Our team brings a proven ability to successfully manage and deliver multiple assignments across the state at the same time. Drawing upon our extensive Florida resources and the resources of our subconsultants, we have built a broad team of experts ready to make the Central Winds Park a vibrant center for Winter Springs. The rapid growth and changes that are occurring around Winter Springs require thoughtful leadership from the City, supported by the knowledge and experience of a seasoned team of professionals with a history of planning, designing and executing successful, high quality projects. The leaders of the CSG team have spent their careers creating such places. Our leadership team is strong, including Pete Sechler, PLA, AICP, Kristin Caborn, CPRE, FCP, and Donald Wishart, PLA, ASLA, all of whom have, for decades, played key roles in the development of Central Florida’s great community venues, parks, streetscapes and neighborhoods.

In addition to park planning and design, the CSG team also has extensive capabilities in wayfinding systems, land management plans, the design of complete streets, the completion of design guidelines, the creation of high-quality graphics for public involvement and participation meetings, and assistance through the construction phase of work. We believe our team represents diverse resources with a proven track record of effectuating positive change for community-driven outcomes.

Kristin Caborn, CPRE, FCP, will serve as Project Director and will lead the team with Andrea Penuela, PLA who will be the Project Manager. Ms. Caborn has 25 years of professional experience in public parks and recreation.

THE LINKAGE OF DESIGN, ENGINEERING, PLANNING, ECONOMICS, AND ENVIRONMENT IS WHAT SETS US APART AND ALLOWS US TO REALIZE OUR PASSION: WORKING WITH PARTNERS TO CREATE COMMUNITY Map Shows GAI Florida Office Locations Orlando Sanford Tampa Palm Beach Gardens Fort Lauderdale Jacksonville Office Responsible for Providing Services for this Contract GAI/CSG – Orlando (Prime) 618 East South Street, Suite 700 Orlando, FL 32801 407.423.8398 149 GAI Consultants, Inc.10 RFP- 05-24-03 LH • Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services • City of Winter Springs D.2 Proposer Experience GENERAL PLANNING Our team includes resources with vast national and local experience in leading planning and design efforts across a range of strategic and interconnected topics in cities of all sizes. These include every major City in Florida as well as Atlanta, Raleigh, Baltimore, Chicago, Minneapolis, Greenville, Washington, DC, Charlotte, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Columbus, Indianapolis, and Milwaukee. We have been engaged for work on such diverse projects as parks planning and design, campus master planning for universities and hospitals, feasibility studies for hotel/conference, museums, professional stadiums, neighborhood stabilization, suburban retrofit, infill and redevelopment, corridor plans, development codes and guidelines as well as strategic economic development plans. As a result of these skills and capabilities, we can bring national-caliber capabilities for Central Winds Park and its interface with surrounding land uses. And we are fully capable of participating with staff in the vision and strategic thinking regarding the broader systems that link the entire community and provide a stronger sense of place for residents and businesses. COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING Comprehensive planning seeks to influence the amount, type, timing, character, and location of future development within a jurisdiction. This type of planning at all scales is in our roots. We have worked with, or are currently working with challenged communities, such as the Town of Eatonville, Orange Blossom Trail CRA, the City of Mount Dora, the City of Kissimmee, and Seminole County . We have also provided comprehensive planning services in high value areas with tremendous upward mobility, such as St. Petersburg and Jacksonville’s South Bank. In all cases, our linkage of professions is what provides value because we view the community holistically and can integrate our services to provide actionable solutions to complex areas. Our team includes personnel who have managed municipal comprehensive planning programs in Florida. Because of this we have a deep understanding of comprehensive planning in Florida, which was largely turned over to local governments in 2011, with the economic development functions and oversight now occurring in the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO). This was a marked reduction in State oversight of comprehensive planning in Florida and is still in effect today. Local Florida municipalities have more autonomy to amend their comprehensive plans, which today tend to be more oriented toward economic growth and development. The DEO still reviews local comprehensive plans for areas of critical State concern, primarily for affordable housing, resilience to natural disasters, and sustainability, rather than reviewing every aspect of local plans, or every amendment in detail. Additionally, we understand the DEO assists communities like Winter Springs with both funding and technical assistance. These programs include the Florida Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program for cities smaller than 50,000 in population, and technical assistance in planning, grant applications, and program management. Additionally, The DEO administers the Competitive Florida Partnership for economic development strategy technical assistance, the Job Growth Fund incentive program for public infrastructure that helps create jobs and stimulate economic growth, and small business assistance through partnering with and providing resources to local Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs), of which UCF has a satellite office in Winter Springs. The CSG Team also understands that we in Florida have new laws affecting municipal comprehensive plans and zoning, such as the Live Local Act, which can impact existing land use plans and local expectations through a few items of State preemption. The intent of this act was to provide more affordable housing in Florida, but the law may accomplish this at the potential costs of lands that cities have designated for commercial, industrial, or employment center uses. Additionally, taller building heights and higher densities than the surrounding contexts might have allowed in the past could be imposed in areas identified for Live Local projects. Due to this evolving nature of the comprehensive planning process in Florida, our approach will be consistent with State statutes and the Florida Administrative Code, as amended. However, we also utilize a variety of tools and techniques that are available to minimize the impact of new growth while encouraging sustainable development. We understand our role as planning staff to the city is to provide a menu of growth management options for the City to consider to protect its interests and its future tax base. 150 gaiconsultants.com/communitysolutionsgroup RFP- 05-24-03 LH • Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services • City of Winter Springs 11 Our Parks and Recreation Commitment ƒCity of Atlanta Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan, Atlanta, GA ƒ Clay County Parks and Recreation Master Plan ƒChattanooga Tennessee Parks Master Plan, Chattanooga ƒ Fernandina Beach Parks Master Planning, Fernandina Beach ƒ Lake Alfred Parks and Recreation Master Plan, Lake Alfred ƒ North Miami Beach Parks and Recreation Master Plan, North Miami Beach ƒTavares Parks and Recreation Master Plan, Tavares ƒ27th Avenue Park, New Smyrna Beach ƒAtwater Community Park, North Port ƒAustin Tindal Regional Park, Osceola County ƒBelle Terre Park, Palm Coast ƒBennett Park, Volusia County ƒBirthplace of Speed Park, Ormond Beach ƒBlue Cypress Pool Design, Jacksonville ƒChild’s Park, Mt.

Organizational Chart 153 GAI Consultants, Inc.14 RFP- 05-24-03 LH • Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services • City of Winter Springs D.4 Florida Knowledge and Qualifications PARKS MAKE PLACES The CSG Team understands the larger planning issues typical of Florida municipalities and we know parks and public spaces can be economic drivers in themselves. All communities can be defined by the public places that we share. Our beliefs about the cities we live in are formed in great part by the quality of the parks, trails, and civic places we frequent. When considering the full range of important things that local government does, there is no other function that touches a broader representation of the residents through direct personal experience than the places it has created for its people. A complete view of the public realm includes the full spectrum of active and passive recreation opportunities in well-designed parks. In vibrant communities, access to that system begins at your front door, with walkable streets, bikeways, greenways, and trails to create a well-connected system of local places and regional destinations. PARKS AND PUBLIC SPACES IMPLEMENT GOALS Parks and public spaces, including their connected trails, are the platform that can deliver on the needs of a wide variety of community entities.

