete operations in accordance with the applicable Big Four LAP Specifications. We will inspect the project as per the specifications and highlight critical project elements that may cause cost or time overruns. These methods have proven to ensure operations occur cost effectively and without delays. Asphalt Paving Requirements: Some The Contract Manager will review the selected staging area to ensure conformity with the contract requirements. This will be a fast moving MOT arrangement. Usage of private properties will not be allowed. The staging areas will be coordinated, reviewed and approved by the Contract Manager and the County prior to staging any equipment if time allows of materials. The Contract Manager will review all permit requirements and will share those requirements with the contractor to ensure compliance. Document Control & Warranty: Challenge: The development of an early process to ensure the proper documentation of field activities and the administration of the paperwork will guarantee the success of this contract. Proactive CGA Approach: Our personnel will strive to maintain legible, complete, properly indexed/archived and retrievable documents. We are committed to utilize the latest software and maintain the required trainings to support the County s Project Manager. Our staff will also work with your inhouse staff to ensure that all warranty information is collected; tracked and periodic inspections conducted to ensure the County received the full value of these improvements. The incorporation of the value added specification stipulates the inspection frequency for each incorporated element and we will ensure that all relevant information is entered into the County s database system. Our team will coordinate all the warranty requests between the County and the contractor, we will perform the periodic inspections during the life of our contract to determine the corrective action for each deficiency, and we will notify the contractor in writing of the items covered by the warranty that require corrections. Lighting: Once the contract is executed, the Contract Manager will coordinate with the contractor and the EOR to ensure the expedited submittal and review of the lighting, ADA and concrete shop drawings. The shop process by reviewing the Sample Testing and Reporting Guide. We will ensure the Guide is comprehensive and correlates with the Final Plans list of pay items. For those materials requiring sampling and testing for acceptance our staff will utilize a standard spreadsheet for the entry of Quality Control (QC) test results performed by the contractor, Verification (V) test results performed by CIMA as the CEI and, Resolution (R) test results should the need arise. Other materials incorporated in to the project may not be accepted based on sampling and testing results. Rather, they may be accepted based on a written certification, certified mill analysis, FDOT label or stamp, FDOT Approved Product List (APL) or supplier. CIMA is thoroughly familiar with all these processes and we currently manage jobs in South Florida utilizing these methods. Inspections: Our CEI inspection staff will observe, inspect and report daily Contractor construction activities to ensure he is performing the work with strict adherence to the contract documents, plans, specifications and special provisions and the project is constructed in reasonable conformity with such documents. Our CEI staff will document these observations and inspection activities in a Daily Work Report (DWR). Each inspector will prepare a DWR on their laptop for each day, report on any visits to the job site by others and report on each separate contractor work activity, such as the placement of embankment, subgrade, base or asphalt work on the roadway or storm water pipe placement or utility relocation work. The intent of the DWR is to provide the County a true picture of what occurs each day on the project site. When a quality assurance issue or defect is observed by our CEI inspection team, the inspector will immediately notify the Contractor of the issue. The inspector will also make a written notation in his or her DWR. Once the issue is remedied, the inspector will make note of such. If the issue is not resolved within two hours, the CIMA inspector will escalate the issue to the County s Project Manager. For record keeping purposes, Page 13 of 52

14 AE Engineering Inc. Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. CIMA Engineering, Corp. 2. Project Approach (con t) asphalt paving may be required at various sites per the FDOT specifications due to the widening and milling and resurfacing operations. Our team will request submittal of the proposed mix designs during the initial discussions and the asphalt mix designs will be a requested submittal included in our Preconstruction meeting letter. Subsequently, we will schedule a separate Pre-paving meeting to ensure that the Prime Contractor s Asphalt Sub-Contractor understands the testing and reporting requirements to avoid payment delays. Per specifications the projects with paving will be tested for smoothness with a 15-foot manual and a 15-foot rolling straightedge meeting the requirements of FM We will utilize a rolling straightedge and document all deficiencies. During our pre-paving meeting, we will establish the requirements for the straightedge operations such as: a) Minimum of 48-hour notification before beginning testing. b) Contractor will be required to address all deficiencies in excess of 3/16 inch in accordance with We will require retesting of all corrected areas. Concrete Related Requirements: The construction of concrete pads are major components of these projects and our team will ensure that all concrete is produced by a concrete production facility that is listed on the FDOT list of structural concrete producers. Random sampling methods will be followed as specified in the Specifications. Acceptance will be based on the test results for plastic properties and compressive strength requirements. Earthwork Inspection Related Requirements: The projects include earthwork related operations for the widening, sidewalk and slabs. Per the specifications, our team will accept a minimum density of 95% of the maximum density as determined by AASHTO T Lighting / Electrical Related Requirements: The projects include minor and electrical related operations. Our staff is familiar with local and federal specifications and will ensure that the work meets or exceeds these standards. While drawings will be reviewed for compliance with the special lighting and signal requirements & commitments made in the plans. Once the shop drawings are approved & the inventory is complete, the SPE will coordinate the Pre- Lighting/Signalization office & field meetings with FPL, the contractor, & County. The team will then meet on the field to coordinate with FPL s representative & establish the locations of the new load centers. It is critical to coordinate with FPL in advance to ensure that the contractor isn t delayed. The team will also coordinate the QA inspections with the County. We will not request an inspection prior to ensuring that all comments made in the previous one are addressed. APPROACH TO ADMINISTRATIVE CHALLENGES Constructability & Biddability Support: The CGA Team has extensive experience in constructability (60%) and biddability (90100%) functional reviews. CGA s plan review approach focuses on quantity verification and logical construction sequencing; the reviewer will