Awareness of Project Issues Atlantic Isles is a beautiful residential community located within the City of Sunny Isles Beach. This community is an island which has one direct access to Collins Avenue. There in an existing two lane road within the community that varies in width between 18 and 20 feet and becomes a one way pair surrounding an interior lake on the island. There are a number of beautiful historic bridges. The existing speed limit is 20 miles per hour. Currently, the existing drainage is composed of swales and a small french drain system at the western end of the island. The residences are on septic tank. There is no street lighting and the existing pavement is in poor condition. 1116 "WAY DRAINAGE DESIGN (Naldo Gonzalez, P.E., Task Manager). The design of drainage, paving, lighting and sewer improvements has many common key issues that affect the project schedule, cost, and constructability and should be resolved in a proactive manner and time frame. Although there are numerous project issues, the following are some of the key issues that should be considered and resolved accordingly. Drainage: The existing drainage system is composed of grass swales except for a small section of roadway at one west end that has french drains. From our field review we noticed water ponding in this section. Marlin Engineering will design a closed drainage system for the community composed of valley gutter inlets, french drain and deep wells. The existing water table elevation is about 3 ft., therefore a standard french drain system will not work. Sewer: Marlin Engineering has designed numerous sewer distribution system surrounding Atlantic Isles for much of the on -going development. We are familiar with the area and the requirements of Miami -Dade Water and Sewer. We will work closely with the City and the Water and Sewer Department to obtain an approved design within a short time frame. Marlin Engineering has designed numerous lift stations for Miami - Dade Water and Sewer and therefore knows exactly what will be required to get an approved design. We have worked with the Parks Department to connect parks with existing septic tanks to sewer lines, this work also required the design of lift stations. Guido van Meek, P.E. is our task manager for the sewer design work. He has over 35 years of experience in this area being that he used to head the Water Works Department which later became Miami -Dade Water and Sewer. £NI W" 11401114Th = 1) MARLIWJ- AF
