RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Mayor and City Commission approve the Resolution authorizing the Administration to negotiate with Brizaga, Inc., as the top-ranked proposer, to serve as the primary consultant for the private property adaptation program. The Resolution also authorizes the Administration to negotiate with Local Office Landscape and Urban Design and Cummins Cederberg, I`nc., as the second-ranked and third-ranked proposers, respectively, to establish a pool of prequalified consultants to assist with smaller engagements relating to property adaptation program and related needs. The Resolution also authorizes the City Manager and City Clerk to execute Agreements upon conclusion of successful negotiations by the Administration and the CityAttomey's Office. BACKGROUND/HISTORY The City has established a Private Property Adaptation Program to reduce the risk of flooding for privately-owned properties by incentivizing owners to make flood mitigation and resilience improvements to their properties. The program's main objective is to assess current and future flood risk to private properties and recommend improvements tailored to each property. The program intends to incentivize property owners to improve their properties through a grant program to improve flood mitigation and resilience. The first phase of this program is the Page 218 of 1313 DocuSign Envelope ID:02B48B2D-FA65-4847-BB33-DCDB489095B1 assessment process detailed within this solicitation. The second phase is design and construction, which is not a part of this solicitation. The assessment will identify the flood mitigation vulnerabilities for each applying property and recommend possible improvements to reduce risk and damage to the property. The completed assessment will position the property owner to apply for grant funding. (Initially,the property assessment process will be conducted with a limited number of properties selected as pilot properties. Once those assessments are completed, the process can be evaluated and modified as needed to have a uniform assessment that can be used for the broader pool of all applying properties.The selected consultant will assist the City in completing the initial assessments on the pilot properties and, subsequently, fine-tuning the assessment process using the experience and knowledge gained during the pilot properties. Through the RFQ,the City requested proposals from resilience consultant(s)with experience in private property flood mitigation, landscape architecture focusing on green infrastructure, and expertise and knowledge with planning using NOAA sea level rise projections for climate change adaptation. The consultant(s) team should include multidisciplinary firm(s) to assess flood risk to private properties and make recommendations for improvements tailored to each property. The services required under the RFQ include but are not limited to assessment program management, screening site visit, assessment (final assessment to be informed by pilot program), and standardized reports, and any related services. The consultant(s) should provide proper scheduling and quick turnaround to answer property owners. The produced reports should be standardized,of high quality, easy to understand from a property owner's perspective, including estimates for the improvements and guide on what type of permits would be required. The initial pilot assessments should include, but not be limited to, the relevant considerations from the list below. The extent of the assessment will be determined after an initial site visit, based on the property needs. It is expected that the private property owner will submit the Elevation Certificate prior to the assessment for the consultant's review. 1.

The proposed improvements should have a cost estimate that includes the maintenance cost, which the owner would be responsible for at least one year. The improvements should also include type(s) of flooding event(s) addressed (rain, tides, storm surge, SLR)and the expected time frame of protection. The proposed work can only focus on flood mitigation improvements. r The following type of properties are eligible: • single-family homes; • multi family residential properties;and •commercial properties. ANALYSIS On September 17, 2021, the Mayor and City Commission approved the issuance of Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 2021-349-KB for Private Property Adaptation Program Assessment Consulting Services. RFQ responses were due and received on November 2, 2021. The City received proposals from the following four (4) firms: Brizaga, Inc. ("Brizaga"), Cummins Cederberg, Inc. ("Cummins"), Florida Technical Consultants, LLC, and Local Office Landscape and Urban Design("LOLA"). On December 3, 2021, Florida Technical Consultants, LLC notified the City that it would like to withdraw its proposal. Therefore, the proposal from Florida Technical Consultants, LLC was withdrawn and not further considered. On December 16, 2021, the Evaluation Committee appointed by the Interim City Manager convened to consider the proposals received. The Committee was comprised .of Sabrina Baglieri, Senior Capital Projects Coordinator, Office of Capital Improvements Projects; Mohsen Jarahpour, Flood Plain Manager, Building Department;Amy Knowles, Chief Resiliency Officer, City Manager's Office; Rogelio Madan, Chief of Community Planning and Sustainability, Planning Department;and.Rodney Knowles,.Assistant Director, Public Works Department.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 ranked Brizaga, Inc. Page 220 of 1313 • DocuSign Envelope ID:02B48B2D-FA65-4847-BB33-DCDB489095B1 2nd ranked Local Office Landscape and Urban Design 3rd ranked Cummins Cederberg, Inc. Below is a brief summary of the proposers. Brizaga. Inc.: Brizaga is a Southeast Florida multidisciplinary civil and coastal engineering firm built to solve complex problems by strategically leveraging science,communications, and policy. Brizaga was founded by two friends of over two decades, an oceanographer&meteorologist and a coastal& civil engineer, dedicated to helping individuals, businesses, and governments understand and begin to address the effects of a changing environment, including sea-level rise.

