History
BEA Architects Inc., is a full-service architectural design firm
founded in 2000 by Bruno-Elias Ramos, AlA. In addition to
architectural services, we offer planning services, computer
animation, interior design and construction management. Ef-
ficient coordination between disciplines results in fluid delivery
of services. The firm is careful to maintain a core group of
principals and associates-all leading professionals in their
fields-to ensure quality control and consistency.
BEA is fully certified and licensed with Workers' Compensation,
Professional Liability and General Liability Insurance Coverage.
We are also a Hispanic-owned Minority Business Enterprise
serving Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach Counties as
well as countries throughout the world.
Past Performance
BEA has provided comprehensive architectural services
throughout the state of Florida and has an excellent performance
record due to our project management techniques and technical
credentials. BEA's firm experience includes municipal buildings
(fire stations, police stations, public safety facilities and libraries),
office buildings, retail and commercial interiors, restaurants,
schools and luxury residences. To complement this general
practice, the firm specializes in passenger terminals and is a
world leader in transportation architecture.
The diverse personal experience of the core group adds concert
halls, hotels, hi-rise residential, and department stores to our
repertoire. BEA, in its 10th year, is a renowned and seasoned
firm with a proven track record. The firm's versatility stems from
our interdisciplinary approach to a wide variety of services, rang-

cessful completion of our client objectives. Having the latest in

services including master planning and conceptual design. This
experience is invaluable in providing efficient project services
to our Public Sector clients.
-SEA Architects was a great company to
work with. The company was very

Work Flow
At the onset of the project our team will set up a project initia-
tion meeting to discuss the main challenges and opportunities
and establish:
· Project scope and budget. We shall discuss the project scope
and budget to ascertain its feasibility, and suggest adjustments
if necessary.
· Establish project goals. Work with the city project manager
to identify specific goals, and offer suggestions for growth
based on those goals.
· Establish design parameters, if historical, contextual or
other.
. Establish timetable of deliverables for all phases from Sche-
matics, 30%, 60%, 90% and final contract documents.
. Establish protocol for invoicing and monitoring fees, and
determining what services are part of the agreement.
. Establish protocol for permitting / bidding phase.
Though it may seem simplistic, the smooth flow of the
project(s) depends on the clear and mutual understanding
and agreement on these matters.
We will prepare a project schedule delineating project meet-
ings and dates, for all phases. Gus Berenblum and Manny
Mele shall attend key meetings together with other team
members, as necessary.
Maintain Time Schedules
BEA is equipped to handle multiple jobs without affecting
the flow or the ability to meet deadlines. Projects under
$1,000,000 will carry the project manager, a project architect
and a junior architect with draftingltechnical support as needed
per phase.
BEA works with the latest digital programs such asAUTOCAD
and REVIT/BIM as well as 3D Max and other simulation soft-
ware. These programs are necessary to maintain accuracy,
repeatability and quick turnaround on revisions. In addition
we have an in-house graphics department for full printing and
binding capabilities including reprographic output and prepara-
tion of brochures and other media related to the project.
Cost Control
Our approach to value engineering and cost control is tied to
our design philosophy - we work comparatively and collabora-
tively, presenting various options to the client at early stages
of design developing the project together. These options are
analyzed for cost impact as well as design and schedule
implications, The value engineering process is most effective
when it's the result of collaboration between the architect,

BfA has extensive working relationships with
regulatory agencies including but not limited to:

engineer, general contractor, and owner, so that choices
are made together and implications weighed from all sides.
We see value engineering as a response to ever shifting
project conditions. Market environments, labor forces and
availability of products can change dramatically during
the life of a project, typically spaning several years, affect
the cost. Therefore, its part of our business landscape so
our team will be prepared to accommodate change within
reason.
Quality Control
BEA employs a 3-step quality control review system, Manny
Mele, the project manager, is the first reviewer of the work
product. His mark-ups are incorporated and sent to John
Colao, AlA QNQC, who is not directly associated with the
project. Said partner's comments are incorporated and sent
to the project Principal, Gus Berenblum, for a final review.
Each person's mark-ups are recorded in their own color and
the entire check set is maintained on file for the client. In
addition, Bruno Elias Ramos, as peer reviewer and principal
in charge of BEA, will conduct specific analysis of project
documentation.
The 3-step process is used at 60% and 100% construction
documents as well as in earlier phases. Of course, the cli-
ent is the fourth step of the review process. Though it may
appear at first cumbersome, we have found controlling
documents in this manner helps projects of all size to run
smoothly.
Schematic Design & Programming
At the start of the project we will conduct a program
verification and as stated before, a schedule and budget
analysis. During the schematic design phase we will create
the design concept and visualize communications to the
client via sketched plans, sections, elevations and mod-
els as necessary to fully convey the main idea. Working
corroboratively, we will bring several options to the table
and together choose the most desirable (per aesthetics,
sustainability, cost schedules and technical implications),
to be developed further.
RFQ #10-04-02 Professional Architectural Services I 4
Design Development
At this stage, the team identifies the major project com-
ponents and systems. This will include those that have a
direct impact on LEED certification if applicable. We work
collaboratively and with comparative studies, present design
alternatives in 2D and 3D for the client's evaluation and
conduct several presentation meetings and final submittal
review meeting with the client.
Construction Documents
Once approved by the City of Sunny Isles Beach, we pro-
ceed with the preparation of construction documents and
specifications. Normally this phase is broken in 50% and
100% Submittals. Although, per client's request it can also
be broken-down further. At each one of the milestones, we
submit complete sets of plans and specifications and conduct
a review meeting with the owner's representative and main
users to convey and explain the project details so that the
main stakeholders are informed. Any comment resulting from
this and other owner's review are incorporated immediately
into the final work product for construction. A key element to
this phase is to achieve a thorough coordination between all
the disciplines. BEA performs regular coordination meetings
with the engineers and requires follow up meetings to ensure
that the revisions have been incorporated.
Bid Process
If the project is delivered as hard-bid, we assist the client
through the process preparing the bid package, tabulating
bids and responding to questions from prospective bidders
as well as attending the pre-bid conference. If the delivery
process is CM-at-Risk, we participate in the negotiating pro-
cess and assist the client as required, in addition to providing
responses to questions that the CM might have.
Permitting
BEA tracks permitting on a daily basis and updates a permit
schedule for each project which is sent to the city's Project
manager to keep him/her informed of the permit status.
BEA has extensive working relationships with the regulatory
agencies including but not limited to: Building and Zoning,
Fire Marshal's Office, DERM, WASA, HRS and DEP. We
are proactive and keep the agencies informed conducting
meetings prior to permit submittal (Dry-Run) in order to pick
up comments PRIOR to seeking the Building Permit.

