<br />Engineering and Economic Feasibility Reports
<br />Victor Herrera is a project manager in Atkins’ Florida engineering division. He has worked as
<br />extended staff with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Beaches
<br />and Coastal Systems, the City of Tallahassee Water Resource Engineering Group, and other
<br />public and private entities. Prior to returning to Miami, Mr. Herrera served as a resident engineer
<br />with the City of Tallahassee providing oversight of an emergency rehabilitation project with
<br />construction costs valued at more than $9 million.
<br />He has specialized professional competence in parking lots, grading, earthwork, and drainage
<br />design, as well as experience in plans processing for permit approval, water and sewer design,
<br />geotechnical investigation evaluation, and interpretation of soil borings and recommendations.
<br />Mr. Herrera’s experience as a staff extension with municipalities and the state of Florida provide
<br />him with the ability to clearly understand the issues from the clients’ perspectives.
<br />Mr. Herrera’s current general responsibilities with Atkins include contract negotiations
<br />with clients and subcontractors; project team compliance with contract terms; monitoring
<br />subcontractor progress, performance, and compliance with contractual commitments; project
<br />quality assurance; identifying new business opportunities for the fi rm; project presentations
<br />to clients and other external groups; frequent contact with clients and regulatory agency
<br />personnel; and supervision of other project managers, technical professionals, and other design
<br />staff including managing weekly project workload and manpower forecasting.
<br />His representative project experience includes:
<br />Stormwater Work Program, City of Miami, Miami, FL. As project manager Mr. Herrera
<br />guided the effort of developing a stormwater work program to address more than 100
<br />existing stormwater structures that were not in compliance with local regulatory criteria.
<br />Recommendations were based on engineering feasibility, schedule, and estimates of probable
<br />construction costs as well as stormwater requirements of the structure. Elements of the work
<br />included utilization of existing data provided by the City, site visits to each structure, developing
<br />alternatives that are permittable with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection
<br />(FDEP) Underground Injection Control Program and Miami Dade County Department of
<br />Environmental Resources Management (DERM), preparing preliminary construction documents
<br />and specifi cations, and compiling a thorough report to be used as a design criteria package
<br />for a design/build request for proposal (RFP). Proposed construction costs exceed $4 million.
<br />Atkins has been asked by the City to remain as the Owner’s Engineering Representative (OER)
<br />throughout the implementation of the program.
<br />Cox Neuroscience and Health Annex, University of Miami, Miami, FL. As project
<br />manager, Mr. Herrera helps manage the civil engineering design of site layout, drainage, and
<br />utilities for a 37,700-square-foot (sf) annex, an addition to the Cox Science Building at the
<br />Coral Gables campus that will be an interactive “hub” for researchers on the interdisciplinary
<br />research theme of brain, behavior, and health in studies requiring sophisticated image analysis.
<br />The annex will be designed and built with the goal of achieving Leadership in Energy and
<br />Environmental Design (LEED) Silver Certifi cation. Mr. Herrera is responsible for the stormwater,
<br />sewer, and water component design of this project.
<br />Southern Command Headquarters, Doral, FL. As a civil engineer, Mr. Herrera contributed
<br />to the civil engineering design for this 55-acre, 630,000-sf building project for the U.S.
<br />Southern Command. The services included surveying, site layout, stormwater management,
<br />water supply, wastewater collection, permitting, and construction administration. This project
<br />includes the addition of roadway improvements to NW 33rd street (three lanes) from NW 92nd
<br />to NW 97 Avenue.
