Exhibit I: Scope of Work, Specifications and Response Format
As requested by the Parks and Recreation Division (hereinafter, the “Division or Department”),
the Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division (hereinafter,
“County”) has issued this Request for Proposal (hereinafter, “RFP”) with the intent of obtaining
proposals from interested and qualified Consultants in accordance with the terms, conditions
and specifications stated or attached. The Consultant, at a minimum, must achieve the
requirements of the Specifications or Scope of Work stated.
The results of this solicitation may be used by other County departments once awarded
according to the Board of County Commissioners Purchasing Policy.
Brief Description of Purchase
The Collier County Parks and Recreation Division is seeking qualified firms capable of
providing engineering services as required for design, permitting and project oversight
services for the new Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park (BCIRP). The proposal must
identify architectural, environmental, civil, electrical, plumbing, structural and landscape
architecture for the complete design and required permits. The selected firm will function as
part of the project team in cooperation with the Owner to achieve a quality, cost effective
product.
Background
Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park is located north of Oil Well Road, east of Immokalee
Road, and runs South East of the Fairgrounds. The park was originally designed in 2006
but, due to budget restraints, the project was postponed. Several public meetings were held
to gain input from interested citizens. The meetings determined that the needs and desires
of the public have changed, so the park elements were reevaluated and ranked based on
public input. The conceptual master plan has been developed and was approved by the
Board of County Commissioners on February 23rd, 2016.
The project area totals approximately 156 acres, which is separated into two sections by a
canal. There is a North West section at approximately 49 acres and a South East section at
approximately 107 acres. The Big Corkscrew Island Lake is planned for partial fill and
restructure to provide additional park land for park components and the storm water
management system.
The Collier County Water-Sewer District managed by the Public Utilities Department owns
the property directly east and north of the proposed park site. This property is planned to
have water and wastewater supply and treatment facilities in the future. The planning and
layout of the BCIRP will need to anticipate future infrastructure that will need to be
constructed within the boundary of the park.
Connections to the existing Recycling Facility and Orange Blossom Ranch development will
be included in the planning/integration of these access points from both the west and
southeast points for infrastructure (water/sewer/roads/pathways/etc.).

Organizational Conflict Review
Prior to the issuance of this request for proposal, the County entered into short term work
orders with Agnoli, Barber, & Brundage and Stantec to provide the following services: collect
data, conduct public workshops and meetings, develop preliminary conceptual design,
present findings and provide preliminary budgets. The County’s Procurement Services
Division Director reviewed a number of federal agency and grant related authorities
regarding organizational and consultant conflicts of interest. In most cases, but more
specifically, in the case of the Federal Acquisition Regulations 9.054 and 9.505, it is the
contracting officer’s responsibility to “avoid, neutralize or mitigate significant conflicts before
the contract award,” with the underlying principle of preventing an unfair competitive
advantage [in this case to Agnoli, Barber & Brundage and Stantec].
The Procurement Director has reviewed associated documents and meeting minutes
prepared by both consultants and has taken the following action to mitigate and neutralize
any conflicts, or perceived conflicts, by implementing the following action items:
The Procurement Strategist has Identified in this document [request for proposal] that
both Stantec and Agnoli, Barber & Brundage had County short term and specific work
orders related to the Northeast Service Area / Big Corkscrew Regional Park;
The Procurement Director has modified the original Selection Committee membership;
and,
All documents provided and created by both firms will be made available to any
prospective consultants during the solicitation process at the following web address:

In order for the Consultant to be awarded any points for this tab, the County requests
that the Consultant submits five (5) completed reference forms from clients whose

will only use the methodology calculations for the first five (5) references (only)
submitted by the Consultant in their proposal.
Prior to the Selection Committee reviewing proposals, the following methodology will be
applied to each Consultant’s information provided in this area:
The County will total each of the Consultant’s five reference questionnaires and
create a ranking from highest number of points to lowest number of points.
References marked with an N/A (or similar notation will be given the score of
zero (0)). Consultants who do not turn in reference forms will be counted as zero
(0).
The greatest number of points allowed in this criterion will be awarded to the
Consultant who has the highest score.

The next highest Consultant’s number of points will be divided by the highest
Consultant’s points which will then be multiplied by criteria points to determine
the Consultant’s points awarded. Each subsequent Consultant’s point score will
be calculated in the same manner.
Points awarded will be extended to the whole number per Microsoft Excel.
For illustrative purposes only, see chart for an example of how these points would be
distributed among the five proposers.

Note: Sample chart reflects a 10 point reference criterion.
The points awarded by Consultant will be distributed to the Selection Committee prior to
their evaluation of the proposals. The Selection Committee will review the Consultant’s
proposal to ensure consistency and completion of all tasks in the RFP, and review the
Points Awarded per Consultant. The Selection Committee may, at their sole discretion,
contact references, and/or modify the reference points assigned after a thorough review
of the proposal and prior to final ranking by the final Selection Committee.

