Tab II Work Plan
Detailed Plan of Approach
Cardno’s Project Execution
Cardno will provide construction contract documents including plans, specifications, supporting engineering
analysis, calculations, and other technical documents in accordance with FDOT and County policy, procedures ,
and requirements. Our record for similar project experience with bridge replacements for local government
agencies includes the complete list of services the County may require.
Our proposed approach is founded on the principles of responsiveness to your needs, and our unwavering
commitment to quality. This approach has been refined and proven over our 71-year history of success on
bridge replacement contracts, many of these for your neighboring municipalities. In this section, our approach is
presented from organizational, management, and task assignment standpoints.
Our approach to providing the County with unparalleled
responsiveness and quality includes:
1. Selecting a small, flexible team of highly qualified Cardno
professionals and specialty subconsultants with exemplary
skills in their particular area of expertise.
2. Developing an expeditious yet practical schedule to
accommodate the County’s need to rapidly repair this
critical structure. This detailed schedule will be prepared
and submitted within 10 days of NTP to document
anticipated key milestone dates for the project.
3. Working closely with the County in the early phase of the
project to develop an appropriate Maintenance-of-Traffic plan. This will include phasing all work on the
bridge deck to allow for mobility of traffic during construction. It should be noted that marine traffic will also
require mobility during all phases of construction.
4. Taking a thorough and early permitting approach to ensure there are no snags in our production schedule.
5. Submitting phased plans for review by the County. This will include performing a realistic estimate of
construction costs for the bridge repairs
6. Implementation of our Quality Assurance/Quality Control Program. Details of this program follow in this
section.
Cardno’s Organizational Approach
A full Organization Chart is provided in Tab IV of this proposal. County staff will always have direct access to
Cardno’s Project Manager, who will serve as a single point of contact.
Project Understanding: The Stan Gober Memorial Bridge, originally constructed in 19 75, carries CR 92 (San
Marco Road) over Marco Channel. This bridge was formerly known as the Goodland Br idge. On January 29,
2014, the County renamed the bridge in honor of Stanley Russell Gober, a local entertainer, humanitarian, and
business owner.
The bridge is a 1,840-foot-long structure with 22 prestressed concrete AASHTO beam spans of approximately
116 feet, 96 feet, and 70 feet, with cast-in-place concrete deck.
Stan Gober Memorial Bridge Repair/Rehabilitation Project
Project Number 66066.2, Bridge Number 030184
COLLIER COUNTY | OCTOBER 2016 | www.cardno.com
The bridge substructure consists of a combination
of bents and piers with the piers falling in the
deeper areas of the channel at substructure
locations 5 through 16.
The bridges traverses a navigational channel that
provides 54 feet of vertical clearance and 90 f eet of
horizontal clearance to marine traffic. There is a
marina with a boat ramp on the west side of the
bridge.
The current bridge location includes utilities for
sewer, cable TV, fiber-optic, electric, and phone.
Several utilities, including a sewer line, are
mounted to the bridge superstructure. Utility companies will be notified of the bridge repair project and any
potential impacts early in design. Utility impacts will be avoided where possible.
Our team has an intimate history with the Stan Gober Memorial Bridge and performed the Bridge Deck
Assessment and Recommendation Report for the County in August 2014 after FDOT’s 2013 Bridge Inspection
Report noted the deck showed signs of continuous deterioration, including increased delamination and spalling.
The Bridge Deck Assessment and Recommendation Report identified the locations and extent of the deck
deterioration and recommended a rehabilitation plan. The deck inspection included field observations
(sounding), non-destructive testing (NDT) using ground penetrating radar, and deck coring. Sounding uncovered
delaminated areas in the middle of the eastbou nd lane from spans 1 to 10. The localized nature of the
deterioration is related to salt water from trailered boats leaving the marina in Goodland and heading over the
bridge eastbound toward US 41. Once the chlorides from the salt reach the steel it begins to corrode. This
corrosion brings expansion of the steel, which causes the surrounding concrete to crack and delaminate.
NDT found four deck areas of moderate to severe deterioration, and deterioration in both approach slabs. The
deterioration extended down into the deck approximately 1½ inches, but had not reached the upper mat of
reinforcing steel. The NDT results matched field observations, as heavy deterioration was found in the scan in
the eastbound lane of spans 1 through 8 , corresponding to the delaminations found by sounding. The core test
results were consistent with field observations and NDT in that lower concrete strength and higher chloride
concentrations were found in the deteriorated section of the deck as compared to the non-deteriorated section.
Even so, core testing determined the deck strength was above the 3,000 PSI design strength of the deck. The
chloride content in the top of the deck was high enough to cause corrosion if it were to permeate down to the top
mat of the reinforcing steel; however, high alkalinity (high pH) of the concrete provide d passive protection of the
reinforcing steel from corrosion at the time of inspection. The pH is expected to decrease as the concrete ages.
Serviceability of the deck is a concern. In order to maintain a smooth riding surface, County crews have already
patched several deck locations. Patching will continue and accelerate as the delaminated areas of concrete
come loose and expose the rough concrete underneath. NDT determined the deterioration was located within
the top 1½ inches of the deck surface, which was also the clear distance to the top mat of reinforcing steel.
Our deck report recommended repairs should be done soon to prevent chlorides from permeating into the top
mat of steel, which would cause corrosion and increase the scope and cost of repair work to the deck.
In addition to deterioration in the deck, the February 2015 Bridge Inspection Report showed the bridge is
experiencing deterioration in several other areas, most of which are also chloride-induced.
> Several of the beams have diagonal cracks in the webs extending from the bearing areas. This could
be a sign of insufficient shear reinforcing at the beam ends due to improper placement.
> Several of the poured beam end diaphragms have spalls and/or delaminated areas.
> A bearing at Pier 12 was set 5 inches to the east of the sole plate and has only 4 inches of contact
length with the sole plate.
> Surface corrosion is occurring on the access ladders and heavy corrosion is occurring on the ladder
platform framing and anchor bolts at Piers 10 and 11.

