1. INTRODUCTION
As requested by the Growth Management Division (hereinafter, the “Division”), the Collier County Board of County
Commissioners Procurement Services Division (hereinafter, “County”) has issued this Request for Professional Services
(hereinafter, “RPS”) with the intent of obtaining proposals from interested and qualified Design Build Firms/Partnerships 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 County is interested in receiving proposals from experienced design-build teams for the design and construction of
improvements to widen Golden Gate Boulevard.
2. BACKGROUND
The purpose of this background is to describe the scope of work and the responsibilities of the Design-Build (DB) firm in
connection with the preparation of a Request for Proposal package for the design and preparation of a complete set of construction
plans and special provisions, if necessary, for:
• Roadway improvements to the transportation facility described herein, and the
• Bridge/structural improvements for the structure identified herein.
In December of 2008, a design was completed for the 6-lane widening of Golden Gate Boulevard (CR 876) from Wilson Boulevard
to DeSoto Boulevard. Due to budget constraints and long range transportation needs projections, the County determined that
Golden Gate Boulevard would only need four lanes. It was further determined that Transportation Engineering (TE) Department
would pursue a redesign of the project to four lanes in a four-lane right-of-way section. The redesign would be taken to 60% plans
and all permits (except for Southwest Florida Water Management District Big Cypress Basin (BCB) permitting) would be obtained
so that the County may, at a future date, pursue final design plans, or construct the project as a Design-Build, when construction
funding becomes available. By March 2010, the 60% redesign was completed.
The original design and subsequent 4-lane 60% re-design included the replacement of three bridges: 1) the Golden Gate Main Canal
(Bridge #034026), 2) Miller Canal (Bridge #034028), and 3) the Faka Union Canal (Bridge #034030). Bridges No. 034026 and
034028 have since been reconstructed with a previous construction project. This project also included the preliminary design (4-
lane) of the two bridges which shall be used for this DB project. This new project is for the 4-lane widening of Golden Gate
Boulevard from West of 20th Street East to East of Everglades Boulevard, including the bridge over Miller Canal (Bridge #034028)
and the drainage system to the Faka Union Canal. The project begins at the beginning of the four/two-lane transition West of 20th
St. The project terminus is the Everglades Boulevard intersection, including all required tapers East of the intersection, which shall
comply with the latest FDOT Specifications and MUTCD manual requirements. FDOT standard tapers East of the intersection are
included, as well as drainage system into the Faka Union Canal.
All the right-of-way, from West of 20th Street East to East of Everglades Boulevard has been acquired by Collier County.
Acquisition of the remaining portion needed for drainage construction East of Everglades Boulevard to the Faka Union Canal is
scheduled (but not guaranteed) to be completed by December 31st, 2017. A Notice to Proceed (NTP) shall not be granted to the DB
firm until after all right-of-way has been acquired.
3. REQUEST FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES (RPS) DESIGN BUILD PROCESS
3.1 The selection process will involve a two step proposal review to minimize Proposers’ costs in preparing initial

17-7159 Design-Build of the Golden Gate Boulevard 4-Lane Road Project 4
qualification proposals and expediting the review process. The Proposers will initially submit a qualifications proposal (in
response to this RPS - Initial Qualifications Submittal) based on the criteria in Section 4.0 Grading Criteria for
Development of Shortlist, which will be the basis for short-listing no less than three (3) firms.
The COUNTY will then issue a RPS - Step 2 to the shortlisted firms, which will include the Design Criteria Package, after
which time the short-listed firms will submit final technical and pricing proposals and be invited for oral presentations. In
Step 2 of the RPS, the COUNTY will invite the short-listed firms to propose a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and a
guaranteed schedule, based on the Design Criteria Package and other contract documents. The GMP must include all
design and construction costs. A Proposal Bond will be required during Step 2. Also, during Step 2 of the RPS process,
other information, including but not limited to clarifying questions or interviews, may be requested and evaluated.
The Proposers will need to meet the minimum requirements outlined in order for their proposal to be evaluated and scored
by the COUNTY. The COUNTY will then produce a final ranking for approval by the Board of County Commissioners.
Upon approval, the County will enter into negotiations with the top ranked firm. With successful negotiations, a contract
will be developed with the selected firm, based on the GMP and technical components.
3.2 The COUNTY will use a Selection Committee in the RPS selection process.
3.3 The intent of the Step 1, scoring of the qualifications proposal, is for consultants to indicate their interest, relevant
experience, financial capability, staffing and organizational structure.
3.4 Based upon a review of these qualification proposals, the top three (3) short-listed firms will be requested to submit Step 2,
and to make oral presentations.
3.5 The scores from the RPS - Step 1 used for short-listing for this Project will not be carried forward for the Step 2 of this
selection process.
3.6 The intent of the Step 2 is submit final technical and pricing proposals and to provide the firms with a venue where they
can conduct discussions with the Selection Committee to clarify questions and concerns before providing a final ranking.
3.7 If, in the sole judgment of the COUNTY, a contract cannot be successfully negotiated with the top-ranked firm,
negotiations with that firm will be formally terminated and negotiations shall begin with the firm ranked second. If a
contract cannot be successfully negotiated with the firm ranked second, negotiations with that firm will be formally
terminated and negotiations shall begin with the third ranked firm, and so on. The COUNTY reserves the right to
negotiate any element of the proposals in the best interest of the COUNTY.

DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION CRITERIA PACKAGE
REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS
DESIGN-BUILD SERVICES FOR
17-7159 DESIGN-BUILD OF THE GOLDEN GATE BOULEVARD 4-LANE ROAD PROJECT.
PROJECT INFORMATION
A. Introduction
The purpose of this Exhibit is to describe the scope of work and the responsibilities of the Design-Build
(DB) firm in connection with the preparation of a Request for Proposal package for the design and
preparation of a complete set of construction plans and special provisions, if necessary, for:
Roadway improvements to the transportation facility described herein, and the
Bridge/structural improvements for the structure identified herein.
In December of 2008, a design was completed for the 6-lane widening of Golden Gate Boulevard (CR
876) from Wilson Boulevard to DeSoto Boulevard. Due to budget constraints and long range
transportation needs projections, the County determined that Golden Gate Boulevard would only need
four lanes. It was further determined that Transportation Engineering (TE) Department would pursue a
redesign of the project to four lanes in a four-lane right-of-way section. The redesign would be taken to
60% plans and all permits (except for Southwest Florida Water Management District Big Cypress Basin
(BCB) permitting) would be obtained so that the County may, at a future date, pursue final design plans,
or construct the project as a Design-Build, when construction funding becomes available. By March 2010,
the 60% redesign was completed.
The original design and subsequent 4-lane 60% re-design included the replacement of three bridges: 1)
the Golden Gate Main Canal (Bridge #034026), 2) Miller Canal (Bridge #034028), and 3) the Faka Union
Canal (Bridge #034030). Bridges No. 034026 and 034028 have since been reconstructed with a previous
construction project. This project also included the preliminary design (4-lane) of the two bridges which
shall be used for this DB project. This new project is for the 4-lane widening of Golden Gate Boulevard
from West of 20th Street East to East of Everglades Boulevard, including the bridge over Miller Canal
(Bridge #034028) and the drainage system to the Faka Union Canal. The project begins at the beginning
of the four/two-lane transition West of 20th St. The project terminus is the Everglades Boulevard
intersection, including all required tapers East of the intersection, which shall comply with the latest
FDOT Specifications and MUTCD manual requirements. FDOT standard tapers East of the intersection
are included, as well as drainage system into the Faka Union Canal.
All the right-of-way, from West of 20th Street East to East of Everglades Boulevard has been acquired by
Collier County. Acquisition of the remaining portion needed for drainage construction East of Everglades
Boulevard to the Faka Union Canal is scheduled (but not guaranteed) to be completed by December 31st,
2017. A Notice to Proceed (NTP) shall not be granted to the DB firm until after all right-of-way has been
acquired.
B. Purpose
16.A.16.d

INTRODUCTION
Through the issuance of this Request for Professional Services – Step 2 (RPS – Step 2), the Growth Management Division
(hereinafter, the “Division”), the Collier County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services Division (hereinafter,
“County”) is hereby soliciting sealed Technical Proposals, Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), and Presentations for a contract to
perform Design-Build Golden Gate Boulevard 4-Lane, from West of 20th Street East to East of Everglades Boulevard, including
drainage to the Faka Union Canal Project.
The issuance of this RPS - Step 2 is the second step in a two-step solicitation process for the Project. By utilizing a Design-Build
(D-B) project delivery approach, the County expects to secure substantial benefits. These expected benefits include timely and
efficient scheduling, optimal risk allocation, competitive design selection, innovation, clear assignment of performance
responsibilities to a single contracting entity, long-term reliability, and life-cycle cost savings. Another expected benefit is the full
integration of key design, construction, and quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) personnel in all aspects of the Project.
The intent in developing this RPS - Step 2 is to encourage the Proposers to provide the best solution for the Project, consistent with
the Project goals and requirements as defined. Proposers should carefully review this RPS - Step 2 to ensure a clear understanding
of the Project’s needs, objectives, work scope, and requirements.
Only the shortlisted firms from the Step 1 process are eligible to respond and those firms are listed below:
Ajax Paving Industries of Florida, LLC/Stantec Consulting Services, Inc.
Owen-Ames-Kimball Company/Hole Montes, Inc.
Wright Construction/Agnoli Barber & Brundage, Inc./Bridging Solutions/HighSpans Engineering, Inc.
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this background is to describe the scope of work and the responsibilities of the Design-Build (DB) firm in
connection with the preparation of a Request for Proposal package for the design and preparation of a complete set of construction
plans and special provisions, if necessary, for:
• Roadway improvements to the transportation facility described herein, and the
• Bridge/structural improvements for the structure identified herein.
In December of 2008, a design was completed for the 6-lane widening of Golden Gate Boulevard (CR 876) from Wilson Boulevard
to DeSoto Boulevard. Due to budget constraints and long range transportation needs projections, the County determined that
Golden Gate Boulevard would only need four lanes. It was further determined that Transportation Engineering (TE) Department
would pursue a redesign of the project to four lanes in a four-lane right-of-way section. The redesign would be taken to 60% plans
and all permits (except for Southwest Florida Water Management District Big Cypress Basin (BCB) permitting) would be obtained
16.A.16.e
Packet Pg. 752 Attachment: 17-7159 Design Build Step 2 (4912 : 17-7159 Design Build - Golden Gate Boulevard Widening Project Number 60145)
17-7159 Design Build Step – 2 3
so that the County may, at a future date, pursue final design plans, or construct the project as a Design-Build, when construction
funding becomes available. By March 2010, the 60% redesign was completed.
The original design and subsequent 4-lane 60% re-design included the replacement of three bridges: 1) the Golden Gate Main Canal
(Bridge #034026), 2) Miller Canal (Bridge #034028), and 3) the Faka Union Canal (Bridge #034030). Bridges No. 034026 and
034028 have since been reconstructed with a previous construction project. This project also included the preliminary design (4-
lane) of the two bridges which shall be used for this DB project. This new project is for the 4-lane widening of Golden Gate
Boulevard from West of 20th Street East to East of Everglades Boulevard, including the bridge over Miller Canal (Bridge #034028)
and the drainage system to the Faka Union Canal. The project begins at the beginning of the four/two-lane transition West of 20th
St. The project terminus is the Everglades Boulevard intersection, including all required tapers East of the intersection, which shall
comply with the latest FDOT Specifications and MUTCD manual requirements. FDOT standard tapers East of the intersection are
included, as well as drainage system into the Faka Union Canal.
All the right-of-way, from West of 20th Street East to East of Everglades Boulevard has been acquired by Collier County.
Acquisition of the remaining portion needed for drainage construction East of Everglades Boulevard to the Faka Union Canal is
scheduled (but not guaranteed) to be completed by December 31st, 2017. A Notice to Proceed (NTP) shall not be granted to the DB
firm until after all right-of-way has been acquired.
DESIGN CRITERIA PROFESSIONAL
The Design Criteria Professionals for this Project is Collier County and the County has responsibility for developing and ensuring
compliance with the Design Criteria Package for the Project. The Design Criteria Professional shall also provide assistance to the
County as necessary in Project oversight, design reviews, construction monitoring, start-up assistance, and environmental compliance.
All short-listed Proposers will be provided with the Design Criteria Package which describes the minimum scope and required quality
for design and construction of the project, and it also provides additional relevant information about the project. The Design Criteria
Package generally provides for less than 30% completion level of the design documents and in no way is it represented as being final
construction documents. The Design Criteria Package has not undergone regulatory review and it does not include all the details
necessary to identify all materials and items to construct the project. It will be the Design-Builder’s responsibility to develop complete
construction documents with all necessary details commensurate with the scope and quality indicated in the Design Criteria Package and
to meet all regulatory requirements. Each Proposer shall certify on a Certification Form provided that the Proposer acknowledges,
understands and agrees that the Design Criteria Package and other project information provided do not constitute construction
documents and do not reflect all of the design, permitting, regulatory, and construction requirements for the project, and that,
notwithstanding the above, these documents are sufficient in all respects for purposes of the Proposer’s preparation and submittal of its
Proposal.
Proposers are advised that in no event shall a Proposer include any employee of the firm listed above (nor any employee of Collier
County) as part of its team for the Project. All communications with the County or Design Criteria Professionals regarding this
procurement shall be in accordance with the applicable sections of this RPS - Step 2.
PROCUREMENT OVERVIEW AND OBJECTIVES
By utilizing a D-B project delivery approach, the County expects to secure substantial benefits. These expected benefits include efficient
and cost-effective design, construction and operation, optimal risk allocation, competitive design selection, and clear assignment of
performance responsibilities to a single contracting entity. Other expected benefits include the full and appropriately-balanced
integration of key design, construction, and QA/QC personnel in all aspects of the Project development.