1. The County Manager or designee shall appoint a selection committee to review all
proposals submitted.
2. The Request for Proposal is issued. Subsequent to the receipt closing date for the
proposals, the Procurement professional will review the proposals received and
verify each proposal to determine if it minimally responds to the requirements of the
published RFP.
3. Selection committee meetings will be open to the public and the Procurement
professional will publicly post prior notice of such meeting(s) in the lobby of the
Purchasing Building and on the County’s Procurement Services Internet site.
4. Prior to the first meeting (Organization Meeting ) of the selection committee, the
Procurement professional will post a notice announcing the date, time and place of

the meeting at least three (3) working days prior to the meeting. At the initial
organization meeting, the selection committee members will receive instructions, the
submitted proposals, and establish the next selection committee meeting date and
time. After the first meeting, the Procurement professional will publically announce
all subsequent committee meeting dates and times. The subseq uent meeting dates
and times will be posted with at least one (1) day advanced notice.
5. Selection committee members will independently review and score each proposal
based on the evaluation criteria stated in the request for proposal using the Individual
Selection Committee Score and Rank Form and prepare comments for discussion at
the next meeting. The Individual Selection Committee Score and Rank Form is
merely a tool to assist the selection committee member in their review of the
proposals.
6. At the scheduled selection meeting, the members will present their independent
findings / conclusions / comments based on their reading and interpretation of the
materials presented to each other, and may ask questions of one another. At the
conclusion of that discussion, members of the public will be offered an opportunity
(not to exceed three (3) minutes) to provide comments.
7. At the conclusion of public comments (provided for in number 7), the selection
committee members will individually rank order each proposer. Collier County
selection committee members may consider all the material submitted by the
Proposer and other information Collier County may obtain to determine whether the
Proposer is capable of and has a history of successfully completing projects of this
type, including, without limitation, additional information Collier County may request,
clarification of proposer information, public comments, and/or additional credit
information.
8. Once the individual ranking has been completed, the Procurement professional will
direct selection committee members to read their individual ranking publically. The
Procurement professional will record individual rankings on the Final Ranking Sheet
which will mathematically compile into an overall selection committee rank of
proposers.
9. In any of the selection committee meeting deliberations, by consensus, members
may request to invite proposers in to clarify their proposals, ask for additional
information, present materials, interview, ask questions, etc. The members may
consider any and all information obtained through this method in formulating their
individual ranking and subsequent selection committee overall ranking and final
ranking.
10. The selection committee’s overall rank of firms in order of preference (from highest
beginning with a rank of one (1) to the lowest) will be discussed and reviewed by the
Procurement Strategist. By final consensus, and having used all information
presented (proposal, presentation, references, etc.), the selection committee
members will create a final ranking and staff will subsequently enter into
negotiations. Award of the contract is dependent upon the successful and full
execution of a mutually agreed contract, pending the final approval by the Board of
County Commissioners.
The County reserves the right to withdraw this RFP at any time and for any reason, and
to issue such clarifications, modifications, addendums, and/or amendments as it may
deem appropriate, including, but not limited, to requesting supplemental proposal
information.

County’s financial system) within the last five (5) years will receive the higher individual
ranking. This information will be based on information provided by the Consultant, subject
to verification at the County’s option. If there is a multiple firm tie in either individual scoring
or final ranking, the firm with the lowest volume of work shall receive t he higher ranking, the

documents attached to or referenced
therein) constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties, unless otherwise

COUNTY from VENDOR shall be deemed to
be upon the terms and conditions contained
in this Purchase Order.
No additional terms may be added and

or payment for any delivery of goods and/or
services, or any similar act by VENDOR.
3. Inspection
All goods and/or services delivered

payment therefore shall not constitute
acceptance. All payments are subject to
adjustment for shortage or rejection. All
defective or nonconforming goods will be
returned pursuant to VENDOR'S instruction
at VENDOR’S expense.
To the extent that a purchase order requires
a series of performances by VENDOR, the
COUNTY prospectively reserves the right to
cancel the entire remainder of the Purchase
Order if goods and/or services provided
early in the term of the Purchase Order are
non-conforming or otherwise rejected by the
COUNTY.
4. Shipping and Invoices
a) All goods are FOB destination and must
be suitably packed and prepared to
secure the lowest transportation rates
and to comply with all carrier
regulations. Risk of loss of any goods
sold hereunder shall transfer to the
COUNTY at the time and place of
delivery; provided that risk of loss prior
to actual receipt of the goods by the
COUNTY nonetheless remain with
VENDOR.
b) No charges will be paid by the COUNTY
for packing, crating or cartage unless
otherwise specifically stated in this
Purchase Order. Unless otherwise
provided in Purchase Order, no invoices
shall be issued nor payments made
prior to delivery. Unless freight and

discount will be taken on the full amount
of invoice.

VENDOR agrees to declare to the
carrier the value of any shipment made
under this Purchase Order and the full
invoice value of such shipment.

Order number and any other specific
information as identified on the
Purchase Order. Discounts of prompt
payment will be computed from the date
of receipt of goods or from date of
receipt of invoices, whichever is later.

Time for delivery of goods or performance of
services under this Purchase Order is of the
essence. Failure of VENDOR to meet
delivery schedules or deliver within a
reasonable time, as interpreted by the
COUNTY in its sole judgment, shall entitle
the COUNTY to seek all remedies available
to it at law or in equity. VENDOR agrees to
reimburse the COUNTY for any expenses
incurred in enforcing its rights. VENDOR
further agrees that undiscovered delivery of
nonconforming goods and/or services is not
a waiver of the COUNTY’S right to insist
upon further compliance with all
specifications.
6. Changes
The COUNTY may at any time and by
written notice make changes to drawings
and specifications, shipping instructions,
quantities and delivery schedules within the
general scope of this Purchase Order.

decrease the cost of, or the time required for
performance of the Purchase Order, an
equitable adjustment in the price and/or
delivery schedule will be negotiated by the
COUNTY and VENDOR. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, VENDOR has an affirmative
obligation to give notice if the changes will
decrease costs. Any claims for adjustment
by VENDOR must be made within thirty (30)
days from the date the change is ordered or
within such additional period of time as may
be agreed upon by the parties.

change. As a general business practice, these contracts include back-up documentation of costs;
invoices would include number of hours worked and billing rate by position (and not company (or
subcontractor) timekeeping or payroll records), material or equipment invoices, and other
reimbursable documentation for the project.

