The Consultant is responsible for, and shall represent to City that the Services conform to the City's requirements, the Contract Documents and all Applicable Laws. The Consultant shall be and remain liable to the City for all damages to the City caused by the Consultant's negligent acts or errors or omissions in the performance of the Services. In addition to all other rights and remedies which the City may have, the Consultant shall, at its expense, re -perform all or any portion of the Services to correct any deficiencies which result from the Consultant's failure to perform in accordance with the above standards. The Consultant shall also be liable for the replacement or repair of any defective materials and equipment and re -performance of any non -conforming construction work resulting from such deficient Services (i) for a period from the Effective Date of this Agreement, until twelve (12) months following final acceptance of the Work, (ii) or for the period of design liability required by applicable law, whichever is later. The Project Administrator shall notify the Consultant, in writing, of any deficiencies and shall approve the method and timing of the corrections. 2.10.1 The Consultant shall be responsible for deficient, defective Services and any resulting deficient, defective construction work re -performed within twelve (12) months following final acceptance and shall be subject to further re -performance, repair and replacement for twelve (12) months from the date of initial re -performance, not to exceed twenty-four months (24) from final acceptance. 2.11 The City shall have the right, at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion, to submit for review to other consultants (engaged by the City at its expense) any or all parts of the Services and the Consultant shall fully cooperate in such review(s). Whenever others are required to verify, review, or consider any Services performed by Consultant (including, without limitation, contractors, other design professionals, and/or other consultants retained by the City), the intent of such requirement is to enable the Consultant to receive input from others' professional expertise to identify any discrepancies, errors or omissions that are inconsistent with industry standards for design or construction of comparable projects; or which are inconsistent with Applicable Laws; or which are inconsistent with standards, decisions or approvals provided by the City under this Agreement. Consultant will use reasonable care and skill, in accordance and consistent with customary professional standards, in responding to items identified by other reviewers in accordance with this subsection. Consultant shall receive comments from reviewers, in writing, including, without limitation (and where applicable), via a set of marked -up drawings and specifications. Consultant shall address comments forwarded to it in a timely manner. The term "timely" shall be defined to mean as soon as possible under the circumstances, taking into account the timelines of the Project schedule. 2.11.1 The Consultant is advised that a performance evaluation of the Services rendered throughout this Agreement will be completed by the City and kept in the City's files for evaluation of future solicitations. 2.12 Consultant agrees that when any portion of the Services relates to a professional service which, under Florida Statutes, requires a license, certificate of authorization, or other form of legal entitlement to practice and/or perform such Service(s), it shall employ and/or retain only qualified duly licensed certified personnel to provide same. 2.13 Consultant agrees to designate, in writing, within five (5) calendar days after receiving a fully executed Consultant Service Order, a qualified licensed professional to serve as its project manager (hereinafter referred to as the "Project Manager"). The Project Manager shall be authorized and responsible to act on behalf of Consultant with respect to directing, coordinating and administrating all aspects of the Services. Consultant's Project Manager (as well as any replacement) shall be subject to the prior written approval of the City Manager or the Project Administrator. Replacement (including reassignment) of an approved Project Manager shall not be made without the prior written approval of the City Manager or his designee (i.e. the Project Administrator). 2.13.1 Consultant agrees, within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of written notice from the City Manager or the Project Administrator (which notice shall state the cause therefore), to promptly remove and replace a Project Manager, or any other personnel employed or otherwise retained by Consultant for the Project ( including, without limitation, any Subconsultants). 2.14 Consultant agrees not to divulge, furnish or make available to any third party(ies), any non-public information concerning the Services or the Project, without the prior written consent of the City Manager or the Project Administrator, unless such disclosure is incident to the proper performance of the Services; or the disclosure is required pursuant to Florida Public Records laws; or, in the course of judicial proceedings, where such information has been properly subpoenaed. Consultant shall also require Subconsultants to comply with this subsection. 2.15 The City and Consultant acknowledge that the Services, as described in the Agreement and the Consultant Service Order, do not delineate every detail and minor work task required to be performed by Consultant to complete the work and/or services described and delineated under a Consultant Service Order issued to Consultant by the City for a particular Project. If, during the course of performing work, services and/or tasks on a particular Consultant Service Order, Consultant determines that work and/or services should be performed (to complete the Project delineated under such Order) which is, in the Consultant's reasonable opinion, outside the level of effort originally anticipated in the Consultant Service Order, then Consultant shall promptly notify the Project Administrator, in writing, and shall obtain the Project Administrator's written consent before proceeding with such work and/or services. If Consultant proceeds with any such additional work and/or services without obtaining the prior written consent of the Project Administrator, said work and/or services shall be deemed to be a Basic Service under this Agreement and shall also be deemed to be within the scope of services delineated in the Consultant Service Order (whether or not specifically addressed in the Scope of Services). Mere notice by Consultant to the Project Administrator shall not constitute authorization or approval by the City to perform such work. Performance of any such work and/or services by Consultant without the prior written consent of the Project Administrator shall be undertaken at Consultant's sole risk and liability. 2.16 Consultant shall establish, maintain, and categorize any and all Project documents and records pertinent to the Services and shall provide the City, upon request, with copies of any and all such documents and/or records. In addition, Consultant shall provide electronic document files to the City upon completion of the Project. 2.17 THE CITY HAS NO OBLIGATION TO ASSIST, FACILITATE AND/OR PERFORM IN ANY WAY THE CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE AGREEMENT OR OTHER CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. THE CITY'S PARTICIPATION, FACILITATION AND/OR ASSISTANCE TO THE CONSULTANT SHALL BE AT ITS SOLE DISCRETION AND SHALL NOT, IN ANY WAY, BE CONSTRUED, INTERPRETED AND/OR CONSTITUTE AN ASSUMPTION BY THE CITY OF CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS, A WAIVER OF CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS AND/OR EXCUSE ANY BREACH BY CONSULTANT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. THE PARTICIPATION IN THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OF CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS SHALL NOT PRECLUDE THE CITY FROM DECLARING CONSULTANT IN DEFAULT FOR CONSULTANT'S FAILURE TO PERFORM SUCH OBLIGATION, NOR SHALL IT LIMIT, IN ANY WAY, THE CITY'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THE CONSULTANT EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES NOT TO RAISE OR ASSERT AS DEFENSE TO ANY CLAIM, ACTION, SUIT AND/OR OTHER PROCEEDING OF A SIMILAR NATURE, THE CITY'S PARTICIPATION, ASSISTANCE AND/OR FACILITATION IN THE PERFORMANCE OF CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS. INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ASSISTING WITH OBTAINING PERMITS OR WITH COORDINATION WITH UTILITIES, OR OTHER MATTERS RELATED TO THE PROJECT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THIS SECTION AND/OR ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHER CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, THIS SECTION SHALL GOVERN. 2.18 GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS: The Consultant shall comply with the requirements of Section 255.2575, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 100 of the City Code, as both may be amended from time to time, addressing applicable Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) compliance requirements. 2.19 SUBCONSULTANTS: All services provided by Subconsultants shall be consistent with those commitments made by the Consultant in its Proposal and during the competitive solicitation selection process and interview. Such services shall be undertaken and performed pursuant to appropriate written agreements between the Consultant and the Subconsultants, which shall contain provisions that preserve and protect the rights of the City under this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create any contractual relationship between the City and the Subconsultants. The Consultant shall not retain, add, or replace any Subconsultant without the prior written approval of the City Manager, in response to a written request from the Consultant stating the reasons for any proposed substitution, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Consultant shall cause the names of Subconsultants responsible for significant portions of the Services to be inserted on the plans and specifications. The Consultant shall be ultimately responsible for ensuring the Consultant's and all of its Subconsultants' compliance with the requirements of this Section and any other provision of the Agreement and/or Consultant Service Order. With respect to the performance of work by Subconsultants, the Consultant shall, in approving and accepting such work, ensure, within the standard of care, the professional quality, completeness, and coordination of the Subconsultant's work. The Consultant shall, upon the request of the City, submit to the City such documentation and information as the City reasonably requests to evidence the creation, standing, ownership and professional licensure of the Consultant (and Subconsultants), including organizational documents, operating agreements and professional licensure documentation, and copies of the Consultant's contracts with the Subconsultant with respect to the Project. However, the City's failure to request such documentation or evidence and/or failure to enforce in any way the terms and provisions of this Section, the Agreement and/or any other Consultant Service Order during the Project does not excuse, waive and/or condone in any way any noncompliance of the requirements set forth therein including, without limitation, the professional licensure requirements. Any approval of a Subconsultant by the City shall in no way shift from the Consultant to City the responsibility for the quality and acceptability of the services performed by the Subconsultant. Payment of Subconsultants shall be the sole responsibility of the Consultant, and shall not be cause for any increase in compensation to the Consultant for payment of the Services. ARTICLE 3. THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITIES 3.1 The City Manager shall designate a Project Administrator, who shall be the City's authorized representative to act on City's behalf with respect to the City's responsibilities or matters requiring City's approval under the Contract Documents. The Project Administrator shall be authorized (without limitation) to transmit instructions, receive information, and interpret and define City policies and decisions with respect to the Services and the Project. The Project Administrator shall have full authority to require the Consultant to comply with the Contract Documents, provided, however, that any failure of the Project Administrator to identify any noncompliance, or to specifically direct or require compliance, shall in no way constitute a waiver of, or excuse, the Consultant's obligation to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents. 3.2 The City shall make available to Consultant, for the convenience of the Consultant only, information that the City has in its possession pertinent to the Project. Consultant hereby agrees and acknowledges that, in making any such information available to Consultant, the City makes no express or implied certification, warranty, and/or representation as to the accuracy or completeness of such information and assumes no responsibility whatsoever with respect to, the sufficiency, completeness or accuracy of such information.

Exhibit A: Pre -Submittal Meeting Sign In Sheet Exhibit B: 2015 Unified Sea Level Rise Projection III. ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS RECEIVED. Q1: We recently submitted another proposal to the City on April 14 that required the Dun & Bradstreet report to be sent to the Procurement Contact. Do we need to submit this again or is there a form we can sign certifying the previous submission? Al: At the request of the City, Proposer shall arrange for Dun & Bradstreet to submit a Supplier Qualification Report (SQR). Q2: Does the prime responder have to show an employee as the Subject Matter Expert for all 8 categories or can we utilize a subconsultant for one or more categories? A2: Proposers must identify and submit evidence for Subject Matter Expert(s) Key Personnel. The RFQ does not require the subject matter experts to be employees. Q3: There seems to be a duplication in the 8 categories of work listed on page 15 unless the first 4 refer to the planning aspects of the project and the last 4 refer to the design work. Is that a correct interpretation of what the City meant? A3: There is no duplication. The City is seeking expertise that includes design capabilities and other non -design expertise in a subject area. The expert may be the 1 ADDENDUM NO. 1 REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS NO. 2017 -129 -KB ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR WATER & WASTEWATER SYSTEMS PROJECTS same person or different people in the same discipline, for example an experienced water operator may serve as the water distribution expert for matters that do not require a P.E.'s design expertise, or a P.E. with operational expertise may serve both functions. Q4: I am writing to respectfully request a two (2) week extension to the response deadline for RFQ 2017-129KB - Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater System Projects. A4: Please refer to time extension above. Q5: Since a Water and Wastewater Master Plan will be developed under Item 111 of the RFQ Statement of Work Required (page 29), and such Master Plans may affect the 20 -year CIPs developed under Items I and 11, wouldn't it make more sense to develop initially a first phase 5 -year CIP (with the most urgent and immediate projects) and then, after the Master Plan is done (possibly 1 to 2 years after program start) amend the CIP as needed and make it a 20 -year CIP (as requested) with the projects identified in the Master Plan? A5: Please refer to Appendix C, Minimum Requirements and Specifications, Subsection C2 "The services described in items I, and II are intended to be awarded immediately. The services described in subsequent items may be awarded in the future." Items I and II would become the system plan if item III is not authorized. Q6: What planning horizon should be covered under the Master Plan, since already the CIP is for a considerably long term (20 years)? For example, 30, 40, 50 years? A6: The expected life of the existing assets. Q7: Does the City foresee the need for the selected firm to provide land acquisition services in relation to the CIP projects it designs? A7: Not at this time. Q-8: Does -the -City -foresee -the need for the -selected -fir o -provide -permitting services-far-the-- CIP projects it plans and designs? A8: Permitting services are not specifically identified in this RFQ; however the selected firm(s) under items III, V, VI, or VIII could be tasked with those services if offered. Q9: Does the City foresee the need for the selected firm to provide procurement assistance services for the CIP projects it plans and designs? If so, what level of assistance? A9: Procurement assistance is not specifically identified in this RFQ; however the selected firm(s) under items V, VI, VII, or VIII could be tasked with those services if offered. Q1O: The RFQ StatementofWork Required lists "Value Engineering" as one of the possible services to be contracted. Since design is one of the services that may also be contracted, is it envisioned that some designs will not be performed by the Prime Consultant but rather by the consultants on the pre -qualified pool? Is there an idea of how much design work would be self -performed versus performed by the pool of consultants? 2 ADDENDUM NO. 1 REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS NO. 2017 -129 -KB ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR WATER & WASTEWATER SYSTEMS PROJECTS A1O: The services may be performed by a single selectee, or any combination of selectees at the City's discretion. No estimates are currently available to describe amounts to be self -performed. Q11: The present email is to ask if the results of the Supplier Qualification Report (SQR by Dun & Bradstreet) are required for the proposal submittal or the confirmation of the SQR request suffices. All: Please refer to response Al above. Q12: Could you please provide a City of Miami Beach water and wastewater system description, including miles of pipeline and number and description of other system assets? Al2: Items I, and II include the development of inventories. An conceptual estimate is 4 water storage tanks, 180 miles of water lines, 152 miles of sewer lines, 33 pumping stations, 1,000 fire hydrants, 86 water crossings, 20 MGD to 25 MGD water and wastewater distribution/collection. Q13: Please confirm that no pricing or costing of services is required to be submitted with the response to the RFQ and that these would be negotiated with the selected respondent later on. A13: Cost of services is not a requirement of this RFQ, fees will be negotiated during the negotiation phase. Q14: Typically, a Master Plan (MP) precedes the Capital Investment Program (CIP) design. The MP looks at long term goals and projections (usually over a > 20 years) and then those are translated into projects that make up the CIP. The CIP is a comprehensive list of projects (a project inventory) that are scheduled and ordered depending on constraints (for example, execution or funding constraints). The RFQ, on the other hand, has CIP design as the first tasks. Is the thought that the CIPs developed under The Statement of Work Requirement section of the RFQ, item C2(l) and (II) (page 28 of the RFQ) be prepared as an inventory of information gathered from available sources, but later updated when the Master Plan is prepared? Can the logical order of the scope of work be altered so that MP comes first, in order to be more efficient? A14: Statements are well received and understood. The City anticipates significant immediate needs, and does not have the luxury of developing a master planning document prior to identifying most important projects due to timing restraints of capital markets. The City reserves the discretion to task the selectee(s) with any task without consideration to the order listed if deemed to be in its best interest as determined by the City. Q15: The CIP Development tasks require that all parts of the system be documented, including facilities, condition of equipment and system components. What level of granular detail is 3 "' ADDENDUM NO. 1 REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS NO. 2017 -129 -KB ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR WATER & WASTEWATER SYSTEMS PROJECTS the City of Miami Beach looking for? For example, should all sewer manholes be inspected? Should every mile of sewer be inspected with CCTV or other technologies? Should water mains and other underground water infrastructure be inspected with the use of invasive technology (for example)? A15: The City expects the selectee(s) to review existing information, and recommend what efforts are needed to develop the capital improvement prioritization. Considering the recommendations negotiations will take place for the task(s). Q16: Have there been any water or wastewater infrastructure assessments performed in the past that can be provided? A16: Please see response A15 above. Q17: he Statement of Work Required states under the CIP Development tasks that "The planning document should include approximately 20 years of work". Does the City know what are the constraints for execution that would define the schedule of implementation? For example, is there a yearly CIP budget limit? A17: The City's goal of item I, and II is to understand needs based on a priority developed with a matrix that includes likelihood, and consequence of failure. The City will then determine the prudent level of spending that will determine the exact time horizon. Q18: Are there combined sewers or documented cross connections between storm and sanitary sewers? A18: None are known. Q19: Are storm sewers part of the scope of work? A19: No. Q2O: Is there a Master Plan for the City and if so, can it be provided? A2O: A current master plan for water and wastewater is not available. Q21: Can you please provide any existing expansion or growth plans for the water or wastewater systems? A21: The City is considered largely built out, and expansion likelihood is limited. Q22: Can you provide a list of water and wastewater pump stations and their capacity? A22: Please refer to response Al 2 above.

Morales, City Manager DATE: March 23, 2016 MEMORANDUM SUBJECT: 2015 Unified Sea Level Rise Project' BACKGROUND We are taking aggressive action across the City today to address sea level rise, from stormwater projects to land use amendments. We are also planning for the future and developing a citywide Resiliency Strategy. The purpose of this memorandum is to make sure that all staff is aware of and utilizing the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact's Unified Sea Level Rise Projection. The projection was updated in October of 2015 and adopted by our City Commission at the March 9, 2016 meeting. It is an excellent planning tool with accompanying guidance and training. The projection is required to be used for relevant planning and construction throughout all departments. The following is a list of key programs that are to incorporate the Unified Sea Level Rise Projection: • The scope of Procurement solicitations; • Capital Improvement Projects (CP planning) for all departments; • Public Works projects; • Transportation projects; and • Additional projects and programs as appropriate. UNIFIED SEA LEVEL RISE PROJECTION OVERVIEW The updated Unified Sea Level Rise Projection for Southeast Florida projects the anticipated range of sea level rise for the region from 1992 to 2100. The projection highlights three planning horizons: 1. Short term, by 2030, sea level is projected to rise 6 to 10 inches above 1992 mean sea level. 2. Medium term, by 2060, sea level is projected to rise 14 to 34 inches above 1992 mean sea level. 3. Long term, by 2100, sea level is projected to rise 31 to 81 inches above 1992 mean sea level. SLR Projection March 23, 2016 Page 2 of 3 90 Unified Sea Level Rise Projection (Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact, 2015) 70 IPCC AR5 to a USACE High NOAA igh Year Median (Inches) (inches) (inches) 10 0 2030 2060 2100 6 14 IJS4(t intermediate/ NOAH Intermediate Low 1992 2000 2010 2020 2030 2040 20S0 2080 2070 2080 2090 2100 Year Figure 1: Unified Sea Level Rise Projection. These projections are referenced to mean sea level at the Key West tide gauge. The protection includes three global curves adapted for regional application: the median of the OPCC AR5 RCP8.S scenario as the lowest boundary (blue dashed curve), the USACE High curve as the upper boundary for the short term for use until 2060 (solid blue line), and the NOAA High curve as the uppermost boundary for medium and long term use (orange solid curve). The incorporated table lists the projection values at years 2030, 2060 and 2100. The USAGE Intermediate or NOAA Intermediate Low curve is displayed on the figure for reference (green dashed curve). This scenario would require significant reductions In greenhouse gas emissions In order to be plausible and does not reflect current emissions trends. The lower boundary of the projection (dashed•line) can be applied in designing low risk projects that are easily replaceable with short design lives, are adaptable and have limited interdependencies with other infrastructure or services. The shaded zone is recommended to be generally applied to most projects within a short-term planning horizon. It reflects what the Work Group projects will be the most likely range of sea level rise for the remainder of the 21st Century. The upper curve of the projection should be utilized for planning of high risk and critical infrastructure projects. TRAINING AND RESOURCES Integrating the Unified Sea Level Rise Projection into planning and operations is vital, citywide. In the 2016 Management Team survey on Sustainability and Resiliency, feedback included more than 100 ideas, including continuing with planning and codifying (18), increasing staff awareness and staff (11), and developing specific ways for departments and employees to help (4). Sea Level Rise Projection training was provided for City staff on March 14th, 2016 by Dr. Samantha Danchuk from Broward County, who served as lead staff to the Compact working group. Dr. Danchuck presented how the Unified Sea Level Rise Projection was developed utilizing the most recent science, how to understand and use the different planning horizons based on the type of project and location, and shared guidance resources. The Unified Sea Level Rise Projection and Guidance will be updated every five to seven years to account for the ongoing advances in scientific knowledge related to global climate change.

