e ® Water and Sewer ® CMA has extensive experience in the design of water main, force main, gravity sewer and lift station design for municipalities and utilities.Our engineers have the experience to address the more important • utility issues and work to recommend and prioritize phasing for potential improvements.Whether it is ® improving the access for fire protection, reviewing the potential for reclaimed water through a portion ® of the City, or reviewing a segment of J'. development on behalf of the City, CMA can • �- 11assist in each one of these design needs. t. • ? r; l ® Na' ,2�, , _ r ) 1 .rt. t. i ,i iA •-. 1 (`( sf • !, I r I17- .t1 ® ') ,/ _ . . , r ® :_ .... ® Project Design ® Upon final review and analysis of existing conditions along with initial modeling efforts,alternatives can be developed for review with City of Sunny Isles Beach Staff and the Miami-Dade County Permitting, • Environment and Regulatory Affairs(PERA formerly DERM), Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department ® and/or North Miami Beach (water/sewer utility), and the Fire Department and staff, as necessary, to ® achieve identified project goals. Based on initial analysis,proposed alternatives will be presented to the • City of Sunny Isles Beach along with an estimated project budget, a time line to complete the project, and an achieved level-of-service goal. In addition, CMA will identify the constraints of the proposed ® options. CMA will review the proposed alternatives with City staff, answer any questions/concerns ® raised by the City,and receive City input to identify the best solution to achieve the project goals.Once the best alternative is identified, CMA will develop proposed project plans and bidding documents to • construct the proposed project. • As part of the project design, CMA utilizes the latest available software to develop construction • documents.The Chen Moore team typically implements the latest versions of AutoCAD,AutoCAD Civil 3D,GIS and Microsoft Office programs to develop construction plans and contract documents. o Having worked almost exclusively with public clients, the Chen Moore team has a proven ability to accurately and expeditiously handle the project delivery method of a public client, most of which are • quite similar,as most procurement is part of State statutes. ® Cost Estimating • Another important part of the project design is the project cost estimate.CMA uses two main methods ® for determining accurate unit prices in order to arrive at an accurate cost estimate. The first method is to consult with the construction management staff to determine the current bidding climate. The ® second method is to consult with other public sources,such as various municipal and county purchasing • websites,to follow patterns in the bidding of other similar projects. • B • CHEN*aM'Dl'RE RPoNo.11-04-01 Continuing Professional Architectural&Engineering Services Firms Only(((NA) ® Category:Civil Engineering 4.5
