DESIGN EXPERIENCE WITH ROADWAY AND DRAINAGE PROJECTS SRS has immeasurable exposure to the design and construction management of roadway projects. We have embarked on the roadway designs of numerous municipalities, for example Miami-Dade County, City of Miami, Town of Medley, and an array of private land development projects. The latest project contribution encompasses several roadway and drainage improvement projects that have been performed on NW 58th Street and West Dixie Highway for Miami-Dade County; several roadways for the City of Hialeah totaling over 26-miles of roadways comprising of several different locations: W 36th Avenue (NW 97th Avenue) and NW 138th Street and adjacent canal; Miller Drive (SW 56th Street) widening; the extension of SW 120th Street; and the Roadway Beautification Project of Collins Avenue. A very intricate roadway SRS designed was NW 138th Street, which had a construction cost of over $12,450,000. There were many factors that contributed to the complexity of this roadway project, for one it was a 6-lane divided roadway that required a continuous drainage system and 1.4 miles of street lighting. There were signalized intersections at NW 97th Avenue, NW 102nd Avenue, and NW 107th Avenue, as well as double left turns and deceleration lanes. On top of that there was a 50’ wide drainage canal with culverts and a canal wall along the north side of NW 138th Street between NW 97th Avenue and I-75. The project’s obligatory permits ranged from city permits from Hialeah, Hialeah Gardens, Miami-Dade County, RER (DERM), FDOT, SFWMD, COE, and DEP; to a couple of Environmental Resources Permits (ERP) such as cut and fill calculations and wetland mitigation. Aside from our county and municipal roadway design experience, SRS has planned and designed over 2,200-acres of land developments projects within Miami-Dade County. These land developments consist of the design of all roadways and storm water management systems, many of which are within Wetland/Environmentally sensitive areas. As an example of our capability to succeed in large and multifaceted projects, SRS was the program manager (Master Consultant) for the DERM FEMA/DORM Program. The FEMA/DORM project was a cooperatively funded effort supported by the Federal Government, State of Florida, and Miami-Dade County intended to mitigate problems that arose as a result of Hurricane Irene (October 1999) and the “No Name Storm” (October 2000). As a Master Consultant we were responsible for the coordination of twelve engineering design consultants and seven land surveying firms involved in the design of approximately four hundred ninety mitigation projects. These projects ranged from drainage improvements to total roadway reconstruction, canal dredging, culvert cleaning, and canal bank restoration. We oversaw the construction efforts of five contractors performing work with an estimated construction value of $35,000,000.00. Furthermore, we were accountable for all document control related to these projects, approval of payment for design, surveying, geotechnical reports, and construction in accordance with FEMA required guidelines. 58
