Staff is recommending that the Board approve the selection committee's ranking and authorize staff to begin
contract negotiations with the top -ranked firm, AECOM Technical Services, Inc., in accordance with Florida
Statutes, Section 287.055, the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act (the "CCNA").

consideration at a future meeting.
This item is consistent with the Collier County strategic plan objective to design and maintain an effective
transportation system to reduce traffic congestion and improve the mobility of our residents and visitors.
FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of this item does not result in a direct fiscal impact; however, the source of
funding for the future contract (subject to the Board's approval at a subsequent meeting) will be Surtax funds.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for
Board approval. -SRT
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This recommendation is consistent with the Long -Range

way/easement line. All driveways/turnouts along the corridor shall be replaced with concrete, except where the existing
driveway has brick pavers (the existing pavers shall be removed, stored and replaced). The limits of the driveway
replacement shall terminate at the right-of-way and shall match the existing driveway.

of hammer driving system(s) included in the Pile Installation Plan. Provide analyses results (estimated
blow count ranges for the nominal bearing resistances, installation stresses etc.) to the DGE.
• Schedule a pre -pile installation meeting to review and discuss the pile installation procedures. Make sure
the Contractor's field superintendent, CEI's pile inspectors, and the DGE are invited. Prepare and
distribute meeting minutes to the attendees.
• Provide personnel proficient in operation of the PDA or EDC monitoring equipment required for the
project, for data collection, interpretation and analysis. Utilize the most current version of equipment and
software for dynamic testing and dynamic data analysis.
• Perform dynamic testing per the contract documents during initial driving and redrives. Submit electronic
Pile Driving Analyzer (PDA) and Embedded Data Collector (EDC) files upon completion of the test pile
installation.
* Inspect and record the test pile driving process in accordance with CPAM.
Perform signal matching analysis on test pile data for selected blows, using the latest software version. At
a minimum, signal matching analysis shall be performed on initial drive data where required resistance is
obtained below the minimum tip elevation and on set -check data (if any). If requested in special
circumstances, the end of drive signal matching analysis will be performed in the field upon completion
of the drive; otherwise, it shall be completed within 24 hours of driving the instrumented pile.
Analyze the test data and available soils data as required to establish production pile lengths and driving
criteria. The analysis must include signal matching analysis and wave equation calibration analysis to
determine a pile driving -soil system model that will predict accurately driving resistance with stroke (or
pressure) and blows per foot while matching transferred energy and dynamic stresses with the ones
measured in the field. Submit preliminary report(s) recommending production pile lengths and driving
criteria to the DGE for approval. The preliminary report shall include printed & plotted Signal Matching
and Wave Equation Analysis outputs, and electronic files (Windows compatible) of all raw data obtained
by the PDA and EDC equipment and the signal matching and wave equation analyses.
Furnish final written letters, signed and sealed, for production pile lengths and the dance with CPAM.
When applicable, include recommendations to determine "firm bearing material".

• Observe and verify that concrete piles were properly supported during storage and handlE�E]
appropriate pick-up details per contract documents.
• Inspect the pile driving installation. Complete the FDOT pile driving logs.
• Observe the performance of any static or statnamic load tests and review the details are implemented as
planned.
• Evaluate problems encountered during construction and coordinate with the DGE and the Contractor to
resolve such problems, including possible additional testing and withdrawing the Pile Installation Plan.
Syread Footin2s:
Observe construction of spread footing foundations and verify that they are founded at the required
elevation and on the proper soil/rock material.
Verify the Construction Plan requirements and the applicable specifications are followed throughout the
spread footing construction.
Evaluate problems encountered during construction and coordinate with the DGE and the Contractor to
resolve such problems.
QUALITY ASSURANCE (OA) PROGRAM
11.1 Ouality Assurance Plan
Within thirty (30) days after receiving award of an Agreement, furnish a QA Plan to the Construction Project
Manager. The QA Plan shall detail the procedures, evaluation criteria, and instructions of the Consultant's
organization for providing services pursuant to this Agreement. Unless specifically waived, no payment shall be
made until the Division approves the Consultant QA Plan.
Significant changes to the work requirements may require the Consultant to revise the QA Plan. It shall be the
responsibility of the Consultant to keep the plan current with the work requirements. The Plan shall include, but
not be limited to, the following areas:
A. Or2anization:
A description is required of the Consultant QA Organization and its ftinctional relationship to the part of
the organization performing the work under the Agreement. The authority, responsibilities and autonomy
of the QA organization shall be detailed as well as the names and qualifications of personnel in the quality cm
control organization. r-

E. Quality Assurance Certification:
An officer of the Consultant firm shall certify that the inspection and documentation was done in
accordance with FDOT specifications, plans, standard indexes, and FDOT procedures.
Packet Pg. 467
11.2 Quality Assurance Reviews
Conduct semi-annual Quality Assurance Reviews to ensure compliance with the requirements of the Agreement.
Quality Assurance Reviews shall be conducted to evaluate the adequacy of materials, processes, documentation,
procedures, training, guidance, and staffing included in the execution of this Agreement. Quality Assurance
Reviews shall also be developed and performed to achieve compliance with specific QA provisions contained in
this Agreement. The semi-annual reviews shall be submitted to the Construction Project Manager in written form
no later than one (1) month after the review.
For this project, the CCEI shall perforrn an initial QA review within the first two (2) months of the start of
construction.
The CCEI shall perform an initial QA review on its asphalt inspection staff after the Contractor has completed ten
(10) full work days of mainline asphalt paving operations, or 25% of the asphalt pay item amount (whichever is
less) to validate that all sampling, testing, inspection, and documentation are occurring as required of the CCEI
staff.
11.3 Quality Records
Maintain adequate records of the quality assurance actions performed by the organization (including subcontractors
and vendors) in providing services and products under this Agreement. All records shall indicate the nature and
number of observations made, the number and type of deficiencies found, and the corrective actions taken. All
records shall be available to the Division, upon request, during the Agreement term. All records shall be kept at the
primary job site and shall be subject to audit review.
