Moreover, neither the City's inspection, review, approval or acceptance of, nor payment for, any Services required under the Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Consultant (or any Subconsultant) of its obligations and responsibilities under the Agreement, nor constitute a waiver of any of the City's rights under the Agreement, or of any cause of action arising out of the performance of the Agreement.

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 (1) 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 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.

II. ATTACHMENTS. Exhibit A: Pre -Submittal Meeting Sign In Sheet Exhibit B: 2015 Unified Sea Level Rise Projection 10. 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 III 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. Q8: Does the City foresee the need for the selected firm to provide permitting services for 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 Statement of Work 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 k ADDENDUM NO. 1 REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS NO. 2017 -129 -KB ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR WATER & WASTEWATER SYSTEMS PROJECTS A10: 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. Al 1: 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(I) 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 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 1, and H 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. Q20: Is there a Master Plan for the City and if so, can it be provided? A20: 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 Al2 above.

Morales, City Manager DATE: March 23, 2016 SUBJECT: 2015 Unified Sea Level Rise Project' n 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. MEMORANDUM 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 (CIP 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.

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 ARS 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 USG (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. 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. 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. iTOD3T! 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 8: 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 l3NiE�ED SEA EVE E R SE PROJECTION F AST EE�oi A 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 —J iL 80 70 60 Unified Sea Level Rise Projection (Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact, 2015) Year 2030 2060 2100 31.

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 ARS 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. 6 Summaries of the existing global projections are included below: •e• 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 5th Assessment Report (AR5) included four scenarios based on predicted greenhouse gas concentration trajectories (Regional Concentration Pathways, RCPs). 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 secs 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 1.2 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 R APP CATION 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 Key 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, Toss 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. U lARY 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 .

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 less 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, interconnectedness, and life cycle of the 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 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, 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.

Beach Lake Worth Pier *North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) is the topographic reference point used in surveying land elevations. 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(t2) - E(t1)= a(t2 - t1) + b(t22 - t12) where E(t2) — E(ti) = 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— t1) + (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 Key West tide gauge, a equals 0.0022 mm/yr. 24 80 70 > 60 v a co m w � N c 50 ,v C v it ©40 v v m u 30 i) O1 s ;> c 2D a 10 Unified Sea Level Rise Projection (Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact, 2015) Year IPCC ARS USACE High NOAA High Median (inches) (inches) (inches) 6 10 12 14 2100 31 1992 2000 USACE Intermediate/ NOAA Intermediate Low 2010 2020 2030 2.040 2050 2.060 2070 2080 2090 2100 Year Figure A-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 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. 25 APP DIXSTAT UPDATE 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 1.2 +/- 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 al., 2014) is expected to be the predominant factor affecting sea level rise acceleration during the 21st 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 from thawing. As an 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; Santamarfa-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) Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport 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 Tong-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: Figure 3.21 of Ch.13, AR5 Figure B-1. Percentage of the deviation of the ensemble mean regional relative sea level change between 1986-2005 and 2081-2100 from the global mean value, based on Figure 13.21, IPCC (2013). 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 PPf'D OR GROUP COM NIA R AN COl M N AT0 SS 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 NT,Or 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. Murley, Jim Obeysekera, Jayantha, Ph.D., P.E. Park, Joseph, Ph.D., P.E. Steelman, Marcia, C.F.M Van Leer, John, Ph.D. Wanless, Hal, Ph.D. Wdowinski, Shimon, Ph.D. 34 ':' 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.

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.

There are multiple connections to the Miami/Dade County water transmission system. The City collects wastewater from its customer's, 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.

FL 33146 Section 1 COVER LETTER & MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS CH2M far exceeds the City of Miami Beach's Minimum Qualifications, with 20 water and wastewater improvement projects that meet the City's criteria, including successful management of South Florida's largest capital improvement programs. Miami Beach is one of the world's most desirable places to visit, live, and work, but it is also one of the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change and sea level rise (SLR). To preserve its coveted way of life and keep pace with recent improvements in its stormwater system, the City of Miami Beach is seeking a partner to rehabilitate its aging water and wastewater infrastructure and to develop short- and long-term adaptation strategies to strengthen their resilience to climate change. MIAMI BEACH CH2M fully supports and embraces the City's goal of developing resilient, robust water and wastewater systems in an environmentally responsible manner, as embodied in Miami Beach Rising Above. Our world- class experience—both in South Florida and around the globe—provides the local knowledge and industry leadership that are essential for developing the water and wastewater infrastructure that will serve the City reliably and cost-effectively for many years to come. Industry Leading Engineering Qualifications Demonstrating the world-class expertise CH2M brings to the City of Miami Beach, we have a long, consistent history of leading the industry in the provision of water and wastewater -related services. CH2M has been the country's No.1 Sewer/Wastewater Company for 11 consecutive years, the No.1 Pure Designer, and the No.1 Construction Management/Program Management Company. As a practical example of the advantages that our industry leading resources and experience bring to the City of Miami Beach, the City RISING ABOVE WHAT THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH ASKED FOR IN THIS SECTION AND WHERE TO FIND IT • Cover Letter, p 1-3 • Table of Contents, p 1-5 • Response Certification, Questionnaire & Requirements Affidavit (Appendix A), p 1-7 • Verifiable Proof CH2M Meets the City's Minimum Qualifications, p 1-19 • CH2M Capital Improvement Projects in Florida, p 1-21 • CH2M's National Capital Improvement Projects, p 1-49 need only look as far as Miami -Dade County, where CH2M is Owner's Agent for the $5.7 billion Ocean Outfall Legislation (00L) Program. As Owner's Agent, CH2M is responsible for charting the future course of the County's wastewater system so that complex OOL requirements, such as rerouting wastewater flows from the east to the west, are met by 2022. ENR has ranked CH2M as a Top Program Management and top Environmental firm for over a decade. ENR Ranks # CH2M Top Design Firms: • Sewer/Wastewater • "Pure" Designers • Sewerage & Solid Waste • Wastewater Treatment Plants • Sanitary & Storm Sewers • Semiconductor Plants Top Environmental Firms: • Consulting/Studies • Engineering/Design • CM/PM • Federal Clients (in 2016) ENR publications thru August 8, 2016 Water and Wastewater Services Keep Miami Beach Rising Above CH2M Exceeds Miami -Dade County's Performance Requirements WASD has graded CH2M's performance with perfect 4.0 ratings on all evaluated projects, and the firm recently accepted multiple awards for its work on the Ocean Outfall program, including a Technology Merit Award for Climate Change Risk Modeling and Assessment from the Climate Change Business Journal, as well as the Miami -Dade Chamber of Commerce's Corporate Business of the Year Award for its outstanding contributions to the Chamber and local community. Southeast Florida Climate Change Leadership CH2M has also played a leading role in advising clients about Southeast Florida Climate Change Compact guidelines. For example, Miami -Dade County's OOL Program includes a significant climate resiliency component, and CH2M has been working with the Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) to evaluate the impacts of extreme weather and SLR on its wastewater assets. Core components of this work have included the following services: • Assessed projected climate change for key climate variables, including SLR, precipitation, and wind. • Modeled the increase in storm surge at the coast with SLR in 2040, 2075, and 2100 using MIKE21 calibrated to Hurricane Andrew and FEMA 100 -year stillwater elevations. • Modeled the extent of inland inundation caused by SLR, storm surge, and extreme rainfall using Flood Modeler Pro for a range of scenarios based on the service life of the wastewater facilities. • Evaluated risk to those facilities from various climate change scenarios as well as the associated costs of protecting the facilities. • CH2M facilitated a series of workshops with WASD staff and the program's design consultants to select design criteria that specified flood control elevations and facility hardening options. These specifications, which meet Southeast Florida Climate Change Compact guidelines, were documented in the Design Guide for Hardening Wastewater Facilities against Flooding from Surge, Sea Level Rise, and Extreme Rainfall. These design guidelines are especially relevant to the future of Miami Beach's wastewater collection system because of its interconnectivity with and dependency on WASD's wastewater collection system.

To ensure the viability of the CIP for many years to come, addressing the vulnerabilities of your water and wastewater infrastructure to climate change and sea level rise is a core component of the CIP development and implementation process. Having recently celebrated its 100th anniversary, the City also faces the challenges of aging water and wastewater infrastructure; redevelopment; an increased customer base; communication, interoperability, and cyber security concerns requiring more advanced supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems; and a community cognizant of the balance between infrastructure/road construction and traffic congestion needs. CH2M understands that to successfully manage the CIP, your selected consultant must bring a suite of management and technical skills to deliver your critical infrastructure on time and within budget. With worldwide experience completing very similar programs, including managing major capital programs in South Florida such as Miami -Dade County's $5.7 billion Ocean Outfall Program, CH2M is that consultant. Through our project approach, staff resumes, and 20 similar programs submitted in this document, we have demonstrated the breadth and depth of our climate resilience and CIP management expertise. CH2M has the subject matter experts here locally in Miami -Dade County and across the nation to assist you. Finally, CH2M understands the context in which your projects will be implemented, including the local geography and hydrogeology in Miami Beach and Miami -Dade County. We certainly appreciate this opportunity to submit our proposal and look forward to discussing in greater detail the value that CH2M can bring to the City of Miami Beach.

In all that we do, we uphold our highest ethical standards and core values—serving our clients and the communities where we work and live with distinction and delivery excellence. CH2M HILL was built on a strong foundation of doing the right thing, and captured in the Little Yellow Book are essential values that we hold dearest. As we move forward and continue to grow in an increasingly complex marketplace, we must draw on our past as we look to the future, living each day with the founding values of our company in mind. CH2M HILL's Employee Ethics and Business Conduct Principles further codify the firm's values and is your guide to how we interact with each other, our customers, our partners, our competitors and our suppliers.

You will, however, encounter unexpected situations, and I ask that you let our core values and these principles guide the decisions you make. As one of our founders, Jim Howland, said in the Little Yellow Book, "A good test to determine If a contemplated action is ethical is to ask, 'Would I want to see it in the headlines tomorrow morning?'"

Water and Wastewater Services Keep Miami Beach Rising Above SIMILAR EXPERIENCE WITH PUBLIC SECTOR AGENCIES Ocean Outfall Legislation Program. Miami -Dade County Water and Sewer Department. Florida RELEVANCE TO MIAMI BEACH ✓ Extensive CIP Delivery Experience in Miami -Dade County ✓ Extensive Climate Resiliency and Infrastructure Hardening Services O The Ocean Outfall Legislation (OOL) Program is critical for the County to meet the regional service needs of its customers, accommodate future growth, address climate uncertainty, and comply with federal, state, and local regulations. What We Do: Wastewater system master planning and managing overall delivery of long-term program that encompasses the design, procurement, construction, and commissioning of more than 60 major capital projects Contract Tenure: 2014 to 2026 Contract Value: $5.7 billion (constructed value) Agency Contact: Jim Ferguson, Senior Program Manager, 786-268-5250, James.Ferguson@miamidade.gov Project Profile The Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Department is the largest water and sewer utility in the southeastern United States and serves nearly 2.3 million residents and thousands of visitors on a daily basis. Staff works 24/7 providing high- quality water and wastewater services, protecting public health, and acting in the best interest of the environment. In 2008, the Florida Legislature approved and the Governor signed a law requiring all wastewater utilities Extensive planning and hydraulic modeling is required to reverse current west -to -east wastewater flows in the County to east -to -west. in southeast Florida that use ocean outfalls to dispose of treated wastewater to reduce nutrient discharges by 2018, cease the use of outfalls by 2025, and reuse 60 percent of the wastewater flows by 2025. As a result of this mandate, WASD is implementing system- wide wastewater facility upgrades through the OOL program. " CH2M HILL has a long history of working with Miami -Dade County, and has successfully delivered many important water and wastewater projects over the years. We are delighted to continue working with CH2M HILL on this important regulatory program, which will yield significant benefits to the environment and County infrastructure. as well as benefit the local economy by creating thousands of direct jobs." Bill Johnson, Miami -Dade County Water and Sewer Department Director during Program Startup and Initiation Water and Wastewater Services Keep Miami Beach Rising Above This $5.7 billion program involves wastewater system master planning and the design. procurement, construction, and commissioning of more than 60 major capital projects. These projects comprise the activities necessary to re- distribute the County's wastewater system flows, which currently travel from west to east (to the ocean). The wastewater will be rerouted west to a new membrane bioreactor treatment plant, which when complete, will be one of the largest in the world. After treatment, more than 450 mgd of treated effluent will be injected into deep wells for both reuse and disposal. As Owner's Representative, CH2M is responsible for system master planning, as well as managing the overall delivery of a comprehensive, technically sound, long-term program that encompasses the design, procurement, construction, and commissioning of an estimated 60 major capital projects. System Master Planning In preparation for this effort, the CH2M team gathered available information for the existing wastewater treatment plants (North District WWTP, South District WWTP, Central District WWTP), including record drawings, operational data, and site visits. The team also performed field inspections and assessments by multiple engineering disciplines at each of the facilities to update previously prepared condition assessment reports, providing a firm foundation on which to base evaluations and make planning decisions.

Home office time required for data entry of paper forms onto database was almost eliminated. t CH2M Water and Wastewater Services Miami-Dade's OOL program will nearly eliminate wastewater flows to ocean outfalls through a combination of new WWTP and deep well injection considering the impacts of climate change and sea level rise. Using this updated information, alternative peak flow management strategies were evaluated to maximize the use of existing assets and to simplify future operation when compared to the baseline solution. This evaluation became the basis for project planning at the existing WWTPs. Conveyance System Rerouting Conveyance tasks to support the rerouting of wastewater flows include the validation of the hydraulic model inputs and validation of the pump station and force main projects. CH2M used WASD's InfoWorks hydraulic model to plan and design the conveyance rerouting projects. First, we validated the inputs into the model, which was achieved by development of a template to plot the system response to multiple storms. The results of the validation of these flows found that the process for developing the inputs was sound, but the data itself was not reliable. The CH2M team also evaluated the impact of climate change on the selected design storm and SLR on groundwater infiltration. The result of this analysis is more confidence in the flows that will be used to design the projects that will meet the goals of the 00L. CH2M's conveyance team also validated the sizing, route, configuration, and impacts to the conveyance system of the planned new West District WWTP and other OOL projects. Validation of these projects found that, overall, the sizing of the pipes in the OOL Compliance Plan were conservative and that the impacts of these projects on the existing sewer system required more evaluation. As a result, it was determined that a key force main that conveys flow from Pump Station (PS) 187 to the North District WWTP does not have the ability to convey the required flow. The CH2M team worked with WASD to determine the local pump stations that should be disconnected, allowing the force main to act as an express sewer. The validation process also determined that the sequencing of conveyance projects to move peak flow from the east coast to an inland treatment plant is key to meeting the intent of the 00L. Climate Change/SLR Services To meet the guidelines of the Southeast Florida Climate Change Compact, the CH2M team evaluated the impacts of extreme weather and sea level rise (SLR) on its wastewater assets and. In support of this task, CH2M provided the following services: CH2M's flow analysis tool volhdates Miami-Dade's hydraulic model based upon spatially varied rainfall and the projection of flows, producing more refined flow projects and greater confidence in the model. Keep Miami Beach Rising Above • • Assessed projected climate change for key climate variables, including SLR, precipitation, and wind. • Modeled the increase in storm surge at the coast with SLR in 2040, 2075, and 2100 using MIKE21 calibrated to Hurricane Andrew and FEMA 100 -year stillwater elevations. • Modeled the extent of inland inundation caused SLR, storm surge, and extreme rainfall using Flood Modeler Pro for a range of scenarios based on the service life of the wastewater facilities. • Evaluated risk to those facilities from various climate change scenarios as well as the associated costs of protecting the facilities. Based on the results of these efforts, design criteria that specified flood control elevations and facility hardening options were developed and documented in the Design Guide for Hardening Wastewater Facilities against Flooding from Surge, Sea Level Rise, and Extreme Rainfall. CH2M then prioritized WASD's 1,069 pump stations on their risk of flooding from SLR alone, and SLR coupled with storm surge and increased rainfall, for two future planning horizons: 2040 and 2075. Approximately 252 pump stations were identified as being high priority based on criticality, based on flow, critical facilities served, and function for OOL compliance. All of the 252 Priority 1 pump stations are being further analyzed to quantify flood risk by comparison of elevation of critical assets to flood elevations. Those stations at risk of flooding will be further analyzed to refine facility hardening approaches and cost estimates, and to refine the design guidelines based on criticality and cost/benefit metrics. Decision Support Tools CH2M has worked with WASD staff to create data flow diagrams to help the team members crystallize their plans. Ideally, the goal is to leverage WASD's existing source systems for data collection, quality control, and storage, while extracting only the data needed for the program's analytic and reporting needs. The data flow diagrams are reviewed by all the team members so everyone understands how information will be integrated during and after the project. CH2M has experience creating system architecture and data flow diagrams to thoroughly map projects and add to their success. Along with the system diagram, CH2M staff typically develops lists of available data, data gaps, historic data, data management, and collection / QC standards. Key data systems include: • Mapping: ArcGIS • Document and Cost Management: Proliance / SharePoint • Maintenance Management: Infor EAMS • Financial Systems: PeopleSoft • Customer Information System: Oracle CC&B • SCADA and Modeling One example of the innovation we have brought to this program is the use of mobile field devices for data collection. • Using mobile technology along with ESRI ArcGIS Online software, the field has replaced existing paper based inspection protocols, resulting in higher quality, more timely data, increasing productivity and lowering costs—overall inspection process production rates increased by 65 percent. • Evaluated the impact of climate change on the selected design storm and sea level rise on groundwater infiltration, resulting in higher confidence in the flows that will be used to design the projects. Measures of Success • CH2M's flow analysis tool validates Miami-Dade's hydraulic model based on spatially varied rainfall and the projection of flows, producing more refined flow projects and greater confidence in the model.

