INTRODUCTION
The City of Miami is seeking a multidisciplinary team of consultants with demonstrated experience
in waterfront landscape architecture and urban design to submit a Response to this Request for
Qualifications for the Museum Park Master Plan for Bicentennial Park. The Museum Park is the
center of a major urban revitalization of downtown Miami.
The City of Miami envisions a Museum Park that emphasizes human scale, public open
spaces, and connectivity for the pedestrian realm through the creation of waterfront
promenades, diverse open spaces, an active Biscayne Boulevard frontage, waterfront
amenities and tree -Lined pathways that will enhance the cultural, and recreational elements

PROJECT LOCATION
The project site is located in Downtown Miami just south of the I-395 expressway and east
of Biscayne Boulevard. The park consists of a total of approximately 30 + acres of City
owned upland. It includes approximately 2,600 feet of Biscayne Baywalk and FEC (Florida
East Coast Railway) slip walkway with views of downtown Miami, the Port of Miami and
Watson Island.
Downtown Miami is the largest commercial and retail district in South Florida. It is estimated
that a daily population of 240,000 persons work, visit, attend school, or shop in downtown
Miami. Just south of downtown, opposite the Miami River, there is Brickell, a high density -
mixed -use district with office buildings, residential towers and entertainment centers.
7
Construction is underway for a new Performing Arts Center ("PAC") just opposite the
northern corner of Bicentennial Park. The Performing Arts Center is scheduled for
completion in 2006. Through the work of the Community Redevelopment Agency and the
Planning and Zoning Department, the area adjacent to the Performing Arts Center will be
transformed with media, arts, and entertainment related facilities within the district west of
Biscayne Boulevard.
The Port of Miami is a cargo and cruise passenger port located just east of downtown
Miami.
Along McArthur Causeway to the east is Miami Beach, an area internationally known for
its famous South Beach and historic "Art Deco District" features renovated historic hotels,
outdoor cafe dining and shopping.
Watson Island, north of the port includes destinations such as the newly opened Parrot
Jungle Island, Miami Children's Museum, and in development, Island Gardens and the
Watson Island Aviation Center.

SECTION II
2.0 RFQ SCOPE OF SERVICES
2.1 Background
The City held a "Bicentennial Park Charrette," and numerous public meetings regarding
the future of Bicentennial Park. The effort to redesign Bicentennial Park reflects a growing
public movement to preserve and enhance public parks in the City and was initiated by the
Urban Environment League (UEL) shortly before the community and City commissioners
engaged in public discussion with the Florida Marlin's owner to keep the baseball stadium
out of Bicentennial Park and reclaim it as South Florida's premier public park.
The Miami City Commission committed itself to the underutilized Park's revival on April
2, 2000 when it passed a resolution to renew Bicentennial Park as a "premier public park."
During that time, the Miami Museum of Science and the Miami Art Museum completed a
multi -year site and funding analysis for the development of new, world -class institutions at
Bicentennial Park. In July 2000, the trustees of both the Miami Art Museum and the
Miami Museum of Science adopted a joint resolution establishing the collaborative goal of
creating "Museum Park Miami" in Bicentennial Park.
The Miami City Commission created the advisory Bicentennial Park/Waterfront Renewal
Committee and, in conjunction with the City's Planning & Zoning Department, hired the
urban design firm Dover, Kohl and Partners (Dover Kohl) to propose three options for
the Park based on public input; the Bicentennial Park Charrette.
On February 10, 2001, more than 350 people showed their support and participated in the
day long charrette/public design workshop led by Dover Kohl.
Dover Kohl presented to City Commission the outcome of the Charrette; three
development options for the park that reflect the citizen's vision for public park land; one
of purely open space, a second as a cultural park with two museums and a third of mixed
uses including retail.
14
In preparation of Bicentennial Park's redevelopment as Museum Park, the City
Commission in October 2001 proposed a citywide referendum for the $255 million
Homeland Defense/Neighborhood Improvement Bond issue. The bond program
specifically includes $10 million for Bicentennial Park infrastructure improvements and
$3.5 million for each museum as a challenge grant for planning and pre -development costs.
The bond referendum was approved by City voters on November 13, 2001. The resolution
adopted on July 25, 2002 designates the City commission's choice of the third option, "A
Cultural Park" also known as Museum Park Miami as the official design development
option for Bicentennial Park.