Construction Administration Services, review of con.
tractor's submittal and Close.out Documents.
Our team works closely with the contractor during the
construction period, being sensitive to their time constrains
and review needs for shop drawings as well as other sub-
mittals. We participate in the weekly construction meetings,
preparing minutes, leading and coordinating the efforts and
maintaining a pro-active stance until project delivery. We
conduct meetings on a bi-weekly basis specifically to ad-
dress submittals that are forthcoming and those that require
immediate response. BEA has senior representation in these
meetings with the project manager and project director when
the need arises in addition to support staff. We require that
our engineers and consultants to be regularly present in the
construction meetings and site observation meetings to keep
up to date of events and respond accordingly. Close-out doc-
uments are reviewed by our QA/QC team for compliance with
project specifications. We request the contractor to submit a
preliminary set of c1ose-out documents at approximately 90%
project completion, so that we provide a cursory review with
comments, that when adopted, will facilitate and expedite
the final approval ofthe final documents. If contracted for this
service, BEA will prepare an updated set of as-built plans in
CAD. The process of updating plans to show built conditions
is performed by our architects and engineers completed as
construction progresses rather than at the end of the project.
In this way, not only are we able to finish the as-built more
rapidly, but also assure that built conditions are documented
soon after the work has been completed making it easier to
address any questions.

· SEA was commissioned to conduct a structural study of the culverts under
6th and 10th Streets in Miami Beach. Structural analysis was performed in an effort
to determine for the city whether or not the culverts, in their existing physical condi-
tion, could withstand the stress applied on them by trucks carrying heavy loads. A
simple analysis of the findings determined that the culverts, built in the 1940's and
50's, did not meet the current standard in terms of structural strength. Careful scrutiny
by BEA, however, revealed that with proper maintenance and the implementation
of a load restriction signage program, the culverts will likely continue to function
as they have in the last 50 years. Consequently, the city's engineers were able to
avert an unnecessary and costly replacement, and avoid the heavy burden that
would have been placed on the Flamingo-Lummus neighborhood. Fees: $30,000

Design, plans review, RF/, and permitting
SEA was selected to design a state-of-the-art community center and branch library of the Miami-Dade County library system.
The client initially requested a 30,000 square foot, 2-story facility. However, SEA demonstrated that building two separate, single-story
15,000 square foot structures was more effective, more aesthetic, and no more costly. The two distinct structures confer a campus
environment more conducive to a park setting.
SEA worked closely with architects of the Public Library System and the General Services Administration to tailor a flagship facility.
Natural light bathes the entire interior and reduces lighting costs. The facility is fully wired and contains a separate meeting hall. The
open plan was designed to maximize visibility inside the library to reduce the need for time-intensive facility monitoring.

BEA provided architectural design services for a $2.8 million, two-story rail station in Opa Locka in conformance with Tri-Rail Authority
standards and utilizing value-engineering analysis. A Moorish style consistent with Opa Locka's historic beginnings and established
architecture was emphasized. Preserving a degree of "openness" for a feeling of visibility and safety while imparting the solidity and
mass of the Moorish style required special consideration. The station features two towers rising 70 feet. The station began operation
in May 2002.

SEA developed the design for a parking facility which connects to both Cruise Terminal 8 and Cruise Terminal 10 at the Port of Cape
Canaveral. Pedestrian bridges are utilized to route passengers and visitors over vehicular traffic passing between the terminals and
the garage. Color tensile-fabric panels of Port Canaveral scenes adorn the facility's exterior fa~ade, and the main elevator is encased
in a glass tower. The building accommodates 1300 vehicles within 407,000 sq. ft. over six stories. A suspended, translucent roof land-
mark was originally designed to greet visitors at its entrance so that after sunset, interior lighting would cause it to glow against the
night sky. Construction budget restraints prevented the incorporation of this element. The design criteria were used in a design-build
construction approach.

LEED-Certified project. We have 5 LEED Accredited Professionals in-house.

BEA is serving as Principal Architect for modernizing an a.story, 115,000 sq. ft. Miami Beach hotel. Age and renovations by various prior
owners have taken their toll on the 1950 structure. While honoring the visual intent of the original Miami Modern style, "green design"
concepts and new materials will upgrade the designated historical property into South Florida's first LEED-certified 5-star luxury hotel.
Working with Skidmore, Owings & Merrill of New York, BEA is preserving most of the footprint and fa~ade of the building while enlarg-
ing guest rooms and adding upper floor balcony bays where the building is wider at its base. Aspects of green design include rooftop
gardens, a series of skylights shedding natural light over interior spaces, and utilizing fair colors for flooring and appurtenances in
order to reduce lighting needs.
