Agenda 04/11/2023 Item #16A11 (Committee's ranking related to Request for Professional Services for "Design Services for Goodlette-Frank Road/Naples Zoo Stormwater Outfall)04/11/2023
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the selection committee's ranking related to Request for Professional Services
(11RPS11) No. 23-8057, "Design Services for Goodlette-Frank Road/Naples Zoo Stormwater Outfall," and
authorize staff to begin contract negotiations with the top -ranked firm, WGI, Inc., so that a proposed
agreement can be brought back for the Board's consideration at a future meeting.
OBJECTIVE: To approve the selection committee's ranking of RPS No. 23-8057 and authorize staff to negotiate
an agreement to engage professional design services for the Goodlette Frank Road/Naples Zoo Stormwater Outfall
project.
CONSIDERATIONS: In 2018, the County completed the "Gordon River Master Plan & Goodlette-Frank Road
Stormwater Outfall Improvements Modeling Update & Feasibility Engineering Study" (hereafter the "Master
Plan"). The Master Plan prepared by Agnoli, Barber and Brundage, Inc. ("ABB"), analyzed flow capacities within
the Gordon River and the existing canal along the western side of Goodlette-Frank Road and identified a series of
capital improvement projects needed to address existing stormwater system deficiencies.
According to the Master Plan, the supplemental outfall is proposed to connect the Goodlette-Frank ditch to the tidal
portion of the Gordon River (Section E on Exhibit I of the attached Master Plan). This section of the Gordon River
is bordered by the Naples Zoo and the Conservancy of Southwest Florida to the west and the Bears Paw community
to the east. The proposed supplemental outfall has been deemed critical for the alleviation of upstream flood stages
in the Gordon River. The success of other proposed projects within the Gordon River Extension basin (hereafter the
"GRE basin") is contingent upon the ability of this design to achieve the flood stage reductions as proposed in the
Master Plan.
This supplemental outfall is intended to pass the additional flows that are not accommodated by the recently
completed weir improvements in Freedom Park. The next downstream connection between the Goodlette-Frank
ditch and the Gordon River is through the Conservancy of Southwest Florida; however, the Conservancy outfall is
densely vegetated through its open channel, has a protected gopher tortoise preserve, and is not designed to be a
major outfall for the GRE basin. The proposed supplemental outfall will accommodate the additional flows from
Goodlette-Frank Road, the Goodlette-Frank ditch, Naples High School, Golden Gate Parkway, the Coastland
Center Mall, and flow from upstream sections.
The Master Plan proposed a design which included box culvert improvements under Golden Gate Parkway and
Goodlette-Frank Road (or other proposed alternative design), a linear pond improvement, and a fixed crest weir
control structure that would outfall into the Gordon River located south of Golden Gate Parkway in a sixty feet
(60') wide County -owned parcel along the northern boundary of the Naples Zoo with an access road for
maintenance of the supplemental outfall and a permanent access to the northern portion of the Naples Zoo and the
undeveloped properties to the north.
On October 19, 2022, the Procurement Services Division posted RPS No. 23-8057, Design Services for Naples Zoo
Stormwater Outfall. The County received four proposals by the November 22, 2022, submission deadline, which
were all found to be responsive and responsible.
Per Section 287.055 of the Florida Statutes, the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act (the "CCNA"), the
evaluation criteria included ability of professional personnel; certified minority business enterprise; past
performance/references; project approach, willingness to meet time and budget requirements; location; and recent,
current, and projected workloads of the firm. The selection committee convened on January 25, 2023, as described
in Step 1 of the solicitation documents and after review of the proposals and deliberation, the Committee scored all
the proposals, and as required by the CCNA shortlisted the top three firms to move to Step 2 oral presentations and
final ranking. The Committee elected not to bring Atkins North American, Inc., for oral presentations based on the
collective evaluation and subsequent scores.

negotiations with the top ranked firm, WGI, with the intent of bringing back a negotiated contract for Board
approval at a subsequent meeting. If staff is unable to reach an agreement with the number one ranked firm, staff
will continue negotiating with the remaining firms in ranked order.
FISCAL IMPACT: After an agreement has been reached, the County Manager or designee will bring the
negotiated agreement to the Board for approval. At that time, a budget amendment will be requested from the
Transportation Management Services Stormwater Bond Fund 327 to transfer funding Erorn reserves to Project
60102.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact associated with this action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority vote for
Board approval.-SRT
RIECOMMENDATION: To approve the selection committee's ranking related to RPS No. 23-8057 for "Design
Services for Goodlette Frank Road/Naples Zoo Stormwater Outfall," and in the event that an agreement cannot be

deemed critical for the alleviation of upstream flood stages in the Gordon River. The success of other proposed projects wi F1 6.A. 1 1.c
Gordon River Extension basin (hereinafter called GRE basin) is contingent upon the ability of this design to achieve the flood stage
reductions as proposed in the Master Plan.
This supplemental outfall is intended to pass the additional flows that are not accommodated by the recently completed weir
improvements in Freedom Park. The next downstream connection between the Goodlette-Frank ditch and the Gordon River is through
the Conservancy of Southwest Florida, however, the Conservancy outfall is densely vegetated through its open channel, has a protected
gopher tortoise preserve, and is not designed to be a major outfill for the GRE basin. The proposed supplemental outfall will
accommodate the additional flows from Goodlette-Frank Road, the Goodlette-Frank ditch, Naples High School, Golden Gate Parkway,
the Coastland Center mall, and flow from upstream sections.
The Master Plan proposed a design which included box culvert improvements under Golden Gate Parkway and Goodlette-Frank Rd (or
other proposed alternative design), a linear pond improvement, and a fixed crest weir control structure that would outfall into the Gordon
River located south of Golden Gate Parkway in sixty feet (60') wide County owned parcel along the northern boundary of the Naples
Zoo with an access road for maintenance of the supplemental outfall and a permanent access to the northern portion of the Naples Zoo

Attn: Barbara Lance, Procurement Strategist
RE: Request for Professional Services (RPS No.: 23-8057), Design Services
for Goodlette-Frank Road/Naples Zoo Stormwater Outfall
Dear Ms. Lance:
WGI, Inc (WGI) understands the time and effort Collier County (County) staff have
committed to building a vibrant and sustainable community and the importance of public
infrastructure, especially when planning for growth while maintaining a level of services
for residents and ensuring sustainability and resiliency. WGI offers the County a team
of highly specialized and experienced roadway/transportation engineering and water
resources professionals for design, permitting, and preparation of bidding documents
necessary for the Goodlette-Frank Road/Naples Zoo Stormwater Outfall project.
TheWGI team is very familiar with the 2018 Gordon River Basin (GRB) Improvements Master
Plan & Goodlette-Frank Road Stormwater Outfall Improvements Modeling Update and
Feasibility Engineering Study. The GRB Master Plan recommended the implementation
of eight projects, and in 2019, teaming partners Water Resources Management
Associates, Inc. (WRMA) and WGI were selected and are currently working in the
implementation of Project #5 (Goodlette-Frank Ditch Improvements Design Services
project - RPS NO.: 21-7847), with WRMA as the prime firm and WGI the lead subconsultant
for surveying, subsurface engineering utility (SUE), traffic signal design, maintenance of
traffic (MOT), and heavy structural culvert and control structure design.

Project #2 of the GRB Master Plan - the Goodlette Frank Supplemental Outfall and the List: WGI Ranks #175 (12 Ranks
subject of this solicitation, is the continuation of the Goodlette-Frank Ditch Improvements Higher than 2020!)
Design Services project (Project #5) south of Golden Gate Parkway. We are presenting the
same team currently performing the design and permitting services for the Goodlette-
Frank Ditch Improvements Design Services for this solicitation with transposed roles—
WGI as the prime firm and WRMA as the lead subconsultant due to the nature of the requested services.
This Project requires a firm with demonstrated ability in complex local roadway and intersection design, transportation planning, MOT,
environmental assessments, surveying and structural support for major underground utilities, and heavy structural culvert design. WGI is a full -
service transportation firm with Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) pre -qualifications in all categories of roadway design and planning
needed for this project. As an FOOT preferred provider, WGI is the right choice to lead the team as prime while maintaining continuity with WRMA
for water resources engineering and modeling.
As a multidisciplinary national consulting firm with a history dating back to 1972 in Palm Beach County, Florida, WGI serves a multitude of public
and private clients. We remain dedicated to the development and economic prosperity of the local communities in which we live and work. WGI
currently employs over 650 highly skilled and experienced professionals. Our Corporate Office is in West Palm Beach with nine branch offices in
Florida —including Fort Meyers. WGI willperform roadway related design andlandscape design, drainage easement boundaryltopographic
surveying, land development rights research, SUElocation, and environmentaland ecological consulting services.

WRMA, the lead subconsultant firm, is a civil/water resources engineering consulting firm established in 1997 specializing in analysis and design
of municipal stormwater and flood control/drainage facilities, and for residential subdivisions, commercial/industrial parks, golf courses, landfills,
airports, ports, roadways, and bridges. WRMA is based in Palm Beach County, Florida with branch offices in Vero Beach and Miami. WRMA
specializes in ID and 2D hydraulic modeling, floodplain modeling and mapping, stream restoration, ditch and canal bank stabilization, sea level rise,
green infrastructure/low impact development (LID) sustainability design, and stormwater/drainage retrofit design. WRMA is a Hispanic American
Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) with the FDOT and the State of Florida. WRMA also holds a Small
Business Enterprise (SBE) certificate from the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). WRMA willprovideXPSIMMM Hydrologic and
hydraulic (H&H) modeling and peak stormwater attenuation design, canaibank design, littoraiplanting, and water quality nutrient load
reduction analysis.
To bring further continuity into the team, WGI is also assisted by the same subconsultants currently participating in the GRB Project #5 - Goodlette-
Frank Ditch Improvements Design Services project. SOCOTEC Consulting, Inc. (SOCOTEC) (formerly FORGE Engineering) will assist the team
with geotechnical engineering services, including Auger soil samples, soil bearing analysis, soil stability analysis and canal bank armoring, and
structural design recommendations. Celia Molnar & Associates, Inc. (CMA) will assist with Public Outreach to stakeholders. CMA conducted over
300 successful public involvement and outreach programs for infrastructure projects on the west coast of Florida. Bob Carr, MS, Executive Director
of the Archaeological and Historical Conservancy, Inc. (AHCI), will assist (if necessary) with archaeological requirements. Due to the addition
of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) design for water level monitoring to this scope of services, we have added to our team Smith
Engineering Consultants, Inc. (SEC), a leading SCADA provider with clients including the SFWMD and numerous other water management
districts throughout Florida.
The WGI team is uniquely positioned to perform this project. Through very detailed XPSWMM H&H modeling, WRMA acquired invaluable knowledge
of the Goodlette-Frank Road ditch conveyance peak flows and stages, significantly changing the premise of the original 2018 GRB Master Plan and
Goodlette-Frank Road Gordon River Extension Feasibility Engineering Study alternative project design recommendations, including the technical
basis for this solicitation. The team recently met with City of Naples Utility and Stormwater Departments to identify critical utility crossings at the
Goodlette-Frank Road/Golden Gate Parkway intersection, and initially researched the development and access rights of Parcel #6 (ID 61940320009)
of the proposed supplemental outfall along the northern boundary of Naples Zoo.
In addition to the proposed box culvert alternative, we are excited to offer two alternative design solutions, as requested, based upon factors such
as ease of construction, reduced lifecycle costs, reduced maintenance, and especially traffic disruption and public safety during construction.
Jeffrey Bergmann, PE and Jeff Cooner, PSM will serve as project manager and assistant project manager, respectively. Both will be
authorized to make representation for this contract. WGI is prepared to work in strict compliance with all federal, state, and local applicable rules
and regulations. WGI looks forward to the opportunity to present our qualifications further to the selection committee, if requested.

The interconnected nature of drainage canals, ditches, wetlands, complex hydraulics, and discharge boundary conditions requirements of
the coastal ecosystem watershed area mandates the application of a robust and well -established basin wide H&H model with very specific
characteristics. Hydrologically, the model must be able to account for all hydrologic cycle components typical of water budget modeling applied
to wetlands hydroperiod simulations. The model must also be able to perform flood -routing of flood stages and/or wetland inundations depths
through a complex network of interconnected sloughs, canals, ponds, reservoirs, and gated control structures. The model must also be able to
account for external hydraulic input from pumps and wells. Lastly, the model must integrate the surface flow and/or inundation depth to the
seasonal movement of the groundwater table through the unsaturated zone.
WRIVIA often recommends the use of the XPSWMM-2D or ICPR4-2D model as a basis for development of the project hydraulic model. These are
integrated surface/groundwater models that describes the unsaturated zone. This zone is the most critical zone for understanding expansion and
contraction of wetlands. The models allow for detailed hydrodynamic simulation of wetlands, reservoirs, culvert, structures, gates, pumps, in an
interconnected network of canals, ponds, reservoirs and wetlands.
WRIVIA will utilize the XPSWMM model for stormwater runoff response and wetland water budget/ hydroperiod simulation, to address flooding
problems, and to develop a long-term, continuous basin -scale water budget /hydraulic model for studying water management during low, average,
and high flow, and extreme event conditions. WRIVIA Engineers are experienced in the development and application of numerical models for
solving environmental and engineering problems such as answering specific management questions and designing water management facilities,
hydraulic structures, and conveyance systems. WRIVIA can provide H&H modeling and water resources engineering design services utilizing:
oo. ICPR4 I interconnected Pond Routing Model No. XPSWMM I Hydrologic, Hydraulic, And Water Quality Model
o- BCM I Blaney-Criddle Groundwater Use Allocation Model P- INFOWORKS ICM I H&H Sewer Analysis Model
o- HEC-HMS USACE Hydrologic Modeling System o� MODFLOW-31) Groundwater Model
No. HEC-RAS USACE I-D/2-D River Analysis System Model Po. GMS/SEEP2D Seepage Modeling Suite
WRIVIA has applied the XPSWMM model for the current Goodlette-Frank Ditch Improvements project for the implementation of the proposed
ditch design as well as four box culvert replacements. Furthermore, the firm has substantial experience in XPSWMM modeling including the 280
square mile Miami River Watershed Regional Flood Control Program, and the Southeast Sector Watershed planning area in Tallahassee, Florida.
Additionally, WRIVIA modeled the C-4 and C-9 Basin Stormwater Master Plans in Broward and Miami, Florida.
Floodplain Delineation Modeling and Mapping
H&H modeling for open channel design usually requires the use of a hydrodynamic model to rate the influence that inlet or outlet hydraulic
conditions have on these structures. Furthermore, many culverts and bridges are in FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas mapped in Digital Flood
Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMS) with a base flood elevation (BSE) indicated. In these cases, FEMA requires that the HEC-RAS model be used to
determine if the replacement (in kind or other) will require modification for Floodzone map.
Watershed Restoration and H&H Wetland Hydroperiod Modeling
South Florida wetland ecosystem flow patterns are characterized by slowly meandering regional sloughs with varied degree of seasonal
inundation along a flat or semi- flattopography. This type of distributed seasonal flow can best be simulated using a mathematical model with two-
dimensional cell/grid methodology. The purpose of a typical coastal wetland ecosystem restoration project is to reestablish sheet flow and rainfall
driven hydroperiods to improve the function of terrestrial and aquatic habitats. WRIVIAs methodology for watershed restoration projects includes
performing an environmental and historical assessment of the wetland ecosystem for comparison with current wetland formation occurrence.
The wetland coverage change detection/comparison analysis provides the extent of impact of hydrologic gradient shift in the wetland ecosystem.
WRIVIA's Wetland and Hydroperiod Modeling Services Include:
o- Field environmental assessment of impacted wetlands groundwater water table interaction.
o- Determination of the maximum allowable water depth and draw po. Acquisition of current and historical wet, dry, and normal rainfall
down rates of the predevelopment wetland ecosystem in order to time series data will be obtained to simulate the behavior of the
mimic historic habitat conditions. wetland ecosystem in extreme conditions.
oo. Identification of existing piezometer wells and the installation po. Hydroperiod model calibration to selected independent storm
of new staff gages and piezometer wells. These will be used to events and continuous data and verified per a recent event such
monitor the current wetland hydroperiod levels and the surface/ as Hurricane Ian.
A properly calibrated and verified model can then be applied in continuous (water budget) mode to simulate the existing hydraulic infrastructure
and for development of proposed water management strategies to restore historical wetland hydroperiods consistent with local and regional
restoration goals. The WRIVIA Team can identify all major wetland communities present within the watershed area and estimate the range of
hydrologic factors (hydroperiods and water depths) needed to maintain and/or enhance their current ecological function.

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
Goodlette-Frank Ditch Improvements Design Services, Collier County, FL, Collier County, Project
Manger. Jeff managed all aspects of the topographic survey, right-of-way mapping, and SUE to complete
the project data collection, This design project refined the hydraulic model and recommended design
improvements (widening and deepening) for the Goodlette-Frank Road ditch to support FEMA flood hazard
mitigation funding. The widening and deepening optimized the ditch's drainage capacity, benefitting the
neighborhood areas to the west by lowering flood water levels. WGI used mobile and backpack LIDAR for
topographic survey, ground -penetrating radar, and multiple pipe and cable locating technologies to define
the existing underground utilities during the SUE phase. Street, driveway, and structure elevations within
portions of neighborhoods, collected with mobile LIDAR, provided base elevation data for flood hazard
mitigation modeling.

and coordinated this project's surveying and mapping activities located in the southern part of Lee County
near Bonita Springs, WGI provided services in support of the Larry Kiker Preserve Park planning and
construction. This survey effort included establishing horizontal and vertical control within the +/- 4,000-
acre preserve property and control within areas to the west of the preserve within the Village of Estero.
Other survey tasks included performing cross -sections on portions of flow ways, locating flagged upland/
wetland lines, and locating seasonal high-water marks within the preserve property. The Halfway Creek
major flow way was surveyed in detail, including a bathymetric survey. An overall boundary survey of the
preserve was also part of the survey assignment. On the thirty flow way cross -sections, digital pictures
were collected upstream and downstream to document the ground conditions for flow computations.

SR 5/US I from SR AIA/Ocean Boulevard Beach Road Bridge, Palm Beach County, FIL, FDOT District 4, Project Surveyor/SUE Quality
Control. Jeff supervised SUE staff and performed quality control on the SUE deliverables, which he signed and sealed. The project involved
replacing the four -lane SR 5/US I Bridge (Bridge No, 930005) over the Loxahatchee River and Intracoastal Waterway with one mile of roadway
approach reconstruction in Palm Beach County. The project replaced the existing four -lane bridge with a wider four -lane bridge constructed along
the same alignment as the existing bridge. The new bridge accommodated seven -foot bicycle lanes and eight -foot sidewalks on both sides of
the road. The Jupiter SR 5/US I Bridge is a mid -level bascule bridge to replace the existing low-level bascule bridge, The project improved both
vehicular, and waterway traffic flows. The estimated cost of the improvements, including roadway construction, was approximately $94 million.
In addition to the mainline bridge replacement project, the FDOT requested our team to focus on conceptual alternatives at the intersection of SR 706
(Indiantown Road) and SR 811 (Alt. AIA). These intersections are critical to a detour route to be utilized during the full bridge closure to help increase
LOS, enhance safety during construction, and help facilitate pedestrian accommodations. During the development of various conceptual alternatives
for this intersection, the scope changed from permanent alternatives to temporary alignment solutions. Finally, the FDOT requested we also evaluate
the intersections of SIR 5 (US 1) at SR 706 (Indiantown Road) and SR 5 (US 1) at Beach Road to provide similar conceptual alternatives,
Meridian Ultimate Phase I (Twiggs Street Widening) Design/Build, Hillsborough County, FIL, Ajax Paving Industries, Inc., Project Surveyor/
SUE Quality Control. Jeff supervised SUE staff and performed quality control on the SUE deliverables, which he signed and sealed. Meridian Ultimate
improvements are a series of improvements designed to facilitate ingress/egress for traffic traveling from/to the Selmon Expressway/Reversible
Elevated Lanes (REL), The Phase I project includes reversible elevated lane ramp improvements and widening Twiggs Street to a five -lane section
between Meridian Avenue and Nebraska Avenue to better accommodate exiting reversible elevated lane traffic heading westbound on Twiggs Street,
TWO 7 SE 28 Street from 441 to SE 18 Terrace Survey Services, Okeechobee County, FIL, FOOT District 1, Project Surveyor/Quality Control
Jeff provided QC and checking of all right-of-way mapping on this project. The project was an off -system project for FDOT along approximately one
mile of County roadway in Okeechobee County. The ultimate purpose of this project was to provide a survey base for engineers to design a trail in place
of the existing sidewalk. The challenge with the project was that the right of way had been originally acquired by Okeechobee County through parcel
descriptions without an overall map showing the right of way that had been acquired. In addition to a full topographic survey of the corridor for use by
design, WGI researched the County records for the original acquisition documents, recovered and surveyed existing property corner monuments along
the right of way, and combined the descriptions in the documents referenced to the survey corners to create a base map that included the existing
right-of-way. This allowed the design of the proposed trail to remain within the existing right-of-way limits and eliminated the need for additional right-
of-way acquisition.
SIR 93 from N of SR 80 to Top of Caloosahatchee River Bridge Survey Services, Lee County, FIL, FOOT District 1, Project Surveyor/Quality
Control. Jeff provided field review and QC of the mapping for this project, The project included terrestrial mobile LiDAR of a portion of 1-75 over the