Cummins Cederberg. Inc.: Cummins Cederberg is a leading engineering firm for complex coastal and marine engineering projects in South Florida and the Caribbean. Cummins Cederberg is repeatedly selected ahead of larger national engineering firms due to our unique and focused qualifications. The firm's success is established by transparently providing high-quality work to develop long-term relationships with private and public clients. • Cummins Cederberg has an exclusive focus on the waterfront projects and adaption of upland communities. The company has developed into one of Florida's top engineering firms for adaptation of sea level. Experience includes adaptation plans for seven of Miami-Dade County's largest waterfront parks (e.g., Crandon Park, Haulover Park, Matheson Hammock Park, etc.), larger communities such as Brickell Key and Indian Creek, as well as private homeowners and condominiums throughout South Florida and within the City of Miami Beach. Cummins Cederberg frequently provides expert advice for repairs and redevelopment of private residences within the City, communicating the City's code and implications for homeowners in layman terms. This communication offers unique experience and knowledge both on the planning and implementation sides. The professional team at Cummins Cederberg comprises coastal engineers, structural engineers, civil engineers, marine biologists, regulatory and policy Page 221 of 1313 DocuSign Envelope ID:02648B2D-FA65-4847-BB33-DCDB489095B1 experts, marine scientists, and surveyors with proven experience in all facets of adaptation projects. SUPPORTING SURVEY DATA According to the 2019 Community Satisfaction Survey conducted by ETC institute, a 50% satisfaction rating was given for efforts to manage stormwater drainage and flooding. In further evaluation, flood risk protection has a 43.1% satisfaction level. In order to increase resident satisfaction in these areas, the city intends on establishing a Private Property Adaptation Program to reduce the risk of flooding for privately-owned properties by incentivizing owners to make flood mitigation and resilience improvements to their properties.Through this RFQ one or more consultants will complete the flood vulnerability assessments and recommendations for mitigation, which will result in greater satisfaction with stormwater drainage and flooding, and ' flood risk protection by residents. FINANCIAL INFORMATION NA. Fees will be developed during the negotiation process. • Amount(s)/Account(s): The estimated budget for the assessment portion of the Private Property Adaptation program is $281,400.00. Note that this is subject to negotiation.The total budget available for this overall program, including the resilience improvements is$1,332,000.00 under account numbers 000312, 000343, 000349. CONCLUSION - After reviewing all of the submissions and the Evaluation Committee process, I concur with the Evaluation Committee and find Brizaga, Inc., the top-ranked firm, to have presented the best combination of experience, qualifications, approach,and methodology in response to the RFQ. Brizaga was clear that private property adaptation is its goal and mission, and they have a working knowledge of Miami Beach. The firm presented an exciting approach to the project overall and the assessments. Brizaga and its multidisciplinary team that has vast experience with FEMA. Additionally, I believe it is prudent to establish a pool of prequalified consultants that can assist the prime consultant or the City with program needs that may arise. For this reason, I find that Local Office Landscape and Urban Design and Cummins Cederberg, Inc., the firms second and third-ranked firms, respectively, by the Evaluation Committee to be well qualified to serve in this role.

