Limiting our response to claims within its South Region arising out of the performance of professional services, and

Over the past five years, AECOM has been involved in multiple mergers, asset purchases, etc. The following litigation
history reflects the experience of these companies from the time that the respective assets were acquired by AECOM or
the companies came under ownership and control of AECOM unless otherwise stated. Limiting this response to claims

02 I Qualifications
Park Planning & Design Experience
AECOM's Florida offices are national leaders in parks and
open space planning and design for cities and counties,
including:
1
. Park, Trail, Bikeways, Greenway Master Planning and
Design
. Athletic Facility Master Planning and Design
. Wayfinding and Interpretive Graphics/Sign Design
. Natural Resource/Recreation Management Planning
. ADA/Sustainability Audits
. Visioning and Facilitation
. Design-Criteria and Construction Documents, Project
Management and Construction Administration
. Parks and Recreation System Master Planning, Strategic
Planning, Needs Assessments
AECOM's mission is to "Enhance and Sustain the World's
Built, Natural and Social Environments", and we believe
that a community's system of parks and open spaces can
generate significant economic, environmental and social
benefits, and can help the community become livable and
sustainable.
Due to our experience working on numerous similar park
planning and design projects, the City of Sunny Isles Beach
will benefit from:
1) AECOM's in-house resources
2) Our expertise and commitment to the profession of
Park Planning and Design
3) Our expertise and commitment to Green Design and
Sustainability Planning
First, we are able to provide all major services for the
project "in-house", including urban design, landscape
architecture, architecture, civil engineering, electrical
engineering and structural engineering design. This means
that AECOM will assume full responsibility for all aspects
of the project; the project will be designed by seasoned
professional with extensive parks experience; there will
be no gaps in communication or responsibilities between
subconsultants; and all work will be carefully reviewed
through AECOM's QA/QC program, as described in the
Approach/Methodology section.
Second, we are one of the few firms in the country to have a
full-time Parks and Public Space Planning and Design team,
fully dedicated to parks and public realm projects similar to
the Intracoastal Parks. Our Project Director, Jay Hood is a
registered Landscape Architect with over twenty-two years
of experience in site design and David Barth, our Principal
Planner is a Certified Parks and Recreation Professional
(CPRP) - in addition to a Landscape Architect and Planner
- who has been immersed in the parks and recreation
profession for over 25 years. He is active in the Florida
and National Recreation and Parks Associations, and
regularly speaks and writes regarding public involvement,
needs assessments, levels of service, park design and
construction, sustainable parks and other current topics.
He is also known as an expert facilitator and consensus-
builder, which will be helpful as the City works to reach
community consensus regarding the design of the
Intracoastal Parks.
Finally, our commitment to green design, LEED design
principles and sustainable parks is of great value to the
City. As discussed previously, our team has extensive
experience in green design and LEED certification. We
will not only consider how the Intracoastal Parks can be
designed to be as sustainable and energy efficient as
possible - but how the parks can contribute to the overall
economic, social and environmental sustainability of the
City as well.

Project Manager's Experience
In addition to George Puig's qualifications listed in Section 3
(Staffing), as a registered landscape architect and certified
CPTED professional, George has specific park project
management experience in Sunny Isles Beach as the Project
Manager for Heritage Park and other similar waterfront
park projects throughout South Florida such as One Miami
Riverwalk, Miami Circle, and Indian Creek Greenway. This
experience has given George the understanding that public
parks contain a great potential to raise the quality of life
of urban citizens and enhance social sustainability as they
offer opportunities for equal participation as well as lasting
economic, social, cultural and environmental benefits.
George is skilled at identifying elements of planning,
design, management and operations of park elements
that foster a socially sustainable appropriation of public
parks. George is a strong believer that the contemporary
solution to the problem of an urban park is to create a
field of separate, (but sometimes inter-connected) follies,
instrumentations, pavilions, prescribed sequences, and
expositional arenas to capture and command the attention
of the populace for the purpose of recreation, or respite
from the city.
Recent examples of George's experience as the project
manager of park projects that include site improvements
valued at a minimum construction cost of $1 ,000,000
include:
. City of Sunny Isles Beach Heritage Park ($5 Million)
. City of Sunny Isles Beach - Pelican Park & Community
Center ($8 Million)
. Related Group - One Miami Riverwalk Extension ($1.7
Million)
. Related Group - Brickell Park ($1.1 Million)
. City of Miami Beach - Indian Creek Greenway ($9.2 Million)
. City of Plantation - Plantation Preserve ($1.5 Million)
. Miami Dade County Parks & Recreation Department~
Tropical Park Cultural Arts Center ($5 Million)
. National Park Service - Big Cypress ORV Trail Heads ($5
Million)
Experience Working on LEED Certified Projects,
Environmental and Sustainable Initiatives
AECOM is comprised of a team of talented, passionate

practices, rainwater capture and recycling systems, green
roofs, rain gardens, solar orientation, environmental
restoration and water quality enhancement.
AECOM has provided a wide variety of services for projects
that have received recognition for their sustainability or
green design. In total, AECOM has worked on 65 LEED
certified projects and 148 LEED registered projects.
For example, as the master planning and landscape
architecture consultants for Oakland Park, a residential
development in Winter Garden, Florida, we helped design
the first community in Central Florida to be certified as a
Green Development by the FGBC.
We are ready and committed to assist the City of Sunny
Isles Beach in developing a Intracoastal Parks project that

