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

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 lìcensure 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.

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.

The timely delivery of the notice of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event is a condition precedent to allowance of any relief pursuant to this section; however, receipt of such notice shall not constitute acceptance that the event claimed to be a Force Majeure event is in fact Force Majeure, and the burden of proof of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event shall be on the requesting party. 18.6.3 No party hereto shall be liable for its failure to carry out its obligations under the Agreement during a period when such party is rendered unable, in whole or in part, by Force Majeure to carry out such obligations. The suspension of any of the obligations under this Agreement due to a Force Majeure event shall be of no greater scope and no 28 D o c u S ig n E n v e lo p e ID: C 4 4 7 8 E 2 A4 -5 3 6 D0 -4 5 6 F -9 8 7 5 -3 7 1A 4 8 3 1 4E F E longer duration than is required.

The obligation to pay money in a timely manner for obligations and liabilities which matured prior to the occurrence of a Force Majeure event shall not be subject to the Force Majeure provisions. 18.6.5 Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, in the event of a Force Majeure occurrence, the City may, at the sole discretion of the City Manager, suspend the City's payment obligations under the Agreement, and may take such action without regard to the notice requirements herein.

If the Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, Consultant shall be paid for any Services satisfactorily performed up to the date of termination; following which the City shall be discharged from any and all liabilities, duties, and terms arising out of, or by virtue of, this Agreement. In no event will any condition of Force Majeure extend this Agreement beyond its stated term.

Morales, City Manager DATE: January 15, 2020 SUBJECT:A RESOLUTION OF THE.MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY MANAGER, PURSUANT TO REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS RFQ) NO. 2019-109-ND FOR TRAFFIC ENGINEERING CONSULTANT SERVICES. RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution accepting the recommendation of the City Manager. BACKGROUND/HISTORY Many of the projects managed by the Transportation Department require traffic engineering services. Typically, the City has outsourced the required engineering services to qualified firms through a continuing contract established in accordance with Section 287.055, Florida Statutes. In anticipation of the current contract's expiration of February 2020, the City issued the RFQ seeking to prequalify traffic engineering consulting firms for future work as they need may arise. The RFQ state that the City may award a pool of one (1) or more consultants eligible to be considered for future work. Prequalifying firms now prior to the work actually being identified streamlines the process of deploying a firm once the need arise. The firm is selected in accordance with the referenced statute, which requires the City to determine the best firm for the work and negotiate a consultant service order based on pre-negotiated rates. The described process used by the City is typical of how most cities across the state engage engineering services in accordance with statutory requirements. ANALYSIS On September 11, 2019, the City Commission approved the issuance of Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 2019-109-ND for traffic engineering consultant services. On September 13, 2019, the RFQ was issued. A voluntary pre-proposal conference to provide information to proposers submitting a response was held on September 23, 2019. One addendum was issued to address questions from bidders. The Procurement Department issued bid notices to all firms registered for the discipline with www.bidsync.com website, as well as other known bidders. In total,over 8,000 firms were notified of which 76 accessed the advertised solicitation. RFQ responses were due and received on October 28, 2019. The City received a total of 19 proposals from the firms included in Attachment A. Page 796 of 1618 The Evaluation Committee appointed by the City Manager convened on November 21, 2019, to consider proposals received. The Committee was comprised of Michael Belush, Chief of Planning and Zoning, Planning Department; Josiel Ferrer-Diaz, Assistant Director, Transportation Department; Rogelio Madan, Chief of Community Planning and Sustainability, Planning Department; and Doraida Rodriguez, Traffic Engineer III, Department of Transportation Public Works, Miami-Dade County. The Committee was provided an overview of the project, information relative to the Citys Cone of Silence Ordinance and the Government Sunshine Law. The Committee was also provided with general information on the scope of services and a copy of each proposal. The Committee was instructed to score and rank each proposal pursuant to the evaluation criteria established in the RFQ.

HBC Engineering Company A summary of the three top-ranked firms, based on the information provided by each firm, follows: The Corradino Group, Inc. According to the information provided by the firm, The Corradino Group, Inc.was established in 1970 and is headquartered in South Florida. The Corradino Group, Inc. has provided planning, engineering design, environmental and construction management services to government entities and the private sector for 49 years. Its success is built on delivering a quality product developed through the inclusiveness of the planning process and the effectiveness of communication. Kimley-Hom and Associates, Inc. According to the information provided by the firm, Kimley-Hom and Associates, Inc. was founded as a transportation firm in 1967 and is now one of the largest and fastest growing full- service consulting firms in Florida. As a transportation engineering, planning, landscape architecture, surveying, and environmental services firm, Kimley-Hom offers a wide range of Page 797 of 1618 consulting services to local, regional, national, and international clients. Its staff will offer the City critical insights into practical program approaches for ongoing traffic engineering services. HNTB Corporation According to the information provided by the firm, HNTB Corporation was founded in 1914 and has built a reputation for excellence and innovation. HNTB represents four of the state's five expressway enterprises serving as a General Engineering Consultant or Project Manager for Florida's Turnpike Enterprise, Central Florida Expressway Authority, Miami-Dade Expressway Authority and the Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority. They have provided general transportation and traffic engineering services to the City since May of 2018. FINANCIAL INFORMATION s, The cost of the related services, determined upon successful negotiations, are subject to funds availability approved through the City's budgeting process. CONCLUSION While the City is fortunate to have received such a robust response to the RFQ, the amount of work anticipated by the Transportation Department is insufficient to keep all firms busy and interested in City projects. When considering the amount of work anticipated by the Transportation Department, it appears that awarding to three (3)firms would provide a sufficient pool of resources while allowing for each firm to receive enough work to stay interested. After reviewing all of the submissions and the Evaluation Committee process, I concur with the Evaluation Committee and find The Corradino Group, Inc., Kimley-Hom and Associates, Inc., and HNTB Corporation, the three top ranked firms respectively, to be the best qualified firms to establish a pre-qualified pool of consultants for specific tasks relating to traffic engineering services. These firms have strong teams with a wealth of knowledge in the City of Miami Beach and neighboring municipalities. The three (3)teams have direct familiarity with the City's boards, land-use regulations and/or the City's vision. Additionally, some of the prior experience provided by the firms demonstrated their ability to carry out innovative ideas, solutions, and recommendations. Further, each firm has performed well on prior projects with the City. For the reasons stated herein, I recommend that the Mayor and City Commission approve the Resolution authorizing the Administration to establish a pool of pre-qualified consultants for specific tasks relating to traffic engineering services; authorizing the Administration to enter into negotiations with The Corradino Group, Inc., as the first ranked proposer; Kimley-Hom and Associates, Inc., as the second ranked proposer, and HNTB Corporation, as the third ranked proposer, 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.

Morales, City Manager DATE: January 15, 2020 SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY MANAGER, PURSUANT TO REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS (RFQ) NO. 2019-109-ND, FOR TRAFFIC ENGINEERING CONSULTANT SERVICES; AUTHORIZING THE ADMINISTRATION TO ESTABLISH A POOL OF PRE-QUALIFIED CONSULTANTS FOR SPECIFIC TASKS RELATING TO TRAFFIC ENGINEERING SERVICES; FURTHER, AUTHORIZING THE ADMINISTRATION TO ENTER INTO NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE CORRADINO GROUP, INC., THE FIRST RANKED PROPOSER; KIMLEY-HORN AND ASSOCIATES, INC., THE SECOND RANKED PROPOSER; AND HNTB CORPORATION, THE THIRD RANKED PROPOSER; 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 accepting the recommendation of the City Manager. BACKGROUND/HISTORY Many of the projects managed by the Transportation Department require traffic engineering services. Typically, the City has outsourced the required engineering services to qualified firms through a continuing contract established in accordance with Section 287.055, Florida Statutes. In anticipation of the current contract’s expiration of February 2020, the City issued the RFQ seeking to prequalify traffic engineering consulting firms for future work as they need may arise. The RFQ state that the City may award a pool of one (1) or more consultants eligible to be considered for future work. Prequalifying firms now prior to the work actually being identified streamlines the process of deploying a firm once the need arise. The firm is selected in accordance with the referenced statute, which requires the City to determine the best firm for the work and negotiate a consultant service order based on pre-negotiated rates. The described process used by the City is typical of how most cities across the state engage engineering services in accordance with statutory requirements. ANALYSIS On September 11, 2019, the City Commission approved the issuance of Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 2019-109-ND for traffic engineering consultant services. On September 13, 2019, the RFQ was issued. A voluntary pre-proposal conference to provide information to proposers submitting a response was held on September 23, 2019. One addendum was issued to address questions from bidders. The Procurement Department issued bid notices to all firms registered for the discipline with www.bidsync.com website, as well as other known bidders. In total, over 8,000 firms were notified of which 76 accessed the advertised solicitation. RFQ responses were due and received on October 28, 2019. The City received a total of 19 proposals from the firms included in Attachment A. The Evaluation Committee appointed by the City Manager convened on November 21, 2019, to consider proposals received. The Committee was comprised of Michael Belush, Chief of Planning and Zoning, Planning Department; Josiel Ferrer-Diaz, Assistant Director, Transportation Department; Rogelio Madan, Chief of Community Planning and Sustainability, Planning Department; and Doraida Rodriguez, Traffic Engineer III, Department of Transportation Public Works, Miami-Dade County. 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 and a copy of each proposal. 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 proposers being ranked by the Evaluation Committee in the following order (See Attachment A): 1st. The Corradino Group, Inc. 2nd.

For Atkins, the compass represents the corporation’s ethics and compliance program. It symbolizes Atkins’ commitment to its code of conduct and the values, principles, and standards that provide direction for our employees in an increasingly complex business environment. We all face ethical dilemmas in our professional decisions and actions. The solutions are not always easy, but we do have choices—and when we have questions, we can make integrity the compass that guides everything we do. A message to all employees from our Chief Executive Officer As part of Atkins, we all have a responsibility to do what is right and to comply with the law. Our code of conduct for business ethics and compliance, Building for the future: Our values, principles, and standards, provides the guidelines to help us do that. Every employee of Atkins is required to behave in a manner that is consistent with the standards set forth in the code. If you do not understand something, you must seek counsel from your immediate supervisor, another manager or supervisor, our Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer, or other company resources in Legal, Finance, or Human Resources. If an ethical dilemma or concern comes to your attention, it is your responsibility to let us know. How we conduct our business is every bit as important as what we do. We have worked hard to build and enhance our reputation, and I thank you for everything you have done to help us achieve that. Those we serve and partner with in the marketplace, as well as the communities where we live and work, have come to trust that we at Atkins will “do the right thing.” Maintaining that trust is crucial to our continued success. I am confident that each one of you will follow the letter and the spirit of this code and help our company secure its bright future. Regards, L.

We are committed to treating our suppliers and business partners with fairness, dignity, and respect. Company. As an organization, we have a number of responsibilities to our shareholders. Each of us is responsible for making proper and appropriate use of Company funds and assets. We also are responsible for maintaining accurate and complete Company records and data and avoiding conflicts of interest. Communities. We believe in the importance of the health and safety of the public and never sacrificing quality for profit. Being a citizen of the global marketplace also means that we are responsible for understanding the needs and challenges of the communities in which we live and work. In addition, we acknowledge the responsibilities associated with our professions. Each of us on the Atkins team— including members of our Board of Directors, employees of subsidiary entities, Company affiliates, consultants, subconsultants, contract employees, and others—is responsible for following the standards outlined in the code when conducting business for or on behalf of the Company. By working for the Company, we are agreeing to act in accordance with the spirit as well as the letter of this code and the Company policies and procedures that apply to our jobs. Each of us is responsible for our own conduct. No one has the authority to make anyone violate our code. Any attempt to direct or otherwise influence any employee to commit a violation is itself a violation of our code. Each of us has a responsibility to properly report any violation or reasonably suspected violation in accordance with this code. Alleged violations will be investigated and appropriate action taken.