A field condition assessment of the existing 54 -inch -diameter force main by others recommended immediate rehabilitation of the pipeline. CH2M assisted WASD with preliminary planning and engineering for this critical transmission force main, which had no redundancy. CH2M provided engineering design services for the new pipeline and criteria for rehabilitation of the existing force main. Before beginning the design, our first priority was to conduct an analysis of the force main's current route, working closely with WASD. A full geotechnical analysis and topographical survey along the project routes was an important part of this analysis. Using our proven, successful route analysis approach, • Seamless execution of 26 projects while the plant is in continuous operation • Client satisfaction as evidenced by award of follow on contract • Integrated 3D visualization to expedite concept development, promote early and continuous CH2M identified four new potential routes before selecting the final route for the new force main. After completion of the route evaluation and preliminary design, CH2M provided complete engineering design services for the preparation of contract documents for construction of approximately 4 miles of a new 54 -inch -diameter PCCP force main from SW 280th Street and SW 127th Avenue to SW 248th Street and 107th Avenue. Our work included preparing materials prepurchase documents for the 54 -inch -diameter PCCP pipe materials, as well as installation documents for construction. As part of preparing the prepurchase documents, CH2M helped WASD update its PCCP specification for use on the large amount of new pipelines expected to be required as part of the program work. CH2M also developed the 60 -percent design for rehabilitation of the existing 54 -inch -diameter force main serving the SDWWTP for approximately 2.5 miles. The new PCCP pipeline is currently under construction. The rehabilitation project is currently on -hold as WASD confirms its overall implementation schedule.

Contract Tenure: 1997 to present Contract Value: $4.6 billion (constructed value) Agency Contact: Lynnette M. Ramirez, Executive Director for Infrastructure, 787-999-1717 (ext. 1119), lynnette.ramirez@acueductospr.com Project Profile For over two decades, CH2M has supported the government of Puerto Rico with its $4.6 billion Wastewater Rehabilitation Program, including two major programs: 1) $2.1 billion Program 1— Implementing the Most Strategic Projects and Urgently Needed Repairs and Improvements, and 2) $2.5 billion Capital Improvements to the San Juan Metro Region Water and Wastewater Infrastructure. This multi -billion -dollar wastewater CIP is driven by ocean outfall issues. The simultaneous need to comply with an EPA consent decree for infrastructure improvements required consistent compliance with environmental criteria. The programs included regulatory planning and negotiation, outfall operation optimization, and discharge monitoring/mixing zone development components needed to comply with NPDES requirements for these outfalls. Program 1—Implementing the Most Strategic Projects and Urgently Needed Repairs and Improvements Under Program 1, CH2M managed extensive master planning to identify, prioritize, and implement the most urgently needed repairs. Using best management practices, CH2M put a new project in service every 5 days. delivering the program 6 months ahead of schedule. We managed more than 500 projects and more than 100 consultants and completed more than 150 Immediate Action Projects within one year. Under Program 2, CH2M provided another 8 years of service as the Program Manager for CIP for the San Juan metro region. This program aimed to resolve capacity deficiencies and to bring all facilities into compliance with current federal and Commonwealth regulations. Keep Miami Beach Rising Above • Program 2—Capital Improvements to the San Juan Metro Region Water and Wastewater Infrastructure After successful delivery of the previous program, PRASA selected CH2M in 2005 to lead program management for capital improvement projects in the San Juan metro region, serving approximately 1.5 million residents at the time. Similar to Miami Beach, PRASA's program objective was to resolve capacity deficiencies and to bring all facilities into compliance with current federal and Commonwealth regulations. Critical success factors needed to meet that objective included: • Providing efficient design, construction and startup/ commissioning of high-quality facilities • Conducting a comprehensive condition assessment to identify deficiencies and prioritize investments • Reducing capital and operating costs • Simplifying and streamlining contracting procedures • Enhancing PRASA's image with the regulatory community • Employing innovative technological and financing approaches, including partnering with the private sector • Providing technology transfer and creating a learning program for PRASA staff CH2M managed more than 189 projects (completed and active) and 42 consultants, with a construction cost of more than $2.5 billion. Projects include significant improvements to three W WTPs and four WTPs serving the San Juan metropolitan area, as well as a variety of pipeline and pump station modifications. Highlights of some of these individual projects follow: Puerto Nuevo Regional (RWWTP) Upgrade. The objective of the Puerto Nuevo RWWTP projects was to achieve regulatory compliance and improved plant 0&M of the 72-mgd facility. CH2M completed five immediate action projects that optimized operation of the facility, two of which also reduced existing safety concerns. Bayam�n RWWTP Improvements. The Bayam�n RWWTP is an advanced primary treatment facility rated for a monthly average flow of 40 mgd and a maximum day flow of 68 mgd. In the past, the plant had surpassed its permitted flow capacity in various instances. Flow to the plant will be increased because of planned projects for new connections to the collection system. The CH2M team assisted PRASA in developing a strategy to actively manage wastewater flows to the Bayam�n RWWTP to avoid Targe capital expenditures for new facilities. Martin Pena Pump Station. CH2M conducted maintenance and repair activities and minor modifications at the 30-mgd Martin Pena Pump Station and also commissioned the pump station. Services involved maintenance and repair activities for functional testing of the new pump station, startup services and extended commissioning of the new pump station, and drawings and specifications for demolition and a new 38 -kV line. Island -Wide Solids Management Plan. PRASA and CH2M also developed an Island -Wide Solids Management Plan that uses stabilization technologies that reduce the amount of water in the residuals at the source and expansion or the upgrade of regional processing facilities to support beneficial reuses and the land application of Class B biosolids. Ocean Outfall Work. Early in Puerto Rico's program, the primary focus was on monitoring and mixing zone modeling and validation to maintain 301(h) waivers of secondary treatment requirements for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids CH2M Water and Wastewater Services (TSS). This work involved effluent sampling for 150 chemical compounds; receiving water, sediment, and fish tissue sampling for the same compounds; benthic invertebrate community, fish community, and coral community analyses; physical oceanographic parameter analysis and mixing zone modeling; and inspecting ocean outfall/diffuser systems. The result of this work was an emerging focus SSO and CSO conditions within the sewage collection systems, with ancillary issues on air quality, water and wastewater treatment plant residuals management, potable water quality, and I/I studies. A key reason for this success was that CH2M staff have been fully integrated with client staff through co -location. which has streamlined the extensive required interagency coordination with local government officials. stakeholders, and plant O&M personnel. Also, our abilities in negotiations and change control have reduced construction change orders from 8 percent to less than 3 percent. • Under Program 1, CH2M has successfully managed all phases of wastewater engineering. including master planning, design, permitting, construction. and O&M of its wastewater collection, transmission, treatment. and disposal systems. • As a single -entity under Program 2. CH2M managed more than 189 projects and 42 consultants. Projects include significant improvements to three WWTPs and four WTPs serving the San Juan metropolitan area. • The longevity of this contract has allowed CH2M to work in close partnership with Measures of Success PRASA to refine best practices gained by lessons learned throughout the program tenure. Using best program management practices, CH2M has successfully delivered nearly 600 total projects under both programs more cost-effectively and efficiently than if PRASA had continued to develop its CIP without program management support. In fact, PRASA estimated it would have taken them an estimated 11 years to implement what CH2M implemented during the first 5 years. `rv'` We have entrusted our two most complex programs. the Metro Region CIP and the Non -Revenue W Water Reduction Program, to CH2M HILL and have received excellent results to date. The positive results of both programs are helping us achieve the long-term sustainable changes that we have been striving for to be a world-class agency."

What We Do: CIP development, implementation, and management; planning, permitting, design and construction. Contract Tenure: 2001 to 2010 (delivered 1 year ahead of schedule) Contract Value: $690 million (constructed value) Agency Contact: Jorge Holguin, Senior Project Manager, 954-828-5675, jholguin@fortlauderdale.gov Project Profile The City of Ft. Lauderdale selected CH2M as its water and wastewater CIP and construction management delivery partner and developed an innovative delivery process to compress the 20 -year CIP into the 10 -year. $690 million WaterWorks 2011 program—with the bulk ern ^r T %-c10111014: tellIMOM TER - RKS mare LAU CITYDERDALOF FORET WaterWorks 2071 was one of the largest public works program undertaken in the City's history and affected nearly every community within the City. This highly visible program faced enormous challenges due to the scale, complexity, number, and diversity of projects. Selecting the right delivery partner was critical for on-time delivery of the work scheduled for completion by the City's centennial birthday in 2011. The program included $212 million in improvements to the water system and $354 million for improvements to the wastewater system. As a result of the magnitude of the work to be accomplished under the program— including being fiscally responsible, adhering to scheduling commitments, and ensuring adequate community involvement and coordination—the City partnered with CH2M for program management and construction management services for various finished water, wastewater transmission, and treatment projects. Within the first 60 days, the CH2M-led team mobilized and had more than 50 active members working aggressively to meet immediate and critical program milestones. The team was fully co -located in the program management office, functioning as a fully integrated team of City, CH2M, and subconsultant staff. CH2M Water and Wastewater Services After contract award, CH2M integrated approximately 30 employees with City staff to create a unified team. Our team initiated the program by developing a proactive public information strategy, a comprehensive program procedure manual, a document management plan, and a program controls system. The program controls system provided an integrated approach to cost control and scheduling, allowing our team to prepare monthly cash projections, monitor monthly construction expenditures, and provide coordination between active construction projects in the same areas. With an economy heavily reliant on tourism, the City of Fort Lauderdale plays an important role in maintaining the viability of the city's quality of life and destination appeal. To address its aging infrastructure and the environmental hazards associated with the widespread use of septic systems, in 2001 the City's Public Works Department, with the help of CH2M, published its 20 -year Water and Wastewater Master Plan, which concluded the city must immediately bring sanitary sewer service to communities still relying on septic systems and it must overhaul and upgrade its existing water and wastewater systems to meet the needs of the fast-growing City. Project Highlights Representative wastewater collection system projects include: • 4th Avenue Force Main (Sub -Aqueous Crossing) - This $4,291,000 wastewater force main project included the planning, design, and construction management for a 2,200 -linear -foot, directionally drilled crossing of the New River and a 700 linear foot crossing of the Tarpon River with a 24 -inch force main. • A1A Force Main (Sub -Aqueous Crossing) - This $3,347,000 wastewater force main project included the planning, design, and construction management for 3,600 linear feet of a 24 - inch force main, including directionally drilled crossings of the Mercedes River and Las Olas Boulevard. CH2M led more than 180 local firms working on the program, demonstrating the program's focus on keeping spending in the community. A contractor outreach program was implemented early in the program to maximize local business participation and to help spur economic development. Strong contractor rrlana_gement and prequalification strategies minimized disruption to residents, improved schedule performance, and reduced the overall cost of schedule delays. In addition, performance-based contracts were used and high -performing contractors were rewarded with additional work. At the end of the program, nearly 14,000 properties, or more than 55,000 residents, were able to connect to the City's upgraded sewer system because of the following accomplishments: • 41 new sewer basins • 90 new and rehabilitated pump stations • More than 104 miles of new gravity sewers • More than 60 miles of rehabilitated gravity sewers, including 5,442 sewer connections Keeping the Dollars Local Keep Miami Beach Rising Above Overcoming Complex Construction Challenges Managing a program that spans almost a decade created a host of challenges. The past decade, in particular, presented enormous challenges that could have easily delayed program completion and create significant cost overruns: • The Construction Cost Index rose from 6 percent to 35 percent during peak construction • Severe shortages in construction materials significantly increased material costs • The energy shortage doubled fuel prices • 10 hurricanes between 2004 and 2008 drained local resources • The economic downturn and water use restrictions reduced City revenues • Water use restrictions limited dewatering methods and reduced productivity Superior Financial Performance CH2M was committed to managing to budget and schedule and to protecting the City's and tax payers' investment and implemented the following innovative cost-saving and containment strategies to respond to changing construction environment : • Rigorous budget and scope management practices— ensuring design and construction service fees remained constant over the course of the program • Re -prioritization of program spending to maintain an optimized program cost of $690 million—well below the 2001 program -level planning estimate when translated into 2009 dollars • Stringent cost control strategies—achieving a 2.5 percent change order rate, which is drastically below the 6 percent industry average • Aggressive cost-saving strategies—saving the City more than $92.5 million and yielding a 150 -percent return on its program management investment Robust Cost Control Measures Saved Fort Lauderdale $92.5 Million on WaterWorks 2011 Program • Fiveash Projects Consolidation • Davie Forcemain • SRF Interest Savings • Zero Net Change and Claims Negotiation ▪ Lime Sludge Disposal Value Engineering Study • Connection Process Improvements ($0.2M) 104_MBW_01 Innovative cost-saving and containment strategies yielded a 150 percent return on program management investment.

After finalizing the list of projects, a Risk Assessment and Prioritization Workshop was held as part of a structured decision- making process. This prioritization process used clear goals and decision criteria as part of a multi - attribute mathematical analysis approach. During the Risk Assessment and Prioritization Workshop, the CIP list development team defined the measures to evaluate projects, used a project prioritization model to score each project, and determined cost/benefit relationships to weigh tradeoffs between projects. Several master plans were developed in FY 2013 for the water (WTP) and wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), solid waste management, and SCADA controls systems. These master plans provide information and analysis necessary for the Tribal Community's infrastructure long-term planning using a phased approach. This planning methodology ensures that operational and capital costs are commensurate with the forecasted Tribal growth and needs. The CIP and master plans will be regularly updated to reflect changes in service demands, infrastructure condition. emerging goals, and priorities. Several immediate action projects were initiated as part of the Infrastructure Program to address high priority operational needs, conduct a PWD -wide needs assessment of plants and facilities to develop a prioritized 5 -year capital improvement plan, identify the current and future funding needs to maintain the Tribe's infrastructure investment, and implement a delivery platform to manage the PWD Infrastructure Program to maintain a high level of water and sewer utility service for the Seminole Tribe of Florida. R CH2M Water and Wastewater Services Projects will be delivered under this CIP using design -bid -build, construction management at -risk (CMAR), progressive design build, and lump sump design build delivery models. Client relationship strengthened through collaborative innovation and creative deployment of CH2M Program Management Framework • Chartering outcomes were combined with maturity model assessment to create a plan to build an innovative Program Delivery Platform. We built the delivery platform around the stage -gate process to help the client's staff understand the phases of a project and the importance of developing plans and documenting decisions. In the standard Program Delivery Platform, stage gate processes are in the design and construction functions. Using this dynamic delivery model, PWD can deliver the projects and maintain a high level of infrastructure service for the STOF with a transparent, defensible, and prioritized plan focused on accountability. • Built into program delivery platform is the project execution plan (PXP), which is progressively developed over the course of a project. The PXP starts as the basis of design and project instructions document and ultimately becomes the project's record of decision. Project information and decisions are added to the document as they arise, which keeps instructions current, allows the project team to find everything Measures of Success they need in one place, and eliminates duplicate or redundant work. • Developed multiple master plans to assist in a phased -approach, long-term planning to assure that operational and capital costs are proportionate with the Tribal growth and needs. • Helped PWD win several industry awards and build relationships with other Tribal Departments. • Helped strengthen interfaces by working with the Transportation Department to build a relationship with the Miccosukee Tribe to secure a Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan from the federal government. We led a delegation to Washington DC to pave the way for STOF to receive the first- ever TIFIA loan to be given to a native tribe. • Helped PWD create a transparent contracting mechanism to further support their vision to be fiscally responsible and good stewards of the Tribe's resources. The stage -gate and progressive -build PXP platform was the first of its kind. but will become an industry-leading standard because of its utility and efficiency, and the multiple other benefits it provides to clients. 1 Keep Miami Beach Rising Above Cudjoe Regional Wastewater System CIP.

What We Do: Development of improvements to address sewer system overflows, taking into account projected climate change impacts Contract Tenure: 2016 to 2018 Contract Value: $3.2 million Agency Contact: Carlos Frye, Project Manager, 727-892-5380, Carlos.frye@stpete.org Project Profile For many years, the City of St. Petersburg has been impacted by wet weather overflows in its sewer system, creating runoff that impacts local water bodies. The City's Wet Weather Overflow Program is being delivered in two phases, and CH2M has been responsible for managing both efforts: • Phase I. The Phase! study concluded that improvements to the wastewater reclamation facilities (WRFs) are the most cost-effective solution to mitigating potential future overflows and that collection system rehabilitation for infiltration/inflow (1/1)removal should be performed system -wide to reduce wet weather flows, ensuring wet weather flows do not increase over time. • Phase I1. Phase II, which is ongoing, includes a large- scale flow monitoring effort, update of the collection system model, a capacity analysis of the collection system using the updated model, and prioritization of sewer basins for elimination of 1/1. To date, CH2M has completed the following key services under the program: Preliminary I/I Characterization. Using available data, CH2M quantified the approximate amount of I/I entering the collection system and reaching each of the City's three WRFs. Based on these estimates, the cost of sewer rehabilitation work and a series of detailed assumptions developed through our project experience, CH2M developed budgetary cost curves for incremental removal of 1/1 from the collection system to lower peak flows at the WRFs. Model Assessment. During Phase II, CH2M reviewed the City's current wastewater collection system model for its accuracy in representing sewer response to wet weather events and updated the model to meet industry standards. Alternatives Analysis. Using hydraulic models developed for each WRF, CH2M developed options for incrementally increasing the treatment capacity at each WRF, which were plotted on their own cost curves. The WRF improvement cost curves and the cost curves generated for the I/1 reduction were then compared to identify the most cost effective solution or combination of solutions to mitigate potential future overflows. Flow Monitoring. During Phase II, CH2M's completed a large-scale flow monitoring program, which consisted of the deployment of 91 flow monitors throughout the City's service area to identify the primary sources of I/1 in the collection system and to update the collection system model. The monitoring program included evaluation of impacts of tide and sea level rise on groundwater levels. Phase II will also include developing climate change estimates of future rainfall.

