professional will publicly post prior notice of such meeting(s) in the lobby of the m`
Procurement Services Division Building and on the County's Procurement Services

the meeting at least three (3) working days prior to the meeting. At the initial
organization meeting, the selection committee members will receive instructions, the o
submitted proposals, and establish the next selection committee meeting date and
time. After the first meeting, the Procurement professional will publically announce o
all subsequent committee meeting dates and times. The subsequent meeting dates
and times will be posted with at least one (1) day advanced notice.
6. Selection committee members will independently review and score each proposal

proposals. ti

clarification of proposer information, public comments, and/or additional credit
information.

The CONSULTANT shall follow a systems engineering process to ensure that all
required project components are included in the development of the Construction
Contract Documents and the project can be built as designed and to specifications.
The Scope of Services establishes which items of work in the FDOT Plans

pertinent manuals are specifically prescribed to accomplish the work included in this
contract, and also indicate which items of work will be the responsibility of the
CONSULTANT and/or the COUNTY.

responsible for all work performed and work products developed under this Scope
of Services. The COUNTY may provide job -specific information and/or functions as

Dear Ms. Colon and Members of the Evaluation Committee:
American Consulting Engineers of Florida, LLC d/b/a American Consulting Professionals, LLC (American), is pleased to submit
our proposal for the replacement design and related services for the Gator Canal Bridge (Bridge #030160) in Collier County. We under-
stand that this bridge has exceeded its life expectancy and needs to be replaced in the near term.
American is uniquely qualifi ed to offer these services based on our extensive experience with Collier County. We are currently providing
inspection and repair/rehabilitation services under the County’s Timber Bridge Monitoring project, which is near the Gator Canal Bridge.
In preparing for this proposal, American conducted a fi eld review to observe and inspect the characteristics of the existing bridge. Photo-
graphs documenting our visits are included in Tab II (Work Plan).
American’s philosophy/approach for this project is described in detail in Tab II (Work Plan) of our proposal. On page 1 of Tab II (Work Plan)
we have provided a typical section for the proposed bridge and the American design team will ensure that our designs meet FDOT’s Plans
Preparation Manual and/or Florida Greenbook requirements, based on the County’s goals for the project.
Our proposed Project Manager and Principal, Scott Korpi, PE, SE, has 27 years of experience and has worked with the County on over
30 bridges, including the Golden Gate Boulevard, SW 13th Street, and Bluebill Avenue Bridges. He is currently providing project oversight
for the County’s Timber Bridge Monitoring near this bridge. His work with the County provides him with a strong insight into your proce-
dures, which in turn will allow him to ensure this project is delivered successfully. As a Managing Principal of the fi rm, he will also ensure
that all necessary resources required to meet the project’s needs are made available. Richard Hunter, PE, will lead our structural design.
Mr. Hunter has 24 years of experience providing replacement designs throughout Florida. He is currently providing technical reviews and
QA/QC services for the County’s Timber Bridge Monitoring project and leading the rehabilitation design of the Bluebill Avenue Bridge.
Through this experience, he is ideally suited to lead the bridge replacement design for this project.

Project Understanding
This project involves providing replacement design for the Gator Canal bridge (No. 030160) with timber substructure located at CR 846/
Immokalee Road in Collier County that is suffering from timber pile decay and is scour critical. American understands that the bridge is to
be replaced or rehabilitated and roadway approaches will be resurfaced or reconstructed. The project will include structural, roadway, and
drainage design; environmental/permitting; signing and pavement markings, extensive maintenance of traffi c, surveying, and geotechni-
cal services. American’s experience has involved preparing design and construction-related services for bridge replacements for various
municipalities and/or counties throughout Florida, including Michael Kosiniski timber bridge replacement project in Charlotte County and the
monitoring of 12 bridges with timber substructures for Collier County within the last 24 months.
Project Approach
Structures
The CR 846 (Immokalee Road) over Gator Canal Bridge (#030160) was originally
constructed in 1955 and widened in 1977. This bridge uses a cast-in-place (CIP) fl at
slab superstructure in a seven-span confi guration for this bridge with a total length of
approximately 120 feet. The substructure consists of concrete bent caps supported
by interior timber piles with pile jackets and exterior concrete piles on the widened
section. The existing bridge typical section provides two 12-foot lanes with 10-foot
shoulders on the outside providing a clear width of 44 feet between the curbs with an
out-to-out bridge width of 46 feet 3 inches. A deck slab thickness of only 9¾ inches
is used to support these 15-foot spans, while the diameter of the interior timber piles
range from 11 to 14 inches with 14- to 15-inch pile jackets and the concrete piles
are 12 inches.
This bridge has undergone several inspections. After the last routine inspection on April 22, 2015, the bridge was given a suffi ciency rating of
90.7 and a health index of 93.59. However, problems with the timber piles on several bridges within Collier County, including this one, prompted
additional inspections of the foundations. Over the last few years American conducted two fi eld visits to this bridge to inspect the timber piles.
It is apparent from these inspections that the timber piles are decaying at an exponential rate, which is clearly the primary need for this project.
The proposed bridge typical section is similar to the existing typical section with
a 10-foot shoulder and a 12-foot lane in both directions, which is compliant with
FDOT’s Plans Preparation Manual. In addition, the new 36-inch single-slope traffi c
railing will be used on the outside of the bridges as shown in the proposed typical
section below. This railing has recently been released for use on FDOT projects
starting on June 30, 2016, and is required to be used on all FDOT projects after
July 1, 2018; therefore, by using this railing the County is ensuring these bridges
will comply with the latest standards.
There are several superstructure alternatives that can be used for the proposed
bridge. One option is to replace the existing CIP concrete slab bridges with another
CIP slab. The proposed CIP slab would use a longer span length of 30 feet allowing
the number of intermediate bents to be reduced from seven for the existing 15-foot

