Project Manager 1 s Experience
Experience
Selecting a consulting team has much to do with the specific qualifications
and knowledge of the project manager. This person must work well wtth you
and be able to effectively manage his team to meet your objectives. Our
project manager for the North Beach Recreational Corridor and Allison Park
is such a person. Scott Mingonet, ASLA, A1CP, has worked extensively with
the City of Miami Beach, is based in Miami Beach, and has 10 years of
specific experience in streetscape and recreating planning design. He has
worked with several municipalities to develop beautification programs within
the urban environment as well as creative solutions for active and passive
recreation opportunities.
As project manager on the North Beach Recreational Corridor Master Plan,
Scoll coordinated multiple tasks, including consensus building and
establishing preliminary cost estimates, in addition to assisting the City in
obtaining a $1.39 million ISTEA grant, the $1,000,000 in SNP Bond money
and $900,000 for Phase II Improvements via Transportation Enhancement
funds. For the Bay Harbor Islands project, Scoll was responsible for obtaining
a $75,000 and a $95,000 grant from FDOT.
As project manager for the Venetian Causeway Master Plan, Scoll is working
extensively with the City of Miami, City of Miami Beach, the Downtown
Development Authority of Miami, Miami-Dade County, and other jurisdictional
agencies as well as local stakeholder groups. His local knowledge and
experience will directly benefrt the important initiatives that will be undertaken
for this project.
These successful projects have all been influenced by Scoll's expertise and
management capabilities:

Description of Work: In our approach for the
preliminary master plan prepared for the two-mile North
Beach Recreational Corridor, every element of
pedestrian and bicycle comfort and safety was
considered. Strong local understanding and support for
the facility has resulted in commitments for partial
private funding, while the strength of the master plan
helped the City of Miami Beach obtain a $1.6 million
grant through the MPO's Transportation Enhancement
Program (administered through the federal

Description of Work: The revitalization of
Miami Beach's North Shore is turning
around years of decline. Encouraged by
the City's extensive citywide program to
inprove the infrastructure, streetscape,
and landscape architecture of the area's
streets and sidewalks, investors are
pouring millions into the evolution of North Beach, a transformation they hope
will rival the success of trendy South Beach a few miles away. Since 1989,
Kimley-Hom's work with the City of Miami Beach has been crftical to
establishing the roadway and streetscape elements upon which this
revftalization will build. The firm has provided streetscape design, urban

design, landscape architecture, utilfties and drainage design, roadway
engineering, transportation-related services, and construction phase services
for three miles of improvements. Attogether, projects valued at about $300
million are under construction or planned for North Beach by 2000, according
!o Donald Shockey, executive director of the North Beach Development
Corporation. Renovated hotels, restaurants, and night clubs are the main
focus of development efforts, and condominiums are
also appearing on once empty lots. Enhancing
pedestrian areas has been an emphasis during this
$16.5 million program, and Ocean Terrace, which fronts
the beach and Atlantic Ocean, now boasts sidewalks
wide enough to accommodate outdoor cafes as well as
pedestrian trallic. Kimley-Horn's assistance to the city
has also included designating a special assessment
district covering the roadway corridor that included over
300 property owners. In addition to building strong local
consensus for the project, we assisted the city in
obtaining over $7.5 million in funding from sources
outside the city. Now essentially complete, the North
Shore roadway improvements have established a solid
foundation for a revitalized North Beach.

Description of Work: Within walking distance from the historic Jupiter
Lighthouse, this 24-acre park will feature six soccer fields, a nature trail, a tot
lot, and four tennis courts. As ongoing consultant to the Town of Jupiter since
1972, our firm provided master planning services for the Jupiter Lighthouse
Park. A major element of the park design will be the delineation of the six
soccer fields. We have developed an "open green-space concept" that allows
the fields to be used in a variety of directions. This concept reduces field
maintenance costs because heavily used areas on a soccer field, such as the
goalie box, can be rotated to various locations. Our drainage and grading
plans will provide rapid water drainage so that the fields can be used shortly
alter rainfall. We have designed a nature trail weaving among the existing
native Floridian vegetation, thereby preserving important natural features.