determine if sufficient bid items appear on the Construction Estimate Summary Sheet to cover all aspects of construction along with any incidentals. We will then verify each pay item quantity, for areas and linear measurements, and for calculating volumes, and compare it to the quantity shown in the Construction Estimate Summary Sheet, Plan summary sheets and computation books. If the quantities do not compare, the reviewer will provide a detailed explanation of the discrepancy with all necessary back up information to support the reviewer s quantities or missing pay items. Final Estimates Support: Our team is exceptionally well prepared to manage the monthly contractor invoicing, agency reimbursement and final project closeout for the County if needed. We have extensive experience in FDOT Final Estimate procedures and our staff are Final Estimates 1 & 2 certified by CTQP. DWR s will be placed on the County s FTP site and made available to the County s Project Manager and Staff for their review and use. On-Site Project Safety: CIMA has a corporate commitment to Safety. Our team begins each meeting with a safety moment to remind each of our project team members just how important safety is in our daily lives. Our Project Management Plan always includes a Project Health and Safety Plan (HSP) and each plan incorporates relevant Job Safety Activities (JSA s) that are appropriate for each project. Project Closeout: As the project moves closer to completion CIMA will ensure the following duties are monitored closely and accomplished. Verify the requirements for reduction in retainage and obtain surety consent as needed. Verify monthly the Contractor is properly updating the as-built documents for the work. Please note that submission of as-builts and acceptance of same by the Engineer is precedent to Final Acceptance according to the Standard Specifications. Therefore, we will encourage the Contractor to remain vigilant in this regard. CIMA will ensure electronic record drawings are received and review same for accuracy. We will also review close out documents for completeness and accuracy, to include but not be limited to asbuilt drawings, shop drawings, Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Manuals and warranties. Where possible, CIMA makes every effort to final as we go so that when we reach the final weeks of the project, much of this documentation of the work has already been completed and we have finalized all elements of the work possible. Warranty Services: Finally, once the project is accepted and paid off, there remains the management of the Warranty process. CIMA will provide a binder and a CD to the County documenting the relevant sections of the contract which include warranty requirements. It will also include the objective measurable criteria used to determine if a warranty issue applies, which items are under warranty and the duration for which they are warrantied. Page 14 of 52

15 AE Engineering Inc. Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. CIMA Engineering, Corp. 2. Project Approach (con t) the proposed projects are primarily bus shelter construction, there may be site specific situations where Broward County Complete Streets initiative may be applicable. The AE team is thoroughly familiar with Broward County Complete Streets initiative and the required design standard adherences to ensure all users are accounted for during design and construction. Our proposed team members are Advanced MOT certified and will work with the County s staff to ensure that the project will begin with an understanding that all improvements must comply with the applicable MUTCD and applicable Design standards. Safety for pedestrians, bikers and drivers is of paramount importance throughout the project, and strict adherence to maintaining standards will be enforced at all times. We feel that it is critical to the functionality of the area to ensure that once complete we meet the intent of the design. We will also work closely with the contractor to ensure that ADA compliant pedestrian access is maintained throughout the construction process and at completion. The projects will require that the contractor addresses pedestrian, bicycle and signalization improvements during the course of the construction, we will ensure that each element is properly incorporated. Our team will ensure that the contractor maintains constant access to all private properties along the corridor. We will require the contractor to identify a project point of contact to address any Maintenance of Traffic or Business Plan issues; this Contractor representative must have the authority and ability to make decisions immediately to address impacts as they occur onsite. Project Commitment to Resolve All Project Concerns We have the experience and staff availability to address any issue that may arise on these projects. This knowledge, skills, ability and commitment of our staff will reduce this learning curve as we perform as a partner to both the Contractor and County. As a standard practice, we will engage our Project Engineer on any issue that may have time or cost impacts to Felix Garcia (if needed) has extensive final estimate, material certification, warranty, and audit experiences and will lead this effort for our team. More specifically, the final package areas of focus include but are not limited to: Contract Time folder, Engineer s weekly summary/daily report of construction, Material Certification package Contract Managers Certificate Statement, Pay Reduction Summary and Notification of failing test result reports, QC Plan and asbuilt plans, signed, sealed and submitted by the contractors. PIO & Coordination: PIO coordination will be a major activity that will require special attention by the CEI team. We understand that many private property owners have signs, lighting, landscape and other items that must be protected during construction. We will coordinate the contractor s construction with the property owners at least 14 days in advance to minimize impacts to those owners as much as possible. We will keep the County s PIO informed of any MOT changes and lane closures. The team will ensure that the lane closure times stipulated in the plans are strictly adhered to by the contractor. Any request to change the lane closures times or allow lane closures on the weekends will be evaluated and discussed with the County in advance. The team understands the importance of coordinating with the different stake holders to ensure the success of the project. The County, businesses and residents within close proximity to construction will all be coordinated in advance of construction activities. CGA also understands the importance of providing real up to date information to the residents and businesses along the corridor. CGA is prepared to provide door hangers during the initial weeks of the project detailing the CEI contract information and schedule. Our intent is to visit each impacted resident or business owner to ensure they are aware of the proposed improvements, our schedule and potential impacts. Our experiences have proven that an We will also conduct a review and training session with appropriate County staff regarding how to use the warranty information. At that time, we will arrange for contact persons and contact information so the County can notify CIMA should a warranty issue develop. We shall act as the liaison between the County and the Contractor when warranty requests arise to coordinate that communication.
