We routinely perform feasibility studies, master planning, design, permitting, public participation and consensus building, and construction administration services for landscape improvements. The firm’s landscape architects and urban planners have extensive public and private sector experience, ranging from large-scale institutional, residential, and commercial developments to municipal streetscapes and area-wide roadway improvements. Our planners and landscape architects emphasize the development of a pleasing visual environment, meaningful theme, distinctive image, and strong sense of place, while being sensitive to our clients’ budgets and long-term maintenance obligations.

With specialties including urban design, redevelopment, entitlements, community planning, and recreation, our planners and landscape architects deliver award-winning, practical, and sustainable design solutions. REDEVELOPMENT As municipalities continue to grow, urban design, streetscape design, and landscape architecture have become integral components of roadway and transportation system designs and infrastructure improvements. Revitalizing commercial districts, controlling traffic flows, and providing recreational areas and pedestrian and bicycle facilities in increasingly congested areas are some of the solutions designed by our engineers, landscape architects, and planners. Known for our public involvement programs, workshop facilitation, and consensus-building, we respond to the unique needs of each client–mindful of the role effective planning and design plays in enabling stakeholders to establish priorities. Working side-by-side with engineers, architects, and construction professionals, we ensure the realization of our clients’ vision while solving the challenges of each site. ROADWAY LANDSCAPING The basic tenet of roadway landscaping is to provide an enjoyable driving experience while recognizing the importance of safety and maintenance. Kimley-Horn has designed many roadway landscapes, and each represents the challenges associated with limited space, water conservation, plant survivability, utility conflicts, and traffic congestion. Our landscape design approach is to use plant material in a manner that creates a “rhythm” or “theme” for the roadway corridor. Varying tree heights, combining different plant species for textural interest, and spacing plant material are methods of creating aesthetically pleasing vehicular corridors. Practical restrictions related to City of Sunny Isles Beach standards for plant selection, application of xeriscape principles, and roadway design and road lighting will often dictate design. The effective use and placement of vertical features including trees, signs, and light poles will result in a landscape treatment that provides optimum safety, pleasing aesthetics, and low maintenance. Kimley-Horn’s goal is to turn our clients’ ideas into destinations where memories are made. Our cross-functional teams of landscape architects, engineers, and planners have provided comprehensive consulting services for dozens of award-winning projects across the country. We know how to maximize amenities while minimizing front-end and maintenance costs, resulting in destinations that stand the test of time.

We also recognize the importance of a comprehensive business participation program for these types of projects — it serves to heighten local awareness, educate, and ensure success by accurately defining the needs of local owners and merchants. Community involvement determines the overall design program, funding strategies, and implementation priorities. Our expertise in providing a broad range of services helps ensure the successful implementation of your vision while addressing the specific challenges that each project entails. Kimley- Horn is known for developing innovative approaches to projects that involve neighborhood participation. We understand that many projects require community involvement and acceptance, and we have developed effective methods of bringing the community into the process. We are strongly committed to conducting public participation programs that educate, inform, and build consensus for a particular solution. Each project is different in terms of the stakeholders and the critical issues involved; thus, each public involvement program must be tailored to specifically address each project’s needs. TRAFFIC CALMING Kimley-Horn’s team of roadway designers, traffic engineers, and planners knows how to design roadways that accommodate a defined volume of through-traffic, while also serving as a corridor for business/residential units and pedestrian/bicycle usage. All reasonable efforts are made to restore a balance between automobiles and pedestrians. When addressing the functional and aesthetic needs of municipal road corridors, Kimley-Horn’s team emphasizes a wide variety of traffic calming principles. PARK DESIGN Kimley-Horn is a national leader in parks and recreation needs assessments, master planning, and design. Our landscape architectural staff features park planners and designers who have a wide variety of experience ranging from small and intimate pocket parks to multi-use landscaped corridors and active community parks. Our landscape architects emphasize the development of a pleasing human environment with functional spaces designed to artfully integrate with nature, complementing the community while developing a strong sense of place. Kimley-Horn has worked on park and recreation master plans in Florida and throughout the country that include passive recreation, athletic facilities, and greenway and trail systems.