October 2015. Unified Sea Level Rise Projection for Southeast Florida. A document prepared for the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact Steering Committee. 35 p. CUT1VE SUMMA The Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact reconvened the Sea Level Rise Work Group for the purpose of updating the unified regional projection based on global projections, guidance documents and scientific literature released since the original regional projection in 2011 (Compact, 2011). The objective of the unified sea level rise projection for the Southeast Florida region remains consistent that the projection is for use by the Climate Compact Counties and partners for planning purposes to aid in understanding of potential vulnerabilities and to provide a basis for developing risk informed adaptation strategies for the region. For the 2015 update, the starting point for all sea level rise projections has been shifted from 2010 to 1992. This allows for direct use of local tide station information to convert projections into local water surface elevations for flood vulnerability studies, and is consistent with current guidance from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA). The Unified Sea Level Rise projection for Southeast Florida has also been extended to 2100 in recognition of the need for longer range guidance for major infrastructure and other long term investments now being planned. In the short term, sea level rise is projected to be 6 to 10 inches by 2030 and 14 to 26 inches by 2060 (above the 1992 mean sea level). In the long term, sea level rise is projected to be 31 to 61 inches by 2100. For critical infrastructure projects with design lives in excess of 50 years, use of the upper curve is recommended with planning values of 34 inches in 2060 and 81 inches in 2100. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Jet Propulsion Laboratory (2015) has reported the average global sea level has risen almost 3 inches between 1992 and 2015 based on satellite measurements. Sea level rise in South Florida has been of similar magnitude over the same period (NOAA, 2015) but is anticipated to outpace the global average due to ongoing variations in the Florida Currents and Gulf Stream. Projected sea level rise, especially by 2060 and beyond, has a significant range of variation as a result of uncertainty in future greenhouse gas emissions and their geophysical effects, the incomplete quantitative understanding of all geophysical processes that might affect the rate of sea level rise in climate models and the limitations of current climate models to predict the future. As such, the Work Group recommends that the unified sea level rise projection include three curves, in descending order, the NOAA High Curve, the USACE High Curve and a curve corresponding to the median of the IPCC AR5 RCP8.5 scenario, with specific guidance as to how and when they should be used in planning. This guidance document describes the recommended application of the projection as it relates to both high and low risk projects and short and long- term planning efforts. Also, the Work Group recommends that this guidance be updated every 1 five to seven years because of the ongoing advances in scientific knowledge related to global climate change and potential impacts. WHO SHOULD USE THIS PROJECTION AND GUIDANCE DOCUMENT? The Unified Sea Level Rise Projection for Southeast Florida is intended to be used for planning purposes by a variety of audiences and disciplines when considering sea level rise in reference to both short and long-term planning horizons and infrastructure design in the Southeast Florida area. HOW SHOULD THE REGIONAL PROJECTION BE APPLIED? The projection (Unified Sea Level Rise Projection for Southeast Florida) contains a graph and table describing the rise in sea level from 1992 through the turn of the current century. The projection can be used to estimate future sea level elevations in Southeast Florida and the relative change in sea level from today to a point in the future. Guidance for Application contains directions and specific examples of how the projection can be used by local governments, planners, designers and engineers and developers. This regional projection is offered to ensure that all major infrastructure projects throughout the Southeast Florida region have the same basis for design and construction relative to future sea level. WHAT ARE THE IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH SEA LEVEL RISE? The consequences associated with sea level rise include direct physical impacts such as coastal inundation of inland areas, increased frequency of flooding in vulnerable coastal areas, increased flooding in interior areas due to impairment of the region's stormwater infrastructure i.e. impacts to gravity drainage systems and features in the regional water management canal system, saltwater intrusion into the aquifer and local water supply wells, and contamination of the land and ocean with pollutants and debris and hazardous materials released by flooding. Consequences also include cascading socio-economic impacts such as displacement, decrease in property values and tax base, increases in insurance costs, loss of services and impaired access to infrastructure. The likelihood and extent to which these impacts will occur is dependent upon the factors influencing the rate of sea level rise such as the amount of greenhouse gases emitted globally, rate of melting of land-based ice sheets, the decisions and investments made by communities to increase their climate resilience and the many interconnected processes described in the Appendix B: State of Science Update. One of the values of this sea level rise projection is the ability to perform scenario testing to better understand the potential impacts and timeline of sea level rise within the Southeast Florida community. 2 WHO DEVELOPED THE UNIFIED SEA LEVEL RISE PROJECTION FOR SOUTHEAST FLORIDA? In 2010, the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact Steering Committee organized the first Regional Climate Change Compact Technical Ad hoc Work Group (Work Group). Their objective was to develop a unified sea level rise projection for the Southeast Florida region for use by the Climate Compact Counties and partners. Its primary use was for planning purposes to aid in understanding of potential vulnerabilities and to provide a basis for outlining adaptation strategies for the region. The Work Group reviewed existing projections and scientific literature and developed a unified regional projection for the period from 2010 to 2060 (Compact, 2011). The projection highlighted two planning horizons: 1) by 2030, sea level rise was projected to be 3 to 7 inches above the 2010 mean sea level and 2) by 2060, sea level rise was projected to be 9 to 24 inches above the 2010 mean sea level. In anticipation of the release of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fifth Assessment Report (IPCC, 2013), the Sea Level Rise Work Group recommended a review of the projection four years after its release in 2011. In September 2014, the Sea Level Rise Work Group was reconvened for the purpose of updating the unified regional projection based on projections and scientific literature released since 2011. This report released in October 2015 contains a summary of the projections and publications reviewed and discussed, the methodology for deriving the projection, the recommended unified regional projection and additional recommendations from the Sea Level Rise Work Group. 3 Nft l A',11;E•' E =P CTI N SOUT EAST R1DA PROJECTION AND SUMMARY This Unified Sea Level Rise projection for Southeast Florida updated in 2015 projects the anticipated range of sea level rise for the region from 1992 to 2100 (Figure 1). The projection highlights three planning horizons: 1) short term, by 2030, sea level is projected to rise 6 to 10 inches above 1992 mean sea level, 2) medium term, by 2060, sea level is projected to rise 14 to 34 inches above 1992 mean sea level, 3) long term, by 2100, sea level is projected to rise 31 to 81 inches above 1992 mean sea level. Projected sea level rise in the medium and long term has a significant range of variation as a result of uncertainty in future greenhouse gas emissions and their geophysical effects, the incomplete quantitative understanding of all geophysical processes affecting the rate of sea level rise in climate models and current limitations of climate models to predict the future. As such, the Work Group recommends that the unified sea level rise projection include three global mean sea level rise curves regionally adapted to account for the acceleration of sea level change observed in South Florida. The titles of the global mean sea level rise curves were retained for simplicity of referencing source but the curves have been adjusted from the global projections to reflect observed local change. The projection consists of the NOAA High Curve, the USACE High Curve (also known as the NOAA Intermediate- High) and the median of the IPCC AR5 RCP8.5 scenario, with specific guidance as to how and when they should be used in planning. • The lower boundary of the projection (blue dashed line) can be applied in designing low risk projects that are easily replaceable with short design lives, are adaptable and have limited interdependencies with other infrastructure or services. • The shaded zone between the IPCC AR5 RCP8.5 median curve and the USACE High is recommended to be generally applied to most projects within a short -term planning horizon. It reflects what the Work Group projects will be the most likely range of sea level rise for the remainder of the 21st Century. • The upper curve of the projection should be utilized for planning of high risk projects to be constructed after 2060 or projects which are not easily replaceable or removable, have a long design life (more than 50 years) or are critically interdependent with other infrastructure or services. 4 m a) E cc0 40 N J N 30 c a) c 20 80 Unified sea Level Rise Projection (Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact, 2015) 70 60 50 Year IPCC AR5 USACE High Median (inches) (inches) 2030 2060 2100 1992 2000 2010 2020 2030. 2040 2050 Year 2060 USACE Intermediate/ NOAA Intermediate Low 2070. 2080 2090 2100 Figure 1: Unified Sea Level Rise Projection. These projections are referenced to mean sea level at the Key West tide gauge. The projection includes three global curves adapted for regional application: the median of the IPCC AR5 RCP8.5 scenario as the lowest boundary (blue dashed curve), the USACE High curve as the upper boundary for the short term for use until 2060 (solid blue line), and the NOAA High curve as the uppermost boundary for medium and long term use (orange solid curve). The incorporated table lists the projection values at years 2030, 2060 and 2100. The USACE Intermediate or NOAA Intermediate Low curve is displayed on the figure for reference (green dashed curve). This scenario would require significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in order to be plausible and does not reflect current emissions trends. 5 PROJECTION DEVELOPMENT METHODOLOGY PROJECTION UPDATE The key components of the methodology used to develop the unified sea level rise projection are as follows: Planning Horizon of 2100: In response to the release of climate scenarios extending to year 2100 from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), projections through year 2100 by federal agencies including the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the need for planning for infrastructure with design lives greater than 50 years, the unified sea level rise projection time scale has been extended to 2100. Starting in 1992: The year 1992 has been selected as the initial year of the projection because it is the center of the current mean sea level National Tidal Datum Epoch of 1983- 2001. A tidal datum epoch is a 19 year period adopted by the National Ocean Service as the official time segment over which tide observations are used to establish tidal datums such as mean sea level, mean high water etc. The National Tidal Datum Epoch is revised every 20-25 years to account for changing sea levels and land elevations. Tide gauge selection: The Key West gauge (NOAA Station ID 8724580) was maintained as the reference gauge for calculation of the regional projection as was used in the original projection. In addition, appropriate conversion calculations are provided in Section 4: Guidance for Application in order to reference the projection to the Miami Beach gauge (NOAA Station ID 8723170) or the Lake Worth Pier gauge (NOAA Station ID 8722670). The Key West gauge has recorded tidal elevations since 1913. Tidal records from Miami Beach and Lake Worth Pier are available since 2003 and 1996, respectively. Review of existing projections: Global projections released since 2011 were reviewed and considered for interpretation for the unified sea level rise projection including those developed by USACE (2011; 2013), NOAA (Parris et al., 2012), IPCC (IPCC, 2013), Bamber and Aspinall (2013), Horton et al. (2014), Jevrejeva et al. (2014), and Kopp et al. (2014). Review criteria included comprehensiveness of datasets and models used to develop the projections, standing in the scientific community, and applicability to the Southeast Florida region. Summaries of the existing global projections are included below: •• USACE Guidance: There was no update to the projections since 2011 (USACE, 2011). The range of global mean sea level change projected by USACE was approximately 0.2 to 0.6 meters (9 to 25 inches) by 2060 and 0.5 to 1.5 meters (20 to 59 inches) by 2100. Existing guidance and the online USACE Sea Level Change Calculator were used to adapt the global mean sea level change curves for the unified South Florida projection. IPCC AR5 Projections: The St" Assessment Report (AR5) included four scenarios based on predicted greenhouse gas concentration trajectories (Regional Concentration Pathways, BCPs), The global mean sea level change projected in these scenarios ranged from 0.17 to 0.38 meters (7 to 15 inches) by years 2046 to 2065 and 0.26 to 0.82 meters (10 to 32 inches) by 2081 to 2100. ':' NOAA Projections produced for the National Climate Assessment (NCA): For the 2014 NCA, four global mean sea level rise scenarios were defined in a manner allowing the user to select the appropriate curve based on risk of concern, uncertainty tolerance and type of application. The global mean sea level rise projected in these scenarios ranges from 0.2 meters to 2 meters (8 to 80 inches) by 2100. •• Recent Probabilistic Projections: Recently, several authors have quantitatively and qualitatively approached determining the likelihood or percent chance that the global mean sea level rise projections will occur by 2100. For example, based on a probability density function, Jevrejeva et al. (2014) concluded that there is only a 5% chance global mean sea level rise will be larger than 1.8 meters (71 inches) by 2100. Using an alternate method, Kopp et al. (2014) concluded there is only a 5% chance global mean sea level rise will be larger than 1.76 meters (69 inches). These studies represent examples of possible methods of further explaining applicability of projections for future use. '• Science Community Polling: Several polls have been conducted amongst groups within the scientific community to understand the experts' opinions on the level of uncertainty associated with existing global mean sea level rise projections. These surveys have yielded reported likely ranges of global mean sea level rise of 0.4 to L2 m (16 to 42 inches) depending on warming scenarios (Horton et al., 2014) and 0.29 m to 0.84 m (11 to 33 inches) (Bamber and Aspinall, 2013) by 2100. 7 Projection confidence: The understanding of past sea level changes has improved since the Work Group's last review due to additional observations and analyses of processes driving thermal expansion, loss of ice from ice sheets and glaciers and terrestrial water storage by the scientific community. Despite this improved understanding, the development of complex climate models is evolutionary and many processes and responses are yet to be incorporated. The numerous ice melt accelerating feedbacks not in the models are especially of concern as they are speeding up ice melt and sea level rise well beyond model projections. Models do continue to offer useful approximations of trends and order of magnitude of rates of change and acceleration based on climate data input and are suitable for determining projected future ranges for planning and design efforts. Additionally, as noted in Parris et al. (2012), the quadratic curves comprising the projection were selected by the some of the scientific community for simplicity. Sea level will not rise in the smooth manner illustrated by the quadratic curves but, may be punctuated by faster and slower rates (Parris et al., 2013). 8 DANCE i= R APP 'i,LCAT tON INCREASE IN RECURRENT FLOODING AND REDUCED DRAINAGE CAPACITY Recent analyses of tide gauge records acquired along the US Atlantic coast indicate a rapid acceleration in the rate of sea level rise since 2000, which was attributed to possible slowing down of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) (Ezer et al., 2013; Sallenger et al., 2012; Yin et al., 2009). The higher sea level resulted in increasing flooding frequency in several coastal communities, e.g., Boston, Norfolk, and Miami Beach (Ezer et al., 2013; Kirshen et al., 2008; I<leinosky et al., 2007; Wdowinski et al., 2015). These frequent flood events, often termed "nuisance flooding", occur mainly due to heavy rain during high tide conditions but sometimes occur due to high tide alone and are termed "King tides", "lunar flooding" or"sunny sky flooding". Recently, Ezer and Atkinson (2014) used tide gauge data to calculate accumulated flooding time in twelve locations along the Atlantic coast and showed a significant increase in flooding duration over the past twenty years. They suggested that flood duration is a reliable indicator for the accelerating rate of sea level rise, which is often difficult to estimate on a regional -scale. On the national scale, NOAA (2014) published an assessment of nuisance flooding finding that the duration and frequency of these events are intensifying around the United States. Subsequently, Sweet and Park (2014) demonstrated that coastal areas are experiencing an increased frequency of flood events (an acceleration) over the last few decades, and that this acceleration in flood occurrence will continue regardless of the specific rate of sea level rise. A detailed analysis of nuisance flooding occurrence in Miami Beach was conducted by Wdowinski et al. (2015), who used a variety of data sources (tide gauge, rain gauge, media reports, insurance claims, and photo records) from the past 16 years (1998-2013). They found that most flooding events occur after heavy rain (> 80 mm, 3 inches) during high tide conditions, but also after the fall equinox tides regardless of rain events. An analysis of flooding frequency over the past 16 years revealed that since 2006, rain -induced events increased by 33% and tide -induced events quadrupled, from 2 events during 1998-2005 to 8-16 events in 2006-2013. Wdowinski et al. (2015) also analyzed the nearby Virginia I<ey tide gauge record and found a significant acceleration in the rate of sea level rise since 2006. The average rate of regional sea level rise since 2006 is 9±4 mm/yr, significantly higher than the global average rate of 2.8±0.4 mm/yr estimated from in-situ data (Church and White, 2011). Although the Work Group notes that continued analysis of changes in trends over time is necessary to determine long-term significance of this recently observed uptrend, studies have already begun to correlate the regional sea level rise to the slowing down of the Gulfstream. A comparison between sea level variations near Miami with high-resolution global climate model simulations (Kirtman et al., 2012) revealed a strong correlation between increasing sea level rise in the Miami area and a 9 weakening of the Florida Current -Gulf Stream system. This finding confirmed concurs with other studies that relate sea level rise acceleration along the US Atlantic coast with weakening of the Gulf Stream (e.g., Ezer et al., 2013; Park and Sweet, 2015). STORM SURGE AND SEA LEVEL RISE Storm surge and sea level rise are independent coastal processes that when occurring simultaneously lead to compounded impacts. Sea level rise will increase the inland areal extent inundated by surges, the depth of flooding and power of the surge and the extent and intensity of damage associated with storm surge and waves. As a result, severe storms of the future will cause more damage than storms of equal intensity occurring at today's sea level. Tebaldi et al. (2012) estimate a 100 -year magnitude surge flooding (by today's standards) will begin to occur every 20 years at the projected mean sea level in 2050. Regional hazard mapping does not yet include the combined effects of sea level rise and surge but the impacts are anticipated to be significant. Historically, the sea level extremes have increased along with the increase in mean sea level at locations along the coasts. Using this as the basis, one can relate the sea level extremes to mean sea level which allows the determination of future extremes and return periods (Obeysekera and Park, 2013). Another approach is to use the non -tidal residuals (component of storm surge and waves above the tidal variations), NTR, and determine their probabilistic characteristics. Assuming future sea level rise scenarios and the tidal variations, one can then superimpose extreme storm surge of NTR for a given return period to determine total sea level extreme for a given time epoch in the future. Return period for a given scenario can be determined using methods outlined in Salas and Obeysekera (2014). Both approaches assume there is no change in future "storminesss" although with higher sea levels, magnitude of storm surge may change at some locations along the coasts. ;NATURAL RESOURCE DEGRADATION As sea level rise increasingly inundates coastal areas, there is the potential for degradation of natural resources and loss of their services to the surrounding environment. Ecosystems will transition either by retreat and migration, adaptation, or elimination of functions and certain species. Shallow water habitats may transition to open water, forcing ecological changes in coastal wetlands and estuaries affecting nesting, spawning and feeding locations and behavior. Intrusion of saltwater inland, into inland water bodies and within the aquifer is negatively impacting freshwater resources, and these impacts will worsen or accelerate with further sea level rise. Inundation of shorelines will increase the extent and severity of beach erosion and 10 previously stable coastal areas. In combination, these impacts will cascade throughout the region's ecosystems even if they are not immediately adjacent to open water areas. Natural infrastructure is critical to the resilience of the urban environment, in that it provides many benefits related to storm protection, water and air purification, moderating urban heat effects, and socio -economics. South Florida's tourist economy is heavily dependent on these natural resources. The region must prioritize providing space for habitat transitions and focus on reducing anthropogenic pressures that would compound the degrading effects of sea level rise. GUIDANCE IN APPLYING THE PROJECTIONS AUDIENCES The Unified Sea Level Rise Projection for Southeast Florida is intended to be used for planning purposes by a variety of audiences and disciplines when considering sea level rise in reference to both short and long-term planning horizons as well as infrastructure siting and design in the Southeast Florida area. Potential audiences for the projections include, but are not limited to, elected officials, urban planners, architects, engineers, developers, resource managers and public works professionals. One of the key values of the projection is the ability to associate specific sea level rise scenarios with timelines. When used in conjunction with vulnerability assessments, these projections inform the user of the potential magnitude and extent of sea level rise impact at a general timeframe in the future. The blue shaded portion of the projection provides a likely range for sea level rise values at specific planning horizons. Providing a range instead of a single value may present a challenge to users such as engineers who are looking to provide a design with precise specifications. Public works professionals and urban planners need to work with the engineers and with policy makers to apply the projection to each project based on the nature, value, interconnectedness, and life cycle of the infrastructure proposed. Finally, elected officials should use the projections to inform decision making related to issues such as adaptation policies, budget impacts associated with design features which address planning for future sea level rise, capital improvement project needs especially those associated with drainage and shoreline protection, and land use decisions. APPLYING PROJECTION CURVES TO INFRASTRUCTURE SITING AND DESIGN When determining how to apply the projection curves, the user needs to consider the nature, value, interconnectedness, and life cycle of the existing or proposed infrastructure. The blue 11 shaded portion of the projection can be applied to most infrastructure projects, especially those with a design life expectancy of less than 50 years. The designer of a type of infrastructure that is easily replaced, has a short lifespan, is adaptable, and has limited interdependencies with other infrastructure or services must weigh the potential benefit of designing for the upper blue line with the additional costs. Should the designer opt for specifying the lower curve, she/he must consider the consequences of under -designing for the potential likely sea level condition. Such consequences may include premature infrastructure failure. Additionally, planning for adaptation should be initiated in the conceptual phase. A determination must be made on whether or not threats can be addressed mid-life cycle via incremental adaptation measures, such as raising the height of a sluice gate on a drainage canal.. Forward thinking risk management is critical to avoiding loss of service, loss of asset value and most importantly loss of life or irrecoverable resources. An understanding of the risks that critical infrastructure will be exposed to throughout its life cycle such as sea level rise inundation, storm surge and nuisance flooding must be established early on in the conceptual phase. If incremental adaptation is not possible for the infrastructure proposed and inundation is likely, designing to accommodate the projected sea level rise at conception or selection of an alternate site should be considered. Projects in need of a greater factor of safety related to potential inundation should consider designing for the upper limit of the blue -shaded zone. Examples of such projects may include evacuation routes planned for reconstruction, communications and energy infrastructure and critical government and financial facilities. Due to the community's fundamental reliance on major infrastructure, existing and proposed critical infrastructure should be evaluated using the upper curve of the projection, the orange curve (Figure 1, NOAA High). Critical projects include those or projects which are not easily replaceable or removable, have a long design life (more than 50 years), or are interdependent with other infrastructure or services. If failure of the critical infrastructure would have catastrophic impacts, it is considered to be high risk. Due of the community's critical reliance on major infrastructure, existing and proposed high risk infrastructure should be evaluated using the upper curve of the projection, the orange curve (Figure 1, NOAA High). Examples of high risk critical infrastructure include nuclear power plants, wastewater treatment facilities, levees or impoundments, bridges along major evacuation routes, airports, seaports, railroads, and major highways. For low risk infrastructure projects, the lowermost curve of the projection (Figure 1, IPCC AR5 RCP8.5 curve) may be applied. Low risk projects include infrastructure expected to be constructed and then replaced within the next 10 years, projects that are easily replaceable and 12 adaptable or projects with limited interdependencies and limited impacts when failure occurs. An example of such a project may be a small culvert in an isolated area. Additionally, planning for adaptation should be initiated in the conceptual phase. A determination must be made on whether or not risk can be addressed mid-life cycle via incremental. If incremental adaptation is not possible for the type of high risk infrastructure proposed and inundation is likely, designing to accommodate the projected sea level rise at conception or selection of an alternate site should be considered. To ensure an appropriately conservative design approach is used, the upper limit of the projection (Figure 1, NOAA High) should be used for projects with design lives of more than 50 years. AVAILABLE VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTS The Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact and the individual Compact Counties have developed region -wide and county -wide sea level rise inundation vulnerability assessments available for public use (Compact, 2012). These assessments spatially delineate areas of inundation correlating to 1 foot, 2 feet and 3 feet of sea level rise. In addition, the Compact website hosts a multitude of sources of information, tools and links in support of adaptation and mitigation planning for use by the Compact communities. UltdMARS The Work Group recommends the use of the NOAA High Curve, the USACE High Curve (USACE, 2015) and the median of the IPCC AR5 RCP8.5 scenario (IPCC, 2013) as the basis for a Southeast Florida sea level rise projection for the 2030, 2060 and 2100 planning horizons. In the short term, sea level rise is projected to be 6 to 10 inches by 2030 and 14 to 26 inches by 2060 (above the 1992 mean sea level). Sea level has risen 3 inches from 1992 to 2015. In the long term, sea level rise is projected to be 31 to 61 inches by 2100. For critical infrastructure projects with design lives in excess of 50 years, use of the upper curve is recommended with planning values of 34 inches in 2060 and 81 inches in 2100. Sea level will continue to rise even if global mitigation efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are successful at stabilizing or reducing atmospheric CO2 concentrations; however, emissions mitigation is essential to moderate the severity of potential impacts in the future. A substantial increase in sea level rise within this century is likely and may occur in rapid pulses rather than gradually. The recommended projection provides guidance for the Compact Counties and their partners to initiate planning to address the potential impacts of sea level rise on the region. The shorter term planning horizons (through 2060) are critical to implementation of the Southeast Florida Regional 13 Climate Change Action Plan, to optimize the remaining economic life of existing infrastructure and to begin to consider adaptation strategies. As scientists develop a better understanding of the factors and reinforcing feedback mechanisms impacting sea level rise, the Southeast Florida community will need to adjust the projections accordingly and adapt to the changing conditions. To ensure public safety and economic viability in the long run, strategic policy decisions will be needed to develop guidelines to direct future public and private investments to areas less vulnerable to future sea level rise impacts. 14 TEf FL CITE Bamber J.

The projection highlights three planning horizons: 1) Short term, by 2030, sea level rise is projected to be 6 to 10 inches above 1992 mean sea level; 2) Medium term, by 2060, sea level rise is projected to be 14 to 26 inches above 1992 mean sea level with the less likely possibility of extending to 34 inches; 3) Long term, by 2100, sea level rise is projected to be 31 to 61 inches above 1992 mean sea level with the less likely possibility of extending to 81 inches. The Unified Sea Level Rise Projection for Southeast Florida include three curves, named after the global sea level rise curves from which they were derived: the NOAA High Curve (orange solid), the USACE High Curve (blue solid) and the median of the IPCC AR5 scenario (blue dashed). The blue shaded area represents the likely range of sea level rise for our region. The orange curve represents a condition that is possible but Tess likely. The USACE Intermediate or NOAA Intermediate Low curve is displayed on the figure for reference (green dashed curve). This scenario would require significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in order to be plausible and does not reflect the impact on sea level from the current emissions trends. When determining how to apply the projection curves, the user needs to consider the nature, value, interconnected ness,—and-Fife-cycle-of-th-e-infrastructure-in-question,—The-following-guidance-- ---- is provided for using the projection. 21 • The shaded zone between the IPCC AR5 median curve and the USACE High is recommended to be generally applied to most projects within a short to long-term planning horizon, especially those with a design Fife expectancy of less than 50 years. The designer of a type of infrastructure that is easily replaced, has a short lifespan, is adaptable, and has limited interdependencies with other infrastructure or services must weigh the potential benefit of designing for the upper blue line with the additional costs. Should the designer opt for specifying the lower curve, he must consider the consequences of under designing for the potential likely condition. • The uppermost boundary of the projection (orange curve) should be utilized for planning of critical infrastructure to be constructed after 2060 or projects with a long design life (more than 50 years) as a conservative estimate of potential sea level rise. Critical projects include those which are not easily replaceable or removable, have a long design life (more than 50 years), or are interdependent with other infrastructure or services. If failure of the infrastructure would have catastrophic impacts on the economy, community or environment, it should be considered critical. To reference the projection to the current year i.e. 2015, simply subtract the values listed in the table below from the projected sea level rise. For example, based on the projection, sea level rise in 2030 will be 6 to 10 inches above 1992 mean sea level. In order to determine how much rise will occur relative to the current year, 2015, the values listed in the table below for the IPCC AR5 median and USACE High curves can be subtracted from the projected range i.e. 6-3=3 inches for the lower end of the range and 10-4.3=5.6 inches for the upper end of the range, respectively. The projection can be restated as such: sea level will rise 3 to 5.6 inches from this year (2015) to 2030.