If you are unsure about an action or decision, ask yourself: Do I have all of the information I need to make a responsible decision? How would I feel if I were on the receiving end of this action or decision? Would I feel fairly treated? Am I complying with the letter and spirit of Company policies and applicable laws and regulations as well as the Company’s values? Would I want to read about my action or decision on the front page of the newspaper? Does it feel right? Because our code and Company policies and procedures cannot address every legal or ethical issue we might face in the course of business, we all must use common sense and good judgment every day. Purpose and use of our code of conduct Return to table of contents RFQ 2014-116-SR: Traffi c Engineering Consulting Services | 22 9 Atkins Code of Conduct Asking questions and raising concerns The code is designed to serve as a broad framework of the ethical and legal principles that we are required to abide by when acting on behalf of the Company. We can learn more about these principles by referring to Company policies and procedures, which address specific areas of potential concern or risk. These policies and procedures are on AXIS. Because our code and Company policies and procedures cannot address every legal or ethical issue we might face in the course of business, we must use common sense and good judgment every day. Acting with integrity, honesty, and fairness means speaking up when we: • Are unsure about the proper course of action and need advice. • Believe that someone acting on behalf of the Company is doing, or may be about to do, something that violates the law or our standards of conduct. The Company encourages open discussion of ethics and compliance issues by all employees, supervisors, and managers. If we have any doubt about the course to follow, we should ask for help and consult Company resources to determine whether an action is proper. Where to go for help If you are unsure of how to proceed in a particular situation, if you have a business conduct question or concern, or if you suspect wrongdoing, it is crucial to discuss the issue with appropriate Company personnel. Resources are available to assist you. Purpose and use of the code The laws and standards for business conduct are more demanding than ever. Meeting those standards is the right thing to do, and also improves the Company’s performance. The code provides an introduction to important laws and policies that everyone in the Company must follow. The purpose of the code is to help each of us: • Understand and follow the basic ethics and compliance rules that apply to our jobs. • Know when and whom to ask for advice. The code addresses general ethics and compliance concepts and gives employees a broad outline of acceptable behavior. The policies and procedures that apply to our jobs are based on the concepts in the code. The Company’s policies and procedures are constantly reviewed. As they are revised and updated, and as additional policies and procedures are implemented, they will be incorporated into the code. The code, in addition to the Company’s policies and procedures, may be changed from time to time by the Company. Any changes will be promptly communicated. For up-to-date information about changes to the code, Company policies or procedures, and other information related to ethics and compliance, look for Ethics and Compliance on the Company’s intranet (AXIS). We encourage you to first speak with your direct supervisor or manager if you have an ethics or compliance issue. Help or advice is also available from: • A senior manager or vice president, or another member of management if: (1) your immediate supervisor is unable to resolve the issue, or (2) you are uncomfortable speaking to your supervisor about the issue. • A Human Resources representative; • A member of the Legal Department; • The Finance and Accounting Department; • Environment, Health, and Safety Department; or • Other Company resources. Additionally, if you wish to escalate a concern, we offer these resources: • Our Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer located in the Tampa office by phone (813.282.7275) or by email: TPAEthics.na@atkinsglobal.com • The Company’s Ethics and Compliance Whistleblower Hotline (the Hotline) (800.587.5104), which is available to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you are unsure about where to find help, uncomfortable about using resources listed in the code, or want to raise an issue anonymously, the Ethics and Compliance Hotline is the resource to use. Pu r p o s e a n d u s e o f ou r c o d e o f c o n d u c t Return to table of contents RFQ 2014-116-SR: Traffi c Engineering Consulting Services | 23 The Company may report the misconduct to the appropriate authorities. The Company will cooperate with government investigations as appropriate. When we are notified of an external investigation, we will take prompt action to preserve relevant documents and data. Non-retaliation policy Any employee who in good faith seeks advice, raises a concern, or reports misconduct to internal points of contact or external authorities is doing the right thing. The Company understands that employees may not be willing to report ethics or compliance problems if they feel they may be subjected to harassment or retaliation by their supervisor or coworkers. Accordingly, the Company will not permit retaliation of any kind against good-faith reports or complaints of violations of our code or other illegal or unethical conduct. It is important to note that retaliation can take many forms, with some being more obvious than others. The Company will not demote, terminate, or otherwise discriminate against employees for raising concerns. Additionally, colleagues should not alienate employees who have raised concerns; such employees should be treated with respect. Any person, including supervisors or managers, who is found to have engaged in an act of retaliation against an individual in response to a good-faith report of a violation or suspected violation will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. Employees who believe they have suffered retaliation for raising concerns or asking a question should seek help immediately from one of the resources listed previously. Note to employees This code does not change the terms and conditions of our employment. Its intent is to help each of us understand what is expected of us to be sure that we always act ethically and legally when representing the Company. Reporting suspected violations allows the Company to investigate and take prompt remedial action. You can make reports by telephone, through email, in person, or by contacting the Ethics and Compliance Hotline. This policy is not intended to prohibit you from reporting violations of the code or any laws or regulations to external authorities. Our Company is committed to reviewing or investigating—and taking appropriate action regarding— all allegations of violations of its policies and applicable laws. The review and investigation will be kept confidential to the extent possible, regardless of the outcome. We will take corrective action and make any necessary changes. Anyone violating our standards of conduct will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. As employees, we have an obligation to cooperate fully with internal investigations. This may include providing information, documents, and personal interviews when requested. Failure to cooperate, including but not limited to, misleading, lying, destroying or altering records, or failing to respond promptly to requests for information by investigators is grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. The Hotline is operated by an independent organization. A call specialist will listen to your concern, make a detailed summary of the call, and forward the information to the Company’s Ethics and Compliance Department so that the matter can be addressed. If you wish to remain anonymous, the Hotline will assign a personal reference number so that you can check back for a response or provide more information. Giving your name, however, can help us look into the matter more thoroughly. As explained below, the Company has a firm policy against retaliation for raising a concern in good faith. The address below can be used to mail your concern: Ethics and Compliance Office 4030 W. Boy Scout Blvd., Ste 700 Tampa, FL 33607 Violations and cooperating with internal investigations If you believe that someone associated with the Company has violated a provision of our code or any laws or regulations, you have a personal responsibility to bring the issue in good faith to the attention of one of the contacts listed above and on the previous page. “Good faith” means that you have provided information that you believe to be honest and accurate even if you are later proved to be mistaken. Building for the future: Our values, principles, and standards10 Return to table of contents RFQ 2014-116-SR: Traffi c Engineering Consulting Services | 24 11 Atkins Code of Conduct practices used to strengthen business relationships, our position is clear: We will not solicit, accept or provide gifts, favors, or entertainment if it will obligate or appear to obligate the person who receives it. We will never offer, accept, or provide to anyone cash or cash equivalents (for example, gift certificates, bank checks, traveler’s checks, money orders, loans, stock, or stock options). We want to avoid even the appearance of misconduct; therefore, we limit the types of gifts and entertainment (sometimes referred to as “business courtesies”) that we may offer or give to, or solicit or accept from, firms, agencies, and persons with whom we do business. “Gifts and entertainment” or “business courtesies” means anything of value, including but not limited to gifts, services, meals, entertainment, hospitality, transportation, use of vacation facilities, home improvements, membership fees or dues, tickets, and gift certificates. The potential list is endless, and these are just examples. (For more information, see Corporate Policy #108.0, Business Ethics.) Ordinarily, we are permitted to pay for and accept customary amenities, such as meals, as long as expenses are reasonable and associated with a business purpose. A good test as to whether a gift or entertainment should be offered or accepted is to ask yourself if public knowledge of the gift or hospitality would be embarrassing or would jeopardize important relationships with clients, employees, suppliers, or the general public. Giving gifts and entertainment The Company is committed to effectively marketing its products and services based on quality, price, service, and reputation for integrity in conducting its business. The Company’s funds or assets must not be used for gifts to, or entertainment of, Responsibilities to our clients Quality performance As professionals, we have an ethical and legal responsibility to the public in general to perform to a standard of care consistent with that of the industries we serve and the assignments we undertake. Moreover, we must achieve our clients’ expectations as defined by our contracts, and we must conform to applicable laws. These requirements define the basic framework of quality performance, which includes quality control, quality assurance, and continuous quality improvement. (See Corporate Policy #400.0, Quality.) Quality performance is the backbone of the Company’s Corporate Quality Initiative and is an expectation of the Company’s employees. Gifts and entertainment We win projects or assignments based on the merits of our people, expertise, and services. While reasonable gifts and entertainment are common Re s p o n s i b i l i t i e s t o ou r c l i e n t s Return to table of contents RFQ 2014-116-SR: Traffi c Engineering Consulting Services | 25 Building for the future: Our values, principles, and standards12 likely to be voided, and the Company is likely not to be paid for goods or services provided. The Company expressly prohibits the expenditure of any funds for any purpose that may constitute a violation of the law or regulation of any jurisdiction in which the Company operates. Gifts and entertainment for government officials and employees What may be customary when conducting nongovernmental, commercial business often may not be acceptable in doing business with government officials or employees and may be prohibited by the particularly restrictive and complex rules and practices that govern the acceptance of meals, entertainment, gifts, or other business courtesies. In fact, certain commercial business practices, if applied in a government setting, can lead to administrative or civil penalties, or even criminal sanctions, both for individual employees and for the Company. Special laws apply to U.S. federal government employees, including members of Congress and their staffs. In general, government personnel are prohibited from accepting, and we are prohibited from offering, any items having more than minimal monetary value. The prohibition includes meals, transportation, lodging, services, conference fees, vendor promotional training, and discounts not available to the general public. Similar restrictions may apply to state and local officials and employees, and to officials and employees in other countries, who are directly or indirectly involved in government procurements. clients, suppliers, and subcontractors unless the following criteria are met: • The business courtesy is not offered to influence or obligate the recipient with respect to general or specific action, or as a quid pro quo (that is, something offered for something in return for the business courtesy). • The business courtesy does not violate any laws, regulations, or standards of conduct of either our Company or the recipient’s organization. It is our responsibility to inquire about prohibitions or limitations of the recipient’s organization before offering any business courtesy. Further, Company employees have the duty to inquire and seek the advice of the Company’s Legal Department in order to fully understand any local laws and regulations governing the giving of gifts and/or entertainment. • The business courtesy is consistent with accepted business practices and does not exceed the norm in the context of the person giving or receiving the courtesy, is infrequent in nature, and is not lavish or extravagant. • Gifts and entertainment must be properly recorded in accordance with Company policy. Some jurisdictions outside of the United States more strictly regulate the giving of gifts to private individuals, including clients and suppliers. In other jurisdictions and under certain circumstances in the U.S. as well, gift giving between private parties for a corrupt purpose is unlawful. Contracts awarded under such circumstances are The Company supports these rules, and employees are expected to comply with both the spirit and the letter of any laws or regulations. Even though government employees are responsible for tracking and monitoring restrictions that apply to them, no employee of the Company shall knowingly violate any applicable rules. If you are unsure about what is or is not appropriate, you must seek guidance from the Legal Department. To avoid any appearance of impropriety, and to avoid any questions as to conduct under laws and regulations, the Company has adopted a policy of discouraging the provision of entertainment and the giving of gifts, gratuities, and favors to federal, state, and local government employees, agents, or officials. However, there may be some instances when the Company may choose to provide a gift or entertainment to a government official as a common business courtesy. In such cases, a gift may be given or entertainment may be provided only if the criteria listed on this page are met. Gifts and entertainment for foreign government officials and employees of foreign governments The general guidance regarding gifts and payments to government officials set forth previously applies to both domestic and foreign government officials. Company employees must understand that additional restrictions on the provision of gifts or payments to foreign government officials are imposed by both U.S. and foreign laws. The Company is committed to effectively marketing its products and services based on quality, price, service, and reputation for integrity in conducting its business. Return to table of contents RFQ 2014-116-SR: Traffi c Engineering Consulting Services | 26 13 Atkins Code of Conduct It is a violation of U.S. federal law to corruptly influence or attempt to influence foreign public officials in order to improperly obtain or retain any business advantage. Employees should be particularly mindful of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (FCPA) as amended by the International Anti-Bribery and Fair Competition Act of 1998. It is a violation both of this law and of Company policy for an employee or an agent of the Company directly or indirectly, including by or through an agent or representative or any other person, to: • Give, offer, or promise anything of value to a foreign public official, government employee, politician, or candidate for public office, including a public international organization or political party, with the intent to influence such official, politician, political party, or employee in his or her official capacity, or; • Induce such official, politician, political party, or employee to use his or her influence with his or her government to assist the Company in obtaining or retaining business, or; • Secure any improper advantage. Payments need not be in cash to be illegal. Over the years, many non-cash items have been the basis of federal prosecutions, including travel expenses, golf outings, automobiles, and loans with favorable interest rates or repayment terms. If you have questions about what may be permissible, contact the Legal Department. Many foreign countries have implemented their own laws that criminalize bribery of foreign public officials in connection with international business no matter where in the world the act of bribery occurs. In some cases, the laws of these countries are stricter than U.S. laws, in that they have made it a criminal offense for any of their citizens or employees of their companies to bribe, offer to bribe, or attempt to bribe any person anywhere. Under the laws of these countries, it is a crime to bribe not only public government officials but also private-sector individuals. All employees should ensure that they comply with applicable criminal laws, in every jurisdiction. On July 1, 2011, the UK Bribery Act 2010 took effect. This Act, while similar to the FCPA, is designed to tighten the UK’s regulatory framework. Any company with a UK office, with employees who are UK citizens, or providing any services to a UK organization is covered by the Act. While the FCPA permits small facilitation payments, the UK Bribery Act 2010 does not. All facilitation payments MUST be reviewed and approved in advance by the General Counsel/Chief Compliance Officer. Receiving gifts and entertainment Please note: Although the receipt of gifts and entertainment may be more common in the context of supplier relationships, these guidelines are included here for reference and convenience. Just as we have strict rules regarding the offering or providing of gifts and entertainment, we must also be careful how we receive them. Suppliers are vital to our Company’s success, which is why our relationships with them must be based entirely on sound business decisions and fair dealing. Business gifts and entertainment can build goodwill, but they can also make it harder to be objective about the person providing them. No employee, or any person with whom the employee has a close personal relationship*, shall solicit cash, loans, or cash equivalents of any amount, or any gifts or entertainment, or any other preferential treatment from any of the Company’s actual or potential subcontractors, suppliers, or clients. * Persons in a “close personal relationship” to you can include the following: spouse, same or opposite sex domestic partner, parents, stepparents, children, stepchildren, siblings, stepsiblings, nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles, grandparents, grandchildren, in-laws, and any person in your household Q Our client has asked us to set up a working lunch for a group that will include both federal and state employees. The state employees are allowed to accept a reasonable lunch and will expect lunch to be provided. What should we do? Provide a modest lunch (for example, sandwiches and chips), typically less than $20 per person, depending on the jurisdiction. For audit purposes, maintain in the files documentation of the meeting attendees and the cost of lunch. Federal employees will be required to pay for their own lunches; therefore, document actual costs and indicate that the federal employees paid for their individual lunches. Provide a basket, along with a suggested contribution amount, for federal employees to deposit their lunch payments.

Each employee is personally responsible for ensuring that his or her acceptance of such meals, refreshments, or entertainment is proper and could not reasonably be construed in any way as an attempt to secure favorable treatment. Honesty in communications and contracting We are committed to conducting our business fairly and honestly. We must: • Be honest, accurate, and truthful in all statements, communications, and representations and properly manage our business and contractual relations. • Exercise care to prevent any material or nonapproved changes from our contract obligations and scope of work. • Ensure that services provided by the Company meet our contract requirements. • We as employees may accept common courtesies usually associated with accepted business practices, provided: - It is lawful to do so. - The acceptance is not for the purpose of influencing a decision or securing favorable treatment. - The acceptance will build goodwill and encourage successful business relations. - The courtesies are not lavish or extravagant under the circumstances. - The courtesies are not part of a pattern of frequent acceptance of courtesies from the same person or firm. - The employee accepting the courtesies would feel comfortable knowing that his or her managers and coworkers, as well as the public, know about the courtesies. • Gifts in the form of cash, loans, stocks, bonds, or similar types of cash equivalents must not be accepted, regardless of amount. • It is recognized that in certain countries, due to cultural customs, refusal of personal gifts with a value materially in excess of nominal value could result in embarrassing business situations or unintentional insult. The propriety of employees keeping such gifts for personal use should be discussed with the Company’s Legal Department in each case promptly upon receipt. Time sheets and expense reports Time sheets must be completed truthfully and accurately. We must ensure that hours worked and costs are applied to the account for which they were incurred. We must never submit, or direct or pressure any employee to submit, time charges that do not accurately reflect actual time worked on a particular contract or project. In addition, our work as a government contractor has special recordkeeping requirements. Our time records and expense reports, as well as other information we prepare, may be provided directly to the government or may form the basis for a representation or claim the Company makes to the government. For more information, refer to Corporate Policy 650.0, Timekeeping and Corporate Policy 403.0, Expense Reports. Gathering competitive information To compete effectively in the marketplace, it is necessary and legal to fairly and honestly gather or receive government or competitive information. We must compete fairly and honestly, and we will not solicit, gather, receive, possess, or use information about competitors or government information that we No gift, favor, or entertainment should be solicited, accepted, or provided if it will obligate or appear to obligate the person who receives it. Q A What are legitimate methods of gathering competitive information? We recognize that it is necessary and legal to gather competitive information fairly and honestly. Legitimate sources of competitive information can include newspapers, press accounts, information on the Internet or at trade shows, other public information, and conversations with clients who are not competitors and who are not discussing confidential or competitive information. Return to table of contents RFQ 2014-116-SR: Traffi c Engineering Consulting Services | 28 15 Atkins Code of Conduct should not have or that we have gathered or received by inappropriate means. Additionally, we will not give such information to others. Solicitation, receipt, possession, knowledge of, use, or transmittal of certain government or competitive information is a violation of the law, and some forms of information gathering can violate the law as well as our own Company standards. We are committed to avoiding even the appearance of improper solicitation, possession, receipt, use, or transmittal of government or competitive information. We will not solicit, receive, possess, use, or transmit: • Any confidential or proprietary information belonging to someone else to which the Company is not legitimately entitled from a client, competitor, or any other source. • In a federal or other government procurement, Source Selection Information (SSI) that is not publicly available, whether marked SSI or not. Such information includes competitor bid prices or proposed costs or prices; source selection or technical evaluation plans; technical, cost, or price evaluations of competitors’ proposals; rankings of bids, proposals, or competitive range determinations; reports of source selection panels, boards, or councils; or any other information marked as SSI. • Confidential or proprietary information gained through association with another firm in a joint venture in which the joint venture agreement provides for protection of this information. • Confidential or proprietary information in any form possessed by new hires from previous employers. If you are uncertain as to whether a solicitation, receipt, possession, use, or release of nonpublic information is unauthorized, do not distribute or use it until the question has been reviewed and resolved by the Legal Department. Anti-kickback and bribery policy We believe in safeguarding the integrity of the procurement process for our clients. Therefore, we will not offer, solicit, give, or accept anything of value as a basis for giving, obtaining, or retaining contracts or favorable treatment under contracts. If you have reason to believe that a bribe or kickback has been given or accepted, report it immediately to the Legal Department or Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer. Government audits and investigations Our business is highly regulated, and occasionally our personnel may come into contact with government officials responsible for conducting audits or enforcing the law. For example, the U.S. government has the right to examine selected Company books, records, and data. State and local agencies may also have similar rights. It is the Company’s policy to cooperate with government investigations as appropriate. We will deal honestly with government officials and coordinate all requests for information through the Legal Department. Any information provided must be accurate, honest, and truthful. We are committed to avoiding even the appearance of improper solicitation, possession, receipt, use, or transmittal of government or competitive information. Q While attending a conference, I overheard one of our competitors describe a new construction process they will use for an upcoming project. Since they will bid against us on the project, should I give this information to anyone? Under some circumstances, the Company could legally use this information. However, the rules regarding proper use are complex. Therefore, before using or disclosing the information to anyone within the Company, you should consult the Legal Department or Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer.

Strict rules may govern the hire, attempt to hire, or discussion of hiring certain employees of many government agencies. Before discussing employment with any current or former government employee, we must consult and receive prior written approval from the Legal Department and applicable Business Unit Director. If a current or former government employee initiates any employment discussions, we must immediately contact and obtain advice from the Legal Department. Fair competition We believe our clients and society at large benefit from fair, free, and open markets. Therefore, we will not engage in any practices that would “fix” prices, unfairly restrain trade, or keep competitors out of the marketplace. In addition, we will not: • Communicate with competitors about controlling prices, allocating markets, boycotting clients or suppliers, or limiting the sale of services. • Make false statements about our competitors. • Improperly receive or use our competitors’ proprietary information, including pricing information. Organizational conflicts of interest The Company complies with laws and regulations prohibiting organizational conflicts of interest. We must take appropriate steps to recognize and avoid organizational conflicts of interest in which the activities of one service or division of the Company may preclude another service or division of the Company from pursuing a related opportunity. If an organizational conflict of interest exists, we must disclose and mitigate such conflicts in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Q We have just been notified that the U.S. government will be conducting an audit at our location. What should we do? We have adopted procedures for responding to federal, state, and local government inquiries or investigations into our business activities. First, contact the Legal Department immediately when you become aware of an inquiry, request for information, or investigation by any government entity. Second, be sure that records relevant to the inquiry are preserved. Third, when requested to furnish financial data to government auditors, responses are to be approved and provided by our President and Chief Financial Officer. Release of any other records and data requested by any government agency will be approved as appropriate by the Legal Department.

