SMDS has worked with diligence and <br /> the highest standard of professionalism over the past five years in producing a Master Plan, design/ <br /> ® construction documents, and construction phase services for our recently opened Surfside Community <br /> Center, on Collins Avenue and 90th Street. <br /> ® SMDS used a creative and comprehensive planning approach in providing the City with alternative <br /> active/passive park designs for our community center's complete renovation. They worked diligently with <br /> ® the City Commission, our staff and through numerous community meetings throughout the process to <br /> ® build consensus, and used these inputs to develop a progressive, beautiful and creative design. The <br /> project was designed for silver LEED certification. <br /> ® The final design ingeniously incorporated the beach dune area — which was formerly separated from the <br /> pool deck - directly to the new pool deck area, along with integrating a multi-functional pool area in a <br /> ® relatively tight space, serving the needs of children, recreational swimmers and swimming classes. <br /> ® The project has been a huge success for residents and visitors alike, and we are extremely satisfied with <br /> ® the results. It is a beautiful design as well. Their ability to reconcile difficult site issues with creative <br /> design solutions, and responsiveness in working with the City's various interest groups and City staff <br /> ® have been crucial factors in the project's success. I believe this firm's experience and comprehensive <br /> ® approach to park design within an urban setting will be ideal for the Sunny Isles Beach Park Project. <br /> ® Respectfully submitted, <br /> ® <br /> ® Tim Milian <br /> ® Parks and Recreation Director <br /> Town of Surfside <br />
