Marcanthony Tulloch, Purchasing Agent <br /> ® RE: Continuing Professional Architectural & Engineering Services, Firms Only(CCNA) <br /> ® Landscape Architecture RFQ No. 12-04-02 <br /> ® Dear Mark: <br /> ® The City of North Miami has recently worked with Savino Miller on the N.E. 125th Streetscape Project, and the Pioneer <br /> Boulevard Entry&Streetscape project both in North Miami, Florida. <br /> ® For the 125`h Streetscape Project, Savino & Miller's work involved developing streetscape design concepts for our city's <br /> central business district. Savino Miller led the master planning effort, especially relating to the relationship between the <br /> existing architectural aesthetic, building-to-public right-of way relationships, and site issues. The first phase, built with <br /> ® ARRA funding was a million dollar sidewalk design which key elements included the paving pattern, which focused on <br /> historic design elements. The Master Plan included as well a sustainable streetscape planting, and streetscape re- <br /> configuration that included tree palms and planted bulb outs,and pervious paving parking spaces. <br /> Pioneer Boulevard is the main street of a residential neighborhood in North Miami. Savino & Miller designed the <br /> ® improvements and restoration to the historic fountain on NE 6"'Avenue, as well as the streetscape's paving and planting <br /> ® improvements from NE 6`h Avenue to West Dixie Highway. Flowering trees approved by the city have recently been <br /> ® installed. The project fountain improvements are going to bid and we anticipate completion this year. <br /> ® Savino Miller provided landscape architectural services which included master planning, design documents and <br /> construction administration. Working directly with several city departments as well as the installation contractors, Savino <br /> ® & Miller insured that all aspects of the design were completed with great attention to detail. <br /> ® In summary, Savino Miller Design Studio performed in an exemplary manner of workmanship and professionalism, <br /> ® helping us to create an integrated downtown design aesthetic, and new streetscape for two of our important city <br /> corridors. <br /> ® I am pleased to recommend Savino Miller based on my experience in working with them. <br /> • <br /> S' cerely, <br /> ® Ale- any, P. <br /> Public Works Dir-z <br /> ® City of North Miami <br /> ® Public Works Department <br /> $ 776 NE 125 Street I North Miami I Florida 133181 305-895-9830 <br /> ® Fax: 305-895-4658 <br />
