07/14/2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Recommendation to approve the selection committee’s ranking for Request for Professional Services (“RPS”) No. 20-7710, “Plantation Island Waterways Post-Hurricane Irma Restoration Pre-Design Study,” and authorize staff to begin contract negotiations with the top-ranked firm, Atkins North America, Inc. OBJECTIVE: To obtain professional services for surveying, mapping, Preliminary Engineering Design, and Environmental Assessment related to the post-Hurricane Irma restoration of the waterways of Plantation Island in Collier County, Florida. CONSIDERATIONS: Plantation Island is a census-designated rural community located southeast of Everglades City in Collier County with approximately 2 miles of man-made and natural waterways. The waterways serve as stormwater conveyance and some navigability to the Barron River and neighboring tidal waters. In 2017, the severe winds and storm surges of Hurricane Irma deposited heavy amounts of vegetative debris and silt throughout the canal system leading to degradation of the water quality and usable condition of the waterways of the community. The Florida Legislature has appropriated funding through House Bill 3187 in FY2019-20 budget for pre-design and environmental evaluation studies to assess the structural and ecological conditions of the canals to determine the best course of action for prioritized restoration of the waterways. On March 4, 2020, the Procurement Services Division issued a notice for RPS No. 20-7710, Plantation Island Waterways Pre-Design Study. The County notified 31,956 firms, 132 interested companies downloaded the solicitation documents, and staff received four proposals by the April 3, 2020, submission deadline.

We anxiously watched an ever-changing forecast cone shift from the east to the Gulf Coast. The storm brushed Hispaniola before making a northerly turn. Everyone from the Keys to Tampa was on high alert, and many of us evacuated. The storm eventually made final landfall near Marco Island on September 10 as a Cat. 3. Although the impact was bad, there was some relief knowing that we were spared the devastation seen in the Virgin Islands and Keys. That said, winds speeds were recorded at 120 mph in Collier County. And while places such as Cudjoe Key and the Virgin Islands received national news coverage accompanied by dramatic photos, residents in small communities such as Plantation Island were wading through town to salvage personal belongings. Hurricane Irma left significant damage in its wake on Plantation Island. The community was particularly vulnerable to windstorms because of zoning regulations that only permitted modular homes and RVs for housing. Local news coverage shared photos of residents shoveling mud from their driveways and aerials of debris strewn about. The waterways surrounding the community serve two important primary functions: 1. Provide stormwater drainage 2. Serve as navigable waterways The passing of Hurricane Irma impacted both primary functions, resulting in a reduction in overall water quality and navigability. Because both factors have direct environmental, health, and economic impacts to the residents of Plantation Island, we recognize that the path to recovery for such a community is a long road. Through our ongoing work in Puerto Rico, Mexico Beach, and USVI on FEMA rebuild projects, we understand the challenges of restoring waterways particularly well. We also recently completed a Marine Debris Removal Lessons-Learned report for FDEP. Atkins provides Collier County with a highly experienced group of engineers and scientists in the areas of waterway management and engineering. Supported by discipline-specific professionals in dredging, coastal engineering, water resources & infrastructure, sciences, and survey, our team is well equipped to provide timely, responsive services to Collier County. The enclosed qualifications highlight our experience and in-house capabilities. Our team includes two specialty sub-consultants to expand our resource depth to include bathymetric survey and geotechnical investigations. The proposed Atkins team has previously worked with Collier County supporting several similar projects. Weir replacements at Haldeman Creek and Pine Ridge Canal were successful projects for our water group. Our team has also been servicing your coastal protection projects for years, and our sciences group routinely works within the Everglades National Park. The Plantation Island project presents an opportunity to combine our science, water, and coastal skillsets ATKINS, A MEMBER OF THE SNC-LAVALIN GROUP COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS RPS NO. 20-7710 2 for Collier County into a single work effort, something for which we are making a name for ourselves our clients across the State. Dredging for environmental restoration is what we do, and we take great pride in being industry leaders and innovators in this important work. Our proposed team has collective experience on over 100 individual dredging projects and has recently been receiving industry recognition. Articles about notable Atkins dredge work have appeared recently in publications such as The Waterway Journal, Dredging and Port Construction, and World Dredging Magazine. Our team has also been the recent recipient of domestic and internal awards from International Association of Dredge Companies (IADC), American Shore and Beaches Preservation Association (ASBPA), Florida Institute of Consulting Engineers (FICE), and Western Dredging Association (WEDA). These awards and articles, all within the last 5 years, reflect our outstanding contribution on marine and waterway restoration projects. Our proposed project manager, Mark Erwin, PE, CFM, has worked with Collier County for many years and will be your primary point of contact on this project. With his proven track record of successful delivery, we are confident Mark has earned your trust. Mark will be supported by dedicated team leaders: Mark Stroik, Shelby Riffey, Justin Bartusek, PE, and Don Deis, CEP. This team will be supplemented by Atkins’ nationwide network of professionals with specialties in sciences, water quality, and engineering. The steps taken by the County to rezone Plantation Island and solicit grant funding to restore the waterways are critically important to the community’s longevity. We fully support both measures and are enthusiastic about this opportunity to support this Waterway Restoration project, which will pave the way to restore functional, recreational, and economic service to the waterfront community.

