EXHIBIT A
WORK PROGRAM/PROJECT SCHEDULE SCOPE OF SERVICES
The Work Program for the preparation of the Community Plan for Lower
Matecumbe Key, consisting of six primary work tasks, has been established
to complete the project in accordance with the Approach to Project
previously presented. This Work Program is graphically illustrated on
Figure 1, Work Program/Project Schedule, and described below.
In preparing the Work Program the Project Team has kept in mind Monroe
County's Growth Management Division study objectives:
° Provide future land use element
° Provide future transportation and traffic elements
° Provide conservation, recreation and open space elements
° Provide capital improvements element
° Provide community design/urban design guidelines element
The Work Program to prepare the Community Plan for Lower Matecumbe Key
includes the following work tasks, and appropriate sub -tasks.
PHASE I - ISSUE IDENTIFICATION
Objective: To carefully insure that all pertinent issues pertaining to
development of the Community Plan for Lower Matecumbe Key.
1.1 Issue Identification
The Project Manager will meet with the County's Project Manager and
appropriate staff to insure that all issues from the County's
standpoint will be addressed in the Work Program and to gain insight
as to perceived problems and strengths of development in Lower
Matecumbe Key.
1.2 Assemble and Evaluate Existing Data
The Project Team will collect, assemble and evaluate all existing
County and local agency data and studies for the purpose of further
refining the scope of work.
1.3 Initial Meeting
The Project Team will meet with the County's Project Manager and
appropriate staff to review the Work Program and make any refinements.
At this time it is also necessary to begin to identify the various
citizen groups, and citizens at large who, through the study process,
should be kept informed and encouraged to attend the public input
sessions. It is assumed that throughout the study process the Project
Team will be meeting with the County's Project Manager and appropriate
staff at a minimum of six times throughout the planning process, or
as necessary.
PHASE II - INVENTORY AND ANALYSIS
OBJECTIVE: To carefully identify and assess the cultural and natural

2.1 Area -Wide Analysis
The Project Team will identify and analyze major features and
development patterns within Lower Matecumbe Key. Specifically, the
Project Team will:
° Review and identify the current action plans.
• Review and identify current land use plans.
° Review and identify current General Plan goals and objectives.
° review and identify development patterns and projects.
• Identify existing zoning activity
° Identify existing and proposed transportation system
° Summarize, evaluate and illustrate area -wide development forces.
2.2 Detailed Analysis
The Project Team will initially review existing data and generate
new detailed data. It is understood that all inventory data sufficient
to address the specific concerns outlined within the Request for
Proposal will be obtained, mapped, and analyzed. The minimum data
to be developed and analyzed would include:
° Building Types and Conditions
° Architectural Character/Image
• Pedestrian Circulation
° Visual Analysis
° History
° Drainage
° Soils and Geology
2.3 Detailed and Area Analysis Report
° Vegetation
Noise
° Climate
° Utilities and Infrastructure
° Roadways
° Natural Resources/Land Forms
The Project Team will prepare a Technical Report which summarizes
the results of the Inventory and Analysis Phase and the Opportunities
and constraints of the area through text and appropriate graphics
and will be formatted into the required deliverables,draft Community
Plan and the Final Community Plan.
PHASE III - PUBLIC INPUT
Objective: Solicit public opinion as to existing and future issues and
intrinsic value of the Lower Matecumbe Key environment.
3.1 Workshops
The Project Team will conduct the necessary public workshops to obtain
public input and reaction to the inventory and analysis, their desires
for the future direction of Lower Matecumbe Key, transportation facil-
ities, utilities, open-space/recreation, and public facilities. They
will be asked for their opinions regarding architectural character
of the Key and minimum design standards. They will also be asked
to evaluate alternative development scenarios. The Project Team
proposes to utilize project newsletters to get people involved, keep
them informed, and present decisions. It is through this vehicle
that the public will be informed before public workshops such that
they become two-way discussions and are more meaningful.
In working with any public involvement program it is essential that
prior to beginning, everyone's role is well defined. The ultimate
decisions are always made by the County Commission, and the public
is being asked to assist the Project Team in developing the "best"
plan which accommodates their needs while enhancing those atributes
which provide the intrinsic value to Lower Metecumbe Key. The public
should never be asked to formally "vote" on land use or design issues.