spans to three intermediate bents. The depth of this superstructure alternative will
be slightly deeper than the existing 9¾-inch thick slab so little adjustment in the
roadway profi le will be needed while still maintaining the vertical clearance.
Another similar superstructure option is precast, prestressed concrete slab units
(PSUs) with a CIP topping similar to what is detailed in the FDOT Developmental
Design Standards. PSUs can easily reach a span length of 40 feet which would
further reduce the number of intermediate bents required to only two. Another
advantage of PSUs is that they are generally thinner than CIP slabs for similar
span lengths. This minimizes the change in superstructure depth between the
longer spans on the proposed bridge and the existing CIP slab bridge, which in
turn reduces and/or eliminates the need to change the roadway profi le. PSUs also
shorten the construction duration because they are prefabricated off-site and can
be installed more quickly than constructing CIP slabs.
Inverted-T beams as detailed in FDOT’s Developmental Design Standards 20310 and 20320 should be considered. This superstructure alter-
native is slightly deeper than either the CIP or PSU slab bridge superstructures so it will result in a more signifi cant impact on the roadway
profi le. Inverted-T beams can accommodate slightly longer spans than PSUs so it may be possible to reduce the number of intermediate bents
slightly for this superstructure alternative.
The fi nal superstructure alternative that should be considered is the prestressed, concrete I-beam such as the Florida-I 45 beam (FIB 45).
These types of structures can easily clear span the 120-foot bridge length for this crossing. The obvious benefi t is that all intermediate bents
are eliminated, which reduces possible future maintenance as well as improves the hydraulic fl ow of Gator Canal. The major drawback is
the FIB 45 beam superstructure is about 55 inches deep when the CIP deck and haunch is included, which is a signifi cant increase from the
9¾-inch thickness of the existing slab so the vertical roadway profi le will need to increase by about 46 inches, which requires more roadway
approach work and temporary sheet piling.
The substructure for this proposed bridge will be concrete caps supported on either 18- or 24-inch precast, prestressed concrete piles.
Another substructure alternative that is becoming more popular is the Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil-Integrated (GRS) Bridge System. The
GRS substructure does not use piles, but is composed of precast segmental blocks that are supported with geogrid soil reinforcement similar
to mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls so they are easier and quicker to construct and typically less expensive. This type of substructure
works well for end bents so they are particularly benefi cial for single span bridges. However, they are more susceptible to scour, making riprap
protection more vital than usual.
Roadway/Maintenance of Traffi c (MOT)
We have visited and inspected this bridge and have verifi ed the as-built plans allow-
ing us to become familiar with the geometrics of the existing bridge. This knowledge
is important for the development of a practical and economical MOT plan that will
function properly and provide a safe zone for all traveling stakeholders.
Two feasible construction phasing alternatives are presented on the following
pages. These two, and all others, will be fully vetted in the bridge development
report (BDR). Phasing of the existing bridge removal and the proposed bridge con-
struction is expected to be the most feasible MOT plan based on our awareness of
the existing site and bridge conditions along with the average daily traffi c (ADT) of
5,777 for this bridge. The large number of vehicles that use this bridge every day
makes it important to provide at least 24 feet of clear width at all times, which can
accommodate the two 12-foot or 11-foot lanes with 1-foot shoulders. This results in
an 8-foot shift in the centerline of the bridges and the approach roadways, as shown on page 4, which will require a reverse curve to tie back
into the existing roadway alignment. Other lane and shoulder width alternatives will be considered based on the traffi c profi le and needs. The
permanent shift in the centerline is directly affected by the lane and shoulder confi guration. This shift could be reduced or eliminated while
still maintaining two lanes of traffi c by reducing the temporary lanes from the ideal 12-foot width. By using a 10-foot width for these temporary
lanes, as shown on page 5, completely eliminates both the shift in the centerline.

