AECOM <br /> <br />Design + Planning <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />A:'COM <br /> <br />Parks and <br />Open Space <br />Planning <br /> <br />A community's system of parks and <br />open spaces can generate significant <br />economic, environmental and social <br />benefits, and can help the community <br />become more livable and sustainable. <br />AECOM has helped communities <br />throughout the United States plan, <br />develop and implement parks and <br />open-space systems that have <br />improved residents' quality of life and <br />the local economy. Other benefits we <br />help achieve include: reduced <br />operations and maintenance costs; a <br />better understanding of residents' <br />recreation needs and lifestyles; <br />prioritization of spending; attraction of <br />more residents, visitors and <br />businesses; alignment of <br />comprehensive plans, capital <br />improvements programs, impact fees <br />and land development regulations <br />within the parks and open space <br />vision; improved opportunities for <br />grants, partnerships, donations and <br />other funding mechanisms; and <br />community involvement and <br />excitement. <br /> <br />The AECOM approach to parks and <br />open-space planning includes: <br />- An inventory and analysis of the <br />existing system, including facilities, <br />programs, staffing, operations, <br />maintenance and fees <br />- Creating a long-range vision, <br />including parks and open spaces, <br />recreation facilities and programs, <br /> <br />greenways and trails, streets, civic <br />spaces and natural areas <br />- Assessing community needs and <br />priorities, including qualitative, <br />quantitative and observational <br />techniques <br />- Creating open-space design <br />prototypes and guidelines, including <br />neighborhood and community parks, <br />sports complexes and special use <br />facilities, greenways and trails <br />- Developing "Level of Service" <br />standards and related regulations, <br />including acrElage, access, facilities, <br />quality and programs <br />- Developing an implementation <br />strategy, including cost estimates, <br />funding opportunities, maintenance <br />plans, capital improvements <br />priorities, programs, organizational <br />structure, policies and standards, <br />codes and partnerships <br />- Writing a masterplan document and <br />seeing it through the process, <br />including preparing reports, an <br />executive summary, a graphical <br />poster and presentations <br /> <br />AECOM helps make communities more <br />livable, sustainable and green by <br />designing excellent public realms. We <br />work collaboratively with clients to <br />determine needs, design long-range <br />visions and develop realistic strategies <br />to bring those visions to fruition. <br /> <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach I Design & Permitting Services of the Intracoastal Parks RFQ No, 12-04-04 <br /> <br />17 <br />