17-7159 Design Build Step – 2 4
The County desires to optimize creativity, cost-competitiveness and efficient delivery in the D-B process and will therefore provide
some flexibility to Proposers with respect to the design and other applicable elements affected by the overall Program. Nevertheless, it is
critical that proposed equipment and designs have been proven to meet the performance requirements of this RPS - Step 2. The
proposed project will be subject to all required regulatory approvals including, but not limited to, the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP), the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD), the United States Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE), and all applicable County and regulatory agencies policies and requirements.
The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) approved implementation of this Project using the D-B procurement method and
solicitation of the RPS - Step 1 and this RPS - Step 2. It is the County’s intent to establish a working partnership among all Project
participants - County staff, the Design Criteria Professional, and the Design-Builder.
SERVICES SUMMARY
The County believes the D-B procurement method will accomplish its objectives. To achieve the optimal benefit from this process,
the County prefers that the Proposer’s Project team be one that is a truly integrated team with a genuine, collaborative philosophy.
Such a team would integrate the two prime roles of designer and builder. These prime roles would be integrated in a manner that
supports collaboration and high performing team concepts. This team structure should share risk and reward, contain proper
incentives, and allow for the routine conflict resolution of the issues that typically arise among these two prime roles.
The Design-Builder shall provide the County with the following integrated D-B services:
Overall Project Coordination
o Leadership, coordination and communications with internal and external entities to ensure project success
o Community outreach, input and information to appropriately engage the community and County personnel, and
ensure that overall needs are met
o Coordination of activities that interface with other ongoing and planned County projects in the area and related to
this Project
Design & Permitting:
o Design of the project and all associated elements outlined
o Comprehensive permitting of all elements of the project as described in the Design Criteria Package
Construction:
o Construction management and administration
o Construction of the project and all on-site and off-site elements of the project as defined
o Seamless maintenance of operations thorough coordination with all project team members
o Completion of installation and start-up of all required equipment and systems as well as performance and
acceptance tests (where applicable)
o Completion of training of County personnel on individual systems and complete facility operation and
maintenance requirements (where applicable)
o Demolition and Repurposing of existing resources, including transfer to the County of Salvaged Equipment
(where applicable)
o Other requirements as mandated by the Agreement
o Optional construction (where applicable)
In providing these services the Design-Builder shall, at all times, comply with the following:
Design criteria and performance standards outlined in the Design Criteria Package
Measures set forth in all approved permits issued by relevant agencies
Design review/approval processes as detailed in this RFP - Step 2
County and industry design and construction standards

RE: RPS No. 17-7159 – RPS STEP 2
Design-Build Golden Gate Boulevard 4-Lane, from West of 20th Street East to East
of Everglades Boulevard, including drainage to the Faka Union Canal
Dear Mrs. Colon and Selection Committee Members:
Ajax Paving Industries of Florida, LLC (Ajax), in association with Stantec Consulting Services Inc.
(Stantec) – the Ajax/Stantec Team, is excited to submit this RPS Step 2 technical proposal for the design
and construction of Golden Gate Boulevard 4- Lane from West of 20th Street to East of Everglades
Boulevard in Collier County. The Ajax/Stantec Team has assembled an integrated team of design
and construction professionals who have successfully worked together in the past and have extensive
experience on similar design-build contracts, including the adjacent project on Golden Gate Boulevard
from Wilson Boulevard to 18th Street. Our proposed management team knows Collier County design
preferences, quality control policies, and Collier County’s high expectations in regards to community
participation.
Ajax Paving employs 420 skilled heavy civil construction employees throughout Southwest Florida and
we build the roadways that hundreds of thousand commuters drive on every day. The Ajax/Stantec
Team has the resources, reputation, and understanding to deliver a quality product on an accelerated
schedule.
Other notable, similar projects the Ajax/Stantec Team has completed include FDOT’s US-41 6- Lane from
SR 951 to Greenway Drive in Naples valued at $38M and FDOT’s I-75 6-Lane from SR 951 to Golden Gate
Parkway in Naples valued at $32M. Ajax Paving brought innovation to deliver the US-41 project 350
days ahead of schedule and $8M dollars under budget. Ajax Paving’s I-75 project won FDOT District 1’s
“the 2017 Best Progressive FDOT Contract in the state.” This award is given to the project with the best
under budget and fastest completion ratios. Again, through innovation and executing an aggressive
schedule, Ajax Paving saved FDOT over $5M and delivered the project 500 days ahead of the original
contract time. On both projects, Ajax Paving self-performed more than 50% of work which allowed
Ajax Paving greater control over the critical path schedule while ensuring the highest possible quality
product. The Ajax/Stantec Team is committed to self-perform over 50% of the work on this project, no
other team can make that commitment. Ajax Paving not only manages design/build contracts, we
build them with our highly skilled employees and high quality materials.
As required by the RPS, the Ajax/Stantec Team clearly states the following:
• The Ajax/ Stantec Team acknowledges receipt of the RPS and has reviewed, understands, and
agrees to be bound by the requirements of this RPS – Step 2 including all addenda.
• The Ajax/ Stantec Team has received and reviewed seven Addendas. Addendum 01 dated

In preparation for this Technical Proposal response, the Ajax/Stantec Team has reviewed the current
project documentation, addendums issued, and our unsolicited proposal submitted Summer 2016.
As stated during our Step 1 proposal, we believe that the drainage design and construction, utility
coordination/relocation, and providing an accelerated schedule to minimize local impacts will
guide and control our design decisions. We will also work to incorporate all of the commitments to
stakeholders and permitting conditions on this project.
We look forward to continuing our working relationship with the Collier County staff to complete the
second phase of widening on Golden Gate Boulevard.
Sincerely,
Ajax Paving Industries of Florida, LLC

Executive Summary
The Ajax/Stantec Team fully comprehends the scope
of work and is extremely familiar with the specific
aspects of each facility within the project limits
including:
• City of Naples Raw Water Main
• 8th Street and 16th Street Improvements
• Coordination requirements with adjacent
residents along Golden Gate Blvd
• Existing underground limestone formations
(caprock)
• Miller Bridge Widening project constructed in
2013
• Required utility relocations
The Ajax/Stantec Team has been pursuing this
project together for several years, has collaborated
with more than 20 individuals at Collier County, and
attended a Public Information meeting to obtain
a strong understanding of Collier County’s goals
and commitments. Through this partnership and our
understanding of the RPS, we have identified the
critical issues important to Collier County and the
residents living along Golden Gate Boulevard who
have a meaningful stake in the success of this project.
These critical issues are discussed throughout the
technical proposal.
During the design and construction of the adjacent
project, we collaborated with our design and
construction team partners, reviewed and solved
residents’ concerns, and provided Collier County
with valuable enhancements. After submitting
an Unsolicited Proposal in 2016 and successfully
completing the adjacent project, we are excited to
bring even more innovation and solutions to deliver
this second project even faster than the first.
Understanding of County’s Goals and
Objectives
Two areas that are of special interest to Collier
County are an early completion schedule and a
well thought out and executed traffic management
plan (TMP). Our commitment is to safely provide the
highest quality project with a focus on minimizing
impacts to the residents, pedestrians, bicyclists,
and emergency vehicles that use Golden Gate
Boulevard. We will achieve success by delivering a
safe, high value project ahead of schedule, while
meeting Collier County’s objectives and delivering
the project commitments.
In order to achieve these objectives and have
accountability, the Ajax/Stanec Team has assigned
champions—for both design and construction—for
each of Collier County’s objectives.

These senior staff members will be responsible for
achieving their assigned objective. During our
partnering meeting, the Ajax/Stantec Team, along
with Collier County, will discuss the project objectives
and finalize the implementation plan.
In addition to the expected benefits, the Ajax/Stantec
Team is well aware of Collier County’s community and
environmental commitments identified in the RPS. Our
design management team, led by Phil Menke, PE, will
confirm all commitments are addressed.
Changes to Key Team Members
In our team’s Step 1 response, Brad Craver, PE, was
listed as our Senior Drainage Designer. Since that
submittal, Brad has left Stantec to join another firm.
The Ajax/Stantec Team has filled that position with Tim
Vavra, PE. Tim was the Drainage Engineer of Record
on the adjacent Golden Gate Boulevard project and
is committed 100% to the drainage design of this
project. Tim brings with him an excellent resume. (See
box to the left for a short bio and relevant project
history.) All other design and construction positions
remain unchanged.
Design-Build Delivery Plan
Our approach to building a successful design-build
project includes nonstop coordination, proactive
project management, CPM scheduling, and
partnering with Collier County, permitting agencies
and other stakeholders.
A common goal we heard repeatedly when meeting
with Collier County and local residents is to complete
the project as quickly as possible to minimize
public inconvenience, maximimize safety, and gain
community confidence. The Ajax/Stantec Team’s
preliminary CPM schedule has identified critical issues
that must be properly addressed to achieve this goal.
These scheduling issues and our proposed solutions
are discussed below.
Drainage/Permitting Submittals
Our approach will immediately focus design
resources on the drainage design and ERP Permit
Modifications. We will immediately schedule a
pre-application meeting with South Florida Water
Management District (SFWMD) and Big Cypress
Basin (BCB) to discuss proposed modifications and
application requirements. This up-front coordination is
critical to the project’s overall success.
Utility Coordination and Relocations
Florida Power and Light (FPL), CenturyLink, Comcast,
and Summitt Broadband are within the right-of-way
and will need to be relocated. We will immediately
work with these UAOs and identify safe areas for
placement for relocated lines. Joni Rano (Utility
Coordinator) will manage this proactive and detailed
coordination to not delay construction.
Tim Vavra, PE – Tim has over 23 years
of experience in drainage design and
environmental permitting. He has extensive
knowledge of FDOT drainage requirements and
district policies. His work as drainage engineer on
a variety of transportation projects throughout
Florida have included the design of primary
and secondary drainage systems, temporary
drainage, erosion control, pond siting, location
hydraulics, bridge hydraulics, and environmental
resource permitting for review and approval by
various state water management districts and
federal agencies.

Construction Resources and Stakeholder Commitments
Ajax Paving and its dedicated subcontractors
are committed to providing the manpower and
resources to complete this project ahead of
schedule. Guymann Construction, our exclusive
drainage subcontractor with experience on the
adjacent project, has committed four drainage/rock
excavation crews. This will ensure daily progress and
an active and productive workzone.
Because inactive work zones create negative public
perception, Ajax is committed to have resources on
the project every possible work day.
Miller Canal Bridge Widening
We will immediately finalize the bridge plans and
then construct the Miller Canal Bridge widening
before major road work commences. This will allow
construction crews safe access across the canal. This
will also minimize impacts to the traveling public.
Overview of Design and Construction Plans
We have thoroughly reviewed the 60% concept plans
and have already started our approach to the design
and development of the released-for-construction
(RFC) plans. The team has come together with design
and construction staff to determine the critical issues
on the project and the approach for resolution
of these issues from a constructability stand point.
We want to make sure the design and resulting
construction plans can be built in the most cost
effective and quickest way possible.
Upfront, these two items set the stage for a successful
project. By getting together the roadway, drainage,
and geotechnical staff with the construction
managers, putting them in one room and discussing
the goals of each of these disciplines, we can resolve
issues with profile, shallow cap rock, high ground
water, and pavement base clearance on-the-fly.
Collier County wil be invited to participate.
This approach adds value to the project by reducing
construction time and resolving issues before they
get to the field. The Ajax/Stantec Team will continue
this approach to the design and plans production
throughout the life of the project with regular
workshops to optimize the layout of the roadway and
drainage system.
Noise and Odor Abatement (environmental)
The Ajax/Stantec Team is committed to achieving
full environmental compliance and have a thorough
understanding of the permit requirements and
commitments. Environmental best practices include:
• Implementing pollution prevention, erosion,
sedimentation, and dust control measures as
detailed by our project plan.
• Prioritizing the restoration of sensitive areas to
minimize exposure
• Early excavation of stormwater management
ponds to be used for treatment of temporary
drainage
• Limited nighttime operations to traffic shifts only,
all other work will be completed during daytime
hours. This includes our noisiness construction
activity, pile driving.
• Using a fleet of Tier 4 clean emissions paving
and construction equipment that reduce air
quality impact
Management of Construction Impacts to
Surrounding Communities
Good communication is the key element to
minimizing impacts to surrounding communities.
If the property owner is fully aware of the work
being performed around them, they can be
better prepared for the potential impacts. From
experience with the adjacent design build project,