Parks and
Open Space
Planning
A community's system of parks and
open spaces can generate significant
economic, environmental and social
benefits, and can help the community
become more livable and sustainable.
AECOM has helped communities
throughout the United States plan,
develop and implement parks and
open-space systems that have
improved residents' quality of life and
the local economy. Other benefits we
help achieve include: reduced
operations and maintenance costs; a
better understanding of residents'
recreation needs and lifestyles;
prioritization of spending; attraction of
more residents, visitors and
businesses; alignment of
comprehensive plans, capital
improvements programs, impact fees
and land development regulations
within the parks and open space
vision; improved opportunities for
grants, partnerships, donations and
other funding mechanisms; and
community involvement and
excitement.
The AECOM approach to parks and
open-space planning includes:
- An inventory and analysis of the
existing system, including facilities,
programs, staffing, operations,
maintenance and fees
- Creating a long-range vision,
including parks and open spaces,
recreation facilities and programs,
greenways and trails, streets, civic
spaces and natural areas
- Assessing community needs and
priorities, including qualitative,
quantitative and observational
techniques
- Creating open-space design
prototypes and guidelines, including
neighborhood and community parks,
sports complexes and special use
facilities, greenways and trails
- Developing "Level of Service"
standards and related regulations,
including acrElage, access, facilities,
quality and programs
- Developing an implementation
strategy, including cost estimates,
funding opportunities, maintenance
plans, capital improvements
priorities, programs, organizational
structure, policies and standards,
codes and partnerships
- Writing a masterplan document and
seeing it through the process,
including preparing reports, an
executive summary, a graphical
poster and presentations
AECOM helps make communities more
livable, sustainable and green by
designing excellent public realms. We
work collaboratively with clients to
determine needs, design long-range
visions and develop realistic strategies
to bring those visions to fruition.

Miami Circle
Discovered in 1998, the Miami Circle at Brickell Point is a
nationally significant archaeological site located at the
mouth of the Miami River in Downtown Miami.
Archaeological excavations at the site uncovered
components of the primary village of the Tequesta, one of
the first Native North American groups encountered by Juan
Ponce de Leon in 1513.
In January 2009, the Miami Circle was designated a National
Historic Landmark by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
AECOM was selected by the HistoryMiami to implement
planning and design efforts at the Miami Circle. Plans
include recreational and educational opportunities in an
urban park setting for local residents, tourists and those
interested in the Circle's spiritual associations. Visitors
have access to the site which features native plantings,
interpretive panels, benches and regularly scheduled
guided tours.

One Miami Riverwalk
Downtown Miami's first new luxury
residential project in more than
two decades, One Miami plays a
pivotal role in creating a true 24-hour
city. With its exceptional bayfront
site (wherethe Miami River meets
Biscayne Bay) and dramatic signature
lighting, One Miami is a soaring tribute
to the city's bright future at the
crossroads of the Americas.
One Miami's two magnificent 44-
and 45-story residential towers rise
in tribute to the city's energy and
vibrancy. Developed in partnership
with the City of Miami, the One Miami
Riverwalk includes a variety of plazas
and native, tropical landscaping.
The luxurious baywalk promenade
leads the public through a series of
distinct plazas and courts including
both the Waterwall Plaza and the
Plaza of Light. Also encountered
along the waterfront are seven
exclusive art pieces inspired by the
site. Integration of this site-specific
artwork along the Riverwalk creates a
vivid experience to be enjoyed by all.
Working with Arquitectonica, we

'"
AECOM has developed the master plan and landscape
architecture for Kissimmee's new Lakefront Park. A
significant AECOM driven strategy within the project is to
reconfigure an existing waterfront park and roadway
system to create a more functional public open space as
well as highly attractive and usable adjacent parcels for
economic development. The result is a repositioned 25 acre
community park on Lake Toho, new 'Green Street'
streetscapes connecting the lake to Downtown, and
approximately 8 acres of new redevelopment property,
addressed on the new Lakeview Drive and proximate to a
planned future downtown commuter rail station.
The new park strengthens the relationship of Lake
Tohopekaliga to the Downtown, and provides a variety of
community engagement opportunities. The northern half of
the park is designed to reinforce the garden like character
of the park, respond to a significant Live Oak canopy and
several important civic monuments and community
buildings. The southern half accommodates large
community events, including an enhanced marina /
restaurant complex which will become the focus of the
fishing tournaments that Kissimmee is known for. The park
is unified in the center by Ruby Avenue plaza and pier,
market pavilion and waterfront steps. Rain gardens, native
plantings, rebuilt seawall and educational sign age make the
park a demonstration of green design principles. The
waterfront promenade, walking trails, playgrounds, small
and large pavilions, splash park and events areas insure
that this park will be meaningful to all members of the
community for big events and breezy afternoons on the
waterfront.

