Contract AG-4216-P-13-0069.

The project scope was to conduct an arc flash analysis, provide electrical system one-line diagrams, and provide labels for the electrical equipment at the Center for Medical, Agricultural, and Veterinary Entomology (CMAVE) facility in Gainesville. The goal of the project was to provide USDA employees with the knowledge of the specific electrical hazards that existed at various locations in the facility, and to inform workers of the personal protective equipment (PPE) required for working on live equipment. The study was limited to the 3-phase services associated with 11 individual buildings and the chiller courtyard.

The initial data collection and analysis included:

• Obtaining historical as-built drawings to locate and identify unobservable conditions such as underground conduits.

• Conducting site investigations to confirm as-built drawings and gather undocumented distribution, cable sizes, conduit types, breaker model numbers, adjustable breaker settings, and feeder lengths for

approximately 250 breakers, 110 Panelboards, switchboards, and motor control centers, 10 transformers, 2 generators, and 3 miles of feeders.

• Obtaining (from the local municipal electrical utility) information such as impedances and short circuit current.

To estimate the short circuit current available at each location, collected data was entered into a computer model of the electrical system, and a short circuit study was performed using SKM Power Tools software. Arc current values were estimated from the short circuit values, and arc durations were determined from the breaker settings.

The final report included notes and photographs of existing code or safety issues that were observed during site investigations, along with a hazard location table.

The project was completed 130 days ahead of schedule.

Contract VA247-P-1013 (T.O. 9). Project 508-14-105.

The project scope included full A/E design services to renovate approximately 950 SF of existing storage area into a hybrid surgical operatory suite. The renovation was located within the existing surgical suite on the second floor of Building C. A key design issue involved installing the imaging equipment within the existing 12-foot floor-to- floor height as the equipment manufacturer typically required a 10-foot- high ceiling for clearances of the booms and equipment. The HVAC ducts and lighting were routed to provide the necessary clearances.

The project was designed in accordance with the VA’s Surgical Design Guide and Specifications, and all applicable codes and regulations.

Services included, but were not limited to:

•Architectural design for demolishing the existing storage rooms and constructing the new surgical suite, including the operating room, control room, and equipment room. The new OR suite was designed for a Siemans Artis Zeego 3D multi-axis medical imaging device. Utility column basis-of-design was provided for Berchtold/Stryker anesthesia, perfusion, and exam light/monitor booms.

•Structural design included calculations and details for specific models and configuration of the articulating arm and utility column support structures. Additional structural bracing was required for both the immediate ceiling joists and the joists on the level below.

•MEP work for demolition and construction of new and existing HVAC systems, medical gases, DDC control, OR lighting, and power distribution via isolation power panels, all coordinated with manufacturer-specific equipment and layouts.

•Sprinkler system design for new suite.

•Incorporating lead lining into operating room walls per study and recommendations from a Radiation Physicist (consultant).

b. Utility Services Associates Burien, WA Subcontractor - Leak Survey

c.

Contract N69450-12-M-6088.

AKEA was contracted by NAVFAC Southeast to provide a leak detection study and survey of the entire water distribution system serving NSA Panama City, including all water mains and laterals. The NSA Panama City water system includes approximately 11 miles of typical water distribution. AKEA presented the findings in a report, along with recommendations for future operations, maintenance, and water conservation measures.

The survey phase of the leak detection study utilized sounding equipment provided by a specialized subcontractor to identify potential leaks within the distribution system. The sounding equipment was placed at valve, hydrant, and meter locations to “listen”

for possible leaks. Four leak locations were pinpointed, but none requiring immediate action (i.e., a Class I-A leak, which is hazardous in nature and has a potential for damage to other facilities and personnel). Although individually the leaks did not warrant immediate repair, it was determined that they would cumulatively cause water loss of more than 1.7 million gallons per year, and increased cost to water users.

Based on the study reports, recommendations were made to replace, repair (if possible), and maintain the system, and for future water audits. It was also recommended that discrepancies in the utility mapping be identified and corrected, and that a secondary water connection be investigated and implemented for a redundant domestic and fire protection water source.

