Hines, CMC, City Clerk <br />City of Sunny Isles Beach <br />18007 Collins Avenue <br />Sunny Isles Beach, FL 33160 <br /> <br />RE: DESIGN AND PERMITTING SERVICES OF THE INTRACOASTAL PARKS <br />Request for Qualifications No. 12-04-04 <br /> <br />Dear Ms. Hines: <br /> <br />On behalf of Savino & Miller Design Studio, I am pleased to submit the response to your Request for <br />Qualifications to provide Professional Design & Permitting Services of the Intracoastal Parks Request for <br />Qualifications No. 12-04-04. <br /> <br />After carefully reviewing your Request for Proposal's Scope of Services / Specifications and visiting the <br />Sites, we have assembled an expert team of professional consultants in order to design and implement the <br />City's vision for these park sites (which is essentially one waterway park separated by the Poinciana Island <br />Entry Drive), as well as the streetscape by the Arlen House, if required. . <br /> <br />Savino & Miller Design Studio is a minority-owned design firm that specializes in a multidisciplinary <br />approach to landscape architecture. My fellow partner, Adriana Savino, and I have extensive experience in <br />master planning, streetscape design, open space design, and landscape architecture for many institutional, <br />public facilities, commercial and residential projects, including your own Sunny Isles Beach City Hall <br />Complex Plan. <br /> <br />We have designed from conception to implementation many urban parks and plazas. Our park experience <br />includes: <br /> <br />· South Pointe Park (20 acres), which was awarded the 2010 FNGA Award of Excellence in <br />Landscape Architecture: <br />· Belle Isle Park, (4 acres), along the Venetian Causeway in Miami Beach <br />· Homestead Bayfront Park Master Plan, awarded the 2007 APA Gold Section Award of <br />Excellence. <br />· Greynolds Park Master Plan, <br />· Matheson Plantation Village in Crandon Park (1.5 acres), <br />· Museum Park (22 acres), (formerly Bicentennial Park). This is one of the most exciting Park <br />projects in the region, adjacent to Biscayne Bay and the new Miami Art Museum and Museum of <br />Science. <br /> <br />Additionally, we are proud to say that we are part of the team that recently prepared the approved Master <br />Plan for the Garage/Park project on Sunny Isles Beach Boulevard and 163rd Street, at one of the City's <br />major entries. This park project is part of the new wave of conversions from underutilized commercial <br />centers to green space, and the City seems to be moving forward in this direction with the upcoming park <br />project advertised in the RFQ. <br /> <br />Our streetscape experience is also extensive: <br /> <br />· Brickell Avenue Median from 5th to 15th St. in downtown Miami; <br />· Arthur Godfrey Roadway (41st Street) and Bridges in Miami Beach; <br /> <br />12345 NE 6TH AVENUE A NORTH MIAMI, FLORIDA 33161 <br />T: 305.895.9082 F: 305.895.9083 WWW.SAVINOMILLER.COM <br /> <br />L:: <br /> <br />. --=-1:_1 <br /> <br />.- <br /> <br />-- <br />