We draft clear plans and regulations designed to support community goals, preserve lifestyle choices, and create economic development and redevelopment opportunities, and we forge partnerships between stakeholders and local governments to achieve these positive outcomes. Project Understanding Central Winds Park is comprised of approximately 100 acres and is located in the Town Center District of Winter Springs, a lakefront community park with a mix of active and passive uses that is anchoring the planned center of commerce and activity for the City. The park is Winter Spring’s community hub for exercise, games, and events. The Town Center has a Transect-based zoning code overlay that is expected to provide more walkable, denser, and higher intensity redevelopment to the area surrounding the park. The Cross Seminole Trail runs adjacent to and crosses through a portion of the park, providing regional bicycle and pedestrian connectivity for the park to the larger Seminole County trails system. The trail itself is an important regional asset, providing trail-oriented development opportunities in Winter Spring’s Town Center area and trail- oriented amenities in Central Winds Park itself. The City of Winter Springs would like to update the Master Plan for Central Winds Park to explore conceptual park improvements, transportation improvements, updated and potentially relocated public facilities, signage, implementation strategy and funding opportunities for the park that reinforces Winter Spring’s surrounding Town Center land uses, protects environmentally sensitive lands in the park, and improves access and circulation to and through the park. One particular item the City wants to analyze is the possibility of a boardwalk along the Lake Jesup shoreline that will bring people closer to the water while connecting to the Park’s Nature Trail, adjacent streets, and the Cross Seminole Trail. The CSG Team understands that environmental and sustainability issues are concerns of the City for the Park, which is clear in both the comprehensive plan’s Conservation and Recreation and Open Space elements. Our Team will work to identify environmentally sensitive areas and to develop recommendations for management Riverwalk | Sanford, FL 155 GAI Consultants, Inc.16 RFP- 05-24-03 LH • Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services • City of Winter Springs to preserve, sustain, and potentially mitigate/restore such areas. We will integrate the history and growth of the park as it pertains to environmentally sensitive areas, habitats, and tree species into our design narrative, and work with City staff to identify and develop suggestions for educational opportunities within the Park relative to ecological communities or the presence of rare or unique species and systems. Our Team will identify natural and cultural resources the City should consider protecting, such as rare and sensitive habitats, species of special concern, roosting and nesting areas for sensitive wildlife species, wetland and flood prone areas affected by seasonal high water levels, and other pertinent items as identified by the City and through the engagement process. Our parks planning and design staff, paired with our market analysis group, will evaluate the feasibility and benefits of proposing a lodge/event center within the park. Our Team will also provide an assessment of existing facility conditions within Central Winds Park and identify improvement opportunities. We will also look at the feasibility and benefits of adding additional popular amenities such as frisbee golf and other recreational activities to increase the utilization of the park in all seasons. The CSG Team can evaluate the possibility and location of concession locations within Central Winds Park’s passive area and analyze options for seating accommodations for the Amphitheater area. The updated Central Winds Park Master Plan will include a robust and vetted implementation strategy that will include implementation goals for the five- and ten-year horizons. Since the CSG Team is experienced with implementing our plans and getting parks built, we can effectively and realistically scope future projects based on priority, level of effort, and cost.

We specialize in providing professional services as the prime consultant, drawing upon a unique blend of in- house experts and utilizing specialty subconsultants as necessary to meet the project’s individual work assignment requirements. Cost Estimating and CIP Given our extensive Florida municipal knowledge and experience, the CSG Team possesses ample experience in performing data analysis, calculating cost estimates, and preparing budgets for projects of varying sizes, and we are well suited to providing cost estimates as outlined in the scope of services for this RFP. Cost estimating for parks and recreation projects requires a comprehensive approach that incorporates various factors, including materials, item specifications, and ADA requirements. Materials for such projects often include durable and weather-resistant options like pressure-treated or naturally rot-resistant lumber, composite decking, recycled plastic, and galvanized steel. These materials are chosen for their longevity and minimal maintenance needs, ensuring the park’s durability over time. Item specifications must cover a wide range of features, such as playground equipment, seating, lighting, pathways, landscaping, and restrooms. For example, playground equipment should be specified by age appropriateness, safety features, and compliance with ASTM standards. ADA requirements play a crucial role in cost estimating. Ensuring accessibility involves incorporating features like ramps, tactile warning surfaces, railings, accessible seating, and inclusive playground equipment. Pathways must be designed with appropriate slopes and widths, and surfaces should be firm, stable, and slip resistant. Restrooms need to be equipped with accessible fixtures and adequate turning space for wheelchairs. Compliance with the Florida Building Code, Accessibility standards often involves additional costs, but it is essential for ensuring that facilities are inclusive for all users. Accurate cost estimating also involves considering site- specific factors such as soil conditions, topography, and existing infrastructure. Additionally, soft costs like design fees, permits, and contingency allowances should be included. By integrating detailed specifications for materials, adherence to accessibility requirements, and site-specific considerations, cost estimates can be more precise, helping to ensure the successful completion of parks and recreation projects. Soldiers Creek Park | Seminole County, FL 163 GAI Consultants, Inc.22 RFP- 05-24-03 LH • Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services • City of Winter Springs Estimating for capital improvement projects involves a detailed assessment of the scope, timeline, and financial requirements of large-scale infrastructure enhancements or new construction. These projects typically include renovations, expansions, or new constructions of public facilities, utilities, and transportation networks. Key components in the cost estimation process include materials, labor, equipment, and subcontractor costs, each of which must be accurately quantified and priced. Special considerations include the project’s complexity, potential for unforeseen conditions, and the need for specialized equipment or expertise. Additionally, regulatory compliance and permitting processes can add to both the timeline and budget. One of the most critical aspects is contingency planning. Given the scale of capital improvement projects, there is a higher likelihood of encountering unexpected challenges, such as environmental issues, supply chain disruptions, or changes in regulatory requirements. A contingency allowance, typically a percentage of the total project cost, should be included to cover these uncertainties. Moreover, inflation and market volatility can affect material and labor costs over the project’s duration, necessitating regular updates to the cost estimate. Stakeholder engagement and clear communication with all parties involved are vital to manage expectations and ensure that the project stays on track and within budget. Accurate and dynamic cost estimating, incorporating these special considerations, is essential for the successful execution of capital improvement projects. Land Development Codes and Review Our team has written and administered a variety of land development regulations, codes, and guidelines. Many types of public and private redevelopment efforts often include some form of targeted development regulation instrument, of which our team has authored many. Regarding evaluation of private development proposals, we are successful because we understand the intent of the public documents and community goals as well as the usual needs of all types of private development models. As a result, we have been particularly effective in cities from Columbus, Ohio, to Orlando, Florida, at reconciling development plans with urban guidelines and vision. Our team can provide input on recommended changes to the land development code, based on our extensive public and private sector experience throughout Florida. Our team includes personnel who have managed municipal land development programs in Florida. A city is always evolving. Annexations, demographics, economic climate, and population growth all affect how a city functions. The role of land use planning and zoning is sometimes to respond to those changes, and at other times anticipate those changes. We are advocates for proper planning that can help coordinate resources to more effectively manage the built environment and the resources required to run a city. Our land use planning experience, tied directly to development, economics, and urban design, can help the City achieve its goals and serve its residents more effectively. Economic Development Services Our approach to providing Economic Development services is embodied in the close relationship of our CSG Planning and CSG Economics professionals and the integration of our collective experience, skills, and abilities. In our opinion, successful Economic Development is described as achieving three things: ƒA focus of local government to improve community standards of living – Creation of jobs, higher wealth, sense of community, and an overall better quality of life. Sports & Entertainment District Design/Construction & Education Hub Authentic Food District Auto and Services Hub Education and Jobs District Holden Ave Americana Blvd Oak Ridge Rd Sand Lake RdRio Grande AveWestmoreland DrWEST ORLANDO HOLDEN HEIGHTS HOLDEN AMERICANA LAKE ELLENOR OBTNext | Orlando, FL 164 gaiconsultants.com/communitysolutionsgroup RFP- 05-24-03 LH • Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services • City of Winter Springs 23 ƒThe net gain of economic flow into the community – Simply put, creating the business and industry activity in excess of local consumption needs. ƒMeasured progress in economic activity – Adoption of new technologies, transition from agriculture to services and industry, and the improvement in individual standards of living. We therefore cater our approach to providing our clients with Economic Development services based on individual needs in relation to their existing success in Economic Development. For example, some communities may simply require a more focused, efficient Economic Development plan that crates a roadmap and identifies opportunities and constraints, specific tools, and funding (e.g., OBTNext). While all communities have a desire to improve standards of living, we can provide the support for the initial steps to bring that vision together in a form that creates the necessary focus for the community to be successful. On the other hand, some community needs are past the focus and vision stage and require support for executing and implementing the components that add to success in economic development. These components can include urban planning, land-use policies, zoning regulations, infrastructure design and construction, tax- increment projections and funding, marketing, and market analysis. Finally, in the most mature stages of economic development, some communities rely on our services to measure their successes to quantify the benefits created for the community or refine their focus where needed (e.g., Winter Park). In short, our approach to Economic Development in each case would be targeted to your needs and are more specifically outlined in those services described under our approaches to general planning, market analysis, comprehensive planning, land-use regulation, zoning, and rate studies. Market Study and Analysis Industry, Real Estate, or Market Feasibility studies (Market Analysis) should be a reflection of the existing supply and demand for a defined trade area and generally follow an industry standard approach. Our approach for market feasibility studies, culminating in a detailed final report, can broadly be organized between the following: ƒProject due diligence ƒMarket due diligence ƒIdentifying market opportunities The primary purposes of a Market Analysis would be to test the concept generally, identify the range of activities suited to its intended orientation, size the properly for the potential project, estimate a range of supportable demand, and test its relationship with other area project components. Every project is unique, and we recognize the potential for adjusting specific tasks to meet your needs and create a final scope that would be tailored for this proposed project. Thus, one of the most important steps in our process is the initial client meeting and outlining the specific goals and objectives of the assignment. Afterwards, we anticipate the process for developing a final market feasibility analysis would flow as described above. Public Outreach and Engagement Grounded in extensive public outreach, community input, and data analysis, GAI is comfortable working inclusively with a wide array of constituents from residents and business owners, land owners, peer consultants, special interest stakeholders, elected officials, and public agency representatives.