a group of citizens appointed by the Town Council. Coordination wRh Palm
Beach County was also necessary to obtain approval for all enhancements.
Project enhancements include a designated bicycle lane on both sides of the
right-of-way, pedestrian walkways with ocean lookout points, refurbished and
enhanced landscaping, and beach portals adjacent to dune walkovers.
Extensive coordination with the Department of Environmental Resource
Management (DERM) and Florida Department of Environmental Protection
Agency (DEP) was necessary because of the fragile environment
represented by the beach area and the dune system. Precautions, which
included restructuring parking, will minimize the impact of beach-goers on the
delicate ecosystems that have already been showing signs of deterioration.
To allow for the existing conditions and natural features of the dunes, multiple
landscape designs were interspersed along the entire corridor. These
enhancements will not only improve the transportation system along the
Jupiter Beach/A1A recreational corridor, but will provide a much needed
protection for the dune and its ecosystems.

divided the city into three geographical areas to maintain use of at least one
local park during construction. Instead of closing all the parks in one central
location, renovations will occur on a rotating basis in each area. This will
allow local residents to maintain the use of other parks in their area while one
is being renovated. We are also working wtlh the city to unify all site
furnishings and fixtures. Not only will this establish a cohesive look for the city
and each park, it will result in a one-time-only bid and purchase effort.

facilities for access to the waterway; a community center converted from an
existing home; and an equestrian area complete with commercial stables, a
show ring, exercise areas, and spectator viewing. The equestrian show ring,
one of the largest in the state, is being considered by the U.S. Olympic
Committee for their equestrian training facility. To achieve positive community
support, we hosted several public workshops and breakout sessions for
interest groups and area residents to express their unique visions and goals
for this park. Based on the results of these meetings, we produced a public
involvement workbook that summarized project goals and presented two
alternative plans. The Martin County Board of County Comm issioners
formally adopted the project, which had received broad public support. Part of
the public involvement process included establishing volunteer groups to
provide ongoing input on park maintenance, operations, and future
development.

materials. Working with the town and the local business association we
developed a masterplan for the rehabilitation of the Kane Concourse, which is
Bay Harbor's only retail and restaurant destination. The design implemented
stately Royal Palms lining both sides of the street and the median. Pedestrian
seating areas were enhanced with canopy trees, providing comfortable
seating areas throughout the business district. The 'Love Sculpture' by world
renowned artist Robert Indiana was integrated into the design for the median.

features were highly effective in helping the Town and the neighborhoods to
identify the solution which best fit their needs.
Key design issues included the following:
. Conducted a series of public workshops to identify the needs of the
residents.
. Gained consensus from the community and Town council to develop the
vision for the initial improvement phase.
. Minimizing roadway cross sections in support of narrowing the street to
calm local traffic and permit the use of landscaped verges that separate
private property from the travel lanes.
. Cost alternatives and phasing opportunities which would provide
maximum flexibility in project implementation resulting from limited
funding sources.
. Neighborhood entry design which serves to reinforce neighborhood
identity, enhance security, and calm traffic.

John DePazos
(305) 673-7080
Description of Work: Kimley-Hom is providing the City of Miami Beach wijh
a comprehensive wastewater infittration and inflow (III) program. The
program employs a multi-phase condition assessment approach beginning
with broad program development and proceeding with successively
narrowing targets of further study and
uttimate reconstruction of only those
portions of the sanitary system that
would provide substantiai, cost-
effective III elimination. The initial
study identified 6.5 million gallons per
day (MGD) of infiltration into the
system that is cost-effective to
remove. In subsequent phases we
identified the sources of the III,
designed corrective rehabilitations,
and are ultimately overseeing the
construction. Nearly 500,000 LF of
sanitary sewer has been investigated,
and more than 300,000 LF has been
recommended for rehabilijation.
Kimley-Horn's extensive effort in
preparing the plans and specification
for this project has resulted in contract unij prices that are the lowest in the
country. To date, more than 40 percent of the recommended pipe
rehabilijation has been completed, with the greatest sources of VI being
addressed first. This rehabilitation has resutted in eliminating about 24
percent 01 the estimated 6.5 MGD of III from the sanitary sewer system. Once
complete, this III reduction program will save the City an estimated $2.1
million per year in reduced treatment costs.

Freedom Park Master Plan
Atlanta, Georgia
Freedom Park represents a 20-plus year struggle by residents to protect intown neighborhoods. Located just east of
Downtown, the property was originally condemned by the Georgia Department of Transportation for a freeway to
connect to Stone Mountain in the eastern suburbs. After years of
controversy involving the city and residents of five historic intown
neighborhoods, the freeway was finally limited to a four-lane parkway
running from downtown to the Carter Presidential Center and beyond.
The surrounding land was dedicated to the creation of a park.
EDA W created the master plan based on a program defined by
extensive input from surrounding residents and local groups. EDAWs
services are continuing through the detailed design and construction
phases. The resutting plan reflects a strong sense of community.
The park property contains significant historic and cuttural value. It was
the site of the Battle of Atlanta during the Civil War and is surrounded
by several of Atlanta's first 'suburban" neighborhoods. It also acts as a
link between downtown, the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Site and the Carter Presidential Center. At the
east-end of the park property begins the Ponce de Leon parks system designed by Fredrick Law Olmsted.