structural integrity of the bridge.
Technical Approach
Our approach is to work closely with the County to develop a comprehensive plans set for rehabilitation that will
prolong the life of the Stan Gober Memorial Bridge another 35 years. We will start with a tactile bridge inspection
to understand the current state of the bridge deterioration and quantify that deterioration for construction bidding.
With the FDOT’s routine biennial bridge inspection approaching in February 2017, ideally we will execute NTP
before the end of 2016 and collaborate with the FDOT to join their inspectors on this routine inspection.
We partnered with Vector Corrosion Services (VCS), since most of the bridge deterioration is due to corrosive
chlorides. VCS engineers have significant experience with corrosion of embedded steel in concrete and
corrosion mitigation techniques including design of cathodic protection systems . Cathodic protection systems are
key in prolonging the life of bridges, especially when they see prolonged chloride intrusion.
With our past experience on the bridge,
our team has already reviewed previous
inspections reports, design
documentation, and plans; this provides
us a thorough understanding of the
bridge and the previous work. To
complete our assessment before
finalizing our repair design, we will
sample chlorides at the reinforcement
depth. This will allow us to evaluate if
they have reached a concentration high
enough to initiate corrosion. The surface
samples collected previously by
Infrastructure Preservation Corporation
(IPC) revealed an exposure to chlorides on the deck, but did not indicate if significant concentrations of chlorides
have reached the steel. The west side of the bridge is clearly at risk for chlorides but , before major repairs are
performed, the entire bridge should be evaluated to determine the current level of chloride contamination. If
some parts of the bridge are sampled and found to have minimal chlorides, a targeted rehabilitation approach
can be conducted, saving the County a significant amount of money.
VCS will complement Cardno’s tactile bridge inspection with a more in-depth inspection over a statistically
representative sample of the bridge. This assessment will be aimed at filling in any gaps of previous inspections.
VCS will build onto our previous knowledge to understand the level of deterioration not eviden t from the tactile
inspection. For example, corrosion potential measurements can identify corrosion activity prior to the formation
of cracks, spalls, and delamination. Corrosion potential measurements in combination with a tactile inspection
can help understand where damage is now and where will it be in five years. Performing this in-depth
assessment on a statistically representative sample helps keep costs down and also provides enough
information about the structure to be used in developing effective and efficient repair plans.
Based on the current reported level of deterioration, we believe extending the bridge life another 35 years to
reach a 75-year design life is an achievable goal. A key item for rehabilitation will be the deck , which will require
Stan Gober Memorial Bridge Repair/Rehabilitation Project
Project Number 66066.2, Bridge Number 030184
COLLIER COUNTY | OCTOBER 2016 | www.cardno.com
the most work to reach the 75-year life. There is also potential for extending the service life even further.
However, this must be balanced with the County’s needs and budget.
The following identifies key elements of the bridge with deterioration identified in previous inspection reports. We
reviewed the inspection reports of these elements and provided some potential rehabilitation schemes as an
example of the approach we will take with the Stan Gober Memorial Bridge.
Deck
The deck has the most significant deterioration as identified in the inspection reports. There is corrosion,
cracking, delaminations, and spalls. Most of this damage is along the east and west ends of the bridge and the
middle spans are in relativity good condition. The primary reason for this deterioration pattern is the boat ramp
on the west side of the bridge. Boats are being taken out of the salt water and driven across the bridge , allowing
the boat and trailer to drain salt water directly onto the deck . This has led to extensive damage on the east side
of the bridge in the eastbound lane. Significant deterioration on the east side of the bridge is most likely due to
the beach-like parking area on that side of the bridge. Sand has significant chloride concentration and cars
parking in that area may be driving directly onto the bridge.
Since the bridge has some
deteriorated areas and others
potentially sound, it might be
beneficial to approach the deck
rehabilitation with two different
rehabilitation options. The east and
west approaches of the deck may
require more in-depth repairs while
the rest of the bridge may require
only minimal removal of the
concrete surface and placement of
overlay. The east and west
portions of the bridge are clearly in
an advanced state of corrosion
and, as a result, removal of
concrete and cleaning of steel will
be required. Depending on the
level of chloride contamination, chip and patch may not be enough to protect the deck. Incipient corrosion, also
known as ring anode affect, could occur in the concrete around the patches. Incipient corrosion is when steel is
in contact with chloride-contaminated concrete and fresh uncontaminated concrete. This creates a potential
difference across the steel and allows for accelerated corrosion. Another issue with a chip and patch approach is
that exposure to chlorides does not stop after rehabilitation. The boat trailers will still travel over the bridge,
allowing chlorides to continue penetrating the concrete. For these reasons, we recommend that all reinforced
concrete repairs include zinc galvanic anodes to prevent incipient corrosion and help protect the steel.
Depending on the exposure conditions, most galvanic solutions are cost effective and will provide enough
service life extension to meet the 75-year design life of the Stan Gober Memorial Bridge.
Superstructure
Overall, the superstructure is in decent condition, as indicated by the February 2015 Bridge Inspection Report.
There are locations of spalling and delamination in the beams and beam ends; however, for a 1,800-foot-long
bridge in southwest Florida that is 40 years old, the identified problems are limited. Most beams throughout are
likely exposed to chlorides; however, the amount of damage is limited at this point. It may be appropriate to
remove and replace the damaged concrete and thermally apply an external zinc coating to cathodically protect
the beam reinforcement. Zinc arc spray will prevent the formation of incipient corrosion in the repaired ar eas and
mitigate active corrosion in the currently sound areas. This will greatly benefit the service life of the bridge.

Project Number 66066.2, Bridge Number 030184
COLLIER COUNTY | OCTOBER 2016 | www.cardno.com
Substructure
There were several concrete deterioration issues identified in the substructure inspection, including the
underwater inspection. Based on our review of the reports, most issues seem localized or in the early stages of
concrete deterioration. For underwater elements, concrete repairs and bulk galvanic anodes could provide an
effective solution to corrosion. Repair could also include pile jacketing and structural strengthening if required.
The elements in the tidal zone with corrosion issues could be addressed through the application of galvanic
jackets. Zinc arc spray could also be an effective means of keeping the exposed substructure elements free from
corrosion in order to meet a 75-year life.
Fender System
The fender system and access ladders have several items in need of replacement or repair. Most items, such as
missing planks, corroded cables and clamps, and spalls on piles, can be easily repaired. If any fender piles are
severely damaged to the extent that corrosion has intruded to the steel, we will evaluate whether pile
replacement or repair is the most cost-effective solution. Past fender projects have experienced difficulties and
un-economical costs associated with driving single piles. We can evaluate alternate options such as pile splices
or jackets if any of the fender piles warrant substantial repair.
Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) Approach
A comprehensive MOT approach will be key to providing the users of the Stan Gober Memorial Bridge with
mobility during the bridge repairs. With the existing roadway width of 44 feet, there may be an opportunity to
maintain two traffic lanes and allow for pedestrians during construction. However, this would require extensive
phasing and greatly increase the construction duration. A more reasonable approach may be to utilize a
signalized single lane that would let traffic to take turns moving in either direction and allow enough room for
pedestrian access.
We will focus on implementing techniques to minimize construction duration for the work on the bridge deck and
in the main navigational channel of the bridge. Although expedited construction in other areas of the bridge is
important, we want to provide minimal disruption to the mobility of the traveling public. Utilizing techniques for
bridge deck concrete removal such as hydro-demolition, which removes concrete with water pressure, can
expedite the disruptive deck work.
Ultimately, the MOT approach will be finalized during the design phase of the project through coordination with
the County, permitting agencies, and local stakeholders.
Effective Project Communication Management
Notice to Proceed: Execution of work will commence upon receipt of NTP from the County, with the technical
approach conforming to the approved scope of services. All work will be completed in accordance with Cardno’s
Quality Assurance / Quality Control program.
Communication: A successful project begins and ends with the timely and accurate transfer of information
between the County’s Project Manager(s) and Cardno’s Project Manager, Ananda Kelley, PE. This central point
of contact will un-burden the County and streamline interdisciplinary coordination. It will be Ms. Kelley’s
responsibility to disseminate information to the appropriate parties within Cardno and our subconsultants.
Ongoing Coordination: An important means of coordination will be monthly project briefings at which
schedules, budgets, technical deliverables, and other project-related matters will be discussed. Ms. Kelley will
oversee project activities to ensure appropriate resources are allocated to meet budget, schedule and quality
expectations, and an accurate accounting of overall project status is communicated to County staff regularly.
Project Closeout: Upon successful completion of this bridge replacement, Cardno will proceed with project
closeout in accordance with our established policy. The primary purposes of project closeout are to confirm no
outstanding technical, contractual, financial, regulatory, or legal issues (on behalf of Cardno or our
subconsultants); to retrieve and properly store all project information and files, including quality control
documentation; and to confirm County staff agree the project was successfully completed.

