Project). Consultant shall immediately provide the Project Administrator with written
notice stating the reason for the particular delay; the requested adjustment (i.e.
extension) to the Project Schedule; and a revised anticipated schedule of completion.

extension of time for completion of the particular work involved, and authorize that the
appropriate adjustment be made to the Project Schedule. The Project Administrator's
approval (if granted) shall be in writing.

working relationship with the Project Administrator, Contractor, and any and all other individuals

Service Order, in a competent, timely and professional manner, and shall be responsible to the
City for any failure in its performance, except to the extent that acts or omissions by the City

completeness, performance and coordination of all Services required under the Agreement and
under the Consultant Service Orders (including the services performed by Subconsultants),

utilizing the skill, knowledge, and judgment ordinarily possessed and used by a proficient
consulting with respect to the disciplines required for the performance of such Services in the
State of Florida. The Consultant is responsible for, and shall represent to City that the Services
conform to the City's requirements, the Contract Documents and all Applicable Laws. The
Consultant shall be and remain liable to the City for all damages to the City to the extent caused
by the Consultant's deficient Services, breaches of this Agreement, or negligent acts, errors or
omissions in the performance of the Services In addition to all other rights and remedies which
the City may have, the Consultant shall, at its expense, re-perform all or any portion of the

writing, of any deficiencies and shall approve the method and timing of the corrections.

costs of any resulting deficient, defective construction work that may be directly related
to Consultant's deficient Services or any negligent acts, errors or omissions in the

review to other consultants (engaged by the City at its expense) any or all parts of the Services
11
and the Consultant shall fully cooperate in such review(s). Whenever others are required to
verify, review, or consider any Services performed by Consultant (including, without limitation,
contractors, other design professionals, and/or other consultants retained by the City), the intent
of such requirement is to enable the Consultant to receive input from others' professional
expertise to identify any discrepancies, errors or omissions that are inconsistent with industry
standards for design or construction of comparable projects; or which are inconsistent with
Applicable Laws; or which are inconsistent with standards, decisions or approvals provided by
the City under this Agreement. Consultant will use reasonable care and skill, in accordance and
consistent with customary professional standards, in responding to items identified by other
reviewers in accordance with this subsection. Consultant shall receive comments from
reviewers, in writing, including, without limitation (and where applicable), via a set of marked-up
drawings and specifications. Consultant shall address comments forwarded to it in a timely
manner. The term "timely" shall be defined to mean as soon as possible under the
circumstances, taking into account the timelines of the Project schedule.
2.11.1 The Consultant is advised that a performance evaluation of the Services
rendered throughout this Agreement will be completed by the City and kept in the City's
files for evaluation of future solicitations.
2.12 Consultant agrees that when any portion of the Services relates to a professional service
which, under Florida Statutes, requires a license, certificate of authorization, or other form of
legal entitlement to practice and/or perform such Service(s), it shall employ and/or retain only
qualified duly licensed certified personnel to provide same.
2.13 Consultant agrees to designate, in writing, within five (5) calendar days after receiving a
fully executed Consultant Service Order, a qualified licensed professional to serve as its project
manager (hereinafter referred to as the "Project Manager"). The Project Manager shall be
authorized and responsible to act on behalf of Consultant with respect to directing, coordinating
and administrating all aspects of the Services. Consultant's Project Manager (as well as any
replacement) shall be subject to the prior written approval of the City Manager or the Project
Administrator. Replacement (including reassignment) of an approved Project Manager shall not
be made without the prior written approval of the City Manager or his designee (i.e. the Project
Administrator).

from the City Manager or the Project Administrator (which notice shall state the cause
therefore), to promptly remove and replace a Project Manager, or any other personnel
employed or otherwise retained by Consultant for the Project ( including, without
limitation, any Subconsultants).
2.14 Consultant agrees not to divulge, furnish or make available to any third party(ies), any
non-public information concerning the Services or the Project, without the prior written consent
of the City Manager or the Project Administrator, unless such disclosure is incident to the proper
performance of the Services; or the disclosure is required pursuant to Florida Public Records
laws; or, in the course of judicial proceedings, where such information has been properly
subpoenaed. Consultant shall also require Subconsultants to comply with this subsection.
2.15 The City and Consultant acknowledge that the Services, as described in the Agreement
and the Consultant Service Order, do not delineate every detail and minor work task required to
be performed by Consultant to complete the work and/or services described and delineated
under a Consultant Service Order issued to Consultant by the City. If, during the course of
12
performing work, services and/or tasks on a particular Consultant Service Order, Consultant
determines that work and/or services should be performed which is, in the Consultant's
reasonable opinion, outside the level of effort originally anticipated in the Consultant Service
Order, then Consultant shall promptly notify the Project Administrator, in writing, and shall obtain
the Project Administrator's written consent before proceeding with such work and/or services. If
Consultant proceeds with any such additional work and/or services without obtaining the prior
written consent of the Project Administrator, said work and/or services shall be deemed to be a
Basic Service under this Agreement and shall also be deemed to be within the scope of
services delineated in the Consultant Service Order (whether or not specifically addressed in
the Scope of Services). Mere notice by Consultant to the Project Administrator shall not
constitute authorization or approval by the City to perform such work. Performance of any such
work and/or services by Consultant without the prior written consent of the Project Administrator
shall be undertaken at Consultant's sole risk and liability. _
2.16 Consultant shall establish, maintain, and categorize any and all Project documents and
records pertinent to the Services and shall provide the City, upon request, with copies of any
and all such documents and/or records. In addition, Consultant shall provide electronic
document files to the City upon completion of the Project.
2.17 THE CITY HAS NO OBLIGATION TO ASSIST, FACILITATE AND/OR PERFORM IN
ANY WAY THE CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE AGREEMENT OR OTHER
CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. THE CITY'S PARTICIPATION, FACILITATION AND/OR
ASSISTANCE TO THE CONSULTANT SHALL BE AT ITS SOLE DISCRETION AND SHALL
NOT, IN ANY WAY, BE CONSTRUED, INTERPRETED AND/OR CONSTITUTE AN
ASSUMPTION BY THE CITY OF CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS, A WAIVER OF
CONSULTANTS OBLIGATIONS AND/OR EXCUSE ANY BREACH BY CONSULTANT OF
ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. THE PARTICIPATION IN THE
PERFORMANCE OF ANY OF CONSULTANTS OBLIGATIONS SHALL NOT PRECLUDE
THE CITY FROM DECLARING CONSULTANT IN DEFAULT FOR CONSULTANT'S FAILURE
TO PERFORM SUCH OBLIGATION, NOR SHALL IT LIMIT, IN ANY WAY, THE CITY'S
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THE CONSULTANT EXPRESSLY
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES NOT TO RAISE OR ASSERT AS DEFENSE TO ANY
CLAIM, ACTION, SUIT AND/OR OTHER PROCEEDING OF A SIMILAR NATURE, THE
CITY'S PARTICIPATION, ASSISTANCE AND/OR FACILITATION IN THE PERFORMANCE
OF CONSULTANTS OBLIGATIONS. INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ASSISTING

those commitments made by the Consultant in its Proposal and during the competitive

information as the City reasonably requests to evidence the creation, standing, ownership and
professional licensure of the Consultant (and Subconsultants), including organizational
documents, operating agreements and professional licensure documentation, and copies of the
Consultants contracts with the Subconsultant with respect to the Project. However, the City's
failure to request such documentation or evidence and/or failure to enforce in any way the terms
and provisions of this Section, the Agreement and/or any other Consultant Service Order during
the Project does not excuse, waive and/or condone in any way any noncompliance of the
requirements set forth therein including, without limitation, the professional licensure
requirements. Any approval of a Subconsultant by the City shall in no way shift from the
Consultant to City the responsibility for the quality and acceptability of the services performed by
the Subconsultant. Payment of Subconsultants shall be the sole responsibility of the
Consultant, and shall not be cause for any increase in compensation to the Consultant for
payment of the Services.
ARTICLE 3. THE CITY'S RESPONSIBILITIES

