This analysis should explain the risk cost of inaction (in dollar terms) and the extent to which the risk cost is likely to be reduced as a result of the city's infrastructure investments (also in dollar terms). Analysis will also consider the complex relationships between the anticipated reduction in risk cost and: • our private property tax base; • flood insurance (both future FEMA models / FIRM maps and private market rates); • the availability and affordability of private property mortgages over mortgage cycles; • the city's municipal credit rating and insurance premiums; • land use issues; • any other factor that may be pertinent. The Work would not just explain these interdependent relationships and so help decision-makers. It will be an evidence-based tool to communicate the city's risk reduction investment. It will also be a tool for decision-makers which illustrates in economic terms the best case and worst case scenarios. C3. Resulting Consultant Service Orders pursuant to this agreement, the City may be awarded in the following manner: C3.1. Pilot: The Pilot phase would be an analysis of a completed project or a sample neighborhood project. This would be a smaller engagement in scope with quicker results focusing on two risks: the five-year storm in combination with 2060 southeast Florida sea level rise scenarios. This would examine the risks in two-ways: without any infrastructure improvements and with the current stormwater intervention. The Pilot would analyze how the inaction and action may affect the City's property tax base, flood insurance, real estate market and financial mortgage cycles, and credit ratings. C3.2. Ongoing: This may include the analysis of additional risks and additional adaptation investments at a project or program level, that may be an expansion or continuation of the project in other areas of the City or may be a new scope altogether. The proposing teams are encouraged to present innovative decision- making tool(s). The tool(s) should be designed to facilitate a review of RFQ-2017-300-KB Page 13 engineering and science-based solutions. It should compare the solutions with the current costs. It should also compare the cost over time and the triple bottom line value (economic, environmental, social) to the City of Miami Beach in the short term (5 year), mid-term (10 to 20 year) and long term (30 + years). Approach 2 would provide the ability for the City to analyze how the inaction and action may affect the City's property tax base, flood insurance, real estate market and financial mortgage cycles, and credit ratings, land use issues, or any other factor that may be pertinent to the Work.

ATTACHMENTS: Exhibit A: Pre-Proposal Meeting Sign-in Sheet Exhibit B: Vendor Access Report 111. ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS BY PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS AT THE PRE-BID MEETING AND VIA EMAIL. Q1: What's the budget for the work? Al: The budget has not been determined. Q2: What are the deadlines—for questions, proposals, contract, commencement, completion? A2: Deadline for questions was November 3, 2017 at 5:00pm, and the proposals due date is stated above. The contract term will be for a period of five 95) years with the option to renew at the City's sole discretion for two(2)additional two(2)year periods. Q3: Please send me a list of your registered vendors. A3: Please refer to Exhibit B. Q4: During the pre-submittal meeting a question was asked with regard to AECOM's ability to respond to this RFQ since they are the program manager for the City's stormwater implementation. Is AECOM able to respond to this RFQ? 1 ADDENDUM NO.1 REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS(RFQ)No.2017-300-KB FOR BUSINESS CASE ANALYSIS OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH STORMWATER RESILIENCY PROGRAM A4: No firm will be allowed to conduct a business case analysis on its own work. 05: We are requesting the sign in sheet from the pre-proposal meeting, including phone attendees. AS: Please refer to Exhibit A. Q6: Regarding the minimum eligibility requirements, Appendix Cl. "The prime proposer shall demonstrate experience in providing consulting services in the areas of sustainability, resiliency, adaptation strategies, or risk management/mitigation to at least one (1) public sector agency." As indicated by 'or', are the minimum eligibility requirements for any one of the services listed or for ALL of the services listed? A6: The sentence states 'or' for the miminum requirements. However, it is recommended that proposers provide all relevant experience to deliver a complete business case analysis as indicated in Section 0300 Submittal Requirements, Tab 2 Experience and Qualifications. Q7: What is the City's schedule for this work? A7: The scope will be developed based on the qualificiations and experience of the proposers, and the City's stormwater program and needs. The City would like a first business case analysis work product in the Spring of 2018. 08: Does the veteran-owned preference apply to subconsultants listed on the proposal? A8: The veteran-owned preference applies to the firm submitting a proposal in response to the RFQ. Q9: Item 11 on page 21 of the RFP states that "Resolution 2016-29375... prohibits official City travel to the states of North Carolina and Mississippi, as well as the purchase of goods or services sourced in North Carolina and Mississippi." In order to satisfy the requirements of Resolution 2016-29375 is it sufficient that our primary project team members are staffed in states other than North Carolina and Mississippi? Or is the interpretation of Resolution 2016- 29375 that none of the project team members for the project be located in North Carolina or Mississippi? Our project team for this project will be directed, managed and staffed primarily from our Florida and Missouri offices, while our firm is headquartered and incorporated in the State of North Carolina. So we are looking for clarification on how to staff the remaining project team. A9: The referenced resolution prohibits the purchase of goods or services sourced in North Carolina and Mississippi. Therefore, the resolution prohibits the actual provision of services to be generated from locations within these states. The provision of services from locations within other states is not impacted by the resolution. Q10: Are we permitted to change the Notary public signature block on Appendix A from Florida to a different state? Although we have a local presence, our contracts department is based elsewhere. A10: Yes. Q11: What modeling efforts and scenarios has the City undertaken as it relates to the Stormwater Management System currently under construction? Specifically, what modeling software was used and what SLR projections and storm events were simulated? Al1: The City has been using a rainfall of 7.5 inches in 24 hours for past modeling, but 2 ADDENDUM NO.1 REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS(RFC)No.2017-300-KB FOR BUSINESS CASE ANALYSIS OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH STORMWATER RESILIENCY PROGRAM last month the City Commission approved an increase to 8.75 inches in 24 hours and the distribution used is based on the Soil Conservation Service Type Ill. The sea level use for the backwater/boundary in the Bay was set and approved by Commission about 3 years ago as a sea level of 2.7 feet NAVD elevation. If high tide levels continue to trend up as quickly as seen in the past three years, this elevation may have to be reevaluated. The model that is being used is the ICPR model that South Florida Water Management District has used for this area. The model has to be adjusted for the use in this area with reduced peaking factors and minimum ground storage found in Miami Beach. Q12: If a firm is listed as a subconsultant for a firm not selected for award by the City, is that firm eligible to be considered for the pool of pre-qualified consultants, or does the subconsultant also need to submit a separate proposal as the prime consultant? Al2: Any firm wishing to be considered for this project should submit a proposal. Q13: It was mentioned during the pre-bid meeting that firms may submit a package to be qualified for the pool of sub-consultants. What is the submittal criteria for sub-consultants if they do not have direct experience in the scope listed? A13: Any firm wishing to be considered shall submit its proposal in accordance with the Submittal requirements in Section 0300 of the RFQ. Q14: For firms that are exempt from Workers' Compensation requirements under state law, will the certificate of exemption from each officer satisfy the insurance requirements for the City of Miami Beach? A14: Insurance requirements will be addressed during negotiations with the successful proposer. Any questions regarding this Addendum should be submitted in writing to the Procurement Department to the attention of the individual named below, with a copy to the City Clerk's Office at Rafael G ran ado(&m iam i beachfl.qov. Procurement Contact: Telephone: Email: Kristy Bada 305-673-7000, ext. 6218 KristyBada@miamibeachfl.gov Proposers are reminded to acknowledge receipt of this addendum as part of your RFQ submission.

