Whenever others are required to verify, review, or consider any Services performed by Consultant (including, without limitation, Consultants, 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 relating to 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's Project Manager (as well as any replacement) shall be subject to the prior written approval of the City Manager or the Project Administrator.

C2374BAC-86B1-4905-8A11-A6D39EOE4B50 Contract No.23-030-04 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 for a particular Project. If, during the course of performing work, services and/or tasks on a particular Consultant Service Order, Consultant determines that work and/or services should be performed (to complete the Project delineated under such Order) 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 CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS AND/OR EXCUSE ANY BREACH BY CONSULTANT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. THE PARTICIPATION IN THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OF CONSULTANT'S 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 CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS. INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ASSISTING WITH OBTAINING PERMITS OR WITH COORDINATION WITH UTILITIES, OR OTHER MATTERS 11 DocuSign Envelope ID: C2374BAC-86B1-4905-8A11-A6D39EOE4B50 Contract No.23-030-04 RELATED TO THE PROJECT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THIS SECTION AND/OR ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHER CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, THIS SECTION SHALL GOVERN. 2.18 GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS: If applicable, the Consultant shall comply with the requirements of Section 255.2575, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 100 of the City Code, as both may be amended from time to time, addressing applicable Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) compliance requirements. 2.19 SUBCONSULTANTS: All services provided by subconsultants shall be consistent with those commitments made by the Consultant in its Proposal and during the competitive solicitation selection process and interview. Such services shall be undertaken and performed pursuant to appropriate written agreements between the Consultant and the subconsultants, which shall contain provisions that preserve and protect the rights of the City under this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create any contractual relationship between the City and the subconsultants. The Consultant shall not retain, add, or replace any subconsultant without the prior written approval of the City Manager, in response to a written request from the Consultant stating the reasons for any proposed substitution. The Consultant shall cause the names of subconsultants responsible for significant portions of the Services to be inserted on the plans and specifications. The Consultant shall be ultimately responsible for ensuring the Consultant's and all of its subconsultants' compliance with the requirements of this Section and any other provision of the Agreement and/or Consultant Service Order. With respect to the performance of work by subconsultants, the Consultant shall, in approving and accepting such work, ensure the professional quality, completeness, and coordination of the subconsultant's work. The Consultant shall, upon the request of the City, submit to the City such documentation and 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 Consultant's 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 3.1 The City Manager shall designate a Project Administrator, who shall be the City's authorized representative to act on City's behalf with respect to the City's responsibilities or matters requiring City's approval under the Contract Documents.

The Project 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 noncompliance, or to specifically direct or require compliance, shall in no way constitute a waiver of, or excuse, the Consultant's obligation to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents. 3.2 The City shall make available to Consultant, for the convenience of the Consultant only, information that the City has in its possession pertinent to the Project. Consultant hereby agrees and acknowledges that, in making any such information available to Consultant, the City makes no express or implied certification, warranty, and/or representation as to the accuracy or completeness of such information and assumes no responsibility whatsoever with respect to, the sufficiency, completeness or accuracy of such information.

Consultant's failure to terminate a subconsultant shall be an event of default under this Agreement, entitling City to terminate the Consultant's contract for cause. 18.5.3.2.3 A contract terminated under the foregoing Subsection 18.5.3.2.1 or 18.5.3.2.2 is not in breach of contract and may not be considered as such. 18.5.3.2.4 The City or Consultant or a subconsultant may file an action with the Circuit or County Court to challenge a termination under the foregoing Subsection 18.5.3.2.1 or 18.5.3.2.2 no later than 20 calendar days after the date on which the contract was terminated. 18.5.3.2.5 If the City terminates the Agreement with Consultant under the foregoing Subsection 18.5.3.2.1 Consultant may not be awarded a public contract for at least 1 year after the date of termination of this Agreement. 18.5.3.2.6 Consultant is liable for any additional costs incurred by the City as a result of the termination of this Agreement under this Section 1 8.5.3. 18.6 FORCE MAJEURE: 18.6.1 A "Force Majeure" event is an event that (i) in fact causes a delay in the performance of the Consultant or the City's obligations under the Agreement, and (ii) is beyond the reasonable control of such party unable to perform the obligation, and (iii) is not due to an intentional act, error, omission, or negligence of such party, and (iv) could not have reasonably been foreseen and prepared for by such party at any time prior to the occurrence of the event. Subject to the foregoing criteria, Force Majeure may include events such as war, civil insurrection, riot, fires, epidemics, pandemics, terrorism, sabotage, explosions, embargo restrictions, quarantine restrictions, transportation accidents, strikes, strong hurricanes or tornadoes, earthquakes, or other acts of God which prevent performance. Force Majeure shall not include technological impossibility, 29 DocuSign Envelope ID: C2374BAC-86B1-4905-8Al l-A6D39EOE4B50 Contract No.23-030-04 inclement weather, or failure to secure any of the required permits pursuant to the Agreement. 18.6.2 If the City or Consultant's performance of its contractual obligations is prevented or delayed by an event believed by to be Force Majeure, such party shall immediately upon learning of the occurrence of the event or of the commencement of any such delay, but in no case within fifteen (15) business days thereof, provide notice of (i) of the occurrence of event of Force Majeure, (ii) of the nature of the event and the cause thereof, (iii) of the anticipated impact on the Agreement, (iv) of the anticipated period of the delay, and (v) of what course of action such party plans to take in order to mitigate the detrimental effects of the event. The timely delivery of the notice of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event is a condition precedent to allowance of any relief pursuant to this section; however, receipt of such notice shall not constitute acceptance that the event claimed to be a Force Majeure event is in fact Force Majeure, and the burden of proof of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event shall be on the requesting party. 18.6.3 No party hereto shall be liable for its failure to carry out its obligations under the Agreement during a period when such party is rendered unable, in whole or in part, by Force Majeure to carry out such obligations. The suspension of any of the obligations under this Agreement due to a Force Majeure event shall be of no greater scope and no longer duration than is required. The party shall use its reasonable best efforts to continue to perform its obligations hereunder to the extent such obligations are not affected or are only partially affected by the Force Majeure event, and to correct or cure the event or condition excusing performance and otherwise to remedy its inability to perform to the extent its inability to perform is the direct result of the Force Majeure event with all reasonable dispatch. 18.6.4 Obligations pursuant to the Agreement that arose before the occurrence of a Force Majeure event causing the suspension of performance shall not be excused as a result of such occurrence unless such occurrence makes such performance not reasonably possible. The obligation to pay money in a timely manner for obligations and liabilities which matured prior to the occurrence of a Force Majeure event shall not be subject to the Force Majeure provisions. 18.6.5 Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, in the event of a Force Majeure occurrence, the City may, at the sole discretion of the City Manager, suspend the City's payment obligations under the Agreement, and may take such action without regard to the notice requirements herein.

If the Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, Consultant shall be paid for any Services satisfactorily performed up to the date of termination; following which the City shall be discharged from any and all liabilities, duties, and terms arising out of, or by virtue of, this Agreement. In no event will any condition of Force Majeure extend this Agreement beyond its stated term. Any time extension shall be subject to mutual agreement and shall not be cause for any claim by the Consultant for extra compensation, unless Additional Services are required and approved pursuant to Article 5 hereof. 30 DocuSign Envelope ID: C2374BAC-86B1-4905-8A11-A6D39EOE4B50 Contract No.23-030-04 18.7 CORRECTIONS TO CONTRACT DOCUMENTS: If applicable to the performance of Consultant's Services, the Consultant shall prepare, without added compensation, all necessary supplemental documents to correct errors, omissions, and/or ambiguities which may exist in the Contract Documents prepared by Consultant, including documents prepared by its subconsultants.

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.

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 CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS AND/OR EXCUSE ANY BREACH BY CONSULTANT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. THE PARTICIPATION IN THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OF CONSULTANT'S 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 CONSULTANT'S OBLIGATIONS. INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ASSISTING WITH OBTAINING PERMITS OR WITH COORDINATION WITH UTILITIES, OR OTHER MATTERS RELATED TO THE PROJECT. IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THIS SECTION AND/OR ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHER CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, THIS SECTION SHALL GOVERN. 2.18 GREEN BUILDING STANDARDS: If applicable, the Consultant shall comply with the requirements of Section 255.2575, Florida Statutes, and Chapter 100 of the City Code, as both may be amended from time to time, addressing applicable Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) compliance requirements. 12 2.19 SUBCONSULTANTS: All services provided by subconsultants shall be consistent with those commitments made by the Consultant in its Proposal and during the competitive solicitation selection process and interview. Such services shall be undertaken and performed pursuant to appropriate written agreements between the Consultant and the subconsultants, which shall contain provisions that preserve and protect the rights of the City under this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create any contractual relationship between the City and the subconsultants. The Consultant shall not retain, add, or replace any subconsultant without the prior written approval of the City Manager, in response to a written request from the Consultant stating the reasons for any proposed substitution. The Consultant shall cause the names of subconsultants responsible for significant portions of the Services to be inserted on the plans and specifications. The Consultant shall be ultimately responsible for ensuring the Consultant's and all of its subconsultants' compliance with the requirements of this Section and any other provision of the Agreement and/or Consultant Service Order. With respect to the performance of work by subconsultants, the Consultant shall, in approving and accepting such work, ensure the professional quality, completeness, and coordination of the subconsultant's work. The Consultant shall, upon the request of the City, submit to the City such documentation and 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 Consultant's 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 3.1 The City Manager shall designate a Project Administrator, who shall be the City's authorized representative to act on City's behalf with respect to the City's responsibilities or matters requiring City's approval under the Contract Documents. The Project Administrator shall be authorized (without limitation) to transmit instructions, receive information, and interpret and define City policies and decisions with respect to the Services and the Project. The Project 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 noncompliance, or to specifically direct or require compliance, shall in no way constitute a waiver of, or excuse, the Consultant's obligation to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents. 3.2 The City shall make available to Consultant, for the convenience of the Consultant only, 13 information that the City has in its possession pertinent to the Project. Consultant hereby agrees and acknowledges that, in making any such information available to Consultant, the City makes no express or implied certification, warranty, and/or representation as to the accuracy or completeness of such information and assumes no responsibility whatsoever with respect to, the sufficiency, completeness or accuracy of such information. The Consultant understands, and hereby agrees and acknowledges, that it is obligated to verify to the extent it deems necessary all information furnished by the City, and that it is solely responsible for the accuracy and applicability of all such information used by Consultant. Such verification shall include, without limitation, visual examination of existing conditions in all locations encompassed by the Project, where such examination can be made without using destructive measures (i.e. excavation or demolition). Survey information shall be spot checked to the extent that Consultant has satisfied itself as to the reliability of the information. 3.3 At any time, in his/her sole discretion, the City Manager may furnish accounting, and insurance counseling services for the Project (including, without limitation, auditing services to verify the Consultant's applications for payment, or to ascertain that Consultant has properly remitted payment due to its subconsultants or vendors). 3.4 If the City observes or otherwise becomes aware of any fault or defect in the Project, or non-conformance with the Contract Documents, the City, through the Project Administrator, shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Consultant. 3.5 The City, acting in its proprietary capacity as Owner and not in its regulatory capacity, shall render any administrative approvals and decisions required under this Agreement, in writing, as reasonably expeditious for the orderly progress of the Services and of the Work. 3.6 The City Commission shall be the final authority to do or to approve the following actions or conduct, by passage of an enabling resolution or amendment to this Agreement: 3.6.1 The City Commission shall be the body to consider, comment upon, or approve any assignment, sale, transfer or subletting of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 4. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CONSTRUCTION COST 4.1 The City shall establish a Construction Cost Budget for the Project, as set forth in the Consultant Service Order. Consultant shall design the Project so that the Construction Cost Budget for the Project is not exceeded. As part of the Basic Services, Consultant shall design and/or re -design the Project to the Construction Cost Budget in accordance with this Article 4, making all revisions necessary to maintain the Construction Cost Budget. Consultant shall attend meetings with the City to review and discuss cost estimates, cost -saving alternatives, and implementation or revision of the Design Documents and Construction Documents to address such items, as necessary to meet the established budget parameters set forth in the City Construction Budget. 4.2. Consultant shall provide and/or update the Statement of Probable Construction Cost at each stage of completion of the Design Documents and at completion of the Construction Documents, unless otherwise specified in a written directive of the Project Administrator. 4.2.1. At completion of the conceptual design (at such stage of completion of the Design Documents as may be specified by the Project Administrator), Consultant shall provide the City a Statement of Probable Construction Cost, which must include an estimated Construction Cost for the Project within a range of plus or minus fifteen percent (4-15%) of the Construction Cost Budget. If at the foregoing stage of design, the Consultant's Statement of Probable Construction Cost exceeds the City's Construction Budget by more than fifteen percent (15%), then the Project 15 Administrator shall provide notice thereof to the Consultant. Consultant shall then identify the cause(s) for the difference and recommend in writing for the City's approval any modification in the Design Documents necessary to conform to the Consultant's estimated total costs in the Statement of Probable Construction Cost to within fifteen percent (15%) of the City's Construction Budget. Upon obtaining City's approval of any proposed modifications, Consultant shall incorporate such modifications within the Design Documents as part of the Basic Services and at no additional cost to the City. 4.2.2. At the 30% and 60% completion of the Design Documents, Consultant shall update its Statement of Probable Construction Cost, which must include an estimated Construction Cost for the Project within a range of plus or minus ten percent (+/-10%) of the Construction Cost Budget. If at the foregoing stages of design, the Consultant's Statement of Probable Construction Cost exceeds the City's Construction Budget by more than ten percent (10%), the Project Administrator shall provide notice thereof to the Consultant. Consultant shall then identify the cause(s) for the difference and recommend in writing for the City's approval any modification in the Design Documents necessary to conform to the Consultant's estimated total costs in the Statement of Probable Construction Cost to within ten percent (10%) of the City's Construction Budget. Upon obtaining City's approval of any proposed modifications, Consultant shall incorporate such modifications within the Design Documents as part of the Basic Services and at no additional cost to the City. 4.2.3. At the 90% stage completion of the Design Documents and at completion of the Construction Documents, Consultant shall update its Statement of Probable Construction Cost, which must include an estimated Construction Cost for the Project within a range of plus or minus five percent (+/-5%) of the Construction Cost Budget.

