Civil Engineering (T&A), with its sub-consultant Palm Engineering Group, Inc. (PEG) and Ross Engineering, Inc. (RE) are extremely interested in providing the City of South Miami with their update of the existing Stormwater Management Program. Our team is assembled based on knowledge and understanding of the City of South Miami's needs for the Master Planning Services and the history of our staff having completed similar projects in the South Florida Region. Key individuals of the T&A Team have been selected because of their experience and abilities and can effectively meet the challenges and requirements of the "Storinwater Management Program Update". Thompson & Associates, Inc. (T&A) is an established and growing civil engineering & firm with offices in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties. Our local office is conveniently located near Palmetto Expressway (SR 826) and Sunset Drive at E 1 5860 S.W. 891h Court within 10 minutes of the City of South Miami municipal compound. Our firm and staff have a proven history of providing responsive and quality consulting services to public and private clients throughout Florida. T&A is committed to their clients through a partnering approach on every project. We understand that we are part of a team that needs to work together in order to have a successful project. In addition, the wide breath of the firm's experience allows potential issues to be identified early in the planning and design process. This enables the project team to address the issues and resolve them in order to keep the project on schedule, and more importantly, within budget. Our Team has extensive experience in Hydrologic and Hydraulic modeling, and Hydrogeologic modeling. Our approach is predicated on having a full complement of models, from simple to complex, without advocating the exclusive use of any single modeling tool. For each assignment, we will thoroughly review the management and technical issues, data availability, acceptable level of uncertainty, resources, and schedule, and then recommend the optimal model or integrated system of 13 RZ IlPage CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI RFP # SM-2011-17-PW 3 ""n Mw models. We will place emphasis not just on modeling tools, but also on understanding, decision support, and communication. We believe that effective use of models requires translation of complex technical results into useful, easily understood information for managers and stakeholders. Model development will be cost-effective, producible, and aligned with the City's goals. When possible, tasks will be conducted concurrently to meet or exceed the City's timetable and expectations. Our team is familiar with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and many of the reports prepared in the past by our staff, have been used by local municipalities to participate in the Community Rating System (CRS) which will benefit the residents with more affordable flood insurance premiums from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Our goal is to provide the City with the information necessary and the tools to increase their CRS classification by at least two points (Category 6) and a savings of 20%. For this project T&A is committing Shahin Hekmat, P.E. (Shahaffhompson-inc.com ) as the Project Manager and our Team's point of contact. The work will be performed from our Miami-Dade County office located at 5860 S.W. 89th Court, Miami, Florida 33173, which is less than 5 miles from the City of South Miami municipal complex. Mr. Hekmat is experienced in Storinwater Master Plans, having completed numerous similar studies over the past twenty years. Mr. Hekmat will be leading a team of professionals with experience and knowledge in preparation of Stormwater planning and Hydraulic a Hydrologic modeling. Below is a table that summarized our Key Personnel. Tka, 93 RZ 2 1 P a g e CITY OF SOUT14 MIAMI STORMWATER MANAGFENT PROGRAM UPDATE RFP # SM-2011-17-PW 111111111q1111111111 The City of South Miami encompasses two and a half square miles and is located in the central-east portion of Miami-Dade County. It borders the University of Miami's main campus, the City of Coral Gables and the Village of Pinecrest, The City is primarily comprised of single and multi-family residential with pockets of retail, office, public institutions and parks/recreational areas scattered throughout. A "Stormwater Management Program" and a "Stormwater Capital Improvements Program" was completed by the City in 1997. These reports were prepared to meet the requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) National Pollution Elimination Discharge System (NPDES) program as well as helping the City to improve their classification in the Community Rating System. Hydraulic and Hydralo�ic Model Approach & Methodology Our team has extensive experience in Hydrologic, Hydraulic, and Hydrogeologic modeling. Our approach is predicated on having a full complement of models, from simple to complex, without advocating the exclusive use of any single modeling tool. For each assignment, we will thoroughly review the management and technical issues, data availability, acceptable level of uncertainty, resources, and schedule, and then recommend the optimal model or integrated system of models. We will place emphasis not just on modeling tools, but also on understanding, decision support, and communication. We believe that effective use of models requires translation of complex technical results into useful, easily understood information for managers and stakeholders. Model development will be cost- effective, producible, and aligned with the City's goals. When possible, tasks will be conducted concurrently to meet or exceed the City's timetable and expectations. Our team is familiar with the City's existing SWMP and will utilize the available information to complete the scope within the City's time and budget. Hydraulic, hydrologic, ecologic, water quality and hydrodynamic evaluations involve the building of numerical models using available commercial packages. Our staff is familiar with many of SFWMD's existing tools. These models evaluate individual projects such as Canals, Impoundments, Reservoirs, ASRs, and municipal storm sewer system or restoration of sheet flow. Water Quality (optional) We are familiar with many surface water quality models supported by the USEPA and other government agencies, including WAMVIEW, SWMM, and QUAL2E. We also have experience with the MIKE -11 and MIKE-SHE (DHI) models to more accurately simulate the interaction between surface water and groundwater. The MIKE-SHE modeling system consists of a water movement module and several water quality modules. The water movement module simulates the hydrological components including evapotranspiration, soil water movement, overland flow, channel flow, and ground water flow. Flood Protection Flood protection goals may include increasing storage volume, as well as addressing durations, damage prevention, and assessment of alternative operations strategies. Our staff can use AdICPR, 3 1 P a g e CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI RFP # SM-2011-17-PW MODFLOW, SWMM, HEC-RAS, MIKE, or other commercial numerical models as appropriate. The modeling of canals and impoundments involves several phases, beginning with a feasibility study, to confirm the expected benefits and appropriateness of the system for a given situation or for a set of alternative scenarios. Conceptual designs can be developed to estimate capital and operational costs. After