EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the selection committee’s ranking for Request for Professional
Services (“RPS”) No. 20-7680, “Pelican Bay Sidewalk Improvements Design,” and authorize staff to
begin contract negotiations with the top-ranked firm, Agnoli, Barber, & Brundage, Inc., so that
staff can bring a proposed agreement back for the Board’s consideration at a subsequent meeting.
OBJECTIVE: To engage the services of Agnoli Barber, & Brundage, Inc. to develop design plans for
Pelican Bay Sidewalk improvements.
CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County Ordinance 2002- 27, as amended, established the Pelican Bay
Services Division Municipal Service Taxing and Benefit Unit of Collier County, Florida, for the purpose
of providing street lighting, water management, beach re-nourishment, ambient noise management,
extraordinary law enforcement service and beautification, including but not limited to, beautification of
recreation facilities, sidewalks, street and median areas, identification markers, the main tenance of
conservation or preserve areas including the restoration of the mangrove forest preserve, and to finance
the landscaping beautification of only that portion of U.S. 41 from Pine Ridge Road to Vanderbilt Beach
Road.
Historically, the Collier County Road and Bridge Maintenance Division has maintained the asphalt
sidewalks in Pelican Bay. Due to aging infrastructure and tree roots intrusions, the existing sidewalks
originally built in the early 1980’s have reached the end of their service life and can no longer be repaired
adequately to the desired standards of the Pelican Bay community. As a result, the Pelican Bay Services
Division sought proposals from consultants to design a sidewalk replacement project on certain public
roadways located in Pelican Bay.
On October 29, 2019 the Procurement Services Division released notices of RPS No. 20 -7680, Pelican
Bay Sidewalk Improvements Design. Staff notified 28,965 firms, 111 interested firms
viewed/downloaded the solicitation package, and the County received five (5) proposals by the December
9, 2019, due date. Staff found all five proposals received responsive and responsible. A selection
committee met on January 10, 2020, and as described in step 1 of the solicitation documents, the
committee scored each of the proposals and shortlisted the following top five firms to move on to step 2,
presentations: (1) Agnoli, Barber & Brundage, Inc., (2) Capital Consulting Solutions, LLC, (3) Stantec
Consulting Services, Inc., (4) Q. Grady Minor and Associates, P.A., and (5) Davidson Engineering, Inc.
After the initial shortlisting, Davidson Engineering, Inc. withdrew from the step 2 presentations.
On January 17, 2020, the selection committee reconvened for the step 2, presentations and the committee
ranked the firms as follows:

requested.

Re: RPS 20-7680, Pelican Bay Sidewalk Improvements Design
Due: December 9, 2019 at 3:00 pm
Dear Ms. Hamilton and Selection Committee:
Agnoli, Barber & Brundage, Inc. is pleased to submit our qualifications in response to Collier County’s
RPS 20-7680, Pelican Bay Sidewalk Improvements Design. We have reviewed the scope of services
contemplated by the County and have identified a project team with the necessary experience and
skills to successfully complete all requested services.
Our firm is comprised of long-time County and Southwest Florida residents, and their familiarity with
local conditions will provide a unique perspective on the relevant issues important to the County’s
efforts. Our Principals will be active project managers and designers. I will serve as the Principal in
Charge and Project Manager for this project.
Agnoli, Barber & Brundage stands ready to assist the County on this project upon its direction to
proceed. We realize that the successful outcome of municipal projects requires balancing numerous
factors including budget cycles, grant requirements, regulatory setbacks and other unforeseen issues
which may alter project timelines. We have assigned uniquely qualified personnel experienced in
management of complex projects who will help with this effort. They will strive to perform all tasks
efficiently, maximizing any time spent and ensuring that deadlines are met while being responsive to
your concerns. Our management team will maintain open communications with the County to
provide fast responses whenever problems arise. A preliminary estimate of work completion
timeline has been provided, designed to meet the County’s requirements. We expect this to be further
refined after review of any other specific conditions the County may provide.
While we have documented our technical capabilities in our submission, our prime corporate
philosophy extends beyond technical prowess. Client service and satisfaction are held in
exceptionally high regard, and the provision of timely service and personal management attention
are of primary concern to our Principals. We have embedded in our philosophy the importance of
designs promoting ease of maintenance and operation, ultimately ensuring the best long-term
interests of our clients and the public they serve.

PERSONNEL
Ability of Professional Personnel
Agnoli, Barber & Brundage, Inc.
Agnoli, Barber & Brundage, Inc. (“ABB”) is proud to be in its 36th year of serving the engineering,
surveying and planning needs of Southwest Florida. As a locally owned and operated enterprise, ABB
is uniquely positioned to offer services to our local communities. All of our Principals and staff are
local residents, intimately familiar with the important issues affecting our quality of life in Southwest
Florida. In early 2018, the firm expanded its consultancy and now offers Landscape Architecture
among its slate of services, all part of a comprehensive effort to meet the expanding needs of its client
base.
As a medium-sized firm, we are large enough to service major projects, yet small enough to maintain
the high level of personal service our clients have come to expect. A key to this success has been
thorough cross-training which has allowed distribution of workload among our talented staff.
Employee retention is highly valued at ABB because we believe that this ultimately benefits our client
base (someone knowledgeable about the project is always available to answer a phone call). Long-
term relationships have been, and will continue to be, an integral component of our business strategy.
Our average tenure company-wide is 15 years, with senior management staff averaging close to 30
years. The satisfaction of our clients is the key element to this business strategy; this approach to our
business dealings has promoted financial benefits which have proved enduring and robust.
ABB’s office location in north Naples provides us with quick access to the regulatory offices of agencies
such as South Florida Water Management District, Florida Department of Environmental Protection,
Florida Department of Transportation, United States Army Corps of Engineers, etc., from which the
County may need to obtain permits for its work. We are able to meet with these agencie s with little
notice to answer questions or provide additional information. ABB is Prequalified with FDOT in Work
Groups 3.1, 3.2, 7.1, 8.1, 8.2, 8.4 and 15.0, is certified as a small business at the unlimited level, and has
obtained the Specs on the Web certification. In addition, ABB is certified by the South Florida Water
Management District as a Small Business Enterprise (SBE).
Agnoli, Barber & Brundage has successfully designed sidewalk and transportation projects for Collier
County, City of Naples, City of Bonita Springs, Lee County and, most recently, for the Village of Estero.
We pride ourselves on the good working relationships we have built with Collier County Project
Managers and Administrators over the past 36 years. ABB is currently on the annual Professional
Services contract and has been for many years. Our experiences with other Southwest Florida entities
have given us a unique perspective over larger issues of regional importance and have provided useful
contacts with adjacent government departments and regulatory agencies. Any benefits drawn from
these contacts and familiarity with various agency staff translate as an asset to the County in its
permitting efforts.
For this project, we have assembled a highly-qualified team which will be able to address all aspects of
the scope of this project. In addition, our team has extensive experience with local construction and
regulatory conditions in Collier County, as well as South Florida Water Management District.