Lakeland, FL, USA
Client: City of Lakeland
These services were provided by AECOM professionals during
their employment with Glatting Jackson Kercher Anglin, Inc.
Located in downtown Lakeland and listed on the National
Register of Historic Places, Lake Mirror Park serves as both
the urban centerpiece and historic heart of the city. As
such, the concept driving the master planning of the park
was "A reflection of Lakeland's past and a looking glass to
its future". The park was designed with the specific
objectives of opening vistas to the central lake from the
surrounding community, providing opportunities for quality
private development adjacent to and within the park,
offering active and passive uses for residents and visitors
of all ages, and creating opportunities to reflect the City's
illustrious history and locate public art.
Features developed around the park include:
The Main Street Overlook: Main Street, which bisected a
portion of the existing park, was realigned to allow space
for this formal plaza connecting the downtown with the
historic loggia. The plaza was designed as a tribute to the
Architectural heritage of the City.
Allen Kryger Overlook Park: A public gathering area that
offers wonderful views over the park as well as serves as
pre-function space for the adjacent Terrace Hotel for
banquets and events.
Hollis Garden: A formal garden that celebrates special
features of Central Florida and man's historic influence in
the area. Garden areas or 'rooms' include a grotto,
vegetable and herb garden, tropical garden, native planting
area, a butterfly garden, and color garden.
Amphitheater: Large, terraced grass steps facing the
promenade and lake, with views of the downtown beyond.
Barnett Family Park: A children's play park expressing the
rich cultural and natural history of Lakeland. Elements
within the park include an interpretive playground, splash-
pad with mosaic-tile mural, labyrinth, and open play area.
The Mirrors, Long Green, and Rose Street Gateway: New
walk connections, trellises with swings, and seating areas
along the eastern edge of the Lake that are designed as a
reflection of Lakeland's past.
North Promenade and Railroad Pavilion: Completion of the
historic promenade around the lake and addition of
classically-designed trellis feature with steps down into
the water.

These services were provided by AECOM professionals during
their employment with Glatting Jackson Kercher Anglin.
In 1996 the voters of Martin County approved a bond
referendum to help acquire and develop the Indian Riverside
Park. Additional monies were provided by the Florida
Communities Trust. Thus, a major focus in redevelopment
of the site was the preservation, enhancement and
restoration of existing natural systems, such as the 2,500
feet of Indian River frontage and the interior mangrove
swamp. Glatting Jackson ecologists evaluated fl ora and
fauna on this subtropical site, for both upland and estuarine
systems, and accumulated extensive species lists for
each. Subsequently, the ecological design process focused
on the protection and enhancement of these systems.
Stormwater treatment was retrofi tted into the existing
project, and integrated into the enhancement plan for the
interior mangrove swamp. The preservation and
enhancement of upland, mangrove and seagrass systems
was accomplished while providing recreational
opportunities for the citizens of Martin County.

Ecology played a meaningful role in
the park's design. Porous pavements
minimize stormwater runoff. The use
of native plant materials allows for
reduced irrigation and pesticide use. A
regional retention pond and sections
of shoreline edged with aquatic
plants provide first flush cleansing of
storm water, as well as a habitat for
indigenous marine and bird species.

Phoenix Downtown Civic Space
Civic Space Park is a unique and innovative
addition to downtown Phoenix. Weaving
together an urban oasis with the downtown
fabric, it is distinguished by elements
that are versatile and forward-thinking.
Public and private, past and future, art
and engineering; are all integrated into
the design, which reflects a commitment
to public engagement, sustainability,
and community. The partnership of city,
community, and designers created a vibrant
and iconic destination at the city's heart.
The park offers residents, workers,
students, and visitors a compelling
experience of urban design, green space,
shade structu res, interactive LED lighting
columns and water features, public art-
and a lesson in sustainable design. This
civic space is unique because it weaves
together contextual elements from a
variety of user groups, including visitors
and neighborhood residents. The location
of the park is also central to Arizona State
Ao;-COM
University's downtown campus, with
a focus on pedestrian passages, bus
routes, and light rail connections. Directly
adjacent to the Downtown Central Station,
the park blends public realm with mass
transit. The park sits between the north
and south lines of the new Valley Metro
Light Rail and, as a part of the park design,
created a mid-block crossing from the
Taylor Street pedestrian corridor.
The final construction of the space was
completed nine months ago which has
provided an excellent amount of time to
receive feedback from the residents and
visitors of the park. Along with numerous
articles of praise and awards, the city has
received incredibly positive feedback from
the public. Civic Space Park has achieved
one of its main goals of being flexible
enough to fit the needs of the multitude of
user groups, while still providing a distinct
design with unique and iconic elements to
a growing metropolis.

