2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION & BACKGROUND
The project encompasses a 3-mile section of Everglades Boulevard, from the intersection with Oil Well Road extending south
past the intersection of Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension. Oil Well Road intersects with a series of future planned communities
while Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension (under construction) provides a direct route for those commuting from the Estates to
Naples. The improvements proposed will provide connectivity and roadway enhancements to those communities and improve
emergency response times and safety along the corridor.
The CONSULTANT shall investigate the status of any active and/or recently completed projects and become familiar with
concepts and commitments (typical sections, alignments, Developer Contribution Agreements, etc.) developed from prior studies
and/or activities. The CONSULTANT shall incorporate all future improvements by “others” as an existing condition unless
otherwise directed by the COUNTY Project Manager.
The existing typical section, going southbound from Oil Well Road to 29th Avenue NE, starts as a 6-lane divided highway and
tapers down to two lanes, respectively. There are bike lanes, but they end at 31st Avenue NE. There are no pedestrian facilities.
The existing typical section of the undivided roadway from 29th Avenue NE to Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension consists of two
12-foot travel lanes, narrow unpaved shoulders, and roadside ditches on both sides. No sidewalks or bike lanes are on either side
of the existing roadway.
The proposed roadway improvements for this project consist of additional lane width and shoulders by widening to the west of
the existing roadway, stormwater drainage and ponds, and traffic signals.
The new typical roadway section will have four 11-foot wide travel lanes with 7-foot bike lanes on each side along the entire
length of the project. On the west side of the roadway a 6-foot concrete sidewalk will be constructed to connect paths from Oil
Well Road to Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension.
Traffic signals are installed at the intersections of Everglades Boulevard and the following streets:

up meetings. (ASCE Quality Level D).
• Review all information that can be obtained and plot on utility composite drawing (CADD file to be furnished). (ASCE
Page 1206 of 5277
Quality Level D).
• Make field observations to identify visible above-ground utility features. Provide all information in field sketches so
surveyor can prepare a complete survey and plot a rectilinear grid. (ASCE Quality Level C)
• Use appropriate surface geophysical methods (i.e., pipe and cable locators, terrain conductivity methods, resistively
measurements, metal detectors, Ground Penetrating Radar, etc.) to designate existing subsurface utilities or to trace a
particular utility system. This provides two-dimensional horizontal information. Place paint marks on the ground. Place
identification flags or stakes on the paint marks or coding on the pavement and survey to project controls. Depict resulting
information via computer aided design and drafting (CADD). Provide notes and sketches to designer of record and/or on-
site engineer. Non-tonable (non-metallic) utilities will be discussed at this time with the designer of record and/or on-site
engineer. (ASCE Quality Level B).
• Meet with designer of record and/or on-site engineer to determine utility conflicts and ASCE Quality Level A test hole
locations.
• Expose selected subsurface utilities to obtain three-dimensional information. Use minimally intrusive excavation
methods, such as vacuum excavation and Air-Lance. Depict resulting information. Resolve differences between all
information gathered. Provide test hole data sheets (THDS) to designer of record and/or on-site engineer. All test holes are
to be back-filled as described below. (ASCE Quality Level A).
On completion, test holes shall be restored to the following:
a. Backfilled with in-kind material
b. Placed backfill using proper techniques
c. Restored pavement with in-kind material
d. Restored areas outside of pavement to pre-excavation conditions

32 NOISE BARRIERS IMPACT DESIGN ASSESSMENT IN THE DESIGN PHASE
The CONSULTANT shall fulfill the commitments resulting from the traffic noise analysis and noise barrier evaluation performed
during the Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Phase, as directed and clarified by the COUNTY.
The noise analysis shall be performed in accordance with the FDOT's Noise Policy (Part 2, Chapter 17 of the FDOT's PD&E
Manual) and the FDOT's Traffic Noise Modeling and Analysis Guidelines. The noise analysis and noise abatement evaluation
shall be performed by or supervised/reviewed by a person(s) who has attended the Department's Traffic Noise Analysis training
course or has attended and successfully completed the National Highway Institute's Highway Traffic Noise Course (FHWA-NHI-
142051). The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) approved noise model, the Traffic Noise Model (TNM) Version 2.5 (or
most current version) shall be used for the noise analysis, unless otherwise directed by the COUNTY.
32.1 Noise Analysis
The CONSULTANT shall review the preferred PD&E alternative to identify any design changes that would require a
reanalysis of traffic noise. Coordination will be held with the District Environmental Management Office, prior to initiating
any reanalysis, to discuss possible effects of design changes on the validity of in the noise study performed during PD&E.
The CONSULTANT shall perform a land use review to identify noise sensitive sites that may have received a building
permit subsequent to the PD&E noise study but prior to the Date of Public Knowledge (DPK), or to identify areas where the
land use may have changed or is subject to change. New noise sensitive sites meeting DPK requirements that were not
considered during the PD&E phase will be subject to a traffic noise analysis to be performed by the CONSULTANT.
Additionally, noise sensitive sites analyzed in the PD&E phase may have to be re-analyzed if affected by design changes.
The CONSULTANT shall review any commitments made during the PD&E phase regarding possible traffic noise impacts
to special use locations. Analysis of special use locations shall be performed using the FDOT's "A Method to Determine
Reasonableness and Feasibility of Noise Abatement at Special Use Locations" document and shall be coordinated with the
District Environmental Management Office.
Page 1211 of 5277
The CONSULTANT shall review the commitments made during the PD&E phase regarding noise barrier concepts
determined to be potentially feasible and reasonable. The CONSULTANT will update the analysis of feasibility and
reasonableness for noise barriers recommended for further consideration during the design phase and for any additional
noise barriers required, using design information (e.g., profile data, horizontal alignment data, etc.) and incorporate into the
analysis any new conditions or additional costs related to noise barrier construction that have been identified during design.
A design phase noise analysis will be performed at any additional locations required (based on DPK requirements or roadway
design changes). Additional survey may also be required at proposed barrier locations.
Changes to, or fulfillment of, the original noise abatement commitments made during PD&E shall be documented in a Noise
Study Report (NSR) Addendum to be prepared by the CONSULTANT in coordination with the District Environmental
Management Office. A copy of the final NSR Addendum shall be provided to the District Environmental Management
Office.
Traffic Data: The CONSULTANT shall review the traffic data obtained during the PD&E phase to determine if the data
remains valid for design phase reanalysis. If the traffic data is no longer valid, the CONSULTANT shall provide to the noise
analyst the following data for each road segment (i.e. intersection to intersection) for the design year with the proposed
improvements to the road:
Level of Service C (LOS C) directional volumes
Demand peak hour volumes (peak and off-peak directions)
Posted speed
Percentage of heavy trucks (HT) in the design hour
Percentage of medium trucks (MT) in the design hour
Percentage of buses in the design hour
Percentage of motorcycles (MC) in the design hour
Except for LOS C volumes, the data above shall also be provided for all interchange/highway ramps. The COUNTY Project
Manager may also identify cross streets for which the same data is necessary. (i.e., a cross street for which noise sensitive
sites are in close proximity to the project). The CONSULTANT shall contact the COUNTY Project Manager for direction
on the format to be used for providing the traffic data and any requirements regarding approval of the data prior to its use for
noise analysis. The traffic data to be used in the noise analysis must be generated by a qualified traffic engineer/planner who
works for the COUNTY or is a COUNTY consultant.
32.2 Noise Barrier Evaluation
The CONSULTANT will present the data along with recommendations to the COUNTY for selection of the noise barrier's
locations, barriers heights and lengths to be incorporated into the design plans. These recommendations shall consider the
noise barrier feasibility and reasonableness.
An evaluation of proposed noise barriers will be performed to identify any engineering conflicts or constraints. The
CONSULTANT will be responsible for documenting any resolutions to engineering conflicts or issues that require
modification to or preclude construction of a noise barrier. At a minimum, the engineering review will consider the
following:
Right of way needs including access rights (air, light, view, ingress/egress, outdoor advertising conflicts)
Limited access issues
Necessary construction and maintenance easements
Safety issues (e.g., line of sight)
Maintenance issues
Structural and vegetative restrictions within easement
Utility conflicts
Drainage issues
Environmental issues
Page 1212 of 5277
Other criteria as applicable
The CONSULTANT shall re-analyze noise barrier(s) for feasibility and reasonableness and re-establish barrier height and
length if design constraints require alteration in a barrier's location or dimensions.
After reestablishing the recommended height and length of the barrier(s), the CONSULTANT shall coordinate with design
engineers and the COUNTY Project Manager to include the barrier(s) on the design plans. In addition, the CONSULTANT
will present a memo to the COUNTY Project Manager containing a recommendation for selection of the barrier height and
length to be carried forward for public input. This recommendation shall consider amount of noise reduction provided,
engineering constraints and cost (reasonableness). In addition, the CONSULTANT will also consider the overall visual
appearance in relation to the existing and proposed site conditions. This includes smoothing the profile along the top of a
noise barrier to the extent possible while minimizing any loss in the amount of noise reduction provided and extending the
ends of a noise barrier to cover additional receivers. Extending the ends of a noise barrier will not exceed the cost criteria
and will only be performed when it is appropriate and in the public interest.
32.3 Public Involvement
If noise barriers are determined to be feasible and cost reasonable, the CONSULTANT shall carry out the public involvement
and surveys necessary to report to the COUNTY whether or not the majority of the impacted and/or benefited receptors
desire the construction of a noise barrier. Input shall also be obtained from the public regarding barrier aesthetics (color and
texture) on one or both sides of the barrier. The CONSULTANT shall be responsible for coordinating with local government
officials.
As a minimum, the following tasks shall be completed by the CONSULTANT for public involvement purposes:
Identification of impacted and/or benefited property owners
Identification of renters and non-residing property owners (for a property that may be rented)
Preparation of a mailing list (property owners, renters and non-residing property owners)
Preparation of a summary package (including an information letter, aerial showing the noise barrier location and a
survey form to document the recipients position to be sent to property owners, and occupants/non-residing property owners
informing them of the proposed noise barrier
If necessary, preparation of additional mailings and/or door-to-door/telephone surveys until a majority decision is
obtained or until directed by the COUNTY Project Manager
Tallying of survey results
Noise barrier aesthetics coordination
Public meetings coordination (including arranging the meeting location, advertisements, displays, etc.)
Responding to public inquiries on an individual basis in coordination with the COUNTY.
The CONSULTANT shall bring to the attention of the COUNTY unforeseen conditions and issues which are relevant to the
project decision. Other than noise barrier length, height and location, the CONSULTANT shall abstain from indicating
preferences for any of the barrier options prior to or during contact with the property owners unless specifically requested to
do so by the COUNTY. Following the public involvement process, the CONSULTANT shall produce a final noise barrier
recommendation that identifies the starting and ending points for all noise barriers, the top elevation(s), and the aesthetic
elements to be provided (e.g. - color, texture, graphics).
32.4 Outdoor Advertising Identification
The CONSULTANT shall identify potential noise barriers that may block the view of an existing lawfully erected sign that
is governed by and conforms to state and federal requirements for land use, size, height and spacing consistent with the
requirements of Florida Statute (FS) 479.25 and the FDOT Noise Policy (Part 2, Chapter 17 of the PD&E Manual). The
CONSULTANT shall notify the COUNTY Project Manager of a potential noise barrier(s) that may affect the visibility of a
legally permitted outdoor advertising sign. Resolution of the potential conflict shall be documented in the NSR and included
in the environmental document.