specifically those contractual requirements at F.S. § 119.0701(2) (a)-(d) and (3)), ordinances, codes,
rules, regulations and requirements of any governmental agencies.
8. Work Orders on Fixed Term Contracts
The County reserves the right to order such services from selected firms as may be required during said
period, but does not guarantee any minimum or maximum services to be ordered during the period
specified from any given firm. Work Order service assignments shall be at the sole discretion of the
County.
The contracts are classified as fixed-term Countywide Agreements for various and miscellaneous
services which will be utilized on an as-needed basis. Assignments shall be implemented with Work
Orders subject to a maximum of $200,000 per Work Order. Work Order assignments in excess of
$200,000 shall be approved by the Board of County Commissioners.

order will be active and extended as necessary until completion of such project.

specifically authorized by the Project Manager.
Payments will be made for articles and/or services furnished, delivered, and accepted, upon receipt and
approval of invoices submitted on the date of services or within six (6) months after completion of
contract. Any untimely submission of invoices beyond the specified deadline period is subject to non-
payment under the legal doctrine of “laches” as untimely submitted. Time shall be deemed of the
essence with respect to the timely submission of invoices under this agreement.
In instances where the successful contractor may owe debts (including, but not limited to taxes or other
fees) to Collier County and the contractor has not satisfied nor made arrangement to satisfy these
debts, the County reserves the right to off-set the amount owed to the County by applying the amount
owed to the vendor or contractor for services performed of for materials delivered in association with a
contract.
Invoices shall not reflect sales tax. After review and approval, the invoice will be transmitted to the
Finance Division for payment. Payment will be made upon receipt of proper invoice and in compliance
with Chapter 218 Florida Statutes, otherwise known as the “Local Government Prompt Payment Act.”
Collier County reserves the right to withhold and/or reduce an appropriate amount of any payment for
work not performed or for unsatisfactory performance of Contractual requirements.

The Consultant certifies that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the past and current work on any Collier County
project affiliated with: Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park does not pose an organizational conflict as described by one
of the three categories below:
Biased ground rules – The firm has not set the “ground rules” for affiliated past or current Collier County project
identified above (e.g., writing a procurement’s statement of work, specifications, or performing systems engineering
and technical direction for the procurement) which appears to skew the competition in favor of my firm.
Impaired objectivity – The firm has not performed work on an affiliated past or current Collier County project
identified above to evaluate proposals / past performance of itself or a competitor, which calls into question the
contractor’s ability to render impartial advice to the government.

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

1. All documents produced as a result of the work completed in the past or currently being worked on for the
above mentioned project; and,

non-public (not in the “sunshine”) conversation (s), meeting(s), document(s) and/or other means.
Failure to disclose all material or having an organizational conflict in one or more of the three categories ab ove be
identified, may result in the disqualification for future solicitations affiliated with the above referenced project(s).
By the signature below, the firm (employees, officers and/or agents) certifies, and hereby discloses, that, to the best of

RE: CCNA Solicitation 15-6622 Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park
Dear Mr. Catoe and the members of the Selection Committee:
Q. Grady Minor & Associates (GradyMinor) is pleased to submit this proposal for the Big Corkscrew Island Regional
Park project. We know that parks enrich communities and are valued by residents and visitors to an area whether
walking a dog, playing soccer, or having a picnic. In addition to leisure amenities, parks provide quantifiable health
benefits, from providing direct contact with nature and a cleaner environment, to opportunities for physical
activity and social interaction. The Golden Gate Estates, Orange Tree, and Corkscrew communities have voiced
their desire for a regional park for decades and the Board of County Commissions have appropriated funds to
design and construct a park in FY 2017. The GradyMinor Team is very excited about the opportunity to work with
Collier County and the Community to design a park to facilitate outdoor activities, exercising, birthday parties,
family reunions, sports, birdwatching, and relaxation. This will be a park that we will use with our families and
friends and we will work tirelessly to create a park that will be a landmark park for all of SW Florida.
GradyMinor has been serving public and private sector clients in southwest Florida with planning, surveying, civil
engineering, and landscape design for over 35 years. Our office is located a twenty minute drive from Collier
County’s offices and the Big Corkscrew island Regional park site. Our team is comprised of nearly 40 Collier
County residents including our firm’s Principals (Mark W. Minor, P.E. and Wayne Arnold, AICP); our proposed
Project Manager and Deputy Project Manager (Mike Delate, P.E. and Justin Frederiksen, P.E.); and our proposed
project coordinate/liaison (Tony Ruberto, PM).
Our firm has provided recent engineering, permitting, and design services on the following local Parks:
Gordon River Greenway Park
Sugden Regional Park
East Naples Community Park
Margood Community Park
J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge Park
Throughout the phases of this project our approach will revolve around putting the residents and stakeholders
first, while providing sound engineer design and exceptional service to Collier County at an economical cost.
In addition to the expertise of our in-house professionals, we have assembled a team of area experts which will
provide Collier County with the experience of a multi-disciplinary team who will successfully fulfill the County’s
requirement to design, permit and oversee the completion of the Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park project. Our
team includes Victor J. Latavish Architects, PA; JRL Design Studio; Collier Environmental Consultants; Hollis
Engineering Consultants; Aquatic Design & engineering; Barth & Associates; Forge Engineering; and Turf Keepers.