By definition it is the vertical control datum of orthometric height established for vertical control surveying in the United States of America based upon the General Adjustment of the North American Datum of 1988, Alternatively, the USACE Sea Level Change Curve Calculator (Version 2018.88) (USACE, 2015) found at this website http://www.corpsclimate.us/ccaceslcurves.cfm can be used to change datums, reference years and tide gauge locations. The projection curves were generated using this tool. The equations used for the curves comprising the unified sea level rise projection are as follows: • NOAA High Curve (Parris, 2012) and USACE High Curve (USACE, 2013): E(t) = E(t1)= a(t2 — t1) + b(t2=0-2) where E(t2) — E(t1) = Eustatic sea level change (m) with reference year of 1992; t1 = difference in time between current year or construction date and 1992 e.g. 2015-1992 = 23 years; t2 = difference in time between future date of interest and 1992 i.e. 2060-1992 = 68 years; where a is a constant equal to 0.0017 mm/yr, representing the rate of global mean sea level change, 23 and b is a variabe equal to 1.56x10-4 for the NOAA High Curve; 1.13x10-4 for the USACE high curve, representing the acceleration of sea level change. IPCC AR5 RCP8.5 Median Curve (IPCC, 2013): E(t2) — E(t1)= 0.0017(t2— ti) + (4.684499x10 -5)(t22 — t12) •3 The NOAA Intermediate Low/ USACE Low curve that is not part of the projection but included on the graph for reference (green dashed line) can be derived as follows: E(t2) — E(t1)= 0.0017(t2— t1) + (2.71262x10 -5)(t22 — t12) The equations above are global mean sea level rise projections. In order to adapt the curves for regional use, the average rate of mean sea level rise or "a" value is adjusted. For example, to reference the above equations to the I<ey West tide gauge, a equals 0.0022 mm/yr. 24 LLu.. 80 -- (Southea 70 0 ro v w c 50 1p 4) E 2 40 v r� 0 v c 20 Unified Sea Level Rise Projection Florida Regional Climate Change Compact, 2015) Year IPCC AR5 Median (inches) 2030 2060 2100 6 4 USACE High NOAA High (inches) [ (inches) 1992. 2000 2010 2020 2030 2040 2050 Yea r USAGE intermediate/ NOAA Intermediate Low 2060 2070 2080 2090 2100 Figure A-1: Unified Sea Level Rise Projection.

ACCELERATION OF SEA LEVEL RISE A statistically significant acceleration of sea level rise has been documented in the latter half of the 20th century continuing through recent years (Church and White, 2011; Calafat and Chambers, 2013; Hay et al. 2015; IPCC, 2013; Watson et al., 2015). Hay et al. (2015) reported the global sea level rise rate from 1901 to 1990 to be L2 +/- 0.2 mm/yr (a value which had been overestimated in previous studies). Since 1993, an increase in the average global mean sea level rise rate has been observed (Hay et al., 2015; Watson et al., 2015). Watson et al. (2015) has most recently reported the average global mean sea level rise rate to be more than double the rate of the previous century, indicating an acceleration; the observed rate was 2.6+0.4 mm/yr from 1993 to 2015 with an acceleration of 0.04 mm/yr2. This acceleration indicates sea level will rise more rapidly in the future than it has historically. The global and regional processes driving sea level rise and its acceleration are discussed in the following sections. FACTORS INFLUENCING SEA LEVEL RISE GLOBAL PROCESSES In 2011, the Work Group noted studies describing a variety of reinforcing (positive) feedbacks that are accelerating ice sheet melt in Greenland and Antarctica and also accelerating Arctic pack ice melt, permafrost thaw and organic decay, and methane hydrate release from the warming Siberian Shelf, in addition to other global processes affecting sea level rise i.e. increasing greenhouse gas concentrations, changes in volcanic forcing and tropospheric aerosol loading (Compact, 2011). Since then, numerous additional reinforcing feedbacks have been documented and previously recognized feedbacks have intensified. ACCELERATION OF ICE MELT Accelerated melting of the ice sheets on Greenland and Antarctica (Rignot et al., 2011; Taipe et 2014) is expected to be the predominant factor affecting sea level rise acceleration during the 21' Century. Melting is caused by increasing temperatures and warming of the atmosphere, warm currents moving along the coast of Greenland, and warm ocean water moving under and up into ice sheets through deep outlet glacial fjords in Antarctica. Recent observations have indicated ice sheets are more vulnerable to melting than previously realized due to the extent of deep valleys within the ice sheets connecting warmer ocean water to the internal areas of the ice sheets thus causing rapid melting and peripheral thinning (Jenkins et al., 2010; Jacobs et al., 2011; Morlighem et al., 2014; Rignot et al., 2014; Greenbaum et al., 2015). Accelerated melting results in large discharges of fresh water which raises the local sea level near the ice sheets (8 26 inches around Antarctica over past 20 years) (Rye et al., 2014). This release of freshwater has resulted in a seasonal increase in the amount of sea ice in the Antarctic (Bintanja et al., 2013; Rye et al., 2014) and slower circulation of North Atlantic surface water, also known as Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (Rahmstorf et al., 2015). The slowdown in circulation may contribute to increased local sea level rise along the Florida coast, as discussed in the Regional/ Local Processes section. The IPCC projections do not include the factors related to acceleration of ice melting processes described above, and as a result are likely an underestimate of future sea level rise (Rignot et al., 2011). ICE SHEET DISINTEGRATION Indicators of ice sheet disintegration include retreat of the ice sheet's outer boundary and rapid thinning. Lateral flow of the Greenland Ice Sheet margin, the outer boundary, has dramatically accelerated in the past two decades in response to surface melt waters penetrating fractures in the ice and warming and softening the ice (Bell et al., 2014). In addition to retreat, the ice sheets have initiated a rapid thinning process due to basal melt (Pritchard et al., 2012), signaling the initiation of prolonged ice sheet degradation based on historic analysis (Johnson et al., 2014). Joughin et al. (2011) have used numerical models to look at the sensitivity of the outlet glaciers of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to ocean water melt and have concluded that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet collapse is already underway; the extent of the collapse in the future is not yet known. As part of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite monitoring program, ice sheet mass loss has been quantified as 280±58 gigatons per year (Gt/yr) from Greenland and up to 180±10 Gt/yr in Antarctica (Velicogna et al., 2014). As a reference for the magnitude of a gigaton, one could estimate one gigaton to equal the mass of over one hundred million elephants. In addition, significant recent work was completed to verify the estimated contribution of ice sheet disintegration to sea level rise using satellite data (Jacob et al., 2012; King et al., 2012; Gardner et al., 2013) with the conclusion that ice sheet melt accounted for 29±13% of sea level rise from 2003 to 2009 (Gardner, 2013). In order to further refine the estimates and projections of the magnitude of ice sheet degradation and their contribution to sea level rise, the complex dynamics driving ice sheet melt need to be better understood, in particular the mechanisms driving interactions between ice sheets and warm currents. WARM CURRENTS In 2011, the Work Group acknowledged the effects of warm ocean water currents accelerating summer pack ice melt and causing melting beneath the outlet glaciers. Recent work has further clarified the compounding mechanisms driving the flow and temperature changes of warm currents. Spence et al. (2014) analyzed the poleward shift in direction of the southern hemisphere westerly winds since the 1950's and simulated the intense warming of coastal waters 27 associated with such a shift in order to explain and forecast the significant temperature increase in ocean waters interacting with the base of ice sheets and floating ice shelves. This study serves to validate the projection of the persistence of this wind trend and the resulting melting due to warm current interaction. Separate from wind forcing, an increase in ocean surface stress due to thinning of the formerly consolidated sea -ice cover near Antarctica is proposed to result in a redirection of warm ocean currents into submarine glacial troughs and further expediting melting of the deep ice -shelf base based on ocean -ice modeling (Hellmer et al., 2012). Ice sheet melt as a result of interaction with warm currents is one of the dominant factors contributing to recent global sea level rise (IPCC, 2013); however, as discussed in the next section, land based contributions to global warming may further exacerbate sea level rise in the future. THAWING PERMAFROST The potential for significant additional emissions of carbon dioxide and methane from thawing permafrost and the rate of occurrence continues to be investigated. The intricate feedback mechanisms associated with permafrost are not well understood; as such, the IPCC did not include permafrost thaw in its projections (Collins et al., 2013). This deficiency was criticized publicly due to the theorized potential for permafrost carbon emissions to exceed emissions from fossil fuel use. Schuur et al. 2013 conducted a survey of experts to quantify permafrost change in response to four global warming scenarios and found despite risk for significant contributions of emissions from thawing, fossil fuel combustion was likely to remain the main source of emissions and climate forcing until 2100 based on the proposed warming scenarios. Following the release of the IPCC (2013) report, demand for research to understand the dynamics of the physical and chemical permafrost processes has increased in order to confirm the estimates of -emissions fronrrthawing-.—A n -initial step, the occurrence -of significant submarine permafrost thawing was confirmed by Overduin et al. (2014) when 8 to 10°C of warming within the permafrost layer was observed in less than 1,000 years, resulting in a degradation of ice - bearing permafrost at the rate of 3 cm/yr. In addition, seawater seeping through soil pores was identified as the source of sulfate necessary to oxidize methane in the upper layer of the thawing permafrost. Although site specific, studies such as Overduin et al. (2014) will begin to provide the information necessary to incorporate permafrost thawing into models and projections in the near future. REGIONAL/ LOCAL PROCESSES VERTICAL LAND MOVEMENT Vertical earth movements, which regionally and locally modify the globally averaged rate of sea level change, result in a relative rate of change that varies from one location to another. These 28 land motions have been inferred from historical tide data and geodesic measurements. When added to projected rates of global mean sea level rise, they result in a perceived change ranging from increased rise in regions of subsidence (e.g., New Orleans) to falling sea levels where the land is being uplifted (e.g., along the northern border of the Gulf of Alaska). Other regions are geologically stable and have only small differences with respect to the global rate of change. In South Florida, in general, coastal land elevations are considered to be relatively stable meaning that the land is not experiencing significant uplift nor subsidence. It is also important to note, the vertical land movement that is occurring is non-uniform across South Florida and movement measured at specific monitoring stations sites may not reflect vertical land movement in adjacent areas. The Continuously Operating Reference (COR) network of permanent Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers provides precise measurements of vertical land movement in four locations throughout Southeast Florida (Key West, Virginia Key, Pompano Beach, and Palm Beach) over periods of nine to eleven years. Additional continuous GPS measurements have been acquired in eight other sites in the region over various time periods (two to eleven years). Precise analysis of these data reveals negligible vertical movements at most stations (less than 1 mm/yr) (Snay et al., 2007; Santamaria-Gomez et al., 2012; NGL, 2015). However, some stations show 1 to 6 mm/yr of subsidence, reflecting mostly local unstable conditions of the GPS antenna monument (e.g., local building movements) (e.g., Bock et al., 2012). National Geodetic Survey has operated continuous GPS stations at Key West, Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Palm Beach Gardens. The GPS data of these sites were processed by the Nevada Geodetic Laboratory, who presents the results at GPS time series (http://geodesy.unr.edu/index.php). The rates of vertical land movement at these stations are shown in Table 1 (Blewitt et al., 2015). It should be noted vertical land movement is non-uniform across South Florida as a result of geology variations and the non-uniform compaction of fill placed during development of the region. Subsidence at tide stations is closely monitored to ensure the accuracy of sea level rise measurements. The regional rate of sea level rise is affected by such localized subsidence and is accounted for in the regional sea level rise acceleration variable incorporated in the projections adapted for the region. 29 Table 1: Continuous GPS Operation in Southeast Florida (Blewitt et al., 2015) `erica (mm/yr) KY 6 Port Lauderdale Executive 2005-2014; Airport 2014-2015 -0.5± 1.1 2009 -present -1.8+ 1.2 Additionally, in some regions, the effects of changing ocean currents can further modify the relative local rate of sea level rise. Such is the case of the east coast of Florida, as is discussed in the next section, Ocean Dynamics, Gulfstream/ Circulation OCEAN DYNAMICS, GULFSTREAM/ CIRCULATION Ocean circulation has changed little during the current period of scientific observation, but in the future it can considerably alter the relative rate of sea level rise in some regions, including Southeast Florida. A slowing of the Florida Current and Gulf Stream will result in a more rapid sea level rise along the east coast of North America. By 2100, these circulation changes could contribute an extra 8 inches of sea level rise in New York and 3 inches in Miami according to. Yin et al. (2009). Most of the global climate models used by the IPCC (IPCC, 2007; 2013) project a 20- 30% weakening of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), of which the Gulf Stream and Florida Current are a part. Measurements of the AMOC have yet to conclusively detect the beginning of this change, however there has been a report of a recent decline in AMOC strength by Smeed et al. (2014) that coincides with the mid-Atlantic hotspot of sea level rise reported by Ezer et al. (2013) and Rahmstorf et al. (2015). Recent analysis of the Florida Current transport has detected a decrease in circulation over the last decade, which appears to account 30 for 60% of South Florida sea level rise over the decade and contribute to a positive acceleration (Park and Sweet, 2015). If a long-term slowdown of the AMOC and Florida Current. Rahmstorf et al. (2015) use a proxy method also suggesting that a slowdown of the AMOC has begun. If a long-term slowdown of the AMOC does occur, sea level rise along the Florida east coast could conceivably be as much as 20 cm (8 inches) greater than the global value by 2100. According to the most recent estimates by the IPCC (IPCC 2013, FigureB-1), the combined differential due to regional ocean heating and circulation change along the Southeast Florida coast would be in the range of 10%-20% greater than the globally averaged rise by 2090. For a median (50% probability) sea level rise of one meter by 2100, this would give about 10-20 cm (4- 8 inches) of additional rise along the Southeast Florida coast, which is within the range of estimates by Yin et al. (2009). However, the IPCC models do not have the horizontal resolution required to effectively estimate these changes at the scale of the Florida Current and more research with higher resolution ocean models will be required. As such, it is prudent to add —15% to the global mean sea level rise values projected by the IPCC in order to use them for Southeast Florida planning. This adjustment is accounted for in the regional sea level rise coefficients incorporated in the projections adapted for the region. 31 Percentage Deviation from Global Mean f=igure 3,21 of Ch.13, AR5 40 30 20 0 -10 -20 Figure B-1.

The figure was computed for RCP4.5, but to first order is representative for all Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP). RCPs are the four greenhouse gas concentration trajectories adopted by the IPCC for its fifth Assessment Report (AR5). 32 APP NOIX C ORKGR UP iAy ANC.ICti E DATION The following are recommendations made by the Work Group for consideration by the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Compact Steering Committee to be used by the Compact Counties as part of the implementation of the Regional Climate Change Action Plan. a. The unified SE FL sea level rise projection will need to be reviewed as the scientific understanding of ice melt dynamics improves. The projection should be revised within five years of final approval of this document by the Southeast Regional Climate Change Compact Steering Committee. This timing is consistent with the release of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Sixth Assessment Report which will provide a synthesis of the major findings in climate science to date. b. Users of the projection should be aware that at any point of time, sea level rise is a continuing trend and not an endpoint. c. The planet is currently on a high emissions trajectory for which committed sea level rise is probably near the high end of the ranges. It should also be noted that the attenuation of impacts through mitigation will not likely be sufficient to overcome the inertia of the climate system prior to 2060. d. Full and complete transparency of the projection and its implications should be promoted across the communities in order to encourage and guide effective and realistic planning, obtain realistic economic realities for maintaining functional infrastructure, insuring social and economically sound further development, and necessary adaptation. e. Further work to develop projections for the occurrence of extreme events in tandem with sea level rise may be necessary to assist communities in planning for storm drainage adaptation. 33 APPENDIX ; WLE NT OF PARTICIPANTS The Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact Counties (Monroe, Miami -Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties) and their partners wish to acknowledge the Work Group participants and members of the SE FL Regional Climate Change Compact Steering Committee for participating in meetings to support the development of the Unified Sea Level Rise Projection and the guidance document. The following members contributed to the development and refinement of the projection: Danchuk, Samantha, Ph.D., P.E. Berry, Leonard, Ph.D. Enfield, David, Ph.D. Gassman, Nancy, Ph.D. Harlem, Peter, Ph.D. Hefty, Nichole Heimlich, Barry Jurado, Jennifer, Ph.D. Kivett, Jeff, P.E. Landers, Glenn, P.E.

Steelman, Marcia, C.F.M Van Leer, John, Ph.D. Wanless, Hal, Ph.D. Wdowinski, Shimon, Ph.D. 34 APPENDIXt DEVIATION OM 2d 11 PROiE TION The updated unified sea level rise projection includes the range projected by the 2011 unified sea level rise projection with three enhancements. As described in previous paragraphs, the yearthe projection begins was shifted from 2010 to 1992. Since the projection now references the sea level rise that has occurred since 1992 instead of 2010, the values in the projection are larger as a result of the sea having 8 more years to rise. For example, at the lower boundary of the projection, by 2030, sea level rise is projected to be 5 inches above the where mean sea level was in 1992. This is the exact same projected elevation as 3 inches above where the mean sea level was in 2010, just a different elevation datum. Table 1 shows the adjustment of values from the 2011 Unified Projection with a reference (starting) year of 1992. Please note the lower boundary is the same in both the 2011 and 2015 projections. The second enhancement to the projection was the extension of the projection past 2060 continuing to 2100. The third enhancement to the projection was the addition of the NOAA High Curve as the upper boundary after Year 2060. For critical infrastructure projects with design lives in excess of 50 years, use of the upper curve is recommended with planning values of up to 34 inches in 2060 and up to 81 inches in 2100.

GENERAL. This Request for Qualifications (RFQ) is issued by the City of Miami Beach, Florida (the "City"), as the means for prospective Proposer to submit their qualifications, proposed scopes of work and cost Statement of Qualifications (the "proposal") to the City for the City's consideration as an option in achieving the required scope of services and requirements as noted herein. All documents released in connection with this solicitation, including all appendixes and addenda, whether included herein or released under separate cover, comprise the solicitation, and are complementary to one another and together establish the complete terms, conditions and obligations of the Proposer and, subsequently, the successful proposer(s) (the "contractor[s]") if this RFQ results in an award. The City utilizes PublicPurchase (www.publicpurchase.com) for automatic notification of competitive solicitation opportunities and document fulfillment, including the issuance of any addendum to this RFQ. Any prospective proposer who has received this RFQ by any means other than through PublicPurchase must register immediately with PublicPurchase to assure it receives any addendum issued to this RFQ. Failure to receive an addendum may result in disqualification of proposal submitted. 2. PURPOSE. The City purchases treated potable water from Miami/Dade County, and resales it to its customers. There are multiple connections to the Miami/Dade County water transmission system. The City collects wastewater from its customers, including satellite cities, and conveys it to Miami/Dade County for treatment. This RFP is issued pursuant to Chapter 287.055, Florida Statutes, the Consultants Competitive Negotiations Act (CCNA). The City provided (at its most recent count) potable water service to an estimated 10,414 domestic retail water accounts, and to approximately 2,958 irrigation (water -only) accounts. Expressed on an equivalent residential unit ("ERU") basis, the System provided service to about 29,001 domestic water ERUs and 8,443 irrigation ERUs. An ERU represents the average capacity for a single-family residential account (served by a 5/8 -inch meter), and is used to measure the total customer base on an equivalent basis (how many total equivalent households are being served) since a significant number of customers may represent a single account that serves a large group of customers (e.g., a condominium), or commercial customer that uses a large amount of water (e.g., a hospital or school). The ERUs were based on information published by the American Water Works Association regarding meter capacities, and which form the basis for the determination of meter equivalent factors. The City provided (at its most recent count) sanitary sewer service to an estimated 10,414 retail sanitary sewer accounts, and 29,001 sanitary sewer ERUs (all domestic water customers receive sanitary sewer service). The City also provides wholesale sanitary sewer to the Village of Bal Harbour, the Town of Bay Harbor Islands, the City of North Village, and the Town of Surfside (collectively, the "Satellite Cities"). The City is over 100 years old, and many of its infrastructure assets are believed to be aged, including installations completed early in the City's inception. Improvements, and expansions have been made throughout the City's history, and a comprehensive review of the entire water, and wastewater infrastructure needs to be performed. It is the City's intention to develop, and implement a long-term capital improvement plan to best position the community with a resilient, robust, environmentally responsible, and future proof, water, and wastewater system to serve into perpetuity. Additionally, it is important that Proposers shall have an understanding of Miami Beach's vulnerabilities to climate change and sea level rise; familiar with the work and regional planning tools of the SE Florida Climate Change Compact and aware of the City's approach to incremental adaptation over time. The City interested in partnering with the most innovative and solutions -oriented engineers in the field dedicated to resilience and Miami Beach Rising Above. RFQ 2017 -129 -KB 3 114.

Mere notice by Consultant to the Project Administrator shall not constitute authorization or approval by the City to perform such work. Performance of any such work and/or services by Consultant without the prior written consent of the Project Administrator shall be undertaken at Consultant's sole risk and liability. 2.16 Consultant shall establish, maintain, and categorize any and all Project documents and records pertinent to the Services and shall provide the City, upon request, with copies of any and all such documents and/or records.

THE PARTICIPATION IN THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OF CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS SHALL NOT PRECLUDE THE CITY FROM DECLARING CONSULTANT IN DEFAULT FOR CONSULTANT'S FAILURE TO PERFORM SUCH OBLIGATION, NOR SHALL IT LIMIT, IN ANY WAY, THE CITY'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THE CONSULTANT EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES NOT TO RAISE OR ASSERT AS DEFENSE TO ANY CLAIM, ACTION, SUIT AND/OR OTHER PROCEEDING OF A SIMILAR NATURE, THE CITY'S PARTICIPATION, ASSISTANCE AND/OR FACILITATION IN THE PERFORMANCE OF CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS.

However, the City's failure to request such documentation or evidence and/or failure to enforce in any way the terms and provisions of this Section, the Agreement and/or any other Consultant Service Order during the Project does not excuse, waive and/or condone in any way any noncompliance of the requirements set forth therein including, without limitation, the professional licensure requirements. Any approval of a Subconsultant by the City shall in no way shift from the Consultant to City the responsibility for the quality and acceptability of the services performed by the Subconsultant.

