MONROE COUNTY BRW,INC 5 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 #actors that will affect the Community Plan for Lower Matecumbe Key. SM ANA* o as 7 I GO «� w A � o b 7Ma O y O h J. 26 .a B 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. 4.1 Review Goals and Policies 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 impactsi 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. WORK EFFORT The Project work effort provides a detailed breakdown of the estimated person -days to complete the work tasks previously outlined and in response to the anticipated funds available for this planning effort. The proposed total budgeted Project Team work effort is estimated at 117 person days or almost 1000 person hours.