October 10, 2016
If the County chooses to eliminate the centerline shift and the accompanying reverse curves in
the roadway approaches, which are required to maintain a 12-foot lane width without building
excess bridge width, alternating one-way traffi c with temporary signals will be required during
construction. The MOT option will look similar to the one on page 4 except that there would be
one 12-foot lane with 4-foot shoulders instead of the two 12-foot lanes. This single lane option
requires temporary traffi c signals to regulate traffi c during construction. Temporary lighting will
also be needed for safety to ensure visibility for motorists after dark.
It is possible to maintain two lanes of traffi c at all times while still not reducing the standard
12-foot width or permanently shifting the centerline of the bridge, but this will require an 8-foot
overbuild of the proposed bridge to handle traffi c in Phase II (the total clear width of the pro-
posed bridge will be 52 feet or about 20% greater than the 44-foot clear width needed).
In the graphic shown on page 5, Phase I Removal is shown on the left/north side while Phase II Removal occurs on the right/south side. The
construction order was set to accommodate the condition of the individual piles. In particular, pile fi ve at intermediate bent three is in worse
shape than the other piles with a split pile jacket and signifi cant cracking in the concrete. Based on this, the north half of the bridge will be
removed fi rst in order to minimize the reliance on this pile as soon as possible.
Other MOT options include detouring traffi c to other nearby roads or using temporary bridges, such as ACROW bridges. Detouring to nearby
roads allows for quicker construction than phasing and is cheaper than using temporary bridges. However, it is inconvenient to the public,
especially considering bridge construction is expected to take several months. Use of ACROW bridges to divert traffi c allows for a full two
lanes to be open at all times during construction and does not impact local traffi c patterns in the same way that detouring will. However, tem-
porary structures increase the construction footprint, which results in increased environmental impacts and possibly need to purchase either
temporary construction easements or additional right-of-way. Temporary bridge construction is also more costly in comparison to the other
MOT options and will be diffi cult on CR 846 (Immokalee Road) due to the swampy areas near the bridge approaches.
All of these MOT options will be further considered in the bridge development report (BDR) and the recommended option will be coordinated
with Collier County to ensure the optimum solution is selected.
Drainage/Hydraulics
The project is located within the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD)
jurisdiction and within WBID 32591 Camp Keais Strand Basin—a verifi ed impaired
water body. The project area is not designated as being an Outstanding Florida
Water (OFW). The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insur-
ance Rate Map (FIRM) identifi es the project area within Flood Zone D (fl ood eleva-
tion undetermined).
There is an existing environmental resource permit (ERP) for bridge scour protec-
tion (Permit No. 11-03630-P). It is anticipated that this project will require a new
general permit for minor bridge alteration, placement, replacement, removal, main-
tenance, and operation with SFWMD. This project may also require a dredge and
fi ll permit with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) if the 0.5 acre threshold is exceeded. Discussion with Pakorn Sutitarnnontr at
SFWMD (Ft. Myers Offi ce) indicates the project will meet the general permit criteria since this will be a bridge replacement that satisfi es the
0.5 acre threshold criteria. Permitting with the U.S. Coast Guard is not anticipated.
A bridge hydraulics analysis will be performed, per FDOT methodology, to evaluate the hydraulic performance of the proposed design and
a bridge hydraulics report (BHR) will be provided for documentation. Scour (local pier scour, contraction scour, and channel degradation) is
of particular concern. Scour evaluation will be performed to establish depth estimates and appropriate counter measures designed for the
proposed improvements.
Proper erosion control measures will be provided in the plans and permit conditions will require turbidity monitoring to ensure construction
activities do not exceed water quality standards.