Diversity and fair treatment We support diversity in our workplace and among our clients and suppliers. We have established a Corporate Diversity Advisory Council to help strengthen our corporate commitment to developing best practices in recruiting, retaining, and advancing people of diverse backgrounds. Discrimination against any employee or prospective employee, or the making of disparaging comments or criticisms, on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, medical condition or disability, sexual orientation, veteran status, or any other protected group is strictly Safety, health & environment The Company strives to provide its employees with a clean, safe, and healthy place to work. Each of us is responsible for, and shares in the benefits of, a safe and healthy work environment. Employees must understand the shared responsibilities of abiding by safety rules and practices, taking the necessary precautions to protect ourselves and coworkers, and reporting immediately any unsafe conditions, practices, or accidents. Our Safety, Health & Environment Department maintains a compre- hensive site on AXIS which details the elements of the Program, including our Safety, Health & Environment policies, procedures, and safety planning tools. If you have questions or want to report an unhealthy or unsafe condition, immediately contact your supervisor, the Company’s Safety, Health & Environment Director or other Company resources. To report an accident, contact the Safety, Health and Environment Hotline at 877.202.2794. Drugs and alcohol The Company expects employees to report to work able to perform their duties, and free from the influence of illegal drugs, controlled substances, abuse of prescribed or over-the-counter drugs, or alcohol. The interests of our clients and other employees demand full attention and concentration. Reporting to work under the influence of any illegal drug or alcohol; improperly using medication; or using, possessing, buying, or selling illegal drugs or controlled substances while on the job or on Company property is forbidden and may result in immediate discharge. prohibited. This policy relates to all phases of employment, including recruitment, hiring, placement, promotion, transfer, compensation, benefits, training, educational, social, and recreational programs, as well as the use of Company facilities. Our officers, managers, and supervisors at all levels are responsible for ensuring that the spirit and intent of this policy are consistently practiced. If you have questions on equal employment equity, or if you have observed or experienced any form of discrimination, contact the Company’s Equal Employment Opportunity Officer in Human Resources or the Legal Department. Also refer to Corporate Policy 225.0, Discrimination/ Harassment/Retaliation. Workplace harassment We are expected to conduct ourselves in a manner appropriate to the workplace, to keep work environments free of harassment, and to treat others with respect and fairness.

Sexual harassment, in particular, can include sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, unwanted physical contact, or repeated and unwelcome sexual suggestions. Examples of other prohibited conduct include offensive racial, ethnic, religious, age-related, or sexual jokes or insults; distributing or displaying offensive pictures or cartoons; and using voicemail, email, or other electronic devices to transmit derogatory or discriminatory information. If we observe or experience any form of harassment, we must report it immediately so that the Company can properly address it. Such reports may be made to a Human Resources representative, to the Company Legal Department, or via the Hotline. For more information, refer to Corporate Policy 225.0, Discrimination/ Harassment/Retaliation, and Corporate Policy 108.0, Business Ethics. Employee privacy We respect every employee’s right to confidentiality of certain employment records, including certain health information, as well as the privacy of personal activities outside of business hours. Employees who are responsible for maintaining personal information, and those who are provided access to such information, must not disclose it inappropriately. While we respect an employee’s right to privacy, we must also recognize that there are situations where it may be necessary for the Company to access employee communications. Our Company retains rights of access to all Company property, including computers and all communications, email and voicemail messages, records, and information created in the business setting, regardless of whether the individual considers the information or communication to be private. For additional information, see Use of the Company’s Information Systems on the following page. Q What types of incidents must I report? Atkins requires that any workplace injury, vehicle accident, property damage event, or environmental release be reported to your supervisor and the Safety, Health & Environment Department as soon as possible. All injuries and vehicle accidents must be reported the same day they occur. In addition, any unplanned event in which any of the above could have occurred, termed a Near Miss, must also be reported within 24 hours of the incident. All reporting to Safety, Health & Environment can be made via the Incident Reporting Hotline – 877.202.2794. These processes are summarized on our Incident Reporting Wallet Card, which you are urged to print out and keep on your person at all times as a quick-reference guide. A It is acceptable if the colleague is not in a direct or indirect reporting relationship to you. You must use good judgment to ensure that if the offer is unwelcome, you do not pursue it further or create a hostile or intimidating environment. Q I would like to ask a colleague out on a date.

Company resources include, but are not limited to, our facilities, computers, inventory, trade secrets, office supplies, equipment, vehicles, products, confidential information, and funds. Additionally, our reputation and identity are among the Company’s most valuable assets. All employees are responsible for using good judgment to ensure that these resources are not misused or wasted. Theft, carelessness, and waste have a direct impact on our profitability and, ultimately, on our jobs. Also, misuse or misappropriation of Company assets may be considered criminal and can bring severe consequences. Protection of Company and other confidential information Information is an important asset, and we each share a special responsibility to protect our Company’s confidential information and the confidential information of others. All employees, officers, and directors must maintain the privacy of confidential information entrusted to us by the Company or its subcontractors, clients, or joint venture or other business partners, and may not disclose it unless written authorization to do so is provided by a Company official with appropriate authority. Confidential information includes nonpublic information that might be of use to our competitors or harmful to the Company or our clients if disclosed. Keep documents that contain confidential information protected and secure.

It includes literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture to name a few. The ease with which we can share knowledge has many benefits, but it also creates risks for our company. We need to observe the rules governing information sharing to protect ourselves and Atkins from copyright infringement.

You may use the email, network, and Internet systems for incidental personal use, provided such use does not interfere with the Company’s business operations or your employment Use of information systems Information systems (hardware, software, and data that are stored, processed, and reported) are critical to our business success. Examples include desktop or laptop computers, telephones, file servers and networks, email messages, and documents. Everyone who uses our information systems is responsible for ensuring that these resources operate as they should. This means we must use these systems responsibly and primarily for legitimate business purposes. Company policy prohibits the use of our information systems for: • Engaging in communications that might be considered illegal, offensive, defamatory, harassing, obscene, vulgar, or otherwise disruptive to normal business activity. • Visiting inappropriate Internet sites. • Improperly disseminating copyrighted or licensed materials or confidential and proprietary information. obligations. Excessive personal use of the systems is not acceptable. Communications that you have at work (including email, voicemail, network, and Internet access) are not necessarily private, and confidentiality cannot be assured. Our Company reserves the right to monitor or make records of all such communications to verify that Company policies are being followed or for other reasons. The Company also reserves the right to disclose specific use of these systems to others. For more information, refer to Corporate Policy 501.0, Information Technology Security, and Corporate Policy 305.0, Personal Telephone Calls and Mail Facility. Accuracy of books and records All Company business information, documents, and electronic data, including internal or external correspondence, memoranda, or communications of any type, must be prepared as completely, honestly, and accurately as is reasonably possible and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and practices. Company business documents must be preserved and retained in accordance with Company policy. Refer to Corporate Policy 226.0, Records Retention and Disposal.

No undisclosed or unrecorded fund may be established for any purpose. We are expected to report to the Company when we reasonably believe that any person has engaged in questionable accounting, management, or auditing practices. We can contact the Finance and Accounting Department, Legal Department, or Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer with accounting or auditing concerns. Remember, we have the option of voicing concerns anonymously, by calling the Whistleblower Hotline. Conflicts of interest A conflict of interest occurs when our private interest interferes, or even appears to interfere, with the interests of the Company as a whole. A conflict situation can arise when we take actions or have interests that may make it difficult for us to make objective and fair decisions when performing our jobs. Conflicts of interest between personal and official responsibilities may arise in a variety of ways. Although we cannot list every possible conflict of interest, below are some common examples that illustrate actual, apparent, or potential conflicts of interest. Outside employment with a competitor. We may not compete with the Company or consult with, be employed in any capacity by, or perform services for or represent in any way a competitor of our Company. (This includes any person or organization that is seeking to become a competitor.) Outside employment with a supplier or client. We may not be employed by, serve as a director of, or perform services for or represent in any way a supplier or client of the Company. (This includes any person or organization that is seeking to become a supplier or client.) Financial interests in other businesses. We may not own, directly or indirectly, an interest in any business that does or seeks to do business with the Company, or seeks to compete with the Company. However, it is usually not considered a conflict of interest to make investments of no more than 1 percent of the outstanding securities of a public company, no more than $25,000 of a privately owned company, or no more than 5 percent of your and/or your family members’ total assets. We can never invest in a supplier if we have any involvement in the selection or assessment of, or negotiations with, the supplier, or if we supervise anyone who has such responsibility. Also, we can never invest in a client if we are responsible for dealing with that client or supervise anyone with such responsibility. Corporate opportunities. When the opportunity arises, we owe a duty to the Company to advance its legitimate interests. We may not take personally for ourselves opportunities that are discovered through the use of Company property, information, or position, or use Company property, information, or position for personal gain. Theft, carelessness, and waste have a direct impact on our profitability and, ultimately, on all of our jobs. I am planning an office event where wine and beer will be served. Do I need to split out the alcohol costs separately when I report the expenses? Yes. Because we do business with government entities, we must make provisions for certain costs that cannot be charged to the government; for example, alcoholic beverages. These costs require special accounting treatment. Other examples include entertaining clients and potential clients (such as tickets to sporting events, theater tickets, golf tournaments), general advertising, first-class airfare, and flowers or birthday cakes for employees. Please note that government accounting rules are complex and require careful attention. Questions should be directed to the Finance and Accounting Department.

It is unlawful for the Company to extend or maintain credit, arrange for the extension of credit, or renew an extension of credit in the form of a personal loan to or for any director or executive officer. Perhaps the most important word to remember when it comes to conflicts of interest and outside business activities is “disclose”. Disclosures must be timely. We have the obligation to be transparent in our dealings on behalf of the Company. If we are ever in a situation in which someone might question our loyalty to the Company, we must disclose it. It is our responsibility to voluntarily report a conflict of interest without the need for specific inquiry by the Company. We may not engage in any conduct involving a possible or apparent conflict of interest unless we receive prior written permission from the Legal Department. Many conflicts of interest can be resolved in a mutually acceptable way, but they must be addressed. Failure to disclose a conflict may lead to disciplinary action. Certain relationships. We may find ourselves in a situation where we have a close relationship with a supplier, client, competitor, or employee of the Company. Such situations are not necessarily prohibited, but we are required to disclose the situation to our supervisors and to the Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer. In general, anyone with whom we have a close relationship should not have any business dealings with us, with anyone working in our business unit, or with anyone who reports to us. In addition, we should never be in a situation where we have the ability to hire, supervise, affect terms and conditions of employment, or influence the management of anyone with whom we have a close relationship, regardless of whether that person is a Company employee. We must also be careful not to disclose confidential business information to anyone with whom we have a close relationship. Persons in a close relationship to us can include the following: spouse, same or opposite sex domestic partner, parents, stepparents, children, stepchildren, siblings, stepsiblings, nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles, grandparents, grandchildren, in-laws, and any person in our household. In addition, while the Company does not specifically prohibit employees from engaging in outside business activities, employees and managers are expected to disclose to their supervisor and to the Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer, in a timely manner, any actual or potential outside employment, consulting, or other business activities with any external business. Refer to Corporate Policy 108.0, Business Ethics. Records retention related to litigation or investigations If we learn of a subpoena, a pending or contemplated lawsuit, or a government investigation, we must immediately contact the Legal Department. We will retain and preserve all records that may pertain to or be relevant to the subpoena, the litigation, or the investigation until informed by our Legal Department as to how to proceed. In addition, once we have learned of a subpoena, lawsuit, or government investigation, we must take steps to preserve from destruction all relevant records that, without intervention, would automatically be destroyed or erased (such as email or voicemail messages). Destruction of such records, even if inadvertent, could seriously harm our Company. If we have questions regarding whether a particular record pertains to a potential investigation, subpoena, or lawsuit, or how to preserve particular types of records, we must preserve the records in question and ask the Legal Department for guidance. For detailed instructions on records retention, refer to Corporate Policy 226.0, Records Retention and Disposal. I am thinking of accepting a part-time job. Do I need to disclose this? If you think you may have a conflict of interest or an appearance of a conflict of interest, or that others could possibly believe an activity or relationship you are engaged in is a conflict of interest, you must contact the Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer or the Legal Department for appropriate review and resolution. Q A Many conflicts of interest can be resolved in a mutually acceptable way, but they must be addressed.

It is Company policy to comply with applicable customs, anti-boycott, embargo, export, and trade control laws, rules, and regulations. The Company regularly verifies that its clients, potential clients, and business partners are not subject to a U.S. embargo, sanction, or transaction control. In international dealings, we must know and comply with export controls, trade restrictions, and other laws pertaining to conducting business internationally. In some circumstances, a license may be required for certain disclosures or activities that take place in the U.S. If we are involved in international business, we must contact the Legal Department to make sure we understand the standards applicable to our business activities. Applicable international trade regulations include: International traffic in arms regulations, a U.S. law administered by the U.S. Department of State that regulates the international transfers of certain military equipment or technology and may require prior reporting, approval, and licensing by the Department of State. Export administration regulations, a federal law administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce that regulates exports of commercial and dual-use commodities and technology and may require prior Department of Commerce reporting, approval, and licensing. Dual-use items are products, software, and technical data developed for civil applications that can also be used for military purposes without further modification. Items requiring export licenses appear on the Commerce Control List in the Export Administration Regulations. For more information, please see Anti-Boycott Policy 121.0 and Anti-Bribery Policy 122.0. Anti-money laundering Anti-money laundering laws prohibit engaging in transactions when it is known that the funds involved were derived from illegal activities. We comply with applicable anti-money laundering laws, rules, and regulations of the U.S. and other countries having comparable laws. Communications with media We want to provide open, accurate, and consistent communications to the public. To maintain the consistency and accuracy of this information, corporate spokespersons are designated to respond to all inquiries. Only these spokespersons are authorized to release information to the public at appropriate times. Unless you have been designated as a spokesperson, do not respond to inquiries from the press. In addition, our contractual agreements often require that we obtain authorization from our clients prior to the release of certain information. All inquiries from the media should be forwarded immediately to the Company’s Senior Vice President of Marketing & Communications, the Company’s President, or other designated spokesperson.

When we select suppliers for professional services and make other purchasing decisions, these decisions must be based on sound business practices and fairness. We promote quality based selection for professional services to the maximum extent practicable. We will select subcontractors, suppliers, and vendors on the basis of merit by comparing and evaluating price, quality, technical excellence, performance, and their reputations for conducting business with honesty and integrity. We will base our purchasing decisions on suppliers’ abilities to meet our needs and not on personal relationships and friendships. We will use the highest ethical standards in business practices, source selection, negotiation, determination of contract awards, and the administration of purchasing activities. We will not encourage a vendor or subcontractor to grant, and we will not knowingly accept, any unlawful discount or price that does not represent a fair market value or goods or services of similar quality and quantity. Refer to Receiving Gifts and Entertainment on page 13, which is generally applicable in the context of relationships with suppliers and other business partners. Responsibilities to our suppliers and business partners Through my local Chamber of Commerce, I often learn of new businesses in my town. Knowing how difficult it is to start a business, I would like to consider them as suppliers for our projects when appropriate. Is this a good idea? It is important to select a supplier who has the qualifications and experience to successfully carry out the terms of the agreement with Atkins. While supporting a new business is admirable, you must be confident that the new supplier will be able to follow through. The outcome of your project and the reputation of Atkins can be affected, either positively or negatively, by the choice of suppliers. Performing thorough due diligence is critical when selecting subcontractors, subconsultants, and suppliers. Q A Re s p o n s i b i l i t i e s t o ou r s u p p l i e r s We will base our purchasing decisions on suppliers’ abilities to meet our needs and not on personal relationships and friendships.

