OBJECTIVE: To obtain professional engineering services for the replacement of eleven bridges east of
Immokalee/State Road 29, Bridge numbers: 030136, 030137, 030138, 030139, 030140 and 030141 [CR-
846/Immokalee Road]; 030158 [CR-858/County Line Road]; 030153, 030154, 030155, and 030156 [CR-
858/Oil Well Road].
CONSIDERATIONS: On September 8, 2016, the Collier County Growth Management Department,
through its Transportation Engineering Division, issued RFP No. 16-6699 and requested proposals from
professional engineering consulting firms pre-qualified by the Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) to provide engineering services for this project. One thousand seven hundred twenty -seven
(1,727) notices of the RFP were sent out and one hundred nine (109) were downloaded. Nine (9)
proposals were received on October 11, 2016.
On November 10, 2016, a selection committee ranked the nine (9) firms based on an evaluation of their
proposals. The selection committee by consensus ranked the firms as follows:
Name of Firm Selection Committee Final Rank
HNTB Corporation 1
American Consulting Professionals, LLC 2
Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. 3
CH2M Hill Engineers, Inc. 4
Cardno, Inc. 5
Amec Foster Wheeler 6
Stanley Consultants, Inc. 7
Atkins North America, Inc. 8
ASA Consultants, Inc. 9
The number 2 ranked firm, American Consulting Professionals, LLC filed a protest of the award on
December 19, 2016, which was denied by the Procurement Director. American Consulting subsequently
withdrew their complaint and opted not to appeal the decision to deny their protest. This caused a delay in
the ability to present the award for consideration to the Board.
Staff is now requesting that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) authorize it to begin contract
negotiations with the number one ranked firm, HNTB Corporation, and in the event that an agreement
cannot be reached with that firm, to continue negotiating with the remaining firms in the order ranked
above.
FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of this item does not result in a direct fiscal impact; however, the source of
funding for the future contract (subject to board approval at a subsequent meeting) will be Gas Taxes.
Approval of this item will not have an impact on operational and maintenance costs; however, the

to no maintenance costs are expected to be incurred within the first 5 to 7 years of servic e for the new
bridge and roadway features, and will be absorbed into the regular maintenance schedule thereafter; and

maintenance schedule resulting in minimal cost impact.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: The project is in conformance with the goals and objectives of
the Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality, and requires majority vote
for Board approval.-SRT

RFP No. 16-6699 and direct staff to begin negotiating an agreement with the number one ranked firm,
HNTB Corporation, and in the event that an agreement cannot be reached with this firm, to continue

Board for its consideration at a subsequent meeting.

The County will total each of the Consultant’s five reference questionnaires and

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.

Consultant PQR 250 2.81
Note: Sample chart reflects a 20 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.

Indicate any exceptions to the general terms and conditions of the RFP, and to
insurance requirements or any other requirements listed in the RFP. If no exceptions are

Attn: Evelyn Colon, Procurement Strategist
The County does not bear the responsibility for proposals delivered to the Procurement
Services Division past the stated date and/or time indicated, or to an incorrect address by
Consultant’s personnel or by the Consultant’s outside carrier. However, the Procurement
Director, or designee, reserves the right to accept proposals received after the posted close
time under the following conditions:
The tardy submission of the proposal is due to the following circumstances, which
may include but not be limited to: late delivery by commercial carrier such as Fed Ex,
UPS or courier where delivery was scheduled before the deadline.
The acceptance of said proposal does not afford any competing firm an unfair
advantage in the selection process.
Consultants must submit one (1) paper copy clearly labeled “Master,” and five (5) USB
flash drives or compact disks (CD’s) with one copy of the proposal on each in Word,
Excel or PDF. List the Solicitation Number and Title on the outside of the box or envelope.

writing to the County prior to the time set for the closing of Proposals. All proposals shall be
valid for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days from the submission date to
accommodate evaluation and selection process.
8. Method of Source Selection
The County is using the Competitive Sealed Proposals methodology of source selection for
this procurement, as authorized by Ordinance Number 2013-69 establishing and adopting
the Collier County Procurement Ordinance.
If the County receives proposals from less than three (3) firms, the Procurement Director
shall review all the facts and determine if it is in the best interest of the County to solicit
additional proposals or request that the Selection Committee rank order the received
proposals.
The County may, as it deems necessary, conduct discussions with qualified Consultants
determined to be in contention for being selected for award for the purpose of clarification to
assure full understanding of, and responsiveness to solicitation requirements.