What We Did: Evaluated the feasibility of proposed flood protection system and developed alternative strategies Contract Tenure: 2015 to 2017 Contract Value: $6.7 million (planning and design) Agency Contact: Thomas Foley, PE, Associate Commissioner, 718-391-1636, foleyt@ddc.nyc.gov Project Profile This East Side Coastal Resiliency (ESCR) Feasibility Study and Conceptual Design is the first phase of the "Big U" implementation for reducing flood risk on the east side of Manhattan. This HUD -funded concept examined the vulnerability of Manhattan to coastal flooding as a result of extreme storm events inclusive of climate change and SLR. In addition to flood risk mitigation, one of the other primary goals of the project is to enhance access to the waterfront. CH2M is part of a small team of engineering firms led by AKRF working on the implementation of the first phase of the "Big U." The ESCR project covers approximately 2.4 miles along Manhattan's East River Waterfront, from Montgomery Street in the south to East 25th Street at the northern end. The feasibility and conceptual design study performed in 2015 were the first phase of the ESCR project and the first critical step in identifying the feasibility of the proposed flood protection system. the various possible alternatives, and the overall cost of implementation. Addressing feasibility as a first step allowed the stakeholders to better understand the project design needs, the supporting data required to implement the project, and the alternatives and their costs, and also helped guide the City in developing a program that would meet project milestones in an expedited timeline. Based on the feasibility study and a comprehensive evaluation of the alternatives, a concept design for the ESCR project was developed at the end of 2015. The currently ongoing second phase of the project comprises the preliminary and final detailed design of the integrated flood protection system, interior drainage management, and enhancements to the existing waterfront for improved connectivity with the rest of the City. CH2M is working with various City agencies to identify utilities and other infrastructure that will be impacted by the proposed work. One of the major stakeholders in the project is Con Edison, whose multiple high voltage transmission and distribution lines are buried along the flood protection alignment in East River Park.

CH2M developed and implemented program management tools, led quality assurance, and provided capacity building. As Program Manager. CH2M managed over 450 design consultants, contractors, suppliers, and subcontractors. CH2M also implemented the processes and procedures to effectively manage funds and meet funding requirements. Program Overview The system includes 10 watersheds, divided into three treatment districts served by the Central, North, and South Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs), and served by more than 500 pump stations. Nearly 2,000 miles of separate gravity sewer force mains serve over 400,000 residents. The goals of the CH2M Water and Wastewater Services program are to rehabilitate the collection systems, increase the hydraulic capacity of the collection systems, to reduce excess wet weather flows that cause SSOs, to comply with the South WWTP National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, and to comply with the terms of the Consent Decree. The improvements include 115 projects in three program types: sewer rehabilitation ($210 million); capacity improvements ($680 million); and wastewater treatment and flow equalization improvements ($370 million). Through 32 separate rehabilitation projects. approximately 1.200 miles of gravity sewer and over 28,000 manholes will be inspected and rehabilitated where needed. Defects such as collapsed pipe sections and leaking manholes will be corrected by local engineers and contractors hired to complete the work. The improvements will also reduce inflow and infiltration, limiting a source of wet weather SSOs. Sewer system modeling identified the area's most in need of rehabilitation due to excessive inflow and infiltration. Capacity improvements will be undertaken through 66 projects that will address lack of adequate capacity in existing sewers. Capacity upgrades will be undertaken in approximately 180 miles of force or gravity sewer and at 160 pumping stations. The capacity upgrades were determined utilizing the InfoWorksTM hydraulic model of the system, with the system modeled for future flows at the Consent Decree mandated 2 -year, 12 -hour storm event. As part of this program, the City/Parish is also consolidating two WWTPs (Central and South WWTPs) and implementing improvements at the remaining South WWTP, including a new influent iotk ;;'.1 I , .:_: .., pumping station, new equalization tanks, new headworks, new solids contact basins, and new outfall. A total of eleven projects are planned for wastewater treatment and equalization storage. The treatment projects include screening, primary treatment, trickling filter, effluent pumping and sludge improvements at the South WWTP and odor control improvements at the North WWTP. Four projects are being undertaken to equalize system flows and provide storage for over 120 MG of sewage, reducing the need for additional treatment and conveyance improvements. Two are buffer zone projects which create an environmental buffer between the treatment and residential areas. Other projects include the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Master Plan Project and the Standby Generator Installation for Sewer Lift Stations Project. The hydraulic modeling of the collection system was an important part of determining the wet weather conveyance and treatment approach. Because of the prevalence of storms, the Program is installing over 500 emergency generators at over 480 pump stations throughout the parish to keep wastewater moving to a treatment facility instead of flowing back into homes and businesses. The emergency generators will be managed by the SCADA system that remotely monitors and controls the collection the pump stations as well as the treatment plants. Extensive hydraulic modeling was performed to identify the problem areas in Baton Rouge's wastewater collection system before rehabilitation.

Other construction projects managed by CH2M included two sewer projects. The $32 million Ellis Avenue Trunk Sewer and Tunnel Construction project in Fountain Valley included construction of a 108 -inch -diameter tunnel, This award-winning program helped Orange County move from a project -driven environment with routine construction overruns, to a more efficient program management framework. CH2M Water and Wastewater Services placed 20 to 45 feet below land surface by using an earth pressure balance tunnel -boring machine for approximately 1 mile. A 66 -inch -diameter centrifugally cast fiberglass reinforced polymer mortar pipe was installed inside the tunnel for conveyance of wastewater. The $8 million Bushard Trunk Sewer Pipe in Huntington Beach involved the procurement of approximately 13,900 feet of 108 -inch- and 96 -inch - diameter reinforced concrete pipe for construction of the trunk sewer. CH2M staff also managed construction of the $45 million Plant No. 2 Effluent Pump Station Annex, which was constructed at a heavily congested treatment plant site. The work required demolishing an out -of -service standby pump station and maintenance building and constructing a new pump building housing three 2,500 -horsepower, 120-mgd, dry -pit pumps, and wet wells. During the program, the CH2M team achieved many program successes, including: • Full integration of the District and IPMC in a cohesive project and construction management team. • Effective, flexible supplementation of limited in- house District resources, with quick response to staffing needs. • Improved coordination between engineering, construction and 0&M. • Implementation of standardized program control processes and tools for a uniform approach to delivering and monitoring multiple projects. • On -schedule performance of projects to conform to EPA federal Consent Decrees. • Assured continued permit compliance with no disruption of service. • Developed a strong project management culture, providing PM training for PMP certification and improving skills in construction management. Measures of Success • Reduction of non -construction or "soft" costs (e.g., District and IPMC staff, design consultants) from more than 45 percent to approximately 32 percent of the constructed value. • Improved expenditure forecasting and schedule and budget control, as indicated by yearly expenditures increasing from 60 to 80 percent of forecast prior to the program to 95 to 105 percent of forecast. • Reduction of construction change order rates from more than 10 percent of the constructed value to less than 5 percent. • 900,000 man-hours safely worked by IPMC without an OSHA recordable or lost time incident.

What we do: Capital program management Contract Tenure: 2006 to 2027 Contract Value: $2.2 billion (constructed value) Agency Contact: Jim Theiler, Environmental Engineer, 402-444-5225, James.Theiler@cityofomaha.org. Project Profile The City was required to submit a substantially complete LTCP to the Nebraska Department Environmental Quality (NDEQ) by October 2007 and a final LTCP with a construction schedule by October 2009—both dates were met. The City may take up to 15 years to implement identified control projects; however, that time period was increased to 18 years in 2012 as a result of impacts of the 2011 Missouri River Flood. In January 2006, CH2M was hired as the Program Manager for the Omaha Combined Sewer Overflow Long Term Control Plan. This included managing nine basin study teams led by City -selected consultants, and we initiated an accelerated study of the northern downtown area. The planning phase was successfully delivered ahead of schedule and under budget. In 2009 with approval of the LTCP, the role changed to managing and the implementation of the $2.2B capital program. CIP Development During the development of the 2009 LTCP, CH2M worked with the City to coordinate the plan so that it met the needs outlined in an affordability analysis developed by a local University. In 2013, the City worked with the University of Cincinnati to develop a more refined affordability analysis. The analysis suggested that the plan developed in 2009 and the anticipated user fees may be too high. As part of this, CH2M led the development of an updated LTCP in 2014. This plan resulted in significant savings; however, it was recognized that the additional work would be required to further reduce costs. As a result, in early 2016, CH2M led a workshop with the City to develop further modifications to the plan. It is believed that we will be able to reduce the cost of the program through modifications to the regulatory strategy and revision of controls by 15 to 25 percent of the $2 billion program. In addition, CH2M will be working with the City, and its affordability consultant, on an Integrated Plan, which will allow projects to be scheduled to meet the City's levels of affordability. Ultimately, successful regulatory negotiations achieved a highly flexible and favorable consent order that only mandated final LTCP submission and a date for completion of the program; no project specific dates are included. The LTCP included assessments of drainage basins and examination of specific problems and solutions in each basin. Uniform criteria have been used to assess solutions, benefits, drawbacks, timeframes, and cost. In 2014, CH2M led the update. Program planning (Phase 1) was successfully delivered ahead of schedule and under budget. and program implementation (Phase 2) is currently on schedule with the original plan. Keep Miami Beach Rising Above CH2M helps Omaha avoid a court -mandated consent decree, instead negotiating administrative order with liberal "off ramps" In only 9 months, CH2M helped the City avoid a consent decree and negotiate liberal "off ramps" into the sewer administrative order. CH2M helped the City: • Avoid a court -mandated order • Negotiate no interim project dates and reopeners for program changes, such as in water quality standards, costs, inability to obtain contractors, and impacts on the public • Gain approval with no changes, no citations for violations, no penalty payments, and no inclusion of stipulated penalties for possible future violations Omaha's groundbreaking administrative order is being studied extensively and its results presented at conferences around the U.S. Approximately 92 projects were planned for the CSO control program up through 2027; however, as a result of the 2014 LTCP Update, the number of projects was reduced to 74. Total capital cost was at $2.2 billion; however, the CH2M Team has gone through various evaluations that have resulted in a reduction to the program costs of nearly $200 million to a new cost of $2.02 billion. At this point, $117 million in construction has been completed, $274 million in construction is being bid or is in construction, and $95.8 million is in construction. The City has another $295 million of projects that are being reevaluated. Program Update (2016 - 2017) Currently, CH2M is getting started on a new technical evaluation. The objective of this evaluation is to focus on alternatives to adapt LTCP projects to meet regulatory requirements, the City's goals, and community expectations while targeting an overall program cost reduction of 15 to 25 percent. This effort will include feasibility and alternative evaluations primarily within the Minne Lusa and Saddle Creek Basins, but also including other portions of the Missouri River and Papillion Creek Watersheds in Omaha. Planned projects in other basins will also be evaluated to ensure that cost reductions are realized. Over the next 18 months, CH2M will be providing assistance in the development, implementation, and documentation of Omahas Green Infrastructure Prograrn. Incorporation of an incentive program will he included. The CH2M Team is providing a range of alternatives that could reduce the cost of the Program, along with a list of benefits for each of the alternatives evaluated. The end result will be updated budgetary construction cost estimates with life -cycle costs. This evaluation is anticipated to done in late 2017. Green Infrastructure Solutions CH2M has been providing assistance in the development of a robust Green Infrastructure CH2M Water and Wastewater Services program to improve water quality, reduce stormwater flows in the CSS, and ultimately reduce overall costs for the CSO Program. As part of the development of the Long Term Control Plan (LTCP) in 2006 to 2009, CH2M developed a process to identify potential Green Infrastructure sites within the combined area for inclusion into the LTCP. The Basin Consultants implemented the process and developed possible Green Infrastructure Projects for each Basin. CH2M, working with the City, evaluated the results and developed a list of sites that were included in the LTCP as recommendations to evaluate in greater detail. In addition, CH2M worked with the City to develop a process where each sewer separation project team is required to perform Grey to Green Infrastructure evaluations for the project area to identify potential Green Infrastructure elements that can be incorporated cost effectively. The approach for inclusion of Green Infrastructure in sewer separation projects is documented in a guidance document titled "Omaha Green Solutions Site Suitability Assessment and BMP Selection Process Guidance". The process was developed such that a good faith effort to incorporate Green Infrastructure is a part of every sewer separation project and is considered from the outset of the project. The process requires that the designer show that there The City has been able to reduce costs by approximately $15 million. are physical, engineering, or financial justifications for non-inclusion of Green Infrastructure. The elements of the evaluation include local site assessment, review of runoff sources, identify potential BMP controls, technical analysis to quantify the hydrologic and hydraulic impacts of implementation, and an economic analysis to show that it is cost effective. Special Regulatory Requirements Since implementation of the Program, CH2M developed an Environmental Plan, the purpose of which is to ensure compliance with the City's Consent Order and combined sewer overflow permit and to ensure that the projects themselves comply with applicable federal, state, and local regulatory requirements. The Plan lays out a program for addressing interactions with various agency stakeholders. The plan calls for close coordination with agencies to ensure that permits are addressed in timely fashion. It deals with all aspects including impacts on regulatory agencies such as the USACE (208/408 and 404), USFWS, USEPA, Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NPDES, RCRA, CERCLA, AIR) as well as working with railroads and others. • Co -located with City staff in addition to providing staff augmentation services, to enhance communication and productivity, and facilitate expedited schedule delivery • Simultaneously, we developed program controls and Web sites to facilitate project tracking and communications. • Working closely with the City, we launched early action projects and integrated a sustainability strategy into the $1.7 billion capital program, which included measures such as green roofs, bioswales, stormwater reuse, and rain gardens. • Analyzed the existing City of Omaha guidance documents and specifications for performing design and construction activities, and supplemented these Measures of Success documents with new protocols and workflows to clearly document the process and expectations for consultants and City personnel in executing program activities, and a revision of the program Web site. • Upgrading the InfoWorks model to incorporate more detail into the program so that it can better model simulate larger storm events • Assisted the City in conducting a series of stakeholder workshops and public meetings to foster public support and understanding, which contributed to the success of the program Keep Miami Beach Rising Above • Southern Delivery Water System, Colorado Springs Utilities, Colorado RELEVANCE TO MIAMI BEACH ✓ Evaluation of Pipeline Route Alternatives using a Multi -Attribute Decision Process ✓ Comprehensive Pipeline and Pump Station Design ✓ Delivered $160 Million under the Original $1 Billion Budget • The $840 million Southern Delivery System is a complex conveyance system that provides the region with a "drought proof" water supply.

The SDS is designed to meet the needs of these communities through 2046. Beginning in 2002, CH2M served as the prime consultant for the program, providing planning, preliminary, and schematic design services for all elements of the SDS. City of Miami Beach SBEs Phil Ryan, Tony Naimey. and Jerry Duppong played key roles on the program. The program elements include the following: • 50 miles of welded -steel transmission pipeline designed to convey raw water ranging in diameter from 66 to 90 inches • River outlet works, including connection to existing outlet control gates at the raw water supply source at Pueblo Dam • Project involved the design of three in-line raw water pump stations, a water treatment plant and treated water pump station, valve and metering stations, and trenchless crossings and pipeline connections. In collaboration with the client, CH2M conducted comprehensive route analyses of the raw water pipeline by developing hundreds of alternative alignments and implementing a multi -attribute decision process that led to selection of the preferred alternative alignment. In addition, CH2M provided construction oversight and services during construction throughout the duration of the raw water pipeline construction. CH2M was also the prime consultant responsible for the final design and services during construction for the Pueblo Dam Connection, the source water supply connection at the Pueblo Reservoir through Pueblo Dam. Final design of the 50 -mile raw water pipeline was separated into ten work packages, all of which were awarded to CH2M. As prime consultant on the raw water pipeline, CH2M developed final design packages that included plan and profile drawings, technical specifications, tunnel design, hydraulic and transient analysis, valve station and appurtenance designs, easement acquisition assistance, permitting documents, and erosion control design.

Contract Tenure: 2005 to 2008 Contract Value: $8.2 million (study and design) Agency Contact: Forest Williams, Program Manager, 916/337-4793, williamsf@SacCounty.NET Project Profile CH2M provided planning, predesign, final design, construction, and commissioning services for this regional project. which included an intake and pump station facilities along the Sacramento River, as well as the first reach of a transmission pipeline and a system- wide communications system. City of Miami Beach SBEs Phil Ryan and Tony Naimey played key roles on the project. The pipeline route study involved extensive analyses for 18 miles of 60- through 84 -inch - diameter pipeline that extended through both heavily urban and rural residential areas. CH2M developed a detailed pipeline alignment along the route that was ultimately used as the basis for detailed environmental analyses and final pipeline design. While the final design of most of the transmission main was conducted by others, the pipeline location ended up almost precisely where CH2M had initially located it. The discharge piping system extends through a regulated flood control levee and connects to the overall transmission pipeline system. The first reach of the overall transmission pipeline includes an 84 -inch - diameter welded steel pipe with two tunneled undercrossings—one beneath Interstate 5 and a flood control channel, and one beneath a railroad, a flood control channel, and Freeport Boulevard. The pipeline design also included a variety of complex large - diameter reinforced fittings to manifold the pumps and surge tanks into the first tunneled undercrossing and to allow for future pipeline pigging. The new Sacramento River intake facility has a firm capacity of 185 mgd and includes a state-of-the-art screened fish intake and a 16.000 -hp pumping plant (eight 2.000 -hp vertical line shaft pumps). Five hydropneumatic surge tanks are provided to mitigate hydraulic transients in the event of a power failure. The facility also includes a new 12 -MVA electrical substation. Special support services included land acquisition, permitting, reliability centered maintenance (RCM), vulnerability assessment, community involvement, and a variety of other related services.

Bill Johnson. Miami -Dade County Water and Sewer Department Director during Program Startup and Initiation Water and Wastewater Services Keep Miami Beach Rising Above • This $5.7 billion program involves wastewater system master planning and the design, procurement, construction, and commissioning of more than 60 major capital projects. These projects comprise the activities necessary to re- distribute the County's wastewater system flows, which currently travel from west to east (to the ocean). The wastewater will be rerouted west to a new membrane bioreactor treatment plant, which when complete, will be one of the largest in the world. After treatment, more than 450 mgd of treated effluent will be injected into deep wells for both reuse and disposal. As Owner's Representative, CH2M is responsible for system master planning, as well as managing the overall delivery of a comprehensive, technically sound, long-term program that encompasses the design, procurement, construction, and commissioning of an estimated 60 major capital projects. System Master Planning In preparation for this effort, the CH2M team gathered available information for the existing wastewater treatment plants (North District WWTP, South District WWTP, Central District WWTP), including record drawings, operational data, and site visits. The team also performed field inspections and assessments by multiple engineering disciplines at each of the facilities to update previously prepared condition assessment reports. providing a firm foundation on which to base evaluations and make planning decisions. A Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) was prepared for a baseline approach to fulfilling OOL requirements, which encompassed improvements at all three WWTPs (alternative was selected as part of the original OOL Compliance Plan).

