Attention: Mr. Quentin Pough, CPRP, CPSI
Director of Parks and Recreation
Reference: Ludlum Glades Park – 7435 SW 66 Ave
City of South Miami, Florida
Dear Mr. Pough:
We are pleased to present this proposal for professional engineering services. We understand that the City
of South Miami would like to convert the recently purchased residential property located at 7435 SW 66th
Ave (14,810 SF) into a public park. We also understand that the City has included construction funds under
Fiscal Year 2020/2021 and therefore would like to bid the project in October 2020.
SCOPE OF SERVICES:
TASK 1 – Due Diligence Phase
Consultant shall review existing documents such as as-built drawings, property records, permit history and
City of South Miami information to serve as a benchmark for existing site conditions. Any documentation
regarding the property that is available to the City shall be submitted to us for review of that data.
Prior to this field review, a desktop environmental review of pertinent environmental databases will be
reviewed to determine potential natural resources that may be in the project area. A comprehensive
environmental field review shall be performed to determine the potential impacts involving construction on
the environment. This will include a jurisdictional wetland review of the project area to determine the
presence/absence and/or extent of jurisdictional wetlands on-site; a protected species survey to determine
the presence/absence of and/or utilization by any federal or state listed species. In addition, if determined
necessary a benthic survey of the waterway will be performed to determine the presence/absence of
protected marine resources including but not limited to seagrasses and corals. It is anticipated this
comprehensive review could be accomplished in one 8-hr field day. The results of this field review will be
documented in a report which shall be included in the application packages to the jurisdictional agencies
involved during the permitting phase. This report will include representative photographs of the project
area, maps documenting the location of the project area, exhibits documenting the aerial extent of any
jurisdictional wetland resources in the vicinity, and exhibits documenting any other natural resources
pertinent to the permit reviews.
We will obtain a topographic and tree survey of the project area and a geotechnical report for use in our
design. See attached sub-consultant proposals.

TASK 2 - Conceptual Design Phase
Up to three conceptual design plans for the development of the Ludlum Glades Park will be prepared for use
at two public input sessions. Conceptual plans will be based on the site survey, including general
topographic information and tree locations. High quality trees will be retained within the conceptual
designs; however, it is assumed all existing structures will be removed or replaced. Conceptual design
plans will be for illustrative purposes only and will convey anticipated uses as determined by the Parks &
Recreation Department, to include:
• Half-court basketball court
• Pavilion(s)
• Tot-lot
• Floating dock or ramp for non-motorized boat operators
• Sidewalks
• Landscape Areas
TASK 3 – Community Input Meetings on Conceptual Design Phase
Following completion of the conceptual designs, Stantec will host two public input meetings for community
review. These will be held at a location determined by the Parks and Recreation Department. It is
understood that the Department will provide public notification to neighborhoods surrounding the park
project and will be responsible for costs associated with any meeting venue fees or equipment usage.
Public input meetings will be informal; however, they will gather written comments and/or a project survey
to formalize community feedback. Prior to the meetings, illustrations and any survey forms will be provided
to the Department for distribution to residents that may be unable to attend the public meetings. A
summary of each meeting and overall results/feedback will be provided to the Department prior to
completing the Design Development Phase.
TASK 4 – Design Development Phase
Following public input, one final conceptual plan will be refined and reviewed with the Parks & Recreation
Department for confirmation on final design plans. During this process, additional items may be added to
the design. It is also assumed that principles of CPTED and xeriscaping should be included. Ensuring ADA
accessibility and considerations for durability and maintenance will be incorporated into the final concept
plan. An opinion of probable cost will also be included in this phase.
TASK 5 – Construction Documents Phase
This phase will provide plans and specifications for Landscape, Hardscape, Furnishings, and Irrigation Site
Development drawings in coordination with the City’s Parks and Recreation Department and Stantec team
including Engineering Grading, Drainage. One 50% design review meeting with the Parks and Recreation
Department is anticipated within the Schedule. Stantec will select one or two pre-fabricated park shelters
and review submittals during construction phase. (size and location to be coordinated during task 4).
Shelters will include electrical power/outlets but no lighting. Site lighting design is not included as the park
will be closed at sunset.
TASK 6 - Permitting Phase
Our services include plan submittal to the required permitting agencies (Miami Dade DERM, City of South
Miami and the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE)) for their review and approval. We will provide
7
December 10, 2019
Page 3 of 4
complete permit applications with all environmental documentation pertaining to existing habitat and
protected species utilization to supplement the permit applications, address agency comments and re-issue
plans as required.
Anticipated Environmental Permits:
- DERM Class III Permit: The Class III permit is needed for construction within non-tidal canals
or areas under the direct control of Miami-Dade County, such as canal rights-of-way, canal
maintenance easements and reservations.
- USACE NWP No. 36: Boat Ramps: dependent on USACE claiming jurisdiction over surface water
as WOTUS
The consultant will respond to as many as two (2) rounds of reasonable requests for additional information
from each of the above referenced agencies regarding the application submittal packages. These services
include pre-application and coordination meetings with some of the agencies.