Cardno’s Quality Assurance / Quality Control
We understand the County expects deliverables that have been thoroughly reviewed by highly qualified
professionals. We feel the quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) component of the approach is a critical
element of the design production process, so we have robust QA policies in place.
Although our design professionals follow stringent internal QA/QC processes, it is our policy to have senior
professionals in each design discipline perform independent reviews to ensure a quality product. These reviews
focus not only on technical design standards and project scope requirements, but also on conflicts, cost, and
constructability. Our QA/QC process emphasizes early identification of potential issues to minimize impacts.
Quality assurance begins at the onset of each project with the establishment of a project-specific QA/QC Plan,
and the commitment of highly-qualified professionals overseeing the administration of the plan. Our QA/QC Plan
will be delivered to the County for approval within five days of NTP. Cardno’s Project Manager will have primary
responsibility to ensure the QA/QC Plan is appropriately implemented throughout the duration of the project. The
Project Manager will establish and maintain open communication channels with all team members to ensure vital
information is exchanged between disciplines, and accurate and current project files are maintained.
These reviews will help ensure the project progresses from bidding through closeout of construction with no
surprises, within schedule, and within the established budget. Cardno’s goal on each project is to prepare
deliverables free of errors and omissions, meet applicable industry standards of care, and comply with the
County’s requirements and expectations.
Cardno uses a five-step QA/QC process to ensure all
deliverables, including design calculations, developed during
the course of the project are thoroughly checked and
reviewed by qualified professionals. The plan is documented
using a responsibility sign-off stamp (pictured at right) and
color-coded markups to track the checking and back-checking
throughout the project. These reviews are completed by
competent senior staff who have not been directly involved in
development of the documents.
Our Project Manager will discuss QA/QC procedures with subconsultants to ensure they each have a vigorous
plan in place, as well. Each subconsultant will be required to follow the approved procedures for certifying their
work is performed in accordance with the plan, and make documentation of such available for compliance audits.
The subconsultants’ plan will often be supplemented by a peer review by Cardno staff.
Subconsultant Services - Ms. Kelley routinely manages subconsultants that offer expertise in certain specialty
areas. For purposes of this contract, such specialty service areas include public involvement, environmental
services, geotechnical services, corrosion expertise, and underwater bridge inspection, We have included Bolt
Underwater Inspection Services to facilitate VCS’s in-depth bridge inspection if those services are deemed
necessary for the sub-aqueous parts of the bridge.
Cardno provides better value to our clients by competitively procuring necessary services on a project -by-project
basis, and then providing effective management of the subcontracted firms such that Cardno remains ultimately
responsible to the client for all work performed.
In response to this request for qualifications, we pre-selected preferred subconsultants with whom we have a
history of successful client service. The pre-selection of these firms does not commit Cardno to use their
services if project-specific conditions or the County indicate a preference for another approach.
Cost Control
Cardno understands the need to be financially responsible and mindful of municipal budget constraints. Once a
scope of services has been agreed upon for a given work assignment, Cardno will work to develop a fee that
reflects the effort required to satisfy the scope, while keeping in mind any budget constraints that County staff
have passed along.

COLLIER COUNTY | OCTOBER 2016 | www.cardno.com
Our advanced interactive accounting system , a
product of BST Global, enables the Cardno
team to strictly monitor project financial health,
and ensures compliance with Federal Cost
Accounting Standards. The system provides all
necessary information at the contract, project
and task levels for Ms. Kelley and our Task
Managers to effectively execute the project,
while being mindful of budget. The Task
Managers receive monthly statements of all
project charges, and have direct access to our
BST system at any time, allowing for more
frequent reviews during periods of intense
project activity.
Construction Cost Estimating - As the construction industry continues to evolve, and costs continue to
fluctuate, it is imperative your consultants provide accurate opinions of probable construction cost (OPCC).
When accurate OPCCs are provided at each milestone, clients have the opportunity to confirm if the project is
tracking within their established budget. The earlier a budget concern is identified, the easier it is to rectify in a
timely and cost-effective manner, with a minimum of disruption to the project. Here are some of the steps Cardno
has taken to ensure we address this key need for our clients:
> Cardno is involved in engineering and construction of various project types, and, therefore, remains abreast
of trends with respect to construction costs for a wide array of project types. Our project managers tabulate
bids received, as well as actual construction costs of projects we design. The bids / actual costs are
compared to the OPCC we developed so deviations can be investigated. This information is stored in a
central repository so it is available to other professionals for use in development of future OPCCs .
> Cardno routinely monitors construction industry journals including the Engineering News Record,
Construction Industry News, and other publications for indicators of changes that impact construction cost.
> Cardno performs in-house constructability/bidability reviews using experienced professionals from our
Construction Management division. These reviews help us identify opportunities for savings, and help to
ensure that the designs we develop are constructible.
> Cardno often involves contractors during design development, to obtain input on specific project elements
that may impact the overall price. This also allows us to identify any issues that impart undue risk, as
perceived by a contractor, which can reduce the number of responsive bidders on a given project.
Plans-in-Hand Field Reviews
Plans-in-hand field reviews will be conducted by the Project Manager with the Originators for each work
discipline. After each field review, the Program Manager will document, incorporate, and verify the applicability of
comments and questions raised. The Project Manager will prepare minutes of the field review meeting and
distribute them to applicable staff, with copies to the project files.
In addition to the review of the plans,
calculations, and reports, all other support
documentation including computer-
generated calculations, specifications and
special provisions, quantities, cost
estimates, and studies will adhere to the
referenced checking procedure.
Construction Engineering &
Inspection (CEI) Services
Cardno offers CEI services for all types of
construction projects including roadway
construction, bridge inspection, and traffic
Stan Gober Memorial Bridge Repair/Rehabilitation Project

operations. We meet all safety requirements for all construction projects. Depending on the client's needs, job
size, and complexity, Cardno can offer full-time, site-based resident engineers or part-time inspection staff. Our
certified engineers and inspectors offer the expertise needed to resolve technical issues as they develop. They
can also provide a comprehensive history of a project and support the owner's position or concerns. For
roadway and bridge projects, our inspectors are certified in FHWA-approved work zone traffic control safety
programs to ensure public safety and minimize traffic flow disruptions.
The key to a successful project is to maintain complete
and accurate records of all contractor work activities,
payment, field sampling and testing, as well as
photographic records of significant activities and events.
Our records are always available for client review, and

Detailed Timeline for Completion of the Stan Gober Memorial Bridge Repair/Rehabilitation
Project
A bridge in this condition requires a rapid schedule for design, permitting, and construction to expeditiously
provide safety to the travelling public and prevent further deterioration of critical structural elements.

Project Number 66066.2, Bridge Number 030184
COLLIER COUNTY | OCTOBER 2016 | www.cardno.com
Making and keeping schedule commitments in support of municipal projects is a must – not only to sustain the
County’s confidence in Cardno and to remain a viable business, but also to maintain the C ounty’s schedule
commitments to stakeholders on projects we support. With the extensive manpower and resources available to
the project team, we are confident we can successfully meet your needs with respect to schedule and budget.
We will use Microsoft Project and/or Primavera software to manage schedule performance and to plan resource
utilization. Major work tasks will be broken down into a series of subtasks, resulting in a bottom-up approach that
will help the team to ensure predecessor and successor activities are appropriately identified and linked. The
identification of these major tasks, and their predecessor and successor activities, helps the team develop a
viable work plan that includes resource allocation. Monitoring progress against this detailed schedule allows for
identification of trends and reallocation of resources as necessary to maintain schedule, as well as budget.
The Project Manager will participate in weekly team meetings, with a major emphasis on reviewing progress and
discussing upcoming milestones. Close coordination between our Project Manager, Task Managers, and their
County counterparts will help ensure timely project completion and overall success.
We have prepared an expedited schedule that coincides with the upcoming FDOT biennial bridge inspection in
February of 2017 and pushes forward to a letting date at the end of 2017. We have not included a 30% plans
submittal in our schedule as that submittal is typically used for approval of conceptual bridge components.
Through collaboration with the County’s engineers we will move directly to a 60% (Phase II) bridge submittal . If
the County’s preference is to expedite the schedule further for this deteriorating bridge, we will collaborate to
determine where time can be saved. Elimination of another submittal phase, such as 90% (Phase III) or
reduction in County review time could help move up the project letting date.
Risks That May Be Associated with this Project
An early, well-planned project approach will help eliminate any potential risks during construction. The project
approach will include early coordination and detailed engineering evaluation to eliminate risks.