Administrator shall have full authority to require the Consultant to comply with the Contract
Documents, provided, however, that any failure of the Project Administrator to identify any

waiver of, or excuse, the Consultant's obligation to comply with the requirements of the Contract
Documents.

information that the City has in its possession pertinent to the Project. Consultant hereby

excavation or demolition). Survey information shall be spot checked to the extent that
Consultant has satisfied itself as to the reliability of the information.

which approval (if granted at all) shall be in its sole and reasonable discretion.

of the Consultant shall be solely for the purpose of the City's determining for its own satisfaction
the suitability of the Project, or portions thereof, detailed in such documents for the purposes
intended therefor by the City, and may not be relied upon in any way by the Consultant or any

13.1 ERRORS AND OMISSIONS: It is specifically agreed that any construction changes or
design changes categorized by the City as caused by an error, an omission, or any combination
thereof in the Contract Documents that were prepared by the Consultant will constitute an

the City for errors, omissions or any combinations thereof shall be calculated as the total cost of
any damages or incremental costs to the City resulting out of the errors or omissions by the
Consultant, including, without limitation, the direct, indirect and/or consequential damages
resulting from the Consultant's errors and/or omissions or any combination thereof.
Damages shall include delay damages caused by the error, omission, or any combination
thereof. Should the Consultant disagree that all or part of such damages are the result of
errors, omissions, or any combination thereof, the Consultant may appeal this determination, in
writing, to the applicable Assistant City Manager or the City Manager. The Project
Administrator's decision on all claims, questions and disputes shall be final, conclusive and
binding upon the parties hereto unless such determination is clearly arbitrary or unreasonable.
In the event that the Consultant does not agree with the decision of the Project Administrator,
the Consultant shall present any such objections, in writing, to the City Manager. The Project
Administrator and the Consultant shall abide by the decision of the City Manager. This
paragraph does not constitute a waiver of any party's right to proceed in a court of competent

ANALYSIS
The City's current agreements for general transportation planning and traffic engineering consulting
services had an initial term commencing on October 11, 2012 through October 10, 2016, with a
provision allowing the term could be extended for an additional two (2) years through October 10,
2018. At this time, the Transportation Department is seeking to replace the exdsting contracts to
pursue proposals from firms that can provide transit planning and implementation of transit projects
that require the coordination of land use decisions, which include the focusing of mixed-use
development into key locations throughout the region and the promotion of transit, pedestrian, bicycle
and auto accessibility. Given that the scope of future assignments is unknown at this time, it is
important to create a robust pool to expedite future needs.
Therefore, the City of Miami Beach seeks to contract with a pool of qualified consultants to provide
Page 200 of 1633
professional services transportation planning .and related services on an "as needed basis." The
Consultants shall provide subject ratter expertise to the City of Miami Beach specializing in planning
for transportation and related projects. Suggested specializations include, but are not limited to:
general transportation planning, smart growth, livable cities, complete streets, integration of
transportation and urban design, economic and financial analysis, transit planning, bicycle and
pedestrian planning, station area planning, and traffic engineering.

was issued. A voluntary pre-proposal conference to provide information to proposers submitting a
response was held on May 9, 2017. RFQ responses were due and received on June 14, 2017.The

A summary of each top-ranked firm is available upon request.
CONCLUSION
The Miarri Beach Transportation Master Plan, adopted in April of 2016, identified 102 potential
projects in the next few years. The City Commission has directed Transportation staff to implement
the Transportation Master Plan as quickly as possible. Each of the 102 projects identified in the plan
will need an initial feasibility study followed by design development. This work is primarily done by
the Transportation General Planning Consultants (GPCs). Additionally, other project needs arise
from time to time. As such, staff has expressed a need for a robust pool of consultants to be able to
expeditiously address project needs.
The current pool of Transportation GPCs consists of only four (4) firms. More than four GPC finis
are needed to move projects forward quickly into project implementation, as the existing firs are at
capacity with the various ongoing projects or studies, either with the City or elsewhere. For these
reasons, the Transportation Department is recommending selection of the top eight (8) finis as
ranked by the selection convrittee.
After considering staff's recommendation and the results of the Evaluation Committee process, I
recommend the selection of the top eight(8)fires as ranked by the selection committee. Doubling the
nunter of firms will enable the Transportation Department to address project needs
more expeditiously and begin project implementation sooner.The recommended pod of eight (8)
firms contains each individual Evaluation Conrrittee member's top four (4) highest ranked firs.
Selecting a pool larger than eight (8) finis may be too large for the anticipated work load.
Additionally, several of the finis that are not in the pool of the eight (8) recommended firms are
currently available either through the Miami Beach Architectural and Engineering (A&E) list or may
be contracted, if needed, as sub-consultants to the eight(8) GPC firs being recommended.
Therefore, after reviewing all the submissions, results of the evaluation process, and the
anticipated implementation of the Miani Beach Transportation Master Plan projects, I recommend
that the Mayor and City Commission approve the resolution authorizing the Administration to
establish a continuing pool of prequalified consultants for general transportation planning and traffic
engineering services, pursuant to Section 287.055, Florida Statutes, from the following firms qualified
to perform the work: HNTB corporation, as the first ranked proposer; Nelson/Nygaard Consulting
Associates, Inc., as the second ranked proposer, H.W. Lochner, Inc., as the third ranked proposer;
Gannett Fleming, Inc., as the fourth ranked proposer; Calvin, Giordano&Associates, Inc., as the fifth
ranked proposer; Kittelson &Associates, Inc.,as the sixth ranked proposer, Marlin Engineering, Inc.,
as the seventh ranked proposer; Alta Planning + Design, Inc., as the eighth ranked proposer.
Further, I recommend that the Mayor and City Clerk be authorized to execute agreements, upon
conclusion of successful negotiations by the Administration,with the prequalified fims.

The Goals below were developed to move toward this mode share and to guide project selection during the
Transportation Master Planning process:
Goal 1: Prioritize the people, the pedestrians.
Goal 2: Provide reliable,convenient, and consistent transit service and infrastructure.
Goal 3: Develop a safe, connected, and consistent bicycle network throughout the entire City.
Goal 4: Provide accessible and convenient off-street parking facilities.
Goal 5: Ensure most, if not all, planned developments are within all areas of the City are in concurrence with
the expected capacity levels and the multi-modal vision for the transportation network.
Goal 6: Plan for the efficient freight mobility and deliver of goods within the City.
From these efforts Priority 1 (short term), Priority 2 (medium term), and Priority 3(long term) projects were identified
to meet the Transportation Department's goals and Key intended Outcomes. The short term projects are based on
an assessment of needs and the potential for rapid deployment. The mid- and long- range planning phases are
designed to further shape the City by upgrading transit corridors, mobility and accessibility throughout the City.
An additional and very important component of transit planning and implementing regionally significant transit
projects is the coordination of land use decisions, which include the focusing of mixed-use development into key
locations throughout the region and the promotion of transit, pedestrian, bicycle and auto accessibility. To
accommodate these needs, a broad, interdisciplinary team is required.

City may enter into a 'continuing contract" for professional architectural and engineering services for projects in
which construction costs do not exceed $2 Million or for study activities for which the fee does not exceed $200,000.

during competitive negotiations, which will take place after the selection of the firms deemed to be the most qualified
to perform the required services. If the City is not able to negotiate a mutually satisfactory compensation schedule

US-1 intersection. There also was a recently . •, '
approved mixed use development called
Palmetto Promenade that is under construction - _ �`
and will soon be adding additional trips on to
the road network being studied. These approved but unbuilt development projects will be adding committed
trips to this corridor, which will affect the subject intersection of NE/SE 5th Avenue and Palmetto Park Road.
The additional trips generated for the site were looked at when analyzing the intersections.One other local issue
affecting this study area and all coastal communities in South Florida is the regularly scheduled bridge openings
to allow for the maritime traffic on the intercostal waterway.This occurs just east of the intersection of Palmetto
Park Road and NE/SE 5th Avenue.
CGA utilized Synchro modeling software to analyze the roadway network including the arterials and intersections
in the core Downtown Boca Raton area for existing (short term) and future (long term) planning horizons.This
scope of work included an arterial analysis, intersection analysis and safety review of the subject intersections.
The final report included context sensitive design alternatives and mitigation including proposed multimodal
improvements.CGA performed a quantitative and qualitative ranking of each alternative which included which
improvement provided the best level of service and least delay as well as which improvement was the most
pedestrian friendly and safest alternative.
• Improvements proposed as part of the traffic study have been built.

