EXHIBIT A - SCOPE OF SERVICES
The project is divided into two phases following the major tasks set out in R.FQ403-04-022,
Addendum No.1, and discussions with the City of Miami. Following the two-phase work plan
outlined below, the 11 month work schedule is divided into the following:
Phase 1 - Master Plan, Schematic Design
Phase 2 - Design Development
An outline schedule follows:
Phase 1 - Master Plan, Schematic Design
7 months
4 months
Month 1 Master Plan — Kick -Off, Mobilization, Analysis progress
Month 2 Master Plan — Analysis Findings, Design Principles
Month 3 Master Plan — 50% Options, MMA, MMS&P siting options
Month 4 Master Plan — Agree preferred Option, commence Plan
Month 5 Master Plan — final Plan
Month 6 Schematic Design 50% package
Month 7 Schematic Design 100% package
Phase 2 - Design Development
Month 8 Design Development progress
Month 9 Design Development 70% package
Month 10 Design Development, Design Guidelines MMA, MMS&P
Month II Design Development 100% package
It is proposed that specific meeting dates and target deadlines are fixed in the Kick -Off
meeting.
Our services will be provided, in part, directly by us and, in part, by our sub consultants. We
will present a list of the sub consultants we intend to use for this project upon request by the
City.
General Conditions
The starting point for scope and program is RFQ #03-04-022 Master Plan for Bicentennial
Park "Museum Park Miami" and the Report Bicentennial Park Becoming Miami's Premier
Park, City of Miami, May 2001. The following general conditions have been drawn from
these and additional detailed assumptions as described in subsequent sections of this Exhibit A.
Our basic services ("Scope of Services"), as defined in this Exhibit A, and our compensation
for these services, as set forth in Exhibit B, are subject to the terms, conditions and assumptions
in this Exhibit A. Our services include only those to be provided by us, and not those of the
12
City or any third party. If these terms, conditions or assumptions change for reasons not caused
by us, and, as a result, we are required to perform additional services, we will be entitled to be
compensated for Additional Services in accordance with Exhibit B.
• Day-to-day administration will be through the City's Department of Planning or another
City section. As noted above, the City should assign a Project Manager as our day-to-day
point of contact. The necessary public steps needed to move from a vision to a detailed
master plan and developed design for the park will be administered and managed by the
Department.
• The City will approve an outline written Park Program of Requirements for the Park in the
Master Plan, Analysis phase. The program direction is fixed and that final definition of the
program will occur in a working session with the City in the context of which the program
will be agreed.
• The RFQ calls for planning and design development of 'compatible Park amenities for
visitors'. The vision plan calls for up to four structures: a Community Hall, a Restaurant, a
Pavilion, and a Public Overlook. For the purposes of this proposal, the following program
assumptions have been made as regards the level of program and building complexity:
o Community Hall: partially enclosed 1-story, 5,000-6,000 gsf structure, housing
public uses such as public toilets, information boards, minor storage, equipment
hire, ticket concessions office, etc.
o Restaurant: 1-story, approximately 5,000 gsf, enclosed structure; the kitchen is
assumed to be designed by others during project implementation.
o Pavilion: 1 story open structure, approximately 4,000-5,000 gsf
o Public Overlook: l story, open structure, approximately 1,000-2,000 gsf
As part of the confirmation of the Park Program of Requirements, the City will need to
determine which if any of these park structures are retained.
• Preliminary program information for MAM and MMS&P sufficient to commence site
planning will be provided during the Master Plan/Schematic Design, Analysis phase. This
information will be developed during analysis and evaluation sessions with the individual
museums as led by CRP and will set out operational and area assumptions to full build out
- even if a phased building program is anticipated for the museums -, collection strategies,
educational programs, service requirements, and outdoor program areas. Additional
program detail would be required at the beginning of the design guidelines phase.
• The sites identified for MAM and MMS&P will be designed as interim landscapes in this
phase assuming their phased implementation so that the site works as a whole from the
opening of the Park.
• There is to be no building development around the FEC Slip.
• The transient yacht and mega -yacht marina considered for the north-east comer of the park
in the "Bicentennial Park" report is not part of the program.