All documents released in connection with this solicitation, including all appendixes and addenda, whether included herein or released under separate cover, comprise the solicitation, and are complementary to one another and together establish the complete terms, conditions and obligations of the Proposer and, subsequently, the successful proposer(s)(the"contractor[s]") if this RFQ results in an award. The City utilizes PublicPurchase (www.publicpurchase.com) for automatic notification of competitive solicitation opportunities and document fulfillment, including the issuance of any addendum to this RFQ. Any prospective proposer who has received this RFQ by any means other than through PublicPurchase must register immediately with PublicPurchase to assure it receives any addendum issued to this RFQ.

Through this RFQ, the City intends to select one or more firms that can provide the City with resiliency related business case analysis(es) as required. The business case study(ies) requested include economic analysis(es) of the value of our risk reduction investments to address flooding and sea level rise. This analysis should explain the risk cost of inaction (in dollar terms) and the extent to which the risk cost is likely to be reduced as a result of the city's infrastructure investments (also in dollar terms). The Work may consider the complex relationship and impact(s) among City investments (that reduce risk to flooding and sea level rise) to the City's property tax base, flood insurance, real estate market and financial mortgage cycles, and City credit ratings, land use issues, or any other factor that may be pertinent to the Work. Additionally, the terms "FIRM", "PROPOSER", "CONSULTANT", "PRIME PROPOSER" or "TEAM" are used interchangeably and shall refer to the firm that will contract with the City for the development and implementation of the project. Additional detail and project description is provided in the attached Minimum Requirements and Specifications Section (Appendix C).

Additionally, the City reserves the right to engage other consultants, either through option 2 below or through other means, to assist the City in its development of business case analysis(es) of the City's stormwater infrastructure program upgrades, other resiliency measures,or adaptation strategies. RFQ 2017-3O0-KB 3 BEACH 2. Pool of Pre-qualified Consultants. Additionally, to assist with smaller engagements relating to business case analysis(es) of the City's stormwater infrastructure program upgrades, other resiliency measures, or adaptation strategies (or related needs), the City intends to create a continuing pool of prequalified consultants (not selected in Option 1 above). Firms that submit a proposal pursuant to the RFQ, and who are deemed to be responsive, responsible and best qualified may be eligible to participate in the continuing pool of pre-qualified consultants. The firms included in the continuing pool will also be eligible to participate as sub-consultants to the prime consultant on applicable projects at the discretion of the City Manager. The process for considering qualifications proposals shall be as follows: 1. City will consider proposals received on or before the due date. 2. All responsive proposals will be submitted to the Evaluation Committee appointed by the City Manager for evaluation in accordance with the criteria established herein.

Minimum Eligibility Requirements. The Minimum Eligibility Requirements for this solicitation are listed below. Proposer shall submit, with its proposal, the required submittal(s) documenting compliance with each minimum requirement. Proposers that fail to include the required submittals with its proposal or fail to comply with minimum requirements shall be deemed non-responsive and shall not have its proposal considered. 1. The prime proposer shall demonstrate experience in providing consulting services in the areas of sustainability, resiliency, adaptation strategies,or risk management/mitigation to at least one(1) public sector agency. Required Submittals: For each qualifying project, submit project name, project description,start and completion dates, project contact information(phone and email),volume of contract, and firms role. C2. Statement of Work Required. At its core, the business case study requested is an economic analysis of the value of our risk reduction investments to address flooding and sea level rise. This analysis should explain the risk cost of inaction (in dollar terms) and the extent to which the risk cost is likely to be reduced as a result of the city's infrastructure investments(also in dollar terms). This analysis will also consider the complex relationships between the anticipated reduction in risk cost and: • our private property tax base; • flood insurance(both future FEMA models/FIRM maps and private market rates); • the availability and affordability of private property mortgages over mortgage cycles; • the city's municipal credit rating and insurance premiums; • land use issues; • any other factor that may be pertinent. The Work would not just explain these interdependent relationships and so help decision-makers. It would also be an evidence-based tool to communicate the city's risk reduction investment. If done right, it could be a tool for decision-makers that illustrates in economic terms the best case and worst case scenarios. C3. Task Orders. All work assigned pursuant to any agreement resulting from this RFQ will be awarded via a Task Order or Consultant Service Order approved by the City Manager. In award work, the City may award in the following manner: C3.1. Pilot: The Pilot phase would be an analysis of a completed project or a sample neighborhood project. This would be a smaller engagement in scope with quicker results focusing on two risks: the five-year storm in combination with 2060 southeast Florida sea level rise scenarios. This would examine the risks in two-ways. without any infrastructure improvements and with the current stormwater intervention. The Pilot would analyze how the inaction and action may affect the City's property tax base, flood insurance, real estate market and financial mortgage cycles, and credit ratings. RFQ 2017-3OO-KB 27 C3.2. Ongoing: This may include the analysis of additional risks and additional adaptation investments at a project or program level, that may be an expansion or continuation of the project in other areas of the City or may be a new scope altogether. The proposing teams are encouraged to present innovative decision-making tool(s). The tool(s) should be designed to facilitate a review of engineering and science-based solutions. It should compare the solutions with the current costs. It should also compare the cost over time and the thele bottom line value (economic, environmental, social) to the City of Miami Beach in the short term (5 year), mid-term (10 to 20 year) and long term (30 + years). Approach 2 would provide the ability for the City to analyze how the inaction and action may affect the City's property tax base, flood insurance, real estate market and financial mortgage cycles, and credit ratings, land use issues, or any other factor that may be pertinent to the Work.

