7 he Normandy Shores Streetscape Beautification Project being undertaken by the City
of Miami Beach is critical to maintaining the high quality of life in the area. Continued
growth and aging infrastructure are driving the need for this ambitious program consisting
of water, sewer, storm drainage, street lighting, traffic calming, and other traffic enhance-
ment projects.
The CH2M HILL Team, consisting of CH2M HILL; Kimley-Horn and Associates; Carney-
Neuhaus, Inc.; and the Rosenberg Design Group, has been especially formed to help the
City implement targeted improvements for the project. Not only did members of our team
develop the stormwater management plan upon which much of this project is based, but
we have successfully teamed together on many similar projects, providing the continuity
and synergy that the City seeks in its consultants.
In this section, we present the experience of the CH2M HILL Team that has prepared us to
deliver the City's project. Our team's combined resources and experience make it possible
to provide the City of Miami Beach with any level of support that might be needed for the
proposed Streetscape Beautification Project.

CH2M HILL has been providing storm-
water, water, wastewater, and transporta-
tion-related services for 53 years. Our
mission is "making technology work to help
our clients build a better world," which
meshes well with the City's vision, mission,
and values. As the country's third largest

Staff
CH2M HILL consists of a network of 120
offices staffed by nearly 10,000 people
worldwide. Our staff provides comprehen-
sive services for water and wastewater
system master planning, program manage-
ment, treatment, transmission, and dis-
posal. Within these broad areas are experts
in the technical, regulatory, and financial
disciplines necessary for effective long-
range planning of the City's water, waste-
water needs, and stormwater.
Our personnel are also available in a wide
range of other disciplines, including instru-
mentation and controls (I&C), computer-
aided design and engineering (CAD/CAE),
g'~~E~
design, and eighth largest transportation
engineering firm (Engineering News-Record,
April 2000), we can provide the City with all
the resources, skills, and leadership neces-
sary for delivery of its Streetscape Beautifica-
tion Project. These services will be provided

Project Experience
Since its founding, CH2M
Hill has conducted more
than 60,000 engineering,
management, and scientific
projects, of which approxi-
mately 65 percent have been
water., wastewater-, or
stormwater-related. In the
past 10 years, this translates
into 8,500 municipal waste-
water and stormwater
p-rojects and 10,000 munici-
pal water projects.
Currently, CH2M HILL has
600 active projects in
Florida, ranging from single-
day deliverables to multi-
decade programs.
At this time, the Deerfield
Beach office has 147 active
projects.
Because we have performed
thousands of projects over
the past 5 years, we have
elected to list only the most
relevant projects being led by
our project teom members as
they best demonstrate our
ability to deliver the City's
project. We would be glad to
furnish a complete listing of
projects to the City, upon
request. None of the projects
listed below or any of the
other projects performed by
CH2M Hlll:s Deerfield Beach
office in the past 5 years
have encountered legal
claims because of errors
and/or omissions or a breach
of professional ethics, nor
have any such claims been
settled out of court.
The projects below are being
performed for municipal,
county, and private industry
and regional governments,
and will in no woy offect
delivery of the City of Miami
Beach's project. Should
additional resources be
needed, our teams's more
than 500 Florida staff are
available to provide support.

7 he CH2M Hill Team brings the optimal blend of experience to the Normandy Shores
project. CH2M Hill has designed and overseen construction for stormwuter manage-
ment and water and wastewater conveyance facilities for communities coast-to-coast and
even worldwide. Kimley-Horn is respected nationally for its provision of quality transporta-
tion-related engineering services, while Carney-Neuhaus is a local leader in civil engineer-
ing design. Also, the Rosenberg Design Group is highly respected for its innovative urban
planning services throughout south Florida. Our combined experience will provide the
support that the City seeks from its consultant for the Normandy Shores Streetscape Beauti-
fication Project.
In this section, we present the projects that best demonstrate aur ability to successfully
deliver the City of Miami's project. Where possible, we have included the estimated con-
struction costs in addition to the actual construction cost. In a recent survey of our Water
Business Group's projects, on the average, our construction costs were within 10 percent of
the engineer's estimate. While we cannot guarantee this level of accuracy on every project,
it is a good indication of the quality of our cost estimating skills.