Jocelyn (Joss) Nageon de Lestang, P.E.
Senior Project Engineer
Mr. Nageon de Lestang’s engineering work experience spans over 21 years, with
particular emphasis on stormwater and related water resource management. He is
active in environmental regulatory issues and has expertise and knowledge of local
watersheds, having made numerous public presentations to the Big Cypress Basin
Board, Collier County Advisory Boards, County Commissions, and City Councils of
Naples and Bonita Springs.
As Principal Engineer of the Big Cypress Basin (BCB) at the South Florida Water
Management District (SFWMD), a position he held for five years, he directed the BCB’s
Capital Projects initiatives and also served as the Basin’s Water Manager with
responsibility over Collier County’s primary flood control system which is comprised
of 4 watersheds covering more than 400 square miles. Mr. Nageon de Lestang also
directed the planning and implementation of the Basin’s capital projects, with an annual
budget of $6.5 M (FY18). Infrastructure improvements built under this program
included two major control structures, both of which were initiated under his direction.
As the BCB’s Primary Water Manager he directed the operations of a flood control
and drainage network which consists of 140 miles of canals, 43 control structures, and
2 large pump stations. Under his tenure, his office was instrumental in the BCB
Watershed Atlas publication and the Basin-wide Level of Service modeling project, as
well as other initiatives with a focus on ecosystem improvements and restoration.
During his term at the FDEP, Office of Ecosystem Projects, Mr. Nageon de Lestang was
the Department’s lead engineer on the technical review of Comprehensive Everglades
Restoration Plan [CERP] projects. Operating out of the FDEP West Palm Beach Office,
this work included permit reviews, field reviews, and engineering assessment of various
Everglades Restoration Projects in Central and South Florida. Projects included the C-
44, C-111, Picayune Strand, Southern Crew, C-43 and Kissimmee River Restoration.
Mr. Nageon de Lestang was the founding partner and president of Gulfshore
Engineering Inc., a firm he directed for nine years. Significant projects undertaken during
that period include work on the City of Naples Basin V Stormwater Improvements. As
prime consultant on this project, he proposed, and ultimately delivered, a value-
engineered and realistic slate of improvements based on achievable budgets. Re-
designed existing plans and lowered costs by 51% ($ 17.8 million to $8.7 million), which
allowed rapid implementation based on existing capital funds. The construction
involved extensive drainage network retrofits, basin-wide water quality BMP’s and
improvements to residential, commercial and roadway areas covering 780 acres. This
project, which outfalls into environmentally-sensitive Naples Bay, required close
coordination with state agencies as well as adjacent stakeholders, Collier County and
the Conservancy of Southwest Florida.
He also led the stormwater design and permitting effort for the six-lane Expansion of
Golden Gate Boulevard, a Collier County initiative involving six (6) miles of roadway.
This project required the design and acquisition of seven (7) stormwater pond sites
and three (3) bridge crossings over major BCB canals. This project required
coordination with numerous state and local agencies including USFWS, USACE,
SFWMD, FDOT and the BCB.
His consultant experience has involved both public and private sector clients. On local
southwest Florida regulatory issues his work includes engagements by major
stakeholders, the Bonita Bay Group and Collier Enterprises, to lead the review of
amendments to Collier County’s Land Development Code. Appointed by the City of
Naples, he played a leadership role in drafting of the City’s Local Stormwater Ordinance
and was retained by the City of Bonita Springs to provide independent review of the
South Lee Watershed Study, a regional engineering study (200 sq-mile watershed)
commissioned by the SFWMD.

assisted with the selection of the contractor and provided post-design services.
Estero Parkway Roadway/Landscape Design & Estero Roadway Landscape Master
Plan – Village of Estero (Phase I – November 2017 to October 2018; Phase II – October
2018 to November 2019)
The Village of Estero selected ABB for its first major design and construction project as a newly
incorporated Village. Phase I consisted of topographic survey, right-of-way mapping, environmental
and geotechnical services. The engineering portion of Phase I was to provide preliminary design
alternatives for the roadway cross sections, bike lanes and sidewalks as well as the feasibility of
incorporating roundabouts. Phase I included six presentations to Village Council and three public
meetings with affected Homeowner’s Associations along the project. Phase II design has just been
completed and consisted of the preparation of roadway plans, contract documents and securing of
environmental permits based on the direction Village Council provided for Phase I. Construction will
begin this winter. Phase III is an optional Landscape Master Plan for the Village based upon the
landscaping utilized on the roadway project.
Replacement of Bridge #034120 on White Boulevard over Cypress Canal - Collier
County (2010- 2019)
ABB provided services for the design, permitting, bidding and engineering services during
construction necessary to construct the replacement bridge over Cypress Canal. The replacement
bridge was designed for a wider cross section to increase travel lanes to 12’, add 4’ paved shoulders
and 6’ sidewalks on both sides. The Cypress Canal was also widened and deepened based upon future
flows provided by the Big Cypress Basin. Due to newer clearance requirements, the profile of the
bridge was raised approximately 3’ which required grade approaches to each end of the bridge. In
addition, an aerial 30” watermain was relocated to accommodate the wider bridge.
Bonita Springs Downtown Redevelopment - City of Bonita Springs (2014 to 2017)
**See project sheet included with Reference Questionnaires**
Colorado Avenue Sidewalks – Immokalee, Collier County (2013 to 2015)
Construction plans were developed for 5 ft-wide concrete sidewalks along both the north and south
side of Colorado Avenue from South 9th Street to South 1st Street in Immokalee. The project included
full driveway restoration, drainage improvements consisting of new swales and underground
drainage pipe and associated structures. The intent of the design was to utilize and avoid newly
constructed improvements as part of the recently completed Downtown Immokalee Stormwater
Improvements Project. ABB also prepared bid documents, assisted with the selection of the
contractor and provided post-design services.
Immokalee Stormwater Improvements Phase II – Immokalee, Collier County (2013 to

overlay design as also provided for both roadways. ABB also prepared bid documents, assisted with
the selection of the contractor and provided post-design services.
Pelican Bay Crosswalks (2011 to 2014)
Pelican Bay Services Division (PBSD) identified 14 locations where pedestrian crosswalks needed
consideration for a new crosswalk or an upgrade of existing striping to current ADA signing and
marking standards. ABB studied the 14 locations and met with PBSD staff and Board members and
coordinated with the Pelican Bay Foundation to identify which crosswalks were priority to
implement a phased plan. ABB designed 12 new crosswalks: 3 new mid-block crosswalks on Pelican
Bay Boulevard and 9 new/upgrades at major intersections on Pelican Bay Boulevard and Gulf Park
Drive. ABB prepared surveys of existing conditions and designed new paver crosswalks on concrete
foundations with all associated pedestrian signs and pavement markings. Construction plans and
details were prepared to align the new crosswalks in their proper geometric locations, replaced all
curb cuts with new concrete curbs and sidewalks at ADA 2% maximum cross slopes and 5%
maximum running slopes. ABB provided construction services and coordinated maintenance of
traffic plans to address partial road closures. The 12 new crosswalks were a safety upgrade and
traffic calming measure for the public but also a beautification for the community with the conversion
of asphalt and striping into decorative pavers and concrete bands.
Pelican Bay Boulevard Turn Lane at North Tram Station (2011 to 2012)
Pelican Bay Services Division and Pelican Bay Foundation partnered on the relocation of the North
Tram Station driveway on the west side of Pelican Bay Boulevard. ABB designed a new median cut

existing condominium driveways. The PBSD Board and residents debated the need for a wider
sidewalk or shared pathway. ABB attended several community meetings and presented plans for
options of 6-foot, 7-foot and 8-foot wide sidewalks. We evaluated the impacts to existing oak trees
and other conflicts or encroachments. ABB revised the plans for an 8-foot wide sidewalk and
prepared final plans and a right-of-way permit application. The community and PBSD Board
eventually decided to postpone the project construction.
Forest Lakes Sidewalk Improvements - Collier County (2010 to 2012)
This project consisted of ±9,000 linear feet of proposed sidewalk within an existing residential
community. ABB designed the final alignment for elevation grading and drainage considering
existing conditions and also prepared construction drawings of sidewalks to include proposed
elevations, ADA cross slopes and ramps, proposed curb cuts and curb modifications, minor grading
and drainage modifications, street signage and striping, and other adjustments as necessary. ABB
also prepared bid documents and assisted with the selection of the contractor.
South Bayshore Drive Corridor Improvements – Collier County (2009 to 2012)
Plans were developed for an eight-foot wide multi-use concrete pathway based upon corridor design
concept plans for Bayshore Drive South. The plans were based upon a corridor design study
conducted by ABB. Drainage improvements, decorative lighting and landscape design were also part
of the project. The project was approximately one mile in length from Thomasson Drive South to the
end of Bayshore Drive at Holly Avenue.
Collier Boulevard (CR 951) Greenway – Collier County (2004 to 2009)
This project consisted of the
design of a pathway on Collier
Boulevard (CR 951) from