CITY OF KEY WEST CARRYING CAPACITY STUDY(2012-2016)
As the City's traffic engineering consultant, CGA
was selected by the City of Key West to complete rExhibits,Existing Conditions PA1Peak Hour Peak Direction LOS I
a comprehensive traffic study of the entire City ofmss..
Key West encompassing more than 15 corridors
and 25 intersections. The purpose of the study
was to determine the carrying capacity of key ,.s
corridors in the City. The study specifically
addressed the numerous vehicle types,including • i's'
tour vehicles, which are common in the City. t.k �'
The project included several public outreach 0�,,'
,Fc
meetings and surveys to keep residents informed 'T'
on the study and enabled residents to voice their
opinions on a variety of transportation issues. '•'
The study also evaluated traffic counts, speed u----
data,
— ..---data, vehicle classifications, corridor travel time '
runs,multi-modal vehicle attributes,general roadway characteristics,speed limits,parking,cruise ship data,bike
lanes, sound levels,and roadway Level of Service (LOS). Four different methodologies were utilized to evaluate
the City's transportation system.A 3D comprehensive citywide model utilizing VISSIM software was one of the
;., �hibt*.DnwntnwnPwitinllrovenh� l — methodologies chosen. The VISSIM model was developed
rf.e;�;.„ after extensive data collection and was highly calibrated
�. - - to the existing conditions. The model consisted of eight
�.
ik �� _ -4 \ � different vehicle types along with pedestrians to replicate
the multi-modal nature of the City.The findings of the study
��� _ \ were documented in the final report, which consisted of
I�:

plan for the overall CDD. The Master Circulation Master Plan's main goal was to evaluate
current traffic conditions and patterns; identify concern locations; develop conceptual strategies;
recommend and prioritize traffic improvements; and an action plan that will provide the Dolphin
Mall with a more effective traffic circulation system that will enhance mobility and safety to
facilitate the movement of goods and customers that enter and exit the mall.
The CDD is delimited by the north side by NW 25th Street, by the east side by NW 112th/111 st
Avenue, by the south side by NW 12th Street and by the west side by the Florida Turnpike. The
CDD encompass a business/warehousing area with its main attraction being the Dolphin Mall.
In addition, the CDD has initiated a plan to develop an IKEA store between the Dolphin Mall and

Relevant Project Experience
1. Seven50 regional prosperity plan, SE Florida: Roar Media was hired in 2012 to
conceptualize, plan and promote a series of public summits to inform development of a
regional plan for Southeast Florida's future in the next 50 years. The first summit was taking
place six weeks after we were hired, and the client— a multi-jurisdictional partnership — had no
marketing materials— not even the most basic elements, such as a name for the plan. In six
weeks, we created a comprehensive brand identity for what was then an incipient and diverse
partnership, developed a name, logo, style guide, messaging and positioning platform, two
websites, and social media profiles. We also developed a fully integrated, bilingual public
relations program that included local, regional and national media relations, digital and social
media, as well as a smartphone app, among other innovative marketing strategies and tactics.
The first summit for the Seven50 plan (`seven counties, 50 years") was highly successful with
extensive print and broadcast media coverage and more than 650 attendees. Public demand
was so high that a webcast was provided for those who could not fit in the room.
Strategies
• Develop and establish a brand identity to position Seven50 as a robust, united group
• Produce four community summit events to raise awareness and receive community input
and support
• Elicit participation from a large, fractured group of constituents
• Deploy a comprehensive digital marketing program to further engage and inform South
Floridians
• Deploy a bilingual media relations program to raise regional and national awareness
• Leverage connections with local leaders and influencers to lend credibility and enhance
visibility
• Establish a social media identity and implement an organic social media campaign to get
input from the Southeast Florida community
Tactics:
• Establish a brand identity by creating a name, logo, style guide,
messaging and positioning platform, app, collateral marketing materials
and website
• Plan and execute summits and create event-marketing materials
• Drive summit attendance with email marketing campaigns to distribute e-vites, reminders
and post-event recaps; creating event registration website landing pages; populating
community event calendars; and securing media coverage
• Distribute surveys to summit attendees; provide Keshot video booths where attendees at
summits could create personal videos expressing their views. Broadcast these videos
during the summits and feature videos on Seven50's website
• Conduct a bilingual media relations campaign to garner media coverage from hyperlocal
community newspapers to top-tier national broadcast and print media
• Provide media training workshops for Seven50 spokespersons to ensure key messages
were appropriately communicated; provide crisis communications counsel; and coordinate
media interviews
M •
150 Alhambra Circle,Suite 725 I Coral Gables,FL 33134 USA I 305.4012080 Main I www.RoarMedia.com
• Design, develop and search-engine-optimize an extensive website with interactive
elements including online polls, a downloadable app, the ability to create preferred future
scenarios online, calendar of events, social media feeds, access to interactive summit
recaps and presentations, and infographics, timelines and videos
• Launch Facebook and Twitter accounts and develop communities organically by cross-
promoting social media channels at summits, via the email marketing campaign and
through collateral materials; and post summit updates
Evaluation of SuccesslResultslROl
• 1,874 guests attended the summits, surpassing our goal of 1,500
• 2,245 participants completed surveys, exceeding our goal of 1,500
• We secured 178,229,315 media impressions, exceeding our goal of 100,000,000
• We drove 1,801,332 website views (as of May 2, 2014) to the wivw.seven50.org website,
exceeding our goal of 1,000,000
• Social media campaign reached 78,732 Facebook users and 3,336 Twitter users,
exceeding our goal of 50,000 Facebook users and 2,500 Twitter users.
• Our efforts facilitated the creation of 24 reports, including the 336-page "Seven50: SE
Florida Prosperity Plan,"
• The project was awarded the APA Florida Award of Merit in the "Best Practices in the
Public Engagement" category.

2. Wheels: Advancing Florida's Mobility Future:
Wheels is a five-day celebration of Miami's bike-walk-transit trails designed to elevate awareness
of green mobility and South Florida's transportation and transit issues.
Roar Media was hired in 2015 to help support and promote a series of events culminating in a
celebration of Miami's bike-walk-transit trails. We created and executed a comprehensive
messaging and public relations outreach program resulting in extensive print, online and
broadcast media coverage. As such, we oversaw the media relations and crisis communications
program.
Strategies and tactics:
• Deploy a bilingual media relations program to raise local, regional and national awareness
• Leverage connections with local leaders and influencers to lend credibility and enhance
visibility
Execution:

• Crash Data Management and Analysis;
• High Crash Location Review;
• Roadway Safety Audits;
• Pedestrian Safety Studies;
• Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Action Plans;
• Qualitative Assessment;and
• Strategic Highway Safety Plans.
The CGA Team looks to complete projects that reduce and immediate or future risk or addresses a safety hazard
or safety need. The City has installed Rectangular Rapid Flashing beacons along a number of road segments
including Alton Road in order to provide for advanced notification of a midblock crossing. The CGA Team has
the expertise in evaluation of high accident/crash locations and has been using Signal Four Analytics to evaluate
these locations for other municipal clients such as the Cities of Weston and Pembroke Pines.Signal Four Analytics
is a program developed by the University of Florida which evaluates crash data from the Florida Department
of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. Crash Data is updated nightly and are geo-located which allows them
to be shown on an interactive map and be presented as a spatial distribution of crashes. Intersection and road
segment crash data analysis can be performed for certain timeframes to evaluate types of crashes(vehicle/bike/
pedestrian), time of day, road condition and other variables through the use of Signal Four Analytics. Signal
Four Analytics is a critical tool in synthesizing crash data and evaluating citywide assessment of locations with
potential for safety improvements.This can serve as an impetus for potential Capital Improvement projects in
the future.