9. Evaluation of Proposals
Collier County will evaluate and select these Services in accordance with Florida Statute 287.055,
Consultants’ Competitive Negotiation Act.
The County’s procedure for selecting is as follows:
1. The County Manager or designee shall appoint a selection committee to review all
proposals submitted.
2. The Request for Proposal is issued.
3. 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.
4. 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
Procurement Services Division Building and on the County’s Procurement Services
Internet site.
5. 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 subsequent meeting dates
and times will be posted with at least one (1) day advanced notice.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. At the conclusion of public comments (provided for in number 7), the selection

The Consultant certifies that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the past and current work on any Collier
County project affiliated with: 16-6699 Eleven Bridge Replacements Project, Project Number 66066.12 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.
Unequal access to information – The firm has not had access to nonpublic information as part of its
performance 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.
In addition to this signed affidavit, the contractor / consultant must provide the following:
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,
2. Indicate if the information produced was obtained as a matter of public record (in the “sunshine”) or
through 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
above 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

WORK PLANSECTION II
PLAN OF APPROACH
HNTB’s approach to this project is to provide the County
with the most cost-effective and time efficient replacement
plans for these 11 deficient bridges. Providing uniform
and consistent details amongst all the bridges will allow
for increased productivity, efficiency and quality for the
contractor and the final product. HNTB has achieved this
on past projects, such as All Aboard Florida in which 32
structures were designed and coordinated for structural
detailing consistency as well as between disciplines.
Resources and Coordination. HNTB offers the substantial
resources of its large design staff with a level of corporate
principal commitment and involvement not found elsewhere
in the industry. Our significant resources will be engaged
and managed very effectively to ensure the right level of
staffing and experience to deliver the most cost-effective
services. HNTB will serve as the lead entity and has long
established working relationships with its subconsultants.
These relationships are founded on mutual trust and respect
developed over years of working together. Each member of
the HNTB team is prequalified by the Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) in their respective disciplines.
Omni Communications, LLC (Omni) will provide utility
coordination and subsurface utility engineering (SUE).
Agnoli, Barber & Brundage, Inc. (ABB) will provide
topographic and control survey, right-of-way mapping and
roadway design support.
Ardaman & Associates, Inc. (Ardaman) will provide
geotechnical services and Level I/Level II contamination
assessments as required.
Archaeological Consultants, Inc. (ACI) will provide
archaeological survey and research.
Our corporate team will work directly with our project
manager, Julian Gutierrez, PE, to ensure he has the resources
necessary to successfully complete the contract.
Julian will be the point of contact for the County and is
familiar with the County’s needs based on his experience as
the design project manager for the Vanderbilt Drive Bridge
Replacement Project. He will manage the tasks undertaken
by HNTB staff as well as the activities of the subconsultants.
We will hold regularly scheduled progress meetings with the
County and our project team.
Technology. HNTB proposes to use the latest technology,
such as ProjectWise and Bluebeam, to enable us to meet
project demands easily. ProjectWise allows us to set-up
one global directory in which all team members, including
subconsultants, will work within the same, up-to-date files.
Bluebeam allows us to perform interdisciplinary reviews which
ensures coordination issues are minimized.
Quality Control (QC). Each of HNTB’s technical discipline
managers will be responsible for the accuracy of their
designs, which will be subject to HNTB’s rigorous QC Plan.
At HNTB, we believe QC is an ongoing process that needs
to be continuously monitored and updated for changing
conditions. We do not believe in waiting for submittals to
perform QC reviews. HNTB’s QC plan is a five-step structured
check and balance system utilizing color-coded checking
and back checking. HNTB’s quality assurance (QA) process
emphasizes prevention of quality problems such as errors or
omissions, and corrects problems early to minimize impacts.
HNTB uses ProjectWise, which allows us to set-up one global directory
accessible by all team members to facilitate information sharing.