GENERAL.This Request for Qualifications(RFQ) is issued by the City of Miami Beach, Florida(the"City"), as the means for prospective Proposers to submit proposals for the City's consideration in evaluating qualifications to select a firm with whom it may negotiate an agreement for the purpose noted herein. The City utilizes Periscope S2G (formally known as BidSync)(www.periscopeholdings.com or www.bidsync.com)for automatic notification of competitive solicitation opportunities and document fulfillment, including the issuance of any addendum to this RFQ. Any prospective Proposer who has received this RFQ by any means other than through Periscope S2G must register immediately with Periscope S2G to assure it receives any addendum issued to this RFQ. Failure to receive an addendum may result in disqualification of proposal submitted. 2. BACKGROUND.The City has established a Private Property Adaptation program to reduce the risk of flooding for privately-owned properties by incentivizing owners to make improvements to the properties. A main objective of the program is to assess current and future flood risk to private properties and make recommendations for improvements specifically tailored to each property. The program intends to incentivize property owners to make the flood resilience improvements to their properties through a grant program. The first phase of this program is the assessment process detailed within this solicitation, the second phase is design and construction, which is not a part of this solicitation. The assessment will identify the flood mitigation vulnerabilities for each applying property and recommend possible improvements to reduce risk and damage to the property. The completed assessment will position the property owner to apply for grant funding. This RFQ seeks to identify one or more consultants that can complete the flood vulnerability assessments and recommendations for mitigation. This RFQ is issued pursuant to Section 287.055, Florida Statutes, known as the "Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act." The price and terms for the contracts will be negotiated after City Commission approves authorization to negotiate. Detailed hourly rates will be negotiated for all personnel classifications for the firms. The City may request, accept, and consider proposals for the compensation to be paid under the contract only during competitive negotiations, which will take place after the selection of the firm(s) deemed to be the most qualified to perform the required services. If the City is not able to negotiate a mutually satisfactory compensation schedule with the firm(s) which is determined to be fair, competitive and reasonable, additional firms in the order of their competence and qualifications may be selected, and negotiations may continue until an agreement is reached. A brief presentation of the Private Property Adaptation program will be included in the pre-proposal meeting referenced in Section 9 below. Initially, the property assessment process will be conducted with limited number of properties selected as pilot properties. Once those assessments are complete,the process can be evaluated and modified as needed to have a uniform assessment that can be used for the wider pool of all applying properties. The selected consultant will assist the City in developing and fine-tuning the assessment process and criteria using the experience and knowledge gained during the pilot properties. The scope of the agreement and costs for assessments and services will be negotiated with the selected consultant. 3. PURPOSE OF RFQ. Through the RFQ, the City is seeking resilience consultant(s) with experience in private property flood mitigation, landscape architecture with a focus on green infrastructure, and experience and knowledge with planning using NOAA sea level rise projections for climate change adaptation. The consultant(s) team should include multidisciplinary firm(s) to assess flood risk to private properties and make recommendations for improvements tailored to each property.

Additionally, the terms "FIRM", "PROPOSER", "CONSULTANT", "PRIME PROPOSER" or "TEAM" are used interchangeably and shall refer to the firm that will contract with the City for the development and implementation of DocuSign Envelope ID:02B48B2D-FA65-4847-BB33-DCDB489095B1 MIAMI BEACH the project.Additional detail and project description is provided in Section 4 below.

Additionally, to assist with smaller engagements relating to property adaptation program assessment (or related needs), the City intends to create a continuing pool of prequalified consultants (not selected in Option 1 above). Firms that submit a proposal pursuant to the RFQ, and who are deemed to be responsive, responsible and best qualified may be eligible to participate in the continuing pool of pre-qualified consultants. The firms included in the continuing pool will also be eligible to participate as sub- consultants to the prime consultant on applicable projects at the discretion of the City Manager. The process for considering qualifications proposals shall be as follows: 1. City will consider proposals received on or before the due date. 2.

The primary objective was to analyze the impacts of sea level rise on the parks infrastructure and operations, as well as develop flood mitigation and adaptation concepts for planning and budgeting purposes. This park is relatively low lying, which results in flooding to some areas during high tide events. Flooding is a nuisance to visitors,as areas become inaccessible. Cummins Cederberg compiled existing survey data within the Park and LiDAR data for the area to prepare a general topographic map for the park; assessed the condition of existing infrastructure to understand conditions, remaining service life, and adaption feasibility relative to sea level rise; performed an assessment of the environmental conditions on-site to understand and document current conditions as they relate to environmental permitting; conducted an engineering analysis to provide extreme tide water levels; developed flood mitigation concepts and preliminary cost estimates; coordinated stakeholder involvement; developed an implementation strategy; and presented the results and findings into an overall Capital Improvement Plan. The plan is unique, as it combines sea level rise projections, practical concepts and on-the-ground implementation experience with maintenance and replacement requirements relative to overall service life. Upon successful completion the county reengaged Cummins Cederberg to complete six more,which will incorporate all of their waterfront parks.

Cummins Cederberg is providing coastal engineering and environmental consulting services for the Lake Worth Inlet Flood Shoal Dredging Project, located adjacent to the Port of Palm Beach,Peanut Island Park, and the Lake Worth Inlet. Cummins Cederberg designed the project,which consists of dredging a portion of the eastern perimeter and a center cut through the shoal to increase navigation and safety. The center cut will restore sediment deposition capacity in areas where sediment has historically deposited. As an additional benefit,it will increase access to the interior of the shoal and help reduce vessel density along the eastern and northern perimeters improving navigation and safety in the marked channels. Consulting services include bathymetric survey, current measurements, marine resource survey, engineering design and drawings, FDEP and USACE environmental permitting, coordination and participation in public stakeholder meetings, and coastal engineering analysis. The bathymetric survey and current data were used for coastal modeling and subsequent design. To better understand the highly complex dynamics of the flood shoal and evaluate effects post-dredging, a coastal analysis-was performed. General coastal processes (waves and tidal hydrodynamic), sediment characteristics, sediment transport patterns, infilling time and anticipated dredge frequency, and impact to the Intracoastal Waterway west of the Lake Worth Inlet flood shoal based on cross-sectional profile and potential slope adjustments, as well as anticipated sand movement and deposition were evaluated. The bathymetric survey will also serve as a basis for the dredge design, which will be developed for reshaping of the flood shoal.