AECOM Value Engineering / Constructability Reviews - The effort that pays the most dividends and provides the greatest return for infrastructure projects similar to what the City contemplates under this contract is to perform robust Constructability reviews during the design phase of the projects. This is critical for both the traditional Design -Bid -Build and Design -Build approach. The AECOM Team includes a local construction manager well -seasoned in the construction of infrastructure replacement projects similar to what the City is contemplating, Richard Ulkus, CG. Value Engineering/Constructability Expert Richard Ulkus, GC Rich Ulkus has over 40 years of experience in the construction of a wide range of water and wastewater treatment and conveyance projects, with unique experience in providing constructability reviews for projects from the perspective of an experienced certified licensed He also brings conventional design - general contractor. bid -build and alternative delivery experience having worked on both design -build and construction management at risk (CMAR) projects through -out Florida. As a Certified General Contractor in the State of Florida, Rich is AECOM's 'go to' person for constructability reviews in water/wastewater infrastructure projects. Various Added Services The AECOM has specialized, innovative capabilities and tools that will enable us to deliver sustainable solutions quickly and more cost-effectively than would otherwise be possible. We have used these technologies and tools for other utilities similar to the City to make infrastructure assessments more efficient and accurate so that we can quickly move forward with our clients to address deficiencies and develop and implement workable, cost effective solutions, These include the following: 6 City of Miami Beach Computational Fluid Dynamics The capability to simulate water treatment process flows using three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques. CFD analysis enables AECOM Team to get things right the first time, improve existing designs, and to prove innovative designs without resorting to guesswork. CFD is the best available technology for hydraulic design. CFD involves the solution of the fundamental (Navier-Stokes) flow equations using a mathematical coprocessor and enables AECOM to investigate the dynamic behavior of a wide variety of engineering fluids. CFD is particularly well suited to complex flow applications within engineering hydraulics and to analyze and prevent short-circuiting of flows. Computer models are commonly built to simulate and investigate the hydraulic performance on a wide range of water treatment processes. The application of CFD techniques within the design process enables AECOM to deliver: • Innovative original designs • Cost-effective retrofits to existing systems • Increased confidence in system operation • Maximized system performance The application of CFD will help the AECOM Team to minimize unwanted effects such as non-uniform mixing, unwanted accumulation of solids, or unbalanced treatment nr purifiratinn prncAssos High Definition Surveying / 3D Laser Scanning Like many WTPs in large metropolitan areas, MDWASD's plants are aging and have undergone both major and minor upgrades and repairs over the years. Often, the lack of a comprehensive library of documented as -built drawings and other roadmaps to the R&R history of plants makes it difficult to quickly, accurately, and safely complete a physical inventory of all plant components to enable a comprehensive facility needs assessment. Realizing that the quality and delivery scheduling of any engineered design relies heavily on the availability and accuracy of as -built information, AECOM added a 3D laser scanning platform to our toolset in 2000. This technology employs a pulsed laser to rapidly capture fi ne three- AECOM Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater System Projects RFP 2017-129KB dimensional details of an area of interest. The dataset, or "point cloud," can be acquired at a rate of 1,000 points per second with an accuracy of 0.25 inches up to 160 feet. Scanning of a typical scene can be performed in less than 15 minutes with the data immediately available for dimensional analyses. Unlike conventional surveying, this device acquires 3D data from all objects in its line of sight, thus eliminating the need for costly site revisits to collect additional measurements. The 3D laser scanning platform is particularly useful for retrofit t projects. Since AECOM often uses 3D CAD to perform design work, the 3D laser scan data can be immediately incorporated into the design model. This reduces the time normally required to plan and design the interface between the existing and new equipment. In addition, there is less potential for clashes or interferences compared with conventional measurement techniques. Some of the benefits derived from the use of this technology include: • Compatibility with major CAD platforms: AutoCAD and Microstation • Immediate use of datasets for dimensional analyses • Reduced overall project costs by facilitating analysis, design, and construction activities • Enhanced 3D visualization to facilitate reviews and studies • Elimination of site revisits to collect additional measurements • Reduced exposure of survey crew to potentially hazardous project site conditions since measurements can be taken at significant offset distances • Mechanism for interference and clash detection • Minimized field rework caused by construction or fabrication errors, dramatically reducing or eliminating associated costs Corrosion Assessments Corrosion protection and/or control is a cost-effective and energy saving methods due to the significant benefits which include; reduction of contaminants to the public, extending the useful life of water mains and reducing water losses through leaking or broken mains. Corrosion protection by painting, coating, proper maintenance of the cathodic protection system, and continuous feeding of corrosion inhibitors are the major task of plant operation personnel. It is also a major design consideration for the AECOM Team. We will undertake an evaluation of the plant to determine areas where corrosion is extensive (physical City of Miami Beach Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater System Projects RFP 2017-129KB inspection and by performing a coupon test for verification) and determine the cause. Metals tend to have specific characteristics and interactions between them causing corrosion. However, when a metal surface has deposits of debris, or when lime particles create non- aerated zones beneath the deposits, corrosion begins in these anodic regions. Furthermore, if bacteria are growing under the deposits, they create an oxygen deficient condition that intensifies the corrosion, and will even corrode stainless steel. Secondary factors that will influence corrosion are the concentration of dissolved salts/metals in the water, level of dissolved gases, water temperature, stress corrosion, fatigue, and erosion/abrasion. Degradation of concrete structures is attributed to the corrosion occurring in the reinforcing steel within the concrete structures due to the wearing and formation of cracks in the concrete. These can be attributed to physical causes, chemical attacks, and bacterial actions. The AECOM Team understands that corrosion problems will exist, and will address these with high importance. We will include the following 5 steps for corrosion control of metals in the evaluation of existing structures and proposed structures: 1. Selection of construction materials, coatings/linings, and insulation 2. Application of corrosion inhibitors 3. Installation of cathodic protection system 4. Installation of sacrificial anodes 5. pH control by alkali chemicals GRACE Llliii CP -TEST FLUSH TEST STATION SVUAW k 4 0 PIPELINE NLOtlt YF I .- EXOTHERNIC WELD (TYP.) SS ZINC RIBBON (TAP.)

AECOM understands the importance in integrating energy AECOM efficiency provisions in facility upgrades and into future designs. Power costs associated with pumping are significant. AECOM has learned that optimization of pumping strategies can allow pumps to operate at their highest efficiency. Pump operating point selection and number of pumps needed to maximize energy efficiency for average operating conditions while meeting peak flow and reliability requirements is important for energy savings. In our experience, pumping inefficiencies are sometimes exacerbated by instrumentation inaccuracies that limit optimization and increase levels of unaccounted for water. Proper initial selection and sizing of meters, and continuing maintenance and calibration of instrumentation allow operators to optimize pumping strategies and provide additional savings in labor and reduced levels of nonrevenue water. Our Team Exceeds the Minimum Experience Requirements Pr me propeser shall submit ne-less than five (5) projects completed within the last ten (10) years completed exemplifying experience in water and wastewater system improvements. Details regarding the project name, description, start and completion, contact info and role in the project have been included on the descriptions provided in Section 2. Summaries of each, including applicability to the proposed scope of work, has been included below. City of Miami Beach Resiliency Program: The AECOM Team has been supporting the City of Miami Beach over the last two years with the development of a Resiliency Program. Our work has included review and revision recommendations of the City's land development and building codes to improve resilience to flooding and sea level rise. We also completed an assessment of the vulnerabilities and strengths of the City's assets to sea level rise. A key outcome of is the Guidance Document on Sea Level Rise Vulnerability, which includes the Adaptation Decision -Making Assessment and Planning Tool (ADAPT). ADAPT is an excel -based database and tool that includes 8 City of Miami Beach Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater System Projects RFP 2017-129KB an inventory of City assets and generates vulnerability ratings. The tool is intended to inform capital investment priorities, build an asset inventory data, and track the vulnerability of assets as they are modified and improved or when new assets are built. This tool would be essential for the decision-making process as the City develops and considers capital improvements to the water and wastewater system to make it resilient, environmentally responsible, dependable, and future proof. Lee County Integrated Water Resource Plan: AECOM assisted Lee County in developing a single Integrated Water Resources Master Plan, to serve as the road map for Lee County Utilities to follow in order to ensure that reliable and sustainable water supply and sanitary sewer services were provided within Lee County Utilities service areas. The scope of work for the project included population and demand projections, water resource characterization including surface water and groundwater modeling, evaluation of improved storage opportunities including ASR and surface water storage, development of hydraulic models for pipe network analysis, development and evaluation of water resource supply alternatives, and an Integrated. Water Resources Master Plan Final Report. The Master Plan Final Report identified the water resource infrastructure improvements that will be needed to meet the Lee County Utilities customer requirements in a timely and cost effective manner and result in an integrated, flexible and diverse water resource system. Collier County Public Utilities Master Plan: AECOM was selected to lead the development of a public utilities master plan for the Collier County Water and Sewer ns -and -operates a D potable water supply, treatment and distribution system; a wastewater collection, conveyance and treatment system; and an irrigation quality water supply and distribution system, which provides potable water and wastewater services to a seasonally adjusted population of over 200,000 in unincorporated areas of Collier County. The scope of work included population and demand projections, water resource characterization, evaluation of existing potable water and wastewater treatment capacity and gap analysis, evaluation of water quality goals and treatment options, utilization of existing hydraulic models for pipe network analysis, development of level of service standards and alternative water resource configurations, evaluation and prioritization of capital improvement projects, and development of recommended CIP and Final Master Plan Report.

AECOM's primary objective in this study is to assist the City in identifying the most feasible alternatives for addressing long-standing flooding issues in the City by (1) identifying successful flood mitigation strategies used by other cities facing similar drainage and construction problems; (2) providing an independent and unbiased peer review of the problems and proposed solutions from previous studies; (3) identifying and formulating any structural and non-structural options which might provide significant cost savings or lend themselves to easier implementation; and (4) leading a stakeholder, staff and consultant panel review of the expanded spectrum of available solutions. Additionally, AECOM's team of subject matter experts is working to identify any potential solutions which will provide significant flooding relief in the shorter term at a cost that is affordable to the City's storm water program, as a part of phased approach that moves toward an ultimate, comprehensive solution.

The CCWSD owns and operates a potable water supply, treatment and distribution system; a wastewater collection, conveyance and treatment system; and an irrigation quality water supply and distribution system, which provides potable water and wastewater services to a seasonally adjusted population of over 200,000 in unincorporated areas of Collier County. The scope of work included population and demand projections, water resource characterization, evaluation of existing potable water and wastewater treatment capacity and gap analysis, evaluation of water quality goals and treatment options, utilization of existing hydraulic models for pipe network analysis, development of level of service standards and alternative water resource configurations, evaluation and prioritization of capital improvement projects, and development of recommended CIP and Final Master Plan Report. 4.0 Suspension, Debarment or Contract Cancellation AECOM Technical Services, Inc, ("ATS") performs thousands of contracts each year. From time to time, occasions arise when ATS does not complete the performance of an awarded contract. These situations include (1) where a client terminates the contract for its convenience; e.g. where the client is unable to secure continued funding for the underlying project and, as a result, terminates the associated contract, (ii) where ATS ceases performance under the contract in accordance with the applicable terms of the contract in response to the client's nonpayment or other breach, and the contract is ultimately terminated; and (iii) where one of the contracting parties terminates the contract for default, Upon knowledge and belief, formed after reasonable inquiry, during the past three years, ATS (i) has not failed to complete a contract where the other party to such contract was not in breach unless the contract afforded ATS that right and (iil QTS ha i nt wherein that to i ately determined to be other than for convenience except in the following instances: 1) In August 2016, ATS received a letter from the Redevelopment Authority for the City of Milwaukee asserting that the Authority considered its contract with ATS terminated for cause. ATS believes the termination is unjustified and ignores relevant Project history. ATS is contesting the termination, and will actively work with the client to address the client's underlying concerns. 6.0 Code of Business Ethics A copy of AECOM's code of business ethics has been included at the end of this document.

If you find yourself in a situation in which you are unsure how to act, believe that a violation of the Code could or has occurred, or have a question about a particular issue, please seek assistance.