However, Atkins looks forward to the opportunity to provide Collier County with the support of our talented coastal engineering team. Originating from our civil engineering group, our coastal engineering team was developed during our 12-year tenure serving as the coastal engineering consultant for the state of Florida. Since its inception, Atkins’ coastal engineering team has provided invaluable support to clients for more than 19 years. Our team has worked on all project types in the coastal engineering field, ranging from large- to small-scale for clients at the federal and state levels to small communities. Our coastal engineering team contains the following four core focus groups: Coastal Engineering Dredge Consulting Coastal Modeling Coastal Resiliency Our capabilities, combined with those of our subconsultants, makes Atkins an excellent choice for the Plantation Island Waterways Pre-Design and Environmental Assessment Study. Our team is experienced in all facets of the project, and we have every confidence we can meet Collier County’s project objectives with technical excellence. What sets our team apart is our collaborative approach to projects in the coastal environment. Throughout the design process, Atkins continually evaluates the intersection of engineering, science, and constructability to ensure projects are of sound design, maintain the highest environmental stewardship, and are grounded in achievable results. Our capabilities in the areas of service requested by the RPS are touched on below, followed by an introduction to several work examples that illustrate our experience with projects of similar size, scope and complexity. Survey and mapping Atkins and Oceanside staff have been collaborating on dredging projects in Florida since 2011. Oceanside owns and operates a fleet of shallow-water survey vessels equipped with cutting-edge equipment. Atkins and Oceanside’s collaboration in mapping underlying bottoms beneath soft sediments is particularly notable. The team is regionally recognized as leaders in subbottom profiling on residential canal projects. Oceanside operates a fleet of shallow-draft hydrographic vessels with the most advanced equipment available today. A recent notable fleet addition is a 14-foot aluminum channel-hull vessel. With its short length and light weight, it is exceptionally maneuverable in tight residential canals and draws only 6-inches of water, making it a tailored-fit for residential canal survey. Oceanside also has in-house geotechnical sampling and sub-bottom mapping capabilities that will be particularly useful on this project. Perhaps the most telling statistic for Oceanside's capabilities is their client list, which includes the top dredging firms in the United States. It is well-known that dredgers are the most discerning users of hydro data, and Oceanside is a go-to firm for some of the most difficult and fast-paced projects in the nation. Oceanside’s team will supplement Atkins’ dredging staff and industry experience to receive, process, and interpret the data collected throughout the project. Environmental evaluation and permitting feasibility Atkins scientists routinely perform environmental assessments both above water and below. Collier County has witnessed the success of our terrestrial and wetland scientists by virtue of the public infrastructure projects we’ve completed. In addition, Atkins has a scientific dive team that operates under the auspices of the American Academy of Underwater Scientists (AAUS). Atkins dive team members are well versed in the assessment, survey, and mapping of submerged resources in both the marine and estuarine environments. Our team members for this proposal include both terrestrial and underwater scientists to address the requirements for vegetative mapping above and below water as well as benthic surveys. ATKINS, A MEMBER OF THE SNC-LAVALIN GROUP COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS RPS NO. 20-7710 9 The foundation of our regulatory expertise stems from our tenure as coastal engineering consultant for FDEP. Through this 12-year experience, Atkins staff gained an unparalleled level of regulatory expertise. Our staff spent years embedded in FDEP offices as contracted staff, processing Environmental Resource Permits (ERP), Joint Coastal Permits (JCP), and Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL) permits for every type of setting across the state. We are intimately familiar with the Florida Statutes and Administrative Codes governing coastal construction, and we developed lasting relationships with FDEP and USACE staff, as well as associated wildlife protection and commenting entities (FWC, FWS, NMFS, SHPO, etc.). This experience has been a distinct advantage for Atkins’ clients, evidenced by the fact that we’ve never received more than one request for additional information (RAI) on any permit application we’ve filed on behalf of our coastal clients. Atkins professionals attribute our permitting success to one very basic, but critically important philosophy: be open and transparent, while communicating early and often. We believe in starting a conversation with agencies at the earliest stage possible to avoid taking anyone by surprise. When a pre-application meeting is scheduled, regulatory authorities already have a solid understanding of the activity proposed. As such, the pre-app meeting can be tailored to focus on issues that drive decision making and, ultimately, to favorable agency action. We understand the permitting process like no other; our permitting success reflects the high level of mutual respect and trust Atkins has with regulatory staff. Our team includes water quality experts in the areas of stormwater, water quality and nutrient loads, and hydrology and hydraulics (H&H). Areas such as Plantation Island often experience degraded water quality due to lack of or disruption to flow and circulation. Creative solutions to improve water quality can be developed through modeling. Atkins’ numeric modeling experts are highly experienced in engineering design optimization and development of alternative design configurations to create “what if” scenarios, particularly in the marine and estuarine environments. Numeric modeling can provide an efficient means to inform decision making. Atkins modelers are proficient in a comprehensive suite of numerical modeling systems for simulation of hydrodynamics, waves, morphology, mixing, and constituent transport; these programs include ADCIRC, STWAVE, SWAN, PTM, SBEACH, Delft3D, RMA2, and TUFLOW. Engineering design and dredging restoration plan When it comes to developing creative approaches to overcome project challenges, genuine dredge expertise matters. The coastal engineering industry is comprised of many professional engineers with master’s and doctoral degrees who have followed the well-worn path for coastal project designs. Atkins contends that what truly qualifies an engineering staff to design waterways and dredging projects is a combination of education, accreditation, and dredging experience. The dredge experience path—the one less traveled by coastal engineers—is a key differentiator for the Atkins team. Understanding equipment capabilities and needs from a contractor’s perspective ensures that our project designs are constructible. The deep understanding of the dredging process that our team possesses allows us to visualize how material is transformed between the dredge cut and the placement site (both physically and volumetrically). The combination of traditional design qualifications with genuine dredging expertise gained in the field separates the Atkins team in being uniquely qualified to imagine buildable solutions for the most challenging projects. Section 2 of this proposal highlights several Atkins projects, relevant to the proposed project, whose successes reflect the expertise described above. Although Atkins’ coastal bench is deep, the addition of Oceanside Solutions and GCGE to our team brings additional economic value and core service capabilities. Our comprehensive team offers Collier County a wide range of experience that is uniquely Atkins. 1.5 Resumes of Key Personnel The following pages provide abbreviated resumes of our key personnel, highlighting project experience most relevant to the Plantation Island Waterways Study.

