Services provided as needed under this contract included conceptual studies, management plans, feasibility studies, preliminary assessments, cost estimates and analyses, park and facility design (design and engineering services), site survey work, and project/construction administration assistance and management. The first task order under this contract was the Jan Phyl Park Master Plan, which is an existing 20-acre community park, of which approximately 8 acres had previously been developed and were in need of renovation/ replacement. The park amenities included baseball and softball fields, racquetball courts, playground, restrooms, concession stand, basketball court, and parking. Atkins provided a complete renovation plan, with cost estimates and phasing for renovation and construction based on input received through public meetings, staff input, and opportunities and constraints analysis.

In recent years, the Village, along with the rest of the island, has seen significant new growth and development. At the heart of the Village are the pier, Neptune Park, and the old casino complex. The Village serves as the town center, or “downtown,” for the entire island. Through a visioning process, Atkins helped bring the community together to form a consensus-based, unified master plan uti- lizing an open, participatory workshop plan- ning approach. The process also included a series of resident interviews.

The preparation of the plan incorporated significant public and stake- holder involvement, and was developed with sufficient specificity and strategies for further implementation of the original LCI plan created in 2007. The TOD site plan will address both land use and transporta- tion issues to support development that will support a multi-modal environment and optimize utilization at the existing MARTA station. The ultimate goal is an economically successful, exceptionally designed TOD, and full integration of the downtown with the station area. Constraints include groundwa- ter, high-pressure utility conflicts, and heavy traffic control.

Snyder Tennis Center North Miami Beach, Florida The main goal of the Snyder Tennis Center redevelop- ment is to increase public visibility, improve the spatial organization of the ten- nis center complex, and enhance the overall pub- lic park experience. The master plan includes a new two-story 7,500-square-foot clubhouse/retail building set closer to Dixie Highway for heightened curb appeal and exposure. The clubhouse will include a pro shop, café restaurant, retail space, locker facilities, office area, and outdoor dining/terraces. The layout of the tennis courts created a strong con- nectivity between all courts and the clubhouse. Twelve resurfaced clay courts and seven new hardcourts complete the core of the ten- nis center complex. There are two tournament courts placed at prominent loca- tions near the clubhouse and at the intersection of two main pedestrian cir- culation spines. Spectator viewing was provided by covered stadium seating for both courts and an arbor- covered terrace adjacent to the clubhouse. The master plan also includes an expanded parking lot, two racquetball courts with a tennis hitting wall, a playground, sand volleyball court, shade pavilions, walking paths through the mature canopy of the Daniel D. Diefenbach Bicentennial Park, and a large open lawn area to accommodate outdoor events in conjunction with tournaments.

The city has focused its time and financial resources on provid- ing an extensive parks program to meet the recreational needs of its citizens. The city’s most outstanding natural resource is its lo- cation on the southern shores of East Lake Toho, where its 68-year-old, 42-slip marina is located. To better facilitate the marine and leisure activities of the residents of St. Cloud, the city had a vision for expanding the existing marina to a 140-slip, state-of-the-art facility, including a three-boat ramp and a waterside public plaza with a recreation/performance lawn, and covered stage/restroom building. The centerpiece of the park is a two-story, 10,000-square-foot multipurpose facility that overlooks the waterside public plaza, the marina, and the lake. The building includes a 200-seat public meeting room for com- munity and private events, a ship’s store, and concession facilities with an outdoor dining area.

In 2001, the City of Clearwater adopted Beach by Design: A Preliminary Design for Clearwater Beach and Design Guidelines, which set in motion the impetus for redevelopment of Clearwater Beach as a great beach destination. Atkins assisted in the creation of Clearwater Beach Walk—a $30 million beach-side urban and streetscape redevelopment project. The entire area was renamed Beach Walk and includes a 2,400-foot-long by 25-foot-wide pedestrian promenade, connection to the Pinellas County trail system via a 20-foot- wide by 1,800-foot-long hike/bike trail, entry gateways, public plaza spaces, unique beach entrances, seating areas, beach- inspired public art, and coastal landscaping. The master plan included street widening, rebuilding of underground utilities, urban streetscape improvements to Coronado Drive, and realignment of Gulfview Boulevard into a curvilinear and scenic beachside drive.