HNTB will assign senior, qualified individuals to review each
discipline. Our QC team will verify that all submittals are fully
reviewed and that our QA/QC plan is thoroughly followed.
Our subconsultants will be required to follow all the policies
and procedures set forth by HNTB. HNTB’s corporate officers
will provide guidance on technical issues and will assure that
our Quality Control (QC) Plan is implemented.
Stakeholder Involvement. HNTB will assist the County with
public involvement by coordinating with Connie Deane,
Collier County's Community Liaison, to develop clear and
comprehensive mail out fliers and exhibits for three public
meetings. HNTB staff will attend these meetings to assist the
County in communicating to the public the project schedule,
construction phasing and maintenance of traffic. Considering
the variety of roadway users, we recommend the County
expand on traditional public involvement methods to ensure
opportunities for dissemination of project information and in
multiple languages. Major stakeholders include the nearby City
of Immokalee, Immokalee Regional Airport, casino employees,
the agricultural community, local business owners, area
residents and elected/appointed officials. We will assist the
County in maintaining close coordination with these groups.
Other outreach suggestions include leveraging social media
outlets to engage users, posting project information on fliers
in local businesses; distributing project information through
local and regional visitor bureaus and chambers of commerce;
meeting with the interested groups and conducting virtual
public meetings. Our public engagement work across Florida’s
west coast uniquely situates our team with strong relationships
and a history of consensus building and trust with the area’s
elected and appointed officials; staff from city, county and
state agencies; business leaders and citizens.
UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROJECT
The 11 bridges are primarily located on rural collectors in the
northern part of Collier County between SR 29 and Hendry
County. There are four bridges along CR 858/Oil Well Road,
one bridge on CR 858/County Line Road and six bridges
along CR 846/Immokalee Road. Oil Well Road and Immokalee
Road are both east-west corridors within the project limits,
while County Line Road is a north-south roadway connecting
the two roads along the border with Hendry County (see
Figure 1). The four bridges along Oil Well Road are all
within one mile of each other and are bounded by a sharp
horizontal curve to the west and a private driveway to the
east. The single bridge on County Line Road is approximately
2.4 miles south of the intersection with Immokalee Road
and is showing significant signs of deterioration. The six
bridges along Immokalee Road see the most traffic as
Immokalee Road is the main connector between Hendry and
Collier counties in this area. Three of these six bridges are
considered scour critical.
Each of the 11 bridges carries two-lane, two-way traffic with
approximately 24 feet of clear roadway width over drainage
canals. The traffic barriers vary from guardrails mounted on
concrete posts to concrete post-and-rail traffic railings with
guardrail retrofit (see Figure 2).
Figure 2: Existing Bridge Typical Sections
All 11 bridges were built between 1948 and 1953 and consist of
simply supported cast-in-place concrete slab superstructures
supported by timber piling with concrete caps. The overall
lengths for these structures vary; however, all the bridges
consist of approximately 15-foot spans with the number of
spans dictating the overall bridge length. A summary of the
bridges and their span configurations is provided in Table 1.

Figure 3: Vehicular Usage
While the superstructures are in good condition, these bridges
are nearing the end of their service life due to the rapid decay
of the timber piling.
Based on two separate field reviews performed on July 28 and
September 23, 2016, as well as a review of bridge data (as-built
plans, inspection reports, inventory data, etc.), a number of
factors were observed that may have potential impacts on the
proposed bridges and maintenance of traffic alternatives and
will be taken into consideration. The conditions surrounding
the bridge structures were generally very wet and, in some
cases, overgrown making substructure visual assessment
difficult at some locations at this time. However, this
information is valuable when determining the future bridge
profile to ensure adequate vertical clearance over design high
water is provided for improved waterway performance. In
addition, a number of cross drains are located along all three
roads in the project corridor, and a few are relatively close to
the bridge structures particularly along Oil Well Road.
There are also several driveways, both commercial and
residential, along the project corridor. As a result, there is
a variety of vehicular use ranging from school buses and
emergency vehicles to heavy trucks and oversized farming
equipment (see Figure 3).
Along Oil Well Road, there appears to be four residential
driveways to the east of the four bridges. The closest is less
than 150 feet east of bridge number 030156. There also
appears to be a driveway providing access to an agricultural
field only about 75 feet west of this same bridge. This is the
only driveway identified within the confines of the four bridges
along Oil Well Road. To the north of Oil Well Road, signage
indicates private property as well as a conservation easement
boundary line. Near the intersection of Oil Well Road and
County Line Road, there is a privately-owned tactical training
facility (see Figure 4), which includes an aviation operations
facility. It appears that all of the driveways and cross roads
along County Line Road are for commercial agricultural access
to fields and farming facilities. The same is generally true of
the access roads along Immokalee Road east of bridge number
030138. However, west of bridge number 030138, there are
also a number of residences that connect to Immokalee Road.
Bridge number 030136 is in the most urban area of all the
bridges as it is located near a number of commercial facilities
as well as the Immokalee Regional Airport (see Figure 5).
Given the proximity of the bridge to the airport, our team
will coordinate with the airport and the Federal Aviation
Administratin (FAA) on air space restrictions to ensure the plan
notes restrict the contractor from utilizing equipment that will
encroach into the glide path for the airport.
Figure 4 (left): Tactical Training Facility
Figure 5 (right): Entrance to Immokalee Regional Airport
Field reviews also identified a number of utilities along the
project corridor (See Figure 6 on the following page). Along
Oil Well Road, there are conduits attached to the bridges
as well as buried fiber optic and overhead electric utilities.
Other than the overhead electric, there were no obvious
signs of utilities near the bridge on County Line Road, but
additional coordination will be performed for verification.
Along Immokalee Road, no utilities were observed attached
to the bridges although overhead electric was observed