urban interstate. The project limits extend from approximately 3,700 feet west of the 1-295 interchange (Section 72270 MIR 15.5) to approximately
1,900 feet east of Stockton Street (Section 72270 MP 21.4). Several side streets underneath 1-10 require redesigned intersections, sidewalk additions,
roadway widening, and mill and resurfacing to accommodate the interstate widening. The proposed widening of 1-10 from Lane Avenue to 1-95
shall consist of nine inches of concrete pavement. Widening from the west of 1-295 to Lane Avenue shall match the adjacent flexible pavement.
Twelve bridges will be widened and the Cedar River bridge culvert under 1-10 and the eastbound off -ramp at Lane Avenue will be replaced with a
three -barrel 10-foot by 10-foot bridge culvert. Drainage, ITS, lighting, landscape opportunity plans, signing and pavement marking, tem pora ry traffic
control, water, and sewer design, survey, and geotechnical engineering are also required as part of this project.
Schofield Road from US 27 to Lake -Orange County Line, Lake County, FL, Lake County Board of County Commissioners, Quality Control
Manager. Lee oversaw the quality review process for this project. The project included reconstructing Schofield Road from an existing dirt road to
a two-lane rural collector roadway serving the primary access route for the CEMEX Four Corners sand mine. The total project length is five miles,
beginning at US 27 and ending at the Lake -Orange County line. In coordination with the County, WGI incorporated elements for a future four -lane
divided typical section into the design. At the county line, the design included an interim connection to the existing roadway and accommodations
for re -alignment of Schofield Road by Orange County. Stormwater management was permitted through St. Johns River Water Management District.
The design required extensive coordination with Water Consery 11, a partnership between the City of Orlando and Orange County, which owns a
30-inch reclaimed water main used for agricultural irrigation. The water main runs along most of the project limits.

Australian Avenue at Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard Intersection Improvements, Palm Beach County, FL, Palm Beach County Roadway
Production, Project Engineer. Brett was responsible for developing the roadway geometry, signing and pavement marking design, and plan
production. The project involved constructing an eastbound turning lane on Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard between Australian Avenue and Carver
Avenue and drainage improvements on the west side of Australian Avenue and the south side of Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard. The main objective of
the drainage improvements was to provide relief to the existing drainage outfalls south of the intersection of Australian Avenue and Palm Beach Lakes
Boulevard. This was accomplished by reconstructing part of the existing drainage trunk line south of the intersection and routing collected stormwater
east to the Carver Canal via a new larger drainage trunk line along the south side of Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard. Limits of drainage improvements
along Australian Avenue are from south of 10th Street to Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard,
CSX - Vilma's Ditch, Broward County, FL, FDOT District 4, Project Engineer. Brett assisted with the development of the construction plan set.
Tasks included the development of cross sections, quantity calculations, specifications package, and computation book. The project consisted of
analysis and design to convert an existing grassed ditch to an articulating concrete block lined facility. The existing grassed ditch was subject to
frequent flooding due to grass clippings that were flushed to and clogged the existing ditch bottom inlet at the outfall. The ditch provides stormwater
treatment in addition to stormwater conveyance from a pump station outfall, located just north of Pembroke Road to the ditch bottom inlet located just
south of Hollywood Boulevard, which drains to the Hollywood Canal and eventually outfalls into the C-10 Canal. A critical aspect of this project was to
maintain stormwater conveyance from the City of Hallandale Beach and the Town of Pembroke Park during construction.
SR 7 Extension, Palm Beach County, FL, FDOT District 4, Project Engineer. Brett's duties for this project included managing day-to-day
coordination with FOOT and prime and subconsultants, developing typical section packages, design of horizontal and vertical geometry, cross-section
design, S&PM design, GUI design, and quantity calculations, This project consisted of widening a two-lane undivided to a four -lane divided urban
section of SR 7 from SR 704/Okeechobee Boulevard to 60th Street and a new alignment between 60th Street and Northlake Boulevard. WGI services
included project -wide survey and subsurface utility engineering, roadway design, signalization modifications, signing and pavement marking, and
Maintenance of Traffic for the project segment between SR 704 and Persimmon, Extensive surveys were required to support the design of a new
roadway within portions of this 8.5-mile project in Palm Beach County, An existing survey was updated to reflect new conditions, drainage structures
were surveyed, and cross -sections were provided in heavily vegetated areas lying between 50th Street and Northlake Boulevard. Hydrographic surveys
were also provided within portions of the M Canal.
SR 715 Culvert Replacement MP 2.8, Palm Beach County, FL, FDOT District 4, Project Engineer. Brett was responsible for the roadway, signing
and pavement marking, and signalization plans. WGI was responsible for the overall delivery of this project which involved conversion of a push button
contract plans (prepared by other) to a regular let project for a culvert replacement along a heavy truck route. In light of the expedited schedule,
incomplete plans and utility coordination, and significant utility impact associated with a temporary detour, WGI staff proposed an alternate design to
eliminate the open cut by use of centrifugally placed concrete liner. This novel technology reduced the MOT significantly, eliminated all utility impacts,
and reduced the construction cost by $150K.

Indian tribal property in the Immokalee and Lake Trafford area of Collier County, Florida. The primary objective of this project was to use the model to
determine the source of observed flooding and develop drainage improvements to mitigate that flooding, An existing XPSWMM model existed and was
converted to ICPR. A preliminary study area was identified within the XPSWMM model domain. Within this study area, we refined the converted model
to establish a more accurate representation of existing drainage conditions in and around the reservation. These updates were crucial in determining

Project Experience
Palm Beach County Lift Stations- Larry is the Engineer of Record (EOR) for the
SCADA/telemetry system improvements for over 80 lift stations throughout Palm Beach
County's service area. New remote terminal units (RTU), including associated antenna
towers, were added to provide remote status reporting to the central monitoring location.
New pump control panels were designed to replace those that were in poor condition. New
level transducers and programmable logic controllers were provided for modernized pump
control. Radio surveys were performed at 80 sites plus an additional 20 sites prior to the
design providing the County with additional data in order to better understand the limits of
their lift station communication ranges.
City of Sunrise, Sawgrass VVTP Improvements- Larry is the EOR for electrical systems for
miscellaneous improvements to the City's existing water treatment plant. This included the
electrical power distribution, controls, and instrumentation. Four existing transfer pumps at
the clearwell were upgraded with larger motors. Two of the pumps received new reduced
voltage starters and the other two new variable frequency drives (VFD's). Other
improvements included new metering pumps for the sodium hypochlorite, the replacement
of three concentrate booster pumps/ motors, a new air compressor, and the removal of the
existing ozone generator.
City of West Palm Beach Lift Station SCADA Upgrade - Larry is the EOR for the replacement
of the City's existing base station and RTUs that serve over 100 lift stations throughout the
City of West Palm Beach. The existing SCADA system was comprised of several different
types of RTUs along with proprietary base station software that was not able to
accommodate RTUs with an open communications protocol. Therefore, SEC specified a new
base station, including both system hardware and software, to allow different types of RTUs
to be installed in the field that previously would not have been able to communicate with
the base station. We also specified the new RTUs to replace those at the lift stations that
were aging and in need of replacement. This new SCADA system provided the necessary
flexibility that helped the city to save operating and maintenance costs by allowing for non-
proprietary, lower cost RTUs to be installed throughout their service territory.
City of West Palm Beach Water Treatment Plant Generator- Larry is the EOR for the power,
control, and instrumentation systems for a new 2,000 kW, 4,160 volt generator installation
at the City's existing Water Treatment Plant. He designed the electrical systems, including
three new automatic transfer switches, for the relocation of the existing 1,000 kW
generator to the City's public works complex. Control and Instrumentation systems were 00
Iq
integrated with the existing paralleling switchgear at the water treatment plant. 04
South Martin Regional Utilities- Larry provided the electrical engineering services for the
M
construction of the MBR Pilot project at the existing WWTP. This included the design of a
U)

new motor control center for the IVIBR blowers, pumps, and other appurtenant equipment.

GOODLETTE-FRANK ROAD DITCH IMPROVEMENT
(CONTINUED)
Mobile LiDAR topographic data was collected by WGI's in-house
terrestrial mobile LiDAR data collection team for the purpose of
developinga high-fidelity survey grade DEM oftheditch conveyance
channel for use in H&H modeling and design. WRMA applied the
XPSWMM 1 and 2D H&H model to perform existing and proposed
condition analysis of the 25 and 100-year peak hydraulic discharge
and flood stages. WRMA reviewed and compared state-of-the-art
ditch armoring alternatives, performed soil slope stability testing,
and recommended the use of HydruTurf Z erosion control material.
HydroTurf, which requires minimal to no maintenance, will be placed
at 1.5111V side slope to maximize the overbank buffer maintenance
area. The WRMA team has prepared a basis of design (30% design
plan) Report, 60% plans, and is in the process of completing 90%
and 100% plans for the ditch and culvert crossing improvements, traffic light intersection improvements and MOT WRMA
is providing FEMA/Hazard Mitigation Grant application assistance with the preparation of a benefit cost analysis for a
residential area with repetitive loss properties where flooding will be substantially reduced from proposed improvements.
Other services include a modification of the current SFWMD ERP permit, cost estimations, bid documents, and will assist
with post -design construction services.