The redesign of this 13-acre, multi-use recreational space on the Miami River explores ways in which the park can minimize tidal flood impacts to the surrounding neighborhood,adapt to sea level rise,and enhance waterfront access to residents. Cummins Cederberg is responsible for the inundation modeling, waterfront engineering design, environmental permitting, and grant management. The proposed work includes a floating boardwalk which will provide access for direct water engagement. This will provide the park with a 360-degree classroom experience which requires the strategic placement of the structure with the Miami River on the waterside and the living shoreline • DocuSign Envelope ID:02B48B2D-FA65-4847-BB33-DCDB489095B1 planter on the landward side. The proposed kayak launch will serve as a passive recreational area with public access to the Miami River and Biscayne Bay, a resource not otherwise provided in the direct adjacent neighborhood. The living shoreline and resilient seawall accommodate multiple goals of increasing shoreline stabilization and improving ecosystem services to the area by adding innovative reef wall paneling to the proposed seawalls. The proposed fixed viewing platforms will provide a stable area for the park users to have an urban viewshed of the Miami River and surrounding areas. The platforms are proposed with Fibergrate Micromesh Grating to allow light penetration below for new potential submerged resource establishment (e.g., seagrasses) and HOPE. Oyster mesh is proposed on the sides of the viewing platforms which will hopefully recruit and enhance oyster populations in the area.Lastly,the coasial design includes a water taxi slip for potential water-based commuter services to create a more interconnected transportation option to Miami Beach and other possible locations around the Biscayne Bay. The project includes updating educational signage and improving the parks stormwater systems by retrofitting some outfalls by adding tidal backflow prevention valves.

Given its physically and socially vulnerable location between the Miami River and Little Havana, a low lying, low-income Hispanic community, a participatory design process emphasizing community goals is critical for success. Cummins Cederberg is responsible for the inundation modeling, waterfront engineering design, environmental permitting, and grant management. The proposed work includes a floating boardwalk which will provide access for direct water engagement experience. This will provide the Park with a 360-degree classroom experience which requires the strategic placement of the structure with the Miami River on the waterside of the boardwalk and the living shoreline planter on the landward side of the boardwalk. The proposed kayak launch will serve as a passive recreational area with public access to the Miami River and Biscayne Bay, a resource not otherwise provided in the direct adjacent neighborhood. The living shoreline and resilient seawall accommodate multiple goals of increasing shoreline stabilization and improving ecosystem services to the area by adding innovative reef wall paneling to the proposed seawalls. The proposed fixed viewing platforms will provide a stable area for the park users to have an urban viewshed of the Miami River and surrounding areas. The platforms are proposed with Fibergrate Micromesh Grating to allow light penetration below for new potential submerged resource establishment (i.e., seagrasses) and HDPE. Oyster mesh is proposed on the sides of the viewing platforms to recruit and enhance oyster populations in the area. Lastly, the coastal design includes a water taxi slip for potential water-based commuter services to create a more interconnected transportation option to Miami Beach and other possible locations around the Biscayne Bay. The project includes updating educational signage and improving the park's stormwater systems by retrofitting some outfalls by adding tidal backflow prevention valves.

An inspection of existing coastal infrastructure was conducted to identify vulnerable areas. The entire island perimeter was assessed to address all areas. Analyses of sea level rise and extreme tide events were conducted to understand water level design conditions. The potential for increased storm impacts was also assessed. Recommendations for long term planning were provided along with mitigation options. Construction documents and environmental permitting was conducted for the design of recommended repairs. The recommendations included maintenance repairs to the bulkhead surrounding the island, including stormwater outfalls, continuing cap extensions across identified gaps to limit wave overtopping. The design focused on adapting existing infrastructure to provide a cost-effective solution. As a testament to quality service, Brickell Key Master Association also engaged Cummins Cederberg to perform annual inspections on the bulkhead since 2014.

The marina consists of concrete slabs, piles and caps, which had deteriorated. Cummins Cederberg was retained to conduct an above and below water structural inspection of the existing dock components to ensure the dock could withstand the large loading associated the yachts. The Cummins Cederberg engineering team performed an in-depth inspection noting magnitude and location various defects observed. As part of the team noted that an existing wave attenuation designed incorrectly further accelerated the deterioration, as incoming waves would reflect resulting in increased salt sprays to docks areas. Cummins Cederberg's staff is trained to not only identify the deterioration but also pinpoint the cause of the deterioration. Based on the inspection findings, Cummins Cederberg performed engineering design of recommended repairs, and processed the proposed marine works through the environmental regulatory agencies (DERM, FDEP, and USACE). In addition, Cummins Cederberg assisted with the bid solicitation process, marine contractor selection and construction administration. A Cummins Cederberg Senior Engineer stayed in close contact with the contractor's crew to ensure repairs were conducted correctly including removal and cleaning of deteriorated material as well as use of material for repairs. Construction was performed on time and within 10% of the original construction estimate developed by a Cummins Cederberg as part of the initial inspection.

