Kimley -Hom and the City of North Bay Village have worked together successfully for <br />several years on a variety of water, wastewater, and infrastructure improvement projects within our <br />community. Their professionals have worked within our time and budget constraints, and provided <br />quality engineering designs and creative solutions that have exceeded our expectations. <br />Most recently, Kimley -Horn developed a Force Main Route Evaluation Report (Contract amount <br />$68,500 - Completed March 2008) to determine the most beneficial and cost - effective route for our <br />new 16 -inch force main system. Additionally, they developed a Force Main Rehabilitation Design <br />Criteria Package (Contract amount $365,000 - Completed April 2010) used to select a Design Build <br />Team based on qualifications, experience, project approach, and price. Kimley -Horn obtained the <br />necessary environmental permits through the Department of Environmental Protection and the U.S. <br />Army Corp of Engineers. Mostly importantly, Kimley -Hom was instrumental in helping the City <br />obtain over $3.5 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding and State Revolving <br />Loan dollars, to help offset the total project cost of $4.5 million. The new 16 -inch force main has <br />been installed, successfully activated, and in service. <br />Their responsiveness and willingness to tackle our City's infrastructure challenges have made <br />Kimley -Horn one of our long- standing partners. <br />Sincerely, <br />City of North Bay Village <br />Sam Zamacona Jr. E.1. <br />Director of Public Works <br />Office: (305) 756 -7171 <br />E -mail: samzamacona @nbvillage.com <br />D <br />
