Re: Cover Letter and Executive Summary for Architectural Design Services for a New Facility at 18080
Collins Avenue RFP No. 15-04-01
Dear Chris:
Thank you for the opportunity to submit our qualifications for Architectural Design Services at 18080
Collins Avenue; we are thrilled to have the ability to continue working with the City of Sunny Isles
Beach at the Government Center having completed the design of the existing complex more than 10
years ago.
It is extremely important to clarify that the architectural firm responsible for the existing Government
Center was Spillis Candela & Partners where at that time, I was the Principal in Charge and Project
Designer, Jackie Candela the Project Architect and Carlos Vilato the Senior Designer. Jackie, Carlos
and I very proud to have joined Perkins + Will almost two years ago and bring our collective exper-
tise and great working relationship once again to the City of Sunny Isles Beach. Additionally, we
have teamed with many of the same consultants involved with the original Government Center design
including Savino Miller for Landscape Architecture and Igor Gonzalez and his firm for Mechanical
Engineering.
Perkins + Will / Miami currently totals 48 professionals across Architecture, Interior Design, Urban
Planning and Landscape Architecture and has the depth of expertise in Civic Facilities, Kindergarten
through Twelfth Grade Educational Facilities, Corporate Office, Retail and Fitness / Wellness Projects
and Structured Garages and is committed to delivering this project on time and on budget.
Our current workload anticipates a start for this project in the summer of 2015 and the design team
will begin immediately after client notice to proceed. Perkins + Will is committed to a collaborative and
inclusive process where all of the stakeholders participate in the refinement of the mixed-use build-
ing program and subsequent design process. Additionally as you know from our working relationship
on Government Center, we are receptive and responsive to the Mayor, City Commissioners and City
Manager’s direction knowing that interaction results in an even better product for all.
Chris: the mixed-use program for the new building is exactly the kind of hybrid building type in which
we excel; a collection of uses that result in a dynamic and exciting Architectural statement important
to the City of Sunny Isles Beach that is at the same time highly functional and respecting of budget
and schedule.
Regards,
Lawrence Kline
Principal, Managing Director

PROJECT APPROACH +
UNDERSTANDING
10 City of Sunny Isles Beach New Facility Qualifications for Architectural Design Services
SUNNY ISLES BEACH GOVERNMENT CENTER – APPROACH METHODOLOGY
The success of a project is largely determined by its process. The process
sets the tone and foundation for addressing the needs of the users, finding
economical and creative solutions based on those needs, and designing an
educational environment that promotes the client’s educational goals and ideals.
Perkins+Will provides a well-rounded team of professionals to serve the
Stakeholders of this project. Perkins+Will provides a forward thinking approach
to educational ideas, over 80 years of experience and a commitment to a
collaborative process. This collaborative process is that much more important
when working with a multi-use building having multiple stakeholders and
requiring significant public process such as with the City of Sunny Isles Beach.
Our entire management approach is focused on fulfilling the client’s and
stakeholders objectives and program within the budget and on schedule. Before
the concept is discussed, our team engages in a thorough planning effort to
establish a common set of goals and objectives for all phases of the project. This
planning of the process is done with the client and is customized to meet the
needs of the particular project.
Perkins+Will has built a team of architects, engineers and consultants each with
the established skill set and specific experience required to successfully integrate
the needs and ideals into the project.
Team building is a vital component in the process. It serves to unify and motivate
all of the individuals and entities toward common goals. An interactive process
that includes key members and stakeholders helps us to create a plan that
reflects the priorities and culture of your vision.
perkinswill.com 11
+ HALLMARKS OF OUR APPROACH—COMMUNICATION
Communication is at the core of our design philosophy. Our ability to listen enables us to hear even the
most subtle differences clients have in terms of needs, desires, and budgets. These factors, combined
with the responding to the unique qualities of each project and site, have resulted in the marked
variety of our facility design solutions.
We promote an interactive process with the participation of stakeholders. Perkins+Will believes that
successful projects are only possible with good communication among all project team members.
Communication with the Owner
Good communication includes good listening. We will listen to your goals, aspirations, expectations
and needs. We want to understand what you need to be successful. We also will convey the knowledge
we possess from previous experience and challenge your thinking. The goal is to not just meet current
needs, but to position you for the future.
Communication with the Stakeholders
Positive interaction and thorough communication with the Stakeholders is vital for a smooth
process. We are experienced at presenting the right information in the correct manner to promote
understanding and support. This would include specifically for this project, the City of Sunny Isles
Beach, the School Board of Miami-Dade County and other potential tenants and end-users for the
project.
Communication with Consultants
The importance of consultant coordination cannot be overstressed. Our process is designed to
minimize, if not eliminate, change orders during the construction phase as a lack of coordination
between systems in the construction documents.
In addition, only well-informed team members can make project-appropriate decisions. The timely
distribution of information and the identification of the appropriate format and forum for information
contribute to good communications.
12 City of Sunny Isles Beach New Facility Qualifications for Architectural Design Services
+ HALLMARKS OF OUR APPROACH—SCHEDULE
Establishment of a schedule requires the cooperative involvement of the
design professional and the client. Because we recognize that each facility
belongs to the client and the building users, our programming and design
process places the client at the center of the design team. The client’s
need for a desired occupancy date is weighed against budgetary limitations,
potential risks, and the client’s decision-making process, and a schedule that
best meets the client’s needs is set.
Our scheduling process consists of two components: schedule establishment
and schedule control.
Schedule Establishment
At the commencement of the project a master bar-line schedule—a work
plan—is established by the architect and the stakeholders. This schedule
establishes milestone dates for the entire project, from programming through
building occupancy. Tasks, task schedules and task responsibilities are
indicated on the master schedule. Additionally, for each subsequent phase a
detailed work plan is developed that addresses specific tasks in greater detail
and allocates specific resources to accomplish those tasks.
Schedule Control
A variety of tools and techniques are utilized to control the established
schedule, including:
• Update of the detailed schedule within the fixed master schedule at the
commencement of each phase to reflect any changes
• Weekly project team meetings to review progress and performance,
to reallocate resources as necessary, and to communicate the client’s
objectives
• Weekly update of the project’s staffing needs
• Scheduled quality control reviews of the documents in each phase to
assure that documentation is complete and that delay will not occur due
to change orders during construction.
This management style is consistently applied throughout the entire project.
Our team’s consistent record of projects delivered on time is unrivaled in the
industry. We deliver projects when we say we will.
perkinswill.com 13
+ HALLMARKS OF OUR APPROACH—COST CONTROL
Perkins+Will’s philosophy regarding the critical component of estimating
construction costs is to work with the stakeholder, General Contractor or Cost
Estimator in establishing project budgets and probable costs based on current
and reliable market data.
At the initiation of a project, when the scope and desired level of quality have
been defined, the team establishes a cost model for the project that itemizes
expected costs for major building systems. This cost model then becomes the
benchmark against which future planning and design decisions are made. This
method allows the team, when necessary, to test a particular component of the
design to determine its compliance with the established budget.
Typically, comprehensive cost analysis (in addition to the aforementioned cost
model) based on drawings and specifications are provided at Schematic Design,
Design Development, 50% Construction Documents, and 90% Construction
Documents
Perkins+Will has extensive and successful experience with establishing and
meeting the budget for projects.
14 City of Sunny Isles Beach New Facility Qualifications for Architectural Design Services
+ HALLMARKS OF OUR APPROACH—QUALITY CONTROL
Perkins+Will has a quality control program that provides both technical assistance during project design and a
strictly enforced system of periodic review.
We believe that no matter how much we reinforce the idea of quality documentation as an ongoing design pro-
cess, we must supplement careful document production with a rigorous checking process at various phases of
a project’s design process. Quality control reviews are performed on every project; no project is released for bid
without benefit of a review. This methodology of quality control includes the integrated use of REVIT (Three-
dimensional Building Modeling) as both a design tool and as a means to avoid conflict between the architectural
and engineering systems; this greatly reduces conflicts in the field during the construction process.
Peer Review
Our quality control program is led by a registered architect with extensive experience in technical coordination of
all types of building programs. Quality control reviewers do not have involvement in the project they are review-
ing so that objectivity is maintained along with a fresh perspective.
Review Process
During design and documentation, the design quality and technical content of reports and drawings are reviewed
before release to the client or for bidding. The quality control reviews require drawings from all disciplines and
all consultants: the outline or final specifications, and the code and zoning analyses. The first review is held
when schematic design is 90-95% complete. The second review, when design development is 90-95% com-
plete, focuses on final code and zoning solutions, appropriate systems distribution, and the building envelope.
The most critical review is the third, at 90-95% completion of construction documents. In this final review,
systems coordination and constructability become a critical focus.
Comments generated during the review process are written directly on a set of documents intended solely for
this purpose. The comments are studied and evaluated by the project manager and the project technical coor-
dinator. All agreed upon comments are incorporated into the documents. Written response to quality-control
documents is mandatory before any project is released by Perkins+Will for bidding or review purposes.

