5 SECTION D Project Approach and Understanding RFQ # 21-11-01 PROFESSIONAL PLANNING AND ZONING CONSULTING SERVICES, CIVIL AND TRAFFIC ENGIEERING As a multi-disciplinary Planning and Engineering firm, Corradino specializes in: Urban Planning, Public Engagement, Traffic Engineering and Planning, Roadway Design, Civil Engineering, Water and Wastewater Design, Airport Planning, Program Management and Construction Engineering and Inspection. Our team is equipped to provide all services listed in the City’s RFQ: ● Site Master Planning, Analysis and Design ● Planning and Urban Design ● Traffic Engineering and Transportation Consulting ● Civil/Environmental Engineering ● Evaluation and Design We understand that this is a General Services Contract and, as such, our approach is to be ready to provide services at a moment’s notice when they are needed. Corradino is highly-experienced in working for municipalities. We have helped newly-incorporated cities develop their initial planning departments, comprehensive plans, and zoning codes. We have served as staff and department directors. We are experts in working in development review, specifically in a “cost recovery” system. We review all city applications (zoning permits, site plans, variances, conditional uses, traffic impact analysis, and civil engineering reviews) and understand the time-sensitive nature of this responsibility. We complete the reviews and staff reports within the time allotted by the code. Our team has managed Developments of Regional Impact (DRIs) and the associated Notices of Proposed Changes that make up their amendment processes. We have prepared hundreds of large-and small-scale comprehensive plan amendments and have administered and amended land development and zoning codes. We provided services as interim Planning Director and staff in Islamorada after Hurricane Irma, and we helped Islamorada select their new Director. We have also worked with numerous coastal cities on their Evaluation and Appraisal Reports (EARs). Corradino has performed transportation master plans for cities across the region. We have provided design for all types of municipal infrastructure, including water management, traffic calming, and streetscape improvements. We have also bid and managed the construction of that infrastructure on behalf of our clients. Corradino maintains impeccable relationships with agencies at all levels-of-government and can assist the City when there is a need to interact with them. For the development review aspect of this work, for cities with a Cost-Recovery Process, where applicants pay for review services, Corradino typically works on a pre-approved hourly rate schedule. For city-initiated assignments, an individual work order can be authorized for each, or a general work order for all manner of assignments can be opened, specifying an amount, the number of hours expected each week and a provision that the fee amount, or the hours won’t be exceeded without written authorization. When needed, we can provide a dedicated staff member(s) to be present in any department to hold regular office hours, as agreed upon by City staff. In addition, we can provide support staff to work remotely, if overflow occurs. Our “bench” of planners is deep, and we can accommodate periods of increased activity, as well as scale back as the workflow slows.
