Professional Services Industries Inc. (PSI) The committee was provided with eight (8) qualification packets from interested service providers to review and rank. Following the review of the proposals, the members of the RFQ Evaluation Committee met and discussed the merits of the respondents on March 31, 2015. City staff contacted each of the ranked firms' references and found no exceptions or issues that would indicate any inability to perform the work as desired and needed. The scope of work performed through task orders issued under the continuing services contract may consist of, but not necessarily be limited to: soils investigation for design purposes, including season and high ground water levels, soil stability, drainage associated with hydrological groundwater modeling, supporting documentation for permitting, and construction administrative support (materials testing). The majority of the consultants' work will be working directly with City staff in internal design efforts and project management but work may be associated with Project identified in the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP). It is the intent of staff to rotate between the firms; and it is anticipated the annual expenditures for geotechnical services should range between $50,000 and $75,000.

Such projects include large and small scale water, sewer, and reclaimed utility projects, road construction and /or rebuild construction, extensions and/or stormwater related projects, and other geotechnical type projects. There may also be a periodic need to conduct Phase 1 environmental reviews and environmental lien searches related to the possible acquisition of real property by the City. A variety of testing and consultative tasks will be required in various combinations depending on the needs of each project. Each firm proposing to provide geotechnical testing services to the City shall provide a complete list of all such services normally available from that firm along with a unit price list of those services.

(PSI) thanks you for the opportunity to submit our statement of qualifications in response to your notice to professional geotechnical testing firms. We have reviewed the RFQ and are certain that PSI can provide the services requested in a timely and cost effective manner. PSI proposes to provide the City of Ocoee with the most qualified personnel to meet the needs of this continuing contract. Our staff includes many degreed and certified engineers in the disciplines required for your scope of work. The key technical personnel proposed for the project have all been working together for the past ten years at a minimum. PSI continues to successfully manage similar contracts with various City, County and State agencies and has done so for nearly 40 years in Central Florida. We have been continually under contract with the City of Ocoee, providing these same services, since 1999. As such, we are very familiar with your personnel, procedures, requirements, and expectations. We also have a clear understanding of state, county, city and water management district codes, regulations, and requirements. As a result of these experiences, we will not face a learning curve and are immediately prepared to provide the City with an unparalleled commitment. The attached statement of qualifications will describe our team's qualifications, abilities and resources available to continue meeting the needs of the City. PSI is confident that, with our demonstrated expertise and experience, size and qualified professional staff, we are the best choice to continue providing the City with professional services for geotechnical and construction materials testing services. PSI maintains the largest private laboratory, holding the most certifications in the State. We offer the City more than just the typical geotechnical, environmental, and materials testing services. We have in- house abilities to perform specialty services such as Pile Dynamic Analysis (PDA), conduct radiographic inspections, locate reinforcing and voids in concrete, perform ground penetrating radar (GPR), provide coatings and corrosion inspections, and offer environmental remediation, as well as many other specialized services. We have barge and track - mounted drill rigs, sonic logging abilities and in -house wood products, metallurgical and analytical laboratories. PSI provides a complete package to meet the City's needs. The following is a brief overview of our qualifications and the advantages that PSI will bring to the City of Ocoee: Professional Service industries, Inc. • 1748 33rd Street • Orlando, FL 32839 • Phone 407 - 304 -5560 • Fax 407 - 304 -5561 Engineering Certificate of Authorization 3684 Experienced Personnel: PSI's proposed single point of contact, Lance Reaves, has nearly 40 years of experience in the geotechnical engineering and construction materials testing field.

Along with Mr. Reaves, the rest of the PSI team has worked together on similar city master contracts during the past 10+ years and has an average of 20 years of experience within the testing and engineering industry. Proven Track Record & Local Knowledge: A large percentage of PSI's business is based on work from "repeat clients" who continually contract with PSI — including the City of Ocoee. We believe that this is a testament to our quality of service and performance ability. PSI has worked in Central Florida since 1975. We have provided the requested services on projects within Ocoee, as well as the surrounding areas. Our work in the greater Orange County area has made us very familiar with local procedures, conditions, regulations, and applicable codes. We currently hold contracts with Orange County and nearby Winter Garden. Our office and laboratory is located a mere 12 miles from the heart of Ocoee. Performance Ability: Due to the large size of PSI's staff and facilities, we are able to provide the quickest response times for both personnel and test results. PSI performs thousands of tests and inspections each week. This volume and capacity assures our clients of some of the fastest turn - around times in the industry. PSI's laboratory is one of only a few local labs with R -18 certification and full accreditation by AASHTO, CCRL, CMEC, and the Army Corps of Engineers. Our 50+ field and laboratory technicians are also certified by the pertinent industry accreditation agencies. Quality Control: PSI has invested millions of dollars and thousands of man -hours implementing PSIQEST (Quality, Efficiency, Standardization, and Technology). PSIQEST is our customized web -based solution that integrates the world's most powerful LIMS for engineering and testing services with a client portal and project and financial management toolset. Among the many innovative and efficient features of the system are the built -in data validation checks, equipment calibration controls and performance specifications to help assure laboratory performance, accuracy and accreditation. Commitment to Quality and Safety: Our management and staff are committed to providing the highest quality and most responsive professional services. This commitment has been demonstrated on past construction and geotechnical testing projects. Our corporation also maintains a stringent commitment to quality. All 100+ staff members in our Orlando operation attend bi- monthly safety meetings and complete rigorous on -line safety training throughout the year. PSI is confident that with our demonstrated abilities, experience, and competitive pricing, we are the best choice to provide geotechnical and material testing services to the City of Ocoee.

Firm's Qualifications o co�( Geotechnical Services • PSI has provided geotechnical design services for a wide array of project types throughout Florida, including: City County, and State roadway projects, utilities, schools, " it residential developments, hotels, hospitals, government -. buildings, high- rises, theme park attractions, communication 1 towers, multi -level parking garages and courthouses. Our geotechnical capabilities include site suitability studies, drilling services (subsurface exploration), foundation design (i.e. shallow foundations, driven piles, drilled shafts, auger cast piles, mat foundations), seasonal high water determinations, groundwater exploration and modeling (i.e. stormwater pond recovery, seepage evaluations, underdrain design, drawdown analyses), retaining wall analyses and pavement design, and preparation of earthwork specifications. PSI maintains a large variety of land and marine subsurface exploration equipment along with laboratory and office facilities. We have more than 100 fully equipped exploration crews with drill rigs mounted on all types of carriers to allow access to virtually any condition on land or water. The variety of sizes and types of equipment and our crews' broad experience permit flexibility in sampling and drilling techniques and in scheduling. We have seven drill crews immediately available including barge- mounted drill rigs, lightweight pneumatic tire drill rigs, track - mounted drill rigs, as well as other specialized equipment in our Orlando office. With this variety of drill rigs locally, our Orlando staff can drill on land, water, or even in a typical doorway. P51 is experienced and have performed hundreds of subsurface explorations within Orange County, as well as the surrounding areas. Our experience ranges from projects requiring a few soil borings to large projects requiring several hundred borings. Often Central Florida sites are not "the best" sites as related to geotechnical considerations. The evaluation of these properties is where our firm excels. We understand that construction needs to be safe, durable and cost effective. For the past 35+ years, we r y, have been providing geotechnical solutions for a variety of city and county governments throughout central Florida under these premises.
