Written decisions and/or approvals issued by the City shall not constitute nor be deemed a release of the responsibility and liability of the Consultant (or any Subconsultants), for the accuracy and competency of the Services, nor shall any City approval and/or decisions be deemed to be an assumption of such responsibility by the City for a defect, error or omission in the Services. 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 in accordance with Applicable Laws for all damages to City caused by any failure of the Consultant or to comply with the terms and conditions of the Agreement or by the Consultant's misconduct, unlawful acts, negligent acts, errors or omissions in the performance of the Agreement. 2.7 TIME: It is understood that time is of the essence in the completion of the Project and, in this respect, the parties agree as follows: 2.7.1 Term: The term of this Agreement shall commence upon execution by the City and Consultant, which shall be the Effective Date referred to on page 1 hereof, and shall be in effect for three (3) years ("Initial Term"), plus two (2), one (1) year renewal options, to be exercised at the sole discretion of the City Manager (Initial Term and any renewals shall be collectively referred to as the "Term"). Notwithstanding the preceding Term, Consultant shall adhere to any and all timelines and/or deadlines, as set forth in the Consultant Service Order, including the time for completion of the work and/or services for such Project(as set forth in the particular Consultant Service Order). 2.7.2 The Consultant shall perform the Services as expeditiously as is consistent with the standard of professional skill and care required by this Agreement, and the orderly progress of the Work. 2.7.3 Recognizing that the construction of other projects within the City may affect scheduling of the construction for the Project, the Consultant shall diligently coordinate performance of the Services with the City (through the Project Administrator) in order to provide for the safe, expeditious, economical and efficient completion of the Project, without negatively impacting concurrent work by others. 2.7.4 The Services shall be performed in a manner that shall conform to the Consultant Service Order. The Consultant may submit requests for an adjustment to the Consultant Service Order completion time, if made necessary because of undue delays resulting from untimely review taken by the City (or authorities having jurisdiction over the Project) to approve the Consultant's submissions, or any other portion of the Services requiring approval by the City (or other governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Project). Consultant shall immediately provide the Project Administrator with written 9 notice stating the reason for the particular delay; the requested adjustment (i.e. extension) to the Project Schedule; and a revised anticipated schedule of completion. Upon receipt and review of Consultant's request (and such other documentation as the Project Administrator may require), the Project Administrator may grant a reasonable extension of time for completion of the particular work involved, and authorize that the appropriate adjustment be made to the Project Schedule. The Project Administrator's approval (if granted) shall be in writing. 2.8 Consultant shall use its best efforts to maintain a constructive, professional, cooperative working relationship with the Project Administrator, Contractor, and any and all other individuals and/or firms that have been contracted, or otherwise retained, to perform work on the Project. 2.9 The Consultant shall perform its duties under this Agreement, and under a Consultant Service Order, in a competent, timely and professional manner, and shall be responsible to the City for any failure in its performance, except to the extent that acts or omissions by the City make such performance impossible. 2.10 The Consultant is responsible for the professional quality, technical accuracy, completeness, performance and coordination of all Services required under the Agreement and under the Consultant Service Order (including the services performed by Subconsultants), within the specified time period and specified cost. The Consultant shall perform the Services utilizing the skill, knowledge, and judgment ordinarily possessed and used by a proficient consultant with respect to the disciplines required for the performance of such Services in the State of Florida. The Consultant is responsible for, and shall represent to City that the Services conform to the City's requirements, the Contract Documents and all Applicable Laws. The Consultant shall be and remain liable to the City for all damages to the City caused by the Consultant's negligent acts or errors or omissions in the performance of the Services. In addition to all other rights and remedies which the City may have, the Consultant shall, at its expense, re-perform all or any portion of the Services to correct any deficiencies which result from the Consultant's failure to perform in accordance with the above standards. The Consultant shall also be liable for the replacement or repair of any defective materials and equipment and for the cost of the re-performance of any non-conforming construction work resulting from such deficient Services (i) for a period from the Effective Date of this Agreement, until twelve (12) months following final acceptance of the Work. The Project Administrator shall notify the Consultant, in writing, of any deficiencies and shall approve the method and timing of the corrections. 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 relating to 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. 