Consultant shall then identify the cause(s) for the difference and recommend in writing for the City's approval any modification in the Design Documents necessary to conform to the Consultant's estimated total costs in the Statement of Probable Construction Cost to within five percent (5%) of the City's Construction Budget. Upon obtaining the City's approval, Consultant shall promptly modify the Design Documents or Construction Documents within the time period specified by the Project Administrator (which time period for completion shall not exceed ninety (90) days from the date Consultant is notified to re -design), as part of the Basic Services and at no additional cost to the City. 4.2.4. To ensure that the Construction Cost shall not exceed the City's Construction Budget, each Statement of Probable Construction Cost shall be in sufficient detail to identify the costs of each element and include a breakdown of the fees, general conditions and a reasonable and appropriate construction contingency. 4.3. Consultant shall certify and warrant to the City that the Statement of Probable Construction Cost and any update thereto, represents Consultant's best judgment of the Construction Cost for the Project as an experienced design professional familiar with the construction industry, provided, however, that Consultant cannot (and does not) guarantee that bids or negotiated prices will not vary from any estimates of Construction Cost or other cost evaluation(s) prepared (or otherwise provided) by Consultant. 4.4 If the lowest and best Base Bid exceeds the Consultant's final updated Statement of Probable Cost by more than ten percent (10%), the Project Administrator shall provide notice 16 thereof to the Consultant, and the Consultant shall re -design the Project within the Project Scope, construction schedule, sequence of Work, or such other action, as deemed necessary, to reduce the Statement of Probable Construction Cost, and Consultant shall provide any required revisions to the Contract Documents (including, without limitation, the Construction Documents) within the time period specified by the Project Administrator (which time period for completion shall not exceed ninety (90) days from the date Consultant is notified to re -design), and shall provide re- bidding services, as many times as may be reasonably requested by the City, as part of the Basic Services and at no additional cost to the City, in order to bring any resulting, responsive and responsible bids within ten percent (10%) of the Consultant's final updated Statement of Probable Cost. 4.5. The Construction Cost Budget shall not be exceeded without fully justifiable, extraordinary, and unforeseen circumstances (such as Force Majeure) which are beyond the control of the parties. Any expenditure above this amount shall be subject to prior City Commission approval which, if granted at all, shall be at the sole and reasonable discretion of the City Commission. The City Commission shall have no obligation to approve an increase in the Construction Cost Budget and, if such Construction Cost Budget is exceeded, the City Commission may, at its sole and absolute discretion, terminate this Agreement (and the remaining Services) without any further liability to the City. 4.6. The City Commission may, at its sole and absolute discretion, and without relieving Consultant of its obligations under this Agreement to design the Project to the Construction Cost Budget as set forth in Sections 4.1 through 4.5 above, separately elect any of the following options: (1) approve an increase to the Construction Cost Budget; (2) reject all bids, and (at its option) authorize rebidding of the Project; (3) abandon the Project and terminate the remaining Services without any further liability to the City; (4) select as many deductive alternatives as may be necessary to bring the lowest and best bid within the Construction Cost Budget.

Subject to the foregoing criteria, Force Majeure may include events such as war, civil insurrection, riot, fires, epidemics, pandemics, terrorism, sabotage, explosions, embargo restrictions, quarantine restrictions, transportation accidents, strikes, strong hurricanes or tornadoes, earthquakes, or other acts of God which prevent performance.

The party shall use its reasonable best efforts to continue to perform its obligations hereunder to the extent such obligations are not affected or are only partially affected by the Force Majeure event, and to correct or cure the event or condition excusing performance and otherwise to remedy its inability to perform to the extent its inability to perform is the direct result of the Force Majeure event with all reasonable dispatch. 18.6.4 Obligations pursuant to the Agreement that arose before the occurrence of a Force Majeure event causing the suspension of performance shall not be excused as a result of such occurrence unless such occurrence makes such performance not reasonably possible. The obligation to pay money in a timely manner for obligations and liabilities which matured prior to the occurrence of a Force Majeure event shall not be subject to the Force Majeure provisions. 18.6.5 Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, in the event of a Force Majeure occurrence, the City may, at the sole discretion of the City Manager, suspend the City's payment obligations under the Agreement, and may take such action without regard to the notice requirements herein.

In no event will any condition of Force Majeure extend this Agreement beyond its stated term. Any time extension shall be subject to mutual agreement and shall not be cause for any claim by the Consultant for extra compensation, unless Additional Services are required and approved pursuant to Article 5 hereof. 18.7 CORRECTIONS TO CONTRACT DOCUMENTS: If applicable to the performance of Consultant's Services, the Consultant shall prepare, without added compensation, all necessary supplemental documents to correct errors, omissions, and/or ambiguities which may exist in the Contract Documents prepared by Consultant, including documents prepared by its subconsultants.

Indeed, our firm was founded in Miami Beach, and our staff and principals have existing relationships with the community, city staff, and elected officials that have taken almost two decades to foster. We have an encyclopedic of knowledge of the city's planning documents, having authored several of them, and have an understanding of how to take projects from initial concept, to completion that is unmatched by any other local firm. Just in the last ten years, we've completed more than 10 transportation planning and street design projects in the city. Our firm has formed part of an on -call team for the City of Miami Beach since 2012 and has been a pioneer in redesigning the city's street network in favor of sustainable transportation modes. Firm principals, Anthony Garcia and Mike Lydon, are leading thinkers and practitioners in the profession today, and integrate principles of Complete Streets and Smart Growth into the firm's output. In 2016, Garcia and Lydon created the Miami Beach Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan & Street Design Guidelines to help advance the city's new transportation priorities; and also led the transportation planning component of the North Beach Master Plan. Both master plans were adopted that same year. In addition to the projects we have led during that time, the city has also implemented over a dozen other projects that were based on concepts we identified in the bicycle pedestrian plan and street design guide, from the first protected bike lane on West Avenue in 2017, to the upcoming reconstruction of 72nd Street. To this day, Street Plans continues to work closely with the City of Miami Beach to further design and implement transportation projects to make streets safer and more convenient to cyclists and pedestrians. Our Senior Project Director and City of Miami Beach resident, Dana Wall, has worked closely with the city on multiple projects including the planning and implementation of Rue Vendome Plaza, which included the transformation of a parking lot into public space for the North Beach neighborhood. Wall also worked alongside the firm's Miami principal, Garcia, to create a materials toolkit for the installation of bus boarding platforms along Washington Avenue to facilitate the return of transit to the corridor during the COVID-19 pandemic. She is also the author of one of the firm's most recent research publications on Tactical Transit, serves on the board of Miami's active mobility advocacy organization Transit Alliance, and is a longtime resident of the Flamingo Park neighborhood. In the pages that follow we share a selection of projects from our experience in Miami Beach. MIAMI BEACH BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN Client: City of Miami Beach (FL) Reference: Jose Gonzalez, Transportation Director 305-673-7000 1 josegonzalez@miamibeachfl.gov Year: 2014-2016 Description: The City of Miami Beach hired Street Plans to retrofit its street network in favor of multimodal transportation. The effort resulted in a holistic and comprehensive redesign of the Miami Beach street network and new policies to help implement the city's transportation priorities. Street Plans built upon the city's previous mobility, bicycle, pedestrian, and traffic safety studies to introduce and advance a number of new street design and infrastructure types to better accommodate a wider variety of travelers. Street Plans also led the public involvement effort through numerous meetings and workshops. The Master Plan included over 40 Miles of new and improved bikeways, and an implementation strategy to improve bicycle access in the city incrementally. The strategy outlined recommendations for specific projects divided into three phases: Phase 1: projects that fill gaps within the existing network Phase 2: improvements that can be made to the existing bikeway network Phase 3: projects that require extensive changes, or greater political will and further study to pursue A centerpiece of this ambitious plan is the establishment of city-wide mode share goals, the first project to propose such specific goals in Miami - Dade County. Street Plans continues to work closely with the City of Miami Beach to further design and implement priority "quick build" projects, including the creation of a new pedestrian plaza at Rue Vendome and protected bike lanes along 72nd Street in the city's North Beach neighborhood. The master plan was implementation -focused and has guided the City of Miami Beach on the implementation of projects such as the West Ave protected bike lane (above).

I MIAMI BEACH STREET DESIGN GUIDE Client: City of Miami Beach (FL) Reference: Jose Gonzalez, Transportation Director 305-673-7000 1 josegonzalez@miamibeachfl.gov Year: 2015-2016 Description: Street Plans was engaged by the City of Miami Beach to create a Street Design Guide based on the recommendation provided in the Miami Beach Bike/Walk Master Plan. The Street Design Guide was crafted as a part of a three year planning effort that included community meetings, a field survey of existing conditions, and a detailed analysis of all neighborhoods within Miami Beach. It serves to illustrate the possibilities and outcomes that street design can have towards inclusive, multi -modal transportation for the City of Miami Beach. The design guide recommends new policies and programs, including the establishment of bicycle priority streets, pedestrian priority zones, and detailed guidance for the implementation of "Complete Streets." The Street Design guide also supports the implementation section of the master plan with detailed instructions for retrofitting typical conditions found across the city. The guide helps the city identify their variety of street types and determine the appropriate treatment for each condition. It calls out best practices for the installation of bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure and supporting treatments such as streetscape design and signalization. LANDSCAPE BUFFER MOUNTABLE CURB PARKED CARS & MOUNTABLE CURB The Street Design Guide details the potential configurations of typical streets across Miami Beach. 1n CROSSWALKS Crosswalks are the designated part of a roadway at an intersection or elsewhere where pedestrians are intended to cross, indicated by surface pavement markings or materials. Even where crosswalks are not marked, pedestrians can legally cross the street according to state law. The MUTCD Section 3B.18 offers general guidance for site -specific crosswalk marking implementation which call special attention to the areas where it is believed pedestrians should cross the street, and where existing volumes of pedestrians are high. However, pedestrian behavior often disregard these cues, and choose to cross at the shortest distance regardless of the presence or absence of paint. In addition, the standards set forth herein are intended to increase the pedestrian modeshare, and are to be implemented regardless of existing pedestrian demand. Data shows that high visibility crosswalks have numerous benefits. In New York City, they are associated with a 40% decrease in pedestrian crashes, while in San Fronsisco a 37% decrease in crashes was observed in school zones with marked crosswalks." Marked crosswalks are provided for a variety of reasons: • To indicate to pedestrians the desired path of crossing. • To alert motorists of the presence of pedestrians at intersections. • To indicate a legal mid -block crossing for pedestrians in high volume, high crossing areas. WHEN SHOULD MARKED CROSSWALKS BE PROVIDED? • At intervals no less than 350' • At locations controlled by traffic control signals • At intersections controlled by stop or yield signs. • Where judgment dictates the need of a marked crosswalk because of high demand, or to indicate safest path.

