Lee County, FL — AIM Engineering & Surveying, Inc. (AIM) was responsible for providing surveying and civil engineering services to design, permit, and construct these two new fire/EMS station facilities for the Lehigh Acres Fire and Rescue District in Lee County. The two new stations provide an increased level of service to the unincorporated community of Lehigh Acres. Both station sites required rezoning and an innovative design approach was required for Station No. 4 to provided internal fire suppression water supply, as public water (utilities) did not extend to the site.

AIM helped to develop a hydrant draft system that utilized water in a drainage canal adjacent to the site. AIM’s services included boundary and topographic survey, rezoning services, site design, regulatory permitting, and construction administration services.

Client: Lee County Parks & Recreation
Project Duration: 2003 – 2004 (design through construction)

Bonita Springs, Florida – Lee County Parks & Recreation selected AIM to perform Surveying and Civil/Site Engineering services for 4.9 acres of improvements within the existing 9.3 acre Lover’s Key State Park. The improvements included the installation of a paved asphalt driveway, turn lane on CR 865, asphalt paved parking lots, restroom facilities, volleyball court, designated shelters, children’s playground, and cooking grills.

In designing the improvements to the existing facilities, the master drainage plan was designed to provide water quality for the newly added impervious areas, and to show a net benefit for the existing site by providing additional water quality storage. These goals were accomplished through the use of a dry detention area along the southeast side of the recreational park. Because runoff is conveyed via sheet flow across the natural slope of the property, it became the most feasible and economical option to collect the runoff utilizing the natural patterns.

Runoff is discharged into Estero Bay through the use of a proposed modified Type C inlet as a control structure. Estero Bay is classified as an Outstanding Florida Water; therefore a 50% increase in storage capacity within the water management system was required. The end result of this project was an expanded and improved recreational facility where the public can enjoy the amenities for which Southwest Florida is known.
