I <br /> It is extremely important to clarify that the architectural firm responsible for the existing Government <br /> Center was Spillis Candela & Partners where at that time, I was the Principal in Charge and Project <br /> Designer, Jackie Candela the Project Architect and Carlos Vilato the Senior Designer. Jackie, Carlos <br /> and I very proud to have joined Perkins+Will almost two years ago and bring our collective exper- <br /> tise and great working relationship once again to the City of Sunny Isles Beach. Additionally,we <br /> have teamed with many of the same consultants involved with the original Government Center design <br /> including Savino Miller for Landscape Architecture and Igor Gonzalez and his firm for Mechanical <br /> Engineering. <br /> Perkins+Will/Miami currently totals 48 professionals across Architecture, Interior Design, Urban <br /> Planning and Landscape Architecture and has the depth of expertise in Civic Facilities, Kindergarten <br /> through Twelfth Grade Educational Facilities, Corporate Office, Retail and Fitness/Wellness Projects <br /> and Structured Garages and is committed to delivering this project on time and on budget. <br /> Our current workload anticipates a start for this project in the summer of 2015 and the design team <br /> will begin immediately after client notice to proceed. Perkins+Will is committed to a collaborative and <br /> inclusive process where all of the stakeholders participate in the refinement of the mixed-use build- <br /> ing program and subsequent design process. Additionally as you know from our working relationship <br /> on Government Center, we are receptive and responsive to the Mayor, City Commissioners and City <br /> Manager's direction knowing that interaction results in an even better product for all. I <br /> Chris: the mixed-use program for the new building is exactly the kind of hybrid building type in which <br /> we excel; a collection of uses that result in a dynamic and exciting Architectural statement important <br /> to the City of Sunny Isles Beach that is at the same time highly functional and respecting of budget <br /> I <br /> and schedule. <br /> R evards.