We are not a top heavy firm and have teamed with similar firms to ensure the fees paid for this project not only
stay local, but do not go to corporate headquarters out of state or out of the Country. The County will not see
upper management and marketing personnel billing to this project. The experienced individuals that will be
billing to this project will be the people you know and recognize. Additionally, our professional design service
fees are typically 25-50% less than large firms for the same services. Entirely Florida, with the Core Team

Design Team Overview
All of the work the GradyMinor Team will perform on the Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park project will be
performed in from Florida and the majority of the work will be performed by the “Core Team” that is entirely
located in Collier and Lee Counties. GradyMinor’s main office is located at 3800 Via Del Rey, Bonita Springs,
FL 34134 and is where all of GradyMinor’s work will be performed from. We are a 20 minute drive from the
County’s offices and the project site. We have assembled a local, experienced, and cohesive team that is
ready and capable of getting to work quickly and efficiently to make the Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park a
reality. Our team is very familiar with the project. Victor Latavish performed architectural services for the
original Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park in 2006 and GradyMinor, Victor Latavish, and Collier
Environmental worked together on Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park improvements in 2010. The Team of
professionals assembled for this project has the required expertise and local knowledge to assure successful
implementation of this multi-phase, multi-year project.

Though the GradyMinor Team consists of a significant number of members, the majority of the work will be
performed by the Core Team (GradyMinor, Victor Latavish, JRL Design Studio, and Collier Environmental).
Each Specialty Team member has their own special skills that will be utilized as needed to assist the County
on this exciting project. This Team has worked successfully together with GradyMinor for many years and we
consistently call upon each other as the occasions arise to work on projects together. The majority of the team
members are local with nearly 40 employees being Collier County residents. We have built our careers and
raised our families in Collier County.
Collier County RFP 16-6622 TAB III-10
Project Understanding and Approach
Our Interest
The Q. Grady Minor & Associates, P.A. (GradyMinor) Team has a personal interest with the Big
Corkscrew Island Park (BCIRP) as nearly 40 employees of our Team live in Collier County. Collier
County is where we live, work, and play. For our Team the proposed Big Corkscrew Island Regional
Park is:
A park that we will enjoy with our friends and families.
A park that our tax money will pay for.
A park that we want.
GradyMinor has provided professional services to the Orangetree community, where the BCIRP site
is located, over the past 25 years and we are uniquely experienced with extensive history and
knowledge in planning, development, and engineering for this area of Collier County. Our
experience in utility infrastructure, surface water management system, permitting, and site work
excavations will limit any learning curve and avoid time and effort being spent where it does not need
to be.
History
The Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park is located in northcentral Collier County in a 4.4 square
mile area designated as Orangetree. Orangetree was originally planned as “Golden Gate City
North” and the Gulf American Land Corporation (GAC) cleared, excavated canals and filled the four
(4) sections of what was then planned to be the densely populated sister of Golden Gate City. After
GAC became insolvent there were many lawsuits and Orangetree was the result of a settlement
agreement between the parties. Originally Orangetree was planned as a 2,000 unit development
with several earth mines and farming, but the proposed density was not viable. During the early
1990s GradyMinor became engineer and surveyor of record retained by the developer, Mr. Theodor
Boldt and Ammon Golan doing business as Orangetree Associates.
We designed, permitted, and provided construction engineering services for the initial Utility plant
expansion before being named Orangetree Utility Company Engineer of Record. We have intimate
knowledge of the utility infrastructure servicing all of the Orangetree Utility Company service area.
As engineer of record we either designed or reviewed and approved utility line extensions for
Valencia, Orangetree, Orange Blossom Ranch and Waterways of Naples developments. While no
longer utility engineer of record, we still retain a substantial advantage in experience, understanding
and institutional knowledge of the project’s utility system.
For the Orange Blossom Ranch development, GradyMinor worked directly for the owner Bryan Paul
and provided planning and engineering services for this development. Provided below is letter of
recommendation from Bryan Paul on the BCIRP project.
Collier County RFP 16-6622 TAB III-11
Collier County RFP 16-6622 TAB III-12
Provided below is a figure depicting GradyMinors experience in Orangetree.
Earthwork will be a significant part of the Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park (BCIRP) project
and our past experience at Orangetree may allow this element to be completed for substantially
less money than presently planned, allowing resources to be placed into more exciting elements
of BCIRP. During the past twenty-five (25) years GradyMinor has engineered, permitted, as-
built, reclaimed and certified many of the large excavations in Orangetree including the large
lake called “Lake Michigan” as part of the Waterways of Naples development. Our experience
is very important to Big Cypress Island Regional Park. Lake Michigan is located in close
proximity to the existing agricultural reservoir that is planned as part of BCIRP to be partially
filled and reshaped. Importing material to fill in portions of the BCIRP Lake will be extremely
costly and time consuming with thousands of dump trucks traversing in and out of the area.
This is just one project element where our engineering experience will pay dividends to the
County. We, along with the owner and excavator, developed a method to excavate below the
subsurface rock lens without blasting, rock hammering or rock removal. We produced several
hundred thousand cubic yards of quality material from the Lake Michigan excavation that
otherwise would have remained in situ.
GradyMinor, if selected for this project, will propose the same method of excavation for the
BCIRP Lake and utilize the excavated material to fill and reshape the lake. The remaining lake
will be healthier with a large area of deep water and combined with the shallow areas, proper
aquatic plantings and sloping; the restored BCIRP Lake will be aesthetically pleasing and
provide good water quality. As a result there would likely be little need to purchase and haul fill
Collier County RFP 16-6622 TAB III-13
material resulting in a potential savings of millions of dollars.
The professionals that will be working on this project are all very familiar with the Big Corkscrew
Island Regional Park. Team member Victor Latavish was the architect on the original BCIRP
project in 2006 and GradyMinor along with Victor Latavish and Collier Environmental designed
and permitted a canoe/kayak launch, parking area, and walkway around Big Corkscrew Lake in
2010. Additionally, Tony Ruberto, our proposed project coordinator/liaison, served as a Collier
County senior project manager for over 13 years in the Parks and Recreation Department.
Tony was the senior project manager for the 200 acre North Collier Regional Recreational and
Gordon River Greenway Park. Tony knows what it takes to keep complex and multifaceted
projects moving towards a long term goal.
Project Understanding
Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park is located north of Oil Well Road, east of Immokalee Road,
and runs South East of the Fairgrounds. The project area totals approximately 156 acres, which
is separated into two sections by a canal. The northwest section is approximately 49 acres and
the southeast is approximately 107 acres, as depicted below.
The Big Corkscrew Island Lake is planned for partial fill and re-configuration to provide
