<br />1 <br /> <br />Project Manager's Experience <br /> <br />In addition to George Puig's qualifications listed in Section 3 <br />(Staffing), as a registered landscape architect and certified <br />CPTED professional, George has specific park project <br />management experience in Sunny Isles Beach as the Project <br />Manager for Heritage Park and other similar waterfront <br />park projects throughout South Florida such as One Miami <br />Riverwalk, Miami Circle, and Indian Creek Greenway. This <br />experience has given George the understanding that public <br />parks contain a great potential to raise the quality of life <br />of urban citizens and enhance social sustainability as they <br />offer opportunities for equal participation as well as lasting <br />economic, social, cultural and environmental benefits. <br />George is skilled at identifying elements of planning, <br />design, management and operations of park elements <br />that foster a socially sustainable appropriation of public <br />parks. George is a strong believer that the contemporary <br />solution to the problem of an urban park is to create a <br />field of separate, (but sometimes inter-connected) follies, <br />instrumentations, pavilions, prescribed sequences, and <br />expositional arenas to capture and command the attention <br />of the populace for the purpose of recreation, or respite <br />from the city. <br /> <br />Recent examples of George's experience as the project <br />manager of park projects that include site improvements <br />valued at a minimum construction cost of $1 ,000,000 <br />include: <br /> <br />. City of Sunny Isles Beach Heritage Park ($5 Million) <br /> <br />. City of Sunny Isles Beach - Pelican Park & Community <br />Center ($8 Million) <br /> <br />. Related Group - One Miami Riverwalk Extension ($1.7 <br />Million) <br /> <br />. Related Group - Brickell Park ($1.1 Million) <br />. City of Miami Beach - Indian Creek Greenway ($9.2 Million) <br /> <br />. City of Plantation - Plantation Preserve ($1.5 Million) <br /> <br />. Miami Dade County Parks & Recreation Department~ <br />Tropical Park Cultural Arts Center ($5 Million) <br /> <br />.