10 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 11 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: If applicable, 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. The Consultant shall cause the names of Subconsultants responsible for significant portions of the Services to be inserted on the plans and specifications. 12 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 the professional quality, completeness, and coordination of the Subconsultant's work. The Consultant shall, upon the request of the City, submit to the City such documentation and information as the City reasonably requests to evidence the creation, standing, ownership and professional licensure of the Consultant (and Subconsultants), including organizational documents, operating agreements and professional licensure documentation, and copies of the Consultant's contracts with the Subconsultant with respect to the Project. However, the City's failure to request such documentation or evidence and/or failure to enforce in any way the terms and provisions of this Section, the Agreement and/or any other Consultant Service Order during the Project does not excuse, waive and/or condone in any way any noncompliance of the requirements set forth therein including, without limitation, the professional licensure requirements. Any approval of a Subconsultant by the City shall in no way shift from the Consultant to City the responsibility for the quality and acceptability of the services performed by the Subconsultant. Payment of Subconsultants shall be the sole responsibility of the Consultant, and shall not be cause for any increase in compensation to the Consultant for payment of the Services. ARTICLE 3. THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITIES 3.1 The City Manager shall designate a Project Administrator, who shall be the City's authorized representative to act on City's behalf with respect to the City's responsibilities or matters requiring City's approval under the Contract Documents. The Project Administrator shall be authorized (without limitation) to transmit instructions, receive information, and interpret and define City policies and decisions with respect to the Services and the Project. The Project Administrator shall have full authority to require the Consultant to comply with the Contract Documents, provided, however, that any failure of the Project Administrator to identify any noncompliance, or to specifically direct or require compliance, shall in no way constitute a waiver of, or excuse, the Consultant's obligation to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents. 3.2 The City shall make available to Consultant, for the convenience of the Consultant only, information that the City has in its possession pertinent to the Project. Consultant hereby agrees and acknowledges that, in making any such information available to Consultant, the City makes no express or implied certification, warranty, and/or representation as to the accuracy or completeness of such information and assumes no responsibility whatsoever with respect to, the sufficiency, completeness or accuracy of such information.

SCOPE OF SERVICES Geotechnical, soil testing and/or lab testing services are required for proper pre-planning of construction projects for the City. Many of the City's CIP and Public Works projects will require, during one time or another, a geotechnical, soils or lab testing report to validate either the City's Engineer's or any Architect's or Engineer of Records recommendations as to any site, building or any other project's unknown characteristics. Through this agreement the City will be able to adequately plan and incorporate geotechnical and soil testing services as part of the pre- construction preparatory work, which is a phase of every City construction project. In addition, the Geotechnical firm(s) would provide personnel that are qualified, trained and thoroughly familiar with the City's rules, policies, and procedures in inspection, sampling testing, and reporting various areas and stages of construction. The ability to have a list of Geotechnical firms to be contacted on an as needed basis would enable the City to utilize these services when the need arises. 1.0 Geotechnical Services • The Consultant shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, and other appurtenant work for performing subsurface explorations, obtaining representative samples, and performing all other geotechnical services. • The Consultant shall comply with all federal, state, and local rules and regulations with regard to permits, bonds, drilling, plugging, and all other applicable aspects of drilling. • The Consultant shall research and review all pertinent existing geologic and geotechnical data and information available from USGS, area development, and the company's own files. • The Consultant shall review the proposed project information and requested scope of work indicated as a minimum level of services desired relative to the anticipated subsurface conditions present. If localized subsurface conditions are expected to vary significantly, Consultant shall advise Owner of additional recommended services prior to commencing work. • The Consultant shall be responsible for contacting the appropriate agencies (state/city utility check) for determining locations of utilities in the vicinity of the actual boring locations. • Borings shall be backfilled to the original ground surface in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal guidelines. • Consultant shall perform the standard penetration test (SPT) in accordance with ASTM Designation D 1586. • In soil that is predominantly cohesive (silty clays, sandy clays, and