TRANSIT EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS
TOA's familiarity with and approach to transit planning and operational analysis strives to focus on using our
experience-driven insight to develop practical solutions that have stakeholder and public support so that they
can be readily implemented to produce successful outcomes. Specific examples of the many successes we have
helped achieve over the past two decades include efforts that resulted in:
• New transit systems/services(Collier,Hernando,Lake,and St.Lucie counties,FL;Clayton and Cobb counties,
GA)
• Expanded transit services (Hillsborough, Lee, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Sarasota counties, FL; Greensboro
and Fayetteville,NC; Clemson,SC; others)
▪ New transit funding (St. Lucie County MSTU, Pasco County sales tax, Jacksonville sales tax, FL; Clayton
County,GA sales tax)
• Cost savings (Route 140 efficiency savings in Lee County, FL; streetcar data collection requirements in
Hillsborough County, FL and Charlotte, NC; updated passenger mile sampling requirements in Sarasota
County,FL)
• Increased ridership and efficiency(corridors and networks throughout Florida and the US)
As illustrated on the map on the following page,TOA has provided transit services to clients throughout Florida
and in 17 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. These projects have ranged from short- and long-
range planning to operational analysis and from transit facility infrastructure support to helping agencies meet
various federal and/or state regulatory requirements.The graphic added on the following page, highlights the
key areas of the Tindale Oliver Team's transit expertise in which they have supported numerous clients.
TRANSIT OPERATIONS PLANNING
In addition to designing new services,it is important for transit agencies to monitor existing services to ensure that
they continue to function as efficiently and effectively as possible.To do this,many agencies generate and analyze
regular performance reports and/or establish performance metrics by which to measure how their routes are
doing.The TOA Team has worked with several transit properties in the development of performance monitoring
systems and has completed a variety of operational analyses on routes and entire networks. Conducting these
analyses involves a more intricate and detail-oriented examination of existing public transportation services.
Such efforts typically are referred to as a comprehensive operations analysis (COA) and require a high level of
examination and detailed service analysis for selected routes and/or service areas.The analysis typically involves
ridecheck data collection to highlight route utilization and potential load issues,windshield surveys to view the
character of the route corridor, and on-time performance checks, among many other analyses.These extensive
service planning efforts also may include detailed scheduling support such as blocking,run cutting,and rostering
to support suggested modifications to the existing service network. The TOA Team has significant experience
with operational assessment efforts,including the completion of 80+COAs,transit service/operating plans, line-
by-line analyses,and short-range transit plans for transit agencies throughout the US.Currently,we are leading a
team that is completing a concurrent TDP and COA process for Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority(FL)
that is intended to establish a new 10-year vision for transit in the county.

TRANSIT FINANCIAL PLANNING&ANALYSIS
The two basic components of financial planning for any transit agency are what it costs to operate service and how
much funding is available.TOA Team members are experienced in assisting transit agencies with service costing
analysis and revenue identification.We have assisted agencies with cost allocation modeling,budget review and
analysis,and financial planning and reporting.As noted previously,we developed the financial spreadsheet tool
now recommended by FDOT for use by state transit agencies for statutorily-required TDP submissions.
A thorough understanding of federal transit grants and an experienced perspective on county and municipal
finance are critical elements of TOA's funding support to transit operators and public agencies.We have assisted
communities in evaluating and recommending "dedicated" sources of local funding for transit that can include
ad valorem taxes, sales taxes, gasoline taxes, rental car fees, vehicle tag taxes, and hotel room taxes, as well as
conducting analyses of impact fees or mobility fees to ensure that new development can support transit funding
needs.
TOA has assisted several transit agencies in reviewing fare policies,whether simply to raise a base fare or revise
the overall fare structure and related policies. This support has included conducting analyses to determine
an agency's fare elasticity to estimate the effects that proposed fare changes will have on ridership, the
recommendation of appropriate changes to cash and pass pricing structures,and the review of potential Title VI
implications of proposed changes to ensure compliance with federal regulations.
TRANSIT INTERMODAL FACILITY DEVELOPMENT
Intermodal facilities and capital infrastructure for a transit agency can include bus stops,transfer centers,park-
and-ride lots,and operations and maintenance facilities.All may have different uses,but all require appropriate
planning and design to ensure functionality, effectiveness for use by patrons and/or employees, and efficient
use of federal,State,and local capital funding that often is insufficient to meet all existing needs for many transit
agencies.TOA is experienced in planning for transit capital projects,including transit infrastructure and facilities.
We have produced bus stop infrastructure design guidelines for numerous transit systems,some of which have
been formalized in the community's land development regulations.TOA also developed transit facilities guidelines
for two FDOT Districts and continues to provide support to FDOT and local communities to incorporate transit
infrastructure into local developments.Selected intermodal facility experience includes the following:
• Led team for facility redesign for Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (HART) 21st Avenue operations and
maintenance facility.
• Supported Collier Area Transit (CAT) with the development of a facility layout concept for its new Radio
Road operations complex.
• Supported Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) staff in its efforts to meet the requirements of a
consent decree by assessing and designing ADA accessibility improvements for 550 bus stops along 8 major
corridors in Pinellas County,improvements that were then implemented.
• Provided support to PSTA with the design of layouts for two transfer facilities associated with shopping
centers.
• Developed white paper for Lee County Transit to document understanding of existing and future conditions
for the Rosa Parks Intermodal Center Feasibility Study and to determine the need for future expansion.
• Currently negotiating the scope of services to conduct two Intermodal Center Site Selection and Feasibility
studies for FDOT District 7 (University of South Florida area in Hillsborough County and Wiregrass/Wesley
Chapel Area in Pasco County),anticipated to begin in August 2017.
This experience highlights our understanding of the need for multiple transportation modes to interface efficiently
to move people and goods—hence,the reason for our commitment to planning and designing infrastructure that
fosters mobility.

TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT(TOD)
The TOA Team understands the effect that transit can have on land use,and vice versa.The implementation of
transit can open new land for development and spur redevelopment.Conversely, the nature, mix,and intensity
of land uses can determine whether there will be sufficient demand for transit services along a corridor or in an
area.
To this end, the TOA Team includes experienced urban planners who are knowledgeable about transit-oriented
development (TOD) and related Complete Streets precepts and have dealt successfully with various aspects of
the transit-land use interface.Our staff have been involved in the development of several infrastructure guideline
manuals for transit agencies that have outlined key TOD principles.In addition,we worked with Pinellas Suncoast
Transit Authority(FL)and the Pinellas Planning Commission to develop land development codes for the agency's
best-performing routes to create transit and development emphasis corridors for the county.
The TOA Team understands the facility siting process for transit facilities such as transfer centers or park-and-
ride lots.Commuter origins and destinations must be identified to determine appropriate catchment points along
a corridor or within a regional network,and government-owned properties in the area can then be identified that
might serve as a facility. If none are available,a search for privately-owned properties that could be purchased
or leased is conducted,including opportunities for shared-use facilities such as church or large shopping center/
mall parking areas that may be underused during the week, such that a Memorandum of Agreement could be
developed between to share use for park-and-ride purposes.
Spatial analysis is critical to the effective evaluation of public transportation routing and service areas.The TOA
Team makes extensive use of GIS to augment its planning and engineering services. Innovative spatial analysis
techniques are used to support service area analysis, market assessment, ridership projections, routing, and
scheduling,among others.TOA also has supported transit agencies in the development of their own internal GIS
service capabilities,providing on-site training and instruction.

