• Earthwork in Environmentally Sensitive Areas
METRO has extensive local experience in the area of water and sewer design build projects. The experience of
this team bring the right elements to make this a very successful project.
Project Understanding
The project is located along two alleyways behind the retail and commercial buildings located along the east
and west sides of NE 2nd Avenue within the Central Business District (Downtown) of Miami Shores Village. The
alleyways are approximately 15’ in width and run from NE 94th Street to NE 101st Street. The project calls for
the design, permitting and construction of a LPSS to collect effluent from the existing businesses in the Central
Business District (CBD), while installing low pressure sewer main sized to allow for potential growth opportunities
for new businesses to be located within both said alleyways. The project also calls for the design permitting and
construction of a 12” water main along those alleyways to improve fire protection and accommodate future
redevelopment within the CBD.
The project includes the design, permitting and construction of a Regional Pump Station to collect the effluent
from the businesses from the CBD at the Village owned parking lot just west of NE 2nd Avenue along NE 97th
Street. Lastly, the project also includes the design, permitting and construction of an 8” force main to transmit
effluent from the regional pump station constructed to an existing Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department
(MDWASD) force main. This main shall run along NE 97th Street between NE 2nd Avenue and NW 3rd Avenue.
Team Experience
METRO brings years of proven experience with such projects. METRO has installed over 132,000 LF of force
main of 8” in diameter or larger in South Florida. METRO has successfully installed over 235,000 LF of water
main of 12” or larger in South Florida. METRO was one of the first contractors to work on low pressure sewer
projects with the Duck Key Utility Improvement Project in the Florida Keys, and has since constructed several
successful projects throughout South Florida.
Likewise to METRO, the design team brings a multitude of water and sewer experience. Chen Moore and
Associates (CMA) shall serve as our lead design consultant. CMA is a multi-discipline consulting firm with offices
in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, Orange and Alachua Counties. Founded in 1986, Chen Moore and
Associates specializes in civil and environmental engineering, landscape architecture, planning, GIS analysis and
mapping, and construction engineering inspection. We are a Florida state and locally certified small business
enterprise firm. CMA has prided itself as an expert in water and sewer neighborhood improvement projects
throughout South Florida, having design and completed over 50 miles of pressure pipe (water main and force
main) in South Florida. CMA also has excellent experience with low pressure sewer proejcts, currently working
on the Cudjoe Key Sewer Improvement Project in the Florida Keys and on the East Bird Road Force Main
Improvement project for MDWASD. Working alongside CMA is Stantec’s Miami Office. Stantec is an international
consulting and engineering firm of over 13,000 professionals. CMA and Stantec are currently working together
as one of the Pump Station Improvement Plan continuing service agreements with MDWASD as part of the
overall sewer redevelopment throughout Miami-Dade County. CMA and Stantec have each designed over fifty
(50) pump stations each in their local offices throughout South Florida.

Criteria 2B - DESIGN AND PERMITTING APPROACH W/PLANS DRAWINGS
The Metro Team fully understands the requirements and needs to design, permit and construct the water and
sewer improvement projects in Miami-Dade County and throughout South Florida. Our team shall utilize the
resources and experience of Chen Moore and Associates (CMA) to guide the design and permitting process.
Team Organization
CMA is familiar with all aspects of the process for the implementing of conceptual engineering plans to detailed
engineering design through the permitting and construction process. Jose L. Acosta, P.E. of CMA shall serve
as the Design Team lead. He will be responsible for the overall design process and permitting. He will work
with the additional team members on the design and construction side to maximize efficiency and quality, while
addressing constructability and scheduling issues with the Metro Overall Project Manager.
Also assisting will be key experienced design professionals that will assist with various aspects of utility design,
water main and sewer modeling, lift station design and permitting. Our team commits these professionals for the
duration of the project.
To bring additional value to Miami Shores Village, the Metro team also has the following consultants: Stantec
(Pump Station Design); Longitude Surveying (Land Surveying); Professional Service Industries, Inc, (Geotechnical
Testing); and EDA (Electrical Engineering).
Scope of Design Work
The Metro/CMA team shall design and permit the scope previously noted including the following: a new 12” water
main system including service conversions and LPSS on the east and west alleyways of the Downtown corridor
for approximately twenty-six (26) individual services; a Regional Sanitary Pump Station along with an 8” FM
to connect to an existing MDWASD force main located on NW 3rd Avenue. Locations for future grinder pump
stations and electrical service concepts shall be prepared to facilitate and encourage businesses to connect in the
near future.

