yNNNY „ r o� PEDELTA Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design ("CPTED") Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design initiatives have been taken into account throughout the development of the design. A key starting point was to keep the new bridge and landing structures as open and transparent as possible, limiting above -deck structure to an absolute minimum to maximize uservisibility, both on and approaching the bridges. Practical and achievable CPTED strategies that have been integrated into the design include the following: Natural Surveillance ("See and Be Seen") • Minimizing above deck structure and view obstructions. • Maximizing transparency of barriers and railings without compromising safety. • Strategic Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission lighting of pathways meeting the regulations of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to prevent light -pollution affecting sea turtles. • Limiting landscaping adjoining pathways to maximize clear sightlines. • Developing/encouraging uses capable of generating activity —seating areas on the bridge and amphitheater and potential interpretive areas. Natural Access Control Using design to clearly "direct the flow" and intuitively provide guidance for how people should use the space. • Locating paths on natural "desire lines" and clearly defining pathways to encourage pedestrians and cyclists to stay on paths when moving through the space and landings. • Discouraging unwanted entry to underside of Amphitheater through illumination faced way from the beach. Territorial Reinforcement • Design features that will develop a sense of Ownership and pride within users that use the space regularly such as high-quality design, seating, using tactile materials like stone and wood, and providing "Bridge" identity. Maintenance • Develop a formal CPTED-based maintenance plan to help maintain all design elements to a level of functionality, quality and finish that will preserve value for the Owner and keep the crossing safe for all users. Budgeting and Cost Control Pedelta Team's experience in bridges of similar nature and local experience in South Florida will ensure that the project is built within the allocated budget ($13M). Pedelta will bring to the City of Sunny Isles its recent experience in the Snowden pedestrian bridge (Miami Dade County) and the Garrison Crossing. The later project includes two pedestrian bridges in Stainless-steel of similar length including over 1,000 ft path and landscaping with a total budget of $12.5M. Pedelta will develop a budget estimate at the beginning of the design process together with the City of City of Sunny Isles Beach Request for Qualifications No. 20-10-01 -21-