Midtown Miami Sims Park, New Port Richey, FL Midtown Miami RFQ # 22-06-01 City of Sunny Isles Beach Landscape Architectural Services 14 LPOC36007.2022 Continuing Services for ENVIRONMENTAL Kimley-Horn maintains an experienced team of environmental scientists, geologists, hydrogeologists, and biologists with wide ranging experience in environmental and natural resources services including permitting, site location studies, and environmental analyses. The Kimley-Horn Environmental Services Group can provide complete natural resource regulatory compliance services to meet any of your environmental needs. The team of biologists, ecologists, and environmental scientists are well versed in all aspects of the development process from preliminary Phase I Site Assessments to National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation. They can take a project from conception to final build out. An in-house environmental services group offers the advantage of closer coordination with the design team, there are no problems with miscommunication or coordination because the two groups work side-by-side every day. The environmental specialist and the engineers have learned to speak the same language and can work together for a successful project. C) Value-Added Benefits On-call contracts require a different approach from typical project-specific contracts. Each task assigned under an on-call contract will need an individualized approach that includes the various disciplines necessary to complete the assignment. At Kimley-Horn, the overall approach for a task begins with an initial scoping meeting, development of the fee proposal, and a clear understanding of expectations and deliverables. Upon notice to proceed, the appropriate staff is assigned to accomplish the task within the agreed upon timeframe. One of the advantages that Kimley-Horn offers is our ability to assign the right staff to each task. We can draw from a multitude of disciplines and resources to complete each assignment—whether the task is relatively minor, requiring only a few people in a single discipline; or a complicated task requiring numerous people and multiple disciplines. Kimley-Horn also focuses on project management, from the inception phase through the construction phase of each project. Our project managers receive bi-monthly effort reports on manpower and expenses—helping them to establish a clear picture of project cost, cost control effectiveness, and schedule—all tools they need to keep projects moving ahead. We recognize that each project has its own expectations that need to be understood, and then exceeded. In addition to project work, everyone plays a role in maintaining the policies and practices which have helped us build an unusually experienced and stable professional staff, a strong project management system, and a close rapport with our clients. Kimley-Horn staff have formed successful and long-lasting relationships with our clients because we believe in exceptional client service combined with technical excellence. PROJECT MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES Kimley-Horn recognizes that a strong project management technique is necessary to successfully complete all the City’s projects. Our standard management practices are outlined in a formal manual published by the firm entitled Project Manager’s Manual. This document clearly establishes the firm’s policy, which requires the project manager to prepare a detailed work plan and management plan for each major project. This includes a plan for controlling and directing all elements of the project. Our entire approach to project management is characterized by the following philosophies and policies, which are ingrained in the Kimley-Horn culture: • We will not only control and manage the project schedule, but also anticipate problems, creatively develop solutions, and implement a set of actions before problems arise. • We will follow up on action items to ensure they are executed by a single responsible person. There will be no misunderstanding as to who was or is responsible. • Our project management plan will promote efficiency, clarify communication protocols, provide direction, avoid misunderstandings, and govern routine action. • Our project management plan will clearly identify, budget, and plan for effective quality control and independent reviews. • We will execute random inquiries into schedule adherence, work performance, quality performance, and resource allocations to determine compliance with planned project performance. • Project Manager George Puig, PLA, ASLA will always be in command and control of the project. He will have the authority to allocate resources and correct problems without senior management approval. • We will view the project from your perspective, examine issues in a strategic context, and provide you with tactical solutions. RFQ # 22-06-01 City of Sunny Isles Beach Landscape Architectural Services 15 LPOC36007.2022 Continuing Services for Kimley-Horn project managers also develop very detailed work plans that include specific task items for the duration of all projects. The work plan defines who, what, when, where, and how for all project tasks. This level of detail requires the project manager and the team members to think the project through and develop a plan that they will then be responsible for implementing. This work plan process also helps to ensure the correct