Using this updated information, alternative peak flow management strategies were evaluated to maximize the use of existing assets and to simplify future operation when compared to the baseline solution. This evaluation became the basis for project planning at the existing WWTPs. Conveyance System Rerouting Conveyance tasks to support the rerouting of wastewater flows include the validation of the hydraulic model inputs and validation of the pump station and force main projects. CH2M used WASD's InfoWorks hydraulic model to plan and design the conveyance rerouting projects. First, we validated the inputs into the model, which was achieved by development of a template to plot the system response to multiple storms. The results of the validation of these flows found that the process for developing the inputs was sound, but the data itself was not reliable. The CH2M team also evaluated the impact of climate change on the selected design storm and SLR on groundwater infiltration. The result of this analysis is more confidence in the flows that will be used to design the projects that will meet the goals of the OOL. CH2M's conveyance team also validated the sizing, route, configuration, and impacts to the conveyance system of the planned new West District WWTP and other OOL projects. Validation of these projects found that, overall, the sizing of the pipes in the OOL Compliance Plan were conservative and that the impacts of these projects on the existing sewer system required more evaluation. As a result, it was determined that a key force main that conveys flow from Pump Station (P5) 187 to the North District WWTP does not have the ability to convey the required flow. The CH2M team worked with WASD to determine the local pump stations that should be disconnected, allowing the force main to act as an express sewer. The validation process also determined that the sequencing of conveyance projects to move peak flow from the east coast to an inland treatment plant is key to meeting the intent of the OOL. Climate Change/SLR Services To meet the guidelines of the Southeast Florida Climate Change Compact, the CH2M team evaluated the impacts of extreme weather and sea level rise (SLR) on its wastewater assets and. In support of this task, CH2M provided the following services: crl H2Ms flow analysis tool validates Miami -trade`s hydraulic model based upon spatially varied rainfall and the projection of flows, producing mare refined flow projects and greater confidence in the model. Keep Miami Beach Rising Above • Assessed projected climate change for key climate variables, including SLR, precipitation, and wind. • Modeled the increase in storm surge at the coast with SLR in 2040, 2075, and 2100 using MIKE21 calibrated to Hurricane Andrew and FEMA 100 -year stillwater elevations. • Modeled the extent of inland inundation caused SLR, storm surge, and extreme rainfall using Flood Modeler Pro for a range of scenarios based on the service life of the wastewater facilities. • Evaluated risk to those facilities from various climate change scenarios as well as the associated costs of protecting the facilities. Based on the results of these efforts, design criteria that specified flood control elevations and facility hardening options were developed and documented in the Design Guide for Hardening Wastewater Facilities against Flooding from Surge, Sea Level Rise, and Extreme Rainfall. CH2M then prioritized WASD's 1,069 pump stations on their risk of flooding from SLR alone, and SLR coupled with storm surge and increased rainfall, for two future planning horizons: 2040 and 2075. Approximately 252 pump stations were identified as being high priority based on criticality, based on flow, critical facilities served, and function for OOL compliance. All of the 252 Priority 1 pump stations are being further analyzed to quantify flood risk by comparison of elevation of critical assets to flood elevations. Those stations at risk of flooding will be further analyzed to refine facility hardening approaches and cost estimates, and to refine the design guidelines based on criticality and cost/benefit metrics. Decision Support Tools CH2M has worked with WASD staff to create data flow diagrams to help the team members crystallize their plans. Ideally, the goal is to leverage WASD's existing source systems for data collection, quality control. and storage, while extracting only the data needed for the program's analytic and reporting needs. The data flow diagrams are reviewed by all the team members so everyone understands how information will be integrated during and after the project. CH2M has experience creating system architecture and data flow diagrams to thoroughly map projects and add to their success. Along with the system diagram, CH2M staff typically develops lists of available data, data gaps, historic data, data management, and collection / QC standards. Key data systems include: • Mapping: ArcGIS • Document and Cost Management: Proliance / SharePoint • Maintenance Management: Infor EAMS • Financial Systems: PeopleSoft • Customer Information System: Oracle.CC&B • SCADA and Modeling One example of the innovation we have brought to this program is the use of mobile field devices for data collection. • Using mobile technology along with ESRI ArcGIS Online software, the field has replaced existing paper based inspection protocols, resulting in higher quality, more timely data, increasing productivity and lowering costs—overall inspection process production rates increased by 65 percent. • Evaluated the impact of climate change on the selected design storm and sea level rise on groundwater infiltration, resulting in higher confidence in the flows that will be used to design the projects. Measures of Success • CH2M's flow analysis tool validates Miami-Dade's hydraulic model based on spatially varied rainfall and the projection of flows, producing more refined flow projects and greater confidence in the model.

A field condition assessment of the existing 54 -inch -diameter force main by others recommended immediate rehabilitation of the pipeline. CH2M assisted WASD with preliminary planning and engineering for this critical transmission force main, which had no redundancy. CH2M provided engineering design services for the new pipeline and criteria for rehabilitation of the existing force main. Before beginning the design, our first priority was to conduct an analysis of the force main's current route, working closely with WASD. A full geotechnical analysis and topographical survey along the project routes was an important part of this analysis. Using our proven, successful route analysis approach, CH2M identified four new potential routes before selecting the final route for the new force main. After completion of the route evaluation and preliminary design, CH2M provided complete engineering design services for the preparation of contract documents for construction of approximately 4 miles of a new 54 -inch -diameter PCCP force main from SW 280th Street and SW 127th Avenue to SW 248th Street and 107th Avenue. Our work included preparing materials prepurchase documents for the 54 -inch -diameter PCCP pipe materials, as well as installation documents for construction. As part of preparing the prepurchase documents, CH2M helped WASD update its PCCP specification for use on the large amount of new pipelines expected to be required as part of the program work. CH2M also developed the 60 -percent design for rehabilitation of the existing 54 -inch -diameter force main serving the SDWWTP for approximately 2.5 miles.

Contract Tenure: 1997 to present Contract Value: $4.6 billion (constructed value) Agency Contact: Lynnette M. Ramirez, Executive Director for Infrastructure, 787-999-1717 (ext. 1119), lynnette.ramirez@acueductospr.com Project Profile For over two decades, CH2M has supported the government of Puerto Rico with its $4.6 billion Wastewater Rehabilitation Program, including two major programs: 1) $2.1 billion Program 1— Implementing the Most Strategic Projects and Urgently Needed Repairs and Improvements, and 2) $2.5 billion Capital Improvements to the San Juan Metro Region Water and Wastewater Infrastructure. This multi -billion -dollar wastewater CIP is driven by ocean outfall issues. The simultaneous need to comply with an EPA consent decree for infrastructure improvements required consistent compliance with environmental criteria. The programs included regulatory planning and negotiation, outfall operation optimization, and discharge monitoring/mixing zone development components needed to comply with NPDES requirements for these outfalls. Program 1—Implementing the Most Strategic Projects and Urgently Needed Repairs and Improvements Under Program 1, CH2M managed extensive master planning to identify, prioritize, and implement the most urgently needed repairs. Using best management practices, CH2M put a new project in service every 5 days. delivering the program 6 months ahead of schedule. We managed more than 500 projects and more than 100 consultants and completed more than 150 Immediate Action Projects within one year. Under Program 2, CH2M provided another 8 years of service as the Program Manager for CIP for the San Juan metro region. This program aimed to resolve capacity deficiencies and to bring all facilities into compliance with current federal and Commonwealth regulations. Keep Miami Beach Rising Above • Program 2—Capital Improvements to the San Juan Metro Region Water and Wastewater Infrastructure After successful delivery of the previous program, PRASA selected CH2M in 2005 to lead program management for capital improvement projects in the San Juan metro region, serving approximately 1.5 million residents at the time. Similar to Miami Beach, PRASA's program objective was to resolve capacity deficiencies and to bring all facilities into compliance with current federal and Commonwealth regulations. Critical success factors needed to meet that objective included: • Providing efficient design, construction and startup/ commissioning of high-quality facilities • Conducting a comprehensive condition assessment to identify deficiencies and prioritize investments • Reducing capital and operating costs • Simplifying and streamlining contracting procedures • Enhancing PRASA's image with the regulatory community • Employing innovative technological and financing approaches, including partnering with the private sector • Providing technology transfer and creating a learning program for PRASA staff CH2M managed more than 189 projects (completed and active) and 42 consultants, with a construction cost of more than $2.5 billion. Projects include significant improvements to three WWTPs and four WTPs serving the San Juan metropolitan area, as well as a variety of pipeline and pump station modifications. Highlights of some of these individual projects follow: Puerto Nuevo Regional (RWWTP) Upgrade. The objective of the Puerto Nuevo RWWTP projects was to achieve regulatory compliance and improved plant 0&M of the 72-mgd facility. CH2M completed five immediate action projects that optimized operation of the facility, two of which also reduced existing safety concerns. Bayam�n RWWTP Improvements. The Bayam�n RWWTP is an advanced primary treatment facility rated for a monthly average flow of 40 mgd and a maximum day flow of 68 mgd. In the past, the plant had surpassed its permitted flow capacity in various instances. Flow to the plant will be increased because of planned projects for new connections to the collection system. The CH2M team assisted PRASA in developing a strategy to actively manage wastewater flows to the Bayam�n RWWTP to avoid large capital expenditures for new facilities. Martin Pena Pump Station. CH2M conducted maintenance and repair activities and minor modifications at the 30-mgd Martin Pena Pump Station and also commissioned the pump station. Services involved maintenance and repair activities for functional testing of the new pump station, startup services and extended commissioning of the new pump station, and drawings and specifications for demolition and a new 38 -kV line. Island -Wide Solids Management Plan. PRASA and CH2M also developed an Island -Wide Solids Management Plan that uses stabilization technologies that reduce the amount of water in the residuals at the source and expansion or the upgrade of regional processing facilities to support beneficial reuses and the land application of Class B biosolids. Ocean Outfall Work. Early in Puerto Rico's program, the primary focus was on monitoring and mixing zone modeling and validation to maintain 301(h) waivers of secondary treatment requirements for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids CH2M Water and Wastewater Services (TSS). This work involved effluent sampling for 150 chemical compounds; receiving water, sediment, and fish tissue sampling for the same compounds; benthic invertebrate community, fish community, and coral community analyses; physical oceanographic parameter analysis and mixing zone modeling; and inspecting ocean outfall/diffuser systems.

Lauderdale selected CH2M as its water and wastewater CIP and construction management delivery partner and developed an innovative delivery process to compress the 20 -year CIP into the 10 -year, $690 million WaterWorks 2011 program—with the bulk TER 4 RKS irDg_ CITYOF T AU ERDAALLE WaterWorks 2011 was one of the largest public works program undertaken in the City's history and affected nearly every community within the City This highly visible program faced enormous challenges dere to the scale, complexity, number; and jiiversrty of projects. Selecting the right delivery partner was • critical for on-time delivery of the work scheduled for completion by the City's centennial birthday in 2011. The program included $212 million in improvements to the water system and $354 million for improvements to the wastewater system. As a result of the magnitude of the work to be accomplished under the program— including being fiscally responsible, adhering to scheduling commitments, and ensuring adequate community involvement and coordination—the City partnered with CH2M for program management and construction management services for various finished water, wastewater transmission, and treatment projects. Within the first 60 days, the CH2M-led team mobilized and had more than 50 active members working aggressively to meet immediate and critical program milestones. The team was fully co -located in the program management office, functioning as a fully integrated team of City, CH2M, and subconsultant staff. CH2M Water and Wastewater Services After contract award, CH2M integrated approximately 30 employees with City staff to create a unified team. Our team initiated the program by developing a proactive public information strategy, a comprehensive program procedure manual, a document management plan, and a program controls system. The program controls system provided an integrated approach to cost control and scheduling. allowing our team to prepare monthly cash projections, monitor monthly construction expenditures, and provide coordination between active construction projects in the same areas. With an economy heavily reliant on tourism, the City of Fort Lauderdale plays an important role in maintaining the viability of the city's quality of life and destination appeal. To address its aging infrastructure and the environmental hazards associated with the widespread use of septic systems, in 2001 the City's Public Works Department, with the help of CH2M, published its 20 -year Water and Wastewater Master Plan, which concluded the city must immediately bring sanitary sewer service to communities still relying on septic systems and it must overhaul and upgrade its existing water and wastewater systems to meet the needs of the fast-growing City. Project Highlights Representative wastewater collection system projects include: • 4th Avenue Force Main (Sub -Aqueous Crossing) - This $4,291,000 wastewater force main project included the planning, design, and construction management for a 2,200 -linear -foot, directionally drilled crossing of the New River and a 700 linear foot crossing of the Tarpon River with a 24 -inch force main. • A1A Force Main (Sub -Aqueous Crossing) - This $3,347,000 wastewater force main project included the planning, design, and construction management for 3,600 linear feet of a 24 - inch force main, including directionally drilled crossings of the Mercedes River and Las Olas Boulevard. CH2M led more than 780 local firms working on the program, demonstrating the program's focus on keeping spending in the community. A contractor outreach program was implemented early in the program to maximize local business participation and to help spur economic development. Strong contractor management and prequalifrcation strategies minimized disruption to residents. improved schedule per formance, and reduced the overall cost of schedule delays. In addition, per formance-based contracts were tised acid high performing contractors were rewarded with additional work. At the end of the program, nearly 14,000 properties, or more than 55,000 residents, were able to connect to the City's upgraded sewer system because of the following accomplishments: • 41 new sewer basins • 90 new and rehabilitated pump stations • More than 104 miles of new gravity sewers • More than 60 miles of rehabilitated gravity sewers, including 5,442 sewer connections Keeping the Dollars Local Keep Miami Beach Rising Above Overcoming Complex Construction Challenges Managing a program that spans almost a decade created a host of challenges. The past decade, in particular, presented enormous challenges that could have easily delayed program completion and create significant cost overruns: • The Construction Cost Index rose from 6 percent to 35 percent during peak construction • Severe shortages in construction materials significantly increased material costs • The energy shortage doubled fuel prices • 10 hurricanes between 2004 and 2008 drained local resources • The economic downturn and water use restrictions reduced City revenues • Water use restrictions limited dewatering methods and reduced productivity Superior Financial Performance CH2M was committed to managing to budget and schedule and to protecting the City's and tax payers' investment and implemented the following innovative cost-saving and containment strategies to respond to changing construction environment : • Rigorous budget and scope management practices— ensuring design and construction service fees remained constant over the course of the program 66 • Re -prioritization of program spending to maintain an optimized program cost of $690 million—well below the 2001 program -level planning estimate when translated into 2009 dollars • Stringent cost control strategies—achieving a 2.5 percent change order rate, which is drastically below the 6 percent industry average • Aggressive cost-saving strategies—saving the City more than $92.5 million and yielding a 150 -percent return on its program management investment Robust Cost Control Measures Saved Fort Lauderdale $92.5 Million on WaterWorks 2011 Program 530M 53M 534.6M 7M ® Fiveash Projects Consolidation Lime Sludge Disposal Davie Forcemain Value Engineering Study • SRF Interest Savings ▪ Zero Net Change and Claims Negotiation Connection Process Improvements ($0.2M) 104_MBW_v1 Innovative cost-saving and containment strategies yielded a 150 percent return on program management investment.

CH2M Water and Wastewater Services Section 3 PROJECT UNDERSTANDING AND APPROACH Our integrated planning, design, and CIP investment approach promotes climate resiliency collaboration and cooperation City-wide, reducing community impacts and project costs while advancing Miami Beach on the path of a truly resilient city. To honor its commitment to providing excellent public service to its residents, businesses, and visitors, the City of Miami Beach is undertakinga long-term ClPforthe development of resilient water and wastewater systems. To ensure the viability of the CIP for many years to come, addressing the vulnerabilities of the systems to dim ate change and SLR is a core component of the project and will involve the incorporation of sustainable and adaptive features, such as elevating equipment, water proofing buildings, and replacing traditional pumps with submersible pumps—solutions that must balance cost with the probability and severity of risk. In addition to climate -based vulnerabilities, the City is also facing the challenges of aging infrastructure, with the City recently celebrating its 100th year since incorporation, as well as rapid redevelopment, an increasingly informed customer base that requires awareness and involvement in decision making for large municipal capital expenditures, and cyber security concerns requiring more advanced SCADA and other system controls. Project Understanding Given these numerous challenges, the City is taking the steps necessary to harden its water and wastewater systems from near- and longer-term hazards and to integrate its systems with parallel City initiatives to maximize the return on investment (R01), while enhancing the economic, environmental, and social benefits of this investment. CH2M brings the resources, experience, and approach that are essential for achieving resilient water and wastewater infrastructure in the most cost-effident manner. In fact, our multi -benefit mitigation and adaptation strategies, which have proven effective from New York City to Miami -Dade County, have been WHAT THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH ASKED FOR IN THIS SECTION AND WHERE TO FIND IT • Project Understanding, p 3-1 • Approach and Methodology, p3-4 • Management Plan, p 3-19 adapted by USEPA in its climate resilience guidance documents.