The Carter Center
Atlanta, Georgia
The Carter Center is a nonprom, nonpartisan public policy institute founded by former Unned States President Jimmy
Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, in 1982. Four interconnected buildings
totaling nea~y 100,000 square feet occupy a 30-acre campus wnh a
commanding view of downtown Atlanta. Key elements of the site are
two tiered lakes wnh waterfalls. President Carter, who stocked the
lakes with fish, visits the lakes throughout the year. This development
is the centerpiece of the city's 207 -acre Freedom Park.
EDAW provided master planning, landscape architecture and site
engineering services, leaving large trees undisturbed, integrating
buildings and parking with hillsides to fully express the terrain, and
orienting buildings to capture the dramatic views. Pedestrian paths and jogging trails are interwoven with landscaped
parking areas and sculpturelviewing gardens featuring native Georgia plants.
Formal elements enhance the Carter Cente~s natural selling. These include a traditional Japanese garden with
waterfalls joining the site's two man-made lakes; and axial drive lined with trees leading to the library and terminating
at the Court of Flags; and a classical entry garden that sets the tone for the visno~s experience and characterizes
President Carte~s commitment to a quality environment.

(305) 673-7080
Description of Work: The firm provided planning and engineering services
for the redevelopment of the Lincoln Road Mall, a mixed-use center
accommodating arts and entertainment, office, retail, and residential uses.
We worked closely with the project architect in the planning and design of the
mall's infrastructure and beautification elements. As a resull, our
development of a fasHrack construction program saved implementation
costs. In fact, the construction cost estimated during the planning phase
equaled the construction bid amount, and the final construction cost.
Throughout plan and design development, we maintained close coordination
with the local business community to optimize the fit between the physical
improvements and the goal to revitalize Lincoln Road as one of the premiere
shopping districts in South Florida. As a resull of the improvements, Lincoln
Road Mall has indeed become a premiere shopping district.

millions into the evolution 01 North Beach, a translormation they hope will
rival the success 01 trendy South Beach a lew miles away. Since 1989,
Kimley-Hom's work with the City 01 Miami Beach has been crilicalto
establishing the roadway and streetscape elements upon which this
revitalization will build. The lirm has provided streetscape design, urban
design, landscape arcMecture, utilities and drainage design, roadway
engineering, transportation-related services, and construction phase services
lor three miles 01 improvements. Altogether, projects valued at about $300
million are under construction or planned lor North Beach by 2000, according
to Donald Shockey, executive director 01 the North Beach Development
Corporation. Renovated hotels, restaurants, and night clubs are the main
locus 01 development efforts, and condominiums are also appearing on once
empty lots. Enhancing pedestrian areas has been an emphasis during this
$16.5 million program, and Ocean Terrace, which fronts the beach and
Atlantic Ocean, now boasts sidewalks wide enough to accommodate outdoor
cales as well as pedestrian traffic. Kimley.Hom's assistance to the city has
also included designating a special assessment district covering the roadway
corridor that included over 300 property owners. In addition to building strong
local consensus lor the project, we assisted the city in obtaining over $7.5
million in lunding Irom sources outside the city. Now essentially complete, the
North Shore roadway improvements have established a solid foundation lor a
revitalized North Beach.

program employs a multi-phase condition assessment approach beginning
with broad program development and proceeding wnh successively
narrowing targets of further study and ultimate reconstruction of only those
portions of the sanitary system that would provide substantial, cost-effective
III elimination. The innial study identnied 6.5 million gallons per day (MGD) of
infiltration into the system that is cost-effective to remove. In subsequent
phases we identified the sources of the III, designed corrective
rehabilitations, and are ultimately overseeing the construction. Nearly
500,000 LF of sanitary sewer has been investigated, and more than 300,000
LF has been recommended for rehabilitation. Kimley-Hom's extensive effort
in preparing the plans and specification for this project has resu~ed in
contract unit prices that are the lowest in the country. To date, more than 40
percent of the recommended pipe rehabilitation has been completed, with the
greatest sources of III being addressed first. This rehabilitation has resulted
in eliminating about 24 percent of the estimated 6.5 MGD of III from the
sanitary sewer system. Once complete, this III reduction program will save
the City an estimated $2.1 million per year in reduced treatment costs.

