Agenda 01/28/2020 Item #16C 3 (Contract #19-7605 Quality Enterprises USA, Inc./Q. Grady Minor & Associates, Inc.)01/28/2020
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the selection committee’s rankings for Request for Professional
Services No. 19-7605, “Design-Build of Immokalee Road, Logan Boulevard, and Vanderbilt Beach
Road New 24-inch Force Main Project,” and authorize staff to begin negotiations with the top-
ranked team of Quality Enterprises USA, Inc./Q. Grady Minor & Associates, Inc., so that staff can
bring a negotiated contract back for the Board’s consideration at a future meeting.
OBJECTIVE: To approve selection committee rankings and authorize staff to begin contract
negotiations with the top-ranked design-build team to secure design and construction services for the
Immokalee Road, Logan Boulevard and Vanderbilt Beach Road New 24-inch Force Main Project.
CONSIDERATIONS: To alleviate the conveyance constraint of the 12-inch force main along
Immokalee Road, the 2014 Public Utilities Master Plan called for the construction of a 24-inch force main
from the Heritage Bay Master Pump Station (“MPS” 167) west along Immokalee Road then south along
Logan Boulevard to MPS 104 located on Vanderbilt Beach Drive, just east of Logan Boulevard. This
also allows for diverting wastewater flows to various wastewater treatment plants and allows for
maintenance of the County's aging force main system. Additionally, this project will allow for the
flexibility to divert wastewater flows to various wastewater treatment plants including the future
Northeast County Water Reclamation Facility and the existing South County Water Reclamati on Facility.
In order to initiate construction before developments were constructed, various work orders were issued
to fixed term underground utility contractors for the installation of 4,500 feet of force main from Plateau
Road to the west. (See Attachment 1 for the Project Map.)
The proposed force main will begin at the termination of the existing force main and continue west in the
Immokalee Road corridor. It will then proceed south on Logan Boulevard to Vanderbilt Beach Road,
then east a short distance to MPS 104, approximately 19,000 feet of 24-inch force main. The project also
includes the upsizing of approximately 1,400 feet of an existing 8-inch wastewater force main along
Logan Boulevard from the Logan Blvd. Bridge at Immokalee Road and north to Treeline Drive.
This design-build project is consistent with the proposed scope of work under Project No. 70233, “Logan
Boulevard FM (Immokalee Rd to VBR),” and is also consistent with the FY2020 Budget approved by the
Board of County Commissioners (“Board”) on September 19, 2019. The notice of recommended award,
final rankings, solicitation and proposal are included respectively as Attachments 2 through 5.
The scope of work for this project includes design, permitting and construction of a 24 -inch, bi-
directional, wastewater force main along Logan Boulevard between Immokalee Road and Vanderbilt
Beach Road.
On May 6, 2019, the Procurement Services Division released notices for Request for Professional
Services (“RPS”) No. 19-7605, Step 1, design-build of Immokalee Road, Logan Boulevard and
Vanderbilt Beach Road New 24-inch Force Main Project, by sending out 29,075 notifications, resulting in
interested firms downloading 193 solicitation packages. The County advertised the RPS in conformance
with the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act’s, Fla. Stat. 287.055 subsection (9)(c), competitive
proposal selection process.
The County received six proposals by the June 20, 2019 deadline. Staff found all six firms responsive and
responsible. A selection committee met on July 30, 2019, and, as described in step 1 of the solicitation
documents, scored each of the proposals and shortlisted the following top three firms to move on to step
2, oral presentations: Quality Enterprises USA, Inc., Garney Construction, and David Mancini and Sons,
Inc.

On August 12, 2019, the Procurement Services Division released Step 2 of RPS No. 19-7605 (Technical
Proposals/Presentations/Guaranteed Maximum Price (“GMP”)) to the three shortlisted firms. All three
firms submitted proposals by the October 22, 2019 due date. On December 10, 2019, the selection
committee met to review and score the technical proposals, observe presentations and open the firms’
GMP. At the end of that meeting, the selection committee ranked the firms as follows:

David Mancini and Sons, Inc. 126 $8,532,800 50 176.0 3
Quality Enterprises USA, Inc.’s total guaranteed maximum price is $9,230,000. For overall ranking
including technical approach and presentation, Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. scored 238.9 points, Garney
Construction scored 192.4 and David Mancini and Sons, Inc., scored 176.00. Although David Mancini
and Sons, Inc.’s GMP was the lowest, the selection committees’ ranking is based on the criteria for the
evaluation of the competitive proposal, including its review of the technical proposals and observation of
the presentations. Here, price is not the only factor; price, technical and design aspects of the public
construction project were all relevant evaluation criteria weighted for this project. Based on the selection
criteria, the committee determined Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. the highest ranked to design-build this
project. Subject to the Board’s approval of this recommendation, staff will begin negotiating a final
proposed agreement to arrive at terms including but not limited to items such as the possibility of direct
material purchase savings, the progress schedule, owner’s allowances, and a completion date, so that a
proposed agreement can be brought back for the Board’s consideration.
Staff asks the Board to approve the selection committee’s rankings for RPS No. 19-7605, “Design-Build
of Immokalee Road, Logan Boulevard and Vanderbilt Beach Road New 24-inch Force Main Project,"
authorize staff to enter into negotiations with the top-ranked team, Quality Enterprises USA, Inc./Q.
Grady Minor & Associates Inc., and, if an agreement cannot be reached with that firm, to pursue
negotiations with the remaining firms in ranked order, and ultimately bring a negotiated contract back for
the Board’s consideration at a future meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with this action; however, the submitted
guaranteed maximum price of the number one team is $9,230,000. After negotiation, the funding is
available in the Fiscal Year 2020 capital budget approved by the Board on September 19, 2019. The
source of funding is the Waste Water User Fee Capital Fund (414).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This project meets current Growth Management Plan
standards to ensure the adequacy and availability of viable public facilities and to remain in compliance
with all regulatory programs.

