RE:	Request for Qualifications for Professional Engineering Services Blackburn Creek Community Development District (CDD)

Dear Selection Committee:

A Community Development District (CDD) is integral in providing the residents of the community it serves the highest quality of life possible, ensuring that high standards of development will continue to be met long into the future. Blackburn Creek CDD is no exception. We understand the district is responsible for maintaining its existing infrastructure, providing capital improvements, and improving the quality of the development, all while operating within closely monitored and audited budgets to meet the high expectations for the community they serve. It is crucial to your CDD’s continued long-term success that your consulting engineer shares your focus on careful, timely, and cost-conscious fulfillment of the residents’ expectations.
Brletic Dvorak, Inc. (BDI) has successfully performed on a myriad of general service contracts based on our reputation for delivering a high-quality product and outstanding service to our partners.
Leading our commitment to the Blackburn Creek CDD is myself, Robert Dvorak, PE. I have over 35 years of civil engineering experience and a strong understanding of the unique needs of a CDD. My ability to develop strong relationships with clients has ensured that the end results exceed the expectations of District Managers through careful coordination of schedules, budgets, and priorities. I am most proud of my reputation of responsiveness when addressing the needs of BDI’s clients. The point of contact for this CDD will be myself, Robert Dvorak, with an assistant Project Manager in Jerry Whited, our field manager. We will be responsible for attending District Board meetings, coordinating projects and construction inspection services, and any other engineering tasks.

BDI’s staff has a breadth of experience in working with CDDs, which means you benefit by getting professional expertise delivered with a personalized approach and attentiveness to your needs. As the District Engineer for several similar CDDs, we believe we have a thorough understanding of your service requirements.
Our first priority is to establish a personalized team for each individual work assignment undertaken. This process begins with understanding your needs. Based on our coordination and research, we will assign a project team that has the best experience to meet those needs. I will strategically determine how to best utilize our internal resources as well as choose subconsultants, if needed, that would best complete the team. This approach ensures that we have the right resources to exceed your expectations.

vegetation restrictions that may exist. These maps are living documents that may be updated as your community grows or as vendor needs change. BDI can also provide asset reports cataloging facilities or property, such as stormwater facilities or streets, for condition, suggested maintenance, or replacement so that future capital fund expenditures may be scheduled in advance.