ICF's History In 1969,former Tuskegee Airman C.D.Lester began a venture capital firm in the Washington,DC area with the goal of powering the next great businesses in the city—and the world.Lester was joined by three analysts from the U.S.Department of Defense to form the Inner City Fund.In 1972,the firm reorganized into a consulting firm and became ICF Incorporated. Wth a focus on solving energy challenges in the public and private sectors throughout the 1970s,ICF expanded to help address the world's environmental concerns in the 1980s. The turn of the century marked ICF's foray into the global market.In 2006,ICF Consulting was renamed ICF International to reflect a growing geographic presence and increased scope of service offerings from advisory services to execution, implementation,and improvement.In 2014,ICF acquired Olson,an integrated marketing technology and digital services provider widely recognized for their innovative strategic advisory work,software-driven customer loyalty programs,and analytics-based marketing.We also welcomed Mostra SA,a leading communications agency based in Brussels,Belgium,to complement our policy work and enhance our strategy of providing both advisory and implementation services. Today,the company is known simply as"ICF,"while still retaining its international presence.ICF is a global,diversified firm that combines the entrepreneurship and dynamism of a new company with a solid reputation and expertise in the consulting industry—offering solutions that help clients worldwide solve their biggest challenges to achieve their most formidable goals. ICF has been working with public agencies on climate change adaptation and resiliency since the early 1980s,when we performed the nation's first sea level rise impacts analysis for the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency(EPA). The ICF Team We have also assembled team members to complement our expertise and provide the City of Miami Beach with an integrated, interdisciplinary team. The ICF Team includes: r AIR Worldwide (AIR) provides our team with the leading risk modeling software in the country, which is used by the Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA) and other major insurers. Kimley-Horn brings a strong background in municipal infrastructure design and urban planning and a deep knowledge of the City, its infrastructure, physical characteristics, and infrastructure vulnerabilities. r The Florida Atlantic University(FAU) Center for Environmental Studies is deeply familiar with local environmental issues and risks, provides key datasets on groundwater levels, and brings expertise valuing quality of life and sense of place in South Florida. Brizaga, Inc., provides locally specialized expertise in communicating risks of sea level rise to the general public and key decision makers in South Florida. Below, we provide further detail on each of our teammates. AIR Worldwide AIR provides risk modeling solutions that make ,\ AIR WORLDWIDE individuals, businesses, and society more resilient to extreme events. In 1987, AIR founded the catastrophe modeling industry and today models the risk from natural catastrophes, terrorism, pandemics, casualty catastrophes, and cyber- attacks globally. Insurance, reinsurance, financial, corporate, and government clients rely on ICF AIR's advanced science, software, and consulting services for catastrophe risk management, insurance-linked securities, site-specific engineering analyses, and agricultural risk management. AIR is the scientific leader in risk modeling Did You Know? software and consulting services. Their catastrophe models are widely used by the / AIR recently won a competitive process amongst tap global insurance and reinsurance industries, catastrophe modeling firms to provide flood risk sovereign governments, and nonprofit modeling for FEMA and NFIP. organizations, such as the World Bank, to AIR's models are the only catastrophic risk models assess risk, manage exposure to natural and that have been validated using detailed policy-level manmade catastrophes, drive policy decisions, exposure and loss experience from NFIP. and help plan for and mitigate the effects of future disasters in populated areas. AIR models accurately capture local vulnerability characteristics and consistently validate well against actual events. AIR has participated in many studies like the one proposed in the RFQ, such as for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), Dow Chemical Company (Dow), and the World Bank. AIR's large and diverse team of risk modeling specialists—comprising hydrologists, meteorologists, civil engineers, insurance experts and actuaries, and geographic information system (GIS) and exposure experts—will support this team by: Using their probabilistic catastrophe models—including the U.S. Inland Flood model and Tropical Cyclone model—to assess potential losses under a range of sea level rise and storm scenarios, as well as resiliency investment scenarios. r Refining model assumptions and scenarios about resiliency measures in place. r Providing transparency into the data, assumptions, and methods underlying the model. r Clearly communicating any uncertainties in the modeling process and the output. r Providing output from their catastrophe models for input into the business case analysis (detailed description under Tab 3). Kimley-Horn and Associates (Kimley-Horn) Kimand design isone of the nation's premierorn p specializes Ki m I ey >>> H o r n and design consultancies. Kimley-Horn specializes in many of the services that are key to strong resiliency preparation: urban planning, transportation planning and design, watershed and stormwater planning and management, hydraulics and hydrology studies, environmental documentation and permitting, utility engineering, public involvement, and more. The firm has been at the forefront of assisting municipalities in identifying and winning the financial resources needed to develop resiliency plans. Kimley-Horn has an active practice in Miami and an established working relationship with the City of Miami Beach. They provide transportation, intelligent transportation systems, roadway design, wastewater plant upgrade design, stormwater system designs, project management, and construction inspection services for the City. Through this work, Kimley-Horn is intimately familiar with the challenges the City of Miami Beach faces from the acute shocks and chronic stresses of the projected long-term effects of climate change—especially the community disruptions associated with "sunny day flooding' and the damage from tropical storms and hurricanes. Kimley-Horn's work outside Florida also significantly contributes to our knowledge of resiliency- related project development and cost estimates. For example, they prepared the engineering analysis to support the econometric model of flood control and stormwater management 'ICF measures to protect four key waterfront areas of Norfolk, VA. For each, they developed concepts, preliminary plans, and cost estimates for the development of sea level rise barriers and stormwater pump stations to support a benefit-cost analysis for the improvements. This work resulted in the City of Norfolk being awarded $115 million for the Chesterfield Heights project under the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD's) National Disaster Resilience Competition (NDRC). Kimley-Horn engineering and planning professionals will support the team in the following areas: r Sea level rise and flooding extent estimates utilizing the work developed for the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Compact. Stormwater master plan analysis including concept plans and preliminary opinions of cost for stormwater system implementation projects. r Concepts and estimates for street elevation, intersection, and signal system adjustments to address sunny day flooding and storm surge estimates. r Concept plans and cost estimates for water and sewer utility adjustments including sewer and stormwater pump station flood-proofing, backflow preventers, and storm sewer elevation adjustments. r Concepts and cost estimates for seawall, berm, and other flood control measures. r Evaluation of alternative concepts for resiliency improvements to coastal defense measures ranging from sand replenishment to seawall repairs. r Critical infrastructure and facilities vulnerability assessments based on various sea level rise scenarios. r GIS services to estimate the economic value of properties in flood-prone areas or areas subject to potential inundation.

For example, • Kimley-Hom staff participated in the City of ICF conducted an economic analysis of the Norfolk 5-day°Dutch Dialogue"Resiliency "cost of inaction"to climate change for the City Charrette sponsored by the Rockefeller of Philadelphia, and of the benefits of flood Foundation(2015). resiliency measures at a Louisiana airport. As a subset of economic analyses, ICF has performed numerous cost-benefit analyses, including for resiliency projects. For example, we conducted cost-benefit analysis for flood resiliency projects for the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). ✓ Risk modeling. AIR is the scientific leader and most respected provider of risk modeling software and consulting services. Their U.S. Inland Flood model and Tropical Cyclone model are used for countless risk modeling and assessment applications, including for the National Flood Insurance Program, the Dow Chemical Company, and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). ICF has also performed several climate risk assessments, including for SEPTA, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and multiple energy utilities. ICF ✓ Risk management. ICF routinely supports client's climate risk management efforts. For example, we are currently working with a confidential utility client to support their corporate risk management decisions and regulatory filings. ✓ Insurance and lending. The AIR risk models are used to inform insurers and lenders around the globe, including the National Flood Insurance Program and the World Bank Disaster Risk Financing and Insurance Program. ICF also conducted an analysis of the practical implementation of climate change considerations in the insurance/reinsurance industry. The project, A Changing Climate for Reinsurance, included the development and deployment of an online survey before and during the February 2016 Catastrophic Risk Modeling conference to determine how the insurance industry is considering climate change ✓ Miami Beach vulnerabilities, topography, and efforts to date. Our team is well aware of Miami Beach's unique sea level rise vulnerabilities. Kimley-Horn is a frequent engineering consultant to the City of Miami Beach, providing transportation, ITS, roadway design, wastewater plant upgrade design. stormwater system designs, project management, and construction inspection services for the City. Brizaga has communicated sea level rise risks in Miami Beach. Further, many of our team members live and work in South Florida—including our ICF project manager on Miami Beach— and are intimately familiar with the challenges and constraints (geographic, social, financial, and others)facing the City. In addition, the ICF Team has expertise in a number of relevant areas that may be useful to the City of Miami Beach as they advance their resiliency efforts. These include: ✓ Resiliency decision support. ICF and our teaming partners work regularly with cities and other public agencies to support resiliency decisions. For example, ICF recently developed a decision support tool for the City of Philadelphia to manage their sea level rise risks and developed investment decision support tools for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and General Services Administration (GSA). ✓ Triple bottom-line (TBL) analysis. ICF has performed numerous TBL analyses measuring the economic, environmental, and social costs and benefits of given activities. For example, we conducted TBL valuations of protected areas in Southeast Asia for the U.S. Agency for International Development(USAID). ✓ Environmental and social impact analysis. The ICF Team has deep experience valuing ecosystem and other services. For example, ICF staff have quantified ecosystem services benefits of resiliency and restoration projects for dozens of local, state, and federal clients, including the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Bureau of Land Management(BLM). Dr. Colin Polsky of FAU's work focuses on complementing standard economic assessments of ecosystem values with non-monetary measures(e.g., sense of place, identity, serenity). ✓ Risk communication. Brizaga staff, for example, directed the science communication element of a City of Miami Beach community outreach program for Bayshore. ICF also has a deep bench of science communications experts, who, for example, have worked with the City of Philadelphia to communicate climate change risks to the general public. In addition, ICF has an in-house team of crisis communications experts, known as the PulsePoint Group. If needed, PulsePoint could help Miami Beach improve resilience by enhancing communications before, during, and after emergency situations. ✓ Stormwater engineering. Kimley-Horn engineering and planning professionals have been heavily involved in projects in Florida and other coastal municipalities dealing with /ICF flooding and sea level rise, including the City of Miami Beach and Palm Beach. Their team has experts in stormwater management and resiliency—for example, they conducted engineering analyses for the City of Norfolk to support stormwater system resiliency investments. Detailed documentation on our past projects in these areas are provided below. In addition, Table 2 summarizes the similarity of our experience on past projects with the scope of services required by the City.

