The Firm's Experience with Municipal Projects Venetian Causeway Toll Plaza and Administration Building, Miami, FL. We inspected the present facility and prepared estimates for refurbishment, and also 3 alternatives for replacement of the current toll plaza. One of the alternatives for replacement was then selected and developed to schematic level with numerous potential aesthetic designs and landscaping schemes. Numerous meetings ensued with the Venetian Causeway Homeowner's Association and the County T ARC Committee to arrive at an acceptable design. After this was achieved, construction documents for the new toll facility and adjacent administration building, with landscaping, bike paths, and walkways were prepared. The toll plaza contains six vehicle lanes with attendant booths and complete electronic toll collection equipment. The separate Administration Building provides management headquarters for all Miami-Dade County toll facilities, communication, public decal sales, and staff support facilities. The construction cost for this project was $1.5 million. Miami International Airport Chiller Plant Expansion, Miami, FL. Berger Avart provided Structural Engineering services for the expansion of the Central Chiller Plant at Miami International Airport and prepared all documents including design, calculations, construction, drawings, specifications and cost estimates. We were retained to provide structural design and construction documents for approximately 100,000 square feet of additional space to expand the existing 6-story, 139-foot high central chiller plant to accommodate a new chilled capacity of 16,000 tons of refrigeration for the Miami International Airport. This required providing a 150% increase in capacity on a very restricted site, while maintaining an uninterrupted supply of chilled water. The structure supports extremely heavy equipment loads, piping of up to 60" in diameter, ice storage tanks, and integral cooling towers. The complex structure includes both cast-in-place and precast concrete elements. Piping and equipment in the existing structure was replaced, requiring extensive re-evaluation of the existing structure. Included in the effort was the transfer piping system carrying chilled water to and - 9-