Corbett Road Improvements Diplomat Parkway to Littleton Road – Lee County (2014
to 2018)
**See project sheet included with Reference Questionnaires**
LASIP County Barn Road and Pathway
Feasibility Study – Collier County (2013 to
2016)
Collier County had construction plans to widen
County Barn Road, a length of two miles, from two
lanes to a four-lane divided highway. Due to revised
traffic forecasting and other projects in the area, it
was determined that the additional lane capacity was
no longer warranted. ABB was hired to re-design the
existing two-lane roadway to incorporate safety
improvements, improve intersection design at
Rattlesnake Hammock Road and Davis Boulevard
and integrate stormwater improvements from the
LASIP Project, an 11,000-acre regional drainage system. With the reduced roadway lanes, most of
the proposed underground box culvert was replaced with a natural, open swale drainage system
which was much less expensive, meshed with the existing surroundings and was more
environmentally friendly. A pathway feasibility study was performed for the project corridor based
upon future FDOT funding. The construction plans were designed to accommodate the future
pathway and to avoid conflicts with any of the newly constructed features.
J&C Boulevard Improvements – Collier County (2012 to 2015)
This was a project to improve J&C Boulevard by adding paved shoulders along both sides of the road
and providing an asphalt overlay over the entire roadway. The project included the improvement of
the swales along both sides of the street to re-establish a continuous flow line including the
replacement of existing culverts to upsize them or set them at the correct elevation, if necessary, and
reconstructing the existing driveways in-kind. Also included was the relocation and/or adjustment
of existing utility features within the limits of the improvements. ABB also reviewed the Pine Ridge
Industrial Park drainage infrastructure in areas adjacent to J&C Boulevard to identify deficiencies
and recommend corrective actions necessary to promote adequate drainage and prepared a Drainage
Issues Study.
Sabal Palm Road Permitting – Collier County (2011 to 2013)
ABB was hired to provide surveying and engineering services pertaining to design and permitting
with SFWMD for lime rock maintenance activities for Sabal Palm Road located within the Sabal Palm
MSTU. Design services consisted of developing typical sections which addressed the roadway width
as well as the width, depth and side slopes of ditches on each side and developing plans and profile
sheets to show roadway alignment and elevation as well as invert elevation of the road site ditches.
Yahl Street Improvements – Collier County (2010 to 2013)
This project consisted of construction plans for roadway improvements to Yahl Street from Pine
Ridge Road to the north dead end. This included making all lanes 12-feet wide and adding a paved
shoulder along both sides of the road along with improving the swales along both sides of Yahl Street
to re-establish a continuous flow line. Existing culverts were replaced to upsize or set at correct
elevation. Relocation or adjustment of existing utility features were also included. ABB also provided
construction layout to the contractor.
Shangri-La Road Regional Drainage Improvements – Phases I and II – City of Bonita
Springs (2009 to 2013)
The Shangri-La Road area had a long history of drainage and flooding problems. During initial design
of the Shangri-La Road Extension, it was apparent that the new roadway would not have a sufficient
drainage outfall. A drainage connection was added across Shangri-La Road to the south via a series
of ditch and pipe improvements along Bonita St. James as well as increasing the capacity of a dry
detention area. The dry detention area fed into a large control structure 60’ wide with a 25’ wide
weir and two 5’ x 5’ control gates. The control structure would outfall into approximately 500’ of
proposed 10’ x 5’ box culvert which connected into an existing 10’ x 7’ box culvert under Old 41 Road.
A new ditch was constructed adjacent to the FPL property on the west side of Old 41 Road which
connected to the existing railroad ditch behind their property. The railroad ditch was improved
south to West Terry Street.
Taylor Road Improvements – Collier County (2010 to 2012)
ABB was hired for engineering design and construction assistance services for roadway
improvements to Taylor Road. This included design of modifications to existing driveways, design
changes to existing and proposed stormwater culvert system, preparing and submitting permit
packages, locating underground utilities and preparing final plans. ABB also provided bid schedule
and construction specifications and project construction assistance.
Enterprise Avenue Intersection Improvements (2010 to 2011)
This project consisted of intersection improvements on Enterprise Avenue at both Industrial
Boulevard and Commercial Boulevard. The project is located within the Naples Production Park
MSTU. The main purposed was to improve the intersection geometry for larger delivery vehicles by
increasing the radius returns at each corning and adding paved shoulders. Existing drainage
structures had to be modified or replaced with the new roadway dimensions as well as FPL pole
relocations.
Summerlin Road 6-Lane Improvements –
Lee County (2000 to 2011)
The project consisted of proposed improvements
from Cypress Lake Drive to Boy Scout Drive in
Fort Myers. The improvements consisted of
widening nearly three miles of a four-lane
divided road to a six-lane divided facility, adding
an overpass at College Parkway and
reconfiguring the three-legged intersection at
Boy Scout Drive. The plans also called for the
addition of sidewalks, both water and sewer
utility relocations, and the use of gravity walls.
Santa Barbara Boulevard 6-Laning – Collier County (2005 to 2010)
Development of construction plans for proposed improvements for Santa Barbara Boulevard from
Davis Boulevard to Rattlesnake Hammock Road. Project involved widening and new construction of
an existing two-lane, non-divided rural section to a six-lane divided roadway. The design of the plans
also included the addition of sidewalks, the relocation of a watermain, a reclaimed watermain and
two force mains.
Old 41 Widening Phases I & II – City of Bonita Springs (2004 to 2009)
Phase I of the project consisted of improving dirt roads to two-lane urban sections with curb and
gutter and new construction of Cockleshell Drive. The improvements allowed the installation of a
four-way traffic signal at Old 41 Road and Shangri-La Road. The total length of work along the four
roads was approximately 1.1 miles. Phase II of the project involved widening 2.75 miles an existing
two-lane rural section to a four-lane divided highway from Rosemary Drive to U.S. 41. The plans also
included the addition of sidewalks, water, sewer and reclaimed water relocations and the use of
gravity walls.
Rattlesnake Hammock Road 6-Laning – Collier County (2003 to 2008)
This project was the development of construction plans for proposed improvements from Polly
Avenue to Collier Boulevard (CR 951). The improvements consisted of widening nearly two miles of
a two-lane undivided rural road to a four-lane divided urban section, expandable to six lanes. The
design also included sidewalks on either side of the road, a sound barrier wall, gravity walls, corridor
lighting, bike lanes and approximately 2,700 feet of a 4’ x 8’ box culvert to maintain off-site flow.
Utility improvements consisted of a new 24” water main and the relocation of the existing 20” force
main.

The City of Bonita Springs improved the downtown area along Old US 41 from Tennessee
Street to Terry Street by beautifying the area and making it more accessible to the residents.
The improvements included improved hardscaping and additional landscaping, improved
pedestrian access, construction of roundabouts, construction of additional parking near the
downtown area, improved drainage systems, and general beautification.
ABB engaged with the City of Bonita Springs to design the stormwater management and water
quality improvements with the goal of providing the highest amount of water quality treatment
credits possible for the 400+ acre drainage area. Multiple constraints made water quality
treatment difficult, as the area has narrow rights-of-way with the surrounding area having been
built out. ABB worked with the City of Bonita and the site planners to turn on-street parking
into porous paver exfiltration areas.
On-street parking areas were
designed with pervious pavers located
over exfiltration trenches containing
weirs and perforated ADS pipes.
Where it was feasible, stormwater
from the streets would be directed
into the inlets in the parking areas and
onto the porous paver parking areas.
Control structures were designed at
strategic points along the project to attenuate water at the levels needed to provide water
quality treatment for the project. The use of Pervious Pavers and Exfiltration Trenches
provided the highest water quality treatment possible within the constraints of the right-of-way.
The conceptual permit process provides a means for municipalities to work with local planners
and designers to provide the community with permitted areas for development. Providing
water quality for a large development area allows smaller businesses to develop land that might
not have the space required for water quality treatment.

Arthrex, Inc., a global medical device company and leader in new product development
and medical education in orthopedics, engaged ABB to re-design and expand their
corporate headquarters in Naples. Site work includes a new administration building,
hotel, campus lawn and a wellness center. Beyond the expansion of new facilities,
Arthrex wanted to transform the property from a business park into more of a campus
setting that would allow employees and visiting physicians to be able to move about the
campus on bike and on foot in a relaxed and safe manner. A major concern with the
site was cut-through traffic along Creekside Boulevard from Goodlette-Frank Road to
US 41. To calm traffic, one-quarter mile of Creekside Boulevard was removed, and
two single-lane roundabouts were added at Arthrex Boulevard and Creekside Street. In
addition, sidewalks and pathways were added throughout to interconnect the entire
property and compliment the new landscaping to provide an intimate campus. All
changes to the roadway were coordinated with, and permitted through, Collier County
and South Florida Water Management District.