This boating community lies at the confluence of the Myakka and Peace Rivers which empty into Charlotte Harbor. Locals enjoy a site which is bordered by thousands of acres of protected wetlands and which has a short run to the infamous Boca Grande Pass and Gulf of Mexico. Waterway management in the Manchester community is accomplished via a Multiple Source Benefit Unit (MSBU), whereby a group of community members direct County staff on projects. MBSU members must manage available budgets and competing interests, with the added pressure that these elements belong to their neighbors. MSBU-managed projects include a mash-up of dredge work, navigation aid, and flow improvement projects nestled with several permits. Atkins has been assisting Charlotte County and the Manchester MSBU with maintenance of the waterway since 2015. Our initial task was to design another one-off navigation project to address a perceived draft restriction. After engagement with our initial task, it became quite clear that a secondary task was required to focus perceptions, clean up some previous work, and complete work with the future in mind. After recognizing the need for redirection, Atkins worked with County staff to: › Implement an alternate survey strategy. › Demonstrate capacity to combine projects. › Complete a dredging plan for the waterway. › Prepare a scheme for upland material handling and disposal. › Develop a beneficial use strategy to utilize dredged material for anoxic habitat restoration. › Establish channel control in areas where it had been lost. › Create a navigation aid inventory and recommend improvements. › Procure the necessary authorizations to complete the enhanced work plan. They say that the squeaky wheel gets the grease; a notion that is particularly true for special benefit and taxing units. Atkins’ work at Manchester is realigning the gears for the Manchester Waterway and providing some lubricant that quiets squeaks. We are pleased to report that an enhanced project is moving forward in the Summer of 2020. The work will include dredging along 19 miles of channel with a mix of in-water beneficial use and upland disposal. Our efforts at Manchester have helped our client realize the grand-slam: a better project that saves money, is completed on time, meets the objectives of all stakeholders, and paves the way for future work.

These problems have been attributed to elevated levels of nutrients in the water column and the presence of large deposits of muck containing high concentrations of nutrients have been identified as key contributors. Efforts to remove this muck are underway and Brevard County is significantly bolstering these efforts through a recently implemented ten-year $300M restoration plan that includes $200M allotted for muck removal. This identifies more than five million cubic yards of muck targeted for removal through the ten-year program. Of that, Atkins is the engineering consultant for three projects totaling approximately 1.5 million cubic yards of targeted muck removal at an estimated combined construction cost of $65M. Atkins began assisting Brevard County with their muck removal efforts in 2014 and continues to do so with involvement in several projects at various stages of completion. The services provided range from preliminary planning through construction and includes the following: › Preliminary investigation to identify and quantify muck deposits through hydrographic surveys, muck depth probes, sediment sampling and analysis, and environmental resource identification. › Development of dredge templates and construction plans to allow for the maximum removal of muck while avoiding impacts to environmental resources and adjacent docks and seawalls. › Design of dredge material management areas for processing the dredged muck through both traditional settling ponds and mechanical dewatering equipment. Recently, requirements to remove nutrients from the dewatering effluent prior to discharge back to the Indian River Lagoon have been implemented. › Obtain regulatory permitting approvals through Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC), US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and US Coast Guard (USCG). › Preparation of bid documents and assistance with bidding and contractor selection. › Assist with construction oversight, including; construction observation, construction meeting facilitation, pay application review, shop drawing review, requests for additional information, and permitting compliance.

Because the traditional solution for mitigation would have involved the purchase of costly on-site stormwater management facilities, Atkins was hired to identify alternative (less expensive) solutions. One the alternatives involved a modification to the Courtney Campbell Causeway (CCC), which bisects the northern portion of the Bay. Our hydrodynamic modeling staff carried out a study with the aid of Delft3D modeling software, demonstrating how the proposed modifications could increase water exchange with greater Tampa Bay and improve water quality and seagrass suitability. The State agreed with the results and the alternative was ultimately selected. Based on preliminary estimates, this project will save taxpayers as much as $100 million versus the traditional approach. The project received an Outstanding Environmental Project Award from the Florida Institute of Consulting Engineers (FICE) in 2017. Model results indicated that within the area of concern, a 200-foot bridge opening through the CCC reduces residence time (defined as the amount of time needed to reach 50% of initial concentration) of the northeast portion of OTB from about three days to about one day. As a result, the increased tidal flushing in the areas north of the CCC due to the bridge opening is expected to improve the conditions that have likely caused the reduction of seagrass meadows in that area. This will improve the overall water quality in this portion of OTB and provide substantial cost savings to the FDOT by eliminating the traditional stormwater pond approach to treatment.

Historically salt/brackish marsh habitats, the Refuge was diked and managed as freshwater impoundments starting in the early 1980s. Several shoreline breaches due to storm impacts, most recently Superstorm Sandy, allowed saltwater intrusion along with loss of habitat. With the acquisition of relief funds from Superstorm Sandy, Atkins was hired by the USFWS to develop restoration alternatives that would return circulation to pre-impoundment conditions. Atkins engineers and scientists helped determine the repairs and changes necessary to make that possible. A hydrodynamic and numerical model of the Refuge and adjacent bay region was created using Delft3D, chosen for its ability to account for the effects of tides, wind, waves, and fresh and salt water mixing. Model results were used to identify the scenarios which maximized conditions favorable for saltmarsh habitat restoration and growth. With assistance from USFWS and Atkins scientists, model results were used in combination with the coastal engineering analysis to identify the preferred alternative for modifying and managing the Refuge under the new environmental regime post-Sandy. The solution involved repairing the breached shoreline and restoring/creating a network of interior channels based on historical flow pathways. The project balanced science and engineering inputs with constructability parameters and is a model solution to coastal erosion due to climate change for any coastal areas of the U.S. It’s a template for habitat restoration and flood- proofing cities and coastal development in the face of sea-level rise, incorporating sustainable design into natural and manmade features. This ideal solution to coastal erosion and habitat restoration received an Environmental Excellence Award from the World Organization of Dredging Associations (WODA) in 2016. The beach project was awarded a Best Restored Beaches of 2017 by the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association (ASBPA). Atkins had three partner firms on this project. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers inherited our beach design for the 1.5 million CY beach restoration phase. Stantec worked under subcontract to Atkins to perform independent quality assurance work. Finally, Amec Foster Wheeler (now Wood) worked alongside our team in an administrative role during construction.

Atkins reviewed several alternatives during development of the basis of design report (BODR). In addition, the team conducted a study to evaluate the effects of various sea level rise (SLR) scenarios on weir gate operations, based on available existing stage level gage data and the scenario horizons. The final design incorporated a weir sill elevation that provided extra flood protection from SLR effects for hundreds of homes. In addition to providing a tidal barrier and salinity barrier for Haldeman Creek and maximizing flood control for upstream properties, the weir structure was designed for easy operations and maintenance by County staff. Atkins economized the permitting of this project through research and successful negotiation of a minor compliance-modification of the existing SFWMD ERP permit. This included ecological review of site conditions, engineering calculations demonstrating no adverse change in hydrological characteristics, and meeting with SFWMD staff. As a result, SFWMD authorized the ERP 35 days after submittal of the application package, with no request for additional information (RAI). Atkins also obtained the dewatering permit for construction of the project with no RAI less than 30 days after application submittal. Our successful approach on these permits enabled Collier County to let and construct the project in a short time frame, with no permitting delays.

