Nicholas Kanelidis, PE, Page 2 <br />Project scope included design, permitting, cost estimating, preparing technical specifications, reviewing front-end documents <br />for advertising, assistance during bidding, evaluating bidders, periodic construction inspections, approving shop drawings, and <br />reviewing RFI’s. CGA is currently under contract for limited construction services as the project finishes. 2020 – 2021. <br />North Galt Shops Streetscapes and Parking Improvements, Fort Lauderdale, FL: Project Manager for a streetscapes and <br />parking improvement project that included new landscape, irrigation, decorative light poles, curbing, pavement, striping, signage, <br />sidewalk, drainage infrastructure, and geometric traffic improvements. The existing hardscape and landscape needed replacement <br />due to years of use and harsh environment, and traffic flow and pedestrian crossings left room for improvement. Consequently, <br />the design included new crosswalks and traffic flow patterns. Additionally, the existing drainage system had to be redesigned <br />to accommodate these changes. Project scope included design, permitting, reviewing and incorporating Geotechnical and <br />Subsurface Utility Exploration reports, quantity take-offs and cost estimating, value engineering, preparing technical specifications, <br />and bidding assistance. CGA is currently under contract to provide support services during construction that include conducting <br />construction progress meetings, performing routine site inspections, reviewing shop drawings, responding to Contractor RFI’s, <br />assisting the City in reviewing payment requisitions and change orders or claims, reviewing as-builts, performing substantial and <br />final completion walk-through inspections, and closing out permits with final certifications. 2019 – 2021. <br />Biscaya Island Subaqueous Water Main Crossing, Surfside, FL: Project Manager for a water main replacement project within a <br />residential community. The Town had concerns with the shallow depth of the existing subaqueous water main causing navigability <br />issues for deeper vessels within the canal. Therefore, the design included horizontal directional drilling approximately 600 linear <br />feet of new 8-inch pipe to clear the canal bottom by at least 10 feet and then capping and abandoning the existing water main in <br />place. Additionally, two new hydrants and reconnection of several water services were included. The project was partially grant <br />funded by FDEP, so regular progress reports and maintaining the project schedule were crucial. Project scope included design, <br />permitting, cost estimating, preparing technical specifications, reviewing front-end documents for advertising, assistance during <br />bidding, evaluating bidders, periodic construction inspections, approving shop drawings, reviewing RFI’s, managing the grant, <br />and final project certification to close out permits. 2019 – 2021. <br />Phase 3B Water Improvements, Bal Harbour, FL: Project Manager for a water improvements project within a gated residential <br />community that included approximately 2,700 linear feet of new 8-inch pipe with new water services, hydrants, and valves. Due <br />to its age, the existing water main needed to be replaced. Additionally, some of the existing water main within the project area <br />was located within the rear lots, causing significant maintenance challenges. Therefore, the design included relocating backyard <br />services to the front of the properties. This included horizontal directional drilling new service pipe from the front of each property <br />to the rear. Most of the new water main was designed and constructed by horizontal directional drilling to limit disruption to the <br />residents along with restoration requirements. Project scope included design, permitting, coordinating with Geotechnical and SUE <br />Subconsultants, daily construction inspections, administering construction progress meetings, reviewing payment applications, <br />approving shop drawings, reviewing RFI’s, and final project certification to close out permits. 2020 – 2021. <br />Lift Station No. 48 Rehabilitation and Force Main Replacement, Cooper City, FL: Project Manager for a municipal sewer pump <br />station rehabilitation project that also included approximately 1,400 linear feet of force main replacement. Located in a residential <br />neighborhood, the existing station utilized suction-lift pumps that were housed above the wet well and were nearing the end <br />of their useful service life. Additionally, the existing 4-inch cast iron force main was extremely corroded causing a significant <br />reduction pump performance. The design included a conversion of the station to a submersible type with new pumps, a new valve <br />vault, and a new 4-inch HDPE force main designed primarily for horizontal direction drilling installation. Project scope included <br />design, permitting, incorporating Geotechnical and SUE findings, preparing a cost estimate, technical specifications, bidding <br />assistance, coordinating and running construction progress meetings, conducting routine inspections, reviewing shop drawings, <br />addressing Contractor RFI’s, and final project certification. 2019 – 2021. <br />Lift Station No. 18 Rehabilitation, Davie, FL: Project Manager for a municipal lift station rehabilitation project located within a <br />residential neighborhood. The existing submersible pump configuration did not include a guide rail system nor enough clearance <br />to remove pumps from the wet well to perform inspections. Instead, Town Staff had to enter the confined space to perform such <br />work. Both existing pumps had failed, and the station was using spare pumps. Additionally, the existing valve vault was settling, <br />and the mechanical appurtenances needed replacement. The design included new pumps with a guiderail system, new top slab <br />with access hatch, and new aboveground piping and valves on a concrete slab on grade. The project scope included site visit <br />documentation, coordination with pump manufacturers, hydraulic calculations, electrical and instrumentation, cost estimating, <br />preparation of contract documents, addressing Bidder RFI’s, evaluating bid submittals, reviewing shop drawings, addressing <br />Contractor RFI’s, reviewing and negotiating change orders as needed, performing routine inspections, approving Contractor <br />payment applications, conducting construction progress meetings, reviewing as-builts, and final project certification. 2018 – <br />2020.112