CLOUD, FLORIDA Chisholm Park is one of the many jewels in the City of St. Cloud’s parks system. Its rural nature along with its mature oak canopy are becoming harder to find in an ever- expanding urban environment. Featuring a public boat ramp and large, open play areas, Chisholm Park is an ideal setting of a variety of outdoor recreation experiences for all ages. Per the Citywide Vision Plan and the Parks and Recreation Master Plan, Chisholm Park is envisioned to be an all-inclusive park that is completely ADA accessible. The park incorporates information from these two plans to optimize the adjacent land uses as well as connections around the park. The master planning process began with the consultant team gathering data related to the current park layout and inventory; as well as special events, such as the Battle of Narcoossee, which is an annual tradition. This formed the foundation and starting point for the new master plan. As with all master plans, public input is paramount to developing a plan the meets the needs of the community. Typically, this is done through a series of meetings designed to inform the public of the project’s nature and solicit input related the desires of the community. With the onset of COVID in 2020, the consultant team held online meetings in an innovative and interactive live format that proved very successful. Also, a unique website was developed to keep the public informed on the ongoing planning process, and to allow users to tour the site without leaving home. The website allowed for users to place points on an aerial and leave comments at these locations about strengths and weaknesses of the park from a user’s standpoint. Another website activity was a “Dream Park”, which included a survey featuring a variety of park programming elements that ranged from nature-based recreation to special events. The survey allowed users to select desired programs and rate program elements from least to most desirable. Lastly, the website contained a traditional online survey to collect data such as demographic information and a ranking for desired amenities. Based on 381 surveyed participants, the consultant team gathered and analyzed the data provided to incorporate specific park uses into the final design. The respondents’ “Dream Park" activities included trails, picnic areas, nature play, wildlife interaction possibilities, lakefront activities, special events, and sports/fitness activities. Specific program elements requested were: ƒ Multi-Use Walking Trails ƒ Picnic Opportunities ƒ Nature-theme Play and Obstacle Course ƒ Native Plant Garden ƒ Observation Tower ƒ Educational Signage ƒ Limited Camping Opportunities ƒ Fishing Pier ƒ Open Beach ƒ Slash Pad ƒKayak/Boat Rental Options ƒ Dog Park ƒ Restrooms ƒDisc Golf Finally, a Conceptual Rough Magnitude of Cost associated with the build out of the park was provided to assist the City with understanding their future capital improvements budget and how the master implementation might be plan over several years.

The City engaged GAI/CSG as the prime consultant to provide professional technical services. Unity Park provides stormwater management for 40+ acres of redevelopment and public open space. The system utilizes a treatment train with baffle box, filter marsh, and wet detention to provide nutrient removal prior to discharge to Starke Lake, improving the overall water quality in the lake. A pre-existing swale and piped conveyance system through the site is realigned and naturalized as a gentle stream. The design incorporates check dams to slow the flow and encourage contaminant settling and vegetative nutrient uptake through additional native plantings. The 6-acre park features a quarter-mile walking loop, comprising a wide boardwalk with views of the filter marsh and naturalized stream, a pier and shade pavilion overlooking the wet pond, a Florida-native planting palette throughout, and new parking and streetscape along Franklin Street. Infrastructure improvements also included the installation of over 900 LF of storm pipe (ranging from 18” to 60”) and over 700 LF of 6” and 8” water main pipe. GAI and CSG’s services included site civil engineering, landscape architecture, survey, electrical, structural, and geotechnical engineering, irrigation design, permitting through the City of Ocoee and SJRWMD, and construction phase management.

The expansion will add to the desirability of Osceola County as a destination and also enhance the quality of life for those living in the area. To date, the Park comprises ten multipurpose fields, a stadium, parking for about 1,700 cars, and various administrative or support facilities. Expansion plans contemplate the addition of ten multipurpose fields, as well as areas dedicated to cross country running, paint ball and rowing via controlled lake access. The work considered academic literature for background, theory, and findings; case studies of multi-purpose sports facilities and complexes; sports participation data for context; review of locally available tourism data for comparisons; and the application of an Impact Analysis and Planning (IMPLAN) model based on the summarized assumptions developed from our research and case studies. GAI/CSG relied extensively on data that had been collected over the course of many years in several settings and adjusted any spending information to 2021 dollars to aid comparisons. The analysis also considered data from Orlando and Kissimmee specifically which, of course, have their own discrete spending characteristics because of the region’s theme park influences. The reconciled case study data is illustrated in several tables within this report. Finally, GAI prepared and discussed with staff the key activity and spending assumptions for use in the IMPLAN models. GAI expanded upon IMPLAN’s measure of the latter by focusing on tourist taxes as well as several discrete classes of property taxes so this indicator of fiscal benefit would be much more specific to Osceola County. The analysis revealed, based on generalized data with local adjustments, suggest that there could be very significant economic and fiscal impacts as a result of the Austin Tindall Park expansion in Osceola County. 183 GAI Consultants, Inc.42 RFP- 05-24-03 LH • Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services • City of Winter Springs CLIENT City of Plantation SERVICES ƒLandscape Architecture + Design –Parks, Trails + Public Realm –Green Infrastructure + Environmental Design ƒLand Development –Civil/Site Engineering ƒUrban Design + Planning ƒWayfinding COMPLETION DATE 2023 (Master Plan) PLANTATION CENTRAL PARK MASTER PLAN BROWARD COUNTY | PLANTATION, FLORIDA GAI and its Community Solutions Group (CSG) in partnership with Wannemacher Jensen Architects, provided comprehensive design and planning services to the City of Plantation, Florida, for the completion of a master plan for the City’s Central Park. The existing 107-acre park includes the Veltri Tennis Center, the Plantation Aquatic Complex, a multi-purpose building, a baseball/softball complex, soccer fields, a running track, pickleball complex, basketball, a 10 acre lake, and all associated support infrastructure. Tasks included a complete inventory of the existing park conditions and infrastructure— such as utilities (water, electricity, sewer), ingress/egress to the park, parking, recreation facilities and usage (aquatics, tennis, pickleball, athletics, events, and programming); as well as extensive public input. GAI/CSG developed three Master Plan concepts for modifying Central Park that addresses the City’s present needs, while providing a blueprint for future development of the park. These concepts include improved access to the park via the newly constructed adjacent roadways, better pedestrian connectivity within the park, wayfinding, additional spectator seating, upgrades to existing buildings, outdoor community event space, and improved and expanded parking. Also, as part of the Master Plan development, GAI/CSG performed an overall ADA site analysis, culminating in a site accessibility assessment report that outlined locations within the park where accessibility could be improved. Through stakeholder input and communication with the park’s advisory team, the three Master Plan concepts for Central Park have been condensed into one feasible phased plan for the City to adopt and implement. 184 gaiconsultants.com/communitysolutionsgroup RFP- 05-24-03 LH • Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services • City of Winter Springs 43 PLANTATION CENTRAL PARK MASTER PLAN (PROJECT CONTINUED) 185 GAI Consultants, Inc.44 RFP- 05-24-03 LH • Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services • City of Winter Springs INDEPENDENCE LANE ORANGE COUNTY | MAITLAND, FLORIDA The Independence Lane corridor between Horatio and Packwood Avenues is set to be the starting point for a genuine downtown Maitland.