The project involves reconstruction of virtually every major roadway within the city, converting the existing eight-mile Front Beach Road corridor into a multimodal facility with equal emphasis on pedestrians, bikes, and vehicles. All roadways listed in the plan will be reconstructed to include pedestrian, bicycle, and transit features along with aesthetic improvements such as landscaping, streetscaping, street lighting, and undergrounding of all aerial utilities. Improvements include converting segments of the existing two-lane Front Beach Road roadway into four-lane facilities with a travel lane and a bicycle/tram/trol- ley lane in each direction, with landscaped medians, improved drainage and stormwater facilities, and converting aerial utility line to underground facilities.

While capturing the spirit and history of the island, the design seeks to reinvigorate its historic center. The team designed a fully operational water storage cistern, coordinated the rerouting of an existing overhead power service line to underground, provided complete electrical design for the common areas, calculated electrical and HVAC loads including trans- former sizing and metering, and provided adequate space for initial and future mechanical equipment. The project was developed in four phases: conceptual design with renderings; design development docu- ments for local government planning review; construction documents and bidding support services; and construction administration. During the project, Atkins provided ongoing value engineering services. By selecting alternative materials and finishes, reducing the size of water systems, and streamlining artistic features, Atkins was able to maintain the integrity of the design while providing the owner with significant cost savings.

This mul- timodal, transit-oriented corridor involved road realignment, establishment of medians for function and beautification, shared use pedestrian and bicycle paths, and transit upgrades. The Coconut Creek Educational Corridor was chosen as one of only three corridors in Broward County to serve as a model for the Broward County Sense of Place project. Sense of Place is a Broward County initia- tive to create a countywide design guide- book that promotes and implements design guidelines to create pedestrian-friendly spaces and public transit, taking into consid- eration the distinctive character of each city within the County. The project was broken into two phases. The first phase of construction will be com- pleted later this year and involves installing raised median, irrigation, median landscap- ing, and roadway widening. The second phase involves installation of sidewalk and landscaping on both sides of the roadway. Atkins’ work includes segmenting the original project into an initial phase and producing construction documents for the installation of curbed and landscape.

Completion date 2009 Project cost $15 million (estimated) $1.1 million (fee) Services provided • Architectural design • Construction administration Mahogany Bay Destination Cruise Village Roatan Island, Honduras Atkins completed the design and construc- tion administration of the new Mahogany Bay cruise terminal development—a themed des - tination retail village comprising 17 discrete buildings and incorporating a multimodal center for all manner of vehicle transfers. The design exploits a hilly topography and spectacular views afforded by the wooded site. The master plan incorporates a new, 2-kilometer-long road connecting to the island’s main highway and calls for all new utilities and infrastructure, including a waste- water treatment plant, cistern, grey water irri- gation, and pervious paving in staging areas to reduce runoff during the winter monsoons. Stylistically, the buildings reflect a variety of influences: British Honduran-colonial, indig- enous Roatan island (especially the ribbed metal roofs), and generalized Spanish- Caribbean colonial through the variety of pastel hues. Deep porches and canopies provide relief from the tropical sun, while fountains provide focus and coolness to the large expanses of plaza, which are designed to hold upward of 4,000 visitors at any given time. The most noteworthy feature is a curv- ing bridge—as wide as 50 feet—linking the pier level and its main duty-free shop to the village perched 30 feet above and wrapping around a man-made lagoon lined with native hardwood vegetation.

Throughout his career, he has positively infl uenced development across the U.S. (40 states) and worldwide in 24 countries on 6 continents. He has led the global master planning practice for international fi rms with projects encompassing over 250 million total acres (386,000 square miles), creating over $52 billion in new construction and over $10 billion in fees. A client-focused, collaborative, and creative professional, he has worked with a broad array of clients, representing projects in almost every market sector: aviation and airport planning; mixed-use master plans; corporate campuses; sports and entertainment districts; development guidelines; town and regional planning; district and corridor planning; university campuses; healthcare and medical campuses; urban design and place-making; hospitality and resorts; and visioning. As a consultant and project principal, Mr. Pobiner has over 25 years in senior management with national and international practices, has maintained an 80 percent hit rate (proposals and interviews) and a 75 percent client retention rate, and was interviewed for the documentary fi lm “Revival of Community.” His innovative method uses three unique and proprietary planning approaches: 1. NANO Plan (TM) (Narrow Area/New Objective)–NANO plans are applied to small areas requiring a focused approach, such as districts and corridors; 2. Rapid/Response Plan (TM)–Deployed for communities that seek to grow in both a rapid and responsible manner; and, 3. FastForward Plan (TM)–An accelerated approach that results in a completed master plan in approximately half the time of a standard approach. Mr. Pobiner was honored by his peers with induction into AICP’s College of Fellows (FAICP), recognizing his achievements as a planning consultant. FAICP is the highest honor given to professional planners, with around 350 active members worldwide.

