As Design Engineer, Tetra Tech coordinated all design and permitting efforts for this
major neighborhood improvement project. Tetra Tech developed the Basis of Design
documents by conducting extensive public meetings and exhaustive conferences with the
owner, the City of Miami Beach. Five hundred pages of plans were required for the
complete design to convey the scope required. Twelve permits from various Miami Dade
agencies were obtained; each requiring an agency specific set of plans. Tetra Tech also
provided construction services under a contract with the City’s Program Manager, Hazen
& Sawyer.
Project Scope included the following:
• Targeted Sidewalk Replacement and In Fill – 4,100 SY of sidewalk was constructed
including new, replacement, and in fill.
• Street-End Improvements – Existing practically unused street ends that terminate
were converted into parks and recreation areas.
• Textured Pavement Improvements – Neighborhoods are differentiated from the
FDOT roads by using crosswalks constructed with brick pavers and textured
pavement of contrasting color.
• Roadway Resurfacing: – 38,000 SY of asphalt pavement was milled and resurfaced
which is nearly 10 lane miles of roadway throughout the island. All of the existing
painted pavement markings were replaced with markings of thermoplastic material
and 100 roadside signs were removed, relocated, or replaced.
• Landscaping – 315 of the existing trees were relocated to enhance the appearance of
the right of way and 750 new trees of native specie were planted as well. 90,000 SY
of sod was installed.
• Irrigation – 15,000 LF of irrigation pipe and 10,000 sprinkler heads were constructed
to provide positive watering for the new and existing trees and the new sod.
• Water Main Replacement – 30,000 LF of 6”, 8”, and 12” water main was included as
well as the required fittings and valves.
• Rear Easement Water Service Relocation – This included replacement services and
new water meters for 480 homes throughout the island.
• Lighting Enhancements – 170 new light poles and fixtures are installed in two
neighborhoods. There are 150 “acorn” architectural poles and luminaires and 20
traditional light poles installed to enhance neighborhood ambience and safety. 30,000
LF of underground conduit and conductor were required to complete the installation.
