(B&A) has had an exemplary record with excellent history and quality delivery of its services. Since its founding in 1939, the Firm has had few, if any, disputes with clients. However, in the course of business, it is not uncommon for A/E ﬁ rms to be involved in certain disputes, most of them from third parties incidental to the course of business. Currently, and speciﬁ cally over the past 5 years, B&A has no major pending litigation, major disputes, contract defaults or claims other than those listed below. Furthermore, B&A has not been terminated or has ever failed to complete any construction job in the past ﬁ ve years. In the condominium arena it is almost certain that architects working on condominium will end up as a party to litigation between the developer and the condominium association. Currently B&A is a party to two such actions. B&A has resolved any issues associated with their services, but these actions stay open until the developer settles the matter. In addition B&A is party to a suit where the client has sued the contractor and all design consultants to resolve construction defects. B&A is working with the client to resolve all matters.

Major recommendations of the master plan included land acquisition and consolidation, extending the city-wide greenway along the edges of the project and land use plan amendments. As part of the master plan process, the public involvement effort included workshops with the City Commission, the community, and interested parties. 17 Bermello Ajamil & Partners, Inc. (B&A) developed a landscape improvements plan for the neighborhood of South Creek. Neighborhood meetings played a key role in gathering information about concerns and preferences. They focused on issues important to the residents and have been critical in forming the basis of the study. This will be used in the planning and design of the streetscapes, signage, trafﬁ c calming and general neighborhood landscape improvements. Coconut Creek has commissioned a new design for the main roadway bordering South Creek. B&A will build on the improvements proposed in that plan to enhance the quality of the gateways into the neighborhood.

As part of the development, B&A has undertaken an extensive public involvement process to build consensus as to the future of current parking areas. A mandate from the City and community has been issued for the expansion of open space along the beachfront, most of which is currently occupied by parking on Pompano Beach Boulevard. B&A performed parking and engineering studies to evaluate present and future parking demands and the potential to create open space in the area through the construction of a parking structure. An integral element of B&A’s proposal is the curving the Boulevard itself, freeing up some of the area currently occupied by parking and expanding the waterfront to include a plaza and restaurant.

The scope of the project included assisting the City in developing a comprehensive Roadway Improvements Program while providing the trafﬁ c management services to ensure the roadway network can safely and efﬁ ciently perform to its potential. There was also a need to improve transit services within the City, as well as Miami- Dade and Monroe Counties. The plan made the most of existing sources and identiﬁ ed potential transportation funding. 21 New Haven Empowerment Zone Neighborhood Plan New Haven, CT Client: City of New Haven Planning Department Bermello Ajamil and Partners was commissioned by the City of New Haven Planning Department to conduct a neighborhood analysis and development plan for two of the city’s largest communities, Hill and Fair Haven. Both Hill and Fair Haven are historic districts that had served as gateways for arriving immigrants who often went to work in the proliﬁ c oyster beds found just off shore. As the oyster industry deteriorated, so did the area. B&A assisted in identifying the needs and opportunities that existed within the area, conducting analyses of the current conditions and presenting recommendations for potential redevelopment and land use opportunities. 22 Fischer Homes Hope VI New Orleans, Louisiana Client: New Orleans Housing Authority Completion: 2002 Bermello, Ajamil & Partners, as part of the National Housing Group Team, developed the urban design plan and preliminary architectural schematics for the HOPE VI application for the Fischer Housing project which is located on the West Bank of the Mississippi River in New Orleans, Louisiana. B&A was responsible for the planning and architectural analysis required to establish need for revitalization. Our effort involved extensive site analysis, neighborhood analysis, context area analysis, and building conditions evaluation. Additionally B&A evaluated the architectural design typologies of the immediate neighborhood to establish the architectural character of the future project. Based on New Urbanism concepts the site plan design is based on the extension of the city grid into the property to create easily identiﬁ able and defensible space, while providing a sense of community. The program which consisted of 50 single family homes, 111 townhouse units, 169 apartments, for a total of 330 units. 23 Hollywood City-Wide Master Plan Hollywood, Florida Client: City of Hollywood Completed: 2001 Bermello Ajamil and Partners, Inc.

A city-wide analysis of the different sectors that comprise the City of Hollywood was undertaken to assess the problems and opportunities in each area as well as to gain an understanding of how the City of Hollywood functions in its totality.

A PP R O A C H & M ET H O D O L O G Y URBAN DESIGN ANALYSIS B&A’s Urban Design Approach Urban design is an analytical design process that deﬁ nes the physical urban framework of the City. It is a vehicle for analyses and design. It translates the planning framework into tangible design actions to guide the physical form of the urban development; it bridges planning and architecture. B&A’s urban design approach responds to clear planning steps that begin with understanding the problem and intent; is based on solid analysis of conditions and potential opportunities; and is creative in generating alternative solutions that are thoroughly conscientious in their evaluation and selection. Our approach encompasses the following planning steps: Identiﬁ cation and deﬁ nition of goals and objectives; • Analysis of Existing Conditions - As with any professional endeavor, an understanding of the vital signs • of the project must be developed. The areas of analyses will include varied elements beginning with the regulatory framework, and may include other areas such as wind assessment, visual corridors, economic and market demand conditions, building conditions, infrastructure analyses, streetscapes, and others as may be necessary to deﬁ ne the picture of existing conditions; Summary of Issues and Opportunities – Summary of the salient conditions that create the issues • and opportunities for action. These form the basis for the creation of the project vision; Formulation of Alternative Options - May include speciﬁ c designs, action or no action options, and • others as may be required; Alternative Evaluation Criteria and Selection of Preferred Alternative;• Final Plan Preparation.• We use of graphics and text to describe the existing conditions of the area and proposed actions. Final products include speciﬁ c design drawings, renderings, texts and implementation plans. Phase 1 – Planning, Programming and Schematic Design The project approach for Planning, Programming and Schematic Design Phase is broken down into the following tasks: 1.1 Report Collection - The Team will collect all relevant information on the project, in particular: • As-built drawings • Inspection reports • Entitlement documents (if any) • Current documents with budgets • LEED targets • Existing Utility information 1.2 Base Plan - Create a comprehensive Site Plan to include all existing buildings, site utilities, existing CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL A RCHITECTURAL & ENGINEERING SERVICES FIRMS ONLY (CCNA) RFQ NO. 12-04-02 APPROACH & METHODOLOGY 50 equipment and infrastructure, drainage, etc. Conduct ﬁ eld investigations, topographical surveys and research available record drawings. 1.3 Kick-Off - The Team will attend a kick-off meeting at the City of Sunny Isles Beach.

The necessary studies and approach to each speciﬁ c service will be provided prior to commencement of the work. Phase 8 - Studies B&A has performed many different planning studies throughout the years. One of our most recent and successful was the writing of the TIGER II Grant for the Port of Miami in 2010; an endeavor that resulted in the federal government awarding a $22 million grant for construction of the Rail Reconnection and Intermodal Project. This project will restore cargo rail service to the Port of Miami and will lay the groundwork for the inclusion of passenger rail on the Florida East Coast Railway corridor. The B&A Team, with its varied expertise and presence, is ready to immediately assist the City of Sunny Isles beach in all its general planning needs.