COVER LETTER
Dear Selection Committee Members:
To successfully complete the Everglades Boulevard
Widening Design, the Collier County Transportation
Engineering Division (County) needs to partner with a
proven, local team of consultants with a comprehensive
understanding of the required roadway design elements,
bicycle and pedestrian needs, CCPS infrastructure, existing
and proposed site conditions, proposed development,
access management, constructability issues, needed utility
relocations, drainage requirements, and “Critical Path”
schedule items such as Permitting and ROW acquisition.
Jacobs is that team!
As documented in the Collier MPO 2045 Long Range
Transportation Plan, the Collier MPO 2050 Long Range
Transportation Plan (Draft), the Randall Boulevard and Oil
Well Road Corridor Study, the Randall Boulevard and
Immokalee Road Project Development and Environment
(PD&E) Study, and the Everglades Boulevard Interchange
Justification Report, the widening of Everglades Boulevard
is a key component of the County’s future plans to improve
the overall traffic network and system connectivity in
Golden Gate Estates and the eastern Collier County area.
Everglades Boulevard will be the first four-lane north-south
roadway east of Wilson Boulevard and will improve mobility
and connectivity along the corridor and within the area. The
future Everglades Boulevard will need to accommodate
more than 44,000 (AADT) vehicles north of Randall
Boulevard, and nearly 30,000 (AADT) vehicles south of
Randall Boulevard once the Vanderbilt Beach Road
Extension (VBRX) is constructed (per latest Florida
Department of Transportation [FDOT] District 1 Traffic
Model). This design project should not only consider the
future intersection of VBRX Phase II along its corridor, but
also the future Randall Boulevard Widening project and the
future Oil Well Road Widening Project.Jacobs has unique
and specific experience along all these corridors,
including Everglades Boulevard (See Section 3)!
It is crucial that the County’s consultant team understands the complexities associated
with these intertwining network projects, as well as the many associated design,
permitting, and construction challenges associated with Everglades Boulevard.
As shown in the above typical section, the Everglades Boulevard Widening project is
very similar to the Wilson Boulevard Widening project, that Jacobs is currently
designing. Based on our direct project experience with not only the Wilson Boulevard
Widening Corridor Study and Design, as well as all projects shown in Section 3 Past
Performance, Jacobs has an exceptional understanding of this project’s unique needs
and is ready to help the County deliver this project efficiently and effectively. The 2-
lane to 4-lane widening will require significant ROW (easement) for the typical section,
as well as the pond sites required for stormwater treatment and attenuation, and
floodplain impact compensation.Note:The proposed 10’ pathway (not in RPS) is
shown since the latest FDOT SUN Trail Network route is currently proposing
Everglades Boulevard as the north-south connection from Vanderbilt Beach Road to
Oil Well Road. The FDOT SUN Trail Network project (FDIP 455291-1-22-01) is
currently in the procurement process.
Our team, led by Project Manager (PM) Bill Gramer, PE, AICP, has full access to all the
staff resources required to deliver the Everglades Boulevard Widening Design project.
Bill has 37 years of transportation planning, design, and construction experience and
has managed or coordinated 15 of our firm’s major Collier County roadway projects and
15 general service Contracts. Bill will be your primary point of contact, and he’ll
leverage his experience delivering County projects with aggressive schedules and
stakeholder coordination challenges to lead our talented, multi-firm team in advancing

1. ABILITY OF PROFESSIONAL PERSONNEL
Our team members know Collier County and
understand every aspect of the Everglades Boulevard
Widening Design Project.
The Everglades Boulevard Widening Design team must possess the right combination
of technical expertise and relevant experience to seamlessly advance the design to
construction. This requires a team with knowledge of the project’s technical
complexities including associated drainage and permitting requirements,
constructability constraints, temporary traffic control (TTC) requirements and ROW
needs (roadway and ponds).
Our team possesses institutional knowledge of the various project components,
including existing and future traffic, urban roadway typical section requirements,
bicycle and pedestrian needs, existing and future development conformance, access
management criteria, environmental impacts and mitigation, utility coordination and
relocations, and project stakeholder involvement.
As the team who delivered the Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension Project, Oil Well Road
Widening Segments I, II, & III, the Randall Boulevard and Oil Well Road Corridor Study
(all successful projects within the project area),we are confident that we have the
technical expertise, local, relevant experience, and established relationships to deliver
this project in a streamlined, timely, and cost-effective manner. We will capitalize on
our previous design project experience to provide implementable, cost-effective
solutions that protect environmentally sensitive resources and build
consensus by engaging the multiple project stakeholders.The relevant
experience our team has delivering the nearby Wilson Boulevard Corridor
Study and actively designing the Wilson Boulevard Widening Project will
allow our experienced team to immediately move into design without unexpected
issues, as Everglades Boulevard Widening and Wilson Boulevard Widening are two
very similar projects.
Our Team will Focus on Critical Project Elements
Our experience designing Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension, Wilson Boulevard
Widening, and conducting the Wilson Boulevard Corridor Widening Study allows us to
hit the ground running on this project. We already have a deep understanding of the
project’s challenges, particularly with utilities, drainage, pond site acquisition and ROW
needs, giving us a head start on locking in the design footprint and expediting
permitting to move this project from design to construction on time and with potential
cost savings for the County.
Our task leads will focus on the following “CRITICAL PATH”project components:
1.ROW needs for the widening and associated stormwater treatment facilities –
Provide 12 Month Schedule for ROW acquisition (From Sketch and Description)
2.SFWMD ERP, FDEP Permit, SFWMD ROW Permit(s) – Provide 9-12 Month Schedule
for Permit(s)
These two Critical Path Items will require early resolution of the following design
components:
Roadway Typical Section –Final Refinement to Typical Section, Turn-lane
requirements, access management, Bicycle and Pedestrian Access
Environmental Surveys (including Wetland, T&E Species, etc.) – Surveys,
Coordination and Field Reviews with Agencies
Drainage Basin and Pond Location Refinement –Proximity to residential
well sites, residential septic fields, and conveyance and discharge locations
Access management for planned developments along Everglades Boulevard
Utility easements required utility agencies (FPL, Comcast, Summit
Broadband) – Our team has already completed a Sunshine One Call to
identify known agency utilities in the area.
Constructability, construction phasing, and TTC – Traffic requirements,
adjacent residential requirements (access, safety, etc.)
Roadway Design
Our team members have already performed preliminary engineering analyses for the
corridor and associated intersection improvements. There are several constraints and
considerations along the project corridor, including the residential properties and
driveways, non-residential properties, school bus accommodation, pedestrian
accommodation (including children’s access to bus stops), and more. To minimize
impacts as much as possible, we evaluated multiple typical section options to find the
optimal typical section and roadway alignment. We are proposing the need for a
165’ ROW (32.5’ from the west and east in addition to the 100’ ROW),with the
need for a 10’ shared use pathway to accommodate the SUN Trail Network,
provide a pathway for children to nearest bus stop/pick-up (side streets), and
tie into Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension Phase II northern pathway.

