The MIC, Florida's largest transportation <br />project and a project of national significance was estimated to cost approximately 1.4 billion dollars. <br />Mr. Mohandes reported directly to the district secretary. The MIC is being designed and built to <br />solve the pressing transportation needs in Miami-Dade County, currently ranked the third most <br />congested area in the country. It will be a transfer point providing connectivity for this community's <br />various modes of ground transportation including Miami-Dade Transit Authority, Greyhound bus <br />lines, Tri-Rail and Amtrak. Currently, such a connecting point does not exist anywhere in Miami- <br />Dade County. The MIC will also decongest ground transportation access to Miami International <br />Airport (MIA), the eighth largest airport in the U.S. and one of the fastest growing. MIC was the first <br />project to receive a loan under the federal Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act <br />(Tl FIA), part of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21 5t Century, or TEA-21. <br /> <br />The MIC Program includes the Rental Car Center (RCC), Miami Central Station (MCS), MIA Mover <br />and major roadway improvements, all to be completed by 2012. FDOT is also pursuing private <br />and/or public sector joint development projects to enhance the MIC's economic viability. Miami-Dade <br />County is developing the MIC-Airport Link Metrorail Extension bringing Metrorail service to MIA via <br />the Miami Central Station by 2012. One of the major roadway improvements includes the Le Jeune <br />Road/MIA Interchange reconstruction with 12 new and/or reconstructed bridges, reconstruction of <br />NW 14th Street from NW 34th Avenue to NW 42nd Court, MIA Tri-Rail Station relocation and <br />improvements, MIA Mover Guideway (light rail system from MIC/MIA Station to MIA Station) with 7' <br />and 12' diameter by 80' deep concrete drilled shafts, and the future M IC Core private development. <br /> <br />Mr. Mohandes was responsible for the management of this mega-project from the PD&E, right-of- <br />way acquisition, utility relocation coordination, design of bridges and roadways, and construction <br />management, engineering and inspection services. Turner Construction Company was the <br />Construction Manager contracted by the FDOT under the CM @ Risk process to construct this <br />project, which is currently ongoing. Mr. Mohandes continued as Program Manager of this project for <br />approximately 2.5 years of this phase of the project. <br /> <br />EastlWest Multimodal Corridor (EWC) (1993-1998) Mr. Mohandes served as FDOT's Program <br />Manager for the 22-mile long transit project beginning at the Tamiami Campus of Florida <br />International University (FlU), and extending the length of SR-836, pass MIA, through Downtown <br />Miami to the port, across Biscayne Bay to South Beach, and ending at the Miami Beach Convention <br />Center. EWC was the first transit project in Miami-Dade County to obtain a record of decision in <br />August of 1998. Mr. Mohandes was responsible for this Mega PD&E project all the way to the Final <br />Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) at which point the project was transferred to Miami Dade <br />County for the next phase. <br /> <br />-' <br /> <br />18625 Atlantic Blvd. Sunny Isles Beach, FL 33160 Phone 786-586-7779 Fax 305-402-2208 E-mail Kouroche@kmecinc,com <br />