Utilities
There are four utilities owners that fall within the project limits: Century Link, Florida Power and Light, Lee County Electric Cooperative, and
Comcast. Century Link owns a fi ber optic line along the north side of the bridge. The fi ber line is inside a steel conduit attached to the side of
the bridge that will require relocation. Florida Power and Light owns overhead transmission lines along the north side of the bridge. Construc-
tion equipment required for the bridge replacement may encroach into the OSHA clearance requirements for the transmission lines during
construction activities. We will coordinate with Florida Power and Light early during the design to determine the clearance requirements and
possible solutions. Lee County Electric Cooperative owns overhead distribution facilities along the south side of the bridge. Comcast owns
buried fi ber optic lines along the south side of the bridge and overhead communication lines on Lee County Electric Cooperatives power poles.
We will coordinate with the utility owners to identify and resolve confl icts early during the design.
Signing and Pavement Markings
All necessary bridge signage object markers will be updated accordingly. All pavement markings across the bridges and within the bridge
replacement limits of construction will be designed to meet the current FDOT and MUTCD standards.
Environmental
The Gator Canal Bridge is located within SFWMD-owned land—the Corkscrew
Regional Ecosystem Watershed. The bridge is surrounded by palustrine wetlands,
which are associated with tributaries to Lake Trafford that is part of the Corkscrew
Swamp. Unavoidable wetland impacts may occur as a result of this project. Poten-
tial mitigation options include the Panther Island (Expansion), Big Cypress, and
Corkscrew Regional mitigation banks. The bridge is not located within an OFW.
However, the bridge is located within the core foraging area of several wood stork
nesting colonies. The project is located within the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
(USFWS) consultation area for the Florida panther, Florida bonneted bat, crested
caracara, Florida scrub jay, and snail kite. There have been numerous panther
sightings around the bridge, one as close as approximately 75 feet in 2003. Even
though natural roosts for the bonneted bat are rare in Florida, roosts have been
identifi ed within Big Cypress National Preserve to the south. Habitat for the crested
caracara exists within the project area. There are numerous open fi elds with cab-
bage palms, which is the preferred nesting tree for this species. It is unlikely that
scrub jays inhabit this area due to lack of suitable habitat. Large freshwater marshes and open land to support the snail kite are all present
within the project area. The project is also within Florida black bear primary range. There have been numerous black bear sightings around
the project area. The closest sighting was 0.2 miles from the bridge in 2009. While there are no bald eagle nests within 660 feet of the bridge,
there are nearby nests in similar habitat; therefore, surveys may be needed for bald eagle nests. Since this is a bridge replacement project
within a similar footprint and no additional capacity improvements are proposed, minimal to no impacts are anticipated to wildlife. Coordination
and/or consultation will be conducted with USFWS, National Marine Fisheries (NMFS), USACE, SFWMD, and FWC.
Surveying
To ensure surveying and mapping work is completed in a timely fashion, American has joined forces with Agnoli Barber & Brundage, Inc.
(ABB). ABB is located in southwest Florida and has worked on several projects within this area including CR 951 (Collier Boulevard), CR 864
(Rattlesnake-Hammock Road), and CR 268 (County Barn Road).
For the Gator Canal project we will begin by establishing a project survey team. This team will consist of a surveyor, survey technician, and
fi eld crew and will initially hold a meeting to discuss the project’s goals and fi eld procedures. Field work will be checked and analyzed by the
survey technician and results will be drafted for the surveyor’s review. After review by the surveyor, the results will be reviewed with our team’s
survey crew chief. The fi nal results will then be delivered to the appropriate parties. Throughout this process, the surveyor will be in contact
with Scott Korpi, PE, SE, and Richard Hunter, PE, to discuss the project and its progress.
At the beginning of the project, our team will establish the horizontal and vertical control points. Our team will begin with establishing the
horizontal control, which will be a traverse around and/or through the project area. This traverse will be completed manually. After the fi eld
notes have been reduced and the traverse verifi ed for accuracy, we will establish our vertical control on the prescribed Datum. This will be
accomplished with a conventional survey levelling bench run. We will begin the bench run at a published Benchmark, such as an National
Geodetic Survey (NGS) and/or SFWMD published benchmarks. This will be through the project’s traverse points and other benchmarks will
be set throughout the project.