Giant frogs, spiders, bees, inch-worms,
ants and dragon flies are designed for
climbing and are integrated with
playground equipment that resemble a
spider's web, a bee hive and an inch
worm's body. The interactive water
fountain is surrounded by a series of
tile mosaic murals that offer a
wonderful display of native flora and
fauna. Alligators, panthers,
grasshoppers, humming birds, herons,
bears, large-mouth bass and
butterflies are all part of the mosaic.
I n addition to the interactive water
fountain and the bug-themed
playground, Barnett Family Park also

a new community building. The
successful design of the Park has
created a unique and wonderful play
place in downtown Lakeland.

In February 2007, Miami-Dade County
contracted us to review and revise the
wayfinding at county parks, trails, and
marinas. The goal of this project was
to better understand concerns users
may have with locating, accessing and
using these public facilities. Our
discovery has been focused upon
gathering com parables, project
research, and site analysis of each
facility type. The culmination of this
discovery phase of the project has led
to the creation of the project program

pertinent information such as project

architectural styles, wayfinding
concerns, terminology, multilingual
requirements, and priority

has been developed through input
from the Miami-Dade County Parks &
Recreation leadership, park staff and
the public end-users, and will serve as
the spring board that will ultimately
lead to the design of a wayfinding
system. This system will follow seven
principals established for this effort.
These principals have been developed
as a guide to ensure that all designs
work towards a common goal focused
on these guiding objectives.
Project Principals:
1. Provide access to all cultures
2. Promote brand awareness
3. Clear direction to destinations
4. Promote interpretive experiences
5. Direct to public transportation
6. Promote path/trail safety
7. Design consistency

Kissimmee Lakefront Park
Wayfinding
These services were provided by AECOM
professionals during their employment
with Glatting Jackson Kercher Anglin, Inc.
This 25-acre park is located in
downtown Kissimmee on the shores of
Lake Tohopekaliga. The design team
worked with the City of Kissimmee's
Parks and Recreation department and
the Downtown CRA to redevelop the
park, focusing on the historical,
ecological and social needs of a
growing waterfront community. The
lakefront park utilizes innovative
stormwater management, flexible civic
space design, active and passive
waterfront recreation, and world-class
art to create the premiere community
gathering space for the citizens of
Kissimmee as well as surrounding
neighbors.
GlattingJackson developed a
comprehensive wayfinding system that
will help direct visitors to various
destinations within the park. The
overall wayfinding system includes
directional signs, kiosk maps, and
interpretive signage. The goal of the
interpretive sign program will help
educate visitors not only about the rich
history of the waterfront and
surrounding areas, but also the
ecological improvements of the park.
The design team was challenged with
keeping the aesthetic consistent with
the new wayfinding system in the
Historic Downtown area, also created
by Glatting Jackson, while maintaining
a sense of place and brand unique to
the park.

Architects
The Adrienne Arsht Center for the
Performing Arts is a spectacular public
space within a tight urban setting. To
enhance the connection between the Opera
House and the Concert Hall, we proposed an
oval plaza spanning Biscayne Boulevard
articulated with rings of plantings, water
and unique paving patterns reminiscent of
Miami's multiple cultures.
The fountain, which is a collaboration with
artist Anna Murch, creates a magical space
for special outdoor performances. AECOM
and Balmori Associates worked together on
the design of public spaces and landscape
architecture. By preserving the historic
Sears Tower and adapting its base for use as
a small restaurant, this highly visible anchor
to the public plaza continues to serve as a
city landmark.

Project Experience
Miami Circle, Miami, FL
Discovered in 1998, the Miami Circle at Brickell Point is a
nationally significant archaeological site located at the
mouth of the Miami River in downtown Miami. The Miami
Circle was designated a National Historic Landmark by
the U.S. Department of the Interior. The firm was selected
by the Historical Museum of South Florida to implement
planning and design efforts at the Miami Circle. Plans
include recreational and education opportunities in an
urban park setting for local residents, tourists and those
interested in the Circle's spiritual associations. Mr. Hood
served as the Principal Designer of the Master Plan and
Phase I Implementation.
Baldwin Park - Neighborhood Parks and Open Space,
Orlando, FL
Mr. Hood served as Principal-in-Charge for the project. As
the Master Landscape Architect, the firm has provided
Baldwin Park Development Company with a full range of
design services that include conceptual design through
construction observation. Projects include the village
center and harbor on Lake Baldwin as well as a variety

parks, streetscape design, tree preservation and relocation,
environmental communication graphics, trail design and
lake edge restoration.
Church Street Streetscape, Orlando, FL
The Church Street Streetscape project is one of the key
first steps toward realizing the Orlando Venues Master
Plan of redevelopment. Running in front of and to the west
of the Orlando Amway Center, this streetscape project
will act as a catalyst for the eventual redevelopment of
the surrounding land uses; help establish an identity
for the burgeoning downtown retail-entertainment core
while respecting the heritage, values, and function of the
surrounding neighborhoods. For this project, AECOM was
a sub-consultant to WBQ Design and Engineering. Mr.
Hood served as AECOM Principal-in-Charge. The project
includes public involvement and concept to construction
phase services. The construction budget for this project
is estimated to $12.5 million. Funding for this project