Project Approach The Atkins team proposed here has extensive experience in all necessary elements required to link a waterway restoration and drainage improvement project that simultaneously enhances water quality, stormwater performance, and navigability. The key to success on such projects is focusing multiple disciplines towards a targeted objective and project outcome. Our deputy project manager, Mark Stroik, has led the charge on many Atkins dredge projects and will be the technical lead on Plantation Island. The organizational chart presented in Section 1 provides a snapshot of our proposed staff for the project. Although it’s not expected, additional staffing resources are available if needed. The following dialogue briefly describes the primary elements and project controls. Data collection and management Shelby Riffey, EIT (TX) will lead all data collection efforts. Data collection begins with proper planning to target data context and manage sequencing. Survey plans will be developed for each element to ensure field efforts are maximized within the available budget. The project schedule is sufficient to allow for strategic sequencing in data collection and will help keep cost in check. The Atkins team is experienced in the types of survey required for the project. The team is on the cutting-edge of technology and have an industry-leading ability to efficiently and thoroughly map canals laden with fine sediments and debris. Our advanced capabilities in hydrographic survey and sub-bottom mapping are noteworthy differentiators. Hydrographic survey Survey will begin with a low-cost investigatory effort. We have a wide range of techniques and technology at our disposal and will utilize the investigatory survey to select an efficient approach for such a detailed effort. Employing a method that can estimate the type and volume of debris present will be a critical component. A combination of multibeam and dual-frequency single beam surveys will yield a best value for the project. Geotechnical investigations The geotechnical investigation phase will classify material and help establish historical channel dimensions. A classic geotechnical sampling plan is a good start for investigative purposes and will provide the information needed for material testing and shoaled depth for at a single point. As the channels at Plantation Island were likely established with mechanical dredging equipment, the underlying and original channel is likely to have an undulating surface. We commonly encounter areas with deep pockets or hidden shelves in residential canals and have developed remote-sensing methods that reliably map the hidden “virgin-cut” floor below. The work requires a combination of traditional geotech and advanced hydrographic survey techniques. Our proposed team is one of a very few in Florida with the equipment and expertise to conduct subbottom surveys in residential canals. The resulting work product is far superior in quality, schedule, and cost compared with probing. Baseline water quality Establishing baseline water quality conditions is a critical step in quantifying overall project performance and streamlining permit processes. Roland Samimy, Ph.D., an industry leader in this area, will oversee our work after the survey and geotech phases are complete. A series of instruments will be installed at select locations to measure constituents of interest including tide, salinity, and dissolved oxygen. Sediment nutrient flux estimates for phosphorus and nitrogen output may also be estimated to quantify total nutrient load reduction from the proposed excavation. Data management Because data inputs from survey, environmental, and design groups will be continuous, thoughtful data management will be key to efficiency. All incoming data will be stored in a common and shareable GIS project database. The GIS Dynamic shoaling via multibeam survey Manchester Canal, Charlotte Co. ATKINS, A MEMBER OF THE SNC-LAVALIN GROUP COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS RPS NO.: 20-7710 33 project database will be continuoally evolving throughout the project and will serve as a warehouse for relevant information for the life cycle of the project. Finally, data formats will be controlled to allow for seamless transition between GIS and CAD drafting software, helping to eliminate redundant processing work. Natural resources and permitting Don Deis, CEP, will serve as our lead scientist and will pull from our large group of marine and terrestrial sciences staff. This includes the Atkins scientific dive team, a group of roughly 15 staff and accredited by the American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS). The objective of the natural resource and permit team will be to drive toward a recommended permitting plan that can be used as a decision tool for project advancement. Environmental survey The environmental survey work will begin with a desktop review of listed species of interest and habitats for the project area. A follow-up investigatory environmental survey would follow, which will feed into the conceptual design before agency consultation. After agency consult, a final environmental survey plan will be developed, and detailed data gathered. The early agency involvement strategy promotes efficient production by way of eliminating unnecessary work and mitigating chances for rework. Regulatory coordination Responsible agencies on this project include FDEP, U.S. Army Corps (USACE), U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and National Park Service (NPS). Appropriately classification as a restoration project for environmental enhancement will aid in the overall process. In the best-case scenario, the project may qualify for exemption status to restore original dimensions. The subbottom survey described above will be critical to potentially qualifying for exempt status. Increasing project elements or impacts complicate the process, but all possibilities remain achievable and within the expertise of our team. A comprehensive agency matrix accompanying the final report will outline the necessary steps to fully permit the project. Design and engineering Justin Bartusek, PE, will serve as our lead designer on the project. Justin works within our coastal engineering practice and is a member of the dredging services group. Although his primary career focus is on dredging projects, he frequently collaborates with, and will have access to the available resources of, our marine structures and water infrastructure teams. The design team will follow a classic engineering approach with the traditional stopping points. The logic outlined in the RPS scope is sound, and we will plan to deliver as outlined. One additional element to be addressed is dredge material placement or disposal. Dredge material fate is often a controlling factor and requires early attention. Possibilities range from traditional upland disposal to beneficial use and habitat creation. Moving beyond the traditional technical components, our design approach will maintain two underlying pillars throughout their work: design it to be permittable and constructible. Permittability The integration of science during engineering is a key ingredient in achieving permittability. Seamless coordination with our environmental and permitting staff is the norm on Atkins dredging work. Our scientists will participate in design and our engineers will assist with resource identification. This overlap is somewhat unique to marine work, and is a necessary byproduct of the environments we work in. Permit schedule and decision matrix: Biscayne Bay Utility Crossing ATKINS, A MEMBER OF THE SNC-LAVALIN GROUP COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS RPS NO.: 20-7710 34 Constructability For constructability reviews, the engineering team will rely on in-house industry expertise. Namely, several members of our dredging services group were previously employed as field managers for a leading domestic dredging company. Their “real-world” experience will aid in early detection of costly design errors. Final phase – optimization Optimization has varied meanings for each user and varied impacts on each project budget. This vague term can lead to schedule and financial creep, if not managed appropriately. That said, our preliminary analysis of the advertised schedule and budget confirms that both are ample. After the initial surveys and dredging designs are complete, opportunities to increase hydraulic efficiency of the system will be apparent to achieve maximum water quality and biodiversity benefits. Mark Erwin, PE, CFM, will lead the final work phase with a focus on water quality improvement, drawing upon the full complement of expertise available from our scientists, engineers, and specialists. Our coastal modeling staff has extensive experience on similar projects and will employ the use of Delft-3D modeling software to test alternatives that may decrease residence time and increase flushing in the canals. Hydrodynamic modeling Tidal volumes through the Chokoloskee Bridge & Causeway and seasonal flows down the Barron River potentially dominate flushing capacity for the wider system at Plantation Island. The canals currently appear to function as a loop system, without a strong flushing connection to either waterbody. Additional data collection efforts would be required to test whatever hypothesis exists. An expansion of bathymetric data and a short-duration flow study via Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP) will be likely additions. After all inputs are collected, the model will be configured and validated through ACDP measurements. Once validated, alternate scenarios to simulate various connections and alternate dredge designs will be possible via individual model runs. A round-robin sequence of conceive-model-predict will be performed for final optimization. Cost control and discipline will be critical in this phase to avoid budget overruns caused by excessive alternative testing. Pre-design report and delivery After optimization is complete, a pre-design report will be compiled. The report will focus on fulfilling requirements of the grant agreement and providing a basis of design ready for future implementation. The report will include a 30% set of design drawings suitable to proceed directly into the permitting phase. The GIS database, environmental surveys, and all other associated data will be assembled in a comprehensive project file. Our dredging and construction estimators will develop a detailed construction cost, and our permitting and PM staff will develop future permit and engineering costs. Project recommendations and schedules will be provided as well. Using this approach, final delivery could be accomplished through a number of methods, ranging from electronic transmittal to a stakeholder presentation or engagement.

