Torcaso Park Master Plan, City of Winter Springs, Florida
Proposal for Professional Services by Forest Michael, Landscape Architect
August 3, 2008
Mr. Chuck Pula, Director
Parks and Recreation Department
City of Winter Springs, FL
RE: Master Planning of Torcaso Park, 104 North Moss Road
Dear Mr. Pula,
Torcaso Park is a neighborhood park, with two lighted basketball courts, playground equipment,
splash water fountain, soccer, football field and fishing pier. Per our discussions, we are proposing to the
City of Winter Springs, to master plan the park to initially help coordinate future funding and design,
operations and maintenance, to maximize the parks use to residents. We will work directly with you and
other key staff, and interview other key persons. We will provide a direct approach to the planning and
propose the following, leaving room for flexibility as the City wishes:
e
1) The flat fee proposed for professional services is $10,000 including printing of one full color poster
board and (10) 11 "x17" color graphics.
2) Interviews with Park Staff and data collection of background mapping and information.
3) Field investigation verifying existing conditions.
4) Opportunities and constraints analysis resulting in the consideration of alternatives and the
development of best master plan solution.
5) Graphics production including the development of a key poster graphic color board for display at
the City Hall and other public events and on the City's website if desired. This poster will be used
for grants and other funding submittals.
6) Basis of Design - a narrative describing the highlights of the Master Plan for Torcaso Park and the
integration of the City's desires.
7) City Commission Presentation and/or a public Torcaso Park Neighborhood Worksession as the
City desires, including an electronic slide presentation and a mounted graphic board (included).
These services will be similar to our previous master plans with the City including Central Winds Park and
our initial work on the City's Town Center. We will bill monthly or at reasonable times for your approval.
Our work will be completed within 40 days including interviews and graphics. We will then meet with you
and others as you wish, to assure that the Master Plan is as anticipated. We will provide a professional
quality plan for your use, and for the benefit of your residents. The City's signature is our notice to proceed.