Resolution of land use and design issues is the role of the consultant
and building a consensus.
3.2 Workshop Reports
The Project Team, upon completion of this phase, will prepare a summary
of the proceedings.
PHASE IV - POLICY DIRECTION
Objective: To insure that the Community Plan for Lower Matecumbe Key is
consistant with the direction of Monroe County's Comprehensive Plan.

The Project Team, together with appropriate county staff, will reveiw
existing/proposed goals and policies for Monroe County regarding:
° Land Use ° Conservation
° Transportation ° Recreation/Open Space
° Housing ° Capital Improvements
° Infrastructure ° Cultural Facilities
° Coastal Management ° Intergovernmental
° Port Facilities Coordination
4.2 Evaluate, Refine and Document Goals and Policies for Lower Matecumbe
Key.
The Project Team will evaluate the general goals and policies for
Monroe County as to how they relate to the specific needs of Lower
Matecumbe Key. The Project Team will, if necessary, make suggestions,
raise issue with, and provide possible options to those goals and
policies by which alternative development scenarios must be evaluated.
PHASE V - PREPARATION OF ALTERNATIVE PROGRAMS
Objective: To thoroughly test various land use options and locations for
major activities/elements.
5.1 Alternative Plans
The Project Team will generate alternative land use options based
upon the intrinsic character of Lower Matecumbe Key.
These alternative programs will explore various land use by type,
density, circulation systems, preliminary infrastructure systems,
preliminary traffic systems and locations of various public/cultural
elements. The Project Team will also explore various absorptive rates
or build -out rates. The Project Team will identify the advantages
and disadvantages of each plan, in terms of how well they respond
to the general goals and policys identified in Phase IV. This
evaluation will include various impacts such as transportation impacts,
utility and infrastructure impacts, historic impacts, cost impacts,
maintenance impacts, land value impacts, and environmental impacts.
5.2 Alternative Program Presentation
The Project Team, utilizing appropriate graphics, will present to
the County the inventory and analysis, all public input, and the
alternative land use schemes/programs complete with each programs
opportunities and constraints evaluation. It would be the intent
of the presentation to assist the County in prioritizing the various
elements of the alternative programs which best address the needs
of the Lower Matecumbe Key community, the County's needs, and the
public needs.
5.3 Alternative Program Refinements
The Project Team will document for public consideration those
refinements suggested by the County Staff. Any adjustments to the
various graphics as deemed necessary, based upon the County's input
will be an additional fee.
5.4 Public Input
The Project Team will conduct a public workshop for the purpose of
obtaining, from the public, their reaction and evaluation of the
alternative land use scenarios. It is assumed that no one alternative
will be selected in total but various elements from each program will
best respond to their desires.
5.5 Alternative Plans Report
The Project Team will summarize the results of the alternative
programs, impacts, agency review and public review and distribute,
for comment, to all participants.
PHASE VI - FINAL RECOMMENDATION
Objective: To arrive at the "best" program which best addresses the needs
of Lower Matecumbe Key, Monroe County, and its residents.
6.1 Final Community Plan
After a thorough review by the County, County Staff, the public, and
the Project Team, various parts or portions of the alternative programs
will be integrated to form a final recommended community plan. The
Community Plan for Lower Matecumbe Key will contain a future land
use plan which proposes land use catagories and densities; a trans-
portation element which proposes road standards and overall system
plan; a conservation, recreation and open space element which proposes
standards and location of facilities; a capital improvements facilities
which suggests when key utility and overall infrastructure elements
need to come on line and anticipated costs; and a community design
element which will propose certain public facilities which should
be planned for and overall community design guidelines which should
be incorporated in future projects to maintain the desired character
and image of Lower Matecumbe Key.
6.2 Implementation Program
The Project Team will prepare and identify absorption rates,
development phasing strategies and projected build -out scenarios.
The Project Team will convert the various land use elements projections
into acreage absorption estimates and present them in 5-year intervals
from 1990-2010.
6.3 Final Products
The Project Team will assemble all appropriate text, graphics, plans
tables, etc., from the entire study process into a final document.
This document would represent the entire process, analysis, and final
recommendations. It would be reviewed in draft form by the County
Staff and any changes made. The Project Team will then prepare 100
copies of the Final Plan and deliver to the County all required
deliverables.