Lastly, we will assign state plane coordinates to the traverse points. These coordinates will be established with survey grade GPS/Glonass
receivers, with multiple occupations and observations on the Traverse points. This will facilitate the rotation and translation of the survey
control points to the state plane coordinate system. Benchmark elevations will not be set with the GPS/Glonass receivers, unless requested.
GPS is a valuable technology, but its limits preclude it from being an appropriate Benchmark source for this project. As stated above, knowing
when to use a technology and when not to, is as valuable as the technology itself.
With the horizontal and vertical control set for the project, the fi eld work can begin. We will start with the location of the road’s right(s)-of-way,
in the area. This information will facilitate the future creation of the right-of-way survey, control survey map, and the right-of-way map. These
tasks can proceed in the offi ce, without interfering with the offi ce and fi eld work of the design/topographic survey.
The design/topographic survey for each bridge site will be at the engineers’ direction. Our surveyors will begin with the as-built of the bridge, its
approaches, and departures. Since these bridges are scheduled to be replaced, the level of detail for the bridges will be based on engineering
needs to optimally replace the bridges. This task will include cross-sections of the canal in the area of the bridge, soundings, and topography
in the general area. This data will be delivered to the engineers in AutoCad format for their review.
Geotechnical
Tierra, Inc., will complete geotechnical design services to support the design and construction/rehabilitation of the CR 846/Immokalee Road
Bridge over Gator Canal in Collier County. Tierra has completed geotechnical design and construction services on numerous projects through-
out Collier County including SR 29 from SR 82 to the Hendry County Line and sections of I-75 in the Naples/Golden Gate area.
Based on information provided by Collier County, the intent of this project is to replace an obsolete bridge on CR 846/Immokalee Road (Bridge
#030160). The existing bridge foundations are a combination of concrete and timber piles generally of unknown depth.
Our geotechnical study will begin with a review of all available subsurface test data. Sources include the USDA County Soil Survey, USGS
Maps, and other information that is provided by the FDOT and Collier County. After the review of the existing geotechnical data as outlined
in the FDOT’s Soils and Foundations Handbook and the project scope of services, a recommended testing and fi eld exploration program will
be developed.
Subsurface conditions in Collier County often include the presence of a shallow, hard limestone layer colloquially referred to as “caprock.” A
review of the USDA Soil Survey at this bridge location notes the presence of Riviera, Limestone Substratum soils (Map Unit 43). This soil type
typically has a caprock layer starting at a depth of 4.5 feet below the natural ground surface. Preforming through this caprock layer, if present,
will likely be necessary to ensure the minimum required penetration of deep foundations is achieved while protecting the pile from damage.
Detailed Time Line for Completion of the Project
American recognizes that the substructure supporting this existing bridge is deteriorating and is prepared to accelerate the design phase so
that construction can begin on the proposed bridge as soon as possible. American’s partnership with a local surveyor in ABB and our famil-
iarity with the project location and condition ensure that we will hit the ground running upon notice to proceed with the design. American’s
structural staff consists of 12 structural engineers and designers that are well-versed in the design of the proposed bridge types. We have
the manpower and availability to produce accurate work at an accelerated schedule. American plans to be in close communication with the
County to streamline the process and will modify our design schedule as needed.

Collier County: Golden Gate Replacement Design-Build, Col-
lier County, Florida. Golden Gate Boulevard is a rural two-lane
roadway that crosses over Golden Gate Canal and Miller Canal.
The bridges were designed in accordance with AASHTO LRFD
using HL-93 loading and load rated using AASHTO LRFR. The
typical section for both bridges included a 4-foot 8-inch section on
the north side of the bridge, which supports a 36-inch raw water
main. The raised sidewalk on the north side of the bridge is 6 feet
8 inches wide and the sidewalk on the south side of the bridge is
6 feet wide. The clear width between the sidewalk accommodates
two 4-foot bicycle lanes and two 11-foot travel lanes. The total width
of the superstructure is 51 feet 8 inches. The bridge over Golden
Gate Main Canal was a three-span structure (50 feet 10 inches/50
feet 6 inches/50 feet 10 inches) with a total bridge width of 152 feet
2 inches. The superstructure consisted of 36-inch Florida I-Beams
and the substructure consisted of 18-inch precast prestressed con-
crete piles. The bridge over Miller Canal was a three-span structure
(33 feet 8 inches each) with a total bridge length of 101 feet. The
superstructure consisted of an 18-inch cast-in-place fl at slab and
the substructure of an 18-inch PPC piles.

Collier County: Bluebill Avenue over Naples Park Canal
Bridge Rehabilitation, Collier County, Florida. American is pro-
viding inspection and repair/rehabilitation design services for Col-
lier County. The bridge is suffering from severe concrete spalls and
cracks in the piles as well as other components such as the deck,
bridge railing, and bents. In addition, the slope protection was show-
ing signs of cracking and settlement as well as erosion. The rail-
ing anchor hardware and the steel bearing plates and anchor bolts
were also corroding. However, the bridge is functionally and struc-
turally suffi cient, but needs repairs to extend its useful life. Ameri-
can is preparing a detailed bridge repair report that investigated the
problems and determined the causes and needed repairs. A cost
estimate was prepare to allow the County to prioritize the repair
work. Plans were then prepared and a general permit with South
Florida Water Management District was acquired for these repairs
which included the installation of pile jackets, the epoxy injection of
cracks, the repair of concrete spalls, pressure grouting of the slope
protection, the reconstruction of the concrete curb and gutter at the
bridge ends to prevent future maintenance issues. American will
continue to assist the County during construction with post design
services to ensure that the repairs are completed correctly.