material with adhesive binder), Consultant shall use the thin-walled tube method for sampling in accordance with ASTM Designation D 1587. • Rock coring shall be performed in accordance with ASTM Designation D 2113. • Double-ring infiltration test shall be conducted in accordance with ASTM Designation D 5093. • Laboratory tests shall be assigned and performed by the Consultant to classify soils and obtain geotechnical physical characteristics such as strength, compressibility, swell 26 potential, compaction characteristics, and chemical characteristics such as corrosiveness. Perform laboratory testing consistent in quantity and quality with local geotechnical engineering practice to provide the required design parameters and recommendations. The quantity of tests to be performed will be dependent upon the type of soil and/or rock encountered during drilling and sampling with additional consideration of the foundation types that may be required to support the proposed structures. • The Consultant shall prepare a geotechnical engineering report containing a discussion of the proposed construction, final boring logs, boring location plan, a description of the drilling and sampling program, a description of the geology and subsurface conditions encountered, groundwater conditions, laboratory test results, and foundation and earthwork recommendations and design parameters. The following is a list of major items that shall appear in the geotechnical engineering report: • Previous Construction Activity and Existing Fill (If present): A discussion of previous construction activity shall address any existing fills or subsurface openings, if encountered. Outline the engineering properties of any existing fills with regard to foundation design. • Subsurface Conditions: Subsurface conditions encountered at the site shall be discussed, based upon stratigraphic sequence observed and local geology. Figures shall be provided displaying soil borings and generalized cross sections. A general description of the engineering properties or parameters determined from the investigation and applied to design recommendations shall be provided. Prevailing groundwater elevations observed and those recommended for design shall be noted. • Site Preparation Recommendations: Provide grading and site preparation recommendations taking into consideration the conceptual grading plan for the site. • Compaction Requirements: The report shall contain detailed and specific criteria for acceptable embankment, fill, or backfill materials and address whether the available borrow material on site is suitable for general or structural fill. The report shall contain recommendations for material usage at the site with regard to placement and compaction requirements as well as any recommended treatment. Compaction criteria, including acceptable gradations, moisture control, compactive effort, and need for proofrolling shall be discussed, including criteria for both granular and cohesive fill, if applicable. Preparation of subgrades for fill and backfill placement shall be discussed. • Foundation Design: The geotechnical engineering report prepared by the Consultant will be used to size and structurally design stable foundations for the structures. To accomplish this task, the report shall contain recommendations in regard to the recommended foundation type for each structure, as loading and site conditions may require. The report shall provide net allowable bearing pressures for shallow spread footings and mats, at recommended bearing depths, considering the types of materials supporting the mats, and note whether any overstressing is allowed under short-term loading such as dynamic, wind, or seismic loading conditions. If over-excavation of unsuitable materials and backfill with structural backfill are required to improve the foundation soils to allow the use of shallow foundations, provide estimated vertical and horizontal extent of the over-excavation and structural backfill. Provide estimated total and differential settlement for foundations using the recommended bearing pressures. Provide an estimate of the time of settlement. Note factors of safety included or recommended. Provide recommendations for resistance to lateral loads, such as passive 27 earth pressures and sliding friction for the base of foundations. Provide recommended groundwater level for determination of buoyancy and means to resist buoyant forces, if needed. Recommendations for deep foundations shall include diameter, depth, and any recommended installation requirements. Provide allowable design loading capacities for vertical downward loading, vertical upward loading, and horizontal loading, as appropriate to the site conditions. Provide design parameters for analysis of laterally loaded drilled piers as required for input into lateral pile capacity software. All factors' of safety utilized in developing the allowable load capacities shall be outlined in detail. • Slope Stability and Excavations: The report shall address the recommended inclination of both temporary excavation and permanent slopes. • Excavation Requirements: If necessary, a section of the report shall address the excavatibility of the soils and rock which may be exposed during foundation excavation and site grading. The effort and type of equipment utilized to perform excavations is dependent upon the size and depth of the excavation. Thus, the discussion shall be in regard to area-type excavations and confined excavations, such as utility trenches. • Dewaterinq: Conditions present at the site requiring groundwater control, dewatering, or surface drainage during excavation for mats, footings, and other construction shall be discussed.