LOWER WITHLACOOCHEE RIVER
Yankeetown, Florida
This bathymetric survey project was completed along the Lower Withlacoochee
River to be incorporated into the Withlacoochee River Watershed DEM. The
project limits were from the Inglis Bypass Spillway to the mouth of the river at the
Gulf of Mexico, including several surrounding tributaries. In total, the project
length was approximately 14 miles. WGI collected multi -beam data along the
project to be used to improve hydrodynamic modeling of the Lower
Withlacoochee River, This project also included surveying the downstream side
of two structures which had WGI utilize our Z-boat hydrographic platform to
safely collect the data in shallow water near the structures. WGI's survey crew
had to closely monitor tide elevations during the multi -beam collection as this
affected the outer limits of the collection since the goal was to capture as
much of the natural river as possible.
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
The SWFWMD sent the District's Multimedia Journalist for a ride -along with our
crew on the day to capture video during the project for inclusion in their Weekly
Digest Bulletin. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w—Mt5yxt—fM)

SEACREST CORRIDOR UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS
Boynton Beach, Florida
The neighborhood improvements for this substantial infrastructure improvement
project included 30,000 linear -feet of water main replacement, moving rear yard
services and meters to front yards, 3,200 linear -feet of stormwater system upgrades,
pavement reconstruction and overlay, roadside swales, driveway aprons, and
sidewalks over a 50-block residential neighborhood covering 193 acres. A critical
6,500 linear -feet sanitary sewer force main connection was also designed that
provided connectivity of the City's sanitary sewer system across the FEC Railroad
and Intracoastal Waterway to the barrier island. Installation of the 6-inch to 10-
inch diameter water and force main utilized a combination of open cut, horizontal
directional drill, and pipe bursting construction methods. WGI was able to quickly
and accurately map existing features through Terrestrial Mobile LiDAR (TML). TML
allowed surveyors to not trespass on private property and to allow pits to move
as needed due to the entire corridor being a part of the scan data. The accuracy
and flexibility of the TML approach reduced costs and schedule of the survey by
eliminating errors and by obtaining a full capture of the area.

BANYAN BOULEVARD FROM TAMARIND
AVENUE TO OLIVE AVENUE
Palm Beach County, Florida
Serving as the main access road to federal, state, and local offices, Banyan
Boulevard also functions as a gateway into downtown West Palm Beach for
many government employees and residents. The corridor provides access to
the waterfront and a connection to the heart of the downtown entertainment
district. This corridor redevelopment goal was to create a vibrant street and a
downtown gateway, prioritize pedestrians and cyclists, and designed alternative
mobility infrastructure and safe accommodation of automobiles. Additionally, with
assistance from the adjacent Northwest neighborhood, public art and gateway
features join, rather than isolate, the residential neighborhood with downtown.
Typical roadway sections were developed to transform the corridor into a bicycle
and pedestrian -friendly link while adhering to current Florida Design Manual
standards and meeting an acceptable level of service based on adopted criteria.
The recommended typical section incorporates a raised protected cycle track for
the length of the corridor. This alternative protects cyclists from vehicular conflicts
and reduces pavement width, which lends itself to slower driving speeds. The
canopy trees' use and placement create a sense of enclosure and visual order,
which is currently lacking. This design will reinvent Banyan Boulevard as a corridor
prototype for multi -mobility in the City.

US 301 DESIGN -BUILD
FROM MYRTLE STREET TO DESOTO ROAD
Sarasota County, Florida
WGI was the engineer of record for this project which widened US 301 between
Myrtle Street and Desoto Road along US 301 in Sarasota from four lanes to six.
Drainage analysis required modification of existing permits to meet water quality
and attenuation requirements. WGI designed treatment swales to correct chronic
flooding along US 301 by collecting both on -site and off -site runoff. Span wire
signals were upgraded to mast arms with video detection and railroad preemption.
Because this was an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funded
project, an aggressive schedule was necessaryto meet shovel ready requirements.
Extensive utility coordination and relocation design was completed early in the
process to facilitate an accelerated construction start date.

BOSTROM PARK UNDERGROUND STORAGE FILTRATION
CHAMBER GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE BASED FLOOD RELIEF
AND WATER QUALITY
Town of Lake Park, Florida
H&H modeling of the Town of Lake Park shows significant flooding occurs at
the Southern Outfall confluence within its northwest tributary at 6th Street along
Bostrom Park (over 464 acres). The Southern Outfall is significantly impaired by
lack of hydraulic capacity. WRMA, as part of the Town's Stormwater Masterplan
GI/LID-based 5-year drainage infrastructure improvement plan, is in the process
of designing a bypass of NW peak flows into a farm of underground storage
filtration chambers.
WRMA applied a progressive Town -wide Green I nf rastructu re/Cl i mate Change
Abatement based approach to the development of the SWMP. This included a
proposed GI/LID-based Best Management Practice that offers a sustainable
solution to significantly decrease the flooding occurring NE of Bostrom Park while
also providing significant pollutant load reductions to the Lake Worth Lagoon via
the Southern Outfall. The Southern Outfall discharges untreated runoff to the Lake
Worth Lagoon, a 303d Impaired Waterbody, and the project is consistent with the
Lake Worth Lagoon Management Plan goals to reduce nutrient and sediments
pollutant loads threatening sea grass extinction. The GI/LID underground BMP
also has the added benefit of minimal disruption of the Bostrom Park surface
athletic and recreational activities.
WRMA developed detailed ICPR4 1 and 2D H&H models per the topographic &
geotechnical surveys obtained for the project and prepared 30% and 60% design
plans and cost estimates. A $2.5 million CDBG HUD/Florida grant was applied and
was successful for 100% design plans and construction underway. WRMA applied
the Infraworks visualization tool to develop project visualization renderings of the
projects for grant funding purposes.

BNAP BASE FLOW PRIORITY- N.E FLAMINGO ORIVE
DENTRIFICATION PROJECT
BMAP BASE FLOW PRIORITY - N.E. FLAMINGO DRIVE
DENTRIFICATION PROJECT
Brevard County, Florida
NE Flamingo Drive is a new Baseflow Basin (BB) denitrification project defined by
the Spatial Watershed Iterative Loading (SWIL) model for pollutant load estimation
as part of the FIDEP Statewide Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP) program.
The priority basin project site is located in South Patrick Shores just south of SIR
404 (Pineda Causeway). The project site is the right-of-way (ROW) of Flamingo
Drive from NE 3rd Street to Ocean Blvd (Flamingo North), and from Ocean Blvd
to SE First Street (Flamingo South). The objective of the project is the restoration
of a former swale along these segments of Flamingo Drive ROW with enhanced
water quality treatment features to achieve Brevard County Banana River Nitrogen
pollutant load reduction goals as established in the FDEP/BMAP Total Maximum
Load Reduction (TMDL) program.
The WQ train consists of the provision of a dry swale with Bioactivated Media
(BAM) from NE 3rd Street to approximately 650 feet south to the location of an
existing sanitary sewer. Depending on the final alignment location and depth of
the sanitary line, a single line of approximately 425 feet of StormTech underground
filtration chamber (18-inch HDPE Equivalent with BAM) would be placed alongside
the sanitary line (with proper separation) with a shallow dry swale on top. Two
sediment traps would be provided at a paved and an unpaved driveway along
the segment. Miami curb would be installed along the ROW segment. The Water
Quality Train system would be connected to an existing stormsewer system at
Ocean Blvd.
WRMA has prepared ICPR4 H&H models for the project area and performed an
assessment of the pollutant reduction potential for the proposed WQ treatment
facilities using the BMP Trains FIDEP-sanctioned pollutant load analysis software
package. The Banana River is part of the Indian River Lagoon Planning Units

