EXHIBIT "A"
SCOPE OF SERVICES
A. Proiect Scope Of Work & Understandinq
The scope of this assignment is to develop the vision and enhancement plan for the Big
Pine Key / US 1 Corridor Area that establishes a unique look and feel for this section of
the corridor and its immediate environs; creates and reinforces its sense of place;
resolves traffic, bicycle and other circulation issues; advances the pedestrian quality
and provides a cohesive and high quality public realm. These will be achieved via a
well-organized and focused Design Charrette. This two (2) day activity will involve client
and community input and will provide a forum for key decisions on the direction of the
enhancement plan.
The Client understands that given the limited budget, the success of the Charrette, and
the Study on the whole, requires that County Staff and/or resources be made available
to the Study Team. The success of the Charrette will ensure that remaining stages of
the study will be completed in a timely manner as outlined in the project schedule
(Attachment A).
The following items will be produced and/or documented as part of this effort:
BASE INFORMATION:
1. Location Maps (responsibility of Client to provide HOK with the information /
material needed to prepare these Maps): At the regional scale and at the city
scale, showing the location of the project, the Study Area/Boundaries and the
surrounding context.
2. Existing Conditions (responsibility of Client to provide HOK with the information /
material needed to prepare these Maps): Documentation of existing conditions
within the Study Area and adjacent areas. Documents required include, but are
not limited to, the following:
a. Base Map/Digital Survey;
b. Aerial Photos;
c. Study Area boundaries;
d. Land Use/Zoning Map;
e. US 1 Setback Plan;
f. Urban Boundary;
g. Property/Existing Conditions Map;
h. Schedule/Map of Known/Proposed Development;
Page 8 of 20
i. Map of Ecologically Sensitive or Protected Areas/Areas of Historic and
Cultural Significance;
j. Pedestrian or bicycle studies within the past 5 years;
k. Latest hurricane evacuation study, transportation analysis;
I. PM peak hour traffic counts for the following side streets: Ships Way,
Wilder Road, Sands Road, etc.;
m. Turning movement counts for the Overseas Highway intersections;
particularly Ships Way, Wilder Road and Sands Road;
n. Plans for roadway improvements in the area; particularly to the Overseas
Highway; and
o. All other relevant /previous studies/reports/documents/books.
3. Historical Precedents: Documentation of Local and Regional precedents of
development (e.g. old photographs of typical and notable buildings and streets,
plans and construction documents, etc.) that will serve as a historical basis for
the enhancement plan.
CONTENT:
4. Vision Plan: A single illustrative plan, rendered in color, comprising the study
area and possibly relevant adjacent parcels (in order to express connectivity /
continuity of context). The Vision Plan will be drawn by the Design Team, but will
reflect the input of all charrette attendees and will express the consensus of
ideas shared by all charrette participants. The final Vision Plan will be prepared
in CAD and will identify all boundaries, significant landscape elements
(Landscape Plan), rights-of-way, parking (lots and structures), schematic building
locations and development envelopes and uses within the Study Area
(designated through a clear symbol key and/or text descriptions).
5. Character Sketches: These comprise one aerial, and at least two ground level,
perspectives of the Study Area. The latter will be done in thumbnail sketch form.
These views will serve to represent the intentions of the Vision Plan in three
dimensions and will be extremely useful to describe the project to those
unfamiliar with two-dimensional drawings.
6. Vision Plan Diagrams: These comprise a series of black and white or color
diagrams outlining design analysis, principles of good planning, traffic circulation,
proposed growth, etc. These diagrams will also help illustrate the planning
techniques incorporated into the study and the different aspects relevant to the
major concepts of the Vision Plan. The diagrams will include:
a. Opportunities and Constraints;
b. Circulation and Parking Plan;
c. Neighborhood Structure;
d. Land Use;
e. Proposed and Existing Building Structures;
Page 9 of 20
f. Thoroughfare Network;
g. Proposed and Existing Open Spaces;
h. Proposed and Existing Developable Land; and
i. Proposed and Existing Civic/Public Buildings and Spaces.