BACKGROUND
The Engineering and Project Management Division (EPMD) of the Public Utilities Department (PUD) is soliciting Request for
Professional Services (RPS) proposals to select a Design-Build team to design and build a new 24-inch HDPE force main along
Immokalee Road then south along Logan Boulevard to MPS 104 located on Vanderbilt Beach Drive.
This project begins approximately 170-feet east of Rose Boulevard on the north side of the Cocohatchee Canal and proceeds west to
Logan Boulevard, south on Logan Boulevard to Vanderbilt Beach Road, and east on Vanderbilt Beach Road to Master Pump Station
104.
The proposed force main will be installed to increase the capacity of the existing wastewater system along Immokalee Road. It shall
be capable to transport wastewater flows in multiple directions including, but not limited to, 1) directing flow from the Heritage Bay
Master Pump Station (HBMPS) to MPS 104, MPS 103 or MPS 107; 2) directing flow from MPS 104 to the Heritage Bay Master

Pump Station; or 3) directing flow from the Heritage Bay Master Pump Station to the North County Water Reclamation Facility
(NCWRF). Existing flow along Immokalee Road is directed to MPS 107 or MPS 103. The flow from the Orange Tree Service Area
will be directed to the HBMPS on Plateau Road and re-pumped to either MPS 103, MPS 107 or MPS 104.
This background describes the scope of work, the responsibilities of the Design-Build (DB) team and available plans and reports
associated with this proposed project. This information is being provided to assist with the preparation of a RPS package for the
design and preparation of construction plans and special provisions for this capacity expansion project.
Immokalee Road, Logan Boulevard, Vanderbilt Beach Road Force Main. In order to make full use of the capacity of the North
County Water Reclamation Facility (NCWRF) for the growing northeast quadrant of Collier County’s utility service area, the most
recent Utilities Master Plan recommended construction of a 24-inch force main from the Heritage Bay MPS west along Immokalee
Road then south along Logan Boulevard to MPS 104 located on Vanderbilt Beach Drive, just east of Logan Boulevard.
A section of this project has already been constructed. This completed section is a 24-inch force main on the north side of the
Cocohatchee Canal from the extension of Collier Boulevard (CR 951) west to about 170 feet east of Rose Boulevard. The proposed
force main will begin at the termination of the existing section (170 feet east of Rose Boulevard) and continue west in the Immokalee
Road corridor. It will then turn south on Logan Boulevard to Vanderbilt Beach Road, thence east a short distance to MPS 104. A
connection will be required (complete with appropriate valving) to the existing force main in Immokalee Road. This routing is
illustrated in Figure 2. The alignment of this force main was the subject of a report titled “Immokalee Road, Logan Boulevard and
Vanderbilt Beach Road 24-inch Force Main Alignment Analysis” by Johnson Engineering dated July 2014, which is provided with
this solicitation notice.
This report includes the alignment analysis of the force main along Immokalee Road between Rose Boulevard and Logan Boulevard
to the west, from Logan Boulevard to Vanderbilt Beach Road to the south and along Vanderbilt Beach Road to MPS 104 to the east.
Each alignment consideration looked at: relative cost, constructability, impact to roadways, environmental impacts and required
permitting. The proposed force main system is divided into three segments:
1. 7,000 LF approximately along Immokalee Road;
2. 11,000 LF approximately along Logan Boulevard (between Immokalee Road and Vanderbilt Beach Road).
3. 1,000 LF approximately along Vanderbilt Beach Road to Master Pump Station 104.

As part of this project, the Design-Build Team will be required to upsize approximately 1,400 feet of existing 8-inch PVC wastewater
force main with appropriate valving. The force main was originally designed for a limited development in the area. However,
additional residential development has resulted in the existing 8-inch PVC force main being undersized. On the south, the current 8-
inch force main is connected to an existing 16-inch PVC transmission force main in Immokalee Road then runs north along Logan
Boulevard for approximately 1,400 feet to a connection with an existing 12-inch PVC and 6-inch PVC wastewater force main (see
Figure 3). In order to connect the new force mains to the existing 16-inch PVC wastewater force main in Immokalee Road, Immokalee
Road will have to be open cut. It is anticipated that the connection of the upsized force main and the new HDPE 24-inch force main
to the transmission main in Immokalee Road will be performed at night and in the same cut to minimize disruption to traffic. The
upsized force main is not required to connect to the 16-inch PVC force main in Immokalee Road at the present location. The location
of the connection for both the new HDPE 24-inch” force main and the upsized force main is to be determined by the Design-Build
Team and in consultation with the County. Additionally, the Cocohatchee Canal may need to be dammed and bypassed to facilitate
this work. All SFWMD or Big Cypress Basin permitting necessary to dam and bypass the canal is the responsibility of the Design-
Build Team.