Success in Working with Our Subconsultant Team
Cardno has successfully completed numerous projects involving multiple team members , specifically our team
proposed for this Collier County project. It has always been our policy to supplement our team with
subconsultants who provide those necessary services that are not part of Cardno’s areas of expertise. In this
teaming process, we strive to exceed any DBE requirements set forth by the client. Having strategized
beforehand and completing a viable work plan involving numerous team members has proved invaluable to the
Stan Gober Memorial Bridge Repair/Rehabilitation Project
Project Number 66066.2, Bridge Number 030184
COLLIER COUNTY | OCTOBER 2016 | www.cardno.com
success of our projects. In this capacity, we are able to maintain proper control by having each team member’s
assignments clearly spelled out. This makes completing the project simpler and avoids any confusion as to “who
is doing what.” Cardno always names one point of contact for the team and all members of the team are
instructed to go through this person for any guidance that may be required. They are the focal point.
Cardno demands that each team member appoint his or her own point of contact as well. This ens ures a
smoother flow of information and prevents team members from contacting others on the team who could
possibly give wrong advice or instructions. Cardno has worked together with most of its subconsultants on a
regular basis. This arrangement has shortened the learning curve and allows our team with multiple members to
“jump into a project with both feet” and not have to struggle with getting to know or understand other team
members. We have established a strong working relationship with these team m embers and completely begin a
project together knowing that it will run smoothly from beginning to successful completion.
Availability of personnel at critical points of the development of a project is often the crucial factor in a project’s
success. Cardno has risen to its current level of a premier engineering firm on Florida’s West Coast due to its
commitment of quality staff. This level of quality is maintained through yearly increases in available Cardno
project staff and in the cross-training commitment from both associates and management. This cross-training
affirms the availability of qualified personnel when needed for a project.
Virtually all identified staff members will be called upon to service projects on either a full -time or part-time basis
at some time over the period of the contract. All staff members will be able to increase their availability over
time. Further, because of the aforementioned flexibility in project staffing, any individual can and will be made
available on a part-time or full-time basis as necessitated by work assignments.
Cardno prides itself on the ability to produce a qualified project team at a moment’s notice for a project.
Additionally, the subconsultants chosen for this project have committed the support of t heir key staff as well.
Cardno has successfully worked with these firms in the past on large projects. We are committing to you a
project team that has been specifically selected based upon its ability to handle your scope of services.

Team Members’ Successful Experience in Working with One Another
It has always been our policy to supplement our team with subconsultants who provide those necessary services
that are not part of Cardno’s areas of expertise. In this teaming process, we strive to exceed any DBE
requirements set forth by the client. Having strategized beforehand and completing a viable work plan involving
numerous team members has proved invaluable to the success of our projects. This makes completing the
project simpler and avoids any confusion as to “who is doing what.” Cardno always names one point of contact
for the team and all members of the team are instructed to go through this person for any guidance that may be
required. They are the focal point. Cardno demands that each team member appoint his or her own point of
contact as well. This ensures a smoother flow of information and prevents team members from contacting
others on the team who could possibly give wrong advice or instructions. This arrangement has shortened the
learning curve and allows our team with multiple members to “jump into a project with both feet.” We have
established a strong working relationship with these team members and completely begin a project together
knowing that it will run smoothly from beginning to successful completion.

Coordinating Committee
Summary of Experience
Mr. Pridgen is principally responsible for assessing both the ownership of utilities falling
within limits of projects varying in size and scope and the potential impacts on these
facilities. Once these are identified, Mr. Pridgen negotiates a resolution of conflicts
between the project designer and the utility agency / owner and coordinates the final
disposition of all utility related issues. Of utmost importance, Mr. Pridgen always strives
to research potential utility impacts early in the client’s projec t development so the
designer and the utility agency owner have the maximum flexibility in the resolution
process. Widely known for his “win-win” and “can do” approach, Mr. Pridgen welcomes
the opportunity to assist with even the most challenging assignments. He will work
closely with Cardno’s Utility Coordination Manager to ensure coordination services are
completed to District Five standards and preferences.
Prior to joining Cardno, for over eight years, Mr. Pridgen was the Assistant Design
Engineer for Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise. During his service with Florida’s Turnpike
Enterprise, he faced many significant and pioneering challenges as Florida’s Turnpike
Enterprise undertook some of the most ambitious initiatives in its 50 plus year history.
Some of the most important projects included mainline widening in Broward, Palm
Beach, Osceola and Orange counties, two new facility expansions involving the
Western Beltway and Suncoast Parkway II, the conversion to all electronic tolling of the
Homestead Extension of Florida’s Turnpike (HEFT), and a system -wide safety
enhancement program to provide median barrier and canal protection for the entire
FTE system. To assist in the undertaking of these aggressive and ambitious
assignments, Mr. Pridgen supervised a multi-disciplined team of professionals
consisting of four FDOT employees and several general engineering contract
consultants.
A significant portion of their responsibilities included the administration of utility related
issues involving litigation support, authorization of reimbursements, construction claim
resolution, technical proposal and design plan reviews, as well as, value engineering,
errors and omissions assessment and continual refinement of the design process.
Working together, they achieved unparalleled successes.
Additionally, Mr. Pridgen’s experience includes over 25 years of service in Florida
Department of Transportation, Districts I and V as a professional engineer in varied
positions involving the planning and design of transportation projects. The collective
depth and breadth of Mr. Pridgen’s experience demonstrates a unique capability to
provide timely, cost effective and constructible solutions for any utility assignment.
Project Experience

Parkway, Manatee and Sarasota Counties, FL Senior Utility Coordinator. Mr.
Pridgen provided utility coordination services to assist the consultant design team in
negotiating the successful resolution of utility clearances for a new diverging diamond
interstate interchange. With a “fast track” schedule and as one of the District One’s
most ambitious undertakings, this nearly $70 million dollar project was very challenging
in its complexity. The design plan set had over 800 pages and involved seven major
utility agency owners with impacts spanning two counties. This federal oversight
project’s utility reimbursable work alone totaled over $ 5.5 million dollars. Completing
the utility coordination more than two months ahead of schedule helped District One
stay on track to meet its commitment to let this highly publicized project in May 2015.
Florida Department of Transportation, District I, SR 35 (US 17) from South of
West 9th Street to North of West 3rd Street, Hardee County, FL. Senior Utility
Coordinator. Mr. Pridgen provided utility coordination services to help negotiate the
successful resolution of utility reimbursement issues with the City of Zolfo Springs.
Working with the city’s engineering consultant, a savings of over $200,000 in potential
reimbursable relocation costs for the Florida Department of Transportation was found.
This ongoing project is tracking well for an anticipated successful completion of the

Florida Department of Transportation, District I, SR 35 (US 17) from McEwen
Road to Pine Cone Park North, Hardee County, FL. Senior Utility Coordinator.Mr.
Pridgen provided utility coordination services to negotiate the successful resolution of
utility clearance and potential drainage design conflicts. Cardno provided subsurface
utility engineering services to map the horizontal and vertical positions of the
underground utilities at critical points. The utility coordination process involved six utility
agency owners, two with utility work schedules. Utility coordination was successfully
completed ahead of schedule, advancing the project letting by two months.
Florida Department of Transportation, District I, SR 739 (Metro Parkway) from
Winkler Avenue to Hanson Street, Ft. Myers, FL. Senior Utility Coordinator. Mr.
Pridgen provided utility coordination services for 1.4 miles of new alignment roadway.
The utility negotiations and associated utility adjustments for this project were
extremely complex involving 10 utility agency owners with five utility work schedules,
four utility work by highway contractor agreements and a utility CEI agreement. Adding
to the complexity of the process was the need to handle both reim bursable and non-
reimbursable utility agency owner interests while keeping all work program utility phase
amounts current. Moreover, following the award of the SR 739 Project, the contractor
proposed a cost savings initiative proposal (CSIP). During the review and approval of
the CSIP, Mr. Pridgen ensured the utility agency owners were kept informed of the
project’s proposed changes including an alternate MOT plan. While this project would
have stretched the capabilities of even the most accomplished and co mmitted utility
coordinators, Mr. Pridgen provided a seamless, well managed effort reflecting his high
standards of professionalism and total commitment to providing the Florida Department
of Transportation with unparalleled service.
Florida Department of Transportation, District I, SR 70 at Lockwood Ridge Road,
Bradenton, FL. Senior Utility Coordinator. Mr. Pridgen provided utility coordination
services for this intersection improvement project with substantial drainage involvement
and utility involvement. To assist in the coordination process, Cardno provided
subsurface utility engineering services which mapped the horizontal and vertical
positions of the underground utilities at critical points. Using the subsurface utility
engineering data and his significant design experience, Mr. Pridgen suggested
drainage design options which resulted in the avoidance of major utility adjustments
and provided the Florida Department of Transportation with a more cost effective
drainage system. Overall, the project had nine utility agency owners, five of which were
found not to be in conflict with the proposed construction, four utility agency owners
prepared utility work schedules and two utility agency owners executed utility work
agreements. Even with the drainage design re-work, Mr. Pridgen was able to provide
the project’s utility certification ahead of the scheduled deadline.