A1A Scenic Byway, FL
Mr. Hood served as Principal Design Landscape Architect
for this project. "Scenic and Historic A1A" abounds with
white sandy beaches, recreational opportunities, and
history dating back before the birth of this country. The
Master Plan uses art and architecture that educates and
inspires the scenic byway traveler, while visually connecting
the resources along the byway. To provide access to the
many resources along the scenic highway, the Master
Plan identifies opportunities to enhance or complete the
pedestrian and bicycle system. Detailed cross-sections
and conceptual landscaping were included. Traffic calming
measures were recommended to improve safety or to
enhance the pedestrian and bicycle experience. Site plans
were prepared for existing and new parks located along
"Scenic and Historic A1A". A Wayfinding Master Plan was
developed to assist the traveler in finding their destination
and to provide a consistent "branding" to "Scenic and
Historic A1A".

City of Orlando Amway Center Streetscape, Orlando, FL
Our firm created the Orlando Venues Master Plan which
established a blueprint for the redevelopment of Downtown
Orlando. In addition to being a catalyst for redevelopment,
this project focuses on seamlessly integrating one of the
City's newest venues, the Amway Center, into the urban
fabric. Currently we are providing the City with design and
project management services coordi nating the streetscape
project with all affected City of Orlando Departments,
Orlando Venues projects and Public Works. Mr. Hood
serves as the Principal-in-Charge and Senior Designer
for the project. One of the projects challenges is creating
a "dynamic passage" underneath interstate highway 1-4
connecting City-owned parking with the new center. This
is achieved through a design utilizing sound, lighting and
animated images creating an exciting corridor experience.
The streetscape project is estimated to be a $4 Million
capital improvement with completion anticipated in August
2010.
Hollis Garden, lakeland, FL
Mr. Hood was the Principal Designer for this project and was
responsible for the design and construction documents for
this detailed garden on Lake Mirror in Downtown Lakeland,
Florida. Hollis Gardens is a formal garden located within

Authority to develop a pedestrian friendly streetscape
for South Miami Avenue to help spur new economic
development within the historic Brickell Village
neighborhood. Jay served as senior designer. The master
planning process included coordination and input from the
DDA, City and County Staff stakeholders, businesses and
the public. The culmination of the master planning effort
was a master plan, report and cost estimate which focused
upon creating a safe, pedestrian environment for residents
and visitors alike.
Barnett Family Park, Lakeland, Fl
Mr. Hood served as Principal Designer. The main design
theme for the park is "discovery" of the natural wonders
found within and surrounding the City of Lakeland. Creative
play environments allow for visitors to learn about the
fascinating plants and animals found nearby by climbing
on kid-sized insects. Giant frogs, spiders, bees, inch-
worms, ants and dragon flies are designed for climbing and
are integrated with playground equipment that resemble
a spider's web, a bee hive and an inch worm's body. The
interactive water fountain is surrounded by a series of tile