Streets with high daily volumes and speeds (over I0,000VPD or over 30 mph) are not appropriate as Neighborhood Greenways bicycle facilites. Neighborhood Greenway Heavy streets should have less than 600 VPD, with speeds less than 20 mph. The amount of financial investment and level of traffic diversion to accomplish greenways ranges rom Heavy to Light, and can be described as a continuum of traffic design and streetscope improvement strategies that prioritize bicycle travel over automobile to various degrees, while providing streetscope improvements that directly benefit pedestrians and property owners. A Neighborhood Greenway "heavy" (NGH) presents higher traffic diversion and level of investment than a "light". In addition, NGH usually have a higher concentration of greenway design elements. 11 PLAN NOBE NORTH BEACH MASTER PLAN Client: City of Miami Beach (FL) Reference: Jason King, Principal, Dover Kohl jking@doverkohl.com Year: 2015-2016 Description: Street Plans worked alongside Dover Kohl & Partners and the North Beach Steering Committee in the creation of the North Beach Master Plan (Plan NoBe). Street Plans led the transportation planning element of the master plan, which ultimately guided the vision for the neighborhood. Plan NoBe aims to guide public policy for the future development and planning of the North Beach District of the City of Miami Beach. Street Plans led the community engagement process, which included a design charrette, and produced the Master Plan report based upon the information gathered from the public during the charrette process. The design charrette was an intensive four -day public brainstorming session. Street Plans engaged with over a thousand participants, including property owners, neighbors, merchants, developers, environmental specialists, historic preservationists, and community leaders. Following the charrette process, Street Plans produced the transportation plan chapter of the master plan report. The report focused on bike, pedestrian, and transit recommendations, as well as land development regulations, design guidelines, and sustainability metrics. The plan sought a new vision for North Beach's main street, 71st Street, as a multimodal corridor. As shown in the adjacent renderings, our proposal was for the reduction in lane capacity, and the creation of dedicated bus lanes and protected bike lanes. PLAN NOBE PROPOSED NORTH BEACH PA Based upon the community's priorities, the master plan focused on five priorities: developing a pedestrian - friendly town center, provide more mobility options, capitalize upon the community's existing historic character, better utilize public lands, and build a more climate -resilient city. The proposed street section for 71st Street, between Normandy Fountain and Collins Avenue includes a multimodal street with a premium bicycle facility. 12 The long-term vision for the Normandy Isle fountain area depicts a mixed -use district, with the transformation of the current auto -centric use of space adjacent to the fountain, to a pedestrian -centric fully closed plaza. The Town Center Vision includes the following recommendations: redevelop 71st St. into a walkable main street, front the street with new mixed -use buildings, consider one or two public parking garages, redevelop the Byron Carlyle Theater into a district hub, and reimagine the 72nd St. parking lot. T� RUE VENDOME INTERIM PLAZA Client: City of Miami Beach (FL) Reference: Michelle Huttenhoff, Former Economic Development Manager 954-579-6902 Year: 2017 - 2018 Description: In August 2017, Street Plans was hired by the City of Miami Beach to develop a design for, and implement, a parking lot transformation in Miami Beach's North Beach neighborhood. Previously identified in the North Beach Master Plan, produced by Dover Kohl & Partners and Street Plans and approved in October 2016, the now -Rue Vendome Plaza was a 9-space parking lot adjacent to a prominent neighborhood gathering space. The Master Plan put forward a vision for an interim transformation of the parking lot into a plaza (1-2 years), one that would eventually be permanently implemented. Street Plans designed the 3,565 square -foot asphalt pattern, procured the materials, and collaborated with the City of Miami Beach on volunteer outreach. Starting on April 2nd, 2018, Street Plans measured and outlined the design. For the next two days, Street Plans was joined by City of Miami Beach volunteers to paint the plaza, guided by the drawings Street Plans had produced of the design. The plaza was completed on April 6th, and has been used by the city for farmer's markets and smaller neighborhood events since its installation. The plaza received new life a year later, when local creative marketing and events group Prism Creative Group hosted its first activation. The activation featured live music, food and beverage vendors, large-scale games like chess, and art booths. The permanent reconstruction of the Rue Vendome Plaza is currently underway. +,W. Street Plans designed and installed the interim pedestrian plaza based on the recommendations provided in the North Beach Master Plan. 14 The long-term vision for the Normandy Isle fountain area depicts a mixed -use district, with the transformation of the current auto -centric use of space adjacent to the fountain, to a pedestrian -centric fully closed plaza. J__ r WASHINGTON AVENUE BUS PLATFORM ANALYSIS Client: Washington Avenue Business Improvement District, City of Miami Beach (FL) Reference: Milos Majstorovic, Former Transportation Manager (901) 490-3431 Year: 2021 Description: In July 2020, the City of Miami Beach and Washington Avenue Business Improvement District implemented a pilot project along Washington Avenue from Sth to 16th Streets to provide multimodal transportation options and support for recovering businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic. The project included the use of one travel lane in each direction for the addition of bike lanes and sidewalk extensions/outdoor dining zones, and the relocation of transit to Collins Avenue. During the evaluation phase of the project, the city hired Street Plans to evaluate how to bring transit service back to Washington by studying the feasibility of constructing bus loading platforms that accommodated the existing protected bike lanes. Street Plans prepared a comprehensive report, including diagrams, technical drawings, and a cost analysis for how the city could use temporary materials to facilitate in -lane bus boarding within the pilot project extents. Street Plans first catalogued each unique curbside condition of the pilot project, and created a set of typologies of ramp combinations to install at each condition to facilitate platform -level boarding. The diagrams and cost analysis were presented in a final memo to the city, with itemized lists of materials to both purchase and fabricate to create the ramps, and with recommendations for how to move forward with installation. The conditions of the pilot project at the bus stops along the corridor varied greatly. Street Plans conducted a field assessment of all 13 bus stops, and made recommendations as to which boarding installation was most appropriate. Component A Wood/Metal Fabrication Pedestrian Ramp Standard metal hammg conshodion +wood composite decking $522 - $1,098 Component B Wood/Metal Fabrication Pedestrian Bridge Standard metal homing const—non +wood composite decking $1,392 - $2,928 Wood/Metal Fabrication Component C Bicycle Ramp Standard metal homing construction +wood composite decking $522 - $1,098 Each ramp type was priced out for a combination of purchased and fabricated components. 16 Ramp Types Ramp Type A contains two components, bicycle ramps and a 6'x8' pedestrian bridge.

The plan aims to create low -stress streets for walking and biking through low cost traffic calming and street design. Street Plans analyzed the neighborhood's existing conditions and identified traffic calming project types that could be implemented utilizing the quick -build methodology such as curb extensions, traffic circles, diverters, signage, and asphalt art. With these typologies in mind, Street Plans selected potential project locations in Flamingo Park and created a Kit of Parts for each project typology with material information, specifications and a cost analysis. Once the Kit of Parts was reviewed by the city, Street Plans developed block -by -block conceptual plans for two corridors in the neighborhoods that build on the plans that were started as part of Slow Streets Network Plan in 2020. Street Plans also created a public engagement and communications plan to gather community input and guide project development. As part of this work, Street Plans worked extensively with city staff to prepare presentations to city committees, review staff memos, and to help identify budget requests to take this project from concept to built reality. Street Plans is currently working with the City of Miami Beach to initiate Phase 1 of the City of Miami Beach Slow Streets 2.0 Pilot Projects. The work will reflect the proposals identified in the Slow Streets 2.0 analysis completed in the summer of 2022 and will focus on Jefferson Avenue between 5th Street and 11 Street, and 13 Street between Washington Avenue and Meridian. The Kit of Parts included detailed diagrams for the application of different typologies with design standards and best practices. I[:1 LIN �.AN OLu-.. _e..

As part of this task, Street Plans developed a presentation that outlined the process for creating the Master Plan and identified potential projects to be implemented in the near future. Street Plans developed a selection framework to identify criteria for potential project selection such as bicycle and transit connectivity, political support, community support, practicality, project cost, business involvement, and the built context. The selected projects were then showcased to the City Commission during a series of field tours. The guided tour was led by Street Plans and included 5 locations in Miami Beach. Firm principal Tony Garcia gave background information on each location, explained the history of each project, summarized community input, and how each project could help advance the long-term design identified in the Master Plan. It is this type of in-depth knowledge and expertise about the City of Miami Beach that city staff can rely on.

We currently serve as on -call consultants for the Broward County Metropolitan Planning Organization for General Planning, and for the City of West Palm Beach for Transportation Planning and General Planning services. U.S.-1 CORRIDOR MOBILITY PLAN Client: Village of Pinecrest (FL) Reference: Stephen Olmsted, Planning Director 305-234-2121 1 solmsted@pinecrest-fl.gov Year: 2014-2015 Description: Street Plans worked with the Village of Pinecrest to develop a multi -modal mobility plan for the U.S.1 Corridor. This project took into account the needs of drivers, but specifically focused on increasing safety and mobility for cyclists and pedestrians in the study area. Street Plans conducted a thorough existing conditions analysis, documenting transit networks and crash -data, as well as user -level information collected through Handlebar Survey and Walkability Audits. The final U.S.1 Corridor Mobility Plan provides Pinecrest leaders, decision -makers, transportation officials, and community members with a clear, concise, and attractive master plan report summarizing all recommendations and analysis. The Plan includes: Short- and long-term, site specific pedestrian safety improvements; • Project recommendations to improve connections in support of the existing Village Bicycling Plan and area bicycle trails; • Design standards for new bicycle and pedestrian facilities; • And a detailed Implementation Plan. This planning effort required an excellent understanding of design and engineering practices in the latest multimodal transportation practices, in addition to understanding the circumstances unique to Pinecrest. For example, Street Plans explored small improvements to sidewalks and commercial alleyways in order to increase connectivity between the U.S. 1 commercial corridor and adjacent residential neighborhoods. Street Plans' approach to this project was informed by their analysis of Pinecrest's land use and transportation context, to ensure appropriate calibration of low -stress bicycle and pedestrian connections within the village. Existing Conditions were documented as part of the work, followed by annotated renderings (top) that allowed the public and elected officials to understand how existing conditions could be enhanced and improved over time.

In keeping with the goal of Vision Zero, and based on a thorough review of the state-of-the-art, the Plan proposes the total elimination of all traffic -related deaths and serious injuries by the year 2030. As part of this effort, Street Plans performed literature review and data collection to determine high -crash locations and assist in providing recommendations. Based on the data analyses, Street Plans identified safety countermeasures or recommendations. The recommendations include short- and long-term, location -specific actions that address both crash prevention and injury reduction. A sub -set of priority projects were identified for rapid implementation. The locations of the suggested improvements presented in Table 9 are shown on Figure 11. Demographics data of the population within % mile radius of each location indicate, all but one of the 18 sites (C: AVENTURA BLVD and NE 29TH PL) are populated by more than 75% Black and Hispanic peoples. The three highest crash locations are at between 59% and 69% Hispanic (P: SW 268TH ST and SW 134TH AVE; Q: SW 312TH ST and SW 152ND AVE; and R: SW 312TH ST and 137TH AVE). The poverty level annual median income in 2017 for a family in Miami -Dade County is $25,300; only location G -- NW 29TH AVE at NW 56TH ST -- includes families with median incomes lower than the poverty level. Table 10, summaries each proposed priority improvement, its cost, implementing agency and time frame. These countermeasures showgreat promise for reducing vehicularcrashes, especiallyin lowering speed limits. However, lowering speed limits in residential areas requires action on behalf of the County and local municipalities. State statutes allow lowering the residential speed limit of 30 miles per hour to 25 miles per hour within the County and allow municipalities to lower the residential speed limit to 20 miles per hour.', A NW 207TH DR and NW 37TH AVE Suggested Signalize Time Cost R,-%ponsible Party S250.000 Miami Gardens 2-5 years 6 NE 215TH ST and NE 2141) AVE Add IeK-rum phasing (Reconstruct Signal) $250,000 Miami Gardens 2-5 years C AVENTURA BLVD antl NE 29M Pl.

LPIs give pedestrians a 3-5 second head -start to cross and should be adapted to the needs of the local context. Locations around schools, hospitals, retirement communities, retail districts, etc. should be given greater consideration for crossing times. The current assumption for walk speed of 3.5 feet per second should be re-evaluated. • Lane Reductions (Road Diets): This strategy includes narrowing the vehicular travel way by eliminating lanes and/or reducing lane widths. The reclaimed space can be used for separated bike lanes, wider sidewalks, landscaping, bus -only lanes, etc. • Lek -turn traffic calming: Failure to yield right-of-way is a major cause of traffic collisions, particularly at intersections. Leff -turn movements comprise most of failure -to -yield crashes. Design countermeasures for increasing safety for turns include: hardened center lines (Figure 12) and protected left -turn signals. Z'srr. • No -Turn -on -Red policies: Locations where there is a high volume of pedestrian and/or bicycle activity should be prioritized for No -Turn -on -Red' policies. These are common in commercial corridors, trail and bike lane crossings, and other areas of high bicycle/pedestrian activity. • Curb Extensions jhulbouts): Curb extensions are areas at intersections that are convened into expanded sidewalks (Figure13). They are typically created by reducing the curb radius of an intersection and sometimes occupy pavement area created by on -street parking. Curb extensions reduce the crossing distance for pedestrians and slow turning traffic. This an permit installing traffic control devices closer to the travel lanes where they become more visible (notice the apparent blockage of the Stop sign by the tree and on -street parking in Figure 13). Where feasible, this method is also one that can be quickly implemented in a relatively short period of time at moderate .,.r 1 MON D[ cm VISION ZERO RAN 13S 24 CORAL GABLES BICYCLE MASTER PLAN Client: City of Coral Gables (FL) Year: 2013-2015 Description: The City Beautiful is truly a unique city in Miami - Dade County. Though it is not known for its bicycle or pedestrian infrastructure, in 2010 the City Commission made the historic decision to invest $400,000 in the expansion of bicycle facilities around the city. At that time, the city also embarked on an ambitious public works campaign to repave city streets and implement traffic calming projects around the city. Created by Street Plans, the primary purpose of this study is to identify the projects that can be implemented with the initial $400,000 investment in the short term, while also identifying bicycle and pedestrian investments that can be made in the years ahead. For this initial investment, this study recommends the implementation of a bike lane along the most heavily used route in the city, from Salzedo in the downtown core, to University Drive, straight to the University of Miami Campus. Over the long term, the proposed Coral Gables Bicycle/Pedestrian Plan envisions more than 27 miles of new or improved bikeways, sidewalks and crosswalks with a focus on inexpensive and practical projects. At present, the City of Coral Gables Bicycle network includes over 10 miles of Bicycle Lanes, Shared Use Paths, and Greenways. Thus, this plan recommends a comprehensive expansion and diversification of facilities to expand the demographic of residents who bicycle. The plan recommends a comprehensive expansion and diversification of facilities to expand the demographic of residents who bicycle. 25 -_lM-'"wT . In present day, some of the recommendations provided in the master plan have been implemented, such as a bike lane on a residential street or a mid -block crossing to enhance the pedestrian experience (above). This version of Miracle Mile demonstrates the parking protected bike lane concept. While the master plan envisions a sidewalk level shared -use path on Miracle Mile, this drawing shows that a protected bike lane can also be implemented. Protected and shared use facilities are appropriate for the land use, density and need to connect to points east and west along the corridor. ?6 BTACTICAL COMPLETE STREETS PHASE C1iant!

BIKE LANE PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK J' Year: 2021-2022 Description: In 2021, Street Plans was engaged by the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization to lead the first two phases of its BTactical Tactical Urbanism program within its Complete Streets division. The first project selected was in Deerfield Beach, FL for a corridor included in the city's high injury network. Within the pilot project segment, a .E- mile stretch of NE 3rd Avenue adjacent to Broward Health North hospital and two schools, there had been three traffic crash fatalities in the last five years, due to excessive speeding and unsafe driving. Within the last ten years, the roadway had been widened from two to four lanes, and the city wanted to use the pilot project in part to test a 4-3 lane reduction. Street Plans kicked off the project with a Walk & Talk workshop to survey the project extents with the community, and start to brainstorm traffic calming and other solutions that could be evaluated through the pilot project. Over the course of the public engagement, Street Plans and the project team refined the final pilot project design to reflect the feedback of stakeholders and residents within the Tedder neighborhood, and the desires of the city. From December 7-11, 2021, Street Plans, the BMPO, the City of Deerfield Beach, and over 70 volunteers executed a lane reduction by restriping the travel lanes and creating a painted bike lane buffer; added three new crosswalks and eight total art crosswalks; and added vertical protection to the existing bike lanes.

The second project selected was in the Lake Ridge Neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale on NE 15th Avenue between Sunrise Blvd and NE 13th Street. The corridor experiences speeding issues and overlaps with the Broward High Injury Network (HIN). This location is also listed as a priority project in the Lake Ridge Neighborhood Mobility Master Plan adopted in 2015 (NMM), which proposes a lane elimination project on the corridor. The team hosted a series of in -person and virtual workshops, as well as door-to-door outreach efforts, that invited community members to share the challenges they experience along the corridor as everyday users and provide feedback on the proposed street design. Street Plans also facilitated weekly focus group meetings with local stakeholders and partners. Street Plans refined the final pilot project design to reflect the feedback of stakeholders and residents within the Lake Ridge neighborhood, and the needs of the city. Street Plans also came up with asphalt art designs inspired by the local fauna and created a step-by-step implementation guide for the project. From May 12-15, 2022, Street Plans, the BMPO, the City of Fort Lauderdale, and over 100 volunteers executed a lane reduction by restriping the travel lanes and creating a 5 foot bike lane with a 5 foot buffer area; added nine new crosswalks, two pedestrian refuge islands, and over 60,000 square feet of asphalt art. Within the first month of evaluation, the number of speeding vehicles on the corridor reduced by over 50%. The daily average speed on the corridor reduced from 40 mph to 35 mph. This pilot project installation allowed the City of Fort Lauderdale to deliver safety and accessibility benefits to the Lake Ridge Neighborhood without having to wait years for capital project funding approval. -A AMMP, AL -- - Above: Residents participating at Walk and Talk Work- shop.

Funding for the first round of this program is provided by a grant awarded to the non- profit Green Mobility Network by the New York City - based non-profit, TransitCenter, and local partner The Miami Foundation. In addition to getting infrastructure projects in the ground, the overarching objectives of the program include: empower Miami -Dade County residents to voice their own ideas for transportation projects; form a working relationship with the Department of Transportation and Public Works to enable easier delivery of citizen -proposed projects in the future; and foster partnerships between residents, advocacy groups, agencies, and government entities. The Program started as a county -wide open competition for transportation pilot projects. Street Plans created the marketing and outreach materials for the program, including the logo and overall brand identity. In July, 2017, a selection committee comprised of Street Plans, the DTPW, Miami -Dade County Dept. of Parks, Recreation, and Open Spaces, Green Mobility Network, and TransitCenter selected 18 (out of 68 applications) based on criteria like geographic diversity, feasibility of installation, proximity to transit, matching funds, connection to adjacent community assets, etc. The selected projects included separated bus lanes, separated bike lanes, bus stop improvements, traffic calming measures, and wayfinding. The program kicked off in November 2017 with Plaza 98, a pavement -to -plaza project in Miami Shores Village that transformed a portion of a street into a temporary plaza to be used for periodic community events. Following Plaza 98, two wayfinding projects were installed in the neighborhood of Little Havana, Miami for both the city's trolley system, and the county's Metrobus system. } :, e �� • FF,s�rliL 'iF� , Alm _ X h The program included projects that focused on improving wayfinding (above), activated public spaces (middle), and repurposed parking lanes into outdoor dining (below). �1 :ETPLANS SUBMi^EG 1B1pt8 iECEIED 12.2— LS: n Makings: 19,nt lan . e As",ot Pain,. ^9 e sioV�'nt,VMiCoI Off�s[s "Offic Win, 3 Stnping Pion ge4 of One of the selected projects created new parking separated bus -bike only lanes, and new curb extensions and crosswalks at select locations.

The Crosstown Greenway Pilot Project tested Neighborhood Greenway elements along the "Crosstown Connector", a route identified in the 2019 Key West Bicycle & Pedestrian MasterPlan. At its full extent, the 3-mile Crosstown Connector includes Duck Avenue, the off-street paths connecting 14th Street to Seidenberg Avenue, Seidenberg Avenue between 12th Street and 10th Street, and Staples Avenue/Von Phister Street between Roosevelt Boulevard and Reynolds Street. An already heavily -used route, the Connector is an important link for non -motorized commuters coming from Stock Island and elsewhere on the island, and it is a calmer, parallel route for leisurely biking, walking, and traveling within the City of Key West. After multiple rounds of public engagement beginning in November 2019, and a robust project selection process, the project team landed on a set of interventions at six locations along Staples Avenue/Von Phister Street between George Street and 12th Street as a part of a first phase of the Crosstown Greenway. A Phase II of the Pilot Project is planned to be installed by the city in the future, and will test traffic circles at previously proposed locations along the route. The Neighborhood Greenway elements tested included curb extensions, chicanes, crossbike markings, "super sharrows", and signage. These elements were installed over three days in November 2020 by Street Plans, the City of Key West, and over 30 volunteers. The project team conducted six months of evaluation following installation, with the biggest takeaway being a substantial increase in bicyclists, consequently further shifting the total mode share of travelers along the corridors toward non - motorized users. Street Plans led the installation of numerous bicycle infrastructure treatments such as protected curb extensions, chicanes, sharrows and bike boxes. These treatments shortened the pedestrian crossing distances, and slowed the speeds of turning vehicles to increase bicycle and pedestrian safety. 7.

This citywide plan utilized a robust public engagement effort and demonstration projects to deliver a full network plan, a bikeway design guide, and an equity action plan. The development of the Master Plan and Design Guide included Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) meetings, three public workshops, six ward -based handlebar surveys with community members, and a large-scale demonstration project along Bergen Avenue. Given the rise of new forms of shared and active mobility-- electric bikes, scooters, skateboards etc.,-- the demonstration project tested new dimensions and pavement markings for a wider number of active mobility users such as scooters and skaters. The resulting lanes were 75% wider than the city's conventional bike lanes and capably attracted a greater diversity of streets users. The final network plan seeks to achieve a 'minimum grid' of protected lanes and a dense network of neighborhood greenways, with the goal of quadrupling active mode share by 2030. The bikeway design guide is customized to Jersey City's unique street grid, and outlines the design strategies and infrastructure types that will help the city rapidly advance cycling. The design guide also includes a full chapter on integrating shared and active mobility into the city's future streetscapes, and a chapter on "quick build" implementation methods. Since 2019 Jersey City has implemented 10 miles of protected lanes, or 25% of the proposed protected bike lane network. The emerging network has increased cycling up to 200% on corridors with protected bike lanes. Street Plans was also retained in December 2019 to assist with ongoing project implementation and is currently working on street design projects across the city.

Street Plans' primary role was to co -develop and deliver all project outreach activities, as well as to help translate public input into short-term project recommendations. To kick off the public engagement process, pop-up public meetings were held at three different locations throughout Jersey City. Street Plans assisted with this effort by staging three temporary parklets that served as literal platforms for disseminating surveys and informing participants about the upcoming 11walkshops." Street Plans then worked closely with Fitzgerald & Halliday Inc. to plan and implement six walkability workshops, one in each of Jersey City's wards. The workshop locations were selected along corridors identified as unsafe for pedestrians. For each walkability workshop, Street Plans designed and facilitated temporary (and colorful!) curb extensions, which included a public -feedback board, tables and chairs, wayfinding signage, planters, and colorful asphalt paint. In addition to gathering feedback from passersby the demonstration projects were part of the larger walkability workshop and tour with local residents and stakeholders. The curb extensions allowed residents to experience first-hand a potential safety improvement project and provide input for the creation of the Pedestrian Enhancement Plan. The plan was adopted by City Council in Spring 2018 and led to the immediate implementation of parklets and more than 100 curb extensions, including at the sites of the demonstration projects. 79 JERSEY CITY WASHINGTON BOULEVARD STRIPING PLAN Client: ��'�I ••"►�ii� / �' City of Jersey City (NJ)�' r Reference: Barkha Patel, Director, Department Of Infrastructure t 201-547-5021 1 bpatel@jcnj.org Year: 2019 Description: — �? In February 2019, Jersey City formally adopted the Vision Zero Action Plan prepared by Street Plans to eliminate traffic fatalities and severe injuries on city - roadways by the year 2026. As part of this plan, the city retained Street Plans to prepare contractor -ready striping and signage plans for the implementation of pedestrian and bicycle _ safety infrastructure along Washington Boulevard from 2nd Street to 18th Street/Marin Blvd. Street Plans designed over 2 miles of protected bike lanes by removing one travel lane in each direction, as outlined in the bicycle master plan. In addition, pedestrian crossing distances were shortened with the introduction of curb extensions and islands at intersections. This project also included curb ramp reconstruction at all corners, and resetting of castings, drainage Street Plans has served as the lead technical design improvements and signage upgrades by the city. and implementation partner for Jersey City as it builds out priority projects in the bicycle and pedestrian master plans. i w AWRrt. all Kt ..FTf IM' 1t '�' .ILL (r+J `• y .. �' .` � MM M-A j — - _ _ 1111111 � itslc •+i ,�. • �e � M W .w...

The corridor stretches from the downtown core to the exurban areas on the edge of the city. The team divided the corridor into distinct zones that reflected the predominant land use development patterns and the character of the street. Using existing city data collection technology, Street Plans was able to analyze transportation modes across the different zones, including understanding the mix of transit, bike, and pedestrian trips. Using this data, Street Plans created a robust set of recommendations, from physical changes to the design of the street to operational and policy changes. The focus of the recommendations was to improve walking, biking, and transit usage. Texas Avenue & Alameda Avenue Concept Plan Fi -. X _S PJ � The Project Report included a toolkit of pedestrian and transit improvement strategies, as well as detailed plan view graphics and renderings of key locations for transformation along the corridor. For locations with more urban frontage and lower car volumes, the plan envisions an aggressive expansion of sidewalks, street trees, and crosswalks. Further out from the core, where land use is more suburban, the focus of the mobility recommendations is on improving the existing Brio bus network with dedicated bus lanes, queue jumps, and signal improvements. By tailoring proposed interventions to the immediate context, the project team was able to identify specific next steps for the city, while also being practical about what may be accomplished both in the short and long term. ALAMEDA AVENUE — - - 41 J Alameda Avenue Existing Conditions Short-term dedicated bus lane along Alameda Avenue, where space is maintained for other curbside uses, such as parking, loading, or bulb -outs.