ANALYSIS The City"requires the services;of consulting fir"ire.to perform citywide geotechnical and soul testing services,for the.Capital Improvement Program:(CIP) and Public Works:Departments: For five,(5) years;,the City has contracted with;several consultingfirms to provide these services: In order'to'consider a replacement,contract, the City is seekingproposals from qualified firrriis) to perform Citywide geotechnical and soil testing services. Geotechnical,:soil testing and/or lab testing services are required for proper pre-planning of construction projectsfor the City,.Many of the:.City's CIP and Public Worksprojects will:require,.during one time or another,a•geotechnical, soils or lab testing report to validate either the. City's Engineer's or any Arehifect's or Engineer of Records recommendations-as to any-site;'building or any other project's unknown.characteristics, 'Through the issuance of this REQ the City will be able to adequately plan and incorporate geotechnical`and soil testing services as part of"the pre-construction preparatory"work,'which is a'phase Of every City construction project. in addition,the Geotechnical firrn(s)would provide Personnel.that are qualified, Page 506.of 1637 46 trained and thoroughly farriliar with the City's rules policies, and procedures in'inspection,sampling testing; and reporting various areas and 'stages-of construction.. The ;ability to have a list of Geotechnical'firms to be contacted on an as needed basis would enable the.City to utilize These services:when the need arises. .RFQ PROCESS On.April 11,2018,the.City Commission approved'to.issue the Request for Quelifications(RFQ).NO: 20,18-097-KB,for geotechnical and laboratory testing services on ah as-heeded basis_ On April 12,2018,the RFQ was,issued..The Procurement Deportment issued solicitation notices to.683 firms Utilizing www.publiicpurchase.com: 62 prospective proposere accessed the advertised solicitation.A voluntarypre-proposal conference to provide;information to the proposers submitting a response was,held on April 25,2018,RFQ responses'were due and received on July 30,2018.'The City received proposals from the following nine(9)`firms: • GFA International, Inc.: • Nutting Engineers of Florida,Inc. • Professional Service industries,Inc.

Tierra South Florida, Inc: 'Due to the:number of;responses; a summary of each top-ranked firm or the firm's proposal is available upon request.. Page'807 of 1637 47 CONCLUSION I have reviewed the submittals and the results'of the evaluation process. I have also considered the needs of the City that include a wide.variety of°geotechnical services,especially in consideration'of potential GO:bond projects.All of the nine(9)proposals received are from very well qualified firms.. Each One of these firms has its'own unique experiences from which the City May benefit depending on the project being considered. This especially important since the purpose::of the RFQ is to proactively establish contracts'for future services thatare not yet identified. For this reason, I believe it is important to have:a:wide range of service providers that the City can quickly.access to address any project or emergency needs that mayarise. For this reason,I believe it is the City's:best interest to. establish•contracts with all the firms so that future needs for services can:be quickly addressed. Therefore, I recommend that the Mayor and'City Commission approve the Resolution authoring the Administration la enter into negotiations with RADISE''International,LC,as the top.ranked proposer; Professional Service Industries;Inc:;as the second ranked proposer;GFA International, Inc., as the third ranked proposer;,Universal Engineering Sciences,Inc as the fourth ranked proposer;Terracon Consultants, Inc., 'as the fifth ranked proposer; Nutting Engineers of:Florida, Inc: and: Wood Environment& Infrastructure Solutions, Inc, as the sixth ranked proposers; Wingerter Laboratories; as the eighth ranked proposer; and Tierra South Florida, Inc.as the ninth ranked proposers; and further authorize the Mayor and City Clerkto execute agreements with each of the foregoing proposers upon conclusion of successful negotiations bytheAdrninistration.