PHASE 1: PROGRAMMING + PLANNING
Creating the Vision
The Programming and Planning phase is a critical element in the design process. It is here that decisions are
made that will have the greatest impact on land use, functionality, adaptability, and economy. It is an intense
phase that requires extensive communication between the architect, planning groups, and consultants. By shar-
ing planning, work-force, demographic, and educational trends our planning team explores with each client the
facility solutions available. The result is a solution that responds to the needs while providing necessary flexibil-
ity and agility.
A vital component of a successful project is the planning committee. At the beginning of the project,
Perkins+Will works with the client to assemble a planning committee comprised of key stakeholders. Together
with the design team, the planning committee will define the requirements and vision for the creation of an in-
novative and dynamic educational environment.
Once the planning committee is formed, the design team leads the members through a series of workshops de-
signed to develop a facility solution and build consensus. As a result of the workshops, a final building program
and/or master plan is created with the consensus of all key stakeholder representatives. By achieving consensus
during the planning workshops, the planning committee members can serve as project ambassadors who under-
stand the process and end result of the, and can share their knowledge with the stakeholders.
Step 1—Developing the Vision
The design team first meets with all current planning groups and consultants to gather and confirm existing
information and develop the goals and objectives—the vision—for the project.
Step 2—Process Design
With the vision in mind and with the assistance of the stakeholders we meet to design the specific process to be
used to implement the project.
Step 3—Workshops
Step 3 is actually a series of related tasks. Through participatory workshop sessions, the design team aids in
articulating facility goals as they relate to project vision. Each workshop guides discussion to achieve a common
facility program. The resulting facility program, whose value is understood and shared by all, greatly aids the
stakeholders as it moves forward in the building process.

2.PHASE 2: SCHEMATIC DESIGN
Translating Ideas into Design Concepts
Upon confirmation of the program we proceed with the Schematic Design phase, developing a series of alterna-
tive design concepts. Using a vast array of visual communication methods, our architects enable the school
stakeholders to achieve an understanding of how their ideas and requirements can be translated into a physical
structure.
Step 1—Information Collection
We meet with all agencies having jurisdiction over the project and all local utilities companies to ensure coordi-
nation and compliance with all requirements.
Step 2—Design Kick-off
A workshop is held with all current planning groups and consultants to kick-off the schematic design process.
This workshop is a brainstorming session intended to develop alternative concepts addressing the spatial, func-
tional, and operational requirements of all participants, and to evaluate each option suggested.
Step 3—Option Refinement
Based on the outcome of the workshop and additional input of the participants, options are refined and cost
estimates developed. The options are reevaluated and a preferred option confirmed.
Step 4—Schematic Design Documentation
Upon confirmation of a preferred option, final documentation is prepared. This documentation is suitable for
public meetings, government reviews, and cost estimating.
Step 5—Code Review
A preliminary building code review is prepared.
Step 6—Building Systems
In consultation with the owner, we prepare alternative studies for major building systems such as structural
frame, exterior envelope, and HVAC distribution. These studies are suitable for obtaining preliminary construc-
tion cost pricing, and life cycle and operation costs to determine the appropriate systems for the building.
Step 7—Probable Construction Cost
We will work with the General Contractor / Cost Estimators as they develop a statement of probable construction
cost.
perkinswill.com 17
PHASE 3: DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
Creating a Workable Building
Based on approval of the schematic design, Perkins+Will staff begins the Design Development phase, expanding
the approved concept developed in the Schematic Design phase into a workable building.
Step 1—Design Development Documentation
Based on the approved schematic design documents and any adjustments authorized in program or budget, we
prepare design development documents consisting of drawings and other documents to fix and describe the
size, location, and character of each element of the entire project pertaining to architectural, civil, landscape,
structural, mechanical and electrical systems, and materials.
Step 2—Concept Confirmation
A series of meetings is held during the design development phase with all current planning groups and consul-
tants to confirm that the design development documentation is in compliance with the established schematic
design direction and obtain additional information required for the greater level of detail provided by design
development documentation.
Step 3—Life Cycle and Operating Cost
We evaluate major materials and systems based on first cost and known long-term operating costs.
Step 4—Documentation for Reviews
Documentation is prepared that is suitable for public meetings, government reviews, and for the Cost
Estimating. We attend meetings as required to clarify documentation.
Step 5—Probable Construction Cost
We will work with the General Contractor / Cost Estimator to develop a statement of probable construction cost
based on area unit prices.

