) Permitting For any construction project, permits and required regulatory agency approvals from authorities having jurisdiction are required. Since the approval of permit applications can define the schedule of a project, CMA researches the needs and time frames for permits as far in advance as possible. Typical agencies that may have jurisdiction on a proposed project within the City of Sunny Isles Beach for roadway and drainage projects are listed below: . Miami-Dade County Permitting, Environment and Regulatory Affairs (PERA formerly DERM) . Miami-Dade County Public Works Department . Miami-Dade County Traffic Engineering Department . South Florida Water Management District . Florida Department of Environmental Protection . Florida Department of Transportation . US Army Corps of Engineers \ I CMA is based in Miami-Dade, Palm Beach and Broward Counties and performs most of its work within the Tri-County Area. As such, our familiarity with the regulatory agencies goes beyond the norm and has grown to a successful, first-name-basis relationship. Coordination Coordination is another aspect of the project that will start at the very beginning. Through experience, CMA has learned that a project can only be successful when open lines of communication exist between the Engineer and the City, the public, various agencies, services and other consultants. Only by working together can every stakeholder feel that their individual experience contributed to the successful completion of the project. Coordination with the City When a project commences, the Chen Moore Project Manager establishes communication with the City through regular phone and email correspondence. This practice is continued through the duration of the project in order to ensure a successful project. Our project manager's have experience leading project progress meetings, briefing elected officials, participating in construction meetings, meeting with regulatory agencies and speaking at public meetings involving citizens and residents. CMA is also available to attend City Commission meetings upon request. Construction Administration The in-house construction engineering inspectors at CMA are backed up by years of experience and the assistance of the engineers assigned to the project. The Chen Moore Team is very familiar with the entire bidding process. Recent experience involved large construction contracts going to bid as part of the Miami Beach Capital Improvement Projects and Broward County Neighborhood Improvement Projects. However, in many instances, smaller contracts were processed for various projects in municipalities throughout South Florida such as the City of Miami Gardens and the Village of Pinecrest. At many different capacities, the Chen Moore team can administer all the bid process needs of the City of Sunny Isles Beach. (ii..--..'.. ~' "'~". ...., "'b'#~' .-.,'.'!I -.