The project consists of evaluating 22 areas, covering over 10,000 linear feet of shoreline, along the areas known as North and South Lake in the City of Hollywood. Each area will have specific solutions to address seasonal flooding challenges, which may entail the design and implementation of varied shoreline protection infrastructure such as of living shorelines, rock revetments, and bulkheads, to meet the requirements of the new Broward County ordinance. The scope of services includes biological resource surveys, above and below water engineering assessments, coastal and marine engineering, environmental permitting, bidding assistance, and construction administration. Our team of marine biologists recently completed a benthic resource survey of the submerged lands adjacent to the 22 project areas. The survey was conducted using SCUBA during the seagrass growing season and identified important protected resources. Resources observed included shoal grass, paddle grass, and the threatened Johnson's seagrass. This survey will inform project design to ensure impacts to these important resources are avoided and minimized to the maximum extent practicable and will support environmental permit applications. Biologists also assess the vegetation to identify protected and invasive vegetation in the 22 areas. This information will inform project design and support permit applications. Eradication of the exotic vegetation delineated during the survey may also provide ecological mitigation to offset unavoidable project impacts. Upland and in-water engineering site inspections were recently performed at City owned shorelines in North Lake, South Lake, the southern end of West Lake, and along both sides of the ICW to evaluate conditions of existing seawalls and revetments. Tide gauges were deployed in North Lake, South Lake, and the Hollywood Marina to determine tidal prisms, lag time, and water level elevation differences between each lake and the ICW. This information will be utilized for design of tidal flood mitigation structures to protect from king tide and sea level rise flooding. This project will enable the City to mitigate the severe flooding that occurs during king tides in the neighborhoods surrounding North and South Lakes.

Cummins Cederberg was engaged to prepare a Sea Level Rise Flood Mitigation Plan, relative to Matheson Hammock, Haulover, and Crandon Parks, more than 1,500 acres, with the primary objective to analyze the impacts of sea level rise on the park's infrastructure and operations, as well as develop flood mitigation and adaptation concepts for planning and budgeting purposes. These parks are relatively low lying, which results in flooding to some areas during high tide events. Flooding is a nuisance to visitors, as areas become inaccessible. Cummins Cederberg compiled existing survey data within the Park and LiDAR data for the area to prepare a general topographic map for the park; assessed the condition of existing infrastructure to understand conditions, remaining service life, and adaption feasibility relative to sea level rise; performed an assessment of the environmental conditions on-site to understand and document current conditions as they relate to environmental permitting; conducted an engineering analysis to provide extreme tide water levels; developed flood mitigation concepts and preliminary cost estimates; coordinated stakeholder involvement; developed an implementation strategy; and presented the results and findings into an overall Capital Improvement Plan. The roadmaps are unique, as they combine sea level rise projections, practical concepts and on-the- ground implementation experience with maintenance and replacement requirements relative to overall service life. With three completed sea level rise and flood mitigation roadmaps, the County has engaged Cummins Cederberg to complete four more, which will incorporate almost all the waterfront parks.

The project included the design, permitting, and construction oversight of a shoreline stabilization wall, as well as wetland restoration to protect a low- lying restored garden area at Vizcaya Museum and Gardens. The garden is an historical orchidarium in a highly visible area, immediately to the north of the Vizcaya Main House, directly fronting Biscayne Bay. Vizcaya is accredited by the American Association of Museums, which requires adherence to rigorous professional standards for site maintenance and educational programming. The seawall is designed to protect a restored historical garden from storm surge, hydrodynamic, and wave impacts. As part of the seawall design, an adjacent area invaded with exotic vegetation was be restored to native conditions with planting of species native to the Biscayne Bay wetland environment. The restored wetland provides educational opportunities pertaining to Miami's native waterfront environment along with natural protection. When mature, the restored wetlands will assist with dissipating wave energy in a non-intrusive way, as well as integrate into the overall master plan. As the project served to mitigate erosion to navigable waters, Cummins Cederberg prepared and processed a grant application through the Florida Inland Navigation District, successfully securing funding for Vizcaya Museum & Garden.