4.PHASE 4: DOCUMENTATION + BIDDING
Preparing the Design to be Constructed
Close attention to quality and detail characterizes Perkins+Will philosophy on the documentation and bidding
phases of a project.
Construction Documentation
Upon approval of the design development document phase, and based on the selected alternative system
studies, the design team prepares complete construction documents. The construction documents consist of
contract drawings, specifications, general conditions, instructions to bidders, and other necessary documents.
The team also assists the owner in filing the required documents for approval of municipal authorities having
jurisdiction over the project.
Bidding
After construction documents are made available to bidders, the design team responds to requests for informa-
tion and prepares and issues and addenda that may be required.
The design team will assist in the evaluation of bids. Determination of a bidder’s qualification usually proceeds
on two levels. From an objective standpoint, information can be gathered reflecting the contractor’s previous
experience, financial stability, equipment ownership, organization, etc. by requiring submission of qualification
statements (such as AIA Document A305). Equally important, is an assessment of the contractor’s workman-
ship, efficiency, responsiveness, and other more subjective attributes. We have worked with many construction
managers, general contractors, and subcontractors, and bring that experience to the table when qualifications
are reviewed.
perkinswill.com 19
5.PHASE 5: CONSTRUCTION
The Physical Realization of Your Vision
Perkins+Will is keenly aware of the critical nature of construction schedules and the potential impact on learn-
ing that results when deadlines are altered. The construction administration phase is given our full attention to
ensure that the projects are completed expeditiously and in the manner intended.
We provide administration of the construction contract including:
• Advising and consulting with the City’s administrative team
• Meeting with governing agencies
• Forwarding all owner instructions to the contractor
• Review of shop drawings, samples, and other contractor submissions
• Contract interpretation
• Issuing certificates of payment and certificates of substantial completion
• Preparing and issuing change orders
On-site observation is provided throughout this phase as merited by the progress of the construction. The on-
site Architect will prepare Field Observation Reports for distribution to the contractor/construction manager
and owner that enumerate our findings relative to the progress of construction and ensuring that the project is
constructed in accordance with the design intent and detail of the Construction Documents.

ELECTRICAL + PLUMBING + FIRE PROTECTION ENGINEERING - FIRM PROFILE
www.brplusa.comCity of Sunny Isles Beach, New Facility at 18080 Collins Ave
FIRM INTRODUCTION
Founded in 1975, Bard, Rao + Athanas Consulting Engineers
(BR+A) maintains a total staff of 275+ employees located
throughout our seven offi ces, including Coral Gables, FL (Miami).
The offi ce was re-established in 2009 and is managed by Marco
DiRenzo and has rapidly expanded to 25 engineers and designers.
BR+A began as a full-service MEP/FP engineering fi rm, providing
services to the healthcare industry. Soon afterward, our healthcare
practice evolved to include academic, research and science facilities.
BR+A provides state-of-the-art integrated and coordinated
mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fi re protection consulting
engineering, technology systems design and building
commissioning services. Our experienced staff examines
alternative solutions and provides proven and responsive
engineering design for state-of-the-art facilities. We are able
to handle large-scale and complex projects from inception to
construction completion, in their entirety. We provide computer-
based life-cycle cost analysis, sustainable building design
alternatives to assist architects in envelope development, study
alternative systems and feasibility of alternative layouts and are a
proactive participant in value engineering – early in a project.
BR+A is committed to Green Buildings and Sustainable Design. We
employ ASHRAE High-Performance Building Design Professionals
and have over 65 LEED Accredited Professionals. Our long list of
LEED projects includes LEED Platinum and Gold, as well as new
projects in pursuit of LEED Certifi cation. We also work with Green
Globes, Green Guide for Healthcare, EnergyStar, and ASHRAE BEQ.
BR+A is committed to being a leader in the use of BIM
engineering of MEP/FP systems for technical projects. Our
real-world experience has proven that buildings designed using
Revit are constructed faster, with fewer confl icts and reduced
change orders than similar “traditionally” designed projects. We
presently have several million square feet of projects under design
or in construction that are utilizing the most current versions of
Autodesk Revit MEP and AutoCAD MEP for Building Information
Modeling and 3D Design, as well as Autodesk Navisworks Manage
for collision detection and 3D Design Review.
ENGINEERING PHILOSOPHY
Bard, Rao + Athanas Consulting Engineers has a design and
management philosophy based upon the most senior experienced
staff being involved in providing engineering leadership and
excellence vis-a-vis hands-on and day-to-day engineering for
projects rather than senior management personnel concentrating
on and providing in-house business and administrative-focused
leadership. We are an engineering practice-focused fi rm fi rst and
a business-oriented fi rm second. This important emphasis has
resulted in the focus of our energies to providing proven leadership
in the design and engineering of the mechanical and electrical
disciplines for a variety of project types. All BR+A engineering
projects are staffed, designed and managed by at least one principal.
Our corporate philosophy is based upon providing the best state-of-
the-art proven engineering concepts for owners on highly technical
projects. Our practice has evolved in the past 40 years continually
seeking and providing MEP/FP engineering on the most
technically challenging architectural projects. We cannot, and will
not accept an assignment we cannot adequately service or staff.
Our fi rm thrives on repeat clients as a result of our engineering
excellence and ability to communicate and ‘partner’ with the Owner,
CM and design team.