Summary of Experience
Mr. Childs joined Cardno after spending 42 years with the Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT). He started his career with FDOT’s construction department in
1969. In 1972, Mr. Childs joined FDOT’s utilities department as a project manager. Mr.
Childs was named District Utilities Administrator (DUA) for district one in 1987. As the
DUA, Mr. Childs was responsible for managing the utility coordination process on all
projects in the production schedule for design, design-build and construction.
During his career, he had the opportunity to work in all areas of design, construction,
design-build, and the right of way acquisition process where his office subordinated the
easement rights of utilities occupying private property that was being acquired by
FDOT.
In 1977, Mr. Childs pioneered the concept of using utility work by highway contractor
agreements (UWHCA) to prevent delays during construction and was instrumental in
drafting the first UWHCA which is still being used successfully in Florida today. This
agreement enables, at the request of the utility owner, the roadway contractor to
construct the utility facilities in conjunction with the roadway elements. The utility plans
are incorporated into the roadway plans and the contractor bids on this work
simultaneously.
He led several utility task teams dealing with issues relating to utility delay claims
during construction and the UWHCA process. His utility delay claim task team was
recognized locally and Mr. Childs presented for district one, the Florida Utilities
Coordinator Committee (FUCC) and to FDOT’s central office in Tallahassee. Nationally
his work on this task team was recognized by the Transportation Research Board for
the innovative ideas on improving the utility coordination process. The team’s
recommendations were adopted in district one and continues to save the district
millions of dollars each year in preventing utility delay claims. Mr. Childs also made a
formal presentation at a Transportation Research Board Conference in Dallas, Texas
and was invited to submit a paper and make a presentation at the Transportation
Research Board’s annual conference in Washington D.C.
In order to improve the utility negotiation / coordination process in district one, Mr.
Childs produced a comprehensive utility coordination manual providing a systematic
approach for the coordination process and is available to consultants and design-build
firms to assist in their efforts to better coordinate with utility owners during the design
process. He also established minimum qualifications for utility coordination staff when
the engineer of record is responsible for the utility coordination efforts. These
standards have now been accepted throughout the state.
He has served on numerous FUCC committees to develop the utility coordination
manual, utility accommodation manual, the re-write of the utility subordination
agreements, and the re-write of the numerous utility relocation agreements and forms.
Throughout his career, Mr. Childs has developed trainings and presented on a wide
variety of topics on a local, state and national level; including quarterly training
sessions for the FDOT’s staff and consultant utility coordinators; presenting at district
one’s annual utility coordination conferences for over 30 years, and speaking at
numerous American Right of Way Association Conferences both in Florida and
nationally.
Mr. Childs has lent his expertise to other state DOTs as well. He contributed by video
conference to the Minnesota DOT’s utility coordination program, while their project
managers were being trained on the new process.

Project Experience
SR 574 (Martin Luther Kind, Jr. Boulevard Railroad Crossings, Hillsborough
County, FL. Cardno provided survey services in support of this roadway resurfacing
project. Due to the restrictions imposed by the railroad and inability to work within their
right of way, Cardno collected the topographic information with a Leica C -10 LASER
scanner. The information was processed and incorporated into the data collected via
conventional survey equipment and procedures. The resulting deliverable was a
seamless topographic survey file with a digital terrain model for the entire corridor while
avoiding entry into the railroad right of way. The project was originally delivered on the
scheduled completion date, however FDOT requested the limits of the project be
extended by 75 feet at each intersection. The highlight of this project is Cardno was able
to complete the additional request very quickly and inexpensively because the LASER
scanner captured the additional 75 feet during the original field effort.
Page Field Airport Lee County, FL. Mr. Urquhart served as project manager for this
boundary survey for Lee County Port Authority (LCPA). Tasks included: researching
LCPA lands; completing a boundary survey for approximately 587 acres and writing an

Metro Parkway Extension As-builts, Lee County, FL. Mr. Urquhart served as project
surveyor when Cardno was to prove an as-built survey of a 3.5-mile roadway project,
mid-construction. As the bonding company, Forcon required assistance with the
transition from the original contractor to the contractor chosen to complete the corridor
project. A LASER scan was completed for the entire project. Mr. Urquhart utilized Civil
3D to process the scanned data to create a 3D model providing volume quantities. The
final produced as-built AutoCAD drawing contained quantity comparisons of the pre-
construction surface compared to the existing as-built surface and the existing as-built
surface compared to the final surface.
NAVD88, SWFWMD, FL. Mr. Urquhart served as project surveyor. The purpose of the
project is to recover over 800 hydrologic data collection sites and accurately calibrate
their positions both horizontally and vertically. This information will then be used by the
district in their efforts with lake levels, stream flows, ground water levels, topographic
aerial mapping, environmental resource permitting and Federal Emergency Management
Agency flood studies. This effort has resulted in over 800 miles of leveling between
approximately 120 National Geodetic Survey vertical control monuments to an accuracy
standard of 3rd order or better and the setting of 775 permanent benchmarks throughout
the counties.

Freshwater Flow Research Project, Collier County, Florida. (Rookery Bay National Estuary Research Reserve) For this project,
Ms. Rosensweig was responsible for providing environmental support services to assist a coastal engineer with the development of: a
local-scale hydrodynamic model for the Rookery Bay Estuary; establishment of target freshwater flow needed to sustain a healthy
estuary; analysis of potential water management projects and water use scenarios; and communicate science to regional water
stakeholders. As the project manager, Ms. Rosensweig conducted a literature review and data collection effort that included interviews
with regional scientists to identify potential biological targets that could be used to assess the effects of freshwater flows on the estuary.
The second phase of the project was to photo interpret a series of historical aerials and document changes in habitat such as sub-
aquatic vegetation (SAV), oysters, and mangrove edge. The literature review and historical aerial analysis was then utilized to prepare
a trend analysis to better understand changes that have occurred in the estuary and identify potential biological targets for further
analysis and eventually a suggested Minimum Flow Level. All of the information was presented at workshops to the general public.
The RBNERR authorized aerial photography flown in 2015 to provide additional baseline information of existing conditions. Sc heda
scientists provided photo-interpretation and field verification for this project and prepared a technical memorandum summarizing the
results.