The limits of the project are along Corbett Road in the City of Cape Coral, from
Diplomat Parkway to Littleton Road, a total distance of approximately 1 mile. The
initial scope of the project was to continue an 8-foot wide pathway recently
constructed as part of the Veteran’s Administration Hospital north to Littleton Road.
In addition, the lanes would be widened to 11 feet and the roadway resurfaced with
an asphalt overlay. All work was to be completed within the existing right-of-way.
However, early in the design phase, ABB discovered two problems with the project.
First, after reviewing the Go-Pro video of our project drive through and then visiting
the site, it was apparent that the pavement was failing and in no shape to be subject to
an asphalt overlay. We recommended to Lee County DOT that pavement corings and
a pavement structural condition survey should be performed by a geotechnical
engineer. The results of the geotechnical survey confirmed our initial concerns that
an asphalt overlay was not practical with the poor condition of the roadway asphalt.
The second problem was that due to deep roadside ditches, it is was not feasible to
extend the 8-foot pathway, widen the roadway and stay within the existing right-of-
way.
Lee County DOT did not have the budget to rebuild the roadway to repair the failing
asphalt and build an 8-foot pathway that would have required additional right-of-way
or easements, so ABB had to revise the scope of work to stay within the allotted
construction budget for the project. The new project was to rebuild and widen Corbett
Road without the extension of the 8-foot pathway and, in addition, to revise the design
of the roadway so that the roadway and asphalt failures would not repeat itself in the
future.
A high groundwater table, based on the deep roadside ditches, was suspected to be causing the roadway
failures. A soil survey report was ordered specifically to determine the groundwater elevations along the
Corbett Road. Groundwater elevations were then plotted along cross sections of the roadway to determine
areas where the base of the roadway did not have enough clearance above the groundwater table.
A high groundwater table, based on the deep roadside ditches, was suspected to be causing the roadway
failures. A soil survey report was ordered specifically to determine the groundwater elevations along the
Corbett Road. Groundwater elevations were then plotted along cross sections of the roadway to determine
areas where the base of the roadway did not have enough clearance above the groundwater table.
Based on these cross sections, ABB provided several design alternatives and opinions of cost to determine
the most cost-effective solution. As opposed to raising the profile grade line of the road in high groundwater
areas, an asphalt “black base” was used to keep the profile of the road at the current elevation. In addition,
Lee County DOT used this project as an opportunity to explore a new type of roadway rehabilitation referred
to as Full Depth Reclamation (FDR). FDR can be generally described as recycling both the asphalt and
roadway base. A road reclaimer machine is used to pulverize an existing asphalt pavement and a portion of
the base, subbase, and/or subgrade. The pulverized material is then uniformly blended with an additional
stabilizing material such as cement to provide an upgraded, homogeneous material. Finally, the stabilized
material is compacted in place with rollers. FDR was added to the project as a bid alternate.
The low-bidder for the project chose the Full Depth Reclamation alternate. Construction began in August
2018 and was completed in early 2019.