Design Approach
1) Preliminary Engineering Plan
The Metro team studied at the Design Criteria package. The team feels comfortable with the design intent of the
project.
• Sanitary Force Main – The design of approximately 3,112 LF of 8” DIP force main along the south side of
NE 97th Avenue. This utility work shall require pavement restoration and coordination with the various
residential homes impacted by the construction. Based on available MDWASD as-builts, the connection
point to the existing 12” MDWASD force main is just east of the intersection of NE 97th Avenue and NW
3rd Avenue. The force main ends at the proposed Regional Pump Station.

• Sanitary Pump Station
The Metro Team is comfortable with the layout of the Regional Pump Station. The design criteria calls for a
pump station capacity equivalent to take a future average daily flow of just over 161,000 gpd. The current use is
estimated at 33,793 gpd for existing tenants in the Central Business District. The new projected uses assumes a
significant shift from small retail and office uses to a number of medium to large restaurants.
After our design team reviewed the calculations and expectations as noted on the submittal, we were comfortable
with the site plan layout for the pump station as well as the calculations, curve data, and selection.

• Water Main Improvements
The proposed water main improvements consists of a proposed 12” DIP water main along the east and west
alleyway corridors. The design includes gate valves and fire protection considerations. The calls for the removal
of the existing smaller water main located in each of the two corridors, while maintain service connections for
each business. The only additional design and construction measures that the Metro team is proposing is to
install a temporary water main on the western alleyway between the east right-of-way line and the eastern most
existing duct bank.

• Low Pressure Sanitary Sewer (Including Grinder Stations)
The Low Pressure Sanitary Sewer system proposes a combination of 3” and 4” HDPE force main to run from
twenty-six (26) proposed lateral services with pre-packaged grinder pump stations to the proposed Regional
Sewer Pump Station. The design shall meet the intent of the preliminary sizing and shall meet the recently
released MDWASD specification for Low Pressure Sanitary Sewer. Locating the grinder pump stations shall
be done carefully to avoid other utilities, existing septic systems, and potential locations for grease traps for
properties earmarked for conversion into restaurant facilities. Grinder pump stations shall be proposed within 10’
x 10’ easements to be coordinated by Miami Shores Village.

3) Utility Coordination
The design team has collected existing records to confirm the design ticket and utility coordination efforts
completed by the Design Build Criteria team for water, sewer, storm water, electrical, gas, cable, and telephone
facilities within the project area. We understand that there may be some inconsistencies as some of the
documentation is dated, specific to the locations and quantities of several of these utilities. We plan to use our
surveying team member to strategically choose locations for soft digs to add to our available data and assist in
resolving potential utility conflicts proactively and ahead of construction. Specific to the alleyways, the existing
conditions of the existing smaller water mains and the actual locations of the existing conduits and duct banks
bring a significant challenge to balance careful construction measures and potential changes in construction
strategies. Therefore, precautionary measures such as the ones suggested will assist in a better design and
minimize the risk of surprises after our crews have mobilized for construction.
4) Planned supplementary geotechnical investigations and/or environmental studies to support design
• Geotechnical Investigations – The Design Team is aware of potential unique subsurface and
geotechnical conditions. PSI shall provide their expertise by conducting geotechnical testing as
necessary throughout the project and confirming the width of asphalt for pavement restoration areas.
We expect to have several soil borings, specifically in the alleyways that shall extend ten feet below
existing grade.
• Surveying - Longitude Surveyors shall serve as the surveyor for the project. The firm has significant
relevant experience delivering survey documents to Miami-Dade WASD and have a working relationship
with Chen Moore and Stantec. The survey will be the baseline for the design of the project. The
Design Team will use the survey base sheets to produce plan and profile sheets for the utility design
as required by MDWASD. The topographic survey will include elevations not more than 100 feet apart
along the proposed centerline of the pipe, or along a stationed offset line. Longitude will also prepare
layout and asbuilt services during construction, hence maintaining consistency in reference to survey
control of the site.
5A) Required Design and Construction Permits
Design submittals will most likely be at an expedited pace for this project. Rather than define a 30%, 60%, 90%
design submittal schedule, the Metro team intends to prepare preliminary engineering plans and meet with the
Village project manager on a weekly basis to receive comments and feedback to insure early submittals to the
various government agencies requiring review. Those agencies and contacts are as follows:
Upon Completion of the Preliminary Engineering Plans, the Design Team shall commence the MDWASD Dry Run
submittal process and submit plans to Miami Shores Village. At the same time, a constructability review shall
commence by both Metro Equipment and CMA. The plans will continue to be developed to Construction Level
plans to commence the permitting process. Those agencies and contacts are as follows in the Permit Matrix:

5B) Approach to Meet Project Schedule
The key to meeting the design and permitting project schedule is constant relative communication between the
design and construction teams. Weekly meetings with documented targets and follow-up will keep the project
moving and allow for the appropriate resources to be available. Peer review and constructability review during
preliminary design is very important. Pre-submittal meetings with the various permitting agencies and regular
communication with their representatives throughout the submittal and review process is also critical to meeting
the project schedule successfully.
Please refer to the overall schedule section for detailed design and permitting schedule breakdown.
CRITERIA 3B - CONSTRUCTION EXECUTION APPROACH
The Metro Team’s approach to execute installation of Water Main, Force Main, Low Pressure Sewer System and
Regional Sewage Pump Stations takes advantage of the twenty-seven (27) plus years of experience working
in South Florida’s residential neighborhoods and commercial districts, installing water and sewer facilities for
public utilities. Utilizing this experience, and as described in our Design and Permitting Approach section, the
Metro Team has chosen to divide the work area into four separate major work areas to minimize the potential
for disruption to the residents and businesses in the project area. This construction phasing approach will allow
for a well-planned, orderly and organized construction flow with limited impact to localized areas of the overall
neighborhood and commercial district. The boundaries of the four work areas of the project are as follows:
• Area I -Western Alleyway: North by NE 101st
Street, South by NE 94th Street, East by NE
2nd Avenue and West by NE 1st Avenue.
• Area II - Eastern Alleyway: North by NE 101st
Street, South by NE 94th Street, East by NE 3rd
Avenue and West by NE 2nd Avenue.
• Area III - NE 97th Street: East by NE 2nd
Avenue and West by NW 3rd Avenue.
• Area IV - Regional Pump Station: Parking Lot
located in the NW corner of NE 97th Street and
NE 2nd Avenue.
General sequence of construction shall be as
follows:
1. Area I – Western Alley
2. Area II – Eastern Alley
3. Area III – Force Main along NW 97th Street
4. Area II and Area III – Will continue
concurrently
This specific sequence has been chosen to mitigate
the construction inconvenience to the residents
and businesses for prolonged periods of time. Area
IV would begin independent of Areas I, II and III as
it does not directly affect the local residents and
businesses.