We believe this commitment to integrity has made our company an industry leader, and will continue to serve our growth in the years ahead. This Code of Conduct ("Code") addresses our company's professional, ethical, financial and social values. It sets forth what is expected of all AECOM employees, wherever we conduct business. Our Code also represents our commitment to our clients, shareholders, partners and the communities in which we live and work. Our Core Values are the foundation for this Code. The following principles set forth the guidelines of behavior that we must follow: – Ethical behavior is the basis for everything we do. – AECOM is committed to treating its employees fairly, and providing each of us with opportunity for advancement and growth. – Teamwork, mutual respect and trust, and open communication are the foundations of AECOM's culture. – AECOM strives to be a responsible corporate citizen in the communities in which we operate. – Meeting clients' needs is of utmost importance. – We are committed to compliance with the laws, rules and regulations applicable everywhere we conduct business. Our Code is meant to provide guidance regarding these pnnciples. However, one document cannot possibly address every law, rule, policy or scenario we may encounter in our daily work. Nor is our Code a substitute for exercising common sense and good judgment, or seeking guidance when we need it. To help you determine whether a particular action is appropriate, ask yourself the following questions: – Would my action comply with the spirit and purpose of AECOM's policies? – Would I feel comfortable about doing this, or would it violate my personal standard of conduct? – Is this action honest in all respects? How might this action affect others? Would this action embarrass me or AECOM if it became known to my clients, coworkers, professional colleagues, family or friends? If you have any questions about this Code or any doubts about a particular course of action, you should consult with Management, Human Resources or an AECOM In -House Counsel. You may also visit the Ethics and Compliance webpage on the AECOM intranet, where you can find links to AECOM's policies and procedures as well as processes and guidelines. One AECOM, One Code We all have an obligation to read, understand and follow this Code of Conduct. It applies to all AECOM employees, officers and directors, including those of our subsidiaries and joint ventures, where AECOM has the majority interest. Further, we expect that our suppliers, agents, business partners, consultants and licensees will follow similar principles. Using our Code to guide our actions allows us to preserve our reputation for doing business the right way. To this end, each of us must: – Personally abide by the Code. – Not assist others in violating the Code. -- Report any perceived violation or request that might constitute a violation, by following the procedures outlined in the "How Do I Raise Concerns?" section of this Code. – Take action as requested to remediate any potential violations or violations of the Code. – Complete training on the Code and other assigned learning in a timely manner. You are responsible for reading and understanding the Code and expected to abide by it. Violations of the Code will result in disciplinary measures, including termination of employment. AECOM also expects its consultants, subcontractors and over-third-par-ties--tabid-adhere-to-these-ethical standards as described in this Code. If you become aware of any activity involving the conduct of these individuals that violates the principles of this Code, you must disclose it to Management, Ethics and Compliance or In -House Counsel. What Laws Should I Know and Follow? AECOM is a worldwide company with operations in more than 150 countries. Laws differ among the various locations where we conduct business. Wherever we are located, we must know and follow the laws and regulations that apply to our business and the countries where we operate. Many Fortune 500 companies also have Codes of Conduct and may ask us to comply with them as part of our work. If you are ever unsure about whether a law, regulation or other obligation applies — or if there is a conflict between local law or another company's code and this Code — contact Management or In -House Counsel for additional guidance. In addition, you must abide by AECOM's internal policies, particularly the Delegations of Authority, as it is the basis for our authority to act on behalf of the company. The Delegations of Authority are available on myAECOM. 28 Code of Conduct, October 2014 2 It's Up to You to Ask Questions and Report Concerns Why Is Reporting Important? It is important to raise questions and come forward with our concerns. Doing so reinforces our commitment to act ethically in every business decision we make. Early detection also allows AECOM to address concerns before they become widespread problems, and to take corrective action if necessary. Above all, AECOM is committed to maintaining a culture where each of us feels comfortable asking questions, speaking up and working toward solutions. How Do I Raise Concerns? AECOM treats all reports confidentially to the extent our company is able to. We do so consistent with the law, company policy and the requirements for conducting a thorough investigation. Suspected violations may even be reported anonymously, where allowed by local law. To raise a concern or make a report, reach out to any of the following resources via email, phone, letter or in person: — Your supervisor or someone in Management. — An AECOM In -House Counsel. — The AECOM Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer. — Using the AECOM Hotline by calling 1-888-299-9602 (within the U.S. and Canada) or 1-770-613-6332 (outside the U.S. and Canada). Please refer to the Hotline poster in your office for the number in-your-r-egi •• • s• • •- 1611 • and Compliance webpage on the AECOM intranet for a comprehensive listing. The toll-free number is staffed by a third -party company operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with worldwide language capability. You do not have to give your name. An Interview Specialist documents your concern, assigns you a personal reference number and relays your concerns to AECOM. What Happens Next? AECOM promises to investigate all reports promptly, thoroughly and consistent with applicable law. Investigations will be kept confidential to the extent possible. If necessary, AECOM may report certain investigations to the appropriate authorities. Our company will take appropriate corrective or disciplinary action for Code violations whenever necessary. Our Comrnitment to Non -Retaliation AECOM does not tolerate acts of retaliation against anyone who makes a good faith report of a possible violation, or who participates in an investigation of possible wrongdoing. Acting in "good faith" means that you come forward with all of the information you have and believe you are giving a sincere and complete report. Simply stated, it does not matter whether your report actually uncovers unethical behavior, but you must have honest intentions in making it. At any time, you may in good faith report a suspected violation of our Code, company policy or the law without fear of retaliation or any adverse impact on your employment. Individuals who take action against a person for making a report or participating in an investigation will face disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Likewise, anyone who makes a report not in good faith will be subject to disciplinary action. Q: Paulo, an AECOM technician, witnesses his supervisor, Suzanne, being particularly harsh to a few of his colleagues. Performance has been suffering lately, and Paulo assumes Suzanne is simply frustrated with recent mistakes his team has made. However, her behavior has become more aggressive and morale on the team is low. She has recently begun berating team members to charge less time to overhead and more time to projects, even though their billable work has slowed down. Paulo feels that he should tell another member of ement about the environment Suzanne has 11.1 created, but is worried that he will be the next person she punishes. What is his best course of action? A: Paulo is right to be concerned about the hostile atmosphere his supervisor's actions have created. While Suzanne's actions may or may not be a direct violation of our Code, the result of her behavior is a problem. Paulo should take thematter to Suzanne's manager, or another resource with whom he feels comfortable, so that AECOM can investigate and resolve the issue. Paulo — and all other AECOM colleagues who make a good faith report of potential misconduct— will be protected from retaliation after making his report. Waivers In some cases, our company may waive compliance with this Code. This means that waivers to this Code may be permitted in certain instances. Such waivers will only be granted on a limited basis, and will be considered case by case. Only the Board of Directors may issue a waiver of this Code for a member of our Board or an executive officer. Any waiver of this Code for a member of our Board or an executive officer will be promptly disclosed as required by applicable law, Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations, and the New Y c I Stock Exchange (NYSE) listing standards. Code of Conduct, October 2014 3 We Rely on Our Colleagues' Respect Our Commitment to Diversity AECOM is committed to fostering a workplace where we are all treated with dignity and respect. We believe our differing backgrounds, experiences and perspectives give our company the strength we need to lead in our marketplace and reflect our commitment to diversity. For these reasons, AECOM will not tolerate discrimination or harassment in the workplace. We all have the responsibility to treat our colleagues — as well as applicants for employment — with respect and in a fair, non- discriminatory manner. AECOM offers equal employment opportunities for all applicants. This gives each of us equal consideration for employment, regardless of background. AECOM makes all decisions regarding recruitment, hiring, training, promotions, transfers and layoffs based on merit, and never on any trait protected by law. Such traits include, but are not limited to age, ancestry, color, sex, HIV status, marital status, medical condition, national origin, physical or mental disability, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and veteran and citizenship status. Maintaining a respectful workplace also means that we never engage in or tolerate any form of harassment. To be clear, "harassment" is any action that creates or seeks to create a hostile, intimidating or offensive work environment. Harassing behavior can be sexual or nonsexual in -nature. In either -case, it has no place at AECOM. Harassing conduct can include, but is not limited to: — Verbal remarks (comments, suggestions, jokes or requests for sexual favors). — Pictures (drawings, photographs or videos). — Physical behavior (suggestive looks, leering or unwelcomed touching). In any form, harassment is a violation of our Code and company policy. If you feel you or someone else is being harassed or discriminated against, report your concerns to Management, Human Resources or In -House Counsel right away. Q: Shanique is an engineer at AECOM and has recently relocated to the Middle East to work on a large project. Most of her new colleagues have been welcoming and helpful, making it easy for Shanique to settle in. However, another AECOM colleague, Bruce, has expressed exasperation with the time it is taking Shanique to adapt to her new work environment. Many times, Bruce rolls his eyes and sighs when Shanique asks him a question. Lately, Bruce has begun asking Shanique, "Don't they teach you anything in your country?" and implies that Shanique is ignorant and incompetent. When Bruce invites her colleagues to go to lunch, he does not include her. Shanique now feels so uncomfortable around Bruce that she avoids asking questions altogether, causing her work product to suffer. What can Shanique do? A: Learning to work in a new environment can be challenging— even more so when faced with impatience or hostility. Shanique, like all AECOM colleagues, deserves to work in an environment where she can be both comfortable and successful consistent with our commitment to diversity and inclusion. Bruce's behavior is depriving Shanique of that right. If Shanique feels comfortable speaking to Bruce directly, she should explain that his comments about her are hurtful, offensive and need to end. If Shanique doesn't wish to approach Bruce directly, or Bruce's behavior doesn't end, Shanique should reach out to her supervisor or Human Resources Representative for assistance. 30 Code of Conduct, October 2014 4 Keeping Our Workplace Safe Safety is an AECOM Core Value and the safety and security of our staff, our physical assets and the environment in which we operate is a shared responsibility of every AECOM employee. Each of us have both a moral and legal responsibility to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, as well as our own internal requirements, related to safety, health and environmental (SH&E) aspects of the work we perform and the facilities we control. In order to assist our staff with this responsibility we maintain SH&E management systems, programs and procedures specific to each of our businesses. In addition, we have published a global SH&E Policy Statement and SH&E Guiding Principles that apply to all of our operations. If you have any indication that we are operating outside of our established business -level programs, or outside the requirements of our global SH&E Policy and/or Guiding Principles, report your concern to Management, SH&E or In -House Counsel immediately. A safe and secure work environment is one that is also free from violence. Threatening behavior— even if meant in jest— is never permissible at AECOM. If you witness or receive a threat or act of violence, report it to Management, Human Resources or In -House Counsel immediately. If you ever face an immediate threat to your safety or that of your colleagues, contact local law enforcement immediately, and then report the incident internally. Leading with Integrity Our leaders serve as resources and role models for proper business conduct. For that reason, supervisors have additional responsibilities when it comes to upholding our Code. They are expected to promote a positive working environment where people are treated with dignity and respect and feel comfortable raising concerns. Supervisors must also make an effort to create a culture of compliance. This can be done, in part, by: — Acting as role models for Code compliance. — Fostering an environment that encourages open discussion about legal and ethical concerns. — Vigilantly preventing and detecting violations of our Code, company policy or the law. — Appropriately responding to inquiries about our Code. — Immediately notifying In -House Counsel of any matter reported to them. Ensuring training is completed•in a timely manner by all employees. Q: Li is a manager heading one of AECOM's key business initiatives. His team is preparing a bid to a new client, a government-owned company in a country where AECOM has not done major business before. At a meeting to discuss bid strategy, an Further, substance abuse compromises everyone's well-being. Drugs and alcohol negatively affect our judgment and could interfere with our ability to do our jobs safely. We are therefore prohibited from working while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This includes improperly used prescription medication that could diminish, or even raise questions concerning, our ability to perform at our best. Meeting Global Employment Standards As part of our commitment to our global community, we uphold individual human rights and follow employment laws in all the locations where we conduct business. In support of this commitment, we provide reasonable working hours and conditions. Further, AECOM has a zero tolerance policy regarding the use of forced labor or human trafficking. We will never knowingly conduct business with subcontractors, business partners, suppliers or third parties who violate these laws. If you have reason to believe AECOM is conducting business with an entity engaging in forced labor or human trafficking practices, report the misconduct to Management, Human Resources or In -House Counsel immediately. Keep in mind that our company operates in countries where we do not have a permanent presence. Because of this, supervisors should seek guidance from In -House Counsel regarding the employment law standards governing these operations. employee of another company teamed with AECOM, asks detailed questions about how AECOM will handle compliance with anti -corruption laws and sanctions for the bid. Li shuts off discussion, saying it's okay to take a few risks now and deal with "the red tape" later once we win. Is this the right response? A: No. Li should listen to the individual's concerns and ensure that his team is not pursuing a bid in a manner that could cause AECOM to jeopardize its reputation and compliance. When we are working on new projects in new areas, it is critical that we educate ourselves on the national and international restrictions that will apply. Anti -bribery laws can affect our selection of local consultants, while sanctions may restrict dealing with or transferring technology to certain entities and individuals. The Delegations of Authority set out requirements for HUB review that identify and mitigate these risks. Properly complying with these rules requires planning and oversight, but breaking them can create catastrophic risk for AECOM. 31 Code of Conduct, October 2014 5 AECOM Relies on Our Honesty Avoiding Conflicts of Interest We each have a personal stake in acting in the best interest of AECOM. To ensure our continued success, it is crucial that we avoid conflicts of interest, whether actual, potential or perceived. A "conflict of interest" occurs when we use our position at AECOM, or information we have acquired during our employment, in a way that may create a conflict between our personal interests and those of our company or its customers. In other words, if a situation arises that makes it difficult to act in an unbiased, objective manner on AECOM's behalf, a conflict of interest may be present. If a conflict of interest— or the potential for one — arises, you must disclose it to Management, Human Resources or In -House Counsel at once for review. Of course, not all possible scenarios giving rise to a conflict of interest can be listed here. However, the following examples are some of the more common conflict situations you are likely to encounter in your daily work. –Business with. Family and Friends: Our decisions about selecting suppliers, customers and other persons doing or seeking to do business with AECOM must be impartial. The sole criterion of any business decision must be whether AECOM's best interests are advanced. If a family member or close friend has an interest in a company with which we seek to conduct -b eve-yourself-frern the selection process and disclose the conflict immediately. --Corporate Opportunities: At times, we may learn of business opportunities through our employment at AECOM. We may not take personal advantage of those opportunities or refer them to a third party, unless AECOM has had a chance to evaluate the prospect and has decided not to pursue it. –Outside Employment: Being employed by or consulting with another organization could also create a conflict of interest. In general, we may not accept another job that interferes with our ability to do our work for AECOM. This means we may never conduct outside business during designated work hours or use AECOM's property, equipment or information for another business. Further, we cannot accept employment from a supplier or competitor of AECOM without an express written waiver from In -House Counsel. In any case, prior written approval from In -House Counsel is required before performing any outside work. –Investments: AECOM does not seek to control our personal financial decisions. However, some outside financial interests may improperly influence — or could be perceived by others to influence the decisions we make for AECOM. Investments in AECOM's competitors, customers, suppliers or other business partners are generally acceptable. Further, the amount of the investment must not be so significant to you that it would affect your business judgment on behalf of AECOM. If you, or a member of your household, own or seek to own any such financial interest, you must promptly disclose the matter and seek approvals from In -House Counsel. –Personal Relationships: Supervising anyone with whom you have a family or romantic relationship could give rise to the appearance of favoritism. Therefore, we should never be in a position where a personal relationship is also a reporting relationship. These personal relationships include your immediate family members (such as your spouse, children, stepchildren, parents, step-parents, siblings, in-laws and any other members of your household) as well as romantic or intimate relationships (such as a partner, fiance or fiancee, or domestic partner). If you find yourself in a position to supervise or otherwise make employment decisions regarding family or partner, disclose the situation immediately. –Serving on a Board of Directors: At times, we may seek to sit on a board of directors outside of AECOM. While impacting your community by serving on a board of directors for a non-profit organization is encouraged and does not require prior approval, you may only accept this position if it does not interfere with your ability to do your job. However, serving on the board of directors for an outside company that does business with AECOM requires advance approval. Always contact Management, Human Resources or In -House Counsel before accepting such a position, to include sitting on public commissions, or taking public service appointed positions. Remember that prompt and full disclosure is required for all circumstances that you believe might constitute, or appear to constitute, a conflict of interest. If you are unsure, seek guidance. Never engage in any conduct involving a possible or apparent conflict of interest unless you receive prior written permission from In -House Counsel. 32 Code of Conduct, October 2014 6 Q: Abdul is an accomplished civil engineer who has put in many years of design work for AECOM. As he nears retirement, Abdul is considering taking on part-time work as a design consultant. A current business partner of AECOM hears about this and immediately expresses interest in making use of Abdul's services if they will cost less than AECOM's rates. Does Abdul need to discuss this with anyone? A: Yes. While Abdul is still employed at AECOM, he must not accept work from a business partner, supplier or competitor of our Company. Doing so could create a serious conflict of interest. Additionally, depending on the type of work Abdul is performing, he must be careful not to disclose any confidential AECOM information— an obligation that applies even after his employment with AECOM ends. Before pursuing any opportunities with this business partner, Abdul must first check with Management, or In -House Counsel to ensure he is not entering into a conflict of interest situation. Avoiding Organizational Conflicts of Interest When we work with government clients, we must be particularly - � ..'.'• ... . '. . . ' - he ' Organizational conflicts of interest primarily arise as a result of the following three situations concerning AECOM's work: guidelines and restrictions for government procurement are very strict. Just as we must avoid situations that could make us biased, we must also avoid working with others who could be unable to provide a client with impartial assistance or advice. In short, we must never hire contractors whose objectivity may be impaired, or who may have an unfair competitive advantage, We should exercise common sense, good judgment and sound discretion to assess whether a significant potential conflict of interest exists and work with Management, or In -House Counsel to develop an appropriate way to resolve it. – Biased Ground Rules: Situations in which a firm, as part of fulfilling a contract, has set the ground rules for another contract, for example, by writing the statement of work or the specifications. In these "biased ground rules" cases, the primary concern is that the firm could skew the competition, whether intentionally or not, in its own favor. These situations may also involve a concern that the firm, by virtue of its special knowledge of the customer's future requirements, would have an unfair advantage in competing based on those requirements. – Impaired Objectivity: Situations where a firm's work under one contract could entail evaluating itself, either by performing an assessment of work completed under another contract or by evaluating proposals. In these "impaired objectivity" cases, the concern Is that the firm's ability to render impartial advice to the customer could appear to be undermined by its relationship with the entity whose work product is being evaluated. – Unequal Access to Information: Situations in which a firm has access to non-public information as part of its performance of a contract and where that information may provide the firm a competitive advantage in a later competition for a second contract. In these "unequal access to information" cases, the concern is limited to the risk of the firm gaining a competitive advantage; there is no issue of bias. ' 33 Code of Conduct, October 2014 7 Business Gifts and Entertainment The mutual exchange of business gifts and entertainment helps us maintain strong business relationships with those with whom we conduct business. However, conflicts can arise if such exchanges imply that favorable treatment was given or received, or if courtesies are offered to influence a business decision. For this reason, we may only exchange gifts, meals or entertainment after first consulting with In -House Counsel. In exchanging gifts, meals or entertainment, we must never offer or accept these courtesies if: – The other party is involved in an active procurement with AECOM. It is part of an agreement to do or receive anything in return, – It could influence the recipient or the recipient's organization in any business dealings. – It is cash or a cash equivalent, such as gift cards, certificates, coupons, loans, stock, stock options, etc. – It is entertainment that is sexually oriented, offensive, in poor taste or otherwise violates AECOM's commitment to mutual respect. It would violate any law, regulation, rule or the standards of the recipient's organization. – It could be construed to be a bribe or a kickback. – it might reasenably-be-interpreted-as-a-rewarder preferential treatment, actual or perceived, or as creating an obligation on the other party. It is lavish or extravagant. -- It happens on a frequent basis, Even if we give or receive gifts that meet the criteria above, we must always avoid creating even the appearance of bias. There are additional considerations and requirements that apply to giving gifts to public officials, discussed in further detail in the "Avoiding Corrupt. Practices" and "Doing Business with the Government" sections of this Code. Q: One of AECOM's vendors in the U.K. sponsors an annual golf outing for its major customers each year with all expenses paid at an exclusive resort in Scotland. Because I use this vendor's products on some of my projects at AECOM, the vendor has invited me to go. Can I accept? A: No. This creates a conflict of interest, and you should decline the invitation. Accepting the golf outing may put you in a position of obligation to the vendor. In addition, you may be viewed as accepting a gift or unusual favor because of your position at AECOM. Protecting Company Property and Data Privacy We have worked hard to acquire our valuable assets, both physical and intangible. AECOM's physical property includes its buildings, facilities, vehicles, equipment, computer systems, resources and records. We are responsible for protecting such property from loss, damage, misuse, theft and waste. We can do this by using company resources wisely and only for business purposes, It is also important to protect our intangible assets — things like our reputation and goodwill in the communities in which we operate. Such assets also include our confidential information, like business plans, intellectual property, proposals, technical innovations, designs, inventions, patents, financial information, client lists and other information we produce as part of our work for AECOM. We may never reveal our company's confidential information to any outside parties unless we are properly authorized or legally required to do so. In addition, we may not disclose such information to our colleagues who do not have a legitimate business need to know it. When you do have a business need to disclose such information to a colleague or third party, you must ensure that the appropriate confidentiality agreement is in place. Remember, the obligation to protect confidential company information continues even after your employment with AECOM ends. We also have a duty to protect employee data in accordance with applicable legal requirements. No one should access prospective, current or former employee records—such as payroll, group insurance, benefits and working files —without proper authority. If you discover or suspect the unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information, you should notify Management, or In - House Counsel of the situation immediately. In addition to protecting the confidential information of AECOM, we must also afford this same respect to the confidential information of our employees, clients, partners and other third parties. Q: May I provide the addresses of our employees to an outside organization that wants to offer them merchandise at a discount? A: No, as this would violate our privacy policy. Employee records are confidential and there is no valid business reason to provide this information. 34 Code of Conduct, October 2014 8 Using Company Computer Systems Just as we have a duty to protect our company's assets, we share an obligation to use AECOM's computer resources, networks and Internet and email systems responsibly and securely. These resources are provided for business purposes, and are intended to be used for such. While AECOM allows incidental, occasional personal use of its Internet/email system, it must be kept to a minimum and not detract from our work. You must also take care to avoid improper use such as: — Communicating inappropriate, sexually explicit or offensive statements that are not in line with our Core Values. — Viewing or sharing sexually explicit or offensive materials. — Spreading profanity, derogatory remarks, discriminating or harassing comments, or threatening or abusive language. — Downloading unlicensed or illegal material. We should never use AECOM's networks or Internet/email system to send, receive or store any messages we intend to keep private. All information, data and files belong to our company, and — to the extent permitted by applicable law -- AECOM reserves the right to monitor or disclose any messages, documents or any other files on company or client computers without notice. We are expected to be familiar with our company's information resources policies. These include, but are not limited to, policies concerning the appropriate Q: Rafaella is working on a major bid and traveled abroad with the rest of the AECOM team, preparing for a live presentation to the client at their headquarters. Everyone on the team is going to dinner at the hotel at which they are staying. Rafaella is in her hotel room working on the pricing details for the final presentation to the client. She saves her work, leaves her laptop in her room and locks the door before she goes to dinner. Has Rafaella done all she can to protect AECOM property and information? A: No. While Rafaella has the right idea — keeping information locked up and out of plain view— even secure locations aren't perfectly safe. If someone enters her room and steals her laptop or downloads her data, they could have access to many of AECOM's bid details, proprietary design materials, business plans and other private information. The best, safest option is to carry her laptop and all of its confidential contents into the restaurant with her. What may be a mild inconvenience to Rafaella now could save her and AECOM from trouble later on. distribution of email and compliance with copyright laws. AECOM understands the unique opportunity we have to engage with our stakeholders through social media. These include blogs, micro blogs (Twitter'), social networking sites (such as Facebook', Linkedin®), wikis, photo/video sharing sites and chat rooms. However, when utilizing these resources, we must keep in mind that electronic messages are permanent, transferable records of our communications. They can be altered without our consent, and can affect AECOM's reputation if released to the public. Therefore, we are expected to follow all AECOM policies and procedures when using social media and exercise good judgment and common sense. Never speak or act on our company's behalf unless authorized to do so. If you are aware of or suspect the inappropriate use of AECOM technologies or electronic communications, notify Management, Human Resources or In -House Counsel immediately. If you have any questions about who may communicate on a given issue, or whether a communication is appropriate, please see our Social Media Policy. 35 Code of Conduct, October 2014 9 The Global Marketplace Relies on Our Integrity Honesty in Everything We Do Our customer -centric ethic and mission orientation must never get in the way of complete honesty and accuracy in everything we say, do or write. Obtaining Business with Integrity In order to serve our business partners to the best of our abilities, we must always be truthful about what AECOM can and cannot achieve. Any time we discuss our capabilities, credentials, qualifications and corporate history, either verbally or in writing, we must make sure to be honest and accurate. Similarly, we will not make false statements about our competitors or their services, or use unfair practices against competitors, such as obtaining their confidential information. It is also important to keep in mind that many of our clients have strict rules about how to prepare and submit proposals to obtain their business, as well as rules for what types of information relating to a proposal we may receive from the client's personnel. Each AECOM office is responsible for obtaining and maintaining copies of relevant rules, and we must make sure that we know and follow the rules that apply to our work. Q. A long-standing and important client of AECOM has asked me to certify that improvements have been made to their health and safety system as part of obtaining a government permit. The improvements are in the process of being made, but would not be completed by the time of the certification. Can I do this? A: No. If the improvements have not been made fully and completely at the time of the certification, you cannot certify that they have been made. Government and other entities rely upon certifications and representations we make as part of permitting and other approvals. False certifications or representations directly violate AECOM's commitment to integrity. Competing Fairly Because AECOM competes based on the quality of our products and services, we are committed to promoting fair competition at all times. We must never engage in or support unfair or predatory business practices or any activities that would improperly restrain trade. Similarly, it is critical that we abstain from any activity that may violate or give the appearance of violating competition laws. While competition laws vary between the different countries where we conduct business, these types of conduct are generally prohibited: – Agreeing on the prices, terms or conditions of sale for competing services or products. – Dividing or allocating customers, bids, markets or territories for competing services or products. – Agreeing to refuse to do business with particular third parties. These rules apply to informal understandings as well as to formal agreements. In order to make sure that we are competing fairly, we should refrain from discussing any of these activities with our competitors — or from discussing any other matters that could be seen as an attempt to limit competition. Behavior that violates these rules should be reported. Handling Competitive Information In order to maintain our market position, we may sometimes need information about our competitors. We may use publicly available information, but must always make sure that we only acquire information about our competitors in a legal, ethical and responsible manner. For example, we must never pressure anyone to breach a confidentiality agreement, such as by asking a colleague to reveal confidential information about a previous employer. We also should never attempt to gather information about our competitors through deceptive or misleading actions. If confidential information about a competitor is deliberately or inadvertently disclosed to you, discuss the issue with In -House Counsel, and do not use it without express permission from In - House Counsel. Q: I am submitting a proposal and a friend at the client organization has offered to share information about the client's selection criteria. May I receive it? A: No, unless doing so is consistent with the client's rules. Typically, such rules would require the individual to obtain appropriate authorization to provide this information and that the information is being made available to all who are submitting proposals on the job. In some cases, accepting or reviewing such information can invalidate our bid. You should consult with your In -House Counsel before accepting any such selection criteria or similar information. 36 Code of Conduct, October 2014 10 Avoiding Corrupt Practices AECOM is proud of the work we do throughout the world. We believe that our ability to continue to foster good working relationships with companies, communities and governments around the world depends on acting ethically in all our business dealings. This means we never give, offer or accept improper payments in any form. Numerous countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Russia and other countries in which we conduct business, have enacted laws that strictly prohibit the giving, receiving, offering or soliciting of bribes, kickbacks or other improper payments to government officials. A "bribe" is anything of value given in an attempt to influence an official's actions or decisions, obtain or retain business, or acquire any sort of improper advantage (such as obtaining information that is normally unavailable or being allowed to submit a late bid or proposal). To be clear, " government officials" include federal, state, provincial or local government employees, political candidates and even employees of businesses that are owned by a government. At AECOM, we also prohibit acts of "commercial bribery," or offering or accepting a bribe to or from our customers, suppliers or anyone working on their behalf with the intent of otj.taining or retaining -business Similarly, we must never offer or accept a "kickback," which is the return of a sum already paid (or due to be paid) as a reward for making or fostering business arrangements. We may not retain a third party or enter into a joint venture or other business association to engage in any activity that we are prohibited from participating in ourselves. Anti -corruption laws also address facilitating payments. "Facilitating payments" are small, infrequent payments made to a government official to expedite the performance of routine government actions such as issuing visas and work permits, However, these payments are prohibited in many countries. Our company does not permit facilitating payments except in cases of clear and present danger when they are necessary to prevent immediate harm to employees. In such instances, it may not be possible to consult with In -House Counsel. Any such payments must be accurately reported to In -House Counsel immediately to ensure accurate books and records. Any exceptions to this policy must be pre -approved by the Office of Ethics & Compliance in writing. Anti -corruption laws are complex, and the consequences for violating these laws are severe. Remember never to give anything of value, even something you think is nominal, to a government official without first receiving permission from In - House Counsel. Additionally, you must report any requests made by a foreign government official for money or anything of value. Q: Julio, an AECOM employee in Latin America, was told that he could hire a consultant to acquire all of the necessary permits AECOM needs from a foreign government to start a new project. However, the consultant requested a U.S. $25,000 retainer and said that he would use the money to "speed up the process." Since Julio doesn't know where the money is going, and isn't the one using it, does he need to say anything? A: Yes. Julio must know where that money is going and for what purpose it is being used and the qualifications and reputation of the consultant. Moreover, he is required to take steps to ensure that this money is not used as a bribe. Julio must seek the advice of Management and In -House Counsel and comply with the Delegations of Authority before proceeding with this consultant. Conducting International Business With operations throughout the world, AECOM is truly a global company. For this reason, it is critical that all of our activities fully comply with the export control laws and regulations of the United States, the United Kingdom and other jurisdictions where we do business. Laws governing trade are complex, but if we do not follow them, we risk losing our ability to conduct business internationally. An "export" occurs when a product, service, technology or piece of information is shipped to a person in another country. In the U.S., an export can also occur when technology, technical information or software is provided in any way (including verbally, in the case of information) to a non -U.S. citizen, regardless of where that person is located. In this regard, an "export" of technical data can occur during meetings, telephone conversations and facilities inspections and by memoranda, letters, faxes, email and other written materials. 37 Code of Conduct, October 2014 11 Other examples of items controlled by host country laws that may require an export license or a re -importation license include: — Computer software containing certain encryption or performance standards. — Military products, technology or know-how. Any materials considered classified for purposes of national security by the United States or other government. If your job involves any of the following responsibilities, you have an obligation to ensure that you are aware of and comply with the laws that pertain to our international trading activity: — Accepting or processing client contracts and orders. — Authorizing or processing the international movement of goods or technology. — The performance of defense services. — Any other activity that affects AECOM's compliance with export control laws. If you have any questions regarding export controls, you should seek guidance from the Ethics and Compliance Office. International Sanctions Many countries where we conduct business sometimes impose sanctions, or adhere to s organizations such as the United Nations or the European Union, that restrict or prohibit dealings with certain countries or individuals. Because AECOM is a U.S. corporation, we must all adhere to the economic sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), which include, but are not limited to, restrictions on financial transactions, travel, and imports and exports. We also adhere to those imposed by other countries and multi -lateral institutions such as the European Union or World Bank. Make sure you understand the most up- to-date regulations if you handle international business. •• .... -. . .. 111 . * International sanctions may also apply to activities such as providing services and exporting sensitive technology. Because each sanctions program is based on different foreign policy and national security objectives, the prohibitions vary between programs. Please check with In -House Counsel or Ethics and Compliance regarding such requirements. Boycott Requests Due to our global operations, we must also be alert for illegal boycott requests. U.S. law prohibits us from cooperating with unsanctioned boycotts, regardless of where we are located, This applies to boycotted companies as well as boycotted countries and their nationals. We must take care that nothing we do or say could be seen as participating in an illegal boycott. For example, we may not certify that an entity is not blacklisted, or provide information on a company's activities with a boycotted entity. Our company must report any boycott requests to the U.S. government. Therefore, If you believe you have received a boycott request or have any questions about boycott activities, it is crucial that you notify In -House Counsel. Doing Business with the Government When AECOM works with government customers, we are able to act as agents of change around the world. However, if we are involved in either securing or carrying out a government contract, our success depends on our compliance with additional laws and regulations. The laws and rules we must follow when we work with our government customers are considerably stricter than those that apply to our commercial contracts. It is imperative that those of us involved in this area of AECOM's business are familiar with and comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and procedures for government contracting. While various jurisdictions around the world have many detailed rules for iP , these standa i. -.. i ... applicable at AECOM: — Never misstate, mischaracterize or omit any material information in connection with any communication with the government. — Take great care in preparing and maintaining records for and allocating costs to government contracts. — Be particularly mindful of laws, regulations and client rules governing gifts and entertainment given or offered to government employees. The overarching principle to keep in mind when working on government contracts, as with all contracts, is to act with honesty and integrity. It is also critically important to protect any government -classified information we acquire in connection with our work. We must limit this information to coworkers who hold the appropriate government clearance and have a business need to know the information. If you have questions or concerns about the laws and rules that govern our interactions with government customers, contact In -House Counsel. 38 Code of Conduct, October 2014 12 In addition, many locations where AECOM conducts business have strict rules about hiring — or attempting to hire or discussing the hiring of— employees of government agencies. Even if permitted by law or regulation, making an offer to any official of or advisor for a government agency with which AECOM is doing business can raise ethical or regulatory issues. To ensure that we do not breach these rules, we may not discuss hiring public sector employees unless we have the written approval of In -House Counsel in advance. Gifts and Entertainment for Government Officials Additionally, the rules surrounding gifts and entertainment are much stricter for our government clients, regulators and other officials than for our commercial partners. Some countries such as Kuwait, prohibit government officials from accepting any gifts or meals. Others set limits on the amount and frequency. Commercial companies are also setting limits on what their employees can accept. Be sure that you are aware of and comply with those standards. For example, the U.S. federal government has particularly restrictive rules and regulations for what meals, entertainment, gifts and other business courtesies their employees may accept, State and local governments and agencies have similar prohibitions. AECOM's policy is that those of us who work in • _ rk for U S sPctnr clients may not: • — Offer or exchange gifts, gratuities or favors with public sector employees. Pay for any meals, entertainment, travel or other expenses for public sector employees. — Provide any other items or services of value outside what is required under the contract with the client. Collectively, the items in the above list are known as"gifts and gratuities." The only exception to this policy, whether in the U,S. or otherwise, is if In -House Counsel has advised you in writing (which may be via email) that the proposed gift and gratuity is permitted under applicable local laws, rules or regulations. In -House Counsel can also help you determine if gifts and entertainment for commercial clients is appropriate. Please contact In -House Counsel for guidance in your region. Q: Deepak is working closely with a government employee, Elba, on a contract. Next week, he'll be traveling to Elba's offices so that she can update him on the project and discuss next steps. Deepak also knows that AECOM has submitted a bid for another project and Elba is one of the officials evaluating the bid. Deepak would like to take Elba to lunch while he is visiting as a business courtesy. Is it okay to take her out to lunch? A: The rules governing the types of gifts and entertainment we can offer government employees are much stricter than those governing our interactions with commercial contacts. Since Elba is involved in evaluating a bid from AECOM, taking her to lunch could raise questions under the U.K. Bribery Act and may violate local laws. Deepak must check with In -House Counsel to evaluate whether this is permissible or wise. 39 Code of Conduct, October 2014 13 Our Shareholders, Business Partners and Customers Rely on Our Excellence Providing Quality Products and Services The foundation ofAECOM's reputation is the high quality of the products and services we provide. In order to keep our standards high, we must each comply with all quality control procedures and follow contract specifications at all times. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the standards and specifications that apply to the projects you work on. We must each be aware of and follow these company policies and procedures designed to protect the quality and safety of our products. For guidance, consult Management, Human Resources or In -House Counsel. Raise any quality or safety issues you spot with your supervisor immediately. We further guarantee quality services to our customers through proper supply chain due diligence, monitoring and enforcement. AECOM takes great care in choosing our suppliers, contractors, agents, consultants and other business partners. We aim to do business only with companies that match our high standards of ethical business conduct. Ultimately, our goal is for all of our business partners to comply with our Code and operate in an ethical and lawful manner. For these reasons, we conduct due diligence when selecting our suppliers and other business partners. We firmly hold our suppliers accountable for assuring the quality of the goods and services they provide us. If you have reason to believe that a supplier has failed to prnvida riitality prndunts and/nr servirps rnntact Management, Human Resources or In -House Counsel immediately. Charging Time Each of us has a responsibility to ensure that our weekly time reports accurately reflect the hours worked on a specific work order or project. Time worked on a project must be charged to that project and no other. Government regulations and many clients' contracts also mandate complete and accurate records. All employees are required to complete time sheets in accordance with the requirements established by Company policies. Supervisors are responsible for insuring that the timesheets they approve are accurate and reflect the hours worked by the employees who report to them. Mischarging time is a serious offense which can subject AECOM and the responsible individual to criminal and civil liability. If anyone directs or suggests that time be charged in a manner other than in accordance with this policy, it is the responsibility of the employee to inform In -House Counsel Immediately. Q: Right now I don't have any client work to do, but am concerned that my job may be at risk if I charge too much time to overhead. Is it okay to put time down on a fixed price contract, since it won't hurt the customer? A: No. In all situations, regardless of anything else, amen tjmi' mnct hp rhargad arcurafely Licensing We are responsible for maintaining appropriate licenses. Our Company is committed to providing professional services only in jurisdictions where we are licensed to do so, unless otherwise exempted by applicable law. We must inform In - House Counsel in a timely manner if there is any change to the status of our individual licensing, including circumstances where we are qualifiers on our corporate licenses. Furthermore, we will represent our credentials in a forthright way. Q: We have been asked to submit a proposal for a project in a jurisdiction where AECOM has never worked before. How do I know if we are licensed in a particular jurisdiction? A: Check with In -House Counsel or the Corporate Secretary. They maintain the licenses and registrations. 40 Code of Conduct, October 2014 14 Accurate Books and Records We must each do our part to make certain that the financial documents our company discloses to the public are accurate and honest. Even if maintaining financial data is not your primary job duty, each of us contributes to record keeping in some form, such as by completing timecards, submitting travel and expense reports or keeping safety records. The information we record gives our outside stakeholders an accurate view of our operations and allows our company to make well-informed business decisions. Therefore, every piece of information that we submit in company records of any kind must be absolutely honest, accurate and complete. Each of us is responsible for knowing and following AECOM's internal controls and any applicable accounting requirements when recording this data. We also must submit appropriate contract documentation at all times. Our commitment to ethical business conduct requires our business transactions to be authorized and legitimate. To be clear, we may not engage in any of the following activities: — Making false representations on behalf of our company, either verbally or in writing. — Hiding company funds. — Mischaracterizing company transactions. — Creating undisclosed or unrecorded fund accounts. Knowingly allowing similar illegal activities to occur. Make sure you know and follow the records management policies and retention schedules that apply to your work and your location. These documents will tell you how long you should maintain business records, and procedures for compliance with legal holds. (A legal hold applies to records connected with actual or anticipated litigation.) If you believe that anyone has improperly concealed, altered or destroyed a record, you should report it to In -House Counsel. For more information, please refer to our Electronic Communications Policy. Audits and Investigations During your employment, company or government official may ask you to take part in an audit or investigation of AECOM or certain employees. It is important to cooperate with such a request, but if a government official requests information or documentation, contact In -House Counsel before providing any records. As with all our activities, we must be forthright when we deal with audits or investigations. At no time may we conceal, alter or destroy any requested records. In addition, we must never attempt to exert improper influence on the results of an investigation or audit. If you notice any accounting or auditing irregularities, or incidents of fraud by individuals responsible for our company's accounting or financial reporting, you should report your observation to Management, Human Resources or In -House Counsel. Please keep in mind that you will be protected from any retaliation that results from a good faith report. Record Retention Keeping our records in order helps us to build trust with our clients, regulators and shareholders. This commitment applies to both paper and electronic documents, including files such as email and images. In short, we must take care with all the records we create, receive or maintain in order to do our jobs. Effectively managing these records allows us to ensure they are available when needed. In addition, it helps us comply with all applicable laws and regulations and preserve any documents that may become relevant in audits, investigations or litigation. Q. Alberto is a financial controller who learns that his AECOM business unit is going to be reviewed by Audit Services for the first time biiI .e it vvdb d yeas ayo. He be..omes upset and defensive when the audit team reviews expense report reimbursements and petty cash processes and asks him questions about some of the payments. He tells his supervisor that the auditors are not treating him with respect and do not understand the local culture by questioning his work. How should his supervisor respond? A: Alberto needs to appreciate that audit is one of the key means by which AECOM meets its responsibilities to its shareholders, management and employees as a public company. The company relies on accurate and complete records as the basis of our financial system and in order to access capital markets. All of us have a duty to cooperate fully and completely with audits and investigations and integrate any lessons learned as a result into our work. 41 Code of Conduct, October 2014 15 Financial Integrity Protecting Inside Information In our work for AECOM, we sometimes have access to information about our company and our business partners that is not available to the general public. In order to avoid unfair and illegal transactions, we must never buy or sell the stock of any company (including AECOM) about which we possess inside information. For information to be considered "inside," it must be both material (meaning that it would affect the decisions of a reasonable investor) and non-public (meaning that it has not been released to the public). Information becomes public only after two full trading days have passed since the public release of the information. Inside information can be either positive or negative, and commonly includes the following examples: ® Projections of future earnings or losses. -- News of a pending or proposed merger. — News of a significant sale of assets. — Declaration of a stock split or offering of additional securities. Changes in executive management. — Significant new products or discoveries. If you have any questions as to whether the information you possess qualifies as inside information, plPasa rnnsult our Insider Trading Policy or contact In -House Counsel. Additional Expectations Certain company officers and the directors of AECOM have a special responsibility to promote integrity within our company. Their role requires them to ensure that our company's public disclosures are accurate and complete. In order to do so, these individuals are required to know and understand the financial disclosure laws that apply to their work. Violations of financial disclosure laws will be viewed as a severe offense that may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination. This includes failing to report potential violations by others. If you believe that a violation has occurred, contact Management, Human Resources or In -House Counsel. If you prefer to report on an anonymous basis, where allowed by law, you may submit a report by calling the AECOM hotline. Keep in mind, however, that it is against company policy to retaliate against anyone who makes a good faith report of violations. Preventing Money Laundering AECOM is committed to helping in the global fight against money laundering. "Money laundering" is the process by which a person or group tries to conceal illegal funds or attempts to make the sources of their illicit funds look legitimate. In order to keep AECOM from becoming inadvertently involved in this type of misconduct, we should always perform due diligence on customers, suppliers, intermediaries and other business partners who wish to conduct business with our company. Look out for "red flags" that may signal money laundering activities. For example, make sure that the party with whom you are conducting business maintains a physical presence, is engaged in legitimate business and has proper compliance processes in place. If you need more information about how to identify money laundering, you should consult In -House Counsel. 42 Code of Conduct, October 2014 16 Our Communities Rely on Our Integrity & Innovation Environmental Sustainability As good corporate citizens, we comply with all environmental laws, rules and regulations in effect wherever we conduct business. We strive to be a leader in environmental stewardship, and look to exceed these rules whenever possible. To this end, we constantly strive to maximize the efficient use of natural resources in our workplaces and reduce our environmental footprint. We also account for these considerations when we design our business products and processes. You are encouraged to submit your suggestions and ideas on bringing our practices closer to these goals to Management, Human Resources or In -House Counsel. Political and Charitable Contributions Although AECOM encourages us to participate in political and charitable activities, this must always be on our own time and at our own expense. We must never attribute our personal activities (such as campaign work, fundraising or speech making) to AECOM. Similarly, we may never use AECOM resources (such as funds, facilities or supplies) in connection with our personal political or charitable activities, and should never expect AECOM to reimburse us for any political contributions or other expenses. We should be prepared to report any political contributions if required to do so in accordance with applicable law. Responding to Media Inquiries Providing our communities with an accurate picture of our operations, transactions and intentions helps us to preserve AECOM's integrity. In order to do this, we need to make sure that our company speaks with one consistent voice. Therefore, only those who have been designated to communicate on AECOM's behalf should make public statements about our company. For example, if a member of the media contacts you for any reason, you should refer the request to Corporate Communications, Similarly, requests for financial and legal information must always be directed to the appropriate channel. If an investor, security analyst or other key public contact contacts you to request information, even if the request is informal, please refer them to Corporate Communications. Inquiries from government officials or attorneys should be referred to In -House Counsel. For more information, please see our External Communications Policy. 43 Code of Conduct, October 2014 17 It's Up to You AECOM's reputation and success as a good corporate citizen of the world depend upon each of us meeting our obligations under this Code.