Time and Budget Requirements
Project Approach, Time and Budget Requirements
The ABB team brings the full resources of highly specialized skills to provide the County with construction
plans and contract documents that will meet the scheduling needs and budget of the County. We propose
the design portion for the project to be completed within five months from Notice to Proceed (NTP).
Permitting for an Insubstantial Change to the Pelican Bay Road Construction Plans and permitting for a new
Right-of-Way Permit are to be completed within four months. Included within the design and permitting
phases is the close coordination with Pelican Bay Services Division (PBSD) staff and attendance at monthly
PBSD Board meetings to present designs and obtain public input. Advertisement and contractor bidding
through Collier County Procurement, including Board of County Commissioners contract approval, are
anticipated to take approximately four months. The construction should be implemented in phases to
minimize disruption within the community and to keep segments of existing sidewalks open to the public.
A construction duration of 12 months is budgeted to allow for phased construction, but this will ultimately
be determined by the PBSD Board based on their needs at time of construction commencement. A detailed
schedule is included at the end of this section.
Pelican Bay is an existing residential and commercial subdivision that was designed and permitted nearly
40 years ago. The original design of the sidewalks included 5-foot wide asphalt paths on both sides of the
main roads. The original asphalt was approximately 1” thick over 4” lime rock on compacted subgrade.
Over the past few decades, the asphalt has deteriorated (longitudinal cracks, edge cracks, potholes,
raveling). Collier County and PBSD have continuously made repairs by adding asphalt layers or removing
damaged asphalt and replacing with new layers. The asphalt patch areas and additional asphalt thickness
height has created safety hazards. The proximity of large hardwood trees adjacent to the sidewalk has
caused additional upheaval cracking that requires frequent repairs. Our understanding of the existing
conditions and the needs of the community is a valuable asset to Collier County and PBSD.
ABB has been working with Pelican Bay Services Division, Pelican Bay Foundation, and Club Pelican Bay on
various improvement projects for more than 30 years. We have many years’ experience working with PBSD
staff and Board members, Foundation staff and Board members, golf course staff and residents within the
community. We have completed many road, sidewalk and crosswalk projects, drainage improvements, lake
modifications, golf course improvements, PUD and planning studies, water management permit
certifications, berm restoration and other projects. Our vast experience and knowledge of the community,
and our proximity to the site gives us an immeasurable advantage in keeping projects within budgets and
providing excellent services at a reasonable cost.
Managing the overall cost of the project, maintaining budgets and avoiding change orders are primarily a
function of the Project Manager’s understanding of the project scope of services, background data and
project site conditions. James A. Carr, P.E., is the Principal-In-Charge and Project Manager who will direct
the ABB team assembled for this project, as identified in Criteria 1 of this RPS document. Jim has extensive
knowledge and a thorough understanding of the Pelican Bay community, all Pelican Bay streets and
sidewalks and potential issues affecting budget preparation. Our projects with Collier County and other
municipalities have historically been completed within budget and on time. Budget review with the project
manager and effective communication are keys to avoiding budgeting overruns or change orders.
This RPS contains a detailed scope of services and items of work within the FDOT Design Manual. The
project calls for the development of construction plans, contract documents, supporting engineering
calculations and analysis, necessary permits and any other technical documents in accordance with both
FDOT and County policy, procedures and requirements. Having a clear and concise understanding of the
project scope and partnering with the people involved in the decision making is a key to managing project
costs and schedule.
The following is a tentative list of tasks presented in the sequence for which they will be performed:
a) Develop Existing Conditions Plans
b) Prepare Design Plan Sheets Set
c) Site Visits and Coordination with PBSD
d) Prepare Preliminary Plan Set and Details
e) Meet with PBSD staff and attend PBSD Board Meetings
f) Complete Plans Substantially for Permit Submittals
g) Pre-Application Meeting with Collier County
h) Prepare Final Documents
i) Application Submittal to Collier County Growth Management
j) Continue Coordination with PBSD and Board
k) Review and Respond to County Request for Additional Information
l) Resubmittal to County
m) Prepare Final Plans and Bid Documents
n) Coordinate with PBSD and Procurement in Bid Process
o) Construction Contract Administration
Technical Design Approach
The first task will be the development of existing conditions plans that will primarily consist of the
horizontal and vertical geometrics of the existing sidewalks, curbs and surrounding improvements. The
base of our construction plan set will be the topographic survey data including establishing right-of-way,
easements and property ownership. The existing conditions plan will be comprised of both horizontal and
vertical project control, reference points and topography to produce a 3D digital terrain model including
utilities and drainage. Right-of-way mapping will determine existing right-of-way lines, easements, section
corners, subdivision locations and property ownership. ABB has recently prepared extensive surveys
throughout Pelican Bay including the sidewalks, rights-of-way and property lines. We have survey control
points and benchmarks set along all the streets identified in this RPS. Having this extensive knowledge of
the parcels and the field work completed will help us prepare the base maps efficiently. We can easily
collect any additional information needed during the project design given our control points in place and
the proximity of our office to the site.
While work on the base plan is proceeding, our CAD and engineering team will be in the process of creating
plan sheets at approximately 1” = 20’ scale to show enlarged views of all work areas. We estimate
approximately 80 to 90 plan sheets will be needed to show the elevation grading and construction design
details. Our field representative and design engineer will take existing condition plans to the site and walk
all sidewalks to confirm existing sidewalks that have slopes in excess of the required 5% maximum run.
The required 2% cross slopes are not necessary to identify on the existing sidewalks because this will be
corrected or provided easily with new construction. The 5% maximum slopes are important in identifying
where existing grades will need to be modified and cut back over a long distance in order to meet current
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Existing underground utilities and existing trees need to
be considered when modifying grades. We will also confirm slope deficiencies at all driveway crossings
and curb cut locations. In our recent studies of the Pelican Bay sidewalk system, we have identified all
locations throughout the community where these potential deficiencies exist. Earlier this year, ABB
prepared a GIS map of the community with these potential hazard and conflict areas with links to photos
indicating these conditions. There are many locations that have excess of 5% slopes approaching the curb
ramps at the driveways. Some curb cuts are less than 5 feet width (some are less than 3 feet). We have
identified a few severe cases, particularly at the Oak Lake Sanctuary driveway on the south side of Gulf Park
Drive, and the L’Ambiance driveway on the north side of Pelican Bay Boulevard. Most curb ramps do not
have detectable warning mats as required by ADA. There are many driveways that do not have properly
marked crosswalks at the required widths, and several that have no striping at all. Some driveways have
stop signs and white stop bars that need to be relocated to their required separations and distances from
crosswalks and curbs.
In 2011-2012, ABB prepared construction plans for 12 major crosswalks within Pelican Bay on Pelican Bay
Boulevard and on Gulf Park Drive. The old asphalt striped crosswalks were replaced with mud set pavers
on concrete base, and all sign and markings were improved to meet ADA standards. All adjacent curb cuts
were upgraded and replaced with new concrete and the ADA required 2% cross slopes and 5% running
slopes were provided. These 12 intersections and mid-block crosswalks should need little to no changes,
and the new 6’ concrete sidewalks should tie smoothly into these recent improvements.
ABB recently walked all sidewalks identified in this RPS that are to be replaced in the community. We made
notation of all tree conflicts where existing trees are within 2 feet of the existing sidewalk. We determined
where we anticipate being able to widen the new sidewalks to the desired 6 feet width to not impact trees.
We noted locations where it will be best to meander around or between certain trees in order to avoid the
conflicts. We also noted locations where we will likely keep existing 5 feet width for a short distance in
order to preserve an existing tree. Pelican Bay Boulevard, Hammock Oak Drive, North Pointe Drive and
Greentree Drive are the streets that have the highest number and concentrations of hardwood oak trees.
These oaks are an integral part of the neighborhood, and their preservation is very important to the
residents. We believe that no more than a few oaks would need to be removed in order to accommodate
the new sidewalk. Their proximity to the existing 5-foot wide sidewalk is already detrimental to the tree
and to the integrity of the sidewalk and provision for a clear shoulder area adjacent to the sidewalk. ABB
has a registered Landscape Architect on staff who will provide input on the tree conflicts. We recommend
that PBSD hire an arborist to opine on all the trees that are identified as potential conflicts or removals to
determine if the tree should be preserved or removed. Given the historical relevance of the trees and their
shade canopies, our goal is to minimize tree removals, and, when necessary, the replacements shall be in
like kind at no less than 1 for 1 ratio. For all the hardwood trees to remain that are within close distance to
the sidewalks, we will propose root barrier to protect the new sidewalks. This task will be closely
coordinated with our Landscape Architect and the project arborist. Most of the trees that we identified to
be removed due to being within the clear shoulder zone are cabbage palms that are inexpensive to remove
and replace. There are a few slash pines and one Hong Kong orchid within the right-of-way that should be
removed to accommodate the new sidewalk.
In addition to the conflicts and corrections noted above, utility conflicts were also reviewed during our site
visits. There are a couple of fire hydrants that will likely need to be relocated away from the sidewalks.
These are currently within the shoulder clear zones and need to be adjusted. Hydrant relocations are
typically not a significant issue nor a significant cost. There are potable water and irrigation valves within
the existing sidewalk that can remain as is, but some will need minor adjustments to make them level to
grade. Where feasible, we will route the new sidewalk around existing valves and boxes.
There is a potential safety hazard we noticed on the west side of Pelican Bay Boulevard near Marker 36
common area. There is a drainage headwall within approximately 5 feet of the sidewalk that has a severe
vertical drop. There is a hedge between the sidewalk and headwall that make this not noticeable, but it is
an existing condition that needs attention. We recommend a new handrail on the headwall. Across the
street from this location there is another hazard where handrail has been installed behind a storm inlet. It
appears the asphalt sidewalk has been overlaid a few times making the grade differential extreme. We
recommend relocating the sidewalk away from the storm inlet and eliminating the handrail.
With the extensive surveying we have done within Pelican Bay and from our site visits, we have identified
several locations where the existing sidewalk falls outside the County right -of-way. Some areas near
Pelican Bay Boulevard and Myra Janco Daniels Drive have sidewalks that meander outside the rights-of-
way into adjacent properties. These adjacent properties are owned by Pelican Bay Foundation, Inc., which
is a not for profit organization and partner in many aspects of the community. We understand that the
sidewalks on these parcels can remain in their locations and be replaced with the 6 feet width. Some other
sidewalks that run outside the right-of-way are currently on private condominium parcels or golf course
parcels. Where these sidewalks have minor encroachments, we propose to relocate the new sidewalk back
into the County right-of-way. Where sidewalks meander far into the parcels and it would be costly or
disruptive to relocate into the right-of-way, we recommend seeking a public sidewalk easement. We noted
locations where this is recommended at the Tierra Mar property, the Sand Pointe property, and the golf
course across from The Commons and across from Myra Janco Daniels Drive. Where easements are sought,
we will coordinate with PBSD and property owners to identify easement areas. ABB professional surveyors
will use our parcel surveys and field monuments to prepare sketch & descriptions for use in acquiring
easements. ABB has worked closely with Collier County Property Acquisition Department on the easement
acquisition process on previous public and private developments.
We identified two locations where there is no sidewalk and a new sidewalk is recommended. At the
intersection of Pelican Bay Boulevard and US 41 (south end), there is a gap on the north side of Pelican Bay
Boulevard where the existing sidewalk ends. This sidewalk should be extended east approximately 100
linear feet to connect to the new sidewalk and crosswalks recently constructed by FDOT at the intersection.
At the north end of Green Tree Drive there is a short cul de sac street named Lynnmore Lane. Lynnmore
Lane has a sidewalk on one side of the street that connects the Green Tree sidewalk to the Oakmont Lake
pathway. Although Lynnmore Lane is not identified in the RPS, this existing sidewalk should be replaced
with new 6-foot wide sidewalk to provide the connection.
Our site investigation of the south side of Vanderbilt Beach Road identified portions of existing sidewalk
that appear to meander outside the County right-of-way. There is a 10-foot United Telephone easement
south of the right-of-way, and further research is needed as to any public use easements in this area. We
observed that Collier County has recently installed turn lanes and intersection improvements along this
road corridor that have changed the conditions where the sidewalks will be replaced. An eastbound turn
lane was constructed west of Hammock Oak Drive, which has narrowed and steepened the adjacent swale
and shoulder area. West of the Pelican Bay Community Park driveway to North Pointe Drive, the existing
asphalt path is approximately 8 feet wide. We anticipate replacing the sidewalk with 8-foot wide concrete.
Continuing west of North Point Drive, the sidewalk is narrow and less than 5 feet wide. A timber retaining
wall is on one side and a raised curb is on the other. This condition appears hazardous, and we recommend
removing the curb, widening the sidewalk and modifying the existing shoulder and swale.
Upon the reviews of the above noted conflicts and sidewalk relocations, we will prepare preliminary
sidewalk plans for all streets identified in this project. As questions arise, we will coordinate with PBSD
staff and we will make site visits as necessary. Our office is directly across the street from Pelican Bay
which will make it very convenient and efficient for us to check actual conditions and take measurements
and pictures as needed to confirm our design intent. Preliminary plans will be provided to PBSD staff, and
we anticipate presenting plans to the PBSD Board at their monthly meetings to receive community input
and comment. Sidewalk alignments and decisions regarding trees can be addressed through staff
coordination and PBSD meetings. Design of the driveway crossings and intersections will be developed as
these items are coordinated. We will develop grading plans to address curb ramps and ADA slopes. We
will also prepare cross section and detail sheets. Once plans are substantially complete and the significant
conflicts are worked through, we will conduct a pre-application meeting and make submittal to Collier
County Growth Management for an insubstantial change (ICP) or amendment to the construction plans. An
Opinion of Cost (OPC) will be generated for the submittal based on construction quantities at time of
submittal. This OPC will be refined later for bidding purposes.
Collier County will have 15 business days to review the ICP application. During this review period, we will
continue coordination with PBSD. Coordination with SFWMD and production of the SFWMD permit
application (if necessary) will begin at this time. After receiving agency review comments, we will
incorporate any County requested plan revisions along with additional PBSD and public input for final
submittal. In conjunction with the development of the 100% plans, the preparation of final plans and bid
packages will occur. The bid package will include technical specifications, a quantities computation book,
final engineer’s opinion of probable cost, copies of permits, any other pertinent technical documents. Upon
County and agency review and approval of the final plans and bid package, the project will be advertised
for bid.
Throughout the above process, the ABB team will utilize the team’s peer review group, led by Dominick
Amico, P.E., to review the design assumptions utilized, plan production details, constructability, and overall
quality management for the Project. The peer review group will be composed primarily of Principals and
senior design engineers, which will bring to the County the knowledge and experience of these individuals
to ensure quality and a successful project.