The One Miami Building is in of Miami's most attractive locations along the revitalized downtown waterfront. The bulkhead is part of the Riverwalk extending from the north side of the Miami River along the western side of Biscayne Bay. Water depths drop rapidly to more than 15 feet due to the continuous traffic of large container vessels and yachts for industrial areas and marinas along the Miami River. The large vessels provide increased risk of scour due to localized propeller-induced current speeds. The rapid increase in water depth and high potential for scour makes toe- stability of the bulkhead a prime concern. The bulkhead consists of steel sheet piles, reinforced concrete cap, and an articulating concrete scour mat. The inspection was conducted to determine the present condition of the structure and provide an estimate of remaining service life as well as recommendations for rehabilitation. The condition assessment included a visual inspection of the entire structure, as well as thickness measurements of the primary steel sheets in various locations utilizing an ultrasonic thickness gauge. In addition, elevations and horizontal location of the concrete cap were recorded for future reference relative to potential displacement or settlement of the structure. Cummins Cederberg prepared an engineering report to document the investigation, including specific deficiencies, conditions rating and a cost estimate for recommended repairs.

Cummins Cederberg is providing coastal engineering and environmental consulting services for the Lake Worth Inlet Flood Shoal Dredging Project, located adjacent to the Port of Palm Beach, Peanut Island Park, and the Lake Worth Inlet. Cummins Cederberg designed the project, which consists of dredging a portion of the eastern perimeter and a center cut through the shoal to increase navigation and safety. The center cut will restore sediment deposition capacity in areas where sediment has historically deposited. As an additional benefit, it will increase access to the interior of the shoal and help reduce vessel density along the eastern and northern perimeters improving navigation and safety in the marked channels. Consulting services include bathymetric survey, current measurements, marine resource survey, engineering design and drawings, FDEP and USACE environmental permitting, coordination and participation in public stakeholder meetings, and coastal engineering analysis. The bathymetric survey and current data were used for coastal modeling and subsequent design. To better understand the highly complex dynamics of the flood shoal and evaluate effects post-dredging, a coastal analysis was performed. General coastal processes (waves and tidal hydrodynamic), sediment characteristics, sediment transport patterns, infilling time and anticipated dredge frequency, and impact to the Intracoastal Waterway west of the Lake Worth Inlet flood shoal based on cross-sectional profile and potential slope adjustments, as well as anticipated sand movement and deposition were evaluated. The bathymetric survey will also serve as a basis for the dredge design, which will be developed for reshaping of the flood shoal.

Cummins Cederberg was retained by the contractor to assist during construction with the engineering design of the position and support of the 60" outfall through the existing seawall. Due to the accelerated schedule to meet fast approaching king tides, Cummins Cederberg also provided construction engineering support during implementation of the design to ensure varying conditions encountered in the field could be addressed quickly. The existing seawall consisted of a lightly reinforced concrete retaining wall supported by timber piles. A large cut in the seawall was made to below the invert of the outfall pipe to accommodate the eschewed alignment. The large outfall pipe was then supported by several pin pile sand concrete foundations. Ultimately a new reinforced concrete collar was placed around the pipe to secure the location and retain backfill. As a result of the seawall age, limited cap elevation, number and size of existing outfalls, as well as a proposed additional outfall of large size a new seawall was proposed for the shoreline. Cummins Cederberg has since designed a new concrete seawall to meet the recently specified higher cap elevations associated with the increasing sea level rise. In addition, the seawall was designed with appropriate specifications to accommodate the new stormwater outfalls and provide a similar level service life as the new stormwater system.

(CGA) Landscape Architecture has developed an Urban Forestry Master Plan, focused on managing the City's trees into the Urban Design future.The plan establishes a clear set of priorities and objectives that aid in the management, Resiliency Design maintenance, and future planting of trees throughout the City by providing a sustainable and Arborist Services strategic framework. CGA's primary contribution to the master plan was the development of an implementable Davey Resource Group, Inc. 'Tool Kit' that advances the recommendations in the master plan to generate standards that guide the roll-out of these. The 'Tool Kit' includes specific case studies of unique conditions in the City that address the intersection of urban forestry considerations with issues such as historic preservation, sea-level rise, and community/neighborhood identities with a focus on satisfying the City's goal to have strategies in place to increase resiliency and climate adaptation. Additionally, the 'Tool Kit' establishes acceptable plant palettes and the species' most desirable use-situations, as well as constructability standards for balancing adequate root-growth zones with green infrastructure and urban streetscape build-out conditions. Finally, the 'Tool Kit' establishes a street-tree prioritization plan to guide future streetscape projects, examines and establishes a metric of measurement to define "success" in future-planned City projects across several different departments, and it establishes parameters to facilitate the cost estimating and planning for these during the budget cycles and scope processes of each project.