will reduce DO, and in 2010 TMDL Pollutant Load Reduction Goals (PLRG's) were established as follows: TIN = 75.3% and
TP = 79.2%. Based on these proposed improvements, the following BMP Trains pollutant load reductions are obtained for
target treatment: TIN efficiency of 50% and TP efficiency of 55%. Flamingo Drive North - East ROW: Achieved a 71% TIN
load reduction, Flamingo Drive North - West ROW: Achieved a 57% TIN load reduction, Flamingo Drive South - East ROW:
Achieved a 96% TIN load reduction, Flamingo Drive South - West ROW: Achieved an 84% TIN load reduction.
WRMA has completed a Basis of Design (30%) and 60% plans report and is in the process of preparing 90% and 100%
design plans. WRMA is also assisting Brevard County with St. Johns River Water Management District ERP regulatory
permitting.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The Goodlette-Frank Road/Naples Zoo Stormwater Outfall project is one of eight alternative
projects identified in the GRB Improvements Master Plan (ABB, 2017). The Master Plan
analyzed flow capacities within the Gordon River and the existing canal along the western
side of Goodlette-Frank Road and identified a series of capital improvement projects
needed to address existing stormwater system deficiencies. This project, identified as
Project #2 (Goodlette-Frank Road Ditch Supplemental Outfall), is intended to pass the
additional flows that are not accommodated by the recently completed weir improvements
in Freedom Park (Projects #3 and #4) as well as additional flows from Goodlette-Frank
Road, the Goodlette-Frank ditch, Naples High School, Golden Gate Parkway, the Coastland
Center mall, and flow from upstream sections. The proposed outfall design in the Master
Plan included box culvert improvements under Golden Gate Parkway and Goodlette-Frank
Road (or other proposed alternative design), a linear pond improvement, and a fixed cres Ditch along the west side of Goodlette-Frank road and
weir control structure that would outfall into the Gordon River located south of Golden adjacent to the Coastland Center mall
Gate Parkway. The outfall would be located within a 60-foot-wide County owned parcel
along the northern boundary of the Naples Zoo with an access road for maintenance of
the supplemental outfall and a permanent access to the northern portion of the Naples Zoo and the undeveloped properties to the north. The
project shall be designed to provide an adequate flood protection level of service for this area against a twenty-five year, three day storm event,
and be completed within 15 months.
TASK I — PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Delivering high -quality and cost-effective project results begins by assembling a team of qualified professionals who maintain the experience
necessary to complete an assigned scope of work. Our selected team has been structured to minimize client management effort, maintain the
project schedule, and reportclearand concise task progress. The organizational structureofthe projectteam provides direct lines of communication
and responsibility with the project manager acting as the primary client liaison. Jeffrey Bergmann, PE will be the project manager for this project
and has more than 38 years of engineering experience and a proven track record of performing and managing similar CIP projects for local
municipalities, counties, the USACE and several water management districts. Jeff Cooner, PSM will assist Jeffrey as the assistant project manager
and will assist the project manager in the day-to-day execution of the contract assigned tasks and ensure communication between the WGI and
subconsultants and the County. Project delivery and management will take place by optimizing staff time and firm locations. Overall project
management will be performed both from WGI's main office in West Palm Beach and our Fort Meyers office. Based on the services our team is
providing the County for the Goodlette-Frank Road project, and that we are utilizing the same sub -consultants for this project, we will be taking
advantage of the knowledge, relationships and experience gained from it.
Willingness to Meet the Time and Budget Requirements
WGI's willingness to meet the time and budget requirements is based on sound project management. The WGI team has the necessary experience
in similar projects to ensure these factors are closely monitored and achieved. In structuring the organization, technical expertise was combined
with effective management and quality control to complement Collier County's own organization. Important features of this organizational structure
1c*0
and cost control approach are:
No. WGI will function as an extension of County staff to advance projects toward completion. To minimize
coordination efforts, WGI has assembled a team of experienced staff to perform the duties required of the project. WGI also has the

o. Clear, concise progress monitoring including updates prior to production meetings, will keep the County's project manager informed
and up to date. This will eliminate the need to monitor the consultant's day-to-day activities and will provide early warning for any project
problems or upcoming milestones.
Quality Assurance
WGI will implement a rigorous QA/QC program. The purpose of QA/QC Plan is to facilitate the preparation of accurate and complete high -quality
drawings, specifications, calculations, and related documents furnished as part of the project's scope of work. The key elements of our quality
control plan include:
P- Clear assignments of responsibilities to all project team members to ensure the right people will be available at the right time to
review and comment on the project design and plans production.
P- Project reviews to ensure that all the critical issues on the project are addressed in accordance with the County's expectations and to
ensure the project design meets current standards, is appropriate for the project scope, and takes costs into consideration, Included in the
project reviews is a field review of the surveyed and mapped conditions prior to finalization and delivery. This field review of the survey map
assures that the critical design features and conditions are accurately included in the design files
10. to allow for monitoring, review, and improvement of the QC process. Lee Dowden, our QA/QC manager,
will monitor the QC activities. A task manager will be selected from the subconsultant staff providing the required project support. The
task manager will be responsible for managing the activities and for providing QC of the requested project support deliverable. A QA/
QC certification letter will be requested from each subconsultant at the time of deliverable submittal. Once submitted for review, the WGI
project and QA/QC managers will perform additional QC prior to final deliverable transmittal to the County project manager.
Key QA/QC guidelines include:
o. Computations and Plans shall be checked for each project task. Attention shall be given to documenting design references, sketches,
and notes. Procedures and guidelines for preparing, checking, and approving computations and plans. Complex computations require two
separate individuals, qualified to exercise independent judgment, for the preparation, checking, and approval functions. Check input data
for computer programs and for spreadsheet programs which have been independently checked. A process of step-by-step checking and
approval will be performed.
P- Technical Reports shall include a listing of all appropriate engineering manuals, Collier, FOOT, FDEP, SFWMD Design Criteria Memoranda
and related guidelines utilized in the development of the specific technical memorandum report. Drafts for the narratives, tables, and figures
of the report will be reviewed for content correctness and conformance to quality standards before being delivered, final report, including
table of contents, executive summary, exhibits, figures, and appendixes shall be signed, sealed, and dated
Approach to the Project
Due to the complexity of this project and the schedule established by the County, we have outlined those services that will be critical to the
successful outcome of this project. To be brief in the explanation of the services we have highlighted the important tasks and requirements for
each service.
Maintenance of Traffic Services
Implementing and maintaining safe temporary traffic control through the construction
work zone is critical and will dictate the success of this project. The proposed infrastructure
improvements will cross both Golden Gate Parkway and Goodlette-Frank Road. Golden Gate
Parkway serves as a primary transportation corridor as well as a hurricane evacuation route
for the City of Naples. If the schedule allows, the project would be constructed outside of
hurricane season, however; due to the size and complexity of this project, it may not be feasible
to complete all construction activities within this time frame.
The construction of the proposed drainage system that will covey the stormwater through this

cabinet, electrical service point, and mast arms located on the western side of the intersection. Intersection of Goodlette-Frank Road and
During construction a temporary span wire signal will be installed to offset these impacts. Goldengate Parkway (looking south)
For construction of this type, the fastest and most economical construction method is to do
a complete road closure and build the culvert in one phase. After a review of the surrounding area was conducted to identify potential detouring
options, we have determined that there are no roadways with sufficient capacity in the vicinity of this intersection to allow for a full detour. For this
reason, a multi phased traffic control plan will be implemented. The temporary traffic control plan will be developed by staff members with FOOT
Advanced Temporary Traffic Control Certification and will comply with FDOT FDM Section 240.

For similar types of traffic control and maintenance of traffic projects we have designed in the past, there is a sequencing and phasing plan
required to ensure safe and efficientflow of trafficthrough the intersection. The initial phase of the traffic control plan will require thatthe existing
traffic separators eastand westof the intersection will betemporarily removed and temporary asphalt installed in their place.Thiswill allowforthe
shifting oftravel lanes in both directionsto provide adequate workzone widthto safety constructthe culvert. For each segmentofthe construction
of the box culvert, an in-depth and comprehensive phasing plan is to be designed and implemented. Seasonal traffic data will be reviewed to
prepare the lane closure restriction guidelines, with the goal of maximizing the active work zone duration in order to accelerate construction.
Traffic signal timing will also be evaluated as partof ourtraffic control plan to help offsetthe reduction in traffic storage cluetothe lane reductions.
Our plans will include the use of variable message boards to provide advanced public notification of the upcoming lane closures and advanced
signage, prior to the work zone, will direct roadway users safely through the work zone. Accommodations for pedestrian and bicyclist access will
also be included. Since the existing posted speed limit is 40 mph, the use of low profile barrier walls is encouraged to protect from drop-offs within
the clear zone and because of the better visibility it provides in an urban environment.
TASK 2 - ALTERNATIVE ANALYSIS
2.01. Alternative Designs
The consultant is instructed to conduct an alternatives analysis to compare the Master Plan proposed design and at least two additional design
alternatives to present to the County for approval prior to moving on to Task 3. The WGI Team is uniquely positioned to perform this project and
formulate the required design alternatives. Through very detailed XPSWMM H&H modeling of the Goodlette-Frank Road Ditch, we have acquired
invaluable knowledge of this system's capacity after proposed canal bank HydroTurf armoring and culvert improvements and are ready to provide
the County two alternatives we feel will save time, cost, and traffic inconveniences.
Alternatives: Box Culverts vs. Steel Pipe and Open Cut Construction vs. Jack and Bore
The box culverts across Golden Gate and Goodlette-Frank Road will create a challenge for MOT which will potentially require months of disruption
to this intersection. In lieu of an open cut and traditional construction methodology, one potential alternative includes a deep jack and bore with
an equivalent cross section steel pipe that would allow the traffic and the intersection to be minimally affected and would be installed below and
adjacent to existing utilities using trenchless methods. Although the deep jack and bore installation may be more expensive on a linear footage
basis, the benefit of an unencumbered intersection and minimizing disruption to daily traffic would more than offset the installation cost through
a significant reduction in MOT.
TASK 3 — DESIGN
3.01. Geospatial/Survey/SUE
Jeff Cooner, PSM of WGI, based in Fort Myers, will be designated as the team task managerto assemble all pertinent horizontal and vertical controls,
right-of-way control documentation, property corners, line and easement locations, above ground features (i.e., utilities, vegetation, fences, etc.),
and implementing mobile LiDAR for a detailed topographic representation of the project area. Jeff will also coordinate WGI's SUE activities to
accurately locate the numerous underground water, sewer, communication, gas, etc., utilities in the project area. WGI team members recently
met with Bob Singleton, City of Naples Utility and Stormwater Departments to identify critical water, sewer and stormwater utility infrastructure at
the Goodlette-Frank Road/Golden Gate Parkway intersection. WGI's survey and land development staff have also initially researched the platted
deeds and development and access rights of the proposed supplemental outfall along the northern boundary of Naples Zoo (Parcel ID 6194032
09) to determine the impact of existing rights by others within this outfall corridor. WGI SUE staff made a preliminary mobile GPR collection of the
Goodlette-Frank Road/Golden Gate Parkway intersection. Based on this research, eight parcels in the project area have access and/or utility rights
within the 60-foot wide outfall corridor. This effort identified some of the critical existing underground utilities that are present. A digital output
from this GPR collection can be seen on the figure below where subsurface facilities are identified in yellow line work. This subsurface utility
identification will allow our team to begin assessing alternative design options at an early project stage. Elements of our team Geospatial/Survey
approach that provides Collier County advantages are:
o- We have assembled the same team as for the Goodlette-Frank Road Ditch Improvements Design Services project
oo. Our surveying and mapping services and technologies, under one roof, includes SUE, mobile LiDAR, and mobile GPR
P- Our ability to utilize and extend the existing control that was established for the Goodlette-Frank Road Ditch Improvements Design project
o- Our team knowledge of the rights -of -way of Goodlette-Frank Road and Golden Gate Parkway