CH2M Hill began working for the City
Miami Beach in 1995. At that time the City
entered into an inter-local agreement with
16 other municipalities in Miami-Dade
County to act as the lead permittee in
submitting an NPDES stormwater permit
application. When the permit was issued in
1995, Miami Beach selected CH2M Hill
to implement the requirements of the
NPDES permit and implement stormwater
improvements.
CH2M Hill worked with staff to identify the
components of the stormwater master plan
and prepare a series of technical memo-
randa ultimately incorporated as attach-
ments to the final document. CH2M Hill
finalized the City's Comprehensive
Stormwater Master Plan ic March 1997 and
included a 5-year capital improvement plan,
a stormwater planning and procedures
manual, a hydrologic/hydraulic analysis of
the piping systems within the 37 priority

analysis, and an aperation
and maintenance plan. The
master plan adopted and
altered the County's flood
and water quality level of
service guidelines and
established minimum levels
of service for the City to
establish in retrofitting the
existing drainage system.
The Stormwater Master Plan
established 37 priority
starmwater drainage basins
within the City of Miami
Beach, where improvements
were necessary, a significant
contribution to the City's
infrastructure. This list was
established based on com-
plaints received from resi-
dents, longstanding opera-
tions and maintenance
issues, and in areas where
the City could make the
greatest impact to alleviate
flooding problems and
improve the quality of the
surface water entering
Biscayne Bay. I ncluded with
the listing were cost estimates
associated with the proposed
improvements and a prelimi-
nary schedule of stormwater
utility rate increases necessary
to fund the proposed im-
provements.

In addition, CH2M HILL
prepared the ordinance and
assisted staff with the presen-
tation before the Commission
to establish the utility. The
independent utility was
successfully established in
1997. Since that time,
CH2M HILL has worked with
staff to finalized the capital
improvement plan, has
prepared a rate study report
and engineer's report, and
assisted the City's financial
director with issuing the 2000
series dedicated Stormwater
Revenue Bond. The bonds

In addition to the administra-

managing the stormwater
utility, CH2M HILL has
conducted various investiga-

and designs for the City of
Miami Beach. Investigations
have included identifying the
problems in discrete areas of
flooding, inspecting
stormwater outfalls, and
preparing a memorandum
summarizing alternative
methods of sediment disposal
for waste material removed
from catch basins.
CH2M HILL has conducted
approximately 10 preliminary
design activities throughout
Miami Beach. These investi-
gations were used to collect
physical data necessary to
prepare design documents.
Field data included conduct-
ing geotechnical investiga-
tions, inspections of outfall
systems, percolation testing,
mapping of buried utilities,

CH2M HILL has acted as an
extension of the City's staff to
educate and inform the
residents of Miami Beach.
CH2M HILL has addressed
numerous community organi-

compliance issues and the
need to raise storm water
utility fees to support the
stormwater bonds.
CH2M HILL also partici-

During the drafting of the
master plan, it became
apparent that the City could
not sell bonds because the
stormwater utility was under
the control of Miami-Dade
County. CH2M HiLL assisted
the City with successfully
petitioning Miami-Dade
County to release the City
from the County umbrella
and to permit the establish-
ment of an independent
utility.

