Since 2007, the Town of Cutler <br /> ® Bay has utilized the expertise of Kimley-Horn as our stormwater consultant. Kimley- <br /> ® Horn has worked closely with the Town on the following stormwater planning work: <br /> 0 • Kimley-Horn developed a stormwater master plan to address flood protection <br /> ® activities for its residents and to protect the environmental quality of its canals. <br /> ® • Kimley-Horn also developed a stormwater management report to assist the <br /> ® Town in creating a stormwater utility, a capital improvements plan, and an <br /> operation and maintenance program associated with the stormwater system. <br /> ® • Kimley-Horn assisted the Town in joining the National Flood Insurance <br /> ® Program, giving the community access to federally-funded flood insurance. <br /> ® Kimley-Horn also submitted applications and a program approach for an <br /> ® anticipated Community Rating System rating of 6. Although the total planning <br /> cost was $230,000, Kimley-Horn assisted the Town in obtaining a $200,000 <br /> ® grant through the South Florida Water Management District which significantly <br /> ® offset the Town's costs. <br /> ® Kimley-Horn has also assisted the Town in implementing the capital improvement <br /> ® plan with roadway and drainage improvement projects that included funding <br /> ® assistance, design, permitting, bidding assistance, and construction phase services. <br /> The successfully completed projects include: <br /> ® • Cutler Ridge Elementary School Area Roadway and Drainage <br /> ® Improvement Project — Completed October 2009.