Miami Beach Context The City of Miami Beach is a highly urbanized barrier island of approximately 7square miles, separated from the mainland of Miami -Dade County by Biscayne Bay. It is bordered on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, to the south by the Port of Miami access channel known as the Government Cut, to the north by the Town of Surfside, and to the west by Biscayne Bay, an important estuary and Outstanding Florida Water. The City is built on fill over a former mangrove marsh on the Biscayne Bay side, with a naturally formed sand bar on the Atlantic side. The island is relatively flat, with an average elevation of approximately 4.5 feet North American Vertical Datum (NAVD). The island's low topography ranges from a low elevation of around 1.5 feet NAVD at some locations along Biscayne Bay, with high elevations of around 10 to 12 feet NAVD as part of the built sand dune system along the Atlantic beaches. The surface geology consists of highly porous karst limestone overlain with sandy soils. The low topography, proximity to surface waters, and geology promotes high groundwater tables, which can be exacerbated during times of heavy rainfall and extreme tides, often causing localized flooding. Also, the presence of salt water corrodes the metal components of local water and wastewater infrastructure. Climate Resilience Initiatives Like many coastal communities in Florida and along the Atlantic Seaboard, the City of Miami Beach is vulnerable to the uncertainties of climate change, including threats from increasingly severe weather events, SLR (sea level rise), and tidal flooding. To address this vulnerability, the City has embarked on the Flood Mitigation Program and has begun a comprehensive Resilience Planning Initiative to integrate resilience thinking throughout City investment and operations. The Flood Mitigation Program began with the Mayor's commitment to keep the City's streets dry during the King Tide flooding events, and includes elevating electrical controls, increasing stormwater capacity, and adding more than 70 pump stations. These improvements extend beyond the stormwater system • Projected Flooding at 3 -foot Sea Level Rise (NOAA) Miami Beach's hydrogeologic setting promotes hrgh groundwater tables, exacerbating flooding during heavy rainfall and high tides. to also include replacement and repairs to the water distribution and wastewater collection systems during the open cutting of roadways. The Resilience Planning Initiatives build upon the City's Flood Mitigation Program, in addition to the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Compact, including the Regional Climate Action Plan and SLR projections adapted specifically for Miami Beach. The goal of these efforts is a better understanding of potential flood hazard scenarios and the vulnerability of the City's infrastructure to flooding and incorporation of long-term planning and climate -based decision making into capital investment and operations. This holistic approach will improve collaboration City-wide, reducing project impacts and costs while improving system performance. As sea levels and groundwater levels continue to rise, so too will the vulnerabilities of the City's water and wastewater infrastructure and threats of system damage that could impact its ability to provide a reliable, safe drinking water supply and wastewater collection service to the residents and business owners of Miami Beach. For these reasons, the City of Miami Beach is in the process of elevating vulnerable portions of the city to reduce the risk of flooding and to protect public and private infrastructure. This infrastructure hardening program includes elevating electrical controls, enhandng the stormwater conveyance systems, and installing new stormwater CH2M Water and Wastewater Services pump stations with vortex and baffle box treatment. During the open cut of each roadway, water distribution lines are being replaced and upsized, and wastewater collection pipes are being replaced or relined. Incorporating these flood mitigation projects into other utility improvement projects is reducing the City's costs. The City is also undertaking several other efforts to establish a culture of climate resiliency throughout the city including: • Establishment of Miami Beach Rising Above flood mitigation program and the Mayor's commitment to keep the city dry • Involvement as a partner with the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Compact • Passinga newsustainabilityordinance • Hiring a Chief Resilience Officer • Formation of the Mayor's Blue Ribbon Panel • Operationalizing resilience in City processes and decision making • Committing to improving the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Community Rating System (CRS) status from Class 6 to Class 5, • Grant award by Rockefeller Foundation 100 Resilient Cities Initiative • Resilience planning efforts induding: — Comprehensive code review PRIORITIZED SHOCKS AND STRESSES ss, ks Hurricanes/Tornado (22%) Econ optic Crash (11 %) Infrastru cture Fallu re - Cyber Security/Communications (9%) Infrastructure Failure -Transport/ Access (9%) Inadequate Transportation System (15.5%) Sea Level Rise (15.5%) Aging Infrastructure (15.5%) Lack of Affordable Housing (14%) Access to Quality Education (7%) STRENGTHS ANC) WEAKNESSES Strengths Ensures Continuity of Critical Services (21%) Meets Basic Needs (145) foster Long -Term and Int-. ated Plannin.

This integrated approach to capital investment, which leverages co -benefits for every dollar invested, has proven to be a sound working model. This same approach can continue to guide the City's proposed water and wastewater CIP to enhance not only current and future capital investments, but also operations and maintenance (O&M). By building on its current understanding of climate hazards and interim implementation guidance, the City is well positioned to continue its investment in infrastructure to further advance the resilience and protection of its infrastructure, supporting the quality of life in Miami Beach. Water Distribution System Potable water treatment and supply is provided by Miami -Dade County (WASD) through a wholesale purchase agreement. Other than maintaining a chlorine residual in the water storage tanks, the City of Miami does not treat its potable water supply. Potable water is supplied to the City from piped connections to WASD's distribution system, which run along the four causeways and associated bridges across Biscayne Bay. The 20-mgd potable water distribution system in Miami Beach is owned and operated by the City, in collaboration with WASD, and consists of the following major components: • Five piped connections/transmission lines from the mainland (WASD) • Four potable water storage tanks, two located in the north beach area, two at the Department of Public Works in the central part of the city • Five potable water booster pump stations with backup electric power generators, two in the north beach area, three in the central part of the city • More than 1,200 fire hydrants • More than 180 system flow meters Keep Miami Beach Rising Above • wenty-three water quality monitoring stations • More than 180 miles of water distribution piping • More than 7,000 valves to regulate pressure and maintain system • More than 10,000 domestic retail service connections (29,001 domestic ERUs) • Approximately 2,960 irrigation service connections (8,443 irrigation ERUs) The drivers for im proving the City's water distribution system are aging infrastructure, changes in population, and the need for greater resiliency. Wastewater Collection System Wastewater treatment is also provided by WASD. All wastewater collected in the city is piped south to WASD's Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant (CDWWTP) located on Virginia Key. The City of Miami Beach owns and operates the collection system within the City, in collaboration with WASD. The City also provides wholesale sanitary sewer collection services to four satellite communities to the north: the Village of Bal Harbour, the Town of Bay Harbor Islands, the City of North Village, and the Town of Surfside. Sanitary flows from these satellite cities are conveyed through the City of Miami Beach's collection system to the CDWWTP. As WASD's Owner's Agent for the OOL Program, CH2M is aware that the flows in WASD's sanitary sewer system are impacted by both groundwater infiltration and rainfall -derived inflow and infiltration (RDII), which can impact the City's wastewater collection system. The flows change seasonally, with marked increases during the wet season and rainfall events. The 25-mgd wastewater collection system within Miami Beach consists of the following major components: AADF Projections 2035 CDWWTP Population (DWF = BST- + GWI) RDII effect of AADF AADF -based on projections (no CC, no SLR) 141 19 160 —g Additional AADF due to Climate Change and SLR Additional MDF due to Climate Change (RDH) Additional AADF due to SLR MDF with Climate Change and SLR 4 24 188 Our climate resiliency work for WASD's wastewater collection system will facilitate development of similar measures for Miami Beach's wastewater infrastructure • Five flow monitoring stations • More than 30 pump stations • More than 3,300 collection system manholes • More than 152 miles of gravity and force mains The drivers for improving the City's wastewater collection system are aging infrastructure, changes in population, the need for greater resiliency, and control of extraneous flows. Approach and Methodology CH2M's approach to the development of a robust water and wastewater CI P and master plan are built upon our Infrastructure Delivery Platform (IDP). This approach provides a resilient plan for water and wastewater systems that are aging, impacted by changes in population, and vulnerable to climate change and sea level rise. Our IDP has proven effective on some of the country's largest CIPs, such as Miami -Dade County's $5.7 billion OOL Program, the City of Ft. Lauderdale's $690 million WaterWorks Program, and many of the other major programs described in Section 2, Qualifications and Experience. CH2M's Infrastructure Delivery Platform (IDP) provides the framework for development of a robust water and wastewaterCIP and master plan . Phase I—System Data Gap Analysis During Phase I of the IDP process, the CH2M team will gather and evaluate existing data on the water sit WSW v, distribution and wastewater collection systems. This will include existing GIS databases, maps, plans, reports, and other City records. We will also evaluate the flow analysis or hydraulic models that are currently being used by the City. Our team will conduct visits with staff and conduct targeted field inspections of key assets, such as pum p stations, to develop an understanding of these assets and operational data processes. Condition assessments, 4 CH2M Water and Wastewater Services SSES Priority Basins are areas within the City's sewer network in which sewer inspection and rehabilitation was performed between 2000 and 2009 in pursuit of Consent Order compliance.

The benefit of this step is that our team can evaluate, discuss, and document the existing data and identify any data gaps with the City. The Phase I deliverable is a technical memorandum (TM) summarizing our findings. Water and Wastewater Model Validation and Gap Analysis In Phase I, our team will review and validate both the water and wastewater models and provide a technical memorandum documenting our findings. Models mature as the water and sewer systems evolve, and changes in piping, flows, and extraneous flows such as inflow and infiltration (1/1) change over time. During the model validation process, we will evaluate both models with current data and evaluate how they represent the current condition. For example, for the City of Cincinnati, we ran a year of rainfall data through the wastewater model and documented how the peak flow compared between the simulated (modeled) and observed. Our team found that the model represented smaller storms well but did not represent the larger storms that were closer to the design condition. The CH2M team recently completed validation of the model inputs into WASD's OOL Program model, which is directly relevant to the City of Miami Beach's model because of the interdependencies between the systems. VoyageTM Resiliency Modeling CH2M brings a unique innovation to this fi rst phase of the City's project. Since master planning and updates to the hydraulic models can take several years to accomplish, we propose to use our proprietary Voyageml model and the current data to conduct a high-level planning evaluation to simulate and measure current and future flows and to support the derision -making process on how best to improve resilience. Voyager' consists of a customizable library of standard and customize interconnected blocks that can represent a water distribution or wastewater collection system Computed vs Observed Max Flow (ors 4 at 43512002-43512001 42 3331,349Jan 1. 2031.

Keep Miami Beach Rising Above VOYAGETM Dynamic Simulation Model MEW 3,1 vl A WS -2 MN Cedkame ■ .41.A We optimized these alternatives over a period of at least 10 years to develop an understanding of asset failure and energy usage over time for Thames Water's pump stations. The results were a set of projects that formed the basis for the utility's CIP and that optimized the resiliency of the system. Our team will apply this same process for the City of Miami Beach. Phase II—Data Collection Based upon the results of Phase I, a Data Collection Plan will be developed that focuses on high-risk and „' Ill N' critical assets. Prioritization of projects is one of the key aspects of capital planning, and CH2M uses a proven "top-down, bottom-up" approach to support this work. This top-down, bottom-up analysis uses data that has already been collected, which is refined with the identification of data gaps, the gathering of additional information, and the application of principles of risk management, to identify assets presenting the greatest risk of failure. Condition Assessment CH2M has assembled a project team comprised of SM Es, including Water Distribution System Subject Matter Expert (SME) Scott Williams and Wastewater Collection System SME Susan Moisio, who are experts in the evaluation and design of some of the world's largest and most complex water and wastewater CH2M's proprietary Voyage model can be used with existing data to conduct a high-level planning evaluation to support the decision-making process on how best to improve resilience. and how it operates. CH2M has applied Voyager'" to some of the world's most complex conveyance projects, such as Thames Water's Fleet project in the United Kingdom. Using VoyageTM, we can corn pare the resilience of different parts of a single wastewater catchment or across different catchments city-wide. Resilience is measured by assessing the availability of collection system capacity, which is a function of both storage and conveyance in the collection system. Capacity is used up by the base sanitary flow, groundwater infiltration, and tidal -derived I/1 and RDII. Capacity is further compromised if there are periodic and temporary blockages, collapses, or mechanical failures. When demand exceeds supply, the capacity is no longer available and there are service failures in the form of flooding or pollution, jeopardizing a variety of outcome measures and impacting customers. A resilient system is one where capacity utilization is within tolerable norms. Our application of Voyager' for Thames Water's project resulted in multiple alternatives to address existing and future conditions, optimizing the following conditions: • 1/I - reductions or no reductions • Im pacts of climate change and SLR on flows • Additional capacity gained by upsizing pipes and pump stations • Impacts of failure of pump stations and critical pipes Refine projections with additional data Top -Down Faulty Level 1.

These individuals have the skills and experience required to evaluate the City of Miami Beach's facilities by considering the operations, management, maintenance, and engineering aspects of each facility and the overall system. Our condition assessment experts have assessed numerous large, aging, and complex treatment, collection, and distribution facilities using the knowledge gained from operating and maintaining more than 200 water and wastewater system facilities and development of the most advanced approaches to managing infrastructure assets, as demonstrated by the USEPA's adoption of our asset management processes and tools discussed earlier in this section. GIS -Based Too! for Asset Risk Scoring and Prioritization While CH2M uses a variety of tools to assess water and sewer systems, we conform the results of these studies to industry standard risk-based asset management approaches. These approaches allow for the leverage of utility management software, as well as GIS -based tools for the development of asset -level CIP plans. CI -12M has developed a GIS - based risk scoring and prioritization tool that will identify the City's water and wastewater assets with the highest risk profile for immediate rehabilitation. This tool focuses on condition assessment of high-risk assets, bringing a robust scoring algorithm that leads to prioritization of assets, while also tracking medium -risk assets deteriorating over time. The benefit to the City is continuous, "just in time" improvement of its assets. There is a distinction in conveyance asset management practice between "vertical assets" and "linear assets.' Vertical assets typically include water or sewer pumping stations, water storage tanks, diversion structures, and reservoirs. Linear assets include buried pressure piping (water mains and sanitary force mains) and gravity sewers. These distinctions are important and the variety of conveyance assets owned by the City of Miami Beach will require a multi -faceted approach to condition assessment. Water and Wastewater Vertical Assets CH2M's approach to the condition assessment of vertical assets features a team of experienced operations and maintenance personnel with years of utility operations experience.

Our field team will use hand-held devices to gather and summarize the condition assessment information using CH2M's proprietary program Asset Condition Evaluation System (ACES), which was developed to greatly improve their efficiency. Using ACES, we will perform detailed condition assessment of priority mechanical assets, which include pumps, valves, motors, and other mechanical systems. We will also identify observable code and safety issues. Condition assessment beyond immediate extemal physical observation and monitoring of any available meters may be recommended as part of a future detailed assessment, if warranted. Gravity Linear Assets (Wastewater) CH2M will apply a unique risk-based scoring and prioritization model called SCREAM'" (System Condition Risk Enhanced Assessment Model) to the assessment of gravity sewers and manhole structures. SCREAMT"' is an expert system of condition assessment algorithms that automatically synthesizes the data produced from any of multiple asset inspection techniques, such as pipe and service lateral CCTV, lamping/zoom camera, smoke and dye tests, sonar, and manhole inspections. SCREAMT"' includes a comprehensive listing of defects so operators can easily link the visual defect to a defect code, which has a corresponding 1 to 100 score. SCREAM' includes easy-to-use MicroSoft Excel and ACCESS data interfaces and is programmed in SQL making it easy to integrate with other popular database and GIS software platforms. SCREAMT"' also has been mapped to and will score other coding systems, such as NASSCO's PACP, MACP, WRc, or ASCE's Manhole codes to produce SCREAMT"' scores and I/I quantities. Pressurized Linear Assets (Water and Wastewater) CH2M will use a tiered approach to pressure pipeline condition assessment to maximize the These utilities have benefitted from CH2M's SCREAM" risk -scoring and prioritization tool: • City of Boston, MA • City of Suffolk, VA • Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority, San Juan, PR • Fairfax County, VA • City of Columbus, OH • City of Aurora, CO • Omaha, NE 367 NEVW' v1 City's ROI by progressing from the least expensive and invasive to the most expensive and labor intensive. While the lower -tier analyses typically do not interrupt operation of the water or wastewater system, the highest tiers of investigation may require shutdown (e.g., fordewateringa main). The typical tasks performed during a progressive tiered condition assessment are shown below. Of course, each water or wastewater main system is different, and CH2M will develop a condition assessment program that is tailored specifically for Miami Beach's program. CH2M has found that an effective means of comparing available technologies is to develop a matrix of available technologies by tier and to populate the matrix with the characteristics of each method.

Field Investigation Plan The Preliminary Field Investigation Plan will follow the progressive tiered approach, consisting of Tier 1 (desk- top analysis and non -intrusive methods), Tier 2 (semi - intrusive methods), and Tier 3 (fully intrusive methods). The matrix will be applied to the various types of pipe to determine the most appropriate and value-added technology. The preliminary Field Investigation Plan will be submitted to the City of Miami Beach and will be discussed during an interactive workshop. Comments and reviews by the City will be collated and incorporated into the detailed Field Investigation Plan. Key features of the field investigation plan include the following: • Compilation and analysis of available data (e.g., pipe material, age, leak history) of all the pipelines • Assessments of the pipelines and appurtenances, highlighting the site challenges that may impact pipeline condition assessment and subsequent pipe replacement and rehabilitation works • Analysis of available pressure/flow records and recommendation for additional pressure and flow monitoring as needed • Methodology for assessment of the condition of the pipelines in terms of its condition, reliability, capacity, and remaining useful life approximation • Recommendation of the most appropriate and cost- effective methods of condition assessment for the City's consideration • Impact assessment of the pipeline condition survey and site investigation works on operation of the existing networks, public, and environment, including recommendation of mitigating measures to overcome the impacts Field Investigation Implementation The Field Investigation Plan will serve as the roadmap for development and implementation of the condition assessment activities. Approaches for the various services (water versus sewer) and pipe materials (iron versus plastic) will be developed and areas of interest will be identified based on the desktop analysis. CH2M will build on the Field Investigation Plan and will include the detailed specification of the field investigation projects, preparation of bid documents, cost estimates, bid and award services, and management of field investigation activities. This task will also include preliminary interpretation of the interim results, which may be performed as part of the bid specifications. CH2M will provide continuous review of the condition assessment work and will make adjustments to the investigative work as findings begin to accumulate. Dedicated CH2M Field Services Team CH2M's Field Services Team, led by Condition Assessment Lead Dan Hegwald, will expedite the data collection process for the City's projects. Our Field Services Team is trained and dedicated to performing data collection in the field using hand-held devices that expedite the process and make data immediately available and easy to share with the City. CH2M's Field Services Team recently performed the field work for the City of St. Petersburg's Wet Weather Mitigation Program, which is described in detail in Section 2. Our involvement on the City of Miami Beach's program will provide continuity and seamless delivery because of our access to the raw data and their field expertise. This is very beneficial for sewer systems with multiple data inputs. Wastewater System Flow Projections Ina parallel process, our team will collect information on current and future flows in Miami Beach's water and wastewater systems. For the wastewater system, our analysis will include the flows from the satellite cities. We will work with the City to develop future projections for flow based upon historic population data reported in the latest City CAFR report and published regional population projections, I/I, SLR impacts on groundwater infiltration, and climate change impacts on rainfall. Our team will update the model calibration to meet industry standards.