a canal or impoundment has been deemed the preferred option from technical and economic standpoints, we can conduct evaluations for selected sites including the review of available information regarding soil properties, topography, hydrogeology, vegetation, wildlife and fisheries resources, hydrology, and the determination of land ownership and water quality requirements. When modeling canals, several elements could be included in the build-out of the skeleton including culverts, spillways, tide gates, stormwater pump stations, bridges, etc. Secondary canals allow for the collection of surface water drainage from the majority of commercial, residential and industrial land uses. The SFWMD primary canal systems allow for conveyance of flows to and from impoundments and municipal. Impoundment model results will report critical information such as flows, water levels and seepage. Overview of the Modeling Process Modeling flow and transport begin by gathering information about the problem and conceptualizing how the natural system functions based on available data. When the data are gathered and interpreted in a conceptual model, the computer model is constructed and simulations may then be run. The modeling process begins by setting up the computer model to match the conceptual model and site specific hydrogeological parameters, and subsequently inputting the data. Inputs represent the best estimate of how the system functions, though the results are uncertain. Input parameters are likely to change as the model is calibrated (i.e., adjusted to fit the measured responses in the natural groundwater system). Once the model is calibrated, results are generated for the specific problem to be solved. Model Calibration Calibration is an important procedure in modeling. The computer uses all input data (e.g., recharge, discharge, geologic characteristics) to calculate how the groundwater occurs and how it moves as a function of the input data. During calibration, the model is fitted to the actual field measured groundwater system conditions. In order to judge how well the model fits the actual groundwater system, calibration targets are needed. For example, groundwater flow models calculate the elevation of the groundwater at many locations. When the groundwater elevation is measured in a well at some or all of these locations, then a comparison can be made. The model calculations can be compared to the field measurements; thus, the field measurements become the calibration targets. Calibration targets are then developed that show flow rates (e.g., the discharge of groundwater at a spring or into a river). Calibration targets also can be developed for chemical concentrations in groundwater (e.g., the concentration of a chemical in groundwater pumped from one or more wells). Calibration traditionally was performed by the trial-and-error method by simply changing an input value to the model (e.g., hydraulic conductivity or a boundary condition). The model was then executed and the new results are again compared to the calibration targets. This procedure was repeated, until it was no longer possible to obtain a better match to the calibration targets. Modem model software has input capabilities for observed and predicted conditions and conducts calibration and calibration outputs.

The District's responsibility for maintaining these facilities is to ensure stormwater conveyance and flood protection, as well as water quality and recharge. The District's Facility Report included identifying all the Facilities that are maintained and operated by the District. This included an extensive data collection, evaluation the study areas, identification and verification of new and existing facilities, defining the facilities physical characteristics and reviewing SFWMD requirements. After updating and redefining the study area, the physical characteristics of the individual basins were compiled. Such characteristics include identifying the number of sub-basins, their land use characteristics, percentage of water management area and drainage patterns. The hydraulic and hydrologic parameters such as head loss coefficients, SCS curve numbers, time of concentration and stage storage relationships were developed based on the land use patterns of the area in question. The model utilized to conduct the hydraulic analysis for developing the District's report was Advanced Interconnected Pond Routing (AdICPR) version 3.0 by Streamline Technologies. AdICPR uses a link node-concept to idealize real world systems. In the model the drainage system was broken down to a network, of links and nodes, which the program translates into a mathematical network from which numerical calculations takes place. Various storm events were then analyzed (10-year 1-day, 25-year 3- day and 100-year 3-day) to determine such information as flood stages, the capacity of the conveyance system, head losses for various components and identifying areas were improvements were needed. The original report also included a five and ten year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), a schedule of improvements necessary based on future development and proposed funding needs. The District completed over twenty million dollars in improvements since 1993 which included construction of three major pumping stations, rehabilitation and upgrade of two other pump stations, dredging and improvements of approximately ten miles of canals, replacement of undersized culverts and lake interconnect, replacement of multiple control structures and improvement of water quality standards within the District boundary. The Facilities Report was also used to modify existing conceptual permits through SFWMD, obtain construction permits for various infrastructures needed by the District and establish a strong Design Criteria for all future developments within the South Broward Drainage District. The Facilities Report was also provided to all Municipalities within the District (Pembroke Pines, Miramar, Davie, Hollywood and Southwest Ranches) as well as South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), Broward County Development and Environmental Regulation Division (BC DERD), State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Department of Community Affairs (DCA).

Mr. Taube is expert in analyzing soil and groundwater conditions for the purpose of designing optimal water resource usage. His design includes developing comprehensive three dimensional computer models for predicting groundwater flow and hydrogeological impacts as the basis for securing proper regulatory permitting. He is fluent in the requirements of the Florida DEP, Water Management District, and other regulatory agencies for successfully obtaining required permits. Mr. Taube routinely assesses sites for environmental contamination. His combined understanding of industrial activities and the behavior of contaminants in soil and groundwater provide a unique capacity to recognize and identify potential environmental liability. Once such potential is identified, Mr. Taube quantifies the contamination and oversees corrective action to remove the liability. Mr. Taube possesses the qualification to design and oversee the installation of water wells for the purpose both investigating site conditions and providing appropriate water supply needs. Groundwater modeling experience includes an EPA Superfund site, saline water intrusion, hydrogeology investigations, and water use permitting- compliance for dewatering, reverse osmosis, and effluent disposal systems.
