) Permitting Critical to the success of the project is to develop a thorough understanding of the current permitting environment and process. Required permits for the improvements requested will include, but are not necessarily limited to the following: . Miami-Dade County Permit, Environment, and Regulatory Affairs (PERA) for impacts to stormwater and any existing vegetation that may require a mitigation plan in order to receive permitting through this agency. Because the project is less than 40 acres in size, no permitting through South Florida Water Management District is anticipated. . Utilities connections for water and electric will be required through North Miami Beach Public Services and Florida Power & Light. . Plans will need to be reviewed by the City of Sunny Isles of Beach internal departments. . Unlike typical projects in Miami Dade County, the parks will also need to be reviewed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Florida Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Army Corps of Engineers for coastal impacts. Our team has permitted four projects through these agencies in the last five years and is currently working on two coastal projects requiring this level of permitting, making our relationships at these agencies current. These particular agencies are the critical path item of most significance. Depending on the nature of the work, permitting through these agencies can take from 3-9 months. 100% Design Documents At the 100% Design Document stage, all comments by regulatory agencies will have been addressed, all permits will be obtained, and the City will have a full set of executable construction documents and specifications.