Phase 1 included scoping a bicycle network plan. Dubbed the Bike Somerville Network Plan, phase 1 included a robust existing conditions mapping and a community workshop that resulted in strategic recommendations for developing a world - class bicycle network plan. Once the scope was finalized with the city, Street Plans were retained to begin the process of developing the draft network and to assist with all community engagement efforts (Phase 2). The outreach component of the planning process has included creating and leading handlebar survey rides with Somerville residents, providing branding and outreach collateral, assisting with the creation of an online and in -person survey, and presenting at multiple in -person and virtual workshops. The engagement and resulting draft network was developed in close partnership between Street Plans, city staff, and community members. Together the team developed robust criteria for selecting network links for inclusion in the Plan, comprehensive bicycle network; created a matrix analyzing the criteria; and translated them into a proposed draft network and prioritization plan that was released in June 2022. Street Plans and the city are currently closing out Phase 2 by incorporating community input into a formal Bicycle Network Plan document that will be published in Winter 2022.

The planning team included Dover, Kohl & Partners, Street Plans, Howard Stein Hudson, Daedalus, and Zanetta Illustration. Street Plans was tasked with developing the mobility chapter of the document, and leading virtual workshops with Assembly Square property owners and prospective businesses about their vision for mobility and how to best meet the needs of the local community. The mobility chapter proposes context - sensitive active transportation infrastructure for Assembly Square and for important corridors that connect it to the greater Somerville area. The plan addresses the current needs of Somerville while proposing policies, processes, and infrastructure for the future. This means envisioning great new places that are compatible and respectful of the surrounding city fabric. The Illustrative Plan shows how these places might develop by depicting the proposed multimodal roadways, buildings, alleys, parking locations, and open spaces of a full future build -out of the Assembly Square Neighborhood. Street Plans also established priority areas within the plan to demonstrate how changes in the right-of-way can help provide greater options for pedestrians, bicyclists and transit riders. The proposed recommendations for the priority areas detail how to improve connectivity to the neighborhood and create easier and safer ways for residents and visitors to reach their destinations. These changes include tightening curb radii, right - sizing streets, and improving pedestrian visibility at crossings.

The overall planning effort kicked off in the summer of 2019 with six Quick Build projects, one in each of the city's priority neighborhoods. These projects were meant to engage the community around the Plan in a hands-on manner, and demonstrate concepts that may be found in the eventual planning document. As one of the more dangerous intersections for bicyclists and pedestrians, and as an intersection along a proposed future Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route, Dixwell Avenue and Bassett Street could benefit from a number of bicycle and pedestrian improvements, some of which were trialed as part of the 2019 Safe Routes for All pilot projects. Plan public engagement kicked re -started with virtual workshops in January 2021, both in Spanish and in English, followed by a series of handlebar and walkabout surveys with the community. The Plan includes an intersection database documenting the conditions of sidewalks and crosswalks at all 1,500+ intersections in the city, conceptual designs for 11 priority locations, as well as chapter entirely on Tactical Transit for near -term and low-cost improvements to the city's bus system. The Plan is anticipated to be adopted by the Board of Alders in September 2022, and the City of New Haven and Street Plans plan to submit an application for federal SS4A funding. As an additional engagement related to Plan implementation, Street Plans is currently leading the creation of a Quick Build project in one of the City's Priority Neighborhoods, a project identified in the citywide Plan.

The overarching goal of the plan is to raise awareness of the trails and increase New Yorkers' engagement with the city's natural areas. The plan's discovery phase included both existing conditions inventory and stakeholder engagement to uncover opportunities and challenges to the current management and stewardship of the nature trails, and identify key on -and off-street connections to some of the systems largest trail networks. Street Plans hosted internal focus group discussions with the following five entities: • Park Rangers • Trails Team • Marketing • Operations and Planning • Stewardship and Partnership for Parks Other outreach activities included six "Hikeshops", which engaged over SO people, an open public workshop with 3S attendees, as well as an internal strategic workshop with 20 NYC Parks and NAC staff. Informed by the existing conditions analysis and public engagements, Street Plans produced a vision statement and six goals for the nature trails systems, supported by a set of over 3S recommendations to reach those goals. The recommendations included guidance on systematizing nature trail maintenance, evaluation, and improvements, stewardship and volunteering, programming, staffing, and marketing. The Strategic Plan also includes trail design standards and specifications, for the construction/formalization of trails, wayfinding and signage, landscaping, and trail amenities. The plan concludes with core findings from a series of case studies for NAC and NYC Parks to use as a resource for implementation of the plan. Key to the NYC Trails Strategic Plan was recommending more on -street connections for the 15% of City residents who live adjacent to natural areas with trails, but do not have a direct route to access them on foot or by bike. HOUSATONIC RAIL TRAIL EXTENSION PLAN Client: Connecticut Council Region of Governments Year: 2021-2022 Description: The proposed Housatonic Rail Trail Extension Plan is a vision to lengthen the Housatonic Rail Trail from Monroe to Newtown's Fairfield Hills campus. This 3.5 mile extension will help connect Newtown residents to Fairfield Hills, a former psychiatric hospital that Newtown continues to redevelop into a vibrant town center. This trail extension will also give residents an alternate way to travel through Newtown, and increase active mobility opportunities for residents and visitors alike. Street Plans worked with the Connecticut Council Region of Governments and the Town of Newtown to develop a routing plan for the rail trail, as well as plan views and sections for three highlight areas along the proposed routing plan. The highlight area drawings demonstrate the feasibility of extending the Housatonic rail -trail by providing potential design solutions and a material "look and feel" for some of the more difficult sections of the proposed right-of-way. �t. •:f SL: CZ Street Plans has put together an impressive team for this pursuit that encompasses every skill -set and sub specialty the city may need in advancing its mobility goals.

It is a fast growing region with both population and climate impact pressures. The County recently reintegrated transit and public works/transportation to better deliver holistic planning and services. The agency needed to move swiftly, communicate clearly, and identify and implement priorities that serve key outcomes for the public. While public transit service is a backbone, transit service needs enhancements for efficiency. First and last mile connectivity is crucial. The shift in shared mobility, from ridehailing to scooter sharing has provided both risks and big opportunities to move Miami - Dade forward. Cityfi provided multiple services over the course of consecutive contracts and engagements for the County. The Shared Mobility Plan is an effort to plan for, and to utilize all shared modes more effectively throughout Miami -Dade; recognizing that public transit is the backbone and could be boosted by reallocation of street space and an array of new public/private shared services to fill the lanes. Cityfi developed a Social Impact Calculator to support ongoing, data -driven decision -making that focuses on how each transportation and infrastructure investment creates various social impacts. The open source tool allows Miami -Dade County to evaluate the trade-offs of capital planning decisions by incorporating economic, environmental and equity -based metrics into project scoring. Cityfi also identified key barriers internally to reaching project goals and began an organizational assessment to identify next steps to resolve conflicts or resource deserts contributing to inaction. Working with partner agencies, leadership and stakeholders within the Department, Cityfi is developing the framework for a strategic plan and a two-year action agenda to swiftly, transparently and with public accountability implement projects and service improvements to advance public priorities.

New residents, businesses, and students will be living, working, learning, and playing in Downtown. With the increase in development density in Downtown, travel patterns will change. Plus, new services like Brightline, regional transit expansion, and a new bike share system are making it increasingly possible to conveniently travel using options beyond driving. The goal for this project is to establish a shared vision for mobility and community design in Downtown. This shared vision will include graphic communication of what change looks like, research of public investment needed to achieve the vision, and a synthesis of the transportation and development projects currently being planned. Cityfi supported the Palm Beach TPA in two workshops with the aim of identifying the main challenges that Downtown West Palm Beach is facing and on identifying with next steps to grasp the key opportunities.

However, not all communities have close access to high frequency transit lines. Emerging shared mobility services provided an opportunity to expand last -mile connections to transit, but only if these multiple separate mobility services could be integrated into a convenient, intuitive, and easy to use mobility system. In 2018, the City issued a Request for Demonstration. In this call, the City asked that shared mobility providers self organize into a coalition providing a diversity of mobility services. Any proposed coalition must integrate with and be additive to the existing public transit system and nonprofit bikeshare. Cityfi served as a strategic advisor to both the City Department of Mobility and Infrastructure and the selected coalition - the Pittsburgh Mobility Collective (PMC) led by Spin. The PMC was hailed as the nation's first Mobility as a Service (MaaS) deployment. Cityfi facilitated the program aiding in design of Service Level Agreements for equitable distribution of services, physical and virtual mobility hubs, state level authorizations for operations, and public engagement. The MaaS program enabled another important demonstration - one of the country's first Guaranteed Basic Mobility (aka UBM) programs. The demonstration targeted a neighborhood with residents that experienced transportation insecurity - the inability to reliably meet the travel necessary to satisfy basic household needs. The GBM program provided participating residents with multiple services offered by PMC partners as well as "coaching" to use them (such as adult bicycle riding lessons and training in how to unlock a scooter).

JARRETT WALKER + ASSOCIATES 112 Palm Beach County, Florida Palm Tran Route Performance Maximization Initiative In 2017, JWA assisted Palm Beach County's transit agency Palm Tran in the first phase of its Route Performance Maximization (RPM) Initiative, an effort intended to improve the usefulness of the transit system and ultimate stimulate the agency's ridership. Since the 1990s, Palm Beach County has been one of Florida's fastest - growing areas, but bus service has expanded only incrementally in that time. With the emergence of extensive new suburban development in the urban -rural interface, and the continued densification of downtown areas of West Palm Beach and Boca Raton and the US-1 corridor more generally, new transit needs have arisen throughout the County. The first phase of the RPM designed two different Service Concepts illustrating network design changes that could be implemented to better meet these needs using the current resources available to the agency. As part of this process, JWA delivered: • A Choices Report, illuminating the trade-offs that Palm Beach County stakeholders and elected officials would need to consider to make if they wished to change their transit system; A multi -day Core Design workshop with Palm Tran staff and represen tatives of key county and municipal planning staffs, where the initial design of each Service Concept was developed. A Service Concepts Report, describing each refined conceptual network in detail, including operational cost factors, key outcomes (changes in access to jobs, etc.), and clear maps of the options. • Presentations to both the agency's Service Board, and the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners, explaining the process and describing the purpose and content of each service alternative. In Spring 2018, Palm Tran sought public comment on a set of changes based on JWA's "Coverage" Service Concept. A new network was implemented in October 2018. The new network was designed to maintain existing coverage, and not to concentrate service into fewer, higher - frequency and higher -ridership routes. Yet the streamlining and connection improvements have resulted in a 2% increase in ridership, at a time when ridership is falling on peer systems.

The City of Norfolk had long supported the most robust transit network of any city in the Hampton Roads region and was the largest local funder of Hampton Roads Transit. Nevertheless, the City had not previously taken a leadership role in transit planning. In conjunction with its long-term, city-wide multimodal transportation plan, the City led a rethinking of its bus network. JWA helped city stakeholders and decision -makers understand why the existing network was not meeting their goals and felt irrelevant to the life of the city. The focus of the redesign was on a conversation around the priorities for the existing bus network and included development of two contrasting network alternatives showing how HRT's network in Norfolk network could be designed to focus on either generating more ridership or expanding coverage to new areas. JWA led a series of staff workshops to develop the key elements of the plan in an interactive and inclusive way. A Stakeholder Advisory Committee was also engaged, as well as broader public outreach. Key outcomes included: • A decision on how to balance the competing goals of high ridership and wide geographic coverage. • Discussions with stasff and key decision makers on the evolving thinking around key transit priority corridors and the connections to redevelopment areas. • Network plan for 2023 reflecting a consensus on the level of invest- ment and ridership -coverage balance in the short-term • Network plan for 2030 reflecting the new investment in service coming through a regional funding measure. The City Council adopted a resolution of support to express support for the new network in a November 2021 resolution. HRT expects to implement the new network in early 2023.

To help stakeholders and the public understand the conflicting goals of Status transit network design, JWA worked with county and local staff to create Complete two concepts: one that kept the county's existing coverage and one that focused on allocating more resources towards high ridership goals. The Cost concepts included resources from municipal trolleys. Integrating the trolleys $350,000 with Miami -Dade Transit service showed the benefits of reduced duplication and the value of a seamless network that could get more residents to more Dates places sooner. June 2019 - November 2020 JWA guided our local partners at Transit Alliance on the surveying and Key Staff outreach efforts around these two concepts, which included dozens of Jarrett Walker, Lead Designer public meetings and thousands of survey responses. Based on public Scudder Wagg, Project Manager outreach, staff recommended a blend about half -way between the two Ricky Angueira, Analyst concepts.

