GLE has conducted lead inspection and risk assessment services for the Tampa Housing Authority in response to elevated child blood lead levels and abatement of interior and exterior portions of the housing units based on the results of lead inspections and risk assessments. GLE has also conducted projects related to mold assessments in damaged facilities, feasibility assessments for past and present project sites relative to potential environmental contamination, Phase I environmental site assessments, feasibility analysis for the redevelopment of old landfill sites owned by the Tampa Housing Authority, radon testing, HUD Noise Assessments and other indoor air quality work.

GLE served as the engineer and construction manager for the building demolition and site redevelopment of the Riverview Terrace Apartments. GLE demolished 125 units within a 354-unit complex. Our unique qualifications for this project included both the engineering expertise required for the demolition/reconstruction and the environmental consulting expertise to survey and remediate the asbestos and lead-based paint prior to the commencement of demolition activities. The project was further challenged by the need to complete all demolition and site redevelopment activities while more than 60% of the units remained occupied. Therefore, resident safety and maintenance of utilities became issues of paramount concern. The project was completed on time and under budget.

GLE recently completed the design and construction management for the demolition of Central Park Village. GLE demolished a 550-unit complex, consisting of 24 acres and 58 buildings. The demolition included all buildings, pavement, and underground utilities as well as remediation of hazardous materials. Due to the age of the housing complex extensive investigations were required for the design, including environmental site assessments, asbestos and lead surveys and underground utility location. In order to obtain LEED points for the new development, the demolition required the recycling of concrete and masonry block walls from the units. The remediation of the site has been completed and the demolition of the site was completed in November 2007.

Job Order Contracting (JOCs) Program Management Consultant - Tampa, FL

GLE provided the Tampa Housing Authority (THA) with professional consulting services for the development and completion of work scopes, project schedules and project budgets for more than 20 projects.  For each of the projects, GLE completed site investigations with THA representatives and job order contractors (JOCs) to establish a scope of work for the project. Project scopes varied from simple reroofings and fixture replacement, as well as 504 improvements, and comprehensive modernizations and structural repairs/renovations. Once scopes are established, GLE employed our in-house general construction estimating staff to assist in the development of project budgets. Finally, GLE, THA representatives and JOCs negotiated an agreement defining the final scope of work and budget. In many cases, GLE’s services were expanded to include construction administration services to ensure THA that projects were being completed in accordance with local codes and the project scope.