Community activities We as employees are encouraged to participate in community organizations and activities; however, we should be alert to conflicts of interest if holding public office or serving on commissions or advisory groups. Political activities and contributions The Company strongly believes in the importance of participating in civic affairs and the political process. We encourage our employees to exercise our right to vote and to support candidates and parties of their choice. However, in the U.S., federal law prohibits corporations and government contractors such as the Company from using Company facilities or assets to influence any federal election. Local and state laws also govern political contributions, expenditures, and activities as they apply in their respective jurisdictions, and similar laws exist in other countries. Accordingly, while we are encouraged to be actively involved in the political process, such activity must be done on our own time, at our own expense, and with our own facilities and equipment. Subject to certain limited exceptions permitted by law and authorized in advance and in writing by both the Chief Executive Officer and Corporate Legal Counsel, we may not: • Make a corporate contribution or expenditure in connection with any federal, state, or local election, or in connection with any political party or activity or any political action committee (PAC). • Ask for or receive, directly or indirectly, reimbursement for any individual contribution or expenditure with respect to any federal, state, or local election or other political activity or any PAC. Compliance with laws and regulations We want to be a good corporate citizen wherever we operate by complying with applicable laws and regulations. Our business is highly regulated, and it is the responsibility of each of us to know and comply with the laws and regulations applicable to our job responsibilities. If you need more information about the legal requirements of your job, contact your manager or the Legal Department. Upholding professional standards Many of us have a responsibility to be aware of and adhere to applicable professional standards of conduct, ranging from engineering to accounting to law. As an industry leader, we have responsibilities to help shape and guide our professions by: • Sharing knowledge and information within our professional networks. • Actively supporting our professional associations and seeking leadership roles where appropriate. • Seeking opportunities to encourage students to enter our professions and mentor them through the educational process. Respecting the environment It is our policy to manage our business in an environmentally responsible manner and to comply with federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. Company offices and facilities must implement processes designed to comply with applicable environmental laws. All facilities must have the necessary permits and submit appropriate documentation to governmental agencies in an accurate and timely manner. Re s p o n s i b i l i t i e s t o ou r c o m m u n i t i e s Return to table of contents RFQ 2014-116-SR: Traffi c Engineering Consulting Services | 39 • Use or permit another to use Company facilities (for example, offices, meeting rooms, telephones, stationery, email access, computers, or faxes) in connection with any federal, state, or local election, or in connection with any political party or activity or PAC. • Engage in or ask another to engage in any political activity, including soliciting contributions, while on Company time or on Company premises. • Attempt to influence or pressure, directly or indirectly, any colleague, supplier, client, or business partner to make any political contribution or expenditure, or support any political party or candidate. For example, we may not ask our subordinates to purchase tickets to a political fundraiser. The Company has established and administers a PAC that may solicit and accept contributions from certain employees and then use those funds to make contributions and expenditures in connection with federal, state, and local elections, as permitted by law. Contributions to the Company PAC by eligible employees are entirely voluntary; those who do not contribute will suffer no adverse effects or retaliation. For further information about political activities, refer to Corporate Policy 106.0, Political Activities and Contributions. For questions about political activities, contri- butions, and expenditures, contact the Legal Department. Lobbying It is the Company’s policy to comply with applicable laws and regulations relating to lobbying and activities that support lobbying. Lobbying and lobbying activities at the federal level are governed by the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995, as amended, which requires, among other things, registration and regular filings with the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives and Secretary of the U.S. Senate. The Act applies when lobbying members of Congress, their staffs, or senior members of the Executive Branch. Certain lobbying activities are prohibited altogether, and no lobbying activity may be charged to state or federal contracts. Each state has its own laws governing lobbying of state officials. No employee or of the Company may engage in any lobbying on behalf of the Company without the prior written authorization of both the Chief Executive Officer and Corporate Legal Counsel. For additional guidance, or for clarification on whether proposed activities are or are not lobbying, contact Corporate Legal Counsel.

Atkins has delivered each assignment on time and within budget and has provided support to City staff as requested in meetings and presentations to the City Commission, Planning Board, and other stakeholders. This experience demonstrates our approach to providing services to the City on this contract as well. Our designated project manager, Darlene Fernandez, PE, will continue to serve the City on this contract. She is supported by the key staff indicated in Figure 1 as well as a large pool of engineering, technical, and administrative personnel and resources. As a hands-on project manager, Ms. Fernandez will not only assign the responsibility to the key staff in charge of the appropriate assignment but will also work with them to ensure that adequate quality resources are dedicated to the production and completion of the assignment and that the work will be accomplished within the agreed-upon schedule. Additionally, it is the responsibility of the project manager to ensure that each assignment is quality controlled/peer reviewed by senior technical staff. Our assigned QA/QC offi cer Paul Mannix, PE, PTOE, will follow the formal fi ve-step Atkins QC process shown in Figure 2. Once the fi ve-step QC process is followed on each document generated, this process and the documentation are further reviewed and checked off by Mr. Mannix. Atkins has successfully conducted several similar projects for municipalities including the City of Miami Beach, City of Coral Gables, City of Miami, City of Fort Lauderdale, Miami-Dade Public Schools, and Broward County. Atkins has also worked directly with FDOT on several districtwide projects including traffi c engineering services, access management studies, and safety reviews and recommendations studies. We are thoroughly familiar with FDOT’s requirements, standards, and expectations. Management philosophy With Atkins’ management philosophy, our clients enjoy a close working relationship with our fi rm. This approach ensures that the project will be executed in accordance with the client’s goals and that the resulting products will be delivered on time, within budget, and in the best form for the client’s use. Atkins prides itself on a reputable record of timely completion of studies, design, and construction services. This is the result of effective project management based on three key principles: • Understanding the client’s goals and mutually agreeing on ways to meet them. • Team coordination achieved by assigning hands-on management responsibility for each project to a departmental project director and/ or project manager of the fi rm, or in the case of larger projects, to two or more senior-level staff. This process facilitates proper communication fl ow, whether formal or informal, through regular meetings with the client and project team. The client will also maintain communication with the in- house project team through regular meetings and periodic progress reports. • Accountability resting on the assumption that the client is an integral part of the project team and, in fact, its most important member. The client plays a vital part in the success of the project by meeting frequently with the project team and by supplying information and direction, as required. 3. Scope of services proposed A clear understanding of the project requirements and our previous experience on similar projects has enabled Atkins to assemble a team tailored to tackle any challenges.

QC process Atkins | SOQ for the City of Miami Beach, Florida RFQ 2014-116-SR: Traffi c Engineering Consulting Services | 80 0001.039184.0414 Atkins professionals understand the importance of providing consulting services on time and within established budgets. Atkins’ management strategy will be based upon a simple, but important, premise. Specifi cally, each segment of a project must be organized, directed, and controlled to ensure its timely completion within the allowable budget. Atkins fully understands that this requirement is based upon real-world conditions and that any other outcome would result in administrative and budgetary hardships. Projects will be managed closely and coordinated with the staff throughout the course of each project. Atkins will respond quickly and effi ciently to needs, questions, and review comments and incorporate any necessary changes. Implementation plan Our team offers an organization that is fl exible and responsive to the City’s needs and is experienced in extensive and complex management and construction programs. Assembling a team of professionals with ever-changing specialty requirements is a signature of our proposed project manager, Ms. Fernandez. She has the full resources of the team’s multidisciplinary staff available to her for these projects. The team proposes the following management control tools: • Written authorizations that initiate and control active work. • Daily tracking and analysis of labor hours expended. • A project coordination meeting, wherein attention is focused on signifi cant and critical issues and on those staff managers assigned responsibility for resolving them. • Incremental work scopes, schedules, and budgets, each discretely assigned to a specifi c unit. • Effective management action to bring attention to a work task or decision that is at odds with the work plan or schedule, i.e., “workaround” program and risk management assessment. Our project manager will control technical work being performed, while the City monitors and reviews in-progress and completed work. The most important key to success will be an excellent working relationship between the City and the Atkins team. We must be candid with each other about work progress including technical, cost, and schedule issues. We expect and will encourage a cooperative, ongoing, and close-sharing of information between City staff and the Atkins team. The basic premise of our management philosophy is that there will be no surprises. One of the major attributes of our team is the fact that we have successfully performed consulting services for the City in the past. Equally important is the fact that our team has successfully worked together on previous projects. The benefi t to the City is that there will be no learning curve for our proposed project team on this project. Because of our team’s experience working with city governments and the quality of the proposed Atkins team, we have every reason to expect that our relationship with the City will be successful and mutually rewarding. We envision our role very clearly—we will continue to be an extension of the City’s staff, working as a single entity to accomplish common goals. With this concept in mind, we will continue to familiarize ourselves with your existing personnel and operations and procedures in order to develop appropriate “links” for each assignment. Our goal is to develop a system that will allow our team to blend seamlessly with the City’s operations. QA/QC – testing and risk mitigation Atkins is sensitive to the need to accurately plan and budget for the scope of services. This goal will be achieved through the use of Atkins’ in-house QC program designed to accomplish two major objectives: • Provide senior-level technical guidance throughout the project • Eliminate redundant work and miscommunicated efforts Our approach to these objectives is based upon the following procedures: • A QA team will provide guidance and independent review of all work. At the early stages of each project phase, the QA team will be asked to comment on the proposed tasks before work begins. This will prevent misdirected efforts. • Following the completion of each major work segment, the QA team will review draft materials before fi nal production. • The project manager will have a complete understanding of the project and will have the authority to control technical production activities. Our team offers an organization that is fl exible and responsive to the City’s needs. Atkins | SOQ for the City of Miami Beach, Florida RFQ 2014-116-SR: Traffi c Engineering Consulting Services | 81 0001.039184.0414 • The best-suited staff will be assigned to the specifi c tasks, and as few personnel as possible will be used. This will minimize the opportunity for miscommunication as well as redundant and ineffi cient work. • All work transmitted between technical participants and the client will go through the project manager. • The project manager will conduct frequent, if not daily, discussions with technical leaders to assess the project status and maintain direct control over work priorities. Project timeline and phasing options For the scope of services, the City specifi ed that the project timeline will not exceed 5 working days. Typically, the Planning Board has a tight schedule, and meeting agendas have to be printed at least a week in advance, and staff needs to prepare a report internally prior to agenda review. To accomplish that goal, we have provided a sample project timeline and phasing option for Project Types A and B: • Day 1: Atkins will conduct site visit and begin report review. • Day 2: Atkins will fi nalize report review to include items as specifi ed by the City. • Day 3: Atkins will submit the draft memo to the City. The City will forward comments to the traffi c engineering consultant to respond to comments and make edits, as necessary. • Day 4: Atkins will set up a conference call with the traffi c engineering consultant and City to discuss any comments that they may not agree with or need further clarifi cation. This will avoid multiple back-and-forth with the City and consultant and save time. The traffi c engineering consultant will respond to comments and send to Atkins for fi nal review. • Day 5: Atkins will send the fi nal memo to the City for fi nal approval. Atkins proposes phasing options to ensure that the tasks will be completed within the timeline. The initial report review and site visit will occur in two different phases but on the same day. Depending on the type of review, if an AutoTURN analysis is needed, the AutoTURN fi le will also be forwarded to our civil group on the fi rst day. QA/QC will occur on Day 2 prior to sending out the draft memo to the City on Day 3. On Day 2, if Atkins fi nds a confl ict with the proposed recommendations and alternatives, we will notify the City immediately to discuss right away. On Day 4, while the traffi c engineering consultant is fi nalizing comments, Atkins will begin working on the fi nal memo to be ready to submit to the City on Day 5. Scope of services requirements Atkins reviewed the scope of services in detail and summarized below how we will achieve each portion of the scope for Project Types A and B. We have also included other considerations not included as part of the scope requirements. In addition, we addressed compliance with the minimum requirements in Tab 1. Since we have worked on many similar projects with the City, we understand the challenges and other factors that have to be reviewed and taken into consideration when conducting a traffi c impact study review. Project type A Review of traffi c impact studies by land developers for proposed projects The City will receive a traffi c impact study from a land developer for review once the City has made this a requirement as part of their submittal for a permit with the Planning Department. This includes new developments and redevelopments of properties. Once the City receives the traffi c impact study, they will forward it to the traffi c engineering consultant for a peer review. Provide prompt input to Planning Department staff on the accuracy of the information provided in the traffi c report The City will expect a quick turnaround on each peer review. The expected response time will be within 5 working days after receiving the traffi c study. Atkins has the expertise and availability to accommodate the City in the time period required for peer review. We understand that due to the tight schedule for submittals to the Planning Board, it is very important to meet this requirement. This time frame will also include reviews with the traffi c engineer and the implementation of comments, if needed. A site visit will also be conducted prior to the traffi c study review. Determine the impacts based on trip generation Atkins staff will review the ITE trip generation manual for the type of land use and size that is being used for a particular project. Atkins will check that the appropriate assumptions were made for the land use and whether the traffi c engineer used a fi tted curve equation (if applicable) or the average rate for the calculation of additional trips for the a.m. and p.m. peak periods. Validate/assess travel demand growth To assess the growth rate in a particular area, we will need to gather available historical data around the Atkins | SOQ for the City of Miami Beach, Florida RFQ 2014-116-SR: Traffi c Engineering Consulting Services | 82 0001.039184.0414 area and review the LRTPs, which include all future projects. We will request any data the City may have from past projects for traffi c counts near the site as well as a review of the Florida traffi c information CD produced by FDOT, which has historical data for specifi c sites throughout Miami-Dade County, and compare the years. Traffi c volume comparison from the Florida Standard Urban Transportation Model Structure (FSUTMS) and the Southeast Florida Regional Planning Model (SERPM) should also be checked to determine the appropriate growth factor. Validate traffi c data collection We will review all traffi c data collected in the traffi c study. We will check for the dates in which the traffi c data was produced and verify that it was not done on non-school days. Typically, traffi c counts should be collected Tuesday through Thursday. However, there are times depending on the type of development that the counts should be collected on a weekend. For example, a hotel or bank may have more traffi c demand on a Friday than a Tuesday. The traffi c counts should also have the FDOT peak season conversion factor applied to all traffi c data. The peak period that was used needs to be confi rmed with the traffi c data. Validate microsimulation runs The City will receive the raw fi les from the traffi c engineering consultant for the microsimulation that was done for the study. The fi les can be in Synchro or HCS 2010 format. We will check that the models were calibrated with real fi eld conditions and that the data was properly inputted into the model. Validate queue analysis for intersections and driveways Depending on the amount of new trips based on the trip generation model, a queuing analysis will be reviewed to make sure that it does not block any driveways or parking spaces within the property. If an operational analysis is conducted as part of the study, the intersection queue is already calculated as part of the Synchro reports. Validate proposed roadway improvements to mitigate possible traffi c impacts All alternatives proposed by the traffi c engineering consultant will be reviewed for safety and operational confl icts. Atkins will confi rm that the increase in traffi c due to a proposed development or redevelopment will not increase the traffi c signifi cantly or have any major impacts at nearby intersections. All traffi c should be addressed internally within the property including traffi c circulation and parking. Conduct a fi eld visit Field visits are very important for the review of any traffi c study. It is important for us to understand the way the area operates and note any confl icts that may be an impact to traffi c. The fi eld review will also help to assess the microsimulation fi les that are submitted to confi rm that they show real-time operating conditions. The date and time of the visit will be noted as part of the technical memo sent to the City for review. Review study fi ndings and recommendations The study fi ndings and recommendation will be reviewed. All recommendations have to be feasible and meet the City’s standards. Prepare a memorandum with comments Immediately following the review, a technical memorandum will be prepared to the City for submittal to the traffi c engineering consultant. The draft memorandum will be completed within 3 days of receiving the study to ensure the traffi c engineering consultant has time to review and respond to comments prior to the 5-day time period. Participate and attend meetings including the Planning Board meeting and meeting with City staff Atkins has prior experience working with the Planning Board. We will be ready to answer questions regarding the traffi c study produced by the traffi c engineering consultant. We will also be available at any time to have a conference call with the City to discuss comments or questions regarding the study. Review of on-site and off-site vehicular circulation The vehicular circulation has to be reviewed to determine how vehicles will ingress and egress the project site. This is important for the determination of any impacts at the intersections due to the increase in traffi c. The on-site circulation has to be reviewed for the need of traffi c signage and striping to avoid driver confusion and any confl icts with We envision our role very clearly—we will continue to be an extension of the City’s staff, working as a single entity to accomplish common goals. Atkins | SOQ for the City of Miami Beach, Florida RFQ 2014-116-SR: Traffi c Engineering Consulting Services | 83 0001.039184.0414 parking. The off-site circulation will be reviewed to ensure there are no signifi cant impacts to neighboring intersections. Project type B Review of geometric and operational analysis of all options/alternatives proposed Atkins will review the operational analysis completed by the traffi c engineer. There should be existing conditions, future conditions without project, and future conditions with project analyzed for all intersections that will be affected by the traffi c circulation of the proposed development. Assessment of valet parking operation based on mechanical parking and automated parking systems Some traffi c studies require a valet operations analysis for self-parking or mechanical parking. We will review the methodology from ITE’s Transportation and Land Development manual. The queues will be reviewed to make sure that there are no impacts within the property or spillback into any major road. The traffi c engineering consultant will have to recommend the number of employees used as valet operators based on the analysis. Consider additional feasible alternatives not included in the study Atkins will assess the recommendations provided by the traffi c engineering consultant. However, we will also consider other possible alternatives that may be less of an impact to the network and nearby driveways. One example is the site circulation proposed by a developer. At times, changing the traffi c circulation proposed by the developer will help with the operation of the driveways and intersections and avoid safety and operational confl icts. Review of self-parking and/or valet parking assumptions Based on the queuing analysis, we will determine whether the total number of valet operators is suffi cient for the queue of that development. Self- parking will be evaluated to determine whether there will be any negative impact on the time it takes for someone to fi nd parking and not impact the queue. Run AutoTURN templates The City will submit to Atkins the AutoCAD fi le for the review of an AutoTURN analysis to confi rm that vehicles and trucks have suffi cient turning radii to enter and exit the property without any impacts to parking or through vehicles on major roadways. Atkins has a large civil group that is available to conduct this type of analysis and provide feedback on the impacts, if any, of vehicles and trucks. Review transportation demand management (TDM) plan The City has expressed its desire to have this included as part of the analysis of the traffi c impact study peer reviews. There are many new developments in the City, and they want to ensure that they are meeting the TDM’s goals. TDM is a general term for strategies that increase the overall transportation system effi ciency by encouraging a shift from single vehicles to more transit, shifting vehicles out of peak periods, bicycle, and pedestrian use. This supports the urban mobility plan focus on moving goods rather than motor vehicles. The ultimate goal of the TDM is to reduce auto trips by increasing travel options by providing information to encourage and help individuals modify their travel behavior or by reducing the physical need. For example, providing pedestrian access and bicycle racks encourage people to use other forms of transportation other than a vehicle. Other considerations Based on past experience, there are other considerations that need to be reviewed and addressed that were not specifi ed in the scope requirements for a complete peer review of a traffi c study. • Committed developments. Committed developments should be addressed in all reports to determine whether any neighboring properties have a committed development that would impact future traffi c patterns. • Loading zones, delivery trucks, and trash pickups. From past experience, this has always been something the Planning Department would like to accommodate, if possible. They want to ensure that delivery trucks and waste pick-up has a way to access the property without impacting any major roadways. Loading zones are preferred to be accommodated onsite, but there are challenges accomplishing this with limited space and causing any loss in parking. • Trip distribution and traffi c assignments. Trip distribution and traffi c assignments have to be evaluated for most traffi c studies. This can be accomplished by the origin and destination of turning movement counts collected at study intersections or by using the Miami-Dade County cardinal distribution. The percentages will then be calculated for each movement, and the increase in traffi c will be projected for the neighboring intersections and project driveways. • Access management. All sites will be reviewed for access management standards conformance. Recommendations will be made as part of the alternative to help achieve compliance within the standards. • Constructability/feasibility issues. All alternatives will be reviewed for any constructability issues. We will verify that none of the recommendations proposed by the developer has any right-of-way confl icts and/or constructability issues. • Sight distance evaluation. A sight distance evaluation should be considered for all driveways and intersections for the development. We will ensure that they meet FDOT’s design standards based on the design speed of the roadway and number of lanes. • Coordination with FDOT and the County. From past experience, there have been many times when a development is within an FDOT or County road. There will be times coordination will take place with both agencies when there are alternatives that impact their roads. Coordination is important in order to avoid any surprises later in the process and not be able to implement a recommendation or alternative as noted in the traffi c study.