team members are selected for the work. VALUE ENGINEERING (VE) Kimley-Horn’s VE philosophy is to provide constant value engineering by focusing on better decisions, better information, better analysis, cost reductions, increased productivity, and accurate deliverables throughout all project steps. VE is a key factor for developing successful projects that transition from study to design and design to construction. The challenges associated with each project task are solved creatively and effectively and each step is reviewed by the most qualified professional to ensure the highest level of value. Kimley-Horn has also worked with many municipalities and governmental agencies to provide peer and VE reviews. Kimley-Horn understands your priorities and what you expect from the VE process. Construction projects face many challenges: budget constraints, environmental impact, user expectations, and quality, just to name a few. Applying the VE methodology to the design and implementation of construction projects can provide the following benefits: • Reduced project construction costs • Decreased operation and maintenance costs • Improved project schedules • Increased effective use of resources The process can be a separate independent formal review or integrated into the design process. During design or review of a project, decisions comparing issues of cost, constructability, longevity, and ease of installation and maintenance, among others, are always present. Our role in reviewing plans focuses on asking questions that allow decisions to be made that will increase return on the owner’s investment and improve the value of the project. The best value is provided by the solution that maximizes the benefits being provided at the best price (considering initial and long-term costs) while meeting the overall design intent and the client’s expectations. Implementing VE requires brainstorming, experience with similar decisions, and project understanding. The Kimley-Horn team presented to you in this proposal has the right tools to meet your needs. We recognize that VE is not an exact science—it comes from the experience earned from decades of hard work. It comes from “tried and true” experiences and finding a way to approach a project. At Kimley-Horn, we strive for incremental improvements with every design decision. The official definition of VE methodology includes a five-step process consisting of: 1. Data collection and review 2. Evaluation 3. Alternatives 4. Comparisons 5. Recommendations RFQ # 22-06-01 City of Sunny Isles Beach Landscape Architectural Services 16 LPOC36007.2022 Continuing Services for D) Project Cost Controls Effective project cost control involves both design and construction costs. Effectively controlling design costs involves a thorough understanding of the project scope of services. Often during the design phase, requests are made by project reviewers and other involved parties that may encompass project expansion to account for unanticipated improvements. Although making the necessary changes from the design perspective may be minor, there could be significant impacts on construction costs. We know that managing scope creep is the most effective way to control the project design costs. Although monitoring scope creep does have an impact on reducing construction costs, we also closely monitor this at each phase submittal and any time significant changes may influence overall construction costs. We understand that most capital improvement programs are budgeted very carefully to ensure that revenues balance expenditures, and project costs that exceed available budgets could jeopardize the project moving forward. Knowing how important maintaining project costs is, we prepare detailed construction cost estimates at each submittal phase and monitor this throughout project duration, keeping our clients apprised of significant cost fluctuations. Controlling project construction costs is a critical component for a successful project. ABILITY TO MEET SCHEDULING AND BUDGET REQUIREMENTS Our first step in schedule and budget control is to understand the City’s vision for a project and then develop a realistic schedule to make that vision a reality. This step requires immediate and clear communication and is a critical step in partnering for a successful project. We will define the project requirements, understand potential obstacles to success, identify potential opportunities to achieve more within the same project, and create a project work plan that allows us to accomplish project goals efficiently. Prior to beginning work on a project, we will prepare a detailed project schedule and monitor it against actual project milestone completion dates. Project schedules are evaluated at different frequencies depending on the magnitude of the project, and updates can also be sent in simple PDF formats for ease of access by all parties throughout the life of a project. Paramount to the success of any project is a continued partnering throughout the project to adapt as necessary to unforeseen circumstances. We will include critical decision-making points in our work plans so the project team, including the City, can agree upon the best course of action to keep projects on track. We know there will always be unexpected challenges unique to any given project, so it is critical to develop and follow an approach that successfully manages what can be controlled