vintage structural systems, applying our extensive knowledge of the behavior
of construction systems to arrive at smart solutions.
Service Integration
Any successful building project requires an understanding of the interaction
between structural systems, building skin, and architectural and mechanical
systems. Our integrated services in building structure, skin and performance
uniquely position us to serve our clients with this holistic perspective.
Capabilities
All of our structural designs are developed with building information models,
using custom interoperability tools that enable us to work with virtually any
design software. This interoperability and use of BIM enhances efficiency,
accelerates delivery time, reduces change orders and preserves the design
integrity as it moves across software platforms.
Project Delivery
Our project delivery strategy is customized to meet individual client needs.
For design-bid-build, design-build, integrated project delivery or a hybrid, we
understand the benefits and limitations of each approach and advise our
clients on the most suitable choice. We routinely incorporate advanced
detailing, saving time and ensuring accuracy of deliverables for the
contractor and fabricator, and erection engineering and site logistics support
to optimize the construction process.

CORE studio
Revolutionizing Design Through Technology
Any project benefits from the use of interoperable computational modelling. At
Thornton Tomasetti, we develop and implement sophisticated methods to
conceptualize, model and deliver our designs to benefit owners, designers
and construction teams. Our CORE studio provides the technology toolkit we
use to integrate the expertise of each of our practices into the delivery of all
our projects.
Innovation at our CORE
Thornton Tomasetti’s CORE studio applies expertise in architecture,
engineering, façade detailing, computer science, industrial design and
fabrication to drive the functionality of commercially available BIM tools to the
next level by developing custom tools and interoperability frameworks that
streamline design processes. Our computational design specialists focus on
the dynamic intersection of design, engineering and modelling techniques.
While computational design can improve the design and construction process
for every project type, its benefits are ideally suited to large facilities with
innovative architectural forms that are designed and built on fast-track
schedules.
BIM and Beyond
We have used building information modelling (BIM) to develop and produce
our projects for more than 20 years. We have found that the use of even basic
3D BIM tools can enhance the creative process, promote effective
collaboration and coordination, and improve visualization and communication
during design and construction. Our active adoption of these tools and our
collaborative, holistic approach make Thornton Tomasetti ideally suited for
design-build, design-assist and integrated project delivery teams. But that’s
just the beginning: we’re also at the forefront of even more advanced methods
for digital project design, delivery and fabrication.
Parametric and Generative Optimization
Parametric and generative modelling software facilitates rationalization and
control of the complex geometries involved in imaginative architecture, such
as twisting forms, diagrids, tensile roofs, and complex curved façades and
canopies. Our modelling tools allow automated testing of multiple parameter
combinations for specific aesthetic, performance and sustainability criteria.
Services
Thornton Tomasetti is an industry leader in the complex analytical simulations
and digital delivery 3D structures and facades of projects. We have delivered
models to architects, contractors, fabricators and owners. Our analytical

and 700,000 square feet of convention and meeting space. The resort will help develop
the three-mile BayWalk, which highlights a 150-acre leisure and entertainment area in
downtown Miami. Team tasks include due diligence, parking studies, underground
utility design, preparation of a Special Area Plan (SAP) traffic study consistent with City
of Miami 21 Zoning Code, environmental site assessment and potential remediation
planning, including contaminant delineation, water quality evaluation, and quarterly
groundwater monitoring.
Midtown Miami, 56-acre Urban Mixed-Use Development, City of Miami, FL
Project manager for civil construction documents, including roadway, utilities, signals,
soils management, and streetscape; also coordinated entitlements and served as the
Midtown Miami Community Development District Engineer. Responsibilities include the
review and coordination of a bond budget in excess of $100 million while simultaneously
serving four clients on this major redevelopment project. Midtown Miami is the largest
urban infill redevelopment project in Miami-Dade County and is located on a 56-acre
Brownfield site previously owned by the FEC Railroad. The project involved planning,
design, and construction of all public and private infrastructure to serve 3,500 residential
units, 800,000 square feet of commercial, and 15,000 square feet of office space. Some
of the major infrastructure components included FPL and telecommunications duct
perkinswill.com 67
banks, storm drainage wells, traffic signals and roadways, and street car system. Infrastructure also included 12,500 linear
feet of new 12-inch water distribution mains and 6,500+/- linear feet of new 8-inch to 20-inch sanitary sewer mains, which
required a 100-linear-foot bore-and-jack beneath the FEC Railroad and interconnection with existing 72-inch live interceptor
at Biscayne Boulevard. Kimley-Horn designed water and sewer service connections for future parcel developments.
The Lincoln, Miami Beach, FL — Project engineer for site civil services for paving, grading, and drainage plans and
permitting. The Lincoln is a multi-story, mixed-use facility that includes 120,000 square feet of Class A office space, 38,500
square feet of retail space, and 719 parking spaces. Kimley-Horn provided site civil services, including paving, grading, and
drainage plans; landscape architecture; construction plans; and permitting.
Miami Jewelry District: Miami Downtown Development Authority, Miami, FL — Project manager for this master
plan and streetscape project. Located in the heart of Downtown Miami, the Jewelry District is comprised primarily of wholesale
jewelry businesses with some retail component in four city blocks. For the past decade, Downtown Miami has been undergoing
an economic revitalization which includes the introduction of several high-rise mixed-use developments, as well as public
infrastructure projects, including the renovation of Flagler Street, Miami’s main street; a new downtown master plan; and
the soon-to-come light rail line, which will run through the Jewelry District. The Jewelry District master plan and streetscape
improvements are the next phase in the continuing improvement of Downtown. The current plan stems from the previously
mentioned Downtown Master Plan and a vision study done for the Jewelry District. The main purpose of this current Jewelry
District planning is to establish a clear and unique identity for the Jewelry District and to implement that identity within the
public right-of-way (ROW). Kimley-Horn developed an implementation master plan for the ROW elements within the Jewelry
District. In addition, we produced construction documents for the streetscapes based on the implementation master plan.
Hialeah Park Development of Regional Impact (DRI), Hialeah, FL — Project engineer for this redevelopment project.
Kimley-Horn is currently providing entitlement services, which include DRI, comprehensive plan amendment, rezoning, and
master planning for the redevelopment of Hialeah Park in the City of Hialeah, Florida. Hialeah Park is a 202-acre, former horse
racing facility which first opened in 1926. The redeveloped site is expected to include 3,760 residential units, retail and office
space, a town center, school, and several parks and urban plazas. For future portions of the project, Kimley-Horn will provide
civil engineering, urban design, landscape architecture, planning, and project management services.

the core of the City’s financial district, Brickell City Centre is a nine-acre mixed-use
development—and one of the largest active projects in the City of Miami today. The site
comprises approximately three city blocks. At completion, this $1.05 billion project will
include 2.9 million square feet of retail, office, residential, and entertainment space. The
parking demand for this proposed development will be satisfied by the construction
of a two-level subterranean parking garage, which will extend beneath the right of
way for full connectivity between the three blocks. This LEED Neighborhood Certified
project will also include sustainable elements such as a climate ribbon, green roofs,
and cisterns for irrigation use. As the engineer of record, Kimley-Horn is providing
an array of civil engineering, transportation planning, and traffic engineering services.
The scope of work includes design, permitting, and construction administration for
the installation of more than of 7,000 linear feet of new water and sewer utilities
within an extremely congested utility corridor; full roadway reconstruction including
drainage improvements; traffic signalization; and onsite stormwater management.
Miami World Center, Miami, FL — Serving as project engineer. Spanning more
than 20 acres, the Miami World Center includes approximately 13 million square
feet of retail, residential, office, and institutional uses. As proposed, the Center will
create a vibrant, walkable pedestrian environment with a unique sense of place: a
modern design statement driven by Miami’s unique physical context, culture, and
architectural heritage. Kimley-Horn partnered with a private developer, the City of
Miami, the Miami Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), and other stakeholders
in preparing typical sections for streetscapes for the City’s largest proposed Downtown
project. Kimley-Horn also partnered with numerous utility companies to determine
existing underground conditions. Once this information was obtained, we worked
with multiple stakeholders to develop and evaluate various streetscape options for
roads and avenues within the multi-block project limits.

Faena Miami Beach, Miami, FL — Serving as project engineer. Stretching five blocks along Collins Avenue, this ambitious
project involves the renovation and improvement of a number of existing, historic Miami Beach hotels including the Saxony
Hotel, the Versailles Hotel, the Atlantic Hotel, and the Claridge Hotel. In addition, three new buildings will be constructed.
These include the Faena Art Center, Faena House, and Faena Park. A marina is also planned. Kimley-Horn is providing a
range of services for all components of this very complex development project with the exceptions of the Faena Art Center
and the marina. Our services include due diligence; schematic design; site civil engineering pertaining to roadway design and
site planning, as well as utility coordination and design (water, sewer, drainage, electrical, communications); traffic engineering;
landscape architecture; permitting through the City of Miami Beach, Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department (WASD)
and RER (Regulatory and Economic Resources), FDOT, FDEP, and SFWMD; preparation of construction documents; and
construction phase assistance. This project is being undertaken in phases with some phases currently under construction
and others in design. Initial components are expected to open in 2015.
University of Miami Interdisciplinary Laboratory Building (AMEDIC), Miami, FL — Served as project analyst.
Kimley-Horn provided site civil design services for this 180,000-square-foot, 10-story building located on a 1.6-acre site.
This research and laboratory structure houses office space, wet laboratories, and an animal research facility. Kimley-Horn’s
design included water, sewer, and fire services to the building, on-site drainage improvements, the design of a Florida Power
& Light utility duct bank, and the design of a BellSouth telecommunication duct bank. The building’s on-site underground
stormwater retention system provides irrigation water to reduce usage of potable water. We also coordinated the permitting
of all service connections and assisted the client during the construction administration phase.
TD Bank (formerly Commerce Bank), Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties, FL — Served as
project analyst for the Kimley-Horn team that has provided a range of transportation planning, traffic engineering, environmental
design, landscape design, and site civil services for this retail bank program in Florida. The firm has investigated more than
300 South Florida locations, and designed and permitted more than 60 sites.
West Sunset Square, Kendall, FL — Served as project engineer. Kimley-Horn provided a variety of consulting services for
this 83,000-square-foot neighborhood center including site planning, civil engineering, roadway design, traffic signal design,
permitting, and construction phase services. This project required significant coordination with multiple county agencies.
Perhaps the most challenging aspect of the project was its location within the Bird Drive Everglades Wetland Basin (BDEWB).
Due to a lack of sufficient surface water storage within the BDEWB, there were restrictions on the development of the site.
Through our local experience and relationships with the Miami-Dade Department of Environmental Resources Management,
Kimley-Horn was able to implement an innovative solution to meet the development criteria, thereby allowing our client to
fully develop the site.
Sian Ocean Residences and Resort (aka Indigo or Indigo/Sian), Hollywood, FL — Served as project analyst.
Sian is a four-phase residential project that sits between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Phase 1 included
a master plan for the 9.5-acre site, reaching from oceanfront property across A1A to the Intracoastal. A pedestrian walkway
connects the entire project, allowing users to walk from a resort pool and docks along the Intracoastal, across A1A, and past
the condominium conversion to a 20-story beachfront tower. This tower includes two units per floor, five penthouses, and its
own private beachfront pool. In Phase 2, Kimley-Horn’s services included landscape architecture, civil and traffic engineering,
roadway, environmental, and structural engineering. This phase involved converting an existing hotel to a hotel/condo with a
temporary parking lot and a large resort-style pool that overlooks the Intracoastal. In addition, it included a new entry area,
fountain wall, and pedestrian crosswalk light.
Divine Savior Academy Expansion, Doral, FL — Serving as project manager. Kimley-Horn is part of the team providing
civil engineering design and permitting services for a three-story high school expansion project at Divine Savior Academy in

iconic shopping center, added a two-story 102,000-square-foot restaurant and retail space. The Kimley-Horn team provided
civil engineering for this retail development. Services include preparation of construction documents (site plan, signage, striping,
water and sewer), permitting (water, sewer, DERM), utility coordination, and construction observation.