We have achieved this reputation by “doing it right the first time.” Atkins brings a demonstrated commitment to seek ways to reduce County staff effort and improve efficiencies, deliver a quality product the first time, manage the budget, and apply cost-effective tools and processes to minimize delivery time and save money. Atkins commits to continue providing responsive, high quality personal service and attention to the County, while taking advantage of the additional experience and expertise of our resources statewide, nationwide, and even worldwide. Our goal will be to complete this project with the least possible expenditure of the County’s time and money. Mark Erwin, PE, CFM, our proposed project manager, will assign local professionals who share a deep-rooted commitment to the work as Florida residents and who have a strong passion for the work at hand. With submission of this proposal, our team commits to provide the necessary resources—both technical and managerial—to deliver a quality project while meeting—or surpassing—County schedule and budget expectations. Although the County’s anticipated 11-month schedule for this design appears appropriate, we believe the strength and directly relevant expertise of our team will enable us to beat this time frame. Project planning and schedule control As demonstrated on our numerous past projects for the County, Atkins is committed to meeting the County’s schedules. In fact, due to our significant depth, resources, and expertise, we are at times able to deliver ahead of schedule. Atkins will develop a master schedule with comprehensive project controls at the outset of work efforts. We will create a project task schedule that breaks down each phase of the work by task and by assignment. The schedule is reviewed and updated at each phase of the project to reflect actual progress and anticipated needs, which will help manage cost control. Atkins recognizes the importance of proper scheduling and schedule maintenance. Our adherence to work schedules is achieved through the proper planning, continuous monitoring, and follow-up action of experienced project personnel. Our process involves strictly following these guidelines: ›Maintaining a computer software-based project schedule for each task and subtask, including deadlines, milestones, deliverable due dates, and review points. ›Fostering frequent communication with County personnel to anticipate, identify, and resolve problems, and to smoothly implement adjustments in work focus or staff resources. ›Maintaining continuous interaction between the project manager, task managers, and project team members. Cost control Positive job control can best be achieved via the “DIMCA” process as follows: ›Define the desired results for each task. ›Input the appropriate instructions. ›Monitor the process. ›Compare production with the anticipated results. ›Adjust as necessary to achieve the desired results. Atkins will use our company-wide ORACLE accounting software to track and evaluate performance of individual assignments. This method of measuring and evaluating performance, utilizing our Earned Value Tracking tool, enhances our ability to identify potential trouble spots at an early stage and to predict any possible impacts on the project. We then use this information to guide our development of corrective actions. Beyond controlling the budget for assigned work efforts, Atkins also strives to assist clients in controlling the overall budget for project programs. As such, we advocate frequent updates of project cost estimates and early communication of any significant changes to the County. Dredging for environmental restoration is what we do. With no learning curve and applying the right technical expertise and lessons learned from recent similar projects, our team will provide significant cost and time savings for the County on this project. ATKINS, A MEMBER OF THE SNC-LAVALIN GROUP COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS RPS NO.: 20-7710 37 Staffing allocation and manpower planning Successful project delivery requires the assignment of staff with appropriate availability and expertise. While Atkins has a strong presence across Florida and nationwide, our greatest asset to the County is our local staff, most of whom are located between Miami and Sarasota. Mark Erwin, with the support of our principal-in-charge and task leads, will use his extensive knowledge of the County and Atkins staff capabilities to identify the most qualified professionals to complete the work for each project task. He will then use Atkins’ Manpower Planning software, in coordination with identified staff, to confirm appropriate availability of each team member for the duration of each work effort. Atkins’ Manpower Planning software is a Microsoft Access database program that tracks manpower projections on individual project and employee levels. The main purpose of the software is to maximize the utilization of staff. The program, which identifies project commitments on a monthly basis for each employee, accounts for overhead, holiday, and vacation activities. Our Manpower Planning software helps to identify staff members who are either overloaded or underloaded, thereby enabling our project managers to confirm appropriate project staffing to maintain scheduled commitments. Quality control A key component of Atkins’ ability to deliver projects on time and within budget is our belief that quality work products are more likely to be achieved when supported by quality management practices. By specific corporate policy, as detailed in our Quality Control and Assurance for projects (QCAP) manual, every project deliverable prepared by Atkins must undergo a quality control review to verify development in accordance with accepted standards of professional practice and with all requirements of the contract. Our commitment to quality is such that our proposed team includes a highly experienced quality manager whose sole job will be to assure that independent quality reviews are conducted, by appropriate personnel, for all work products. Shayne Paynter, Ph.D., PE, PG, will serve as quality manager for this project. Having served in this role on many stormwater projects at Atkins, Dr. Paynter has over 23 