Drainage
Drainage is a major issue for this project, as flooding occurs
along the roadway and adjacent properties during
moderate rain events. The major flooding on the corridor’s
side streets that occurs during normal rain events will need
to be addressed.
Our team will coordinate with County ROW
department for early identification of potential pond
sites (well ahead of a typical design schedule) due to
the rapid development of residential homes on top of limited,
viable pond sites. Our team has developed a set of procedures
during the Wilson Boulevard Widening Design for early
identification of potential pond sites for the County and Board of
County Commissioner approval and County acquisition of the
pond site.
As an example of the rapid development in the area 10 parcels were
all under development at the same time earlier this year, (as
pictured to the right) just south of the project limits (between 10th
AVE NE and 8th AVE NE). Similar to Wilson Boulevard Widening Design, rapid
development along the corridor will limit pond site alternatives and require an
accelerated acquisition process for pond sites.
Traffic
Because of our experience managing the Collier MPO 2045 and 2050 Long Range
Transportation Plans, as well as traffic studies associated with the
Wilson Boulevard Corridor Study, Vanderbilt Beach Road Corridor
Study, and Randall Boulevard Corridor Study projects, our team is
uniquely familiar with the traffic needs in the area.
We will perform traffic analyses at the
intersections of 18th AVE NE, Randall
Boulevard, and Oil Well Road to provide the
appropriate intersection configurations that
meet future traffic operation demands. 18th
AVE NE feeds Sabal Palm Elementary and
Cypress Palm Middle School, and we will
ensure the turn lanes and turning radii will
accommodate the needs for the influx of
school traffic and buses. Our traffic experience involves analyzing intersection control
evaluation and traffic signal physical and operational requirements to optimize
efficiency and safety, signal warrant and interconnection analyses, and final design
plans, specifications, cost estimates, and construction contract documents. Our team
has performed this type of work for cities, counties, and FDOT.
Construction
We have significant County
experience on construction
projects where we performed
constructability and biddability
reviews of our or other firms
design plans. Our team includes
licensed Florida contractors and
inspectors who possess the
critical local knowledge to serve the County, including construction phase and
construction engineering and inspection experience on roadway, bridge, and sidewalk
projects.
Our team will work with the County ROW department to coordinate with homeowners
to ensure their new driveway’s tie-down to their existing driveway will have a smaller
slope that allows for a smoother driving experience for the homeowner and is more
conducive for low-riding cars.As part of our Wilson Boulevard Widening Design,
our team has identified several driveways that will require “Rights of Entry”
that extend beyond the proposed ROW; this is done in coordination with the
homeowner to ensure the homeowner is receiving a driveway that meets
standards and maintains high stakeholder approval. Our team will implement that
same design philosophy in the Everglades Boulevard Widening Design.
Community/Business Coordination
The surrounding land along the project corridor
is primarily residential, and our experience with
the public outreach will prove invaluable to
gaining consensus. Based on our experience
with the public feedback from the Wilson
Boulevard Widening Corridor Study and
Randall Boulevard Corridor Study, the major
public concerns we anticipate with this project
will include ROW acquisition, pedestrian and
bicycle safety, lighting, access management
changes, flooding, and general aesthetics. We
have successfully prepared for and held more than 100 Public Meetings, HOA Meetings,
One on Ones, etc. (formal and informal) and worked with numerous stakeholders on
other County projects in the area, including Vanderbilt Beach Road, Wilson Boulevard,
Oil Well Road, Collier Boulevard, Immokalee Road, and Randall Boulevard.
Construction of Southbound Lanes will commence while
traffic flows on existing roadway (Phase I), then switch over
to construct the northbound lanes (Phase II).

Permitting and Regulatory Experience in Southwest Florida
Because of our experience in Collier County and
particularly the Golden Gate Estates area, we have
valuable insight on latest agency concerns and processes,
which allows us to streamline the application and review
process and expedite wherever feasible. Potential
permitting issues for this project include wetland impact
mitigation, panther habitat mitigation (secondary zone
impacts), gopher tortoise mitigation, floodplain
compensation, and impacts to other listed species. We
have successfully worked with the SFWMD, USACE, and
FDEP and prepared permitting plans that meet state and
federal guidelines.
Based on our experience with the Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension (VBRX)
project and Wilson Boulevard Widening project, we anticipate a Florida
bonneted bat survey may/will be required as well as gopher tortoise
mitigation. Our local team members have extensive experience surveying
wetlands and assessing sites for gopher tortoise mitigation needs.
We have successfully worked with the South Florida Water Management District
(SFWMD), US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Florida Department of Environmental
Protection (FDEP) and FDOT reviewing the plans for meeting state and federal
guidelines. Our experience in Collier County and the Golden Gate Estates area keeps us
up to date on the latest agency concerns and processes, allowing us to streamline the
application and review process and expedite wherever feasible.

The Jacobs Team Experience
Within and/or Near the Project Corridor
Under this study and design, our team evaluated alternatives to widen Wilson
Boulevard from Golden Gate Boulevard to Immokalee Road (approximately 3.2
miles) from a two-lane undivided roadway to a four-lane divided roadway with curb
and gutter. We evaluated alternative alignments to improve mobility, enhance safety,
and accommodate future traffic volumes while avoiding or minimizing impacts to the
community and natural environment. Proposed improvements also included the
addition of sidewalks, a shared-use path, bike lanes for improved multimodal
mobility, and bus stop enhancements. Additional project elements included changes
to access at the intersections, drainage system upgrades, bridge replacement, utility
relocation, and acquisition of right-of-way (ROW).
This Everglades Blvd Widening project shares multiple similarities to the Wilson
Blvd Widening project, including typical section, ROW needs, constructability
issues, side street access, drainage needs, wetland impacts, and environmental
impacts.
During the design, our team has held numerous coordination meetings with
developers to review site plans, access management, fair-share cost estimates,
drainage assessments, and more. Additionally, we have coordinated with numerous
homeowners who are constructing their house along the corridor to discuss the
construction of their fence/gate. Our team has identified drainage requirements,
including pond site locations, early in the process to expedite ROW acquisition due to
limited available parcels along the corridor for ponds.
Jacobs managed design for the extension of Vanderbilt Beach Road, a new 7-mile
road from east of Collier Boulevard (CR 951) to 16th Street Northeast. We led public
involvement, roadway design, drainage, permitting, maintenance of traffic (MOT),
structural design, environmental surveys, traffic, noise, aesthetics, survey,
geotechnical, access management, and utility services. The project includes relocating
a 2-mile section of the Cypress Canal to the south of the roadway and three new
bridges at Curry Canal, Corkscrew Canal, and Orange Tree Canal. Minor improvements
to existing intersecting streets included Weber Boulevard, Danbury Boulevard, Massey
Street, Douglas Street, Wilson Boulevard, 8th Street Northeast, 16th Street Northeast
and a new intersection to Greyhawk Trail for the Golf Club of The Everglades.
Our team provided stormwater design for 16 drainage basins, including 11 wet
detention ponds and 5 dry detention ponds to treat water quality prior to
discharge to the canals.The project included continuous coordination with SFWMD
conceptual Environmental Resource Program and construction permits. The project
also included utility relocation and wastewater, potable, and raw water main design.
The project included ROW acquisition of over 300 parcels comprising of 314 acres.
We conducted an environmental assessment, developing innovative approaches to
wetland delineations and Florida Land Use, Cover, and Forms Classification System
mapping using a mobile data collection platform. The project included a listed
species assessment and surveys as well as wetland and other surface water impacts.
Jacobs successfully coordinated mitigation credits for the County to purchase from
mitigation banks to address impacts to both wetlands and the Florida panther. An
environmental resource permit was issued by SFWMD in 2021 with a single request
for additional information. We coordinated with USACE and FDEP and obtained a state
404 permit.

the extra treatment and attenuation constructed as part of the Collier Boulevard
Phase I Widening Project to satisfy the permitting requirements of the Collier
Boulevard Phase III Widening Project.
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 1 initiated a Project
Development and Environment (PD&E) study to evaluate proposed improvements at
the intersection of Immokalee Road (County Road 846) and Randall Boulevard in
Collier County, Florida. Intersection capacity improvements are needed to
accommodate the projected future traffic demand. The proposed project will improve
future intersection operations and result in enhanced mobility and safety.
Additionally, intersection improvements will increase regional transportation network
connectivity, reduce crashes, improve operations on existing evacuation routes, and
expand multi-modal access to pedestrian and bicycle traffic in the area.
We prepared an initial alternatives technical memorandum to document the need for
the project, developed intersection improvement alternatives, and conducted a
preliminary comparative evaluation based on engineering constraints, environmental
effects, and preliminary cost estimates. Proposed alternatives include at-grade
alternatives and grade-separated alternatives to increase the intersection capacity.
Jacobs delivered design plans for the median widening of 1.7 miles of the existing
four-lane roadway to a six-lane roadway. Tasks included public involvement meetings,
roadway design, drainage, permitting (SFWMD), MOT, structural design of a double
barrel 9’ x 5’ box culvert to replace an existing 72” pipe, traffic, noise, aesthetics,
survey, geotechnical, access management, and utility services. The design bid plans
have been submitted, and construction is anticipated to start in the summer of 2025.
Johnson Engineering and Capital Consulting were sub consultants on this project,
providing a synergy and familiarity that will carry over to this project.
Our team has also held numerous public
engagement meetings with the Pelican Marsh
Community, homeowners’ association boards,
and Naples Christian Church to educate the
stakeholders about the impacts of the widening
and the box culvert installation, and how our
team has implemented multiple mitigation
efforts to minimize impact to their
establishments.