7Collier County RPS No. 17-7159 - STEP 2 Evaluation Criteria No. 1 Technical Proposal
Design-Build of the Golden Gate Boulevard 4-Lane Road Project
we understand the potential impact construction
may have on adjacent residents which have existing
fences on newly acquired Collier County property,
school bus routes, and US Postal Mail deliveries. As
demonstrated before, the Ajax/Stantec Team will
communicate clearly with the property owners,
school district, and US Postal Service to ensure no
issues. If an issue arises, we will quickly develop a
solution to remedy the issue.
Coordination of Construction to Minimize
Impact to Maintenance of Operations
The Ajax/Stantec Team recognizes the need to
quickly respond to unexpected events such as
major storm events, vehicular crashes, and other
events within the work zone. We also recognize
the paramount importance that Collier County
places in minimizing impacts to the public during
construction. Upon award, we will design a specific
Incident Management Plan (IMP) and be ready
for implementation before any construction takes
place that impacts the adjacent residents, bicyclists,
or pedestrians. Major components of our plan will
include:
• incident management stakeholder identification
• development of incident response goals and
objectives
• strategies to manage and clear the impacted
facility
• level of response and action plan
• plan sharing with agencies
The Ajax/Stantec Team will have incident
management devices placed at strategic location
within the project limits. These devices will be
set aside, protected, and maintained for use in
emergency incidents only and will include 50
dedicated channelizing devices and an arrow board.
Hurricane and Major Storm Management
Plan
In addition to the IMP, the Ajax/Stantec Team will
draft and submit for review a Hurricane and Major
Storm Management Plan detailing our procedures
for the different stages of a tropical event prior
to the beginning of construction. In the event the
Ajax/Stantec Team receives a notification of an
emergency, as was the case during Hurricane Irma
(September 2017), we will cease all construction
activities and secure the site until the evacuation
order has been lifted.
The safety of the adjacent property owners and
traveling public is the highest priority and all
preparations necessary to ensure the safe flow of
traffic through the project site will be taken. We
will coordinate efforts with Collier County and all
appropriate emergency and law enforcement
personnel to secure the project site and ensure timely
and efficient evacuation.
Construction Traffic Management Plan
The Ajax/Stantec Team’s Traffic Management Plan
will address the following critical components:
1) Temporary Traffic Control (TTC)
2) Internal Traffic Control Plan (ITCP)
3) Site Security/Transportation Operations Plan
4) Public Outreach Information
Our safe and efficient Temporary Traffic Control (TTC)
Plan consists of two major phases of construction.
Phase 1 will construct the new eastbound roadway
while traffic is maintained on the existing road. Phase
2 will construct the new westbound lanes with traffic
shifted onto the newly constructed westbound lanes.
A minor Phase 3 will consist primarily of temporary
pavement removal and median clean-up, friction
course, and final pavement markings.
Before any work is performed in the field, The Ajax/
Stantec Team’s construction management will
develop an Internal Traffic Control Plan (ITCP). This
Temporary Traffic Control

8Collier County RPS No. 17-7159 - STEP 2 Evaluation Criteria No. 1 Technical Proposal
Design-Build of the Golden Gate Boulevard 4-Lane Road Project
ITCP will be shared with the Collier County staff and
distributed to all subcontractors on the project.
The ITCP will detail safe egress and degress, safe
walking zones, and potential hazards for construction
employees and inspection staff each day. Ajax is a
leader in proactive planning which maximizes safety
to our construction employees. Safety is our top
priority.
The Concept Plans do not address maintenance
of bicycle traffic. As a value added enhancement,
we propose to maintain minimum four-foot wide
temporary bicycle lanes throughout construction.
During Phase 1, channelizing devices will be
positioned to allow unobstructed use of paved
shoulders. During Phase 2, the new sidewalk and
eastbound paved shoulder will be available for
bicycle use.
Additional temporary pavement is needed to provide
a bicycle lane adjacent to the temporary westbound
lane. There is no sidewalk within the project limits.
During Phase 2 construction, the new sidewalk will
be opened to pedestrians. Newly constructed bus
stop pads will also be put into service during Phase 2
construction. Our TTC Plan will conform to the current
MUTCD and FDOT design index standards.
Site Security Plans
Our Site Security/Transportation Operations Plan
component will focus primarily upon incident
management during active work periods. Our
comprehensive Incident Management Plan (IMP) is
designed to detect, respond, and manage disruptions
to traffic flow. Our crews will assist stranded motorists
during active work periods. We will also coordinate
with Collier County Sheriff’s Office to ensure crashes
are reported and cleared as soon as practical.
Our crews will also be available to assist in clearing
debris from the roadway after crashes. Effective
implementation of an IMP reduces congestion and
delays for motorists and improves safety by reducing
the risk of secondary crashes.
As an added value to Collier County and Big Cypress
Basin (BCB), the Ajax/Stantec Team will propose to
install FDOT security fence and a 24’ gate at the
Miller Canal Boat Ramp. On the adjacent project, we
worked with Collier County and BCB to install these
additional security features at no additional cost.
Public Outreach Concepts
Our Public Information component will include an
outreach program for adjacent property owners
with particular emphasis on scheduling of driveway
restoration to minimize inconvenience. On the
adjacent project, we coordinated existing fencing
removal with a homeowner so not to let his goats
roam the Collier County ROW.
We will coordinate with the Collier County Public
Information Officer (PIO) on preparation for a
Pre-Construction Public Information Workshop, as
needed.
During construction, two-week look-aheads furnished
at weekly progress meetings will provide the PIO with
information on scheduled activities, with particular
attention on the schedule for driveway removal and
reinstallation. We will work with the PIO and Collier
County to post Road Alert Updates via the County’s
Communication & Customer Relations website. We
will also work with the PIO on implementation of work
zone awareness messages on Changeable Message
Signs to supplement work zone signs and encourage
safe speeds through active work zones.

Innovative Approaches to Project Design
and/or Delivery
The Ajax/Stantec Team will design an innovative
and cost effective project. Between design and
construction, we have incorporated over 10
innovations that reduce impacts to the traveling
public and UAO’s, reduce costs to Collier County,
and reduces construction duration.
The Ajax/Stantec Team has also improved the design
by modifying Basin/Pond 5 to accommodate the
Everglades Boulevard improvements. This elimated
the need to build 5,200 LF of ditching along with Pond
6. This innovation saved Collier County $725,000 and
60 days of construction.
A complete list of innovations appears in Section
3.0. We will also incorporate FDOT’s paperless
construction project innovation into this project. The
features of this paperless system include:
• Ajax will host an Information Sharing website for
this project
• All design submittals and letters will be
submitted online
• All Quality Control Reports will be submitted
online
• No more lost paperwork
Demolition and Restoration
Existing Miller Canal Bridge railing demolition will
be accomplished utilizing conventional methods
in conjunction with equipment such as the 125 ton
American crane. Structure debris will be removed for
further processing and recycling.
Our goal is to maximize the use of existing material
and avoid sending construction and demolition debris
to landfills. Design and construction solutions that
support recycling and/or re-using material include:
• Reuse existing asphalt pavement (RAP) in our
new structural asphalt mix
• Use existing base as stabilization for new
pavement and milled asphalt as base for
temporary pavement
• Recycle all removed steel and concrete
materials
• Use broken concrete in fill where allowed by
specification

The Ajax/Stantec Team has paid particular attention
to the development of an integrated organizational
structure and an interactive management plan
to facilitate teamwork and communication. In this
manner, we have strived to ensure that our broad
capabilities and extensive design and construction
resources are brought fully to bear on the task at
hand. The Ajax/Stantec Team organizational structure
(shown on the previous page) identifies each key
individual and his/her position within the organization.
We believe this unique teaming arrangement
provides significant benefits to Collier County as
follows:
• First and foremost, all Ajax/Stantec Team
members are committed to completing this
project ahead of schedule, providing Collier
County with efficient and timely design
submittals and construction activities.
• Second, the design staff are fully represented
and involved in all aspects of the organization
and activities of the project, so design
requirements are more clearly understood and
overall quality is more easily maintained.
Project Team Approach • Third, both the design and construction
personnel are mutually motivated to mitigate
and/or solve problems that may arise in the
best overall interest of the project. The overall
objectives of schedule, quality, cost and safety
will be mutually achieved.
• Fourth, our Integrated project structure facilitates
a closer, integrated relationship with Collier
County and a more accommodating approach
toward other stakeholders, in that the key staff
members proactively cooperate to provide
common recommendations and solutions.
Integrated Project Structure
Our organizational approach is structured to
integrate Collier County with the Ajax/Stantec Team.
Our organization facilitates an open task force
environment, where engineering, construction, quality,
safety, public information personnel and Collier

Construction-Focused Design Approach
The design-build delivery method offers the benefits
of a construction-focused design approach. This
concept brings the entire team together very early in
the design process to establish common goals and to
achieve Collier County’s ultimate goal of providing a
more efficient transportation corridor. Based on our
documented expertise with design-build projects, the
Ajax/Stantec Team brings an integrated team with
a common goal of successful project completion,
commitment to work from the outset to incorporate
constructability and innovation in its final product,
and efficiency for the process as a whole through
concurrent engineer and constructor evaluations of
every issue at every step along the way.
Co-Location
To minimize design changes after kick-off, the Ajax/
Stantec Team will co-locate Felipe Jaramillo, PE,
DBIA (Construction Design-Build Coordinator), with
our design team to enable constructability reviews
throughout the design phase and not solely at the
phase submittals. These reviews will be an important
topic of discussion during regular project coordination
meetings and offer opportunities for our Design Team
and Construction Team key members to provide input
on functionality, constructability, economics, and
most importantly, conformance to the project design
criteria.
During the construction phase, Phil Menke, PE (Design
Project Manager), will serve as a design coordinator.
He will be responsible for quickly answering RFIs,
resolving questions and clarifications that may arise,

timely performance to Collier County. This project
will require a substantial project based workforce of
construction operators, craftsmen and laborers.
The Ajax/Stantec Team anticipates that once proper
permits are secured, and the work is progressing
concurrently on the many scopes and phases of work,
there may be in excess of 50 workers on site during
peak periods. For management, supervision, and self
performed work, we will draw from our core workforce
of over 420 employees in Southwest Florida. Major
subcontractors working on phases of work including
but not limited to, bridge work, drainage, pavement
markings, guardrail, signalization, and other smaller
groups of work will draw from an available workforce
of another 200 workers, so that we anticipate drawing
from an available and seasoned workforce of in
excess of 620 employees.
Location
The Ajax/Stantec Team offers something no other
team can bring to Collier County – immediate, local
availability. Now that the adjacent 4-lane Golden
Gate Boulevard project was completed on time in
November 2017, the project management team
including Andy Decraene, Felipe Jaramillo, Matt
Desotell, Ralph Bridger, Galen Laurie, and Kevin Shimp
will have availability. All these individuals are local
to Southwest Florida and would be honored to have
the opportunity to construct the next phase. Ajax
has surplus bench strength to manage our current
workload as well as construct the next phase of 4-lane
Golden Gate Boulevard.
Stantec provides the experienced roadway design
team that is available and ready to take on this
design-build project. Our key staff, including Phil
Menke, Jason Mosley, Tim Varva, and Tom Trettis
are coming off of other
projects and are ready
to shift efforts on to the
Golden Gate Boulevard
project. They bring
with them a unique
understanding of the
scope of this project
having worked on the
adjacent project.
Our team has the
capacity to meet
all design needs
of Collier County
for this project.

Detailed Project Schedule Narrative
The project’s design-build procurement and
geographic location in Southwest Florida brings
unique scheduling challenges the Ajax/Stantec Team
will efficiently manage. The design-build delivery
method will allow the Ajax Team the flexibility of
working under the existing ERP Permit to clear and
grub the ROW and start utility relocations while design
is progressing. Also, Southwest Florida experiences a
significant rainy season between the months of June
through October, with groundwater at its peak in
August and September. Our Team has accounted for
this rainy season in our schedule. We anticipate 581
days of the total 716 days to be construction days. Our
current project schedule shows substantial completion
of design and construction activities in 686 Days after
a projected NTP date of April 24, 2018.