years of experience in the water resources field, including serving as project manager and/or senior water resource H&H engineer for numerous watershed management and water quality improvement projects throughout the region: ›Old Tampa Bay Coastal Circulation Improvement ›Cooper’s Point Coastal Circulation Improvement ›Celery Fields Stormwater Management Facility ›Duck Slough Drainage Improvements Atkins’ quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program sets forth standards for QC to be applied on projects by all services. Included are the following essential components: ›A project executive plan (PEP), which details all aspects of project quality, from scope of work and communication to quality control and documentation. ›Among the required elements of the PEP is a QC plan, either embedded in the PEP or as a stand-alone document. The QC plans includes technical reviewers assigned to specific project tasks, in addition to anticipated quality review dates. ›A kickoff meeting is held before work on any assignment or task begins. Communication of the PEP is the primary purpose of this meeting. ›Each task lead is responsible for QC of his or her assignment. This QC responsibility includes utilization of Atkins’ five step quality control review process. Atkins’ QCAP program provides senior-level technical guidance throughout a project, thereby increasing our ability to complete the work properly the first time. These processes focus energy onto areas in need of improvement, while promoting continual enhancement of all Atkins’ processes, services, and deliverables. Our primary goal is to make it easy for clients to select and reselect us by producing consistently excellent work within established budgets and schedules. ATKINS, A MEMBER OF THE SNC-LAVALIN GROUP COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS RPS NO.: 20-7710 38 Project reviews Atkins prioritizes meeting budget and schedule requirements while providing quality deliverables to clients. To meet these commitments, our project manager and project director will conduct regular review meetings to review and discuss the status of work on this project. These meetings will be conducted every 1 to 3 months, depending on the complexity of work in progress. In addition to reviewing all aspects of each task (financials, schedules, scope, resource allocation, quality audits, health and safety, etc.), mitigation plans will be developed as needed. For all tasks associated with this project, Michael Ryan, PE, PMP (our proposed principal-in-charge) will serve as the project director. Based on meeting outcomes, Mike has the authority to allocate staff from across the state to ensure that we meet the commitments made to the County. ATKINS, A MEMBER OF THE SNC-LAVALIN GROUP 4.0 Recent, Current, and Projected Workloads of the Firm ATKINS, A MEMBER OF THE SNC-LAVALIN GROUP COLLIER COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS RPS NO.: 20-7710 39 4. Recent, Current, and Projected Workloads of the Firm Current workload Atkins is fully committed to the successful completion of the Plantation Island Waterway Pre-Design and Environmental Assessment Study if selected for this project. Our current workload affords us the availability to successfully execute the scope of services for this project within the County’s 12-month schedule. We have analyzed critical path schedules, our proposed staff’s current and future workloads, and short- and long-term project assignments with our Manpower Planning software to confirm that our team has daily availability to begin work immediately. In fact, our current workload is far from full capacity; this fact, combined with our significant depth of resources, means the additional work associated with this contract will have no adverse effect on our ability to meet schedule and budget needs. Furthermore, our subconsultants have also analyzed their current and future workloads and have the availability to meet your schedule as well. Although, if at any time during project execution, unforeseen circumstances arise and additional personnel are required to complete project tasks, Atkins can augment our team by drawing on our employees from our offices throughout Florida who offer an array of engineering, environmental science, GIS, survey, and other relevant services. Our staff also offers expertise in disciplines that may not have been anticipated at the time of the procurement process. Our principal- in-charge, Mike Ryan, has appropriate authority and availability to monitor staff resources and allocate additional firmwide professionals as needed to meet established task deadlines. As noted above and depicted in Figure 1 on the following page, our team has sufficient availability to commit to this project. As one of the nation’s largest multidisciplinary consulting firms, Atkins offers core services in the areas of engineering, watershed master planning, floodplain mapping, stormwater design, environmental science, ecology, and information technologies. These comprehensive skills, combined with our commitment to client services, tenacity in meeting production schedules, and delivery of innovative solutions to difficult challenges, has earned our firm a reputation for excellence. As such, we are confident in our abilities to successfully complete the identified scope of services on time and on budget. Our project manager, Mark Erwin, PE, CFM, will continually coordinate with our proposed task leads and subconsultants to ensure the proper allocation of staff resources for all tasks. In addition, he will develop and distribute a project- specific work plan to the entire project team. This plan will detail the technical, administrative, and procedural requirements for each project task. Mark will also review and compare technical work progress with the planned schedule and allocated budget for each project task. Finally, along with serving as the County’s primary point of contact for our team, Mark will coordinate the right combination of service, schedule, budget, and solutions for this project. Mark has proven his commitment to the County by meeting established schedules on recent and similar County projects and assures that he will maintain such commitment throughout this project.