Jacobs designed the widening of 1.5 miles of State Road 806/Atlantic AVE from an
existing 2-lane rural roadway to a 4-lane divided roadway with accommodations for a
future 6-lane roadway (median widening). The project included 6’ sidewalks and 7’
buffered bicycle lanes on both sides of the roadway, expanding the intersection of SR
7 and SR 806 to include a third northbound and southbound through lane and a
second northbound right turn lane on SR 7, expanding the intersection of Lyons Rd
and SR 806 to include three eastbound and westbound lanes, dual eastbound and
westbound left turn lanes, and single eastbound and westbound right turn lanes, and
to relocate Lake Worth Drainage District L-34 Canal to accommodate the widening.
This process also engaged the public with an in-person public involvement meeting in
coordination with FDOT.
Jacobs conducted a congestion analysis for future (5-year and 20-year) conditions
along a 2.3-mile segment of Immokalee Road from Livingston Road to Logan
Boulevard, including nine intersections. Our team obtained traffic counts, evaluated
surrounding land use, and projected traffic forecasts along the corridor and at the
intersections for existing (2019), 2025, and 2040 conditions. Due to the severe
congestion projected and limited ROW available, we performed an alternatives
analysis to evaluate both conventional and innovative alternatives at each of the
intersections. The corridor was modeled in SYNCHRO software by Trafficware to
conduct the analysis for delay, volume to capacity ratio, and level of service for
existing and future conditions under the no-build and build scenarios. Types of
innovative improvements evaluated at each of the nine intersections using the FDOT’s
Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE)process and evaluated intersection types
included a continuous-flow intersection (CFI), jug handle, single point urban
interchange (SPUI), restricted crossing U-turn (R-CUT), diverging diamond
interchange (DDI), median U-turn (MUT), and Continuous Green-T, as applicable.
We prepared concepts for the recommended improvements at each intersection and
along the corridor. Concepts with innovative solutions included:
SPUI at Livingston Road
A CFI at Strand Boulevard and Juliet Boulevard
A DDI at the I-75 interchange
A CFI and SPUI at Logan Boulevard
We prepared a video presentation, including animation for a CFI and DDI, and used it
for public involvement activities. We also conducted a public meeting (virtual due to
COVID-19 restrictions), and coordinated meetings with stakeholders such as
homeowners associations (HOAs), business owners, Fire District, FDOT, Collier County
Sheriff’s Department, and social media.

3. PAST PERFORMANCE
Jacobs led design and permitting for the widening and reconstruction of 11.1 miles of
Oil Well Road. The project involved widening a two-lane rural section to a four-lane
and six-lane urban section.
We led extensive public involvement due to impacts to environmentally sensitive
areas as well as heavily developed sections of the corridor. Coordination with Collier
County Public Schools was required due to the 3 schools on Oil Well Rd. The
permitting effort included drainage and environmental impacts as well as wildlife
crossings for endangered species such as the Florida Panther.
Our team prepared a bridge design report and design and plans for three bridge
replacements, two box culvert extensions, and miscellaneous structures. All three
bridge replacements involved three-span American Association of State Highway and
Transportation Officials Type II beam superstructures on conventional pile bents. The
bridge lengths are 132 feet, 135 feet, and 150 feet, respectively.
Jacobs performed this environmental and engineering study to evaluate potential
roadway network improvements near Randall Boulevard and Oil Well Road in Collier
County. The improvements included development of an east-west corridor to reduce
congestion, improve traffic flow, and accommodate future travel demand through
2045. We evaluated potential improvements to Randall Boulevard, Oil Well Road,
Desoto Boulevard and Everglades Boulevard and potential corridors on a new
alignment. We developed alternatives and comparatively evaluated the social and
environmental effects and overall cost of each option. Proposed alternatives included
4 and 6 lane designs for Everglades Blvd and Desoto Blvd. The study considered
traffic operation improvements such as roundabouts, grade separated overpasses,
frontage roadways, access management, and new traffic signal locations for the
recommended alternative. The study process blended preliminary engineering,
environmental impact assessments, public outreach, and agency coordination.
Our team led public involvement, data collection and projections, corridor
alternatives development, evaluation methodology and criteria development, corridor
alternatives analysis and ranking, and selection of a preferred corridor alternative.
The project consisted of improvements to the Immokalee Road and Collier Boulevard
intersection to provide additional capacity (triple-lefts) and extend Collier Boulevard
north by about a half-mile. Our team provided roadway alternatives analysis, roadway
design, drainage design, sidewalks, bike lanes, pathways, Cocohatchee Canal
Relocation (USACE NW permitting), prefabricated bridge crossing of Cocohatchee
Canal, CR 951 box culvert extension, signalization, lighting, utility design (36-inch
water main, 30-inch water main (42-inch by 540-linear-foot directional drill), 16-inch
force main, and 24-inch reclaimed water main), and coordinating transmission and
distribution line relocation with Florida Power & Light (FPL). We led permitting with
SFWMD, USACE, and FDEP; designed a boat ramp; and coordinated with adjacent
developments such as NCH Hospital and CVS. The SFWMD permit included onsite
treatment and attenuation and compensatory storage within the adjacent
development to minimize costs and maximize treatment.
Jacobs’ Immokalee Road-Collier Boulevard Intersection design has been constructed
in pieces to accommodate traffic needs and construction budgets. However, we
designed the intersection to eventually accommodate a single point urban
interchange (SPUI) at this location.

Jacobs’ Collier County Roadway Design and Planning
Experience Includes:
We managed the design to widen Pine Ridge Road from four to
six lanes, converting the existing rural section to an urban
section. The 3.3-mile project included widening Pine Ridge Road
through the I-75 interchange. A unique aspect of the project was
redesigning northbound on and off-ramps to accommodate dual
left turn lanes. We provided complete roadway design and
permitting services, signal design, roadway lighting,
landscaping, traffic studies, and services during construction.
Our team conducted a bridge location study to evaluate four
potential bridge locations to replace the existing bridge at 25th
Avenue Southwest, which will be removed to accommodate the
Collier Boulevard Roadway Widening Project. We developed
alternatives; evaluated existing and future traffic demand, traffic
operational needs, access management requirements,
multimodal needs, and physical and environmental constraints;
and led a public involvement meeting.
We managed the widening of 4 miles of the
existing four-lane, urban divided roadway.
Tasks included public involvement, roadway
design, drainage, permitting (SFWMD, USACE,
and FDEP), MOT, structural design,
environmental surveys, traffic, noise,
aesthetics, survey, geotechnical, access
management, and utility services. Phase I
(Green to Golden Gate Boulevard) has been constructed. Phase II (Main Golden Gate
Canal to Green Boulevard) is currently under design.
We managed development of design plans
and specifications for widening the existing
four-lane roadway to a six-lane facility,
including four major intersections, as part of
a roadway capacity improvements project
for a 7-mile segment. We coordinated
SFWMD, USACE and FDEP permits.
Our team managed the widening design of
existing two-lane roadway to a six-lane,
urban divided roadway along a 3-mile
corridor. This project required extensive
attention to public concerns regarding local
access, circulation, traffic demands, impacts
to businesses and residential areas, and
aesthetics. We led public involvement, roadway design, drainage, permitting (SFWMD,
USACE, and FDEP), MOT, structural, environmental impacts, traffic, noise, aesthetics,
survey, geotechnical, access management, and utility services.
Jacobs led design for the half-mile segment
of Tree Farm Road. This two-lane roadway
section links four roadways with a new
roundabout. The new two-lane roadway
includes sidewalks, pathways, bike lanes,
and a new roundabout. The project included
water main and force main design and
permitting. Our design used three adjacent
development ponds for stormwater treatment and attenuation. We prepared
design plans in MicroStation, conducted public involvement meetings, prepared
permitting packages (SFWMD, USACE, and FDEP), and performed field
calculations.

We managed the design of an 8.1-mile
widening from two to four lanes (in a 6-lane
footprint) and designed the ultimate 6-lane
facility converting the existing rural section to
an urban section. Our team provided complete
roadway design, utility design, permitting
(SFWMD, USACE), and drainage design.
Our team managed the design to replace the
existing 4-span precast slab Palm River
Bridge, constructed in 1960 over the Palm
River Canal, and reconstruct roadway
approaches to accommodate the new
structure while improving safety and adopting
current FDOT standards. The roadway design
enhanced the safety at the intersections by
improving the existing signing and pavement
markings. The bridge development report
investigated a 3-span (21.5 feet-27.5 feet-
21.5 feet) precast Florida Slab Beam structure
as well as a cast-in-place flat slab structure on
conventional pile bents. Deterioration of
existing timber piling was a major factor in the
decision to replace the existing structure, so
our team implemented a detour option instead of cutting the existing bridge and
phased construction to eliminate potential risks and expedite work. Vibration and
settlement monitoring was a key consideration due to proximity of residences. The
recommended structure used a cast-in-place superstructure upon careful
constructability review with potential contractors, given the moderate span lengths
and relatively short bridge length. The bridge typical section carries 11-foot traffic
lane, 5.5-foot shoulders and raised 6.5-foot sidewalks on both sides. We
implemented ADA requirements in the design.
We conducted a comprehensive analysis to
determine the type, design, and location of
proposed future improvements to Collier
Boulevard from U.S. 41 to Immokalee Road, a
distance of approximately 15 miles. As part of
the study, we developed and analyzed various
typical sections and roadway geometry and
evaluated drainage and utility adjustment
requirements, site constraints, preliminary environmental, and right-of-way
requirements for a six-lane urban divided section with bike lanes, sidewalks, and
stormwater management facilities.
The Collier MPO selected Jacobs to prepare
their 2045 LRTP. The purpose of the plan
update was to advance a 20-year planning
horizon and to adopt a Cost Feasible Plan
(CFP) that encourages and promotes a safe
and efficient, multi-modal transportation
system that addresses the future year
transportation demands. The LRTP includes
roadways, public transportation (transit), freight, bicycle and pedestrian and multi-
use trail facilities. The results of the LRTP process are to serve the overall mobility
needs of the area while also being cost effective and consistent with national, state,
and local goals and objectives. The 2045 LRTP addresses national Performance
Measures and state adopted (FDOT) Performance Targets. The 2045 LRTP also
addresses the effects of Climate Change and Autonomous Connected Electric Vehicle
Shared Mobility.

On this study, our team evaluated
alternatives to widen Wilson Boulevard
from a 2-lane undivided roadway to a 4-
lane divided roadway with curb and gutter
from Golden Gate Boulevard to Immokalee
Road (approximately 3.2 miles). The study
involved evaluating alternative alignments
to improve mobility, enhance safety, and
accommodate future traffic volumes while
avoiding or minimizing impacts to the
community and natural environment.
Proposed improvements also included
adding sidewalks, a shared-use path, and
bike lanes for improved multimodal
mobility and bus stop enhancements.
Additional project elements included
changes to access at the intersections,
drainage system upgrades, replacement of
the existing bridge, utility relocation, and
right-of-way acquisition.
As the prime consultant, our team provided
access management analysis, alternatives
analysis, preliminary bridge type selection
report, drainage and pond siting analysis,
utility analysis, environmental analysis,
right-of-way analysis, a public involvement

The project included ROW acquisition with over 276 parcels across 314 acres. Jacobs prepared an environmental assessment, developed innovative approaches to wetland delineations, and
performed FLUCCS mapping using a mobile data collection platform. We prepared a listed species assessment, conducted surveys, and assessed wetland and other surface water impacts. We
coordinated mitigation credits for the County to help them purchase from mitigation banks from impacts to both wetlands and the Florida panther.
An environmental resource permit was issued by SFWMD in 2021 with a single request for additional information (RAI). We coordinated with USACOE and FDEP and obtained a state 404 permit.

4. PROJECT APPROACH, WILLINGNESS TO MEET TIME AND BUDGET REQUIREMENTS
Project Approach
Our technical approach is based on a comprehensive understanding of
required roadway design elements, bicycle, and pedestrian needs,
Collier County Public School (CCPS) infrastructure and needs, existing and proposed
site conditions, proposed development, access management, constructability issues,
utility relocations, drainage requirements, and “Critical Path” schedule items, as
defined in Section 1. The following sections further describe the design elements of our
project approach and key considerations.
Roadway Design
The existing Everglades
Boulevard N runs within a
100-foot ROW easement. To
satisfy the project’s purpose
and need and design criteria,
Jacobs identified the need for
a 165 feet ROW (easement)
with closed drainage system
(ponds). Because of the multiple constraints along the corridor, including the proximity
of residential structures to the roadway, our approach recommends ROW/easement
from both sides of the road (32.5 feet to the west and 32.5 feet to the east). The
proposed “Urban” typical section will require a “saw-tooth” profile (0.30% +/-). To
accommodate cross slope and the base clearance requirements between the roadway
base layer and seasonal high-water table, and to facilitate stormwater hydraulics, the
vertical profile will change significantly (increasing approximately 2.0 to 3.0 feet -
varies). The vertical alignment will be optimized to provide smooth transitions to cross
streets. Relocating to proposed right turn locations will improve safety and operations.
Each side street will have an open median allowing for left turns out of the side street
(similar to the Wilson Boulevard Widening project).
An aspect of this RPS we feel is necessary to discuss with
the County is the lack of a pathway/sidewalk on the
eastern side of Everglades Blvd. The CCPS buses stop at
every side street, meaning any child wishing to board the
bus that lives on the eastern side of Everglades Blvd will have to
walk up to 700’ in unpaved, uneven terrain to the nearest bus
pick-up area/home.
Additionally, the SUN Trail Network currently identifies the
eastern side of Everglades Blvd N as the north-south
connector from Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension to Oil Well
Road and is partially funded for pre-construction (FDOT FPID 455291-
1-22-01).
Therefore, we have shown a 10’ multi-use asphalt pathway along the eastern side in our
typical section, anticipating its need. Additionally, this pathway will connect to the
future VBRX Phase II northern pathway. We will update the typical with further guidance
from the County, as needed, and reduce our anticipated ROW needs.
Currently, children utilize street sign poles to secure their bikes while at
school. Additionally, the children have no safe resting area to await
their school bus in the morning. Therefore, we propose school bus pads
with bike racks and a bench at each side street to provide the
children a safe area to await their school bus and safely secure
their bicycles. We will coordinate with CCPS.
Everglades Blvd N will be raised several feet to accommodate the urban
typical section. As a result, residential driveways will need to be
reconstructed.The minimum slope standards allowed by FDOT are in many cases
too drastic for comfort. We will design smoother transitions to accommodate
homeowners, which requires coordination with the County and homeowner to tie-
down the driveway beyond
the proposed ROW.Jacobs
team has designed 500+
driveways throughout Collier
County in our extensive
roadway design experience
and is currently designing
smooth-transition driveways
for the Wilson Blvd Widening project.
Our team understands the complexities and needs of the project, and we are ready to
serve you. Our team has worked on nearly every major roadway in the County over the
past two decades, including numerous projects within the area and will use the
knowledge gained by that history to successfully deliver this project.
Temporary Traffic Control
Development of Temporary Traffic
Control (TTC) plans must
incorporate regional and local
traffic needs to safely direct traffic
through the work zone. TTC will
consider transitions at the major
intersections including Oil Well
Road, Randall Boulevard, 18th AVE
NE, and Vanderbilt Beach Road (if constructed), signage, signalization, etc. A key
consideration for this project’s TTC is the significant change in the roadway’s new
vertical profile. Phased construction will be required. Phase 1 will keep the existing
Everglades Boulevard travel lanes open to traffic while the two new lanes are
= Unique
Understanding
Tie-Down Steep Slope
Similar to Wilson Widening, constructability will dictate
the alignment of the widening project. Access
management and drainage needs will be considered.

4. PROJECT APPROACH, WILLINGNESS TO MEET TIME AND BUDGET REQUIREMENTS
constructed to the west. The vertical change between the existing travel lanes and the
newly constructed lanes will be too steep for drivers to cross. Therefore, the
intersections/cross streets will remain open with proper sloping, for drivers to access
safely through the construction zone to their driveways. Phase 2 shifts traffic to the two
new travel lanes while the existing travel lanes are reconstructed. Again, cross
streets/intersections will be opened to access safely through the construction zone to
their driveways.
The unimpeded, safe movement of emergency
vehicles and school bus traffic will be a special
concern. We will coordinate directly with the Collier
County Public Schools Board on the need/feasibility
for expanding their existing bus structure system.
Currently, there are no Collier Area Transit (CAT)
routes located on the corridor.
Some night-time operations may be necessary to minimize traffic impacts and enable
the contractor to complete the work as quickly as possible. The use of black base may
be recommended in some areas to reduce construction time.
Drainage
Because of the length of the project, flat topography, conveyance feasibility limitations,
and hydraulic gradient concerns, dividing onsite basins into multiple segments that
drain to multiple stormwater ponds along the project is required. ponds are anticipated
for the corridor. Our team has already explored innovative stormwater treatment
strategies including combining wet and dry detention ponds to meet SFWMD water
quantity and water quality criteria including dry pre-treatment and nutrient removal
requirements for North Golden Gate Sub-Basin (WBID 3278S) which is impaired for
dissolved oxygen, with total nitrogen as the causative pollutant. Ponds must be located
a minimum of 75 Feet from residential drinking Well (SFWMD Criteria).It is imperative
that the Final Pond siting effort begin at NTP, as it is the most critical path for this
project. Keeping in mind that permitting the stormwater ponds and associated
impacts could take close to a year, pond siting must be completed early in the
project to meet your 24-month design schedule. Additionally, ROW acquisition of
the pond site parcels could also take up to a year after Sketch and Descriptions are
prepared.Note: our proposed schedule reflects this critical path.
Our team will coordinate with County ROW department for early
identification of potential pond sites (well ahead of a typical design
schedule) due to the rapid development of residential homes on top
of limited, viable pond sites. Our team has developed a set of
procedures during the Wilson Boulevard Widening Design for early identification of
potential pond sites for the County and Board of County Commissioner approval
and County acquisition of the pond site.
Runoff from Everglades Boulevard would drain to a closed storm sewer system along
curb and gutter to convey to the proposed pond sites for water quality treatment and
water quantity attenuation. The two surface waters are Main Golden Gate Canal (west)
and Faka Union Canal (east) both of which are anticipated to have minimal impacts to
the surface water system. The canals run parallel to Everglades Blvd N at the ends of
the side streets and are where the treated and attenuated stormwater will outfall. The
existing roadway ditches will be relocated to the edges of the typical section to maintain
existing offsite drainage patterns. The ditches will also maintain the hydraulic
connections to the existing side street ditches.
Based on our field reviews, the existing side street
ditches are not properly conveying water to the
canal systems, and some of the side streets lack
conveyance at the outfalls due to years of
sediment build up and are often overly vegetated.
Several side street ditches will be improved due to
the piped canal outfalls from pond sites, though
the remaining side street ditches may require
improvements as well.
The project is anticipated to impact 50+ acres of
100-year floodplain, where no net encroachment
is required. While the roadway improvements will
reduce floodplain storage, our preliminary
analysis demonstrates that the stormwater ponds
and roadside swales will provide enough storage
compensation to satisfy SFWMD requirements.
Drainage is a major issue for this project, as
flooding occurs along the roadway and adjacent
properties during heavy rain events.We anticipate 4 to 5 drainage basins resulting in
4 to 5 pond sites for this roadway widening project (see Exhibit 3-3 and Exhibit 3-4).
We understand the existing drainage conditions
along the corridor and propose an accelerated
drainage design schedule. We are experienced in
all aspects of drainage design required for
Everglades Boulevard, as we are currently ahead
of a typical schedule for drainage design with
Wilson Boulevard Widening due to the urgency
needed to acquire parcels for drainage ponds. We
have planned and designed closed and open
drainage systems on more than 100 miles of
roadways for Collier County, including over 30
pond systems.