additional park land for park components and for the storm water management system. The
park was originally designed in 2006 (with GradyMinor Team member Victor Latavish as the
Architect) but, due to budget restraints, the project was postponed. Recently, several public
meetings have been held to gain input from interested citizens. The meetings determined that
the needs and desires of the public have changed since 2006.
The Board of County Commission approved Master Plan of Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park
will be divided into phases that will be constructed as funding becomes available. The design
will be developed with input from the Collier County Staff and the local community and will utilize
available funding year-to-year to construct the improvements.
Collier County RFP 16-6622 TAB III-14
Key Issues
Earthwork
The Big Corkscrew Island Lake is planned for partial filling and re-structuring to provide
additional park land for park components and for the storm water management system. The
earthwork and material required to partially fill the lake will be a significant part of the BCIRP
project costs. As stated above, our past experience at Orangetree may allow the filling of the
lake to be completed for substantially less money than purchasing and hauling material from
offsite allowing the resources to be placed into more exciting elements of BCIRP. We would
propose to fill portions of the lake by excavating below the subsurface rock lens without blasting,
rock hammering or rock removal, but by breaking through a small portion of the rock lens and
undermining the rock lens and allowing the rock to collapse under its own weight. Following the
collapse of the rock lens, the in situ soil can be excavated and placed in the areas where the
lake requires filling. This method was highly successful for the nearby Lake Michigan
excavation and produced several hundred thousand cubic yards of quality material that was
used to fill portions of the lake. Additionally, Lake Michigan is a healthy lake with a large area of
deep water combined with the shallow areas and proper aquatic plantings and sloping.
Environmental
The GradyMinor Team has extensive experience with projects that involve environmentally
sensitive lands. Wetlands, surface waters, endangered and/or threatened species may all be
encountered on the Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park project. Our Team member, Collier
Environmental Consultants, headed by Marco Espinar, has extensive experience with
environmentally sensitive sites, including the BCIRP site. Through permitting and ingenuity
during the design process, most any environmental issues can be resolved. Often the biggest
hurdle is time, due long regulatory review times. As stated above, we propose to conduct pre-
application meetings with regulatory agencies early in the design (30% design stage) to ensure
the project is not delayed due to permitting reviews. Before the pre-application meetings and
preferably soon after a notice to proceed is provided, an environmental survey of the site needs
to be performed to determine what environmental conditions are present. The environmental
survey will look for wetland foliage and habitat, Bald Eagles, Cockaded Woodpeckers, Black
Bears, and Florida Panthers. Additionally, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission’s website
and data base will be reviewed to determine the nearest known endangered or threatened
species.
Wetland Mitigation may be required in accordance with Unified Mitigation Assessment
Methodology (UMAM). Purchased wetland mitigated credits typically come with Panther Habitat
Units (PHU's), which may be a benefit as this project is located in Panther
Secondary Habitat. Also key with this project will be impact to wood stork foraging. A Wood
stork foraging analysis will be required and mitigation for loss of Bio Mass may be required
under the ACOE permit process. This too can be accomplished via mitigation Bank.
GradyMinor will work with Marco Espinar to examine opportunities for the BCIRP to take
advantage of restoration and land acquisition necessitated by mitigation requirements and to
develop strategies so design is compatible with mitigation needs.
Collier County RFP 16-6622 TAB III-15
Permitting
The Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park will require local, state, and federal permitting. Over
the past 34 years of providing professional services in Southwest Florida, GradyMinor has
established an excellent rapport with the local regulatory agencies and their staff. Our
experience and knowledge of their requirements and tendencies can be put to use to prepare
submittals and responses that contain appropriate information and levels of detail that may help
eliminate extensive comments and questions by these agencies.
GradyMinor’s permitting experience on Collier County Park projects is depicted in the table
below:
Maintenance of Facilities
During the design phase, it is critical that the GradyMinor Team designs according to specified
equipment and material that will minimize maintenance effort and costs for County staff. We will
strive to provide facilities that have long lives and require little maintenance as it is our tax
money that will suffer if we do not. Additionally, we have worked with Collier County for over 20
years and we know that we must specify equipment and material that will not result in negative
feelings towards GradyMinor or we will not be working with Collier County for the next 20 years.
Our past experience with Collier County facilities has taught us that County staff prefers Musco
Collier County RFP 16-6622 TAB III-16
Light-Structure Green LED light fixtures due to the minimal maintenance they require and the
extended warrantee they come with. Additionally, we are aware that the County is replacing a
significant amount of metal light poles due to deterioration and corrosion at a significant cost.
Therefore, we would recommend that concrete light poles are specified. Throughout the design
of this project, we will be exceptionally mindful of every component of all facilities to ensure they
have a long life span and require minimal maintenance.
Lighting (Dark Sky)
During the public meetings, the existing dark sky in the vicinity of the proposed BCIRP was a
point of concern. The residents that live in Orangetree live there partially because it is not in a
well lit area of Collier County. They enjoy the dark night skies and they appreciate the animals
and birds that need darkness for hunting, gathering, and hiding. To minimize the harmful effects
of light pollution lighting should only be on when needed; only light the area that needs it; be no
brighter than necessary; minimize blue light emissions (blue light brightens the night sky more
than any other color of light); and be fully shielded (pointing downward). The image below
provides an easy visual guide to understand the differences between bad and good dark sky
lighting.
GradyMinor Team member Tom Hollis, P.E. is very
experienced with the modern requirements to
minimize the harmful effects of light pollution,
specifically on park projects.
Internal and External Connectivity
Internal Connectivity
The BCIRP is planned as a multifaceted park with various passive and active facilities in
relatively close proximity to each other. As such, thought needs to go into the integration and
coordination between different functions and program elements of the park to ensure that the
passive activities are not negatively affected by active activities. Segregating vehicles from
nature trails, picnic pavilions, and relaxation/stargazing areas will help to protect those passive
activities and make them a more enjoyable location.
External Connectivity
Connecting the park to existing public roadways is an obvious element of the design, but one
that can’t be overlooked. Increased traffic near the surrounding communities, Palmetto Ridge
High School, and Corkscrew Elementary School are factors that need to be considered. The
BCIRP does not have frontage on Immokalee Road or Oil Well Road, but is adjacent to Collier
County owner property, notably the Collier County Fairgrounds with access to Immokalee Road.
Access to Oil Well Road through the property previously owned by Bryan Paul was previously
considered. In December 2014 GradyMinor prepared conceptual plans for a public road from
Oil Well Road through Bryan Paul’s property to the BCIRP. However, this option may be