("ATS") has reviewed the City's Request for Qualifications to provide Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater Systems Projects (RFQ 2017 -129 -KB) and has identified the following specific terms that ATS will want to negotiate prior to signing a contract with the City. ATS believes it has captured the most significant issues; however, final review and negotiations of the Agreement may identify other terms that require modification to properly interface with the terms negotiated below, or otherwise. As a result, we have prepared the following general comments. General Terms and Conditions (Section 0200) Article 29 — ATS agrees to indemnify the City, its officers, employees and designated agents for liabilities related to copyright and patent claims but does not believe the indemnity should extend to third parties unrelated to the contract (i.e. City Contractors). Article 40 — Any professional indemnity related to this pursuit should be consistent with Florida Statute 725.08: "Consultant shall indemnify and hold harmless the City, and its officers and employees, from liabilities, damages, losses, and costs, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentionally wrongful conduct of the Consultant and other persons employed or utilized by the Consultant in the performance of the Agreement." Special Conditions (Appendix D) Article 12 — Sample contract is intended to be task order driven without a fully determined scope at this time, therefore, we believe additional terms and/or conditions may be warranted once tasks are defined. Sample Contract (Appendix F) Article 2.4 — Current provision may equate to an elevated standard of care, therefore, ATS requests a clear standard of care be inserted into contract similar to the following: "Consultant will perform the services in accordance with standard industry practices, with the care, knowledge and skill expected of similar engineering firms. No other warranties, express or implied are made or intended." in lieu of Article 2.4 of the sample contract. Article 2.10 - Request provision is revised to be consistent above, similar to: "Consultant shall be responsible for its defective Services and will re -perform any non -confirming design work that fails to meet the applicable professional standard of care." Article 11- With respect to the insurance requirements, we would be pleased to provide insurance consistent with the limits indicated including General Liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence/aggregate and Professional Liability of $1,000,000 per claim/aggregate; however, our ability to remain competitive in the industry requires that our policies remain confidential. Therefore, we request the deletion of the provision to provide copies of insurance policies. If awarded the Project, we will work with the City to allay any concerns the City may have with respect to our insurance coverage. Article 12.1—The first paragraph of this provision is consistent with Florida Statute; however, paragraph two expands upon the indemnification for professional services. As such, we request deletion of said paragraph. Additionally we request inclusion of Statute 558.0035 in the resultant contract document. Article 13.1— We agree to be responsible for performance of our Services, consistent with the standard of care and any direct damages caused to the City due to errors and omissions but do not believe indirect damages should apply. We request modification of this provision in which each party waives, on a reciprocal basis, the right to recover any consequential, indirect, incidental, special and related damages, similar to: "Neither party to this Agreement shall be liable to the other party or any third party claiming through the other respective party, for any special, punitive, liquidated, incidental, delay, indirect or consequential damages of any kind including but not limited to lost profits or loss of use, loss of access, that may result from this Agreement, or out of any goods or services furnished hereunder. Article 14 — Request a mutual limitation of liability not to exceed the total contract value paid to Consultant. Article 16.10.1- ATS would be providing professional services. As such, we do not control all conditions and components of the project and we are not able to either predict everything or ensure that absolutely no errors or omissions will be made. We follow the (fully executed and known) contract documents, specifications and codes. ATS employs staff that is appropriately educated and trained and we monitor their work through rigorous quality control procedures, based on ISO and reasonable quality standards. However, we cannot guaranty fitness for purpose nor particular outcome/performance. As is typical in our industry, such contractual guarantees are excluded from our primary insurance coverage (covering professional errors and omissions). 47 City of Miami Beach Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater System Protects.

New Technology - The application of new pipeline technologies to our clients' projects has been a hallmark of AECOM's professional practice. Thorough research and analysis allow us to apply new technologies with the same level of confidence as if we were relying on tried-and-true materials and techniques. For example, we have specified the use of fiberglass pipe on several major projects up to 48 inches in diameter as well as near -record Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) to cross major water bodies. In addition, AECOM is at the forefront of pipeline rehabilitation technologies, fortified with advanced engineering analytic techniques including Remote Field Eddy Current analysis of Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe. Thorough Design Approach - Our approach is to make appropriate material selections after comprehensive hydraulic analyses establish the design envelope. We engineer multiple pipeline material alternatives when practical on as equal of a basis as is possible; this results in competitive bids and significantly reduced overall project costs. Our engineers have an eye for detail and catch items often overlooked, providing long-term value to the clients. AECOM's pipeline experts specialize in the intricacies of designing major and minor transmission and distribution mains. Our expertise in sewer lines includes rehabilitation as an answer to aging and deteriorated pipe sections. AECOM experts have assessed the conditions of hundreds of miles of sewer pipe and, where necessary, produced designs for rehabilitation with approaches such as sliplining, pipe -bursting, and cured -in-place "lining". In cases where gravity pipeline is insufficient, our team has considerable experience in designing lift stations to help -AECOM convey sewage to a treatment facility. AECOM is currently working on a Wastewater Basin Analysis program for MPS Basin 306 in Collier County. The Basin 306 program includes construction on over 17,000 linear feet of 24 -inch and 30 -inch HDPE pipe. The pipeline includes several horizontal directional drill segments and portions of the alignment along US 41. AECOM also recently completed a septic tank replacement program, which included a new wastewater collection and conveyance system for creation of 14 sewer districts in Marco Island. The total construction cost for the project is $66 Million and was completed in 2013. Water & Wastewater Pump Station Design and Hydraulic Modeling Pump Station Design Collection system projects have included gravity, low pressure and vacuum sewers. We have extensive experience with the evaluation of alternatives to convert areas currently served with septic tanks to central sewers. Our lift station projects have ranged from the smallest of residential stations to large master stations with capacities up to 50-mgd. The lift stations have used submersible pumps as well as the most complicated wet Well/dry well configurations with extended motor/pump shafts. These facilities often employ various ancillary equipment such as variable speed drives, odor control, emergency power and SCADA. AECOM's design capabilities for pump stations entail civil, electrical, mechanical, and structural Angineering: instrumentation and controls; and architecture. Our designers have completed the design on hundreds of pump stations in Florida and across the nation, both large and small, including wastewater, potable water and stormwater facilities. AECOM is currently working on a Wastewater Basin Analyses Program for MPS 306 in Collier County. The Basin 306 Program includes upgrades of three master pump stations and 27 duplex pump stations. AECOM's procedures on pump station hydraulics and our in-house design experts are well-known throughout Florida. Our staff gave a presentation on state-of-the-art pump station design at the 2013 Water & Wastewater Exposition in Fort Myers. Water Pumping Stations - AECOM's design capabilities for pump stations entail civil, electrical, mechanical, and structural engineering; instrumentation and controls; and architecture.