The PRMP will serve as a roadmap that will guide the future of the County’s parks and recreation system—effectively enriching recreational experiences for all residents and visitors. Clay County, located in northeast Florida, is experiencing rapid growth, especially in its urban area along the St. Johns River. Creating a viable PRMP is a comprehensive process that includes broad public engagement, along with field work and analysis. GAI’s equitable public input program includes a combination of in-person/virtual meetings, a statistically valid and online survey, and targeted focus groups. Another consideration for the PRMP is planning for growth in parks and recreation with an eye toward equity across an urban, suburban, and rural transect. Since population growth is a key influence in decision-making, traditional population projection methodologies do not provide accurate enough data to forecast where people are moving and how quickly it’s happening. To overcome this, the GAI team used the smaller-scale Transportation Analysis Zone (TAZ) Data and Micro Analysis Zone (MAZ) data to project population more accurately and, subsequently, guide decisions for equitable level of service now and into the future. GAI also evaluated the County’s existing Level of Service (LOS) by examining current measurement tools and proposing a revised measurement tool to more accurately demonstrate where current and future population will demand parks and recreation investment. This evaluation and analysis incorporates pertinent results of the public workshops, statistically valid survey, and focus group meetings to form the guiding principles of the PRMP—pertaining to park standards, land acquisition, renovations, and policies—and develop succinct, achievable goals and objectives to realize each of the principles. This visioning has resulted in an implementable PRMP that prioritizes recommendations while incorporating available and projected capital resources and to move the Clay County Parks and Recreation Department through 2034. 194 gaiconsultants.com/communitysolutionsgroup RFP- 05-24-03 LH • Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services • City of Winter Springs 53 CLAY COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION SYSTEM MASTER PLAN (PROJECT CONTINUED) 195 GAI Consultants, Inc.54 RFP- 05-24-03 LH • Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services • City of Winter Springs 12 | Alachua County Parks & Open Space Master Plan The following breakdown of Guiding Principles provides a further explanation of the desired Objectives for each Guiding Principle as well as the Implementation Strategies that serve as the blueprint to reach these aspirations. Collectively, these Objectives and Implementation Strategies guide the specific recommendations provided in the Vision. ALACHUA COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN ALACHUA COUNTY, FLORIDA GAI and its Community Solutions Group (CSG) worked through local civil engineering firm JB Pro to create a modern, implementable, comprehensive parks and recreation master plan for Alachua County, Florida. Alachua County comprises nine incorporated cities and towns that offer a multitude of municipal park and recreation opportunities. These areas collectively are estimated to contain over half the County’s population. The Alachua County Parks & Open Space Master Plan served as a roadmap to guide how the County’s system can effectively enrich recreation experiences for all County residents and visitors. To accomplish this, the Master Plan provided an in-depth review of existing conditions, needs, and desires before developing a blueprint for the future of the system. The Master Plan aimed to be a proactive plan for the Parks and Open Space Department to better prepare for future growth and anticipated needs of the greater Alachua County community. Specifically, the Master Plan achieved the following: ƒEnsured consistency with the overall vision of the Comprehensive Plan ƒEvaluated current park properties and facilities ƒEvaluated and made recommendations regarding priorities for the improvement and expansion of these facilities ƒPlanned for a future parks system that responds to growth within Alachua County ƒMade recommendations for prioritization of future land acquisition and park facility construction ƒIdentified and made recommendations on how the County might partner with other agencies to maximize its park and open space resources ƒLocated and identified existing bicycle and pedestrian pathways in the County and recommended safe connections between park properties ƒCreated an action plan that was implementable, and identified acquisitions and projects for the future ƒProvided a conceptual blueprint for improving, sustaining, and enhancing the Quality of life in Alachua County CLIENT Alachua County SERVICES ƒParks + Recreation System Master Planning ƒLandscape Architecture + Design –Parks, Trails + Public Realm ƒUrban Design + Planning –Parks System Planning + Bike/ Pedestrian Systems ƒInventory + Mapping ƒPublic Outreach + Engagement COMPLETION 2023 FEBRUARY 2023 ALACHUA COUNTY PARKS & OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN 196 gaiconsultants.com/communitysolutionsgroup RFP- 05-24-03 LH • Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services • City of Winter Springs 55 189 ft Orange C re e k 26 24 47 18 18 121 241 241232 340 337 337 225 138 121 346 241 21 21 26 16 18 100 315 234 1474 27 27 27 27 301 301 301 75 Park Springs State Park Preserve State Paynes Prairie Butler State Palatka-to-Lake State Trail Gainesville-to-Hawthorne W m a Camp Blanding Alachua Gilchrist Bradford Putnam Trenton Newberry High Springs Alachua Chiefland Williston Starke Gainesville A B C D E F G K J I H DISTRICT 1 DISTRICT 2 DISTRICT 3 DISTRICT 4 DISTRICT 56 5 4 7 1 2 26 17 13 14 2018 19 2223 21 10 25 11 29 28 27 16 9 3 12 8 15 24 New Parks A Community Park Rural: 6 mi.

PROXIMITY AND ACCESS All residents have access to opportunities for play and recreation: • Each resident lives within a close range of either a neighborhood park (1-mile urban or 2-miles rural) or a community park (3-miles urban or 6-miles rural). • A robust network of trails and pathways connect users with park amenities. • Parks provide amenities to facilitate multi-modal access. PROVIDE FOR TODAY AND PLAN FOR TOMORROW Parks provide for the needs of current users and respond to future trends. • To achieve equity, Parks throughout the county are of a consistent quality and meet basic standards. • Amenities offered respond to the needs of surrounding park users achieved through a community engagement process. • Amenities planned for future parks respond to trends and forecasting. INCLUSIVITY AND SAFETY Parks are safe and welcoming to multicultural users of all ages and abilities: • Each park provides facilities usable by people of all ages and abilities. • Each park promotes safe and inclusive spaces for all users.

The last master plan was performed by a different firm, and while had some visioning elements that provided guidance, it was not written in a way to be implementable. To move the City in a direction where they can have an implementable plan, we are approaching the project as partners. We have completed a detailed inventory and assessment report which is also linked to a smart GIS mapping and asset database for ongoing management of all City park assets. The technical inventory was also informed by substantial public involvement including highly participatory public meetings in all 6 City Districts and a City-wide Statistically Valid and on-line surveys. Our team provided facility assessment and programming analysis for all of the neighborhood centers and recreation programming. An in-depth GIS-based connectivity analysis for bike/ped access to parks and recreation facilities was designed to help the City with their 10 Minute Walk Grant from the Trust For Public Land. Our team is also evaluating viable sustainable parks best practices for Orlando based on what’s important to the public and obtainable for the department. All of this information will inform the actual Master Plan recommendations and prioritization of future Parks and Recreation investments. CSG continues to work toward the completion of this master planning effort with the City, Community, and our Team.

The master plan helped the City create a plan that had an implementation focus on providing an equitable level of service to all of its residents. Cauley Lott Park was identified as a neighborhood park that had been well loved over the years but was past its useful life and no longer serving the residents of the area to the new level of service established for Mount Dora Parks. It was identified as the first priority implementation project as a result of the master plan. GAI and its Community Solutions Group (CSG) provided concept planning, public input, grant assistance, construction documents, permitting, and construction administration services to breathe new life into the park. Cauley Lott Park has a lot of engaged, passionate neighbors and there was a lot of enthusiasm about the renovated park. The site master planning process included comprehensive public input that cumulated with an open house even during the very popular, well attended annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Festival at the park. Our team was able to connect with people of all ages in the community to help uncover their vision for the park and help guide our pen as we put their vision on paper. The concept planning phase included creating several iterations of a site plan based on the public input process. The concepts were reviewed by the public, the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA), and the City Commission. A final, approved concept laid the groundwork for the construction document phase. The City hired a Construction Manager at Risk to build the project and GAI/CSG staffworked hand in hand with City staff and the Construction Manager throughout the design and construction project and ultimately cut the ribbon on the new park at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Festival in February 2023. 199 GAI Consultants, Inc.58 RFP- 05-24-03 LH • Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services • City of Winter Springs Passive Parks Environmental Learning Centers Palm Coast Linear Park | Palm Coast, FL Marine Science Center | Volusia County, FL Brevard Environmental Learning Center | Vero Beach, FLLong Ceeek Nature Center | Palm Coast, FL 200 FUTURE ROADWAY BUILD-OUT OPTION SEE FUTURE ROADWAY BUILD-OUT OPTION Golden Gate Camino TrailGolden Gate CRA DRAWING NO.DATE OF ISSUEREVISION 1 of 108/16/2019v1 A GAI Consultants, Inc.