Many of our technical staff have gained experience performing similar assessments for public and private parcels throughout South Florida. We have three Certified Floodplain Managers who bring an in-depth, comprehensive understanding of floodplain issues as they relate to federal, state, and local regulations to manage current and future financial and natural impacts of flooding. The following summarizes a potential approach and methodology to servicing this RFQ and describes how the Cummins Cederberg team can assist the City with each area of the scope of work described. The final scope of work, sequence of tasks, and milestones for each component of the project will be coordinated with the City to meet the requirements of this RFQ. Background Data Collection & Review An understanding of the existing technical data is essential to establish a baseline for the deliverables. Cummins Cederberg will obtain publicly available data to support the site ��"�"" assessments and the recommendations therein. The data may include topographic surveys, parcel boundaries, and LiDAR data, which will be used to evaluate existing ground elevations relative to flooding from current and future sea level rise, tides, and storm surge. The data will be used to evaluate possible property constraints relative to flood mitigation strategies. The City's stormwater masterplan will be reviewed and incorporated into the site assessments by identifying areas with a greater potential for flooding. In addition to publicly available data, Cummins Cederberg will request Elevation Certificates for each parcel to analyze flooding-specific data. While Cummins Cederberg is already familiar with Chapter 54 of the City's Code of Ordinances relative to flooding, we will complete a deeper dive to understand the scope of the code. This will allow the assessment reports to present feasible solutions property owners can implement to mitigate flooding impacts. We will also conduct preliminary discussions with the City's floodplain administrator to verify the information presented in the assessment report can be used to expedite solutions Engineering Analysis r � Cummins Cederberg will perform an engineering analysis to evaluate the effects of flooding from elevated water levels due to daily high tides, seasonal high tides (i.e., king tides), sea level rise, and storm surge. Current water levels will be adopted from established local tide gauges to form the baseline for engineering analysis. Projected water levels will be evaluated relative to impacts on each parcel and potential mitigation strategies. We will review and adopt sea level rise projections provided by the City and the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact. The variability of projections over spatial and temporal ranges will be considered. Flooding from storm surge (e.g., hurricanes) along the Atlantic Ocean is also a source of potential damage. We understand the scope of this RFQ is not to perform beach erosion modeling; however, recommendations based on established public guidance and building codes will be evaluated. Elevation certificates can be compared to published storm surge Approach and Methodology DocuSign Envelope ID:02B48B2D-FA65-4847-BB33-DCDB489095B1 City of Miami Beach—RFQ No. 2021-349-KB CUMMINS I CEDERBERG Private Property Adaptation Program Assessment Consulting Coastal&Marine Engineering elevations specified in FEMA Flood Insurance Studies to provide flooding information at an individual parcel scale. To quantify risk quickly and cost-effectively, Cummins Cederberg would develop a series of flood inundation maps based on various water level scenarios. The water elevations would be analyzed relative to minimum, average, and maximum ground elevations on each parcel to produce different water depths. The individual layers could be incorporated into a GIS geodatabase to provide spatial data for analysis. Depending on the level of detail the City chooses to evaluate, the map series could include the following layers showing the flood scenario and variable condition: Daily Tide Low Tide Seasonal High Tide Kin: Tide Mean Sea Level Average King Sea Level Rise High Tide Tide IPCC Median Storm Surge Maximum King Curve Tide , 10-Year Storm NOAA Intermediate 25-Year Storm High Curve 50-Year Storm NOAA High 100-Year Storm Curve Cummins Cederberg recognizes that a detailed engineering analysis is not useful to the common property owner if the technical information is not clearly presented. To bridge this gap, we will present the risk of flooding using the nuisance flooding metric. Nuisance flooding is defined as minor inundation that does not pose significant threats to public safety or cause major property damage, but can disrupt routine day-to-day activities, put added strain on infrastructure systems such as utilities and parking areas, and cause minor property damage. By presenting the risk of flooding as a total number of days per year, property owners can understand the risk and implement mitigation strategies based on their individual property needs and financial resources. Stakeholder Involvement City assessments of private parcels typically requires managing the concerns of multiple 8� stakeholders, including private residents, commercial businesses, and non-profit organizations. Cummins Cederberg will work with the City to identify the optimal way to solicit, analyze, incorporate, and present data from a myriad of sources to deliver a comprehensive yet simple assessment report which can easily be used by the public. By coordinating early in the project timeline, we can identify specific information, which is more valuable to decision makers, home owners, and businesses to mitigate their individual risk to flooding.