adjacent to bridges 030136 and 030137, and buried cable is
typical along the corridor. Near Immokalee, additional utilities
are anticipated, including a water main near bridge number
030136 as there is a fire hydrant between the bridge and the
nearby driveway at the southwest corner of the bridge.
Figure 6: Utilities
There are two bridges along Immokalee Road that have
unique characteristics as compared to the others (see Figure
7). The second bridge east of SR 29 on Immokalee Road,
bridge number 030137, has recently undergone an emergency
rehabilitation to install steel crutch bents to stabilize the
structure and allow it to carry traffic. Further to the east is
bridge number 030139, which is the fourth bridge east of SR
29 along Immokalee Road. This bridge is approximately one-
quarter mile from the City Gate Wildlife Crossing constructed
in 2012 and is bounded by chain link fencing along both bridge
copings. This fencing will have to be incorporated in the
proposed bridge design to ensure that wildlife continues to use
the provided crossings without entering the roadway.
Figure 7: Steel Crutch Bents at Bridge 030137 (left) and wildlife
fencing along bridge 030139 (right)
PROPOSED STRUCTURES | For the proposed structures,
we recommend providing two 12-foot lanes with 8-foot
shoulders; however, the bridge near Immokalee Regional
Airport will require an additional center turn lane and
sidewalks (Figure 8 on page 11).
The incorporation of accelerated bridge construction (ABC)
techniques, which encompass any method of design or
construction that results in a reduced project timeline as
compared to traditional cast-in-place methods, will be analyzed
to determine what materials, structural components and
construction methods will be most beneficial for these bridge
replacements. For example, precast elements eliminate the
need for concrete formwork, thereby increasing the speed of
construction and providing better quality control resulting from
the production of elements in a controlled environment. These
bridges are a good application for the new Florida Slab Beams
(Index D20450) with cast-in-place topping (see Figure 9).
These new slab beams provide for a shear key which reduces
the likelihood of cracking between units. Shrinkage-reducing
admixtures are utilized in the cast-in-place topping which also
helps minimize cracking. These beams can span over 60 feet
which will allow the flexibility to use single span structures or
avoid existing piles with the new bent locations, which is critical
as driven piles are difficult to fully extract and can conflict with
the installation of new piles.
A preliminary assessment of geotechnical conditions suggests
that the soil profile will likely consist of mostly sandy soil with
an intermediate clay layer. Based on geotechnical knowledge
of the surrounding area, there may be a limestone ledge
roughly 20 to 30 feet below the surface followed by a 20-
foot clay layer. The primary bearing stratum will most likely
consist of a sandstone layer at approximately 60 to 70 feet
below the surface. Given this information, the unknown timber
foundations are estimated to tip approximately 30 feet below
the surface. Additionally, a slightly to moderately aggressive
environment is expected in the project area due to the
underlying limestone bed.

The initial hard capstone layer will likely require any proposed
precast concrete piles to be preformed or predrilled through the
first 20 feet of soil. Driving concrete piles in these conditions
may cause a soil heave and disturb the existing timber piles,
which could, in turn, cause the existing bridge structure to shift.
This could result in further instability in an already questionable
structure. In order to prevent this type of movement, a low-
displacement pile, such as a steel H-pile, may help reduce the
impact on the existing foundation. The advantage of using steel
H-piles is not only to prevent disruption to the existing structure
but pile driving efforts should also be easier as preforming/
predrilling will likely not be required to get through the initial
dense capstone layer.
Since the environmental classification is unlikely to be extreme,
the use of steel piles is feasible. However, to further mitigate
any concerns about the use of steel piles, additional measures
can be taken to meet a 75-year design life. Steel H-piles can be
designed to include a sacrificial thickness, coated with a coal
tar epoxy or encased in concrete upon installation to prevent
corrosion. Corrosion of steel piles is most likely to occur in the
wet-dry cycle zone. Providing coal tar epoxy or encasing in
concrete to a specified depth below the mud line will provide
sufficient protection to the pile. Also, encasing the piles during
initial construction not only provides the appearance of
concrete piles, but also protects them from corrosion before it
can begin. One or more of these measures can be implemented
to make this an effective solution. An additional benefit is that

