21THE WEITZ COMPANY // GOVERNMENT CENTER ANNEX, RFQ NO. 15-08-02 / CITY OF SUNNY ISLES BEACH, FL SECTION F // RELATED EXPERIENCE The Weitz Company has built an extensive portfolio of government, education, and community-related work in South Florida—including the original Sunny Isles Beach Government Center, completed in 2005. As Construction Manager, Weitz provided 12 months of preconstruction services to assure all cost, schedule and quality items achieved the desired result. We created implementation plans to solve logistical challenges, such as building in the restricted space between Collins Avenue and Atlantic Boulevard. We learned the City’s systems and operations, and in the end, Weitz completed this award-winning building three months ahead of the contracted schedule. Thus began a relationship with the City that later resulted in Weitz’s management of another very visible public project—Gateway Park, which is now nearing completion. PROVEN RESULTS ON SIMILAR PROJECTS Since building your original Government Center, Weitz has successfuly completed many other government and educational facilities with similar project scope. Roughly half of our backlog at any one time consists of public projects, such as the Miami Dade College Wolfson Campus Parking Garage and the State of Florida 4th District Court of Appeal courthouse in West Palm Beach. We have built education facilities at Palm Beach International University, Florida Institute of Technology, and the University of North Florida as well as for Broward and Palm Beach County public school districts. And we are known for our success at two highly visible research institutes that arrived in South Florida over the past decade: The Scripps Florida Research Institute and Max Planck Florida Institute. QUALITY WORKMANSHIP = REPEAT CLIENTS Weitz has a reputation for building quality projects and standing by our work long after the warranty period. That is how we have developed relationships with so many repeat clients. Here is a sample: Broward County: Serving as Owner’s Representative on the new County Courthouse for the past five years, and just selected as the County’s Representative for the Convention Center Expansion and Hotel. Palm Beach County: 27 projects over the past 12 years Palm Beach Atlantic University: Five projects Florida Institute of Technology: Two projects in a 4-year span The Breakers Palm Beach: More than 90 projects; Weitz has been this prestigious hotel’s on-site Design-Build vendor for the past 23 years.
