Florida Design Consultants (FDC) was engaged by Pasco County Stormwater Management Division to perform field data collection of stormwater infrastructure assets. This work included providing data in a format that seamlessly integrated into the existing County’s Enterprise System. Using state-of-the-art GIS equipment (Leica Zeno CS24 with GG03 Antennae), our GPS field Crews were able to collect elevations and attributes in in real time (RTK). The field GPS crews used ESRI ArcPAd with a customized applet to store all the field attributes, thus negating the need to translate data into other formats. Crews were able to establish Vertical control via conventional methods where sufficient vertical control does not exists to verify the GIS units.

The FDC Analyst and technicians then imported the data into a custom file geodatabase and corrected any field mistakes. All data went through a 3-step process to assure the data was correct, all attributes were collected and all line work was connected. A geometric network was then created from the features to assure connectivity.

Florida Design Consultants (FDC) provided a variety of engineering, planning, landscaping and surveying services to Port Richey as their City Engineer.

FDC was responsible for reviewing plans to determine compliance with existing codes and regulatory agency requirements for general development of subdivisions and multiple developments, included review of available water supply, storm drainage, sanitary sewers, streets and site grading plans of subdivision lots and multiple developments. Additionally, FDC was responsible for review of site plans for commercial and industrial projects for available water supply, storm drainage, streets and sanitary sewers; review of collection of stormwater onsite and elevations of buildings are required by Port Richey.

FDC reviewed 10 and designed 3 projects for the City of Port Richey since 2016.

The Wesley Chapel Park Expansions consisted of the construction of additional amenities to the existing park. The additional park facilities included multi-purpose play fields and additional parking area and drive aisles. The parking is geoweb stabilized grass surface. The multi-purpose fields are synthetic turf material which is underdrained.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Florida Design Consultants (FDC) was engaged by Pasco County Utilities for the study, survey, design, permitting, public relations, and construction of 5.5 miles of 30-inch ductile iron force main. This force main routed through the Moon Lake Estates Subdivision to the terminus on State Road 52 in Pasco County, Florida. The design was challenging due to congested right-of-ways, location of potable water wells, underground utilities, numerous driveways, and impacts to the traveling public including neighborhood streets, and school bus stops. The project included a heavy public outreach program consisting of public meetings and a project website to keep the residents informed on the progress of the project. Additional coordination was required for a surface water crossing with the environmental entities of the SWFWMD and the ACOE. FDC provided topographic design survey drawings using the Pasco County provided field survey work. FDC also provided construction stake-out and record surveys.

Florida Design Consultants (FDC) was engaged by Pasco County Stormwater Management Division to perform field data collection of stormwater infrastructure including integration with an enterprise GIS and GPS system. Using state-of-the-art GIS equipment – Leica Zeno GG03 (wireless all in one GPS, GIS and tablet units) collect County owned stormwater structures in accordance with Client requirements and specifications for integration to the County’s GIS system. Task Orders are provided in increments of 4 to 9 sections of land at a time. Vertical control is established via conventional methods where sufficient vertical control does not exists to verify the GIS units.

Florida Design Consultants (FDC) was designated as New Port Richey’s City Engineer by contract. In this capacity, FDC has a continuing services relationship with the City and has completed numerous drainage related projects for the City as listed below:

2013 Master Drainage Plan.