4. PROJECT APPROACH, WILLINGNESS TO MEET TIME AND BUDGET REQUIREMENTS
Surveying and Right-of-Way
Surveying and ROW mapping are also critical path elements for this project. Sketch
and Descriptions, survey of the corridor, and pond site parcels are needed to inform the
ROW acquisition process.ROW acquisition, which can take up to a year to complete,
cannot begin until pond sites are selected, and the Sketch and Descriptions are
complete.We understand the critical paths of this project and will begin working with
Robert Bosch/ROW Department early in the project to coordinate pond sites and survey
results. This early coordination will allow us to complete the design in 24 months.
Utilities
During our initial assessment of the corridor, Jacobs
identified nine (9) Utility Agency Owners (UAOs) within the
study area in our Sunshine One Call ticket. Major utilities
include overhead electric (FP&L), Collier County Traffic
Operations, and a gas line (TECO). The TECO gas line is our
most significant impact and will require relocation to the
edge of the new ROW on the western side, under or
immediately adjacent to the new swale to avoid conflicts
with pond outfall piping. The FP&L overhead electric will
need to be relocated to the proposed eastern ROW line.
Jacobs will coordinate with FP&L to relocate distribution poles along the corridor.
Johnson Engineering will perform subsurface utility exploration to better identify utility
locations. Physical utility locates (pot-holing) will be done immediately in critical areas
to ensure proper location identification. Advance utility notification letters will be sent
to the utility companies immediately upon NTP. Through early identification and
resolution of potential conflicts, we will be able to reduce impacts to the design
schedule. Upon NTP, letters will be distributed to local utilities informing them of the
project. Once prepared, 30% plans will be sent to the utility companies, so they can
confirm the location of their utilities, modify locations shown on the plans, and provide
desired locations for relocations and future planned utilities. A utility meeting will be
held shortly thereafter to discuss potential conflicts and give UAOs sufficient time to
begin planning their redesigns (if necessary). Utility meetings will be held again after
60% submittal and utility work schedules will be requested prior to finalizing bid plans.
ROW Acquisition
Our preliminary analyses included an evaluation of ROW requirements.For Everglades
Boulevard a minimum of 199 parcels will be impacted, not including pond sites or
potential side street impacts. In addition, Temporary Construction Easements and
Temporary Driveway Restoration Easements will also be required for the majority of
these parcels with residential or commercial access for driveway connections. We
understand the ROW acquisition needs and additional easements required for the
roadway expansion and stormwater pond sites.
Our experience assisting the County through the ROW acquisition and the settlement
process is unmatched. Our recent project experience with the Vanderbilt Beach Road
Extension project included ROW acquisition, full property takes, and easement
acquisition for 320+ parcels, and our ongoing Wilson Boulevard Widening Project
includes ROW acquisition, full property takes, and easement acquisition for 300+
parcels. We also provided expert witness services and helped the County navigate legal
challenges from property owners. Jacobs will capitalize on this experience while
managing ROW and easement needs during the design to reduce potential legal
challenges.
Residential Development
The Everglades Boulevard area is experiencing rapid growth and development, with
numerous new homes being constructed each year. Our team brings a unique
understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with such projects,
drawing from our extensive experience with the nearby Wilson Boulevard Widening
project. One key insight we have gained is the importance of proactive coordination with
new homeowners regarding the placement of gates and fences.
During the Wilson Boulevard project, we encountered numerous instances
where homeowners were concerned about the future impact of roadway
widening on their properties. To address these concerns, our team took the
initiative to engage with homeowners early in the process. We provided detailed
guidance on how and where to position their gates and fences to align with the
ultimate roadway design. This proactive approach not only alleviated homeowner
concerns but also minimized the need for costly and disruptive relocations in the
future.
By applying this experience to the Everglades Boulevard project, we will ensure that
new homeowners are well-informed and prepared for the upcoming changes. Our team
will continue to work closely with the community, offering personalized consultations
and clear illustrations to help homeowners make informed decisions about their
property boundaries. This collaborative effort will foster a smoother transition and
enhance community satisfaction with the project.
Commercial Development
The Everglades Boulevard area is not only seeing a surge in residential development
but also significant commercial growth. Many developers have expressed interest in
rezoning parcels, constructing gas stations, commercial building centers, and even
building cellular towers. This commercial expansion is vital for supporting the growing
community and enhancing local amenities.
Our team’s experience with the nearby Wilson Boulevard Widening project has
equipped us with the skills and insights necessary to effectively manage these
commercial development challenges. Throughout the Wilson project, we successfully
coordinated with several key developers, including Tractor Supply Co., St. John Paul II
Sunshine One Call Ticket

Parish, Florida Power & Light (FPL), and Comcast. This coordination was crucial in
ensuring that the roadway project progresses smoothly while accommodating the
needs and timelines of these commercial entities.
One of the critical aspects of our approach is proactive communication and
collaboration with developers. By engaging with them early in the planning stages, we
were able to address potential conflicts and align their development plans with the
roadway project. This included detailed discussions on site access, utility relocations,
and construction schedules to minimize disruptions and ensure a seamless integration
of commercial developments with the widened roadway.
For the Everglades Boulevard project, we will leverage this proven approach to facilitate
successful commercial development. Our team will continue to work closely with
developers, providing clear guidance and support to help them navigate the
complexities of building alongside a major infrastructure project. This includes
coordinating with local authorities on rezoning requests, ensuring compliance with
regulatory requirements, and addressing any concerns related to the construction of
new facilities such as gas stations and cellular towers.
In summary, our extensive experience in coordinating with commercial developers
during the Wilson Boulevard Widening project uniquely positions us to manage the
commercial development aspects of the Everglades Boulevard Widening project. We
are committed to fostering a collaborative environment that supports the growth of
local businesses while delivering a high-quality infrastructure project that benefits the
entire community.
Signing and Pavement Marking/Signals
Signing and pavement markings and signal plans will be designed to comply with the
requirements established in the latest FDOT Roadway and Traffic Design Standards and
the FHWA Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The principle of positive vehicular
guidance and consistency of sign messages will be followed when performing the
signing and pavement marking design. Roadside signs will conform to Elder User
Guidelines. In addition, signal interconnect will coordinate all signals within the
corridor, and signal adjustments will be made to VBRX intersection (if constructed).
Safety & Crash Data
In preparation for this RPS, Jacobs obtained the crash data
along the corridor to help identify problematic areas which
need to be addressed during design.
Environmental Impacts
Wetland impacts and threatened and endangered (T&E) species impacts are
anticipated. Because this is already a developed corridor, the majority of wetland
impacts are primarily associated with the pond sites needed. Jacobs will perform field
reviews to determine which undeveloped parcels have substantial wetlands to inform
preliminary pond siting decisions. Therefore, we can anticipate UMAM scoring of
impacted parcels to efficiently estimate mitigation costs. No surface water impacts
(minimal and temporary) are anticipated.
Review of T&E species and habitat within the
project area and particularly the pond sites,
indicates the following have a high potential of
occurrence: Florida panther, Florida bonneted bat,
wood stork, big cypress fox squirrel, and ghost
orchid. A Florida Bonneted Bat Acoustic/Roost
Survey as well as a Gopher Tortoise Survey will
likely be required by USFWS at pond sites with
potential roosting habitat. As soon as pond sites
are determined, Jacobs will coordinate with the
agencies to expedite any requirements.
Coordination
This project must be well-coordinated from the
start. Coordination of the design effort with County
staff, SFWMD, FDEP, utilities, residential
properties, FDOT (SUN Trail Network), CCPS and
commercial businesses is essential for a successful
project. Effective project coordination is the key to
avoiding delays and completing the project on
schedule. Our public involvement program will
begin at project kick-off, by creating our mailing
lists, County website, and setting up early coordination meetings with key stakeholders.
Our outreach will also include coordinating the public meetings when design plans are
30% and 60% complete. By establishing lines of communication, updating project
information regularly on the County website, and maintaining an open dialogue, our
team will promote public understanding and acceptance of the project, allowing it to
move forward on schedule.
Project Schedule
Bill Gramer, PE, AICP, Project Manager and Deputy Project Manager Nick De Ciccio PE,
will schedule and coordinate project activities. Changes will inevitably occur during the
course of a project that could affect the schedule. When this happens, Bill will work with
the County’s project manager to manage the change, with the least impact on project
schedule and budget.
Exhibit 4-3 identifies target milestones and critical path items for this project. Schedule
monitoring will consist of bi-weekly reviews of the schedule with specific focus on
Critical Path elements. A working schedule will be maintained that documents
performance to date vs. target and predicts future events.