ICF then assessed the impacts of the proposed management activities on ecosystem services by evaluating the changes to ecosystem functions from the management activities and linking these changes to changes in the affected ecosystem services. ICF then evaluated BLM and other data sources to develop quantitative estimates of the effects of management activities on a variety of ecosystem services,including the storage and sequestration of carbon. Next, ICF linked the quantified changes in ecosystem services to impacts on human welfare.The final step was to estimate the monetary value of the changes in human welfare that would result from GRSG conservation. In accordance with the ecosystem services framework, ICF valued each affected ecosystem service using benefit transfer methods. ICF then aggregated the unit values for the affected ecosystem services to estimate the total benefits resulting from GRSG conservation. ICF also conducted a spatial analysis to evaluate the flow of ecosystem service values across the affected region. ICF will utilize a similar approach to analyze Land-Use issues as well as the ecological impact of resiliency efforts and to inform analyses of the costs and benefits of resiliency efforts by incorporating the values of changes in the provision of ecosystem services. ♦I/ dICF Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restrictions on the tide page of this proposal.

Recent research in this vein has included conducting nine focus groups randomly sampled from the general public in three coastal marshland locations:north of Boston, in Massachusetts;on the eastern shore of the Virginia peninsula;and in southern Georgia. The studies characterize the specific socioecological contexts within which specific adaptation decisions are(or are not)made using focus groups with participants drawn from the general public.The results demonstrate ways in which marsh changes forecast as part of Q1,and subsequently valued in the economic meta-analysis, are(or are not) relevant to the broader public. Results enable the subsequent planning charrettes to focus on adaptations that not only address the economic cost-benefit estimates, but also correspond to local public preferences and address salient vulnerabilities. FAU can conduct similar to studies to provide the City with a more holistic analysis of the benefits of resiliency solutions.

The city is exposed by its low elevation and porous bedrock and is geographically constrained. Moreover, the city's economy and sense of place are inextricably linked to the water. The City of Miami Beach's stormwater program has the potential to motivate or discourage developers, homeowners, and renters to maintain housing stock, invest in in situ resiliency measures, and procure flood insurance. The City's unique challenges will mandate a unique approach. No "out-of-the-box" solution from another location will directly apply. However, core methods and principles— Complex drawing from the economic, social, planning, Investment and innovation domains—can apply. Analyses In the remainder of this section, we outline tested approaches the ICF Team can apply to build the business case for resiliency in Miami Beach. We have experience building such Land-Use Innovative multidisciplinary solutions, such as through our Issues Analysis work building the FHWA adaptation program; supporting utility resiliency programs; and conducting a broad range of economic, adaptation, and sustainability decision support for the City of Philadelphia. As outlined in the RFQ, we have divided these Figure 4. Complex investment analyses.land-use issues, approaches into three categories: complex and innovative analyses are interrelated investment analyses, land-use issues, and innovative analysis. These categories are interrelated (Figure 4), and we do not anticipate they would be performed separately for the City. In particular, innovation is a core component of all ICF projects—it permeates our culture and would permeate our approach to working with the City to build the case for resiliency. 3.1 Approach and Methodology 1.

Business Case Analysis for the City of Miami Beach Stormwater Resiliency Program RFQ 2017-300-KB increasing for the City and for its residents and businesses. Subsidized flood insurance rates continue to increase annually under the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014. At the same time, the federal government's NFIP has become fiscally unsound, and its ability to continue to subsidize flood insurance is uncertain. Moreover, as coastal cities across the country face more frequent and intense coastal flooding, the federal government's ability to support Florida's storm recovery efforts may be diminished. As it considers strategies to increase resiliency to flooding and other extreme events, the City of Miami Beach needs to evaluate and compare the multifactor benefits of alternative investments, both to maximize what will be accomplished by the investments and to get buy-in from taxpayers and other stakeholders. The ICF Team will assess the City's adaptation options in the face of increasing insurance premiums and the risk of less federal support for disaster preparation and response. Approach The ICF Team has conducted complex investment analyses for a wide range of clients, including Dow, DEP, SEPTA, and the California Department of Water Resources. Our proposed approach to analyzing the business case for the City of Miami Beach's resiliency investments draws on these experiences and involves three key components (see also Figure 6): 1. Outline the business case—To prioritize and make the most effective use of resources, identify the resiliency benefits that resonate most with decision makers 2. Build the business case—Quantify and assemble the costs of inaction and benefits of resiliency. This component includes: a. Estimating the cost of inaction and how the risk and cost change as a result of the city's infrastructure investments. b. Estimating other benefits of investments that reduce risk from flooding and sea level rise, including potential increases in property values and tax revenues, decreases in insurance premiums, improvement in the City's municipal credit rating, and effects on real estate markets and mortgage cycles. If resiliency strategies include the use of green infrastructure, we will also estimate a range of benefits associated with enhanced ecosystem services (e.g., improved air quality, aesthetics, recreational opportunities). 3. Inform decisions— Use the business case to inform a range of decisions. For example, use Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) or other methods to rank investment alternatives to aid in decision making. Methods such as MCDA are particularly useful for ranking and prioritizing alternatives when there are multiple important objectives to stakeholders that may not all be measureable on the same scale. `I/ I � 1 /'C ri Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restrictions on the title page of this proposal. 88 Business Case Analysis for the City of Miami Beach Stormwater Resiliency Program R Q 2017-300-KB Outline the Identify benefits that rescnate with Approach used before in: Business Case decision-makers • City managers • Elected officials • Voters Philadelphia cost of inaction • Residents • Business community Build the Before and after comparisons of: Business Case Flood likelihood AIR risk models Property value and tax base AIR risk models(e.g.,Palomar Specialty Insurance premiums Insurance), ICF analysis for EPA Office of Real estate market - Water Capital expenditures > Philadelphia cost of inaction.Kimley-Hom Operations and maintenance costs stormwater system implementation projects Construction-related traffic/business disruptions SEPTA Hazard Mitigation Cost Effectiveness Analyses,City of Flood-related traffic and business disruptions Philadelphia cost of inaction Recreation opportunities EPA stormwater BMPs.BLM sage Value of ecosystem services grouse,DOI Sandy Resilience (Aesthetic values Sense of place FAU focus groups Inform For City managers: USAID Low Emission Asian Decisions Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis Development Program Decision-support tools Philadelphia,FWS,GSA For elected officials,residents,and other stakeholders.