TRANSIT DEVELOPMENT PLANS
TOA has produced TDPs for clients in Florida and the US, either leading or being significantly involved in the
preparation of more than 60 major updates since 1999. We have completed TDPs for a range of system sizes,
including smaller systems such as Ocala's SunTran system with 6 fixed routes and Concord Kannapolis(NC)Area
Transit with 7 fixed routes;medium systems with 30-50 fixed routes,such as Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority
(St. Petersburg), Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (Tampa), and Broward County Transit (Fort Lauderdale);
and larger systems such as Miami-Dade Transit with 95 routes.We also have assisted transit agencies with the
completion of interim-year TDP progress reports and short-range transit plans. These efforts have included
the development of 5-year, 10-year, or longer-term vision plans that have helped establish service goals that
ultimately resulted in greater transit support,more funding,expanded service,and/or increased ridership.
Additionally,TOA played a prominent role in the development of both the original and updated FDOT Guidance
for Producing a Transit Development Plan(August 2009).In particular,TOA developed the TDP financial planning
analysis tool for FDOT that was prepared as part of this effort and also played a major role in the related FDOT
training sessions that were hosted throughout Florida in 2010 and 2011.As such, our team is well-acquainted
with the latest reporting requirements outlined in the currently-adopted TDP Rule from February 2007.
To support the demand estimation component of TDPs,the TOA Team offers unmatched experience with TBEST
(Transit Boardings Estimation and Simulation Tool),FDOT's approved ridership forecasting tool for the purpose
of estimating future-year agency patronage per the requirements of the TDP Rule. We have been using and
applying the tool since its inception and have worked closely with the developer in debugging and beta-testing
updated versions of the software.
Since many transit agencies use the TDP update process to better understand the characteristics and needs
of their patrons, as noted previously, TOA also offers comprehensive transit on-board survey experience. This
experience has covered all aspects of the survey process, including survey design, sampling plan development,
administration and oversight, and data reduction and analysis. A total of 30 on-board bus surveys have been
completed since 1999 in numerous communities for Florida transit agencies in Brevard, Broward, Collier,
Escambia, Hernando, Hillsborough, Lake, Lee, Manatee, Okaloosa, Pasco, Pinellas, Sarasota, and Volusia
counties, among others. In addition, we have played a major role in on-board surveys in other parts of the US,
including Greensboro and Concord/Kannapolis (NC),Aiken (SC),and Albany (GA),and for nine transit agencies
in southwestern Pennsylvania. Since 2010, our staff completed 18 major on-board surveys for Florida transit
agencies (Alachua, Brevard [2], Broward, Collier, Escambia, Hillsborough [2], Lee [2], Manatee, Ocala/Marion,
Okaloosa,Pasco,Pinellas,Sarasota,St.Lucie,and Volusia counties).
Finally,as part of the FDOT TDP guidance,TOA prepared an assessment of potential public involvement techniques,
which we use to support the development of the required Public Involvement Plan in cooperation with each of
our TDP clients,as well as for the development of outreach programs associated with other transit projects.

3.1 APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY
The CGA Team has a good understanding of the scope of work for this General Transportation Planning and Traffic
Engineering Consultant Services Contract.CGA also has a good understanding of the existing bicycle,pedestrian
and transit needs of the City of Miami Beach.With the recent approval of the City of Miami Beach Transportation
Master Plan, the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and there is a road map developed to deliver the mode
share hierarchy as adopted by the City of Miami Beach in April of 2016.The prioritization of alternative modes
of transportation with pedestrians,transit,bicycles and freight taking a higher priority than personal vehicles is
paramount to creating a livable city.
Although the City of Miami Beach has not finalized the 2017/2018 budget as of yet, the 2016/2017 budget
included elevating walkability and pedestrian safety as a result of the Community Survey. These were key
indicated outcome in the City's Strategic Plan as adopted in June of 2014.To accommodate this request,the City
made increasing mobility through trolleys, local bus circulators, and enhancing safety of pedestrian and bike
lanes a priority. The Transportation Masterplan Project Bank and Policies includes the expansion of the City's
trolley system as well as funds for a Light Rail/Modern Streetcar project.There were additional funds to promote
a bicycle safety campaign to help reduce crashes in the community by including funding to paint bicycle lanes
green and create separation between vehicles and bicycles through protected bike lanes.The 2017-2021 Capital
Improvement Plan for Transportation included projects that were identified in Priority list 1 from the Project
Bank including 73rd Street protected bicycle lanes as well as West Avenue protected bicycle lanes. Enhancing
pedestrian safety and ensuring that transportation infrastructure is resilient and sustainable are key desires for
the City of Miami Beach to improve livability and to address sea level rise and other sustainability concerns.

EXCEPTIONAL SOLUTIONS"'
The CGA Team has been assembled in order to be able to serve the City of Miami Beach as transportation experts
who can address improvements to transportation infrastructure within constrained streets, implement projects
that prioritize all modes of transportation, provide green sustainable infrastructure design recommendations
and implement a public outreach program that includes all stakeholders. When CGA met recently with Miami
Beach staff in advance of the advertisement of this Contract,we took away some key questions that the City had
regarding some of the most important adaptive mode share initiatives.The following is an understanding of some
of these key items.
TRANSIT INFRASTRUCTURE
We understand that one of the goals of the Miami Beach Transportation Master Plan is to "Provide reliable,
convenient, and consistent transit service and infrastructure:' When we met with City staff there was a desire
to create a dedicated funding source for transit service in the City of Miami Beach. The following is our Team's
understanding of Transit Infrastructure in the City of Miami Beach and our approach to implementation of transit
projects under this Contract including preparation of a Comprehensive Operational Analysis/Transit Master Plan
for the City.
UNDERSTANDING TRANSIT IN THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH
The Miami Beach Trolley comprises 4 . W . F� a
trolley routes and connects to 13 regional "` -
bus routes operated by the Miami-Dade �"� ..;``I_t� 4s, ',,..`' z tat *'
c
County Department of Transportation and ;• tit -�` •}` x`s-'� �� ` ,V s t
Public Works (DTPW).The 4 trolley routes ;r' `,
include: ��'t _ II i _
• North Beach Loop ' �`_ ` —
• Collins Link —". ' .4111" '1. "14 i`
• Middle Beach Loop �, r• iiv. :` — — II ,t •/
• Alton-West Loop ..,-..--, ..V...' i
•
Significant emphasis is placed on the role of - �. -
transit in the Miami Beach Transportation "rr ... .• " - +.
Master Plan (completed in 2016). In
particular,the Mode Share 2035 Vision is to
increase the transit mode share from 12%to 20%.Of all the modes,transit is the#2 priority,behind only the#1
priority of pedestrians. Given that walking, is by far, the most common way to access transit, the priorities are
mutually supportive.
APPROACH TO TRANSIT
In addition to providing overall transit support to the City as needed,the CGA Team recommends a Comprehensive
Operational Analysis (COA)/Transit Master Plan for Miami Beach and has included Tindale Oliver as a key team
member to lead the transit planning and operations efforts for the City.A COA is an in-depth analysis of existing
bus routes that answers the following questions:
• Who are we serving with bus service?
• What is working and what isn't?
• What can we do to better serve the residents, workers, and visitors of Miami Beach within the existing
resources?
The COA/Transit Master Plan will serve to achieve the following objectives:
• Optimize trolley bus service efficiency and effectiveness by analyzing the existing trolley routes and
recommending operational enhancements.
• Optimize connections and transfers among the trolley bus routes and between the trolley bus routes and
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH RFI No.2017-12b-KI I GENERAL TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AND TRAFFIC ENGINEERING 161

EXCEPTIONAL SOLUTIONS'
regional bus routes serving Miami Beach.
• Identify service improvement opportunities for:
o Reallocating existing resources to more productive bus service
o Increasing ridership through route and service adjustments
Getting the"biggest bang for the buck" from the existing and near-term trolley bus system
A similar approach was recently taken by the City of Fort Lauderdale,culminating in the Transit Master Plan for
the Sun Trolley. This plan was led by Tindale Oliver with support from CGA. Our proposed approach to a COA/
Transit Master Plan is summarized below.

