SGM Engineering, Inc. City of Sunny Isles Beach RFP No. 12-04-02 Continuing Professional Architectural & Engineering Services Firms Only (CCNA) Section 2 - Qualifications  Design renovation for existing building using construction phasing plans with no interruptions to build ing‟s occupants.  Designed Central Energy Plants incorporating the use of reclaimed water as make -up water for existing Cooling Towers without any bearing to the efficiency of the tower or the water cooled chillers.  Designed dedicated heat recovery chillers to recover 100% of the heat of the condenser for reuse reducing the corresponding conditioning energy consumption, reduce air and the atmosphere generated by environment, greenhouse gas emissions. Heat recover chillers also were designed to provide drama tic savings, while meeting an increased cooling load, improving comfort, and enhancing environmental friendliness. (LEED)  Designed several thermal energy storage systems in parallel of life cycle analysis and coordinating with the owner and local power companies for utility cash rebates (LEED)  Created energy models to identify and analyze peak shaving (LEED)  Designed primary and secondary chilled water pumping and condenser water pumping systems using variable speed drives (most recently the design of (10) 1500 ton centrifugal water cooled chillers for the Orange County Convention Center)  Designed high efficient water cooled chillers with capabilities of running as low as 25% and lowest possible KW/Ton of cooling (LEED)  Designed the most efficient multi-speed cooling towers with lowest possible water blow-down.  Designed stub-outs for future connections including new valve boxes.  Provided a design for emergency generators to support portions of central utility plants (in some cases allowing the owner to sell power back to the grid).  Designed Energy Management Systems that comply with 40% energy performance over ASHRAE 90.1 – 2007 Baseline and Energy policy act of 2005. SGM designed EMS systems to monitor and control the central utility plant including the actual monthly energy usage, chilled water tonnage and KW/per ton. SGM designs web based BacNet system with live graphics.  Created utility master plans identifying the existing, future buildings, building classification and potential future energy usage ensuring adequate space is allocated for future equipment. SGM understands the importance of hearing the needs of the City of Sunny Isles Beach while remaining within the contractual boundaries set by the contract. It is critical in retrofit design projects to address potential up front out-of- scope items that could impact the project scope of work. Project Schedule SGM recognizes the importance of completing engineering designs and providing design documents that are of the highest quality possible and meet all of the generally accepted engineering standards. The quality control and quality assurance reviews are completed by a senior level individual who has not been involved with the project design. This allows a new individual unfamiliar with the project the opportunity to review the plans without having prior knowledge of the project. Using this approach, SGM has consistently provided effective quality control for its projects. In cases where the qualified quality control review individual is not e mployed at SGM, SGM has contracted with independent outside consultants to provide the quality control and quality assurance reviews. Retaining these outside review services without hesitation illustrates SGM‟s commitment to implementing effective quality control. SGM is structured with many qualified and experienced project managers that complete their projects on -time & within budget. Each project manager has engineers, designers and cad tech staff who are assigned to a specific project. A Project Managers‟ Meeting is held on a weekly basis to discuss project schedules. All the projects are identified on a spread sheet which clearly outlines the PM, Engineer, Designer and CAD Tech. The spread sheet also identifies the deadlines and client‟s name.