The City requires the services of consulting firms to perform citywide geotechnical and soil testing services for the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and Public Works Departments. For five (5) years, the City has contracted with several consulting firms to provide these services. The current contract for these services expires on August 18, 2018. In order to consider a replacement contract, the City is seeking proposals from qualified firm(s) to perform citywide geotechnical and soil testing services. Geotechnical, soil testing and/or lab testing services are required for proper pre-planning of construction projects for the City. Many of the City's CIP and Public Works projects will require, during one time or another, a geotechnical, soils or lab testing report to validate either the City's Engineer's or any Architect's or Engineer of Records recommendations as to any site, building or any other project's unknown characteristics. Through the issuance of this,RFQ the City will be able to adequately plan and incorporate geotechnical and soil testing services as part of the pre-construction preparatory work, which is a phase of every City construction project. In addition, the Geotechnical firm(s) would provide personnel that are qualified, trained and thoroughly familiar with the City's rules, policies, and procedures in inspection, sampling testing, and reporting various areas and stages of construction. The ability to have a list of Geotechnical firms to be contacted on an as needed basis would enable the City to utilize these services when the need arises. It is the intent of the City of Miami Beach to select several firms under this RFQ, which will be contacted on an as needed basis. This contract shall remain in effect for an initial term of five (5) years, with two (2) optional renewal years at the City's discretion. This RFP is issued pursuant to Chapter 287.055, Florida Statutes, the Consultants Competitive Negotiations Act (CCNA). 3. SOLICITATION TIMETABLE.

Bidder (defined as the Firm) shall hold an asbestos business certification AND a geology business certification from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. C2. Statement of Work Required 2.1 Introduction/Background The City requires the services of consulting firms to perform citywide geotechnical and soil testing services for the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and Public Works Departments. For five (5) years, the City has contracted with several consulting firms to provide these services. The current contract for these services expires on August 18, 2018. In order to consider a replacement contract, the City is seeking proposals from qualified firm(s) to perform citywide geotechnical and soil testing services. Geotechnical, soil testing and/or lab testing services are required for proper pre-planning of construction projects for the City. Many of the City's CIP and Public Works projects will require, during one time or another, a geotechnical, soils or lab testing report to validate either the City's Engineer's or any Architect's or Engineer of Records recommendations as to any site, building or any other project's unknown characteristics. Through the issuance of this RFQ the City will be able to adequately plan and incorporate geotechnical and soil testing services as part of the pre-construction preparatory work, which is a phase of every City construction project. In addition, the Geotechnical firm(s) would provide personnel that are qualified, trained and thoroughly familiar with the City's rules, policies, and procedures in inspection, sampling testing, and reporting various areas and stages of construction. The ability to have a list of Geotechnical firms to be contacted on an as needed basis would enable the City to utilize these services when the need arises. It is the intent of the City of Miami Beach to select several firms under this RFQ, which will be contacted on an as needed basis. This contract shall remain in effect for an initial term of five (5) years, with two (2) optional renewal years at the City's discretion. 2.2 Geotechnical Services • The Consultant shall provide all labor, materials, equipment, transportation, and other appurtenant work for performing subsurface explorations, obtaining representative samples, and performing all other geotechnical services. • The Consultant shall comply with all federal, state, and local rules and regulations with regard to permits, bonds, drilling, plugging, and all other applicable aspects of drilling. • The Consultant shall research and review all pertinent existing geologic and geotechnical data and information available from USGS, area development, and the company's own files. • The Consultant shall review the proposed project information and requested scope of work indicated as a minimum level of services desired relative to the anticipated subsurface conditions present. If localized subsurface conditions are expected to vary significantly, Consultant shall advise Owner of additional recommended services prior to commencing work. • The Consultant shall be responsible for contacting the appropriate agencies (state/city utility check) RFQ 2018-097-KB 26 MIAMI BEACH for determining locations of utilities in the vicinity of the actual boring locations. • Borings shall be backfilled to the original ground surface in accordance with all applicable local, state, and federal guidelines. • Consultant shall perform the standard penetration test (SPT) in accordance with ASTM Designation D 1586. • In soil that is predominantly cohesive (silty clays, sandy clays, and material with adhesive binder), Consultant shall use the thin-walled tube method for sampling in accordance with ASTM Designation D 1587. • Rock coring shall be performed in accordance with ASTM Designation D 2113. • Double-ring infiltration test shall be conducted in accordance with ASTM Designation D 5093. • Laboratory tests shall be assigned and performed by the Consultant to classify soils and obtain geotechnical physical characteristics