Component 1. Outline the business case. Identify benefits that resonate most with decision-makers, such as city managers, elected officials, voters, residents, and the business community. This can help prioritize analysis and make the most effective use of limited resources. For example, when ICF calculated the '`cost of inaction" of climate change to the City of Philadelphia, we worked closely with the city to identify the benefits of most interest to city managers: changes in operational costs and health impacts. Component 2: Build the business case. Estimating, in dollar terms, the cost of inaction and a reduction in the risk and cost from the city's infrastructure investments. To assess the changes in property damage under inaction and the City's infrastructure investments scenarios, the ICF Team will use AIR's 'ICF a or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restrictions on the title page of this proposal. Business Case Analysis for the City of Miami Beach Stormwater Resiliency Program RFQ 2017-300-KB existing state-of-the-art catastrophe models (see box titled "The AIR Risk Models"). We will build on successful prior applications of the models to understand risks, costs, and investment decisions. For example, AIR used this model for NFIP to provide an exceedance probability- based risk assessment for their national portfolio, reporting at both the national and state level. Figure 7 illustrates the component parts of the AIR catastrophe models. Each component, or module, represents both the analytical work of the research scientists and engineers who are responsible for its design and the complex computer programs that run the simulations. Calculate the physical effects at all locations Estimate property and time element damage Estimate losses from Hazard various perspectives Event intensity Engineering Generation Calculation Damage Financial I Exposure Estimation Insured Loss Generate the stochastic Information Calcuons Policy catalog of potential Conditions future events Figure 7:Basic Catastrophe Model Architecture This methodology is consistent between AIR's off-the-shelf risk modeling solutions (such as those used by insurers and other financial institutions) and AIR's more detailed engineering- based, site-specific risk assessment studies. Appropriate adjustments, in terms of data quality improvements and engineering input for defining asset damageability, can be introduced to various modules depending on the analysis requirements. For example, AIR conducted a detailed, site-specific risk analysis of highly valued assets that are vulnerable to extreme wind, ocean surge, and precipitation-driven flood conditions caused by Gulf Coast hurricanes for Dow. Results of this analysis have provided Dow with the tools to develop strategic mitigation measures and make informed decisions related to hurricane response and planning. The stochastic catalogs for inland flood and storm surge, respectively, contain 10,000 and 100,000 years' worth of simulated events. As flood damage is highly dependent on elevation, AIR calculates flood height relative to a 30-meter Digital Terrain Model (DTM). In order to account for rising sea levels, AIR can decrease the DTM heights underlying the research model by a consistent value to account for a raised sea level, and subsequently rerun the model based on these alterations. \I/ Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restrictions on the title page of this proposal. 90 Business Case Analysis for the City of Miami Beach Stormwater Resiliency Program RFQ 2017-300-KB The AIR Risk Models Driven by the latest science,AIR models tell you where future extreme events are likely to occur,how intense they are likely to be.and how they will impact the world around us.They give you the information you need to support your entire risk- decision chain,from(re)insurance underwriting to capital management to mitigation and resiliency strategies. Two such models will be of relevance to Miami Beach: AIR Hurricane Model for the United States To facilitate risk assessment and risk differentiation at a highly granular level,AIR has amassed an unparalleled body of knowledge about the vulnerability of structures exposed to hurricane winds and storm surge, augmented by independent research. post-disaster surveys,external peer review,and a comprehensive model validation process.As scientific knowledge and the landscape of insured property evolve,AIR's commitment to innovation makes the AIR Hurricane Model for the United States the most reliable and trusted in the industry.Key distinguishing features include: ► The model includes a"climate-conditioned"Atlantic hurricane catalog.which reflects elevated sea surface temperatures,to evaluate how a warm ocean environment may impact your risk. ► The model accounts for directional effects of hurricane winds,which is critical to producing reliable loss estimates. The AIR model incorporates the latest research in wind field modeling to achieve an unprecedented level of detail and accuracy.Along the coast of southern Florida,for example.where swampy surfaces.rough urban surfaces, and ocean surfaces are often located alongside eacn other.wind speeds can vary quite dramatically as a result of surface friction. By incorporating the latest satellite-derived, high resolution.land use/land cover data.the AIR model captures the accumulated surface friction effects of land and water based on the direction of the wind at each location. ► The model can be customized in a variety of ways. including changing assumptions of sea level,storm intensity and frequency,ground elevation,height of the first floor above ground level,and the floor of interest enabling the quantification of site-specific mitigation impacts.Additional modifiers include the height of a custom-built levee or flood wall protecting a building. AIR Inland Flood Model for the United States High definition rainfall and river flow simulation,and an advanced physically based hydraulic model are used to estimate location-level flood depth.Key distinguishing features include: ► The driving force of floods—the precipitation and,where applicable.snowmelt inputs—are provided by Global Circulation Model(GCM)coupled with a regional Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP)model designed to better represent the complexity of precipitation and snowmelt patterns over the continental US.A statistical"downscaling" is further applied to the NWP output to further enhance the inherent variability of precipitation at fine resolution due to turbulent forces in the atmosphere at sub-grid resolution. ► An advanced runoff generation module accounts for the local geology,soil properties, land cover and land use and allows a continuous soil moisture and groundwater balance computation—both very critical factors for flood occurrence and its modelling.A state-of-the-art flood routing module propagates the flood waters in the river network accounting for each river segment's slope,cross-sectional shape and land cover. ► A state-of-the-art vulnerability module uses a component-based approach to flood loss estimation.The module uses damage functions that are predominantly based on statistical analyses of observational(claims)data and engineering assumptions in line with the latest achievement in the field.Separate modules and sets of damage functions account for losses occurring on the river floodplain and the ones that occur on the hill slope.As previously noted,the AIR model is unique because we can calibrate the model using detailed claims data from the National Flood Insurance Program(NFIP). The model determines risk for on-and off-floodplain locations. The stochastic catalogs for inland flood and storm surge.respectively,contain 10,000 and 100,000 years'worth of simulated events.As flood damage is highly dependent on elevation,AIR calculates flood height relative to a 30-meter Digital Terrain Model(DTM).In order to account for rising sea levels,AIR can decrease the DTM heights underlying the research model by a consistent value to account for a raised sea-level,and subsequently rerun the model based on these alterations. The models can estimate any return interval event,up to the 1-in-100.000 year event. ♦I/ #I1C F Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restrictions on the tide page of this proposal. 91 Business Case Analysis for the City of Miami Beach Stormwater Resiliency Program RFQ 2017-300-KB Both inland flooding and storm surge flooding damage can be mitigated with appropriate building features such as custom flood protection and service equipment elevation. AIR's models are designed to allow for a comprehensive assessment of these features and their potentially significant impact on flood damage. Additionally, the AIR models provide options for specifying ground elevation, height of the first floor above ground level, and the floor of interest enabling the quantification of site-specific mitigation impacts. Additional modifiers include the height of a custom-built levee or flood wall protecting a building. The key personnel from AIR proposed for this project are meteorologists, hydrologists, and engineers who build these models and calculate structures' damageability to flooding and storm surge. These scientists can leverage their expertise to customize the outputs for the City. This is how the models are used in all example applications provided. Examples of tailored deliverables that can inform the City's decision process include average annual losses for a variety of sea-level scenarios. These losses can be in the form of property loss and/or economic loss in the form of business interruption resulting from flooding and storm surge. Additionally, AIR can provide losses to structures resulting from undertaking mitigation options, either by altering specific building characteristics, or simulating the implementation of a new building code. For the property modeled, AIR can also provide hazard metrics, such as FEMA and AIR flood zone category, distance to coast, etc. These outputs can be tailored to meet the specific needs of the City of Miami Beach in the goal of making the city more resilient to catastrophes and rising sea levels. Estimating benefits of investment in risk reduction from flooding and sea level rise. Reduction in expected flood damages from storm surge and inland flooding—the main benefit of resiliency investments—leads to multiple economic, social, and environmental co-benefits. As summarized in Figure 8, more resilient communities benefit from higher property values, better financing options, and better insurance rates. Some resiliency measures (e.g., use of green infrastructure) may also offer significant co-benefits, including reducing health risk and improving aesthetic values. Our approaches to analyzing these benefits are summarized below. These approaches build on methodologies we successfully used in past projects to inform the understanding and selection of measures to enhance resiliency to flooding, climate change, and other disasters.

