SCOPE OF SERVICES
Task 1 - Final Survey Coordination
This task will consist of re-establishing aerial targets from the 1998 survey, coordinating improvements
made within the area since the completion of the 1998 survey and coordinating the flying of the raster
aerial imagery. The coordination activities will be limited to an initial "windshield" survey by the
consultant and survey crew chief to identify significant changes in the physical environment since the
completed 1998 survey. Based on limited findings, the survey will be updated to reflect the existing
conditions.
Task 2 -Design Development
2.1 Design Development Plans
A base map of the existing conditions will be prepared, at a scale of 1" = 40' (11" x 17"), utilizing the
Raster aerial imagery, being obtained within Task 1, and field survey data obtained during the data
collection phase. Within this Task we will apply the typical cross sections as approved within the Master
Plan to each corresponding perimeter roadway in plan view. The components of the streetscape will be
shown to clearly demonstrate the character of the streetscape and will include:
2.1.1 Layout of travel lanes and curbing options
2.1.2 Layout and material selection for sidewalk
2.1.3 Preliminary size and selection of planting material
2.1.4 Layout and selection for irrigation system
2.1.5 Layout and selection of pedestrian lighting system
After the base mapping is prepared, a field walk through will conducted to verify existing conditions with
the City and representatives from the Homeowner's Association. Design considerations listed above will
be addressed and reviewed to reaffirm community and city consensus prior to the final preparation of the
design development plan set.
During the design development task, we will recommend a fmal pedestrian lighting system based on City
and community input. During this task, the street lighting illumination level(s) will be established based
on the City's standards for this area. The Consultant will provide a layout oflighting based on the
recommended illumination levels and standard City of Miami Beach pedestrian pole and luminaire.
The final system will identify pole and luminaire manufacturer, lamp type and wattage and mounting
height. Final determination on illumination level(s) will be critical to the overall streetscape theme, as the
required spacing of light poles will drive other beautification elements.
2.2 Meetings
The consultant shall attend two (2) coordination meetings to discuss other factors that may determine how
the construction document set is prepared, such as phasing and location of areas to accommodate pump
stations. Within these meetings, the City will coordinate with all relevant City departments and other
personnel for their attendance to discuss the planned improvements. Direction will be given to the
consultant prior to proceeding into construction documentation.

2.3 Opinion of Probable Cost
A revised Opinion of Probable Cost will be provided at the completion of this task.
Task 3 - Construction Documentation
3.1 50% Constrnction Documents
We will develop a 50% plan set based upon the approved plans developed during the design development
process. This 50% plan set will show the geometric layout over top the Raster aerial imagery. The basis
for the construction document set will be the approved updated Master Plan and design development from
Task 2, Miami-Dade County Design Standards and FDOT's design standards as found in The Roadwav
and Traffic Desilffi Standards dated 1994.
5 copies of the 50% plans will be submitted to the City for distribution to the appropriate departments for
their review. After sufficient review time, a meeting will be scheduled with City of Miami Beach staff to
review the 50% plan set. The purpose of the meeting will be to review the 50% plan set comments,
discuss revisions and design decisions, solicit additional comments from City staff and Venetian Islands
Homeowners Association representatives, concluding the meeting with an approved Plan.
Two copies of the approved 50% plan set will be forwarded to each utility company known to operate in
the vicinity of the project. Each utility company will be requested to return one set of redlined plans,
identifying the horizontal and vertical location of their facilities, to the engineer. The engineer will log in
each set of plans when returned by the utility companies. This information will be added to the plans. We
will attend up to two meetings with City staff and the utility companies to review the project and potential
impacts to the utility owners.
In general, the set of 50% plans may contain the following information:
3.1.1 Cover Sheet
A cover sheet utilizing the standard City of Miami Beach cover sheet will be provided.
3.1.2 Typical Roadway Sections
Typical sections will be prepared, detailing the proposed work for mainline and cross street
construction. It is anticipated that five typical sections will be required, one typical describing
construction on the island perimeter roads, one typical for the intersecting cross-streets, and three
typical sections for the roadways on Belle Island. The Consultant will retain a geotechnical-
engineering firm. The geotechnical sub-consultant will obtain exiting soil percolation rates,
pavement cores; evaluate the existing pavement and subgrade conditions; and prepare a report
summarizing their findings as well as providing a pavement design recommendation.
3.1.3 Horizontal and Geometric Roadway Improvements
Horizontal alignments and geometric improvements will be detailed on the Raster aerial plan
sheets.
3.1.4 Roadway Vertical Profile Grades
Proposed mainline and cross street vertical profile grades will be developed.

3.1.7 Drainage Improvements
3.1.7.1 We will attend up to five (5) coordination meetings with various team members and the
City during the course of the design and permitting process. The meetings will consist of
a project kick-off meeting, a meeting to review the conceptual stormwater design, a
meeting to review the stormwater permit package prior to submittal to the Miami-Dade
County - Department of Environmenta] Resources Management (DERM), a meeting
with the City to review the Fina] Design Package, and one discretionary meeting to be
conducted with either staff or neighborhood association members.
3.1.7.2 A hydraulic analysis will be conducted on the project area. During the analysis, the
volume of stormwater runoff will be calculated from the design storm, the capacity of the
existing stormwater collection system will be evaluated, and the pollutant loading from
the initial runoff of stormwater will be calculated. Following the calculation of excess
stormwater volume and pollutant loading, an analysis of pollutant reduction techniques
will be conducted to establish a combination of methods to provide water quality
treatment goals. Various methods including on-site disposal, oil-water separators,
sedimentation sumps, and street maintenance activities will be evaluated to provide water
quality treatment goals within the project area. Methods previously developed for the
City and DERM will be used to predict stormwater pollutant loads and treatment
capability .
3.].7.3 Following the hydraulic analyses, the Consultant will prepare a conceptual design for
improvements to the stormwater collection and disposal systems within the project area.
The conceptual design will include locations and capacities of catch basins and ]ocalized
disposal systems (e.g., French drains and drainage wells), and a listing of details to
include into drainage features.
3.1.8 Pump Station Improvements
This sub-task includes the engineering services relative to the design of up to five pump stations
and corresponding injection wells for the treatment of stormwater. The simplex pump stations
will receive stormwater from the collection system, and discharge that water into a series of
injection wells. The stormwater will be injected to a well depth determined by the aquifer water
quality, and allowed to percolate through that aquifer for water treatment. The stormwater
collection system and pump stations will be designed to inject a percentage of stormwater into the
ground and bypass flows that exceed that rate will be discharged to the bay. The stormwater
system will also be subject to tidal waters, and all factory materials, coatings and fie]d-applied
coatings shall be listed for salt-water exposure applications.