compromised due to the recent sale of a portion of Bryan Paul’s property as the current
proposed development conceptual design does not depict a public road from Oil Well Road to
the BCIRP.
Collier County RFP 16-6622 TAB III-17
In addition to connectivity to nearby major roads, connectivity to the surrounding communities
via sidewalks and bike paths should be considered to encourage travel to the park by means
other than vehicles with focus on opportunities for increased public access to the lake.
Water and Wastewater Utility Service
The BCIRP is currently within the Orangetree Utility service area, however Collier County is
considering the possibility of taking over the Orangetree Utility, decommissioning the
Orangetree treatment facilities and building the Northeast Utility Facility to the north of the
BCIRP, which would require conveyance of flows from the existing Orangetree Utility facilities to
the Northeast Utility Facility. Therefore, coordination is required with the Collier County Water
and Wastewater departments to ensure their existing and future needs are met.
Approach
Our approach will revolve around putting the residents and stakeholders first, while providing a
sound engineered design and exceptional service to Collier County at an economical cost.
Project Management
GradyMinor’s Project Management Policy is anchored around effective communication,
exceptional performance, schedule control, and budget control.
Effective communication between client and consultant is essential to success of a project. We
believe in a proactive approach to starting up a project including extensive due diligence to
realize what the necessary scope will be for a project. This due diligence begins with simple
questions and answers with the client to try to peel back the layers of the project for a more
complete understanding. This initial dialogue then allows the needs of Collier County to be met
and creates a good atmosphere of shared knowledge and understanding. This helps to
eliminate any misconceptions on requirements and it fosters a more open dialogue during the
next phases of design and permitting. The sound communication already established by our
familiarity with County staff, standards and codes, and likes and dislikes will set the ground work
for a successful multi-phase project such as the BCIRP park. Additionally, having Tony Ruberto
as project coordinator/liaison will bring a level of comfort and knowledge to this project that
cannot be matched.
Project performance is what keeps us in business. Our repeat and long term clients and
contracts speak volumes for our project performance. We have become the “go to” firm for
many clients who want to get the job done quickly, effectively, and efficiently. Our engineers are
hands-on designers with an emphasis on problem solving, quality, customer service, and
efficiency.
GradyMinor prides itself on being timely in performance and to maintaining a project schedule.
The development of the schedule will begin in the kick-off meeting with Collier County where the
initial scope of the project is developed. Once this scope is refined and completed, the schedule
will be provided with work order provided to the County. This schedule will highlight critical path
elements and the responsibility of which party. As the project commences and moves forward,
we will have internal Team progress meetings both on an informal and formal basis depending
Collier County RFP 16-6622 TAB III-18
on the stage of the project. These internal meetings will provide the basis for regularly
scheduled progress meetings with Collier County.
GradyMinor believes one of the most important items in a public works project is to assist our
client in developing a realistic initial construction cost estimate for the project. The recent uptick
in the economy has now turned cost analysis into a difficult endeavor, as more contractors
become busier with workload and less willing to try to obtain all work possible. We have taken
the approach to informally discuss pricing with contractors, as allowed by law, to determine
trending in unit prices. This has helped to focus on which items require additional scrutiny for
budgetary purposes. With our experience, we can assist in providing bid alternates that will
allow flexibility without altering the final product.
Building Trust & Keeping Trust
Building public trust and maintaining public communications throughout the project is one of, if
not the most important feature of the Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park project. Folding the
public into the project and the project’s decision process will ensure that the resulting facilities
are treasured by its users. The GradyMinor team is made up of nearly 40 Collier County
employees. As a result, we are part of the public and our personal interest in the park will be
very relatable to the public and will help to break down barriers between consultants and the
public. Mike Delate, P.E., our proposed project manager, attended the December 1, 2015
public meeting for the BCIRP and listened to the questions and input from the residents. The
public showed great passion for the Park and Park elements. Our Team shares in this passion
and we are excited about the opportunity to work with the County and the public to build the
BCIRP.
With a project of this magnitude and attention it may be advantageous to create a Project
Website to provide a single source of information on the project. This website could be a
standalone webpage, a subpage on the County’s website, or a subpage of GradyMinor’s
website. The website would be a very valuable tool to communicate with the public and would
provide information on the project, including the status of the project, project meetings,
schedules, contacts, etc.
An additional avenue to communicate and build trust with the public is via Collier County TV
(Channel 97), which is operated by the County’s Communication and Customer Relations
Division. Collier TV provides the citizens of Collier County information on local government
plans and services, facilities and projects, events and programs. A news segment and/or short
video about the Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park project could be aired that would provide
information on the project, including the project’s status, project meetings, schedules, and
contacts. Additionally, the video could be made available on the project informational website
and the Collier TV’s YouTube page (https://www.youtube.com/user/CollierGov).
Collier County RFP 16-6622 TAB III-19
Technical Approach
Project Kickoff
Following consultant selection for the Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park project, we will meet
with the County’s Project Managers/Staff to review GradyMinor’s draft scope of services and
fee. This includes the review of other consultant’s scopes, work, and schedule to ensure we
fully understand the County’s needs, objectives, schedule and budget.
We will begin work immediately to ensure the project’s schedule is adhered to. We pledge to
communicate regularly with the County; return phone calls and e-mails; attend all project
meetings; work diligently; and provide accurate, economically feasible and constructible plans
and specifications.
Master Planning
A multi-year, multi-phase project needs to be mapped out to assist with schedules, budgets, and
to provide reassurance to the public that this project has been well planned. We understand
that this project will be accomplished over many years and will be based on a Master Plan, once
approved by the Collier County Board of County Commissions. While not specifically identified
in the RFP advertisement, Park Master Planning assistance may be required to assist the
County’s current Master Plan consultant or provide a peer review. As a result we have included
on our team Barth Associates, which is headed by David Barth, PhD, a nationally renowned
Park Planner. If requested by the County, David’s expertise could be utilized to meet broader
community needs for sustainability and resiliency in conjunction with the design of the park
and provide guidance in designing the park as a High Performance Public Space (a space that
generates economic, environmental, and social sustainability benefits for their local community).
Existing Conditions Survey
GradyMinor’s experienced in-house local survey crews will perform a detailed existing condition