The ICF Team will rely on economic literature to estimate changes in the property values affected by resiliency investments. For example, available hedonic property valuation studies suggest that a 1% reduction in flood risk translates to about 0.5% to 5% improvement in property values (e.g., Braden & Johnston, 2004; Daniel, Florax, & Rietveld, 2009).1A 1% reduction in flood risk is equivalent to removing properties from the 100-year • flood plain.

ICF staff also used hedonic pricing methods to estimate the property value increases associated with a restoration project in Massachusetts for properties adjacent to the project that would experience enhanced aesthetic values. The ICF Team will use the estimated change in property values to estimate an increase in property value and City of Figure 9:Heavy downpours on August 1st, 2017 Miami Beach's tax base from resiliency investments. illustrate the importance ofstormwaterresiliency Over the years, AIR has built detailed property exposure databases for all regions covered by its models. These databases contain physical characteristics of the residential, commercial, and industrial facilities, including the implementation and adherence to building codes. AIR can alter the building characteristics in the database to learn how updates to these building codes could affect the region's risk, ultimately impacting the property values. Changes in Insurance Premiums: Resiliency strategies can save money on competitive insurance premiums and deductibles because insurance premiums are a function of the potential flood-loss expectancy. We will use output from the AIR catastrophe model (Component 1)to delineate areas designated as special risk areas (i.e., 100-year flood zone) under the "no action" and "resiliency investment" scenarios and identify properties that are no longer in the 100-year flood zone due to resiliency investments. Models similar to the AIR model are used to produce the digital flood insurance rate maps, which are used for NFIP. Thus, we will use flood ' Braden, J. B., &Johnston, D. M. (2004).

For example, removing properties from the designated 100-year flood zone and using other resiliency strategies to reduce the probability inundation may lead to a 10-fold reduction in insurance premium (e.g., ULI, 2015).3 AIR performs loss cost analyses for major insurers to inform them on the catastrophe loss impact associated with rate filings. Recently Palomar Specialty Insurance Company used AIR's probabilistic Inland Flood model to generate detailed loss information to build a private flood program in California, the first filing approved by the California Department of Insurance. Leveraging the AIR model output, users can identify where the risk is, allowing the City to mitigate it and reducing future policy costs. Real Estate Market and Financial Mortgage Cycle: Sea level rise and climate resiliency measures also get credit for outperforming the market in increased rent per square foot, faster leasing, and higher occupancy rates. Leasing premiums could range from 2%to 18% compared to properties in similar neighborhoods that do not use resiliency measures (ULI, 2015). Resiliency strategies can also have a significant impact on the probability of mortgage default and, as a result, mortgage rates. We will rely on existing studies, data, and models to assess real estate market benefits. To evaluate effects on mortgage cycles, the ICF Team will use AIR's flood models to forecast the probability of default by market segment following extreme weather events. The ICF Team will design market segmentation for the purpose of this project. The model will be used to estimate mortgage delinquency rates by segment under each analytic scenario. City's Municipal Credit Rating: Municipal credit ratings are designed to address only one aspect of an investment decision—credit risk. Each credit rating agency evaluates credit risk based on its own standards, applies its own ratings methodology, and weighs the various factors in the methodology differently. The AIR probabilistic models can be used to forecast probability of default and assess potential impacts on municipal credit rating. Changes in City Capital and Operating Costs: Resiliency measures or lack thereof can influence City capital and operating expenditures. For example, implementing resiliency measures (such as installing pumps, raising roads, and other flood protection) requires up-front capital, but can save on operating costs(such as repairing flood-related damage or placing sandbags or other temporary flood protection). For the City of Philadelphia, for example, ICF relied on a combination of City spending records and available rules of thumb from the economic literature to estimate operations and maintenance savings. Kimley-Horn can provide cost estimates for any new stormwater or other resiliency solutions, based on their experience as stormwater engineers throughout South Florida. Other Benefits: Approaches to estimating other benefits will depend on specific characteristics of resiliency projects (e.g., whether projects affect important infrastructure or include green space). The ICF Team will draw upon our experience evaluating the broad benefits of infrastructure investments to quantify the benefits and, where possible, monetize those benefits. For example: ► If important access roads are no longer subject to flood risk due to resiliency measures, it may be possible to estimate benefits to commuters in terms of the number of hours saved from not taking detours during flood events and the value of time saved. ICF has applied this approach to quantify transportation resiliency benefits for the City of 3 Urban Land Institute. (2015).

Business Case Analysis for the City of Miami Beach Stormwater Resiliency Program RFQ 2017-300-KB Philadelphia and the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority by applying a federally approved value of commuter time rate, in conjunction with traffic volume data. ICF has also incorporated the value of time saved by travelers into analyses of the costs and benefits of the California Department of Water Resource's Bay Delta Conservation Program and into cost-benefit analyses of project alternatives for the California Department of Transportation. ► Benefits from green infrastructure may include improved recreation opportunities, changes in human health risk from air pollution reduction and carbon sequestration, and energy savings from reduced building cooling needs. Green infrastructure can also improve the aesthetic values of the affected land, resulting in increased values for nearby properties as well as benefits to commuters and recreational users. The ICF Team has used a range of market and nonmarket valuation approaches to estimate these benefit categories. For example, to support EPA in estimating benefits from implementation of stormwater best management practices and low-impact development, ICF staff estimated monetary benefits of reducing health risk due to reduced air pollution from an increase in vegetative cover, carbon sequestration, and water quality improvements. For BLM, ICF recently estimated the benefits of enhanced ecosystem services resulting from the bureau's efforts to conserve the habitat of GRSGs in the western United States. If benefit monetization is not feasible, we will use a variety of other socioeconomic metrics to characterize benefits to the affected communities. For example, we could use the suite of socioeconomic metrics developed by ICF staff to assess success of the U.S. Department of the Interior's Sandy Resiliency projects. ► Increased resiliency to sea level rise can also be important to maintaining a sense of place, particularly in a locale like Miami Beach, where the water is such an integral part of life. Dr. Colin Polsky has used focus groups to characterize these benefits in three coastal locations: north of Boston, on the eastern shore of the Virginia peninsula, and in southern Georgia. This approach recruited focus group participants from the general public using random sampling with explicit screening criteria to maximize spatial and demographic representativeness. Focus group questions were designed to elicit information on issues such as (1)the ways in which the public uses, understands, classifies, and values the local environment; (2) perception of environmental condition and vulnerabilities; (3) how and why potential environmental changes are viewed as salient; and (4) characteristics of preferred adaptation options. Component 3: Inform decisions. The elements of the business case may not be sufficient to inform decisions as-is. The final component is to assemble the information to inform complex investment decisions. Because multiple stakeholders are likely to participate in resiliency investment decisions, ICF proposes to use multi criteria decision analysis (MCDA) to facilitate complex resiliency investment decisions. Figure 10 provides an example MCDA framework. We have used this approach in several contexts, described further below. ,ICF Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restrictions on the title page of this proposal. 95 Business Case Analysis for the City of Miami Beach Stormwater Resiliency Program RFQ 2017-300-KB Stakeholder values,goals,criteria, Storrnwater infrastructure and cther and preferences resilience and adaptation alternatives • Example Selection Criteria Environmental Impacts Social Impacts Economic Impacts j Flood risk to roads arc bridges j Traffic impacts from flooding i Flood damages ♦ Flood risk to buildings structures ♦ Aesthetic appeal 4 Insurance premiums i Watershed impacts t Recreational opperunities ♦ Property valueitax base Weighting of Criteria Decision Support Total Resilience Alternative ✓ Obtain additkmal information ✓ Update results Score ✓ Report and communicate ✓ Review and approve Decision r Figure 10:MCDA Framework The MCDA framework is particularly helpful to evaluate how decisions change when assigning varying importance for different factors where the factors are not necessarily measured in dollar terms. This framework involves the following steps: ► Identifying a decision opportunity(e.g., reducing flood risk in a particular neighborhood). ► 'Identifying stakeholder interests and sub-interests (e.g., protecting infrastructure such as roads vs private property). ► Building a decision framework. ► Rating alternatives. ICF will use TBL valuation results to rank alternatives using either an ordinal or cardinal scale. For example, among the three alternatives, we can assign each a 1, 2, and 3 depending on which satisfies the interest: the best(3); second best(2); and the worst at satisfying the interest (1). ► Weight stakeholders' interests from "not important"to "very important." ICF will work with the City of Miami Beach to elicit stakeholders' preferences (e.g., we could conduct interviews or distribute questionnaires). ► Score the alternatives by multiplying rating by the interest weight.

