<br />operational functions with complete educational facilities including classrooms,
<br />auditorium, library, and learning centers. The RTI also includes a multi-purpose
<br />training room and a dining hall with full kitchen for three-meals-per-day service.
<br />The billets facility consists of 200 single-occupancy rooms, a common lounge,
<br />and washers and dryers on each floor. This project will adhere to Leadership in
<br />Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) guidelines and compliance.

<br />Design-Build (D-B) of Special Operations Forces (SOF) Maintenance and
<br />Storage Facility, Hurlburt Field, Florida (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
<br />IUSACE), Mobile District). Designer responsible for foundation design and
<br />drafting. PBS&J, teamed with J2 Engineering, Inc., is supporting a D-B project
<br />for the USACE, Mobile District to provide a $4 million pre-engineered metal
<br />structure that will serve as a maintenance and storage facility for SOF operating
<br />out of Hurlburt Field, located at Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) in Florida. To date,
<br />PBS&J has provided full architectural and building engineering services,
<br />including a value engineering study prior to the start of design. This work has
<br />included evaluating bridge documents, developing design and construction
<br />documents, and preparing a 50 percent submittal. Design work has incorporated
<br />site improvements (such as water detention facilities), extension of site utilities
<br />(e.g., water, sewer), and new aircraft apron/parking areas. PBS&J's work has
<br />also prompted the reassessment of existing storm water and environmental
<br />permits for Hurlburt Field, as well as consideration of potential impacts from
<br />other adjacent projects. By building on the work completed during the bid
<br />package phase, PBS&J was able to deliver the 50 percent design documents
<br />under a fast-track schedule of just two weeks from receipt of the notice to
<br />proceed (NTP)-a six-week reduction to the typical time required for a project
<br />of this complexity. PBS&J also used innovative solutions to overcome
<br />challenges during design. For example, by locating the structure behind another
<br />base building-thereby blocking the public's view of the structure from the
<br />roadway in front-metal building construction was approved, and PBS&J's
<br />designs were freed from having to reflect all base design standards (such as the
<br />use of split-face block), which helped expedite project completion.

<br />Publix Super Markets Architectural and Engineering Services Master
<br />Contract, Florida - Statewide (Publix Super Markets, Inc.). Designer
<br />responsible for structural calculations to verify existing structure for additional
<br />loads resulting from renovation work. Ms. Rubiera worked on Publix stores
<br />#0024, #0210, #0369, #0487, #0571, and #0050. This master contract with
<br />Publix Super Markets consists of architectural, mechanical, electrical, structural,
<br />and civil engineering services including design, construction documentation, and
<br />shop drawing reviews for the renovations of existing Publix stores. Project costs
<br />have ranged from $ I ,500,000 to S2,000,000 for renovations to approximately 15
<br />existing Publix stores annually. The work is especially challenging because
<br />renovation design and all construction work must be done after the stores close
<br />at night, typically after II p.m.
<br />
<br />Wall of Wind Testing Center, Miami, Florida (Florida International
<br />University). Designer responsible for structural modeling of building frame to
<br />verify existing structure. Work scope involved sound and debris barrier wall
<br />design for the Wall of Wind testing center.
<br />
<br />Miami-Dade Transit (MDT) Fare Collection, Miami, Florida (Cubic
<br />Transportation Systems, Inc.). Designer responsible for structural analysis,
<br />
<br />PBSI.