a. Demonstrate how the construction methodology will address the confined spaces encountered on the
project site.
Restricted work space and the congested layout of the existing utilities are the two potential significant
constructability issues we have identified with this project. The Metro Team has taken great time and care in
producing an approach that takes these constraints into consideration to greatly minimize the negative impacts
created by these constraints to the residents and businesses. Our approach combines the use of specialized
excavation equipment and trenchless technologies to complete the installation with minimal impact to the
community and to the project schedule.
One of the special project approach items to be implemented is to install a temporary water main on the east
side of the West Corridor prior to the installation of the new 12” water main and the LPSS Force Main. Since
the existing 3” and 4” water main is extremely close to the proposed 12” water main, the Metro Team flagged
this as a potential area for inconvenience to day to day business within the Downtown area during construction
and, therefore, we elected to propose to install a temporary water main to guarantee that the businesses could
continue their daily operations without any potable water service interruptions, as well as, to avoid any potential
safety issues that could arise as a result of excavating in very close proximity to an existing active aging water
main in poor condition.
b. Describe the approach to project sequencing and phasing to maintain water service to the corridor during
construction.
The specific utility corridor construction operations will generally consist of the following sequence and phasing:
Area I – Western Alleyway
• Survey and layout of the proposed Water Main (WM) and Low Pressure Sewer Force Main (LPS FM)
within the public right-of-way.
• Exploratory excavation and verifications of existing utilities.
• Installation of the Temporary Water main line and pertinent appurtenances, including new water services
up to the existing water meter. Flushing, Pressure testing and bacteriological testing will immediately
follow the Temporary WM installation. Upon obtaining the pertinent clearance from the Health
Department, the existing water services will be connected to the new temporary water main.
• Following the successful transfer of the existing water services, the installation of the permanent WM
line and the proposed LPS FM will commence. The proposed WM and the proposed LPS FM will be
installed concurrently (including all appurtenances and lateral assemblies up to the proposed grinder
pump stations pertinent appurtenances and new water services up to the existing water meter).
Removal of the existing 3”/4” WM will also occur concurrently during this activity.
• All the open trenches will be excavated, backfilled and compacted following the requirements of the
specifications, immediately following the installation of the utilities.
• Flushing, Pressure testing, and bacteriological testing will immediately follow the new WM installation.
• Flushing and Pressure testing will immediately follow the LPS FM installation. Upon successful
completion of the LPS FM testing, the LPSS Grinder Pump Stations will be installed.
• Once all the mains, the service lines and the grinder pump stations are installed and after the
consolidation period full alleyway reconstruction will begin to the original grade lines. The Team is
aware that timely restoration is important to the Village, residents and businesses. The Metro Team will
commit the resources to ensure restoration is done within a reasonable time frame after construction is
complete.
• Upon successful receipt of the Department of Health clearance and other required regulatory Agency
approvals for the new Water Main, the final connections to the existing MD-WASD system will be
completed followed by the transfer of the existing water services from the temporary WM to the new
12” DIP WM.

c. Demonstrate the approach to commissioning the LPSS system and providing services to the existing
properties.
Taking into consideration the sequence and phasing described above in item B, the following sequence and
phasing applies to the LPSS system:
• After completion of the major construction activities in the Western and Eastern Alleyway utility
corridors, the installation of the proposed 4” HDPE LPS FM interconnecting the Western & Eastern utility
corridors and extending to the proposed Regional Sewage Pump Station site will follow. Pressure testing
of this interconnecting LPS FM segment will immediately follow installation.
• The construction sequence with continue with the installation of the proposed 8” DIP Force Main from
the proposed Regional Sewage Pump Station site to NW 3rd Av. Pressure testing will immediately follow
installation.
• The construction of the Regional Sewage Pump Station (RSPS) will commence once all the long lead
materials and equipment are procured and delivered to the jobsite. The commencement of RSPS will
be also closely coordinated with the Village and MDWASD to avoid any unnecessary and prolonged
construction time impact to the affected businesses.
• At that time, substantial completion inspections will be requested to the Village and any other required
regulatory Agencies involved. Punch list work as required will be conducted in timely fashion.
• The Metro Team will coordinate with Miami Shores Village regarding the needs of each resident and
business directly affected proactively to minimize impact of construction activities.
• The Metro Team will coordinate with the Miami Shores Village project manager regarding the acquisition
of easements conducted with by the Village. The Metro Team will assist with required certifications
and testing documentation required for the grinder pump design and potential connections for existing
businesses.
• The Metro Team shall work with the Village in the site planning required in the placement of said grinder
pump stations within the 10’ by 10’ easement. Such work will be critical for potential future restaurants
that may require a grease trap to be located within the said easement.