It is to be noted that the Logan Boulevard bridge/road over the Cocohatchee Canal is to be widened by others. Should this bridge/road
work be concurrent with the installation of the force mains described in this document, coordination of construction activities will be
required to ensure successful and efficient completion of both projects.

force mains (complete with appropriate valving/appurtenances/fittings).
The proposed force main will be installed to increase the capacity of the existing wastewater system along Immokalee Road. It shall
be capable to transport wastewater flows in multiple directions including, but not limited to, 1) directing flow from the Heritage Bay
Master Pump Station (HBMPS) to MPS 104, MPS 103 or MPS 107; 2) directing flow from MPS 104 to the Heritage Bay Master
Pump Station; or 3) directing flow from the Heritage Bay Master Pump Station to the North County Water Reclamation Facility
(NCWRF). Existing flow along Immokalee Road is directed to MPS 107 or MPS 103. The flow from the Orange Tree Service Area
will be directed to the HBMPS on Plateau Road and re-pumped to either MPS 103, MPS 107 or MPS 104.
Additionally, the project includes the upsizing of an existing 8-inch PVC wastewater force main north on Logan Boulevard from the
intersection at Immokalee Road. The current 8-inch PVC force main is connected to an existing 16-inch PVC transmission force main
in Immokalee Road then run north along Logan Boulevard for approximately 1,400 feet to a connection with an existing 12-inch
PVC and 6-inch PVC wastewater force main.
The connection of the 12-inch and 6-inch PVC force mains to the 8-inch PVC force main is located at the intersection of Logan Blvd
North with Treeline Drive. The 12-inch PVC force main receives the sewer flows of Riverstone of Naples and Parkland
Developments and the 6-inch PVC force main receives the flows of pump station 107.50 at Olde Cypress Development
Removal and/or grout-in-place will be required for the abandoned 8-inch PVC force main. The upsized force main is not required to
connect to the 16-inch PVC force main in Immokalee Road at the present location. The location of the connection for both the new
HDPE 24-inch force main and the upsized force main is to be determined by the Design-Build Team and in consultation with the
County.
In order to connect the new force mains to the existing 16-inch PVC wastewater force main in Immokalee Road, Immokalee Road
will have to be open cut. It is anticipated that the connection of the upsized force main and the new HDPE 24-inch force main to the
transmission main in Immokalee Road will be performed at night and in the same cut to minimize disruption to traffic.

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.
1.2 The COUNTY will use a Selection Committee in the RPS selection process.
1.3 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.
1.4 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.
1.5 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.
1.6 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.
1.7 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.
RESPONSE FORMAT AND GRADING CRITERIA FOR DEVELOPMENT OF SHORTLIST:
1.8 For the development of a shortlist, this evaluation criterion will be utilized by the COUNTY’S Selection Committee to score

QE+ Grady Minor | A
Proven & Established
Partnership
The QE+ Grady Minor team is well established in Collier
County. With over 20 years of experience, this team has
successfully completed hundreds of projects in the area,
all on time, within budget and at high levels of quality.
This is the right team for the job, evidenced by continual
project success.
UNDERSTANDING OF PROJECT IMPACTS
It has come to the attention of the QE +Grady Minor team
that Collier County is interested in receiving qualifications
and proposals from experienced design-build teams for the
design and construction of a new HDPE 24-inch Force Main
along Immokalee Road, then south along Logan Boulevard,
to MPS 104 on Vanderbilt Beach Drive. QE+ Grady Minor is
confident in their ability to perform the 19,000+ LF of new
pipe installation.
The proposed project will also include the upsizing of an
existing 8” PVC wastewater force main, approximately 1,400
feet, north on Logan Boulevard from the intersection at
Immokalee Road. Removal and/or grout-in-place will be
required for the abandoned force main, a task well within
the scope of work for the QE + Grady Minor team.
It should be noted from the start that all design and
construction activities will be held in compliance with
all Collier County Utility Standards and Right-of-Way
Standards and Ordinances.
The team understands that the county has considered
several routing options for the new 24” Force Main and has
found through a study by Johnson Engineering that the
leading option places the proposed force main on the north
side of the South Florida Water Management District Canal
right-of-way along Immokalee Road and on the western
right-of-way of Logan Boulevard. This is indicated as Option
#1 in the Alignment Analysis.
QE+ Grady Minor has a thorough understanding of the
project, discussed in the following Project Overview:
The new force main will begin at the western end of the
Esplanade and continue west on Immokalee Road, turn
south on Logan Boulevard, and then east on Vanderbilt
Beach Road to MPS 104.
At the intersection of Immokalee Road with Logan
Boulevard and Olde Cypress Boulevard (north side of
Immokalee Road), a future connection from the 24-
inch proposed force main will be made to the existing
16-inch force main under Immokalee Road. This bypass
is designed in preparation for future emergencies
downstream of Logan Boulevard. However, the analysis
and design of the future bypass connection is beyond
the scope of work authorized for this report.
As part of Collier County’s long-range transportation plans,
Logan Boulevard is proposed to be widened from two lanes
to four lanes with a 5-foot sidewalk, 4-foot bike lane, and
curb and gutters. Therefore, all proposed alignments from
QE+ Grady Minor for the new 24-inch Force Main have been
made in consideration of the future widening project.
Prior to proceeding with a design, the QE+Grady Minor
team will review all options on pipe alignment to confirm
which is the most feasible and least disruption to the
public to perform.
CRITICAL PROJECT SUCCESS FACTORS
The QE + Grady Minor team has successfully completed
similar projects to the proposed 24-inch Force Main for
Collier County. It is from this past experience that QE +
Grady Minor thoroughly understands the necessary factors
for a successful job:
It is essential that existing systems remain operational
during all phases of the project. This will require close
coordination with county staff and highly thought out
bypass systems.
The team will consider the impact of future projects (i.e.
the widening of Logan Boulevard) on the new system.
The team will be attentive to environmental conditions
and will consider potential environmental impacts
during all phases of the project.

