RE: Miscellaneous Landscape Architectural Services
Dear Mr. DePietro:
I. SCOPE OF SERVICES
RDG is pleased to submit a proposal for professional
landscape architectural services for the City of Sunny
Isles Beach. We can offer the following services for
you to select from, as we jointly determine the need,
based on citizen input, the City Commission's goals, and
coordination with your Comprehensive Master Plan
consultant, Walter H. Keller.
A. Prepare a City-wide Landscape Development Master Plan
which will:
- identify landscape enhancement opportunities along
public open spaces
- suggest strategies for public -private cooperation
- provide input to Walter Keller in the preparation
of a landscape ordinance
- provide input to Walter Keller in the preparation
of the Community Design Elements of the
Comprehensive Plan
- aid in the establishment of priorities for
specific projects
B. If specifically requested by the City Manager in
writing, provide traffic analysis and planning
services through our consultant, Marlin Engineering,
to assess opportunities on a case by case basis for
pedestrian safety enhancement, traffic calming,
adjusting travel lanes and parking configurations to
develop opportunities for landscape beautification,
etc. This would not be a duplication of overall
concepts being developed by Walter Keller, but a
more detailed study on selected streets.