5. The Employer agrees that any Employer Representative who will create E-Verify cases will
complete the E-Verify Tutorial before that individual creates any cases.
a. The Employer agrees that all Employer representatives will take the refresher tutorials when
prompted by E-Verify in order to continue using E-Verify. Failure to complete a refresher tutorial
will prevent the Employer Representative from continued use of E-Verify.
6. The Employer agrees to comply with current Form I-9 procedures, with two exceptions:
a. If an employee presents a "List B" identity document, the Employer agrees to only accept "List
B" documents that contain a photo. (List B documents identified in 8 C.F.R. § 274a.2(b)(1)(B)) can
be presented during the Form I-9 process to establish identity.) If an employee objects to the photo
requirement for religious reasons, the Employer should contact E-Verify at
888-464-4218.
b. If an employee presents a DHS Form I-551 (Permanent Resident Card), Form I-766
(Employment Authorization Document), or U.S. Passport or Passport Card to complete Form I-9,
the Employer agrees to make a photocopy of the document and to retain the photocopy with the
employee’s Form I-9. The Employer will use the photocopy to verify the photo and to assist DHS
with its review of photo mismatches that employees contest. DHS may in the future designate
other documents that activate the photo screening tool.
Note: Subject only to the exceptions noted previously in this paragraph, employees still retain the right
to present any List A, or List B and List C, document(s) to complete the Form I-9.
7. The Employer agrees to record the case verification number on the employee's Form I-9 or to print
the screen containing the case verification number and attach it to the employee's Form I-9.
8. The Employer agrees that, although it participates in E-Verify, the Employer has a responsibility to
complete, retain, and make available for inspection Forms I-9 that relate to its employees, or from other
requirements of applicable regulations or laws, including the obligation to comply with the
antidiscrimination requirements of section 274B of the INA with respect to Form I-9 procedures.
a. The following modified requirements are the only exceptions to an Employer’s obligation to not
employ unauthorized workers and comply with the anti-discrimination provision of the INA: (1) List B
identity documents must have photos, as described in paragraph 6 above; (2) When an Employer
confirms the identity and employment eligibility of newly hired employee using E-Verify procedures,
the Employer establishes a rebuttable presumption that it has not violated section 274A(a)(1)(A) of
the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) with respect to the hiring of that employee; (3) If the
Employer receives a final nonconfirmation for an employee, but continues to employ that person,
the Employer must notify DHS and the Employer is subject to a civil money penalty between $550
and $1,100 for each failure to notify DHS of continued employment following a final
nonconfirmation; (4) If the Employer continues to employ an employee after receiving a final
nonconfirmation, then the Employer is subject to a rebuttable presumption that it has knowingly
Page 3 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
employed an unauthorized alien in violation of section 274A(a)(1)(A); and (5) no E-Verify participant
is civilly or criminally liable under any law for any action taken in good faith based on information
provided through the E-Verify.
b. DHS reserves the right to conduct Form I-9 compliance inspections, as well as any other
enforcement or compliance activity authorized by law, including site visits, to ensure proper use of
E-Verify.
9. The Employer is strictly prohibited from creating an E-Verify case before the employee has been
hired, meaning that a firm offer of employment was extended and accepted and Form I-9 was
completed. The Employer agrees to create an E-Verify case for new employees within three Employer
business days after each employee has been hired (after both Sections 1 and 2 of Form I-9 have been
completed), and to complete as many steps of the E-Verify process as are necessary according to the
E-Verify User Manual. If E-Verify is temporarily unavailable, the three-day time period will be extended
until it is again operational in order to accommodate the Employer's attempting, in good faith, to make
inquiries during the period of unavailability.
10. The Employer agrees not to use E-Verify for pre-employment screening of job applicants, in
support of any unlawful employment practice, or for any other use that this MOU or the E-Verify User
Manual does not authorize.
11. The Employer must use E-Verify for all new employees. The Employer will not verify selectively
and will not verify employees hired before the effective date of this MOU. Employers who are Federal
contractors may qualify for exceptions to this requirement as described in Article II.B of this MOU.
12. The Employer agrees to follow appropriate procedures (see Article III below) regarding tentative
nonconfirmations. The Employer must promptly notify employees in private of the finding and provide
them with the notice and letter containing information specific to the employee’s E-Verify case. The
Employer agrees to provide both the English and the translated notice and letter for employees with
limited English proficiency to employees. The Employer agrees to provide written referral instructions
to employees and instruct affected employees to bring the English copy of the letter to the SSA. The
Employer must allow employees to contest the finding, and not take adverse action against employees
if they choose to contest the finding, while their case is still pending. Further, when employees contest
a tentative nonconfirmation based upon a photo mismatch, the Employer must take additional steps
(see Article III.B. below) to contact DHS with information necessary to resolve the challenge.
13. The Employer agrees not to take any adverse action against an employee based upon the
employee's perceived employment eligibility status while SSA or DHS is processing the verification
request unless the Employer obtains knowledge (as defined in 8 C.F.R. § 274a.1(l)) that the employee
is not work authorized. The Employer understands that an initial inability of the SSA or DHS automated
verification system to verify work authorization, a tentative nonconfirmation, a case in continuance
(indicating the need for additional time for the government to resolve a case), or the finding of a photo
mismatch, does not establish, and should not be interpreted as, evidence that the employee is not work
authorized. In any of such cases, the employee must be provided a full and fair opportunity to contest
the finding, and if he or she does so, the employee may not be terminated or suffer any adverse
employment consequences based upon the employee’s perceived employment eligibility status
Page 4 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
(including denying, reducing, or extending work hours, delaying or preventing training, requiring an
employee to work in poorer conditions, withholding pay, refusing to assign the employee to a Federal
contract or other assignment, or otherwise assuming that he or she is unauthorized to work) until and
unless secondary verification by SSA or DHS has been completed and a final nonconfirmation has
been issued. If the employee does not choose to contest a tentative nonconfirmation or a photo
mismatch or if a secondary verification is completed and a final nonconfirmation is issued, then the
Employer can find the employee is not work authorized and terminate the employee’s employment.
Employers or employees with questions about a final nonconfirmation may call E-Verify at 1-888-464-
4218 (customer service) or 1-888-897-7781 (worker hotline).
14. The Employer agrees to comply with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and section 274B of
the INA as applicable by not discriminating unlawfully against any individual in hiring, firing,
employment eligibility verification, or recruitment or referral practices because of his or her national
origin or citizenship status, or by committing discriminatory documentary practices. The Employer
understands that such illegal practices can include selective verification or use of E-Verify except as
provided in part D below, or discharging or refusing to hire employees because they appear or sound
“foreign” or have received tentative nonconfirmations. The Employer further understands that any
violation of the immigration-related unfair employment practices provisions in section 274B of the INA
could subject the Employer to civil penalties, back pay awards, and other sanctions, and violations of
Title VII could subject the Employer to back pay awards, compensatory and punitive damages.
Violations of either section 274B of the INA or Title VII may also lead to the termination of its
participation in E-Verify. If the Employer has any questions relating to the anti-discrimination provision,
it should contact OSC at 1-800-255-8155 or 1-800-237-2515 (TDD).
15. The Employer agrees that it will use the information it receives from E-Verify only to confirm the
employment eligibility of employees as authorized by this MOU. The Employer agrees that it will
safeguard this information, and means of access to it (such as PINS and passwords), to ensure that it
is not used for any other purpose and as necessary to protect its confidentiality, including ensuring that
it is not disseminated to any person other than employees of the Employer who are authorized to
perform the Employer's responsibilities under this MOU, except for such dissemination as may be
authorized in advance by SSA or DHS for legitimate purposes.
16. The Employer agrees to notify DHS immediately in the event of a breach of personal information.
Breaches are defined as loss of control or unauthorized access to E-Verify personal data. All
suspected or confirmed breaches should be reported by calling 1-888-464-4218 or via email at
E-Verify@dhs.gov. Please use “Privacy Incident – Password” in the subject line of your email when
sending a breach report to E-Verify.
17. The Employer acknowledges that the information it receives from SSA is governed by the Privacy
Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a(i)(1) and (3)) and the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1306(a)). Any person who
obtains this information under false pretenses or uses it for any purpose other than as provided for in
this MOU may be subject to criminal penalties.
18. The Employer agrees to cooperate with DHS and SSA in their compliance monitoring and
evaluation of E-Verify, which includes permitting DHS, SSA, their contractors and other agents, upon
Page 5 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
reasonable notice, to review Forms I-9 and other employment records and to interview it and its
employees regarding the Employer’s use of E-Verify, and to respond in a prompt and accurate manner
