He has produced landscape architecture construction documents that encompass tree survey and tree disposition plans, hardscape layouts and details, grading plans, planting plans, lighting plans and irrigation plans. Additionally, he is well versed in LEED requirements, 'Florida Friendly Landscaping' guidelines, Green Book Standards and FDOT design standards and indexes. Additionally, his input is key in site inventory and analysis, coordinating with our Survey Department to establish the location and species of trees and appraising the dollar value of such trees, which is paramount in the process of developing tree disposition plans followed by landscape plans that preserve existing trees and vegetation.
<br />RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE
<br />Atlantic Boulevard Streetscape Improvements, Margate, FL: As part of the City of Margate strategic plan KEITH provided landscape architecture design concepts, civil engineering, planning, survey, utility coordination, and traffic engineering services. Project administration, construction management and documentation, permitting, and maintenance guidelines and specifications were also provided by the team. The CRA requested the KEITH Team develop a branded approach to several of the city's ROW and streetscapes. The request includes multiple miles of streetscape, medians, walls, walkways, landscaping, lighting, signage and a signature fountain feature. The team worked to create a brand or identity that can be utilized throughout the City in these public realm areas. The signature element for this streetscape initiative is the addition of a roundabout and fountain feature. KEITH had to work around existing infrastructure items and yet was able to develop a creative approach for the fountain. The result was a combination of water, sculpture, landscape and hardscape to make a statement for the City and CRA of Margate. Cost: $93,000.00
<br />City of Hollywood Arts & Cultural Center, Hollywood, FL: KEITH is providing services associated with the redevelopment and renovations for the Cultural Arts Center in the City of Hollywood, Florida including expansion of the building and reconfigured parking lot. KEITH is assisting with the site plan and development for all of the improvements. Services include surveying and mapping, civil engineering services including paving, grading and drainage, water distribution and sanitary sewer plans, stormwater prevention, hardscape and paving, landscape design, and irrigation design, as well as construction observation. Cost: $53,000.00
<br />Colonial Drive Traffic Calming, Margate, FL: KEITH provided Phase 1 of traffic calming, pedestrian routing, and streetscape improvements containing approximately 500-LF of local roadway. The project scope included schematic drawings of existing conditions, concept drawings considering potential lane modifications, road geometry adjustments, landscaping, street lighting, pavement enhancements, other improvements aimed at enhancing pedestrian crossing experience, cost estimates, and coordination meetings. Cost: $50,745.00
<br />DC Alexander Park, Fort Lauderdale, FL: DC Alexander Park in Fort Lauderdale Beach is the result of careful and thorough analysis of the site, its context - historic and present, its users, and the needs of the community. At over 1 acre in area prominently located on Fort Lauderdale Beach adjacent to the Aquatic Center and International Swimming Hall of Fame, the project includes a signature architectural overlook and playground within a plaza complete with resilient dune plantings and carefully planned stormwater infrastructure. The team lead by KEITH analyzed shoreline habitat and behavior while considering the unknown and inevitable – sea level rise and climate change. The project is a case study in practical and creative applications of storm water mitigation practices resulting in a design that reflects and embraces the social and economic needs of the local community. This award-winning project balances ‘design for people’ and ‘design with nature’ and is a testament to the value of comprehensive research, exploration, and analysis phases. The Park is anticipated to begin construction in 2022. Cost: $319,761.00