CH2M HILL has been provid-
ing general engineering
consulting services to the City
of Fort Lauderdale Public
Services Department sinql
1991.
The City of Fort Lauderdale
Public Services Department
recognized and responded to
the need to provide the
highest quality water and
wastewater services at the
lowest practical cost to its
customers. To accomplish
this, the Department sought
to optimize the operations
and management of the
City's water and wastewater
facilities and improve the
efficiency and effectiveness of
the Department's manage-
ment practices. The Depart-
ment adopted a cooperative
labor/management approach
to identifying and effecting
the changes desired.
CH2M HILL worked with and
under the direction of the
City's Re-Engineering Steer-
ing Committee Utilizing

Empowerment (RESCUE).
This was the first step in the
development of a 3- to 5-
year plan of action for
accomplishing the desired
changes. An initial meeting
with RESCUE identified eight
primary goals for the Optimi-
zation and Re-Engineering
Project.
CH2M HILL examined the
specific technical practices
and established the baselines
for re-engineering and
optimization of the operation
and maintenance (O&M)
practices at the Fiveash and
Peele/Dixie WTPs, the G.T.
Lohmeyer WWTp, wastewater
pumping stations, and raw
water wellfields. These
baselines were developed by
benchmarking other public
and private facility perfor-
mance as well as evaluating
existing data at each facility.
Monetary and non-monetary
performance measures for
the facilities were established
to enable tracking and
measurement of re-engineer-
~p''''.''
ing progress. Performance
measures helped identify
both long-term and short-
term improvements.
CH2M HILL identified and
listed potential process
improvements and opera-
tional efficiencies, as well as
provided a cost-benefit
analysis. To ensure that the
optimization process ad-
dressed all internal and
external needs and issues, a
strategy was developed and
implemented for effective
employee and customer
communications. A report
was prepared for each
facility, documenting low and
high value options for im-
provement. Both current and
pending regulatory changes
were identified and their
impacts on facility processes
were analyzed.

Since 1986, CH2M HILL has
been working closely with
Monroe County, the City of
Key West, the Florida Keys
Aqueduct Authority (FKM),
and a multitude of stake-
holder grou ps to seek ways
to improve the wastewater
treatment and sewerage
systems that are contributing
-to ~he-<legradation of the reef
and surrounding waters of
the Keys.
As the FKM general water
resources consultant since
1984, CH2M HILL devel-
oped the Authority's overall
master plan to develop and
upgrade water supply,
treatment, and transmission
facilities. This plan formed
the basis of an ongoing $30
million phased C1P for
FKAA's water system. We
provided planning, d..sign,
and construction phase
services under a conventional

The unique nature of the
FKM water system requires
innovative planning and
design to ensure flexibility
and reliability of system
components under pot<!ntially
severe weather conditions.
FKAA's mainland Florida City
WTP pumps treated ground-
water all th.. way to Key West
through a 130-mile transmis-
sion pipeline that supplies
each island's local storage

design and construction of
new transmission pump
stations and pipelines;

in the development of final
design details will involve
working with local neighbor-
hoods and the City Commis-
sion to gain public accep-
tance.
CH2M HILL assisted the City
of Gainesville with the
evaluation, final design, and
permitting of a flood control
levee located next to a large,
natural wetlands in the
downstream area of a major
watershed system. A neigh-
borhood next to the wetlands
was subject to
periodic backwater
flooding. This
flooding had wors-
ened as the up-
stream areas of the
watershed were
developed. The
purpose of this
evaluation and
design was to protect
this neighborhood
from flooding
without increasing
flooding to areas
next to the wetland.

Working with the City of
Miami Beach, EOA W, Inc.
prepared the Beachfront
Vision 2000 Master Plan. The
master plan provides a
framework for beach improve-
ments from South Beach to
47" Street. In association
with BennelloAjamil and
Partners, EOA W developed a
program to improve the
beach's image by comprehen-
sively examining the issues
of security, entryways,
concessions operations and
standards, and the historic
character of beach facilities
architecture and landscape.
The plan provides opera.
tional and design standards
for beach concessions.
Beach improvements are
planned arOund gateways
that are the primary access
routes to the beach. These
gateways provide additional
facilities for concessions,
restrooms and security.
Graphic and design stan-
dards for beach furniture,
signs and beach structures
are proposed.
EOA W worked with the
Steering Committee, com-
prised of business and civic
leaders, to organize the
Cl itical role of design and
programming of the gateway
amenities and the compre-
hensive master planning
process. The plan includes
recommendations and an
implementation schedule to
launch the restructuring of
Miami Beach's image into the
new millenium.

