BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AND RELEVANCE TO THIS CONTRACT (Include scope, size, and cost) <br /> <br />One of the largest single undertakings of the Florida <br />Department of Transportation, at an estimated cost of <br />$2Billion the Port of Miami Tunnel will connect the Port of <br />Miami to the MacArthur Causeway. The general objective <br />has been to develop a cost effective program to link the Port <br />of Miami with the Interstate system, thereby improving the <br />passenger and cargo movement to and from the Port, <br />alleviating the traffic congestion and pollution in the Miami <br />Central Business District (CBD), and allowing the growth of <br />the Port with positive socioeconomic impacts on the region. <br />The project is designed to divert trucks and busses carrying <br />cruise passengers directly off I-395 (MacArthur Causeway) <br />through this dedicated roadway directly into the Port. <br /> <br />PSI’s role in the preliminary design was that of sub consultant <br />to Parsons Brinkerhoff. PSI has provided geophysical <br />investigations and geotechnical exploration for the tunnel <br />from Watson Island to the Port using innovative drilling and <br />sampling procedures, including over water borings in the <br />Channel to depths greater than 150 feet below the mudline. <br /> <br />Services have included a geotechnical study to obtain data <br />regarding the general subsurface conditions near the <br />proposed alignments by means of exploratory borings, as <br />well as laboratory testing of the collected soil and rock <br />samples. The laboratory testing is conducted for <br />classification purposes and to provide pertinent engineering <br />characteristics for this study. <br /> <br />PSI’s Fees: $3,500,000 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />25.