cal systems, steel girder bascule spans, pile bents, tender house,
and approach roadways as well as load ratings of the existing
bridge. The rehabilitation program included completely replacing
the electrical system, upgrading the mechanical system, widening
the superstructure, replacing the steel grid decking, placing pile
jackets on the intermediate bents with cathodic protection, and
demolishing and constructing a new tenderhouse.
charlotte county: Harborview road at desoto canal Bridge
replacement, charlotte county, Florida. Principal-in-Charge.
Design of the replacement structure over Desoto Canal. This proj-
ect involves the replacement of the Harborview Road over Desoto
Canal bridge in Charlotte County, Florida. In addition to structural
design, the project also includes permitting, right-of-way surveys,

charlotte county: cape Haze drive Bridge over amberjack
Waterway, charlotte county, Florida. Project Manager and Lead
Engineer. This is a 20-foot 6-inch precast concrete arch replace-
ment bridge design. Vertical clearance was increased by 1 foot
resulting in 400 feet of approach roadway reconstruction. Water
and sewer lines were relocated and directional drilled under the
waterway. After design was complete, the project was selected for
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) funds
and converted to an FDOT District One project.
city of north Port: Pedestrian/Equestrian/Bicyclist Bridge
at myakkahatchee creek Environmental Park, north Port,
Florida. Principal-in-Charge. American is currently designing a
bridge over the Myakkahatchee Creek to allow access for pedes-
trians, bicyclists, and equestrians to the Myakkahatchee Creek
Environmental Park from the south. A prestressed slab with a
cast-in-place topping was used for this span that is approxi-
mately 60 feet long. Special design and geometric criteria were
to be considered due to the use of this trail by horse; because
of this, the design uses FHWA’s Equestrian Design Guidebook
for Trails, Trailheads and Campgrounds. The foundations utilize
Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) abutments to support the
precast slab superstructure. The use of this innovative construc-
tion method helps to significantly reduce bridge construction cost
and duration and ease the substructure construction since amount
of heavy equipment is reduced when compared to pile bents.
city of Port St. Lucie: crosstown Parkway Extension Segment
1, Port St. Lucie, Florida. Lead Structural Engineer. This bridge
spans over extremely sensitive environmental lands in an ease-
ment through a national park. American designed this high pro-
file and controversial 4,034-foot bridge over the North Fork of the
St. Lucie River, National Park, and Aquatic Preserve. The bridge
design consists of 39 spans of 54-inch Florida-I beam. Due to rela-
tively poor soil conditions, the span length was limited. The project
also required permitting for an environmentally sensitive preserve.
American’s permitting efforts allowed construction using top down
methods and temporary trestle. Prior to letting for design-build pro-
curement, American prepared a full design and 60 percent plans
for the structure, architectural, and aesthetic features—all permits
along with mitigation design for the construction alternative with
the most severe impacts. This mitigation plan paved the way for
permitting approval with the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Environmental Protection Agency, South Florida Water
Management District, and numerous other contributing authorities
including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services and Florida Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission. Additionally, three branches
of the North Fork of the St. Lucie River were crossed requiring
approximately 30 feet of vertical clearance and 75.5 feet of hori-
zontal clearance. Ultimately, the project we converted to a design-
build project where Mr. Korpi worked as Owners’ Representative
to ensure proper bridge design and construction.

way, and stormwater management improvements needed to meet
future traffi c demand and evaluate environmental effects of the
improvement alternatives. It is expected that the existing four-lane
highway will be expanded to six lanes with addition of bicycle lanes
and sidewalks. In addition, bridge widening/replacement alterna-
tives will be evaluated on US 41 at Bullfrog Creek and at the Alafi a
River and include a shared use path. The South Coast Greenway
is planned to run parallel to US 41 in several places. This proj-
ect was screened through the FDOT’s Effi cient Transportation