The benefit to the City is an experienced modeling team that knows WASD's modeling platform and flows, and how Miami Beach's flows are represented and projected into the future. Upon completion of the data collection task, our team will update the hydraulic model for use in a capacity assessment evaluation. Our team uses the United Kingdom's Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) metrics for calibration, and has modeled for cities such as Miami, London, Chicago, Cincinnati, and Baton Rouge, and is currently updating the calibration for the City of St. Petersburg, Florida. The benefit to Miami Beach is that we bring an experienced modeling team that we can move forward quickly with this task. Water System Flow Projections Recent piping changes, customer meter data, and pumping and storage facilities will be incorporated into an updated model for use in water system CIP development. Also, the most recent permit compliance and customer billing data will be captured. The City's water distribution model will also be calibrated by comparing the latest SCADA and operations data to model output to ensure the model reflects an accurate representation of current conditions. The results of the Phase II data collection and flow projection efforts is a robust data set for performing a condition assessment and capacity assessment of the water distribution and wastewater collection systems. The CH2M team will provide this data to the City in the form of GIS -compatible datasets. The Phase 0 deliverable is a list of scored assets, based upon the structural condition and maintenance condition of the gravity pipes and transmission mains and updated water and wastewater hydraulic models. The data gap analysis and collection phase will be conducted in close coordination with City utilities staff to support development of a water and wastewater CI P and master plan and to enhance Public Works' asset management system. Program needs will be evaluated and refined at a project kickoff to offer the maximum benefit to the City and all related initiatives, including short-, mid-, and long-term management of critical City assets. r '117-1 ......f..,:11,110 M6W_3O2 Vt Our experienced modeling team is currently updating the calibration for the City of St. Petersburg's wastewater system, which will expedite this effort for Miami Beach. 323_MBW v1 Phase III—Data Analysis During the Data Analysis Phase, water and wastewater capaatyand condition assessment information are compared to ensure the capacity required to provide the proper level of service will be met by available capacity. The more resilient water distribution and wastewater collection systems respond to the impacts of population growth and climate change (as well as leakiness and infiltration), whereas less resilient systems do not, resulting in peak flow impacts at the pump stations CH2M Water and Wastewater Services where the flow cannot be pumped or where pipes or pump stations experience a failure due to condition. Based on the established level of service (LOS), performance metrics, and City needs, the data analysis will be customized to support development of the water and wastewater master plan, a robust and implementable CIP, and ongoing and future City programs. Wastewater Hydraulic Model The CH2M team will work with the City to establish the LOS that will be used to evaluate capacity in the wastewater system. Our team evaluated the impacts of climate change on the design conditions for Miami- Dade's OOL Program, and we are experienced in working with the evaluation of LOS for numerous other clients. Once the LOS has been established, the hydraulic model will be run with this design storm and the existing system capacity assessment will be documented. Our team will worl<with the City to establish the future model inputs (population, I/I, groundwater infiltration, impacts of climate change, and SLR) and develop the future condition model. We will use the design storm and evaluate the future capacity assessment. This data will be used as inputs into the CIP Development Task and VoyageTM model. Once a set of alternatives has been identified as part of the Voyage'Manalysis, they will be tested with the updated hydraulic model. Water Hydraulic Model The water hydraulic model will be used to evaluate service pressures, hydraulic gradients, and other characteristics to determine if hydraulic performance meets previously established criteria under both current and future demand conditions. Deficiencies will be identified under various conditions, using different scenarios, such as fire flow and maximum and minimum day demands.

The alternatives will address current deficiencies and deficiencies resulting from future growth. The previously described system performance criteria will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the alternative solutions. These alternatives will potentially include a range of pipe sizes, pipe locations, valve locations and modifications, and other capital improvements. CH2M will also perform water quality simulations of water age, as well as chlorine residuals, to identify areas of deficiency. Improvements will be identified to address these water quality deficiencies. CH2M has direct Optimization Component Description Defi ne Alterna tives and Decision Variables Define Performance Variables Objective Function Use engineering judgment to define potential system improvements. Alternatives are constructed from combinations of choices for the available decision variables. Decision variables are the things we can change in the system to potentially improve performance.

Define cost functions to represent life -cycle costs of system modifications. Define non-financial performance measures to drive the optimization process away from low cost, but undesirable solutions. Non-financial performance is often represented through penalty functions. Keep Miami Beach Rising Above • experience with water quality modeling in distribution systems, with a focus in areas with known water quality issues. CH2M will evaluate options to reduce water age, including flushing, rerouting of flow to the area, and water treatment options, such as air stripping or the use of carbon filters for the removal of disinfectant byproducts (DBPs), which will require re -chlorination. We propose to update the existing water age model to perform additional water quality modeling in support of the strategic planning effort. System Optimization CH2M's Optimization Toolkit provides the opportunity to cost-effectively identify solutions to clients' challenges across a range of technologies. Taking advantage of model automation techniques in combination with sophisticated algorithms optimizes solutions by allowing the evaluation of a far larger set of potential solutions than with traditional approaches. CH2M has successfully applied optimization to water resources projects, water distribution system projects, collection system projects, groundwater modeling, and wastewater model calibration. We have developed linkages to analytical processes to apply optimization techniques to engineering problems. The key components of an optimization evaluation are similar across applications, as summarized below. Simulation -Optimization Approach The simulation -optimization approach is a widely used technique to provide optimal solutions for complex water supply systems. In a simulation -optimization approach, the simulation model is linked with an optimization technique to determine the model decision variables that best represent the expected or observed data. A key element of the simulation -optimization approach is the ability to link to a specific model application to provide predicted system performance feedback for a chosen set of decision variables. CH2M has developed a number of application interfaces to support application of the optimization tools on a variety of systems through simulation tools, such as: Optimization Algorithms Optimization methods can be classified based on different criteria, such as solution procedure and problem complexity. Based on the solution procedure, optimization methods can be grouped into direct • Simulation - Optimization Approach Inputs -1 Optimization Algorithm Simulation Model Communication Link MBWu3l2 vF '.i The simulation -optimization approach determines the model derision variables that best represent existing or anticipated data for optimizing the water suppiysystem. methods (linear) and indirect methods based on an educated trial -error procedure. CH2M's Optimization Toolkit includes two indirect heuristic optimization methods: Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm (SFLA) and Genetic Algorithms (GA). Both of these methods have been applied to water distribution systems and differ in the following ways: • Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm. The SFLA method relies on elements of local and global search across the range of alternatives to find the optimal solution. It works by dividing the solution set into smaller subsets and performing local searches within each subset. Periodically the search is shuffled so the solution seeker ("frog") is reorganized into a different subset to continue the search. The algorithm is designed in such a way that the "frogs" share information with each other and, hence, influence each other's path of convergence to the optimal solution. SFLA has been used effectively to solve groundwater model calibrations as well as distribution system design problems. • GeneticAlgorithms. Genetic algorithms use techniques inspired by evolutionary biology, such as inheritance, mutation, selection, and crossover (also called recombination). Genetic algorithms are implemented in optimization models so that an alternative, which is initially randomly selected, is CH2M Water and Wastewater Services refined to "evolve" to the optimal solution. The process works by randomly selecting a 'solution" from a subset of alternatives, checking its fitness using pre- defined criteria against other alternatives, generating a different subset of alternatives based on the results of the previous subset, and repeating the process to arrive at the optimal solution. The algorithm generates subsets randomly and is designed so that it does not converge to localized solutions, in the same way that local minimums and maximums could influencea minimization/maximization algorithm. Water System Optimization CH2M has developed a linkage to the EPANET water distribution system model to apply an optimization algorithm to address system issues. The key components of any optimization should be similar across all applications. The table below summarizes the key elements of the water distribution system optimization process, along with examples relevant to the City's system.

Phase IV—CIP Development The CIP will be developed with a 20 -year planning horizon and on a 5 -year cycle with the anticipation that flows, impacts of climate change, and asset renewal will be evaluated as the City moves forward. These impacts on the City's projects will be evaluated and the CIP updated on an annual basis. The CH2M team is experienced in developing CIPs, as demonstrated by the many programs and projects we have presented in Section 2.

Distribution and collection system CIPs also face the challenges of working in an urban environment, where small projects can carry a big impact, higher project volume strains the regulatory permitting agencies, unknown underground conditions delay progress, stakeholder concerns require constant attention, and political intervention can reprioritize efforts. We are greatly encouraged that the challenges relating to CIP planning and prioritization are already being addressed by the City of Miami Beach's policies, procedures, and tools. Our team will build on the City's work and utilize asset management tools and 40 methodologies to develop a prioritized CIP that manages asset life -cycles with an integrated enterprise -wide approach. Use of GIS to Address Challenges in an Urban Environment Carefully coordinated, multi -faceted efforts are required to meet the challenges of an urban CIP. Our CIP development process will leverage advanced GIS tools to facilitate utility coordination, open communication with external CI Ps to leverage synergies on other construction projects, program reports to maintain knowledge and awareness of local elected officials, and stakeholder outreach to identify and mitigate temporary construction impacts. Robust program controls, often with a GIS interface, are necessary to manage schedule, budget and risk of multiple smaller projects as well as to easily reportto GIS Route Evaluation 1 ARV, IMMO, • an..t,..n<, • Slam A kir9,M •ixwrwrenmw Arnu•!kv ■'Ttif34 and t "rin untr aan•DOe The route evaluation CH2M performed for WASD`s OOL Program illustrates the multi -criteria selection process that CH2M will apply to development of Miami Beach's CIP, CH2M Water and Wastewater Services stakeholders on geographic distribution, schedule of future work and assure financial accountability. These and other processes and tools have been honed by our team on urban water and wastewater CIP programs worldwide in places like Miami. Ft. Lauderdale, Chicago, New York City, Omaha, Baton Rouge, Puerto Rico, and Las Vegas. Integration of Climate Resilience into CIP Projects The CH2M team has extensive experience in developing smart, multi -criteria decision support analysis methodologies and tools, including climate hazards in support of water and wastewater master plans and CI Ps. Our combined cost- and risk-based approach and implementation focus will improve the overall value of the City's investment, including maximizing the economic, environmental, and social benefits. With our team's understanding of the City's current climate change initiatives and previous resilience work through Climate Resilience Expert Jason Bird, we are prepared to support the City in integrating these various efforts in an integrated approach to CIP derision support and investment. Also, by building on the previous resilience planning efforts and understanding of the City's water and wastewater system vulnerabilities and opportunities, the CH2M team is positioned to refine and prioritize the City's near-term utility needs and to develop a plan for mid- and long-term implementation of utility improvements. The CH2M team is in the process of developing climate - based implementation plans for the Miami -Dade County's wastewater system to reduce the system's vulnerabilities and to guide future investment. CH2M's extensive dimate analysis and rainfall projection work performed for WASD's OOL Program, led by Climate Resilience Lead Laurens van der Tak, are directly applicable to Miami Beach and will expedite verification of the climate silence and related hazards for your water and wastewater systems. CH2M will begin this work with a review of the Southeast Florida Climate Com pact RCAP, SLR projections, and implementation guidance, along with climate hazard scenarios and related guidance developed for the City's Resilience Program. This information will be coupled with the latest developments from the City's Flood Mitigation UNIFIED SEM2VEL IyIp1EC I0N sp)D4EFA F10I ` 315 MBW_v1 Southeast Florida Climate Change Compact guidelines, SLR projections, and climate hazard scenarios will be incorporated into the decision support metrics developed to prioritize the City's projects. Program and its other capital projects to develop and validate the dimate science scenarios and decision support metrics used to select and prioritize the City's water and wastewater projects. With a focus of supporting the City's ongoing flood mitigation efforts, local growth and redevelopment projects, and near-term asset vulnerabilities, we will develop the decision support methodology, using the previously selected metrics and economic and social metrics for maximum benefit. CH2M will also leverage its tools and experience, with an emphasis on integration with existing City systems, induding asset management, data management, and GIS, for ease of use by the City. The CH2M team also understands the City's interest in linking various asset management software and programs to enhance its ability to easily track all improvement projects underway and planned by the City to limit disruption to traffic and utility services and to reduce overall construction costs while maintaining the intended LOS. CH2M has developed web -based applications and GIS interfaces for other water and wastewater utilities for that specific purpose. Integration of Conservation Strategies into CIP Projects Part of a comprehensive and integrated approach to managing the City's water and wastewater systems is understanding current use patterns and identifying opportunities to conserve and reuse. In addition to being aligned with the City's new Sustainability Ordinance, our project approach provides numerous benefits to the City and the region, induding reducing the impact on limited Keep Miami Beach Rising Above • water supplies, reducing the need for increased capacity in water conveyance and storage systems, reducing energy consumption for pum ping and treatment, reducing the volume of wastewater created and discharged to the natural environment, and ultimately reduce the costs paid by its utility customers. Water conservation programs are also important to consider as changes in flows affect system hydraulics, which could impact water quality and require changes to testing and flushing schedules. The management of supply and demand through distribution system enhancements and pressure, along with wastewater collection system performance, could also be affected by the changes in flows resulting from a City-wide water conservation program. Thus, it is important that these potential scenarios are thoroughly evaluated to identify any unintended consequences and to ensure that all systems operate as intended and that safe water supply and wastewater collection services are available to all City customers. To supplement LEED certification and assist the City in further reducing water consumption and the associated embedded energy, which also lowers its overall carbon footprint, additional policies and programs could be implemented. These programs could further incentivize additional water conservation and reuse and might include fixture rebate programs, cistern programs, water conservation and reuse education campaigns, landscape irrigation best management practice requirements, and tiered rate structures. A review of existing and potential future potential water conservation strategies will be performed to understand the range of possible water supply system scenarios that could be incorporated into the hydraulic model and the CIP project evaluation process. This comprehensive understanding will promotea better understanding of system operations and the implications of potential future policies to further reduce the impacts on the region's limited natural resources. CIP Project Prioritization To address the competition for capital dollars within the City's organization, our Planning/CIP Lead Jaason Englesmith will work with the City and our management team to perform a CIP prioritization based on utility - specific goals and values. This effort will optimize the timing of the individual projects comprising the water and wastewater CI Ps based on how they rank within the `G The integration of water conservation strategies into CIP development will reduce theimpacts on the cty's limited natural resources. City's overall CIP portfolio. This evaluation will consist of the following activities: • Conduct an initial criteria and weighting workshop to establish "scoring" criteria aligned to the City's values and goals. • Populate the dedsion analysis tod with future capital projects representing other investment requirements for the City. • Conduct a scoring workshop to identify the weighted benefits of each project. We will use a unique decision analysis tool called the TACT Strategic Platform to address non -monetary factors to the degree the City desires—more. less. or equal to engineering, financial, and regulatory drivers. The result of this effort is a prioritized list of projects, as well as a scatter plot of project cost against weighted benefit, identifying the most critical projects that are likely to be funded first. CIP and Master Plan Implementation The CH2M team will develop a practical, flexible CIP Implementation Plan for the City, with a roadmap for the future defined and supported by technical and economic analyses and community considerations. The optimal CIP Implementation Plan is not only affordable—it must be implemented in a manner that balances limited resources across the City's organization, ensuring the program is delivered in a holistic yet incremental manner. Development of the CIP implementation plan could run concurrent with the water and wastewater master plan to serve as a guidance tool for the immediate, near- term, mid-term and long-term implementation of capital projects—in some cases well beyond the 20 -year CIP, based on asset life cycles. Project prioritization, system LOS, and decision support metrics will be clearly stated to ensure continued compliance and future adjustment as the water and wastewater systems and City priorities evolve.

The Scheduler is a compression algorithm that optimizes project timing and sequencing based on funding options, while maintaining individual project duration and predecessor relationships. The first option is the source of funds, and The Scheduler selects between such funding sources as cash, State Revolving Funds (SRF), and bonds to minimize total debt service. The second option is the start date for projects, and The Scheduler selects the start date based on affordability (meeting coverage and liquidity tests without exceeding the maximum rate threshold in any year) to minimize total CIP duration. The Scheduler has proven valuable on system -wide programs, such as the City of San Mateo's Clean Water Program. For San Mateo, The Scheduler defined the timing and sequencing of about 100 individual projects that compose the program.

If desired, The Scheduler can also integrate the City's CIP projects with other City projects, such as stormwater and roadways. By applying CIP prioritization to understand the com petition for funding, using TACT to support strategic decisions throughout project development, and leveraging the functionality of The Scheduler to optimize project timing and sequencing, CH2M will create a defensible, implementable, and affordable long-range CIP for the City of Miami Beach, eliminating many of the traditional hurdles to success.

