The firm assessed the condition of existing waterfront structures such as seawalls and bridges, determined current and future uses of waterfront properties, and identified navigational constraints and environmental impacts. M&N participated in stakeholder meetings throughout the master planning phase. The firm then developed the final design and construction documents for the individual overwater walkways. M&N led permitting activities for the waterfront elements, including coordination with federal, state, and local regulatory agencies, preparation of permit applications and supporting engineering documents, and responses to public and agency comments. A comprehensive permit strategy was developed to allow individual sections of the Riverwalk to be permitted and constructed. M&N provided design and construction support services for the over-water segments of the Riverwalk on the Hillsborough River extending from Brorein Street to MacDill Park and from MacDill Park to Curtis Hixon Park with construction completed in March The City received funding to complete the longest segment from MacDill Park to Curtis Hixon Park (Phase V) with construction completed in March The latter received $10 million in TIGER funding for construction and awards from the Hillsborough County Planning Commission and Tampa Downtown Partnership. 42

Broad Street, Room 511 Richmond, VA PROJECT VALUE Design Fee $223,870 Estimated Construction Cost $8.6 million Actual Construction Cost $11 million SCHEDULE SERVICES PROVIDED. In 2011, the City of Richmond selected the Hargreaves Team, which included M&N for structural and marine engineering, to develop the Richmond Riverfront Plan, which was adopted by City Council in November The City subsequently retained our team for the implementation of the plan on a project-byproject basis, and the T. Tyler Potterfield Memorial Bridge was the first project the city built as part of the plan. The T-Pot bridge is a 1,560-foot-long new pedestrian and bicycle facility crossing the James River that connects downtown Richmond to the revitalized Manchester neighborhood. Like other elements of the Riverfront Plan, this project is designed to be not just another piece of infrastructure, but it is a location for locals and visitors to experience the wildness of the James River in the city. The basis of design for the structure, including AASHTO specifications for bicycle and pedestrian bridges, small vehicular live loading and hydraulic/water level considerations was established. The design team worked through many preliminary schematic designs to evaluate the best solution for this first project of the Riverfront master plan. M&N attended public meetings, and collaborated with the project team, regulatory agencies and the City to assess/confirm regulatory review and permitting requirements. The James River Park System reported over 35,000 visitors to the bridge in the first month of its opening, making the T-Pot the most popular destination in the Park. The project has been featured in several articles in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, numerous online articles, blogs and posts since officially opening on December 2, 2016, has won awards, and is considered the signature project of the Richmond Riverfront redevelopment master plan. 43

56 Pacific Avenue Trail Extension Virginia Beach, Virginia SIMILAR SERVICES Structural design, public involvement, funding, maintainability, multi-use boardwalk, construction documents, lighting design OWNER Daniel Adams, PE Coastal Program Manager City of Virginia Beach PROJECT VALUE Design Fee $136,441 Estimated Construction Cost $1.1 million Actual Construction Cost $1.1 million SCHEDULE SERVICES PROVIDED. The Pacific Avenue Trail Extension, popularly called the South Beach Trail Boardwalk, was one of the first steps toward the City of Virginia Beach s new vision for its resort area. The trail connects the City s bustling Oceanfront district with several other recreational destinations and attractions in the city, including the South Beach Marina District, the Virginia Aquarium, and the Seatack Recreation Center. The $1 million project was funded in part by a federal grant secured in M&N, as part of the Earley Marine Inc. design-build team, provided final design for the 1,400- foot, pile-supported boardwalk, which extends over Lake Holly parallel to Pacific Avenue. The boardwalk features a gazebo midway along the structure to provide shade and a scenic overlook. The boardwalk s state-of-the-art LED lighting is energy efficient and low maintenance. The boardwalk closes the 8-mile loop formed by the trail and offers pedestrians, runners, and cyclists a safe, alternative means of travel in the busy resort area. Because of this, citizen input was particularly important to the planning of the trail, and civic leagues were invited to give feedback on the design. 44

57 Owls Creek Footbridge Virginia Beach, Virginia SIMILAR SERVICES Value engineering, structural design, constructability, environmental sensitivity & integration, cost analysis OWNER Dan Adams, PE Department of Public Works, City of Virginia Beach Coastal Program Manager PROJECT VALUE Design Fee $98,600 Estimated Construction Cost $392,000 Actual Construction Cost $325,000 SCHEDULE SERVICES PROVIDED. Situated within the 2,800-acre Owls Creek Watershed, the Virginia Aquarium strives to inspire conservation of the marine environment through education, research, and sustainable practices. In 2011, the City of Virginia Beach developed an area master plan to encourage responsible development in keeping with the Aquarium s goals. M&N planned and designed an 8-foot-wide, 300-foot-long, pile-supported footbridge spanning Owls Creek, an area characterized by shallow open water and salt marsh wetlands. The footbridge provides pedestrian access to a coastal woodlands with future planned outdoor adventure park with zip lines, high ropes course, and coastal conservation garden. Following an existing conditions survey and geotechnical investigation, two pile foundation systems were considered timber piles and helical piles. Two construction methods were also considered conventional construction as well as a top down construction method that avoids impacts to wetland habitat from construction equipment on the ground. The selected alternative was to use top down construction for a timber deck and superstructure supported on timber piles, with optional contractor bid item for steel pipe helical piles. M&N also provided walkway planning for bridge transitions and additional footpaths for the site s coastal conservation portion. Planned walkways are a combination of 8- foot-wide paths, on-grade boardwalks, and side paths of permeable materials leading to benches and framed beds with shade tolerant native plants. These beds will serve as small water impoundment areas or swales to contain some of the runoff generated from the new pavement. 45

58 Belmont Spur Trail Belmont, North Carolina SIMILAR SERVICES Community connectivity, public involvement, trail design, environmental, aesthetics, wayfinding, post construction services OWNER H.

69 APPROACH TO THE ENGAGEMENT

70 G. Approach to the Engagement Project Understanding The City of Altamonte Springs is a leader in creating and developing projects which improve connectivity and safety, while also providing multiple transportation options. This includes a significant focus on becoming a more multimodal community to better serve all users, and make the City an even more desirable place to live, work, and visit. Your commitment is evident in the SR 436 East Pedestrian Underpass, which will provide a safe crossing from south of SR 436 to Uptown Altamonte and Cranes Roost Park, and then allow east-west connectivity between Seminole Wekiva Trail (SWT) and the SunRail station located within the East Town Center. To further your vision and successfully deliver the signature trail for this contract, you need a consultant who can help Figure 1: City of Altamonte Springs Sign you connect people with the community, while showcasing the City s excellence and vision. M&N will bring you that team! The current preferred route for the trail crosses multiple corridors with varied characteristics. Beginning at the west end and moving east, it starts at the SWT next to Sanlando Park, continues through the surrounding neighborhood, heads east along the north side of Central Parkway, then crosses I-4. East of I-4, the trail crosses Central Parkway at the intersection with Raymond Avenue, continuing east along the south side of Central Parkway and adjacent to Cranes Roost. At the end of Central Parkway, the trail crosses Palm Springs Drive, then transitions to a boardwalk through Bryan s Meadow. Working with the three stakeholders of Bryan s Meadow and connecting their communities to the trail is critical to its acceptance and the project s success. After traversing the meadow, the trail flows through Florida Hospital s campus, then along Lake Adelaide as a boardwalk, and continues along Holly Street through the existing neighborhood. The final roadway crossing is with Ronald Reagan Boulevard at Galloway Drive, and it ultimately terminates at the SunRail station. M&N s highly qualified, technical, and innovative team will work closely with the City and solve each of the unique challenges throughout this corridor. Exhibit 1 on page 61 shows the new trail alignment and the connectivity it will provide. Project Scope Each trail segment has unique characteristics and requires specific solutions for each challenge. We have reviewed the project feasibility study and walked the project on multiple site visits. While we generally agree with the proposed preferred route, we have developed a few alternatives for your consideration which may improve trail connectivity and usability. We believe our approach will provide the greatest value through specific solutions, while also maximizing limits for a 12-foot trail. And throughout the corridor design, Florida Green Book criteria for shared-use paths will be utilized where possible, and American s with Disabilities Act (ADA) criteria for sidewalks and curb cut ramps will be applied. Consider the following for each section: Section 1 Sanlando Park to I-4. One proposed route alternative would utilize Laura Avenue from Highland to Citrus Street, then continue east on Citrus to Franklin Avenue, eliminating the need to clear the Franklin Avenue right-of-way (ROW) between Highland and Citrus. Clearing the ROW could be costly due to foliage density and unclear parcel topography. This alternative would also create a consistent trail from Sanlando Park to Central Parkway, as the entire section would be an on-street bike route/sidewalk combination, rather than switching from on-street bike route/sidewalk, to 12-foot trail, then back again to onstreet bike route/sidewalk. Figure 2: Trail Location next to Sanlando Park 55