Approach to Critical Path Activities
The Ajax/Stantec Team has identified several critical
path elements including design, permit modification,
utility coordination and relocation, and drainage
construction. Our design team has scheduled
ample resources to swiftly submit the required initial
submittals, permit modification application and plans.
Based on recent meetings with SFWMD, we anticipate
120 calendar days for SFWMD and the Army Corp of
Engineers to review and approve the ERP Modification
and Dewatering Permit. The Ajax/Stantec Team has
hired an experienced hydrogeologist to assist with the
dewatering permit acquisition, which is critical to this
project.
Work Breakdown Structure
Design and construction activities have been
organized by scope, and more importantly by phase.
The project has been broken down into five segments:
• Design and Permitting
• Utility Coordination Relocation
• Construction Phase 1 Eastbound Roadway
• Construction Phase 2 Westbound Roadway
• Construction Phase 3 Friction Course/
Thermoplastic and Project Closeout
Design & Permitting
The Ajax/Stantec Team will immediately mobilize
survey and geotechnical crews to verify the concept
plans and assumptions made during procurement.
Development of the 90% Roadway Plans and
Environmental Permitting quickly become the
focus of our design management team. We have
broken down the design into six subdivisions: Start-
Up Activities, Environmental Permitting, Roadway
and Drainage, Structures, Signalization/ Signing
and Pavement Markings, and Construction Phase
Services. Each subdivision has a lead engineer
who will manage the progress of their plans and
reports and will report back to the Design Project
Manager. Based on our experience with the adjacent
project, the Ajax/Stantec Team will have to perform
environmental studies on gopher tortoises and other
endangered species; as well as, obtain historical and
archaeological clearance before allowing any work
to be performed within the ROW.
Utility Relocation
Construction intends to use the existing ERP Permit
to clear and grub the eastbound roadway to allow
relocating utilities to work unimpeded. Coordination
with CenturyLink, Summitt Broadband, Comcast,
and FPL is of upmost importance. This upfront work
will bring out the biggest advantage of design-build
procurement– reduced total schedule – while ensuring
Collier County ample time to participate in the design
phase of the project.
Construction Phase 1 & 2 Golden Gate Blvd.
Construction
With utility relocation and RFC plans in hand, Phase
1 eastbound roadway construction has been
scheduled in order of operation taking into account
haul distance from adjacent pond sites, local material
properties, and seasonal weather restrictions. The
Ajax/Stantec Team has secured commitments in
order to have ample storm drainage and earthwork
crews onsite to take advantage of the dry site
conditions between November and May. The critical
path runs through the pond excavation, earthwork,
and drainage activities which are most affected
by the wet conditions. Phase 2 westbound will be
constructed in a like manner as Phase 1.
Special attention will be given to residents adjacent
to the project. Communication will be made with
property owners before replacement of their
driveways and mailboxes are made. School bus and
CAT bus stops will be maintained during construction.
Construction Phase 3 Friction Course/Thermoplastic and Project Closeout
After widening and traffic shifts are complete, an
asphalt paver will be used to lay down the FC-9.5 with
Polymer Grade 76-22 in strict conformance with FDOT
specifications and our approved QC asphalt laydown
plan. Ajax Paving’s Plants 2 and 4 in Lee County will
provide the project’s asphalt pavement. Once friction
course is laid project wide, thermoplastic will follow
and project closeout. In close coordination with Collier
County project personnel, the Ajax/Stantec Team
plans to implement a transparent/ streamlined project
closeout procedure.

proposed roadway improvements are needed to
accommodate the 2035 LRTP model traffic projections
of over 29,000 VPD.
The proposed project consists of approximately
1.8 miles of 4-lane reconstruction of Golden Gate
Boulevard (GGB) from east of 18th Street NE to east
of Everglades Boulevard plus FDOT tapers including
the reconstruction of the signalization intersection
at Everglades Boulevard. The proposed project also
includes widening the existing Miller Canal Bridge
from two to four lanes, a boat ramp with parking
and turnaround area, and reconstructing three
intersections.
The Golden Gate Boulevard widening project was
initially designed to be a four-lane typical section
expandable to a future six-lane. The initial 60% plans
were completed in January 2008 with Kevin Dugan
as the Collier County Project Manager. Due to
budgetary constraints, public input, and updated
long range transportation needs along the corridor,
the project was redesigned to provide a four-lane
typical section.
We understand the four-lane expandable to six-lane
design was permitted (permit mod) through South
Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) with
permit No. 11-01770-P, dated January 4, 2010. The
permit was modified for a four-lane ultimate typical
section, dated October 18. 2010. The SFWMD permit
was extended during the previous construction
project from the expiration date of January 4, 2017
to October 2, 2020. We expect to be completed with
construction during mid-year of 2020.
The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) permit has
been issued, dated August 15, 2014. Because our
design will not alter or increase impacts to wetlands
or protected species, we anticipate that no
modification of the Corps permits will be required.
Through our research and discussions with the Big
Cypress Basin (BCB), we have determined that the
BCB Right-of-Way permit has been issued for the
Golden Gate Boulevard bridge over the Miller Canal.
(Permit No. 13369). Our design will be in substantial
conformance with the permit, and therefore the
ROW permit will not need to be modified.

Roadway Design Approach
The Ajax/Stantec Team will comply with the County’s
objective to complete final plans for the 4-lane
roadway design criteria established in the 60% plans
previously prepared for this project. Our design will
include the typical section details depicted in the 60%
including the median backfill and paved shoulder
details. To maximize ease of maintenance, all tie-
down slopes along the back of sidewalk and swale
side slopes will be designed to 1V:4H (typical) or flatter
as right of way will allow, and using a 1V:3H maximum
slope where constrained by right-of-way.
Geometric roadway design will meet the criteria
established in the 60% plans, providing the same
alignment, access management, turn lanes, and
intersection design that we have confirmed meets
FDOT design standards for the 45 MPH design speed.
The transition from the 4-lane typical section east of
Everglades Boulevard will be designed to comply
with FDOT Standard Index 526. We will be looking to
include enhancements to optimize gutter spread and
hydraulics.
Golden Gate Boulevard is designated as a hurricane
evacuation route. There may be adjustments to the
profile based on a need to maintain one lane of
traffic above the flood elevation during hurricane
evacuation. Also, based on our knowledge of the
area, the profile may be adjusted upward to avoid
the shallow limestone layer in the Golden Gate area.
The final pavement design will match the adjacent
design-build project. This pavement design,
Superpave asphalt with friction course, implements
the same structural number established in the 60%
plans, and meeting current FDOT Design Standards
and Specifications. We will explore the optional
base group alternatives to provide the optimum
pavement structure for the roadway. The final design
plans that we submit to the County will include all
appropriate details for sidewalks and curb ramps,
meeting FDOT 2018 Standard Plans, and complying
with the most up-to-date ADA requirements.
All permanent pavement markings will be
thermoplastic meeting FDOT design standards and
specifications. All ground mounted signs reflected
in the 60% plans will be reviewed for compliance
with current MUTCD and FDOT standards prior to
meeting with Collier County Traffic Operations staff to
implement most recent preferences for signing bike
lanes and signage at side streets such as right turn
only/divided highway treatments, bike lanes, and
street name/ahead signs.

Drainage Design and Stormwater Permitting
As depicted in the 60% plans, stormwater runoff will
be collected via curb inlets and conveyed through
culvert pipes to the stormwater management pond
sites purchased by the County for this project. As a
project enhancement, the Ajax/Stantec Team will
only utilize reinforced concrete pipe for all culverts.
Our design will maximize ease of maintenance
and will provide the County with a drainage system
with long term value when compared to alternative
approaches that would store runoff in the roadway
right-of-way and result in persistently wet ditches that
are difficult to maintain and the object of resident
complaints.
The Ajax/Stantec Team understands that shallow
caprock exists within this area of Collier County. We
propose to obtain additional borings within each
pond site to map the depth of the caprock and
then determine the most efficiently constructible
pond configuration that will provide 1H:6V maximum
slopes and 20-foot wide berms for long term ease
of maintenance. The project is located within and
discharges to Waterbody Identification (WBID)
3278S which is impaired for nutrients. We have
confirmed in SFWMD meetings requirements for an
additional 50% water quality volume and nutrient
loading calculations to meet district criteria and
design parameters contained in the new Statewide
Environmental Resource Permitting Basis of Review
Manual.
We propose to improve the hydraulic connectivity
of off-site areas to the canals by adding culverts
across all side street connections. We have discussed
and received concurrence from SFWMD for this
enhancement that we expect will reduce potential
for property owner complaints due to stormwater
ponding.
Off-site swales along Golden Gate Boulevard will
be designed to stay dry during the wet season with
bottom elevations at least one foot above the
seasonal high water table. Side slopes will be 1V:4H or
flatter as right-of-way allows.
Stantec’s recent track record in obtaining SFWMD
permits for FDOT projects in Southwest Florida has
been very successful. In July 2012, SFWMD issued
FDOT the ERP for the SR 739 (US 41 Business) Project in
Lee County (FPID 421116-1) in which Stantec’s team
received accolades from the District 1 Permitting
Engineer for the unprecedented accomplishment
of securing SFWMD permits for a major roadway
improvement with no RAI’s.
Safety
We understand the need to provide a safe project
for the people of Collier County. We will take the
upmost care during construction to provide a
safe environment for the traveling public and the
construction crews. The Ajax/Stantec team is also
committed to engineering safety into the design of
the project.
Access management and intersection geometry
offer opportunities to provide safety aspects into
the design, such as; directional median openings,
u-turn bulb-outs, and desirable return radii. Additional
features like bike lanes, sidewalk ramps meeting
ADA requirements, and minimizing the lengths of
crosswalks all provide for a highway designed with the
community in mind.
Bridge Design and BCB Permitting
We understand the County’s objective for the design-
build team is to approach the bridge cross over Miller
Canal similar to the crossing of the Golden Gate Main
Canal on the adjacent project. We will use the 90%
4-lane bridge plans as a basis for our designs and, with
the BCB ROW permits in hand, will be ready to go to
construction early in the construction schedule. The
boat ramp as shown in the concept plans is included
in the BCB ROW permit. Our past experience on the
Existing Bridge over Miller Canal

Golden Gate Main Canal boat ramp gives us insight
into what the BCB is expecting for design criteria of
the ramp and security for the site. We know the boat
ramp will be for District use only and will be gated.
The bridge widening over the Miller Canal will consist
of a three-span structure including 3 equal spans
of 33’-8”, with an overall bridge length of 101’-0” to
match the existing structure. The widened bridge
will consist of an 18” continuous slab supported on
pile bents. The end bents and pile bents will match
the existing configuration supported by 18” square
prestressed concrete piles.
Before preparing widening plans we will review the
latest Bridge Inspection Report and the existing load
rating. If the existing load rating is inaccurate, we will
perform a new load rating of the existing bridge in
accordance with FDOT’s Structure Design Guidelines
(SDG) Section 1.7. The bridge is relatively new, and
we would not expect there to be any issues with the
load rating based upon our review of the existing
plans.
We believe the bridge widening will meet the criteria
for a major widening as it doubles the number of
traffic lanes on the bridge and we intend to comply
with FDOT’s direction outlined in SDG 7.3 for bridge
widenings. The widening will match the aesthetic
level of the existing bridge and will not appear to be
an obvious “add-on”. A Class 5 Finish coating will be
considered for the portions of the existing structure to
remain.
We will consider both the construction sequence
and the interaction between the widening and the
existing structure after completion when designing
the widening and verifying the capacity of the
structure. Plans will be detailed so that live load
vibrations from the existing structure will be minimized
or eliminated during closure pour and curing. Ample
clearance between proposed driven piles and
existing piles, utilities, or other obstructions will be
provided. Recent pile driving records for the newly
constructed bridge will be reviewed to assist in setting
piling length. Bearing fixity and expansion devices for
the existing bridge will be considered as the widening
will be designed to match the movement of the
existing bridge.
Minimum vertical clearance requirements will be
reviewed with the SFWMD to ensure the proper
clearance will be provided for the final structure.
The proposed widening will not reduce the existing
vertical clearance.
As with all widenings, we will confirm by field
inspection and survey that the available existing
bridge plans depict the actual field conditions.
The final deck configuration after widening will
include a new 19’-4” raised median with 1’-4”
shoulders on either side separating the two traffic
lanes in each direction. The existing sidewalk and
water main support on the westbound side will
remain as is. The eastbound side will consist of a new
6’-8” raised sidewalk, traffic railing, and an aluminum
bullet rail. Bike lanes will be provided on the bridge in
each direction.
The slope protection under the widened portion of
the bridge will match the existing Shoreblock slope
protection constructed as part of the two-lane
bridge including a 6’-0” wildlife berm at each end of
the bridge. The vertical clearance from Design High
Water (DHW) to the beam low member elevation will