to DHS requests for information relating to their participation in E-Verify.
19. The Employer shall not make any false or unauthorized claims or references about its participation
in E-Verify on its website, in advertising materials, or other media. The Employer shall not describe its
services as federally-approved, federally-certified, or federally-recognized, or use language with a
similar intent on its website or other materials provided to the public. Entering into this MOU does not
mean that E-Verify endorses or authorizes your E-Verify services and any claim to that effect is false.
20. The Employer shall not state in its website or other public documents that any language used
therein has been provided or approved by DHS, USCIS or the Verification Division, without first
obtaining the prior written consent of DHS.
21. The Employer agrees that E-Verify trademarks and logos may be used only under license by
DHS/USCIS (see M-795 (Web)) and, other than pursuant to the specific terms of such license, may not
be used in any manner that might imply that the Employer’s services, products, websites, or
publications are sponsored by, endorsed by, licensed by, or affiliated with DHS, USCIS, or E-Verify.
22. The Employer understands that if it uses E-Verify procedures for any purpose other than as
authorized by this MOU, the Employer may be subject to appropriate legal action and termination of its
participation in E-Verify according to this MOU.
B. RESPONSIBILITIES OF FEDERAL CONTRACTORS
1. If the Employer is a Federal contractor with the FAR E-Verify clause subject to the employment
verification terms in Subpart 22.18 of the FAR, it will become familiar with and comply with the most
current version of the E-Verify User Manual for Federal Contractors as well as the E-Verify
Supplemental Guide for Federal Contractors.
2. In addition to the responsibilities of every employer outlined in this MOU, the Employer understands
that if it is a Federal contractor subject to the employment verification terms in Subpart 22.18 of the
FAR it must verify the employment eligibility of any “employee assigned to the contract” (as defined in
FAR 22.1801). Once an employee has been verified through E-Verify by the Employer, the Employer
may not create a second case for the employee through E-Verify.
a. An Employer that is not enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor at the time of a contract
award must enroll as a Federal contractor in the E-Verify program within 30 calendar days of
contract award and, within 90 days of enrollment, begin to verify employment eligibility of new hires
using E-Verify. The Employer must verify those employees who are working in the United States,
whether or not they are assigned to the contract. Once the Employer begins verifying new hires,
such verification of new hires must be initiated within three business days after the hire date. Once
enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor, the Employer must begin verification of employees
assigned to the contract within 90 calendar days after the date of enrollment or within 30 days of an
employee’s assignment to the contract, whichever date is later.
Page 6 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
b. Employers enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal contractor for 90 days or more at the time of a
contract award must use E-Verify to begin verification of employment eligibility for new hires of the
Employer who are working in the United States, whether or not assigned to the contract, within
three business days after the date of hire. If the Employer is enrolled in E-Verify as a Federal
contractor for 90 calendar days or less at the time of contract award, the Employer must, within 90
days of enrollment, begin to use E-Verify to initiate verification of new hires of the contractor who
are working in the United States, whether or not assigned to the contract. Such verification of new
hires must be initiated within three business days after the date of hire. An Employer enrolled as a
Federal contractor in E-Verify must begin verification of each employee assigned to the contract
within 90 calendar days after date of contract award or within 30 days after assignment to the
contract, whichever is later.
c. Federal contractors that are institutions of higher education (as defined at 20 U.S.C. 1001(a)),
state or local governments, governments of Federally recognized Indian tribes, or sureties
performing under a takeover agreement entered into with a Federal agency under a performance
bond may choose to only verify new and existing employees assigned to the Federal contract. Such
Federal contractors may, however, elect to verify all new hires, and/or all existing employees hired
after November 6, 1986. Employers in this category must begin verification of employees assigned
to the contract within 90 calendar days after the date of enrollment or within 30 days of an
employee’s assignment to the contract, whichever date is later.
d. Upon enrollment, Employers who are Federal contractors may elect to verify employment
eligibility of all existing employees working in the United States who were hired after November 6,
1986, instead of verifying only those employees assigned to a covered Federal contract. After
enrollment, Employers must elect to verify existing staff following DHS procedures and begin
E-Verify verification of all existing employees within 180 days after the election.
e. The Employer may use a previously completed Form I-9 as the basis for creating an E-Verify
case for an employee assigned to a contract as long as:
i. That Form I-9 is complete (including the SSN) and complies with Article II.A.6,
ii. The employee’s work authorization has not expired, and
iii. The Employer has reviewed the Form I-9 information either in person or in
communications with the employee to ensure that the employee’s Section 1, Form I-9
attestation has not changed (including, but not limited to, a lawful permanent resident alien
having become a naturalized U.S. citizen).
f. The Employer shall complete a new Form I-9 consistent with Article II.A.6 or update the
previous Form I-9 to provide the necessary information if:
i. The Employer cannot determine that Form I-9 complies with Article II.A.6,
ii. The employee’s basis for work authorization as attested in Section 1 has expired or
changed, or
iii. The Form I-9 contains no SSN or is otherwise incomplete.
Note: If Section 1 of Form I-9 is otherwise valid and up-to-date and the form otherwise complies with
Page 7 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
Article II.C.5, but reflects documentation (such as a U.S. passport or Form I-551) that expired after
completing Form I-9, the Employer shall not require the production of additional documentation, or use
the photo screening tool described in Article II.A.5, subject to any additional or superseding instructions
that may be provided on this subject in the E-Verify User Manual.
g. The Employer agrees not to require a second verification using E-Verify of any assigned
employee who has previously been verified as a newly hired employee under this MOU or to
authorize verification of any existing employee by any Employer that is not a Federal contractor
based on this Article.
3. The Employer understands that if it is a Federal contractor, its compliance with this MOU is a
performance requirement under the terms of the Federal contract or subcontract, and the Employer
consents to the release of information relating to compliance with its verification responsibilities under
this MOU to contracting officers or other officials authorized to review the Employer’s compliance with
Federal contracting requirements.
C. RESPONSIBILITIES OF SSA
1. SSA agrees to allow DHS to compare data provided by the Employer against SSA’s database. SSA
sends DHS confirmation that the data sent either matches or does not match the information in SSA’s
database.
2. SSA agrees to safeguard the information the Employer provides through E-Verify procedures. SSA
also agrees to limit access to such information, as is appropriate by law, to individuals responsible for
the verification of Social Security numbers or responsible for evaluation of E-Verify or such other
persons or entities who may be authorized by SSA as governed by the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a),
the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1306(a)), and SSA regulations (20 CFR Part 401).
3. SSA agrees to provide case results from its database within three Federal Government work days of
the initial inquiry. E-Verify provides the information to the Employer.
4. SSA agrees to update SSA records as necessary if the employee who contests the SSA tentative
nonconfirmation visits an SSA field office and provides the required evidence. If the employee visits an
SSA field office within the eight Federal Government work days from the date of referral to SSA, SSA
agrees to update SSA records, if appropriate, within the eight-day period unless SSA determines that
more than eight days may be necessary. In such cases, SSA will provide additional instructions to the
employee. If the employee does not visit SSA in the time allowed, E-Verify may provide a final
nonconfirmation to the employer.
Note: If an Employer experiences technical problems, or has a policy question, the employer should
contact E-Verify at 1-888-464-4218.
D. RESPONSIBILITIES OF DHS
1. DHS agrees to provide the Employer with selected data from DHS databases to enable the
Employer to conduct, to the extent authorized by this MOU:
a. Automated verification checks on alien employees by electronic means, and
Page 8 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
b. Photo verification checks (when available) on employees.
2. DHS agrees to assist the Employer with operational problems associated with the Employer's
participation in E-Verify. DHS agrees to provide the Employer names, titles, addresses, and telephone
numbers of DHS representatives to be contacted during the E-Verify process.
3. DHS agrees to provide to the Employer with access to E-Verify training materials as well as an
E-Verify User Manual that contain instructions on E-Verify policies, procedures, and requirements for
both SSA and DHS, including restrictions on the use of E-Verify.
4. DHS agrees to train Employers on all important changes made to E-Verify through the use of
mandatory refresher tutorials and updates to the E-Verify User Manual. Even without changes to
E-Verify, DHS reserves the right to require employers to take mandatory refresher tutorials.
5. DHS agrees to provide to the Employer a notice, which indicates the Employer's participation in
E-Verify. DHS also agrees to provide to the Employer anti-discrimination notices issued by the Office of
Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices (OSC), Civil Rights Division,
U.S. Department of Justice.
6. DHS agrees to issue each of the Employer’s E-Verify users a unique user identification number and
password that permits them to log in to E-Verify.
7. DHS agrees to safeguard the information the Employer provides, and to limit access to such