The approach includes four major tasks,including:
• Task 1: Develop Transit Master Plan
• Task 2: Develop 5-Year Financial Plan
• Task 3: Perform Transit Needs Assessment
• Task 4: Perform Operational Analysis and Route Assessment
Task 1: Develop Transit Master Plan

plan also will include a corresponding financial plan for the same timeframe that will project the overall system
costs and revenues resulting from a combination of recommended improvements with existing trolley bus
services.Similar guidance also will be provided for the longer-term vision portion of the plan,but less detail will
be feasible for costs and implementation roles.
Near-Term Route&Network Improvements
Based on the results of the data collection, field review,and various analyses,the project team will recommend
and provide operational guidance for improvements to existing routes at the individual level, as feasible. It is
expected that, once implemented, these recommendations will result in improved connectivity and timeliness
of service for current patrons not only at the route level, but also at the system level. The overall goal of the
suggested improvements stemming from this task will be to:
• Optimize route productivity and efficiency
• Set realistic running times
• Identify appropriate hubs and establish effective timed transfers (including connections with regional bus
routes)
• Enhance the consistency of overall system on-time performance
Many of the route-level recommendations that may
be proposed are envisioned to be more immediately f
feasible with regard to implementation phasing. That Y_. _ _
is, these service improvement recommendations will
be lower-cost (or cost-neutral) in nature and able to be : ,i:.
accommodated within the first one to two years of the I- r •
implementation process. These recommendations will ! • ,.

• Frequency-of-service adjustments
• Span-of-service adjustments
• Bus stop consolidation
• Vehicle fleet utilization maximization
• Route running time adjustments
In addition to suggestions for individual route improvements,the project team also may provide recommendations
related to network-level enhancements,as feasible.The primary intent of both the individual route and network-
level improvements will be to enhance overall transit service efficiency and effectiveness within current service
resources (to the extent feasible) for the benefit of existing patrons and the attraction of new riders.
Long-Range System Enhancement/Expansion Improvements(Vision)
Based on a latent demand analysis and any other existing service improvements identified in other tasks that
may be more realistically longer-term in nature,the project team will compile a system expansion"vision"for the
City of Miami Beach.The phased implementation plan will consider such future improvements as the following:
• Improved system frequencies
c Increased system spans of service
• Enhanced infrastructure and facilities
• Technology implementation
• New routes and/or services
• Improved regional connectivity
• Enhanced rider information and tools
All of the results of this task, along with selected key components of other tasks, will be documented in a final
Transit Master Plan for the City.The plan will summarize all near-term and vision recommendations in a logical
and phased implementation framework that will include the following key elements:
o Guidance for operational considerations related to new and/or modified transit service(s)
• "Next steps"and key agency roles to carry out the plan over the implementation period
• Final financial plan from Task 2 with overall system costs and revenues resulting from combining
recommended improvements with existing transit services
• Guidance on potential funding sources beyond current revenue options to help fund new and/or unfunded
transit services proposed in the plan
Task 2: Develop Five Year Financial Plan
The CGA Team will prepare a five-year financial plan that is comprehensive and reflective of the capital and
operating needs of the City's trolley bus services. The plan will use the existing budget as a starting point,
including current revenue streams, and then will add recommended improvements resulting from the transit
needs analysis in Task 3 and the operational analysis process in Task 4.A Microsoft Excel-based financial planning
tool has been developed by Tindale Oliver to accommodate transit-specific service development planning over a
10-year period.This user-friendly tool will be modified to fit the City's needs.
The tool first will be used to develop cost projections, and the project team will work closely with City and
appropriate partner agency staff to ensure that initial unit costs and cost/revenue projections are consistent
with other local cost and budgeting efforts being conducted. Then, the financial planning tool will be used to
develop five-year financial plan tables that include operating expenses and revenues as well as capital expenses
and funding. Funding could be from farebox revenue, grant funds, local match funds, or private sector sources.
Non-traditional revenue sources such as advertising revenue also may be evaluated to the extent that staff foresee
their use.The capital and operating costs in the plan will be differentiated as either ongoing costs for the current
system or costs associated with a potentially-expanded "vision" system resulting from the recommendations
from other analyses.

If current revenue streams are insufficient to cover all potential future service and other improvements, the
vision improvements that are, in essence, unfunded will be highlighted as enhancements that will be in need of
new funding resources.
To assist staff in addressing any potential shortfall in current transit funding to support the proposed five-year
vision, the project team also will identify and summarize potential sources of funds that could help make the
implementation and operation of recommended new/improved services and other system enhancements a
reality.To this end,the team first will consider current and past operating and capital funding sources to identify
which have been successful to date,especially at the local level.This also will help determine whether any current
or previous sources have been used to their fullest extent.
Next,other potential funding sources that are relevant to the City's transit services will be identified at the federal,
State,and local levels for possible consideration. Based on the range of potential funding sources identified, the
project team will identify and document potential advantages and disadvantages of each source to help trim
the list to a more logical subset of transit funding alternatives to consider for future needs as part of a specific
funding strategy.This subset of more realistic funding sources then will be reviewed and evaluated for benefits,
ease of implementation,documented success,and potential barriers to use,thereby providing staff with detailed
guidance on the most appropriate funding targets for the recommended future improvements, regardless of
whether they are local,State,or federal in nature.
In addition to the development of a technical report to summarize the results of this task and document the
proposed five-year financial plan for the City, an electronic version of the financial planning tool, which will
include all financial plan assumptions,projections,and summary tables,will be made available to staff for future
use.
Task 3:Perform Transit Needs Analysis
It will be critical to conduct a market analysis of the City's current transit services to determine whether there are
unmet needs.Such needs could take the form of existing service areas that are underserved (whether in terms of
frequency,coverage,and/or time span) to areas that are unserved but have latent transit demand.

A latent demand analysis is proposed to assist with this identification process; it also will serve to supplement
the data collection and analyses performed in this task and subsequently in Task 4.The identification of unserved

Task 4: Perform Operational Analysis and Route Assessment
The premise of the operational analysis process is,at its core,very simple to conceive:collect appropriate transit
data, review and assess the operations of the system both in terms of metrics and observational performance,
and then develop near-term recommendations that can help improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the
existing transit service.However,in actual practice,the process is very detailed and rigorous in its data collection
and analytical components,as well as nuanced in its
preparation of suggested improvements (one size •

Some of the key data collection and/or analysis -. _
activities anticipated to occur as part of this task
include the following: –
• Collect available operations, capital, and

• Use automated passenger counter (APC) data or ride check data to complete analysis of bus stop-level
passenger activity.
• Review existing transit planning documents and market data collected in Task 3.
• Perform field reviews of all bus routes.
• Hold informal interviews with bus operators to gain insights on service issues/needs.
• Complete line-by-line, route-level assessments of productivity and effectiveness, including reviews of on-

• Review system connectivity and assess potential gaps in service,especially to essential uses.
• Assess off-peak and evening service.
• Assess bus stop sign and shelter needs.
• Assess potential ADA compliance issues related to bus stops.
• Assess potential Title VI issues,as applicable.
All information reviewed, data collected, and analyses conducted as part of this task and Task 3 then will be
used to determine feasible alternatives for enhancing existing services, introducing new services, and/or
improving coordination (or even addressing duplication of service) with the transit services being provided
by Miami-Dade DTPW. Based on a review of the potential alternatives with City staff and key stakeholders,
specific recommendations then will be developed to address issues and enhance services in the near-term.The
prioritization of the improvements will be based on consideration of such important factors as cost,accessibility,
connectivity,and customer satisfaction,among others.
A summary of the operational analysis and its results will be prepared.The related technical memorandum will
include all related tables, maps,and graphics and will present the final recommendations for near-term service

UNDERSTANDING COMPLETE STREETS IN THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH
There is an understanding based on conversations with City staff that there is an initiative to implement the
project outlined in the project bank from the Transportation Master Plan.There are a number of projects that
are within constrained streets that server all modes of transportation but within limited rights of way.The CGA
Team has firms who specialize in feasibility studies and design of complete streets within constrained right of
ways including Toole Design Group. When reviewing the project bank in the Transportation Master Plan and
the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan,we wanted to evaluate a couple of the project corridors and discuss our
implementation plan from feasibility to design.

