Water and Wastewater Planning and Engineering 2.3 REQUIRED SERVICES QUALIFICATIONS OVERVIEW URS has extensive, demonstrated Florida experience with the design of small to major bridge and pier structures - both over local canals as well as in and over major coastal waterways. Our experiences include the design of more traditional pile and pier-supported bridges, as well as the more complex and challenging moveable bascule bridge structures. Inherent in the design of such structures is the demonstrated understanding and ability to coordinate and communicate with project design team consultants and their subconsultants in order to produce complete and accurate/buildable designs in a timely manner. Also inherent is the civil, structural, geotechnical, MEP, life safety, fire, landscaping design and oversight of surveying services and our proven ability to read, understand, and approve concrete design mixes for structure in beach, island, and canal environments.. URS experience and expertise in this regard has resulted in the successful design and construction of some of the most notable bridge projects in Florida including the Award winning SE 17th Street Causeway Bridge in Fort Lauderdale and the SR 704 Royale Park Replacement Bridge in downtown West Palm Beach. URS was also responsible for the design and CEI services for the new high level Thomas B. Manual Bridge over the St. Lucie Canal on the Florida's Turnpike in St. Lucie County, Florida. The Thomas B. Manual project included both a new high level pile supported bridge and demolition and replacement of the bridge deck on the pre- existing bridge. In addition, URS' Construction Engineering Inspection (CEI) Division has provided construction management and CEI services for some of the most difficult and challenging projects to construct in the South Florida region. Within the last 11 years, URS CEI staff have successfully completed the construction of such major bridge structures as the SR 804 Ocean Avenue bridge in Boynton Beach, FL; the SR 704 Royale Park replacement bridge in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida and most recently in 2010, the SR A1A Bridge of Lion Replacement Bridge in downtown St. Augustine, Florida. All of these projects required the demolition of the existing bridge structure and the re-routing of traffic flows in highly populated areas. To facilitate construction of the SR 704 Royale Park and SR A 1 A Bridge of Lions projects, it was necessary to construct a pile supported temporary bridges adjacent to the existing bridge to reroute traffic over the Intracoastal Waterway prior to the commencement of demolition of the old bridge structures. 2 3 I ;-; ~ -- - - c ~ ':: URS
