<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)
