ODA has extensive experience in the development of right-of-way beautification and transit related streetscape projects and has successfully completed numerous roadway landscape designs. Most recently ODA completed the Collins Avenue Streetscape in Bal Harbour, Florida~ the Crandon Boulevard Median Landscaping, Key Biscayne, Florida~ and the US-I Biscayne 4, 5, 6 and 7 Streetscape in A ventura, Florida. ODA is well qualified to complete the required scope of professional services for these projects and the following is a description of our approach: I. Coordination with the City of Sunny Isles Beach and the Florida Department of Transportation (for FDOT roadways only) A.) Determine availability of plans or Cadd files. The first step will be to determine what plans are available, whether they are up to date, and whether they reflect all utilities (underground and overhead). If information is lacking and/or inaccuracies are apparent some survey work may have to occur. B.) Throughout the design process, maintain contact with the City of Sunny Isles Beach and the FDOT to assure that FDOT projects are granted an FDOT permit (a permit and a Joint Maintenance Agreement will be required for all FDOT roadways). ll. Conceptual Design A.) Complete a detailed on-site analysis of existing conditions to include the following: 1.) Verification of existing tree species, condition and a determination on retention or removal. If tree removal is recommended, a written report will be directed to the City Manager documenting the reasons and validity of removal. This information can be used in the future if public resistance or questions are encountered. 2.) If specimen or endangered trees are encountered, they will be located and protected. B.) Prepare Conceptual Design renderings that depict the character and intent of the Landscape Design. These renderings will include plan views and typical sections, will be mounted on foam core boards, and will be accompanied by booklet size reductions of the renderings for public distribution (if deemed advisable by the City Manager). The Conceptual Design plans will include the following:
