<br />. <br /> <br />drawings of all of these program elements. Special attention will be <br />made to ensuring that the landscape elements are planned with <br />maintainable and sustainable design in mind. RGD has been very <br />involved with "green building" and many of its basic tenets may be <br />applied to this site. It is anticipated that the walking path will wind <br />through differing natural planting communities as it flows through the <br />park. This, with interpretive signage, will provide an excellent <br />opportunity for the education on our environment. This will also allow <br />for significant bio-diversity in the site. In addition to this, there are <br />many opportunities for the use of recycled materials, photo-voltaics, <br />storm water harvesting and reductions in heat loads. <br /> <br />3. EXPERIENCE <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />a. The firm's experience with projects similar in scope and size. <br />MAG and its team of consultants have worked together on the design <br />of recreational facilities and parking garages. One such project is the <br />Watson Island Marina which includes a huge boat launching ramp and <br />docks, parking lots, rest rooms and maintenance facilities, landscaped <br />grounds, site lighting, and board walks. Materials had to be vandal <br />proof and low-maintenance, as well as cost effective. One unique <br />problem solved by the MAG team was related to minimum floor <br />elevations above sea level and the need for special water proofing and <br />pumps to allow compliance with ADA slopes, flood control measures, <br />and economical site work. <br /> <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT BILL ROSENBERG (LEFT) AND STRUCTURAL <br />ENGINEER ROBERT HERNANDEZ (RIGHT) VERIFY EXISTING SITE <br />CONDITIONS AT THE WATSON ISLAND MARINA WHERE THE TEAM HAS <br />DESIGNED A 1000' BOARD WALK <br /> <br />Page 8 of 13 <br />
