<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />C. FIRM EXPERIENCE AND BACKGROUND <br /> <br />Since its inception in September of 1976, WA has represented a unique level of commitment to its firm <br />precepts of performance and excellence. Through an unswerving dedication and a constant execution to <br />the furtherance of professional service to the public, the principals of the firm have created, developed <br />and refined the practice of a firm that stands as a leader in the South Florida community. <br /> <br />As with our previous work with park and parking garage design, we present a team that will respond to the <br />functional requirements for the project and maintain an architectural vocabulary that is consistent with the <br />surroundings, while ensuring the technical expertise to execute the implementation of the design. Having <br />significant specific related experience, WA has consistently demonstrated its ability to involve the client in <br />developing solutions that result in highly functional projects while maintaining an architectural presence <br />commensurate with the surrounding ambiance and other uses. <br /> <br />Based on a strong belief in fully integrated design, the principals of WA believe in the delivery of compre- <br />hensive Planning, Architectural and Engineering services. With a consistent mission to provide a balance <br />and integration of design creativity and engineering excellence, the firm has met the challenge of design <br />excellence on the most complex of infrastructure programs and project types. In each task faced, no mat- <br />ter what the requirements, the firm has pursued a course that maximizes the opportunity for achievement. <br />This can be seen in a wide array of award-winning designs that span the categories of infrastructure, ar- <br />chitecture and engineering design. WA has fulfilled its commitment to the whole of the built environment, <br />focused on planning, architecture and engineering as unifying elements of the total. The work of the firm <br />has continuously exhibited a successful merging of all program requirements. In an array of projects with <br />complex programs and functional requirements, the firm has repeatedly been able to present solutions <br />that enhance the built environment while satisfying functional and operational needs. <br /> <br />Availability of Staff <br />WA has recently completed and is currently completing several major projects. Our workload at the time <br />that this contract is to be awarded will allow for the timely performance of all work. We also have a great <br />team of architects and engineers as well as sufficient support personnel to meet any schedule demands. <br />WA is a large organization that offers a unique level of flexibility in being able to accommodate increases <br />in volume, requirements and skills needed. Through our office-wide team structure of 70 professionals we <br />are able to grow or shrink a team as needed. WA will be able to dedicate the necessary professional and <br />technical personnel to this project. For this contract we have assembled a full-service team which includes <br />architects, draftsmen, designers, engineers, technical staff, construction managers, inspectors, cost esti- <br />mators, landscape architects, and planners. All of our key personnel are available to work on this project. <br /> <br />Experience with the City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />WA has completed numerous local governmental projects over the past 31 years, including the develop- <br />ment of facilities for the Federal, State, and many municipal governments throughout the Southeastern <br />United States and abroad. The firm has enjoyed a successful history of community, judicial, parks, public <br />administration, detention and public safety projects, having completed design work for over sixty related <br />facilities in the United States and the Caribbean. Unfortunately the firm has not had the opportunity to <br />showcase its expertise to the City of Sunny Isles Beach, however our consultants have experience work- <br />ing for the City. WA understands the needs of public agencies to meet established budgets and sched- <br />ules, while achieving a functional, secure and well engineered facility. As the local architect and engineer, <br />WA will initiate thorough design and execution process detailed specifically to the goals, needs and re- <br />quirements of the City of Sunny Isles Beach. <br /> <br />~ Wolfberg Alvarez & Team <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />October 10, 2007 <br /> <br />Page 6 <br />