Should the City prefer to solicit additional input from the public, our marketing team can also organize print media notifications and digital campaigns (e.g., social media) to notify the public of the City's new Private Property Adaptation Program. We have conducted numerous outreach events to describe and solicit input from stakeholders for coastal and marine projects. Our team has significant experience with public outreach for large condominium waterfront projects, where board meetings with more than 50 people are very common. Site Assessments rill j With an understanding of the existing elevations and the level of exposure to flooding on each parcel, Cummins Cederberg will conduct a site assessment to document site-specific conditions. Relevant information will be gathered relative to coastal engineering, environmental resources, civil engineering, and landscape architecture. A standardized methodology will be developed to optimize the data collection, analysis, and presentation. As an extension of a standard form, Cummins Cederberg _ could develop a GIS-based tool to incorporate spatial data into an online geodatabase. This would allow us to analyze Cummins Cederberg is the data more quickly and present the data in a consistent unique in South format. Utilizing online tools would allow City staff and the Florida by bringing individual parcel owner to view the data more easily. expertise in both coastal engineering Our staff includes seven engineer-divers, four of which are and structural registered Professional Engineers in Florida, with extensive engineering. experience inspecting shore protection structures and upland - building foundations.

Does the on-site landscaping include Landscaping sufficient vegetation to support water Landscape Architecture uptake during flooding? Assessing flooding on a parcel can be enhanced using aerial photographs. While publicly available aerial photographs (i.e., Google Earth) are useful, they often are outdated and low resolution. Cummins Cederberg owns and operates an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), or drone, which we routinely use to collect data (e.g., photography, elevations) along the shoreline and in other difficult to access locations for our projects. We could deploy our drone to rapidly obtain aerial photographs to support the assessment. Our technical staff includes two Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certified remote pilots for small, unmanned aircraft systems (drone pilot)who can not only efficiently operate the drone but are familiar with the legal requirements for filing a flight plan with the FAA and applying for the appropriate permits to work in the City's airspace. CoFlood Mitigation Concept Development We will identify a combination of traditional and innovative strategies which could be applied depending on the characteristics of the structures on the site and the overall property conditions. Through our extensive experience in South Florida, we have learned that just building higher seawalls may not be desirable or feasible in many areas due to the unique aesthetics, use, engineering, and environmental constraints of South Florida. Therefore, the toolbox will be filled with blue, green, and gray options, which can be implemented to mitigate flooding along both waterfront and inland properties. The floodproofing measures will include both active and passive strategies with varying levels of required human intervention or action before the onset of flooding to be effective. In addition to infrastructure tools, more simple, non-structural options will be identified including waterproofing electrical outlets, raising utility equipment, and incorporating flood damage-resistant building materials into Cummins Cederberg below BFE areas (e.g., waterproof paint, water-resistant is a proponent of flooring/wall/ceiling materials). developing a toolbox of solutions to Blue infrastructure incorporates natural water features into a site address flooding as to redirect or store water to mitigate flooding. At a parcel level, each site is unique. examples may include retention ponds or wetlands. Green infrastructure mimics nature's organic processes for dispersing rain from storms and dispersing wave energy, as well as naturally capturing and draining water which improves the resilience of a particular location or community. Examples include planting mangroves, living shorelines, bioswales, and earthen berms. Gray infrastructure use concrete and other traditional building materials to protect households and communities from flooding. Examples include seawalls, pump stations, flood walls, and stormwater pipes.

Though some low-lying shoreline areas may be part of We will incorporate the flooding problem, these areas also serve as a physical and not just initial costs emotional connection to the water. Solutions must consider these for each flood aspects, as they are important for community buy-in and maintaining mitigation strategy the City as an attractive waterfront community. but also develop an implementation Cummins Cederberg understands the City seeks to implement the strategy for the program through matching grants with property owners. While the options. City has dedicated funding for the project, many private entities are more financially limited. We can provide owners an understanding of when a strategy should be implemented, how much each strategy will cost to install, what are the maintenance requirements of each strategy, how long each strategy will last, and when each strategy is no longer effective at mitigating flooding. Assessment Reporting Cummins Cederberg will assemble all relevant information into a simple, technically sound report that can be understood and used by the common property owner. We understand . Elthe goal of the Private Property Adaptation Program is to affect change on private parcels relative to flood mitigation,which requires communicating technical information clearly and concisely. Our team will develop a report template to summarize the property's characteristics (e.g., elevations), identify vulnerable components (e.g., low appliances), and provide recommendations to reduce risk and damage (e.g., add GFI outlets). The report may include photographs, cost information, timeline, and flood depths during different events. Additional components that could be added as the pilot program progresses include relevant contact info (e.g., contractors, floodplain administrator, utilities, product vendors, design professionals), flood frequency, links to City-wide flood inundation maps for different scenarios (e.g., high tide, king tide, SLR, storm surge). An additional valuable feature Cummins Cederberg could assist this City with is developing a GIS geodatabase which could be deployed on the City website to make the reports accessible to both current and future property owners. This dynamic tool could be continuously updated and provide a central repository of program related report, background information, maps, and other relevant documents so the public can make informed decisions relative to mitigating flood damage on their individual property as well as how their decisions can improve the resiliency of the City as a whole.