j The first project is the West Avenue Project Bicycle Lanes which
is Project number 3 in the Priority One list of projects in the
I . •• 'i Transportation Master Plan.This north south corridor has a mode

The proposed protected bicycle facility will need to allow for ease of connectivity but not cause new design issues
with the existing transit infrastructure and pedestrian infrastructure.There is an existing transit stop on the west
side of West Avenue for the Miami Beach Alton West Trolley.There also is an existing pedestrian crossing of West
Avenue located near 9th Street.This mid-block crossing will need to be incorporated into the feasibility design
for West Avenue.There are specific design elements called out as part of the Street Design Guidelines including
Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFB's) and/or Embedded amber LED strobe lights.As you can see in the
provided conceptual design, the protected bicycle facility on the east side still can accommodate the frontage
zone which acts as an extension of the sidewalk cafes and other commercial uses.
The second project that we evaluated is the Alton Road project between Chase Road and Michigan Avenue.
FDOT is planning on reconstructing Alton Road and provides an opportunity to improve bicycle access on one
of the main north/south corridors in the City of Miami Beach.The Street Design Guidelines recommend an off
street or protected on-street facility based on the speed and volume characteristics.The recommendation was a
shared use path to run along the existing Miami Beach Golf Club.There currently is a bike lane going north and a
sharrow going south along this corridor.The placement of the shared use path on the east side of Alton Road is
beneficial as there are fewer conflict points along the golf course frontage except for near the Clubhouse where
the transitions will need to occur.
In both of these examples, the bicycle facilities were prioritized to be protected and to enhance safety of the
users. The street designs need to align with the overall mode share hierarchy approved by the City of Miami
Beach.This includes making sure that the multimodal transportation facility is comfortable and safe for all users
including elderly,children and mobility impaired users.

The CGA Team with Toole Design Group as key partner and technical experts will approach the Complete Streets,
Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning,Smart Growth and Livable Cities initiatives with the following key themes:
• Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning should be bold, but also realistic. The feasibility of Complete Streets
projects must be imaginative and provide a clear and coherent vision. It is important that these projects
particularly ones within constrained streets are implementable and have consensus built with the key
stakeholders throughout the community.The CGA Team will work with the City and all local stakeholders to
ensure the local needs are met.
• Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning should maximize contribution from stakeholders and residents.The
City of Miami Beach in general are fortunate to have growing institutional and citizen support for pedestrian
and bicycle improvements.The CGA Team has extensive experience coordinating among diverse stakeholders,
providing multiple avenues for input (i.e. from traditional public meetings to interactive websites to Open
Streets events),and reaching out to individuals and groups not traditionally included in bicycle and pedestrian
planning efforts.
• Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning should be integrated -4 r
' +
and balanced. From the perspective of someone walking or - ' .
biking, whether in North Beach, Middle Beach or South Beach, --
continuous routes are essential. Similarly, the bicycle and
pedestrian network is not independent and must be designed in
the context of a multimodal transportation system and the built - - 7
environment.The system should accommodate users of all skill --
t. 'It
levels, from children to daily bike commuters and recreational -
runners to seniors and wheelchair users. • -
• Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning should address both the -
mutual and exclusive needs of pedestrians and bicyclists. - -
While facilities, such as Greenways, Paths and Trails, benefit -
both pedestrians and bicyclists, these modes have different
concerns, particularly when it comes to roadway crossings
and accessibility. Proposed Complete Streets feasibility study . ,.v,. ..,, i
recommendations should consider the different needs and �I _
_
factors affecting pedestrian and bicycle demand, safety and
1:,
convenience. This plan must accommodate the needs of local
residents that use the bicycle as a way of life and visiting tourists
that use one as a way of discovery.
• Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning must be detailed.Many bicycle and pedestrian planning efforts identify
lines on a map but do not identify solutions that can be implemented in specific locations. The Complete
Street feasibility studies whether it is for a Neighborhood Greenway or an on street protected bike lane will
consider and provide a level of detail that will allow quick and effective implementation.To ensure network
connectivity and program coordination, the plan development process and recommendations will speak
to all of the agencies and stakeholders responsible for building, promoting and maintaining the system. In
developing recommendations,the feasibility study will draw upon solutions that have been used successfully
by other towns and cities that are bicycle and pedestrian-friendly, particularly those coastal communities
that have vast waterfront property and high tourist visitation.

Although great neighborhoods exist within the City, not all modes of transportation are connected to each
neighborhood.Pedestrian connectivity is very good but the City currently lacks a cohesive bicycle network.With
better connectivity for pedestrians, bicyclists and transit individual automobile use would decrease. The CGA
Team believes that this should be a focus of future urban planning and design.
An added benefit of CGA to the City is given our multi-discipline approach, we will combine creative planning

ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The CGA Team includes Lambert Advisory as a subconsultant and technical expert in Market and Development
Analysis,Financial and Feasibility Study,Funding Source Identification and Project Budgeting/Project Expenditure
Forecasting.The following is the CGA Team's and Lambert Advisory approach to these key service;
• Market&Development Analysis:Though often viewed as a catch-all phrase,there are distinct components
of market and development analyses that separate one development type, or one development node, from
another. It requires an in-depth look at the economic drivers,and this is not simply population growth trends
or employment trends - it's searching deeper into the dynamics in population growth, employment, and
industry clusters. Moreover,a key to the economic and market analysis is a thoughtful and comprehensive
approach to determining demand during both the short and long term. Lambert Advisory has completed
comprehensive market and development analysis to both the public and private sector which ranges from a
single asset,to planned communities,to Transit Oriented Development(TOD). We have provided these studies
to more than 20 municipalities and/or economic development agencies in Miami Dade County alone,but our
reach is national (and international) with experience in areas including but not limited to: Ft. Lauderdale;
West Palm Beach;Tampa; Orlando;Jacksonville; New Orleans, LA; New York City, NY; Pawtucket,RI; Boston,
MA; Columbus,GA; Corpus Christi,TX; San Diego, CA; Los Angeles,CA; San Francisco,CA; Honolulu, HI;and,
numerous others locations throughout the US.
• Financial Feasibility Study: The viability of proposed redevelopment is borne from the economic and
market findings. However,the key in this process is to be able to quickly evaluate alternative scenarios that
render maximum value for a particular development program. It will also serve to ensure that the process for
conceptualizing a prospective development program and associated renderings is streamlined and efficient.
As it relates to the City of Miami Beach's transportation initiatives,financial feasibility will play a vital role in
project development and,in particular, potential public/private partnerships. It will also help to establish a
baseline for determining the optimal development structure related to the city's participation and potential
joint development opportunities. In addition to our market and financial experience with governmental
agencies,we have provided these services to major private sector institutions including, but not limited to:
Swire Properties; LendLease; Royal Caribbean Cruise; Kimco Realty; Queen Emma Foundation (non-profit);
and,Samsung.
• Funding Source Identification: In certain situations, there may be dedicated funding set aside and/or
previously sourced for redevelopment initiatives. However,there may likely be instances where new funding
will need to be identified to effectuate the development plan. Lambert will assist in identifying potential
leveraging (debt) and partnership participation structuring (i.e. land sale, ground lease, joint development
initiative)which may be from conventional funding sources,grants,and/or incentives.Since 2010, Lambert
has taken the lead and/or provided the strategic guidance in the successful award of collectively more than
$60 million in TIGER grants, Choice Neighborhood Initiative (CNI) grants, and Neighborhood Stabilization
Program (NSP)grants.
• Project Budgeting/Project Expenditure Forecasting: The basis for preparing effective financial analysis
is the process of project budgeting and operating forecasts (not related to construction estimating). For
more than 17 years, Lambert has accumulated operating budgets for nearly all types of real estate uses,and
purchased subscriptions/data to some of the most recognized real estate industry resources including but
not limited to: Urban Land Institute (ULI); National Association of Industrial and Office Properties (NAIOP);
and,American Resort Developers Association (ARDA).