LOCATION
Location
Agnoli, Barber & Brundage’s office is located on US 41 just south of Vanderbilt Beach Road –
directly across U.S. 41 from Pelican Bay Boulevard and the project site. This gives ABB the
unique opportunity to visit the site an unlimited number of times during the project without
any additional travel time costs to the County. In addition, our office is 5 minutes from the
offices of Collier County’s Pelican Bay Services Division; again, providing quick access for
meetings or delivering documents or other information. Other firms would have to take the
extra travel time or rely upon potentially outdated aerials or Google Earth. Other benefits of
our office location include:
➢ Manage the project from our office and have access to all staff at a moment’s notice
➢ Host team meetings in our office
➢ Host meetings with County staff, in particular, for field and constructability reviews
➢ Comparable to having on-site project trailer
➢ Could be used for weekly or bi-weekly construction meetings
➢ Quick dissemination of information/documents to construction site as needed
Additionally, living locally gives ABB quick access to the regulatory offices of agencies such
as FDEP, FDOT, USACOE, SFWMD, Collier County Government, etc., from which the County
will need to obtain permits for its work. Our office location enables us to meet with these
agencies with little notice to answer questions or provide additional information.

subcontractors (Federal contractor) to use E-Verify to verify the employment eligibility of certain
employees working on Federal contracts.
ARTICLE II
RESPONSIBILITIES
A. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE EMPLOYER
1.The Employer agrees to display the following notices supplied by DHS in a prominent place that is
clearly visible to prospective employees and all employees who are to be verified through the system:
a.Notice of E-Verify Participation
b.Notice of Right to Work
2.The Employer agrees to provide to the SSA and DHS the names, titles, addresses, and telephone
numbers of the Employer representatives to be contacted about E-Verify. The Employer also agrees to
keep such information current by providing updated information to SSA and DHS whenever the
representatives’ contact information changes.
3.The Employer agrees to grant E-Verify access only to current employees who need E-Verify access.
Employers must promptly terminate an employee’s E-Verify access if the employer is separated from
the company or no longer needs access to E-Verify.
226184
The parties to this agreement are the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the
Agnoli, Barber & Brundage, Inc. (Employer). The purpose of this agreement is to set forth terms and
conditions which the Employer will follow while participating in E-Verify.

Company ID Number:
4. The Employer agrees to become familiar with and comply with the most recent version of the
E-Verify User Manual.
5. The Employer agrees that any Employer Representative who will create E-Verify cases will
complete the E-Verify Tutorial before that individual creates any cases.
a. The Employer agrees that all Employer representatives will take the refresher tutorials when
prompted by E-Verify in order to continue using E-Verify. Failure to complete a refresher tutorial
will prevent the Employer Representative from continued use of E-Verify.
6. The Employer agrees to comply with current Form I-9 procedures, with two exceptions:
a. If an employee presents a "List B" identity document, the Employer agrees to only accept "List
B" documents that contain a photo. (List B documents identified in 8 C.F.R. § 274a.2(b)(1)(B)) can
be presented during the Form I-9 process to establish identity.) If an employee objects to the photo
requirement for religious reasons, the Employer should contact E-Verify at
888-464-4218.
b. If an employee presents a DHS Form I-551 (Permanent Resident Card), Form I-766
(Employment Authorization Document), or U.S. Passport or Passport Card to complete Form I-9,
the Employer agrees to make a photocopy of the document and to retain the photocopy with the
employee’s Form I-9. The Employer will use the photocopy to verify the photo and to assist DHS
with its review of photo mismatches that employees contest. DHS may in the future designate
other documents that activate the photo screening tool.
Note: Subject only to the exceptions noted previously in this paragraph, employees still retain the right
to present any List A, or List B and List C, document(s) to complete the Form I-9.
7. The Employer agrees to record the case verification number on the employee's Form I-9 or to print
the screen containing the case verification number and attach it to the employee's Form I-9.
8. The Employer agrees that, although it participates in E-Verify, the Employer has a responsibility to
complete, retain, and make available for inspection Forms I-9 that relate to its employees, or from other
requirements of applicable regulations or laws, including the obligation to comply with the
antidiscrimination requirements of section 274B of the INA with respect to Form I-9 procedures.
a. The following modified requirements are the only exceptions to an Employer’s obligation to not
employ unauthorized workers and comply with the anti-discrimination provision of the INA: (1) List B
identity documents must have photos, as described in paragraph 6 above; (2) When an Employer
confirms the identity and employment eligibility of newly hired employee using E-Verify procedures,
the Employer establishes a rebuttable presumption that it has not violated section 274A(a)(1)(A) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) with respect to the hiring of that employee; (3) If the
Employer receives a final nonconfirmation for an employee, but continues to employ that person,
the Employer must notify DHS and the Employer is subject to a civil money penalty between $550
and $1,100 for each failure to notify DHS of continued employment following a final
nonconfirmation; (4) If the Employer continues to employ an employee after receiving a final
nonconfirmation, then the Employer is subject to a rebuttable presumption that it has knowingly

Company ID Number:
employed an unauthorized alien in violation of section 274A(a)(1)(A); and (5) no E-Verify participant
is civilly or criminally liable under any law for any action taken in good faith based on information
provided through the E-Verify.
b. DHS reserves the right to conduct Form I-9 compliance inspections, as well as any other
enforcement or compliance activity authorized by law, including site visits, to ensure proper use of
E-Verify.
9. The Employer is strictly prohibited from creating an E-Verify case before the employee has been
hired, meaning that a firm offer of employment was extended and accepted and Form I-9 was
completed. The Employer agrees to create an E-Verify case for new employees within three Employer
business days after each employee has been hired (after both Sections 1 and 2 of Form I-9 have been
completed), and to complete as many steps of the E-Verify process as are necessary according to the
E-Verify User Manual. If E-Verify is temporarily unavailable, the three-day time period will be extended
until it is again operational in order to accommodate the Employer's attempting, in good faith, to make
inquiries during the period of unavailability.
10. The Employer agrees not to use E-Verify for pre-employment screening of job applicants, in
support of any unlawful employment practice, or for any other use that this MOU or the E-Verify User
Manual does not authorize.
11. The Employer must use E-Verify for all new employees. The Employer will not verify selectively
and will not verify employees hired before the effective date of this MOU. Employers who are Federal
contractors may qualify for exceptions to this requirement as described in Article II.B of this MOU.
12. The Employer agrees to follow appropriate procedures (see Article III below) regarding tentative
nonconfirmations. The Employer must promptly notify employees in private of the finding and provide
them with the notice and letter containing information specific to the employee’s E-Verify case. The
Employer agrees to provide both the English and the translated notice and letter for employees with
limited English proficiency to employees. The Employer agrees to provide written referral instructions
to employees and instruct affected employees to bring the English copy of the letter to the SSA. The
Employer must allow employees to contest the finding, and not take adverse action against employees
if they choose to contest the finding, while their case is still pending. Further, when employees contest
a tentative nonconfirmation based upon a photo mismatch, the Employer must take additional steps
(see Article III.B. below) to contact DHS with information necessary to resolve the challenge.
13. The Employer agrees not to take any adverse action against an employee based upon the
employee's perceived employment eligibility status while SSA or DHS is processing the verification
request unless the Employer obtains knowledge (as defined in 8 C.F.R. § 274a.1(l)) that the employee
is not work authorized. The Employer understands that an initial inability of the SSA or DHS automated
verification system to verify work authorization, a tentative nonconfirmation, a case in continuance
(indicating the need for additional time for the government to resolve a case), or the finding of a photo
mismatch, does not establish, and should not be interpreted as, evidence that the employee is not work
authorized. In any of such cases, the employee must be provided a full and fair opportunity to contest
the finding, and if he or she does so, the employee may not be terminated or suffer any adverse
employment consequences based upon the employee’s perceived employment eligibility status