(cont.)
Close coordination will be required with Collier County
ROW & Permitting, a task that the QE + Grady Minor
team is well acquainted with.
Acquisition of Easements will be a top priority.
The team will maintain close communication with
contractors working within project limits.
It will also be imperative to consider impact to the:
The traveling public, including but not limited to
vehicular traffic, biking and walk paths along the pipe
route, in particular along the north side of Immokalee
Road.
Local schools and businesses. Keeping access to
businesses along Immokalee Road and creating safe
walk ways for students walking to both Laurel Oak
Elementary and Gulf Coast High School is of great
importance.
Collier County will benefit from the selection of a local
team for this design-build project, thus making QE +
Grady Minor the right choice for this project. With the
necessary expertise and experience of working within
county lines, the team will to see this project through
completion.
QE has installed a vast amount of underground piping
systems in Collier County, most recently completing
several water main extension projects on Logan Boulevard,
Immokalee Road & Collier Boulevard, and force main
piping on Immokalee Road. QE + Grady Minor has a
strong understanding of ground conditions, dewatering
requirements, and Maintenance of Traffic to keep our
projects safe for the workers and public.
Further, QE + Grady Minor has a vested interest in the
success of this project. Many of the team members live
in close proximity to project limits and are part of the
impacted community, including QE’s Construction Project
Manager, Louis J Gaudio.
PRELIMINARY DESIGN COMPONENTS
The preliminary design phase of the new 24-inch Force
Main Design-Build is outlined as follows:
QE + Grady Minor will confirm existing site conditions
and utility locations by utilizing as-built documents and
past geotechnical information.
Earth View, LLC, QE’s in house directional drilling
company, will perform both soft dig and subsurface
utility exploration (SUE) to confirm locations of existing
utilities. This data will be used to confirm that the
proposed route is in fact the most cost effective route
for the county.
Due to QE’s unique ability to perform both open cut
and Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) in house, the
team will review the benefits of utilizing open cut vs.
HDD throughout the project.
Safety, environmental impacts, cost, and speed of
installation will be considered when determining
benefits for the county.
Grady Minor will confirm appropriate pipe size for the
county’s requirements.
FINAL DESIGN AND PERMITTING
QE + Grady Minor will work collaboratively throughout
the design phase to provide the county with the most
cost effective and successful design. All designs will be in
full compliance with current County Standards for Utilities,
Roadway, and ROW. For 60% and 90% plans, the team will
deliver drawings, specifications and scheduling to the
county. The QE + Grady Minor team will work closely with
Collier County staff to adjust the design as necessary.
Upon approval of 60% plans, QE will fast track activities such
as procurement of piping, valves, etc. in order to shorten
overall project duration.
QUALITY CONTROL/QUALITY ASSURANCE
With extensive design and construction experience in
Collier County, QE + Grady Minor will develop drawings and
specifications that are in full compliance with the design
criteria package, as well as Collier County Standards for
Utilities, Roadway and Right of Way.
QE + Grady Minor will provide a full time Quality Control
Manager on this project who will confirm that all materials

ABILITY OF PROFESSIONAL PERSONNEL
PERMITTING
QE + Grady Minor has a strong understanding of local and
regional permitting, an added benefit to the successful
outcome of this project. Both members of the QE + Grady
Minor team have over 20+ years of experience, and a
continued working knowledge of required permits.
QE + GRADY MINOR ANTICIPATES THE FOLLOWING
PERMITS FOR THE 24-INCH FORCE MAIN PROJECT:
• Collier County Right of Way
• Florida Department of Environmental Protection
Infrastructure Permit
• Florida Department of Environmental Protection
NPDES
• Florida Department of Environmental Protection
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan
• SFWMD ROW permit
• FDEP Notification/Application For Constructing A
Domestic Wastewater Collection/Transmission
System
• SFWMD Consumptive water use permit for
dewatering
The team recognizes that additional permits may be
required upon initial review and due diligence. For this
matter, Passarella & Associates will provide environmental
consulting to determine other permits that may be needed
for mitigation, endangered species, etc.
It should also be known that QE + Grady Minor will conduct
pre-design meetings with all regulatory and environmental
agencies to review and confirm permit requirements.
SAFETY APPROACH
The personal health and safety of each employee and
associate of Quality Enterprises USA, Inc. is of primary
importance in all phases of operation and administration.
A Site Safety and Health Plan (SSHP) is developed for each
project to ensure safe work practices on every jobsite. The
SSHP is implemented and strictly enforced to incorporate
the most stringent practices and procedures with regard to
worker safety.
SELF-PERFORMANCE
Quality Enterprises has the unique ability to self-perform
90% of this project. All facets of this project including:
open cut installation, Horizontal Directional Drilling, Jack
and Bore, bypassing, sod installation, concrete and asphalt
pavement restoration will be, self-performed by QE. This
ability allows for total control of construction activities,
safety, and scheduling.
SCHEDULED APPROACH
QE is in an unparalleled position to work on multiple
phases of this project concurrently. This stems from the
company’s vast supply of manpower, equipment, and
ability to self-perform. QE + Grady Minor’s scheduled project
approach includes:
Conduct a pre-construction meeting with Collier County
to determine critical areas of work and sequencing.
Due to the projects’ proximity to Laurel Oak Elementary
and Gulf Coast High School, working adjacent to these
areas may be performed during non-school times, such
as winter, spring or summer breaks. QE + Grady Minor
will look to fast track work items to flow simultaneously,
such as having crews working on directional drills, open
cuts, and jack and bores within the same time frame.
Weekly staff meetings will be held to review schedules,
approaches, and to identify issues and determine
solutions to eliminate project delays. The meetings will
be conducted with an open door to Collier County staff,
who are invited to attend all meetings.
Over the past 5 years, Grady Minor has completed over:

PROFILE
Alan Hart serves as the Chemical Mud Engineer for all of Earth View, LLC’s Horizontal Directional Drill
projects. Alan uses his knowledge of drilling practices to create specialized fluids known as Bentonite
(mud), a mixture of clays and mineral components, to lubricate HDD components and the drill hole.
Throughout the drilling process he conducts standardized testing using a variety of methods to change
the mud’s viscosity, adjust the temperature, pH balance, and chemical components. These adjustments
allow for the drill rods and final product (pipe) to smoothly pass through the drill hole regardless of the
type of soil conditions.
PROJECT EXPERIENCE
SNAKE RIVER WATER PROJECT, UNDERGROUND
RESEARCH
Camas Valley, OR
Description: This project included a 4100 LF
drill of 12” water pipe under the Snake River
in Jackson Hole, Wyoming for the local power
company. Ground conditions consisted of round
cobble rock, causing the drill head to continually
rise. A vertical drill was used to drill down across
the river in the bore path and cement grout was
injected to hold the rock in place to allow for
drilling.
HUDSON WATER PROJECT, BAROID IDP
Hyde Park, NY
Description: This project involved a 7,980 LF
HDD underneath the Hudson River in Hyde
Park, New York. The hole had to be contained
to keep the brackish water out, and the acidic
soil conditions consisted of swamp layers of clay
with extensive amounts of iron oxides, organic
material rock layers consisting of Manhattan
Schist, Inwood marble, Fordham Gneiss, and
bedrock. The bore was successfully completed.
HANFORD GOVERNMENT PROJECT, BAROID IDP
Hanford, WA
Description: Working on site as a Chemical
Engineer, Alan Hart assisted with the drilling
under Plutonium Radioactive tanks in Hanford,
WA. This was a challenging project, as the tanks
were made of metal and leaked radioactive
material. The soil condition was sand and the
project included six crossing bores under each
of the tanks. The team had to be very careful not
to cross contaminate the ground by containing
all drilling chemical in the boreholes. If the
chemicals mixed, the ground containing the
radioactive material could have turned to glass
when the generators pulled electrical socks
through. All site personnel had to be in Hazmat
air supplied suits.
NACOOCHEE ELECTRICAL COMMUNICATION
PROJECT, BAROID IDP
Helena, GA
Description: This job included a 3,500 LF bore of
three 12” pipes under Nacoochee Indian burial
mounds in Helena, GA. On site the soil survey
included a mix of red clay (classified as Ultisol),
silt, and rock, and was composed of low to
high grade metamorphic rock. The boreholes
had to be maintained with a pressure tool for
a maximum of 9% water loss. Fracking was
not permitted under any circumstances, as
fracking out would’ve contaminated the river or
damaged the Indian burial ground. The job was
successfully completed.
MULTIPLE PROJECTS FOR SCHLUMBERGER
Grand Junction, CO
Description: After completing his training as a
Chemical Engineer, Alan Hart worked in Grand
Junction, Colorado on several oilfield drills. He
then moved to Nevada where he started his
career in Horizontal Directional Drilling. Alan is
experience with exploratory drills both above
ground and 4,000 LF deep below ground in the
Barrick (hard rock mines) and has ran chemicals
for 20,000 LF directional drills in both the oil
and gas industries. As a chemical engineer,
Alan’s role includes monitoring, testing, and
documenting fluids and chemicals on all drills.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project involved the installation of nearly 4,000 LF of 10” and 12” HDPE
water main piping by Horizontal Directional Drill. Grady Minor performed the
design, permitting, public relations, bidding and construction administration.
This project was located within an environmentally sensitive area. Goodland
drive has a platted 100’ ROW but is heavily restricted by encroaching
mangroves resulting in approximately 40-50’ of useable ROW, hence the need
for Earth View’s HDD services. The new water main was designed with 3,300
feet of 12” directional drilled water main piping and 1,000 feet of open cut
water main to facilitate construction along Goodland Drive without affecting
the mangroves, existing utilities, or vehicular access along Goodland Drive.
The project was completed on time, within budget, and at high levels of
quality.

Fusible PVC by Horizontal Directional Drill to service Hunting Island and
Fripp Island, SC. This drill was a subaqueous drill 80 feet deep under the
Harbor River on Fripp Island. Several road crossings and tie-ins were also
involved as well as restoration work. The island was able to maintain water
service without interruption during bridge construction.
The entry and exits pits of the drill were located adjacent to existing wetland
areas which involved a detailed plan for drilling and handling mud extraction
and spoils from the excavations. The project was successfully completed with
no environmental issues on time, within budget and at high levels of quality.