SUSTAINABILITY AND GREEN TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE
The City of Miami Beach must build a sustainable and resilient infrastructure. A sustainable and resilient
infrastructure means smart investments in the community infrastructure for long-term economic and
environmental viability and quality of life.Smart investments include maintaining and updating road and bridge
infrastructure, water and wastewater system and drainage system infrastructure that plans for sea level rise
projections.Smart investments also include awareness,planning,and efficiency to safeguard the long-term water
supply.A sustainable and resilient infrastructure also includes reducing energy use,sustainable construction and
design and choosing recycling and reduction over disposal. This all should be done keeping in mind protecting
fundamental environmental resources: air,water,and natural resources that sustain the community.

project approach. The next part of ensuring implementation of these goals is to design the street elements for
these transportation projects with sustainable green infrastructure.The City has already taken steps to do this
through recent Capital Improvement projects such as installing new pump stations along the west side of South
Beach, in Sunset Harbour, the Sunset and Venetian islands,and South Pointe, raising streets along West Avenue,
20th Street,Tenth Street,Sixth Street,and all of Sunset Harbour.In addition,there are additional flood prevention
projects being implemented from the capital improvement project list in
the Middle Beach area. - 114i.%; _ ...Al' •-t• `Y_-'

✓ Safe and Enjoyable Through Alternatives Street Designs- Traffic Calming Designs, Walking and Biking
Enhanced Environments
The EPA Green Streets Strategy and Next Steps Memorandum identified the following key issues, needs and
opportunities for the City of Fort Lauderdale:
✓ Larger Stormwater Regulatory Framework
✓ Relationship to other Policy Areas: benefits of Green Streets beyond Stormwater
✓ Design and Construction Implementation Policies and Practice-Sustainable Streets Standards
✓ Operations,Maintenance and Monitoring Policies and Practice
✓ Local Built Examples of Green Streets Elements
There were opportunities discussed to piggyback future planned projects for inclusion of Green Street Sustainable
infrastructure including the SR AlA reconstruction project, Complete Streets projects including Dixie Highway,
NW 9th Avenue, NE 13th Street as well as potential opportunities on planned Transit projects such as the Wave
Streetcar and All Aboard Florida Station (Brightline) which a number of these projects have been constructed.
This process is one that is recommended for the City of Miami Beach in the future.This EPA program includes
not only the Creating a Green Streets strategy but also Bikeshare Planning, Complete Streets and Smart Growth
Guidelines for Sustainable Design and Development.The City of Miami was selected in 2016-2017 for the Creating
Equitable Development tool. These tools offered by this program could be useful in the existing Sustainability
Plan for funding for the Atlantic Greenway Network and the Design and Construction of the North and South
Beach Intermodal Center.

PUBLIC OUTREACH AND ENGAGEMENT
The CGA Team recognizes that community participation is a critical component of the Transportation Planning
and Traffic Engineering process. Providing the opportunity for public input encourages citizens to be invested
in the future of their community and helps ensure that the implementation of the priority projects from the
Transportation Master Plan encompasses all aspects of the intended design concepts.
Our team will develop a tailored Public Engagement Plan(PEP)describing how community members,individuals
and stakeholders will be engaged throughout the task work orders issued under this Contract.The PEP serves
as a guide for community involvement and is subject to change as opportunities for additional community
participation arises on specific task work orders.
The CGA Team includes Roar Media, Inc. who specializes in public outreach and engagement. The Goals and
objectives of the public engagement process are:
• Engage City of Miami Beach's dynamic and diverse population in Alternative Modes of Transportation and
Green Infrastructure;
• Generate feedback from community members that can be used to incorporate into the design and
implementation of the Transportation Master Plan priority projects;
• Identify key project participants and groups to be engaged as part of the process;
• Establish the framework for public outreach to occur throughout the Transportation Planning and Traffic
Engineering process for task work order assignments;
• Integrate early outreach to stakeholders to serve as the foundation for public engagement;
• Identify preliminary issues and opportunities within each community for each Transportation Master Plan
priority projects;
• Identify appropriate levels and methods of public engagement.
The public participation process will be one where shared
community values and aspirations are clearly articulated as the
basis for building consensus around the goals and objectives of the
City of Miami Beach as it relates to the Mode Share Hierarchy. -
The CGA Team understands that a meaningful, robust community Et r
engagement process is essential in building trust, excitement,
and support among civic leaders and residents, and to turn - —
..... - F71/.....4Zit
ideas generated during the planning process into successfully _ "'t
implemented results that impact the community for the better.
We know that community engagement can get messy when
participants engage with polarized opinions and countering agendas-and this is OK.With the growing diversity
of stakeholders that the planning process must reach, divergent opinions on key issues are inevitable and this
should be welcome in a dialog that can only take place in a transparent planning process.
CGA works hard to get to know the communities that we work in, -
build trust and create an engaging and dynamic public participation
process that respect resident's time, is informative and allows
everyone to have a voice. Because equitable participation is an 1. w
important component of public involvement activities in every TIL: ' 'ry-- j a.
project, outreach strategies to engage those constituents who tend 4
to be underrepresented in the planning process will be emphasized, ,
including various ethnic groups, the elderly, and the young. CGA L, re,----`�
does not subscribe to the notion that "the community meeting is
dead'; or that reliance on high-tech tools is the solution to poor -

public participation.What we believe is that inadequate participation in the community engagement process can
be circumvented by a community engagement plan that is crafted uniquely for the project and community. To
truly engage the community,all participation activities must be fun,locally relevant and conducted"on their turf:'
The CGA Team believes in the power of partnerships to help carry out a public outreach and engagement strategy.
CGA likes to collaborate with the City to identify a list of local influencers (individuals and organizations) who
may be enlisted as process partners. It is important to reach out to these potential partners early in the process.
Involving the private sector (corporate, non-profit, philanthropy, etc.) has several advantages. These partners
can provide organizational support as well as in-kind services and (occasionally) financial support,but they are
critical in augmenting levels of citizen participation and identifying issues on the ground.
The CGA Team understands that the Transportation Master Plan priority projects must respond to existing
conditions as well as the needs of those that live,work,attend school and recreate in the City of Miami Beach.To
accomplish this,the CGA Team will use a robust,innovative and accessible public engagement plan with the goal
of building consensus around two broad areas:what the project should achieve (its vision and goals)and how to
achieve the vision and goals(built around the 5 Es approach).The public engagement and needs assessment plan
and implementation will be developed within the first 30 days after receiving the notice to proceed for a relevant
task work order; however,we have developed an approach to this plan that is built around a set of tactics and a
four-step approach that is both linear and iterative.
The tactics we expect to use for public engagement - 41 /P
are multi-purpose,i.e.,we expect to use each tactic .
throughout the plan development process for 'sij
:
each task work order.Anticipated tactics include: — i ,,—.fit

• Video recording _t

• Existing Miami Beach events

• Free-form public input,such as boards for capturing ideas.
The PEP needs to ensure that the following key results occur:
✓ Create the Buzz- Using a series of visible events,advertising,social media and community meeting
✓ Inspire the Vision-Plan,create opportunities to contribute,regardless of their age,ability,income or where
they sit relative to the digital divide
✓ Focus on Task-Work through what is needed to reach the projects vision,starting with goals and strategies,
then moving on to specific programs,design guidelines and measures.
✓ Capture the ultimate Implementation- Includes public events such as open streets events and pop-ups,
topical discussions such as bike share and bike parking,and pedestrian hot spot locations

The CGA Team understands that a schedule is intended not only for the consultant, but also for the City to
coordinate their resources for reviewing submittals and for reporting to other City staff and Departments.The
CGA Team values the importance of meeting milestone dates, review dates,and final submittal dates. A sample
version of a project delivery timeline has been provided for a possible safety improvement design project. It
depicts the normal steps taken in execution of a task work order assignment.This scheduling timeline illustrates
the CGA Team's methodology on effectively managing and executing scope of work in optimum time. The Project
Manager will be responsible for assigning tasks to the various departments within CGA and also to any applicable
sub-consultants.Once the City provides the problem statement to the CGA Team, CGA will ensure that our team