services for Charlotte County to assist the Public Works Division
in emergency design and construction of repairs to infrastructure
after Hurricane Charley.
charlotte county: ingraham Boulevard Bridge over Presidents
Waterway, charlotte county, Florida. Senior Structural Engineer.
This project involved the emergency inspection and evaluation of
the Ingraham Boulevard Bridge over Presidents Waterway that
was struck by a vessel resulting in the complete fracture of one
precast, prestressed concrete pile. The structure has five 24-foot
spans, consisting of precast, prestressed, concrete box beams
supported on pile bents with 2 feet 6-inch square pile caps. The
pile bents consist of seven 14-inch precast, prestressed concrete
piles with the outside pile battered. Several alternatives for the
rehabilitation of the bridge were developed and presented to the
County with a recommended solution. Rehabilitation plans were
then prepared that included the driving of steel H piles on either
side of the fractured concrete pile with a rolled steel beam placed
across the two piles under the existing concrete cap. The cap was
then jacked upward from this frame to relieve the dead load on
the first undamaged concrete pile that was imposed when the pile
was fractured. American also provided oversight of the contractor
to ensure construction was in compliance with the plans.
city of north Port: Pedestrian/Equestrian/Bicyclist Bridge
at myakkahatchee creek Environmental Park, north Port,
Florida. Lead Structural Engineer. American designed a bridge
over the Myakkahatchee Creek to allow access for pedestri-
ans, bicyclists and equestrians to the Myakkahatchee Creek
Environmental Park from the south. A prestressed slab with a cast-
in-place topping was used for this span that is approximately 60
feet long. Special design and geometric criteria were considered
due to the use of this trail by horse; because of this, the design
uses FHWA’s Equestrian Design Guidebook for Trails, Trailheads
and Campgrounds. The foundations use Geosynthetic Reinforced
Soil (GRS) abutments to support the precast slab superstructure.
The use of this innovative construction method helped to signifi-
cantly reduce bridge construction cost and duration and ease the
substructure construction since amount of heavy equipment is
reduced when compared to pile bents.
city of Port St. Lucie: Pedestrian Bridges along SE Veteran’s
memorial Parkway, Saint Lucie county, Florida. Structural
Engineer-of-Record. Two timber pedestrian bridges were replaced
to improve pedestrian safety and reduce maintenance costs.
Steel truss superstructures with pile end bents were used for both
bridges to meet the aesthetic requirements of the nearby commu-
nity. In addition to the structural plans, American was responsible
for the sidewalk approaches, drainage design, maintenance of
traffic, and erosion control plans.
Sarasota county: Siesta Key Bridge replacements, Siesta
Key, Florida. Senior Structural Engineer. This project involved
the design review of five 26-foot-long replacement bridges. The
bridges consisted of a precast concrete three-sided frame with
short approach slabs and a decorative bridge railing. The project
also included public hearings to present ideas and concepts for
the bridge replacement.
Fdot district one: i-75 from Sr 951 to north of Golden Gate
Parkway, collier county, Florida. Structural Engineer-of-Record.
This project involves improvements on I-75 from SR 951 to north
of Golden Gate Parkway. This includes inside widening of the I-75
bridges over the Golden Gate Canal from four to six lanes. The
bridges are located on a curved section of I-75 with skews that
ranged from 40 to 47 degrees. The five spans on each of these
bridges varied in length from 43 feet 6.5 inches to 48 feet 1-inch,
which allows Florida-I 36 beams to be used on the northbound
bridge, but truncated Florida-I beams will be used to avoid reduc-
ing the vertical clearance on the southbound bridge due to the
superelevation. Battered 24-inch piles will be used to avoid con-
flicts with the existing piles while providing support the widened
bent substructures. In addition to the bridges, almost 400,000 feet
of sound barriers will be installed.
Fdot district Seven: i-75 from the Pasco/Hernando county
Line to South of Sr 50 design-Build (5147075), Hernando
county, Florida. Structural Engineer-of-Record. This 5.4-mile
project widens the existing four-lane divided rural interstate to a
six-lane rural interstate with 12-foot shoulders (10-foot paved) and
included the extension of eight box culverts, including a 15-foot by
12-foot Cattle Crossing. Other miscellaneous structures on this
project included DMS sign truss, CCTV poles, and a conveyor
system that allowed the fill to be carried over I-75 travel lanes from
the shoulder to the median creating a safer maintenance of traffic
scheme for both the contractor and the traveling public.

distance of approximately 1.2 miles. American designed the two
adjoining sections from Spring Hill Drive to Augustine and from
Elgin to SR 50. The typical section and scope of services is the
same as the adjacent sections that were previously constructed
with the major difference being the increase in the amount of traf-
fic and the effects it may have on the maintenance of traffic plan.
Signalization plans involved loop replacements at Elgin Boulevard
and the addition of emergency signals for the new fire station. The
signing for the emergency signal at the fire station is identical to
what we developed for Spring Hill Drive.

charlotte county: carmalita corridor improvements, from
cooper Street to Education Street, charlotte county, Florida.
Right-of-Way Mapper. Mr. McGee was responsible for preparing
legal descriptions for the right-of-way takings along the project
corridor. The goal of this project was to improve traffic flow around
a middle school, high school, and school bus transportation facil-
ity and relieve flooding along a 1 mile corridor. Carmalita Street
and Education Street were reconstructed and widened from two
to three lanes. American evaluated and designed improvements
for roadway widening, intersection improvements, improved light-
ing, signalization, an 8-foot sidewalk addition, and creation of a
regional drainage pond to relieve flooding issues. This project also
included delineating wetlands and conducting wildlife surveys.
Extensive coordination was required with the Charlotte County
School District due to the proximity of schools (elementary,
middle, and high school), countywide school bus transportation
facility, and warehouses. Certain construction phases were tied
to the school schedule to minimize impacts to school operations.
This was a joint effort with Southwest Florida Water Management
District (SWFWMD)/Charlotte County/School Board, and City of
Punta Gorda. Deliverables included roadway, lighting, and signal
plans. A permit was obtained from SWFWMD.