knowledge of the Golden gate Parkway/Goodlette-Frank Road project area will be invaluable to the completion of geotechnical exploration for
culvert installations. Socotec already performed SPT's to a depth of 25 feet in the vicinity of this project for the ongoing Goodlette-Frank Road
Ditch Improvement project, The SPT's indicates excellent sandy soil profiles (no rock). Additional STP's drilling borings will be commissioned with
comprehensive laboratory analysis to identify water table levels, soil engineering properties to be used for proposed culvert foundations design,
alternative designs and any required mitigation design.
3.03. Stormwater System Modeling
The solicitation indicates that the Consultant shall submit a proposed design model utilizing
XPSWMM software for incorporation into the ABB 2017 Master Model proposed model. The WGI/
WRMA team is uniquely qualified for this project task as our subconsultant, WRMA, has already
developed a very detailed XPSWMM Proposed Condition model of the upstream project area
which discharges into the proposed Supplemental Goodlette-Frank Road Outfall to the Gordon
River. In this sense our, team will be able to immediately begin this project from a "running
start", by virtue of the substantial knowledge WRMA has gained in the development of the
proposed condition XPSWMM model forthe Goodlette-Frank ditch, coupled with WGI's in-depth
understanding of the existing right-of-way and easements having completed all survey work
for the Goodlette-Frank Ditch Improvements project. Our XPSWMM modeling team will be able Existing access path to Gorden River on north
to make significant progress from the outset of this project, in modeling multiple trenchless side of Naples Zoo
alternatives that our team believes could provide the same level of service as the proposed
open -cut box culvert option, but at a fraction of the construction cost. There is effectively little
to no learning curve, as WGI's structural team can begin developing preliminary designs for eitherthe trenchless or open cut options, in short order
for the County to review and evaluate.
The City of Naples has provided to our subconsultant team member WRMA, the 2005 CDM SWMM model data. This model data included the Naples
High School and the Coastland Center Mall area 2005 stormwater improvements which were imported by WRMA into the Proposed Condition
upstream G-F Road Ditch XPSWMM model developed by our subconsultant WRMA. Given this model data directly contributes site specific
discharges from the Coastland Mall to the proposed Supplemental Outfall, it is an important element to incorporate into an alternatives analysis
model as these model nodes were not included in the original Existing Conditions Gordon River XPSWMM model.
3.04. SCADA
The proposed Goodlette-Frank Rd/Naples Zoo Supplemental pipe outfall and linear pond discharge will be controlled at a remote location bordering
the Gordon River floodplains and the Conservancy of SW Florida. This will require that the proposed control structure discharge, under BMAP/
NPDES/TMDL water quantity and water quality requirements be outfitted with SCADA telemetry and fiber optic based digital controls. SEC, a multi-
discipline engineering firm will design and assist with implementation of the required SCADA system. SEC is the SFWMD-preferred provider for the
installation of SCADA telemetry and controls for water quantity (stage/discharge) and for water quality pollutant loading concentrations.

3.05. Design Report
Upon completing the initial data gathering efforts and performing 30% design plans the WGI team will prepare a Basis of Design Report (BODR)
that describes the engineering concepts, techniques, and standard specifications to perform analysis, design and construction of the project and
calculations applied for the project. The BODR will emphasize key elements of the project approach including design constraints per field survey
, underground utilities, structural requirements, and the impacts of cutting open the Golden Gate Parkway/G-F Road major intersection along a
key Hurricane evacuation route becomes essential. The BODR will address key findings of the current Goodlette-Frank Road Ditch Improvements
projects which will affect the selection of the alternative supplemental outfall design and the consideration of trenchless jack -and -bore, mini -
tunneling culvert options at the intersection. WGI has performed these types of heavy hydraulic /structural culvert/bridge projects requiring major
MOT, lighting pole, and utility relocation for the FDOT and many municipalities including major highways in cities like Miami, Tampa and Orlando as
performed for FDOT along 175,195, & US Highway 1. As a dual City of Naples/County project with key stakeholders (Naples ZOO, subdivisions, and
adjacent commercial parcels) the BODR will address all Public Outreach impacts and requirements of the project. The BOOR will include innovative
Green I nf rastructu re- based water quality treatment options for the discharge to the Gordon River Estuary and natural preserve.
3.06. Plans Preparation
Once the final accepted Supplemental Outfall design alternative has been selected and approved by the County project manager, WGI will prepare
30% plan and profile design sheets with baseline stationing, current aerial photo overlay and preliminary cost estimates. The project preliminary
design will be adjusted to satisfy County review comments and a 60% design drawing set will be prepared. The 60% plan set will "seal" the
design concept option in place. District/FDEP ERP and other required environmental, state, and/or federal permits will be processed at the 60%
plan design milestone. Additional minor specifications and technical adjustments to the selected design option will be made at 90% plans, and a
final engineer's opinion of probable cost prepared. WGI will prepare final construction plans and specifications, and a project O&M manual. A bid
plan set and documents will be prepared along with a budget for the design engineer to provide oversight during construction. This post design
effort will include, shop drawing review and approval, observation with weekly report/progress photos, contractor invoice review and approval,
answering inquiries, completion certification and record drawings.
3.07. Public Information Meetings and Presentations
During the project, community awareness and coordination with Naples High School, Coastland Center, the commercial property owner on the
north side of the project, the Naples Zoo and Society, and the general public will be essential. Media releases and direct outreach will be used
to coordinate with these stakeholders. A project website and phone number should be provided in the communications for the general public
wanting more information about the project. Public meetings can be held in person and in a virtual public meeting format that would consist of
a presentation about the project and the specifics about the improvements. The presentation would include the project objectives, goals, and
preliminary design. The presentation would be recorded and posted on the project website for 24-hour viewing by the public at their leisure. The
format would be determined based on Collier County's preference.
Program elements will include newsletter mailings, emails and small group or one-on-one meetings with adjacent property owners, public
information meetings, and project hotline. The project website will include a project presentation, project design, and contact pages. Email
distributions and telephone communications will keep property owners up to date. Finally, a technical memorandum will document all community
awareness efforts.
3.08. Operations and Maintenance Plan 12
The WGI project team will prepare a Project Manual that will incorporate a comprehensive O&M element for the new stormwater, roadway and
water quality treatment facilities. The Project Manual and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) documentwill provide recommendations regarding

TASK 4 — PERMITTING
4.01. Environmental Permitting
The project is one of many in a series of Capital Improvements to address stormwater deficiencies and supports a basin -wide approach to meet
flood staging requirements under the Gordon River Master Plan. The proposed improvements will warrant environmental field reviews to identify
general wildlife and protected species utilization, as well as to delineate the extent of any state and federally jurisdictional tidal or freshwater
wetlands resources falling within the project area.
The project will require a Section 10/404 permit from the USACE, an Environmental Resource Permit from the SFWMD and a Collier County Right -
of -Way and Excavation Permit. The proposed project falls within the Gordon River Greenway Park, designated Florida Conservation Lands (FNAI
Managed Areas), where several historical SFWMD ERPs were previously issued; including but not limited to Application No.'s 110617-17 and 150116-10.
WGI recognizes thatthe County has a unique opportunity for on -site compensatory mitigation within the Gordon River Greenway Park conservation
easement and mitigation program to offset unavoidable impacts to wetlands utilizing the existing permit (SFWMD ERP Application No. 150116-10)
which appears to have a surplus of mitigation credits available to accommodate the project. With many of WGI's environmental professionals
serving as former state and federal regulators, our team of experts have the intricate knowledge required to identify project constraints early -
on, avoid costly project delays and to streamline the overall permitting process. Our sub -consultant, WRMA already submitted an Environmental
Resource Permit for the Goodlette-Frank Road Ditch Improvements project, and it is likely that this project can be submitted as a modification to
that permit to save time.
Although last active in 2015, a bald eagle nest (Nest ID: C0051) is reported as being located less than 330 feet from the project limits which could
trigger permitting through the FWC, seasonal restrictions during nesting season, and additional monitoring requirements during construction
should an eagle re-establish in this nest. Our team of experts will facilitate coordination with the various consulting agencies during the regulatory
permitting process including the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries Service, FWC & State Historic Preservation Office USFWS,
FWC, SHPO, NMFS, and Collier County for potential impacts to Essential Fish Habitat (mangroves/seagrass), listed species or archaeological
resources to facilitate an expedient permitting effort. WGI's Environmental division staff will conduct surveys, permitting and relocation if gopher
tortoises are found within the project area and prepare a survey map for permitting/relocation purposes that shows the transect location map
depicting all gopher tortoise burrows located during the survey. WGI staff is very familiar with Gopher Tortoise Relocation Banks in the State of
Florida and as well as with the FWC staff to expedite permitting,
TASK 5 — POST DESIGN SERVICES
5.01. Bid Phase services
WGI's construction administration services begin prior to breaking ground with constructability reviews to make sure that a project can be
built economically and as planned. WGI will assist the County, if desired, with finalizing contract documents, bid advertising, bid scheduling,
bid openings, distributing bid documents to prospective contractors, responding requests for information and questions, and attend all pre -bid
meetings. Bid phase services may also include attendance at public bid openings, reviewing the bids and recommendation of contract award and
assistance with construction contract execution

5.02. Construction Administration and Support U
Once projects have been designed, permitted, and accepted by the County, WGI will prepare bid related documents and plans for the procurement wo
of the construction services. Our project manager, Jeffrey Bergmann will meet with the County representatives to plan out the bidding process so
T'-'
that all procurement and legal requirements are adhered to and met. WGI will prepare a set of bid documents that include a summary of quantities,
000
final design bid plans and specifications that reflect the actual services and material needed to successfully construct the project.
le
Oncethe bid documents are complete, WGI will coordinate with the County staff including the procurement representative and all other departments
to schedule a time and place to hold a pre -bid meeting and bid opening meetings. We will assist the County in the review and tabulation of the
00.
bids to confirm that all bids received are qualified bids and meet all other requirements of the bid including proper insurance, bonding capability,
2
acknowledgment of addendums, and all other documents require for a qualified bid.