d. Demonstrate the approach to utility coordination.
The Metro team approach to utility coordination is to work with the design team in its efforts early in the design
process to reap the benefits of the early research to proactively work through potential conflicts. As noted in a
prior section, the design team has collected existing records to confirm the design ticket and utility coordination
efforts completed by the Design Build Criteria team for water, sewer, storm water, electrical, gas, cable, and
telephone facilities within the project area. We understand that there may be some inconsistencies as some of
the documentation is dated, specific to the locations and quantities of several of these utilities. We plan to use
our surveying team member to strategically choose locations for soft digs to add to our available data and assist
in resolving potential utility conflicts proactively and ahead of construction. Specific to the alleyways, the existing
conditions of the existing smaller water mains and the actual locations of the existing conduits and duct banks
bring a significant challenge to balance careful construction measures and potential changes in construction
strategies. Therefore, precautionary measures such as the ones suggested will assist in a better design and
minimize the risk of surprises after our crews have mobilized for construction.
e. Demonstrate the approach to the utility conveyance process with MD-WASD.
The conveyance process with MDWASD for the 8” Force Main, 12” Water Main and the Regional Sewer Pump
Station will follow typical protocol. The Engineering Consultant will attend various site visits to witness various
testing to confirm the quality of the construction work. As-builts will be prepared by the team’s surveyor to
MDWASD specifications and
submitted for closeout.
The Low Pressure Sewer System
will follow a similar process. The
challenge will come regarding the
timing of any of the businesses
wanting to connect. CMA is
currently working on a couple similar
projects, where MDWASD is trying
to work with business owners on
shared costs. It will be important
to follow protocol in the closeout
process, while assisting all parties
and constituents regarding what is
the responsibility of the utility, the
municipality, and other constituents.
f. Based on the proposed work area, provide a Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plan for control and detouring
of traffic and business operations during construction.
As part of our analysis to determine the preferred setup to maintain traffic during construction, we have
discussed several alternatives and have developed concepts that will minimize impact to traffic, maintain access
to residences, businesses, and emergency vehicles in the project area, while keeping overall safety as our top
priority. When the work zone encroaches near a sidewalk, the highest level of pedestrian safety will be ensured
by using the pedestrian detour method represented in FDOT Standard Index 660 - Pedestrian Control for Closure
of Sidewalks.
We understand that due to the large amount of work taking place near the project location, the residents and
business owners are especially sensitive to traffic backup, noise levels, and the ability of the contractor to provide
a safe work zone. We are committed to providing a traffic control setup that will be to the satisfaction of all
involved stakeholders.

Emergency, resident, and business access will be the most critical elements of the construction within the
project area streets. Notification and coordination will help ensure residents/proprietors can access their houses/
businesses. Due to extremely limited work space area, crew construction constraints and potential safety issues,
work zones in the western and eastern alleyways will need to be closed, no traffic of any kind will be allowed
unless it is an emergency. Heavy communication efforts will be required to accomplish this emergency services
and community services such a solid waste will be notified of construction areas on a daily basis.
Our MOT will adhere to FDOT Design Standards and Specifications. All trenches and drop-offs will be adequately
protected, and all storm water will be immediately removed from the site to ensure that traffic is maintained in a
safe manner.
The MOTs will minimize congestion in the area by providing frequent closure and detour updates,
accommodating transit needs, and any other requirements that may be imposed by regulatory agencies. The
MOTs will incorporate the following requirements:
• Access to all properties for emergency vehicles and solid waste services will be maintained.
• Clear driveway access to all properties will be maintained at NE 97th Street during the construction of
the proposed 8” DIP Force Main.
• The Miami-Dade Traffic Division will be notified 24 hrs. in advance of the construction within any
signalized intersection.
• Portable Changeable Message Signs (PCMS) indicating the date when road work will begin will be placed
as required by the corresponding jurisdictional agency at least one week prior to construction.
We also coordinate closely with Miami Shores Village regarding the needs, operations and special events in
connection with the parking facilities at the proposed future Regional Sewage Pump Station site.

g. Provide a detailed layout of the work zones, stating areas for material and equipment.
The Metro team has analyzed the appropriate locations for work zone and staging areas for this project. The
following two graphics show the tentative locations our team proposes. We understand that the final locations
for these staging areas will be coordinated directly with Miami Shores Village representatives to insure the best
location for staging, while minimizing potential impacts with the various stake holders in the project.