The City of Sunny Isles Beach Government
Center is located along the western side of
Collins Avenue and across from the Atlantic
ocean; the site is toward the center of the
linear municipality, within walking distance
to many multi-family residential towers and
at the center of a rapidly changing and urban-
izing area.
The program for Government Center totals
approximately 60,000 square feet on
four floors and includes Administration,
Police, Public Library and Council Chamber
functions. The building design elevates a
three-floor curving bar of administration and
police functions over the ground floor public
spaces of library, conference, post office and
Council Chamber.
The three-level parking garage slides under-
neath the western leg of the City Hall and
integrates public-related functions at the
base. The Tony Roma’s restaurant to the
south of the City Hall functions, is designed
as a single-story volume whose roofscape is
partially screened by means of a large scale
tensile canopy as cover for outdoor dining
and to screen the view of mechanical equip-
ment from the adjacent Government Center
Government Center has a building envelope
of white architectural precast concrete ren-
dered in a “crosshatch” rib pattern and pale
green hurricane-impact glass of both punch
window and curtainwall design. The eleva-
tor and stair tower is clad in charcoal gray
granite panels while the Council Chamber is
wrapped in a mosaic glass tile of varying blue
shades.
An important civic space along the boule-
vard is created by the spiral-formed Council
Chamber floating on a dynamic fountain. An
organized pattern of palms and shade trees
defines the northern boundary of the site and
creates an outdoor “reading room” for use
by the adjacent library annex and as pre and
post function space for the Council Chamber.

A new Community Center and Aquatic
Park was designed for The Town
of Surfside, Florida that totals ap-
proximately 30,000 square feet. The
project, located on the ocean in this
midcentury modern inspired com-
munity includes wellness, Community
Spaces, Library, Art Classrooms and
Administration Spaces for the Town’s
Park and Recreation Department.
This new facility replaces a 1960’s era
building that had become functionally
obsolete both in programmatic layout
and adherence to current building
codes.
The new community center floats a
raised second and third floor over the
smaller ground floor uses to allow
views through to the ocean beyond; the
architectural palette of smooth stucco,
geometric sun-screening devices and
glass mosaic tile becomes a contem-
porary reinterpretation of the 1950’s
architectural style that is seen in both
the commercial and residential archi-
tecture of the community.

Cape Coral’s new Government Precinct
is a 20 acre site bisected by the new
Cultural Boulevard; the first Civic Build-
ing is the Cape Coral City Hall. The
project contains 91,000 square feet
and places the new linear, two-story
building running the north-south length
of the site. Disposed in front of this
Administration Building, the Council
Chamber and offices provide a strong
and mostly solid architectural mass
contrasted with the glass façade of the
adjacent administration building.
As a relatively new and expanding com-
munity in Southwest Florida, the City
was in search of a civic identity; the
City, in search of identity and brand
helped drive the design team to create
a contemporary facility that remained
rooted in the context of the community.
The site program for the New City Hall
created a landscaped, green park for
community open space, as well as for
future City development. The building
program consists of a 250-seat Council
chamber, Mayor’s office, City Clerk,
City Attorney and City Manager offices,
Community Development and a one-
stop shopping concept for all building,
zoning and permitting functions.
Transparency of the architecture is
directly linked to the transparency of
the government process and the ad-
ministration building façade expresses
the openness of that process in an

The Sunrise Corporate Center is a
360,000 square foot office building on
a 40.8 acre parcel located in Sunrise,
Florida. The office building is planned
to be 5 stories with a two story parking
garage located adjacent to the build-
ing. Additionally, a stabilized grassed
and landscaped area to the east of the
parking structure will provide for any
potential overflow parking.
The client is committed to being a pos-
itive presence in the communities they
inhabit. As part of their latest study
of workplace design and health, newly
built projects must connect employees
with their surroundings; and provide an
open, transparent and intimate connec-
tion to the surrounding neighborhood
and site..The client recognizes that this
approach to natural amenities helps to
create an inspired project, which has
the capacity to attract and retain the
best talent in the industry.
To this end, the project site has been
conceived as a bridge, or series of
layers, that transitions different types
of zoning (from residential to the south
to commercial at the north edge) and
scales (small scale residential to large
scale urban/suburban). The building is
conceived as a dialogue with the natu-
ral landscape. The design merges the
unique ecosystem of our site and cli-
mate with the ecosystem of the client.
The globally connected nature of the
work performed in the office levels
reaches out, metaphorically, and ‘pulls’
the landscape upwards from the earth..

These linkages, in turn, become site retaining walls, accessible

future edible garden; all which bring you into the main ameni-

Within the building, the concepts of biophilic and sustainable
design continue. The main level and office programs above are
linked through 4 large atrium spaces which are enclosed at the
top with a full story height of glazed roof monitors and linear
skylight elements. This allows sunlight to flood the very core of
the office environments and insures that all regularly occupied

The Cayman International School is a
private academic institution located
within the 500-acre master planned
community of Camana Bay on Grand
Cayman Island. The design concept
for the Kindergarten through Twelfth
Grade School integrates 32 Classrooms,
Art, Music and Science Labs, an
Administration building, Library and
a Multi-Purpose Hall with Athletic
Fields and Courts, while at the same
time providing distinct educational
precincts within the campus for students
throughout the varying age ranges.
Four educational and social courtyards,
each with its own Architectural and
Landscape Design identity relate
to the age groups adjacent and
define student social centers for the
population of more than 500.
The campus design reinforces the
integration of the public and private
use of the facility; the community-
related amenities of the Multi-
Purpose Hall are linked with adjacent
athletic fields, pool and the outdoor
amenities. This integration of use
and programmatic spaces reinforce
the bond between the School and
the community of Camana Bay.