Any significant plan revisions caused by changing agency criteria after our initial design is reviewed with
each appropriate agency and similar factors outside the Consultant’s control, additional meetings or
coordination will be considered as Additional Services.
Application, review fees, and permit fees can be paid for from the $2,000 allowance. Any amounts in
addition to the $2,000 will be a City Responsibility.
TASK 7 – Bidding Assistance Phase
Bidding assistance and bid review services will be provided in this phase including preparing our
documents for City advertisement and distribution, attending one pre-bid conference, answering RFI’s, and
review/recommend responsive bidder list to the City for contractor selection.
TASK 8 – Construction Assistance Phase
This phase includes attendance at weekly site meetings, on site presence to observe the progress of the
work, site reporting of observations, review of contractor’s request for payment, Shop Drawing review,
substantial and final completion reviews. Stantec will perform construction observations during
construction activities based to one visit a week for 16 weeks (limited to 64 hours). Project close out will
include turn-over of copies of Stantec project documents, final payment requisition, warranty and
contractor as-built document reviews.

Re: Proposal for Geotechnical Exploration Services
Proposed City of South Miami Park
7435 SW 66th Avenue
South Miami, FL 33143
Dear Mr. Herdocia:
Nutting Engineers of Florida, Inc. (NE) is pleased to present this proposal for performing geotechnical exploration services for
the referenced project.
Per your email dated November 14, 2019 and review of the site plan provided, we understand that plans for this project
include construction of a new gazebo, new restroom building, and boat ramp at the referenced site. Based on your request
for proposal and our understanding of the project, we propose the following scope of work and fee schedule.
SCOPE OF WORK
We propose to perform one Standard Penetration Test (SPT) boring in general accordance with ASTM D-1586 specifications to
a depth of 25 feet in the area of the proposed construction. Additionally, we propose to perform one South Florida Water
Management District (SFWMD) usual type open-hole exfiltration test to a depth of 15 feet in an effort to measure the
hydraulic conductivity of the existing soils at specific test locations for site drainage evaluation by others. The proposed tests
will be performed at locations identified by Stantec personnel.
At the completion of the on-site work, the soil samples will be returned to our laboratory. We will provide an engineering
report including a description of our findings and general site preparation and foundation design recommendations for
support of the proposed structures. In order to provide information concerning the engineering properties of the soils
encountered, it is anticipated that tests may be performed to determine natural water content, orga nic content, and sieve
analysis on representative soil samples collected from the site. The engineering report will include graphic logs of the test
borings and a test boring location plan. We assume the site is accessible to truck mounted drilling equip ment and that
underground utilities will be cleared by others prior to our performing the on-site work.

General Terms and Conditions
For the purpose of this project, the addressee of this proposal will be known as the Client. The client is expected to furnish NUTTING ENGINEERS OF FLORIDA, INC. (“NE”), with accurate
information including sketch of survey and/or site plan, construction drawings/specifications as appropriate, details of proposed construction including the proposed structural system and
loads or existing construction problem information and site accessibility information as appropriate. Other information requirements may be detailed in the enclosed proposal. IF ANY
CONDITIONS CHANGE such as building layout, loading, project specifications/design, or unusual site conditions are observed, NE should be notified immediately in writing about the changed
condition for possible review and comment. Should the Client wish to impose other conditions and requirements beyond those contained in this proposal such as in a separate
contract, we reserve the option to modify contract language, fee amounts, to remove our proposal from consideration or other measures as may be indicated.
Delivery – Scheduled upon receipt of written authorization to proceed and deposit unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. Additional report copies can be provided for a nominal
fee to the Client. NE will exercise appropriate measures to ensure project completion within a reasonable time frame subject to existing workloads. However, NE will not be held responsible
for unavailability of necessary project data and site access within the time frame agreed upon for the investigation. Project delivery may be delayed if the ENTIRE signed proposal and deposit
are not received in a timely manner. The ENTIRE signed quotation should be returned along with the requested project information. This unsigned proposal is valid for 60 days.
Payment - No deposit required with signed agreement. Directing NE to proceed with the work shall constitute acceptance of the terms of NE’s proposal and these General Terms and
Conditions. Balance due upon delivery of report. Interest at the rate of 18% per annum or the highest rate allowable by law whichever is less, will be added to all amounts not paid within 30
days after date of invoice. All attorney fees and expenses associated with collection of past due invoices will be paid by Client.
Insurance – NE maintains Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liability Insurance in conformance with state law. In addition, we maintain Comprehensive General Liability Insurance and
Automobile Liability Insurance with bodily injury limits of $1,000,000.00 and property damage limits of $1,000,000.00. A certificate of insurance can be supplied evidencing such coverage
which contains a clause providing that fifteen days written notice be given prior to cancellation.
Right-of-Entry - Unless otherwise agreed, Client will furnish right-of-entry on the property for NE to make the planned borings, surveys, and/or explorations. NE will not be responsible for
removing fences, earth berms, vegetation or other obstructions for purposes of our investigation. NE will take reasonable precautions to minimize damage to the property caused by its
equipment and sampling procedures, but the cost of restoration or damage which may result from the planned operations is not included in the contracted amount. If Client desires to
restore the property to its former condition, NE will accomplish this and add the cost to its fee. Client agrees to waive all claims arising from or related to the failure to provide NE with proper
access to conduct its work.