Governi ng Board of the SWFWM D and to the Polk Cou nty
Board of County Commissioners. The Plan provides details
for short-term management actions and provides the
framework for a long-term vision for conservation arou nd
the Lake.
Osceola County Conservation Planning, Osceola County
Parks and Recreation Department Osceola County, FL
Dr. Exum has represented Osceola County on the creation
of a conservation strategy for dozens of thousands of
acres around Lake Toho, and created natural resource
management plans for the major drainage basins within the
County. Our work began with the facilitation of a technical
working group in order to create Development Order
conditions for six large-scale development projects in the
northeastern portion of Osceola County. These criteria set
the stage for conservation of significant natural resources,
protection of Lake Toho, and strategies for conserving listed
species including the federally-endangered snail kite and
dozens of bald eagle nests which occur around the lake.
We crafted Comprehensive Plan amendments and details
for a Smart Code for mixed-use development. In addition,
we prepared specific natural resource management plans
for three tracts for which resource-based recreation and
ecological restoration are proposed.
Natural Resource Planning, Suwannee River Water
Management District (SRWMD), Live Oak, FL
Dr. Exum has represented the SRWMD for more than a
decade. His initial work included the development of
a comprehensive resource-based plan for recreation
across District lands. This plan included methodology
for determining whether a proposed recreation activity
was appropriate, and for assessing when these activities
would cause irreparable impact to the environment. Since
68
City of Sunny Isles Beach I Design & Permitting Services of the Intracoastal Parks RFQ No. 12-04-04
k..-coM
that time, baseline monitoring has been conducted, an
environmental management system has been established,
and a review of the environmental impacts from specific
activities has been conducted. Dr. Exum prepared a
comprehensive strategy for conservation of seven large
springs that included recommendations for enhancing
natural habitat, long-term measures for improving water
quality, and an assessment of compatible resource-based
recreation. Dr. Exum helped obtain funding for restoration
of the wiregrass understory in a rejuvenated longleaf pine
ecosystem as a part of a carbon sequestration off-set
project.
Open Space Plan, City of Aiken, SC
Dr. Exum participated as principal ecologist in the
development of a comprehensive open space plan for the
City. During the planning process, seven predominant types
of open space were identified. These included: natural
lands, agricultural lands, equestrian lands, historic and
cultural resources, parks, civic spaces, roadways and trails.
Dr. Exum facilitated meetings with stakeholders, the open
space advisory board, and the public in order to prepare
an implementation for each of these types of open space
along with a map depicting its highlights. A comprehensive
strategy for connecting all of these open spaces was
developed and a vision for long-term open space was
developed. Specific recommendations were made with
respect to the administrative support needed to implement
the plan, Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code
changes. Detailed recommendations were provided for
implementing each of the seven open space elements in a
final report submitted to the City in December 2009.
Coordination of the lake Toho Environmental Working
Group, Osceola County, Fl, Client: East Central Florida
Regional Planning Council (ECFRPC), Orlando, FL
Six large-scale developments were proposed east of Lake
Tohopekaliga in northern Osceola County. Because of the
magnitude of potential impacts, the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers and the ECFRPC requested that all six developers
coordinate the review of potential environmental impacts.
Dr. Exum was hired by the ECFRPC to facilitate the Lake
Toho Environmental Working Group in the review of these
AS"COM
development projects and the future network of roads
that would serve them. Dr. Exum convened numerous
workshops to assess the potential for impacts, created
design alternatives to minimize impacts, and created
a cohesive plan for all six large-scale developments.
The Working Group consisted of environmental groups,
natural resource agencies, multiple county staff, and
representatives from each developer. As a resu It of the
Working Group, a consensus Development Order was
prepared that was approved by all the counties of the
ECFRPC, the developers, natural resource agencies and
environmental groups.
Wildlife Habitat Protection Program, Pasco County Board
of County Commissioners, Pasco County, Fl
Dr. Exum helped Pasco County staff prepare a
comprehensive strategy for the conservation of wi ldlife
habitat in the County. This work concluded with a report
that specified Critical Linkages, Ecological Planning
Units, and a large Agricultural Reserve which is intended
to provide a long-term strategy for conservation planning
in Pasco County. The report made recommendations
including a voter referendum for land acquisition, changes
in the Comprehensive Plan, and the establishment of an
environmental lands acquisition and selection committee.
Dr. Exum continued to represent the County through
presentations to the Board of County Commissioners
(BOCC) and the creation of draft language for the
referendum, which was approved. The referendum for
funding land acquisition was approved by residents and a
40 million dollar fund for land acquisition was established.
Dr. Exum helped the environmental lands acquisition
selection committee identify priorities for conservation
of natural lands across the County. Since that time
several of these tracts have been purchased for long-term
conservation.

04 I Approach/Methodology
Firms Approach/Methodology
We have a proven approach to parks planning and design,
based on our 30+ years of experience on hundreds of
park projects similar to the Intracoastal Parks. Known
as our "5D" approach, it assures our clients that we will
develop thoughtful, creative design solutions "grounded" in
community needs and context. The basic steps of our "5D"
approach includes Desire, Discovery, Design, Discussion,
and Documentation.
....
,....
..

,

,
I
Desire
During this first phase of the process, we will conduct
a Kick-off Meeting with City staff, advisory committee/
steering committee members and/or other key
stakeholders (as determined by the City) in order to
establish expectations for the project. Typical review
topics includes scope of work, project schedule, lines of
communications, public involvement, review and approval
process, project development program, construction
budget, permitting and bidding process and construction
delivery method.
I
I

We will also discuss community needs as they relate to
the proposed "Development Program" for the park. We
understand that programmatic needs for the parks include
the following:
. Green sodded lawn spaces
. Concrete paver walks
. Screen wall along western boundary
. Play structures
Should the City wish to further verify the community's
specific desires for the Intracoastal Parks, then we may
recommend one or more of our typical public involvement
techniques such as stakeholder interviews (elected
officials, staff, recreation providers, residents, community
leaders, others); visioning workshop; public open houses;
Advisory Board/Steering Committee workshop or others.
The outcome from the "Desire" phase will be a Development
Program for the site, describing the proposed uses and
facilities, approved by the City Council.

