Charles W. Burkett, the mayor of the town of Surfside, Fla., is “very concerned” that Allyn Kilsheimer, the town’s structural consultant probing the June 24 fatal collapse of part of the 12-story Champlain Towers South, has not been allowed on the site by the Miami-Dade Police Department. In addition, Burkett is troubled by a recent MDPD request for qualifications for local structural forensic engineering services that disqualifies any firm with “conflicts or associations with the building or the Town of Surfside.”

That rules out any application from Kilsheimer, founder, chairman and CEO of KCE Structural Engineers, based in Washington, D.C. “I’m very concerned that our expert, one of the most qualified engineers on the planet, has been blocked from the site” to study the foundations and anything below grade, says Burkett. “If the county is going to be hiring someone else, we need someone as qualified or more qualified than Allyn Kilsheimer.”

自6月25日以来，基尔斯海默（Kilsheimer）和他的团队一直在研究1979年的住宅公寓计划，新利18备用该公寓于1981年开业。他们已经从原始计划中建立了3D模型，但无法完成一个未能访问证据和现场的备用模型。。他们观看了照片和视频，从边缘探究了崩溃，迄今为止，倒塌至少98人。但是，沮丧的基尔斯海默说，但是如果不测试材料并检查地基和地下室，就不可能找到原因或原因。

他说：“我们在一起有一个团队，但警察不允许我们进入现场。”“任何尚未命名的团队都将在我们落后四个，甚至八周的时间里。”

不Reason To Evacuate

KCE also has been doing walk-throughs of other Surfside buildings, looking for danger signs of failure. In addition, KCE has inspected a near twin of the reinforced concrete Champlain Towers South named Champlain Towers North. His team took concrete cores of slabs and found no reason to evacuate that building or others in Surfside.

On June 24, however, officials did evacuate two buildings out of precaution—the buildings immediately to the north and south of Champlain Towers South, which has since been razed and the site cleared.

Before the debris and rubble were removed, the National Institute of Standards and Technology identified and tagged more than 200 pieces of evidence, including sections of columns, beams and slabs. MDPD, which is preserving the evidence for NIST’s future technical phase of its probe, has removed all the material either to a remote lot or a warehouse.

7月29日，在与迈阿密戴德县市长丹妮拉·莱文·卡瓦（Daniella Levine Cava）和MDPD联系后，伯克特（Burkett）被允许参观被清理现场，仅由Surfside的镇长和镇检察官陪同。

“先生。Kilsheimer不允许去现场。” Burkett说。“他需要进入现场才能查看基础。”

Miami-Dade Equitable Distribution Program

For its forensic consultant, Francisco M. Caldera, the capital improvements project analyst in the county's small business division, emailed on July 28 a request for qualifications, called an "equitable distribution program survey," to dozens of firms in the EDP program.

该县说，该县的EDP建立了一个合格的当地建筑师，工程师和景观建筑师的县池，并提供了一个程序来平等分配较小的县资本改进项目。新利18备用网址这些项目的建新利18备用网址设成本不到200万美元，专业费用高达20万美元。

All qualified firms with a local Miami-Dade office may potentially participate in the EDP program, which is “not only a minority and/or small business program. However, the ranking method favors the smaller firms with fewer previous county work opportunities,” says the county.

MDPD在其要求下表示，它正在寻求合格的EDP结构顾问，该顾问“具有结构评估的第一手经验，包括但不限于进行法医调查，准备维修设计并准备/提交拆除工程设计/许可申请。”

该公司至少具有20年的经验，应该能够对所有建筑和设计合同文件，检查日志，测试，替代，代码和时间标准等进行全面调查，如顾问所要求的那样，以及对失败结构的现场检查，向MDPD提供有关结构性故障原因的工程法医调查报告。”

该请求并未具体命名尚普兰塔楼南楼。但是，该公司必须具有高层体验和钢筋混凝土结构的背景。工程师必须“与建筑物或Surfside镇没有冲突或协会”，并且“愿意与NIST工程师进行联络，并与MDPD凶杀案调查人员进行良好的沟通。”

该电子邮件要求提供简短的确认答复，并于7月30日通过电子邮件发送给francisco.caldera@miamidade.gov。调查说，这些回应只是为了维护维护他们满足电子邮件中提出要求的公司的清单。

At ENR publication time, Miami-Dade County and MDPD had not responded to questions and requests for interviews about the survey and other subjects related to the condo failure.

伯克特说，找到6月24日惨败的原因或原因是他的责任，尤其是因为Surfside还有其他类似年龄和建筑的建筑物。他说：“我们有数百人的生命悬而未决。”“人们需要知道他们的建筑物是否安全。”