QE’S TECHNOLOGY | A STEP ABOVE THE REST
Technology plays an integral role in QE’s operations. From investing in high-tech components used in our heavy
equipment to managing job sites from an iPad, QE prioritizes the use of cutting-edge technology to assist with
daily activities. As a result, QE’s job performance is faster and smarter, yet completed with accuracy and
great attention to detail.
Technology in Heavy Equipment
Contractors can easily overlook one of the most
vital aspects of well-run jobsite - the need to invest
in top of the line, state of the art heavy construction
equipment.
Construction Equipment is costly; however, this
investment leads to greater employee and customer
satisfaction, a fact that QE has come to realize
firsthand. There is no denying that QE’s well-
maintained equipment fleet stands out from the
rest, as the company commits to choosing machines,
options, and features needed to create and maintain
a state-of-the-art equipment fleet.
QE machines are fully equipped with site positioning
systems for machine grading and 3D technology.
QE has also invested in Trimble sitework technology,
a site modeling program that leads to savings
in material usage and manpower and improves
accuracy from the ability to perform “as-built checks”
or changes on the fly. Trimble technology allows QE
to achieve millimeter accuracy with fewer passes
and no manual staking, and 3D site models yield
detailed progress and material movement reports.
Technology in Heavy Equipment
Within QE’s advanced equipment fleet is the
Caterpillar NEXT Generation Excavator with built in
CAT grade and slope technology. This machine was
further upgraded to utilize a Trimble Total Station,
ensuring the highest level of accuracy on projects like
roadways or airport grading and paving and provides
images when satellites (GPS) are not available due to
overhead obstruction.
Many of QE’s machines (CAT dozers, excavators
and pavers) are GPS enabled. The integrated GPS
receivers communicate with the base site station and
can control blade or bucket movement. Additionally,
all of QE’s mid to large excavators are equipped with
the Cat Pin Grabber Coupler system. This upgraded
feature increases machine performance, versatility,
and helps to ensure jobsite safety. By removing the
bucket and using the coupler’s rated lifting eye to
move needed items, the operators can increase the
machine’s lift capacity and improve visibility.

Technology’s Role in Project Management
Further, QE utilizes the industry-leading construction ERP solution, Vista by Viewpoint, to manage all areas
of the business. From the Office to the Field, this multi-faceted cloud-based construction accounting suite is
used throughout all phases of a project. For example, Project Managers and Superintendents can easily review
AP invoices, request Purchase Orders, complete daily reports and job billing information in the field from the
Viewpoint iPad application. This allows for real-time collaboration between the accounting and operations
teams. Additionally, the software is used to capture labor time and production units, and helps facilitate safety
training and weekly safety toolbox talks.
An added benefit, the Viewpoint Team portal will allow the customer, engineer, and contractor to track
and collaborate on submittals and RFIs throughout the new 24-Inch Force Main project, as the web-based
application will provide all parties with the current status of each document.
QE also utilizes Viewpoint Field Management, an application that allows for the Superintendents to not only
submit equipment maintenance work orders, but to also request additional heavy equipment and vehicles from
their iPad and/or iPhone directly to the jobsite. When the equipment arrives, the Superintendent confirms delivery
on the application to update the Dispatch board. QE’s dispatcher also verifies the location of all equipment using
the GPS units tracked in HCSS Telematics.
This direct line of communication between the office and field reduces the need for Superintendents and
crews to continually visit the office, thus allowing the project to be completed on time, within budget and at
the high levels of quality that have come to characterize QE.

QE+ Grady Minor | A
Proven & Established
Partnership
The QE+ Grady Minor team is well established in Collier
County. With over 20 years of experience, this team has
successfully completed hundreds of projects in the area,
all on time, within budget and at high levels of quality.
This is the right team for the job, evidenced by continual
project success.
UNDERSTANDING OF PROJECT IMPACTS
It has come to the attention of the QE +Grady Minor team
that Collier County is interested in receiving qualifications
and proposals from experienced design-build teams for the
design and construction of a new HDPE 24-inch Force Main
along Immokalee Road, then south along Logan Boulevard,
to MPS 104 on Vanderbilt Beach Drive. QE+ Grady Minor is
confident in their ability to perform the 19,000+ LF of new
pipe installation.
The proposed project will also include the upsizing of an
existing 8” PVC wastewater force main, approximately 1,400
feet, north on Logan Boulevard from the intersection at
Immokalee Road. Removal and/or grout-in-place will be
required for the abandoned force main, a task well within
the scope of work for the QE + Grady Minor team.
It should be noted from the start that all design and
construction activities will be held in compliance with
all Collier County Utility Standards and Right-of-Way
Standards and Ordinances.
The team understands that the county has considered
several routing options for the new 24” Force Main and has
found through a study by Johnson Engineering that the
leading option places the proposed force main on the north
side of the South Florida Water Management District Canal
right-of-way along Immokalee Road and on the western
right-of-way of Logan Boulevard. This is indicated as Option
#1 in the Alignment Analysis.
QE+ Grady Minor has a thorough understanding of the
project, discussed in the following Project Overview:
The new force main will begin at the western end of the
Esplanade and continue west on Immokalee Road, turn
south on Logan Boulevard, and then east on Vanderbilt
Beach Road to MPS 104.
At the intersection of Immokalee Road with Logan
Boulevard and Olde Cypress Boulevard (north side of
Immokalee Road), a future connection from the 24-
inch proposed force main will be made to the existing
16-inch force main under Immokalee Road. This bypass
is designed in preparation for future emergencies
downstream of Logan Boulevard. However, the analysis
and design of the future bypass connection is beyond
the scope of work authorized for this report.
As part of Collier County’s long-range transportation plans,
Logan Boulevard is proposed to be widened from two lanes
to four lanes with a 5-foot sidewalk, 4-foot bike lane, and
curb and gutters. Therefore, all proposed alignments from
QE+ Grady Minor for the new 24-inch Force Main have been
made in consideration of the future widening project.
Prior to proceeding with a design, the QE+Grady Minor
team will review all options on pipe alignment to confirm
which is the most feasible and least disruption to the
public to perform.
CRITICAL PROJECT SUCCESS FACTORS
The QE + Grady Minor team has successfully completed
similar projects to the proposed 24-inch Force Main for
Collier County. It is from this past experience that QE +
Grady Minor thoroughly understands the necessary factors
for a successful job:
It is essential that existing systems remain operational
during all phases of the project. This will require close
coordination with county staff and highly thought out
bypass systems.
The team will consider the impact of future projects (i.e.
the widening of Logan Boulevard) on the new system.
The team will be attentive to environmental conditions
and will consider potential environmental impacts
during all phases of the project.
ABILITY OF PROFESSIONAL PERSONNEL

(cont.)
Close coordination will be required with Collier County
ROW & Permitting, a task that the QE + Grady Minor
team is well acquainted with.
Acquisition of Easements will be a top priority.
The team will maintain close communication with
contractors working within project limits.
It will also be imperative to consider impact to the:
The traveling public, including but not limited to
vehicular traffic, biking and walk paths along the pipe
route, in particular along the north side of Immokalee
Road.
Local schools and businesses. Keeping access to
businesses along Immokalee Road and creating safe
walk ways for students walking to both Laurel Oak
Elementary and Gulf Coast High School is of great
importance.
Collier County will benefit from the selection of a local
team for this design-build project, thus making QE +
Grady Minor the right choice for this project. With the
necessary expertise and experience of working within
county lines, the team will to see this project through
completion.
QE has installed a vast amount of underground piping
systems in Collier County, most recently completing
several water main extension projects on Logan Boulevard,
Immokalee Road & Collier Boulevard, and force main
piping on Immokalee Road. QE + Grady Minor has a
strong understanding of ground conditions, dewatering
requirements, and Maintenance of Traffic to keep our
projects safe for the workers and public.
Further, QE + Grady Minor has a vested interest in the
success of this project. Many of the team members live
in close proximity to project limits and are part of the
impacted community, including QE’s Construction Project
Manager, Louis J Gaudio.
PRELIMINARY DESIGN COMPONENTS
The preliminary design phase of the new 24-inch Force
Main Design-Build is outlined as follows:
QE + Grady Minor will confirm existing site conditions
and utility locations by utilizing as-built documents and
past geotechnical information.
Earth View, LLC, QE’s in house directional drilling
company, will perform both soft dig and subsurface
utility exploration (SUE) to confirm locations of existing
utilities. This data will be used to confirm that the
proposed route is in fact the most cost effective route
for the county.
Due to QE’s unique ability to perform both open cut
and Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) in house, the
team will review the benefits of utilizing open cut vs.
HDD throughout the project.
Safety, environmental impacts, cost, and speed of
installation will be considered when determining
benefits for the county.
Grady Minor will confirm appropriate pipe size for the
county’s requirements.
FINAL DESIGN AND PERMITTING
QE + Grady Minor will work collaboratively throughout
the design phase to provide the county with the most
cost effective and successful design. All designs will be in
full compliance with current County Standards for Utilities,
Roadway, and ROW. For 60% and 90% plans, the team will
deliver drawings, specifications and scheduling to the
county. The QE + Grady Minor team will work closely with
Collier County staff to adjust the design as necessary.
Upon approval of 60% plans, QE will fast track activities such
as procurement of piping, valves, etc. in order to shorten
overall project duration.
QUALITY CONTROL/QUALITY ASSURANCE
With extensive design and construction experience in
Collier County, QE + Grady Minor will develop drawings and
specifications that are in full compliance with the design
criteria package, as well as Collier County Standards for
Utilities, Roadway and Right of Way.
QE + Grady Minor will provide a full time Quality Control
Manager on this project who will confirm that all materials
and installations comply with Collier County Standards.

SCHEDULED APPROACH
QE is in an unparalleled position to work on multiple
phases of this project concurrently. This stems from the
company’s vast supply of manpower, equipment, and
ability to self-perform. QE + Grady Minor’s scheduled project
approach includes:
Conduct a pre-construction meeting with Collier County
to determine critical areas of work and sequencing.
Due to the projects’ proximity to Laurel Oak Elementary
and Gulf Coast High School, working adjacent to these
areas may be performed during non-school times, such
as winter, spring or summer breaks. QE + Grady Minor
will look to fast track work items to flow simultaneously,
such as having crews working on directional drills, open
cuts, and jack and bores within the same time frame.
Weekly staff meetings will be held to review schedules,
approaches, and to identify issues and determine
solutions to eliminate project delays. The meetings will
be conducted with an open door to Collier County staff,
who are invited to attend all meetings.

PROFILE
Alan Hart serves as the Chemical Mud Engineer for all of Earth View, LLC’s Horizontal Directional Drill
projects. Alan uses his knowledge of drilling practices to create specialized fluids known as Bentonite
(mud), a mixture of clays and mineral components, to lubricate HDD components and the drill hole.
Throughout the drilling process he conducts standardized testing using a variety of methods to change
the mud’s viscosity, adjust the temperature, pH balance, and chemical components. These adjustments
allow for the drill rods and final product (pipe) to smoothly pass through the drill hole regardless of the
type of soil conditions.
PROJECT EXPERIENCE
SNAKE RIVER WATER PROJECT, UNDERGROUND
RESEARCH
Camas Valley, OR
Description: This project included a 4100 LF
drill of 12” water pipe under the Snake River
in Jackson Hole, Wyoming for the local power
company. Ground conditions consisted of round
cobble rock, causing the drill head to continually
rise. A vertical drill was used to drill down across