SCOPE OF SERVICES APPROACH TO THE SERVICES A Traffic Impact Study (TIS) is an important tool in the overall development planning process. It pro- vides the City with informaƟon to evaluate the impact of a proposed development with respect to the need for roadway/intersecƟon capacity, operaƟons and safety improvements, as well as to idenƟfy the required miƟgaƟon measures for any impacts idenƟﬁed. FTE and the proposed PM, Claudia Lamus, has performed and reviewed numerous TIS for mulƟple municipaliƟes including the peer review for 11 developments for the City of Miami Beach. FTE prepares and reviews impact studies following the guidelines set in the InsƟtute of TransportaƟon Engineers’ (ITE) TransportaƟon Impact Analyses for Site Development: An ITE Proposed Recommended PracƟce, the ITE’s Parking GeneraƟon and FDOT’s TransportaƟon Impact Handbook. FTE acknowledges that the TIS prepared and presented to the City of Miami Beach are program- maƟc as the development applicaƟons are reviewed by the Planning Board. Therefore, a review of the TIS must be turned around within 5 days. From our previous experience, we clearly understand that the following requirements are criƟcal for a TIS, which enables the FTE team to conduct the review of TIS submiƩed to the City and make recommendaƟons. FTE knows the importance of the accuracy of these peer reviews since City staff will have to defend our assessment before the Plan- ning Board. The Methodology Development process usually begins when the applicant (developer) contacts the City to discuss the proposed development. Prior to conducƟng any TIS, it is necessary for the devel- oper and the City staff to agree to a methodology to establish the minimum technical responsibili- Ɵes and analyses that will be required. It is FTE’s experience that the involvement of the reviewer in this phase is highly beneﬁcial. However, if the methodology has been agreed to by the City prior to the reviewer’s involvement, FTE will carefully review the agreed upon methodology and verify that all the expectaƟons and requirements from the City are being met. Review of the Trip GeneraƟon – FTE will review the impacts based on the trip generaƟon. Trip gen- eraƟon involves esƟmaƟng the number of trips that will be produced from or aƩracted to the pro- posed development. Based on the land use category, FTE will review that the trip generaƟon calcu- laƟons were obtained based on the latest ITE’s Trip GeneraƟon Manual. FTE will also check that the esƟmates obtained from this source are reasonable as they are based on naƟonal data and may not take into account special features that the local development may have. AddiƟonally, the esƟmated trips could be reduced to derive net new external trips based on a mulƟ- modal reducƟon, internal capture for mulƟ-land use developments or pass-by-trips for retail devel- opments. FTE will also check for reasonableness of these reducƟons. Page 32 SubmiƩed By: Florida TransportaƟon Engineering, Inc. (FTE) City of Miami Beach SolicitaƟon #: 2014‐116‐SR Traffic Engineering ConsulƟng Services 3. SCOPE OF SERVICES Page 33 SubmiƩed By: Florida TransportaƟon Engineering, Inc. (FTE) Trip DistribuƟon ‐The purpose of trip distribuƟon is to allocate the trips generated to origin and desƟnaƟon traffic analysis zones. Trip distribuƟon can be esƟmated using a number of different methodologies reﬂecƟng either model or manual methods, such as the latest Miami-Dade Long Range TransportaƟon Plan DirecƟonal Trip DistribuƟon Report, the Miami-Dade’s MPO’s adopted travel demand model (currently SERPM), exisƟng traffic ﬂows, or professional judgment. Whether a manual or modelling method is used, FTE will verify the reasonable- ness of the trip distribuƟon process and that it is properly docu- mented and summarized in a ﬁgure that illustrates the percentage of total site trip generaƟon that occurs in each zone. FTE will also verify that the distribuƟon of external trips from the site adds up to 100%. Trip Assignment - Trip assignment involves determining the amount of traffic that will use each route on the roadway network and each access point to the propose site. Trip assignment deter- mines the number of site-generated turning and through movements at each intersecƟon and road- way segment of the study area network. FTE will verify that the trip assignment was performed aŌer analyzing the mulƟple paths between origins and desƟnaƟons as well as driver tendencies and local paƩerns in developing logical travel routes. For example: drivers have the tendency to use the ﬁrst convenient driveway, drivers may tend to use back/local connecƟons or major travel routes, restricƟons such as leŌ turns at speciﬁc hours, etc. Trip assignment, by its nature, will reﬂect driver tenden- cies behavior; therefore the process can reﬂect a complex decision process. FTE will verify proper documentaƟon of the assumpƟons and decisions made in developing the trip assignment. FTE will work proacƟvely with the City staff and the developer’s representaƟve to ensure trip assignment assumpƟons are reasonable and reﬂec of local condiƟons. Travel Demand Growth ‐ Background traffic serves as the base condiƟon in determining the im- pacts of development on the transportaƟon system in future years. It is comprised of two elements: natural growth, or the expected increase from overall growth in through traffic; traffic from other developments in the study area that have been approved but are not yet constructed or operaƟon- al. FTE will work with the City staff to idenƟfy and verify that all the commiƩed projects near the study area that could impact the travel paƩerns have been taken into account and that the growth rates esƟmated either by the historical trend analysis or using the Miami-Dade MPO’s adopted trav- el demand model are reasonable and appropriate for the study area. City of Miami Beach SolicitaƟon #: 2014‐116‐SR Traffic Engineering ConsulƟng Services 3. SCOPE OF SERVICES Page 34 SubmiƩed By: Florida TransportaƟon Engineering, Inc. (FTE) Validate the traffic data collecƟon - FTE will review all the data collected for the study. This in- cludes traffic volumes, geometry, signal Ɵming, etc. FTE will verify that all traffic data was taken from new or recent counts, that they were collected on a typical week day, whether weekend counts are necessary (due to the unique characterisƟcs of the City of Miami Beach), and whether counts near schools were collected while they were in session. FTE will also verify that all neces- sary traffic factors were applied to the ﬁeld data as established in the FDOT’s Project Traffic Fore- casƟng Handbook and that the data collecƟon process is properly documented and included with- in the report. Field ObservaƟons ‐ for each TIS, FTE will conduct a ﬁeld review of traffic and circulaƟon within the study area. The ﬁeld visit will consist of driving the study area roadways and observing the study intersecƟon operaƟons during the peak commute periods. Field observaƟons will help in idenƟfying issues such as the effect of on-street parking, pedestrian and bicycle safety issues, sight distance problems, queuing and storage length, the effect on transit operaƟons and truck routes, etc. The ﬁeld visit date and Ɵme and its ﬁndings will be documented as part of the review process of the TIS. OperaƟonal Analysis ‐ OperaƟonal analysis plays an important role of a complete TIS, . FTE’s per review will serve to ensure that operaƟonal issues are not bypassed in the TIS. FTE will verify that the Level of Service (LOS) analysis is performed along each of the roadways and intersecƟons idenƟﬁed in the methodology. The LOS analysis for the exisƟng and future condi- Ɵons will help determine whether the transportaƟon system will operate acceptable with the ad- diƟonal site generated trips or if it is being deteriorated and miƟgaƟons are required. As part of the LOS analysis review, FTE will validate the micro‐simulaƟon models. FTE will verify that the simulaƟon models were developed following the procedures outlined in the Highway Ca- pacity Manual and using the latest available and approved soŌware (Synchro, etc.). FTE will verify that all the model inputs, including geometry, signal Ɵming, volumes, etc., were entered correctly and that all model outputs are summarized and interpreted appropriately. In addiƟon to the LOS analysis, FTE will review whether the preparer of the TIS has consider all op- eraƟonal constraints of the project. Some of the issues/constraints that FTE will be looking for as part of the operaƟonal analysis reviews are: Need and/or adequacy of leŌ-turn pocket storage capacity Need and/or adequacy of right-turn storage capacity Median island or channelizaƟon island movement restricƟons proposed layout of internal circulaƟon Proper access and circulaƟon of the anƟcipated vehicle mix such as delivery trucks. This in- cludes the review of the computer generated vehicle turning path plans, and the review of proper access and circulaƟon for service vehicles such as garbage trucks Need and/or adequacy of acceleraƟon/deceleraƟon lanes City of Miami Beach SolicitaƟon #: 2014‐116‐SR Traffic Engineering ConsulƟng Services 3. SCOPE OF SERVICES Page 35 SubmiƩed By: Florida TransportaƟon Engineering, Inc. (FTE) ResidenƟal neighborhood impacts Need for a new signal or stop signs and signal or stop sign warrant study Effect of signalizaƟon on exisƟng signal coordinaƟon plans JusƟﬁcaƟon for and feasibility of any signal phasing or lane conﬁguraƟon changes at intersecƟons Drive-through use Truck turning template analysis Proper site access Adequacy of the proposed driveways to serve project gen- erated traffic Assessment of the parking operaƟons - FTE will review all the details of the parking facility including the ingress, egress, and circulaƟon within the parking facility. For valet parking opera- Ɵons, FTE will verify that number of spaces proposed to stack vehicles at the valet parking stands and that the required num- ber of valet aƩendants are sufficient to ensure that the parking operaƟons do not cause excessive stacking, waiƟng, or backups on to the public right-of way. Similarly, the operaƟons plan for all mechanical parking or automated parking systems will be ana- lyzed to ensure that they saƟsfy the operaƟonal need of the project. FTE has had the opportunity to already review several of this mechanical parking systems proposed within the City of Miami Beach. FTE will review that the TIS idenƟﬁes soluƟons and recommendaƟons to address any issues or traffic impacts derived by the proposed development. AddiƟonally, FTE’s wide range of experƟse allows us to consider the geometric components of the proposed layouts as well as to develop ad- diƟonal alternaƟves and offer comments on issues such as right-of way impacts and constructabil- ity. FTE brings to the City an experienced design team that is fully knowledgeable of, and experi- enced with, design procedures and requirements. Through years of experience, we have an under- standing of key challenges of typical civil engineering projects and are completely familiar with FDOT Plans PreparaƟon Manual and the Design Standard Indexes. FTE will prepare for the City staff a memorandum with all the comments resulƟng from our review and will work diligently with the City staff and the developer to resolve all issues. FTE will make ourselves available to the City staff and the applicants to discuss and resolve any issues saƟsfacto- rily and in a Ɵmely manner so that the project can be presented to the Planning Board.

(FTE) UNDERSTANDING The FTE Team consists of highly experienced personnel who have a proven track record of superior service. FTE’s primary goal of this contract will be to coordinate with its professional team mem- bers in the support of the City. FTE has a successful history in meeƟng schedule and budget since we began. Our success and di- versity of services demonstrate we have completed our projects on Ɵme and within budget. Our contracts with public sector clients have deﬁned services, fees, and contractual Ɵme for comple- Ɵon. FTE relies on communicaƟon and effecƟve leadership to reach our goal of bringing a project in on Ɵme and within budget. We are commiƩed to following this philosophy to ensure the success of this contract. SCHEDULE The ﬁrst step we must take is to meet with the client to collaborate on a project schedule. Once eve- ryone conveys all the peripheral elements of the project, we can begin to plan and implement a real- isƟc and workable schedule. EffecƟve project schedules are created by determining every task re- quired for the project, what resources are necessary to complete the task, and how to execute each task. The task list is then prioriƟzed with the interdependencies between the tasks idenƟﬁed and documented within the proposed project schedule. Every employee working on a project takes per- sonal responsibility in compleƟng their porƟon of the task accurately and on Ɵme. We believe in documented accountability rather than the assumed accountability. We are very serious about our reputaƟon as a ﬁrm in providing quality services. We will assure that appropriate resources are allo- cated to the contract. Resource allocaƟon is key in ensuring that the project schedule stays on its course. BUDGET Our public sector contracts have been either lump sum or not to exceed fees. We are moƟvated to provide the contracted services within budget. Our quality control process has enabled FTE to re- main compeƟƟve. QUALITY CONTROL FTE has adopted a Quality Control Plan that uƟ- lizes the principals in the Shewhart Cycle which was developed by Walter Shewhart, an Ameri- can physicist, engineer, and staƟsƟcian. FTE ex- panded on this model and created a plan that allows one to develop Quality Control pracƟces on a company wide scale and for specialized pro- jects. This Plan consists of four phases: Plan, Do, Check and Act. FTE uses a Quality Control stamp to track and document the review process, simi- lar to that used by FDOT In-House Design staff. This is to be used on all project work, including City of Miami Beach SolicitaƟon #: 2014‐116‐SR Traffic Engineering ConsulƟng Services 3. SCOPE OF SERVICES Page 37 SubmiƩed By: Florida TransportaƟon Engineering, Inc. (FTE) studies, plans, reports, design documents, surveys, esƟmates, and calculaƟons. It is very important to have the most qualiﬁed people in the checking process. They must know their role and schedule the Ɵme for their parƟcipaƟon. An important step in the overall QA/QC process is documentaƟon. We document the materials reviewed for each submiƩal, and retain all check prints, design memo- randa, reports, and calculaƟons. The FTE Team will make our QC documents available to the client with each submiƩal, recognizing that the client may not require submiƩal of the QA/QC plans. This step assures that we are following the plan prepared at the onset of the project.

The Ordinance applies to all employees of a Contractor who work within the City limits of the City of Miami Beach, Florida; and the Contractor’s employees located in the United States, but outside of the City of Miami Beach limits, who are directly performing work on the contract within the City of Miami Beach.