The Lancaster Corridor has
long influenced the
development of Fort Worth
and its downtown area. Now,
with the imminent removal of
Interstate 30 over pass along
Lancaster Avenue between 1-
35 W and Henderson Street,
Fort Worth has an
unprecedented opportunity
to recapture the importance
of this great street in the
heart of downtown Fort
Worth.
The challenge facing
Lancaster Avenue and the
City of Fort Worth is the
creation of a vibrant and
functional urban district that
provides acceptable levels of
transportation movement and
fosters new development.
The consuhant team, led by
EDA W, is working closely
with the City of Fort Worth,
the Lancaster Steering
Committee, the Lancaster
Advisory Committee, and the
public to develop a
Framework Plan that solves
site-specific problems and
sets the direction for future

creating the historic southern
edge of downtown Fort
Worth.
The design includes four
lanes for traffic, 20' wide
pedestrian sidewalks,
gardens and plazas fronting
on the historic structures
along the street.
The cowboy modem

EDAW developed an urban
design plan and streetscape
master plan for the West
Main Street Cultural Arts
District, a seven-block
neighborhood comprised of
modern office towers,
cultural facilities, and the
nation's second largest
historic cast-iron district.
The plan sought to unify the
street from west to east and
also to highlight the cultural
facilities and the unique
architecture of the cast iron
historic district.
The urban design plan
focused on preservation of
scale and character, while
allowing for new growth and
encouraging downtown-to-
river pedestrian movement.
The streetscape plan
focused on elements in the
landscape that could both
unify and provide identity
for the district. Of special
importance were historical
features which were ex-
pressed as interpretive
markers, pavement sculp-
tures, and site furnishings,
The site furnishings featured
materials found in the
architecture, such as cast
iron, terra cotta, and lime-
stone.
To create identity, the site
furnishings were designed at
key intersections and at

proposed, including feature

decorative lighting at key
intersections; and a fiber
optic element that would run
the entire length of the
seven-block district.

Hosting the 1996 Centennial
Olympic Games ignited a
spirit of urban renewal and
civic pride in th~ City of
Atlanta that inspired Centen-
nial Olympic Park. The 21-
acre ~ark is a legacy to the
vision and alliJDce of the City
of Atlanta, the State of
Georgia, the Atlanta Commit-
tee for the Olympic Games,
and the many civic organiza-
tions, 3pecial interest groups,
and designers involved,
Centennial Olympic Park is
designed as a permanent
downtown revita-
lization feature, Thematically,
it imprints a landscape "quilt"
into the fabric of city streets
to "convey the cultural
heritage ofthe American
South and Atlanta's reputa-
tion as the 'City of Trees'."
The pattern of existing city
streets is woven into the park
plan, creating destination-
bound pedestrian prom-
enades. Located at the
eastern gateway to the
Georgia World Congress
Center/Georgia Dome
complex, the park links
convention facilitiesto the
city's lively hotel and market
district.

Resort Area Improvement
Program to breathe new life
and vigor into the popular
vacation destination '5
commercial heart and main
arterial street, Atlantic
Avenue.
Hotels line Atlantic Avenue's
eastern side, facing the
ocean, while retail shops and
restaurants provide
entertainment along its
western side. The project
scope was comprehensive,
encompassing all elements of
streetscape design, utility
relocation and burial, and the
design of "connector parks,"
Thematically, each park
focuses on a different aspect
of beach and resort life;
functionally, the parks
convert cross streets into
safe and attractive
pedestrian links between
Atlantic Avenue and the