Damage to Existing Man-made Objects - It shall be the responsibility of the Owner or his duly authorized representative to disclose the presence and accurate location of all hidden or
obscure man-made objects relative to routes of access, field tests, sampling, or boring locations. When cautioned, advised or given data in writing that reveal the presence or potential
presence of underground or over-ground obstructions, such as utilities, septic tanks, etc., NE will give special instructions to its field personnel. In addition, Client waives any claim against NE
arising from damage to existing man-made objects.
Warranty and Limitation of Liability - NE shall perform services for Client in a professional manner, using that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised by and consistent with the
standards of competent consultants practicing in the same or a similar locality as the project. In the event any portion of the services fails to comply with this warranty obligation and NE is
promptly notified in writing prior to one year after completion of such portion of the services, NE will re-perform such portion of the services, or if re-performance is impracticable, NE will
refund the amount of compensation paid to NE for such portion of the services. This warranty is in lieu of all other warranties. No other warranty, expressed or implied, including warranties
of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose is made or intended by the proposal for consulting services, by furnishing an oral response of the findings made or by any
representations made regarding the services included in this agreement. In no event shall NE or any of its professional employees be liable for any special, indirect, incidental or
consequential loss or damages, including but not limited to impact and delay claims. The remedies set forth herein are exclusive and the total liability of consultant whether in contract, tort
(including negligence whether sole or concurrent), or otherwise arising out of, connected with or resulting from the services provided pursuant to this Agreement shall not exceed the total
fees paid by Client or $50,000.00, whichever is greater. At additional cost, Client may obtain a higher limit prior to commencement of services.
PURSUANT TO §558.0035, FLORIDA STATUTES, NE’S INDIVIDUAL EMPLOYEES AND/OR AGENTS MAY NOT BE HELD
INDIVIDUALLY LIABLE FOR NEGLIGENCE ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, OR RESULTING FROM THEIR SERVICES
PROVIDED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT.
Indemnification – Client agrees to defend, indemnify and save harmless NE from all claims, including negligence claims, suits, losses, personal injuries, death
and property liability resulting from NE’s performance of the proposed work, whether such claims or damages are caused in part by NE, and agrees to
reimburse NE for expenses in connection with any such claims or suits, including reasonable attorney’s fees. Client’s obligation to indemnify is limited to $2
million per occurrence, which Client agrees bears a reasonable commercial relationship to the Work undertaken by NE. Client further agrees that these general
conditions are a part of the Work’s specifications or bid documents, if any. 16

Sampling or Testing Location - Unless specifically stated to the contrary, the unit fees included in this proposal do not include costs associated with professional land surveying of the site or
the accurate horizontal and vertical locations of tests. Field tests or boring locations described in our report or shown on our sketches are based on specific information furnished to us by
others and/or estimates made in the field by our technicians. Such dimensions, depths or elevations should be considered as approximations unless otherwise stated in the report. It is
understood that all drilling locations are accessible to conventional truck mounted drilling equipment unless otherwise specified by the client. If unscheduled remobilizations or use of
portable or all terrain equipment is required additional charges will apply. NE will attempt to clear utilities at our excavation/test locations by manual drilling to 3' below land surface (BLS).
Any utilities/obstructions present at client specified test locations or below 3' BLS will be the responsibility of the client.
Sample Handling and Retention – Generally soil test samples are retained for approximately three months after which time they will be discarded unless written instructions to the contrary
are received from the client.
Legal Jurisdiction - The parties agree that any actions brought to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall only be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in Palm Beach
County, Florida. Any and all causes of action arising out of NE's performance of the Work, including but not limited to claims for indemnity, contribution and equitable subrogation, shall be
deemed to have accrued and the applicable statutes of limitations shall commence to run not later than the date of NE's last invoice for the Work performed hereunder.
Force Majeure - NE shall not be held responsible for any delay or failure in performance of any part of this Agreement to the extent such delay or failure is caused by fire, flood, explosion,
war, strike, embargo, government requirement, civil or military authority, acts of God, act or omission of subcontractors, carriers, client or other similar causes beyond its control.
Documents - NE shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy and completeness of all surveys, reports and information furnished by the client. If conditions different from those described in
our report are found at the site, NE should be notified in writing immediately upon discovery. NE reserves the right to revise conclusions and recommendations presented in the final report
should additional information regarding the project become available. All permits will be obtained by others unless otherwise specified in this proposal or in writing to NE. NE has no liability
for consequences of information not provided or unavailable or otherwise not reviewed or known from the normal sources customarily examined by NE in such investigations within the time
frame allowed for this investigation under this agreement. The client, entities identified in writing on the address portion of our report, design team professionals engaged by our client and
building official staff are entitled to use and rely upon NE’S reports for purposes of the current project. Other parties are not authorized to use or rely upon NE’S reports unless NE so states in
writing.
