CONSULTING ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR Golden Shores Utility Undergrounding and Roadway Improvements D–2IWOP41002.18w_Sunny Isles Beach Golden Shores Undergrounding.indd professionals and staff members who are empowered with the flexibility needed to respond quickly to both administrative requirements and scheduling needs. Much of our success is directly related to our ability to provide high quality, timely services. When Kimley-Horn creates a consultant team for a project, the client’s best interests are always the primary focus of our efforts. This means you have the assurance of knowing that all of the project tasks and activities are under the management and quality control of a dedicated local project manager, who has the corporate authority to allocate manpower resources as necessary and whenever required. This level of personal responsibility leads to better decisions, better information, cost reductions, increased productivity, and quicker, more accurate product development and delivery. Moreover, there is continuity and camaraderie among our key staff. Project Management Plan Effective project management is essential to providing positive outcomes on any project. Our approach to this project begins with project managers who understand this type of work, know the stakeholders involved, have proven experience with the successful execution of large-scale infrastructure projects, have experience with undergrounding projects, and are committed to the success and implementation of this project. With day-to-day efforts falling under the reins of project manager Joshua Horning, P.E., LEED AP (who has recent undergrounding experience in Sunny Isles, Palm Beach, Key Biscayne, and Fort Lauderdale), Kimley-Horn can plan and execute this project while maximizing efficiencies learned from past projects. Joshua has the prior experience of working on the Collins Corridor undergrounding project. This makes him uniquely qualified to manage the Golden Shores undergrounding as their designs must inherently work together. Joshua managed the Collins project from its infancy up through the first few months of construction and will be able to jump right into the Golden Shores project with very little ramp up time. His intimate knowledge of that detailed design provides an unparalleled continuity and takes a disjointed phasing process and turns it into one congruent project, setup for success. With the help of a network of internal staff and strategic teaming partners, our multidisciplinary team will provide the City with service and a wealth of knowledge unparalleled in the industry. Joshua has the ability to call on the full resources of the firm to support the City of Sunny Isles Beach, maximize resources, and meeting the project timetable. The process of undergrounding aerial facilities in the Golden Shores neighborhood is a significant infrastructure project that will present schedule, cost, and coordination challenges. Effective management is essential to delivering successful projects on schedule and within budget. The success of a project is largely dependent on having a project manager who understands the importance of proper coordination and the interdependency of various tasks. With Kevin Schanen, P.E. providing high level oversight, Kimley-Horn offers the City a seasoned principal-in-charge with a wealth of experience. Mr. Schanen possesses an abundance of electrical and telecommunications experience, having served as project manager for a number of municipal undergrounding programs and smaller neighborhood conversion projects. He has also designed sub-station sites for FPL, as well as hundreds of communications facilities for AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and others across the southeastern United States. We have drawn upon the experience of our project managers to develop a project approach that you can be confident will be successful in the implementation of your undergrounding project. Listed below is an overview of key characteristics of our approach to managing this project: 3 Think and Act as an Extension of the City Staff. Our team will approach projects as though we are part of your staff. Working within a coastal community is unique and a thorough understanding of this uniqueness and what that means is essential to successful project implementation. A consultant who understands the importance that aesthetics, traffic flow, and overall community impacts will play during all phases of the program will be vital to success. This requires a team of permanently locally-based experts who have a strong understanding of this uniqueness and a wealth of infrastructure planning, design, and construction experience. Effective project management is essential to providing positive outcomes on any project.