CRITERIA 4B - ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT APPROACH
a. Approach to minimize community impacts from night temporary illumination, construction noise, dust,
and vibration.
The Metro Team understands the impact a construction project can have on a community. We recognize the overall
success of the project is heavily influenced by public opinion and those directly affected by the construction. It is
critical we minimize the impact to daily routines. Below is a list of concerns and how the impact will be minimized.
Construction Noise: All construction equipment will contain exhaust mufflers to keep noise levels within acceptable
ranges. These mufflers will be inspected during the daily equipment inspections and replaced immediately if not
performing as intended. Dewatering pumps, if required, which typically run 24 hours per day, will be equipped
with sound attenuators to minimize noise levels during both daytime and nighttime hours.
Construction Dust: The main activities contributing to construction dust will be the excavation for water main
construction and the hauling of excess materials to and from temporary laydown areas. Construction dust will
be minimized by implementing a routine sweeping activity to minimize the amount of dust capable of being
transported offsite and affecting others. In addition, water trucks will be used to mitigate the migration of dust at
or around the work areas. Stockpiles of excavated spoils will be watered as necessary to eliminate the migration
of spoils. The Metro Team will implement all the applicable Best Management Practices in accordance with the
most current Florida Storm water, Erosion and Sedimentation Control guidelines established by FDEP.

a
Vibration: The soil compaction activities required for restoration of the affected roadways will be the main activity
capable of producing vibration levels that could affect adjacent structures. However we do not anticipate the
vibration levels to be of significance.
Night Temporary Illumination: While our construction approach is based on daytime work hours, we may be
required to perform some work activities at night. These activities include MOT placements and lane shifts as well
as work activities that may require temporary lane closures. Commercial areas of the project route will experience
minimal impact from the night work due to non-business hours.
Residential areas will be of more concern due to the timing of the work. Illumination of stationary work areas
during nighttime hours will be accomplished using light plants. The lighting will be positioned at lower elevations
and focused on the specific work zone to minimize the illumination of outside areas. Equipment lighting will be
used where practical to eliminate excessive lighting. Existing street lighting will also support the illumination
effort and help minimize the need for additional lighting at certain locations.
Restoration: All excavations will require material testing to ensure that the work site is restored to equivalent
or better conditions. The restoration will begin once water main operations have concluded. Suitable backfill
material will be used. It is anticipated that this material will be the same material that is excavated during the
construction of the pipe. However, if the native material is deemed to be unsuitable by the soil testing results, we
will provide backfill material from an offsite source.
When backfilling operations are occurring, proper compaction will be ensured by density tests. Density tests will
meet the Village standards as applicable.
Pavement replacement will be done in accordance with the appropriate governmental agency having jurisdiction
over the affected roadway. Miami Shores Village’s roadways require a 1” thickness of pavement for repairs
utilizing Type S-III as per the Design Criteria requirements, as noted on Addendum 2.
Any and all affected areas will be fully restored. This includes sidewalks, driveways or sodding. In cases where
sidewalk or curb and gutter are affected, restoration will be completed in full segments (i.e. approximately 5’ for
sidewalk and 10’ for curb and gutter). The primary focus of all restoration is to provide a high quality final product
to the agency with jurisdiction over the right-of-way and, more importantly, to the public. All restoration efforts
will be completed consciously and ensure that the final product is in equivalent or better condition to the existing
condition.
b. Correcting any resultant settlement and/or damage to any existing structures that are a consequence of
the Proposer’s construction activities
If surface settlement is detected, ongoing related construction operations will be halted and required notifications
made. If damage is caused by settlement due to a specific construction methodology, a repair plan will be
submitted based on the damage observed on a case-by-case basis.
c. Mitigation and/or disposal of contamination soil (if required)
The Metro Team will perform an environmental site assessment of the project area prior to beginning construction.
Using available environmental files from local, state and federal regulatory agencies, the investigation and
assessment will help identify any potential contaminated sites within or surrounding the project area that
may affect the construction operations. If areas of concern are identified, a secondary site assessment will be
conducted. This will entail the collection of soil and groundwater samples from the areas of concern. Samples will
be analyzed by a certified laboratory and those results will determine the most appropriate method to handle
and dispose of any contaminated soils. Additional oversight will be provided during construction in the event
suspect soils are discovered. Soil samples will be taken for lab analysis and classification of the soils for reuse and/
or disposal.