at the abutments, these piles can be used in conjunction with
steel sheet piles to create a combi-wall system. The combi-wall
is a cost-effective and easily installed system which speeds
construction. This will allow a minimized footprint of the bridge,
and therefore, minimize impacts to the wetlands (see Figure 10).

Independent Wall System
MAINTENANCE OF TRAFFIC | Our team understands the need
to maintain traffic while providing a safe work zone not only
for the workers, but also for the motorists that utilize the 11
bridges along Immokalee Road, County Line Road and Oil
Well Road. Based on our preliminary review, there are three
potential temporary traffic control options that could be
utilized for these bridges: 1) total road closure with off-site
detour; 2) phased bridge construction; or 3) the use of a
temporary diversion running parallel to the permanent bridge.
Off-Site Detour
The first option we will consider for each location is a total road
closure while utilizing an off-site detour to maintain traffic.
This option will provide the quickest construction time and
the most cos-efficient design as no temporary structures or
pavement would be necessary. In addition, it would only involve
one construction phase so the contractor would not need to
spend time in-between construction phases setting up the next
temporary traffic scheme. The main drawback to this option is
the shortest detour route utilizing Oil Well Road, County Line
Road, Immokalee Road and SR 29 is approximately 30 miles
long which would greatly increase travel times for users of
each bridge. In addition, a total road closure would not provide
any access for emergency vehicles so they would be subject
to the same detour. This potential road closure and detour
will need to be vetted with Collier County, the public via a
public workshop and emergency services such as police and
fire rescue prior to incorporation in the final design. The one
bridge where this option appears viable is bridge 030158 along
County Line Road as it is near the midpoint of the detour route.
Phased Construction
If a total bridge closure is found to not be feasible after
coordination with the County, the public and Emergency
Services, the next construction scheme that will be considered
is phased construction. In this scenario, the new bridge will be
completed during two separate phases of construction.
During Phase I, the roadway will need to be reduced to one
lane and a temporary signal will be needed at each end of the
bridge for the one-lane operation (see Figure 11). Once traffic
is shifted to the one-lane configuration, half of the existing
Figure 8: Proposed Bridge Typical Sections
Figure 11: Single lane MOT with temporary traffic signals.
Eleven Bridge Replacements Project | Project Number 66066.12
Collier County Government | CCNA Solicitation 16-6699
12
bridge deck will be demolished. Even though half of the bridge
deck is being removed, the entire existing bridge pier support
system will be left in place to ensure the structural integrity
of the existing bridge that is still carrying traffic is not
compromised. This can be accomplished by setting the profile
of the proposed bridge approximately 6 inches higher than the
existing profile, allowing the proposed structure to not come
in contact with the existing structure. Also, the new bridge
pier support system spacing will be designed and constructed
so that it is not in conflict with the existing bridge pier support
system. Lastly, the first portion of the proposed bridge deck
will also be constructed during this phase.
During Phase II, the one lane of traffic will be shifted to the
portion of the new bridge that was constructed during Phase I.
The remaining portion of the existing bridge will then be
demolished and the new bridge structure will be completed.
Once the bridge structure is completed, traffic can return to the
normal two lane configuration. Figure 12, on the following page,
highlights this phased construction approach.
Phased construction will allow access through the
construction site at all times and the construction cost will
only be slightly more than the total closure, mainly due to
the need for additional maintenance of traffic efforts. This
scheme will also take longer than the total closure due to the
maintenance of traffic efforts and lane shifting that will be
necessary in between phases. This option will allow access for
emergency services at all times. This method of construction
has been successfully deployed by members of our team on
similar County roadways.
Temporary Diversion
If it is decided that two lanes must be maintained at all times,
then a temporary diversion will be required (see Figure 13). A
temporary diversion involves the use of a temporary bridge
structure, temporary pavement and temporary retaining
walls in order to divert traffic around the existing bridge
in order to demolish the existing bridge and construct the
proposed bridge. This method is similar to what is shown in
FDOT Standard Index 608. This can be accomplished either
with a temporary Acrow bridge as shown in FDOT Standard
Index 21600, or the superstructure of the existing bridge
can be placed onto temporary piles adjacent to the existing
bridge. If the existing bridge superstructure were to be
utilized, the relocation of the existing bridge deck would need
to be accomplished over a nighttime or weekend total bridge
closure and detour.
A temporary diversion would cause the least impact to the
public; however the cost of the project would increase due to
the need to construct roadway approaches (including walls, fill
and pavement) to access the temporary bridge parallel to the
existing bridge. This will add time to the construction process
due to the extra activities necessary to build and remove
the temporary diversion. In addition the extra earthwork
necessary to construct the approaches to the temporary
bridge will cause environmental and drainage impacts to the
existing ditches adjacent to the roadway. These environmental
and drainage impacts especially ring true for all of the bridges
along Oil Well Road and bridges 030139 and 030141 along
Immokalee Road.
Each potential solution presents its pros and cons and,
during the design process, we will utilize public workshops,
coordination with County staff, cost-benefit ratios and
engineering judgment to determine the best option for the
reconstruction of each bridge. Not only will we determine the
best solution for each bridge location independently, but we
will analyze the “big picture” and prescribe the order in which
the bridges will be constructed to cause the least impact to the
public.
DRAINAGE | The 11 bridges are located in either the
Okaloacoochee Slough Basin or the Barron River Canal
Basin (North). Both basins are impaired for dissolved
oxygen. As long as the projects qualify for a South Florida
Water Management District (SFWMD) Exemption or General
Permit, formal water quality and water quantity will not be
required. The bridges are located in the 100-year floodplain
and floodplain impacts will be estimated. Bridges 030136,
030139 and 030140 have been identified as scour critical. The
concrete slurry along the channel bottom for bridge 030136,
is undermined up to 12 inches along the south side. We will
evaluate the channel bottom to determine the cause of the
current condition and incorporate scour countermeasure into
the new bridge design. For bridge 030139, the abutments
have had some scour countermeasures in place; however,
the slope of the embankment appears steeper than 1:2. We
would take this under consideration when designing for a
scour countermeasure and setting an overall bridge length.
Aggradation at bridge 030140 has caused the channel depth
to decrease significantly since the original inspection date. The

