sees it done is on the private property where we have those easements, because in the center, FDOT is strict on a lot of issues. It is up to the designers, architects, to do something that is viable. 3. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Q: The Scope of Services states the west side of Collins, but I hear both sides. A: The main focus is on the west side, on the east side they tried to landscape the area, but if we could come up with something in that J O-foot easement that we could wind that sidewalk and try to keep within the properties. Just give us an entire plan with both sides. We can tie that back to the viability issue, on the east side we can do some landscaping, most of that has been developed and the developers themselves have done a great chunk of it, there are some areas where we can add some landscaping, but we are limited. So the focus is on the west side, we have been working to obtain this J O-foot easement, and we now have an opportunity to do something that we physically could not do before. On the east side we can just go back to an old plan or get an landscape architect out there and just do some nice plants. We are looking for a unique plan that creates something like Los Olas Boulevard in Ft. Lauderdale, we want to create an identity and a vision here for this area that is doable, and that is why we are looking to get an Economist on the team or somebody that can make this a realistic package. Q: Do you have easements on the east side too or just the west side? A: We have easements on the west side, and on the east side as well, each individual development has a J O-foot landscaping easement in the front. The reason we are saying both sides is because we want to widen the sidewalk. Q: What are the boundaries on the north and south sides? A: Essentially from the northern City limits at Golden Beach to the southern City limits at Haulover Park. Q: Are you looking for other Elements such as enhanced lighting, sidewalks, bus benches, trash receptacles? A : Yes, the entire package. We do have a lighting standard. You can go to J nnd Street to the end, make a turn south and you are on North Bay Road where new lights have been installed. It will be that type offixture but it won't be that exact model because that is a smaller fixture for a local street, but it will be that style of fixture enlarged for a major thoroughfare. Also take a look at the black bus shelters and benches that we have now, try to stay within that motif Q: Do you have a budget in mind? A: No budget in mind but funds are available. We have funds for the Study, we do have funds to start as we are going to take it in phases. Pre-Bid Meeting Minutes RFQ 07-07-033 Page 2 of 5