7. Implementation Plan: The Implementation Plan will serve as a strategy for
subsequent physical changes to the Study Area. The Plan will outline Phasing,
Feasibility and Potential Funding Sources.
8. Regulating Plan: The Regulating Plan will be a version of the Vision Plan, color-
coded to the Building Disposition, Architectural and Landscape Guidelines. This
Plan together with the Guidelines form the Design Code. This Code will direct
the development of all properties within the Study Area, ensuring the highest
quality of development, as well as the predictability of the built form while
permitting a modicum of variety and creativity.
9. Building Disposition and Architectural Guidelines: HOK will provide a brief set of
Building Disposition and Architectural Guidelines, outlining general building
heights, build-to-lines and transect-based descriptions.
1 O. Landscape Guidelines: HOK will provide a brief set of Landscape Guidelines,
outlining plant types, other preferred softscape and hardscape materials and
disposition.
Document Format
The final document will be: 10 copies of an unbound 11 x 17 document, single-sided
with color illustrations, communicating the intent and direction of the enhancement plan.
A CD Rom containing a PDF file of the report, together with the individual
drawingslimages therein, will be provided with the hard copy of the document.
B. Work Plan
The schedule is based on a 7-week effort, after which time HOK will submit a Final
Report to the Monroe County Growth Management Division. This Work Plan assumes
that prior to commencing the Study, the Client will furnish all essential base information
and materials as well as all documents necessary for HOK to prepare and complete the
stages of work as described in this "Scope of Work."
The Enhancement Plan is broken down into discrete tasks:
Task 1.0 - Project Initiation and Kickoff Meeting
Task 2.a - Data Collection / Pre-Charrette Preparation
Task 2.b - Public Charrette
Task 3.0 - First Report Draft and Post-Charrette Work
Task 4.a - Revisions and Final Report Draft Delivery
Task 4.b - Final Document
Page 10 of 20
These are described in detail below:
Task 1.0 - Proiect Initiation and Kickoff Meetino (Week 1)
The HOK team will conduct a kickoff meeting (or series of meetings) with key personnel
from Monroe County to discuss and confirm the following:
the study issues and objectives;
preliminary extent of Big Pine Key/US 1 Corridor Area, as well as primary entry
points/gateways;
expectations and priorities of the stakeholders; and
the Work Plan; schedule of deliverables; participant roles (including forming the
steering/decision-making/approval groups and the technical resource group;
decision, approval and payment process; and uses for the deliverables/products.
It is anticipated that the County will provide HOK with copies of all existing development
regulations as outlined herein and in the RFP specifications.
These sessions will be interactive, seeking to elicit viewpoints of all participants to
establish study priorities and parameters. HOK, with assistance from County
Representatives, will prepare a recommended overall format and outline for the Project
Deliverables.
Task 2.a - Data Collection / Pre-Charrette Preparation (Week 2)
The HOK team will review existing development ordinances, policies, reports, data and
plans provided by the County at the Project Initiation in preparation for the actual
Charrette. Base maps as required (e.g. site surveys, CAD files, aerial photography,
etc.) will be provided by the County for the Study Area. It is anticipated that the County
will provide HOK with copies of all pertinent existing development regulations.
The overall planning and development context will be established on the basis of the
following:
consideration of the strategic context and role of the Big Pine Key/US 1 Corridor
Area and entry corridors/gateways under relevant planning studies and ordinances,
including planning standards, broad land use distribution, open space and
recreation, transportation, infrastructure, committed development and the like.
These factors will be assessed to identify potential impacts upon established
planning frameworks; and
an appreciation of resource availability and institutional mechanisms, transportation,
social, physical and environmental infrastructure provision.
HOK will also document existing conditions via surveys, photo-documentation and on-
site analysis to understand the prevailing opportunities and constraints. Street
character will be documented, including aspects of use, and time of day activity levels.
