Firm References and Similar Work Completed <br />Project #1 <br />Name, Address, Contact, Phone, and <br />Email Address: Town of Palm Beach, <br />951 Old Okeechobee Road, Suite A, <br />West Palm Beach, FL 33401, Patricia <br />Strayer, P.E., (561) 838-5440, pstrayer@ <br />townofpalmbeach.com <br />Project Title: Town-Wide <br />Undergrounding of Utilities <br />Program, Town of Palm Beach <br />Description of Work Performed: <br />Subsequent to a state of Florida <br />mandate that FPL “storm harden” all vital <br />infrastructure and utility lines statewide, <br />resulting in the installation of taller, <br />concrete electric poles, the Town of Palm <br />Beach chose instead to convert all aerial <br />electric, communication, and cable lines <br />to an underground location. Kimley-Horn <br />serves as program manager and prime <br />consultant designing and permitting <br />the underground conversion process in <br />close coordination with FPL, AT&T, and <br />Comcast. Kimley-Horn first developed <br />a master plan to outline the schedule, <br />sequencing, phasing, management of <br />traffic impacts, project delivery methods, <br />data collection, public outreach, design <br />criteria, and projected costs. At the same <br />time, Kimley-Horn performed the detailed <br />design of Phase 1 of the program, which <br />is now complete. Kimley-Horn and the <br />Town also performed planning to address <br />Town infrastructure needs (stormwater, <br />gas, water and sewer) to determine if <br />any renovation or replacement should <br />occur while the underground utility <br />work is underway. The benefits of <br />undergrounding these utilities include <br />improved neighborhood aesthetics, <br />increased service reliability, and increased <br />levels of safety as the lines are no longer <br />exposed. The entire program, which began in 2016, is expected to take 10 years to complete. <br />Year Completed: Ongoing with an anticipated completion date of May 2026