4. PROJECT APPROACH, WILLINGNESS TO MEET TIME AND BUDGET REQUIREMENTS
Good schedule control means expediting completion of the project.We will conduct
monthly team meetings to discuss key project milestones or any arising challenges with
County staff. We will meet with each subconsultant bi-weekly to review the as-planned
schedule and for a “look-ahead” review to ensure that we stay on schedule.
Our teams’ extensive experience and understanding of the project’s needs and potential
challenges will facilitate a project delivered on budget and, potentially, quicker than 24
months.
Ability to Meet Schedule
and Budget Requirements
A comprehensive approach is essential to meet the
budget and schedule requirements for your contract.
Commitment to providing the right personnel is just
the first step. Active project management is crucial,
involving detailed planning to ensure realistic budgets
and schedules are set and adhered to. This operational
discipline is a cornerstone of Jacobs' strategy to
deliver successful projects. Collaborating with the
County from project start offers several key benefits:
Clear Project Scope:Early collaboration ensures
that all parties have a shared understanding of
the project’s goals, requirements, and limitations.
This helps prevent misunderstandings and scope
issues as design progresses.
Baseline Schedule:Establishing a baseline
schedule with critical milestones helps keep the
project on track.
Stakeholder Alignment: Engaging with the
stakeholders early on ensures that their ideas and
needs are documented, addressed and are
aligned with project goals. This can facilitate
approvals and reduce potential delays.
Risk Management:Identifying potential risks and
challenges early allows for proactive mitigation
strategies, reducing the likelihood of issues
arising during later stages of the project.
Resource Optimization: Early collaboration helps in identifying the necessary
resources and expertise required, ensuring that the right people are involved from
the start. This will result in a cost-effective project delivery.
Bi-weekly or monthly team meetings with internal team members to address
project tasks, budgets, deliverables and schedule requirements.
Monthly progress meetings with County staff to discuss project progression and
discuss project elements.

4. PROJECT APPROACH, WILLINGNESS TO MEET TIME AND BUDGET REQUIREMENTS
Demonstrated Success Managing Costs
on Past County Projects
Cost Control
We will focus on two critical areas: on-time decision making and top-quality, committed
project staffing.
Specific strategies we will implement to control project design and construction costs
include:
Conduct task-specific workshops with County staff to discuss and evaluate project
elements. Early integration of County staff into the design process will allow us to
evaluate deliverables during development as opposed to milestone submittals
thereby minimizing surprises and reducing late changes.
Bi-Weekly or monthly internal team meetings to discuss tasks requiring additional
manpower, items ready for quality review, and the most efficient approaches to
upcoming work tasks.
Close and early coordination with project stakeholders to avoid negative project
image by agencies or public.
Establishing construction cost estimates based on current FDOT Data and
adjusting data based on local bidding environment, refining those estimates as
design proceeds.
Quality control, spearheaded by QA/QC team members to provide input
throughout the project.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC)
At Jacobs, quality is more than a service we provide. Quality is a critical piece of
successful project delivery. Our Quality Control Process is guided by the principle that
all team members are responsible for quality. As part of our Quality Control Process,
we assign senior reviewers who are independent of the project and have the experience
to provide concentrated, rigorous reviews throughout the project. Our senior reviewers
are subject matter experts in roadway, structures, and drainage, and were selected due
to their successful completion of similar design projects.
Formal quality control reviews are performed prior to draft and final deliverables. These
reviews concentrate on issues of consistency, completeness, clarity, coordination,
constructability (when applicable), and cost effectiveness. Quality assurance reviews
are performed to assure the deliverables will, on completion, conform to the specified
requirements and meet your expectations.

5. LOCATION
Local Team Members Within Minutes of County
Offices and the Project Site
Providing the County with appropriately skilled, highly responsive personnel requires a
locally based team that brings superior technical capabilities and project management
experience to meet the unique requirements of this critical project.Our Naples office,
located less than 7 miles from the County offices and less than 30 minutes to the
project site, serves as the principal and coordinating office for this contract.As
needed, we will draw on the technical expertise of staff from our other Florida offices,
who bring recent and relevant experience providing services on Collier County
transportation planning, design, and construction projects, as well as Collier
Metropolitan Planning Organization and FDOT District 1 projects.
Two of our core subconsultant team members, Johnson Engineering and Capital
Consulting Services, are also in Collier County, a short drive from our Naples office.
Ardaman & Associates’ main office is located in Lee County. Environmental Science
Associates will provide services from their Tampa offices, AHC team members will
provide services from their office in Davie, Florida, and I.F. Rooks & Associates, LLC. are
located in Plant City, Florida. See Exhibit 5-1 below.
Approach to Management and Execution of Work
Project Manager, Bill Gramer, PE, AICP, will lead day-to-day management and
coordination. Bill has the authority and resources to deliver all services that may be
required throughout preparation of the design plans and construction documents and
all related tasks required for this project. Bill has over 37 years of experience on a wide
variety of transportation and transit projects, including planning, traffic, roadway,

Project Stakeholders Communication Process
Coordination between our team members, County staff, the public, affected property
owners and stakeholders such as utility agencies, SFWMD, FDOT (SUN Trail Network
Project – FDIP 455291-1-22-01) and CCPS must be consistent and continuous to
successfully bring the Everglades Boulevard Widening Design project to reality.
Bill’s extensive Collier County experience and specific experience on Wilson Boulevard
Widening,Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension, and Oil Well Road makes him the best
resource to lead and coordinate the various tasks required to complete this project on
schedule and within budget. He will meet face-to-face with our subconsultant partners
regularly, making sure we take a fully integrated team approach to this project.
Bill applies proven methods to successfully manage communication, people, and
resources. Efficient communication between our team and the County is essential to
establishing project goals and performance standards early in the project. We’ll
communicate continuously with your staff in written format (i.e., email, memos, and
letters) as official direction to avoid misinterpretations. Proactive communication with
the County and project stakeholders will also help identify issues and concerns that
need to be resolved early.
Project Kick-Off, Planning, and Operations
Upon Notice to proceed, we will hold a project kickoff meeting with all team members
and County staff outlining the path forward. Bill will be responsible for day-to-day
coordination, holding regular staff meetings and issuing frequent action item reports
to document required actions. As Deputy Project Manager, Nick De Ciccio, PE will work
with task managers to ensure project elements are well coordinated and receive a
proper QA/QC prior to delivering milestones to the County. We will submit technical
memoranda and monthly progress reports to County staff for review as the project
progresses. Using technical memoranda and monthly progress reports has proven
effective in achieving an orderly flow of work on past projects. This approach provides
concise, detailed data and the ability to track action items and the record of decisions
made throughout the life of the project.
Project-Specific Work Plan
We understand the importance of developing a detailed, task-specific work plan for this
project that provides the appropriate level of management, reporting, and
communication. Bill will meet with County staff once work is authorized to proceed. At
this meeting, we establish clear lines of communication and review and finalize the
project work plan. Planning is crucial to project success. A quality work plan defines all
roles and responsibilities and
describes how team knowledge and
skills will be used to meet the
project requirements. Development
of the work plan is essential because
it helps the team work together
efficiently. Effective instruction in
the work plan eliminates cost
overruns, schedule slippages, and
ineffective personnel assignments,
while also promoting quality
results.
Our sophisticated computer network allows us to transfer documents and share
project information between our Naples office and other Jacobs’ offices quickly
and cost-effectively. Through Microsoft Teams or Zoom, we can easily host
teleconferences and review meetings with County staff and remote team staff.
Bill Gramer has assisted Collier County since 2002 on more than 15 roadway projects, many within the project area (see Exhibit 3-1 and Exhibit
3-2 in Section 3). In addition, many of the staff and all of the subconsultants chosen for this project have contributed to relevant Collier County
roadway projects such as Vanderbilt Beach Rd Extension, Vanderbilt Beach Rd Widening, Oil Well Rd Widening Segments I,II, &III, Collier Blvd
Widening I,II, &III and the ongoing Wilson Blvd Widening Design. This unparalleled experience will prove invaluable for this complex project,
expediting project delivery and avoiding rework resulting from pursuing previously vetted and dismissed alternatives from similar projects.