channel will be evaluated and perhaps altered. In order to
select the most appropriate scour countermeasure for each
bridge, we will prepare a Bridge Hydraulics Report, including
scour analysis to determine the 100-year and 500-year
scour elevations. Along the project, there are several cross
drains (see Figure 14). During design, the condition of these
cross drains and their effect on the overall bridge hydraulics
can be evaluated to determine if desilting or replacement is
warranted as part of the bridge replacement.
Figure 14: Cross Drain
ENVIRONMENTAL | The habitat surrounding the 11 bridges
primarily consists of herbaceous wetland/surface water
systems which are dominated by hydrophytic vegetation
and contain seasonal inundation. The jurisdictional wetland/
surface water boundaries of these systems will be delineated
in accordance with state and federal guidelines. The bridges
will be designed to avoid and minimize wetland impacts
to the greatest extent possible; however, if impacts result
from the proposed improvements, coordination with the
SFWMD and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) will be
conducted. The 11 bridges are located within the service area
of three mitigation banks with available wetland mitigation
credits, should impacts be unavoidable: Panther Island,
Panther Island Expansion and Big Cypress Mitigation Banks.
The greatest issue with wetland/surface water impacts
is effects to wildlife habitats used by protected species.
Protected species habitats are located within the limits of
the proposed improvements, including habitats for the bald
eagle, Florida black bear and wood stork. The project is also
located within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
consultation area for federally protected species, such as
the Florida panther, Everglades snail kite, Florida scrub jay
and Audubon’s crested caracara. In addition to being located
within the USFWS Consultation Area for the Florida panther,
the bridges are also located within the primary zone for the
Florida panther, which is defined as lands that are essential
for the survival of the Florida panther in the wild and affords
the species the highest conservation value. Close coordination
with the USFWS and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission (FFWCC) will be initiated early in the design
process and throughout the project to ensure protected
species are accounted for during the design and permitting
process.
Numerous panther mortalities have been documented along
Immokalee Road and County Line Road, as recent as 2014.
Approximately 3/4 of a mile of wildlife fencing is located along
Immokalee Road in the vicinity of bridge 030139. Additionally
a wildlife crossing (bridge 034827) is located approximately
1300-feet west of bridge 030139. Several field reviews were
conducted and the wildlife crossing has been consistently
inundated (see Figure 15). HNTB will evaluate the option of
providing a "dry shelf" along the embankment of bridge
030139 to allow wildlife movement at this location (see Figure
16).
Figure 15: Wildlife Crossing
Figure 16: Wildlife Crossing Addition
We will also coordinate with the County to determine if
additional wildlife crossings, fencing or roadside animal
detection systems are warranted in other locations along
the project corridor on Immokalee Road, County Line Road
and/or Oil Well Road to reduce wildlife-vehicle collisions to
improve safety for both motorists and wildlife.
TIME LINE FOR COMPLETION OF THE
PROJECT
The overall project timeline is estimated to be 54 months,
with a total design effort spanning 24 months. Survey and
geotechnical work will start the design process and are
expected to last approximately 13 months based on the
number of soil borings and data collection and processing
required for the 11 bridge sites. Design and permitting is
expected to begin shortly after preliminary survey and
geotechnical information is available and is expected to take
22 months. Construction of the 11 bridges is expected to take
approximately 30 months based on the number of project
sites; however, this may vary depending on the contractor’s
approach to the project and the number of crews available
for simultaneous construction at different locations.