(including denying, reducing, or extending work hours, delaying or preventing training, requiring an
employee to work in poorer conditions, withholding pay, refusing to assign the employee to a Federal
contract or other assignment, or otherwise assuming that he or she is unauthorized to work) until and
unless secondary verification by SSA or DHS has been completed and a final nonconfirmation has
been issued. If the employee does not choose to contest a tentative nonconfirmation or a photo
mismatch or if a secondary verification is completed and a final nonconfirmation is issued, then the
Employer can find the employee is not work authorized and terminate the employee’s employment.
Employers or employees with questions about a final nonconfirmation may call E-Verify at 1-888-464-
4218 (customer service) or 1-888-897-7781 (worker hotline).
14. The Employer agrees to comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and section 274B of
the INA as applicable by not discriminating unlawfully against any individual in hiring, firing,
employment eligibility verification, or recruitment or referral practices because of his or her national
origin or citizenship status, or by committing discriminatory documentary practices. The Employer
understands that such illegal practices can include selective verification or use of E-Verify except as
provided in part D below, or discharging or refusing to hire employees because they appear or sound
“foreign” or have received tentative nonconfirmations. The Employer further understands that any
violation of the immigration-related unfair employment practices provisions in section 274B of the INA
could subject the Employer to civil penalties, back pay awards, and other sanctions, and violations of
Title VII could subject the Employer to back pay awards, compensatory and punitive damages.
Violations of either section 274B of the INA or Title VII may also lead to the termination of its
participation in E-Verify. If the Employer has any questions relating to the anti-discrimination provision,
it should contact OSC at 1-800-255-8155 or 1-800-237-2515 (TDD).
15. The Employer agrees that it will use the information it receives from E-Verify only to confirm the
employment eligibility of employees as authorized by this MOU. The Employer agrees that it will
safeguard this information, and means of access to it (such as PINS and passwords), to ensure that it
is not used for any other purpose and as necessary to protect its confidentiality, including ensuring that
it is not disseminated to any person other than employees of the Employer who are authorized to
perform the Employer's responsibilities under this MOU, except for such dissemination as may be
authorized in advance by SSA or DHS for legitimate purposes.
16. The Employer agrees to notify DHS immediately in the event of a breach of personal information.
Breaches are defined as loss of control or unauthorized access to E-Verify personal data. All
suspected or confirmed breaches should be reported by calling 1-888-464-4218 or via email at
E-Verify@dhs.gov. Please use “Privacy Incident – Password” in the subject line of your email when
sending a breach report to E-Verify.
17. The Employer acknowledges that the information it receives from SSA is governed by the Privacy
Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a(i)(1) and (3)) and the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1306(a)). Any person who
obtains this information under false pretenses or uses it for any purpose other than as provided for in
this MOU may be subject to criminal penalties.
18. The Employer agrees to cooperate with DHS and SSA in their compliance monitoring and
evaluation of E-Verify, which includes permitting DHS, SSA, their contractors and other agents, upon
226184
45
Page 5 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
reasonable notice, to review Forms I-9 and other employment records and to interview it and its
employees regarding the Employer’s use of E-Verify, and to respond in a prompt and accurate manner
to DHS requests for information relating to their participation in E-Verify.
19. The Employer shall not make any false or unauthorized claims or references about its participation
in E-Verify on its website, in advertising materials, or other media. The Employer shall not describe its
services as federally-approved, federally-certified, or federally-recognized, or use language with a
similar intent on its website or other materials provided to the public. Entering into this MOU does not
mean that E-Verify endorses or authorizes your E-Verify services and any claim to that effect is false.
20. The Employer shall not state in its website or other public documents that any language used
therein has been provided or approved by DHS, USCIS or the Verification Division, without first
obtaining the prior written consent of DHS.
21. The Employer agrees that E-Verify trademarks and logos may be used only under license by
DHS/USCIS (see M-795 (Web)) and, other than pursuant to the specific terms of such license, may not
be used in any manner that might imply that the Employer’s services, products, websites, or
publications are sponsored by, endorsed by, licensed by, or affiliated with DHS, USCIS, or E-Verify.
22. The Employer understands that if it uses E-Verify procedures for any purpose other than as
authorized by this MOU, the Employer may be subject to appropriate legal action and termination of its
participation in E-Verify according to this MOU.
B. RESPONSIBILITIES OF FEDERAL CONTRACTORS
1. If the Employer is a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause subject to the employment
verification terms in Subpart 22.18 of the FAR, it will become familiar with and comply with the most
current version of the E-Verify User Manual for Federal Contractors as well as the E-Verify
Supplemental Guide for Federal Contractors.
2. In addition to the responsibilities of every employer outlined in this MOU, the Employer understands
that if it is a Federal contractor subject to the employment verification terms in Subpart 22.18 of the
FAR it must verify the employment eligibility of any “employee assigned to the contract” (as defined in
FAR 22.1801). Once an employee has been verified through E-Verify by the Employer, the Employer
may not create a second case for the employee through E-Verify.
a. An Employer that is not enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor at the time of a contract
award must enroll as a Federal contractor in the E-Verify program within 30 calendar days of
contract award and, within 90 days of enrollment, begin to verify employment eligibility of new hires
using E-Verify. The Employer must verify those employees who are working in the United States,
whether or not they are assigned to the contract. Once the Employer begins verifying new hires,
such verification of new hires must be initiated within three business days after the hire date. Once
enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor, the Employer must begin verification of employees
assigned to the contract within 90 calendar days after the date of enrollment or within 30 days of an
employee’s assignment to the contract, whichever date is later.
226184
46
Page 6 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
b. Employers enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor for 90 days or more at the time of a
contract award must use E-Verify to begin verification of employment eligibility for new hires of the
Employer who are working in the United States, whether or not assigned to the contract, within
three business days after the date of hire. If the Employer is enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal
contractor for 90 calendar days or less at the time of contract award, the Employer must, within 90
days of enrollment, begin to use E-Verify to initiate verification of new hires of the contractor who
are working in the United States, whether or not assigned to the contract. Such verification of new
hires must be initiated within three business days after the date of hire. An Employer enrolled as a
Federal contractor in E-Verify must begin verification of each employee assigned to the contract
within 90 calendar days after date of contract award or within 30 days after assignment to the
contract, whichever is later.
c. Federal contractors that are institutions of higher education (as defined at 20 U.S.C. 1001(a)),
state or local governments, governments of Federally recognized Indian tribes, or sureties
performing under a takeover agreement entered into with a Federal agency under a performance
bond may choose to only verify new and existing employees assigned to the Federal contract. Such
Federal contractors may, however, elect to verify all new hires, and/or all existing employees hired
after November 6, 1986. Employers in this category must begin verification of employees assigned
to the contract within 90 calendar days after the date of enrollment or within 30 days of an
employee’s assignment to the contract, whichever date is later.
d. Upon enrollment, Employers who are Federal contractors may elect to verify employment
eligibility of all existing employees working in the United States who were hired after November 6,
1986, instead of verifying only those employees assigned to a covered Federal contract. After
enrollment, Employers must elect to verify existing staff following DHS procedures and begin
E-Verify verification of all existing employees within 180 days after the election.
e. The Employer may use a previously completed Form I-9 as the basis for creating an E-Verify
case for an employee assigned to a contract as long as:
i. That Form I-9 is complete (including the SSN) and complies with Article II.A.6,
ii. The employee’s work authorization has not expired, and
iii. The Employer has reviewed the Form I-9 information either in person or in
communications with the employee to ensure that the employee’s Section 1, Form I-9
attestation has not changed (including, but not limited to, a lawful permanent resident alien
having become a naturalized U.S. citizen).
f. The Employer shall complete a new Form I-9 consistent with Article II.A.6 or update the
previous Form I-9 to provide the necessary information if:
i. The Employer cannot determine that Form I-9 complies with Article II.A.6,
ii. The employee’s basis for work authorization as attested in Section 1 has expired or
changed, or
iii. The Form I-9 contains no SSN or is otherwise incomplete.
Note: If Section 1 of Form I-9 is otherwise valid and up-to-date and the form otherwise complies with
226184
47
Page 7 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
Article II.C.5, but reflects documentation (such as a U.S. passport or Form I-551) that expired after
completing Form I-9, the Employer shall not require the production of additional documentation, or use
the photo screening tool described in Article II.A.5, subject to any additional or superseding instructions
that may be provided on this subject in the E-Verify User Manual.
g. The Employer agrees not to require a second verification using E-Verify of any assigned
employee who has previously been verified as a newly hired employee under this MOU or to
authorize verification of any existing employee by any Employer that is not a Federal contractor
based on this Article.
3. The Employer understands that if it is a Federal contractor, its compliance with this MOU is a
performance requirement under the terms of the Federal contract or subcontract, and the Employer
consents to the release of information relating to compliance with its verification responsibilities under
this MOU to contracting officers or other officials authorized to review the Employer’s compliance with
Federal contracting requirements.
C. RESPONSIBILITIES OF SSA
1. SSA agrees to allow DHS to compare data provided by the Employer against SSA’s database. SSA
sends DHS confirmation that the data sent either matches or does not match the information in SSA’s
database.
2. SSA agrees to safeguard the information the Employer provides through E-Verify procedures. SSA
also agrees to limit access to such information, as is appropriate by law, to individuals responsible for
the verification of Social Security numbers or responsible for evaluation of E-Verify or such other
persons or entities who may be authorized by SSA as governed by the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a),
the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1306(a)), and SSA regulations (20 CFR Part 401).
3. SSA agrees to provide case results from its database within three Federal Government work days of
the initial inquiry. E-Verify provides the information to the Employer.
4. SSA agrees to update SSA records as necessary if the employee who contests the SSA tentative
nonconfirmation visits an SSA field office and provides the required evidence. If the employee visits an
SSA field office within the eight Federal Government work days from the date of referral to SSA, SSA
agrees to update SSA records, if appropriate, within the eight-day period unless SSA determines that
more than eight days may be necessary. In such cases, SSA will provide additional instructions to the
employee. If the employee does not visit SSA in the time allowed, E-Verify may provide a final
nonconfirmation to the employer.
Note: If an Employer experiences technical problems, or has a policy question, the employer should
contact E-Verify at 1-888-464-4218.
D. RESPONSIBILITIES OF DHS
1. DHS agrees to provide the Employer with selected data from DHS databases to enable the
Employer to conduct, to the extent authorized by this MOU:
a. Automated verification checks on alien employees by electronic means, and
226184
48
Page 8 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
b. Photo verification checks (when available) on employees.
2. DHS agrees to assist the Employer with operational problems associated with the Employer's
participation in E-Verify. DHS agrees to provide the Employer names, titles, addresses, and telephone
numbers of DHS representatives to be contacted during the E-Verify process.
3. DHS agrees to provide to the Employer with access to E-Verify training materials as well as an
E-Verify User Manual that contain instructions on E-Verify policies, procedures, and requirements for
both SSA and DHS, including restrictions on the use of E-Verify.
4. DHS agrees to train Employers on all important changes made to E-Verify through the use of
mandatory refresher tutorials and updates to the E-Verify User Manual. Even without changes to
E-Verify, DHS reserves the right to require employers to take mandatory refresher tutorials.
5. DHS agrees to provide to the Employer a notice, which indicates the Employer's participation in
E-Verify. DHS also agrees to provide to the Employer anti-discrimination notices issued by the Office of
Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices (OSC), Civil Rights Division,
U.S. Department of Justice.
6. DHS agrees to issue each of the Employer’s E-Verify users a unique user identification number and
password that permits them to log in to E-Verify.
7. DHS agrees to safeguard the information the Employer provides, and to limit access to such
information to individuals responsible for the verification process, for evaluation of E-Verify, or to such
other persons or entities as may be authorized by applicable law. Information will be used only to verify
the accuracy of Social Security numbers and employment eligibility, to enforce the INA and Federal
criminal laws, and to administer Federal contracting requirements.
8. DHS agrees to provide a means of automated verification that provides (in conjunction with SSA
verification procedures) confirmation or tentative nonconfirmation of employees' employment eligibility
within three Federal Government work days of the initial inquiry.
9. DHS agrees to provide a means of secondary verification (including updating DHS records) for
employees who contest DHS tentative nonconfirmations and photo mismatch tentative
nonconfirmations. This provides final confirmation or nonconfirmation of the employees' employment
eligibility within 10 Federal Government work days of the date of referral to DHS, unless DHS
determines that more than 10 days may be necessary. In such cases, DHS will provide additional
verification instructions.
ARTICLE III
REFERRAL OF INDIVIDUALS TO SSA AND DHS
A. REFERRAL TO SSA
1. If the Employer receives a tentative nonconfirmation issued by SSA, the Employer must print the
notice as directed by E-Verify. The Employer must promptly notify employees in private of the finding
and provide them with the notice and letter containing information specific to the employee’s E-Verify
226184