Discovery
During the Discovery phase of the project - which may
run concu rrently with the Desire phase - the design team
learns about site opportunities and constraints including
transportation/access issues, environmental conditions,
drainage, utilities, easements, permitting and other issues
that may influence the proposed design. The Discovery
phase also includes visits to comparable parks. Once the
Development Program is approved by City Council, we
will identify comparable facilities for the design team,
staff, Cou ncil members and other stakeholders to visit.
The purpose of the site visits is to develop a common
understanding of what everyone likes and dislikes
about similar projects, which further helps us to better
understand the specific needs and desires of the City. The
product from the Discovery phase will be an Opportunities
and Constraints Memorandum, summarizing site
opportunities and constraints to successfully constructing
the site elements established in the Development Program.
Design
The Design phase builds on the findings from the first two
phases, exploring various alternatives for accomplishing
the Development Program on the site. We will begin by
reviewing and discussing the design concepts previously
developed by the City to determine any preferences. Then
we will develop additional concepts for review, along with
estimates of construction costs.

Discussion
The purpose of the Discussion phase is to build final
consensus regarding a preferred direction/concept for the
park development. We will discuss and confirm the City's
preferred review and approval process at the Kick-off
Meeting; our typical approval process includes the review
of alternative concepts and cost estimates with City staff,
Advisory/Steering Committee, Key Stakeholders, General
Public, and City Council.
Effective meeting formats include workshops and open
houses, and numerous meetings may be required to reach
consensus. The final concept and budget approved by the
City Council will become "Documentation" which is the
basis for the next phase of the process.
Documentation
The final phase of the planning and design process -
before permitting, bidding and construction - is the
Documentation phase. During this phase of work we
develop 30%, 60%, 90% and 100% construction documents
for the project, based on the final approved design. The
documents include construction plans, specification and
cost estimates, which will be submitted and reviewed
according to the project schedule. We have found it very
helpful to assemble the entire design team for each of the
review meetings to insure good coordination. During the
Documentation phase of the recently constructed City
of Boynton Beach's Congress Avenue Park, for example,
the City and design team met monthly to review plans,
specifications, product samples, design details, cost
estimates and permit submittals.
Following the "5D" approach, we apply the following
"Additional Comprehensive Steps":
Quality Assurance I Quality Control
During the documentation phase we use our AECOM quality
assurance/quality control process. Our Quality Assu~ance/
Quality Control benefits are maximized through a well
defined process of communication involving all levels of the
project team, along with a clear definition of project control
and coordination activities. We utilize an in-house QAlQC
"peer review" group to oversee the production of the final
documents to assure their completeness and appropriate
level of detail. The peer review team will involve senior
architects, landscape architects and engineers who are
experienced with the design and detailing of facilities
similar in scope and complexity. The peer review team will
check for accuracy, clarity, consistency, proper level of
detail, compliance with all programming information and
regulatory procedures and practices.
Permitting, Bidding and Construction Administration
AECOM has been a fixture of the Miami area Architectural/
Engineering industry for more than 80 years. Du ring that
time frame the firm has planned and designed more
projects than any other AlE firm in Miami that have gone
through the local permitting process. For this reason,
our firm has developed a solid working relationship with
the various agencies with whom our team will need to
coordinate with in order to ensure the timely delivery of
the Intracoastal Parks. Our extensive knowledge of local
conditions, permitting and approval procedures, and
construction industry has allowed us to recognize and
avoid the common pitfalls of this complicated process. Our
hands-on experience with all of the Regulatory Agencies
who will be involved with projects located within the City
of Sunny Isles Beach will be extremely beneficial to the
City.
Bid assistance will include conducting a prebid meeting
with prospective contractors, answering bidders'
questions, clarifying the final construction documents
and project schedule, issuing required addendas, and
evaluating submitted bids. Upon receipt of the bids, we
will work with the City of Sunny Isles Beach to evaluate the
best construction value and provide recommendations for
efficient contractor selection.
Our construction observation services can ensure quality
and efficient implementation conforming to the final
construction documents and environmental permits and
agreements. These services will include conducting a

Primary Strategies for Adding Value
As discussed previously, we have been involved in the
planning, design, permitting, bidding and/or construction of
hundreds of park projects similar to the Intracoastal Parks,
and know from our gained experience "what works" and
what does not. The keys to successful projects include:
- Clearly stated expectations
- Frequent communication and coordination
- Creative and timeless design
- Recognition of maintenance and operations requirements
- Broad community support
- Collaborative design process
- Detailed scheduling and milestones
- Regular interim reviews and approvals
- Frequent cost estimating and budgeting
- Clearly defined review and approval process
- Thorough understanding of permitting requirements and
processes
- Engaged staff, elected officials, stakeholders and public
- Selection of a project relevant experienced contractor
- Frequent construction review and coordination
- Commitment to quality, service, schedule and budget

Design Concepts

I
I
I
In order to show our interest and committment to providing the City quaility service and innovative thinking, we have spent
significant time at the future park sites to gain a sense of the context users and opportunities of the park. In addition, we
have interviewed prospective users and have generated the following concepts.
Please note that these are examples only; actual concepts will be generated once the Desire and Discovery phases of the
project have been completed.