We will also look at issues and factors requiring special consideration, including overview summaries from the various City Departments relevant to this project. ƒFollowing the initial City kick-off, CSG will conduct a separate kick-off meeting with the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee (PRAC) to obtain input required for the development of the master plan. ƒBased on ideas generated during these initial meetings and other assessments carried out as part of this task, the CSG will prepare and email a written program statement summarizing the program elements for the area's development. This program statement will be the basis for the preparation of the conceptual plan for the site. Site/Code Investigation ƒCSG will obtain pertinent site information from the City, and review other existing site data, including availability of utilities, on-site and off-site drainage constraints, soils information, existing features, existing vegetation and other environmental features, adjacent land uses and adjacent roadway constraints and opportunities for boardwalk, trail, and walk connectivity. This information will be included in our deliverable for this task. ƒ Research existing published literature and available documents pertinent to the project area’s natural and cultural resources. ƒ Review existing databases from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) for the presence of federal and state listed plant and animal species, including a search of the FWC database and the Audubon Society’s Eaglewatch database for the presence of Southern Bald Eagle nest(s) on site or within a one-mile radius of the project area. The review will also include a query of the Service’s Information for Planning and Consultation (IPaC) system (RFP Task 2.0). Feasibility Assessments ƒResearch demand and benchmarking for lodge/event center within the park at a high level including broader market trends and common market requirements necessary to support this kind of activity. Analysis would be supplemented by up to four case studies providing practical insight into any quantitative efforts. 2.Site Visits Natural Resources Assessment ƒConduct one site assessment to evaluate the presence of threatened and endangered species, critical habitat, and natural communities, including the presence of wetlands potentially within the jurisdiction of governmental agencies with statutory permitting authority following the 2010 Final Atlantic & Gulf Coast Supplement to the Corps of Engineers Wetlands Delineation Manual (1987) and the Unified Wetland Delineation Methodology for the State of Florida dated July 1, 1994. Delineation of the landward extent of wetlands is not included in this Scope of Services. ƒPrepare a Natural Resources Assessment Report outlining the findings of the on-site field investigation.

Winter Springs City Hall 1126 East State Road 434 Winter Springs, Florida 32708 Subject: Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services RFP- 05-24-03 LH Dear Evaluation Committee: The City of Winter Springs’ population has grown an additional 1.6% since April 2020 to almost 39,000 residents in 2023, according to the United States Census Bureau. The population is projected to continue to grow to 50,000 residents by the year 2050. Much of this growth can be attributed to the quality of life that Winter Springs provides, which includes its park system. This projected increase is going to further challenge the City of Winter Springs’s infrastructure, and its parks, including Central Winds Park. The City’s currently adopted Comprehensive Plan identifies that by the year 2040, it is possible that the City will not be able to maintain its adopted level of service for city-owned open space of four (4) acres per 1,000 residents.

FDC has been selected and is working with a growing number of municipalities.

We believe that the City of Winter Springs will further benefit since FDC is going to be able to provide the City and its residents an unbiased “fresh set of eyes” as related to the Central Winds Park Master Plan Update.

The park is one of the busiest Regional Park in Pasco County, due to its boat ramps and variety of activities, including the launching of kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards. There are over 200 lineal feet of beachfront along the Anclote River, along with playgrounds, trails, and picnic shelters. Pasco County recognized that due to the increased growth in the demand for the boat ramps, since COVID, there was a lack of trailer parking. The County also wanted to create a better separation with the more passive family spaces. The County issued a Request for Qualifications that included a conceptual master plan. Mr. Kaschyk, AICP, evaluated the County’s Conceptual Master Plan provided in the RFQ and revised the plan with several recommendations on how to ease the boat ramp operations and provide greater maneuverability and tie-down areas that the existing park did not provide. The plan increased the trailer and truck parking areas with an increase in the “pull-thru” parking. This plan also expanded the trail system with more shelters, separated the parking for those wishing to launch their kayaks and/or canoes, and recognized the eagle’s nest which the conceptual site plan did not incorporate. As a result of these recommendations and revised conceptual master plan, the County without any further interviewing – selected the consulting firm that Mr. Kaschyk was employed.

Specialty venues have been designed for local chefs to showcase their street-food creations from within repurposed shipping containers decorated by Tampa artists to tie in the industrial feel. 344 LPER33014.2024 15RFP- 05-24-03-LH l CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS CENTRAL WINDS PARK MASTER PLAN UPDATE SERVICES SRP PARK (NORTH AUGUSTA GREENJACKETS / HAMMOND’S FERRY) Kimley-Horn provided professional consulting services for this baseball park and master planned, mixed-use community. The City of North Augusta partnered with the owner and operator of the Augusta GreenJackets Professional Baseball Club, Agon Sports and Entertainment, and Greenstone Properties in a Public Private Partnership (P3) to construct a new minor league baseball ballpark and mixed-use town center. The ballpark site is approximately seven acres and is part of a larger 35-acre development (Hammond’s Ferry) that is being developed as a master planned, mixed-use commercial district. Two other main building structures, the right-field restaurant and the multifamily residential complex along the left field wall were designed in conjunction with the ballpark plans. Kimley- Horn provided land planning, landscape architecture, civil engineering, utility engineering, and traffic engineering services. A waterfront park and connections to the existing Augusta Greeneway were also designed as a part of this project along the Savannah River and were an integral part of the ballpark experience. The overall master plan includes a mixed-use village creating a new center for the Hammond’s Ferry development. The project includes a 275-room hotel, 300-multifamily units, 60,000 square feet of dedicated office space, approximately 160,000 square feet of mixed-use commercial and restaurant uses, and approximately 28 single-family residential units. 345 LPER33014.2024 16RFP- 05-24-03-LH l CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS CENTRAL WINDS PARK MASTER PLAN UPDATE SERVICES SIESTA KEY BEACH PARK >Sarasota, FL Kimley-Horn worked with Sarasota County for the implementation of this $21-million project.

It serves as an important link between the Gordon River Greenway to the east and downtown Naples to the southwest, which is easily accessible from the park through on-street sidewalk and bike lane connections. The site was previously used as a landfill for yard waste and dredge material from the adjacent river. The vision for the park was to create a central gathering space for residents and visitors, with a mix of recreation opportunities, while using the landscape and park design to tell the history of the site and create opportunities for environmental education. After an extensive public engagement, planning, design, and construction process, the former landfill has been converted into a beautiful park with a mix of passive and active recreation, social gathering spaces, and environmental design solutions. Primary design elements include a multi-purpose community center with concessions and restrooms; a playground with equipment for two-to-five-year-old children, and one for five-to-twelve-year- old children; a separate nature-themed playground; a splash pad; a Founder’s Garden; day docks; an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-accessible canoe/kayak launch; “The Knoll,” which features an overlook with panoramic views of the river and Naples; a stormwater treatment train with a filter marsh; an amphitheater; a sunrise terrace; boardwalks/ overlooks; and trail systems for pedestrians and cyclists. 347 LPER33014.2024 18RFP- 05-24-03-LH l CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS CENTRAL WINDS PARK MASTER PLAN UPDATE SERVICES PERRY HARVEY PARK >Tampa, FL Kimley-Horn provided design services for the renovation of Perry Harvey Park.

We consider all political, economic, legal, and other issues impacting Florida municipalities, delivering solutions that are both compliant and innovative. Our expertise allows us to anticipate and stay ahead of emerging trends, providing sustainable and forward-thinking designs. Politically, aligning the project with the City commission’s priorities, such as enhancing recreational facilities and promoting environmental sustainability, will be important. Securing strong community support through public meetings and surveys can ensure that the park meets local needs and gains widespread approval. AT KIMLEY-HORN, OUR DEDICATED TEAM SPECIALIZES IN PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT, RECOGNIZING ITS CRITICAL IMPORTANCE IN MUNICIPAL PROJECTS. Economically, the feasibility of the project will depend on Winter Springs’ budget constraints and broader economic development goals. Central Winds Park can significantly contribute to these goals by attracting visitors and increasing local property values. Funding strategies could include local government allocations, grants, and partnerships with local businesses. Grants Specialist, Heather Glisson, AICP, has been added to this project team to ensure we can assist the City in obtaining grant funds and bringing your vision to life.

Additionally, given the park’s proximity to Lake Jesup, adherence to environmental regulations is critical. This includes managing stormwater runoff to prevent pollution in the lake and protecting local wildlife habitats, as Lake Jesup is home to diverse flora and fauna. Sarah Johnson, CE has over 20 years of experience providing environmental services for projects similar in scope. Sustainable design practices, such as using permeable materials for pathways to reduce runoff and incorporating native plants to support local biodiversity, are essential. Mitigating flood risks through proper landscape planning will also be necessary due to the park’s lakeside location. By addressing these political, economic, legal, and environmental factors and leveraging the unique features of Central Winds Park, this project can effectively serve the residents of Winter Springs and continue to be a cherished community asset. 352 LPER33014.2024 23RFP- 05-24-03-LH l CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS CENTRAL WINDS PARK MASTER PLAN UPDATE SERVICES REFERENCE INFORMATION FORM CENTRAL WINDS PARK MASTER PLAN UPDATE SERVICES RFP 05-24-03 LH Organization: City of Cape Canaveral contact Person: Tim Carlisle, Capital Projects Deputy Director Address: 100 Polk Ave, P.O.

We are confident that our rigorous procedures will ensure the delivery of high-quality services that meet the needs of our clients. Quality is a fundamental principle that has propelled us to become one of the leading consulting firms in the country. Our commitment to frequent communication and thorough QC/QA reviews will alleviate any significant project review efforts for City staff. To ensure top-quality deliverables on a project, it is important to conduct a QC/QA review of project solutions and analysis. Kimley-Horn has developed a formal in-house program for complete quality management, which can be summarized in the following steps: Develop Detailed Work Plan. The work plan will be developed in collaboration with the City to establish the key tasks, assign staff members responsible for completing them, determine the time required for each task, designate the quality control review staff, and outline the schedule for achieving specific report deadlines and other critical project goals. Assign QC/QA Responsibility and Conducting Peer Reviews. Due to the nature of this project, we expect that multiple tasks will be assigned, allowing for early planning and implementation. Our approach to quality control and quality assurance involves utilizing our technical advisors for internal reviews. Additionally, we employ a peer review process to ensure thorough examination, evaluation, and oversight of grant activities. The peer reviews are conducted by individuals who are not directly responsible for performing the tasks. Perform Meticulous Project Documentation Review. To ensure compliance with government agency audits, it is essential to have appropriate data and documents that outline the choices evaluated and the basis for recommendations. This is particularly important in grant management, and both the project manager and the QC/QA manager are fully aware of the need for thorough project documentation to avoid any issues with audits. Final Project Manager Endorsement. The project manager will assess each task assignment to ensure clarity, accuracy, completeness, and adherence to the project’s scope. ACHIEVED Through adequate planning, coordination, supervision, and technical direction CONTROLLED By assigning task managers to evaluate all work flow and procedures VERIFIED Through independent reviews by qualified staff Kimley-Horn Quality Control Is SECURED Through careful quality control of work activities by parties not involved in the initial efforts 1. 2. 3. 4. 357 LPER33014.2024 28RFP- 05-24-03-LH l CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS CENTRAL WINDS PARK MASTER PLAN UPDATE SERVICES OUR SBE, MBE, AND/OR WBE COMMITMENTS Kimley-Horn is committed to engaging the services of small business enterprise firms whenever possible on a project.

This collaborative mindset has resulted in some exceptional projects that have had tremendous impacts on the community. Hi! We’re Dix.Hite, and we Design for Life. What exactly does that mean? Well, to us, Designing for Life isn’t just what we do - it’s who we are, it’s how we think, it’s why we do what we do. When we design, we are driven by how our ability to tell the stories of the land will impact the life of a space’s end users. It means that we design for life experiences. It means that we keep native ecosystems top of mind in our design work. It means that our employees pour their all into their work, thus enhancing their own lives and the lives of those who interact with the spaces they design. 413 1312 Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services | QualificationsDix.Hite + PartnersQualifications | Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services Dix.Hite + Partners Proposer Experience Dix.Hite + Partners has provided master planning, parks planning, and landscape architectural services via continuing services contracts and stand alone projects to local communities like Winter Springs including: • City of Lake Mary, FL • City of Oviedo, FL • City of Longwood, FL • City of Sanford, FL • Seminole County, FL • City of Winter Park, FL • City of Oakland, FL • Orange County, FL • City of Groveland, FL • City of Tampa, FL • City of Clearwater, FL • City of Jacksonville Beach, FL • Lake Nona, FL • Celebration, FL • City of Maitland, FL • City of Albertville, Alabama • Starkey Ranch, FL • City of Jacksonville, FL • City of Daytona Beach, FL • FDOT District 5 • FDOT District 1 Except, to be honest, parks planning and design are our all-time favorite projects. Don’t tell our other clients, but parks bring us the most joy because the impact they have on their communities is unparalleled. We design parks alongside the community, incorporating the elements that they specifically desire, to create parks that we are proud of and that we know the community will be proud of. When we go back and see how people are enjoying our park designs we feel a huge sense of fulfillment and purpose. We also learn a lot and we take note of how people are truly using spaces that we’ve designed. Sometimes it’s in unexpected ways like the concrete benches at Crest Lake Park that are used as balancing beams for kids, or the picnic tables at Reiter Park that get moved together to form one big table for celebrations. Sometimes we see that wildlife has disturbed certain areas that we did not predict or that certain plants did not do well in their condition. We have learned and applied these lessons to each subsequent park design and planning project including system wide parks & recreation master plans. Within the past ten years our team has successfully designed and implemented the following community parks: • Center Lake Park, Oviedo, FL • Solary Park, Oviedo, FL • Reiter Park, Longwood, FL • Crest Lake Park, Clearwater, FL • Sand Mountain Park, Albertville, AL • Coastal Oaks Preserve, Vero Beach, FL • Homestead Park, Odessa, FL • Cunningham Park, Odessa, FL • Whitfield Park, Odessa, FL • Albritton Park, Odessa, FL • Lake Nona GreenLink Park, Orlando, FL • Laureate Park, Orlando, FL • Latham Plaza, Jax Beach, FL • Daytona Beach Esplanade, Daytona Beach, FL • Young Pine Park, Orlando, FL • Hamlin West Park, Orange County, FL • Outdoor Activity Center, Atlanta, GA • Artisan Park & Memorial Garden, Celebration, FL • Pierhouse Park, Tampa, FL • AIDS Memorial Park, Tampa, FL • Pinchgut Park & Preserve, Trussville, AL • MLK Park, Winter Park, FL • Howell Branch Preserve, Winter Park, FL • North Athens Stormwater Park, Athens, GA • Crystal Garden Stormwater Park, Lake Mary, FL Parks & Recreation Master Plan and Park Design & Implementation Our team approaches parks and recreation master planning and park design with the same unwavering passion we put into all our projects. Crest Lake Park, Clearwater, FL Solary Park, Oviedo, FL Reiter Park, Longwood, FL The parks at Starkey Ranch compose a cohesive series of four context-sensitive open spaces, honoring the land’s history, connecting people to nature, and creating a sense of place. Quality Control Quality is important to Dix.Hite because we value our clients, we are dedicated to public health, safety, and welfare, and we are committed to protecting the land and its resources. We strive to provide our clients with services which meet or exceed their expectations. We are committed to continuous improvement and have established a Quality Management System which provides a framework for measuring and improving our performance. The Quality Assurance process, comprised of standard Quality Control (QC) procedures, is applied to all project scope mandated deliverables including plans, specifications, computations, studies, and reports. Supporting documentation such as calculations, cost estimates, and permit documents follow these standard QC procedures. Cost Control/Scheduling Dix.Hite takes pride in our ability to closely monitor and adhere to any fee and budget requirements or constraints on a project. Over the years, and due to ongoing experience with heavily regulated projects with public agencies such as the Florida Department of Transportation, including SunRail, and Florida Turnpike Enterprise (FTE), and working alongside municipalities such as Oviedo, Clearwater, Winter Park, and Longwood, Dix.Hite has developed effective systems to ensure accurate cost accounting, quality and management control, budget tracking, and other compliance issues. In order to assure that the budget is not exceeded, the negotiated contract fee and associated hours is entered into the accounting system with not-to-exceed limits. We believe that controlling costs starts at the very beginning of the project and we continually monitor costs throughout the design and construction process. Dix.Hite will work closely with Suwanee County Parks and Recreation to clearly define the scope of services for each task, and the time requirements, including meetings and site visits, in order to come up with a fee and schedule that is realistic and acceptable by both parties. As project manager and point of contact, Dix.Hite will be responsible for relaying pertinent information and coordinating deliverables pertaining to fee and schedule with any sub-consultants. Diagrams from Crest Lake Park Master Planning Phase When designing parks, we know budget is always a critical issue. We want the very best park we can get for a specific amount of money and we want it to last a lifetime. It’s a tall order, but our team has a great strategy to meet the needs of communities while staying within budget. During the master planning phase we will identify areas of the park that we consider High, Medium, or Low intensity zones. High Intensity - zones with abundant programming such as splash pads or playgrounds, higher maintenance plantings, structures, and hardscape. These are the areas that we anticipate will have the most use and will require the most budget and the most maintenance. Medium Intensity - zones with a medium level of programming such as walking trails, seating areas, rain gardens, medium-level maintenance plantings, small structures or furniture, and some hardscape. These areas will have a lower amount of heavy use compared to the High Intensity zone, but more-so than the Low Intensity zone. These are mostly passive areas of the park and need to be maintained, but not as stringently as the High Intensity zones. Low Intensity - zones with a low level of programming such as open fields, preserved land, forested areas, or open water. These areas require little maintenance and less budget during construction. Our experience as parks designs ties directly into our parks planning expertise. We recognize that a parks and recreation system must be tailored to the community it serves and its challenges and aspirations. Some elements under consideration for parks systems beyond recreational facilities include: strengthening adjacent property values, improving the health and wellbeing of local residents, improving environmental and community resilience especially related to the mitigation of extreme heat, flooding and other weather related disturbances, improving public safety, providing jobs through construction, operations and maintenance, and promoting tourism through access to natural areas and sporting competitions. Well- connected, effectively distributed and accessible parks with a variety of programming strengthens the overall community fabric. 414 1514 Other Information | Introduction LetterDix.Hite + PartnersOther Information | Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services Dix.Hite + Partners Stakeholder and Community Engagement Collaborative, insightful, and curious - who we are is how we work. At the outset of projects, the Dix.Hite team seeks input from the City staff, identified stakeholders and the public to understand their current and future needs and aspirations. We uncover the “why” of the project and identify common goals and potential solutions that will inform the design responses. Gathering background information and with input from the community through public and stakeholder engagement, the team will build on the Dream for the project by distilling City staff, stakeholder and public thoughts and ideas. The Dream can be elicited through a variety of tools where applicable, including kickoff meetings, stakeholder surveys, public meetings, workshops, or charrettes. Each remaining step of the design process is validated against the dream to ensure the final outcome meets the vision of the community. WHAT IF? TRAVELING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TOOL A picture is worth a thousand words and we’ve learned that using art to depict ideas can be an incredibly powerful tool when engaging with community members. With What IF we take it to the streets, literally, by setting up this traveling display showing images of an existing street as the base for a rendering depicting a more walkable, bike-able, and vibrant street. We engage residents and store owners to think about the street differently: they look through an empty frame to focus on the existing street, then toggle the rendering up into the frame, while they ponder, “What If?” They record their ideas in permanent marker on a piece of furniture - such as a chair - that becomes part of the traveling display. We learn so much from these interactions! The display and the feedback can be shared with city leaders to start conversations about the community’s vision for the street. WASHINGTON STREET PARK TAMPA, FLORIDA Dix.Hite is currently contracted to provide conceptual design, schematic design, and foster community vision through public engagement for the transformation of Washington Street Park, an existing .44 acres City of Tampa urban park located at the corner of 12th & Washington Street within the Channel District. The design will include an estimate of probable cost that will incorporated into a Design Criteria Package by the City to engage a design-build team as a subsequent project to ensure the community vision is realized through technical design, permitting and construction. The project team will provide information to and obtain input from Channel residents, stakeholders and government entities. The overall goal of this plan is to help ensure that the project reflects the values and needs of the communities it is designed to benefit and delivers programming that meets the estimated construction budget of $6M. The project includes site investigation & analysis, fun & creative workshops, survey and social media engagement, conceptual design, review meetings, schematic design and final design criteria package.