Business Case Analysis for the City of Miami Beach Stormwater Resiliency Program RFQ 2017-300-KB ► Allow stakeholders to review the alternatives. If none of the projects rises to the top, ICF can facilitate a meeting to discuss results and, if needed, re-weight different resiliency investment alternatives using an alternative weighting system (e.g., using a range instead of a single number). ICF successfully used this approach to support the USAID Low Emissions Asian Development Program. ICF used the TBL valuations of protected areas in selected Southeast Asian countries and then used the TBL valuation results in conjunction with MCDA to guide decision makers in prioritizing alternatives and in making tradeoffs across and within the TBL objectives for the Mae-Sa Kog Ma Man and Biosphere (MSKM-MAB) Reserve in Northern Thailand. For this process, ICF collected data from 20 different stakeholder groups on their preferences regarding the management of the MSKM-MAB. ICF then used the MCDA tool to determine the preferences of each stakeholder group and their ranking of 18 possible management activities for MSKM-MAB. Results of stakeholder groups were then combined to determine the overall ranking of the management options. If needed, we can also incorporate the various options the City of Miami Beach is considering into an optimization framework to select the set of measures that would maximize the benefits of investments subject to an overall budget constraint. ICF staff supported the EPA Office of Research and Development in developing such an optimization framework to evaluate management options within an integrated water resources management context (Detenbeck et al., 2015).4 The information can also be housed in user-friendly decision-support tools, examples of which are described further under Section 3, Innovative Analysis. 2. Land-Use Issues Understanding and Insights The complex investment analyses described above are a primary component of building the business case for sea level rise resiliency in the City of Miami Beach. However, given the area's unique geology, geomorphology, demography, and urban planning, land-use issues are central to assessing the efficacy of resiliency measures in the City. Property developers, realtors, and assessors often do not account for or disclose flood risk to buyers and renters, who may have asymmetric information about these hazards. Land use and zoning laws could be used to encourage development in less flood-prone areas or to prioritize flood mitigation efforts based on existing land-use and zoning patterns. Although there is limited space in Miami Beach, the city has different development management options, such as densifying lower-risk areas and managing transportation. The city may also manage land use to encourage adaptive capacity among residents (e.g., allowing accessibility to key destinations even if streets are flooded) and/or to develop a buyout program of Severe Repetitive Loss Properties (properties that have received multiple insurance payouts after flood damage). ICF can work with the City of Miami Beach to incentivize resiliency among its residents, developers, and sectors. ICF can also support the coordination of resiliency-building land-use policies with Miami and Miami-Dade County. 4 Detenbeck, N., Tenbrink, M.,Abele, R., Leclair, J., Garrigan, T., Zoltay, V., ...

Understanding what motivates households to protect their property from flood risk, through the procurement of flood insurance or in situ measures, is also critical. The ICF Team has experience measuring communities' adaptive behavior, using robust economic techniques, such as discrete choice experiments. The ICF Team also has experience using approaches such as agent-based modeling to compare the City's resiliency resulting from various incentives posed to residents, developers, and the government. Approach The ICF Team has dealt with the complex land issues associated with sea level rise adaptation in numerous contexts. We will apply similar approaches and, more importantly, lessons learned from these experiences to work with the City of Miami Beach. Three examples of such past experience are provided below. As shown below, the team has experience in all areas of complex land use (ranging from facilitating planning exercises to complex modeling), which we can leverage as needed for the City. Informing Climate-Resilient Land-Use Decisions in the Dominican Republic ICF is currently performing a project for USAID to assist municipalities in the Dominican Republic with land-use planning, with special emphasis on the incorporation of climate change vulnerability assessment and adaptation planning. Building on a previous ICF initiative, Climate Resilient Infrastructure Services, the program has established working groups in each of four Dominican Republic cities (Santo Domingo, Santiago, San Pedro de Macoris, and Las Terrenas) to raise awareness and build peer groups around climate adaptation. Key elements of the ICF work program include development of vulnerability assessments for each of the municipalities; training-of- Did You Know? trainers activities for the International City/County Our work on land use planning and Management Association team on how to conduct resiliency in the Dominican Republic vulnerability assessments, adaptation planning, and land- includes peer learning between cities in use planning; mainstreaming of climate concerns in the United States and the Dominican municipal planning and services (especially for potable Republic. water); development and review of training materials for the The City of Miami and City of Fort working groups and the country; and special studies to Lauderdale are participating as such include water management and transportation in selected "CityLink"partners and are working with cities. Peer learning is a critical element of the program, the Dominican cities. which will be spread to an additional four cities in coming years. Land-Use and Resiliency Planning in Norfolk, VA Kimley-Horn has similarly helped to develop solutions to the complex decisions that coastal municipalities face in dealing climate change—especially sea level rise and coastal flooding from storms. Developing plans to address the community threats attendant to coastal flooding requires the ability to assess the full range of infrastructure, land use, community acceptance, socioeconomic cohesion, and economic development issues. Kimley-Horn engineers, planners, and environmental scientists bring their design, cost estimating, and public involvement skills to bear on developing and analyzing the complex set of issues that arise in developing and implementing a community resiliency plan. An excellent example of this is the work undertaken for the City of Norfolk during the development of its application, through the Commonwealth of Virginia, to HUD for grant assistance under the HUD NDRC in 2015. As part of a team tasked with supporting the City in its application, Kimley-Horn engineers, planners, and environmental scientists analyzed the geographic history, topography, drainage, natural resources, socioeconomic status, and ♦I/ /ICF Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restrictions on the title page of this proposal.

During the 5-day work sessions, Kimley-Horn worked with the team to familiarize them with the characteristics of the community affecting the practicality of resiliency interventions; developed, tested, and sorted through a wide variety of infrastructure-and non-infrastructure-related adaptation measures; developed cost estimates for some of the preferred measures; and prepared graphics and presentations to workshop participants and City officials.