information to individuals responsible for the verification process, for evaluation of E-Verify, or to such
other persons or entities as may be authorized by applicable law. Information will be used only to verify
the accuracy of Social Security numbers and employment eligibility, to enforce the INA and Federal
criminal laws, and to administer Federal contracting requirements.
8. DHS agrees to provide a means of automated verification that provides (in conjunction with SSA
verification procedures) confirmation or tentative nonconfirmation of employees' employment eligibility
within three Federal Government work days of the initial inquiry.
9. DHS agrees to provide a means of secondary verification (including updating DHS records) for
employees who contest DHS tentative nonconfirmations and photo mismatch tentative
nonconfirmations. This provides final confirmation or nonconfirmation of the employees' employment
eligibility within 10 Federal Government work days of the date of referral to DHS, unless DHS
determines that more than 10 days may be necessary. In such cases, DHS will provide additional
verification instructions.
ARTICLE III
REFERRAL OF INDIVIDUALS TO SSA AND DHS
A. REFERRAL TO SSA
1. If the Employer receives a tentative nonconfirmation issued by SSA, the Employer must print the
notice as directed by E-Verify. The Employer must promptly notify employees in private of the finding
and provide them with the notice and letter containing information specific to the employee’s E-Verify
Page 9 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
case. The Employer also agrees to provide both the English and the translated notice and letter for
employees with limited English proficiency to employees. The Employer agrees to provide written
referral instructions to employees and instruct affected employees to bring the English copy of the letter
to the SSA. The Employer must allow employees to contest the finding, and not take adverse action
against employees if they choose to contest the finding, while their case is still pending.
2. The Employer agrees to obtain the employee’s response about whether he or she will contest the
tentative nonconfirmation as soon as possible after the Employer receives the tentative
nonconfirmation. Only the employee may determine whether he or she will contest the tentative
nonconfirmation.
3. After a tentative nonconfirmation, the Employer will refer employees to SSA field offices only as
directed by E-Verify. The Employer must record the case verification number, review the employee
information submitted to E-Verify to identify any errors, and find out whether the employee contests the
tentative nonconfirmation. The Employer will transmit the Social Security number, or any other
corrected employee information that SSA requests, to SSA for verification again if this review indicates
a need to do so.
4. The Employer will instruct the employee to visit an SSA office within eight Federal Government work
days. SSA will electronically transmit the result of the referral to the Employer within 10 Federal
Government work days of the referral unless it determines that more than 10 days is necessary.
5. While waiting for case results, the Employer agrees to check the E-Verify system regularly for case
updates.
6. The Employer agrees not to ask the employee to obtain a printout from the Social Security
Administration number database (the Numident) or other written verification of the SSN from the SSA.
B. REFERRAL TO DHS
1. If the Employer receives a tentative nonconfirmation issued by DHS, the Employer must promptly
notify employees in private of the finding and provide them with the notice and letter containing
information specific to the employee’s E-Verify case. The Employer also agrees to provide both the
English and the translated notice and letter for employees with limited English proficiency to
employees. The Employer must allow employees to contest the finding, and not take adverse action
against employees if they choose to contest the finding, while their case is still pending.
2. The Employer agrees to obtain the employee’s response about whether he or she will contest the
tentative nonconfirmation as soon as possible after the Employer receives the tentative
nonconfirmation. Only the employee may determine whether he or she will contest the tentative
nonconfirmation.
3. The Employer agrees to refer individuals to DHS only when the employee chooses to contest a
tentative nonconfirmation.
4. If the employee contests a tentative nonconfirmation issued by DHS, the Employer will instruct the
Page 10 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
employee to contact DHS through its toll-free hotline (as found on the referral letter) within eight
Federal Government work days.
5. If the Employer finds a photo mismatch, the Employer must provide the photo mismatch tentative
nonconfirmation notice and follow the instructions outlined in paragraph 1 of this section for tentative
nonconfirmations, generally.
6. The Employer agrees that if an employee contests a tentative nonconfirmation based upon a photo
mismatch, the Employer will send a copy of the employee’s Form I-551, Form I-766, U.S. Passport, or
passport card to DHS for review by:
a. Scanning and uploading the document, or
b. Sending a photocopy of the document by express mail (furnished and paid for by the employer).
7. The Employer understands that if it cannot determine whether there is a photo match/mismatch, the
Employer must forward the employee’s documentation to DHS as described in the preceding
paragraph. The Employer agrees to resolve the case as specified by the DHS representative who will
determine the photo match or mismatch.
8. DHS will electronically transmit the result of the referral to the Employer within 10 Federal
Government work days of the referral unless it determines that more than 10 days is necessary.
9. While waiting for case results, the Employer agrees to check the E-Verify system regularly for case
updates.
ARTICLE IV
SERVICE PROVISIONS
A. NO SERVICE FEES
1. SSA and DHS will not charge the Employer for verification services performed under this MOU. The
Employer is responsible for providing equipment needed to make inquiries. To access E-Verify, an
Employer will need a personal computer with Internet access.
ARTICLE V
MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION
A. MODIFICATION
1. This MOU is effective upon the signature of all parties and shall continue in effect for as long as the
SSA and DHS operates the E-Verify program unless modified in writing by the mutual consent of all
parties.
2. Any and all E-Verify system enhancements by DHS or SSA, including but not limited to E-Verify
checking against additional data sources and instituting new verification policies or procedures, will be
covered under this MOU and will not cause the need for a supplemental MOU that outlines these
changes.
Page 11 of 17 E-Verify MOU for Employers | Revision Date 06/01/13
Company ID Number:
B. TERMINATION
1. The Employer may terminate this MOU and its participation in E-Verify at any time upon 30 days
prior written notice to the other parties.
2. Notwithstanding Article V, part A of this MOU, DHS may terminate this MOU, and thereby the
Employer’s participation in E-Verify, with or without notice at any time if deemed necessary because of
the requirements of law or policy, or upon a determination by SSA or DHS that there has been a breach
of system integrity or security by the Employer, or a failure on the part of the Employer to comply with
established E-Verify procedures and/or legal requirements. The Employer understands that if it is a
Federal contractor, termination of this MOU by any party for any reason may negatively affect the
performance of its contractual responsibilities. Similarly, the Employer understands that if it is in a state
where E-Verify is mandatory, termination of this by any party MOU may negatively affect the
Employer’s business.
3. An Employer that is a Federal contractor may terminate this MOU when the Federal contract that
requires its participation in E-Verify is terminated or completed. In such cases, the Federal contractor
must provide written notice to DHS. If an Employer that is a Federal contractor fails to provide such
notice, then that Employer will remain an E-Verify participant, will remain bound by the terms of this
MOU that apply to non-Federal contractor participants, and will be required to use the E-Verify
procedures to verify the employment eligibility of all newly hired employees.
4. The Employer agrees that E-Verify is not liable for any losses, financial or otherwise, if the Employer
is terminated from E-Verify.
ARTICLE VI
PARTIES
A. Some or all SSA and DHS responsibilities under this MOU may be performed by contractor(s), and
SSA and DHS may adjust verification responsibilities between each other as necessary. By separate
agreement with DHS, SSA has agreed to perform its responsibilities as described in this MOU.
B. Nothing in this MOU is intended, or should be construed, to create any right or benefit, substantive
or procedural, enforceable at law by any third party against the United States, its agencies, officers, or
employees, or against the Employer, its agents, officers, or employees.
C. The Employer may not assign, directly or indirectly, whether by operation of law, change of control or
merger, all or any part of its rights or obligations under this MOU without the prior written consent of
DHS, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any attempt to sublicense, assign,
or transfer any of the rights, duties, or obligations herein is void.
D. Each party shall be solely responsible for defending any claim or action against it arising out of or
related to E-Verify or this MOU, whether civil or criminal, and for any liability wherefrom, including (but
not limited to) any dispute between the Employer and any other person or entity regarding the
applicability of Section 403(d) of IIRIRA to any action taken or allegedly taken by the Employer.
E. The Employer understands that its participation in E-Verify is not confidential information and may be
disclosed as authorized or required by law and DHS or SSA policy, including but not limited to,

Company ID Number:
Congressional oversight, E-Verify publicity and media inquiries, determinations of compliance with
Federal contractual requirements, and responses to inquiries under the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA).
F. The individuals whose signatures appear below represent that they are authorized to enter into this
MOU on behalf of the Employer and DHS respectively. The Employer understands that any inaccurate
statement, representation, data or other information provided to DHS may subject the Employer, its
subcontractors, its employees, or its representatives to: (1) prosecution for false statements pursuant to
18 U.S.C. 1001 and/or; (2) immediate termination of its MOU and/or; (3) possible debarment or
suspension.
G. The foregoing constitutes the full agreement on this subject between DHS and the Employer.
