  • Portmiami Cruise Terminal Miami, Florida
    CASE STUDY PortMiami Cruise Terminal Miami, Florida HISTORY In the early 1900s, a powerful hurricane hit the southern end of Florida, creating what is now called Government Cut, by splitting the southernmost tip of Miami Beach. This cut was dredged, along with a new channel, to Bicentennial Park in the heart of downtown Miami. The new access to the mainland created the Main Channel, and shipping access to the new port was greatly improved. The remains from the dredging were used to create three new islands, Dodge, Lummus, and Sam’s Islands. In 1960, the County and City commissioners of Miami-Dade approved the construction of the new PortMiami. This new port would be built on Dodge Island, which was to be connected to both Lummus and Sam’s Islands. Upon construction of the new seawalls, transit shed A, the administration building, and a new vehicle and railroad bridge, operations were transferred from the mainland port to the new PortMiami on the wholly man-made Dodge Island. PROBLEM PortMiami is recognized as the Cruise Capital of the World. It has retained its status as the number one cruise passenger port in the world for well over four decades, accommodating cruise vessels of many major cruise lines. In 2010, PortMiami handled more than 4.1 million cruise passengers. As the population of South Florida grew, so did the needs of PortMiami. The cruise industry supports one of the biggest economic generators for the region, tourism. PortMiami plans to remain number one by competing for the growing cruise industry. To accommodate for this growth, Unmatched Product Range Material Availability Manufacturing Capabilities Innovative Applications and Engineering Expertise CASE STUDY PortMiami Cruise Terminal the port must begin to invest in a new, larger Global and their supplier, Nucor Skyline, to PROJECT PARTNERS terminal complex.

Gudgel (Corresponding author) Tel: 703-362-2684 Email: [email protected] George Mason University, 3351 Fairfax Dr. Arlington, VA 22201, United States (DRAFT – August 13, 2013) Abstract This case study examines how public-private partnership (P3) contractual agreements are being used to implement two complex underwater tunnels in the United States – the Port of Miami Tunnel (POMT) in Miami-Dade County in southeast Florida, and the Midtown (Elizabeth River) Tunnel Corridor (MTC) project in the Hampton Roads region of southeast Virginia. Both P3 contracts require the concessionaire to design, build, finance, operate, and maintain (DBFOM) the project facilities; however the POMT concessionaire is compensated through availability payments, while the MTCP concessionaire is receives payment through the collection of tolls. The POMT project is on schedule for opening in May 2014, while the POMT has encountered legal challenges to its toll concession which expose the Commonwealth of Virginia to financial liability, threatening their ability to deliver the Midtown Tunnel and potentially jeopardizing other Virginia PPTA and toll projects. This paper looks at P3 legislation and transportation planning in both Florida and Virginia, and at the opportunities, risks, and lessons learned from utilizing P3 contractual agreements on these complex infrastructure projects.

    PART 1: THE PROBLEM OF EMOTIONALLY UNHEALTHY SPIRITUALITY I want to welcome you as you begin this journey, both as individuals and as a group, into what we call the Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Course, or the EHS Course. I am excited you are here and pray the next several weeks will enable you to walk through a door – a door into a new, very alive, very powerful transforming relationship with Jesus Christ. The church is in deep trouble today. It is like we are sitting on top of an iceberg that is melting, but we reluctant to make the needed changes. Millions of dollars have been spent to analyze the complexity and trends of what is happening in the church today. Here is what we know: • The total number of people who identify themselves as evangelical Christians w/ • personal relationship with Jesus is declining rapidly. • The broader culture of the USA is becoming more opposed to the values of Scripture more quickly than most of us realize. • An estimated 8 out of 10 youth from Christian homes walk away from their faith by age 23. • In most congregations, ages eighteen to twenty-nine are the black hole of church attendance. This age group is “missing in action” • Only one out of four American Christians study the Bible regularly to find • direction for their lives (Gallup, 2003). The list actually goes on, but I think you get the point. The iceberg of church life as we know it is melting. That is no longer in doubt. As 2 massive studies have shown us – one by the Willow Creek Association and the other by George Barna -“People are not experiencing transformation in our churches.” PP SESSION 1: THE PROBLEM OF EMOTIONALLY UNHEALTHY SPIRITUALITY - 2 Most Christians have either slipped into a spiritual coma or are stuck at a wall in their walk with Christ.
