Sisters of St. Joseph Motherhouse St. Augustine, Florida Matthews | DCCM is providing a full range of surveying and site development services for the approximately 2.96-acre Motherhouse property of the Sisters of St. Joseph, located on St. George Street within St. Augustine’s historic district. As part of efforts to prepare a portion of the property for future sale, services began with a comprehensive boundary and topographic survey, including detailed tree location mapping. The scope includes permitting coordination with the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD), City of St. Augustine (COSA), Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), and Florida Power & Light (FPL). Additional responsibilities involve the preparation of a conceptual site plan, variance and use-by-exception applications, and the development of documentation for both a Certificate of Demolition and a Certificate of Appropriateness. Public involvement and agency coordination are key components of this effort, including community meetings with surrounding residents and consultations with members of COSA’s Planning & Zoning Board (PZB), Historic Architectural Review Board (HARB), and the City Commission. The project also includes landscape design with supporting specifications, details, and tree mitigation calculations, as well as irrigation design and construction administration services.

University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences Campus St. Augustine, Florida Matthews | DCCM provided surveying services for full utility as-built, as well as paving and drainage as-built for this exciting project in St. Augustine. This project exemplifies the power of repurposing existing infrastructure to foster sustainable growth in a rapidly expanding community. The campus repurposes the former home of the St. Augustine Record newspaper by renovating the existing 40,000-square-foot building and adding an 80,000-square-foot expansion, showcasing a commitment to sustainability through adaptive reuse. The state-of-the-art campus is located just two miles west of USAHS’s original location of over 40 years. With a vision for innovation and a $74 million investment, the new campus will support the university’s commitment to advancing health sciences and empowering students to succeed as leaders in their fields. As a proud partner in this initiative, Matthews | DCCM is honored to contribute to a project that prioritizes education, sustainability, and community enrichment, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality solutions that support meaningful growth.

Port Buena Vista

Port Buena Vista East Palatka, Florida Matthews | DCCM provided engineering services for the lift station design at the end of Margarita Road in the Port Buena Vista (PBV) development in East Palatka. Our team successfully decommissioned the PBV Waste Water Treatment Facility and designed and permitted the force main connecting the new lift station to the existing county- owned facility, which spanned State Road 207 and various county roads. Aligned with the FEMA HMGP application process, our scope included surveying, design, construction plans, permitting with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), active participation in meetings, and vigilant oversight during construction. Our team collaborated with Jackson Geotechnical Engineering for Geotechnical Engineering. Together, we conducted a geotechnical exploration at the proposed lift station location, analyzing subsurface conditions through field exploration and laboratory tests. The results, conveyed in a detailed report, were integrated into the final construction documents.

St. Augustine Marine Center

St. Augustine Marine Center St. Augustine, Florida Our endeavor to expand the St. Augustine Marine Center stands as a transformative initiative, revitalizing a pivotal maritime hub adjacent to the St. Augustine Inlet. Extensive groundwork, including due diligence, conceptual site planning, surveying, and architectural renderings, has laid the foundation for this ambitious project. Currently, we are advancing through the permitting process and concurrently refining comprehensive architectural designs, complementing finalized rezoning and construction plans. This meticulous approach ensures that the Marine Center will undergo essential infrastructure upgrades, berth expansions, and the introduction of cutting-edge amenities, all aimed at enriching functionality and customer experience. Distinct from conventional industrial boat storage environments, the design ethos of the marina expansion is centered around community engagement. From a café-style restaurant to storefront shopping areas, the expanded facility seeks to reinvigorate neighboring communities and foster a vibrant waterfront atmosphere. As we progress towards the implementation phase, ongoing collaboration with stakeholders and regulatory bodies remains paramount. This ensures that the Marine Center’s expansion aligns seamlessly with community needs and environmental considerations, securing its long-term viability and success as a cornerstone of St. Augustine’s maritime identity.

Tocoi Creek High School St. Augustine, Florida Matthews | DCCM provided professional engineering associated with the design and permitting services to the Architect-of-Record for the new high school located along International Golf Parkway, northeast of the Mill Creek Academy in St. Augustine, Florida.  This school is situated on a 69-acre site and consists of five buildings comprising of classrooms, a gym, a cafeteria, an auditorium, and an administrative office. The campus includes student, teacher, and visitor parking, a football field, a baseball field, a softball field, basketball courts, and a bus drop-off area.  Scope of work included conceptual site plan depicting the location of buildings, parking, and stormwater management areas; engineering designs and construction plan preparation showing land clearing and tree removal limits, demolition, site grading and earthwork, stormwater drainage systems, paving and water and sewer utilities. Offsite improvements associated with the high school included the addition of turn lanes, driveway design and modifications, maintenance of traffic (MOT) plans, and signing and pavement marking (S&PM) plans. Additionally, our team conducted a topographic survey of the baseball field to address the ponding and drainage challenges that arose from the installation of clay, hindering proper stormwater drainage. By meticulously analyzing the site’s contours and identifying areas of concern, we developed an engineered design to rectify the drainage issues.