and topographic survey of the project site. GradyMinor has existing established control points
along Immokalee Road, Oil Well Road, and Randall Boulevard. We do not need to complete
long benchmark runs to begin acquiring data. Additionally, GradyMinor previously prepared a
boundary of the park site and a bathometric survey for the lake, which Collier Count Real
Property department used in the property ownership transfer. Our previous survey work on the
BCIRP will result in cost savings and schedule efficiencies.
Design
GradyMinor strives to ensure each project has a long lasting positive affect on the community.
GradyMinor will diligently work for and with the County Staff throughout the design phase to
provide the best and the most economical design to satisfy the project requirements and to
provide cost-effective operation and maintenance of the facilities. We encourage input from the
individuals that will own, operate, and maintain a system after it is complete. We feel that input
from staff at all levels can make an enormous difference to the long term satisfaction of a
project. We are very open to listening to staff recommendations and will translate the
recommendation into the project requirements to ensure the County staff receives the products
they wanted.
Collier County RFP 16-6622 TAB III-20
Upon receipt of a notice-to-proceed for the design of a phase of the Big Corkscrew Island
Regional Park, we will meet with the appropriate design team members to develop a schedule
for the design. We proposed to complete the design for each phase of the BCIRP project in
three design stages; 30%, 60%, 90%, and 100% stages.
30% Design
The 30% design will depict the layout of the proposed improvements and facilities, plan view
only. In addition to the design drawings, renderings of the proposed improvements will be
provided for presentation purposed. Once all the data is gathered and 30% design drawings
are drafted, the 30% design drawing will be provided to the County for review and comment
along with an Engineer’s opinion of probable construction cost. At the 30% design level, it is
recommended that pre-application meetings are held with permitting agencies having
jurisdiction over the project, including but not limited to FDEP, SFWMD, and the Fish & Wildlife
Commission; and an informational meeting is conducted with the Commissioner for the District
(District 5) that encompasses the BCIRP (Commissioner Nance).
Following the County’s review, we will conduct a 30% plan review meeting to discuss the plans,
review comments, and ultimately receive the approval to move forward to the next design stage.
Additionally, per the promise made at the public meetings for the BCIRP, the 30% design will be
presented to the public for input.
60% Design
Based upon comments received from Collier County, the public, and the permitting agencies;
GradyMinor will prepare the 60% design and update the renderings. The 60% design drawings
will be provided with plan and profile views and an updated opinion of probable cost. The 60%
design drawings will be submitted to Collier County for review and comments.
Following the County’s review, we will conduct a 60% plan review meeting to discuss the plans,
review comments, and ultimately receive the approval to move forward to the next design stage
90% Design
Based upon comments received from Collier County, the public, and the permitting agencies;
GradyMinor will prepare the 90% design and update the renderings. The 90% design drawings
will be provided with plan and profile views and an updated opinion of probable cost. The 90%
design drawings will be submitted to Collier County water distribution, wastewater collection,
stormwater, transportation, and growth management departments for review and comments.
Following the County’s review, we will conduct a 90% plan review meeting to discuss the plans,
review comments, and ultimately receive the approval to move forward to the next design stage
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
GradyMinor believes that quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) is an essential
component on every project. An experienced set of eyes reviewing a project in detail before it is
put out to bid can improve the constructability of a project while decreasing construction costs
and potential change orders. In addition to QA/QC reviews by one of our seven (7) in-house
Collier County RFP 16-6622 TAB III-21
local Professional Engineers; all projects are reviewed by GradyMinor’s Construction
Engineering and Inspection Group manager Rick Featherstone, G.C. Rick is a licensed General
Contractor with over 35 years of experience in SW Florida. Rick is an invaluable last set of eyes
with a proven track record on Collier County projects. Additionally, Tony Ruberto will be
integrated into the review process to ensure the design fully considers the County’s needs.
100% Design
Upon receipt of any 90% review and permitting comments, GradyMinor will finalize the plans for
bidding and subsequent construction. An engineer’s opinion of probable construction cost will
accompany the 100% Design Submittal.
Following the County’s review, we will conduct a Final Design plan review meeting to discuss
the plans, review any final comments, and ultimately receive the approval to move forward to
the bidding stage.
Permitting
At the 90% design stage, GradyMinor will prepare the required permit applications and
supporting documentation. GradyMinor anticipates the following permits:
A Master Individual Dewatering (40E-2.301 F.A.C.) from the SFWMD. A Dewatering Plan will
be created in support the master dewatering permit.
An Individual Permit Modification to the Orange Tree SFWMD Permit
A Notice of Intent (NOI) to use the Generic Permit for Discharge of Ground Water from
Dewatering Operations, per Rule 62-621.300(2), F.A.C. from the FDEP.
A US Army Corp of Engineers Environmental Resource Permit from the US Army Corp of
Engineers and South Florida Water Management District. The US Army Corp of Engineers
will Public Notice this project, as a result agencies such as US Fish and Wildlife Service will
comment on wildlife concerns/requirements.
An Application for a Specific Permit to Construct PWS Components (form 62-555.900(1))
from the FDEP.
Notification/Application For Constructing A Domestic Wastewater Collection/Transmission
System (form 62-604.330(8)(a)).
Collier County ROW permit for portions of the project that affect County roads.
Opinion of Probable Project Cost
It is important in all projects to provide accurate opinions of probable construction cost
throughout the design phase and at completion of final design. These estimates allow
adjustments to be made to the design to account for established budget. We will utilize a
combination of sources in developing our opinions of probable construction cost. These
sources include previous bids received on similar projects (both our projects and other County
Collier County RFP 16-6622 TAB III-22
projects) and discussions and estimates from independent sources (Contractors,
Manufacturers, etc.).
Bidding Phase
Based on Collier County’s approval to proceed to the bidding phase, GradyMinor will provide
Collier County the Contract Documents in MS Word and/or PDF format (as applicable) for
bidding by the Collier County Purchasing Department. Contract documents will include
drawings, specifications, bid schedules, and any documents pertinent to bidding, such as
geotechnical reports. GradyMinor will assist the County with the following:
Preparing addenda, as required, to interpret, clarify, or expand the Bidding Documents.
Advise the County as to the acceptability of the contractor and subcontractors, suppliers and
other persons and organizations proposed by the Prime Contractor.
Consult with the County concerning and determine the acceptability of substitute material and
equipment proposed by the Contractor when substitution prior to the award of contracts is
allowed by the Bidding Documents.
Attend a pre-bid/quote conference
Attend the bid opening.
Review bids and Contractor qualifications.
Provide a recommendation letter of award.
Construction Administration
Direct and effective communication is critical on all phases of a project; this is especially
important during the construction phase. GradyMinor’s experienced inspectors and engineers
will stay in close communication with the Contractor(s), Collier County staff, County Risk
Management, Neighborhood Association, residents, schools, and businesses.

