L 7 PROJECT UNDERSTANDING The City of Sunny Isles Beach desires to hire a Landscape Architectural consultant that has demonstrated experience in the following areas: 1. Right -of -way beautification; 2. Median and swale landscaping; 3. Development of maintenance standards; 4. Beach and dune scaping; 5. Active and passive park development; 6. Irrigation design, operation and maintenance; 7. Wetland restoration; and 8. Sensitivity to environmental issues unique to coastal barrier islands. Miller, Legg & Associates, Inc. (MLA) has a vast amount of experience in these potential project task areas. Our experience in the development of right -of -way and median landscape beautification projects is demonstrated in the project approach used for this RFQ. In the area of maintenance standards, MLA has developed maintenance standards for a variety of different facilities. These maintenance standards have included landscape maintenance requirements for various planting areas that MLA has designed. Tree relocation specifications for the FDOT District IV were developed by MLA. These tree relocation specifications were prepared for the entire District, which includes the Counties from Broward to Indian River. MLA has also been instrumental in the development of management plans for various recreational facilities. These recreational and environmental facilities include the City of Pembroke Pines' Academic Village and the City of Coral Springs' Sandy Ridge Sanctuary. These management plans address key issues as they relate to the long -term sustainability of the natural resources found on these projects as well as the daily operational issues as they are required for various security, safety, accessibility and aesthetic issues. MLA is proud of its reputation as a leader in the area of environmental design. MLA has a full service environmental staff with vast experience in both freshwater and coastal systems. MLA's Environmental and Landscape Architectural Departments work as a team in order to develop designs that are aesthetically pleasing while responding and respecting the natural resources. The success of the collaborative efforts between the Landscape Architecture and Environmental Departments at MLA have garnered MLA design awards from ASLA, ASCE, FNPS and FICE. These projects include: the City of Coral Springs' Sandy Ridge Sanctuary, Broward County's 1,500 acre West Lake Park and the City of Weston's 2000+ acre Habitat Restoration Project.