Business Case Analysis for the City of Miami Beach Stormwater Resiliency Program RFQ 2017-300-KB Integrating Climate and Land-Use Scenarios Finally, ICF has worked with EPA to develop forecasts of nationwide land use under different climate change scenarios, known as Integrated Climate and Land Use Scenarios (ICLUS). ICF first developed ICLUS in 2005. ICF is now working on a new study of potential impacts of climate change to human health, water availability, air quality, and other metrics using the revised version of ICLUS (ICLUSv2)to gain insights into future urban expansion from the demographic change and classes of land use. 3. Innovative Analysis Understanding and Insights There are no standard solutions to solve climate change challenges. Therefore, we work closely with individual clients to hone in on the most pressing needs; identify and address gaps; and develop practical tools and processes. ICF bridges the gap between practitioner needs and cutting-edge technical data and methods while providing practical decision support. In addition, ICF brings a robust culture of innovation that counters "group think" and promotes the identification, vetting, and efficient development of new high-potential solutions. ICF builds on four foundational elements to create an environment that cultivates innovation: ► Conceptual framework.

ICF has incorporated Figure 14:ICFs Innovation Management innovation into our core business processes, including Framework project management reviews and employee performance reviews. ► Incentives. To underscore the importance of innovation, ICF incentivizes our staff so that it is front-of-mind. ICF offers innovation awards and operates an "Innovation Fund" to advance promising ideas. Together, these elements work together Recognized Innovation on the ICF Team to make ICF one of the most innovative Our proposed project manager,Cassandra Bhat,has consultancies in the business, creating a spearheaded two ICF"Innovation Fund"projects and won two mutually reinforcing system that "ICF Spark"innovation awards.One award was for her work to promotes and rewards creativity, develop an investment decision support tool for FWS,described execution, and progress. under"Approach."This tool makes it easy for FWS to make climate-resilient investments. Approach Our history of work to help clients understand and adapt to their climate risks demonstrates the benefits of ICF's culture of innovation. It is a culture in which no two projects are alike, outside of the conscious approach to ensure our solutions are tailored to meet our client's specific needs. Thus, we consistently apply a two-step approach to all projects: �'iC Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restrictions on the title page of this proposal.

Develop solutions to address challenges and meet needs. This approach has yielded multiple examples of useful and innovative solutions to climate change challenges, including for the City of Philadelphia, FWS, the Berkeley Energy and Climate Institute, and GSA. City of Philadelphia Context: The City Office of Sustainability had data flood risks but needed a way to ensure that information informed all infrastructure investment decisions throughout the city. They also needed to simplify the decision-making process for other departments to ensure that the information would be widely incorporated and utilized. Solution: ICF interviewed City staff to map the existing capital budgeting and investment- making process. We identified multiple potential entry points for climate resiliency to be factored into the capital programming process. Then, we developed streamlined tools and resources for each step as needed. These resources included: ► Simplified decision trees to Is the asset expected to operate after mid-century? determine appropriate flood 40-----410 infrastructure levels for individual infrastructure projects.

FWS needs to ensure their maintenance investments are spent as wisely as possible—including to ensure ♦I/ — /'C F Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restrictions on the title page of this proposal Business Case Analysis for the City of Miami Beach Stormwater Resiliency Program RFQ 2017-300-KB resiliency of critical functions and avoid wasting resources making repeat repairs of vulnerable assets. Solution: ICF first worked with the client to determine what information is needed to inform highly sensitive refuge management decisions. Then, ICF leveraged existing FWS data to assess vulnerability of all constructed assets in the target region and developed a user-friendly decision support tool (Figure 16). Our approach used a combination of sophisticated back-end analytics and user-friendly visualization and management tools to provide refuge managers with the information they need to make climate-resilient decisions. For example, the tool delivers information on which assets are both mission-critical and vulnerable to climate change, and it can be filtered by remaining service life—therefore, executives and managers can use this to identify which assets are coming up for replacement and may be candidates for resiliency investments.

Municipalities in the state are diverse in terms of size, financial resources, governance, and climate risks. Existing work in the state demonstrates that municipalities face challenges related to financing adaptation and increasing their capacity for resiliency. The state wants approaches that can help any city in the state, regardless of where it falls in these dimensions. Solution: ICF is developing a capability maturity model to help local governments overcome institutional barriers to resiliency. This innovative model will enable local governments to evaluate their existing capabilities to adapt to climate change impacts and identify actionable strategies to improve core agency structures and processes. ICF is also developing a financing ♦I/ #1C p Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restrictions on the title page of this proposal.

General Services Administration, Office of Federal High-Performance Green Buildings Context: GSA manages the entire federal building portfolio. GSA needs to protect federal investments and ensure that the government is not making investments now that they will have to pay to repair and retrofit in the future. GSA has a high-level understanding of risks but needs to know how to modify the design or siting of specific buildings. Solution: ICF has worked closely with GSA to build their climate resiliency program. This work has included conducting an agency-wide risk assessment to identify risks. Two primary risks identified are those to buildings and those to agency supply chains. ICF then developed two decision support tools to help the agency manage those risks: ► The Safeguarding Assets Tool provides GSA with projections for specific climate variables relevant to building performance (heating and cooling degree-days, days when nighttime temperatures are insufficient for building air cycling, etc.). ICF worked closely with GSA to identify the relevant variables, developed methodologies to calculate those variables from available downscaled climate datasets, and developed simplified outputs that directly inform project design teams. ► The Supply Chain Risk Management Framework provides a method for GSA customers (i.e., federal agencies)to identify and manage their supply chain risks associated with extreme weather and climate change. The framework includes an accompanying tool. In both cases, the tools are designed to meet specific needs with specific end users in mind. This has ensured the tools are widely used and are serving their purpose of protecting federal investments. ICF's team members have also demonstrated innovation. For example, Kimley-Horn maintains offices with the National Environmental Modeling and Analysis Center at the Collider, an Asheville innovation center for climate-related businesses. This presence has exposed the firm to some of the leading innovative businesses in climate change science, engineering, and economics. ICF's Experience Providing Ongoing Client Support The RFQ specifies that the City of Miami Beach intends to create a pool of consults to provide on-call support for a variety of engagements relating to business case analyses.ICF has experience providing this type of ongoing support for a variety of clients and is well positioned to work alongside the city as it works toward a more resilient future. Examples of ongoing support and expert guidance ICF has provided include: ► The City of Philadelphia: ICF has worked alongside the city for years,helping to shape new initiatives,design and perform analyses,and implement solutions. In this role,ICF has assisted with a range of activities,including improving understanding of location and regional climate risks,identifying opportunities to prepare for those changes,informing the public about risks and adaptation opportunities available to the city,and building capacity of city departments to include climate data in decisions. ► General Services Administration,Office of Federal High-Performance Green Buildings: Over the years,ICF has supported GSA through a number of climate change—related initiatives,from early-stage vulnerability assessments to highly targeted decision support tools.ICF has helped GSA to create an Executive Order— mandated climate adaptation plan and implement various elements of the plan to increase resiliency.In particular, ICF developed tools to support adaptation for GSA's new infrastructure and supply chain. ► Federal Highway Administration:ICF has been working side-by-side with FHWA for more than a decade,helping to identify and understand climate change—related transportation needs and advances.We have helped FHWA build a community of practice among state departments of transportation and metropolitan planning organizations. \l/ CF Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restrictions on the title page of this proposal.