injected to hold the rock in place to allow for
drilling.
HUDSON WATER PROJECT, BAROID IDP
Hyde Park, NY
Description: This project involved a 7,980 LF
HDD underneath the Hudson River in Hyde
Park, New York. The hole had to be contained
to keep the brackish water out, and the acidic
soil conditions consisted of swamp layers of clay
with extensive amounts of iron oxides, organic
material rock layers consisting of Manhattan
Schist, Inwood marble, Fordham Gneiss, and
bedrock. The bore was successfully completed.
HANFORD GOVERNMENT PROJECT, BAROID IDP
Hanford, WA
Description: Working on site as a Chemical
Engineer, Alan Hart assisted with the drilling
under Plutonium Radioactive tanks in Hanford,
WA. This was a challenging project, as the tanks
were made of metal and leaked radioactive
material. The soil condition was sand and the
project included six crossing bores under each
of the tanks. The team had to be very careful not
to cross contaminate the ground by containing
all drilling chemical in the boreholes. If the
chemicals mixed, the ground containing the
radioactive material could have turned to glass
when the generators pulled electrical socks
through. All site personnel had to be in Hazmat
air supplied suits.
NACOOCHEE ELECTRICAL COMMUNICATION
PROJECT, BAROID IDP
Helena, GA
Description: This job included a 3,500 LF bore of
three 12” pipes under Nacoochee Indian burial
mounds in Helena, GA. On site the soil survey
included a mix of red clay (classified as Ultisol),
silt, and rock, and was composed of low to
high grade metamorphic rock. The boreholes
had to be maintained with a pressure tool for
a maximum of 9% water loss. Fracking was
not permitted under any circumstances, as
fracking out would’ve contaminated the river or
damaged the Indian burial ground. The job was
successfully completed.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project involved the installation of nearly 4,000 LF of 10” and 12” HDPE
water main piping by Horizontal Directional Drill. Grady Minor performed the
design, permitting, public relations, bidding and construction administration.
This project was located within an environmentally sensitive area. Goodland
drive has a platted 100’ ROW but is heavily restricted by encroaching
mangroves resulting in approximately 40-50’ of useable ROW, hence the need
for Earth View’s HDD services. The new water main was designed with 3,300
feet of 12” directional drilled water main piping and 1,000 feet of open cut
water main to facilitate construction along Goodland Drive without affecting
the mangroves, existing utilities, or vehicular access along Goodland Drive.
The project was completed on time, within budget, and at high levels of
quality.

QE’S TECHNOLOGY | A STEP ABOVE THE REST
Technology plays an integral role in QE’s operations. From investing in high-tech components used in our heavy
equipment to managing job sites from an iPad, QE prioritizes the use of cutting-edge technology to assist with
daily activities. As a result, QE’s job performance is faster and smarter, yet completed with accuracy and
great attention to detail.
Technology in Heavy Equipment
Contractors can easily overlook one of the most
vital aspects of well-run jobsite - the need to invest
in top of the line, state of the art heavy construction
equipment.
Construction Equipment is costly; however, this
investment leads to greater employee and customer
satisfaction, a fact that QE has come to realize
firsthand. There is no denying that QE’s well-
maintained equipment fleet stands out from the
rest, as the company commits to choosing machines,
options, and features needed to create and maintain
a state-of-the-art equipment fleet.
QE machines are fully equipped with site positioning
systems for machine grading and 3D technology.
QE has also invested in Trimble sitework technology,
a site modeling program that leads to savings
in material usage and manpower and improves
accuracy from the ability to perform “as-built checks”
or changes on the fly. Trimble technology allows QE
to achieve millimeter accuracy with fewer passes
and no manual staking, and 3D site models yield
detailed progress and material movement reports.
Technology in Heavy Equipment
Within QE’s advanced equipment fleet is the
Caterpillar NEXT Generation Excavator with built in
CAT grade and slope technology. This machine was
further upgraded to utilize a Trimble Total Station,
ensuring the highest level of accuracy on projects like
roadways or airport grading and paving and provides
images when satellites (GPS) are not available due to
overhead obstruction.
Many of QE’s machines (CAT dozers, excavators
and pavers) are GPS enabled. The integrated GPS
receivers communicate with the base site station and
can control blade or bucket movement. Additionally,
all of QE’s mid to large excavators are equipped with
the Cat Pin Grabber Coupler system. This upgraded
feature increases machine performance, versatility,
and helps to ensure jobsite safety. By removing the
bucket and using the coupler’s rated lifting eye to
move needed items, the operators can increase the
machine’s lift capacity and improve visibility.

The standard 2D E-fence feature automatically stops excavator motion using boundaries you set in the monitor for the entire working
envelope—above, below, sides and front. E-fence features protect equipment from damage and reduce fi nes related to zoning or
underground utility damage. Automatic boundaries even help prevent operator fatigue by reducing over-swinging and over-digging.

Technology’s Role in Project Management
Further, QE utilizes the industry-leading construction ERP solution, Vista by Viewpoint, to manage all areas
of the business. From the Office to the Field, this multi-faceted cloud-based construction accounting suite is
used throughout all phases of a project. For example, Project Managers and Superintendents can easily review
AP invoices, request Purchase Orders, complete daily reports and job billing information in the field from the
Viewpoint iPad application. This allows for real-time collaboration between the accounting and operations
teams. Additionally, the software is used to capture labor time and production units, and helps facilitate safety
training and weekly safety toolbox talks.
An added benefit, the Viewpoint Team portal will allow the customer, engineer, and contractor to track
and collaborate on submittals and RFIs throughout the new 24-Inch Force Main project, as the web-based
application will provide all parties with the current status of each document.
QE also utilizes Viewpoint Field Management, an application that allows for the Superintendents to not only
submit equipment maintenance work orders, but to also request additional heavy equipment and vehicles from
their iPad and/or iPhone directly to the jobsite. When the equipment arrives, the Superintendent confirms delivery
on the application to update the Dispatch board. QE’s dispatcher also verifies the location of all equipment using
the GPS units tracked in HCSS Telematics.
This direct line of communication between the office and field reduces the need for Superintendents and
crews to continually visit the office, thus allowing the project to be completed on time, within budget and at
the high levels of quality that have come to characterize QE.
