CONSIDERATIONS: On August 6, 2019, the Collier County Growth Management Department,
through its Transportation Engineering Division, issued RPS number 19-7632 requesting proposals from
professional engineering firms pre-qualified by the Florida Department of Transportation (“FDOT”) to
provide construction, inspection, and engineering services for the Project. The County sent out seven
thousand four hundred and eleven (7,411) notices of the RPS and interested firms downloaded eighty-
seven (87) RPS solicitation packages.
The County received seven (7) proposals by the September 13, 2019 deadline. The County found six of
the seven firms submitting proposals as responsive and responsible. The County concluded AE
Engineering, Inc., non-responsive and not responsible for submitting as a primary as well as a
subconsultant for another firm that submitted a proposal on this project. A selection committee met on
October 31, 2019 and, as described in Step 1 of the solicitation documents, scored each of the proposals
and shortlisted the following top four firms to move on to Step 2, oral presentations: AECOM Technical
Services, Inc., Hardesty & Hanover Construction Services, LLC., HighSpans Engineering, Inc., and
Johnson Engineering, Inc. Subsequently, Johnson Engineering withdrew prior to Step 2.
On November 12, 2019, the selection committee reconvened for the Step 2 oral presentations, following
which the committee ranked the remaining firms as follows:

INTRODUCTION
As requested by the Transportation Engineering Division (hereinafter, the “Division or Department”), 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 Consultants in accordance with the terms,
conditions and specifications stated or attached. The Consultant, at a minimum, must achieve the requirements of the Specifications or
Scope of Work stated.
Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) services have historically been added to the construction phase of transportation projects.
The County typically performs CEI services with either in-house forces or by outsourcing. CEI work involves providing oversight for
the County, ensuring that the contractor builds the project in reasonable conformity with the plans, specifications, and special provisions
for the Construction Contract. The CEI firm is the liaison between the County and the Contractor to observe the Contractor's work to
determine the progress and quality of the work. The CEI Consultant identifies discrepancies, reports significant discrepancies to the
County, and directs the Contractor to correct such observed discrepancies.
Historically, County departments have spent approximately 10% to 12% of the total construction contract for CEI services; however,
this may not be indicative of future buying patterns.
BACKGROUND
CEI services are required for the replacements of 11 existing timber pile Bridges east of State Route 29 that are functionally obsolete.
All the bridges are over drainage canals, and some have a permanent pool year round. There are six (6) bridges on Immokalee Road
(CR 846), four (4) on Oil Well Road (CR 858), and one (1) on Countyline Road (CR 858). Please see the attached location map. The
project will be let in three (3) separate bid packages, and the construction of each package will run concurrently.
The services include, but are not limited to administering the construction contract(s), providing inspections, monitoring, and material
sampling and testing. In addition, the services shall include monitoring off-site activities and fabricaton of structural elements, and
performing underwater inspections for active bridge construction projects. Monitoring and inspecting the Contractor's Work Zone
Traffic Control Plan and reviewing modifications to the Work Zone Traffic Control Plan, in accordance with the Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) procedures. Determining the acceptability of all materials and completed work items on the basis of either test
results or by verification of a certifiction.
TERM OF CONTRACT
County reserves the right to modify this scope during negotiations for budgetary reasons.
The contract term, if an award is made is intended to be for 972 days. The contract term, will commence one month before the
Contractors Contract Notice to Proceed is issued and end one month after the Contractor's Contract is terminated.
16.A.4.a
Packet Pg. 1217 Attachment: 19-7632 Solicitation (11144 : CEI- 11 Bridge Replacements)
Prices shall remain firm for the initial term of the awarded contract.
Surcharges will not be accepted in conjunction with this award, and such charges should be incorporated into the pricing structure.
DETAILED SCOPE OF WORK
1.0 PURPOSE:
This scope of services describes and defines the Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) services which are required
for contract administration, inspection, and materials sampling and testing for the construction projects listed below.

Exercise independent professional judgment in performing obligations and responsibilities under this Agreement. Pursuant to
Section 4.1.4 of the Construction Project Administration Manual (CPAM), the authority of the Consultant’s lead person, such
as the Senior Project Engineer, and the Consultant’s Project Administrator shall be identical to the Division’s Project Manager
and Construction Manager respectively and shall be interpreted as such.
Services provided by the Consultant shall comply with FDOT’s manuals, procedures, and memorandums. Such FDOT manuals,
procedures, and memorandums are found at the State Construction Office’s website.
On a single Construction Contract, it is a conflict of interest for a professional firm to receive compensation from both the
COUNTY and the Contractor either directly or indirectly.
Other projects developing within the geographical area of Collier County may be added at the Division’s discretion. The
Consultant must perform to the satisfaction of the Division’s representatives for consideration of additional CEI services.
3.0 LENGTH OF SERVICE:
The services for each Construction Contract shall begin upon written notification to proceed by the Division.
Track the execution of the Construction Contract such that the Consultant is given timely authorization to begin work. While
no personnel shall be assigned until written notification by the Division has been issued, the Consultant shall be ready to assign
personnel within two weeks of notification. For the duration of the project, coordinate closely with the Division and Contractor
to minimize rescheduling of Consultant activities due to construction delays or changes in scheduling of Contractor activities.
For estimating purposes, the Consultant will be allowed an accumulation of thirty (30) calendar days to perform preliminary
administrative services prior to the issuance of the Contractor's notice to proceed on the first project and thirty (30) calendar
days to demobilize after final acceptance of the last Construction Contract.

1. MULTIPLE PROJECTS: Our TEAM is
qualified to manage multiple projects at
once. This project will be let in three (3)
separate bid packages, and the construction
of each package will run concurrently. This
means we will be dealing with up to three (3)
different Contractors. The 3 packages will

#034841
C. Package C - Oilwell Road CR 858 Bridges
– #034837, #034838, #034839, and
#034840
2. EXPERIENCE ON SIMILAR PROJECTS:
HighSpans and staff have managed
contracts with multiple projects, including:
• FDOT I-75 Widening Collier and Lee
Counties (iROX), for which we were CEI
responsible for 24 bridges and three
contract numbers.
• FDOT I-75 Widening Charlotte and
Sarasota Counties, for which we were CEI
responsible for eight (8) bridges and
three contract numbers.
• Burnt Store Road widening, Lee County,
for which we were/are CEI responsible
for five (5) bridges and three contract
numbers.
The team members we propose worked on
these projects and proved their ability to
successfully complete a CEI Contract with
multiple projects and with multiple bridges.
3. BRIDGE REPLACEMENTS: Our TEAM is
uniquely qualified and able to perform CEI
for bridge replacement projects. HighSpans
was founded in Southwest Florida to
perform Bridge Engineering; our company
qualifications show that. Our Mission is:
Enhancing Safety
Enhancing Safety
Our Firm specializes in CEI for Bridge
Replacements and Bridge Design, and our
staff is cross-trained in both fields to ensure
that bridges and roadways are constructed
to be long-lasting, maintenance-free and
properly built. We are a dedicated, qualified
and experienced engineering firm that uses
technology to meet project demands and
requirements while maintaining long-
standing values of quality, management,
partnership & commitment.
The bridge type proposed for all 11 bridges
is the new Florida Slab Bridge (FSB). This is a
developmental standard by FDOT meant to
speed construction and to fill a need for a
bridge type that can efficiently fill the gap in
span lengths larger than cast-in-place slabs
can, but shorter than Florida-I Beams. This
innovative solution is a modification to
previous developmental standards that used
prestressed slabs with a fiber reinforced
overlay. The new FSBs utilize shrinkage
compensating concrete overlay in lieu of the
fiber reinforcement. Our TEAM has the
ability to successfully execute this newer
design standard because we have the
technical knowhow and experience with
similar projects. We performed CEI services
for the bridge replacement at 8th St. in
Golden Gate Estates, which is very similar
structural system to this project. We also
designed a system like this for the bridge
replacement of 117th St. in Marathon.

4. MAINTENANCE OF TRAFFIC: Our
TEAM’s ability to handle Maintenance of
Traffic is unmatched. Our approach to MOT
is to be clear with the Contractor that the
purpose of the Traffic Control Plan (TCP) and
its proper execution is to MAINTAIN traffic
thru the work zone, while protecting the
work crews and allowing us safe access to
the work. HighSpans is FDOT qualified to
design Traffic Control Plans, and all our key
personnel on this project have the Advanced
Maintenance of Traffic Certification. We
proved our ability to constantly maintain the
TCP while serving Collier County as CEI for
the Chokoloskee Bridge Replacement on
CR29. That project utilized a MOT scheme
very similar to the one proposed for the
eleven bridges; we used a temporary signal
to take traffic down to one lane – 2 way,
while we built half of the new bridge. Later
switched traffic and continued with the
signal to complete the project. The locals
and tourists alike found the temporary signal
easy to use, visibility was maintained, and a
backup power and signal was on-the-ready.
COLLIER COUNTY’S BEST INTEREST:
This team, specifically, has recent and
required experience working directly with
Collier County. Most recently, we
completed the Chokoloskee Bridge
Replacement project successfully, including
the emergency repairs for damage caused by
Hurricane Irma. We documented the work
in accordance with FEMA requirements to
maximize the extent to which the County
could request funds from the Federal
Government. We negotiated, and processed
for approval by the Board of County
Commissioners a Cost Savings Initiative that
saved over $1 Million dollars on this
important bridge project. During design
revisions, we insisted that only changes that
would improve the service life of the bridge
and minimize maintenance costs should be
approved and incorporated. As your
Consultant, our overall approach to the
project was to protect Collier County’s best
interest.
Following is a chart that details the extent of
our teams’ qualifications and certifications.

