<br />PROJECT APPROACH
<br />
<br />TirnHaahs understands that the City of Sunny Isles Beach seeks to retain Professional Engineering
<br />Services for the design and preparation of complete construction contract plans and special provisions
<br />for the Heritage Park and Parking Garage. The City of Sunny Isles is seeking a professional consulting
<br />firm to provide architectural/design and engineering services, a sole source of responsibility to support
<br />this endeavor. TimHaahs has assernbled a tearn to provide the complete range of services described in
<br />the Request for Qualifications No. 07-08-01. TirnHaahs faces design challenges on almost every project,
<br />and implements a project execution plan focusing on cost-effective solutions. We also understand the
<br />specific design challenges for municipal parking structures. The following details TimHaahs' approach to
<br />the challenges presented in the Heritage Park Garage project.
<br />
<br />As the design process progresses the team will move into the next
<br />phase of their work which is preparing detailed drawings of all of these
<br />program elements. Special attention will be made to ensuring that the
<br />landscape elernents are planned with maintainable and sustainable
<br />design in mind. Our team has been very involved with "green
<br />building" and many of its basic tenets may be applied to this site. It is
<br />anticipated that the walking path will wind through differing natural planting communities as it flows
<br />through the park. This, with interpretive signage, will provide an excellent opportunity for environmental
<br />education. This will also allow for significant biodiversity in the site. In addition to this, there are many
<br />opportunities for the use of recycled materials, photo-voltaics, storrn water harvesting and reductions in
<br />heat loads.

<br />Heritage Park Planning and Design - Creating a Unique
<br />Neighborhood Place
<br />TimHaahs has tearned with Rosenberg Gardner Design (RGD) to
<br />provide world class landscape architecture for Heritage Park and the
<br />overall site. Their role in this project will be performed in two aspects.
<br />Primarily, they will work with the design team to create the master
<br />siteplan. This project must receive input from all disciplines to ensure
<br />that all of their individual requirements are coordinated carefully in the
<br />design in the early stages. The team will provide its expertise in site
<br />planning by assisting in the location and layout of the garage, public
<br />works facilities, interior site circulation and placernent of the individual
<br />park amenities (i.e. picnic shelters, playgrounds, art features, etc.). Not
<br />only is "fitting" all of the required amenities into the site to be taken
<br />into consideration, but of equal irnportance are the issues of creating
<br />compatible uses within the site and with adjacent sites, the creation of
<br />view corridors and buffers and allowing for the future safety of the park
<br />by incorporating Crirne Prevention Through Environrnental Design
<br />(CPTED) principles.

<br />As the design proceeds, the design team will work with the City and
<br />interested neighborhood groups in gathering a consensus to prograrn
<br />elernents and ensuring connectivity and compatibility to nearby
<br />neighborhoods. A park is for the residents and rnust encornpass their
<br />wishes and desires, of course within the frarnework of the City's abilities.