Project: Proposed Schedule
Date: Tue 6/14/16
Collier County RFP 16-6622 TAB IV-1
Tab IV, Capacity, Availability and Responsiveness
Established in 1981, GradyMinor has been providing a full range of services to the public and private sector for
35 years and. Our staff of nearly 50 includes seven (7) Professional Engineers, a Professional Surveyor and
Mapper, a Certified Planner, two (2) Landscape Architect, eight (8) engineering technicians, Project
Administrators, Engineer Interns, five (5) Survey Crews, and Survey Technicians. We have a mature and
highly qualified team of support staff, who together with our Professionals, can provide all the services required
to successfully complete the Services for RFP 16-6622 (Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park). Our Main Office
located in Bonita Springs is within 20 minutes driving time of the County offices and the project site. We are a
midsized local firm and are capable of very quickly adapting a scope to changes during design, without
affecting the contract cost. A project as dynamic as the Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park will have changes
and the selected design team will have to adapt quickly to keep the project within the budget without negatively
affecting the schedule. The responsiveness and efficiency of our Team will not be matched, especially by a
large national or multinational company.
Our Company and our sub consultants are committed to allocating the necessary manpower and resources to
complete the Big Corkscrew Island Regional Park project on time and within budget. Our current and
anticipated workloads will not affect our ability to serve Collier County.
All of our project managers have company provided smart phones, the numbers for which will be provided to
Collier County. We pledge to communicate regularly with the County; return phone calls and e-mails; be on
time to meetings; work diligently; provide accurate, detailed, and economically feasible and constructible plans
and specifications.
With seven (7) of our local employees being Professional Engineers, eight (8) CAD technicians, and five (5)
survey crews we have a large arsenal of highly talented professionals to work on the Big Corkscrew Island
Regional Park project. We can easily accelerate a project by assigning more professionals. Additionally, the
majority of our professionals have upwards of 15 years of professional experience locally.
Collier County Parks and Recreation and Facilities Management has relied on quick and attentive
responsiveness that GradyMinor has provided through the years. This responsiveness has resulted in a
mutual respect and repeated requests to work on additional projects. GradyMinor has provided low cost and
effective services and have become the “go to” firm because we get the job done, done well, and without
hassle – from concept to site permitting to certification to permit closeout to warranty. All firms submitted to
you can do the work, but we can do it better, faster, and more cost effectively.