will be developed for the slope protection used for
the Miller Canal under the bridge as required.
Miscellaneous Structures
Four mast arms will be provided at the intersection of
Everglades Boulevard. These mast arms will include
luminaire to lit the intersection. The design criteria for
the structural design of signal structures shall be in
accordance with AASHTO’s Standard Specifications
for Structural Supports for Highway Signs, Luminaires
and Traffic Signals, as modified by the FDOT Structures
Manual, Volume 3. We propose to use FDOT Design
Standards for signal structures in conjuction with
custom design associated with site specific conditions
including the luminaire supports.
Signalization & Lighting
Our proposed signal design for the Everglades
Boulevard intersection is based on the concept Signal
Plans and includes improvements to meet current
criteria, and Collier County’s latest Signalization
Technical Special Provisions, such as signal head
orientation, and mast arm paint color, inductive loop
detection, and signal and IT interconnect throughout
the project. Our proposed design avoids impacts to
the 36” raw water main, while minimizing mast arm
length and utilizing standard FDOT mast arm designs.
Our proposed signal design includes required
pedestrian signal features for all crosswalks and LED
luminaire attachments on each mast arm to enhance
pedestrian safety at the signalized crosswalks. A
lighting justification report and a lighting design
analysis report will be prepared to document the
need for lighting and the proposed lighting levels at
the intersection.
Geotechnical/Soils
The Ajax/Stantec Team is familiar with the soils in
Collier County. We have reviewed the soil borings
provided in the plans and the soil survey map.
The caprock was generally encountered from 2’
to 14’ deep within the project limits. The caprock
encountered within the borings was generally
compact to very dense.
Deleterious organic muck was encountered in
boring AB-73B, AB-73C and AB-73D between Station
174+80 and Station 175+30 which is east of Miller
Canal. Organic muck is not suitable for roadway
embankment and should be removed in accordance
with FDOT Standard Plans Index 120-002. The Collier
County Soil Survey notes Chobe, limestone substratum,
and Dania mucks depressional could be encountered
throughout the area. Additional borings will be
performed if organic soils are present.
Utilities
Key stakeholders are utility owners with affected
facilities within the roadway corridor. We will
coordinate with the City of Naples regarding the 36”
raw water main that will remain in place along the
north side of the roadway. We will include the City of
Naples Public Works staff in all design and construction
correspondence and meetings regarding all issues
that have the potential to affect this facility.
We understand the use of vibratory rollers will not be
permitted along the new westbound roadway. We will
coordinate and take additional precautions during
construction of nearby drainage structures and right
turn lanes under which the 36” raw water main is to
remain. There will be two crossings of the water main
by the proposed storm drainage system. In these
locations, we will consider staying as far away from
the line as possible getting no closer than one foot
and using thin walled pipe or conflict structures.
Important to executing our design and construction
schedule is involving coordination with FPL to relocate
utility poles to the north right-of-way line. Additional
coordination will be required with Summit Broadband
(formerly US Metro), CenturyLink, and Comcast who
we expect will either reattach overhead fiber optic
cable, cable tv, and telephone lines onto the new
pole line or combine facilities in a joint trench or
shared duct bank. We worked with FPL previously
to get red-green-brown (RGBs) mark-ups of their
proposed relocation plan on the previous phase
allowing us to advance the clearing and grubbing
and utility relocations.
We have contacted Mark Cook at Comcast, Anthony
Zawacky at Centuryline, Mike Reber at Summit

with utility owners to provide plans for their review and
mark up.
Maintenance of Traffic
Our temporary traffic control plan (TTCP) consists of
two major phases of construction. Phase 1 will be to
construct the new eastbound roadway while traffic
is maintained on the existing roadway. Phase 2 will
be to construct the new westbound lanes with traffic
shifted onto the newly constructed eastbound lanes.
A minor third phase will consist primarily of temporary
pavement removal, median clean-up, and final
pavement markings. Our TTC Plan will maintain all
existing bicycle and pedestrian accommodations
paying close attention to maintaining safe drop off
and pick up for school bus stops.
During Phase 1 construction, we propose to maintain
pedestrian traffic at side street locations including
safe access to school bus stops. During Phase 2
construction, the new sidewalk will be opened to
pedestrians and newly constructed bus stop pads
with bike racks will also be put into service. Our team
will take extra precaution to ensure the safety of
pedestrians, the traveling public, and our workforce.
During construction, two-week look-aheads provided
at weekly progress meetings will provide the County
with information on scheduled activities, with
particular attention on lane closures. We will work
with Collier County to post Road Alert Updates via
the County’s Communication & Customer Relations
website.
Widening and resurfacing of Golden Gate Boulevard
east of Everglades Boulevard for the transition to
existing will be performed during the allowable lane
closure times between 6 PM and 6 AM and traffic will
be maintained in accordance with FDOT Standard
Plans Nos. 600, 613, 615, 616 and current FDOT
specifications.
Collier Area Transit Coordination
The Collier Area Transit (CAT) Bus 19 has a route on
Golden Gate Boulevard from Collier Boulevard to
Wilson Boulevard. There are currently no plans to
extend the bus route further east on GGB. We will
coordinate with the CAT during the construction effort
should there be a change to the CAT service.
Future Landscape Accomodations
The Ajax/Stantec Team understands the County’s
general desire to accommodate future median
landscaping. Kevin Mangan, our team’s landscape
architect located in Stantec’s Naples office, will
take the lead in working with Pam Lulich and the
design-build team to maximize opportunities to
accommodate future landscaping. Examples of this
include identifying locations for irrigation sleeves and
confirming the County’s specifications for median
backfill that will be provided in accordance with the
typical section details depicted on sheet 25 of the
60% Plans.
Public Involvement
Our approach to navigating through the design
phase of this project will be to fully engage
project stakeholders. This will include involving the
public through initial public meetings followed by
conscientious response to concerns of individual
residents during the design and construction phases.
For our public involvement program, our team
includes Cella Molnar Associates (CMA) to assist
with logistical support to include establishing and
maintaining mailing lists, assisting with notification
materials, and logging calls received on the
construction inquiry phone line. All public inquiries
will be immediately forwarded to the Construction
Bus Stop on Golden Gate Boulevard Segment 1

To “kick-off” the project, a preconstruction public
information workshop will be held in the vicinity of the
project. A four-page newsletter will be mailed to the
surrounding community that will be affected by the
construction. The newsletter will inform the public of
the time and location of the public workshop, and
provide information on the toll free “hotline” (they
may call to ask questions or voice specific concerns).
The newsletter will also be mailed to elected officials
and agency representatives.
A press release including detailed project information
will be sent to all local media and additional
information will be provided as requested. The public
workshop will also be advertised in the Naples Daily
News.
The public information workshop held prior to
construction will allow the public to review the
plans and have one-on-one discussions with the
design-build team and Collier County personnel.
The proposed TTCP will also be available to provide
the public an initial look at any future travel pattern
changes during construction.
CMA staff will work with the contractor and County
staff daily to provide the community with up-to-date
MOT information and insure the public is informed
about all aspects of the project. CMA will attend the
weekly construction meetings to insure that upcoming
activities are relayed to the public. In addition, CMA
will have phone contact with Collier County staff and
the contractor 24 hours per day. This provides staff
the ability to resolve issues immediately and “get the
word out” to the public via the media in the event
that unanticipated traffic or utility disruptions occur.
Many techniques have been used in the past by our
team including project post cards, newsletters, point-
of-contact cards, variable message boards, local
media, and one-on-one contact.
A 24-hour “hotline” will be provided to answer
questions from the public. The contractor and all
subcontractors will be required to carry point-of-
contact cards that will be given to the public and
the media in the field directing them to contact CMA
for information concerning the project. This allows the
contractors to continue working uninterrupted and
will insure that the public and media are receiving
the most timely and accurate information. Politically
sensitive issues will be immediately brought to the
attention of County staff.
If any utility disruptions occur on the project, the
public will be informed through the media and by
door-to-door flyers. In addition, CMA will be available
to make presentations to homeowners associations
and civic organizations to provide project updates.
Design Quality Assurance/Quality
Control
Stantec’s design team is committed to provide
the highest quality construction documents and
technical reports. We continually seek out ways to
improve our quality assurance and quality control
processes, and are fully committed to implement the
following on this project.
All plans, technical reports, and supporting
calculations will be reviewed for completeness and
accuracy by a qualified peer not directly involved
in the design. Documentation will include placing a
QC Control stamp on each plan sheet or document
and indicating each element checked, markup
comments, EOR review, acceptance, comment
implementation, and backcheck. A certification
letter that QC procedures have been followed will
accompany each deliverable to the county and full
QA/QC documentation will be made available upon
request.

with County and FDOT projects and will be the Project
QC Officer. He will be assigned responsibility for
managing the QC process and is familiar with Collier
County’s preferred design policies and practices.
Construction Approach
The successful completion of the Golden Gate
Boulevard reconstruction project, as with any
project which presents unique and demanding
challenges, will require a construction team that
has the knowledge, experience, and dedication of
all the workers on site to meet the overall goals and
expectations of Collier County and the traveling
public. The Ajax/Stantec Team has the project
management team that is fully committed and ready
to design and construct the Golden Gate Boulevard
project. The success of our team depends on our
people – their efficient and effective implementation
of our design and construction processes.
We commit to developing the Ajax “culture” where
every employee knows the standards and procedures
for safety, quality, environmental protection, traffic
control, production, stakeholder partnering, and
schedule. Our culture will reduce impacts and
provide positive benefits by utilizing simple and proven
procedures for the complex set of challenges in
successfully delivering the Golden Gate Boulevard
reconstruction project.
Ajax has committed to partner with Guymann
Construction (Storm Drainage and Rock Excavation)
and Thomas Marine Construction (Miller Canal Bridge
Widening) for the sole purpose of supplying Collier
County with the best team of local contractors.
Site Conditions/Environmental Permit
Compliance
Based on our review of the concept plans and the
project site conditions, the presence of limestone
will exert significant influence on the methods used
to construct the project. With limited areas to retain
dewatering water on-site, short-term treatment
methods may be necessary in order to meet water
quality standards prior to discharge.
The Ajax/Stantec Team has partnered successfully with
Big Cypress Basin and SFWMD field staff on dewatering
permit acquisition and compliance within similar
limestone formation on past and current projects such
as US-41 D/B, iROX, I-75 widening from Luckett Road
to SR 80, and the adjacent Golden Gate Blvd 4-Lane
Design Build Project.
Our team is committed to diligently maintaining silt
fence and turbidity barriers indicated in the SWPPP
concept plans.
The approach for permitting and permit compliance
is two-fold. First, the project team will implement
the pre-construction agency notification, species-
specific surveys (tortoise and fox squirrel), and
contractor environmental education that are required
as conditions of the existing state and federal
environmental permits.
In the event that gopher tortoises or active fox squirrel
nests are found within the project limits, they will
be addressed in accordance with existing permit
conditions and/or County direction. Coordination with
the Division of Historical Resources will be conducted
prior to construction activities associated with the
project.

Workzone Safety
The Ajax/Stantec Team attitude endeavors to
produce this project with:
• no recordable vehicular crashes
• no lost time crashes
• no incidents with the traveling public, local
businesses, and in the neighborhoods
throughout the work area
Safety starts with preparing our project specific Safety
Plan, Preactivity Work Plans, training before and
during operations, and regular safety inspections. The
work plans will include discussions regarding potential
safety hazards and established correction procedures.
The results will be communicated with each worker in
every crew to enhance their ability to work safely prior
to starting an operation.
Mandy Kustra, our Safety Manager, will work with our
project personnel to maintain the safety culture for
our employees, subcontractors and the public in our
work areas. Major Traffic Control Plan activities will
be presented ahead of implementation to ensure
that we minimize the inconvenience to the residents
of Golden Gate Estates, and then proactively
communicate to the public in coordination with the
County.
Emergency Preparedness
Safety is a priority for the Ajax/Stantec team. We
are familiar with Southwest Florida and the potential
for hurricanes and that Golden Gate Boulevard is
an evacuation route. Ajax will design a hurricane
evacuation plan with the TTCP in mind should the
need arise and traffic flow will not be impeded. Big
Cypress Elementary school is an evacuation shelter
and is located on Golden Gate Boulevard between
Weber Boulevard and 31st St SW. Golden Gate Fire
Control and Rescue District Station 71 is located at 100
13th St SW.
Ajax will ensure access is maintained for these
sites during an event and will incorporate it into our
emergency plan.
Structures Construction
The Ajax/Stantec Team will subcontract the Miller
Canal Bridge Widening work to Thomas Marine
Construction which originally constructed the
existing two lane bridge. Thomas Marine’s insight
will guarantee there will be no learning curve when
construction begins.
Temporary Concrete Barrier Wall “Type K” will be
installed for protection. Cranes will be erected on both
banks to access the required pile driving, substructure,
and beam placement work. Temporary construction
mats will be utilized for cranes to have access to the
intermediate piers and form work installation.
Existing bridge removal will be accomplished utilizing
conventional methods in conjunction with suitable
equipment (lift cranes, concrete saws, mechanical/
hydraulic/pneumatic breakers) along with approved
rigging. Structure debris will be removed for further
processing and recycling. Piles will be pre-drilled
through the upper limestone (15 to 25 feet) to
minimize vibrations on the existing bridge and to
avoid damaging piles during pile driving operation.
Upon review of the previously developed plans, the
following observations were made.:
• The bridge is setup nicely for widening.
• Construction joints have been placed at
locations which would not increase stress
concentrations or warping of the bridge deck
that could compromise long term durability.
• All barrier wall and reinforcement removal
locations are located underneath the new
raised median on the bridge ensuring no
compromise in integrity and durability.
• Existing bridge railing will be upgraded in
accordance with the RPS requirements
The Ajax Team does not envision any issues during
bridge widening construction.
Roadway Construction
Once Construction NTP is issued, the Ajax/Stantec
Team will accelerate clearing and grubbing using
the previously approved SFWMD permit 11-01770-P.
This early work will allow UAO’s ample undisturbed
timeframe to relocate utilities in conflict while the
remaining roadway and drainage plans are prepared
and approved.