such as strength, compressibility, swell potential, compaction characteristics, and chemical characteristics such as corrosiveness. Perform laboratory testing consistent in quantity and quality with local geotechnical engineering practice to provide the required design parameters and recommendations. The quantity of tests to be performed will be dependent upon the type of soil and/or rock encountered during drilling and sampling with additional consideration of the foundation types that may be required to support the proposed structures. • The Consultant shall prepare a geotechnical engineering report containing a discussion of the proposed construction, final boring logs, boring location plan, a description of the drilling and sampling program, a description of the geology and subsurface conditions encountered, groundwater conditions, laboratory test results, and foundation and earthwork recommendations and design parameters. The following is a list of major items that shall appear in the geotechnical engineering report: • Previous Construction Activity and Existing Fill (If present): A discussion of previous construction activity shall address any existing fills or subsurface openings, if encountered. Outline the engineering properties of any existing fills with regard to foundation design. • Subsurface Conditions: Subsurface conditions encountered at the site shall be discussed, based upon stratigraphic sequence observed and local geology. Figures shall be provided displaying soil borings and generalized cross sections. A general description of the engineering properties or parameters determined from the investigation and applied to design recommendations shall be provided. Prevailing groundwater elevations observed and those recommended for design shall be noted. • Site Preparation Recommendations: Provide grading and site preparation recommendations taking into consideration the conceptual grading plan for the site. • Compaction Requirements: The report shall contain detailed and specific criteria for acceptable embankment, fill, or backfill materials and address whether the available borrow material on site is suitable for general or structural fill. The report shall contain recommendations for material usage at the site with regard to placement and compaction requirements as well as any recommended treatment. Compaction criteria, including acceptable gradations, moisture control, compactive effort, and need for proofrolling shall be discussed, including criteria for both granular and cohesive fill, if applicable. Preparation of subgrades for fill and backfill placement shall be discussed. • Foundation Design: The geotechnical engineering report prepared by the Consultant will be used to size and structurally design stable foundations for the structures. To accomplish this task, the report shall contain recommendations in regard to the recommended foundation type for each structure, as RFQ 2018-097-KB 27 MIAMI BEACH loading and site conditions may require. The report shall provide net allowable bearing pressures for shallow spread footings and mats, at recommended bearing depths, considering the types of materials supporting the mats, and note whether any overstressing is allowed under short-term loading such as dynamic, wind, or seismic loading conditions. If over-excavation of unsuitable materials and backfill with structural backfill are required to improve the foundation soils to allow the use of shallow foundations, provide estimated vertical and horizontal extent of the over-excavation and structural backfill. Provide estimated total and differential settlement for foundations using the recommended bearing pressures. Provide an estimate of the time of settlement. Note factors of safety included or recommended. Provide recommendations for resistance to lateral loads, such as passive earth pressures and sliding friction for the base of foundations. Provide recommended groundwater level for determination of buoyancy and means to resist buoyant forces, if needed. Recommendations for deep foundations shall include diameter, depth, and any recommended installation requirements. Provide allowable design loading capacities for vertical downward loading, vertical upward loading, and horizontal loading, as appropriate to the site conditions. Provide design parameters for analysis of laterally loaded drilled piers as required for input into lateral pile capacity software. All factors of safety utilized in developing the allowable load capacities shall be outlined in detail. • Slope Stability and Excavations: The report shall address the recommended inclination of both temporary excavation and permanent slopes. • Excavation Requirements: If necessary, a section of the report shall address the excavatibility of the soils and rock which may be exposed during foundation excavation and site grading. The effort and type of equipment utilized to perform excavations is dependent upon the size and depth of the excavation. Thus, the discussion shall be in regard to area-type excavations and confined excavations, such as utility trenches. • Dewaterinq: Conditions present at the site requiring groundwater control, dewatering, or surface drainage during excavation for mats, footings, and other construction shall be discussed. Anticipated types of dewatering shall be described. Special consideration to exposed sub-soils within the bottom of excavations during construction shall be addressed. • Corrosion Potential and Chemical Attack to Concrete: An evaluation of representative subsurface materials shall be performed to provide laboratory test results for chemical constituents, specifically pH, chloride ion, soluble sulfates, and sulfides as well as electrical resistivity. These parameters are required to evaluate the potential for corrosion to underground piping and grounding, and selection of cement type to resist potential sulfate attack. • Pavements and Roadway: Provide typical pavement thickness suggestions in accordance with Miami Dade County and FDOT specifications.