AECOM recently completed the planning, design and construction of two 2.5 MG ground storage tanks for the City of Hollywood. Electrical Engineering — AECOM has provided electrical engineering services to public and private clients throughout Florida for more than 80 years. Under its Public Utilities business line, AECOM provides a full range of comprehensive electrical design services related to water and wastewater facilities, including medium and low - voltage power distribution systems, standby power systems, motor control centers, lighting, lightning protection and grounding, instrumentation and control, security and fire alarm systems, and assessment of existing electrical facilities. AECOM has five electrical engineers within Florida that have the experience and expertise for all of the electrical engineering services required under this contract. Among the electrical engineering services provided by AECOM's utilities group are load calculations; short circuit, protective device coordination and arc flash studies; harmonics analyses; voltage drop calculations; standby generator sizing; motor control; feeder, raceway and transformer sizing; cost estimating; and construction phase services. We have expertise in designing electrical • Coordinate with the power company to determine existing demand loads and to make sure there are no features, constraints, or other issues that might influence the proposed improvements. • Develop a detailed phasing plan that will minimize downtime and keep system operational during construction. • Prepare contract documents consisting of drawings and technical specifications, including power, controls, lighting, grounding, lightning protection, fire alarm, security, and communications systems. • Prepare an opinion of probable construction cost for the electrical work. • During the construction phase, review contractor submittals for electrical equipment and answer contractor's requests for information. • Provide construction observation and witness testing of conductors, grounding, and electrical equipment. SCADA/Instrumentation - Similar to the above, AECOM routinely designs instrumentation and control (I&C) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems on many of its projects. Process controls are part of most public utility infrastructure projects that we do, from simple pumping stations to large treatment plants. Instrumentation acts as a facilitator to integrate the process need with the mechanical equipment and the power distribution and communications systems so that all unit processes work in harmony. We have designed and commissioned small water and wastewater pumping stations, PC/PLC based control systems and large systems for new facilities from the utility transformers and standby generators to the main switchgear, transformers, and motor control centers, down to the end-use equipment. We also have expertise in renovations and expansions of existing facilities. AECOM provides cost-effective solutions to improve safety and reliability by replacing defective or obsolete equipment, correcting deficiencies, and coordinating breaker and protective relay settings. We are fully committed to customer involvement early in the design process to tailor the electrical system design to your exact needs and specifications. We are well versed in NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) and NFPA 820 (Standard for Fire Protection in Wastewater Treatment and Collection Facilities), and make certain that all design aspects of projects are code compliant. Some of the services our group provides throughout a project's duration including the following: AECOM distributed control systems for projects throughout the nation and globally. AECOM process control designs have also included SCADA for dozens of water and wastewater treatment plants. We differentiate SCADA systems from plant control systems as SCADA monitors and reports the operating state of remote facilities to a monitoring center while a control system provides unit process control within a water or wastewater treatment facility. The SCADA system typically includes the monitoring of a plant control system from a central location. On the recently completed Davie WRF project, AECOM provided 100 percent of the l&C design for this complex facility, Hydraulic Modeling Hydraulic Modeling - AECOM has an integrated group of hydraulic modeling specialists and engineers who collaborate on a national and regional (Florida) basis to discuss emerging technologies and address project technical challenges. We specialize not only in steady- state hydraulic models, but also in extended period 51 City of Miami Beach Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater System Projects RFP 2017-129KB simulation, water quality modeling, surge analysis, transient analysis, asset management approaches to sewer pipe and water main rehabilitation and prioritization, inflow and infiltration assessments, computational fluid dynamics, and on-site modeling training for clients. We take great pride in our model calibration processes and believe that a model has little value if not properly calibrated. Calibration is achieved through extensive field testing, and/or use of SCADA and historical data. We have engineers who are competent with most commercially available modeling software, including WaterGEMS and SewerGEMS. Hydraulic Modeling for Reducing Water Age in Potable Systems - Water age impacts the quality of water from the time it is treated to when it is ultimately delivered to the customer. Many water quality problems result from interactions between water within the pipe and the pipe wall, and within the bulk water. As water age increases, chemical and/ or biological reactions occur allowing for water quality degradation within the distribution system. Excessive water age is manifested in numerous ways. If the water travels a long time from the treatment plant to the consumer, the residual disinfectant concentration may decrease as chlorine or monochloramine reacts with organic material in the water and on the pipe walls. Further, potentially harmful byproducts may be formed as the decaying disinfectant residual reacts with organic matter in the bulk water. Typical problems associated with excessive water age include: • Reduced microbial inactivation at suppressed disinfectant residual levels. •—Corr-osion-duete-changes-in-pH -particularly in poorly buffered water. • Bacterial oxidization of nitrogen compounds (free ammonia from chloramination) to form nitrite and nitrate. • Areas of low or stagnant flow providing more favorable conditions for microbial accumulation or growth compared to well circulated areas. Hydraulic models are invaluable tools for identifying and correcting water age problems in a potable water distribution system. Models can calculate water age for existing conditions and can also predict water age for any other operating condition. The use of "what if" scenarios allow for trial and error testing of methods of reducing water age without subjecting the utility and its customers to methods with limited benefit. Water age analysis is most useful when evaluated with extended period simulations, particularly those long enough for water to travel from sources to extremities so that age predictions equilibrate with repeatable diurnal AECOM patterns. Water age simulations are also used as surrogates for more complex evaluations of the chemical reactions occurring in the system. EPA has allowed water age modeling to be used in determining sampling locations for the new Stage II Disinfection Byproduct Rule through system specific models. AECOM is a pioneer in all types of water quality modeling. Any project involving addition of storage will include water age analyses. We have completed projects where the fate of chlorine residual was modeled in Cleveland, Ohio; Meriden, Connecticut; Franklin, Tennessee; and Pinellas County, Florida. We have also prepared simulations of disinfection byproducts. Integration with GIS - AECOM has extensive experience in integrating existing data sources such as GIS, billing records, and digital terrain models into potable water system and wastewater collection and conveyance system hydraulic models. AECOM created water and wastewater system models for the Miami -Dade Water and Sewerage Department by integrating their existing GIS and other data sources into the model. This model is one of the largest wastewater system models in North America. As in Miami, AECOM typically uses a direct one to one integration with the GIS to allow easy transfer of data. Hydraulic Model Training - AECOM has extensive experience in training utility staff on the use and maintenance of hydraulic models. AECOM has developed an approach to training that focuses on the specific needs of a utility. Our training has included detailed three day training programs covering the full range of modeling topics to brief training on a specific topic. In all cases the training materials are developed specifically to meet the needs of our client, unlike many generic training programs that utility staff has trouble relating too. Hydraulic Water Model Maintenance - A critical issue with a hydraulic model is the need to ensure that it is maintained and updated as changes are made to the system. Many utilities struggle with this and benefit from the process and procedures that AECOM has developed. A successful approach that AECOM has used to help utilities, including Miami and Milwaukee, is the development of a flow chart identifying the steps and who is responsible for transferring the information into the model and how often this should be completed. In addition, many utilities-ask-AECOM to -update (and—.-----. sometimes recalibrate) the model. AECOM believes that the utility staff is the most appropriate to update and maintain the model due to their local knowledge and often are more efficient than using an external firm. However, we recognize time commitments sometime prevent this. 52 City of Miami Beach Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater System Projects RFP 2017-129KB AECOM follows the procedures developed for updating the model and ensure that full documentation is provided. Corrosion Control and Corrosion Remediation Corrosion protection and/or control is a cost-effective and energy saving methods due to the significant benefits which include; reduction of contaminants to the public, extending the useful life of water mains and reducing water losses through leaking or broken mains. Corrosion protection by painting, coating, proper maintenance of the cathodic protection system, and continuous feeding of corrosion inhibitors are the major task of utility operations personnel. It is also a major design consideration for the AECOM. We will undertake an evaluation of the utility systems to determine areas where corrosion is extensive (physical inspection and by performing a coupon test for verification) and determine the cause. Metals tend to have specific characteristics and interactions between them causing corrosion. However, when a metal surface has deposits of debris, or when lime particles create non- aerated zones beneath the deposits, corrosion begins in these anodic regions. Furthermore, if bacteria are growing under the deposits, they create an oxygen deficient condition that intensifies the corrosion, and will even corrode stainless steel. Secondary factors that will influence corrosion are the concentration of dissolved salts/metals in the water, level of dissolved gases, water temperature, stress corrosion, fatigue, and erosion/abrasion. Degradation of concrete structures is attributed to the corrosion occurring in the reinforcing steel within the concrete structures due to the wearing and formation of cracks in concrete. These can be attributed to physical causes, chemical attacks, and bacterial actions. AECOM understands corrosion problems exist, and will address these with high importance. We will include the following 5 steps for corrosion control of metals in the evaluation of existing structures and proposed structures: 1. Selection of construction materials, coatings/linings, and insulation 2. Application of corrosion inhibitors 3. Installation of cathodic protection system 4. Installation of sacrificial anodes 5. pH control by alkali chemicals --AECOM Additional Capabilities to Support As- Needed Services AECOM is a multidisciplinary Water and Wastewater engineering services firm with the comprehensive capabilities to support the needs of the City of Miami Beach. The following section includes our additional water and wastewater planning and design capabilities which will be made available as -needed to the City during the term of this contract: Stormwater / Surface Water Management AECOM has extensive experience helping communities across the country solve a vast array of stormwater issues. From a simple review of municipal stormwater management practices to the development and implementation of stormwater utilities, AECOM's experience encompasses the full spectrum of services. AECOM has always used advanced technologies to identify and implement innovative, progressive solutions to drainage problems. We keep abreast of water -related rules and regulations at the local, regional, and federal level. Stormwater is fast becoming one of the major priorities for communities in Florida, and AECOM can provide expertise to clients in the following areas: • Stormwater utility consulting • Preparation of Stormwater Master Plans • Stormwater and watershed modeling • Design of stormwater management and treatment structures, pumps, and piping systems • Design of stormwater collection systems and engineering analyses of drainage basins • Preparation of permit applications and reports, and agency coordination • Rate studies to develop impact and user fees • Collection and analysis of flow proportionate stormwater runoff samples • Surface and groundwater level monitoring, sampling, and analysis AECOM has a staff of highly qualified professionals who perform planning and design for a wide range of stormwater facilities. Stormwater Master Planning - AECOM has prepared numerous stormwater master plans for various municipal systems. These plans have established the condition of the existing system and then formed the "road map" for future expansion. Our clients have enjoyed specific recommendations that allow them to plan and budget for identifiable capital improvement projects (CIP). For growing communities, the plans have also allowed our clients to require new developments to install certain 53 City of Miami Beach Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater System Projects RFP 2017-129KB infrastructure that meets the ultimate needs of the stormwater utility rather than simply the needs of the development. Our experience has shown us that the key to successful master planning is the careful and thoughtful collection and evaluation of existing data and future projections. Another key element of successful master planning is having a variety of design and construction experience in the various areas of utility engineering, including stormwater pump stations, storage, treatment, grants/loans, and permitting. Stormwater Modeling - AECOM's expertise in stormwater covers predictive modeling of surface water for quality and quantity, watershed master planning, design of regional stormwater treatment facilities, and site development. Our expertise also covers water treatment, reservoir storage, distribution and reuse systems, biological studies, wetland mitigation and creation, biological field investigations, and permitting negotiations with local, state and federal agencies. AECOM's staff is well versed in the use of many types of hydrologic and hydraulic computer models including AdICPR, SWMM, XP- SWMM, HECRAS,ACOE HEC -1, HEC -2, UNET, EPA SWMM, TR- 55, and storm tab programs. Additionally, AECOM's staff has experience with water quality modeling software including FDEP WMM. Regulatory Support / Permitting The regulatory environment is constantly changing on a local, state, and federal level. "Streamlining" of the process has been occurring for a number of years, both between the state -agencies and -between -the -state and -federal level. Still, the rules are numerous, complex, and often difficult to work with. Whether the permitting is for a new facility, a modification to an existing facility, or the renewal of an existing permit, the following steps are critical for successful acquisition of permits: • Thorough knowledge of the regulatory rules, criteria and permits • Pre -application meeting(s) with the applicable agencies early in the planning/design of the work • Close communication with the owner and operators of the existing infrastructure systems in order to accurately represent the current conditions and the owner's objective in the permitting effort. AECOM follows this approach and the effort has paid off with the recent successful permitting on a number of facilities in Florida. AECOM— Coastal Zone Management AECOM is one of the few firms with experience in all aspects of coastal and marine program management.

Mowry, PhD, PE City Engineer 305.673.7080 x6565 Bruce.Mowry@MiamiBeachFL.gov Term: 2014 to Present Relevance to Scope of Work: ✓ Vulnerabilities to Climate Change/ Sea -Level Rise V Utilized Regional Planning Tools ✓ Awareness of Incremental Adaptation Description: The City of Miami Beach is a highly urbanized coastal community located in southeast Florida and a major economic resource to the region. With a population of just over 90,000, the City has been one of America's pre-eminent beach resorts since the early 20th century. Located on a variety of natural and man-made barrier islands, Miami Beach is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean and the environmentally sensitive Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve, which is also an Outstanding Florida Water. The relatively low-lying topography has a subtropical climate with high intensity rainfall, significant tidal influence, and limited soil storage which results in significant and frequent tidal flooding. maximize investments in mitigation measures to help minimize the impacts of projected sea level rise. The City's stormwater management system consists of approximately 340 outfalls (approximately 180 in the City's NPDES reporting program) served by swales, inlets, storm drains, and culverts, as well as gravity and pumped injection wells which will be eliminated in the near future, exfiltration systems that are no longer allowed in the City, channels, canals, pump stations, and retention -detention storage systems. AECOM was selected as the City's Flood Mitigation Consultant and is assisting the City Engineer with the development and implementation of parameters for creating an amended stormwater master plan - initially for bonding purposes and ultimately for the new criteria adopted by the City Commission. AECOM's primary objective in this study is to assist the City in identifying the most feasible alternatives for addressing long-standing flooding issues in the City by (1) identifying successful flood mitigation strategies used by other cities facing similar drainage and construction problems; (2) providing an independent and unbiased peer review of the problems and proposed solutions from previous studies; (3) identifying and formulating any structural and non- structural options which might provide significant cost savings or lend themselves to easier implementation; and (4) leading a stakeholder, staff and consultant panel review of the expanded spectrum of available solutions. Additionally, AECOM's team of subject matter experts is working to identify any potential solutions which will provide significant flooding relief in the shorter term at a cost that is affordable to the City's storm water program, The City Commission recently established new criteria to help relieve continuing flooding conditions by setting the Tidal Boundary condition at an elevation that will require the stormwater drainage systems to add pump stations to all outfalls in the City. It is anticipated that new sea walls, groundwater management (both horizontal and vertical movement) will need to be better understood in order to AECOM as a part of phased approach that moves toward an ultimate, comprehensive solution. Due to AECOM's demonstrated expertise and success with this project, similar projects are being adopted by Broward County and Ft. Lauderdale, both of which face similar risks due to exposure to sea level rise. 56 City of Miami Beach Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater System Projects RFP 2017-129KB Lee County Integrated Water Resource Plan Agency: Lee County, Florida Thomas A.

The Integrated Water Resources Master Plan project was completed in December 2010. The scope of work included development of hydraulic models for the potable water distribution, wastewater conveyance and irrigation quality water system. The models were developed from the county's existing GIS. A brief summary of the hydraulic models is provided below: Water Distribution System Model - The Lee County Utilities water distribution system model consists of six water treatment plants, 10 remote booster pump stations with storage tanks, and over 1,300 miles of pipe. The water system model was used to determine recommended water distribution system improvements to satisfy future demands over the 20 year planning horizon. A major goal of the integrated water resources master plan was to develop a regional water transmission system to effectively move water throughout the water supply service area. Wastewater Conveyance System Models -Hydraulic models of the wastewater conveyance system for each of Lee County Utilities wastewater treatment plant service areas were prepared. The models consist of manifolded force mains and pumping stations, but do not include the gravity portion of the service areas. Irrigation Quality Water System Models - Hydraulic Description: The primary objective of this project was to develop a single Integrated Water Resources Master Plan, which will serve as the road map that the Lee County Utilities will follow in order to ensure that reliable and sustainable water supply and sanitary sewer services are provided within Lee County Utilities service areas. The scope of work for the project included population and demand projections, water resource characterization including surface water and groundwater modeling, evaluation of improved storage opportunities including ASR and surface water storage, development of hydraulic models for pipe network analysis, development and evaluation of water resource supply alternatives, and an Integrated Water Resources Master Plan Final Report. The Master Plan Final Report identified the water resource infrastructure improvements that will be needed to meet the Lee County Utilities customer requirements in a timely and cost effective manner and result in an integrated, flexible and diverse water resource system.

AECOM is providing overall program and construction management (PMCM) services for MDWASD's $1.6 billion Sanitary Sewer Overflow Consent Decree program. HYDRAULIC MODELING The MDWASD developed a computerized collection and transmission model after the Second and Final Partial d Consent Decree. As per the-Seetien 18.c of the current Program and Construction Management Services Related to the Wastewater System Priority Projects Agency: Miami -Dade County Water and Sewer Department Contact: Daniel J. Edwards, P.E. 786-552-8354 Daniel.Edwards@miamidade.gov AECOM-- Consent Decree MDWASD will continue to use and maintain the hydraulic model. The Consent Decree specifies that the hydraulic model will be capable of predicting the volume of wastewater flow, hydraulic pressure in the system, flow capacity at each pump station, peak pumping rates and the likelihood of SSOs and surcharged conditions. The Hydraulic Model will also be capable of simulating all manifold force mains and private pumps stations. In addition, the current Consent Decree specifies that Miami -Dade will calibrate the model every five years. To comply with the Consent Decree requirements, AECOM helped MDWASD develop a 5 -year plan to delineate the activities related to the Wastewater Collection and Transmission System (WCTS) Hydraulic Model within the Consent Decree. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE Regulatory compliance is the driving force behind MDWASD's Consent Decree. The Department must meet 60 City of Miami Beach Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater System Projects RFP 2017-129KB over 800 interim and final construction milestones in order to comply with the current decree. AECOM is responsible for helping MDWASD comply with all requirements of their current Consent Decree. PLANNING Prior to moving forward with the 160 -plus projects stipulated by the Consent Decree, MDWASD asked AECOM to validate each project and establish a basis for implementing project designs. Our team is re -assessing each project to consider future regulations and ongoing and planned work within the County. AECOM assembled a team of experts in wastewater treatment, collection, and transmission, design, construction, procurement, and operations to evaluate each projects scope of work, implementation schedule, and cost estimate so that MDWASD would be assured that each not only met the requirements of the Consent Decree, but also provides the required level of service in a manner that balances schedule, cost and risk constraints. ENGINEERING AECOM is overseeing and managing the design process for each Consent Decree project. This includes projects at the three wastewater treatment plants and within the collection and transmission system. Our team is providing planning, scoping, procurement, and management of the Department's design consultants who are completing the detailed designs for each project. AECOM is also performing preliminary engineering (basis of design report or 10% level of design) for several key projects with fast- tracked Consent Decree deadlines. As part of the engineering -management proce, AEGOM-developed standard descriptions for the various levels of design (e.g. 10%, 30%, 60%, 90%,final) to help MDWASD better define expected scopes of services for design consultants. These definitions have since become standards for all MDWASD wastewater projects. In addition, AECOM is converting MDWASD's master specifications from the existing 16 division format to the more current Construction Specification Institute's 50 division format. This work will allow MDWASD to better align their bidding process with the format used by local contractors. This in turn will provide the Department with a better comparison of contractor's bids, and reduce the likelihood of future bid protests.

The scope of the project included performing a detailed route analysis, performed hydraulic analysis, developed design drawings and technical specifications, permitting, and provided construction phase support. The design was fast tracked to completion and permits were obtained so bidding could be conducted by June 2010. The project was implemented under budget. The engineer's estimate was $4,200,000. The final construction cost was $4,000,000. Working in conjunction with the City of Boynton Beach, AECOM presented a paper entitled "Three Heads are Better Than One" along with two other consultants at the 2012 ASCE Pipeline Conference and the 2013 FSAWWA Conference dealing with the raw water main program. Expanded scope of services: AECOM has a professional service agreement with the City of Boynton Beach. They had excess capacity to treat raw water its East Water Treatment Plant (EWTP). However, it was required that the raw water be pre-treated and then conveyed to the East Water Treatment Plant from the well fields near the West Water Treatment Plant. As a result, the City requested AECOM's support to interconnect the two water treatment plants in order to convey average daily flows to the EWTP of 16-mgd and future flows of 20-mgd. AECOM completed the route analysis study, design drawings, and technical specifications for approximately 8,100 If of 36 -inch raw water main as one of three sections c constructed (identified as Section A). Permitting service through the FDOT, PBC Engineering, Lake Worth Drainage District, FDEP, and PBC Health Department was completed. AECOM provided construction management and resident inspection services throughout the duration of construction and final completion for Section A. Stake- holders meeting were also conducted as necessary to work with the local community in keeping open communications in the event any issues arose. AECOM also assisted in obtaining utility easements for Section A. AECOM provided the following services for the RAW Water Main Section -A project: • Prepared a predesign report including survey and geotechnical investigations • Hydraulic analysis • Stakeholder coordination • Final Design consisting of Contract Drawings and Specifications • Permitting through various agencies including responding to agency RFIs 62 City of Miami Beach Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater System Projects RFP 2017-129KB • Bid Phase Services' assistance • Engineering Services During Construction with Construction Management • Completion Certifications and Closeout The pipeline consists of both open cut and horizontal directional drilling (HDD) elements. Of the 8,100 If, approximately two 1,000 linear ft 36 -inch nominal diameter HDPE HDD segments were designed and implemented. In addition, an extensive traffic control plan (MOT) was required. Pre -submittal permitting and project coordination assisted in the facilitation of the project. This was important since Palm Beach County has tight construction schedule requirements due to a county resurfacing project which impacted with our Section A pipeline schedule. AECOM performed hydraulic modeling (surge analysis) for the entire pipeline. The analysis was performed to determine: • Pretreatment system pump specifications • Optimum DIP class • Pipe size • Surge Protection Devices AECOM coordinated the design with the two consultants providing design services for Sections B and C.

This effort will lead to a Capital Improvement Plan to be used to guide the City through the decision-making process to make its water and wastewater systems resilient, environmentally responsible, dependable, and future proof. To initiate this process, the City intends to engage one or more engineering firms to perform evaluations of the existing water distribution and wastewater collection system necessary to develop the overall programs for each system. AECOM has developed the following comprehensive project approach. It is based on our three years of experience working with the City to address flood mitigation as a result of sea level rise and our assistance to the City to develop a resilience program. The following summarizes the AECOM approach in three broad areas: 1. Integrating Resilience into our Project Delivery Approach 2. Field Data Collection and Evaluation for Development of the Capital Improvement Programs a. Step 1 Background Data Collection and Database Development b. Step 2 - Field Data Collection and Assessment c. Step 3 - Flow Monitoring and Capacity Assessment d. Step 4 - Hydraulic Modeling and Calibration e.

Services During Construction 6. Support Services This comprehensive discussion represents AECOM's overall approach to implementation based on our past work with the City on the Flood Mitigation and Resiliency efforts. As a premier water/wastewater project delivery AECOM, firm, AECOM has a proven history of successfully managing billions of dollars of capital infrastructure investment around the world. Integrating Resiliency into our Project Delivery Approach Resiliency of the system to climate and sea level changes is the driving factor for the City. Based on its coastal location, the City is implementing numerous efforts to mitigate and plan for projected sea level rise impacts to maintain the quality of life and environment for their citizens. One of the primary objectives for any public agency to develop a series of projects similar to the City's is to bring clarity to complexity. Project delivery efforts, no matter the size utility, are complex and must address multiple simultaneous efforts; they require a standardized approach to bring quality, risk reduction and cost efficiency to bear. The following section will summarize the AECOM plan to address resiliency and implementation of the efforts to implement this project delivery effort. Sustainability, Climate Change and Sea Level Rise (SLR) Approach The AECOM Team applauds the leadership that the City has shown in South Florida and nationally to consider and planfor the effects of climate change and Sea Level Rise (SLR). As an active member of the Southeast Florida Regional Compact (Compact), active leadership in the 100 Resilient Cities challenge for Greater Miami and the Beaches (GMTB), plus the implementation of the Resiliency Program over the past three years, City has been proactive in evaluating its vulnerabilities to climate change and sea level rise, implementing adaptation strategies, and incorporating resilience into City operations, planning and design. The AECOM Team is well positioned to provide strategic planning, design and engineering capabilities to continue to identify and plan for climate change impacts at the local level, and develop implementable strategies to increase organizational resiliency. We have worked with numerous clients to develop tools, methodologies and approaches to help them better understand the impacts of climate change on operations and guide decision- making to take appropriate action. This includes interpreting the latest climate change science, 137 City of Miami Beach Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater System Projects RFP 2017-129KB incorporating downscaled climate data for hazard identification, modeling, and mapping; and design and implementation of resilient infrastructure projects. Through AECOM's current Flood Mitigation Contract with the City of Miami Beach and work with the City's Chief Resilience Officer and Resilience team, we have a detailed understanding of the City's Resilience program, the actions taken to revise and strengthen the City's land development and building codes, and the vulnerabilities and strengths of City -owned assets to sea level rise. A key outcome of our recent work is the Guidance Document on Sea Level Rise Vulnerability, which includes the Adaptation Decision -Making Assessment and Planning Tool (ADAPT). ADAPT is an excel -based database and tool that includes an inventory of City assets and generates vulnerability ratings. The tool is intended to inform capital investment priorities, build an asset inventory data, and track the vulnerability of assets as they are modified and improved or when new assets are built. This tool would be essential for the decision- making process as the City develops and considers capital improvements to the water and wastewater system to make it resilient, environmentally responsible, dependable, and future proof. Figure 1: Sample output from ADAPT tool Developed for the City We understand that the City purchases potable water from Miami -Dade County and resells to its customers, plus collects wastewater from its custom ers, including satellite cities, and conveys it to Miami -Dade County for treatment. Therefore, the City's water and wastewater infrastructure consists of water distribution piping, water valves, booster pump stations, fire lines, fire hydrants, water crossings, water storage tanks, water meters, sewer mains, sewer manholes, and sewer pump stations. In addition as a member of the Compact and through GMTB, the City must keep abreast of the regional planning efforts to supply the City with potable water and to dispose of waste water in the future as climate change occurs. AECOM plans to utilize the Guidance Document on Sea Level Rise Vulnerability and ADAPT to inform and evaluate the planning and design decisions needed for the City's AECOM existing water and wastewater infrastructure. This tool provides a process to ensure that projects complete a vulnerability analysis (or that vulnerability data from ADAPT has been incorporated and reviewed) and actions have been considered to reduce an asset's vulnerability. For example, 5 out of the 6 potable water pump stations are exposed to SLR impacts by 2060 due to their locations at low elevations. For the near term, the City should consider elevating electric equipment and adjacent ground to protect from flood water and to maintain access to/from facility; flood proof vents, conduits, doorways, and hatches, if possible. In the mid to long term, the City should consider elevating the entire pump station and electric generator pad when the end of service life has been reached and establish redundant pumping and electric power generators at each pump station. These assets have a high criticality since they provide potable water to the City. AECOM is currently using these planning tools to aid the City in its Stormwater program. AECOM is aiding City staff in the development of design criteria to provide flood protection to many neighborhoods within the City. These criteria include elevating electrical panels and providing redundancy to the City's stormwater management system. Figure 2 is an example of how this criterion is being implemented as part of improvements to the Stormwater System. AECOM is a recognized leader in resilience and climate adaptation planning efforts across the country and world. We offer experience in vulnerability and risk assessment;. planning, design, and construction of resilient planning and response; and climate mitigation and adaptation planning. • We have been working with the City of Miami Beach on the development of the Resilience Program including review and revision of the land development and building code as well as with assessing vulnerability and developing adaptation strategies on critical infrastructure. Figure 2: Recently constructed City stormwater pump station with raised facilities to address sea level rise 138 City of Miami Beach Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater System Projects RFP 2017-129KB • Recently we supported Broward County with the development of their Local Mitigation Strategy, which included consideration of sea level rise and proposed mitigation activities including the use of sustainable design concepts to reduce vulnerability. • Our Coastal Modeling Teams have supported a range of clients with understanding potential sea level rise through detailed modeling and mapping of future scenarios. Projects have ranged from supporting confidential utilities, to some of the nation's largest ports including Long Beach, and Houston, to state and local agencies including a sea level rise study for Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties, Florida, and a Sea, Lake, and Overland Surge from Hurricanes (SLOSH) model for evacuation planning for. the Florida DOT. • AECOM's planning and engineering teams have worked with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC), supplier of potable water and wastewater to the City and County of San Francisco as well as to wholesale customers, to incorporate sea level rise resilience into the planning and design of the City's wastewater system upgrades and improvements. • The work with the SFPUC resulted in a sea level rise vulnerability checklist for that the City of San Francisco utilizes for Capital Improvement Projects. This checklist was used as a prototype for the development of Vulnerability Assessment checklist for Miami Beach. • For the Lower Manhattan Coastal Resiliency project, a part of New York's recovery from Superstorm Sandy, AECOM is providing planning and design services to utionsalong-New York's waterfront, a complicated network of transportation arteries, water and power infrastructure, and publically accessible parks, and paths. Field Data Collection and Evaluation for Development of the Capital Improvement Program Step 1 Background Data Collection and Database Development At the outset of the project, AECOM will work with the City to collect and consolidate existing information across the City. This information will form the central repository of information upon which all analyses will be based and will form a critical and valuable asset long after this program is completed. The City has been working for some time to transition as -built construction information into the GIS, to the maximum extent possible, AECOM will utilize these data and where needed, add to it. AECOM Figure 3: Example of consolidated Infrastructure Data allowing the City to Better Define Capital Improvements and Reduce Life Cycle Costs (red pipes are missing invert data) Utilities often have existing infrastructure information in a variety of locations and a myriad of sources. AECOM will bring this information together so that gaps can be identified and preliminary analyses undertaken. Our analysis will inform data collection efforts and how the initial prioritization will be undertaken. Data Storage Once this project is started, the City will need a secure, central repository of all project data, implemented as a web site that can be used to provide information to the general public during the program as well as to promote availability, accessibility, reporting, and collaboration amongst project personnel. There are four critical issues in creating an information warehouse: • Data Collection— good data is required for a useful system. • Data Assimilation —the data must be organized and correctly related to each other. • Data Accessibility— reports and statuses must be readily available. • Data Security—the data must be safe from accident, corruption, or malicious actors. Data Collection The data to be included needs to either be migrated from an existing source (Step 1) or collected in the field (see Step 2 and 3). AECOM has years of experience across dozens of projects in the collection of water and sewer data, identifying data gaps and prioritizing comprehensive field data collection programs. We have implemented comprehensive asset management systems in which infrastructure inventories, hydraulic performance from models, CCTV inspections and maintenance activities 139 City of Miami Beach Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater System Projects RFP 2017-129KB were all compiled into a single Information Warehouse. These repositories are essential for capital planning and asset management decisions to be made with confidence. Data Assimilation Before implementing the Information Warehouse, AECOM will develop data structures to support the various aspects of the CIP and provide quality control of data. For GIS infrastructure data, we propose using the ESRI Local Government Information Model Template (LGIM) developed to support utilities, Our team will modify the LGIM to support the City's CIP, yet maintain the basic structure, thus allowing the City to leverage the free ESRI applications that have been developed by ESRI for utilities. The warehouse will maintain data collected and reported by such applications as the Asset Management Software (AMS), Computerized Maintenance Management. System (CMMS), ESRI ArcGIS, hydraulic models, document management, billing, and scheduling tools. Data Accessibility The Online Integrated Reporting Platform will be the gateway for the various program participants to access these applications. For the creation of the reporting platform, AECOM manages a talented team that uses a UML and use case driven approach for custom development. Through this, we ensure our efforts meet the project's needs and requirements. In web development, we program in a cross -browser mobile first approach to make sure the content has the widest available audience. We have accessibility experts to Data.