Keep Miami Beach Rising Above Public Outreach Support Keeping the Miami Beach's public and stakeholders aware of its CIP and providing them with information, resources, and opportunities to be involved is a fundamental requirement of large. successful municipal programs, espedally when those programs rely on a special tax or bond sales to fund them. The City of Miami Beach, under the leadership of the current Mayor, City Council, and department heads, has been working hard at communicating about the ongoing flood mitigation program and demonstrating how its roadway and stormwater enhancements are reducing flood risks. Similarly, the City has been promoting additional flood awareness and resilience initiatives through the Miami Beach Rise Above campaign and website. This program is uniquely challenging in that a clear understanding of the climate scenarios, future SLR projections, and related flood hazards is extremely important to communicate in advance of releasing inundation mapping. By engaging the public and stakeholders, the City has garnered significant support for the Flood Mitigation Program, increased stormwater utility rates, and related initiatives that would not be possible without this type of support. Our Public Outreach Lead Didier Menard is prepared to work with the City and other key team members to provide water and wastewater CIP informational materials and to support the City, as needed, during public meetings. By being proactive and providing CI P information via an easily accessible website with interactive maps, FAQs and other resources, many concerns and questions otherwise routed to the City Council and Mayor can be avoided, City Communications Keep Stakeholders Well Informed • O The City of Miami Beach has done an excellent job of keeping the community informed on climate resiliency efforts. The CH2M team will work with the City to build on these efforts. reducing staff time and keeping projects on schedule. By leveraging the City's existing public outreach tools, such as the Miami Beach Resident Connect system, real time information about road closures, project updates and public open houses can be provided to keep all stakeholders informed throughout the project planning, design, and implementation phases. Alignment with other initiatives will be another key element of the CIP public outreach campaign. For example, the flood mitigation program and resilience planning programs have been aligned with the NFIP CRS program to provide additional credits towards the reduction offload insurance premiums. Continuing to integrate planning, design, and CIP investment decisions while considering multiple co-benefits—including economic, environmental, and social—will ensure the City continues to provide the LOS expected to maintain Miami Beach's high quality of life while advancing on the path to a truly resilient dty. CH2M can provide a broad array of services to support the City's ongoing public communication efforts. CH2M Water and Wastewater Services Design Phase Services We will work with the City to establish a unifying set of design standards for the water and wastewater projects, ensuring consistency and quality throughout the design process. Applicable Clean Water Act, National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permits, FDEP regulations, Miami -Dade County environmental codes, Miami -Dade County building standards, and other required regulatory requirements will also be incorporated into the design standards. Our regulatory knowledge and experience allows our team to provide the full range of permitting services for the City's water and wastewater projects, as needed. Climate -resilient features, such as elevating equipment, water proofing buildings, and replacing traditional pumps with submersible pumps, will also be factored into the design process. Expansion of WASD's SDWWTP Oxygen Production Facility is an excellent example of CH2M's facility hardening design services. During project design, our engineers will employ the following design process: Phase 1—Project Definition. The goal of the project definition task is to develop a vision of the end - product, including a clear understanding and statement of required performance, with defined measures and evaluation criteria. The deliverable for this task is a project definition package that contains the project purpose, mission, and success factors; definition of external constraints; documentation of site conditions; and evaluation of water treatment or other design alternatives. . Phase 2—Preliminary Design. The 30 percent design will incorporate the information gained during the process evaluation and further develop and finalize the basis of design for all the disciplines. The culmination of preliminary design is the basis of design report, which captures the outcomes of the pre -design activities and, in comprehensive detail, establishes the parameters for detailed design. - Phase 3—Detailed Design. During detailed design, CH2M engineers will build on the major criteria, concepts, and standards established during preliminary design. Detailed design will not begin until the basis of design is fully endorsed by key stakeholders, and it will include two formal, intermediate reviews at 60 and 90 percent completion. The use of 3D design will facilitate the review process, allowing key concepts and City directions to be firmly established before further development of the detailed design documents. A key component of CH2M's program management services is our ability to successfully incorporate constructability, value engineering, and operability enhancements that improve project performance, maximize scope, ensure safe work practices, and ultimately deliver projects for less cost. As an example, CH2M performed a peer review to evaluate the analysis and recommendations of the components comprising improvements for the City of Baton Rouge's program, as described in Section 2, Experience and Qualifications. We assembled a review team of experts to review available documents and reports, conduct a preliminary evaluation of Schematic Design: Compressor Building &Electrical Building —Iterative process identified most ruble concepts to arty forward —3D visuatiration made it easier to obtain WASD's endorsement Our design guide for Miami -Dade s OOL Program describesin detail mitigation and adaption designs for utility infrastructure, which can be adapted for thecty's projects.

From this review, we recommended several changes to the proposed program that saved the City of Baton Rouge millions of dollars in program costs. Procurement Phase Services Implementing an effective procurement system for a complex infrastructure program requires an understanding of the wide spectrum of proven procurement and contracting methods, and accompanying insight as to how varying methods align with project needs and risk allocation. CH2M is experienced in all potential delivery platforms, including design -build, progressive design -build, and construction management at -risk, and will work with the City to thoroughly evaluate design -build on a project - specific basis. We can also issue and manage RFQs/ RFPs for selecting design -build contractors and soliciting lump sum bids from contractors, and can evaluate and negotiate design -build proposals and contractor lump sum bids. Construction Management Services Our team's approach to providing field construction management services is based upon proven experience and procedures used on construction programs throughout the world. The Construction Management Plan (CMP) will contain the procedures and operational requirements for managing construction of the City's projects. The CM P will be used by construction management, resident engineering and inspection, and Significant cost avoidance as issues are addressed in the design phase and "on paper versus in the field during the costliest construction phase Operations staff are in tune with the schedule and prepared for any potential construction impacts on operations Critical systems and facilities remain operational during construction to prevent any regulatory violations; quality impacts, i or major interruptions in service office engineering personnel to guide their day-to-day activities. The major elements of the CMP consist of procedures for construction contract administration, project records and documentation, safety management, change orders, claims avoidance, quality assurance, inspection, progress schedules, shop drawing management, transmittals, as -built records, updating and processing, and project startup/close-out. Management Plan At CH2M, the foundation for how we manage project budgets, schedules, and quality is based upon the principles of quality management. Quality management is not just a process at CH2M—it is the foundation of our culture. Every employee is empowered to be responsible for the quality of their own work, as well as the work they supervise. We apply an effective, efficient, and auditable quality management approach to all project work, based on the CH2M Quality Management System (QMS), which is compliant with ISO 9001.Our QMS is based on: • People: The right people for the job, trained, qualified, and committed to quality—as demonstrated by the project team we have developed for your project. • Process: Proven quality control processes and procedures, with frequent monitoring and verification for change management. • Performance: Continuous quality improvement throughout project delivery, applying lessons learned. CH2M Water and Wastewater Services A clearly defined project organization, coupled with of CHZ11�' effective project management and communication with QS S the City of Miami Beach throughout the project, e to Q d ensures that all of us are working towards a common goal. These principles will be put into practice to ensure the success of the following tasks: • Develop the City's Role—At the outset of the project, we will obtain a dear understanding of the City's needs and expectations. The role of the City will be delineated and specific areas where the City's involvement is crucial will be identified. • Develop Project Schedule—At the onset of the project a schedule will be developed to meet the needs and requirements of the project including identified milestones, coordination with other ongoing projects, and funding requirements. • Create Project Management Plan—Project Manager Juan Aceituno will lead the effort to develop a Project Management Plan (PMP), which will outline the project requirements for schedule control, cost control, communication protocols, document control and records management, and managing change and health and safety. • Ensure Quality Control—Our project manager will also be responsible for deliveringa project to the City that meets or exceeds your quality expectations. Development of the City's Role One of the hallmarks of CH2M's management style is to collaborate with dients, subconsultants, contractors, and other project stakeholders. Our project management approach promotes a collaborative working relationship with City staff and other team members through our use of regular meetings and other regular communications. We will work closely with the City staff to plan, coordinate, review, and validate the fi ndings and recommendations of our facility assessment and CIP development and implementation efforts. Execution of the fieldwork and associated City coordination will be intensive at times. Our highly collaborative approach will keep all parties apprised of critical findings and project activities. People °L° 1I/ ,sem► II AIL Performance The City's role and level of involvement will be established during the project kickoff meeting and documented in the PMP. We envision that the City will 44_ ot, Process A management plan based on principles of continuous quality improvement will deliver a technically superior project within schedule and budget. participate in the following activities. • Progress meetings • Development of CIP project scoring criteria and weights for project prioritization • Design reviews • Other project meetings Project Management Plan Project Manager Juan Aceituno will develop a PMP based on the agreed upon scope of work (SOW) and the requirements established in our Quality Management Plan (QMP). The PMP will be a live working document that establishes dear operating expectations and that defines the scope of work, staff responsibilities, schedule control, cost forecasting, document management, change management, and the QMP. The PMP will also be shared with the City. Schedule Control CH2M recognizes the importance of meeting established schedules and has a reputation for consistently completing work on or ahead of schedule. Ata minimum, Keep Miami Beach Rising Above Project Manager Juan Aceituno will review all resource - loaded schedules monthly to compare the baseline schedule with actual progress. Particular attention will be paid to tasks along each project's critical path. By reviewing the schedule on a monthly basis, we will be able to track the process of the project, identify any schedule variances, and develop options to mitigate those variances to ensure all milestones are met. A schedule update will be provided to the City monthly at progress meetings. Any potential schedule impacts, including changes requested by the City, will be communicated early to obtain their resolution. As the project continues, adjustments to project tasks may potentially affect the project schedule. To minimize these effects, our project manager will rely on the assistance of our Principal -in -Charge Matt Alvarez. If additional manpower is needed, Matt is authorized to find available staff with the right skillset, allowing the project to continue to meet its milestone targets. Cost Control Controlling project costs in a professional, responsible manner is emphasized within CH2M. As part of the PMP, a Project Controls Plan will be created and followed and our project manager will provide percentage complete estimates based on scope tasks and deliverable status every month for progress monitoring. Our project manager will also use CH2M's Forecaster tool to monitor project -to -date costs and to forecast future costs to project completion on a monthly basis. This invaluable tool will allow our project manager to keep each individual task on schedule, as well as quantify the potential impact a requested change to the scope or schedule would have on project cost. Communication Protocols Information flow during project delivery of will occur at multiple levels arid fora variety of purposes, depending on the activity and the nature of the task. A key role of our project manager is to facilitate effective internal and external project communications through development of a Project Communications Plan, which will identify specific communication needs for information flow and how communication will be coordinated for each task. As part of the PMP, the Project Communications Plan will provide the framework for communications among all project stakeholders—including the City, our project manager and technical leads—by providing contact information for all project stakeholders, basic guidelines for conducting and documenting intemal and external project communications, and guidelines for scheduling, conducting, and documenting project progress meetings with the the City . Project meetings, workshops, periodic coordination calls, recorded notes, and regular emails will all be used to keep City staff, CH2M team members, and other stakeholders apprised of project progress during facility evaluation development and CIP implementation.

The procedures for managing documents, including existing information, field data, project management files, and deliverables, will be identified in the Document Management Plan portion of the PMP. Project documents will include the following types of information: • Project management plan • Workshop/meeting materials and minutes • Coordination schedules • Task schedules and budget • Technical memorandums • List of available reference documents Managing Change Change is an inevitable part of the project delivery process. Therefore, change management is an essential part of our project management process. As part of the PMP, a Change Management Plan will be created to establish the procedure for addressing changes. The changed condition will be identified, the impact of the change on project costs and schedule will be determined, and options for mitigating the change will be developed and selected. With this information, our project manager can work with the City to implement the change and to formally modify the project scope, schedule, and budget as necessary. Also, because change can impact the technical quality of a project, it is important that quality control (QC) reviewers review the changes for acceptability, as appropriate. Health and Safety All CH2M projects involving field work have a written Health, Safety, Security and Environmental Plan (HSSE). The HSSE plan identifies project activities, evaluates hazards associated with those activities, and describes the controls required to protect personnel health and safety as well as the environment. CH2M's HSSE plans are based on the tenets of our Target Zero Health and Safety Program, which routinely outperforms the industry in minimizing workplace accidents. Our project manager is responsible for HSSE, and will update the HSSE Plan with any new information prior to and after project start up. All CH2M employees working on the project are required to be familiar with the I{eep Miami Beach Rising Above CH2M OUTPERFORMS THE INDUSTRY AVERAGE IN SAFETY 1 s CH2M Enterprise - Employee Incident Rates _MTRR BLS intlustry Average TRR C He' MDART BLS industry Average DART 1 25 000 2006 2007 2005 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 requirements of the HSSE Plan, to perform the duties assigned to them, and to com ply with all HSSE project requirements. Ensure Quality Control QA/QC are key elements of CH2M's firm -wide project delivery process and are embodied in all aspects of our work and our firm's culture. The QMP developed for the City of Miami Beach will identify who will review deliverables, when reviews will be conducted, and the budget for reviews. All of our project team members will be educated in—and be required to adhere to—the QMP throughout project delivery. The best way to produce quality work for the least cost is to do the work right the first time. With the QMP in place, we will monitor, verify, and document quality using our project management, cost control, and document control tools. We will follow the framework detailed in the QMP that addresses the following: • Data management, including procedures for obtaining, reviewing, storing, and sharing data a Procedures for quality reviews of deliverables prior to submittal to the City • Procedures for responding to the City review comments on project deliverables • Templates for all deliverables to the City, including technical memoranda and project designs • Procedures for updating and sharing the project schedule Procedures for training project staff Before work is delivered to the City, it is reviewed to confirm that it meets the industry standard of care as well as the City's project -specific goals. Our QC reviewers will be selected on a project -by -project basis and will have extensive experience in relevant disciplines. They will not be involved in day-to-day project execution so that they can provide an objective QC review of the projects. As an overall objective, all work on the project, regardless of the specific entity conducting the work, will be developed and delivered in cooperation with our QC reviewers, and all deliverables, calculations, and analyses will be reviewed or checked. A PROJECT QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN ENSURES WORK GETS DONE RIGHT THE FIRST TIME • Specifies quality objectives, performance measures, and standards • Defines each team member's role and responsibilities • Involves the appropriate technical staff from the very beginning • Identifies who will provide guidance and assess the work • Clarifying quality control measures for work review • Requires that all deliverables be reviewed by a qualified technical reviewer before submittal • Defines customer feedback and service guidelines CH2M Water and Wastewater Services Juan F.

What We Do: Implementation of water and wastewater CIP projects, staff augmentation, processes and tools development, and master planning to support the Public Works Department (PWD). Contract Tenure: 2013 through 2020 Contract Value: $150 million (constructed value) Agency Contact Emran Rahaman, Assistant Public Works Director, 954-894-1060, emranrahaman@semtribe.com Project Profile The STOF PWD protects the Tribal Community's health and safety and environmental resources by maintaining reliable, efficient, and effective water and sewer utility services to the Tribal Members, residences, enterprises, and other facilities. The PWD's Vision is to be recognized as "an industry leader who is distinguished for their professionalism, responsiveness, reliability, environmental stewardship, sustainable solutions, fiscal responsibility and caring attention extended to every individual they encounter." In support of that vision, PWD established the PWD Infrastructure Program . This $150 million, 5 -Year CIP is composed of 58 projects to update, modernize, and expand potable water, sanitary sewer, and reclaimed water infrastructure. CH2M is managing this program using the stage -gate process, which is helping improve relationships and communications among all program participants, while documenting the implementation of projects. The program started with the initiation of several Immediate Action projects in FY 2012. The immediate action projects were selected to address safety issues, streamline operations, improve water quality, increase treatment capacity to support future growth, define future improvements at key facilities, and provide Master Planning for SCADA. In addition to the immediate -action projects that were initiated to address high-priority operational needs, the PWD has conducted yearly department -wide needs assessment of plants and facilities. The PWD Infrastructure Program is repairing and improving the facilities that serve the Seminole Tribe of Florida, through a structured and standardized program delivery strategy. CI -12M is providing delivery resources, processes and tools, and capital planning to deliver projects with a Keep Miami Beach Rising Above transparent, defensible, and prioritized plan focused on accountability. As part of this infrastructure program, PWD designated the Program Validation and CIP Development to assess and validate the current state of PWD systems and facilities and to develop the 5 -year CIP using a rigorous methodology for making defensible capital and operational investment decisions. The following key utility goals served as the basis of the processes that were implemented in support of the CIP development: • Protection of health and safety of the Tribal community and STOF employees • Maintenance of prior infrastructure investments • Maximization of Tribal resources • Compliance with mandates and prior commitments • Provide for the sustainable future and growth of the Tribal community • Improve the reliability of the existing utility Each reservation brought unique challenges to the CIP development because of differences in population, growth projections, business enterprises, location, existing water supplies, and condition of existing facilities.

We developed a SCADA Master Plan for a system that supports the operation of multiple water treatment plants, wastewater treatment plants, water distributions systems, and wastewater collection systems. the list of necessary projects. After finalizing the list of projects, a Risk Assessment and Prioritization Workshop was held as part of a structured decision- making process. This prioritization process used clear goals and decision criteria as part of a multi - attribute mathematical analysis approach. During the Risk Assessment and Prioritization Workshop, the CIP list development team defined the measures to evaluate projects, used a project prioritization model to score each project, and determined cost/benefit relationships to weigh tradeoffs between projects. Several master plans were developed in FY 2013 for the water (WTP) and wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), solid waste management, and SCADA controls systems. These master plans provide information and analysis necessary for the Tribal Community's infrastructure Tong -term planning using a phased approach. This planning methodology ensures that operational and capital costs are commensurate with the forecasted Tribal growth and needs. The CIP and master plans will be regularly updated to reflect changes in service demands, infrastructure condition, emerging goals, and priorities. Several immediate action projects were initiated as part of the Infrastructure Program to address high priority operational needs, conduct a PWD -wide needs assessment of plants and facilities to develop a prioritized 5 -year capital improvement plan, identify the current and future funding needs to maintain the Tribe's infrastructure investment, and implement a delivery platform to manage the PWD Infrastructure Program to maintain a high level of water and sewer utility service for the Seminole Tribe of Florida. or CH2M Water and Wastewater Services Projects will be delivered under this CIPusing design -bid -build, construction management at -risk (CMAR), progressive design build, and lump sump design build delivery models Client relationship strengthened through collaborative innovation and creative deployment of CH2M Program Management Framework • Chartering outcomes were combined with maturity model assessment to create a plan to build an innovative Program Delivery Platform. We built the delivery platform around the stage -gate process to help the client's staff understand the phases of a project and the importance of developing plans and documenting decisions. In the standard Program Delivery Platform, stage gate processes are in the design and construction functions. Using this dynamic delivery model, PWD can deliver the projects and maintain a high level of infrastructure service for the STOF with a transparent, defensible, and prioritized plan focused on accountability. • Built into program delivery platform is the project execution plan (PXP), which is progressively developed over the course of a project. The PXP starts as the basis of design and project instructions document and ultimately becomes the project's record of decision. Project information and decisions are added to the document as they arise. which keeps instructions current, allows the project team to find everything Measures of Success they need in one place, and eliminates duplicate or redundant work. • Developed multiple master plans to assist in a phased -approach, long-term planning to assure that operational and capital costs are proportionate with the Tribal growth and needs. • Helped PWD win several industry awards and build relationships with other Tribal Departments. • Helped strengthen interfaces by working with the Transportation Department to build a relationship with the Miccosukee Tribe to secure a Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan from the federal government. We led a delegation to Washington DC to pave the way for STOF to receive the first- ever TIFIA loan to be given to a native tribe. • Helped PWD create a transparent contracting mechanism to further support their vision to be fiscally responsible and good stewards of the Tribe's resources. The stage -gate and progressive -build PXP platform was the fi rst of its kind, but will become an industry-leading standard because of its utility and efficiency, and the multiple other benefits it provides to clients. 1 Keep Miami Beach Rising Above to Cudjoe Regional Wastewater System CIP, Florida Keys Aqueduct Authority, Florida • RELEVANCE TO MIAMI BEACH ✓ South Florida CIP Development and Implementation / Extensive Wastewater Collection and Transmission Improvements ✓ Implementation of Conveyance and Asset Management Best Practices A series of wastewater CIP projects was developed with FKAA to improve the Florida Key's wastewater infrastructure, comply with regulatory compliance requirements, and meet the demands of a growing population and mandated water quality improvements.