The proposed inspection staff for this project
has worked on several Collier County
projects in the past. Recently, HighSpans has
worked for you on the Verification Testing
for Golden Gate Boulevard Design Build
project, which required ZERO CEI change
orders. As noted, we recently completed the
CEI for the Chokoloskee Bridge Replacement
project. HighSpans has worked and is
continuing to work smoothly with Collier
County on projects to ensure a quality
product is constructed. Our team has many
years of experience successfully working
together to complete projects on time and
within budget. Other Similar Project
Experience includes the following:
CEI for Judge SS Jolley Bridge, FDOT, $25M,
Construction of the new parallel bridge span
over inter-coastal waterway to Marco Island.
HEI provided three senior bridge inspectors
in charge of all bridge construction.
Completed 2012.
Construction inspection for SR739 over
Seminole Gulf Rail Road, FDOT, $22M, HEI
provided CEI Sr. Bridge inspector for the
bridge over Seminole Gulf RR in Lee County.
This was one of the first bridges to utilize the
new Florida-I Beam prestressed beams.
CEI for iROX I-75 Widening Lee/Collier;
FDOT, $400M. HEI provided CEI services for
all 24 bridges and asphalt plant VT as well as
FHWA coordination for this 30-mile-long
interstate widening.
CEI SR 45 (US 41) from Alico Road to Daniels
Pkwy - The US 41 project provided for milling
and resurfacing of 4.2 miles of roadway from
Alico Road to Daniels Parkway, upgraded
signals at seven intersections, added
pedestrian lighting, added bus pads,
adjusted sidewalks, added pedestrian railing
where necessary, expanded islands for
pedestrian crossings, added ADA compliant
detectable warnings for pedestrian
crossings, provided bulb-out adjustment to
eliminate continuous right turn lanes and
acceleration lanes, added some new
destination signing, with special emphasis
on crosswalks, minor shoulder widening, and

I75 Caloosahatchee River Bridge - CEI
inspection for this $8 million, 2-year project
consisted of the replacement of the
Chokoloskee Bridge with a new wider
structure.
Golden Gate Estates, 8th Street Bridge Canal
Crossing - This project was in support of the
FDOT CEI Services for Fort Myers Operations
Center Contract, Golden Gate Bridge Canal
Crossing at 8th Street NE from Golden Gate
Blvd. to Randall Blvd. bridge and paving
project. Tasks included bridge inspection,
roadway and RCP drainage inspection and
density testing, also logbook review,
earthworks materials testing and recording,
and bridge concrete inspection and testing.
This project’s size and characteristics are
very similar to the 11 Bridge replacements.
Collier County staff visited the project to
gain perspective applicable to the 11
Bridges project.
Florida Slab Beam Bridges: Our TEAM is
experienced with the technical aspects of
the new Florida Slab Beam Bridges. The 8th
St. bridge is very similar, and so is the
superstructure we designed for the 117th St.
bridge replacement for the City of
Marathon. The Developmental Standard
carries the concept further to achieve longer
span lengths. A key aspect of the new
standard is the utilization of Shrinkage
Compensating Concrete. This type of
concrete prevents cracking of the deck,
which was a problem in the past. We
overcame that obstacle on our past projects
by using fiber reinforced concrete. The new
standard is easier to construct, especially in
remote areas like the ones for the 11
bridges. We used shrinkage compensating
concrete in the concrete filled FRP Arch
Bridge on the newly completed Skyplex Blvd
for Lee County Port Authority. Also, in
preparation for this proposal we visited a
Florida Slab Beam bridge currently under
construction in Tallahassee, the Weems
Road Extension Project, where we met with
FDOT Central Office personnel charged with
developing this new standard. Pictures

EVALUATION CRITERIA NO. 4: PROJECT APPROACH, WILLINGNESS TO MEET TIME AND BUDGET
REQUIREMENTS (20 Total Points Available) Limited to 7 pages total.
This Contract will have three simultaneous project packages, shown below in the map provided
in the RPS. Our approach will be to assign our management staff (Sr. PE, PA, CSS, Lead Sr.
Inspector) oversee all three, and we’ll provide specific inspectors to each package. This
approach will ensure uniformity of Contract Administration over all three packages and will give
the Collier County PM one key point of contact to quickly communicate project issues.
The resources available for this project are listed in the location tab. Personnel will be increased
or decreased based on the Contractor(s) schedules. This will manage the CEI budget and prevent
us from requesting Change Orders. We did this successfully on the Chokoloskee Bridge Project.
A Conceptual Schedule for the project follows on the next page.
Material sampling and testing will be by our own in-house laboratory, which is FDOT prequalified
for roadway and bridge construction materials.
In addition, the services
shall include monitoring
off-site activities and
fabrication of structural
elements, our staff is
qualified for precast
prestressed yard
inspection.
Underwater inspections
for active bridge
construction projects will
be performed by a
subconsultant approved
by the County.
Monitoring and
inspecting the
Contractor's Work Zone
Traffic Control Plan and
reviewing modifications
to the Work Zone Traffic
Control Plan, in
accordance with the
Florida Department of