CRITERIA 5B - SAFETY AND HEALTH APPROACH
The Metro Team considers health and safety a major consideration on each and every project. The Metro
team’s goal and purpose is to maintain sage work conditions for all parties involved including our employees,
subcontractors, and the public. Our proposed measures for this project are noted below.
a. Measures to train and orient workers, monitor performance, maintain a safe workplace, and prevent
unsafe conditions
Based on the safety information provided in our Step 1 submission, it should be readily apparent the dedication
to safety our Design-Build Team possesses. We are committed to ensuring that all personnel have the tools they
need to perform their jobs in a safe manner and the training to recognize the various hazards that they may
encounter.
In the pre-planning phase, a Site Safety Committee will be established. This committee will be made up of project
staff, safety advisors and key subcontractors. Representatives of MDWASD are welcome to participate to the
extent they are comfortable. The Site Safety Committee will be tasked with the development of a site-specific
safety plan which will establish the safety expectations, identify at-risk activities, and establish the procedures for
those at-risk activities for the project. Once complete, the site specific safety plan will be used as a management
tool to train the project personnel, not as a policing tool.
At the beginning of the construction phase, the Site Safety Committee will conduct a Pre-Job Safety Conference
involving all key members of the Management Team. We will also engage subcontractors through our
Subcontractor Outreach Program. This will be the final check to ensure that all members are informed of the
hazards identified during the pre-planning phase and how those hazards are to be managed.
Once construction has begun, we will complete both daily Safety Toolbox Talk Meetings (STTM) and weekly
safety meetings. The purpose behind the daily meetings is to break down tasks, identify and analyze hazards,
and mitigate given hazards associated with the work to be performed that day. The weekly safety meetings will
discuss broader, more general topics and are led by the Management Team. Any near misses are discussed at
this meeting and new hires are trained for the week’s events. Records of these meetings are kept by the Project
Superintendent.
It is our philosophy that by having a constant approach to safety from project conception through close-out, we
manage the results that we expect versus witnessing the results that occur when there is no plan in place. We
believe our results confirm this philosophy.
b. Measures to secure the work areas to prevent unauthorized entry and activities.
Given the urban setting of this project, it will be imperative to maintain a safe work environment for the personnel
working on the project as well as the general public that will be affected by our construction activities. Our
Design-Build Team has spent a significant amount of time reviewing and developing initial reviewed the project
conditions and have included typical Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plans for each location where both vehicular
and pedestrian traffic will be impacted.
Understanding that work like this can be an attractive nuisance, all work areas that require excavations to remain
open overnight will be secured using chain link fencing and will be clearly delineated with signage. Should the
need for any night work arise, temporary lighting will be provided at the site.
As a final step, once the MOT plans have been approved by all governing agencies, all emergency services will be
contacted and the plans will be reviewed with them. We will closely coordinate with emergency services as we
progress through the project and move from site to site.

c. Describe measures to address emergencies that may develop on the project.
The two largest at-risk safety items inherent with the scope of this project are excavation and shoring. Neither
item is an issue that can’t be dealt with internally in the case of an emergency. As such, prior to beginning any
construction activities and as a part of developing our site specific safety plan, we will meet with the emergency
services in the area to understand the location of the closest emergency services and the location of the closest
fire department containing a high angle/technical rescue team. We will review the scope of this project to ensure
they understand all aspects including, but not limited to, MOT, ingress/egress points excavation areas and working
hours.
To ensure that all personnel involved in the project understand the risks and protocols associate with the confined
space requirements, all personnel will be certified in confined space. For those who already carry that certification,
a refresher course will be held.
d. Avoiding spills of any contaminants brought onto the project to perform work.
Based on the scope of this project, we see a limited amount of contaminants being brought on to the site. The
primary contaminant we foresee being used for this project is off-road diesel. Dual wall tanks will be used for
storing bulk fuel at our yard. If a subcontractor is brought on site that does not have dual wall tanks, we will
require them to build a containment system that is 110% of the storage volume of the tank. For any equipment
left operating on site while unattended, such as dewatering pumps and generators, a containment system will be
built that is 110% of the volume of the fuel capacity of the equipment.
e. Provide a comprehensive Risk Register listing the main safety and health risks you perceive on the project,
and your plan to avoid or mitigate any negative impacts.
Below is our initial Risk Register for the project, which will be continuously updated as design and construction
progresses.