Storefront access, on-street parking, and public transportation ands pedestrian access
will be examined. Scale, visual character, buildings and structures, adjoining districts,
Page 11 of 20
open space provision, natural features and circulation patterns will be evaluated. A
walking tour with County Representatives and other stakeholders will also be
undertaken.
HOK will identify development opportunities and constraints affecting the Corridor Area
and its gateways. These include, but are not limited to:
previously/currently prescribed uses;
FAR, density or massing regulations;
other functional or visual restrictions; and
previously proposed development framework/intent.
The opportunities and constraints will be identified in sufficient detail towards the
formulation of a planning and development framework for the Big Pine Key/US 1
Corridor Area and gateways.
Task 2.b - Public Charrette (Week 3)
The Charrette will consist of a two (2) day work session, preferably in a location within
or in proximity of the project Study Area.
For the Charrette workshop, HOK will provide a team of planners, community
facilitators, traffic engineers and landscape architects to cover the range of issues
related to the study goals as described herein. HOK anticipates that in addition to
participation by key representatives from the Monroe County Growth Management
Division, other key County officials, community activists and interested stakeholders
would also be involved. The Charette will be publicly advertised and the public will be
encouraged to participate.
The Charrette will be organized and scheduled according to an approach agreed
between HOK and Monroe County. It is important for participants to be given ample
time to schedule attendance at specific meetings and reviews. It is imperative that key
Monroe County Growth Management Division members be available throughout the two
(2) day time period to participate in the dialogue and facilitate decision-making.
The Charrette will begin with a kick off session with representatives from Monroe
County, stakeholders and interested parties. During this meeting, the project goals and
objectives will be confirmed and the most relevant issues and conditions for the project
will be reviewed and updated.
The remainder of the first day will be spent primarily on internal work sessions focused
on developing a series of alternatives for review at the end of day afternoon with
Monroe County Growth Management Division, stakeholders and interested parties.
During this review, Monroe County will be presented with a series of alternatives for
review and discussion. It is the intent of this meeting to identify a preferred direction for
each design category, which will be refined by the next morning and further developed
over the two weeks following the Charrette.
The Charrette team will regroup the morning of the second day, review the results of the
previous day and change, vary or modify the proposed ideas as required. HOK
suggests that any opposing or unresolved issues be settled over a lunch meeting on the
second day.
Page 12 of 20
The early afternoon will be spent finalizing and revising drawings for presentation mid
afternoon. This presentation will also establish the content of the Final Report to follow
the Post-Charrette. The Charrette will conclude with a meeting with the Monroe County
Growth Management Division staff to agree on the next steps in refining the proposals,
as well as to understand the expectation for the first report draft.
A specific schedule and attendee list will be developed and reviewed with the Monroe
County Growth Management Division at least one week prior to the Charrette.
Task 3.0 - First Report Draft and Post-Charrette Work (Week 3-5)
Following the Design Charrette, the HOK team will refine and collate the materials and
proposals into a first Draft. This document forms the basis of the Final Report.
HOK anticipates that Monroe County will forward any and all comments on the first draft
within 5 working days of receiving the document.
Task 4.a - Revisions and Final Report Draft Delivery (Week 6)
Upon completion of Post-Charrette work, the HOK team will deliver a Final Report Draft
to the Monroe County Growth Management Division for a final review and comment.
From our experience, we find that documents need to be reviewed at least twice in
order to proof them thoroughly. Any changes or comments shall be submitted within 5
working days, to allow HOK enough time for revising the document as required. It
should be noted that while formatting and presentation revisions are anticipated design
changes on the fundamental content of the Enhancement Plan, however, will be
considered as additional services.
Task 4.b - Final Document (Week 7)
Upon receiving revisions and comments from Monroe County Growth Management
Division, HOK will complete the document and deliver an unbound 11 x17 color
document, as well as the required bound copies. In addition, a CD Rom containing the
Final Report and guidelines in PDF format, as well as individual drawings and images,
will be delivered to the Monroe County Growth Management Division.
