Our staBing approach is built around one fundamental objective: providing the City with immediate access to experienced decision- makers who can eBiciently deliver assignments of varying size, complexity, and urgency while maintaining exceptional quality and accountability. Unlike project-specific teams that assemble only after award, our proposed team has an established working relationship and defined lines of communication. Miles Architecture Group serves as the Prime Consultant and single point of responsibility, coordinating all architectural disciplines and managing the eBorts of our engineering partners to provide seamless delivery from initial task authorization through final construction administration. Our team is intentionally structured so that senior leadership remains actively involved throughout every assignment. This approach ensures that every task order benefits from executive oversight, experienced technical review, and timely decision-making while allowing day-to-day project activities to be managed by dedicated project managers and technical professionals. Leadership and Accountability Every task assignment will begin with direct involvement from our Principal-in-Charge, who establishes project objectives, confirms staBing assignments, and provides executive oversight throughout the life of the project. The assigned Project Manager serves as the City's primary point of contact and is responsible for daily communication, scheduling, consultant coordination, document quality, and budget management. Supporting the Project Manager is a multidisciplinary technical team that includes architectural staB, engineering consultants, quality control reviewers, and construction administration professionals whose experience spans municipal, commercial, institutional, hospitality, public facilities, parks, recreation, and infrastructure projects throughout Florida.

The two firms have developed an eBective working relationship founded on open communication, collaborative design, and coordinated project delivery. Most recently, the Miles Architecture Group–Ingenuity Engineers team was selected by the City of Sebastian to provide Continuing Architectural and Engineering Services, demonstrating the confidence that Florida municipalities have placed in our integrated team. That experience has strengthened our collaborative workflows, consultant coordination procedures, and commitment to responsive continuing services. Additional specialty consultants are incorporated as individual task orders require, allowing the City to access civil engineering, structural engineering, landscape architecture, surveying, permitting support, and other specialized disciplines through one coordinated contract. Resource Capacity Continuing services contracts require more than technical expertise—they require availability. 21 2600 Maitland Center Pkwy #295, Maitland, FL 32751 407-428-1024 RFQ # 26-07-01 CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING CONSULTING SERVICES Our staBing model is designed to support multiple concurrent task orders without compromising responsiveness or quality. Because responsibilities are distributed among experienced professionals rather than concentrated with one individual, our team maintains continuity throughout vacations, peak workloads, or overlapping assignments. Should workload increase significantly, Miles Architecture Group has the internal resources and established consultant relationships necessary to quickly expand staBing while maintaining the same management structure and quality standards. This scalable approach enables us to respond rapidly to: • Emergency assignments • Small renovation projects • Facility assessments • Building modifications • Park and recreation improvements • Municipal building upgrades • Public safety facilities • Long-term capital improvement projects Communication and Coordination EBicient communication is essential to successful continuing services. Every assignment follows a clearly defined communication protocol that keeps City staB informed while minimizing administrative burden. The Project Manager maintains regular communication with the City's designated representative, coordinates all consultant activities, manages schedules, tracks deliverables, and ensures that questions are resolved quickly. Internally, weekly coordination meetings among architectural and engineering disciplines provide ongoing design integration, proactive issue resolution, and continuous monitoring of schedule, budget, and quality objectives. This collaborative process significantly reduces redesign, minimizes change orders, and promotes eBicient project delivery. Commitment to Long-Term Partnership Miles Architecture Group views this continuing services contract as a long-term professional partnership rather than a series of individual projects. Our staBing philosophy reflects that commitment by assigning experienced professionals who understand municipal project delivery, public accountability, regulatory coordination, and the importance of responsive client service. The City will have direct access to senior leadership, experienced project managers, and technical specialists who are empowered to make decisions, resolve issues eBiciently, and consistently deliver high-quality architectural and engineering services throughout the duration of the contract. 22 2600 Maitland Center Pkwy #295, Maitland, FL 32751 407-428-1024 RFQ # 26-07-01 CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING CONSULTING SERVICES Project Team Miles L.