• No structured above or below ground parking is to be considered for the park.
• Parking generation for the site will be analyzed in the phase one. Parking generation from
the museum sites is to be assessed in relation to their program and intemal access and
service road capacity and only be considered to a master plan level within the museum
sites.
• The City of Miami will provide to the consultant team courier and express delivery
services.
• The City of Miami will provide to the consultant team reproduction services including
printing, scanning, and plotting suitable for large -format, color, high resolution (600dpi)
plots.
Process
The Bicentennial Park Charrette established a sound beginning from which the next phase of
planning, design, and development efforts can proceed in the creation of Museum Park Miami.
The City will assign an experienced City Project Manager to the project to ensure day-to-day
administration, To ensure an efficient, comprehensive, but not overly -burdened process, and in
order to meet the schedule, a three -tiered approach for interfacing with institutions, agencies,
and the public will be adopted as established by the City.
Policy Makers
At one tier, we recommend establishing a policy making committee composed of decision
makers from the affected agencies and institutions. This body will serve as the `Client' and
should include director -level representation with decision -making responsibility from the key
public stakeholders in the project, including City agencies, Miami Art Museum (MAM), Miami
Museum of Science & Planetarium (MMS&P), and Miami Dade County.
Presentations/work sessions will be held with this committee throughout the project with a key
focus in the Master Plan/Schematic Design phase in setting project direction and reviewing and
agreeing on design 'options. If required, and in order to minimize travel time and costs,
presentations to the City Commission are assumed to occur on days already scheduled for
meeting with the Policy Makers.
Technical Working Group
Technical advice will be coordinated through a technical working group established as the
second tier with representatives from the affected public entities directly responsible for the
approval, implementation, and ongoing operation of Museum Park Miami.
From preliminary discussions with the City, we understand this group will likely include the
following Departments: Planning, Pubic Works, Transportation and CIP, Parks; and Boards:
City Commission, Waterfront Advisory, Parks Advisory, PAB, WASA, Community
Redevelopment Agency, Downtown Development Agency.
This group will have a role throughout the project: in the Master Plan/Schematic Design phase
identifying issues, commenting on options, reviewing and commenting on physical design in
the Design Development phase, regulatory, operational, and maintenance issues. The Technical
Working Group should be composed of senior representatives from the affected entities and
must be individuals with the ability to make decisions in the context of working meetings with
the consultant team.
We will meet with this group on five occasions: twice in the Master Plan/Schematic Design
phase (stakeholder interviews, options review as part of Public Meeting #2), once in the
Schematic Design phase and twice in the Design Development phase.

is
Community Involvement
ie Bicentennial Park Charrette provided the substantive context for community comment and
Tlaction to ideas for changes to this important place. It established the program direction for the
reiblic park appropriate to initiate the current master plan and design efforts to redevelop
pucentennial Park as a cultural park. Subsequent community meetings should focus on moving
Biun the program elements fixed in that earlier process to design principles to guide physical
frcrnning and design. RFP Addendum No. 1 (1/26/04) suggested there be up to three community
ply etings. We will work with the City to determine the appropriate timing for these meetings,
m ft as a first approach we suggest they occur during Phase I at the end of the analysis and master
burn phases and at the end of Schematic Design. It would also be appropriate and we have
plowed to meet with the community in the Design Development phase.

1.1: Master Plan
To ensure the project meets the schedule, the Master Plan phase will need to be
complete in the first five months. In this phase we establish a plan to guide the
subsequent schematic design and design development efforts. By early reviewing key
issues and design problems, and reaching consensus with public entities and the public
at large on key physical design principles, the subsequent design phases and museum
guidelines can proceed. Work will proceed in the context of an understanding of flood
zones and FEMA regulations.

consultation with the museums. We will continue to review governance/operational
structures.
The economic study will continue with an evaluation of park activities consistent with the
principles and vision articulated in the master plan to determine their feasibility in the
Miami marketplace. Based upon the uses identified above, we will examine the economic
performance of comparable activities in similar contexts and estimate the net revenue
potential for each viable activity. Scenarios will be developed that allow the City to weigh
trade-offs (if any) between revenue production and other programming priorities, i.e.