Your Reasonable Measures Application will be reviewed for consideration by the City Manager, or his designee. Approval is not guaranteed and the City Manager’s decision is final.

The City has identified the need to partner with an experienced and well-qualified traffic and transportation engineering firm to serve as your consultant on this on-call contract. We offer experience gained through serving clients on a number of similar transportation consulting contracts, including your neighbors in Miami, Coral Gables, Pinecrest, Aventura, and Fort Lauderdale. Through these efforts, we have a thorough understanding of the requirements of a traffic engineering consultant services contract including the need to be responsive, the importance of being able to quickly develop scopes for assignments and provide review input, and most importantly, we are knowledgeable of the needs and procedures of the City of Miami Beach. Kimley-Horn has the local know-how and resources to quickly assemble a team led by a project manager who will anticipate the City’s needs and respond in a timely manner. Potentially, each work order may require the review of various traffic engineering components by specialized professionals. The components include intersection operations, valet analyses, loading area maneuverability, transportation demand management, traffic calming, and data collection. Our team’s project manager, Adrian Dabkowski, P.E., PTOE, will serve as your primary point of contact, and our team’s deputy project manager, Omar Kanaan, P.E., will be responsible for managing the day-to-day tasks and activities. The nature of the work under this contract can be very challenging because the City is committed to completing a thorough review of projects while also providing review comments to applicants in a timely manner. Working with an experienced team that understands the various elements of development projects and has a working knowledge of Miami Beach’s goals and objectives is extremely important. The ability to anticipate areas of concern related to potential development traffic is essential. We have that experience based on the development work we have completed in the City of Miami Beach some of which includes Collins Park Garage, Citibank 5th Street, One Hotel, Cadillac/Marriott Courtyard Hotel, Thompson Miami Beach, Shore Club, Paris Theater, 4000 Alton Road, New World Symphony, 420 Lincoln Road Garage, Walgreens Alton Road, Walgreens Normandy Drive, Publix 69th Street, 1685 Washington Avenue, Fisher Island and Sun Terminal Redevelopment, 2000 Collins Avenue/Parc Place, the Clevelander, Cibo/Continuum Restaurant, Monad Terrace, and many other projects. Most of the professionals on the Kimley-Horn team have direct experience with the City. We are familiar with your requirements, operations, facilities, standards, and systems, which means the City will have access to many experts who already know and work with your partner agencies such as the Florida Department of Transportation and Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works. Kimley-Horn is very proud of the team that we have assembled to assist the City with its mission and are confident in our ability to respond to all requests. Summary. Our team has the depth and availability to immediately respond to any work orders under this contract. You have our personal commitment that we will proactively manage this contract in an efficient manner that minimizes the City’s required level of oversight. Very truly yours, KIMLEY-HORN Adrian K.

Our interactions with clients, the public, and each other must reflect this commitment. This Code of Ethics and Business Conduct applies to Kimley-Horn’s Board of Directors, officers, and employees. No set of guidelines can predict every circumstance you may encounter. When a difficult ethical decision confronts you, seek counsel from your supervisor, a member of your Regional Team, in-house counsel, or the Ethics Committee. Ultimately, it is your responsibility to exercise good judgment. One of the keys to Kimley-Horn's success has been the philosophy expressed in our core values and core purpose. Kimley-Horn’s core purpose—its reason for existence—is “to provide an environment for our people to flourish.” Our core values that describe how we do our work and manage our business are: “honesty, integrity, and ethics; exceptional client service; high expectations; sharing and caring; and sustained profitability.” There is no conflict between attention to profitability and attention to ethics because financial success flourishes in an environment that is fair, open, and governed by integrity. Since 1967, Kimley-Horn has provided quality services to our clients and our communities. We are proud of our heritage and are committed to carrying on this legacy with integrity. All of us are responsible for upholding and conforming to the standards of ethical behavior and business conduct outlined in Kimley-Horn’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct. 1–10 2 GENERAL EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITIES Kimley-Horn, through its employees, has a responsibility to faithfully and competently serve the interests of our clients, our respective professions, and society at large. Employees must serve clients with diligence, creativity, and professional competence, while respecting clients’ objectives, decisions, and confidentiality. Kimley-Horn conducts all of its business and professional responsibilities in a lawful and ethical manner. Simply stated, Kimley-Horn does not violate the law and will not tolerate any employee who fails to adhere to this standard of conduct. Legal compliance only sets the floor for our responsibilities. We must also adhere to the ethical standards that apply to our professions and that Kimley-Horn sets for itself. All of Kimley-Horn’s dealings with individuals or entities (whether in the public or private sector) are expected to be conducted with full regard for, and compliance with, applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, and our ethics and business conduct policies. Failure to adhere to this standard will be grounds for discipline up to and including immediate dismissal. If at any time, you believe that your legal and ethical obligations are unclear or conflict with one another, seek guidance from your supervisor, a member of your Regional Team, in-house counsel, or the Ethics Committee. If an employee of Kimley-Horn has reason to believe that: (1) anyone associated with Kimley-Horn has been unethical or violated the law in connection with the business of Kimley-Horn; (2) anyone associated with Kimley-Horn has requested or directed an employee to do anything that is unethical or violates the law; or (3) anyone at Kimley-Horn has prohibited an employee from doing anything the law or good ethical practice requires the employee to do, the employee should report this immediately to your supervisor, a member of your Regional Team, a member of the Board of Directors, in-house counsel, or the Ethics Committee. Upon a complaint of possible unethical or unlawful conduct being made or Kimley-Horn otherwise having reason to suspect unethical or unlawful conduct, a thorough investigation will be undertaken. At the conclusion of the investigation, Kimley-Horn will take internal remedial action as necessary and will make reports to outside authorities as are required. 1–11 3 ETHICS AND BUSINESS CONDUCT POLICIES Firm Assets, Timesheets, and Billing Employee Time and Expenses Employees must accurately report time and expense charges incurred. By submitting timesheets or expense reports, the employee represents that they believe the information contained in the submittal is accurate. Employees approving timesheets, expense reports or invoices also represent that they believe the information contained in these documents is accurate. Electronic timesheets are used as the basis for billing our clients and are essential to ensure our compliance with wage and hour regulations and to record overtime. It is therefore imperative that they be completed accurately and promptly. You should update your timesheet daily. The electronic timesheet should be completed, signed, and approved by your supervisor by the last working day on or before the 15th and last day of the month. For client billing, you should keep a daily record of the hours spent on each project. Client Billing Kimley-Horn will be truthful, accurate, and ethical in its billing procedures and its invoicing of clients. All billing will be done in accordance with contractual requirements and applicable federal, state, and local regulations. For example, if billing is based on labor costs, then our bills will accurately reflect time actually worked on and properly charged to the applicable project. If billing is based on percent complete basis, then our billing will be consistent with progress on the project during the relevant time period. All expense billing will be done in strict compliance with the contract. Firm Funds and Resources Employees must use Kimley-Horn funds and resources only for company- sanctioned activities. Use of funds or resources for personal, illegal or unethical purposes is strictly prohibited. All funds and assets of Kimley-Horn and its subsidiaries shall be properly recorded and maintained. Only true and accurate entries shall be made on the company’s books and records. 1–12 4 Financial Controls Committee The Board of Directors has appointed the Financial Controls Committee and charged it with oversight of internal financial control procedures. The committee: ·Ensures processes and controls are in place so that accounting, financial statements, overhead audits and tax returns are accurate and reliable. ·Ensures the firm’s resources are adequately protected. ·Ensures that sound financial controls and processes are developed and maintained. ·Conducts proactive and regular risk assessment and evaluation of the firm’s susceptibility to conscious or unintended abuses. ·Is responsible for financial controls maintenance, compliance and process follow-up. This step is performed to verify that the recommended actions have been properly implemented and that the firm continues to function as intended. The scope of the committee includes oversight of cash receipts, cash disbursements, fixed assets, procurement, financial reporting, payroll and financial matters associated with benefits, billing, revenue recognition, expense reimbursement, tax returns and safeguarding the firm’s financial information. Computer Software Licensing Kimley-Horn licenses the use of its computer software from outside companies. Unless authorized by the software developer, Kimley-Horn does not have the right to reproduce any software it does not own. The Director of Information Technology maintains most corporate license agreements. However, some licenses are maintained regionally by the Regional Information Technology Manager. Reproducing, downloading, or upgrading software without prior approval of the Regional Information Technology Manager is prohibited. Any known misuse of software or related documentation within the company should be reported immediately to your Regional Business Manager or your Regional Information Technology Manager. Any Kimley- Horn employee who makes, acquires, or uses unauthorized copies of computer software will be disciplined as appropriate to the circumstances, up to and including termination. Any unauthorized copies of software will be destroyed upon discovery. 1–13 5 Gifts, Entertainment, and Commissions Gifts and Entertainment Provided to Clients Kimley-Horn supports client entertainment as a means to build relationships. We are committed to ensuring that our entertainment dollars are spent appropriately. Before you provide any gift or favor, regardless of value, to a client employee, check with your Regional Marketing Manager or Regional Leader concerning ground rules for that client. Next, check for client policies. Our legal staff keeps a file of previously identified client policies; if we do not have one for your client, ask your client representative for a copy or ask Legal staff for assistance. Entertainment and gifts may be covered under an ethics policy if the client doesn’t have a separate document. The following principles provide guidance for clients who do not have a more restrictive policy of their own. 1.We will win work based on our qualifications rather than in exchange for a gift or favor. 2.We will spend money to build relationships, not to buy a project. 3.We will be proactive in obtaining, archiving, and sharing client policies in an effort not to violate any laws or client policies. 4.Where activities are allowable, the amount spent should not be excessive. Beyond simply using good judgment, be mindful of how your expenditures would look if they were scrutinized by the media or in another public forum. 5.We will seek input from partners, OPL’s, and/or Regional Marketing Managers, and keep them informed of client entertainment practices. 6.No cash or cash equivalents will be given to any individual for their personal benefit. 7.Employees may not spend their own money for gifts and entertainment to clients for business purposes that we are unwilling to reimburse as a business expense. 8.If you or members of your family have a social relationship (outside of business) with any employee of the federal government or its agencies or political divisions, be aware that any personal gifts (which are typically reciprocated) must not be excessive. In most cases, such gifts must be reported by that federal government employee to their supervisor. Employees of state and local agencies also may be subject to this level of scrutiny, depending on the client. Further information is provided on KHAnet. 1–14 6 Gifts and Gratuities From Others We, as professionals, must not compromise the public trust that has been placed in this firm. Even the appearance of compromise must be avoided. No employee shall solicit or accept, whether directly or indirectly through a family member, any compensation, gift, favor, or service of value which is offered to influence or would influence the employee in the performance of his or her duties. This includes, but is not limited to, current or potential clients, vendors, contractors, and subconsultants. Commissions/Contingency Fees Kimley-Horn will not pay or offer to pay a commission, percentage, or brokerage fee to any employee of a client or any third party to secure work from any governmental agency or other potential client. Political Support Political Contributions by Employees Employees may contribute to political candidates or parties in accordance with their personal preferences and the law. Kimley-Horn will not attempt to influence employee political contributions and will not directly or indirectly reimburse employees for personal political contributions or attendance at a political fundraising event. No employee or representative of Kimley-Horn may make or offer a political contribution to a public official for the express or implied purpose of influencing a decision by that official regarding an existing or future contract with Kimley-Horn. Legislative Support Guidelines From time to time, Kimley-Horn may support legislative or regulatory initiatives that it feels are beneficial to the company or to industries in which we work. All such support will be in accordance with the following guidelines. 1.All Kimley-Horn support will be directed to legislative and regulatory activity, never to specific candidates or political parties. Support will normally be focused on ballot measures or legislation that relate to an area of Kimley-Horn practice, such as transportation funding, development initiatives, and similar measures. 2.All requests to approach staff for donation of company time, materials, or personal financial support of a legislative or regulatory issue must be approved in advance through the regional leader. 3.Subject to regional leader approval, individuals may send letters on KHA letterhead only if the letter specifically states that we are 1–15 7 writing as a member of another organization (such as ACEC), and if the letter doesn’t ask for support of a specific individual. 4.Kimley-Horn contributions in support of a ballot measure or legislation will only be made directly by Kimley-Horn and not from personal funds of employees. However, employees may make personal contributions in addition to the company’s contribution. Personal contributions will not be reimbursed. 5.All proposed Kimley-Horn contributions should be reviewed by in- house counsel to determine if they are legal under state law. Individual Candidate and Party Support Guidelines Kimley-Horn will not take a position or support any candidate for political office or any political party. While KHA discourages solicitation of employee contributions for non-business causes, there may be times when a particular practice area would benefit from involvement with a particular candidate. In these cases, Kimley-Horn staffers wishing to support an individual candidate for business purposes may make individual presentations to peers if the peers agree. No presentations may be made to subordinates or to those who may reasonably interpret the presentation as pressure to support a candidate with their time or money. In no event should Kimley-Horn email be used to express support for an individual candidate. If you are not sure if your situation fits these guidelines, please discuss it with Kimley-Horn’s in-house counsel. Professional Obligations to Public and Clients Professional Licensure and Ethics Rules Kimley-Horn employees who are licensed professionals must be familiar with the rules of professional responsibility in the States in which they are licensed and must comply with those rules at all times. Some of our professionals are also members in national organizations such as AICP, ACEC, ASCE, and NSPE that have published Ethics Codes. These organizational codes can be consulted as appropriate, though they are not mandatory in the same manner that state licensure rules are. Conflicts of Interest Kimley-Horn prohibits its employees from engaging in any activity, practice, or act which conflicts with, or appears to be in conflict with the interest of Kimley-Horn, its clients, or its vendors. It is essential that any Employee confronted with a possible conflict of interest promptly and fully disclose 1–16 8 details of the situation to their supervisor and, if further resolution is required, to in-house counsel or Ethics Committee. Other Policies Truth in Advertising, Communications & Proposals Kimley-Horn and its employees will accurately represent our capabilities, qualifications, and resources in advertising, communications, and proposals. Recruiting from Teaming Partners and Clients We periodically consider the appropriateness of recruiting individuals who are employed by firms with whom we are teamed or by our clients. These situations necessitate judgment calls on whether or not it is appropriate to continue with recruiting activities. While it is difficult to create hard and fast rules for these situations, the principles below were developed to assist in the evaluation. 1.Those faced with decisions about the appropriateness of pursuing a particular recruit should talk with their partners, including at least one person who is independent of the situation. Typically, the independent person should be someone on the management committee. 2.We should treat our teaming partners and clients with the same level of respect and professionalism with which we would expect to be treated by them. 3.We must follow all laws and our contractual agreements that include recruiting limitations. 4.We should be conscious of our reputation and long-term relationships as we evaluate these situations. 5.We should encourage employees of our teaming partners and clients to be true to the trust owed to their current employers, even as they consider other job opportunities. 6.Teaming arrangements and client relationships for both the marketing and production of projects should be considered. 7.We should be keenly aware of potential conflicts of interest (or appearances of conflicts of interest) when we consider the recruiting of individuals who work for clients. 1–17 9 If additional guidance is needed to address specific situations, contact the firmwide Director of Human Resources. Confidentiality Kimley-Horn records and information relating to Kimley-Horn or its clients are often confidential, and employees should treat all matters accordingly. No Kimley-Horn or Kimley-Horn-related information, including without limitation documents, notes, files, records, oral information, computer files or similar materials should be taken from Kimley-Horn’s premises without permission from your supervisor, except in the ordinary course of performing your duties as a Kimley-Horn employee. The contents of Kimley-Horn's records or information otherwise obtained in regard to business may not be disclosed to anyone, except where required for a business purpose. Employees must not disclose any confidential information, purposefully or inadvertently (such as through casual conversation) to any unauthorized person inside or outside the Company. Employees who are unsure about the confidential nature of specific information must ask their supervisor for clarification. Confidential information obtained through employment with Kimley-Horn must not be used for the furthering of any private interest, personal gain, or third-party benefit. Client-related information will not be released to other parties without the consent of the client or pursuant to a properly issued subpoena or court order. Kimley-Horn may, on occasion, be engaged in the design or analysis of government-classified projects involving sensitive security information, the nature of which cannot be disclosed to unauthorized office personnel or others under penalty of law. Such projects should never be discussed except in the work environment as required to perform the service. 1–18 10 CODE IMPLEMENTATION The effectiveness of this Code of Ethics and Business Conduct requires an ongoing commitment from all Employees. When an ethical issue arises or if you are uncertain about how to proceed, you should first seek advice or clarification from your supervisor. Your supervisor may be able to address your concerns; if not, seek advice from a member of your Regional Team, in-house counsel or the Ethics Committee. If you believe an ethical violation has occurred, you must report the violation. Kimley-Horn has established an “Ethics Hotline” that staff may use to seek guidance on an external issue or to report a potential internal issue. To raise an issue with the Ethics Committee, you need only contact a member of the Committee by email, phone, or in person. Current members of the Ethics Committee are identified on KHAnet. You should be clear, however, that you are contacting the committee member in connection with that person being a member of the Ethics Committee. That person will then involve one or more other committee members as appropriate under the circumstances. Your confidentiality will be respected to the extent possible. Depending on the nature of the external or internal issue raised, complete confidentiality may not be possible. Absolutely no retaliation will be allowed against any employee who has raised an external or internal issue with the Committee. This resource does not replace any existing communication channels. Issues and questions should still be raised with others (such as supervisors or regional team members) as appropriate. This Committee is an additional resource that can be used at any time, but is especially intended for situations where you may not know who to contact for guidance or to report an issue, or if you feel that discussing the issue with your supervisor or regional team member would not be appropriate or beneficial. The Ethics Committee will conduct a fair and thorough investigation providing an opportunity for any suspected violator to explain their position. The Committee will then decide upon a course of action and notify the Board of Directors as appropriate. Violation of Kimley-Horn's Code of Ethics and Business Conduct can lead to disciplinary action, including discharge, civil or legal action, or the reporting of alleged criminal activity to appropriate authorities. The good business health of Kimley-Horn depends upon each of our efforts. We need to promote camaraderie with each other and pride in being part 1–19 11 of the Kimley-Horn team. Anyone who walks through Kimley-Horn doors should feel the pride and commitment we have in preserving Kimley-Horn’s reputation. The Code of Ethics and Business Conduct will be subject to change and revision as Kimley-Horn learns through experience. Kimley- Horn does not want to needlessly complicate employees’ business lives with burdensome procedures, but at the same time, it should be clearly understood that adherence to these policies carries the highest priority. Kimley-Horn will incorporate sessions with general topics of ethics as well as this Code of Ethics and Business Conduct in its major training programs, including Fundamentals of Consulting, Fundamental of Practice, Consultant Training, Culture and Philosophy, and Professional Liability. We will provide other training on ethics through various forms of firmwide communication and office brown bags. 1–20 1–21GMOC26043.19w_Miami Beach Traffic Consultant.indd Traffic Engineering Consultant Services for City of Miami Beach RFQ 2019-109-ND Required Certification and Licenses State of Florida Certificate of Authorization 1–22GMOC26043.19w_Miami Beach Traffic Consultant.indd Traffic Engineering Consultant Services for City of Miami Beach RFQ 2019-109-ND Firm and Team Licenses Kimley-Horn 1–23GMOC26043.19w_Miami Beach Traffic Consultant.indd Traffic Engineering Consultant Services for City of Miami Beach RFQ 2019-109-ND Kimley-Horn – Individual Licenses 1–24GMOC26043.19w_Miami Beach Traffic Consultant.indd Traffic Engineering Consultant Services for City of Miami Beach RFQ 2019-109-ND 1–25GMOC26043.19w_Miami Beach Traffic Consultant.indd Traffic Engineering Consultant Services for City of Miami Beach RFQ 2019-109-ND Subconsultant’s Certifications/Licenses NDS Data GMOC26043.19w_Miami Beach Traffic Consultant.indd Traffic Engineering Consultant Services for City of Miami Beach RFQ 2019-109-ND 1–26 Traffic Engineering Consultant Services for City of Miami Beach RFQ 2019-109-ND 2–1GMOC26043.19w_Miami Beach Traffic Consultant.indd TAB 2.