West Palm Beach is a dense and walkable city in a largely suburban and car -oriented county. The transit service that the county transit agency (Palm Tran) was providing was insufficient for the level of density and walkability that the city intends. The City had been running a limited, downtown -focused trolley service, but felt it needed to expand its transit offerings city-wide and better coordinate transit services provided by the county agency. As a subcontractor to Alta Planning & Design, JWA led the development of the transit components of the plan. Key issues included: • Designing a network that complemented county services instead of competing with them. • Integrating citywide needs with downtown circulator markets. • Locating and identifying rough specifications for a new down- town transit center and revisions to the layout of the Tri-Rail transit center. • Exploring different downtown routing possibilities while still showing flexibility in response to actions the county might take. • Building understanding among civic leaders about the need for the City to lead on this issue. The work included an analysis of existing conditions, a stakeholder workshop, and an intensive staff workshop to develop network design ideas. Based on JWA's work, the City began the first phases of transit expansion in 2019; the full Final Plan was delivered in early 2020.

The city hired Alta Planning and Design and Street Plans as the consultant team to lead the design and development of this project. The Prospect Avenue safety improvement project, dubbed "A Safer Prospect," was developed in response to community concern about traffic safety along the corridor. This project was originally conceived to include in -person engagement events, such as traditional open houses to share ideas and collect community feedback but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the project team led virtual community engagement activities that helped determine the locations for the demonstration elements and refined the design of temporary infrastructure treatments. Street Plans designed the types of infrastructure to be installed and developed an implementation plan that was presented to the City Council on January 2021. In May, the project team installed a number of temporary infrastructure enhancements along Prospect Avenue which include curb extensions, high visibility crosswalks, pedestrian islands and a traffic circle. To evaluate the demonstration project, the project team analyzed the general public surveys, public comments received directly, and general observations to assess its effect on safety for the Prospect Avenue Corridor as well as the community's sentiment regarding the installed infrastructure. may. rs The project focused on improving the rate of vehicles yielding and stopping for pedestrians, and managing and reducing vehicle speeds to keep students and younger residents safe. iSn SCAG: BICYCLE & PEDESTRIAN EDUCATION & SAFETY CAMPAIGN Client: City of Beverly Hills (CA) Reference: Christian Vasquez, Transportation Planning Analyst, City of Beverly Hills 1 (310) 285-1161, cvasquez@ beverlyhills.org Year: 2020-2021 Description: Together with Alta Planning and Design, and thanks to funding from the Southern California Association of Government's (SCAG's) Sustainability Planning Grant program, Street Plans led the development and implementation of the Beverly Hills demonstration project. The project focused on advancing the city's goal to enhance safety, walkability, and encourage the use of active modes. The project team engaged residents,'stakeholders, community partners, and visitors through a series of online surveys, and met with owners within the immediate vicinity of the project area to discuss the project. Street Plans also hosted two interdepartmental charrettes to discuss design concepts, material durability, and seek guidance about the implementation. Several design options were considered for the street mural, each inspired by a different aspect of Beverly Hills' architectural history. The street mural pattern selected by the Traffic and Parking Commission is an homage to the iconic wallpaper found in the Beverly Hills Hotel that depicts banana leaf fronds against a pink background. The final design included 4 curb extensions at the Camden Drive/Brighton Way intersection with delineators and planter boxes to provide greater separation between people and moving vehicles. Bike racks were also placed on the northeast and southeast curb extensions, making this project a more bike -friendly destination. Street Plans developed an installation guide with step-by-step instructions for paint applications and worked closely with Public Works staff on to the installation of the demonstration, supporting traffic control as well as striping, stencil application, and installing the bollards, planters, and bike racks. The day of the installation, Street Plans trained city Public Works staff on stencil application, building the city's internal resources to replicate a similar project in the future. �S� ALBEMARLE REGIONAL BICYCLE MASTER PLAN Client: North Carolina Department of Transportation (NC) Year: 2012-2013 Description: Street Plans assisted the North Carolina Department of Transportation, the Albemarle Rural Planning Organization (RPO), and Alta Planning + Design team with the creation of a Regional Bicycle Master Plan. Located in northeast North Carolina, the predominantly rural 10-county Albemarle region is comprised of natural preserves, productive farmland, and a scattering of hamlets, villages, and small towns and cities. The region is also home to the beaches of the Outer Banks, which attract hundreds of thousands of people each summer, many who enjoy and desire safe and attractive bicycling conditions. To more closely coordinate regional and local land use and transportation planning decisions, Street Plans established a regional framework comprised of 7 common place types. This framework was used to guide context -appropriate local and regional policy and infrastructure investment recommendations - from inland natural areas, to village centers, to the beach districts commonly found in the Outer Banks. ..

SCAG: GO HUMAN CAMPAIGN Client: City of Ojai (CA) Reference: Stephen Patchan, Assistant Director Planning & Environment (Southern California Association of Governments), (213) 236-1923, patchan@scag.ca.gov Year: 2016-2017 Description: Street Plans, together with Alta Planning + Design, developed and implemented nine Tactical Urbanism demonstration/placemaking projects as a part of the Southern California Association of Governments' (SCAG) Go Human region -wide safety and encouragement campaign. The primary goal of the Tactical Urbanism approach to the campaign was to promote region -wide walking and biking, and to allow residents to temporarily experience streets that are designed for people walking, cycling, and using transit. Project types ranged from open streets events, to protected bike lanes demonstrations, to temporary traffic circles curb extensions, and parklets). The selection of project types depended entirely on the local municipal partner's existing plans and community goals. For all nine projects Street Plans was tasked with leading community engagement (TAC meetings, volunteer coordination etc.) and leading the design, materials procurement, and implementation of the demonstration project elements. The temporary treatments allowed event attendees to experience an enhanced walking and biking boulevard, catalyzing momentum towards permanent change in the future. The first of the nine projects was completed on October 2016 in Long Beach, CA. Dubbed "Activate Uptown," the project featured an open streets event as well as a temporary bicycle boulevard. Street Plans led design and materials procurement for the bicycle boulevard, which included art crosswalks, a traffic circle, and other features. Following Long Beach, Street Plans implemented demonstration projects in Cudahy, Garden Grove, Rancho Cucamonga, Rialto, Westminster, Riverside, and Fullerton. The project series ended in June of 2017 with an Orange County project, in partnership with OC Parks and the cities of Anaheim and Yorba Linda. The demonstration projects for each city were tailored to garner support for existing planning efforts, address challenges along each particular corridor, or increase public engagement in an upcoming planning process. Interventions ranged from parklets and programming (top + middle) and pedestrian infrastructure like crosswalks and median refuges (bottom). 1ST 4-P AP 141199411.4 Its MOVE CULVER CITY CORRIDOR REDESIGN Client: City of Culver City Transportation Department (CA) Reference: Diana Chang, Transportation & Mobility Planning Manager diana.chang@culvercity.org Year: 2020-Ongoing Description: Street Plans, Sam Schwartz and TYLin were hired by the City of Culver City Transportation Department to develop and implement the MOVE Culver City project. The project implemented the guiding principles set forth in the city's Transit Oriented Development Visioning Plan and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Action Plan. The Tactical Mobility Lane Pilot Project created dedicated bus and bike lanes in both directions on a 1.3 mile stretch of Culver Blvd. and Washington Blvd. Street Plans worked closely with Sam Schwartz and TYLin to develop technical striping plans for the mobility lane construction. Street Plans also created pedestrian amenities with asphalt art designs inspired by the local flora and fauna of the Ballona Creek on various locations across the corridor. In addition to the corridor redesign, Street Plans led the branding, and public outreach of the project. Our team created a project website to update the community on the project's progress and hosted over 20 in -person and virtual public workshops as the design was developed. The 1.3 mile project included dedicated bus lanes, bus priority signals, custom bus and bike boarding platforms, protected bike lanes, new bike signals, micro -mobility parking hubs, the launch of City Ride, a free battery -powered electric minibus to supplement other transit services, and over 30,000 sq. ft. of asphalt art murals. In November 2022, Street Plans published the project's Mid -Pilot Report, a six-month summary of its performance. Since installation, bus ridership has increased by 52%, cycling activity has increased by 32%, and pedestrian activity has increased by 18%. Street Plans continues to work with Culver City to implement future mobility corridors across the city. With more than 30,000 sq. ft. of murals representing the flora and fauna of the nearby Ballona Wetlands, this is the largest asphalt art installation in North America. 1SS --------------------- ............ � twtY i.� lPw < MCY�Mwn��w� iOir• .ao.e ,. r�'w Nu •.y.a•aArw< r w LM tc swro m v�i uoa"w Nye. tw ..n ro - CULVERBOULEVARD a y _ Iwo m .a+ •moo w, p L =A— �.o ms r» I .<0..s we• ti � 9a. m ne'sm Sc wsc:a+ls.xa.n watso+otans[ooim saf .wB sor rwxu ytw .,...,o.nron�wsywc CITY OF CULVER CITY WMAP M-wM i.1MLfLTk WBI[t 15 WIlrY.i N.6le lnd o.nuM[usw ?.Nwwtl',O,M-09 aHA>oY� •.01-IC WOHIfS O<P�RTMtN1 �r.,•._� w,a�-1r K[ocN.r i4�,rl»P4W4OI('P e wo w.,.vs.w,�srro N�wsm(py <.w vncrc � dwosroeNr„wasonn u.rma.a.maMwnr..mr o+orwsrnn owsae.o __ .. ��• osn-R•v.o�sness onan�a oueo s /u a+l..otwasroN+uxr rrNvsN oen.oMwurroNnwt _ �,p r...n . .u�newsroN+we� rnor.nooae000m.uw.ot+nn s Mrwacwa+o�w.asro.a�vn. v,snvnes� +oM STRIPING PLAN „/N`� w...w. •w• • r Y�� Yun we r6�W Yf . .wwsao CULVERCTY,CALIFORMA r -.+aeP.n � ir1,�(IENN?iNN1A1. >i/K W/JVII Street Plans developed striping permit plans for the 1.3 mile long mobility lane.

We know what the community is looking for when it comes to these projects, and we also know how to translate those desires into projects that can be implemented and approved by Miami -Dade County and FDOT. In the pages that follow we will detail out some general scope items that may be included in our work. PROJECT MANAGEMENT Work orders received under an awarded contract would receive immediate review by both the Project Manager (Tony Garcia) and Deputy Project Manager (Vanessa Lira), followed by scoping and project staffing. For all types of potential projects within the areas of work listed in the RFQ, Tony Garcia and Vanessa Lira will work closely with the city to first establish a work plan, schedule, and division of roles and responsibilities between Street Plans, subconsultants, and the client. A set of internal project management documents will help guide project kick-off, and ensure the City of Miami Beach, Street Plans, and Subconsultants, are aligned on project expectations, major milestones, and deliverables. Typical to any project kick-off is also the setting of regular check -ins, during which Street Plans will update the client on individual deliverable progress and overall project strategy over the course of the contract. To maintain quality and timely completion of deliverables, Street Plans' Project Manager will review all draft and final and project deliverables, like guidelines, master plans, technical drawings, analysis, and other documents. As a thought leader and highly sought after practitioner, Tony is a close manager of client relations, overall project strategy, and quality of work product. CORE SERVICES 1. COMPLETE STREETS Mike Lydon, CNU-A, will lead all Complete Streets related work orders. From the block scale, to multimile corridor plans, Mike's work has centered on creating streets and public spaces that are safe and accessible for all users. Street Plans has been at the forefront of the Complete Streets movement. We offer planning, operations and design experience and help our clients envision complete streets, and implementation -focused plans with context - sensitive design. Street Plans is also familiar with national Complete Streets practices, the NACTO Urban Street Design Guide, as well as the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Complete Streets Handbook and FDOT Design Manual. As co-author of the Miami Beach Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and having created detailed guidance for the implementation of Complete Streets, Mike is thoroughly familiar with the city's transportation priorities. Asheville Coxe Avenue Corridor Design Charrette & Workshop Our subconsultant, Sam Schwartz, has authored FHWA and NACTO best practice guides and led groundbreaking strategic transportation plans, regional mobility plans, and new mobility strategies across the country. With a growing daily population, we understand that current and future transportation infrastructure projects in Miami Beach must be executed with the following goals in mind: 165 1. Increasing Mobility and Safety for All Users 2. Ensuring Social Equity and Accessibility 3. Prioritizing Resiliency and Sustainability 4. Advancing Economic Development Mike Lydon will work with the city and a team of transportation planning experts and engineers from Street Plans and Sam Schwartz to: • Study and identify gaps within the existing street network • Analyze existing street safety data • Create a list of Complete Streets projects • Build a project prioritization list to assess and rank the lists of potential projects • Review and update Complete Streets design standards and best practices • Coordinate shared -use mobility, mobility evaluation frameworks, first -and -last mile connections, mobility hubs, new travel behaviors, and data sources. 2. BICYCLE & PEDESTRIAN PLANNING Street Plans is excited to lead the scope of work under Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning. We have a long history of working in South Florida, and welcome the opportunity and challenge of making Miami Beach a better city for walking and cycling. Street Plans' Tony Garcia will be the leader for this task. Our firm's vast experience analyzing existing networks to identify, evaluate, and fill network gaps with best practice facilities, combined with the technical expertise of our partners at TYLin and Alta Planning and Design, makes us well -suited to offer a full range of bicycle and pedestrian planning services. Our approach to bicycle and pedestrian plans goes beyond recreation and focuses on how to enable people to use the modes for meaningful transportation. We will examine existing systems, how bicycle and pedestrian planning can complete or complement the existing network and, more importantly, the degree of comfort with which people use existing systems. Our process begins with understanding the existing conditions from the perspective of people walking and bicycling through a review of the crash history and the physical conditions of the network based on GIS data as well as field data collection, observation, and public input.