CRITERIA 6B - OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE CONSIDERATIONS
a. Indicate how the Miami Shores Village and the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (for conveyed
system components) will be able to access the system to meet Operations & Maintenance (O&M) requirements,
including normal maintenance activities such as cleaning and removing sediment, debris, etc., and performing
inspections safely and efficiently.
The Metro Team will follow Miami Dade WASD standards related to startup notifications and we will provide
system descriptions, draft operating instructions, pump performance data, and other material required for
startup, operations and maintenance. We will provide all required operations and maintenance (O&M) manuals
and will be responsible for training Miami Shores Village and Miami-Dade WASD staff on each piece of equipment.
The Metro Team shall prepare systems descriptions, operating procedures and startup procedures in Accordance,
as necessary, with written procedures so qualified professionals control the format of the documents, QC
reviews and approvals. Specific tasks including equipment calibration, performance characteristic evaluations,
performance tests, and similar activities will be performed by the operations staff.

design, permitting and construction activities, indicating any site investigations, key design activities, permitting
activities, key construction activities, and testing and acceptance activities. Indicate interim dates for key design
submittals, obtaining permits, start and completion of major construction activities, testing activities, and
project completion dates that meet or improve the required Contract substantial and final completion dates.
For the purpose of showing our team’s understanding of the project, a comprehensive project schedule with
detailed design, permitting and construction activities has been compiled, from NTP through project completion.
Please refer to the attached CPM project schedule at the end of this section. The schedule meets and improves

b) A proposed mobilization & engineering schedule, detailing the specific mobilization, engineering, design,
and permitting activities to be conducted in the first 120 days after the Notice to Proceed.
Upon receipt of the Notice to Proceed, the design team will mobilize on three areas: Confirmation of Utility
Coordination, the Route Survey work, and the Preliminary Design. In an effort to expedite construction start and
ensure mobilization within six (6) months of NTP, a few areas will be prioritized: a) We will push for expedited
reviews from MDWASD and other agencies, the MOT Team will submit the latest 60% design plans to the Village
and any approval jurisdictional agency for ROW approval, and will shall conduct presubmittal meetings along with
the MDWASD Dry Run process with every agency involved.
This schedule ensures acquisition of permits relevant to the WM & LPSS FM system construction within the public
ROW to be approved and in hand in time to facilitate mobilization to the site.
Other longer lead permits, such as MDWASD approvals for both water and sewer (low pressure force main, 8”
force main, and regional pump station) permits, will be acquired just before main line construction commences.
Refer to the CPM schedule attached at the end of this section for a visual representation of the activities mentioned
above that will be conducted within the first 120 days after NTP.
c) A proposed initial Baseline Project Schedule which demonstrates how the Design-Builder Proposer will meet
the overall substantial and final completion dates
Our team’s project schedule approach is focused on delivering the project on schedule and reducing impact
to the community. We have developed a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) consisting of design, permitting
and construction sequences that will expedite design and permitting coordination, submittal and approvals to
ensure the Substantial and Contract completion dates are achieved. Major procurement items, such as pumps,
generator, etc. will be expedited through design early to ensure they do not impact critical path activities. The
critical path of the project consists of concurrent design and permitting activities as noted above, which lead to
the commencement of the work in the western utility corridor. The schedule achieves all of the project milestone
dates within the required timeframes and estimates a completion date over two months early.
The Key Deliverables or Contract Milestones are as follows:
December 1, 2014 Notice to Proceed
1. February 2, 2015 100% Design - Issue for Construction
2. May 29, 2015 Mobilization for Construction