TEAMGFA.com Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) Plan: Executive Summary: This document describes the QA/QC Plan that GFA International, Inc. (GFA) will follow to assure that all field and laboratory work, calculations, engineering reports and related documents developed as a result of GFA's projects are complete, accurate, and a quality product. GFA's QA/QC Plan is based on the philosophy that: • Quality is achieved by adequate planning, coordination, supervision, and technical direction; proper definition of job requirements and procedures; understanding the scope of services; the use of appropriately skilled personnel; and by individuals performing work functions carefully, including paying strict attention to avoiding error and omissions. • Quality is assured through checking, reviewing, and surveying of work activities by individuals who are not directly responsible for performing the initial efforts. • Quality is controlled by assigning a competent person to perform QA/QC functions consisting of reviewing and evaluating the work and the procedures that were followed while performing the services. • Quality is verified through independent reviews by a senior staff member of the processes, procedures, documentation, supervision, technical direction and staffing associated with project development. 1.0 Quality Definitions, Goals and Requirements 1.1 Quality Definitions • Quality is verified through independent reviews by a senior staff member of the processes, procedures, documentation, supervision, technical direction and staffing associated with project development. • Definition of QC - QC is defined as "internal verification that the minimum requirements that have been established by industry standards and set forth by contract are continually exceeded." • Definition of QA-QA is defined as"an independent process of verifying quality of the quality control requirements." It is the process employed to assure that the performance of a service meets the agreed-upon requirements of the project, including policies and technical criteria, on schedule and within budget. 12017 GFA International,Inc. All Rights Reserved. Page 1 of 6 GFA International,Inc. www.TEAMGFA.com May 25,2018 55 1.2 Quality Expectations • A quality work product is one that meets the contractual requirements of the client and is prepared in accordance with accepted standards of professional engineering practice. It is the responsibility of GFA to plan and execute assignments so that quality work meeting these requirements will be produced. Quality is achieved when the work is planned, assigned, executed and checked. It is expected that quality work will be produced and that all work will be checked for conformance to requirements. 1.3 Quality Policy • GFA's professional service will be based on sound principles, will meet the standards of professional engineering practice, and will satisfy the quality requirements of the contract. • GFA's Project Managers will distribute copies of the comprehensive QA/QC plan to all project and staff level engineers, scientists and technicians. All team members are required to use the QA/QC plan and review process and procedures described herein. Each team member must understand the project objectives, apply sound principles, and produce correct and complete work. 2.0 QA/QC Process 2.1 Organizational Chart • Personnel instrumental to the QA/QC process are the Principal-in-Charge, Project Managers,Technical Service Managers and Senior Technical Reviewers. 2.2 Field Investigation QA/QC Process • The Technical Service Managers (field inspections and/or drilling), working under the direction of the Principle-In-Charge,will ensure that Field Services and Drilling Services operations, including subconsultants, have copies of the GFA's QA/QC Plan, updated versions of USACE field sampling protocol, appropriate ASTM specifications,and a uniform set of field (data recordation)forms. • The Technical Service Managers (field inspection and/or drilling) will perform periodic audits of field equipment condition, equipment calibrations, and personnel training levels/certifications. Any deficiencies will be reported to the Principal-In-Charge for correction. • During the course of the work, field reports, field test results and drilling logs will be reviewed daily by the Technical Service Manager for completeness, accuracy, and anomalies. Anomalous data will be reported immediately (e-mailed or hand carried)to the Project Manager. The Technical Service Manager will make a field vis it the next day to evaluate procedures and conditions, and report findings to the Project Manager. In some situations, that evaluation process may occur the same day through radio communications between the Technical Service Manager City of Miami Beach RFQ 2018-097-KB May 25,2018 56 and field crew. Decisions to add work scope (e.g., supplemental borings) to better define anomalous conditions will be made by the Project Manager and the client jointly and quickly while the equipment is still in the field. Routine field reports and logs will be reviewed by the Technical Service Manager and forwarded to the Project Manager. 