WGI has ten offices throughout Florida with our corporate office located in West Palm Beach and an office located off Daniels Road in south Fort
Meyers which will allow efficient access to the Goodlette-Frank project location. Because of the numerous state-wide contracts WGI holds, our
project managers understand how to successfully manage projects from their home offices and to ensure that clients, wherever they are located,
are kept informed and up to date on all aspects of a project. Using various communication tools available today we stay in close contact with our
clients using the various communication platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom conferencing, e-mails and when needed, a phone call. If
in -person representation is needed, we will be able to make arrangements in our schedule to be available within 24 hours.
Byworking together on the Good lette- Frank Stormwate r Outfall Ditch projecttogether ourteam understands how internally the team communicates
and shares data. We also understand what the County expects when it comes to reporting progress of design (30%, 60%, 90%, and 100%), and
permitting and what is expected of overall external communication protocols.
Jeffrey Bergmann will be responsible for all aspects of the project from the initial pre-design/kick-of meeting to construction close-out and
certifications. Jeffrey has managed numerous projects of this size and complexity all over the state of Florida for clients such as FDOT, USACE, FDEP,
and the SFWMD. He will meet with the County's representative at the onset of the project to get a clear understanding of the manner and frequency
of communications so there is no misconception or misunderstanding of expectations. Jeffrey will manage the day-to-day and on -site information
collection and distribution between internal and external team members by using a resource planning and allocation software BST Global-10. This
software platform allows the project manager to understand how the various workflows with internal and external team members are progressing
in real-time and allows the project manager to plan and allocate the needed resources to meet the schedule and budget. Jeffrey will utilize our Fort
Meyers office to manage critical path assignments that require close proximity to the project.
Jeff Cooner, PLS resides in Fort Meyers and is very familiar
with the Goodlette-Frank Road Stormwater Outfall Ditch
project having provided all necessary surveying services
for that project and has been assigned the assistant project
manager role for this project. He will assist Jeffrey in the
facilitation and coordination of all field data acquisition
and verification services. WGI will utilize Jeff's knowledge
and relationships in Collier County as well as the City of
Naples to assist in the management of this project having
spent his entire 40-year career in southwest Florida.
Our team member, WRMA!s main office is in Tequesta,
Florida. WRMA modeling key staff will be available to
interface with County staff and Jeffrey, for any required
virtual or in -person meetings. WRIVIA staff will utilize WGI's
office space in Fort Myers both for in -person field visits,
in -person meeting with County staff, and data sharing via
the BST Global-10 software platform.
Ourteam's remaining sub -consultants are located in Collier
County, including SOCOTEC for geotechnical services; CMA
for public outreach; and AHCI for archeological services.
We will utilize these firms familiarity, local knowledge, and
extensive project experience in the design and planning of
this project.

RECENT, CURRENT AND PROJECTED WORKLOADS
One of the most important qualifications that WGI brings to the County is the commitment of the firm, at all levels, to successfully complete this
contract and provide high -quality solutions that exceed our client's expectations.
WGI's current and projected workload enables us to dedicate the necessary resources to successfully complete all elements of the project based
on our analysis of current projects that are closing out and our on -going workload. Once the contract is successfully negotiated, signed, and a
Notice to Proceed is received, the WGI team will not over -commit staff members assigned to this project. Each team member has been selected
based on their expertise and availability to ensure we have ample capacity for this contract. (Anticipated availability percentages for each team
member for the duration of this project are provided in the Projected Workload Table below.)
This project, like the previous phase of this project our team is currently working with the County, the Goodlette-Frank Ditch Improvement project,
will be staffed and managed with the same team members so that continuity and knowledge of the challenges we will encounter with this project
regarding traffic, drainage, utility conflicts, and environmental permitting; as well as the relationships that have been established, can be used
to our advantage. Our commitment to staffing and scheduling this project demonstrates that we will be able to meet the County's schedule for
completion of design, permitting and bidding and construction phase services. (See project schedule in Tab "4")
CURRENT AND PROJECTED WORKLOAD
WGI has ample manpower capacity to complete the tasks resulting from this contract. With over 650 professional and technical staff in addition to
our sub -consultants, of which many are senior level engineers, environmental experts, and surveyors, the WGI Team will be able to accommodate
all assignments and tasks generated from this project. The staff specifically selected and identified on the organizational chart will be dedicated
to completing all assignments throughout the duration of the contract.
Our current workload has been analyzed and based on this analysis; we can fully commit to successful completion of this project within the
schedule we have created. There are several significant projects with FDOT, SFWMD and a few private clients that include staff we are committing
to this project. These projects are nearing the final stages of the contract and no longer require a substantial level of effort. This allows these staff
members up to begin the initial design and permitting tasks for the Goodlette-Frank Road/Naples Zoo Stormwater Outfall project immediately!
SCHEDULING OF WORKLOADS
WGI will take full responsibility for all project management, peer review, and quality control tasks, as well as overall accountability for the planning,
development and design of each assignment. Our Project Manager, Jeff Bergmann, has successfully managed contracts of similar nature and size
for numerous governmental, institutional and private clients. Jeffrey's experience and knowledge comes from the over 38 years of managing multi-
disciplinary projects with very challenging schedules with multiple tasks and competing deadlines. He is accustomed to handling simultaneous
multi -phase assignments and has been successful in delivering high quality services to his clients. In addition, Jeff knows the importance of
communication with the client at all stages of a project especially when it comes to scheduling and addressing issues arising from either the
design, permitting or construction phases of a project.
WGI firmly believes that the ability to successfully complete projects with difficult schedules is a function of manpower and the ability to effectively
utilize that manpower. Jeffrey has at his disposal, a very talented technical and support staff including sub -consultants and a full array of field and
office innovative technology necessary to meet those demanding schedules. WGI uses several programs including Newforma Project Analyzer
and the latest version of BST-10, a powerful scheduling and workload projection program, to assist with keeping projects both organized and
updated for scheduling and budgetary purposes. This program is used by many of the Engineering News Record top 100 design firms. WGI is also
accustomed to utilizing project management platforms such as ProjectWise or ProCore to facilitate collaboration across the entire project team,
including designers, clients and contractors. Jeff has full access to reports using these programs for monitoring workload and schedules and for
accurate invoicing based on work product and deliverables.
Each task under this contract will be supported by a detailed, precedent -based schedule. These schedules will be clear, concise, include all major
milestone events, and account for workload and comprehensive quality control activities. A comprehensive contract -wide CPM database will
be prepared that will allow the County and our project manager the ability to review the progress of the project and readily identify resource
commitments and milestone dates. WGI is currently employing this scheduling technique to successfully balance resources and track multiple
active task assignments. It is a proven tool that will serve Jeffrey on this contract.

In addition, and most critical to keeping a project on schedule and under budget, is to always keep clear lines of communication open over the
duration of the project. Our philosophy is to be in constant contact with our clients, not only through e-mails, but also through regularly scheduled
meetings and telephone conversations. Keeping the client informed is paramount to a successful project. If issues arise in the design, permitting,
or construction phases of a project, and lines of communication are kept open, these issues can usually be quickly and easily resolved. Our project
manager will schedule time to meet and discuss the project on a regular basis and can schedule more frequent meetings should an issue develop.

direction for the procurement) which appears to skew the competition in favor of my firm.
Impaired objectivity — The firm has not performed work on an affiliated past or current Collier County project identified
above to evaluate proposals / past performance of itself or a competitor, which calls into question the contractor's ability to
render impartial advice to the government.

Collier County project identified above which may have provided the contractor (or an affiliate) with an unfair competitive
advantage in current or future solicitations and contracts.

and belief, all relevant facts concerning past, present, or currently planned interest or activity (financial, contractual, organizational -,--'-

Authority for the E-Verify program is found in Title IV, Subtitle A, of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant
Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), Pub. L. 104-208, 110 Stat. 3009, as amended (8 U.S.C. Section 1324a note). The
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 22.18, "Employment Eligibility Verification" and Executive Order
12989, as amended, provide authority for Federal contractors and subcontractors (Federal contractor) to use E-
Verify to verify the employment eligibility of certain employees working on Federal contracts.

RESPONSIBILITIES
A. RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE EMPLOYER
I . For purposes of this MOU, references to the Employer include the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent
when acting on behalf of the Employer.
2. By enrolling in E-Verify and signing the applicable MOU, the Employer asserts that it is a legitimate company
which intends to use E-Verify for legitimate purposes only and in accordance with the laws, regulations and
DHS policies and procedures relating to the use of E-Verify.
3. The Employer agrees to display the following notices supplied by DHS (though the Web Services E-Verify
Employer Agent) 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
4. 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.
5. The Employer agrees to become familiar with and comply with the most recent version of theE-Verify User
Manual. The Employer will obtain the E-Verify User Manual from the Web ServicesE-Verify Employer Agent,
and will be notified by the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent when a new version of the E-Verify User
Manual becomes available.
6. The Employer agrees to comply with current Form 1-9 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 1-9 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 1-551 (Permanent Resident Card), Form 1-766 (Employment
Authorization Document), or U.S. Passport or Passport Card to complete Form 1-9, the Employer
agrees to make a photocopy of the document and to retain the photocopy with the employee's Form
1-9. The Employer will use the photocopy to verify the photo and to assist DIHIS 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 1-9.
7. The Employer agrees to record the case verification number on the employee's Form 1-9 or to print the
screen containing the case verification number and attach it to the employee's Form 1-9.
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 1-9 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 1-9 procedures.
A. The following modified requirements are the only exceptions to an Employer's obligation to not
employ unauthorized workers and comply with the a nti-cliscrimi nation 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 DIHIS 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
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 1-9 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 1-9 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 1-9 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 (through its Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent) 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 ILB 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

