Please note the contents herein and affix same to the documents you have on hand. All attachments (if any) are available on the Office of Capital improvements' website and are part of this Addendum. A. The following are inquiries received and the corresponding responses: Q1. Given the volume of forms required can a 3 -ring hinder be used? Al. The original must be unbound. A three ring binder can be used for all copies, however the Proposer must identify which of the binders hold the original. Q2. The provided form RFQ-QT (specifically page 2) for key personnel is not big enough to include all key personnel. The form does not state whether an additional page is allowed. Can this form be duplicated so all key personnel can be included? A2. Yes. 03. Can the City please provide clarification on the extent of the environmental services required and the expected role of the environmental specialist? A3. Given the past industrial history of Wynwood, it is critical for this area to be assets for environmental impacts on soil and water and what impacts these may have on future landscape improvements proposed. A specialist should be experienced in this field and have experience in industrial abatement matters. This role will provide a report of environmental impacts that may exist and what remediation efforts should take place to improve the situation. Q4. In Addendum #3, Answer #5. the answer was, "Yes, Urban Designer or Landscape Architect can qualify." However, an Urban Designer is not regulated by Florida Statute 471. Please clarify if the Project Manager's Qualifications are subject to Florida Statute 471 for a minimum period of three years. If Project Manager is not subject to F.S. 471, should at least one Key Member of the team be required to meet the requirements of F.S. 471 for at least three years as a landscape architect since this is advertised as a landscape architecture project? A4, If the Urban Designer has a background in Architecture or Landscape Architecture they will need to meet provisions of F.S. 471. If not, I don't think they need too. Other members of the team are requested to be a landscape architect and architect should meet provisions of F.S. 471. Q5. Could you please provide clarification on the type of environmental specialist being sought by the City for this bid. We read through the scope and didn't find much other than a reference to environmental site analysis. A5. See response to Q3. THIS ADDENDUM IS AN ESSENTIAL PORTION OF THE RFQ AND SHALL BE MADE A PART THEREOF. ,1 ' tv'' nie Perez, CPPD, Director City of Miami Department of Procurement ADDENDUM NO, 4 July 12, 2017 REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS (RFQ) NO.: 16-17-044 WYNY/OOD WOONERF STREETSCAPE AND TREE SCAPE MASTER PLAN TO: ALL PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS: The following changes, additions, clarifications, and/or deletions amend the above -captioned Request for Proposals and shall become an integral part of the Proposals submitted and the Wynwood Streetscape and Street Tree blaster Plan — Request for Proposals No.: 15-16-044 (the "Project).

The current character of the Neighborhood is demarcated, traversed, and connected by atypical black compositions and narrow Right -of -Ways (ROWS) attributed to the Industrial past. The Neighbonccod's predominately zoned fifty foot (50') ROW combined with a high percentage of noncon- forming parceis makes it a challenge to balance feasible Development and an adequate pedestrian environment. The NRD-1 Street Master Plan will create a series of ROWs, establish appropriate Setback areas and ideal sidewalk conditions to promote pedestrian activity forthe future of theWynwood District. ROWtypes have been established by the City's Planning and Zoning Department and Public Works Department, and applied to Wynwood's Thoroughfare networkk based on ROW width and conditions, as identified on the NRD-1 Street Master Plan Map. The NRD-1 Street Master Plan will also serve as an organizing principle for a NRD-1 Street Tree Master Plan. a. NRD-1 Street Hierarchy The NRD-1 Street Master Plan acknowledges the relative importance of several significant Corridors, known as Wynwood Corridors and NRD-1 Corridors. Due to their importance, these Corridors are given established setback provisions that are different from that of the underlying Transect Zone. Wynwood Corridors • NW 29 Street • NW 20 Street NRD-1 Corridors • NW 2 Avenue • NW 5 Avenue Wynwood Thoroughfares • All other street ROWS within NRD-1 that are not specified as Corridors above. b. NRD-1 Setbacks: 1, Wynwood Thoroughfares: Principal and Secondary Frontage Setback is five (5) feet. 2. Wynwood Corridors: Principal and Secondary Frontage Setback is ten (10) feet. 3. NRD-1 Corridors: Principal Frontage Setback is zero (0) feet. c. Alternative Rights -of -Way Alternative ROW sections have been created for thoroughfares between fifty (50) and one hundred (100) feet in width. A woonerf has also been provided as an alternative ROW type, and applied to several locations throughout the NRD-1. The application of these Alternative ROW conditions can be seen in Section 8.2, J 32 MIAMI 21 OCTOBER 2416 d. NRD-1 Street Tree Master Plan Street Tree Contribution: APPENDIX J: NEIGHBORHOOD REVITALIZATION DISTRICTS For street tree improvements along Wynwood Thoroughfares and Wynwood/NRD Corridor, the applicant shall provide street trees pursuant to Street Tree Master Plan or provide a cash contribution into the Wynwood Public Benefit Trust Fund for the sum of three thousand dol- lars ($3,000.00) for each street tree required along a corridor Frontage.
