PROJECT MANAGER'S EXPERIENCE
Bill Rosenberg, President of ROSENBERG DESIGN GROUP, will serve as project
manage{ for this project. Mr. Rosenberg has over twenty eight years of experience as a
landscape architect and land planner in South Florida.
He has served as a principal-in-charge and project manager on park projects from 600
acre state parks to regional and community parks to neighborhood parks, often
coordinating the efforts of an entire design team of architects, engineers and
environmentalists, carrying the project from master planning through contract
administration.
As a landscape architect and then as Chief of Planning and Research for Dade County
Park and Recreation Department, Bill Rosenberg is familiar with the conditions inherent
in landscaping of public spaces where maintenance budgets are minimal, and the areas
are subject to intensive wear. In that capacity, it was his responsibility to prepare for and
deliver presentations to public agencies, homeowner groups and other interested citizens.
As a former member and vice chairman of the City of Miami Beach's Design Review
Board for its first seven years, Bill Rosenberg is familiar with the City's goals to improve
its physical environment.

location, renovations will occur on a rotating basis in each area. This will allow
local residents to maintain the use of other parks in their area while one is
being renovated. We are also INOrking with the city to unify all site furnishings
and fixtures. Not only will this establish a cohesive look for the city and each
park, it will result in a one-
time-only bid and purchase
effort.

Description of Work: The Jupiter Beach/A 1A
corridor is a three-mile stretch of scenic beachfront
I roadway. When the Town of Jupiter wanted to
improve this recreational corridor, they retained the
I! services of "Kim ley-Horn to provide a master plan. In
I order to address the variety of issues that impact
the Town's beachfront, we coordinated extensively
I with the Town of Jupiter and the Beach Committee,
a group of citizens appointed by the Town Council.
,I Coordination with Palm Beach County was also
, I necessary to obtain approval for all enhancements. Project enhancements
include a designated bicycle lane on both sides of the right-of-way, pedestrian
I walkways with ocean lookout points, refurbished and enhanced landscaping,
and beach portals adjacent to dune walkovers. Extensive coordination with
I' the Department of Environmental Resource Management (DERM) and Florida
Department of Environmental Protection Agency (DEP) was necessary
I because of the fragile environment represented by the beach area and the
dune system. Precautions, which included restructuring parking, will minimize
the impact of beach-goers on the delicate ecosystems that have already been
showing signs of deterioration. To allow for the existing conditions and natural
features of the dunes, multiple landscape designs were interspersed along the
entire corridor. These enhancements will not only improve the transportation
system along the Jupiter Beach/A 1A recreational corridor, but will provide a
much needed protection for the dune and its ecosystems.

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

Description of Work: The revitalization of Miami Beach's North Shore is
tuming around years of decline. Encouraged by the City's extensive citywide
program to improve the infrastructure, streetscape, and landscape
architecture of the area's streets and sidewalks, investors are pouring
millions into the evolution of North Beach, a transformation they hope will
rival the success of trendy South Beach a few miles away. Since 1989,
Kimley-Hom's work with the City of Miami Beach has been critical to
establishing the roadway and streetscape elements upon which this
revitalization will build. The firm has provided streetscape design, urban
design, landscape architecture, utilities and drainage design, roadway
engineering, transportation-related services, and construction phase services
for three miles of improvements. Altogether, projects valued at about $300
million are under construction or planned for North Beach by 2000, according
to Donald Shockey, executive director of the North Beach Development
Corporation. Renovated hotels, restaurants, and night clubs are the main
focus of development efforts, and condominiums are also appearing on once
empty lots. Enhancing pedestrian areas has been an emphasis during this
$16.5 million program, and Ocean Terrace, which fronts the beach and
Atlantic Ocean, now boasts sidewalks wide enough to accommodate outdoor
cafes as well as pedestrian traffic. Kimley-Horn's assistance to the city has
also included designating a special assessment district covering the roadway
corridor that included over 300 property owners. In addition to building strong
local consensus for the project, we assisted the city in obtaining over $7.5
million in funding from sources outside the city. Now essentially complete, the
North Shore roadway improvements have established a solid foundation for a
revitalized North Beach.

program employs a multi-phase condition assessment approach beginning
with broad program development and proceeding with successively
narrowing targets of further study and ultimate reconstruction of only those
portions of the sanitary system that would provide substantial, cost-effective
1/1 elimination. The initial study identified 6.5 million gallons per day (MGD) of
infiltration into the system that is cost-effective to remove. In subsequent
phases we identified the sources of the III, designed corrective
rehabilitations, and are ultimately overseeing the construction. Nearly
500,000 LF of sanitary sewer has been investigated, and more than 300,000
LF has been recommended for rehabilitation. Kimley-Hom's extensive effort
in preparing the plans and specification for this project have resulted in
contract unit prices that are the lowest in the country. To date, more than 80
percent of the recommended pipe rehabilitation has been completed, with the
greatest sources of III being addressed first. This rehabilitation has resulted
in eliminating about 80 percent of the estimated 6.5 MGD of III from the
sanitary sewer system. Once complete, this III reduction program will save
the City an estimated $2.1 million per year in reduced treatment costs.

improvements associated with new high-rise developments along Collins
Avenue. We met a tight project schedule to ensure that sewer line services to
the Lowe's Convention Center Hotel were constructed in time for the hotel
opening. Construction of the hotel, and Florida Power and Light (FP&L)
system improvements ran concurrently with our utility improvements. We
coordinated closely with Lowe's Development Corporation and FP&L to
provide them acc.ess to their sites, and to keep vehicular and pedestrian
traffic flowing. After meeting with area stakeholders, we devised an
innovative maintenance-of-traffic plan that minimized inconveniences to the
public. We also scheduled nighttime construction to reduce traffic impacts.
Before we completed the project, we provided restoration to sidewalks, curbs

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