the Lowe's Convention Center Hotel were constructed in time for the hotel
opening. Construction of the hotel, and Rorida Power and Ught (FP&L)
system improvements ran concurrently wnh our utility improvements. We
coordinated closely with Lowe's Development Corporation and FP&L to
provide them access to their snes, and to keep vehicular and pedestrian
traffic flowing. After meeting with area stakeholders, we devised an
innovative maintenance-of.trafflC plan that minimized inconveniences to the
public. We also scheduled nighttime construction to reduce traffic impacts.
Before we completed the project, we provided restoration to sidewalks, curbs

Miami Beach Aquifer Storage and Recovery,
Miami Beach, FL
Client: City of Miami Beach
Julio Grave de Peralta
(305) 673-7080
Description of Work: In February, 1995, the firm prepared and submitted a
proposal to the South Florida Water Management District for the City of
Miami Beach in response to the District's request for proposals for a
cooperative cost-share water conservation project. Our approach was to
conduct a study and design pilot facilities to determine the feasibility of using
a shallow aquifer storage and recovery system as an irrigation supply for the
city. The proposal was selected from 60 grant submittals in October 1995.
The project consists of two phases. The first phase included an engineering
and hydrogeologic feasibility study. The study was used to determine ff ASR
was viable for Miami Beach. The second phase of the project includes
design, construction, and implementation of a full-scale pilot ASR testing
program that will include cyclic recharge and recovery of stored water Irom
the target aquffer. The project was unanimously approved by the District's
Board and by the City 01 Miami Beach Capital Improvements Board. Tom
Singleton, project manager for the District, said, 'The District is truly excijed
about this project concept and believes that this creative approach should be
applied up and down Rorida's coast.' The project, which began in March
1996, represents the largest grant given to any municipality under this
proposal.

Working wnh the City of Miami Beach, EDAW, Inc. is preparing the Beachfront Vision 2000 Master Plan. The master
plan provides a framework for beach improvements from South Beach to 4']1h Street. In association with Bermello
Ajamil and Partners, EDAW is developing a program to improve the beach's image by comprehensively examining
the issues of security, entryways, concessions operations and standards, and the historic character of beach facilities
arcMecture and landscape.
The plan will provide operational and design standards for beach concessions. Beach improvements are planned
around gateways that are the primary access routes to the beach. These gateways provide additional facilities for
concessions, restrooms and security. Graphic and design standards for beach fumnure, signs and beach structures
are proposed.
EDAW is working with the Steering Committee, comprised of business and civic leaders, to organize the critical role
of design and programming of the gateway amenities and the comprehensive master planning process. The plan will
include recommendations and an implementation schedule to launch the restructuring of Miami Beach's image into

In recent years, a "call to arms' for a revitalized Indian Creek corridor has issued foIIh from individuals and groups
with a stake in the future of Miami Beach: community residents, business owners, civic leaders, and residents of
adjacent areas. In response to this vocal and broad-based call for action, the City of Miami Beach invited EDAW
sSummer Student Program to Miami Beach for an intensive, two-week workshop in June 1999. For members 01 the
team, the objectives of the workshop were to listen to the concems and goals of the community's stakeholders,
document their vision of a beautified corridor, and provide overall planning and design recommendations for a 2.5-
mile-long corridor between 23nl and 67'" Streets in Miami Beach.
The workshop culminated in a preparation of a master vision for the Indian Creek Greenway, which was presented in
draft form to community members on July 25, 1999. The Indian Creek Greenway Master Plan is intended to inspire a
true public/private partnership in the Miami Beach community that will, in tum, resutt in the successful implementation
of physical, natural, and ecological improvements to the Indian Creek corridor.
The corridor has many opportuntties for increasing the scenic views down the creek in addition to creating visual links
to the beachfronl. This visual connection, not only to the natural environment but also to the man-made, built form,
creates opportuntties for developing cuttural, historical, and educational signs to interpret the corridor. The ecology of
the creek is somewhat overshadowed by the intensity and speed of vehicular activity on Collins Avenue. While
environmental and ecological assets are typically lacking in major urban area, Miami Beach possesses a natural
resource of significant value that is currently underutilized. To enhance the overall experience of Indian Creek,
attention should be given to developing the water quality, ecological signifICance, and habitat environment of the
precious waterway.