The Planning and Landscape Architecture Group was awarded $10,000 as an internal Atkins Project Enhancement Initiative. The purpose of these initiative was to encourage the implementation of new technologies into conventional approaches to the providing of professional services to all of its clients. The 3R System was developed by a group of its certifi ed parks and recreational planners, land planners, landscape architects and GIS programmers and technicians and is comprised of three modules, the fi rst module, called REVIEW, uses GIS Arc Pad technology to collect information in the fi eld at each of the park sites. Information is assessed both quantitatively and qualitatively for each of the recreational components that compose a park. The second module is RESPOND, which uses the Internet to survey the residents of the community to determine user preferences and needs. The survey participants are then geo-referenced into the GIS database to identify which area of the community is providing input. The last planning module is called REMAP. This module receives the information from the REVIEW and RESPOND modules and places it into a database. This allows Arc View to develop queries and graphic displays that identify the shortfalls of recreational facilities and their location within the system. When complete, this information becomes the planning source for the determination of levels of service and assists the city in allocation of tax dollars and comprehensive plan updates.

Andrew Healy, PE Grant Writing, FEMA Assistance Planning and Urban Design | 4-1 Atkins | City of Sunny Isles Beach, RFQ No. 12-04-020006.027944.0512 4. Approach/methodology Approach The City has requested consultant services to provide the following fi ve items: • Architectural and urban design • Comprehensive Plan and EAR based amendments • Corridor plans • Roadway design • Traffi c calming studies Previous experience has borne out the innate linkages that exist between these components. Therefore, to provide the City with the most effi cient and effective product, it is proposed that a new comprehensive plan be prepared for the City that includes the following elements: Element 01 – Introduction The fi rst “chapter” of the comprehensive plan summarizes the process to be utilized in the development of this important policy document. This will likely be the shortest portion of the document, as it does not represent new analysis or proposals. Element 02 – History Element 02 will document the history of the City, from its earliest days to the present. As much of this has likely already been written, some of this history will be briefl y summarized, with a more in-depth review and discussion of the City’s history between the most recent Comprehensive Plan and the present. This helps shape the contextual needs for the future. Element 03 – Mission Statement, Vision, Goals, and Objectives The comprehensive plan is the manifestation of the City’s collective desire to shape its own future. Therefore, it is vital to involve the public as much as possible to develop the foundation that will drive the Plan—its mission, vision, goals, and objectives. This will be completed utilizing three approaches: • Stakeholder Interviews – Atkins will facilitate this through a series of stakeholder interviews with key individuals as identifi ed by the City (elected offi cials, staff, homeowners, business owners, and various community leaders). An intense series of one-on-one and small group meetings is proposed for a 4- to 5-day period. • Town Hall Meetings – Concurrent with the above interviews, a series of listening sessions will be conducted to foster public sharing of their views of how the City should grow. These meetings may be conducted in the evenings over a 2- to 3-day period, during the same week the stakeholder interviews are held. • Online Survey – A brief online survey will be prepared to further gather the input of City residents, businesses, property owners, etc. This is especially useful if there are non-resident property owners who are interested in the future of the City, even if they are resident elsewhere. This information will be summarized in draft form on a project website. Additionally, interviews with the local press will be encouraged to further public involvement. Draft and proposed content for the mission statement, vision, and goals and objectives will be posted online, prior to be presented to the City for review, modifi cation, and adoption. Element 04 – Land Use Plan This is one of the more important elements in the Plan, as it will help guide the direction and character of the City. Rather than reacting to future development proposals, this element seeks to create a proactive envisioning of the City’s future. This will be accomplished with the following general steps, with all draft information being posted for public view online and at City Hall: • Existing conditions analysis (natural and man-made); • Opportunities and constraints analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats); • Draft alternative land use development concepts (for public and City review and comment); and, • Preferred concept land use plan (a hybrid of one or more of the above draft alternatives. Once the Preferred Land Use Plan is established, a list of the associated EAR-based Amendments will be developed. These, too, will be developed in draft form fi rst, available for City and public review and comment, prior to consideration of adoption. Element 05 – Access Plan The Access Plan will be co-developed concurrent with the Land Use Plan. In reality, it is not practical or feasible to do one before the other. Access—or lack thereof—defi nes development potentials for existing and future land uses. “Access” is also not restricted to vehicular access. The Access Plan will consider a variety of modes including