HE MORNING SUN STREAMS
THROUGH THE LIBRARY
WINDOWS WHERE THE FACES
OF A DOZEN CHILDREN CONCENTRATE
ON FINDING THE INFORMATION THEY
NEED FOR A CLASS PROJECT.
They are not flipping through an encyclopaedia
or other traditional reference books. Rather, they
are accessing an online database they learned
about from the school librarian, using brand new
computers in the technology lab.
‘The library is the heart of the school, where
children can develop a life-long thirst for learning,’
says Jean M. Caskey, the new principal who started
her first term this fall. ‘It is the focal point for all
their support materials and is a fun environment
that is conducive to learning. We want kids
meeting each other and saying good morning as
well as enhancing their knowledge. The library is
also an excellent resource for teachers and parents
who can use the amenities, view school projects
and have a chance to get to know each other.’
It has been a year since Cayman International
School moved out of their old cramped location
into its spacious state-of-the-art facility at Camana
Bay. In just one year, the student body has grown
25 percent with 290 students enrolled this fall and
a waiting list for spaces in the younger year groups.
More school sports now take place on campus
with the addition of the new soccer field last
December and the trees, plants and flowers have
started to grow and fill out the courtyards which
separate the classroom buildings. The upcoming
year will see the school continuing to develop,
with the completion of a 25 metre swimming
pool, two tennis courts and two basketball courts.
Work will also begin on a multi-purpose building
that will double as a gymnasium, cafeteria and
assembly hall. When not in use by the Cayman
International School, the soccer pitch, pool and
courts will be available for reservations by members
of the community.
‘We always felt the academics were excellent at
our old school, but the new campus has given us
a facility that matches the quality of the learning
taking place in our classrooms,” says Vice Principal
Nimmi Sekhar. “The new facilities have given us
space to grow and enhance our programmes in art,
music, science and sports.’
Sandy Urquhart, Senior Vice President of Design
and a Director at Dart Realty comments, ‘The
construction and opening of a new school in
the first phase of a multi-million dollar urban
development is a rare move for a commercial
project today. It is a throwback to an earlier time
in the 18th and 19th centuries when building an
academic institution was a source of civic pride.’
Careful thought was put into the campus design
to not only enhance academics, but also give a
sense of Cayman’s unique culture and tropical
environment. The buildings are oriented to catch
the north-easterly sea breezes and the covered
walkways provide protection from rain and
sun. The classrooms have large windows to take
advantage of natural light and enable younger
students to see the upper grades, which fosters
a collegiate atmosphere and gives them insight
into what they can look forward to in years to
come. The science building has separate rooms
for younger and older students to accommodate
equipment appropriate for different age groups. A
similar design was employed for both the music
and art buildings.
The courtyards between the classroom buildings
are landscaped with plants and trees that withstand
tropical wind, sun and salt and are well-suited
for the different grades. The early development
courtyard has a giant climbing tube for young
children to crawl through. The primary courtyard
has room to play ball, run around and congregate
in groups. The high school’s courtyard has a small
amphitheatre that can be used for outdoor lectures
and encourages social interaction that appeals to
older students.
‘There is not a great deal of signage because the way
you find your way around the campus is intuitive,’
says Lawrence Kline, principal with the school’s
architects Spillis Candela. ‘The administration
building is the front door. The classrooms are
the body and everything feeds off the covered
walkways, which is the main street.’
Although the new campus has capacity for 500
students, Caskey says the school is in no rush to
reach that number as it puts a premium on small
class sizes of 15 to 17 students. This academic
year marks another milestone for the school as
it welcomes its first twelfth grade class and looks
forward to its first high school graduation next
summer.
This year will also lay the ground work for
the school’s most ambitious project yet – the
introduction of International Baccalaureate. The
International Baccalaureate is a vigorous education
programme for 11 and 12 graders that prepares
students for university. The two year programme
is widely recognised and many universities in the
US give IB students credit for the freshman year.
‘International Baccalaureate is one of the fastest
growing educational systems in North America
and the Caribbean,’ says Caskey. ‘It is also a major
ongoing commitment. Teachers have to be sent
off overseas for training, exams are couriered
to different parts of the world to be graded and
students have to spend a significant period of time
doing community service work.
‘It will be a tremendous amount of work to get
the International Baccalaureate programme going,
but the school is growing and changing and this
will take us to the next level.’

Administration and Police Buildings.
The Administration and Police building
is designed around a two-story land-
scaped and paved courtyard connect-

main McIntyre Street building entrance
with a pedestrian garage entrance to
the south. The courtyard functions both
as a public gathering space and as a

Spillis Candela also provided planning
for the 144 car parking garage, which
would carry the same architectural
elements of the buildings. The project
was master planned and designed as a
low-scale campus environment, open

Project challenges included an aggressive one month design-bid-build and
delivery schedule for construction documents. To avoid expensive
construction delays, Thornton Tomasetti redesigned the deep foundation
system along the north side of the building because of an unforeseen
existing underground utility line. The redesign saved the owner time and
money, instead of relocating the underground utility line. The project was
utilized with Revit platform to streamline and meet the requirements of a strict

Thornton Tomasetti provided structural engineering and façade consulting
services for the development of design-build bridging documents for a new
475,000-square-foot, seven-story office building for the General Services
Administration. The design of the building pushes the limits of a typical
federal building design.
The building is composed of concrete with columns that lean to define the
undulating façade. The building was designed to mitigate progressive
collapse and blast pressures, which was coordinated with site security. The
project is composed of two bars that are 70 feet wide each and are
connected by a multilevel atrium, creating an interior courtyard. The width of
the bars allow for an open floor plan, permitting daylighting to flood into the
building. The project was designed for LEED Gold.
The façade of the building is unique due to its integrated, custom-designed
sunscreen panels, which are incorporated into a unitized window system.
The windows are composed of fritted glass with radio frequency shielding.
Thonton Tomasetti designed an above ground, 500-car parking garage and
service bay area. The additional annex component houses bays for
government fleet vehicles.

