Ferguson, Jr. U.S. Courthouse located at 400 North Miami Avenue, Miami, Florida 33128. The repair has been completely designed by a speciality water feature design firm and the design documents will be issued as part of the solicitation.

The existing water feature has been inoperable for approximately ten years. A section of the original tile and tile setting bed of the sloped surface of the water feature has delaminated falling into the existing pool basin below. In addition, there is persistent water intrusion present at this location originating from the water feature, through the foam board cavity and through the existing concrete and masonry substrate wall.
