The structure is to be located in the L-29 canal, located <br />at the southern extent of the new L-67D Levee (i.e. Blue Shanty Levee), which will intersect with the L-29 <br />levee and extend from the Tamiami Trail northward to the L-67A levee. Acting as the Architect -Engineer (A- <br />E) under a Federal Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) with USACE Jacksonville, ECP Consultants <br />Inc. was contracted to perform the Project Management required to furnish all necessary services, surveys, <br />field investigations, geotechnical, environmental, utility, real estate, construction cost estimates, CFD <br />modeling, studies, and coordination with SFWMD and FDOT, as required to create detailed engineering and <br />design products, development of optimized project features, preparation of a design documentation <br />report(DDR), construction contract plans, and contract technical specifications. Engineering and design <br />(E&D)consists of incorporating the various design data, investigations, and information provided in the DDR <br />into the plans and specifications (P&S). Work includes performing detailed structural, geotechnical, hydraulic <br />and hydrologic analyses, and design of the project’s components. The proposed S-355Wstructure was <br />designed to be a trapezoidal weir concrete spillway with steel vertical lift gates for controlled discharge <br />operations. The proposed structure is a two bay gated spillway with the design capacity 1,200 cfs and a <br />separated FDOT downstream public two-lane traffic bridge. The integrated design required detailed <br />coordination with the Design Leads of SFWMD, FDOT, FPL, AT&T as well as USACE. <br />•Dispersed Water Management El Maximo Ranch, The Garica Companies Designer Engineer of Record; <br />providing Engineering support for the design report, plans and specifications and engineering during <br />construction for a Dispersed Water Management System (DWS) on the EL Maximo Ranch in Osceola <br />County, FL. The DWS is intended to assist in managing source basin runoff from the basin by attenuating <br />peak flows and temporarily storing a portion of stormwater runoff prior to it being conveyed downstream. <br />Flows are received via the Kissimmee River from the west and from the north via Blanket Bay Slough. The <br />DWS will consist of 8 basins isolated by earthen berms. Four Electrical Inflow 100 cfs Pump Station’s, nine <br />52