Step 2 Field Data Collection and Assessment The field data collection program will build upon the desktop analysis in Step 1 and be used to improve understanding of the condition and performance of the water and sewer infrastructure. Step 2 will help identify which infrastructure assets are not meeting target levels of service, carry an unacceptable risk of failure, or do not have sufficient capacity to meet the City's and stakeholders needs. Information collected in Step 2 will form the basis upon which capital projects necessary to improve service levels and meet the City's goals to make its water and wastewater systems resilient, environmentally responsible, dependable, and future proof. review our web designs and test the web application to ensure that content is functioning properly. We develop our applications using MVC, Web API, and HTTP Services. We use Entity Framework to access both SQL Server and Oracle databases. Using ESRI APIs, we can present GIS data in standard and custom views as required for both the public and the internal CIPMO team and stakeholders. We provide reporting as HTML, PDF, or Microsoft Office formats — all designed for maximum usability and a "continuously updated single point of truth". Data Security Once the Warehouse and Integrated Reporting Platform have been created, AECOM can provide web hosting on our servers in a commercial datacenter. We recommend that the City continue to host GIS data and data will be replicated to your server(s). We have redundant power, security, environmental, and connectivity layers as well as 24x7 onsite hardware and software system management. In addition to physical security, AECOM protects the data from prying eyes by using role based security to access AECOM Sewer System Data Collection It has been recognized that the key to achieving the desired levels of reliability and performance in the sewer system are based on the following two intervention mechanisms: 1. Regular inspection programs to adequately identify rehabilitation opportunities and priorities prior to a loss of service or before excessive deterioration has taken place 2. Timely and strategic implementation of rehabilitation of the system Step 2 will focus on the internal inspection of sewers Areas identified by AECOM's past work on the City's Vulnerability Assessment and collection of data upon which to perform additional hydraulic modeling, identify infiltration/exfiltration/inflow sources and characterize the condition of the sewer or manhole. 140 City of Miami Beach Figure 4: A Small Diameter Sewer Drone -capable of increasing data cap 5000' per day versus conventional CCTV rates of 1500' per day ure to To develop a prioritized capital program that maximizes the benefit from capital investments, the mechanisms and processes by which infrastructure deteriorates must be understood. Within the Areas identified by AECOM and the City, all sewer assets will be inspected which will inform the sewer inspection processes and selection criteria in subsequent neighborhoods. The selection of inspection candidate in the subsequent neighborhoods is discussed below. A: Optimization of Condition Assessment Data Capture in Small Diameter Sewers While the consequence of failure in larger diameter infrastructure is much higher, the vast majority of a Utility similar to the City is smaller diameter sewers. Optimizing data capture techniques in these diameter ranges is the key to becoming more informed, sooner, of the condition state of the sewer inventory at a lower cost. In essence, how can the City increase both the quality and quantity of To increase data capture rates in smaller diameter sewers, AECOM has previously investigated the use of "drones" such as Red Zone's Solon" Platform, which can be launched intelligently and remotely without the use of conventional CCTV truck setups to increase production rates of condition data by significant margins (in trials, average production rates have been demonstrated to be increased over 300% of traditional manned crew CCTV inspection methods). In order to facilitate the screening of sewer assets, AECOM also proposes the use of digital pole cameras. These instruments provide upstream and downstream zoomed images of sewer infrastructure from manholes along the sewer line. Approximately 200-300 feet of sewer can be seen provided there are no turns, obstructions etc. AECOM has developed an inexpensive pole camera setup using off the shelf components. A single crew of two people is able to visit about 25 manholes per day. The pole camera is not a replacement AECOM Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater System Projects RFP 2017-129KB for CCTV inspections. Rather, when combined with a prioritization based on consequence of failure, pole camera crews are an effective tool to identify areas where more extensive CCTV investigations should be applied. Minimizing the effort in data processing and maximizing the understanding of data as soon as it is processed is also critical to optimizing small diameter condition data capture. By mining PACP coding with advanced algorithms AECOM has successfully transformed raw condition data observations from inspection data directly to an initial rationalization of rehabilitation requirement requirements. While these need to be reviewed for quality assurance, the technique has a remarkably high success rate (>80%) and in essence automates and greatly reduces the effort associated with preliminary and detailed design process while improving its focus. B: Risk Based and Advanced Condition Assessment Technologies Condition assessment of larger diameter sewers and force mains is considerable more complex than smaller diameter sewer assessment. Visual data capture techniques are much more complex due to the high cost managing flow in the system and the pipe structures themselves have more complex modes of failure that need to be assessed to correctly ascertain true condition state and the appropriate timing for intervention. Integrating material degradation and structural specialists into a risk based framework to inspect more critical assets not only makes these programs more cost effective, it has served to make the Owner more .. . ' d-true-risk-atvery-early---- stages of investigation. This approach has been successfully by AECOM in larger scale programs in San Francisco (critical gravity sewers and force mains), Virginia Beach (large inventory of force mains), GTA (critical gravity sewers) and many others centers. C: Optimized Selection and Implementation of Sewer Rehabilitation The very essence of timely and strategic implementation of rehabilitation is the optimization of selecting of rehabilitation techniques and their seamless implementation through an efficient sustainable program; a program that continuously improves over each life cycle of implementation. AECOM's holistic approach of developing full catchment solutions that are driven by need s and the efficient direct transfer of knowledge from well-designed condition assessment programs have been demonstrated to be a very successful programmed approach that will serve the City well. 141 City of Miami Beach Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater System Projects RFP 2017-129KB Key aspects of this approach include understanding: • How to map condition assessment data directly to rehabilitation solutions, • Minimum excavation and trenchiess technology in terms of its ability to resolve specific performance deficiencies, • The quality assurance processes required to deliver these technologies to maximize their effectiveness, and Contract delivery mechanisms that most effectively engage and leverage the specialty skills that can deploy these technologies well. Water System Data Collection The water system GIS, as -built records and water model are the primary data source upon which the field data collection will evolve. The modeling team will identify any areas where missing or conflicting information may occur. A key piece of information to be collected is pipe material and age. While most of the system pipe materials and ages are available, some information is not as readily available. We will correlate information included in the City's archives relative to break and repair history with pipe age and material and use this information to help confirm pipe roughnesses in the hydraulic model. Hydrants and valves locations that are uncertain will be confirmed through coordination with the inspection team as they are in the field. AECOM proposes the following field activities to assess the condition performance of the water system within two Pitot Areas to be identified: • Acoustical Leak Detection Surveys • Hydrant Flow Testing • Watermain C -Factor Testing • Water Quality Sampling Step 3 Flow Monitoring and Capacity Assessment Flow monitoring will be performed on both the sewer system and the water system to assess existing capacity and provide critical data for hydraulic model calibration (Step 4) and necessary capital improvements (Step 5). Details of flow monitoring activities are discussed below: Sewer System Flow Monitoring Additional detail may be necessary to characterize 1/1 for the purposes of capital improvement planning. To facilitate this analysis, AECOM will install a network of sewer system flow monitors to supplement the City's and the County's existing monitoring to determine average wastewater loading rates and inflow/infiltration values that AECOM can be applied across the City. The temporary meters will consist of a combination of 12 week installations to evaluate the local system as well as long-term meters to supplement the permanent metering. In lieu of additional rain gauges, AECOM recommends utilizing gauge - adjusted radar rainfall to provide a detailed estimate of rainfall variation during monitored storms. Flow monitoring locations will be assessed based on the size, land use and pipe material types in the upstream sewershed. In addition, areas of known high inflow/infiltration will be monitored to aid in the determination of likely cause - fast response signifying direct inflow through cross connections and slow response indicating infiltration through cracked/leaky pipes and manholes. A flow monitoring plan will be submitted to the City for review. The keys to progressive condition assessment of large diameter and pressure pipe wastewater asset are merging sequential inspection techniques based on risk-based concepts, an advanced understanding of material degradation, and the deployment of advanced condition assessment technologies. Water System Flow and Pressure Monitoring There are multiple connection points to the Miami -Dade County system. With selective installation of flow meters and closing of isolation valves, the flow into each pilot area can be quantified and compared with metered usage to assess the amount of non -revenue water in the pilot area. Similar district metering areas and metering programs can be identified on a system -wide basis using the model. With the modeling results, areas with higher non -revenue water can be given higher priority for measures to reduce these quantities. Step 4 Hydraulic Modeling and Calibration Sewer Model Calibration AECOM has extensive experience working with municipalities in developing sewer models for the purposes of capital improvement. The Miami -Dade County Water and Sewer Department (MDWASD) Model, developed and maintained by AECOM, has served well in its capacity to represent flows as part of the Consent Decree Program, understand the volume and frequency of peak flows and is being used as part of the County's future planning efforts. The MDWASD model will be an invaluable starting point for the City's decision support tool. However, to serve for capital improvement the model will require extending into represent local areas of the City's sewer system. AECOM will develop a sewer model that contains the City's pressurized sewer pipes during the pilot modeling. Such a 142 City of Miami Beach Figure 5: AECOM developed the Mndalina Manual one to one correlation with the City's system will allow for the evaluation of capacity issues regardless of where the issue is in the system. Where possible, information from the existing MDWASD model will be used. Based on AECOM's experience for other local utilities and in the City of San Francisco, this approach using this tool is invaluable in evaluating their system quickly and effectively. That being said, an all -pipe model can be computation - intensive and is not suitable for some evaluations. Therefore, AECOM will also develop a model with less detail suitable for simulating large system -wide alternatives. Upon completion of the detailed all -pipe model of the pilot areas, methodologies to simplify the model for input into the City-wide model will be developed. In addition to calibrating the model to events recorded by temporary meters, AECOM proposes to simulate at least one historic large storm event to compare model performance to areas of known SSOs or flooding. As guidelines are being development for the guidance document, AECOM will be working to refine the sewer and water models in specific areas defined by the Vulnerability Assessment and apply the model to evaluate the City's system. The modeling conducted for these areas will be documented as part of the CIP. Using the Sewer Model Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater System Projects RFP 2017-129KB The steering team will identify other storms that may be simulated in addition to these. Once baseline conditions and design storms are established, a series of maps and shapefiles will be developed to identify areas with high inflow and/or capacity issues. Alternatives will be evaluated against their performance in alleviating these issues while also minimizing impact on other key factors, such as impact to CSOs. Water Model Calibration AECOM has extensive experience with calibrating water models. AECOM will follow a micro -calibration process for the test areas. To do this, we will develop query sets that will allow development of a submodel for each of the pilot areas using the InfoWater Facility manager to deactivate all of the pipes in the system except the pilot area. Boundary conditions for the pilot area submodel will be input using flow and pressure measurements taken at the boundaries. This submodel will then be calibrated using hydrant flow and C -factor data taken from within the pilot area. Calibration adjustments could include adjusting pipe roughnesses, adjusting demands, and modifying connectivity. Similar to the Sewer system, we will develop of a Water Model Guidance Document that will outline the procedures The calibrated sewer system model will be used to support the development of the CIP in a number of ways. The model will: • Assess the system for capacity issues and constraints • Identify areas with high inflow/infiltration • Determine the impact of suggested improvements. The modeling team will coordinate and define both baseline conditions and design parameters for evaluation of the sewer system model. The baseline model will be based on the calibrated model but may include the implementation of known future projects as well as population projection estimates; incorporation of these factors will be discussed with the City. The current model efforts under the Stormwater Master Plan Update being performed by AECOM simulate the system against a 5 - year, one -day storm with a 2060 sea level rise projection. AECOM Figure 6: Hydrant Flow Test Results will be compared against model results to clearly demonstrate model accuracy In each neighborhood and assumptions to be used for all CIP modeling. This document will provide details on updating the model, calibration, and use of the area submodels. It will provide a consistent framework and approach to hydraulic modeling, from model conceptualization through final design.

Using the Water Model After the pilot areas' water submodels are calibrated, they will be used to assess the level of service within the pilot 143 City of Miami Beach Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater System Projects RFP 2017-129KB areas. We will coordinate and define design parameters for evaluation of the water system model. These include: 1. Establishing baseline conditions (population projections, assumptions about future projects, etc) 2. Seasonal demand factors to use 3. Needed fire flows by type of property 4. Level of Service requirements in terms of flows, velocities, head losses, pressures and available fire flows These parameters will be used to identify hydraulic deficiencies in the system. Modelers will work with the planning team to locate other areas of concern in the pilot areas, such as deteriorated conditions, impacts on pumping facilities and control valves, and other City projects. The modelers and planners then will work collaboratively to identify potential improvements to alleviate these concerns. We will develop a matrix of each potential improvement and list the concern it is meant to address. We will then review each option to see if two or more of them can be combined or if any are mutually exclusive (e.g, a pipe being replaced would not need to be cleaned). The groups of improvements will then be evaluated with the model to assess the hydraulic improvements. Step 5 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Development The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is the culmination of all preceding steps. It is also the culmination of subsequent planning efforts across the rest of the system and will lead to subsequent efforts for the City. AECOM will identify capital improvements based on their ability to cost- effectively address the City's objectives and reduce risk. Beyond a Triple Bottom Line approach, we will evaluate candidate projects considering how each project meets social, economic and technical criteria and well as current level of service metrics. The CIP will be a combination of various improvements that, when applied collectively, maximize level of service and program goal at the lowest life cycle cost (i.e. lowest total cost of ownership). These projects may involve relining programs, pipe replacement programs, capacity improvement projects, sewer separation or the application of green infrastructure projects to reduce storm inflows. In conjunction with capital improvement, the CIP may also CONDITION ASSESSMENTPOROAYANt) MOVE MSS)u ERE -HABILITATION ASSIGNMENTS molovol Figure 7: CIP development will follow a documented and repeatable process of project selection that will meet level of service objectives while minimizing life cycle"costs 144 - -AECOM City of Miami Beach Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater System Projects RFP 2017-129KB recommend improved O&M practices such as valve turning or flushing programs if it can be demonstrated that they minimize life cycle costs and the City has the capacity to undertake them. Mitigation measures will be identified and founded on established decision-making processes and engineering judgement. For example, corrective measures for clay and concrete sewers based on their observed condition are illustrated in Figure 7. It is recognized that each project may not be immediately affordable and may have to be deferred until the backlog of infrastructure renewal can be addressed over time. While the resilience based (i.e. asset management) approach undertaken in the development of the CIP will maximize the likelihood of available SRF Grant and other funding opportunities, some projects will proceed while others will have a lower priority. Our financial analysts on the planning team will, however, work to maximize the City's qualification for available funding in addition to established funding sources. AECOM will use a risk based approach to prioritize CIP projects. This approach will evaluate and prioritize each project in terms of its need and characterized in terms of both likelihood (or probability) and consequence (or impact) of that asset failing to meet the City's goals. Step 6 Project Implementation Following the development of the CIP for the Water Distribution and Wastewater Collection Systems, the recommended projects will go to design and construction, the AECOM Team will follow the Project The AECOM team will be available to help the City facilitate the meeting and can provide the goals, an outline for the PMP, a preliminary master schedule, priorities, operating parameters (or where do the boundaries lie), and a set of rules for operating together as a team. Our first effort will be to map out the scope and requirements with "the end in mind" and codify it in an execution plan to implement the projects with a master schedule (updated monthly) and budget. The resulting plan must be affordable; based on AECOM's broad level of service offerings, we have the ability to work with the City and our AECOM Capital Group to improve your ability to pursue all forms of alternative delivery projects. Validating existing projects and City's existing data (i.e. master plans, condition assessments, CIP, etc...) will be a very important process in defining the scope. Validation will include evaluating the "Critical", "Necessary" and "Desirable" needs of the utility as indicated in the report. There is no need to reinvent the wheel when defining areas to place focus and valuable project dollars. Project Scoping Once an individual project is identified to move forward, AECOM will facilitate a scoping session with the City to review the overall intent and objectives of the effort. Typically, these scoping sessions also include a site meeting so that local constraints and expectations can be identified. The output from this meeting will be the initial outline of the scope, schedule, and budget. Keys to assure on time, on budget project performance starts with a scoping session to understand the work Delivery Scope as defined below. Establish the Project Delivery Scope for Projects Identified in the CIPs We start all of our project delivery efforts with a Project Management Plan (PMP) as this sets the course (roadmap) for identifying the scope of work planned and the policies, methods, standard operating procedures and workflow processes we will follow to meet the client's objectives. The Team will employ a 90 -day plan to establish the major elements or the "engine" for implementation. Our experience has shown us that if a good foundation is not built (90 -day plan) prior to execution of projects, that quality and cost efficiency will suffer, not to mention a significant increase in project delivery risks. AECOM recommends that the City hold a joint workshop, or Chartering Session, with all stakeholders to establish key objectives (success factors) of the projects and how all team members operate in an integrated manner (governance, decision making, roles and responsibilities). AECOM contemplated and goals desired. As is with most, consistent project communication and documented quality reviews remain a constant for monitoring on time and on budget performance. Below are those elements which to deliver the expected performance during each stage. Project Meetings AECOM takes a collaborative partnership approach with the Client and Stakeholders. The level of meetings is many times driven by the size and complexity of the project as well as the amount of anticipated stakeholder participation. To maintain the desired level of public involvement, AECOM typically works with the client to consider the following meetings: • Internal and external project kick-off • Town hall type engagements • Site planning • Progress/reviews at preset completion milestones • Internal reviews 145 City of Miami Beach Engineering Services for Water & Wastewater System Projects RFP 2017-129KB • Permit agency pre- and post -application submittal • Pre -Bid • Pre -Construction • Regularly schedule construction coordination • Project Commissioning The number and duration of meetings is dependent on the project scope. In any case, AECOM sets the agenda with Client input, monitors and documents the meeting and prepares and distributes meeting notes. We realize everyone's time is important, and therefore we pride ourselves to adhere to the meeting time allotted. Design Activities Preliminary Design -Basis of Design The first step for designing pipeline and pump station improvements is the efficient development of the Basis of Design Report (BODR) to support subsequent design in conformance with client and regulatory requirements. The BODR requirements and criteria vary by project scope and procurement method, i.e. design criteria package or full construction documents. The AECOM Team will use a uniform BODR template that can be quickly tailored and provide consistency for managing all of the project BODR activities as a single portfolio addressing critical path field and lead activities for optimal acceleration of the BODR phase. Mr. Roger Williams, the Project Manager has prepared BODR reports for many clients in Miami Dade and is the primary author of Design Criteria Packages used for Miami Dade Water and Sewer Department as well as the City. .• fes -has -extensive experience rehabilitating many different types of pipelines and pump stations. We have worked with numerous vendors, led by our local staff to perform condition assessments, which we understand will be provided for the pipeline projects. For the projects under this program we will identify recommended procurement methods, primarily anticipating design/build (D/B) or design/bid/build (D/B/B) for the majority of projects, based on our recent experience in Miami -Dade County. Detailed Design The BODR will serve as the 30% design submittal for Design — Bid — Build projects and the design criteria package for Design-- Build projects. Where the City chooses to prepare a more complete set of construction drawings, the size and complexities of the individual designs will dictate whether a standard 60%, 90% and 100% submittal process will be used or whether the 60% submittal can be eliminated. In order to reduce the design schedule, AECOM proposes eliminating the 60% design AECOM submittal for the more simple, straight forward type projects such as those requiring straight forward pump and electrical control system replacement. For the more complex projects, a 60% submittal is recommended. For each submittal package, technical specifications and a construction cost estimate will be included. For pump stations requiring a new wetwell, geotechnical borings will be taken to determine if the soil conditions require any type of special foundation design. After each design submittal, the design team will meet with the City and to discuss comments. Services During Construction The best design can become an unsuccessful project if the construction effort is not carefully controlled. Our team's design services during construction are intended to support the City staff. Typically construction administration or a resident engineer is provided however due to the presence of the Citys available external construction inspection services, limited services are may only be required. For specialized projects City may request additional assistance including provision of construction oversight staff. The AECOM Project Manager, Roger Williams, has worked with the City in this capacity on the recent 54 -inch redundant force main replacement project. The AECOM Team will utilize the same design individuals for services during construction, including review of contractor submittals (shop drawings, samples, etc.).