The project scope included full A/E design services necessary to develop a construction project to build a new 525-space, 200,000 SF above-ground parking structure on the site of an existing surface parking lot at the Mountain Home VA Medical Center. All spaces were allocated in accordance with the demand identified by the Department of Veterans Affairs Parking Demand Methodology Facility Parking Analysis spreadsheet. The parking garage design included pedestrian control fending on the top level and fall protection screening on the interior levels.

The A/E work included, among other things, a topographic survey, geotechnical exploration and investigation, NEPA environmental assessment, and storm water calculations. Aesthetically, the garage as designed to blend in as much as possible with the existing materials to match historical buildings on the VA campus.

The utilities required to be brought to the site included: electrical service and distribution, lighting and power, and communication and lightning protection systems. Also included were basic heating and air conditioning for the elevator lobbies, elevator control room, and communications, mechanical, and electrical rooms. Plumbing work included plumbing consisting of multiple potable water hose bibs on each floor level and a fire protection system consisting of fire standpipes.

The garage was designed adjacent to a steep access road, thus entrances were provided to access the garage at two levels. The design also included an elevated deck over the road for the third and fourth levels. Site improvements included: asphalt pavement, parking lot striping and handicap ground sign, reconfiguration of new entry/exit driveway, and curb, gutter, and pavement markings. A traffic routing plan was developed to minimize impact to the VAMC campus during construction.

Construction period services include submittal reviews, site visits, and construction inspections.

c.

Contract N69450-15-C-4443.

This was a design-build project to expand the parking lot at the Sea King Park recreation area at NAS Jacksonville and obtain a storm water permit to support the expansion. The parking lot is a gravel lot approximately 290 x 130 feet in size, with a concrete ribbon curb. The expansion created two aisles of 90-degree parking on the north and south perimeters, with double parking aisles in the center, for an overall total of 100 parking spaces (designated by curb stops).

AKEA exceeded the client’s quality expectations by anticipating the use of the parking lot by larger commercial vehicles such as garbage trucks, and making construction adjustments (such as removing two bollards and widening the far side of the lot) to accommodate larger turn radii required by such vehicles, which was not taken into account in the client’s approval of the design.

The project included the permitting of an off-site pond to serve the storm water drainage basin centered along Birmingham Avenue of NAS Jacksonville as a regional storm water pond. Calculations, drainage plans, and exhibits were prepared to support the permit applications to the St. Johns River Water Management District.

PROJECT EXPERIENCE EXAMPLES Project Manager

Design-Build 1-Million-Gallon Elevated Storage Tank VA Medical Center

Miami, Florida

$3,236,405

Provided civil design support and project management for a one-million-gallon water tower as a source of potable water to supply the Miami VA Hospital with seven days of emergency capacity. The scope of work included the installation of an elevated steel, food grade holding tank, associated pumping, piping, and control systems, and a water treatment system.

Water treatment is provided to minimize the possiblity of contamination, and to booster the pumps to provide the necessary water pressure to supply water to the upper floors of the hospital. A small structure was erected at the base of the elevated water tower to house pumps, power, controls, and water chlorination equipment, with power to be provided by existing power generation.

Project Manager/Engineer/Contractor Design-Build Emergency Relief Warehouse Great Inagua, Bahamas

$1,709,986

Provided project management, design, and construction services for a U.S. Navy/Coast Guard Station in the Bahamas. The project included a new relief warehouse for the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) in the Bahamas. All necessary raw materials to construct, and infrastructure needed to ultimately support the remote facility, was transported to the island by barge. The island had less than 200 people and very few resources were available; what was available was cost-prohibitive. The unique challenge for this project was to work with the Bahamian government and the U.S. Navy to facilitate and maintain proper diplomatic relations while completing the design and construction on time and under budget.

AKEA overcame the distance and material availability limitations, represented the U.S. Navy well, and successfully delivered a quality product.

Also added a new handicap ramp and railing, a new flexible pavement pedestrian path, insulation in the attic, new paint inside and out, and brick details. The unique challenge for this project was to maintain the historical character of the building using new materials and following new regulations.
