<br />● Weighted average of number of mechanical lifts and/
<br />or other automated parking system, versus regular
<br />parking spaces (if applicable);
<br />● The valet processing rate, which is calculated by adding
<br />the time it will take a valet attendant to process the
<br />vehicles, the time it will take the valet attendant to
<br />park or retrieve a vehicle (driving time and mechanical
<br />lift timing requirement), and the time it takes for the
<br />valet attendant to walk to and from the parking area;
<br />● The driving time for the valet attendant is assumed at
<br />a speed of 10 mph;
<br />● The walking time for the valet attendant is assumed at
<br />a speed of 6 ft/sec.; and,
<br />● The mechanical lift elevator processing time, per
<br />vendor specifications.
<br /> ► Civil / Environmental Engineering and Evaluation and Design
<br />The correct application of urban planning should result
<br />in formal design and construction of roadway elements.
<br />Corridor plans with Complete Streets principles are the
<br />basis for roadway redesign. Corradino’s expertise includes
<br />design services for below- and above-ground infrastructure,
<br />traffic calming and streetscapes. The firm has won awards
<br />for its innovative and pedestrian-friendly designs. Corradino
<br />provides a variety of civil engineering, roadway and storm
<br />water services. Many of its projects consist of design of
<br />drainage facilities, and streetscapes to upgrade antiquated
<br />infrastructure and enhance the level-of-service of that
<br />drainage infrastructure, in addition to developing a more
<br />context-sensitive streetscape focused on a sustainable urban
<br />form. These projects included total reconstruction, including
<br />roadway lanes, parking, new drainage systems, signing, and
<br />pavement markings, signalization, lighting, and landscaping.
<br />Drainage reconstruction consisted of installation of exfiltration
<br />trenches to meet water quality and flood protection criteria.
<br />Corradino manages the construction of roadway facilities.
<br />The firm has recently completed the construction
<br />management of the I-595 improvement project, and
<br />managed the largest roadway project in the state, the
<br />reconstruction of I-95 through Palm Beach County, as well
<br />as currently overseeing the I-395 reconstruction project
<br />in Downtown Miami. Corradino understands the federal
<br />regulations for assuring that construction firms build to
<br />the plans, that materials are tested and inspected and,
<br />when needed, Stimulus/Infrastructure Funds are tracked
<br />appropriately. This means tracking jobs, interns and
<br />disadvantaged businesses, along with materials.
<br />Designing roadway and drainage improvements requires an
<br />interactive process. Our approach is to create sustainable
<br />corridors with ease of maintenance through the selection
<br />of systems and materials. Our overall design goals also aim
<br />to improve stormwater management, while providing a safe
<br />and secure environment for vehicular traffic, pedestrians,
<br />and bicyclists.
<br />Each project is individually assessed to develop a design
<br />that complements the on-site infrastructure conditions,
<br />meets the City's program, is compatible with adjacent
<br />uses, and is consistent with the local culture. Our team
<br />carefully analyzes existing infrastructure conditions,
<br />which include environmental resources, geotechnical
<br />conditions, vegetation, topography, site contamination,
<br />cultural resources, historic resources, circulation, access,
<br />existing utilities, maintenance resources and stakeholder
<br />resources. Our team also assesses project location,
<br />surrounding land use and historical overlay. This allows
<br />for consideration of existing features concurrent with the
<br />development of potential improvements. Site visits, traffic
<br />studies and surveys assist in determining any potential
<br />constraints, such as existing specimen trees, underground
<br />and overhead utilities, signage, environmental
<br />considerations, residential and commercial interfaces,
<br />pedestrian connectivity and safety.
<br /> ►Sustainability
<br />Corradino is committed to implementing sustainable,
<br />green practices. We use best practices and technology
<br />for stormwater management, planting and irrigation. For
<br />example, paving surfaces for pedestrians can be constructed
<br />with pervious pavers, taking advantage of new South
<br />Florida Water Management (SFWMD) policies, which credit