The Proposers will initially submit a qualifications proposal which will be scored based on the scoring criteria in the Scoring Criteria for Development of Shortlist, which will be the basis for short-listing no less than three (3) firms.The Proposers will need to meet the minimum requirements outlined herein in order for their proposal to be evaluated and scored by the COUNTY. The COUNTY will then issue an invitation for oral presentations (Step 2) to at least the top three short -listed firms and produce a final ranking for approval by the Board of County Commissioners. Upon approval, the County will enter into negotiations with the top ranked firms to establish cost for the services needed. With successful negotiations, a contract will be developed with the selected firm, based on the negotiated price and technical components. The COUNTY plans to include an allowance in the contract for items such as changes in scope and permit acquisition.1.2 The COUNTY will use a Selection Committee in the Request for Professional Services selection process.1.3 The intent of the Step 1 scoring of the qualifications proposal is for consultants to indicate their interest, relevant experience, financial capability, staffing and organizational structure.1.4 Based upon a review of these qualification proposals, the short -listed firms will be requested to submit Step 2, to make oral presentations.1.5 The scores from the RPS - Step 1 used for short -listing for this Project will not be carried forward for the Step 2 of this selection process.1.6 The intent of the Step 2 oral presentations is to provide the firms with a venue where they can conduct discussions with the Selection Committee to clarify questions and concerns before providing a final rank.1.7 After review of the Step 2 oral presentations, the COUNTY will rank the Proposers based on the discussion and clarifying questions on their approach and related criteria, and then negotiate in good faith an Agreement with the top ranked Proposer.1.8 If, in the sole judgment of the COUNTY, a contract cannot be successfully negotiated with the top -ranked firm, negotiations with that firm will be formally terminated and negotiations shall begin with the firm ranked second. If a contract cannot be successfully negotiated with the firm ranked second, negotiations with that firm will be formally terminated and negotiations shall begin with the third ranked firm, and so on. The COUNTY reserves the right to negotiate any element of the proposals in the best interest of the COUNTY.SCORING CRITERIA FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SHORTLIST:1.9 For the development of a shortlist, this evaluation criteria will be utilized by the COUNTY’S Selection Committee to score each proposal. Consultants are encouraged to keep their proposals concise and to include a minimum of marketing materials. Proposals must address the following criteria:Tie Breaker: In the event of a t ie at final ranking, award shall be made to the proposer with the lower volume of work previously awarded. Volume of work shall be calculated based upon total dollars paid to the proposer in the twenty -four (24) months prior to the RFP submittal deadline. Payment information will be retrieved from the County ’s financial system of record. The tie breaking procedure is only applied in the final ranking step of the selection process and is invoked by the Procurement Services Division Director or designee. In the event a tie still exists, selection will be determined based on random selection by the Procurement Services Director before at least three (3) witnesses.Each criterion and methodology for scoring is further described below.EVALUATION CRITERIA NO. 1: ABILITY OF PROFESSIONAL PERSONNEL (20 Total Points Available) This criterion measures the ability of professional team personnel as shown by their level of experience on projects of similar type, size and complexity.

The Consultant, at a minimum, must achieve the requirements of the Specifications or Scope of Work stated. This project scope will consist of professional services for Surveying, Mapping, Preliminary Engineering design and Environmental Assessment related to the post-Hurricane Irma restoration of the waterways of Plantation Island in Collier County, FL. A location map is attached as Exhibit “A”. BACKGROUND Plantation Island is a census-designated rural community located southeast of Everglades City in Collier County with approximately 2 miles of man-made and natural waterways. The waterways serve as stormwater conveyance and some navigability to the Barron River and neighboring tidal waters. In 2017, the severe winds and storm surges of Hurricane Irma deposited heavy amounts of vegetative debris and silt throughout the canal system leading to degradation of the water quality, and usable condition of the waterways of the community. The Florida State Legislature has appropriated funding through House Bill 3187 in FY2019-20 budget for pre-design and environmental evaluation studies to assess the structural and ecological conditions of the canals to determine the best course of action for prioritized restoration of the waterways. The objective of the contract is to perform pre-design studies consisting of : A. Surveying and Mapping of the natural and man-made canal system B. Environmental Evaluation with Fish and Wildlife survey for assessment of feasibility for restoration of the waterways. C. Preliminary Engineering Design of the Restored Canal system The chosen Consultant (hereinafter the “CONSULTANT”) will be tasked with development of a pre-design and environmental feasibility plan for restoration of the waterways of Plantation Island.
