AMELIA ISLAND STATE PARK
Amelia Island, FL
The plan was completed for the Masters Program of Urban Regional Planning
for which it received the Award for Project Excellence in Design and
Management. The plan incorporated three active recreation nodes and
compacted sand parking areas with boardwalks, nature trails, and horse trails at
the southern tip of Amelia Island.

JOHN MACARTHUR STATE PARK
Singer Island, FL
The plan consisted of developing a state park with a special emphasis on native
habitat preservation/education. The parking was located in an existing stand of
Australian Pine, which was largely removed and a nature center sited in an
existing stand of hammock trees. A bridge led over the tidal lagoon to the
barrier island/dune, where two restroom/shower facilities were located with
dune crossovers leading over the dune to the beach. Our responsibilities
included site analysis, design development, construction documents, and
specifications.

THE OLETA RIVER STATE RECREATION AREA
North Miami Beach, Florida
The park program called for a variety of public recreational uses, such as the
creation of a man-made beach, numerous picnic pavilions, restrooms, large play
areas and children's playgrounds. The design concept called for a central
parking zone (located in an area overtaken by non-native plant species) around
which the passive and active park activities were strung along the coastline.
Adriana Savino participated in the schematic design & construction documents
of all shelters and public bathrooms.

JOHNSON AND WALES UNIVERSITY
North Miami, FL
The design concept was to reflect the primary function of the university as a
culinary institute. Traditional forms of cultivation, i.e. the orchard, grove, and
garden, were integrated with building's architectural elements to symbolize the
grid-like land use patterns of agriculture. The design also addresses streetscape
improvements, and the liberal use of edible plants for a continuous supply of
fresh "produce". Native wetland and coastal hammock plantings were used
alcng the banks of Little Arch Creek, a state natural water, and manatee zone.
Other site design elements include lighting, seating, paving and irrigation.

LOEWS MIAMI BEACH CONVENTION CENTER HOTEL
Miami Beach, FL
The design concept for the winning proposal was to create maximum interaction
between the building's indoor and outdoor space while providing for a dramatic.
vista to the pool, beach, and Atlantic Ocean beyond. Various patios, terraces
af'ld decks are sited along the cascading linear fountain, which defines the vista
to the ocean. Along Collins Avenue, the intent was to make the streetscape
"pedestrian-friendly", with raised terraces and seatwalls which encourage people
to "participate" in the streetscape.

ROYAL PALM CONVENTION HOTEL
Miami Beach, FL
The design concept for the hotel juxtaposes an urban plaza at the hotel's entry
on Collins Avenue with a tropical oceanfront garden. The plaza is designed as a
simple "urban grid" which gradually ascends to the hotel's lobby, while seeming
to emerge from a public "beachwalk" on the north side of the site. An elevated
terrace - designed as an extension of the public plaza to the south - allows the
user a view over the tropical palm garden out to the ocean beyond. The terrace
and plaza are interconnected by a grand stairway, completing the urban design
linkage. The site program also includes an elevated pool, allowing a view to the
ocean, and an at-grade tropical lagoon and pool.

Miami Beach, FL
The Master Plan, presently ongoing, proposes streetscape improvements and
reconfiguration for the 100' R. O. W. from 5th to 16th street through the heart of
the Art Deco District. The design criteria balances needs for circulation (mass
vehicular transit, pedestrian) historic district preservation, future growth, and the
creation of a pedestrian-friendly environment. Intensive analysis of existing
conditions and design of street alternatives, have led to the preparation of a Final

SOUTHEAST NORMANDY ISLE ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
Miami Beach, FL
The plan consisted of streetscape planting and paving on three streets in
Normandy Isle. A small park is located near the center of the neighborhood,
which is a simple, grass lawn encircled by flowering trees. Large canopy trees
were specified for street trees to increase pedestrian comfort and improve the
neighborhood's character. A median is created along one street with a heavy
planting of palms.

Miami Beach, FL
The proposed 16th Street extension will provide more direct access to the
Convention Center Hotel and serve the hotel parking garage located on the south
right-of-way of 16th Street between Washington Avenue and Collins Avenue.
The Landscape Design concept is to create a tropical and playful entry sequence
to the hotel's arrival court. Decorative concrete patterns will integrate the 16th
Street Streetscape with existing city sidewalks and the proposed walkways for
the hotel. Coconut palms were chosen as the street tree on the east/west
corridor, which will provide an immediate and continuos tropical canopy and
visual buffer to the garage.

ANAL YSIS:
On November 2, 1999, the City of Miami Beach voters approved the issuance of an approximately
$92 Million General Obligation (GO) Bond for Neighborhood, Parks and Beach, and Fire Safety
Improvements.
In an effort to begin the implementation of these Bond Projects, the City desires to contract with
design professionals in accordance with Florida Statute 287.055 for planning and the preparation of
the construction/bidding documents needed to undertake the work detailed in the Scope of Work for
the above mentioned facilities.
The selected firm will be responsible for reviewing existing City of Miami Beach Zoning Ordinances
and Building Codes, and for incorporating the data into complete construction documents including
final working drawings, maintenance expenses, construction estimates, specifications, and bid
documents necessary for the bidding and construction of this project.

ANALYSIS (continued)
The firm will be responsible for obtaining all Federal, State and local permits necessary for the
construction of the project, and may also be required to provide consulting services to the City on
various matters which do not result in drawings or specifications.
The design will be developed with the input of the City Administration, the various City Boards an:i
Committees, as well as area residents and other interested individuals and groups.
The design team will be headed by a Landscape Architect and must include an Environmental
Coastal Engineer experienced with native beach plant materials, coastal planting and environmental
permitting.
This is a City-wide coastal landscape restoration and enhancement project. The project will involve
the removal of nuisance exotics and include the planting of native dune species at key areas along
the City's sand dune system. Dune plantings will be designed to re-fill voids in the existing
landscape, impede improper encroachments across the dunes.
In those areas where the beaches are wider and more stable, a series of coconut palm clusters will
also be installed. These undulating clusters of palm trees will provide beach goers with shade oases
in which to stroll, rest or picnic. Because the plantings will be located in a zone impacted by storm
surges which is east of the Erosion Control Line, special hurricane resistant anchoring systems must
be utilized in order to hold plantings stationary in the event of a storm. Coastal Construction Permits
are required from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Beaches and
Coastal Systems.
On January 12,2000, the Commission adopted a resolution authorizing the issuance of a Request
for Qualifications (RFQ) for Architectural, Engineering, Landscape Architectural and Graphic
Design Services for Various City Projects in Accordance with the November 2, 1999 General
Obligation (GO) Bond Project List.
The RFQ was issued on January 20, 2000, with an opening date of March 1,2000. Four-hundred-
fifty-six (456) notices and one-hundred-sixteen specifications were issued, resulting in the receipt
of two (2) responsive responses from the following firms:
