® the street, we added some pervious pavers in a wave pattern around the trees with the objective of allowing <br /> ® crossing without stepping on the planting. For the Johnson and Wales University Median in NE 127 Street in <br /> North Miami we created a double colonnade of Royal Palms with a diverse native planting as an understory <br /> ® with small flowering trees. <br /> ® These three projects represent three different situations in terms of permitting and regulations within the <br /> three municipalities: Brickell Avenue as an FDOT Road, Washington Avenue as a County Road and 127 <br /> ® Street as a Local Road. <br /> Work Methodology <br /> Based on the Scope outlined in the RFQ, we envision our role as designers and planners as the main <br /> ® conductor of the design process for the Landscape Architectural projects. Based on our previous successful <br /> ® experience with our consultants, we will be creating specific design solutions for streets, urban design, site <br /> master planning and parks located within the City of Sunny Isles Beach. <br /> ® Generally, our tasks/process, which will be refined in consultation with the City, may include: <br /> ® 1.Analyze existing conditions and report findings <br /> ® 2. Discover constraints and opportunities for the project areas <br /> ® 3. Develop a coordinated palette of plantings, paving, lighting, street furniture and signage/graphics <br /> ® for projects as design guidelines <br /> 4. Develop alternative conceptual designs for those areas identified by the City leadership <br /> ® 5. Review alternatives and as/when appropriate, with the City, County, State and other agencies <br /> ® and stakeholders <br /> ® 6. Assist in identifying "preferred" solutions and developing them into recommended conceptual designs <br /> ® 7. Represent the City at coordination meeting with other agencies and participate in public meetings <br /> ® as necessary <br /> 8. Develop Construction Documents and Specifications to build specific projects <br /> ® 9.Address such other issues as directed by the City,which may include additional tasks not noted above <br /> In regards to planting, an important part of our projects is the application of innovative—and new techniques <br /> ® — to preserve and encourage the healthy growth of existing and proposed trees in urban environments so <br /> close to the ocean. <br /> S <br /> ® We are well versed in the design and implementation of"Xeriscape" landscapes. Various methods are available <br /> ® to effectively conserve water and other resources, such as grouping plants by water requirements, irrigation <br /> "zoning", the design of porous pipe underground irrigation, use of gravels and native drought-tolerant plants <br /> ® and mulching. Just as importantly, is the need to minimize demands for maintenance. Generally, our design <br /> ® documents reflect the most current techniques for low maintenance, resource-efficient landscapes. <br /> ® In addition to the traditional scope of landscape architectural services, such as planting, irrigation and paving <br /> design, our team will provide site lighting consultation, maintenance specifications, recommendations for <br /> ® street furniture and signage/graphic design through a set of defined Urban/Street Design Guidelines for the <br /> ® City of Sunny Isles Beach. <br /> Savino& '( - fl+4•w Studio cl;{,la]#12-04-02 63 <br /> 0 <br />