against employees if they choose to contest the finding, while their case is still pending.
2. The Employer agrees to obtain the employee’s response about whether he or she will contest the
tentative nonconfirmation as soon as possible after the Employer receives the tentative
nonconfirmation. Only the employee may determine whether he or she will contest the tentative
nonconfirmation.
3. After a tentative nonconfirmation, the Employer will refer employees to SSA field offices only as
directed by E-Verify. The Employer must record the case verification number, review the employee
information submitted to E-Verify to identify any errors, and find out whether the employee contests the
tentative nonconfirmation. The Employer will transmit the Social Security number, or any other
corrected employee information that SSA requests, to SSA for verification again if this review indicates
a need to do so.
4. The Employer will instruct the employee to visit an SSA office within eight Federal Government work
days. SSA will electronically transmit the result of the referral to the Employer within 10 Federal
Government work days of the referral unless it determines that more than 10 days is necessary.

updates.
6. The Employer agrees not to ask the employee to obtain a printout from the Social Security
Administration number database (the Numident) or other written verification of the SSN from the SSA.
B. REFERRAL TO DHS
1. If the Employer receives a tentative nonconfirmation issued by DHS, the Employer must promptly
notify employees in private of the finding and provide them with the notice and letter containing
information specific to the employee’s E-Verify case. The Employer also agrees to provide both the
English and the translated notice and letter for employees with limited English proficiency to
employees. The Employer must allow employees to contest the finding, and not take adverse action
against employees if they choose to contest the finding, while their case is still pending.
2. The Employer agrees to obtain the employee’s response about whether he or she will contest the
tentative nonconfirmation as soon as possible after the Employer receives the tentative
nonconfirmation. Only the employee may determine whether he or she will contest the tentative
nonconfirmation.
3. The Employer agrees to refer individuals to DHS only when the employee chooses to contest a
tentative nonconfirmation.
4. If the employee contests a tentative nonconfirmation issued by DHS, the Employer will instruct the
226184
50

Company ID Number:
employee to contact DHS through its toll-free hotline (as found on the referral letter) within eight
Federal Government work days.
5. If the Employer finds a photo mismatch, the Employer must provide the photo mismatch tentative
nonconfirmation notice and follow the instructions outlined in paragraph 1 of this section for tentative
nonconfirmations, generally.
6. The Employer agrees that if an employee contests a tentative nonconfirmation based upon a photo
mismatch, the Employer will send a copy of the employee’s Form I-551, Form I-766, U.S. Passport, or
passport card to DHS for review by:
a. Scanning and uploading the document, or
b. Sending a photocopy of the document by express mail (furnished and paid for by the employer).

8. DHS will electronically transmit the result of the referral to the Employer within 10 Federal
Government work days of the referral unless it determines that more than 10 days is necessary.
9. While waiting for case results, the Employer agrees to check the E-Verify system regularly for case
updates.
ARTICLE IV
SERVICE PROVISIONS
A. NO SERVICE FEES

Employer is responsible for providing equipment needed to make inquiries. To access E-Verify, an
Employer will need a personal computer with Internet access.
ARTICLE V
MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION
A. MODIFICATION
1. This MOU is effective upon the signature of all parties and shall continue in effect for as long as the
SSA and DHS operates the E-Verify program unless modified in writing by the mutual consent of all
parties.
2. Any and all E-Verify system enhancements by DHS or SSA, including but not limited to E-Verify
checking against additional data sources and instituting new verification policies or procedures, will be
covered under this MOU and will not cause the need for a supplemental MOU that outlines these
changes.
226184
51

Company ID Number:
B. TERMINATION
1. The Employer may terminate this MOU and its participation in E-Verify at any time upon 30 days
prior written notice to the other parties.
2. Notwithstanding Article V, part A of this MOU, DHS may terminate this MOU, and thereby the
Employer’s participation in E-Verify, with or without notice at any time if deemed necessary because of
the requirements of law or policy, or upon a determination by SSA or DHS that there has been a breach
of system integrity or security by the Employer, or a failure on the part of the Employer to comply with
established E-Verify procedures and/or legal requirements. The Employer understands that if it is a
Federal contractor, termination of this MOU by any party for any reason may negatively affect the
performance of its contractual responsibilities. Similarly, the Employer understands that if it is in a state
where E-Verify is mandatory, termination of this by any party MOU may negatively affect the
Employer’s business.
3. An Employer that is a Federal contractor may terminate this MOU when the Federal contract that
requires its participation in E-Verify is terminated or completed. In such cases, the Federal contractor
must provide written notice to DHS. If an Employer that is a Federal contractor fails to provide such
notice, then that Employer will remain an E-Verify participant, will remain bound by the terms of this
MOU that apply to non-Federal contractor participants, and will be required to use the E-Verify
procedures to verify the employment eligibility of all newly hired employees.
4. The Employer agrees that E-Verify is not liable for any losses, financial or otherwise, if the Employer
is terminated from E-Verify.
ARTICLE VI
PARTIES

SSA and DHS may adjust verification responsibilities between each other as necessary. By separate
agreement with DHS, SSA has agreed to perform its responsibilities as described in this MOU.

or procedural, enforceable at law by any third party against the United States, its agencies, officers, or
employees, or against the Employer, its agents, officers, or employees.
C. The Employer may not assign, directly or indirectly, whether by operation of law, change of control or
merger, all or any part of its rights or obligations under this MOU without the prior written consent of
DHS, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any attempt to sublicense, assign,
or transfer any of the rights, duties, or obligations herein is void.
D. Each party shall be solely responsible for defending any claim or action against it arising out of or
related to E-Verify or this MOU, whether civil or criminal, and for any liability wherefrom, including (but
not limited to) any dispute between the Employer and any other person or entity regarding the
applicability of Section 403(d) of IIRIRA to any action taken or allegedly taken by the Employer.
E. The Employer understands that its participation in E-Verify is not confidential information and may be
disclosed as authorized or required by law and DHS or SSA policy, including but not limited to,
