Hi <br />C <br />LI <br />Fi <br />Sunny Isles Beach RFQ No. 14 -07 -02 <br />Landscape P.rchitecture <br />Palmetto Bay Municipal Center <br />Village of Palmetto Bay, Florida <br />Client name: Village of Palmetto Bay <br />Description of the scope of work: The net- zero <br />Palmetto Bay Municipal Center is the first LEED Plati- <br />num municipal building in Florida. The two -story <br />24,000 sf center sits on 3.3 acres and houses the po- <br />lice station, building dept., offices and council cham- <br />bers. Practicing fundamental principles of urban design <br />and public space planning, ORDA strived to create a <br />walkable urban environment for the Village's new civic <br />center. The Bismark palm court acts as the main con- <br />nector between the parking facilities to the East and <br />the Palm plaza, the project's formal entrance plaza fea- <br />turing works from the Village's collection of Art in Pub- <br />lic Places program. The Palm plaza features a bold and <br />vivid geometric palm leaf motif enclosed by a collection <br />of stately Canary Island Date Palms which frame the <br />plaza and building entrances. The sustainable land- <br />scape includes native and indigenous drought tolerant <br />plant material and the irrigation system is fed from a <br />cistern that collects water from the permeable paving <br />system. <br />Total Cost of project: $3,000,000 <br />Project Manager: Kathy O'Leary Richards, ASLA <br />Role of firm and responsibilities: ORDA was com- <br />missioned to provide landscape architectural services <br />which included conceptual design through construction <br />documentation. <br />Section 2: Qualifications <br />O'LEARY RIC[ IARDS DESIGN ASSOCIATES, INC. 11 <br />
