Sunny Isles Beach Citywide Parking Study Keith and Schnars Project No. 17747.01.09006 December 12, 2007 - Page 3 Task 7: Location of Parking Surplus and Deficit A comparative analysis will be performed of the existing parking supply and demand, and the future parking supply and demand for each area and subarea. From this comparison, the conceptual, approximate locations of current and anticipated parking surpluses and deficits can be identified based on hourly accumulation estimates. Please note that this comparison will utilize the Effective Parking Supply (which represents approximately 85 percent of the total number of spaces supplied) rather than the actual total Parking Supply. Generally, as the parking supply approaches 85 percent occupied, patrons attempting to park begin to circle the lot trying to find a space to park. The Effective Parking Supply allows for fluctuations in the search for the few remaining parking spaces, the misparked vehicle, handicap accessible spaces, and unusual peaks of activity. Anticipated Date of Completion: February 18, 2008 Task 8: Assess and Determine Location of Additional Parking Supply If it is revealed that a parking deficit exists within an area or subarea, an assessment of the need for additional parking supply will be provided. This assessment will include determining the magnitude of the additional supply needed, and the location of the additional parking supply that best satisfies the parking deficit. This assessment will account for walking distance for pedestrians, who, according to the Urban Land Institute, generally will tolerate walking up to 1,200 feet from a parking structure to their destination (which corresponds to Level of Service C). This walking distance varies depending upon the person and the activity, i.e. walking to the grocery store versus walking to the beach. Tolerable walking distances for the purposes of this study will be tailored to the conditions and characteristics of the City of Sunny Isles Beach based on discussions with city staff. Further, a generalized cost of the additional parking spaces will be provided. The order of magnitude cost will be based on cost estimates per parking space, and will not include costs associated with the acquisition of land. Anticipated Date of Completion: February 19, 2008 Task 9: Documentation A summary of our existing and future parking conditions will be documented in a report with the supporting data and analysis provided in the appropriate tables. Three (3) copies of the report will be provided for the client's use. Anticipated Date of Completion: February 29, 2008 CONSULTANT'S Lump Sum fee for TrafficfTransportation Engineering Services is ........................... $44,960.00 Due to the difficulties of predicting the number and duration of meetings, no meetings are included in the fee shown above besides those explicitly outlined in the scope of services. Preparation for, and meeting attendance, will be considered as Additional Services, and will be provided for on a time and materials basis in accordance with our standard fee schedule in Exhibit A.