Its location at the terminus of Church Street and being accessible via the SunRail station make it a key destination for the City. Dix.Hite planned and designed new park elements, including an amphitheater and stage, event lawn, wet deck, restrooms, walking trail, boardwalk, healing/sensory garden, and playground expansion. All spaces are open-air and designed to accommodate a variety of activities and group sizes, and to offer something at all times of the year. Since its opening in Summer 2018 the park has hosted countless community events and celebrations such as food truck events, Easter egg hunts, and vintage car shows. It has truly become the heart of Historic Longwood. CLIENT: City of Longwood PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS: 6-acre Park. Amphitheater. Sensory Garden, Splash Pad DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. PARK WINTER PARK, FLORIDA The timeless principles of Love, Righteousness, Peace, Justice, Hope, and Dream are embodied and expressed throughout the park and offer opportunities for gathering, dialogue, and introspection. The engagement process with the community informed our programming and design implementation. The main goals for this park are to honor the history of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., implement amenities that speak to the current use of the site, preserve tree canopy for shade, create a habitat for wildlife, and encourage users to engage with water. The design includes a renovation to the beloved “Castle Playground” that provides play for a wide range of different abilities in a more naturalistic character. The design creates levels and systems for children to climb and play on while maintaining a castle character and incorporates water components and sensory play.

The trail weaves its way from Howell Branch Park, along the banks of Howell Creek to the edge of Lake Waumpi incorporating kayak and canoe launch points, overlooks, and creek crossings. Throughout, access points from adjacent neighborhoods provide connectivity to the community and schools. Other design tasks included wetland vegetation planning, and plantings, restoring the preserve to a high-quality urban wilderness. CLIENT: City of Winter Park PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS: Trail and Restoration Project SOLARY PARK OVIEDO, FLORIDA In lieu of a traditional stormwater retention pond, the City of Oviedo and Dix.Hite worked to create an innovative park that provides both recreational and educational opportunities while helping to improve local water quality. The trailhead provides connections to local and regional multi-use trails with shaded seating areas and bike facilities. A boardwalk and trail creates a loop around the pond, including a “Creekwalk” that meanders through a cypress grove along the restored Sweetwater Creek. Littoral zones within the pond and creek were carefully designed to provide habitat and treat water. Flexible lawn spaces create areas for the community to gather, play, and relax. The park includes rain gardens with educational signage to provide opportunities to teach users about the local water system.

Dix.Hite led the master planning effort, helping to establish an aesthetic unique to the city and developing a plan that integrates civic, residential, retail, and commercial uses within a walkable framework. The town plan includes Center Lake Park, the hub of community activity, featuring an amphitheater, dog-park, play area, concessions, splash pad, Veterans Memorial, and water activities to invite citizens to interact daily. Inspired by the agricultural history of Oviedo, Dix.Hite introduced native plant materials and bold sculptural patterns in the signage and hardscape to connect park goers to the cultural, historical, and natural environment.

