Exhibit "A": "Scope of Services" The City applied for and received a matching grant from the Miami-Dade Transportation Planning Organization to study the feasibility of planning for a pedestrian park overpass over Collins Avenue at 174th Street. This elevated pedestrian park overpass was recommended as a high priority project in the City's 2016 Transportation Master Plan (p. 94). The scope of this conceptual design study is to undertake the research, data collection, planning and conceptual design(illustration)efforts necessary for potential pedestrian and vehicular improvements into and through Collins Avenue at 174th Street. This intersection has a high volume of both pedestrians and vehicles and lacks the improvements to allow for a safe and efficient movement of pedestrians and vehicles. The study will focus on the background data showing the necessity for an elevated, alternative pedestrian route between the east and west sides of Collins Avenue and providing for conceptual ideas for a usable, ADA accessible, appealing and well-designed park overpass for pedestrians. Task I—Project Team Meetings and Coordination 1. After the Notice to Proceed is issued the City and/or Consultant will schedule a kick-off meeting to refine the scope, schedule and project parameters. During this meeting the formation of the Study Advisory Committee(SAC)will be discussed. The SAC members will include representatives from: FDOT, Miami-Dade County Department of Transportation & Public Works, Miami-Dade Transportation Planning Organization and the City. It is contemplated that a total of three (3) SAC meetings will be held. 2. A site visit will be scheduled which will be separate from the above meetings. Consultant staff from all disciplines (Planning, Transportation Planning, Landscape Architectural/Design)that will be involved will attend in addition to any SAC members and City staff. This will provide insight to the unique issues and challenges of a pedestrian park overpass. Deliverable: Meeting minutes Task II—Data Collection (Existing Conditions) 1. Traffic Data Collection-CGA traffic engineers will collect traffic data if not available form FDOT for use in completing the Pedestrian Park Overpass Feasibility Study. The traffic data collection will consist of the following: CGA will collect 24-hour ADT counts at one location on SR AlA/Collins Avenue south of 174th Street and one location on174th Street west of SR AlA/Collins Avenue for one Page 13 Interlocal Agreement Sunny Isles Beach 174th St Pedestrian Bridge Planning Study FY 2019
