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. 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 City of Atlanta Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan, Atlanta, GA Clay County Parks and Recreation Master Plan Chattanooga Tennessee Parks Master Plan, Chattanooga Fernandina Beach Parks Master Planning, Fernandina Beach Lake Alfred Parks and Recreation Master Plan, Lake Alfred North Miami Beach Parks and Recreation Master Plan, North Miami Beach Tavares Parks and Recreation Master Plan, Tavares 27th Avenue Park, New Smyrna Beach Atwater Community Park, North Port Austin Tindal Regional Park, Osceola County Belle Terre Park, Palm Coast Bennett Park, Volusia County Birthplace of Speed Park, Ormond Beach Blue Cypress Pool Design, Jacksonville Child’s Park, Mt.

Organizational Chart 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. This system of public places touches every neighborhood, corridor, main street, and activity center in the City. A well-conceived updated park Master Plan for Central Winds Park can help realize the objectives of many constituents, because each investment provides multiple benefits. The City is seeking to undertake a plan update in this RFP and this effort is a testament to your understanding of the importance of a robust and well-connected series of park amenities accessible to all residents. An updated plan for Central Winds Park can be a response to the national dialogue about critical societal issues that are directly affected in the Public Realm, including Healthy Lifestyles, Youth Activity, Age-Friendly Communities, Environmental Stewardships, Livable Cities, Safe Neighborhoods, Buy Local, and so many others. What each of these topics has in common is a clearly stated linkage to a strong public realm with local access to trails, parks, civic buildings, and community programs that respond directly to local needs and shared objectives. Eatonville CRA Master Plan | Eatonville, FL gaiconsultants.com/communitysolutionsgroup RFP- 05-24-03 LH • Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services • City of Winter Springs 15 CSG’s master planning, urban design, and landscape architecture practice focuses on crafting plans that create livable places of lasting value for communities that reflect their local setting and require sustainable solutions. We prioritize close collaboration with clients through an approach that emphasizes plans that reflect strong neighborhoods, livable transportation networks, interconnected park and open space systems, environmental sensitivity, and economic opportunities. Through work at the scale of city, neighborhood, and street, our plans create the framework for rich, interactive settings that bring people together in environments that facilitate meaningful experiences that enrich lives. Our team draws upon expertise in multiple disciplines to balance physical, social, environmental, and economic needs and create urban places that enhance quality of life. We understand that each building, streetscape, transportation corridor, and park works toward creating a place that transcends the value of any individual element. Our planners, landscape architects, and engineers work closely with clients to ensure that each piece of a place is deliberately planned and designed with quality and respect for its role in the public realm. We have in-house ecologists and environmental specialists who identify rare and sensitive habitats and species so that they can be integrated into the configuration of both the physical and educational elements of the design. With an eye toward implementation, we also understand the complex regulatory processes that must be navigated to gain approval for these great community plans. 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 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.

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 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: A 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 gaiconsultants.com/communitysolutionsgroup RFP- 05-24-03 LH • Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services • City of Winter Springs 23 The net gain of economic flow into the community – Simply put, creating the business and industry activity in excess of local consumption needs. Measured 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: Project due diligence Market due diligence Identifying 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.

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: Multi-Use Walking Trails Picnic Opportunities Nature-theme Play and Obstacle Course Native Plant Garden Observation Tower Educational Signage Limited Camping Opportunities Fishing Pier Open Beach Slash Pad Kayak/Boat Rental Options Dog Park Restrooms Disc 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.

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. 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) 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. 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) 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.

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.

We will also look at issues and factors requiring special consideration, including overview summaries from the various City Departments relevant to this project. Following 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. Based 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 CSG 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. Research existing published literature and available documents pertinent to the project area’s natural and cultural resources. 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 Research 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 Conduct 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. Prepare a Natural Resources Assessment Report outlining the findings of the on-site field investigation. Included will be a discussion of the existing site conditions, a summary of those regulatory agencies with potential jurisdiction over portions of the site, and any opportunities and/or constraints posed by the presence of wetlands and threatened and endangered species, or species of special concern. Also included will be a land use map utilizing the Florida Land Use, Cover and Forms Classification System (FLUCCS) depicting the approximate land use limits for the project site based on observed conditions. Site Assessment During this phase of work, CSG will visit the site up to two (2) times to document these conditions and to document existing conditions of the park’s facilities and amenities. CSG will provide a graphic representation of the site issues and opportunities on an aerial exhibit, considering the items listed above. CSG will prepare a summary for the park that provides GAI Consultants, Inc.68 RFP- 05-24-03 LH • Central Winds Park Master Plan Update Services • City of Winter Springs an overview of the issues identified above. The summary will provide an overview of the site conditions and opportunities for improvements. CSG will meet with the City to review the site issues and opportunities and prepare for Task 2. Task 1 Deliverables: Site issues and opportunities Exhibit Summary of Feasibility Assessments, Natural Resources Assessment, and Site Assessments Program Statement TASK 2 – EXPLORING: CONCEPT PLANS Concept Plan Development Based on input received from City staff and PRAC, program statement and the issues and opportunities report, CSG will prepare two preliminary black and white concept plans for the park site to include the following items: 3.Transportation Map CSG will map existing vehicular and nonmotorized transportation assets including streets, trails, and walkways. This map will be a base for proposed vehicular and bicycle & pedestrian circulation improvements that increase access and connectivity to Central Winds Park and the park’s amenities. 4.Lighting Map CSG will map existing site light and provide a draft lighting opportunities plan. This task does not include photometric analysis of existing or proposed lighting conditions. 5.Landscape Map CSG will provide a draft landscape site plan informed by the site understanding and site program developed through Task 1. 6.Signage Plan CSG will prepare a signage plan based on the site inventory from Task 1, and aligns with the proposed strategic plan and transportation improvements, that will enhance wayfinding, accessibility, and education about the park. Following this, the project team will meet with the City review to review park programming and concepts. We will make a set of revisions prior to the community workshop. Community Workshop CSG will conduct and provide staffing for a single community workshop to review programmatic opportunities and the concept plans to coincide with a special event at the park arranged by the City. Task 2 Deliverables: Preliminary Concept Plans Public Engagement Summary TASK 3 – THE VISION: FINAL MASTER PLAN 7.Strategic Plan CSG will generate an implementation strategy for the five- and ten-year horizons. The strategy will include identified improvement projects with probable costs. Note: Construction costs are volatile and unpredictable. CSG will do their best to provide planning level estimates per phase for budgeting purposes but makes no guarantee of pricing when the project moves into construction. The Master plan will also include a section on potential funding sources, whether municipal capital funds, State & Federal grants, or other sources. 8.Narrative CSG will develop plan narrative sections on the following items: The benefits of adding a boardwalk to Central Winds Park’s shore line (RFP Task 1.0) The history and growth of the park as it relates to environmentally sensitive areas, habitats, and tree species (RFP Task 2.0).