17
cultural and recreational uses. One scenario might emphasize commercial activities, for
example, while another might give preference to community needs as expressed in public
meetings. Program options for the restaurant will be considered.
Water color renderings of the overall plan and one or two key elements will be prepared
at the end of this sub phase to illustrate the design intent.
A schematic level cost estimate of the park and infrastructure improvements will be
prepared. The estimate will exclude the MAM and MMS&P buildings as well as
improvements proposed outside of the project boundary as part of the Biscayne
Boulevard Sidewalk Widening Project.
Other tasks include:
• Design Team Work Session: refine preferred option based on public meeting,
stakeholder comments, museum needs, and economic analysis.
• Prepare Schematic Design package.
• Transportation/parking: develop off -site roadway/access/pedestrian lanes that meet
local agency standards; develop schematics for intemal roadway system and access
points; develop modifications to the existing and proposed transportation system to
support the project.
• Update and refine parking master plan concepts.
• Marine engineering: schematic design sketches.
• Develop proposed enhancements to Dade county pump station and its setting.
• Water plan, including and proposed modifications to the FEC Slip and bayfront.
• We will move from site planning to the preparation of urban design guidelines for
MAM and MMS&P in consultation with the museums. The guidelines will include the
following: parcel boundary, landscape zone, allowable building zone, easement/service,
entries, build -to lines as appropriate, heights.
• Review governance/operational scenarios taking into account roles and responsibilities
of the City, MAM, MMS&P, and Miami Dade County.
• Refine Schematic design drawings
• Finalize Schematic Design Package.
• Schematic design cost estimate.
• Water color renderings: overall master plan, vignette(s) of one or two key design
elements.
• Approve Schematic Design.
Deliverables
Schematic Design drawings and cost estimates. Drawings, studies and sketches at various scales
(in Auto CAD 2004 or hand drawn on yellow trace utilizing CAD base drawings when
appropriate). Hand sketches will be scanned and models will be photographed; all products will
be provided digitally. The physical study model will be used to study the evolving park design
and bulk alternatives for the museums.

Phase 2 - Design Development
governance,
In the second phase, we will prepare design development documents based on the
approved schematic design. We will finalize urban design guidelines for MAM and
MMS&P.
Infrastructure planning - including site grading and drainage, emergency power
services, utilities, and event infrastructure - will be coordinated with the developed
design.
We will finalize review of the revenue generating opportunities in the park based on the
approved schematic design with the following steps: Testing of Programming Scenarios
Against Operating Costs for Park: Revenue estimates will be developed for each
scenario and measured against estimated operating costs for the park. This exercise will
allow the city to evaluate the cost implications of a particular set of park uses and
implications for the operating gap (i.e. subsidy required); Memorandum on Preferred
Program and Revenue Projections: Based upon responses to the various scenarios and
their economic implications, We will refine a preferred program of uses for the park
along with an estimate of the range of likely revenue and the likely operating gap. We
will complete a memorandum giving the conclusions of its economic analysis,
presenting a preferred program and recommending strategies for addressing any
anticipated funding gaps in park operations.
In the context of a refined understanding of the park design and the master plan, we will
finalize general recommendations for the ongoing governance of the park in the context
of the developed plan.
Developed designs and a design development level cost estimate for the park will be
prepared.
An implernentation memorandum will be prepared summarizing the next key steps in
the transformation of Bicentennial Park into Museum Park Miami.
Tasks include:
• Prepare design development drawings for internal roadways and access points.; Coordinate
with public agencies on Biscayne Boulevard issues, proposed off -site traffic modifications,
access issues on Biscayne Boulevard issues, proposed off -site traffic analyses.
• Prepare and review preliminary permit sketches illustrating proposed shoreline and/or
marine works; Preliminary regulatory agency consultation meetings for in -water elements.
• Finalize recommendations on governance.
• Finalize recommendations resulting from economic study of revenue generating
opportunities within the park.
• Finalize urban design guidelines for MAM and MMS&P in consultation with museums.
• Prepare implementation memorandum.
• Water color renderings of one or two key elements.
• Prepare design development cost estimate.
• Design Development approval.