Success is measured not only by technical design excellence, but by the ability to respond quickly, manage multiple concurrent assignments, communicate proactively, and consistently deliver high-quality professional services throughout the life of the contract. Our methodology is built around becoming an extension of City staB. We assemble the appropriate professionals for each task order, establish clear lines of communication from project initiation through closeout, and maintain disciplined project controls that ensure schedule, budget, quality, and client expectations remain aligned. Working together with Ingenuity Engineers, our integrated architectural and engineering team provides the City with a single, coordinated source for architectural design, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection engineering, construction administration, and specialty consulting services. This collaborative delivery model minimizes coordination issues, accelerates decision-making, and produces well-integrated construction documents that reduce change orders during construction. Suitability of Our Methodology Every task order begins with understanding the City's objectives before design work begins. Our methodology emphasizes collaboration, early coordination, and disciplined project management to ensure each assignment is appropriately scoped, staBed, and scheduled. For every assignment we will: • Review the City's task authorization and establish project objectives • Conduct a kickoB meeting with City stakeholders • Confirm scope, budget, schedule, and regulatory requirements • Assemble the appropriate architectural and engineering disciplines • Establish communication protocols and milestone review dates • Develop a project-specific execution schedule • Maintain continuous interdisciplinary coordination throughout the project This structured process allows our team to eBiciently manage projects ranging from facility assessments and renovations to new construction, parks, municipal buildings, and infrastructure improvements. Overall Organization Our organizational structure is intentionally streamlined to provide clear accountability while allowing rapid mobilization. Miles Beach, AIA, President, serves as Principal-in-Charge and provides executive oversight, quality assurance, and client support throughout the duration of the contract. With more than 40 years of architectural experience leading commercial, municipal, 25 2600 Maitland Center Pkwy #295, Maitland, FL 32751 407-428-1024 RFQ # 26-07-01 CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING CONSULTING SERVICES institutional, hospitality, and mixed-use projects throughout Florida and the United States, he provides executive leadership, multidisciplinary coordination, and strategic direction for every assignment. Daily project management responsibilities are delegated to Rob White, who serves as the City's primary point of contact. Rob coordinates all architectural and engineering disciplines, manages project schedules, facilitates communication with City staB, and ensures each task progresses eBiciently from authorization through construction. Supporting Rob are: • Judith Trejo — Senior Project Architect • Tom Ray, AIA — Quality Assurance / Quality Control Manager • Brian Hessinger, P.E. — Principal Mechanical Engineer overseeing HVAC, Plumbing, and Fire Protection engineering with extensive municipal project experience. • Joe Harrill, P.E. — Executive Principal and Senior Electrical Engineer responsible for electrical systems, power distribution, lighting, emergency systems, and municipal facility coordination. This leadership structure allows decisions to be made quickly while maintaining executive involvement throughout every assignment. Meeting Project Schedules Continuing service contracts frequently require rapid response and simultaneous management of multiple assignments. Our team has developed internal procedures that allow us to quickly mobilize resources while maintaining consistent quality. Upon receipt of a task authorization we will: • Assign the appropriate project manager and technical staB immediately • Confirm project priorities with City staB • Develop a detailed milestone schedule • Coordinate consultant activities simultaneously rather than sequentially • Conduct scheduled progress meetings • Monitor deliverables using internal milestone tracking • Identify potential schedule risks early and implement corrective actions before delays occur Because architecture, MEP engineering, and specialty consultants work as one integrated team, many design activities occur concurrently, reducing overall project duration while improving coordination. 26 2600 Maitland Center Pkwy #295, Maitland, FL 32751 407-428-1024 RFQ # 26-07-01 CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING CONSULTING SERVICES Work Plan Our standard project delivery process follows seven integrated phases that can be scaled to meet the requirements of each task order: Phase 1 — Project Initiation Every assignment begins with a collaborative kickoB meeting to confirm the project objectives, scope, budget, schedule, and stakeholder expectations. Our team establishes communication protocols, assigns project responsibilities, and develops a detailed project execution plan to ensure a coordinated start and a clear path forward. Phase 2 — Existing Conditions & Programming We gather and verify all available information, including existing documentation, site conditions, utility infrastructure, and regulatory requirements. Meetings with City staB and stakeholders allow us to fully understand operational needs, identify project constraints, and establish the functional requirements that will guide the design process. Phase 3 — Concept Development Our design team develops practical, creative solutions that balance functionality, aesthetics, sustainability, constructability, and long-term value. Preliminary concepts are presented for review, allowing the City to evaluate alternatives, provide 27 2600 Maitland Center Pkwy #295, Maitland, FL 32751 407-428-1024 RFQ # 26-07-01 CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL ARCHITECTURAL AND ENGINEERING CONSULTING SERVICES feedback, and confirm the preferred design direction before advancing into detailed design. Phase 4 — Design Development During this phase, the architectural and engineering disciplines work as one integrated team to fully coordinate building systems, layouts, materials, and technical requirements. Regular interdisciplinary reviews ensure compliance with applicable codes, budget objectives, operational needs, and City expectations before construction documents are prepared. Phase 5 — Construction Documents We prepare complete, coordinated construction drawings and technical specifications suitable for permitting, bidding, and construction. Every document undergoes rigorous internal Quality Assurance/Quality Control reviews to minimize conflicts, improve constructability, and reduce the potential for change orders during construction. Phase 6 — Permitting & Procurement Support Our team works closely with permitting agencies and City staB to obtain timely regulatory approvals while responding promptly to review comments. We also provide procurement support by preparing bid documents, responding to contractor questions, issuing addenda when necessary, and assisting the City throughout the solicitation process. Phase 7 — Construction Administration Throughout construction, we remain actively engaged to protect the City’s interests and ensure the project is built in accordance with the contract documents. Services include shop drawing reviews, responses to Requests for Information (RFIs), site observations, pay application reviews, coordination with the contractor, and final project closeout Continuous Throughout All Phases • Client Collaboration Open and consistent communication with City staB is maintained throughout every phase of the project. Regular meetings, progress updates, and timely decision- making ensure the City remains fully informed and engaged. • Interdisciplinary Coordination Architecture, structural, MEP, fire protection, and specialty consultants collaborate continuously to produce fully coordinated design solutions.