or purchased and hauled in by on-road tri-axles.
Loaders, bull dozers and graders will rough grade the
embankment to subgrade depth within roadway
sections and within 0.25 feet of final grade where
drainage will be laid. Ajax will use Automated
Machine Grade Technology to maximize production
and reduce construction time. These areas will be
redressed after drainage is installed.
The Ajax/Stantec Team intends to crush excavated
limestone and reuse as “sweetener” material in
order to meet LBR 40 for stabilization. Aggregate-
base limerock material will be purchased from an
FDOT-approved pit and laid and compacted in
accordance with FDOT specifications. Drop-offs in
the construction work zone will be minimized and
will be protected during non-active work periods
in accordance with FDOT Index 600. Temporary
concrete barrier wall will be used where drop offs
cannot be brought back within three inches in a
timely manner.
Asphalt Paving and Side Street Connections
With the exception of the project transitions, the
project is full depth reconstruction independent of
lane closure restrictions. These conditions lead to high
production mainline asphalt paving (800 to 1,200 tons/
shift). Shoulder pavement will be constructed with
mainline structural lifts. This practice will result in fewer
joints and a smoother ride. As an enhancement to
the project, the top lift friction course will be polymer
modified PG 76-22. Compared to the specified rubber
modified, the polymer modified PG 76-22 asphalt
additive is the superior product.
The friction course layer will be laid using Ajax’s
material transfer vehicle (MTV). The use of MTV has
been shown to improve quality and ride performance.
In an effort to minimize tack from being tracked
across side streets and into residential driveways, Ajax
will be spraying trackless tack on the base course and
between lifts.
Drainage Construction
The Concept Plans utilized deep wet pond
construction of up to 12 feet of excavation.
Construction of these deep wet ponds would require
excavating into natural limestone formations, possibly
puncturing the natural aquifer system, and requiring
excessive amounts of dewatering. Due to the difficult
and costly construction, our proposed design utilizes
shallower pond excavation and a shallower storm
drain systems while still meeting minimum pipe cover
requirements to provide the required treatment and
convey stormwater to the proposed outfall locations.
A similar approach was utilized in the adjacent project
with great success.
Construction Management Plan
The Ajax/Stantec Team understands an excellent
Construction Management Plan starts with strong
experienced leadership and this design-build project
requires not only skilled, dedicated people, but also
local experience and resources. Ajax, Guymann, and
Thomas Marine have extensive experience working in
the local area. Our proposed project staff has local
experience and good working relationships with each
other, as well as the local permitting agencies, utilities,
suppliers, and subcontractors.
The Ajax/Stantec Team will be led by Felipe Jaramillo,
PE, DBIA (Ajax Paving). Felipe is a Certified Design
Build Professional (DBIA) and has been managing
design-build teams since 2006 and been an active
leader of over $1 Billion dollars of Design Build work.
His experience gained from the I-75 iROX Design-Build,
US-41 Design-Build in Collier County, and the adjacent
Canal Outfall

Contractor’s Cooperation and Dispute History
It is a core principle of Ajax that all issues be resolved
at the lowest level possible. Our construction
professionals are empowered to make those
decisions that are within their discipline and are
commensurate with their experience. It is this simple
philosophy that has allowed Ajax to avoid litigation
procedures on 100% of the design-build projects
performed to date. When necessary, our project
staff will utilize the dispute resolution process and
strongly support partnering to build team unity and
avoid controversies. Additionally, at Ajax we take our
partnering obligation seriously; Ajax is a champion of
partnering from the beginning and uses partnering on
all projects.
Construction Issues and Solutions
Minimize Impacts to Adjacent Properties
The Team is very sensitive to the needs and concerns
of the adjacent businesses and property owners
in Golden Gate Estates. The key to addressing
their needs and concerns is early and continuous
communication throughout the duration of the
project. The Ajax/Stantec Team will notify property
owners well in advance of any operation that may
impact access to their business or home. These
notifications may include: alteration of their access
to Golden Gate Boulevard, reconstruction of their
driveways, as well as anticipated utility shut offs and
lane closures.
Implementation of Incident Management Plan (IMP)
The Ajax/Stantec Team recognizes the need to quickly
respond to unexpected events such as vehicular
crashes and other events within the work zone. We
also recognize the paramount importance that the
County places in minimizing impacts to the traveling
public during these kinds of work zone incidents. Upon
award, we will finalize our IMP, designed specifically
for this project, and be ready for implementation
before any construction takes place that impacts
travel lanes and shoulders. Major components of our
plan will include:
• Incident Management Stakeholder Identification
• Development of Incident Response Goals and
Objectives
• Strategies to Manage and Clear Travel Lanes
• Level of Response and Action Plan
• Plan Sharing with Agencies followed by regular
updates
The Ajax/Santec Team will have Incident Management
devices placed at a strategic location within
the project limits. These devices will be set aside,
protected, and maintained for use in emergency
incidents only and will include 50 dedicated
channelizing devices and an arrow board.
City of Naples Raw Water Line
The Ajax/Stantec Team is aware of the City’s 36”
raw water line and will adhere to the City of Naples
requirement to NOT utilize vibratory rollers within the
vicinity of the raw water line. We will also coordinate
with Justin Fredrikson with the City of Naples Utilities
Department before construction. In addition to the
requirements, the Ajax/Stantec Team noticed several
drainage boxes which might impact the raw water
line in the concept plans and we will construct custom
boxes which will eliminate this conflict.
Potential Dewatering Challenges
Installation of drainage features such as the pond
and drainage pipes will require dewatering of the
shallow aquifer system. A SFWMD Dewatering Permit
is required. Since construction duration will exceed
one year, the project will require a SFWMD Water Use
Permit for Individual Dewatering/Mining. Our certified
hydrogeologist will prepare the applications and
work with SFWMD to obtain the necessary permits.
We will work with SFWMD and the County to request
36” Raw Water Main

31Collier County RPS No. 17-7159 - STEP 2 Evaluation Criteria No. 1 Technical Proposal
Design-Build of the Golden Gate Boulevard 4-Lane Road Project
a Master Dewatering Permit, which allows minor
modifications to specific dewatering details without
the need to fully modify the permit. This approach will
represent a significant time savings for potential minor
modifications.
The majority of dewatering will be less than 10 feet
below grade and is expected to result in moderate
pumping with little challenge. However, in areas
where the permeable limestone is encountered at
shallow depth, we are prepared to increase pumping
rates, increase retention capacity of dewatering
effluent, and provide measures to reduce seepage or
flow (such as shoring).
Discharge of dewatering effluent may present
a challenge if withdrawal rates are increased
significantly. We are prepared to provide measures
for increased turbidity treatment (or retention) to
ensure any water discharged offsite meets turbidity
standards.
Construction Staging / Phasing Plan
Our team of design and construction engineers have
worked together to identify all critical construction
activities, including access points and staging
requirements, and we have developed a plan that
accommodates these activities with minimal impact
to the traveling public. For example, we will provide
detailed plans including acceleration/deceleration
lanes, temporary pavement, and additional signs
to safely guide construction trucks in and out of the
work zone areas. We will analyze temporary drainage
needs during all construction phases to ensure that
existing travel lanes are free of water ponding during
storms. Our TTC approach for the Golden Gate Blvd
project is divided into three primary construction
phases and one utility relocation phase. See Section
2.0 Project Schedule for a detailed description of the
three-phase sequence of construction.
Project Controls (Information Sharing, Budget,
Schedule, and Quality)
Information Sharing
Information sharing will be handled through the
Ajax web-based FTP site. This will serve as a central
repository for project information. The site will hold
the latest version of plans, specifications, requests for
information (RFIs), RFI Log, submittals, submittal log,
shop drawings, field changes, change directives,
meeting minutes, action item lists, project contact
list, project related correspondence, pay requests,
DBE Compliance reports, etc. Collier County will have
ready access to this information.
Budget and Schedule
The Ajax Team will provide Collier County a Cost
Loaded Primavera P6 construction schedule. The Ajax
Team views the CPM schedule not only as a Collier
County requirement, but also as a powerful tool to:
(1) evaluate past performance (2) prepare accurate
progress payment applications (3) plan manpower
and equipment needs (4) highlight potential issues
and (5) procure long lead materials. The Ajax
Team will review the CPM schedule with Project
Superintendents and Design Leads to ensure the
right people are aware of the time sensitive activities
and action is taken immediately to ensure an on-
time project. A proper CPM schedule also allows
us to coordinate and forecast activities, evaluate
the project’s critical path and material needs while
simultaneously providing the Collier County with a
clear understanding of our intended work flow.
Construction Quality Assurance/Quality Control
The Ajax/Stantec Team is committed to the
production of quality deliverables, free of errors and
omissions. Quality is a team effort and begins with
excellent staff experience. Design Quality control will
be led by 40 year design veteran Stephen Nichols. He
will oversee the design QC process and will work with
our design project manager, Phil Menke, to assign
appropriate quality control personnel.
The Construction QA/QC Manager will be John
Savage with CQC testing for paving performed
by Ajax and other materials by a qualified testing
company. John will ensure Quality Control
Procedures are in place, the objectives of the QA/
QC processes are clearly defined and documented,
the personnel with relevant technical skills are
available, the production environment is compatible
with the contract requirements, updates and
improvements to the production process, including
checking, auditing, and corrective actions are
identified, and the verification of the quality process
occurs throughout the production process.

Innovative Value-Added Design and Construction Features
Elimination of the outfall
required East of Everglades
Boulevard to the Faka Union
Canal
Our design team has been working on modifications to the drainage
system to reduce or eliminate the need for the costly outfall to Faka
Union Canal. Our plan is to construct interim drainage ponds within
the existing right-of-way along the transition to existing roadway. We
will only need to treat the transition area as all of the drainage along
Everglades was routed to Pond 5. Ajax has access to some extremely
well drained sands that we will replace in the border areas along
the connection to the existing. This will ensure the ponds recover in
the 72-hours required by SFWMD and maintain the pre-construction
runoff quantities to the east. This will eliminate the need for Pond 6
and improvements to the roadside ditch/sidedrains.
Shallow Wet Detention
The concept plans were permitted in 2010 under the previous
SFWMD Basis of Review in which there was a minimum depth
recommendation of 25% to 50% of the wet detention area be
deeper than 12 feet. This depth criteria has been eliminated with the
new Statewide Environment Resource Permit process, therefore we
recommend a pond depth that provides sufficient pond volume for
nutrient reduction, but minimizes rock excavation.
Improved Pavement Design
The Ajax/Stantec Team proposes to deviate from the original
concept pavement design and match the adjacent project
pavement of 12.0” Type B Stabilization, Optional Base Group 12, 2.5”
TL-C Superpave, & 1.0” of FC-9.5 TL-C w/ PG 76-22. Use of the polymer
modified Friction Course is an enhancement over the specified
rubber modified asphalt.
36” Raw Water Main Conflict
Our design team will evaluate each potential conflict with the City
of Naples’ 36” raw water main on a location-by-location basis in
conjunction with the City utilizing SUE data to determine “best fit”
design solutions. Alternative designs to the special inlet detail shown
in the 60% plans include utilizing flume type curb inlets that would
avoid placing a drainage structure in close proximity of the raw
water main.
We also recommend considering casting in place a shallow manhole
structure with elliptical pipe over the existing water line in lieu of the
Type V inlet depicted in the 60% plans that falls within the bike lane
and will be difficult to construct while protecting the 36” WM.
Additional Security at the Miller
Canal Boat Ramp
As an added value to Collier County and Big Cypress Basin (BCB),
The Ajax/Stantec Team will propose to install a FDOT Security Fence
with a Gate at the Miller Canal Boat Ramp. On the adjacent project,
we worked with Collier County and BCB to install these additional
security features at no additional cost.
The following chart provides an overview of the design and construction features that the Ajax/Stantec Team is
planning as value-added ideas for this section of Golden Gate Boulevard.