while building in mechanisms for handling the unexpected. In a continuing services contract, the schedule for each work order assignment is often predicated on the City’s specific needs related to other controlling factors. Kimley-Horn has responded to the needs of cities and counties on a variety of efforts and circumstances through our previous continuing services contracts. Our team has the depth and breadth of personnel to help the City of Sunny Isles Beach address both routine and specialized assignments within any time constraints. SCHEDULE CONTROL One of the important schedule control mechanisms for this project will be our team’s previous experiences and lessons learned, as well as their application to this project. Identifying realistic goals, collaborating with City staff, developing a focused action plan that addresses only those items necessary to accomplish the goals, anticipating the implications of decisions made in early phases to future phases, and preparing a mechanism for addressing unexpected challenges are important in establishing schedule control. The first step in controlling schedule is to understand your vision and develop a realistic schedule to make that vision a reality. We have developed a project approach that fosters schedule control mechanisms through incremental phasing and decision-making points in the project. We know there always will be unexpected challenges unique to any given project, so it is paramount that an approach be developed and adhered to that manages what can be controlled and builds in mechanisms for handling the unexpected. RFQ # 22-06-01 City of Sunny Isles Beach Landscape Architectural Services 17 LPOC36007.2022 Continuing Services for TEAM COORDINATION The Kimley-Horn team is highly experienced in projects that demand close coordination among multiple team members- including Kimley-Horn staff, City staff, and subconsultants. Our clients expect a high level of responsiveness, communication, and quality. These high standards have been engrained in our staff to adhere to demanding schedules, a strict quality assurance program, and open lines of communication. We understand that open, clearly defined channels of communication and prompt response to your requests will be essential to achieve the desired project results. Our experience has shown that there really is no such thing as “over-communication” between the client and our team. For this reason, we recommend use of the following communications protocol for all work assignments issued under this contract, which we have employed successfully on numerous projects: • A bi-weekly conference call between the planning team (with City participation, as needed) to discuss progress and schedule on projects. • A monthly progress report summarizing, at a minimum, the following information: • Milestone list, with anticipated and actual dates of completion • Upcoming tasks and associated required preparation • Anticipated project issues and strategies for solutions E) Staffing Capabilities KIMLEY-HORN CREDENTIALS Date of Incorporation: February 10, 1967 (Incorporated in the state of NC) Number of Years in Business: 55 Federal Identification Number (FEIN): 56-0885615 Corporate Charter Number: 126896 Professional License Number: 00000696 Florida Corporate Charter Number: 821359 Firmwide Employees: 6,500+ Firmwide Landscape Architects: 307 Florida Employees: 1,000+ Florida Landscape Architects: 66 Coral Gables Office Employees: 92 SUBCONSULTANT Kimley-Horn maintains a focus on selecting subconsultants who share common values.

The daily management effort conducted under this contract will flow through and be directed by the Project Manager, George Puig, PLA, ASLA, who will work with City staff in preparing or obtaining a scope for each work assignment, and then coordinate and assign the appropriate staff to perform each task. George will oversee the performance of the tasks to ensure high quality is maintained without impacting the scope or the schedule and will ensure that the quality control process is completed before the final submittal to the City. In addition, George will communicate with City staff to make sure they are fully aware of the status of each task. Each landscape architectural assignment under this contract will be designed and implemented in accordance with not just the landscape, tree protection, and other regulatory requirements of the City, County, and applicable state and federal agencies, but with a “best practice” approach that emphasizes cost-effective design, ease of contractibility and maintenance, and sustainability. Finally, we will approach each assignment with a keen interest in the community’s expressed desires for the project and will work with stakeholders and City staff to effectively solicit, respond to, and incorporate public input, as appropriate for each project. A sample approach for a Landscape Architectural task order is as follows: TASK 1 - PROJECT INITIATION Upon notification to proceed, the project team will meet with the City staff to review the proposed scope of work, project design objectives, schedule, and budget requirements. We will review available site and background data and will identify, with the City staff, any additional information necessary for the project. We will also visit the project site to become familiar with its context, site character, existing vegetation, and other opportunities and