Traffic Engineering Services Now more than ever, transportation agencies are forced to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of their limited resources. This means doing more with less—and sound traffic engineering is one of the best ways to accomplish this goal. Our team has seasoned staff that is ready to help clients strategize, analyze, and optimize the operations and safety of their transportation network. From complex ITS and traffic signal systems to simple pavement marking or signing plans, our team has the experience, training, and knowledge to break up the bottlenecks and keep traffic moving. Safe and efficient traffic flow is no accident—it results from experienced and trained traffic engineers paying attention to many details to provide functional traffic control systems. Our diverse team has the people and experience to handle a wide range of traffic engineering solutions for the City of Miami Beach. Kimley-Horn’s wide spectrum of traffic engineering experience includes: Q Data collection Q Traffic impact studies Q Access-Egress and internal circulation studies Q Speed, classification, and volume studies Q Traffic calming studies and cut-through analysis Q Freeway, arterial, and intersection capacity analysis Q Traffic signal warrant analysis Q High accident location studies Q Crash analysis Q Pavement marking and signage design Q Maintenance of Traffic plans Q Transportation demand management Q Complete streets planning and design Q Valet, parking, and rideshare reviews Q Traffic signal phasing and timing studies Traffic Impact Study Reviews Preparing and reviewing traffic impact analyses has been a major part of our profession since our founding in 1967. We understand that transportation must be quantified and documented based on an analysis which considers how many trips are generated, how they are assigned to the transportation system, and over what time periods. Existing traffic and future conditions, with and without the project, must be considered. Kimley-Horn engineers have developed access and circulation plans for numerous mixed-use developments ranging from one-half acre to more than 6,000 acres. Moreover, our firm has prepared the circulation elements of specific plans for a number of large development projects. In addition, we have conducted several special-event generated traffic and circulation studies for destination resort developments, convention centers, and sports arenas. Our staff has reviewed or performed hundreds of traffic impact studies, from minor infill developments to large scale multi-use developments with major impacts on the transportation system. We understand that the traffic impacts from non-typical uses such as a tourist attractions, large casinos, and multi-screen theaters can have significant impacts on the transportation system at times other than traditional peak traffic hours. Kimley-Horn has the proven expertise to identify what types of improvements or mitigation measures are warranted and assess their respective impacts. In addition to operational impacts, we can also identify environmental impacts such as air and noise pollution, safety impacts, and impacts on pedestrians, bicycles, and transit. As a result of our extensive experience in traffic impact assessment, we understand what type of data is needed to determine needs, solutions, and impacts. West Avenue and 17th Street 2–3GMOC26043.19w_Miami Beach Traffic Consultant.indd Traffic Engineering Consultant Services for City of Miami Beach RFQ 2019-109-ND Kimley-Horn’s longstanding history as leaders in the traffic engineering industry provides us with a strong technical basis to estimate a project’s expected trip generation including vehicle trips, transit ridership, and bicycle/pedestrian trips. Kimley-Horn has developed customizable software that can estimate a projects trip generation including mode split, internalization, and pass-by trips where applicable. These streamlined databases allow for quick analyses of multiple scenarios to determine the most accurate methods for estimating development trips. Trip generation estimates are based upon the latest publications from the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Project traffic distribution and assignment is typically developed using the Miami-Dade Transportation Planning Organization’s (TPO’s) Directional Distribution Report, often referred to as the Cardinal Distribution. This report is based upon analyses conducted using the Southeast Florida Regional Planning Model known as SERPM. Although the Cardinal Distribution is often sufficient for purposes of identifying the patterns in which traffic will travel into and out of the site, some cases may require the use of the SERPM model. Kimley-Horn routinely uses the SERPM model in large public-sector projects and can easily apply our expertise to this contract. Future traffic projections require an understanding of historic traffic trends, future regional traffic growth projection based upon population growth and major capacity improvements, and development projects approved by not yet constructed in the City of Miami Beach. The Kimley-Horn team, through our significant private sector experience with the City, as well as our involvement in major public-sector projects for the Florida Department of Transportation and the Miami- Dade TPO. Kimley-Horn’s unique balance of current public and private sector experience in the area is an asset to this contract. Typical operational analyses tools used for this contract will include Trafficware’s Synchro software for intersections and FDOT’s ART-PLAN software for multimodal corridor analyses. Kimley-Horn staff uses both of these software tools on a daily basis and, because of our extensive use, understands the nuances that occur with all software’s. Over the years, we have developed solutions to numerous software issues in order to obtain accurate level of service results. We understand that inputs that are required for these tools and how they impact the results. This is critical in the identification of legitimate transportation deficiencies and effective solutions to mitigate those. Transportation Demand Management/Complete Streets Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies help reduce the reliance on single-occupant vehicle trips by promoting bicycling and walking, encouraging car/vanpooling and offering mobility alternatives. When a new application for land development or redevelopment is filed with the City, the project should commit to as many TDM strategies as possible in order to maximize mobility options while reducing single-occupant vehicle trips. These TDM strategies include the following: Q Providing subsidized transit passes for employees Q Creation of an Employee Transportation Coordinator position to run the TDM programs Q Provide secure bicycle parking (bicycle racks and/or lockers) Q Provide transit information within the site including route schedules and maps Q Designated scooter/motorcycle parking spaces Q Carpool incentive program for employees Q Providing a Citibike station or bike rentals Q Car/vanpooling designated parking spaces Q Including wide hallways for bicycles within the project Q Providing elevators that can accommodate bikes Q Bike workroom or shop Q Bike washing stations Q Lockers for bicyclists to change Q Showers for bicyclists Q Improved, enhanced (wide) sidewalks around the site Q Bike drop-off/valet service Citibike Station 2–4GMOC26043.19w_Miami Beach Traffic Consultant.indd Traffic Engineering Consultant Services for City of Miami Beach RFQ 2019-109-ND TDM strategies are only half the equation to truly provide multimodal options that residents, employees, and visitors to Miami Beach will use. The second half is implementing Complete Streets design into projects whenever the opportunity arises. Kimley-Horn has been a leader on Complete Streets Design throughout South Florida. Our approach to these design guidelines represents the new paradigm of “proactive” design that is crucial to integrating Complete Streets concepts into municipal transportation projects. Complete Streets philosophies recognize that the way we design our streets can change the behavior of street users; guide users throughout physical and environmental cues; manage vehicle speeds; encourage walking, bicycling, and public transit use; and embrace the unique characteristics that surround the street (often referred to as context-sensitive designs). Our multidisciplinary approach goes well beyond simply providing plans, specifications, and estimates, by also includes an appreciation of how the project fits within the functionality of the mobility network. We have also successfully navigated political and community-based planning to build consensus for transportation demand management programs, strategies, and policies. We focus on matching the needs of the local municipalities with those of the region and matched policies, funding, and strategies to begin to implement and streamline transportation demand management activities into the area. This understanding allows Kimley-Horn to provide our clients with reasonable and practical design solutions that will not detract from the functionality of the roadway network. Maintenance is also an important aspect of Complete Streets and will be emphasized during the design process to be in line with maintenance budgets and commitments. Parking Kimley-Horn understands that parking is about communities, people, and business, as well as traffic. For more than three decades, we have successfully balanced the needs of residents, business people, visitors, and public agencies by providing parking reviews that evaluate how to meet today’s needs while identifying groundwork for the future. Public agencies from coast to coast (governments, downtown development districts, airport authorities, and hospitals) rely on us for realistic parking projections for specific families, special events, or entire cities. We identify and prioritize an optimal mix of facility development and parking management strategies; build consensus for cost-effective solutions; and make sure rates, regulations, and ordinances reflect new land uses, support business development, and protect neighborhoods. When the review is done, clients can still count on Kimley-Horn to design and develop parking facilities and management systems. From reviews to structure, we help you effectively leverage the power of parking for the future of your community.Faena District Mechanical Parking Access 1111 Lincoln Road Garage 2–5GMOC26043.19w_Miami Beach Traffic Consultant.indd Traffic Engineering Consultant Services for City of Miami Beach RFQ 2019-109-ND We understand that many projects that will be reviewed in Miami Beach, as part of this contract, will have a mechanical parking component and valet parking. We are well versed in reviewing these types of analyses as we have prepared over 50 analyses for either mechanical parking systems and valet operations. The amount of stacking space and number of attendants are the critical items to consider in these analyses. Roadway Design/Site Circulation/Signing and Marking Recommendations borne from the studies and reviews performed as part of this contract will ultimately be implemented requiring professionals with the knowledge and experience in design and permitting within the City of Miami Beach, Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation and Public Works, and Florida Department of Transportation District Six (FDOT-D6) jurisdictions. Roadway design, site circulation, and signing and pavement marking are some of the mainstays of Kimley-Horn’s professional practice and we are well equipped to address any design need, including vehicle circulation, signing and pavement marking, roadway geometrics, low impact design (LID) systems, ADA compliance, traffic control, and more. As a main component to roadway design and traffic engineering, Kimley-Horn has prepared numerous signing and pavement marking plans for various projects. These projects include studies to extensive signing and pavement marking plans for urban and rural roadway projects. Our goal is to successfully maintain the safety of pedestrians and vehicular traffic. In addition, Kimley-Horn has the capabilities to prepare these plans that are out-of-the-box, but comply with the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices and the Florida Department of Transportation Design Standards. Traffic Calming Evaluation Our team has performed many license plate matching studies to determine the origin and destination of traffic on local streets and calculate the percentage of “cut- through” traffic to develop plans to mitigate negative impacts. We understand the proper application of traffic calming tools such as roundabouts, speed humps, speed tables, diverters, splitter islands, chicanes, and textured pavement. We strive to balance mobility for motorists with safety and quality of life for the surrounding neighborhoods and localities.

APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY 3.1 Project Understanding Kimley-Horn understands that the City of Miami Beach is seeking the expertise of a qualified firm to perform traffic impact study reviews for qualifying private development projects within the City. Kimley-Horn’s approach focuses on the technical aspects of traffic impact studies and site plan reviews. Other critical aspects of these studies include valet and rideshare operations; vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle circulation; parking, including mechanical parking; traffic calming; and loading operations. The following sections summarize our technical approach to each facet of a traffic impact study review: Traffic Impact Study Review Process Study Parameters/Methodology Several key parameters must be verified including the development/redevelopment’s expected new trip generation, the study area including intersections and corridors, and the study time periods. In order to verify the project’s expected new trip generation, understanding the density and operating status of the current land use that will be replaced must be quantified. If the existing land use is no longer in operation or the parcel proposed for development is vacant, then trip generation credit for that land use for the purpose of the traffic impact study are not applicable because the existing site’s trips are traveling on the existing roadway network. However, if the current land use is operating, the current occupied space must be identified and confirmed. Kimley-Horn will work with the City’s Transportation Department to determine if existing development intensity (i.e. square footage of use, number of residential units, or number of restaurant seats) should be accounted for in the study. If necessary, Miami- Dade County Property Appraiser information may be referenced to determine this information. Confirming that the appropriate analysis area for the traffic impact study is examined is also a key parameter. Kimley-Horn’s approach will be to define an initial study area radius from the project boundaries based upon the project’s new trip generation. We recommend a tiered process by which the radius increases as the number of trips generated by a potential development increase. This will provide general consistency for all traffic studies reviewed on behalf of the City. However, it is important to only use a pre-determined study radius to determine the initial study area. Other factors may require an expanded study area such as unique roadway network configurations, for instance, one-way streets or restrictions at the project access points such as a right-turn- only driveway. These special situations may require a larger study area to comprehensively evaluate the project’s true impacts. At a minimum, the study area should include all access driveways, adjacent roadways and major intersections, and the first signalized intersection in each direction (north, south, east, and west) from the site. The study area will determine the intersections and corridors to be analyzed. Development impacts are typically examined during the weekday peak hour of adjacent street which usually coincides with the morning and afternoon rush-hour periods. However, the nature and location of proposed developments on Miami Beach may require modified analysis periods as major impacts from these developments may fall outside those time periods such as beach activities, major entertainment/dining venues (Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road), and schools. Therefore, 3–2GMOC26043.19w_Miami Beach Traffic Consultant.indd Traffic Engineering Consultant Services for City of Miami Beach RFQ 2019-109-ND identifying the appropriate time periods to study is critical during this phase. Specific to Miami Beach, 96-hour (Thursday through Sunday) continuous counts may be necessary to identify the peak period for analysis. Kimley-Horn proposes to develop a standardized study assumptions and parameters document that will be used for each project that identifies the important parameters for the traffic impact that can be distributed to other City Departments and the applicant to ensure concurrence with all parties. Existing Conditions Analysis Validation The intersection operating conditions analysis prepared by the applicant’s traffic engineer will be reviewed to establish the foundation of the traffic impact analysis. The appropriate results should be based upon the Transportation Research Board’s (TRB) Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methodologies only as HCM results are consistent with federal guidelines. It is expected that the transportation analysis will be conducted in Trafficware’s Synchro software. It is anticipated that specific analysis files will be reviewed as there is a significant number of factors and inputs that can impact the results. We will review the analysis files to limit those adjustments to only factors where (a) we have actual data verifying the adjustment factor or (b) they more realistically model driver behavior/tendencies in South Florida. These factors may include: Q Heavy vehicle percentages Q Central Business District factor (reduces saturation flow) Q Pedestrian crossing volumes Q Pedestrian turning conflicts Q Bicycle conflicts Q On-street parking lanes Q Bus blockages Heavy Vehicle Percentages. The typical heavy vehicle (truck) default value is 2 percent, based on the TRB’s HCM 6th Edition. In order to develop a more accurate operational model, measured heavy vehicle percentages can be applied to study intersections and corridors. Central Business District Saturation Flow Factor. The ideal saturation flow rate per lane is 1,900 vehicles/hour/ lane per the HCM. In central business district (CBD) areas the ideal saturation flow rate is reduced to approximately 1,700 vehicles/hour/lane to account for parking maneuvers, narrow street right-of-ways, reduced radii for turns, higher pedestrian activity, dense population, vehicle blockage/loading areas, taxi and bus activity, and midblock driveway connections. On-Street Parking Lanes. Accounting for on-street parking lanes provides additional refined analysis of determining actual operating conditions beyond the CBD saturation ideal flow rate adjustment. Parking maneuvers in and out of on- street parking spaces reduces the saturation flow rate of the adjacent travel lanes. Pedestrian Crossing Volumes/Pedestrian Calls. The pedestrian crossing volumes/pedestrian calls can impact the vehicle level of service of an intersection. This input accounts for pedestrians pushing the crosswalk button and the resulting impact on fully-actuated signal-controlled intersections. There is no impact on intersections with pre-timed signals. Pedestrian Turning Conflicts. Pedestrian turning conflicts account for the impact of pedestrians in the crosswalk during the walk phase that conflict with Ocean Drive Ocean Terrace 3–3GMOC26043.19w_Miami Beach Traffic Consultant.indd Traffic Engineering Consultant Services for City of Miami Beach RFQ 2019-109-ND permitted right-turn and left-turn movements. The number of conflicting pedestrians reduces the ideal saturation flow rate for right-turn and left-turn movements. Bicycle Conflicts. Bicycle conflicts account for the impact of through traveling bicycles on right-turning vehicles. The number of conflicting bicycles reduces the ideal saturation flow rate for right-turn movements. Conflicting bicycles are not input for left-turn movements, since it is assumed bicycles will clear the intersection during the queue clearance time for vehicles. Bus Blockages. Bus blockages account for the impact of bus stops located on the near side (before) of intersections on travel lanes. The number of bus blockages per hour reduces the ideal saturation flow rate for through and right-turn movements. Historically, the location of a project within the City will have an impact on the applicable level of service (LOS) standard. For instance, the 2025 Comprehensive Plan states that projects located within the City’s Transportation Concurrency Management Areas (TCMA) may range from LOS D to LOS D+20%. Kimley-Horn, as part of our approach, will identify the applicable LOS standards for each study area as part of the study parameters/ methodology. However, the City is in process of adopting a mobility fee ordinance that identifies City of Miami Beach as a Transportation Concurrency Exempt Area (TCEA) and each project will need to pay the mobility fee while removing the adopted LOS standards. It is expected that LOS will still be examined as part of the traffic study with a greater emphasis on left/right turn-lane storage capacity length. Traffic data is typically adjusted for peak season using the appropriate FDOT peak season conversion factor based on Miami-Dade Countywide data. Based on the many traffic studies we have prepared in the City of Miami Beach we understand that the peak season conversion factors tend to peak over a longer period of time and peak at higher rates. This also will be coordinated with the City’s Transportation Department. Future Traffic Projection and Background Conditions Validation Kimley-Horn will verify that future traffic volumes are projected using two sources: committed development information and future growth rate analyses. A committed development is defined as a project approved by the City/ adjacent municipality but not yet constructed or a development project that has been submitted to the City for review prior to the subject development. The traffic impact study must account for committed projects in the vicinity where traffic study analysis areas overlap. Additionally, the general growth in traffic volumes within the region must be accounted for in the study. Kimley- Horn will evaluate provided growth trend analyses using either or both of FDOT and Miami-Dade County historical traffic data and model volume forecasts obtained from the Southeast Florida Regional Planning Model (SERPM) maintained by FDOT for the Miami- Dade Transportation Planning Organization (TPO). As part of the evaluation, Kimley-Horn will determine if the most appropriate growth is applied through regression analyses for the best fit curve. Future traffic projections must be developed for the expected buildout date of single-phase development projects and for up to three horizon years for multi-phase developments. 3–4GMOC26043.19w_Miami Beach Traffic Consultant.indd Traffic Engineering Consultant Services for City of Miami Beach RFQ 2019-109-ND Kimley-Horn will request that Miami-Dade County TPO’s Five-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and the City’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP) be reviewed by the applicant’s traffic engineer to identify any planned or programmed improvements that may impact traffic volumes or operations within the study area. In addition, we will coordinate with the City’s Transportation Department to identify any potential projects that may impact the site or the transportation corridors adjacent to the development site. Project Traffic Corroboration In general, the trip generation for the development will be estimated as part of the study parameters/methodology stage. However, the trip generation may be adjusted as a result of site plan modifications made by the applicant based on input from other City Departments. Project trip generation will be estimated for each study period using the latest version of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, which is currently the 10th Edition. It is important to note that ITE provides both trip generation rates and equations for different land uses. The application of the rate or the equation can often yield drastically different trip generation. ITE provides specific instructions on the appropriate use of the rate or the equation. We are very familiar with this procedure as we have prepared these types of calculations for more than 500 projects in South Florida. We will confirm that the appropriate ITE guidelines for the trip generation calculations were followed. Typically, the gross project trip generation estimate will then be adjusted to account for the multimodal split, internal capture, and pass-by capture, as appropriate. Each project will be reviewed to determine that the appropriate multimodal split was utilized. The U.S. Census Bureau provides ‘Journey to Work” data that provides transit usage within City of Miami Beach Census Tracts for residents traveling to and from their places of employment. Note that, depending on the type of development proposed, multimodal split reductions may not be applicable as the available data is only related to job-based trip types. Typically, the City’s Transportation Department limits the multimodal factor to 20 percent. Furthermore, for mixed-use developments, Kimley-Horn will review internal capture reductions for consistency with the procedures outlined in ITE’s Trip Generation Handbook, 3rd Edition. Internal capture reductions account for project patrons that visit multiple land uses in one visit without accessing the external roadway network. Similarly, pass-by capture reductions may be applied for retail trips in which patrons are already traveling on the roadway network and visit the site as they ‘pass-by’, thereby, not creating a new trip on the transportation network. Kimley-Horn will review the project traffic distribution and assignment of project traffic on the transportation network for consistency with the Miami-Dade TPO’s latest Directional Trip Distribution Report for the appropriate Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) using the horizon year most applicable to the development’s build out date. The project traffic distribution may be adjusted to account for site access configuration and regional traffic patterns within the area. Therefore, the cardinal distribution does not account for the local roadway network and the most direct routes to major limited access facilities in the area. Kimley-Horn has extensive experience performing traffic impact studies in the City of Miami Beach. Therefore, we have a sound technical foundation in determining appropriate and accurate project traffic distributions and assignments. 3–5GMOC26043.19w_Miami Beach Traffic Consultant.indd Traffic Engineering Consultant Services for City of Miami Beach RFQ 2019-109-ND Future Traffic Analysis Validation Utilizing the same approach as for the Existing Condition Analysis of intersections and corridors, future year background conditions without the project/no-build and future year total conditions with the project/build will be evaluated. Under the future total project condition, the development site’s access points must be analyzed to ensure adequate traffic operations. If necessary, recommendation on how to improve the access point’s operation may be provided and may include turning restrictions or additional turn lanes into or out of the site. Although the City is removing the adopted LOS as part of the TCEA and mobility fee ordinance, it is expected that LOS and/or turn lane queues will still be reviewed to determine traffic operations and determine if mitigation measures are required. If the project creates operational or circulation issues, mitigation measures must be outlined in the traffic impact analysis. Transportation Control Management/ Mitigation Measures Review Mitigation measures for each project will be evaluated as part of future conditions traffic analysis. The type of mitigation measures identified for each deficiency will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Regardless of the results of the traffic impact analysis, it is expected that recommendations for Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies/improvements will be provided to reduce the vehicular impact in the City. As public right-of-way is limited, traditional turn-lane and roadway widening cannot be accommodated. Therefore, the City’s progressive land use policies support mixed-use, transit/pedestrian-oriented development. The focus of these transit/pedestrian-oriented developments has resulted the City taking a holistic multimodal/mobility approach to transportation. Accommodating the County’s recent growth, properly preparing for additional projected business, commercial, and residential growth and the everyday maintenance of urban lifestyle and livability conditions, are all elements of the economic health and vitality of Miami Beach that can be addressed through TDM. When a new application for land development or redevelopment is filed with the City, the project should commit to as many TDM strategies as possible in order to maximize mobility options while reducing single-occupant vehicle trips. These TDM strategies include the following: Q Providing subsidized transit passes for employees Q Creation of an Employee Transportation Coordinator position to run the TDM programs Q Provide secure bicycle parking (bicycle racks and/or lockers) Q Provide transit information within the site including route schedules and maps Q Designated scooter/motorcycle parking spaces Q Carpool incentive program for employees Q Providing a Citibike station or bike rentals Q Car/vanpooling designated parking spaces Q Including wide hallways for bicycles within the project Q Providing elevators that can accommodate bikes Q Bike workroom or shop Q Bike washing stations Q Lockers for bicyclists to change Q Showers for bicyclists Q Improved, enhanced (wide) sidewalks around the site Q Bike drop-off/valet service Beyond TDM, Kimley-Horn will examine the feasibility of any other mitigation measures proposed by the applicant. 3–6GMOC26043.19w_Miami Beach Traffic Consultant.indd Traffic Engineering Consultant Services for City of Miami Beach RFQ 2019-109-ND 95th Percentile Queue Analysis Validation At sensitive intersections within the City and at project driveways, it is expected that a 95th percentile queueing analysis will be included in the Study Parameters/Methodology. Note that the evaluation will examine the queues at the site driveway and at the adjacent study intersections to determine if adjacent intersection queues will adversely impact traffic entering or exiting the site. This evaluation may also yield additional mitigation measures for the developer to agree to. Traffic Circulation/Access Plan, Valet, Maneuverability, and Parking Requirements Review The most critical element of the traffic impact study process is the review of the site plan related to traffic circulation and access. In our experience, this process is where the reviewer can have the most positive impact on the project and its potential impacts. Our review will focus on the following areas: Q Project driveway design – pedestrian sight triangles, turning radii, lane widths, and driveway length. Q Parking garage entry gate operations – adequate entry lane capacity, gate location, gate technology, procession time, and queue storage. Q Valet operations – queue storage, staffing feasibility, processing time, valet routing, and by- pass lane design. Q Rideshare operations – drop-off/pick-up locations, sizing of drop-off/pick-up area, and geofencing locations. Q Parking design/configuration – parking code requirements, terminating drive aisle, adequate geometry for opposing turning movements, column conflicts, sight distance, and signing/pavement markings. Q Internal site circulation – parking aisle configuration, maneuverability, reserved parking areas, entry/exit routes, and pedestrian routing. Q Loading and service operations – vehicle maneuverability, adequate loading bay depth, pedestrian conflicts, and refuse truck operations. Q Pedestrian/bicycle access/facilities – adequate onsite pedestrian facilities/routing, bicycle facilities including secure storage, and connectivity to the right-of-way. Q School Traffic Operation Plans (TOP) – this task is specific to schools and includes preparing accumulation studies for student arrival and dismissal. The TOP also includes a diagram of the site circulation and queue staging area. Kimley-Horn will review each site plan as part of the traffic impact study to identify potential deficiencies and provide recommendations to enhance the project’s circulation design. 3–7GMOC26043.19w_Miami Beach Traffic Consultant.indd Traffic Engineering Consultant Services for City of Miami Beach RFQ 2019-109-ND Additional Technical Analyses Our team’s diverse technical skillset allows us to review and validate numerous additional technical analyses. Our traffic engineering team has experience in various traffic engineering analysis and study types through our work with other agencies including FDOT, Miami-Dade County, and other municipalities. Kimley-Horn is a single business center allowing us to seamlessly share resources across the state and the country. We understand that tasks may include preparing or reviewing the following: Q Traffic engineering tasks including signal timing optimization, signal warrant analyses, safety analyses, left-turn phasing analyses, transit level of service analyses, traffic calming evaluations and pedestrian/bicycle level of stress evaluations. Q Traffic design tasks including sight distance analyses, site access/circulation review, and geometric evaluations including heavy vehicle movements. Kimley-Horn’s depth and breadth of resources can cover all these assignment types and perform them quickly and simultaneously when needed. Our team of transportation design professionals stand ready to assist the traffic team with any assignments provided by the City. Public Meetings Our senior and mid-level professionals have extensive experience in public speaking at public meetings with appointed or elected officials. We have represented both public and private sector clients at planning and zoning board and city commission meetings at nearly all of the municipalities in Miami-Dade County including the City of Miami Beach. Kimley-Horn has presented on both traffic and parking issues for many projects in the City including recent projects such as the Starwood Office Headquarters, 1685 Washington Avenue, One Hotel, Monad Terrace, and Thompson Hotel. Our approach to public meetings and presentation is that of simplification. It is important to present the technical information in a manner that is easy for the public and elected officials to understand. Relating the results/conditions to situations that a non- technical person experiences in their everyday commute is often the best way to present the results of the traffic impact study. Interdepartmental Coordination Development projects under City review are often very dynamic, with site plans and development programs routinely being modified to address comments from various City departments. Therefore, coordination with other reviewing departments is an important part of this process. As mentioned in the study parameters section, Kimley-Horn will develop a standard document that will summarize our review assumptions that can be circulated to all appropriate departments for concurrence including the Planning Department and City Attorney’s Office. It is important that all parties agree on the key elements of the study to eliminate the need for revisions at a later date. Once the study is initially submitted by the applicant, the Kimley-Horn team will correspond with City staff, as necessary, to convey the results of our review, provide input on recommendations for mitigation/site plan enhancements, and obtain input from staff. In order to keep the project on schedule, our team will coordinate with each partner department individually to see if any input is needed. Once input is received, a comment memorandum will be issued to the applicant. 3–8GMOC26043.19w_Miami Beach Traffic Consultant.indd Traffic Engineering Consultant Services for City of Miami Beach RFQ 2019-109-ND Project Management Project schedules are the critical element of private development projects. As such, completing the traffic impact study review for each development project in a timely manner and meeting the agreed-upon schedule will be a key measure of the success of this program. Our team was specifically tailored with schedule adherence in mind. We have incorporated redundancies at every level. Adrian Dabkowski, our project manager is well-versed at managing multiple projects and multiple teams simultaneously over the past 17 years. Omar Kanaan, our deputy project manager will assist Adrian in overseeing the daily assignments, project production and resource management of the contract. We have assembled two distinct traffic impact study teams ensuring no delays in the review of the traffic impact studies. We propose John McWilliams as our Quality Assurance/Quality Control manager who will review each work product objectively, as he will not be involved in the direct review on each study. Our depth of qualified staff will allow us to accelerate project schedules giving City staff ample time to review our findings. Kimley-Horn will identify the project schedule for each assignment at the onset and communicate with the City’ project manager on the status of each task. Program Management/GIS Database A key element to the success of this traffic study program is tracking each project within the City at each stage of the process. Projects can be under review, approved but not yet constructed, constructed but not yet occupied, and completed and occupied. The status of each project will be important to understand for future traffic impact studies nearby. Additionally, locations where traffic study areas overlap between projects is an important resource in development study methodologies for new projects. In order to address this issue, Kimley-Horn proposes to develop a Geographic Information System (GIS) based tracking system. Erin Emmons, our certified GIS planner will lead this effort. We recommend the following tasks associated with development this tracking system. Q Identify current development projects within the City that are currently under review, approved by not yet constructed, constructed by not yet occupied, and completed an occupied. Obtain the traffic impact study/methodology for each of the projects. Q Identify the location of each project and prepare a database with the project’s status, development plan, and study corridors and intersections. Q Link the completed traffic study for each project to the database for easy retrieval. Q Prepare a query tool that allows potential projects to be input into the system to identify other projects where study areas overlap to identify which committed projects should be included in the traffic impact study. The tool could also be expanded to input the actual project traffic distribution and assignment from each committed development allowing data to be extracted for the next traffic impact study seamlessly. This database would streamline this often-arduous process and eliminate the any subjectively regarding the inclusion of committed developments. The tool would also allow staff to quickly answer technical questions from elected officials or the public regarding the status of project and the associated traffic impacts.
