<br />Philosophy
<br />EDAW's concern is with every aspect of environmental
<br />management. We see planning and policy-making,
<br />environmental analysis, physical design and implementation
<br />as a continuum of related professional activities. Through the
<br />application of professional skills, EDAW strives to improve the
<br />quality of the relationship between people and their environment
<br />throughout the world.

<br />Our firm is interested in significant work, not measured by size,
<br />but by relevance to a project's impact on its investors, community
<br />and setting. As practiced by EDAW, planning and design are
<br />action-oriented processes that identify problems and create
<br />and evaluate alternate solutions to meet the client's goals. Each
<br />project is approached with this philosophy Through rigorous
<br />management and flexible decision-making processes, results are
<br />maximized within given time and cost constraints.

<br />David Plummer & Associates - Traffic Engineering I
<br />Parking Garage Consulting
<br />
<br />David Plummer & Associates, (DPA) was incorporated in 1978
<br />for the specific purpose of providing transportation-oriented
<br />services to public sector clients throughout South Florida. Since
<br />that time, the firm has experienced a steady, yet controlled,
<br />growth opening offices in Fort Myers, Palm Beach County and
<br />Ft. Lauderdale to serve their clients in Florida better. Initially,
<br />their services emphasized transportation planning and traffic
<br />engineering design. They now offer complete transportation
<br />services from each office location, including transportation
<br />planning, traffic engineering, highway design, minor structural
<br />engineering, signalization design, construction engineering
<br />inspection, as well as, environmental assessments.
<br />
<br />DPA has conducted transportation planning, traffic operations
<br />and traffic safety studies for various government jurisdictions
<br />in South Florida. These services include signal warrant studies
<br />and analysis, capacity analysis, and cost benefit analysis. Their
<br />roadway design efforts range from minor intersection design to
<br />signal design to highway design to major interchange design.
<br />Members of their firm have also been involved in numerous state
<br />and local committees concerned with the development of Level
<br />of Service Standards and Concurrency Implementation.
<br />
<br />With dozens of Comprehensive Plan Amendments and traffic
<br />circulation elements completed, DPA brings special insight to,
<br />as well as, thorough knowledge of, traffic analysis, planning,
<br />concurrency, and the zoning issues involved in these projects.
<br />
<br />Because of the firm's business approach to engineering, its
<br />principals are experienced in the complex relations among
<br />financial, technical, and "people" aspects of a successful
<br />project. The balance between engineering and business enables
<br />them to work with their clients from the earliest stages as part of
<br />the team of architects, planners, attorneys, and finance officers
<br />helping to shape and direct projects from the earliest planning
<br />stages through the approval process and into implementation.
<br />
<br />Their public clients have included the Florida Department
<br />of Transportation, Miami-Dade County, Palm Beach County,
<br />Broward County, Collier County, Lee County, St. Lucie County,
<br />Charlotte County and Monroe County, as well as a variety of
<br />municipalities including: Coral Gables, Palm Beach Gardens,
<br />Delray Beach, Sanibellsland, Miami, Homestead, Fort
<br />Lauderdale, Boca Raton and Fort Myers. Providing services
<br />to these clients has enabled their firm to establish excellent
<br />working relationships with the various local, regional, and state
<br />government agencies. Since the inception of the firm, DPA
<br />has worked extensively with Spillis Candela DMJM on a variety
<br />of public and private sector projects and enjoys an excellent
<br />working relationship with our firm.