In order to provide Collier County with a cost-effective and
efficient solution for the replacement of all 11 bridges, the
proposed bridges will be designed to incorporate efficiencies
of scale for both design and construction. By creating a
unified typical section and phased construction approach
as well as optimizing span lengths, similar design elements
can be incorporated amongst all the bridges, which will also
increase the efficiency of manufacturing and construction.
For example, the use of steel H-piles will streamline pile-
driving efforts as predrilling will likely not be required, and
the splicing of steel piles is more easily done in the field as
compared to concrete piles. The use of prestressed Florida
Slab Beams (FSB) will also save time and construction cost
by eliminating the need for additional formwork for a cast-
in-place deck. The FSBs can be detailed so that similar
beam widths and lengths can be used at multiple bridge
locations making the manufacturing process less costly and
construction more efficient with a repetitious design.
RISKS AND PLANS FOR OVERCOMING RISKS
During construction the biggest risk is the possible failure
of a deteriorated timber pile bent. Failure of a timber pile
bent could occur due to on-going deterioration of the
compromised piles or due to construction activities. The
advantage of utilizing low displacement piles, such as steel
H-Piles, would be to minimize this risk of a failure due to
construction activities, but the added benefit is that the
contractor will have additional piling at the site to use as an
emergency crutch bent repair similar to what was done on
Bridge 030137. Wildlife is another risk that will have to be
monitored. By maintaining the wildlife fencing during each
phase of construction this risk will be minimized.
There are several design risks that exist on a job of this
magnitude. For example, the risk of not coordinating plans
and details, or not obtaining all the required permits during
the design phase. In an attempt to reduce permitting
time frames, we will coordinate early and frequently with
permitting agencies to ensure there are no permitting
pitfalls. Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act (ESA)
requires that for actions authorized, funded or carried out
by a federal agency (i.e. obtaining a permit from the USACE),
consultation with USFWS and/or National Marine Fisheries
Service (NMFS), ensure that the proposed project will not
jeopardize the continued existence of any endangered or
threatened species or result in the destruction or adverse
modification of the critical habitat of the endangered or
threatened species. Therefore, before any activity can be
authorized by the USACE under Section 404 of the Clean
Water Act or Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of
1899, we must ensure that the project is in compliance with
ESA. Early coordination with the USACE and USFWS is key
to ensuring that all permit requirements are understood and
being met early in project design.

UNIQUE BENEFITS OF PARTNERING WITH
THE HNTB TEAM
EXPERIENCE WITH MULTIPLE BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROGRAMS
Supporting Missouri’s Safe and Sound Bridge program,
HNTB delivered the replacement of 554 bridges two
years ahead of schedule. Key to this accomplishment was
taking the predominantly rural bridges’ distinct designs
and standardizing them in 10-degree skew increments up
to a 40-degree skew, in five-foot increments, rather than
designing each span individually. The team leveraged
the use of precast, prestressed members to expedite the
construction schedule.
Building upon the lessons learned from the Safe and Sound
program, we will employ similar techniques to these 11
bridges. Standardizing components such as span length,
bent cap dimensions, pile size and capacity, will allow the
contractor to efficiently mobilize equipment so construction
activities can commence in an accelerated fashion. For
instance, by sizing piles for similar capacities as opposed
to similar spacing, single pile driving installation criteria
(hammer energy, pile cushion, etc.) can be deployed and
installation crews will be familiar with the requirements
as they move from one location to the other, reducing the
potential for errors during construction. By standardizing
the precast elements (such as precast, prestressed slab
units), the contractor will be able to stockpile materials
and reduce fabrication or delivery risk of delays. The use
of structural steel pipe or h-piles will allow the contractor
to order standard lengths and splice them according to the
site-specific requirements. This standardization greatly
reduces the schedule as the need to order piles based on
the results of the test pile program is eliminated through
the use of the cost-efficient full capacity splices achievable
with steel piles.
Through coordination with County staff, as well as public
outreach, we will assist you in developing the construction
schedule and sequencing of the bridge replacements that
minimizes impact to the road users. Based on the chosen
replacement scheme as described in Tab 2, we will focus
on staging of the bridges, whether this includes all bridges
along a corridor concurrently or single sites, our team of
experts will provide insight to maximize the efficiency of
this replacement program.
CONSTRUCTION AND VALUE ENGINEERING SERVICES
In addition to design reviews that will be performed by
our leadership and technical team, HNTB has construction
engineering and inspection (CEI) staff and former
contractors who will assist in reviewing plans for clarity,
constructability and risk allocation, as well as value
engineering opportunities. We have the ability to leverage
this team in development of construction cost estimates
and schedules, bringing independent validation. This team
is used extensively on programs such as this to establish
baseline cost estimates and construction schedules as well
as payout curves, allowing you to allocate funding resources
effectively and deliver your projects on schedule and within
budget. Additionally, the staff resources are familiar with
the constraints often associated with rural off-system
bridges and will provide opportunities to further reduce the
overall construction duration and cost.
TEAM EXPERIENCE

within the state of Florida, more than sufficient to deliver
these bridge replacement designs. This staff brings a range
of experience from box culvert and short span structures
to long span complex and movable bridge design. While
these bridges are low-level, short-span water crossings,
the experience with major structures provides the depth
of knowledge that is often times lacking in decision making
by those who specialize only in miscellaneous and off-
system bridges. By leveraging our staff experience, we will
provide thorough, efficient analysis of potential solutions to
this program, and bring value added best practices to the
delivery of this critical project.
In addition, HNTB has sufficient resources in the necessary
discipline areas to address peak periods of need while
keeping quality staff available to assist with plans review,
scoping and miscellaneous support efforts. Finally,
HNTB, as the prime consultant, offers the full breadth of
professional services required under this contract and can
step to support or complement any of our team members
should the need arise based on unforeseen circumstances.
This in-house depth of experience allows for independent
quality assessment and coordination of all disciplines,
further increasing the value the HNTB presents to Collier
County in deploying resources that will provide 4for4
service on this project.
PROGRAM/PROJECT MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCE
HNTB has provided continuous GEC services to nearly 20
clients, some for more than 40 years, in more than 30
states—a testament of our abilities to serve, respond and
innovate for our clients. Drawing on our current FDOT
GEC experience, as well as decades long GEC contracts
around the nation, we will provide best practices and
lessons learned. Specifically related to this project, our GEC
services to toll clients illustrates our understanding of the
need to provide cost effective solutions that maximize the
benefit-cost ratio and accurately evaluate life cycle costs
in evaluation of alternatives for high maintenance items,
such as bridges that are nearing the end of service and are
experience rapid deterioration and increased maintenance
needs. As toll clients are susceptible to bond ratings
performance, it is imperative that their facilities retain high
ratings based on the condition of the infrastructure. HNTB
supports these clients in the routine evaluation, strategic
planning, work programming and delivery of projects
necessary to maintain a facility that operates efficiently
and we will bring this experience to you on this project to
enable you to make assessments of alternatives based on
quantifiable criteria.
In addition, through our role as GEC, we are actively
engaged in the initial evaluations, scope development,
scheduling and cost estimating for rural arterial bridge
replacements. Through these efforts, our team members
are uniquely aware of the criteria that drive the successful
outcome of these projects and factor them into these areas
accordingly, allowing for the clear definition of the project
from the onset. In addition, we serve as technical reviewers
of consultant-prepared construction documents and remain
thoroughly aware of the latest technical criteria that
drive efficient, effective and safe design decisions in the
preparation of bridge replacement construction documents.
