CONSULTING ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR Golden Shores Utility Undergrounding and Roadway Improvements E–5IWOP41002.18w_Sunny Isles Beach Golden Shores Undergrounding.indd Environmental Permitting In the event that any of the work will require coordination with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) for work eastward of the Coastal Construction Control Line (CCCL), or for any coastal engineering and permitting needs, our environmental engineers cover the gamut of concerns that could arise. We have successfully represented numerous institutional, national, and local clients before federal, state, and local agencies, including the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD), Miami-Dade Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (RER), the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), among others. We are experienced in preparing permit applications for these agencies, know what is required to gain approval, and excel in providing the high level of coordination that facilitates an expedited permitting process. Once permits are issued, we track the conditions associated with each permit to ensure that the project remains in compliance through construction and final completion. Construction Administration and Observation Services Kimley-Horn’s professional staff has extensive experience in construction administration and will keep project contractors on task, on time, and within budget. Our experience will result in the delivery of quality projects that will make both the City and Kimley-Horn proud. Our client support includes value engineering, bid phase services, establishing financial controls to track contractor and project consultant progress, progress report development, community outreach and education, public involvement meetings, document control, and review of shop drawings and product submittals. Other services include answering questions from the contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers; observing progress in the field; schedule development and tracking; administering the testing process; performing equipment and process startup; reviewing change order requests and payment applications; and making recommendations to the client. Most importantly, we serve as an extension of your staff to help you complete your most challenging assignments. We work very hard to make sure your interests are kept first and foremost while performing our observations in the field. Because our engineers and subconsultant partners are already familiar with this type of work, we can quickly determine whether the contractor is straying outside of the requirements of the plans and specifications. This allows us to make quick corrections before the project heads down the wrong path and has contributed to our many past successes. Kimley-Horn can provide you with an on-site project field representative to observe contractor operations throughout the construction process. This is particularly important for components that will be buried or otherwise hidden from view at the conclusion of the project. Undergrounding of utilities such as electric, telephone, and cable must be inspected prior to installation and comprehensively photographed for future reference. All of these activities will be documented in daily reports with photographs prepared and cataloged by the field representative. These reports are then posted to a private FTP site that can be viewed by authorized users at any time. Any outstanding deviations will be brought to the contractor’s and your attention as they are discovered so they can be resolved quickly. Specialty Subconsultants In addition to the Kimley-Horn in-house staff, we have complemented our team with a number of local specialty firms from a variety of disciplines to serve the City on this project. These subconsultants are shown on our project organization chart in this section, which graphically describes how our overall team is organized. A description of each of our subconsultant’s specific role on the project follows below.
