The Central County Neighborhood Improvement Project (CCNIP) is the second of three neighborhood infrastructure improvements projects carried out by Broward County in the unincorporated areas. The project included improvements to the drainage, water, sewer, and roadway systems. Chen and Associates was selected to be the design engineer for one third of the project sites, including the Franklin Park, Washington Park, St. George West and East neighborhood areas. Chen and Associates was also part of a team of engineers that completed the basis of design report (BODR), and served as the project reviewer that made recommendations resulting in substantial savings to the project’s budget. The Washington Park Portion of the project had design fees of approximately $1,250,000.000 and involved the installation of water improvements (in conjunction with the City of Fort Lauderdale), along with paving and drainage improvements, landscaping and entry features. The project was completed on time and on budget, at approximately $8 Million in July 2002.