Florida RELEVANCE TO MIAMI BEACH v Extensive Water and Wastewater Pipeline Rehabilitation in a Busy Metro Area v Extensive Public Outreach Program to Mitigate Construction Impacts Tampa's UCAP program addressed water and wastewater conveyance and pumping issues in the busy downtown area using a unique three -tiered delivery approach. What We Do: Program management, design, design - build delivery Contract Tenure: 2007 to 2016 ContractValue: $250 million (constructed value) Agency Contact: Mike Chucran, Director of Contract Administration, 813-274-8568, Michael.Chucran@tampagov.net Project Profile The City of Tampa's UCAP $250M CIP program involves the management and coordination of multiple city-wide projects using the Primavera suite of tools to maximize efficiency, reduce cost, reduce construction time, and minimize neighborhood impacts. The UCAP projects are essential as the City strives to serve redevelopment; replace aging water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure; and expand its reclaimed water program. CH2M served in a unique position as the overall program manager (Tier 1 contract), designer (Tier 2 contract), and builder (Tier 3 contract). CH2M was responsible for the management, coordination, and delivery of multiple city-wide projects involving extensive water and sewer pipeline rehabilitation and replacement, much of it in downtown Tampa. Because timing was essential, the City elected to employ the design -build method of delivery for this program. CH2M served as the overall program manager, design manager, and construction manager at - risk. As each new project assignment was received, a separate scope of services and associated fees was negotiated with the City. Once design was complete, the team had the option to deliver the projects internally, or by subcontracting specific work packages to one of six pre -qualified local construction firms. A guaranteed maximum price for each project was negotiated with City for the construction phase of work. Early integration of construction staff in the design phase assure budgetgoals are met. CH2M's cost control approach is based on the most important budget impacts occurring prior to construction. Development of progressively refined estimates, early subcontractor and vendor procurement, and establishing an initial project schedule that accurately reflects the scope of work have the greatest impact in controlling project costs. To ensure the City of Tampa would have adequate funds at various times throughout the project, CH2M dearly identified Tier 1, 2, and 3 costs as a function of the project schedule.

What We Do: Development of improvements to address sewer system overflows, taking into account projected climate change impacts Contract Tenure: 2016 to 2018 Contract Value: $3.2 million Agency Contact Carlos Frye, Project Manager, 727-892-5380, Carlos.frye@stpete.org Project Profile For many years, the City of St. Petersburg has been impacted by wet weather overflows in its sewer system, creating runoff that impacts local water bodies. The City's Wet Weather Overflow Program is being delivered in two phases, and CH2M has been responsible for managing both efforts: • Phase I. The Phase I study concluded that improvements to the wastewater reclamation facilities (WRFs) are the most cost-effective solution to mitigating potential future overflows and that collection system rehabilitation for infiltration/inflow (1/1)removal should be performed system -wide to reduce wet weather flows, ensuring wet weather flows do not increase over time. • Phase II. Phase 11, which is ongoing, includes a large- scale flow monitoring effort, update of the collection system model, a capacity analysis of the collection system using the updated model, and prioritization of sewer basins for elimination of I/I. To date, CH2M has completed the following key services under the program: Preliminary 1/I Characterization. Using available data, CH2M quantified the approximate amount of 1/I entering the collection system and reaching each of the City's three WRFs. Based on these estimates, the cost of sewer rehabilitation work and a series of detailed assumptions developed through our project experience, CH2M developed budgetary cost curves for incremental removal of I/1 from the collection system to lower peak flows at the WRFs. Model Assessment. During Phase II, CH2M reviewed the City's current wastewater collection system model for its accuracy in representing sewer response to wet weather events and updated the model to meet industry standards. Alternatives Analysis. Using hydraulic models developed for each WRF, CH2M developed options for incrementally increasing the treatment capacity at each WRF, which were plotted on their own cost curves. The WRF improvement cost curves and the cost curves generated for the I/1 reduction were then compared to identify the most cost effective solution or combination of solutions to mitigate potential future overflows. Flow Monitoring. During Phase 11, CH2M's completed a large-scale flow monitoring program, which consisted of the deployment of 91 flow monitors throughout the City's service area to identify the primary sources of I/I in the collection system and to update the collection system model. The monitoring program included evaluation of impacts of tide and sea level rise on groundwater levels. Phase 11 will also include developing climate change estimates of future rainfall.

What We Did: Identified critical system thresholds, vulnerabilities, and design standards for the development of cost-effective and sustainable solutions Contract Tenure: 2011 to 2013 Contract Value: $1.3 million Agency Contact Alan Cohn, NYCDEP Director, 718-595-4536, AIanC@dep.nyc.gov Project Profile The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYCDEP) selected CH2M in ajoint venture to develop and execute a plan to study and address impacts on New York City's wastewater infrastructure, including population growth, global climate change, and SLR. The JV assisted NYCDEP in developing an adaptation and optimization strategy for development of a city-wide framework for climate change adaptation actions that may be vulnerable to flooding impacts undercurrent and future conditions. The JV used the work of the New York Panel on Climate Change (NPCC) to formulate scenarios of future sea level, storm surge, rainfall, and temperature to identify potential system vulnerabilities and to develop adaptation responses. CH2M conferred with members of the NPCC technical team at Columbia University and other institutions to ensure the appropriate use of the NPCC data. Hydrodynamic modeling of the East River with MIKE - 21 and InfoWorks modeling of the Tallman Island and Bowery Bay service areas under present day and future conditions was used to identify potential future impacts and to develop adaptation strategies designed to maintain levels of service. Critical system thresholds and vulnerabilities were identified with cost-effective, environmentally sustainable solutions. Options appraised include a full range of green and grey infrastructure options. Specific recommendations were made to address local flooding and wet weather management, plus a framework for the development and implementation of the findings citywide. This provided the necessary information for the NYCDEP to incorporate future environmental considerations into its decision-making processes. Following Hurricane Sandy in 2012, the JV was tasked with performing an asset -by -asset analysis of wastewater collection and treatment infrastructure to identify those assets at -risk for flooding due to storm surge and SLR through the next4Oyears. CH2M evaluated flooding risks for all 96 wastewater pump stations, with detailed analyses of 58 at -risk pump stations. Cost-effective protective measures, such as elevating equipment, water proofing buildings, and replacing traditional pum ps with submersible pumps were then selected based upon cost and level of risk reduction. The result is a prioritized portfolio of strategies that will be implemented as part of future capital projects.

The goals of the Contract Value: $1.65 billion (constructed value) • Project Profile CH2M has been program manager for implementation of the City of Baton Rouge/ East Baton Rouge Parish's $1.65 billion Sanitary CH2M Water and Wastewater Services program are to rehabilitate the collection systems, increase the hydraulic capacity of the collection systems, to reduce excess wet weather flows that cause SSOs, to comply with the South WWTP National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, and to comply with the terms of the Consent Decree. The improvements include 115 projects in three program types: sewer rehabilitation ($210 million); capacity improvements ($680 million); and wastewater treatment and flow equalization improvements ($370 million). Through 32 separate rehabilitation projects. approximately 1.200 miles of gravity sewer and over 28.000 manholes will be inspected and rehabilitated where needed. Defects such as collapsed pipe sections and leaking manholes will be corrected by local engineers and contractors hired to complete the work. The improvements will also reduce inflow and infiltration, limiting a source of wet weather SSOs. Sewer system modeling identified the area's most in need of rehabilitation due to excessive inflow and infiltration. Capacity improvements will be undertaken through 66 projects that will address lack of adequate capacity in existing sewers. Capacity upgrades will be undertaken in approximately 180 miles of force or gravity sewer and at160 pumping stations. The capacity upgrades were determined utilizing the InfoWorksTm hydraulic model of the system, with the system modeled for future flows at the Consent Decree mandated 2 -year, 12 -hour storm event. As part of this program, the City/Parish is also consolidating two WWTPs (Central and South WWTPs) and implementing improvements at the remaining South WWTP, including a new influent pumping station, new equalization tanks, new headworks, new solids contact basins, and new outfall. A total of eleven projects are planned for wastewater treatment and equalization storage. The treatment projects include screening, primary treatment, trickling filter, effluent pumping and sludge improvements at the South WWTP and odor control improvements at the North WWTP. Four projects are being undertaken to equalize system flows and provide storage for over 120 MG of sewage, reducing the need for additional treatment and conveyance improvements. Two are buffer zone projects which create an environmental buffer between the treatment and residential areas. Other projects include the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) Master Plan Project and the Standby Generator Installation for Sewer Lift Stations Project. The hydraulic modeling of the collection system was an important part of determining the wet weather conveyance and treatment approach. Because of the prevalence of storms, the Program is installing over 500 emergency generators at over 480 pump stations throughout the parish to keep wastewater moving to a treatment facility instead of flowing back into homes and businesses. The emergency generators will be managed by the SCADA system that remotely monitors and controls the collection the pump stations as well as the treatment plants.

Dean Fisher. PS, PMP. PMO Division Manager, Orange County Sanitation District Effective Construction Oversight OCSD has always had strong abilities in construction management. IPMC assisted in further developing those capabilities, but mainly we focused on providing staff to handle construction oversight. Early on, the biggest challenge was related to construction schedule oversight, as the District lacked an effective process. CH2M solved the problem by bringing one senior construction scheduler to develop a strong process and standards. In time, with up to seven construction schedulers, IPMC enabled OCSD's success in construction schedule oversight and claims avoidance. This was a significant success factor supporting on- time completion and cost control. CH2M HILL has provided the Orange County Sanitation District with exceptional service and a wealth of technical expertise that minimized overall long-term cost to projects for the planning, design, construction, and start-up of our $2.9 -billion Capital Improvement Program....

Project Profile The City was required to submit a substantially complete LTCP to the Nebraska Department Environmental Quality (NDEQ) by October 2007 and a final LTCP with a construction schedule by October 2009—both dates were met. The City may take up to 15 years to implement identified control projects; however, that time period was increased to 18 years in 2012 as a result of impacts of the 2011 Missouri River Flood. In January 2006, CH2M was hired as the Program Manager for the Omaha Combined Sewer Overflow Long Term Control Plan. This included managing nine basin study teams led by City -selected consultants, and we initiated an accelerated study of the northern downtown area. The planning phase was successfully delivered ahead of schedule and under budget. In 2009 with approval of the LTCP, the role changed to managing and the implementation of the $2.2B capital program. CIP Development During the development of the 2009 LTCP, CH2M worked with the City to coordinate the plan so that it met the needs outlined in an affordability Keep Miami Beach Rising Above analysis developed by a local University. In 2013, the City worked with the University of Cincinnati to develop a more refined affordability analysis. The analysis suggested that the plan developed in 2009 and the anticipated user fees may be too high. As part of this, CH2M led the development of an updated LTCP in 2014. This plan resulted in significant savings; however, it was recognized that the additional work would be required to further reduce costs. As a result, in early 2016, CH2M led a workshop with the City to develop further modifications to the plan. It is believed that we will be able to reduce the cost of the program through modifications to the regulatory strategy and revision of controls by 15 to 25 percent of the $2 billion program. In addition, CH2M will be working with the City, and its affordability consultant, on an Integrated Plan, which will allow projects to be scheduled to meet the City's levels of affordability. Ultimately, successful regulatory negotiations achieved a highly flexible and favorable consent order that only mandated final LTCP submission and a date for completion of the program; no project specific dates are included. The LTCP included assessments of drainage basins and examination of specific problems and solutions in each basin. Uniform criteria have been used to assess solutions, benefits, drawbacks, timeframes, and cost. In 2014, CH2M led the update. Program planning (Phase 1) was successfully delivered ahead of schedule and under budget, and program implementation (Phase 2) is currently on schedule with the original plan. CH2M helps Omaha avoid a court -mandated consent decree, instead negotiating administrative order with liberal "off ramps" In only 9 months, CH2M helped the City avoid a consent decree and negotiate liberal "off ramps" into the sewer administrative order. CH2M helped the City: • Avoid a court -mandated order • Negotiate no interim project dates and reopeners for program changes, such as in water quality standards, costs, inability to obtain contractors, and impacts on the public • Gain approval with no changes, no citations for violations, no penalty payments, and no inclusion of stipulated penalties for possible future violations Omaha's groundbreaking administrative order is being studied extensively and its results presented at conferences around the U.S. Approximately 92 projects were planned for the CSO control program up through 2027; however, as a result of the 2014 LTCP Update, the number of projects was reduced to 74. Total capital cost was at $2.2 billion; however, the CH2M Team has gone through various evaluations that have resulted in a reduction to the program costs of nearly $200 million to a new cost of $2.02 billion. At this point, $117 million in construction has been completed, $274 million in construction is being bid or is in construction, and $95.8 million is in construction. The City has another $295 million of projects that are being reevaluated. Program Update (2016 - 2017) Currently, CH2M is getting started on a new technical evaluation. The objective of this evaluation is to focus on alternatives to adapt LTCP projects to meet regulatory requirements, the City's goals, and community expectations while targeting an overall program cost reduction of 15 to 25 percent. This effort will include feasibility and alternative evaluations primarily within the Minne Lusa and Saddle Creek Basins, but also including other portions of the Missouri River and Papillion Creek Watersheds in Omaha. Planned projects in other basins will also be evaluated to ensure that cost reductions are realized. Over the next 78 months, CH2M v✓rll be providing assistance in the development, irnplementation, and documentation of Omaha's Green Infrastructure Program. incorporation of an incentive program wilt he included The CH2M Team is providing a range of alternatives that could reduce the cost of the Program, along with a list of benefits for each of the alternatives evaluated. The end result will be updated budgetary construction cost estimates with life -cycle costs. This evaluation is anticipated to done in late 2017. Green Infrastructure Solutions CH2M has been providing assistance in the development of a robust Green Infrastructure CH2M Water and Wastewater Services program to improve water quality, reduce stormwater flows in the CSS, and ultimately reduce overall costs for the CSO Program. As part of the development of the Long Term Control Plan (LTCP) in 2006 to 2009, CH2M developed a process to identify potential Green Infrastructure sites within the combined area for inclusion into the LTCP. The Basin Consultants implemented the process and developed possible Green Infrastructure Projects for each Basin. CH2M, working with the City, evaluated the results and developed a list of sites that were included in the LTCP as recommendations to evaluate in greater detail. In addition, CH2M worked with the City to develop a process where each sewer separation project team is required to perform Grey to Green Infrastructure evaluations for the project area to identify potential Green Infrastructure elements that can be incorporated cost effectively. The approach for inclusion of Green Infrastructure in sewer separation projects is documented in a guidance document titled "Omaha Green Solutions Site Suitability Assessment and BMP Selection Process Guidance". The process was developed such that a good faith effort to incorporate Green Infrastructure is a part of every sewer separation project and is considered from the outset of the project. The process requires that the designer show that there The City has been able to reduce costs by approximately $15 million. l J are physical, engineering, or financial justifications for non-inclusion of Green Infrastructure. The elements of the evaluation include local site assessment, review of runoff sources, identify potential BMP controls, technical analysis to quantify the hydrologic and hydraulic impacts of implementation, and an economic analysis to show that it is cost effective. Special Regulatory Requirements Since implementation of the Program, CH2M developed an Environmental Plan, the purpose of which is to ensure compliance with the City's Consent Order and combined sewer overflow permit and to ensure that the projects themselves comply with applicable federal, state, and local regulatory requirements. The Plan lays out a program for addressing interactions with various agency stakeholders. The plan calls for close coordination with agencies to ensure that permits are addressed in timely fashion. It deals with all aspects including impacts on regulatory agencies such as the USACE (208/408 and 404), USFWS, USEPA, Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NPDES, RCRA, CERCLA, AIR) as well as working with railroads and others. • Co -located with City staff in addition to providing staff augmentation services, to enhance communication and productivity, and facilitate expedited schedule delivery • Simultaneously, we developed program controls and Web sites to facilitate project tracking and communications. • Working closely with the City, we launched early action projects and integrated a sustainability strategy into the $1.7 billion capital program, which included measures such as green roofs, bioswales, stormwater reuse, and rain gardens. • Analyzed the existing City of Omaha guidance documents and specifications for performing design and construction activities, and supplemented these Measures of Success documents with new protocols and workflows to clearly document the process and expectations for consultants and City personnel in executing program activities, and a revision of the program Web site. • Upgrading the InfoWorks model to incorporate more detail into the program so that it can better model simulate larger storm events • Assisted the City in conducting a series of stakeholder workshops and public meetings to foster public support and understanding, which contributed to the success of the program Keep Miami Beach Rising Above Southern Delivery Water System, Colorado Springs Utilities, Colorado • RELEVANCE TO MIAMI BEACH V Evaluation of Pipeline Route Alternatives using a Multi -Attribute Decision Process • Comprehensive Pipeline and Pump Station Design ✓ Delivered 5160 Million under the Original $1 Billion Budget • The $840 million Southern Delivery System is a complex conveyance system that provides the region with a "drought proof" water supply.
