City Clerk Sunny Isles Beach Government Center September 4, 2018 IWOP41002.18w_Sunny Isles Beach Golden Shores Undergrounding.indd kimley-horn.com 1615 South Congress Avenue, Suite 201, Delray Beach, FL 33445 561 330 2345 C–2 LLC will be engaged to provide surveying and subsurface utility locate services and Universal Engineering Sciences, Inc. will provide geotechnical investigations. We’ve also partnered with an electrical engineering firm who we are currently working with in the Town of Palm Beach and Key Biscayne: Waypoint Engineering and Equipment, LLC. This firm is led by a former FPL distribution engineer and has worked on a multitude of underground conversion projects in coastal communities in South Florida. In addition, MBE-certified firm Media Relations Group, LLC will provide public outreach services. We will apply the same technical approach to this project that is being implemented with much success in the Town of Palm Beach and in the Village of Key Biscayne. This experience allows us the ability to develop an individual project success strategy that is tailored to the specific needs of the City and its residents. Our approach will employ successful strategies of past projects and incorporate lessons learned. We’ll leverage our relationships with key personnel at each of the utility providers to facilitate the design and installation of the work. Kimley-Horn will work with the City to define project scoping, implementation, scheduling, management, budgetary monitoring, and quality assurance. We will follow our proven project management plan that includes the agreed upon scope of services, project schedule, and critical milestones throughout the duration of the project. Our schedule will be updated on a constant basis to ensure progress is being continuously made. Our project management plan has been developed to immediately take corrective actions to keep the program on schedule. Firm Capability. There is strength in numbers. With our project team’s qualifications and experience with both neighborhood and City-wide overhead to underground conversion projects, we are well suited to plan, design, and execute the Golden Shores undergrounding project from beginning to end. One of the unique abilities of our firm is the opportunity to draw from our nationwide resources at any time to meet the needs of our clients. The City will benefit from having the best of both worlds—the strength and resources that only a national firm like Kimley-Horn can provide coupled with the local relationships and knowledge that only a local firm can possess. Kimley-Horn is very progressive when it comes to understanding its current workload and its capacity to take on additional work without impacting our availability to clients. Our proactive management process ensures the availability of firm-wide and Florida-based resources for project staffing requirements through a proprietary program maintained on our computer network called “cast-aheads.” The cast-ahead process ensures that sufficient staff and hours are available to meet project schedules. The objective is to balance the workload in a manner that maximizes the use of production staff while ensuring that all project requirements and client deadlines are met. Because of the level of effort we spend on understanding workload and on what projects staff are working on, Kimley-Horn can define on very short notice our ability to handle any task assignment and exactly who has the most availability to work on a project so it is completed on time.
