CONSULTING ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR Golden Shores Utility Undergrounding and Roadway Improvements E–4IWOP41002.18w_Sunny Isles Beach Golden Shores Undergrounding.indd Street Lights The undergrounding project will impact a significant number of street lights within the City. The impacted street lights consist of those currently mounted to overhead utility poles or are fed aerially from overhead lines. When these poles are removed, the street lights will be taken down with them. For this reason, these impacted street lights will need to be replaced. A photometric design prepared by our electrical subconsultant Waypoint Engineering and Equipment, LLC would confirm required spacing to meet the City’s needs. They will also design the street light system in collaboration with FPL’s underground design. The City has indicated that custom lighting is preferred for street light replacement, however, the City may consider installing FPL standard lighting as a cost-savings measure. FPL currently administers a street lighting program through their LT-1 Tariff in which they will provide and install street lighting. If the City decides to enter into this arrangement, Waypoint would work with FPL’s LED lighting Solutions Department to design the system and prepare the photometrics. Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Engineering Kimley-Horn has extensive experience with pipeline construction, including conventional installation and horizontal directional drilling (HDD) projects. We routinely interact with and have long-standing relationships with permitting agencies to procure permits for unique pipeline and HDD projects, including those involving subaqueous crossings under sensitive wetlands and under Waters of the State. Representative projects include crossings of the Indian River Lagoon (an Outstanding Florida Water), the Intracoastal Waterway, and ocean outfalls which require special monitoring where drilling procedures are exposed to variable conditions. Kimley-Horn has designed thousands of feet of storm, gravity sewer, force main, airline, and potable water pipelines within South Florida. We understand the local nuances on how to successfully complete these projects—especially within tight residential corridors and state and county rights-of-way. Our staff has wide-ranging knowledge of stormwater management systems of all sizes and functions, from master stormwater system hydraulic modeling for an entire urban municipality to the design of stormwater piping or swale systems serving a local neighborhood block. Additionally, we have extensive experience in gravity drainage well design and permitting through the Miami Dade RER and FDEP should improvements such as that be required. Mechanical Engineering Kimley-Horn’s mechanical engineering capability includes feasibility studies, concept generation, detailed design, as well as the application of value engineering principles. Our mechanical engineers have provided hydraulic analysis, design, permitting, and construction of pipeline facility design for both transmission and distribution systems; design of HVAC systems for equipment rooms; and design of both potable water high service pump stations and wastewater pump stations and rehabilitations of existing stations. Kimley-Horn’s mechanical expertise spans into stormwater pump stations and can assist in the design of a new station or rehabilitation of an existing station as the City deems necessary. Working in conjunction with our civil engineers, we have the ability to analyze the existing drainage basin and determine for the City whether or not the system is adequate and if improvements are needed.