the contractor during construction in regards to any survey layout,
right-of-way, or survey control questions for Mariner Boulevard
from Augustine Road to Elgin Boulevard, a distance of approxi-
mately 1.2 miles. American designed the two adjoining sections
from Spring Hill Drive to Augustine and from Elgin to SR 50. The
typical section and scope of services is the same as the adjacent
sections that were previously constructed with the major differ-
ence being the increase in the amount of traffic and the effects it
may have on the maintenance of traffic plan. Signalization plans
involved loop replacements at Elgin Boulevard and the addition
of emergency signals for the new fire station. The signing for the
emergency signal at the fire station is identical to what we devel-
oped for Spring Hill Drive.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Collier County: Timber Bridge Monitoring, Collier County,
Florida. Engineering Intern. Mr. Murray assisted with inspecting
timber piles for 12 bridges in Collier County. This involved fi eld
work (measuring the pile diameters and inspecting the piles for
damage), analysis (investigating the structural adequacy of the
piles), and report preparation.
FDOT District One: I-75 from SR 951 to North of Golden Gate
Parkway, Collier County, Florida. Engineering Intern. Mr. Murray
is responsible for design calculations for both of the bridges as part
of this project, which includes the design of roadway and bridge/
structural improvements on I-75 from SR 951 to north of Golden
Gate Parkway in Collier County. The typical section includes wid-
ening and resurfacing existing mainline I-75 to three-travel lanes
in each direction, widening to the median, 12-foot shoulders (10-
foot paved) inside and outside. Highway lighting is being updated
at the SR 951 and Golden Gate Parkway interchanges. All water
management facilities are being provided in the median. Noise
walls are also being provided.
FDOT District One: I-75 at US 301 Interchange, Manatee
County, Florida. Engineering Intern. Mr. Murray is responsible for
the initial set of design calculations for this bridge along with eleva-
tion calculations. As a subconsultant, American is responsible for
design of widening both I-75 over Salt Marsh northbound bridge,
which is 1,560 feet long and the southbound bridge, which is 1,140
feet long. Both bridges utilize Florida-I beam superstructures with
24-inch pile bents to span over this environmentally sensitive
waterway. In addition, American is performing the peer review
of the I-75 bridges over the Manatee River as well as the traffi c
control plans for the project. This project consists of widening a
six-lane interstate to eight lanes and major modifi cations to the
interchange. The project length is 4 miles. The interchange modi-
fi cations involve reconstruction of the partial cloverleaf to a dia-
mond interchange. This requires two new 4,000-foot-long struc-
tures for two legs of the diamond interchange to span the Manatee
River. Two additional 1,000-foot-long structures over Salt Marsh
will also be widened. All stormwater is being treated within the
existing right-of-way.
FDOT District Seven: I-75/SR 93A NB On-Ramp from EB/WB
I-4 to Bypass Canal, Hillsborough County, Florida. Structural
Designer. American serves as a subconsultant providing struc-
tural services. This project requires the reconstruction of the I-4
ramps to I-75 NB to improve both the operational and safety of
this vital connection. In order to accomplish this, four bridges were
designed along with both permanent MSE retaining walls and tem-
porary sheet pile walls. The bridges consist of single spans that
ranged in length from 68 feet 3 inches to 85 feet allowing a FIB 36
superstructure to be used. The substructure consists of end bents
supported on 18-inch prestressed concrete piles. In addition, the
four 11-foot by 12-foot barrel bridge culvert under I-75 was extend
and an unique utility steel pile bent was designed to provide sup-
port for both a 10-inch and a 6-inch FGT transmission gas main
during demucking work. One interesting aspect of this project was
the need for partial removal of one of the existing bridges and the
phased construction of the MSE walls to maintain traffi c to allow
the new bridge to be constructed.

City of Port St. Lucie: Crosstown Parkway Corridor Extension,
St. Lucie County, Florida. Drainage Designer. This project rep-
resents the fi nal segment in a new 10-mile parkway that was
planned, designed and constructed by the City of Port St. Lucie.
This fi nal eastern 1.5-mile segment between Math Lane and US
1 includes an elevated one-mile causeway that crosses an envi-
ronmentally sensitive state preserve. American was tasked with
obtaining a conceptual environmental resource permit (ERP) from
South Florida Water Management District and an easement from
Florida Department of Environmental Protection over state sover-
eign submerged lands and state park (aquatic preserve). The strat-
egy was to quantify the impacts for multiple corridors under consid-
eration and develop a worst case scenario for which a mitigation
plan would be developed. Federal funding is involved and EIS is
underway, therefore careful coordination with FHWA has been nec-
essary to ensure no action undertaken during this advanced per-
mitting initiative compromises the EIS process in any way, includ-
ing most importantly the selection of a preferred corridor.
