<br />FRAGR ENGINEERS <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />RFQ NO.1 0-04-01 <br />Professional Engineering Services <br /> <br />....,., r <br /> <br /> <br />Emergency Generator Et Emergency Command Center <br />Fraga Engineers is one of the few companies with experience in extremely large-scale emergency generators and <br />Emergency Command Centers. <br />Our firm has recently served as the DCP (Design Criteria Professional) for the $5 million Miami-Dade Fire Rescue <br />Logistics Facility. Fraga Engineers was responsible for investigating and creating the MEP portion of a Design Criteria <br />Package, and functioning as an Owner's Representative during the bidding, award, design, and construction process for <br />this 65,000 gsf Fire Rescue and Logistics facility which includes an Emergency Management Operations Center for <br />Miami-Dade County Emergency Operations, completed in 2008. <br />Fraga Engineers is also the Engineer of Record for the installation of an 1865 kW generator at the Alexander Orr Water <br />Treatment Plant in Miami, Florida. This project involves a complete upgrade of the water treatment system for Miami, and <br />when completed will have one of the largest backup generators in South Florida. <br /> <br />Design/Build Bid Process <br />Fraga Engineers has experience in Design/Build projects from both sides of the equation. Our firm has recently served as <br />the DCP (Design Criteria Professional) for the $5 million Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Logistics Facility. Fraga Engineers was <br />responsible for investigating and creating the MEP portion of a Design Criteria Package, and functioning as an Owner's <br />Representative during the bidding, award, design, and construction process for this 65,000 gsf Fire Rescue and Logistics <br />facility with an Emergency Management Operations Center, completed in 2008. <br />A Continuing Services Contract with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department also led to Fraga Engineers serving on the <br />DCP team for five new approximately 4,300 gsf Fire Rescue Stations. Each station was approximately $800,000, with our <br />firm responsible for creating the MEP portion of a Design Criteria Package, and functioning as an Owner's Representative <br />during the bidding, award, design, and construction process. All of these projects were turned in on time and in budget. <br />Fraga Engineers is also experienced as a Design/Builder. Working with Betancourt, Castellon, Associates, Fraga <br />Engineers has completed over $60 million worth of facilities for M-DCPS since 2005, including a new middle school (State <br />School SS-1) and a new high school (State School FFF), both state of the art facilities, and again, both turned in on-time <br />and in budget. <br />Having experience on both sides of the Design/Build table allows Fraga Engineers to understand the pitfalls and possible <br />problems that arise from miscommunication and unclear documents. It also allows us to understand the advantages that <br />come from such an arrangement, including faster project turnaround. Our firm knows what the critical issues are in a <br />Design Criteria and will ensure that, should the City of Sunny Isles Beach choose Design/Build as a project delivery <br />method, it is provided with an airtight Design Criteria that will allow for smooth project delivery with good quality design, in <br />budget, and no change orders. <br /> <br />Cost Estimating <br />Because of our invaluable experience as a Design/Builder, Fraga Engineers understands the current market conditions <br />and local contractor and subcontractor markets. Our project team has a wealth of the latest information on pricing for the <br />latest systems, and works hard to update this data regularly via regular conversations with subcontractors and <br />contractors, allowing us to keep an accurate picture of the market. This allows our project team to put together a <br />confident and accurate cost estimate package for all of our projects. Our firm would provide the City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />with reliable, up to date cost estimating capabilities. <br /> <br />4 <br />