All recommended improvements will account for the real -world conditions of the street and/or existing facilities, and build upon existing programs and active city projects. Our technical support team members from TYLin and Alta will review the recommendations, provide comments, and add additional insight based on local expertise. TYLin will use context sensitive solution (CSS) approach and best practices to integrate all modes of transportation within a limited right-of-way while adhering to local and state standards. The team's approach will ensure that future travel demand is accommodated on parallel corridors as warranted, safety/ADA features are incorporated in any proposed modification, and that concept design meets the project's purpose. While balancing needs for all modes is important, our team understands that prioritizing pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, vehicular and freight traffic in that order is generally warranted in highly urbanized areas, such as Miami Beach. 164 With their extensive background in work involving active transportation, Alta's traffic engineering skills provide just as much consideration into the safety of all users as is done to ensure efficient vehicular traffic operations. Alta will also provide expert analysis and roadway design to develop a comprehensive network that includes secure bicycle parking that meets latent demand, protected crossing of transit lines, shared mobility integration, and well -designed and effective wayfinding signage. Finally, it is critical that all bicycle & pedestrian planning projects are thoroughly vetted through a public involvement process and have community buy -in. 3. TRAFFIC ENGINEERING & TRAFFIC CALMING Vikas Jain, ACID, GISP from TYLin will lead traffic engineering task work orders assigned through this on -call continuing services contract. Changes to the built environment often involve implications to existing and future traffic operations. Accurately predicting how these changes influence heavy vehicle turning, queuing at intersections, and overall level -of -service can be challenging to understand. TYLin and Alta's traffic engineers understand how these complex issues can impact the surrounding community. Their staff is equipped to accurately model the impacts of new or extended signal phases, new or modified intersection and roadway geometry, and the reduction of travel and/or vehicle turning lanes at a variety of intensities of use. Over the past 10 years, TYLin has served several municipal clients and MPOs/TPOs as their on -call transportation planning and traffic engineering consultant in South Florida. Through these contracts, TYLin has prepared traffic impact analysis for different types of projects, such as lane repurposing studies, development projects, land use plan amendments, and analyzed operational and safety impacts of roadway and transit improvements. In addition, TYLin has reviewed more than 50 traffic impact analysis studies on behalf of cities as part of their Development Review Proposed Corridor Design for 71st Street in North Beach.

Firm principal Mike Lydon, co -wrote The Smart Growth Manual in 2009, and has delivered over 300 keynotes, workshops, and trainings on the subject. Our firm works in large cities and small towns to help communities reimagine their streets and transportation thoroughfares to create new public spaces. At the some time, Street Plans strives to guide the development and expansion of communities with the goal of better coordination of land use and transportation that accommodates pedestrian and bike safety, mobility, enhances public transportation service, improves road network connectivity, and integrates new mobility. Street Plans will produce context -sensitive data and research to inform the city's decision making process. We will integrate smart growth principles to re -shape policy and catalyze change in the Miami Beach community. Amid the rapid change in demographics, population size, and new technologies available, Street Plans will leverage data and metrics to support thoughtful decisions about funding and investment for transportation and land use projects. S. LIVABLE CITIES Street Plans brings national and international industry leadership around traffic safety and strategic planning, and planning and policy around emerging modes and technologies. Mike Lydon of Street Plans will be leading Livable Cities. Sam Schwartz's interdisciplinary project teams identify mobility and infrastructure challenges across all modes and provide creative plans that are grounded in technically rigorous analysis and industry -accepted design standards, supporting larger community goals such as economic development, social equity, environmental health, and quality of life. Street Plans will support Sam Schwartz on this task by providing guidance for transportation and mobility planning decisions. Our team has championed complete streets projects, greenway network projects, smart parking projects and transit improvement projects; all while keeping neighborhoods and commercial areas vital, diverse, and walkable. We will work with the community to identify additional areas for open streets, car -free space, for community health and connection, for the people, by the people. Given our experience working in Florida, Street Plans has the ability to advocate to Miami -Dade County or the State for policy changes, programs, and projects which will make Miami Beach more sustainable, livable, and equitable. 6. SMART CITY PLANNING Over the next several years, the transportation industry will be greatly impacted by changing technology and different user habits, and an increasing need to create more sustainable and equitable systems. SoHo Broadway Public Realm Plan. Street Plans. 166 A team led by CityFi and supported by staff from Alta and Sam Schwartz brings the right mix of experience and ingenuity to help navigate this period of change and plan for the future. Cityfi is a global thought leader in urban mobility, resiliency, technology, and data innovation. Cityfi integrates public policy, urban design, economic development, capacity building, and civic innovation to achieve measurable outcomes to create more livable, sustainable, and efficient communities. Alta has been helping communities explore the appropriate technologies that coordinate active transportation, transit, and new mobility options to meet community goals. Through robust civic engagement, applied research and thoughtful planning, they are harnessing technology benefits while managing risks. Sam Schwartz has experience with rapid transportation innovation and planning for tomorrow. When rideshare services first arrived in the US and driverless vehicles seemed relatively imminent, Sam Schwartz began helping cities plan for potential futures through the use of scenario analysis. Modeling out a range of potential future conditions allowed cities to begin to grapple with what initially seemed like an insurmountable number of unknown factors. Together, these teams will work to: • Create strategies for scaling successful pilots • Propose a governance structure for overseeing smart city efforts • Design an internal and external communications strategy to build awareness and support implementation • Facilitate introductions to local and national organizations, as well as private sector partners for assistance in plan execution • Guide community discussions on goals and vision regarding new technologies such as autonomous vehicles • Conduct impact analysis of new mobility on bicyclists and pedestrians Implement electric vehicle infrastructure plans 7. MULTIMODAL TRANSIT PLANNING A team led by Vikas Jain, AICP, GISP from TYLin and Jarret Walker from Jarret Walker + Associates (JWA) will lead all multimodal and transit planning efforts. TYLin specializes in redesigning existing services to make them more effective, developing new services such as light rail, commuter rail, BRT, and streetcar, and crafting transit master plans that set practical strategies to move transit from today into the future. TYLin has assisted several MPOs throughout the country in developing their long range transportation plans (LRTPs) to meet federal and state funding requirements. While the 20SO LRTP will be developed by Miami -Dade TPO, our team can assist Miami Beach with coordination, identify projects that can be funded through the LRTP process as well as serve as technical advisors. TYLin's experience include preparing multimodal plans for various geographies from neighborhoods to citywide plans to county and regional master plans. TYLin has exhaustive experience using multiple data sources, such as Regional Integrated Transportation Information System (RITIS), Replica, 167 Move Culver City Shared Mobility Lane Pilot Project. Led by Sam Schwartz, Street Plans, and TYLin. Signal Four Analytics, FDOT's CARS amongst others to synthesize information that can be used for decision making. Our approach is to identify CMP supply side and demand side strategies improve efficiency, increase person throughout, and enhance safety for all users of the transportation system. TYLin is mindful of "good congestion" vs. "bad congestion" and will prioritize safety and multimodal improvements over automobile speeds and increasing roadway capacity. TYLin's expertise in mobility management includes developing plans for first and last mile connections, intermodal systems planning and design, congestion management, and mobility hubs. As a result of these efforts, individuals with more limited mobility options gain enhanced access to a broader array of transportation services that better meet their needs. JWA is a leader in transit network planning, policy development, and expert advice. JWA offers the combination of the technical skill to bring together data from across the enterprise, the investigative know-how to produce the most important indicators to inform service design, and the planning expertise to translate that monitoring into concrete, actionable service proposals. JWA offers a number of unique approaches and tools for use in a major service planning processes like the ones requested for in this RFQ: Core Design Retreats. One way that JWA can collaborate with agency staff is through an intensive, creative network design retreat. We worked with Miami Beach staff in developing ideas for route changes for the Beach Trolleys during our work on the Better Bus Network with Miami -Dade Transit and have a deep understanding of the opportunities and challenges in routing and network design in Miami Beach. Interactive web -based reference maps. JWA can put much of the data we use in service planning into an online, interactive format, accessible from any device. This is an excellent tool for clients and their partners to use as they participate in the service planning process. V L sr Alameda Avenue Concept Plan for Onward Alameda, El Paso. Street Plans. • Visualizations of access and opportunity. JWA provides a range of visualization tools to help people grasp the benefits of network design proposals. Operational costing tools. JWA has a detailed set of operational costing tools to assess short and long-term operating costs for small and big network changes. Our detailed costing model has proven successful and estimating revenue hours within 2-3% for major network changes for many clients across the country. Performance Standards. JWA has deep experience working with transit agencies and communities on service and performance standards for transit. We believe that a robust set of performance measures or service standards includes an explanation of why these standards have been chosen, why they matter, and how the standards implement higher level goals or values that matter deeply to the Board, the funding partners, or the public. In short, standards should be about something that matters, and should explain why, if you care deeply about A, you should be interested in performance standard X. 1()R JWA's approach to transit planning in Miami Beach will therefore be driven by the following big imperatives. 1. Break out of silos. While certain mode -specific planning tasks can be done in parallel, an overly segmented approach will fail. Work on transportation planning in Miami Beach will require an especially high level of group thinking: charrettes, working sessions, and other processes that keep everyone focused on the collective space where the only real solutions will occur. 2. Articulate big ideas, but make them meaningful. Big visions get people to see beyond their immediate interests and fears, but they must be more than rhetoric. A useful vision has specific consequences for the difficult trade-offs that must be made. 3. Engage the public in the real choices. Useful public input arises from the public having to think about the real problem. Outreach must say: "Here is the planning problem? What would you do in our place?" Effective outreach must have the courage to frame problems clearly, even if this isn't always what participants want to here. This is in many ways the most critical challenge, and the one on which plans succeed or fail. 8. ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION & MICROMOBILITY Transportation is always evolving, and there are more mobility options than ever before including ride -hailing services, bikeshare, scooter share, e-bikes, and more. It is critical to think about these options not only as new applications of technology but also new ways to connect people. These new micromobility modes of transportation represent innovative responses to the demand for new options and offer an opportunity to: • Provide more mobility choices • Offer last mile and first mile connections • Reduce traffic congestion • Mitigate various forms of pollution • Reduce transportation costs • Improve efficiency of transportation networks • Provide options for those who cannot afford to buy and maintain a vehicle • Offers accessible mobility options for persons of all ages, abilities, and skill levels Street Plans was hired by the City of Jersey City to lead the bikeway design guide. The document outlines the design strategies and infrastructure types that are helping the city rapidly advance cycling and mobility. Street Plans will lead active transportation task work orders assigned through this on -call continuing services contract. For over 10 years, Street Plans has served municipal and regional clients as their on -call active transportation planning consultant. We have prepared over 30 bicycle and pedestrian master plans, strategic trails plans, corridor master plans, and striping plans to advance walking, biking, and transit infrastructure in cities across the United States. In addition, our active transportation work has included key contributions to the bicycle and pedestrian network in South Florida through our Miami Beach Walk/Bike Master Plan, North Beach Master Plan, Coral Gables Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan, Miami Bicycle Master Plan, and the US 1 Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Plan. In this work, Street Plans will be assisted by staff from Alta Planning & Design and Sam Schwartz. Alta brings the same skillset to the current transportation landscape, combined with the experience of having helped numerous cities navigate their way to the forefront of managing Mobility as a Service according to well established goals, objectives and key performance indicators. Sam Schwartz has also worked with cities and agencies across the country to develop 169 groundbreaking initiatives that helped pave the way on the transition to the management of mobility services according to data -driven decision -making processes in support of established public goals. Amid the COVID-19 crisis, Sam Schwartz has provided additional thought leadership on when and how to restart transit ridership and other mobility services according to established science and drawing from our on -the -ground experience in crisis transportation planning during the aftermaths of 9-11, Superstorm Sandy and other major events. With the emergence of micromobility, the bicycle and pedestrian transportation field itself has expanded to include modes of transportation that are completely new to the planning and engineering industry. Sam Schwartz is proud to have collaborated with multiple cities to integrate Bikeshare and scooter share systems and pilot programs. Together, this team will provide national expertise on multimodal safety and integration of transit, bicycles, pedestrians, and new mobility technologies. The team will begin any active transportation work with a thorough review of the city's existing policies, ordinances, documents, plans, and programs to help the project team get an idea of where the city has been, and what the potential is for network improvement and expansion. In addition to reviewing the above, Street Plans will collect and review the city's existing conditions data, such as high crash intersections and corridors, vehicle volume and speed data, topography, transit and neighborhood centers, schools, open space, and any existing repositories the city may have regarding sidewalk, pavement, ADA access, and striping conditions. This data will highlight existing challenges to walking and bicycling across Miami Beach and inform short- and long-term project and program recommendations. Our approach will be coupled with extensive community engagement efforts to identify a vision and vet the strategies that will be most effective and equitable for the community. Once a robust existing conditions analysis and public engagement process has been completed, Street Plans and its subconsultant team will work with the city to identify improvements, projects and programs in the following areas: • Bicycle, Pedestrian, Trails, and Micromobility Plans • Transit First/Last Mile Access • Parking Policy • Design and Implementation of Vision Zero • Complete Streets Policy and Guidelines • Travel Demand Management • New Mobility Technologies • Mobility Hubs • Bikeshare Programs and Bicycle Parking • Wayfinding and Signage 9. TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT Transit -oriented development (TOD) planning requires a deep understanding of the complex system of factors that go into creating successful places. Successful and meaningful TOD planning depends on not only transit and land use expertise, but a deep understanding of multimodal � f!'EAD Protected Bike Lane New Signage designed and installed by Street Plans for the Broward MPO Cor6plete Streets Pilot Program in Deerfield Beach, FL. 17n connectivity that is crucial to developing spaces where people can rely less on cars and more on sustainable and active transportation modes. Improved sidewalks and streetscapes for people walking, enhanced facilities and parking for people biking, upgraded amenities for transit riders, and the right amount of and location for vehicle parking can all increase the long-term success of TOD projects. As demand rises for transit -oriented lifestyles, TOD planning will increasingly require expertise in strategies and tools that ensure everyone benefits and that systems can be flexible in a fast - changing and ever-growing urban landscape. Street Plans Principal Tony Garcia will lead a team of his firm's staff along with team members from Sam Schwartz to provide TOD planning services. Developing specific, implementable transportation recommendations for TOD plans requires in-depth data collection and analysis, as well as robust community engagement. Street Plans and Sam Schwartz bring unmatched expertise in analyzing crash data to identify existing safety issues, conducting gap analyses for people walking and biking, assessing transit performance and operations in existing systems, and evaluating parking supply and demand. We also believe that community and stakeholder engagement is critical for any plan so that we, the planners, can tap into existing knowledge. For this, our team has created several interactive tools (both online and in -person) to gather input on existing transportation issues and opportunities. Once the existing issues and opportunities have been identified, this analysis is used to develop complete, achievable, useful, and realistic recommendations. To do this, we use advanced street design tools, multidisciplinary collaboration, advanced computer modeling, and resource toolkits to create a range of strategies for improving multimodal connectivity within TOD projects. These strategies include: • Policy strategies like eliminating minimum parking requirements or lowering posted speed limits near major transit stations; • Street design improvements such as more frequent and higher -visibility crossings for pedestrians or re -designed intersections that slow turning vehicles and improve safety for people walking and biking; and Public realm enhancements like improved wayfinding and repurposing excess street space for public space. SUPPORT SERVICES 10. SURVEY & SUBSURFACE UTILITY ENGINEERING Manuel G Vera & Associate Inc. (MGV [qualified as DBE, and prequalified in 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, and 8.41), has been providing design survey and right of way mapping services to the Central and South Florida area for over 40 years, servicing FDOT Districts 4 and 6 for over 30 years and the Florida Turnpike Enterprise for over 20 years. This experience includes both stand alone and Districtwide Continuing services contracts. MGV has a thorough understanding of the critical Survey, Right of Way mapping and Subsurface Utility Engineering requirements that will be associated with continuing services (task work order driven) contracts just like this one and more importantly how to successfully address them while meeting and exceeding the city's standards and expectations. With this project, providing comprehensive full design surveys (including Graphic produced for Broadway All The Way Corridor Master Plan. Street Plans. 171 Mobile/Static LiDAR for roadways, buildings, bridges, utility facilities, etc.), establishing/verifying the existing right of way as well as accurately locating existing subsurface utilities within the subject corridors will be critical to the success of this contract. The design survey requirements for this contract will included a variety of design survey and right of way mapping needs. Having a surveying firm with not only the equipment, but just as importantly, the experience gathering, processing, and delivering the scanned information in a detailed, manageable format is critical for the end user/ designer. With over 45 years of providing survey services in the South Florida area, MGV has this experience. MGV will work with the design team to extract only the information they require, in the proper format, allowing for an efficient exchange of accurate information required for a successful design. In addition to the design and right of way survey that may be required, Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) may also be needed. If required, and to accurately locate the existing utilities along the corridor, MG Vera will follow the ASCE 38-02 "Standards Guideline for the Collection and Depiction of Existing Subsurface Utility Data". MGV will provide Quality Level B Utility Designates to horizontally map these utilities and Quality Level A locates (test holes - vertical/horizontal) as required for utility conflict resolution/avoidance. 11. STRIPING PLANS AND SIGNAL DESIGN A technical team formed by TYLin, Sam Schwartz, and Street Plans will lead work related to striping and signing plans and traffic signal design. With technical assistance from TYLin and Sam Schwartz, Street Plans will develop striping plans for projects that involve lane repurposing to accommodate active transportation modes in constrained right-of-way. Our team member, TYLin will provide technical expertise and best practices to integrate all modes of transportation within the right-of-way while adhering to local and state standards. -- ,- vulva IOUIEVARD F 72. 4E 9EF] ]i) (� ffET M Striping Plans produced by Street Plans and TYLin for the Move Culver City Pilot Project. Sam Schwartz has extensive experience in developing context sensitive traffic signalization designs, Signal Operation Plans (SOP), and providing traffic signal construction inspection and support. The traffic signal designs will follow the guidance set forth in the City of Miami Beach Street Design Guidelines, the Miami -Dade County Traffic Signals and Signs design standards, and the FDOT Design Manual, 232 Signalization. We will use our experience accrued on projects across the country to determine the most context sensitive design that safely accommodates all travel modes. Our approach would start with field visits to identify geometric design considerations and behavior trends, collection of survey data and existing signal and roadway plans, coordination with local power companies to determine electrical service parameters, and consistent communication with city staff throughout the design process. Bicycle lane signalization will be designed in accordance with MUTCD Chapter 9D, NACTO Urban Bikeway Design Guide (Signal Section), and the City of Miami Beach Street Design Guidelines. Bicycle signal heads will be used where standalone bicycle path or multiuse path crosses the street, at complex intersections, at intersections with a high number of bicycle and motor vehicle crashes, at intersections near schools, etc. Hybrid warning beacons will be used where bicycle routes intersect 172 a major street, where off-street bicycle facilities intersect major streets without existing signalized crossings, and at midblock crossings of major roadways with high bicycle or pedestrian volumes. Signal detection and actuation will be used and will be consistent with Miami -Dade County's (TS&S Division) upgraded ATMS to support smart city initiatives. We will provide crosswalks, bike boxes, queue boxes, audible/dynamic pedestrian signals, and Leading Pedestrian Intervals (LPIs) when possible. Detectable warning signals will be provided at all edges of all street and bike crossings. Signal timings will be developed to favor bicycle and pedestrian use over traffic flow and will be a function of multimodal network connectivity. Our ultimate deliverable would be a set of construction documents suitable for bid with special provisions, engineers estimate of cost, and traffic signal design plans. Sam Schwartz is quite familiar with the components of traffic signal controller cabinets, ranging from electromechanical to varying types of digital cabinets, encompassing NEMA TS-1, TS-2 (Types I and II), 170 and 2070 ROM models and ATC controllers. SSE is adept at converting timing plans from software solutions such as SYNCHRO to actual on -street controller timings and can make the "tweaks" necessary for a successful conversion. Finally, SSE regularly works with signal equipment vendors as a back -check to verify that a signal is indeed operating as intended. 12.