Selected Projects
Project Manager. Wilson Boulevard Widening - Design &
Corridor Study, Collier County. Collier County, FL. Jacobs
conducted a study to evaluate potential roadway corridor
improvements to widen Wilson Boulevard from Golden Gate
Boulevard to Immokalee Road in northern Collier County.
Specifically, the study evaluated widening Wilson Boulevard from a
two-lane undivided facility to a four-lane divided roadway with curb
and gutter. This study included the development of alternatives, a
comparative evaluation of the social and environmental effects,
and the overall cost of each option. The project also included
adding sidewalks, a shared-use path, and bike lanes and enhancing
the existing bus stops.
As PM, Bill managed the alternatives analysis to determine the
best-suited alignment for Wilson Boulevard, which considered
impacts to residential and commercial properties and impacts
to the existing County production wells along the project corridor. Bill managed several
successful workshops with the County regarding a left, center, and right alignment and
the associated impacts, as well as additional ROW required. Bill managed an extensive
public involvement process, which included a public meeting, social media engagement,
mailer/newsletter, the project website, and an online survey with several public-friendly
exhibits to portray project alternatives, such as complex 3D designs and renderings to
show design features of the recommended alternative. Bill successfully presented the
results of the study and recommendation for approval to the Board of County
Commissioners. Bill is currently managing the design of Wilson Boulevard Widening.
Project Manager. Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension Design, Collier County, FL.Bill
managed the design of a new 7-mile, six-lane roadway from Collier Boulevard to 16th
St. NE. Providing public involvement, roadway design, drainage, permitting,
maintenance of traffic (MOT), structural design, environmental surveys, traffic, noise,
aesthetics, survey, geotechnical, access management, and utility services.
Project Manager. Immokalee Road Corridor Congestion Study, Collier County, FL.
Bill managed a congestion analysis for future (5-year and 20-year) conditions along

Rick is experienced in ecological assessments, stormwater,
surface water, groundwater, wetland delineation, sediment
sampling design, and wildlife assessments. He specializes
in monitoring wellfield withdrawal impacts on wetland
hydrology and other water supply projects. Rick has
extensive experience in aerial photointerpretation,
hydroperiod assessments, water supply and reuse water
recharge applications, and Environmental Resource Program
(ERP) permitting of water supply projects throughout
Florida. Rick has successfully delivered several projects for
Collier County, including the Pine Ridge Road Improvements
project and Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension project.
Selected Projects
Lead Scientist. Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension,
Collier County. Collier County, FL.This project involved
permitting and design of a new road from Collier
Boulevard (CR 951) to 16th Street NE in Collier County,
Florida, including expansion of an existing two-lane road.
The proposed right-of-way width was 200 feet for a total
length of seven miles. Proposed canal improvements
included the relocation of Cypress Canal at two locations
and two new bridges over Cypress Canal and one bridge
over Curry Canal, Corkscrew Canal, and Orange Tree Canal
each for the proposed roadway. As Lead Scientist, Rick
coordinated the acquisition of wetland mitigation credits
from existing wetland banks and panther habitat units to
offset impacts to habitats.
Task Manager. Pine Ridge Road Improvements, Collier
County. Collier County, FL.Rick served as Task Manager
on the permitting of Pine Ridge Road (CR 896), an
existing four-lane, divided roadway in Collier County.
Collier County contracted our team for design services to
improve this section of roadway, from Airport Pulling
Road to Logan Boulevard, from a four-lane, rural
roadway to a six-lane divided urban section. As
Task Manager, Rick was responsible for wetland
assessments, endangered and threatened species surveys, and permitting for this
roadway. He submitted permit applications for the proposed widening including a
Management and Storage of Surface Waters (MSSW) stormwater management
permit, wetland resource permit, FDOT permit, Collier County well drilling and
vegetative removal permit, and SFWMD Big Cypress Basin Board ROW Use Permit.
Rick submitted permit applications upon the completion of 65% design drawings.
Rick worked closely with the engineering team by reducing impacts to wetlands so no
mitigation would be required for the roadway construction.
Ecologist. Paradise Run 50-mgd Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Technology
Demonstration Project, South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD). FL.
Jacobs supervised ecological field site reconnaissance to support planning and
conceptual design of the Paradise Run ASR Demonstration System, which is proposed
as a 10-well, 50-mgd surface water storage facility on the Kissimmee River/C-38 just
downstream of S-65E. Information was needed to assess potential ecological impacts
on wetlands associated with the proposed constructed wetland system to serve as an
initial pretreatment prior to water storage in the upper and middle Floridan aquifer in
stacked ASR wells. Rick participated in field surveys to confirm the presence of
threatened and endangered wildlife species within the project site footprint.
Project Scientist/Quality Control Analyst. Wellfield, City of Fort Myers. Fort Myers,
FL.Jacobs conducted a study for the City’s wellfield to assess operational effects
of the shallow wells on the surrounding wetland communities and hydrology. This
wellfield was augmented with surface water from the Caloosahatchee River, which
was pumped to infiltration galleries within the wellfield. The wellfield operation
has since been modified to deeper artesian and Floridan aquifer sources to
accommodate the growing demand on the water supply. Monitoring demonstrated
that augmentation of the wellfield has limited the extent of hydrological impact
and has resulted in positive impacts on the forested wetlands within the wellfield.
Project Manager. Water Use Permit Monitoring, Bonita Springs Utilities. Bonita
Springs, FL.Rick managed the monitoring of a wetland habitat to assess the impact of
water withdrawals of two wellfields as part of a Consumptive Use Permit. Rick led
biannual assessments of vegetation and hydrologic response to operation of the wells
located in the Tamiami aquifer. Uniform Mitigation Assessment Method assessments
were performed on a biannual basis to determine effects of wellfield operation during
the dry and wet seasons. The team successfully negotiated with the SFWMD to reduce
monitoring requirements, resulting in significant cost savings to the client.

the stormwater outfall canals at 16 locations within the County. He managed ecological
studies of the stormwater canals to assess impacts to wetlands, listed species, and water
quality, especially receiving waters to assess impacts from proposed sediment removal.
Under his leadership, the team developed innovative strategies for permitting which
resulted in channel geometry improvements and slope stabilization to reduce sediment
load and reduce future maintenance within these stormwater canals in Pinellas County.
Lead Scientist. Northwest Five Watershed Management Plan Update, Hillsborough
County. Hillsborough County, FL.Rick worked with the team to conduct field
investigations for devising best management practices (BMPs) for Northwest Five
Watersheds, which included Rocky Brushy, Sweetwater/Lower Sweetwater, Double
Branch, and Brooker Creek. Conducted assessments post-summer floods to respond to
citizen concerns and investigate potential impediments to stormwater conveyance. As a
result of these investigations, Hillsborough County requested development of a
comprehensive sediment management plan.
Lead Scientist. Crews Lake Natural Systems Restoration, Pasco County. Pasco

County. The interim WWTP will have a capacity of 1.5
MGD and will serve Collier County’s Northeast Service
Area. Mike managed surveying, site development plans,
pipeline design, electrical design, development of a
groundwater monitoring plan, and permitting assistance.
The project is expected to be completed in 2021 at a cost
of approximately $75 million.
Project Manager. 91st and 92nd Street Water Main Replacement, Collier County. Collier
County, FL.Mike managed design of the replacement of approximately 10,000 linear feet of
12-inch and 8-inch water main in Collier County along 91st and 92nd street located within the
Naples Park area. Key design elements included identifying an alignment within congested rights
of way that would accomplish project goals while minimizing impacts to the existing residents
and allow the existing asbestos cement water main to remain in service during construction.
Design also included provisions to remove the entire AC water main once the new system was in

Project Description and Services Provided
On this study, our team evaluated
alternatives to widen Wilson Boulevard
from a 2-lane undivided roadway to a 4-
lane divided roadway with curb and gutter
from Golden Gate Boulevard to Immokalee
Road (approximately 3.2 miles). The study
involved evaluating alternative alignments
to improve mobility, enhance safety, and
accommodate future traffic volumes while
avoiding or minimizing impacts to the
community and natural environment.
Proposed improvements also included
adding sidewalks, a shared-use path, and
bike lanes for improved multimodal
mobility and bus stop enhancements.
Additional project elements included
changes to access at the intersections,
drainage system upgrades, replacement of
the existing bridge, utility relocation, and
right-of-way acquisition.
As the prime consultant, our team provided
access management analysis, alternatives
analysis, preliminary bridge type selection
report, drainage and pond siting analysis,
utility analysis, environmental analysis,
right-of-way analysis, a public involvement
meeting, and cost estimates. Jacobs’
experience conducting the Wilson
Boulevard Widening Corridor Study and
subsequent Wilson Boulevard Widening
design gives us unique insight into the
Everglades Boulevard widening design.,
due to their similar nature.

The project included ROW acquisition with over 276 parcels across 314 acres. Jacobs prepared an environmental assessment, developed innovative approaches to wetland delineations, and
performed FLUCCS mapping using a mobile data collection platform. We prepared a listed species assessment, conducted surveys, and assessed wetland and other surface water impacts. We
coordinated mitigation credits for the County to help them purchase from mitigation banks from impacts to both wetlands and the Florida panther.
An environmental resource permit was issued by SFWMD in 2021 with a single request for additional information (RAI). We coordinated with USACOE and FDEP and obtained a state 404 permit.