Concept One
Edge + Angle
The Edge + Angle concept
derives its design form from
clean contemporary patterns
and simple geometric lines
expressed across the site.
The circulation patterns create
angular planes of open green
space that are manipulated
topographically to create visual
interest and play. The primary
movement across the site is at
the water's edge, utilizing the
sea wall as a promenade. Two
horizontal projections through
the site bring visitors across
panels of flat, multi-use lawn
areas to overlook the water's
edge. Adjacent and opposite of
the main projections out to the
water, we invite the Intracoastal
water to project in and engage
the park. By re-introducing a
mangrove ecology, the park
will provide a unique natural
experience against the existing
dense urban fabric.
Screening along the park's
west edge is provided through
a series of linear, angular
benches with canopy-like backs
that act as the screen wall.
The challenge of screening the
park becomes an opportunity
for architectural, seating, and
planting interventions along the
park edge.
(
(
(
(
(
Finally, the south end of the
park integrates a play area into
the surrounding landscape.
Families have the opportunity
to adventure and explore the
mangroves, play on the lawn,
or use the play facilities that are
designed to mimic the edge and
angle design pattern.

Concept Two
Fluid + Interior
I
--'
I
The Fluid + Interior concept
proposes a fluid, whimsical, and
organic approach. The energy
and activity of the park is focused
on interior spaces. Movement
in the park curves through open
lawn, large and intimate plazas,
and landforms created for visual
interest and play. A land bridge
over Poinciana Drive offers a
unique circulation experience
and strong visual and physical
connection between the north
and south ends of the park.
This concept proposes to relocate
the gate house and give open
space back to the park. The park
peels up and over the entrance
drive with adjacent at grade
pedestrian crossings. This unique
topographical feature also serves
as an amphitheater for outdoor
performances on the lawn and in
the plazas.
Water overlooks are located on
both ends of the park. These
"roll-decks" subtly wave, or roll,
providing a playful undulating
experience at the waterfront that
mimics the natural processes
surrounding the site.
The play area at the south end
of the park is carved out of the
multi-use lawn. The elliptical play
space is enclosed by the peeled
up topography, creating a series
of steps that are integrated into
the play experience. This space
provides a play experience that
continues the whimsical forms
created throughout the park.
The play space will also contain
a small pavilion and architecture
elements designed to balance
the fluid forms expressed across
the park.

Attention: Perspective Clients of AECOM
RE: Letter of Reference
Miami-Dade County Park and Recreation Department has had a professional relationship with
AECOM (formerly Glatting Jackson) for over six years. Throughout this time, AECOM has provided
professional services to Miami-Dade County for trail and greenway planning, park and open space
system planning, transportation planning and landscape architecture. Their work has been
responsive and dedicated in providing Miami-Dade County a product that meets the scope for
each specific purpose.
Two examples projects by AECOM include trail and park planning projects which are both major
initiatives to implementation of the Miami-Dade County Parks and Open Spaces System Master
Plan by AECOM (formerly Glatting Jackson). The Miami-Dade County Trail Design Guidelines and
Standards: Ludlam Trail Case Study is a two part project with goals of corridor specific design
guidelines for Ludlam Trail and County-wide general design guidelines and standards which are to
be implemented throughout the County's 500+ mile trail and greenway network. The second
example is a park planning project at Haulover Park, one of seven Miami-Dade County Heritage
Parks, and serves as an exemplary model of park planning and transportation planning responding
as one.
Throughout the years of working with AECOM, they have routinely responded to all of our requests
for action and deliverables in a professional and courteous manner. It is without hesitation I can
recommend them to any organization, public or private, for professional trail and greenway
planning, park and open space system planning, transportation planning and landscape
architecture.

Re: Letter of Reference
To Whom It May Concern:
I am pleased to provide a letter of reference for AECOM. It has been a pleasure working with this
outstanding multi-disciplinary firm for several years on a variety of large, impacting projects in the City
of Kissimmee.
While the firm is exceptional to deal with in every way, one special quality that seems unique is that
AECOM will assign 'all essential professionals necessary to produce a quality project. If there is a need to
add personnel or assign additional staff, they do it. They do whatever is necessary to perform to the
highest level of satisfaction.
Every member of their team is personable, professional and exceptional in their areas of expertise. They
are responsive, dedicated and conscientious. Our projects become their projects and they take
ownership and pride in the work they accomplish,
They are thorough, yet flexible in their approach, Another outstanding item they bring to the table is
their creativity and progressive thinking. There is never an issue or problem too insurmountable for this
firm to conquer, They will find a way to accomplish the task at hand.
As you can see, I only have positive things to say about AECOM and their team of professionals. I have
worked with several similar firms in my 30 year career and AECOM has been among the finest of all
firms with which I have had the pleasure to work.
I will be happy to discuss their work in more detail. Should the need arise, please do not hesitate to
contact me.