The Charrette's Museum Park Miami master plan vision consists of outdoor exhibition
grounds with destinations inside the park. The museums sited along Biscayne Boulevard
on the western edge of the park frame the open space view of Biscayne Bay and provide a
civic, public facade to Biscayne Boulevard. The museums' service areas are hidden from
public view. Outdoor museum exhibits and grounds are adjacent to the museums and
located outside the open sight line between 10`h and 11 `h streets. The water's edge is
preserved as open space with unobstructed views. The vehicular access to the museums is
designed as narrow tree lined scenic drives. A central open space is maintained for a
multipurpose recreation/special events area.
Charrette Design Elements and Objectives
Elements of the Park:
• Trees, plaza, square within park, baywalk, water -related programming, landmarlc(s),
pedestrian activities, green open spaces of varying sizes for diverse uses, a large
open space for special events appropriate to a major museum park,
corridors/boulevards linking park to adjacent neighborhoods, points of interest,
fountains, sculpture garden, cultural, educational museum programming, water slip,
arboretum, future proposal to submerge I-395, mixed -use building along the FEC
slip, connection to arena and bayside via a continuous bay- walk.
The community will define success for the park as:
• Preservation of Bicentennial Park primarily as parkland with open views to the
water with emphasis along the FEC slip as well as the eastern most edge of the
park, people in the park, and the park seen as icon for Miami.
Objectives:
• Park as a neighborhood park and regional park; create visual and physical access to
the water, create improved pedestrian connections, connect park to existing
neighborhoods including neighborhoods along the Bay, use park day and night,
create a contextual space and instill a sense of place that captures the uniqueness of
Miami and South Florida.
City of Miami, Florida RFQ No. 03-04-022
Issues:
• Safety, access, human scale, use/user groups, adjacent neighborhood connections,
pump station, existing boundaries, financing/maintenance, limited parking for park
use.
Adjacent Neighborhoods:
■ Overtown Park West, Omni, Brickell, Downtown Central Business District.
Improvements in process and under consideration:
1. Biscayne Boulevard Sidewalk Widening Project:
• Honda Department of Transportation (FDOT) has been working with the Planning
and Zoning Department on the realignment of Biscayne Boulevard. The
development drawings of the project include a pedestrian friendly boulevard that
includes: wider sidewalks, a landscaped median, pedestrian crossings and on -street
parking on the west side of Biscayne Boulevard.
2. Submerge I-395:
• The Omni, Edgewater and Media Arts District is separated from the Downtown,
Southeast Overtown/Park West and Bicentennial Park area by a major east -west
expressway (I-395). Currently, options are being studied for plans to reinforce the
north -south linkages, including Biscayne Boulevard, N.E. 2"d Avenue, N.E. 1 '
Avenue, NW 1" Avenue, and North Miami Avenue. One option is to submerge
the major east -west expressway and bridge the north -south thoroughfares. To
reduce. the impact of the construction, the east -west expressway will also introduce
a new alignment to the north; thereby, increasing the size and defining a new
geometry for the north side of the park. New linkages and terminating vistas will
also be established for this section of the park.
3. Sea Wall Improvements
• The City has initiated environmental studies for the restoration of the north and
eastern bank of the FEC slip and eastern seawall along Biscayne Bay. The result of
the study is the proposed restoration of the seawall along Bicentennial Park. An
18
City of Miami, Florida RFO No. 03-04-022
RFP has been issued for the reconstruction of the sea wall and reconstruction
permits are being obtained from the necessary departments for their approval.
Project Purpose and Need
The City is committed to developing Bicentennial Park as a component of a complex, long-term
transformation and reclamation of southern Biscayne Boulevard into a cultural and entertainment
corridor, stimulating the community's economic and social vitality. Museum Park Miami must be•a
world -class art museum and a world -class science center. The goals of the redevelopment of
Museum Park Miami at Bicentennial Park are to:
• Restore the Park's waterfront land to public use and maintain long-term viability
• Help revitalize downtown Miami and its surrounding neighborhoods
• Build educational and cultural resources for the region
• Strengthen Greater Miami's tourism economy
• Create a world -class destination to attract residents and visitors of all ages
• Enhance pedestrian links and connections to adjacent neighborhoods.
2.2 Scope of Work
The selected team of consultants (aka "Successful Proposer") shall review all studies undertaken or
under development by the City of Miami and all other relevant studies for the site. The Successful
Proposer shall identify any constraints and opportunities, as well as prioritize recommendations for:
• Design development of vision and identity for "Museum Park Miami".
• Environmental issues with specific recommendations related to the County pump station,
sea wall improvement, or any other site located in Bicentennial Park.
• Planning including design guidelines for Park and Museums.
• Siting for museum buildings and related open spaces, including but not limited to building
footprint and outdoor prograrn rung space for each museum.
• Infrastructure planrung, including master site grading and drainage, including emergency
power services, flood zones and familiarity with FEMA regulations.
• Significant physical gateways to the Park and important view corridors (water view access
and visual access to both museums).