Thornton Tomasetti provided structural design services for a 160,000-
square-foot academic building located on Florida Polytechnic University’s
new 170-acre campus. The Innovation, Science and Technology (IST)
Building provides spaces for interdisciplinary classrooms, laboratories,
offices, meeting rooms and a large amphitheater. The two-story teaching
facility features a prominent glass and steel cupola with an operable louver
system, and a continuous pergola defined by 84 arched aluminum “leaves”
that shade the upper level terraces and ground-level arcades around the
perimeter of the building.
The structure is supported on a shallow foundation system bearing on stone-
column reinforced soils. The concrete frames are comprised of a series of
exposed concrete articulated portal frames arranged in a radial fashion
following the oval footprint of the project. A cast-in-place concrete ring beam
supports the vaulted steel cupola and its louver system.
The initial concept for the the louvers required two 250-foot-long movable
arches to raise and lower the louvers. Working with the project team, the
engineers developed an alternative design in which individual hydraulic
pistons operate each of the 94 louvers. This allowed for a lighter, less-
expensive support structure and minimized the need for custom parts.
As one of the first buildings constructed on the site, the IST building helps
establish the design scheme for all future structures within phase one of the
campus master plan. Its distinctive profile and design is intended to attract
and inspire visitors, and to help achieve the university’s vision for developing
a new science and technology corridor in central Florida.

The Lincoln
Miami Beach, FL
The Lincoln was the first public/private initiative by the City of Miami Beach
to encourage infill development on the under-utilized city surface parking
lots in the South Beach community. It is now a multi-story mixed-use
facility that includes 120,000 square feet of Class A office space, 38,500
square feet of retail space, and 719 public parking spaces. Kimley-Horn
provided site civil services that included the successful resolution of
complex drainage and grading issues in order to work with the existing curb
conditions. The firm also provided landscape architecture, construction
plans, and permitting. Kimley-Horn’s landscape architecture services
included the temporary relocation and preservation of mature canopy trees
and the planting design for seven levels of planters that wrap the entire
garage.
Working closely with the project architect we were successful in meeting the
needs of the City, the developer, and the local community.
Midtown Miami
Miami, FL
Located in the heart of Miami, this 56-acre brownfield site
is the largest redevelopment project in the City of Miami.
Kimley-Horn worked with the architectural design team
to develop a truly urban mixed-use master plan that can
support 1.2 million square feet of commercial development;
4,500 residential units; 15,000 square feet of office space;
and parks. The design includes nearly 12,000 linear feet of
urban streetscapes, a linear park system, an urban plaza,
and a series of vest pocket parks. Kimley-Horn authored
streetscape design guidelines for the project and prepared a
Regional Activity Center (RAC) justification report to increase
DRI thresholds. We planned and designed all public and
private infrastructure including roadways, utilities, FPL and
telecommunications duct banks, and traffic signals. The
firm provided design, permitting, and construction administration
services for the installation of 12,500 linear feet of new 12-inch
water distribution mains and 6,500 linear feet of a new 8- to 20-inch
sanitary sewer main. Kimley-Horn also provided traffic, landscape
architecture, and urban planning services, and designed water
and sewer service connections for future parcel developments. In
addition, we assisted the developer in establishing the Midtown
Miami Community Development District (CDD) and served as the
district engineer.

Brickell City Centre
Miami, FL
Located at the core of the City’s financial district, Brickell City Centre is a nine-acre mixed-use development—and one of
the largest active projects in the City of Miami today. The site comprises approximately three city blocks. At completion,
this 1.05 billion dollar project will include 2.9 million square feet of retail, office, residential, and entertainment space.
The parking demand for this proposed development will be satisfied by the construction of a two-level subterranean
parking garage, which will extend beneath the right of way for full connectivity between the three blocks. This LEED®
Neighborhood Certified project will also include sustainable elements such as a climate ribbon, green roofs and cisterns
for irrigation use.
As the engineer of record, Kimley-Horn is providing an array of civil engineering, transportation planning, and traffic
engineering services. The scope of work includes design, permitting, and construction administration for the installation of
more than of 7,000 linear feet of new water and sewer utilities within an extremely congested utility corridor; full roadway
reconstruction including drainage improvements; traffic signalization; and onsite stormwater management.

Our open space design concept integrates the City Hall site and adjacent restaurant into a
cohesive urban setting. A large fountain embraces the council chambers, providing a con-
tinuous seating area for passersby and employees alike, terminating at a small courtyard
adjacent to the library. The plaza was designed to expand north as part of a future City Hall
expansion project. The interplay of the shimmering water and lights on the blue mosaic
wall creates a civic nighttime display.

The SIB Gateway Park is aptly named, situated at the City’s southern terminus, and
bounded by major streets on three sides. Conceived as a joint venture between the City
and condominium developer with property facing the parcel, the park will provide a large
green recreational space and parking garage for local use and beach parking. The park’s
design recalls the simple elegance of classic urban parks, with wide crushed gravel
pathways lined by Live Oaks, and sloped lawns for people watching and picnicking. The
central lawn begins to “roll” as it extends eastward, much like the ocean beyond. Key
elements include a large water wall and participatory fountain, citrus grove, playground,
and outdoor stage for programming events.

The 709 Alton Road Commercial Center is located in Miami Beach on Alton Road, a
major north-south artery which services a thriving retail and business district along its

vides a large rooftop garden designed to invite patients and employees to congregate,
relax and get some fresh air. The garden’s spaces and planting design are configured to
provide sun and shade throughout the day. Native plants were largely specified to cre-
ate a natural atmosphere, as well as their therapeutic, healing qualities induced by color,
fragrance and their attraction to wildlife. At the street level, a simple streetscape calls
for large, up lit Live Oaks in a continuous curbside planter, which functions to screen the
busy street from the ground floor offices and create a pedestrian-friendly place. The
east side of the building was largely screened with native, clustering Paurotis Palms to
buffer the views from neighboring residents. Our services included design, layout and