bicycle, pedestrian, transit, and (where applicable) water. This will be accomplished with the following general steps, parallel with the Land Use Plan, with all draft information being posted for public view online and at City Hall: • Existing conditions analysis (roadways, railroads, bike paths, waterways, etc.) • Opportunities and constraints analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) Planning and Urban Design | 4-2 Atkins | City of Sunny Isles Beach, RFQ No. 12-04-020006.027944.0512 Element 07 – Proposed Implementation and Phasing A Comprehensive Plan is not complete without an investigation of how the various elements will be implemented. A draft management and implementation plan will be suggested for City consideration, which will include such items as: • EAR-based Amendments (may be part of the Land Use and Access Elements as well) • Modifi cations to local development regulations, including zoning, platting, development review, etc. • City actions necessary to implement the Plan’s various recommendations • A time-frame for annual or minor “mid-course correction” updates to be managed by City staff • Projected future conditions that would trigger the necessity for a major Plan overhaul (other than regulatory requirements) This element is essentially the plan’s instruction manual—a series of actions necessary to implement the plan effectively and effi ciently. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) CPTED is a unique way to synthesize good planning and design standards with crime prevention programs in a community. Utilizing a comprehensive approach, Atkins’ certifi ed CPTED practitioner can evaluate park and trail designs and make recommendations on their compliance with accepted CPTED strategies such as natural surveillance, territorial reinforcement, and natural access control. Safety and security in parks and along internal trail systems can be a critical concern for citizens using the facilities, so the CPTED evaluation during the planning and design process is important to evaluate the proposed design relative to key CPTED design approaches. We will work alongside your Police Department Crime Prevention Unit to ensure we understand the specifi c safety concerns at any site and implement CPTED strategies into the design to help prevent safety issues in the future. Among the numerous benefi ts to parks and trails, CPTED can help increase patronage, reduce maintenance costs, and give the community greater satisfaction and safety, ultimately creating better places to live, work, and play. • Draft alternative access concepts (for public and City review and comment) • Preferred concept access plan (a hybrid of one or more of the above draft alternatives For roadways, a functional classifi cation hierarchy will be developed, which includes draft cross-sections and roadway designs. These will help direct traffi c volumes to the most appropriate roadway type, as well as helping to balance neighborhood needs of access, safety, and quality of life. As part of this element, approaches to traffi c calming will be investigated, including “skinny streets”, roundabouts/mini- traffi c circles, “naked” streets, woonerfs, and other similar approaches. In conjunction with the Land Use Plan, special corridor plans will be developed. While these corridors are yet to be established, they will most likely include principal east/ west and north/south corridors like Highway 1A, Sunny Isles Beach Boulevard/Highway 826, US Highway 1, and other similar corridors. The City may opt to include these studies and recommendations either in the Access or Urban Design Elements. As with the Preferred Land Use Plan is established, a list of the associated EAR-based Amendments will be developed. These, too, will be developed in draft form fi rst, available for City and public review and comment, prior to consideration of adoption. Element 06 – Urban Design Plan Quality of life, sustainable development, economic stability, and growth are more than just words—they are vital to the future of every city. The quality of a city’s built and natural environments are keys to realizing these goals. A comprehensive Urban Design Plan will be developed that considers how these important goals are incorporate. Proposed components of the Urban Design Plan may include: • Special District/Area Plans (unique areas such as beaches, commercial districts, etc.) • Corridor Plans (see Element 05 above) • Streetscape and gateway designs • Landscaping, open space, parks and recreation areas • Signage • General urban design guidelines Planning and Urban Design | 5-1 Atkins | City of Sunny Isles Beach, RFQ No. 12-04-020006.027944.0512 5.

(Atkins) does not track terminated contracts for cause or default – or for convenience for that matter. Based on that fact, and the fact that Atkins North America, Inc., is a company with 70 offices and thousands of active contracts, Atkins cannot certify with 100 percent accuracy that within the last five years that one of its contracts has not been terminated under these circumstances. Additional information for Item 19.3: Atkins is a nationwide firm and like all professional firms in this litigious society, has been involved in claims and suits over the past 52 years. The vast majority of these have been filed by third parties against multiple defendants with Atkins being one of those named. Several suits were counterclaims where Atkins has initiated actions to collect fees. None of these suits, if decided against Atkins, would impair its ability to meet its financial obligations. We consider any further details to be confidential and privileged and should be disclosed under carefully controlled circumstances as the settlement agreements mandate this. Please feel free to contact C. Ernest Edgar, IV, our General Counsel at 813.281.3626 to discuss this information further.