Crest Lake itself acts as a retention pond, collecting stormwater from the surrounding neighborhoods. The team worked with an ecologist to develop strategies that would help improve the water quality with a series of rain gardens and lake edge treatments. Working with the park’s existing tree canopy, the plan places structures within existing open areas and enhances canopy areas with supplemental trees and plantings. The plan includes shade pavilions, boardwalks and dock overlooks, a splash pad, a nature-themed playground, an arboretum, and an update to the existing memorial. Dix. Hite worked closely with the City to provide the desired programming and function within a fixed budget. CLIENT: City of Clearwater PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS: Green Infrastructure; Pedestrian Plaza The 39-acre park had a $6.5 million budget, this led us to recommend that the City first establish a solid schematic design phase to evaluate potential challenges and opportunities. Following this, Dix.Hite supported the City in the RFP, interview, and selection process of a Construction Manager at Risk. This recommendation allowed the team to collaborate closely with the Contractor throughout documentation to create the best possible project given the tight budget and construction timeline. Our approach to Crest Lake Park focused budget allowances on high intensity zones such as play areas, water interaction and pathways. We were able to spread a tight budget across a larger scale park by spending less money in less frequented spaces such as underneath their beautiful existing oak canopy. We continued to be guided by priorities set and documented in community engagement process. With a total of 39 acres, 12 of which was lake surface, we prioritized $1M across four acres, $5/SF on nine acres and the remaining $1/SF on 14 acres, this project was delivered on time, on budget, exemplifying cost estimating accuracy while delivering programs and facilities the community desired. 419 2524 Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services | QualificationsDix.Hite + PartnersQualifications | Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services Dix.Hite + Partners COASTAL GATEWAY PARK GULF SHORES, ALABAMA Dix.Hite is leading a team including architects, civil engineers, economists, and others to develop the Master Plan for Coastal Gateway Community Park. Gulf Shores is a fast-growing community on the gulf coast of Alabama, where outdoor activity is a mainstay of the community lifestyle for all four seasons. To meet its residents’ evolving needs, the City is investing in a public space for all ages and abilities to gather for community events, learn about natural processes, and simply enjoy the outdoors. Sustainability is one of the foundations of the City’s Vision for 2030 and the park will put those values on display through green infrastructure, renewable energy and recycled materials. CLIENT: City of Gulf Shores PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS: Project Management, Master Planning, Visioning, Landscape Architecture SAND MOUNTAIN PARK & AMPHITHEATER ALBERTVILLE, ALABAMA CLIENT: City of Albertville PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS: 130-acres; $80 Million Park with 7 Playgrounds, Lazy River, Walking Trail, and Athletic Fields - Baseball, Softball, Tennis Sand Mountain Park provides family-friendly, public play spaces, live entertainment, and elite-level athletic facilities. Dix.Hite was the lead Landscape Architect and provided site planning, amenity design, and full landscape and hardscape design services for the park. Dix.Hite also designed the athletic field venues for softball, baseball, tennis, and adjacent multi-purpose facilities. The 130-acre site needed to accommodate an extensive program of athletic facilities for tournament use:16 tennis courts and 15 athletic fields, including a Miracle Field. It also needed to accommodate special events: a 8,000-person capacity amphitheater and RV camping. The design team was able to juxtapose these facilities with elements for daily use by the residents, local sports teams, and the overall community at large: a 100,000 square foot Multi-Purpose Event and Recreation Center, 4 miles of walking and multi-use paths, 7 playgrounds, a dog park, and an outdoor aquatics facility with pool, slide, splash pad, and lazy river. The design team developed three shared values of “Promoting Community Health”, “Park within the Park”, and “Stewardship of the Land” to accomplish this mission while also achieving the functional needs of economic development through sports and entertainment tourism. Dix.Hite led the charge on the “Park within the Park” value, a concept of treating each venue and destination within the park as a smaller park unto itself, providing a complete experience for all visitors, beyond just the players of the athletic teams. The concept played out in other ways to help organize the overall site plan and distribute users throughout the site, preventing the over concentration of use in a few areas. This concept was successfully implemented by including paces and elements of play and social gathering within the alleys of the ball fields and in the arrival plazas for each venue. The public reception of the park has been tremendous! The park hosted over 75 events in its first full year open (2021) including eight concerts, banquet and charity events, special events like Vintage Market Days of Alabama, MMA fights, and numerous other community focused events and sports tournaments. In 2023 alone, the park generated over $23 million in economic impact for the region’s local businesses, and the expectation is that future annual impacts to the region will be over $120 million, with 1,200 job opportunities providing a total labor income of $35 million. 420 Young Pine Park Orange County, Florida Client: Orange County Borrelli + Partners, Inc. was commissioned for architectural services by Orange County for the construction of a 3308SF Concessions, Storage, and Restroom facility at Young Pine Park.

It is widely known that the City of Winter Springs has a 50 year old waste water treatment system that needs to be updated. This and other important City infrastructure, maintenance and operational needs can impact the prioritization of program elements proposed in the Central Winds Park Master Plan update like the boardwalk and event center. These elements can be considered non- essential compared to other City infrastructure that are vital for health, safety, and well-being. The recent audit of the City stated that no criminality and no malfeasance with regards to the use of the penny sales tax. Though the City has been cleared of wrong-doing, media and public discussions indicate a climate of lack of trust by many citizens. This will require a park master planning process that is open, transparent, and proactive in building trust. It will also be important to keep the public informed of funding strategies and grants that are earmarked for use within parks like the Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program. Dix.Hite team members took a preliminary visit to the site to understand the community uses and needs of Central Winds Park. 431 REFERENCE 1: CITY OF OVIEDO OVIEDO ON THE PARK MASTER PLAN & CENTER LAKE PARK The City of Oviedo entered into a public-private partnership with a unified vision to create a walkable, mixed-use Town Center. Dix.Hite led the master planning effort, helping to establish an aesthetic unique to the city and developing a plan that integrates civic, residential, retail, and commercial uses within a walkable framework and associated park and open space. The town plan includes Center Lake Park, the hub of community activity, featuring an amphitheater, dog-park, play area, concessions, splash pad, Veterans Memorial, and water activities to invite citizens to interact daily. Inspired by the agricultural history of Oviedo, Dix.Hite introduced native plant materials and bold sculptural patterns in the signage and hardscape to connect park goers to the cultural, historical, and natural environment. Walkability and scale were integral to the planning approach, grounded in new urbanism.

We create a digital base data, conduct an inventory and analysis of the existing parks and recreation facilities. Prepare a level of service standard to determine the general size and location of proposed new parks and recreation facilities needed to accommodate anticipated growth. Engage with the local stakeholders and residents. DESIGN With the dream identified, existing parks and recreation conditions and opportunities understood, and input from the public gathered the design begins. Potential solutions are communicated through diagrammatic plans, reports, graphics or other deliverables that address programmatic and spatial relationships, while taking into account critical path permit issues, schedule, existing policies and budget parameters. DOCUMENT The design is advanced into framework plans. The team coordinates across disciplines to create one cohesive document that communicates park hierarchy, major system components, and community wide connectivity. In addition facility fit studies are prepared for each major system component to determine spatial requirements, vision, and character. DELIVER The Dix.Hite team is committed to implementation and provides services to help clients navigate bidding, permitting, and construction. We take great professional pride in being with clients from the initial visioning session all the way through ground breaking and grand opening. DISCUSS Critical to the success of the process, this step validates the options. The design team, client and stakeholders come back together to review the design solutions and collaborate on modifications. This step occurs continually throughout the process. Our Process Collaborative, insightful, and curious - who we are is how we work. We’re true believers in the power of the design process. To help clients meet their goals, we apply the “6D” approach: a transparent and scalable process that engages the entire design team in collectively identifying opportunities and constraints. These steps provide a framework for project management, ensuring that outcome matches the intent and that the results fulfill the vision. As details of the project are uncovered, we adapt our approach to meet specific goals, deliverables, and time frames. Dix.Hite team members hold the 6D method integral to the firm’s culture and creativity and have applied it successfully to numerous design projects. The name, “6D,” refers to the steps in the process: dream, discover, design, discuss, document and deliver. Each step of the way, progress is checked against the dream, helping ensure that the outcomes meet the intent and that the results fulfill the vision. DREAM At the outset of the project, the Dix.Hite team seeks input from the client and stakeholders to understand needs and aspirations. We uncover the unique “why” of the project and identify goals and solutions that will inform the design responses. Each remaining step of the 6D process is validated against the dream to ensure the final outcome meets the vision. 436 (F) Cost and Time 5958 City of Winter Springs Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services RFQ-05-24-03 LH 437 RFP # 05-24-03 LH MANDATORY FORM Appendix A COST PROPOSAL WORKSHEET The Proposerer hereby indicates the following total units and total prices which represent all materials, labor, equipment, transportation, performance of all operations relative to development and delivery of the project including, but not limited to, overhead, and costs of all kinds and profit to complete the work items in accordance with the Scope of Work, plans, and permits.

We create places that connect people from all walks of life and give them equal opportunities to make memories with their friends and families. We strive for diversity in the ecosystems we design in and in our practice. Dix.Hite was a women-owned company for more than 13 years before becoming employee owned in 2022. As a 100% employee-owned business with an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), all our employees gain ownership interest in the company in the form of shares of stock which provides them with a retirement benefit. We no longer have M/WBE certification because of our ESOP structure; however, our commitment to empowering diverse voices in our firm and in our communities remains strong. Our 32-member team is full of diverse voices – 56% are women and 22% are people of color. We team with M/WBE professionals as often as we can, whether we are required to or not. On this project we are committed to providing 26% of the overall project fee to our M/WBE certified team member, Borrelli + Partners, who will be providing architectural consulting services for this project. Our team is also composed of Earth Balance, a 100% employee-owned ESOP providing environmental consulting services. With our history and our collaborative spirit, we proactively seek SMWBE utilization.
