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. Iflocalized 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.

AS THE NINTH RANKED PROPOSERS;AND FURTHER AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE AGREEMENTS WITH EACH OF THE FOREGOING PROPOSERS UPON CONCLUSION OF SUCCESSFUL NEGOTIATIONS BY THE ADMINISTRATION. RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution. ANALYSIS The City requires the services of consulting firm 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. 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, sail 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, Page 506 of 1637 46 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 o ity to utilize these. services when the need arises. RFQ PROCESS On April 11,2018,the City Commission approved to issue the Request for Qualifications(RFQ.)NO. 2018-097-KB,for citywide geotechnical and laboratory testing services on an as-needed basis_ On April 12,2018, the RFQ was issued.The Procurement Department issued solicitation notices to 683 firms utilizing www.publicpurchase.com. 62 prospective proposers accessed the advertised solicitation.A voluntary pre-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. + RADISE International, LC • Terracon Consultants,Inc. • Tierra South Florida, Inc. • Universal Engineering Sciences,Inc • Wingerter Laboratories • Wood Environment&Infrastructure Solutions,Inc. On August 14,2018 the City Manager appointed theEvaluation Committee via LTC#454-2018.The Evaluation Committee convened on August 23,2018 and September 10,2018 to consider proposals received.The second meeting was held since one firm inadvertently failed receive the notification of the evaluation committee. The committee was comprised of Pilar Caurin, Capital Projects Coordinator, Capital Improvement Projects Office, City of Miami Beach; EugeneEgernba, Engineer, Public Works, City of Miami.Beach;Pedro Fuentes, Engineer, Public Works, City of Miami Beach; Jose Perez, Capital Project Coordinator, Capital Improvement Projects.Office, City of Miami Beach; Jorge Rodriguez, Capital Project Coordinator, Capital Improvement Projects Office, City of Miami Beach The Committee was provided an overview of the project, information relative to the City's Cone of Silence Ordinance and the Government Sunshine Law. The Committee was also provided with general information on the scope of services, a copy of each proposal, and a presentation by each proposing firm The Committee was instructed to score and rank each proposal pursuant to the . evaluation criteria established in the RFQ.The evaluation process resulted in the ranking of proposers as indicated in Attachment A,in the following order: 1. RADISE International,LC 2. Professional Service Industries,Inc. 3. GFA International,Inc. 4. Universal Engineering Sciences, Inc 5. Terracon Consultants,Inc. 6. Nutting Engineers of Florida, Inc. 7. Wood Environment&Infrastructure Solutions,Inc. 8. Wingerter Laboratories 9. 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 507 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 that are 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 may arise. 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 authorizing the Administration to 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 Clerk to execute agreements with each of the foregoing proposers upon conclusion of successful negotiations by the Administration. FINANCIAL INFORMATION The cost of the related services, determined upon successful negotiations, are subject to funds availability approved through the City's budgeting process. Grant funding will not be utilized for this project. Legislative Tracking Capital Improvement Projects/PublicWorks!Procurement �.

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, comp active 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. Any other items of consideration as deemed necessary by the geotechnical company. The geotechnical engineering report shall be prepared by or under the direction of a Registered Professional Engineer registered under the regulatory laws of the State of Florida.

Approach to Contract Services Invoicing Our approach to each task assigned to the Universal team will first be to discuss the goals of the project with the City We understand that invoicing is a critical part of the project manager. Once we understand the goats, we will project process. Universal takes pride in understanding identify the most qualified staff on our team to handle that submitting invoices in a timely manner with the assignment,with consideration being given to closest details as tasks are completed or monthly is paramount office location to the project site or expertise required. to adhere to City of Miami Beach expectations. Our aim is Typical steps after the task is awarded will include: to reduce time and effort required to interpret invoices by submitting as much details and back-up information as • discussing project objectives with City of Miami Beach needed to facilitate City of Miami Beach's review. For lead staff; materials testing projects, Universal will submit signed and • identifying successful outcomes of the project with City sealed reports as well as signed daily reports for each test of Miami Beach staff and key players; performed and visit to the site. • developing detailed scope of work; • identifying appropriate staff based on qualifications, experience, and availability; • developing detailed schedule; • identifying staff for Quality Assurance/Quality Control for any testing/inspections performed; • identifying parties that need test results and reports; and • establishing weekly progress communication with City of Miami Beach lead staff. 78 Universal Engineering Sciences City of Miami RFQ No. 2018-097-KB Geotechnical and Laboratory Testing Services Solutions to Critical Issues One of the keys to successful projects is performing risk management during the planning stages,while the services are being rendered. Properly identifying potential problems will help reduce costly mistakes or delays that may impact the schedule. Below is a list of some common issues that can occur on typical projects.