As expected with walking/biking, most trips start and end within the city, but we see a number of individuals from outside the city limits, most likely biking to Miami Beach. Within Replica, more factors like route used to get to destination, public transportation used to get to destination, purpose of traveling to this destination can all be given. 17S parking by bringing supply, demand, pricing, and location into the proper balance, prioritizing the pedestrian experience in central business districts, managing curb space across an increasing number of competing users, and creating a "park - once" community are all critical to our approach and proven to create happier, healthier urban environments. Our staff is at the forefront of transportation demand management, parking technology, data analytics, adaptive reuse, and parking management policies. Sam Schwartz has an unmatched ability to accurately analyze and present parking data in an engaging and comprehensive manner. Depending on client preferences, a combination of the following datasets will be requested: • Available supply data for on- and off-street facilities • Available historic utilization data for on- and off-street facilities, and when applicable during special events • Existing and historic enforcement data, including hours of enforcement, fine rates, and violation data and trends • Upcoming development projects or plans within and surrounding the community which would affect parking demand • Multimodal data regarding applicable ridership growth or upcoming transit projects in and surrounding, where applicable Based on the goals of the study and available data, Sam Schwartz will plan on working with the client staff to identify and prioritize the most applicable parking surveys. Parking surveys include systemwide inventory and utilization surveys of over 100,000 spaces; 8-hour turnover (license plate) surveys, curbside use monitoring for individual user groups; mode split questionnaires; and vehicle code violation identification. These data can then be used to project future parking needs (ranging from 5 to 30 years) to identify the impact of future development, determine points of absorption, and predict how future commuting trends and emerging technologies will affect long-term parking demand. After working with the community and the client staff to identify a preferred scenario, key Sam Schwartz completed a parking, curbside, and transportation demand management plan for West Palm Beach, FL. patterns, trends, and inconsistencies in parking perceptions can be identified that will guide the recommendations. Based on our analysis and expertise, Sam Schwartz will work with the community and the client staff to evaluate specific strategies to achieve short and long-term parking solutions. This may include the following: • Zoning regulations (including parking maximums) • Curbside management strategies that increase turnover • Off-street strategies that attract more long- term customers • Partnerships with Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) • Transit connection improvements • Operational procedures • Pricing structuring/restructuring, including demand -based pricing • Valet services • Altering enforcement procedures, rates, and technologies • Pursuing shared parking agreements with private parking owners • Parking Access and Revenue Control (PARCS) upgrades and improvements • Signage and wayfinding 176 • Transportation benefit programming • Funding policies and financial tools • Changes or updates in organizational and management procedures • Enforcement parking policy changes such as fee structure, time limits, permits and fines • Transportation benefit programming • Identification of site locations appropriate for new parking facilities Final deliverables will include an implementation matrix outlining steps to execute each recommendation. A summary will be provided of the feasibility, ease of operation, parties involved, community impact, funding opportunities, and time frames ranging from immediate, short-term, and long-term for each line item. Future Proofing Parking: One of the key challenges is achieving a balance between the need to provide adequate parking for the near term and designing for a less auto -dependent future. Accordingly, understanding and accounting for commuting changes associated with emerging transportation technologies will be a key factor in planning for the future parking needs. Sam Schwartz is a national leader in this field, with an entire department dedicated to creating 21st century transportation strategies and advising public and private clients on how to effectively integrate shared mobility services and leverage mode changes to shape sustainable development long-term. We will apply our expertise in this field to determine the long-term parking demand anticipated and develop strategies to incorporate emerging transportation technologies. 16.

Services offered by Ecostrata Services include: Grants and Fundraising: Their staff has helped bring over $70 million dollars in funding to South Florida in the last 15 years. That is thanks to meticulous funding research, attention to detail, and highly competitive funding applications. While they work on many types of grant applications, they specialize in capital projects for municipalities: parks, tree plantings, large equipment purchases, transportation infrastructure, and stormwater projects.

ECONOMIC & EQUITY ANALYSIS This work will be led by Jarret Walker & Associates (JWA), and supported by Alta. In many of cities where we work, we are joining a conversation about historical or current injustice. People are demanding a more just or equitable city, and want the transit system to be part of that change. JWA will use cutting -edge analysis and visualization tools to help the City of Miami Beach understand the potential impacts of a transportation network change, especially on vulnerable people. JWA will also carry out studies of access to places people value such as grocery stores or medical enters; and capture details like timed connections between infrequent buses or different speeds for different transit lines. Alta will provide economic evaluation tools to help express the full range of health, environmental, economic, and mobility benefits of multimodal transportation plans and projects. Alta delivers compelling economic analyses to help communicate the value of active transportation costs and benefits in clear, practical terms to build broad -based support from residents, businesses, local leadership, and potential funders. Our tools and models help supplement grant applications by making the case for future investments in walking and bicycling infrastructure and they provide a data -driven process for project prioritization. For trail and greenway projects, Alta can forecast future use of a planned alignment and translate projected walking and bicycling activity into potential community health benefits, tourism expenditures, and changes in property values. For regional and citywide active transportation plans, Alta can estimate regional vehicle emissions reductions and transportation cost savings that would result if bicycling and walking mode share goals were achieved. 17R