71 Along Central Parkway, a wide sidewalk trail is proposed. Accommodating a 12-foot width appears feasible but has potential challenges including light pole relocation, tree removal, landscaping changes, gravity wall modifications, driveway improvements, and ROW impacts. Because the proposed bridge over I-4 has an 8-foot sidewalk and no modifications are proposed on Central Parkway west of Franklin Ave., a more cost-effective solution would match the 8-foot sidewalk proposed over I-4 for this short section. Section 2-3 I-4 to Palm Springs Drive. Throughout this segment on the south side of Central Parkway, we propose utilizing existing sidewalk with improvements as necessary to meet ADA criteria along the length and at each roadway/driveway crossing. The sidewalk adjacent to Cranes Roost has light poles in the sidewalk, which is not ideal. Bike lanes are not the preferred alternative through this portion of the corridor as there is not a straightforward way to separate the bike traffic and connect to the proposed trail. Additionally, much vehicular traffic along Central Parkway travels faster than the posted speed limit. Our design will evaluate adjusting the curb location and Figure 3: Central Parkway Looking West narrowing the lanes, saving trees and adjusting the light posts, thereby creating a 12-foot-wide trail. Section 4 Palm Springs Drive through Bryan s Meadow. At Palm Springs Drive, our team proposes crossing on the south side of the intersection (Exhibit 2, page 62) rather than the north side. A north side crossing would require widening the sidewalk and relocating the existing mast arm. There are also large telephone manholes located within the sidewalk which would likely remain. Providing a south crossing will require adding two ADA ramps, changing signal timing, minor drainage improvements, and modifying the existing median by shortening the nose, while maintaining storage volume in the dual lefts. However, it will create a direct route through the intersection to the elevated boardwalk section, minimizing wait time. Ultimately, crossing on the south side will improve connectivity, enhance the user experience, all at a minor additional cost. Figure 4: Brian s Meadow Control Structure We will also work closely with the City and communities along Bryan s Meadow. M&N will develop the optimal alignment, integrating and showcasing the natural beauty of the wetland system, while avoiding impacts to the existing control structure and provide a constructible trail. We will also analyze wetland restoration and project educational opportunities. Considering and focusing on these alternatives will bring the greatest value to the City! Section 5-6 Florida Hospital to SunRail Station. Working with Florida Hospital on final trail alignment through their campus and along Lake Adelaide is critical. We do not anticipate significant impacts to the trail for the future FDOT and Seminole County treatment pond for SR 436 because the trail will be elevated throughout this area and early coordination with FDOT will occur. The final major roadway crossing for the trail is Ronald Reagan Boulevard. This crossing requires special attention and coordination due to the City s ultimate desire to realign Galloway Drive with Leonard Street, and add a signal as part of SunRail Phase 2 improvements. The M&N team will provide the best trail Figure 5: Lake Adelaide & Florida Hospital alignment, design and characteristics which will improve connectivity of the community. Please see Exhibit 3 on page 63 for before and after photo simulations of the M&N team s vision for the trail. 56