Innovative Value-Added Design and Construction Features
Driveway Coordination with
County and Residences
The Team understands how the driveway permitting process works
for Collier County and will stay plugged in with the County to reduce
downtime and potential change to driveways. Our manager will
coordinate with the right-of-way personnel to provide input into the
processing of driveway layout. This will reduce coordinate time and
potential driveway rework.
Mailbox Relocations We will ensure that all mailboxes are relocated around the mail
carrier so deliveries are uninterrupted.
4’ Bicycle Lane During
Construction
The Concept Plans do not address maintenance of bicycle traffic.
As a value added enhancement, we propose to maintain minimum
four-foot wide temporary bicycle lanes throughout construction.
During Phase 1, channelizing devices will be positioned to allow
unobstructed use of paved shoulders. During Phase 2, the new
sidewalk and eastbound paved shoulder will be available for bicycle
use. Additional temporary pavement is needed to provide a bicycle
lane adjacent to the temporary westbound lane.
Design/Construction Integration
through Co-Location
The Ajax/Stantec Team will co-locate Felipe Jaramillo, PE, DBIA
(Construction Design-Build Coordinator), with our design team to
enable constructability reviews throughout the design phase and
not solely at the phase submittals. These reviews will be an important
topic of discussion during regular project coordination meetings
and offer opportunities for our Design Team and Construction Team
key members to provide input on functionality, constructability,
economics, and most importantly, conformance to the project
design criteria.
Curb Ramp Lighting at the
intersection of Everglades Blvd
The concept plans do not address safety lighting at the new
Everglades Blvd intersection and studies have shown that safety is
increased when intersection lighting is present. As a value added
enhancement, we propose to install a LED light pole at each curb
ramp.
Team Building Partnering
Meetings
The Ajax/Stantec Team believes in partnering. As a value added
enhancement, we propose to dedicate our management staff and
key subcontractors to attend two facilitated partnering meetings with
Collier County staff and affected UAO’s. These partnering meetings
are down to basics working sessions that explore all stakeholders
requirements and concerns and result in proactive methods that
avoid stumbling blocks. Partnering will start before design kickoff and
continue throughout the contract.

RE: RPS No. 17-7159 Design-Build of Golden Gate Boulevard 4-Lane Road Project from
West of 20th Street East to East of Everglades Boulevard
Dear Ms. Colon and Selection Committee Members:
Ajax Paving Industries of Florida, LLC (Ajax), in association with Stantec Consulting Services Inc. (Stantec) –
The Ajax/Stantec Team, is excited to submit this response to provide design-build services for the design and
construction of Golden Gate Boulevard from West of 20th Street to East of Everglades Boulevard in Collier
County. We have assembled a team of design and construction professionals with extensive experience on
similar design-build contracts including the adjacent project on Golden Gate Boulevard from Wilson Blvd. to
18th Street. They will provide the resources, reputation, and understanding to deliver a quality product on an
accelerated schedule.
The Ajax/Stantec Team successfully designed and permitted the adjacent segment on time and will
achieve substantial completion October 2017 and final completion November 2017. We are proposing
to utilize the same team for this next phase. This will ensure no learning curve and provide Collier County
with a trusted proven team. In fact, the Ajax/Stantec Team worked with Collier County staff and submitted
an Unsolicited Proposal to construct this referenced project. Ultimately, the unsolicited proposal was not
accepted, however, the experience gained from that proposal will be utilized in this pursuit and will benefit
Collier County. The Ajax/Stantec Team knows this project better than anyone else.
Ajax is an American-owned, privately held firm with offices and asphalt plants located near the project
corridor in Southwest Florida. Ajax will serve as the design build firm and point of contact for Collier
County and will manage all Team activities.
Stantec, with local strength, knowledge and relationships in Collier County since 1956, will serve as
the lead design consultant, providing project management for all engineering related tasks, including
roadway design, bridge, signalization, signing and marking, permitting, survey and SUE services.
In preparation for this RPS, the Ajax/Stantec Team has reviewed the current project documentation and our
unsolicited proposal. We believe that the drainage design and construction, utility coordination/relocation,
and an accelerated schedule to minimize local impacts will guide and control our design decisions. We will
also work to incorporate all of the stakeholders commitments and permitting conditions on this project.
We look forward to continuing our working relationship with the County staff to complete the widening of
Golden Gate Boulevard.
Sincerely,
Ajax Paving Industries of Florida, LLC

Staffing to address all facets of project
The Ajax/Stantec Team consists of seasoned
veteran highway constructors and highway design
professionals. This team has worked together on the
previous segment of Golden Gate Blvd. and other
projects throughout Southwest Florida. We have
delivered quality products to Collier County and
will continue to do the same on this project.
Having solved many of the unforeseen challenges
on the adjacent Golden Gate Blvd. project, we
are ready to apply this knowledge base to reduce
impacts to the project schedule and local residents.
To begin, we will:
• review and bring project up to date to the
current Collier County standards
• review profile against the current hurricane
evacuation standards to make sure the
minimum elevations along to roadway profile
are met
• review minimum sign sizes to meet the current
MUTCD standards
• analyze signalization concept to meet current
design criteria
Organized to deliver project
The Ajax/Stantec Team has thoroughly reviewed
the RFP package and related documents and
understands the proposed roadway improvements
are needed to accommodate the estimated
design year (2030) traffic projections of 64,000 ADT.
The project is approximately 1.7 miles of 4-lane
reconstruction of Golden Gate Boulevard from west
of 20th Street to east of Everglades Boulevard which
includes the transition to existing. The project will
include widening of the new Miller Canal Bridge.
We have a dedicated team for both the design
and construction of the project. Phil Menke will
lead the design team. We will pick up where
the preliminary concept plans left off and carry
them forward to “Ready for Construction” plans.
This includes all necessary utility coordination/
clearing, permits and design coordination. Along
the way, Stantec will schedule reviews by the
Ajax construction team to vet design ideas to
improve the project delivery and avoid potential
constructability issues. We will continue the use of a
critical path method (CPM) schedule and submittal
review tracking chart that was developed for the
previous project and proved successful in delivering
the project on schedule.
12Collier County RPS No. 17-7159
Design-Build of the Golden Gate Boulevard 4-Lane Road Project
Knowledge and experience with local construction and regulatory conditions
Miller Canal Crossing/Boat Ramp
This project is regulated from an environmental
stand point by South Florida Water Management
District (SFWMD) and is within the Big Cypress Basin
(BCB). The Ajax/Stantec Team understands the
County’s objective for the design-build team to
complete final plans for the 90% 4-lane bridge
design documents already established for the
project. Right-of-way permitting with SFWMD BCB
will involve;
• confirming design parameters that include
establishing the design cross section of the
Miller Canal
• confirming DHW clearances to the low
member of the widened bridge
• coordinating access requirements including
the boat ramp
Early coordination with BCB to get approval on
the geometric layout of the ramp turnaround area
and ramp configuration will ensure permit approval
with no delays. We also anticipate continuing the
slope protection previously installed for the recently
constructed 2-lane bridge. The schedule critical
path also involves finalizing the plans to a point
where the environmental permit modifications can
be approved and notice to proceed given to the
contractor.
Driveway Ties/Complete Streets
With the right-of-way acquisition along the mainline
comes the need for Collier County to negotiate
driveway cures and approve connection permits.
The Ajax/Stantec Team knows this process and will
be proactive in coordinating with County staff on
the development of these agreements to make
sure the correct driveway geometry and location
is installed the first time. Driveways will be installed
at all properties and aprons will be installed at all
undeveloped properties as a minimum.
Complete Streets is a relativity new approach to the
development of roadways. Bike lanes, sidewalks,
and ADA curb ramps are all elements of this project.
Transit features are also an important feature along
this corridor. We have establish contacts with Collier
Area Transit (CAT) and will coordinate with the CAT
staff to make sure bus bays and bus stop hardware
meets with the agencies current criteria.
Utilities
We will provide early coordination with utilities so the
advanced relocations do not pose problems with
future construction activities. Key stakeholders are
utility owners with affected facilities. This include the
City of Naples’ 36” raw water main that will remain
in place along the north side of the roadway. We
will include the City of Naples Public Works staff in
all design and construction correspondence and
meetings regarding all issues that have the potential
to affect this facility. To avoid disturbance of the
water main, the use of vibratory rollers will not be
permitted along the new westbound roadway. We
will coordinate and take additional precautions
during construction of nearby drainage structures
and right turn lanes under which the 36” raw water
main is to remain.
Important to executing our design and construction
schedule is coordination with FP&L to obtain Early
Work authorization from the County to clear the
right-of-way and relocate utility poles to the north
right-of-way line. Special attention is needed to
make sure utility poles are not relocated to potential
driveway locations. Additional coordination will
be required with US Metro, CenturyLink, and
Comcast. We expect each company will either
36” Raw Water Main
13Collier County RPS No. 17-7159
Design-Build of the Golden Gate Boulevard 4-Lane Road Project
reattach overhead fiber optic cable, cable tv, and
telephone lines onto the new pole line or combine
facilities in a joint trench or shared duct bank.
Local Conditions/Environmental Permits
The concept plans were produced in 2010. The
existing conditions along the roadway have
most likely changed in some areas. We will do a
windshield review of the project corridor and make
sure new topographic data is collected in areas
that have changed and could affect the project.
Based on our review of the concept plans and the
project site conditions, the presence of limestone
will exert significant influence on the methods used
to construct the project. For example, dewatering
within the limestone formation will be difficult.
In order to set pipe invert elevations under wet
conditions, concrete pipe will be preferred over
metal, PVC, or HDPE options.
With limited areas to retain dewatering water
on-site, short-term treatment methods may be
necessary in order to meet water quality standards
prior to discharge. Ajax has partnered successfully
with Big Cypress Basin and SFWMD field staff on
dewatering permit acquisition and compliance
within similar limestone formation on past and
current projects such as US-41 D/B, iROX, Golden
Gate Boulevard from Wilson Boulevard to 18th
Street, and I-75 widening from Luckett Road to
SR 80. Keep storm drainage pipe and ponds as
shallow as possible is a key to making installation
of the drainage system possible and to staying on
schedule.
Our team is committed to diligently maintaining
the double row silt fence and turbidity barriers
indicated in the SWPPP. We also understand ERP
special conditions related to coordinating with
FWCC and USFWS regarding protected species and
habitat associated with the eastern indigo snake,
gopher tortoise, and Big Cypress fox squirrel.
The following environmental services will be
required to update the permitting for this project:
• Prior to construction, a Notice of Work
Commencement will be submitted to South
Florida Water Management District (SFWMD)
and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
(USACE). The Standard Eastern Indigo Snake
Protection Measures will be implemented
and submitted to USACE.
• Modifications to the Environmental Resource
Permit (ERP) will be prepared and submitted
to SFWMD, if required.
• An ERP permit extension will be submitted to
SFWMD if required.
• No modifications to the USACE permit are
anticipated.
• A National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) permit will be prepared
and submitted to the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP).
• Coordination with the Division of Historical
Resources will be conducted regarding
potential archaeological surveys required for
impacts areas associated with the project.
• Prior to construction, listed species surveys
will be performed by Stantec within
road R-O-W impacts areas and selected
stormwater pond sites. Per the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) Biological Opinion
dated May 26, 2016 and based on previous
coordination with FWC through SFWMD,
pedestrian surveys will include searching for
evidence of gopher tortoise, Eastern indigo
snake, Florida bonneted bat, Big Cypress
fox squirrel, wood stork, Everglades snail
kite, Everglades mink, and red-cockaded
woodpecker. Coordination regarding listed
species survey findings will be coordinated
with the permitting agencies. Should active/
potentially active gopher tortoise burrows
be located within impact areas, Stantec’s
FWC Gopher Tortoise Authorized Agents
will permit and supervise the excavation
of burrows and relocation of tortoises, if
required.
• Wetland boundaries that occur within the
project area will be reviewed in the field.
Wetland boundaries will be determined in
accordance with Chapter 62-340 Florida
Administrative Code (FAC), the Corps of
Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual
14Collier County RPS No. 17-7159
Design-Build of the Golden Gate Boulevard 4-Lane Road Project
(TRY-87-1), and the Regional Supplement to
the Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation
Manual: Atlantic and Gulf Coast Plain Region.
Our past experience in the area has found that we
need to protect and maintain access to existing
National Geodetic Survey Data markers. Two exist
within the proposed project limits. The markers are;
PID: DG7297 name = X 583 at the NE corner of 22nd
Street, and PID: DG7330 name = L 583 at the NE
corner of Everglades Boulevard.
Maintenance of Traffic
Our safe and efficient MOT plan consists of two
major and one minor phases of construction.
• Phase 1 will construct the new eastbound
roadway while traffic is maintained on the
existing roadway.
• Phase 2 will construct the new westbound
lanes with traffic shifted onto the newly
constructed eastbound lanes.
A minor third phase will consist primarily of
temporary pavement removal, median clean-up,
and final pavement markings. Our MOT Plan will
maintain bicycle and pedestrian traffic.
During Phase 1 construction, we propose to
maintain pedestrian traffic at side street locations
including safe access to school bus stops. During
Phase 2 construction, the new sidewalk will be
opened to pedestrians. Newly constructed bus stop
pads will also be put into service during Phase 2
construction. Our team will take extra precaution
to ensure the safety of pedestrians, the traveling
public, and our workforce.
During construction, two-week look-aheads
furnished at weekly progress meetings will provide
the County with information on scheduled activities,
with particular attention on the schedule for
lane closures. We will work with Collier County
to post Road Alert Updates via the County’s
Communication & Customer Relations website.
Commitment to team collaboration
Over the years, the Ajax/Stantec Team has
developed strong relationships with Collier County
staff, the construction team, and the design team.
We have all worked well together in the past to
solve problems and keep project schedules on
track. We have boots on the ground locally that are
ready to react immediately to resolve issues at the
lowest level possible. Design personnel are present
at bi-weekly construction progress meetings to help
Ajax and the County facilitate the progress of the
project.
During the design phase, we schedule periodic
independent construction reviews of the design to
avoid issues later during construction.
In addition to local staff, we provide remote
conferencing to any team member. The remote
conferencing was utilized by both project team
members and Collier County staff during the first
phase of Golden Gate Boulevard design-build. The
use of KMZ files has enhanced the effectiveness of
remote conferencing by converting current CAD
design files to a file that can be overlaid on internet
mapping platforms and facilitate realtime reviews
of the highway design.

extensive experience on similar projects to the 4-Lane Golden Gate Boulevard project that includes US 17 for
District 1 in Hardee County. US 17 was expanded from a 2-lane undivided highway to a 4-lane divided highway
in a similar TCP plan to this project. Also, Stantec completed the design on the US 301 Widening in Sarasota,
which was similar in nature as US 41 in that it involved significant utility relocations and required a permit
modification to incorporate changes in the drainage analysis/design. Our team is prepared to address the key
issues associated with this project. The table below represents our team’s relevant experience that include the
similar challenges we will address on this project.

