<br /> 01 IM" Section 2 - Qualifications
<br /> P
<br /> • SGM's staff has a wealth of direct experience with governmental facilities throughout the State of Florida.
<br /> ® Throughout the 21 years of the company's existence, our engineers and staff have demonstrated extensive
<br /> experience and compatibility with design for new construction and retrofitting existing buildings. SGM is equally
<br /> ® comfortable serving as Prime or sub-consultant and has participated in jobs as small as a single home design to
<br /> • large scale jobs at the Orange County Convention Center, the nation's second largest convention center.
<br /> • SGM's Mechanical Engineers have experience in the design of mechanical systems including, but not limited to,
<br /> fire protection systems, all types and sizes of HVAC systems, high temperature hot water boilers, piping, fluid
<br /> • systems, chilled water, compressed gas systems, elevators, hoists and cranes, specialized mechanical equipment
<br /> ® and controls (including direct digital control (DDC), and programmable logic controllers (PLC), as well as facilities to
<br /> house the mechanical equipment.
<br /> ® SGM's Electrical Engineers are skilled in the design of electrical systems including, but not limited to, fire alarm
<br /> • and detection systems, medium and low voltage AC power systems, Electronic Security Systems (ESS),
<br /> ® uninterruptible power systems, computer power conditioning, grounding, lightning protection, lighting, emergency
<br /> power, hazardous area electrical installations, control and monitoring systems, cable tray systems, communications
<br /> • raceway systems, and communications premise wiring.
<br /> ® Fire Protection/Fire Alarm
<br /> In addition, SGM has been responsible for the mechanical and electrical renovation of numerous buildings.
<br /> Completed the replacement of existing voice and fire alarm systems, and mad conversions to conventional
<br /> ® horn/strobe system (allowed as a result of changes in applicable codes). SGM has conducted site investigations,
<br /> ® which identified the ADA, HVAC, fire alarm, lighting, space planning and FF&E needs. Provide smoke detectors as
<br /> required and upgraded building fire alarm and intercom systems.
<br /> SGM has provided Mechanical / Fire Protection Engineering services the required staff in all disciplines to perform
<br /> • job assignments expected for this contract. The staff committed to this project will be immediately available for this
<br /> • assignment and the depth of staff will provide support when necessary to handle multiple projects concurrently.
<br /> • Fire Flow Test
<br /> A two hydrant water flow test will be conducted within six months prior to permitting. The information will include
<br /> • date and time of test, who conducted the test, static gauge pressure at no flow, flow rate with residual gauge
<br /> ® pressure, hydrant butt coefficient, and location of test in relation to the hydraulic point of service. Previous projects
<br /> varied from maximum security installation to mass public densities, where CCTV, CATV, Voice Evacuation/Intercom
<br /> • along with Fire Alarm Panels were designed and installed per National & Local Codes. SGM provided full service
<br /> design and construction administration. SGM also has previous project experience associated with the "Anti-
<br /> Terrorist Force Protection Act"which we have successfully applied to new and existing buildings.
<br /> • MEP Design for Hurricane Regions
<br /> • When Hurricane Andrew arrived in 1992, it destroyed over 80,000 buildings resulting in property damage exceeding
<br /> ® $30 billion. SGM understands that the City of Sunny Isles Beach is in a "Hurricane Region" and is aware of the
<br /> potential hazards. SGM performs a cost benefit analysis that first studies the uplift pressure on rooftop equipment,
<br /> • the potential use of wind screens, and makes recommendations regarding the potential use of damping equipment
<br /> • to prevent wind load effects.
<br /> • In existing facilities often times the existing rooftop equipment does not meet today's Florida building wind load code
<br /> requirements. SGM understands that rooftop equipment is subjected to high wind loads during Florida's hurricane
<br /> • season. SGM carefully makes design recommendations to prevent equipment failure during Florida's hurricane
<br /> • season. The result of equipment failure during Florida's hurricane season not only effects mechanical equipment it
<br /> also may result in openings within the roof of the facility creating water infiltration. Detached mechanical equipment
<br /> • may also result in threats surrounding the equipment under high wind load conditions. SGM ensures that our
<br /> design will meet Florida building code wind load design requirements for all equipment specified.