EDAW was chosen by the
Midtown Alliance Public
Spaces Program to provide
streetscape and open space
design improvements for
West Peachtree Street in
Midtown, Atlanta. As prime
consultant of the design
team, which includes
transportation and civil
engineers, EDA W provided
schematic design recommen-
dations for the improvement
of a 13 street block corridor
stretching from North '
Avenue to 14" Street. EDAW
coordinated with several key
stakeholders along the
corridor, including BeUSouth,
Georgia Tech, the Biltmore,
and Post Properties. Future
development played a critical
role in developing a visionary
master plan for the future of
this major one-way artery
through Midtown. The
EDA W design team recom-
mended paraUel parking on
both sides of the street,
reducing the number of traffic
lanes from six to four.

buidout will include approxi-
mately 1.5 million square feet
ofretaiVentertainment.5
million square feet of office,

is "Live, Work, Play", Its mix
of new housing and the
anticipated creation of20,000
jobs in the area have gar-
nered special attention from

In recent years, a "call to
arms" for a revitalized Indian
Creek corridor has issued
forth from individuals and
groups with a stake in the
future of Miami Beach:
community residents,
business owners, civic
leaders, and residents of
adjacent areas. In response
to this vocal and broad-
based call for action, the City
of Miami Beach invited
EDAW's 19th Annual
Summer Student Program
(SSP) to Miami Beach for an
intensive, two-week work-
shop in June of 1999, For
members of the EDA W SSP
team, the objectives of the
workshop were to listen to
the concerns and goals of the
community's stakeholders,
document their vision of a
beautified corridor, and
provide overall planning and
design recommendations for
a 2.5-mile-long corridor
between 23rd and 67th
Streets in Miami Beach.
The workshop culminated in
preparation of a master vision
for the Indian Creek
Greenway, which was
presented in draft form to
community members. As
offered in this document in a
refmed form, the Indian Creek
Greenway Master Plan is
intended to inspire a true
public/private partnership in
the community that will, in
turn, result in the successful
implementation of physical,
natural, and ecological
improvements to the Indian
Creek.

To address the
challenges and
opportunities
presented by the
Indian Creek
Greenway project,
EDA W assembled a
diverse,
multidisciplinary
team. Through a
competitive selection
process, the SSP brought
together 14 students from
seven countries and 13
universities, respresenting
academic backgrounds in the
areas of landscape architec-
ture, urban design, commu-
nity and regional planning,
environmental planning and
biology,
During the two-week
workshop, project team
members collaborated with
the National Park Service's
Indian Creek Greenway
Project Team (an effort
through their Rivers, Trails &
Conservation Assistance
Program). In addition, the
team worked with the Indian
Creek Advisory Committee,

ANALYSIS:
Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. 134-99/00 was issued to obtain qualifications of professional
firms with the capability and experience to provide professional planning, urban design, landscape
architecture and engineering services for design, construction documents, bidding, and construction
administration of streetscape and utility improvements in the following neighborhoods:
(1) STAR, PALM & HIBISCUS ISLANDS
(2) NORMANDY SHORES
(3) BA YSHORE
(4) OCEANFRONT
The purpose of these neighborhood streetscape projects is to provide for the restoration and
enhancement of the each neighborhood's streets, consistent with identified needs and the
community's desires as expressed during the Neighborhood Planning Meetings held from March
through June of2000. Each of the proposed projects will include streetscape work with restoration
and enhancement of the neighborhood's street lighting, potable water, sanitary sewer, and storm
drainage infrastructure as needed. The specific project description for each neighborhood is as
follows:
Star, Palm and Hibiscus Islands Project Description: Star, Palm and Hibiscus Islands consist of
a single-family residential area. The project consists of providing streetscape improvements within
an allocated budget, following a priority list submitted by area residents to include: sidewalks, curb
and gutter, landscaping and irrigation, paving/resurfacing and markings, signage, parking layout,
traffic calming, street lighting and drainage improvements. An evaluation of existing utilities may
necessitate upgrading or replacement of water, lead services and sewer infrastructure as part of the