Technical Considerations
We understand from our past project experience
on the adjacent Golden Gate Blvd. project and
the US-41 TCP, both with very similar scopes of work,
that a similar approach to this project will lead to a
successful and quality project.
We also know from the current design-build project,
Collier County has the Environmental Resource
Permit and US Army Corps of Engineers permit for
the complete six-mile segment. This will allow our
Team to expedite clearing/grubbing, and provide
early access to utility companies to relocate their
facilities once right of way is acquired. This inherent
benefit of the design-build process is a major factor
in the overall accelerated construction time.
Community Engagement
Our approach to navigating through the design
phase of this project will be to fully engage
project stakeholders. This will include involving the
public through initial public meetings followed by
conscientious response to concerns of individual
residents during the design and construction
phases.
We know that Collier County has been
communicating with the public through public
involvement workshops like the ones held for
the Golden Gate Area Master Plan. It is through
this type of communication that the public will
have buy-in for this road improvement project.
Advanced communication on modifications to
things like fences, irrigation systems, driveway
connections, landscaping, and septic/drainage
field systems are an important component of a
roadway corridor expansion project.
For our public involvement program, our team
includes Cella Molnar Associates to assist with
logistical support to include establishing and
maintaining mailing lists, assisting with notification
materials, and logging calls received on the
construction inquiry phone line. All public inquiries
will be immediately forwarded to the Construction
Project Manager followed by a phone call
response and written documentation within 24
hours.
Project Delivery
Scheduling
The Ajax/Stantec Team prides itself on the timely
delivery of services to our clients. Our approach
to building a successful project includes CPM
scheduling, proactive project management,
and partnering with Collier County. Examples
of aggressive schedules include Colonial Blvd
improvements original contract time of 150 days,
which was completed in 45 days.
The team will adhere closely to the CPM schedule.
We take time to accurately plan the activities
of our field personnel, subcontractors, and
subconsultants to precisely track and forecast
progress. Regular schedule updates will let the
entire Team know where we stand and what needs
to be accomplished next. At this time, we envision
the critical path flowing through RFC plans, utility
relocations, embankment, base, and road work.
Cost Control
Ajax plans to use conceptual estimating as another
tool to control cost during design development.
Our conceptual estimate will identify the major cost
elements of the project early and develop a system
of controls to monitor and manage them. Our
conceptual estimate will be updated after every
major design submission or scope decision.
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
The Ajax/Stantec Team is committed to the
production of quality deliverables, free of errors
and omissions. Quality is a team effort and begins
with excellent staff experience. Design quality
control will be led by 43-year design veteran
Stephen Nichols, PE. He will oversee the design QC
process and collaborate with Ajax’s construction
personnel to produce quality final design plans
and a Temporary Traffic Control Plan that promotes
maximum safety during construction for workers
and the traveling public.
The Construction QA/QC Manager will be John
Savage with asphalt paving CQC testing being
performed by Ajax and other materials by a
qualified testing company. John will ensure that
36Collier County RPS No. 17-7159
Design-Build of the Golden Gate Boulevard 4-Lane Road Project
quality control procedures are in place, the
objectives of the construction QA/QC processes
are clearly defined, and documented, the
personnel with relevant technical skills are available,
the production environment is compatible with the
contract requirements, updates and improvements
to the production process including checking,
auditing, and corrective actions are identified,
and the verification of the quality process occurs
throughout the production process.
Value Engineering
The Ajax/Stantec Team will pursue Value
Engineering proposals that bring innovation, cost
savings and improved safety to the project. For
example from the iROX project: Ajax constructed
additional bridge widening at Immokalee Road
and Hicks Crossings in order to eliminate the need
for costly interstate median crossovers.
Project Management Information System
(PMIS)
Construction Management will be handled through
the Ajax web-based FTP site. This will serve as a
central repository for project information. The site
will hold the latest version of plans, specifications,
requests for information (RFIs), RFI Log, submittals,
submittal log, shop drawings, field changes, change
directives, meeting minutes, action item lists, project
contact list, project-related correspondence, pay
requests, DBE Compliance reports, and public
complaint log. The Project Team, including County
staff, will have ready access to this information.
Minimization of Change Orders
The Ajax/Stantec Team plan to minimize change
orders or major schedule delays is based on true
transparency and collaboration. Being transparent
and encouraging open communication are two
core values of winning organizations. The Ajax
Team will be fully transparent and will collaborate
as a partner with Collier County, as we showed on
the adjacent Golden Gate Blvd 4-lane project.
This is the way Ajax does business, as proven by our
ability get projects complete early, engineering
solutions to decrease contract amounts thru cost
savings ideas, and openly discuss upcoming
potential issues.
Cost Savings Ideas (CSI)
In the past five years, Ajax has engineered solutions
which have reduced contract amounts allowing
owners to maximum their capital improvement
programs. These ideas resulted in decrease
cost without impairing essential functions and
characteristics such as safety, service, life, reliability,
economy of operation, ease of maintenance,
aesthetics and necessary standard design features.
See below for a table of approved CSI’s.
Promote Open Lines of Communication
Upon award, we will conduct a kickoff meeting
with Collier County to establish clear lines of
communication. A subsequent partnering
meeting will bring all team members together in
an open environment and set the groundwork of

transparency and collaboration required for this
project to be a success. Next, we will develop
a project-specific charter between the Collier
County, The Ajax Team and key stakeholders. This
document will outline the goals and commitments
of the partners.
Design and Construction Issues
On a project of this magnitude, challenges will
arise during design and construction. We will
immediately notify and collaborate with Collier
County to develop solutions for any challenges.
Additionally, our constructability review team, led
by Felipe Jaramillo, PE, DBIA, will draw upon his
expertise in construction phasing and techniques
to help clarify deliverables, minimize design
revisions, and avoid issues during construction.
Our goal will be to achieve transparency
through proactive planning, honest and open
communication, and sharing of information from all
partners.
Planning and Coordination with Collier
County
To support successful kickoff, the Ajax/Stantec
Team will develop a detailed schedule of
deliverables at the start of design. We will then
update and maintain this schedule throughout
the design and approval process. By encouraging
Collier County participation in design and
constructability task force meetings and over-the-
shoulder reviews, we will minimize submittal review
comments. During construction, we will develop
thorough work plans and look-ahead schedules to
minimize impacts and provide accurate information
to Collier County, stakeholders, and the public. We
will also conduct pre-work meetings and weekly
progress meetings.
Planning and Coordination with Local
Stakeholders
Coordination with Golden Gate Estates residents
will be absolutely critical to achieve a successful
project completion. Through work on the adjacent
project, Ajax is well aware of the requirements for
working on or around Golden Gate residents. Our
team’s strong knowledge of Collier County, CATS,
school bus routes, and emergency procedures,
will enable a seamless transition into the roadway
reconstruction work.
Coordination with environmental agencies
Our efforts early in design will facilitate timely
submittal of any permit modifications. Continued
diligence throughout construction using the Ajax
Team’s Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan will
ensure compliance.
UAO engagement
Detailed and in-depth utility coordination during
design will be instrumental to avoid schedule delays
during construction. We will develop open lines of
communication early and actively engage utility
companies during the design process to foster
their active participation and facilitate effective
cooperation, detailed planning, and collaborative
coordination.

Both Ajax and Stantec are entrenched in Southwest Florida with facilities located in Collier and Lee counties.
We are committed to staffing this project from our field office in Naples and with local personnel for the
duration of this project. The Ajax/Stantec Team offers:
• Local Offices. This makes scheduling of face-to-face meetings and site visits easier and quicker
because of smaller time blocks associated with staff travel.
• Local Support. Having local support staff to provide administrative, managerial, and logistical support
provides cost efficiency and more time dedicated to executing project task and developing solutions.
This is highly important during the construction phase.
• Local Knowledge. Living and working in Southwest Florida provides our Team with key market
knowledge of subcontractor availability and vendor pricing in additin to long-standing relationships
with utility owners and regulatory agencies.

Design-Build of the Golden Gate Boulevard 4-Lane Road Project
Day-to-day and On-site Information Collection and Distribution
The Ajax/Stantec Team’s approach to management and execution of this project centers around effective
coordination, co-locations, staff resources, and Ajax’s Project Management Information System (PMIS). Our
coordination plan started before project advertisement.
Coordination Plan
Effective coordination and full transparency are at the forefront of our goals. Our organizational
approach and coordination plan are key differentiators for project success. We will also leverage our
team’s long-term relationships with Collier County and major project stakeholders, including SFWMD/BCB
and the residents of Golden Gate Estates, to provide seamless project coordination.
Pre-advertisement
Phase
By holding weekly team meetings and communicating with Collier County Staff,
our team gained a full understanding of project requirements and critical issues.
Our intimate project knowledge gained by constructing the adjacent 4-Lane
Golden Gate Blvd Widening project has enabled us to provide meaningful
feedback to Collier County. We have generated potential solutions for critical
issues and started to develop creative, cost-effective design approach.
Proposal Phase
During the proposal phase, we will hold weekly discipline-specific task force
meetings as we continue to develop and refine our design solutions. Our
team will fully participate in project and utility pre-proposal meetings. Since
all members of our team are local, all meetings will be face-to-face. We will
continue to coordinate with local subcontractors and suppliers to confirm we
have full participation by MBE firms.
Design Phase
Design and preconstruction planning will be managed at Stantec’s Tampa
and Fort Myers offices. Stantec design staff, design management, and Ajax’s
Design Build Coordinator will be co-located at Stantec’ office to promote open
communication. Centralized design management will facilitate full compatibility
between the disciplines as well as overall project uniformity. To begin, a design
kickoff meeting, drainage and permit coordination meeting, and at least two
design work-shops will be scheduled. Regular team meetings will continue as we
finalize the plans and coordinate with Collier County staff, SFWMD/BCB, utilities,
and other key stakeholders. Constructability reviews, led by Felipe Jaramillo, and
design quality control checks will be completed on all packages.
Co-Location
To minimize design changes after kick-off, the Ajax/Stantec Team will co-locate Felipe Jaramillo, PE, DBIA
(Construction Design-Build Coordinator), with our design team to enable constructability reviews throughout
the design phase and not solely at the phase submittals. These reviews will be an important topic of
discussion during regular project coordination meetings and offer opportunities for our Design Team and
Construction Team key members to provide input on functionality, constructability, economics, and most
importantly, conformance to the project design criteria.
During the construction phase, Phil Menke, PE (Design Project Manager), will serve as a design coordinator.
He will be responsible for quickly answering RFIs, resolving additional questions and clarifications that may
arise, and attending construction meetings. This streamlined approach increases upfront coordination, but
will reduce backend changes.

Time Savings on Past Projects
The Ajax/Stantec Team prides itself on the timely
delivery of services to our clients. Our approach
to building a successful project includes CPM
scheduling, proactive project management,
and partnering with the owner. There is no better
proof of the value we place on schedule than our
past history. A summary of our recent schedule
performance is provided in the Work Experience
Tables. Examples of aggressive schedules include
Colonial Boulevard improvements, which were
completed in 45 out of 150 Days, iROX, which was
completed 150 days ahead of FDOT’s already
aggressive 1,150 day schedule, US-41 from SR 951 to
Greenway Road was completed in 750 out of 1,000
days, and I-75 from SR 951 to Golden Gate Parkway
which was completed in 389 out of 900 days.
Contractor’s Cooperation and Dispute History
It is a core principle of Ajax that all issues be
resolved at the lowest level possible. Our
construction professionals are empowered to make
those decisions that are within their discipline and
are commensurate with their experience. It is this
simple philosophy that has allowed Ajax to avoid
litigation procedures on 100% of the design-build
projects performed to date. When necessary, our
project staff will utilize the dispute resolution process
and strongly support the partnering process to build
team unity and avoid controversies. Additionally,
at Ajax we take our partnering obligation seriously;
Ajax was a champion of partnering from the
beginning and uses partnering on all projects.