Company ID Number:11557 Client Company ID Number:1407969
Employer obtains knowledge (as defined in 8 C.F.R. Section 274a.1(1)) 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 JDD).
15. The Employer agrees that it will use the information it receives from E-Verify (through its Web Services E-
Verify Employer Agent) 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 Personal
Identification Numbers 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@uscis.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 through its Web ServicesE-Verify
Employer Agent is governed by the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. Section 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 reasonable notice, to
review Forms 1-9 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 federal ly-approved, federal ly-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

testing, and approved for system access.
2. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to perform sufficient maintenance on the Web Services
interface in accordance with the requirements listed in the ICA. These requirements include, but are not
limited to, updating the Web Services interface to ensure that any updates or enhancements are
incorporated no later than six months after the issuance of an ICA. Web Services E-Verify Employer Agents
should be aware that this will require the investment of time and resources. Compliance with the
requirements of the ICA must be carried out to the satisfaction of DHS and or its assignees.
3. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to provide to SSA and/or DHS the names, titles,
addresses, e-mail addresses, and telephone numbers of the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent

with E-Verify. In addition, Web Services E-Verify Employer Agents must provide to SSA and/or DHS the
names, titles, addresses, and telephone numbers of its clients and their staff who will access information
through E-Verify. Web Services E-Verify Employer Agents must ensure the contact information is updated

4. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to become familiar with and comply with theE-Verify User
Manual and provide a copy of the most current version of the manual to the Employer so that the Employer
can become familiar with and comply with E-Verify policy and procedures. The Web Services E-Verify
Employer Agent agrees to obtain a revised E-Verify User Manual as it becomes available and to provide a
copy of the revised version to the Employer no later than 30 days after the manual becomes available.
5. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees that any person accessing E-Verify on its behalf is trained
on the most recent E-Verify policy and procedures.
6. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees that any of its representatives who will perform
employment verification cases will complete the E-Verify Tutorial before that individual initiates any cases.
A. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees that all of its representatives will take the
refresher tutorials initiated by E-Verify as a condition of continued use of E-Verify, including any
tutorials for Federal contractors, if any of the Employers represented by the Web Services E-Verify
Employer Agent is a Federal contractor.
B. Failure to complete a refresher tutorial will prevent the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent and
Employer from continued use of E-Verify.
7. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to grant E-Verify access only to current employees who
need E-Verify access. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent must promptly terminate an employee's E-

policies, commit sufficient personnel and resources to meet the requirements of this MOU.
10. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to provide its clients with training on E-Verify processes,
policies, and procedures. The E-Verify Employer Agent also agrees to provide its clients with ongoing E-
Verify training as needed. E-Verify is not responsible for providing training to clients of E-Verify Employer
Agents.
11. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to provide the Employer with the notices described in
Article II.B.2 below.
12. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to create E-Verify cases for the Employer it represents in
accordance with the E-Verify Manual, the E-Verify Web -Based Tutorial and all other published E-Verify rules
and procedures. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent will createE-Verify cases using information
provided by the Employer and will immediately communicate the response back to the Employer. If E-Verify
is temporarily unavailable, the three-day time period will be extended until it is again operational in order to
accommodate the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent's attempting, in good faith, to make inquiries on
behalf of the Employer during the period of unavailability. If, however, the Web Services interface is
unavailable due to no fault of E-Verify, then the three-day time period is not extended. In such a case, the
Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent must use the E-Verify browser during the outage.

materials otherwise including instructions regarding tentative nonconfirmations, will be consistent with the
most current E-Verify tentative nonconfirmation notices and referral letters, which are available on E-Verify's

14. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees that any system or interface it develops will follow the
steps for creating E-Verify cases and processing tentative nonconfirmations, as laid out in the ICA, this MOU
and the User Manual, including but not limited to allowing an employer to close an invalid case where
appropriate, allowing an employer to refer a tentative nonconfirmation only when an employee chooses to
contest a tentative nonconfirmation (no automatic referrals), and referring a tentative nonconfirmation to
the appropriate agency at the time the employer prints the referral letter and provides the letter to the
employee. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent understands that any failure to make its system or
interface consistent with proper E-Verify procedures can result in DHS terminating the Web Services E-Verify
Employer Agent's agreement and access with or without notice.
15. When the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent receives notice from a client company that it has received
a contract with the FAR clause, then the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent must update the company's
E-Verify profile within 30 days of the contract award date.
16. If data is transmitted between the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent and its client, then the Web
Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to protect personally identifiable information during transmission
to and from the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent.
17. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to notify DHS immediately in the event of a breach of
personal information. Breaches are defined as loss of control or unauthorized access toE-Verify personal
data. All suspected or confirmed breaches should be reported by calling 1-888-464-4218 or via email at .
Please use "Privacy Incident - Password" in the subject line of your email when sending a breach report to E-

of E-Verify, and to respond in a timely and accurate manner to DHS requests for information relating to their
participation in E-Verify.
A. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to cooperate with DHS if DHS requests
information about the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent's interface, including requests by DHS
to view the actual interface operated by the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent as well as
related business documents. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to demonstrate for
DHS the functionality of its interface to E-Verify upon request.
B. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to demonstrate, if requested by DHS, that it has
provided training to its clients that meets E-Verify standards. Training programs must provide a
focused study of the topics covered in the E-Verify User Manual and pertinent Supplemental Guides.
Furthermore, training programs and materials must be updated as E-Verify changes occur. The Web
Services E-Verify Employer Agent is encouraged to incorporate information from existing E-Verify
materials, including the Enrollment Quick Reference Guide, the E-Verify Employer Agent Client
Handbook (formerly known as the Designated Agent Client Handbook), and existing tutorials and
manuals into their training program. E-Verify also encourages the Web Services E-Verify Employer
Agent to supervise first-time use of the E-Verify browser or Web Services interface by its staff and

Verify Employer Agent services and any claim to that effect is false.
20. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent 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.

be used in any manner that might imply that the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent's services, products,
websites, or publications are sponsored by, endorsed by, licensed by, or affiliated with DHS, USCIS, or E-
Verify.
22. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent understands that if it uses E-Verify procedures for any purpose
other than as authorized by this MOU, the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent may be subject to
appropriate legal action and termination of its participation in E-Verify according to this MOU.
C. RESPONSIBILITIES OF FEDERAL CONTRACTORS
The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent shall ensure that the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent and the
Employers it represents carry out the following responsibilities if the Employer is a Federal contractor or becomes a
federal contractor. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent should instruct the client to keep the Web Services E-
Verify Employer Agent informed about any changes or updates related to federal contracts. It is the Web Services E-
Verify Employer Agent's responsibility to ensure that its clients are in compliance with all E-Verify policies and
procedures.
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 reverify 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.
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 1-9 as the basis for creating an E-Verify case for
an employee assigned to a contract as long as:
i. That Form 1-9 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 information reflected in the Form 1-9 either in person or in
communications with the employee to ensure that the employee's Section 1, Form 1-9
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 1-9 consistent with Article II.A.6 or update the previous
Form 1-9 to provide the necessary information if:
i. The Employer cannot determine that Form 1-9 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 1-9 contains no SSN or is otherwise incomplete.
Note: If Section 1 of Form 1-9 is otherwise valid and up-to-date and the form otherwise
complies with Article II.C.5, but reflects documentation (such as a U.S. passport or Form I-
551) that expired after completing Form 1-9, 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.
D. RESPONSIBILITIES OF SSA
1. SSA agrees to allow DHS to compare data provided by the Employer (through the E-Verify Employer Agent)
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 the E-Verify Employer Agent)
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. Section 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 E-Verify Employer Agent.

SSL/TLS (also known as HTTPS) when accessing DHS information resources such as E-Verify [NIST SP 800-
951. Internet security practices like this are necessary because Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), which
provides a basic messaging framework on which Web Services can be built, allows messages to be viewed
or modified by attackers as messages traverse the Internet and is not independently designed with all the
necessary security protocols for E-Verify use.
2. In accordance with DHS standards, the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to maintain physical,
electronic, and procedural safeguards to appropriately protect the information shared under this MOU
against loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, and improper disclosure, copying use, modification or

changes. In addition, Web Services E-Verify Employer Agents whose interfaces do not support the Form 1-9
from 2/2/2009 or 8/7/2009 should also use the E-Verify browser until the system upgrade is completed.
6. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to use the E-Verify browser instead of its own interface if
it has not completed updates to its system within six months from the date DHS notifies the Web Services E-
Verify Employer Agent of the system update. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent can resume use of
its interface once it is up-to-date, unless the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent has been suspended or
terminated from continued use of the system.

that is not subject to any agreement that would restrict access to and use of by an agency of the United
States.
2. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to develop effective controls to ensure the integrity,
accuracy and reliability of its electronic system.
3. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to develop an inspection and quality assurance program
that regularly, at least once per year, evaluates the electronic system, and includes periodic checks of
electronically stored information. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to share the results of
its regular inspection and quality assurance program with DHS upon request.
4. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees to develop an electronic system with the ability to
produce legible copies of applicable notices, letters, etc.

with respect to any information that is deemed Personally Identifiable Information (1311), including but not
limited to the employee or applicant's Social Security number, alien number, date of birth, or other
information that may be used to identify the individual.
6. Suspected and confirmed information security breaches must be reported to DHS according to Article
II.A.17. Reporting such breaches does not relieve the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent from further
requirements as directed by state and local law. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent is subject to
applicable state laws regarding data protection and incident reporting in addition to the requirements
herein.
E. SOFTWARE DEVELOPER RESTRICTIONS
1. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees that if it develops a Web Services interface and sells such
interface, then it can be held liable for any misuse by the company that purchases the interface. It is the
responsibility of the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent to ensure that its interface is used in accordance
with E-Verify policies and procedures.

the MOU may result in account suspension, termination, or other adverse action.
2. DHS is not liable for any financial losses to Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent, its clients, or any other
party as a result of your account suspension or termination.
ARTICLE VI
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.
B. TERMINATION
1. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent may terminate this MOU and its participation in E-Verify at any
time upon 30 days prior written notice to the other parties. In addition, any Employer represented by the

notice. The Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent may not refuse to terminate the Employer based upon an
outstanding bill for verification services.
2. Notwithstanding Article V, part A of this MOU, DHS may terminate this MOU, and thereby the Web Services
E-Verify Employer Agent'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 Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent or Employer, or a failure
on the part of either party 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. A Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent for 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 Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent must provide written notice to DHS. If the Web Services E-
Verify Employer Agent 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 Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent agrees that E-Verify is not liable for any losses, financial or
otherwise, if the Web Services E-Verify Employer Agent or the Employer is terminated from E-Verify.
ARTICLE Vill
PARTIES
