We have a long history of successfully completed projects in South Florida are sensitive to the unique environmental issues associated with this area. Schedule of Proposed Services A schedule of proposed services for a typical landscape architectural project for the City of Sunny Isles Beach includes the initial task of site inventory and analysis, reviewing available plans, surveys and doc- umentation depicting existing conditions of the project site, reviewing local codes and ordinances, design standards and any other information related to the project. The on -site analysis will include verification of utilities, obstructions, existing vegetation, opportunities, constraints, and any other pertinent elements not depicted on the available plans. Following site inventory and analysis is the preparation of conceptual alternatives that depict the character and intent of the design. The Conceptual Design plans will include an analysis of existing conditions such as scenic values, areas of emphasis, visibility, safety, cost and maintenance considerations. A preliminary estimate of Probable Construction Cost at the conceptual Q phase will help the City establish a construction budget if one has not already been established. If deemed advisable by City staff, the Conceptual design alternatives will be presented to the City Commis- sion. O'LEARY RICHARDS DESIGN ASSOCIATES, INC. 8