2.3 Laboratory Testing QA/QC Process • The Technical Service Manager (laboratory), working Wider the direction of the Principle-In-Charge, will ensure that laboratory personnel, including subconsultants, have copies of the GFA' s QA/QC Plan, updated versions of appropriate ASTM test methods and specifications, and a uniform set of lab (data recordation) forms. • The Technical Service Manager (laboratory) will perform periodic audits of laboratory equipment condition, equipment calibrations, and personnel training levels/certifications. Any deficiencies will be reported to the Principal-In-Charge for correction. • During the course of the work, laboratory reports and data sheets will be reviewed daily by the Technical Service Manager for completeness, accuracy, and unusual results. Anomalous data will be reported immediately (faxed or hand carried) to the Project Manager. The Technical Service Manager will review unusual results with the laboratory technician including sample preparation and testing procedures used. If additional sample material is available, the Technical Service Manager may authorize a second test under close supervision. The Technical Service Manager will report those findings to the Project Manager. Decisions to add work scope (e.g., supplemental tests) to better define unusual soil/material properties will be made by the Project Manager and the client jointly. Routine laboratory reports and data sheets will be reviewed by the Technical Service Manager and forwarded to the Project Manager. • Samples from test borings will be classified by a geotechnical engineer, geologist or experienced laboratory technician in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System and appropriate geological nomenclature. Samples for roadway design projects will be classified in accordance with the American AASHTO Soil Classification System. Results of the borings will be drafted using AutoCAD and/or gINT, depending upon client preference. The drafted logs will be checked by the Project Manager. 2.4 Geotechnical Report QA/QC Process • The "quality" production and review of reports is based on the policy that two or more qualified individuals agree on the methodology, correctness, accuracy, and completeness of each deliverable work product before it, or any other related document which is based on it, is released for use. To accomplish this, it is necessary to implement the following Standard Checking Procedure, which is a check and balance process that includes QA/QC review (checking by the Technical Service Manager), concurrence (back-checking by the Project Manager), and assurance (independent review by the Senior Technical GFA International,Inc. www.TEAMGFA.com May 25,2018 57 Reviewers). • The Senior Technical Reviewer and Project Manager will co-sign and affix their engineering seal to all technical reports and documents. • The Senior Technical Reviewer will be required to verify that the report: • meets the minimum requirements by industry standards and contract. • has been completed on time and within budget (if otherwise, Project Manager should be notified). • is based on file contents which are complete and orderly. • is based on calculations which are well organized, neatly and legibly composed,footnoted for appropriate references, complete and checked. • includes detailed rationale for recommendations related to deep foundations, settlement, cost estimates, earthwork/muck volumes, seasonal high water table levels, absence/presence of rock, underdrains, permeability/seepage and other sensitive issues. • includes qualifying statements(limitation s)and excludes"guarantees". • The Project Manager's responsibility is to provide the Senior Technical Reviewer with: • adequate time to carry out the review;otherwise the report delivery will be delayed. • complete and orderly file contents. • draft written report with checked drafted sheets, graphs and tables. • checked calculations. • detailed rationale for technical recommendations and cost estimates. 2.5 Engineering CalculationsQA/QC • Initial Work • hand calculations o calculations should be neat and clear. o should show all units and clearly state any assumptions. o uncommon formulas/plots/nomographs should be referenced/attached. • Excel computations o verify correctness of input parameters. o calibrate program check/compare one excel computation with hand calculations. City of Miami Beach RFQ 2018-097-KB May 25,2018 58 • Computer Software o verify correct ness of input parameters. o compare results with that of a second software/method. • Peer Review of calculations • simple hand calculations should be checked by an independent engineer. • Senior Reviewer QA/QC • check that the theory/formula/method being used is appropriate. • review computer program input parameters for reasonability. • review computer program output for reasonability. Can compare with simplified alternative analysis method (e.g.slope stability charts, hand drawn flow nets). 2.6 External Geotechnical Resources • Work by subconsultants to be covered by written,authorized subcontract agreement. • Work by subconsultants to be supervised by GFA personnel. • 3.0 Tracking and Invoicing The Project Manager will track the schedule and budget for each project and provide a summary status for same to the client when requested. The Project Manager will adopt any existing "Task Order and Project Tracking System" preferred by the client or create one in a spreadsheet format. The Project Manager will prepare invoices to be submitted to the client. 4.0 Training The Principal-in-Charge will monitor websites and other information sources for technical bulletins,updates to manuals, and training/workshop sessions, which will be of benefit to the professional staff.