constraints. Finally, we will determine, with the City staff, the preferred methodology for any public input to the design process. TASK 2 - PROGRAM CONFIRMATION AND CONCEPT AND SCHEMATIC DESIGN We will develop drawings and other documents that confirm the required elements of the project design. These deliverables may include a Concept Plan or Schematic Design and a statement of program and budget parameters which will serve as the basis for subsequent design. TASK 3 - PERMITTING PROCESS The KHA team recognizes the importance of expediting the permit approval process. Therefore, our team includes members who can identify regulatory requirements and fast-track the permit process in South Florida. At the initial design stage, it will be appropriate to secure initial review and approvals from the City, as well as from any agencies. We will contact regulatory agencies during the preliminary engineering phase of the project, attend pre-application meetings to elicit agencies’ concerns, permitting constraints, and required approvals/permits for the project. TASK 4 - FINAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS This task will include the design phases consistent with AlA standard documents, although these may be modified to fit each project. Design Development may be a discrete subtask or be combined with Contract Documents. During this stage of the project, submittals for City review, comment, and approval will be made at milestone intervals, which typically include Design Development, 50%, 90%, and Final Contract Documents. All submittals will be subject to KHA’s rigorous QA/QC reviews. Upon completion of the contract documents, a final “permit dry run” will be conducted, to address any outstanding permit issues prior to bidding. RFQ # 22-06-01 City of Sunny Isles Beach Landscape Architectural Services 36 LPOC36007.2022 Continuing Services for TASK 5 - BID/NEGOTIATION PHASE SERVICES During this phase, we will assist the City with Pre-Bid Conference, responses to bidder inquiries, preparation of any Addenda, and review and evaluation of bids received and bidder qualifications. TASK 6 - CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES These services will commence upon award of a contract for construction and will conclude upon issuance of a Certificate of Final Completion, City acceptance of the project, and sign-off of all necessary regulatory agencies. Services provided during this phase include on-site progress of the work observations; progress meetings with Contractor and City; review of Contractor’s Construction Schedule, Schedule of Values, materials submittals, shop drawings and pay applications; review of planting bed layouts; review of installed materials; inspection and punch list at Substantial Completion and at Final Completion. In addition, we will provide follow-up after construction is completed, typically in the form of follow-up inspections prior to the expiration of warranties approximately 1 year after completion of the project. Finally, if requested by the City, opinions of probable costs and CSI format written specifications will be developed for each project. QUALITY CONTROL/QUALITY ASSURANCE Quality is a keystone principle of Kimley-Horn. It is one of the key attributes that has enabled us to become one of the leading consulting firms in the country and it is essential to our continuing success. Kimley-Horn’s QA/QC program is based on the philosophy that: • Quality is achieved by adequate planning, coordination, training, supervision, and technical direction; proper definition of the job requirements and procedures; understanding the scope of services; and the use of appropriately skilled personnel performing work functions carefully. • Quality is assured through independent review of work activities by individuals who are not directly responsible for performing the initial efforts. • Quality is controlled by assigning a project quality manager with the responsibility to make sure that review procedures are followed while providing professional services. For this contract, Matthew Wisniewski, PLA will lead Quality Assurance/Quality Control. • Quality is verified through independent reviews by a qualified staff member of the processes, procedures, documentation, supervision, technical direction, and staffing associated with the project development. Project quality is “built in,” not added on. • Quality work is the direct result of careful, properly sequenced, and supervised production, and continuous checking of each work element for completion and correctness by the task leader and project manager. SECURED Through careful quality control of work activities by parties not involved in the initial efforts CONTROLLED By assigning task managers to evaluate all work flow and procedures ACHIEVED Through adequate planning, coordination, supervision and, technical direction VERIFIED Through independent reviews by qualified staff Leading the QA/QC process of this contract, Matthew will conduct QA/QC reviews at the end of each project phase to help ensure that the project deliverable is not only technically correct, but also consistent with the project’s objectives. Matthew will review project deliverables for clarity, accuracy, completeness, and complete scope compliance. Matthew will work with Project Manager George Puig, PLA, ASLA to make sure all client deliverables receive an independent review prior to submittal to the City.
