O’LEARY RICHARDS DESIGN ASSOCIATES, INC. 12 <br />Sunny Isles Beach RFQ No. 16-04-02          <br />Landscape Architect Services <br /> <br /> <br />Palmetto Bay Municipal Center <br />Village of Palmetto Bay, Florida <br /> <br />Client name: Village of Palmetto Bay <br /> <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 2 story 24,000 <br />sf center sits on 3.3 acres and houses the police sta- <br />tion, building dept., offices and council chambers. <br />Practicing fundamental principles of urban design and <br />public space planning, ORDA strived to create a walka- <br />ble urban environment for the Village’s new civic cen- <br />ter. The Bismark palm court acts as the main connector <br />between the parking facilities to the East and the Palm <br />plaza, the project’s formal entrance plaza featuring <br />works from the Village’s collection of Art in Public Plac- <br />es program. The Palm plaza features a bold and vivid <br />geometric palm leaf motif enclosed by a collection of <br />stately Canary Island Date Palms which frame the plaza <br />and building entrances. The sustainable landscape in- <br />cludes native and indigenous drought tolerant plant <br />material and the irrigation system is fed from a cistern <br />that collects water from the permeable paving system. <br /> <br />Total Cost of project: $3,000,000 <br /> <br />Project Team: Kathy O’Leary Richards, ASLA, Bill <br />O’Leary, FASLA, Carlos Somoza <br /> <br />Role of firm and responsibilities: ORDA provided <br />landscape architectural services which included concep- <br />tual design through construction documentation and <br />assistance in LEED certification. <br /> <br />  <br />Section 3: Minimum Requirements <br />2.4.3
