We have the capacity to provide as many or as few services as you desire as well as environmental engineering.

Over the course of the last 52 years, Atkins has provided civil engineering I services to municipal clients throughout Florida. We have successfully delivered planning, design, and construction- related services to our municipal clients by identifying infrastructure improvement needs, collecting and evaluating data, developing work programs that are in line with client budgets, and providing oversight during implementation of these I programs to ensure our clients receive the maximum benefit for their investments. Project management 1 As the proposed team project manager, I will be the primary point of contact with the City and will be responsible for daily management of the team as well as communication with the City's project manager. My background consists of working with municipalities and leading complex projects from an owner's perspective. The municipal experience obtained under similar contracts includes the cities of Tallahassee, Miami, Miami Beach, North Miami Beach, and I Miami Springs; and towns of Medley and Bay Harbor Islands, which has given me a solid background in municipal project management and communications. For a period of two years, I also served as an extension-of-staff with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection(FDEP) Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems, where I reviewed and approved activities along five of Florida's coastal counties. In this role, I became intimately familiar with the Coastal I Construction Control Line(CCCL) rules and procedures, as well as knowledgeable in addressing sea turtle lighting issues and development along Florida's sandy beaches. Other staff extension assignments included the City of Tallahassee's Water and Sewer Division, overseeing the replacement of a 36-inch force main utilizing pipe-bursting methodology, I which is the largest pipe burst recorded in the United States. I understand the intricacies of municipal projects and how to manage the balancing act of achieving project goals while maintaining community and stakeholder involvement and communications. I Most recently, we assisted the City of Miami in developing a stormwater work program that required coordination with local regulatory agencies which provided the ability to establish professional relationships and specific knowledge that will benefit any projects issued under the subject contract. 1/ I