72 Sidewalk Gaps West Side of Palm Springs. Connecting SR 436 pedestrians to the existing sidewalk along Palm Springs Dr. north of the first Altamonte Mall driveway presents challenges. Existing landscaping and electric poles will be impacted. After completing survey and ROW identification, we will develop a sidewalk plan to connect the gap and widen the existing sidewalk to Central Parkway. This will include improvements to each driveway crossing including ADA curb ramps and pavement markings. Coordination with Altamonte Mall will be crucial and proactively handled! Cranes Way to Altamira Circle. Sidewalks can be added along the north side of Central Parkway between Cranes Way and Altamira Circle. Potential challenges include existing light poles, utilities, gravity/retaining walls, handrail at back of sidewalk due to drop off, wetland/floodplain impacts, and tree buffer removal from the roadway for lakeside residences. Ultimately, we recommend a 6-foot width in this section as any increase would only cause further issues. An alternative could be to move in the curb and narrow traffic lanes to minimize the lake impacts. If sidewalk is added in this location, necessary striping, ADA ramps and pedestrian signalization will be Figure 6: Central Parkway Sidewalk Gap included. Landscape Architecture Through the lens of landscape architecture and design, the team will address the following key elements: safety and security, connectivity, navigation and context. Safety will be achieved in part by separating trail users from motorized vehicles and minimizing points of conflict. For crossing locations, specialized pavement markings or signals or both will result in a trail that is very visible to drivers. Further, security will be enhanced using best practices in Crime Prevention through Environmental Design, including aligning the trail and arranging landscapes to put eyes on the trail, which results in natural trail surveillance because people nearby Figure 7: Centre Ponte Circle Crossing can see it. Emergency call boxes will be placed at appropriate intervals. This trail will be a route that links important employment centers and destinations, including the hospital and commuter rail station. Properly designed, the trail will offer viable transportation to those places. As such, it must provide plentiful access points and tie into existing bicycle and pedestrian networks. We can also explore opportunities for creating short loops and spurs along the route for recreational value and enhancing quality of life for workers and residents. Possibilities might be a loop around Bryan s Meadow and Lake Adelaide that hospital employees would walk during work breaks, or a spur trail connecting Hermits Trail Park. Wayfinding and environmental signage are also critical components of successful trails. A map depicting route, length, connections and destinations could be mounted along the trail. This wayfinding system could also include educational elements such as kiosks that explain lake ecologies, local flora and fauna, and area history. The wayfinding system also can include elements that change from segment to segment, indicating arrival in a new area, such as Sanlando Park, Cranes Roost Park, Altamonte Mall area, Bryan s Meadow, etc. Structural Structural assessments for the boardwalk will be performed to evaluate feasibility, impacts to wetlands, schedule, and sensitivity to the surrounding areas and neighborhoods. Our design team will generate a Basis of Design document for approval, which will be continually updated as design progresses. We will remain current on 57

73 industry standard practices and use current applicable codes. M&N will use information collected and evaluated during concept development and field investigations to generate a creative, practical, elevated boardwalk design. Elevated portions of the trail will be seamless with at grade sections that provide a comfortable path. These will be a minimum of 12 feet wide with pedestrian and bicycle railings along both sides. Value engineering analyses will be performed on materials considered for these structures, including timber, composite, and concrete decking, to create the best, most viable solution, taking into consideration rideability for bicycles. Pile foundations will be used for overwater or shoreline structures to minimize environmental impacts and erosion. Our team will use traditional and computer aided design methods to model expectations and determine physical parameters of new structures. We have successfully provided these alternatives and designed multiple boardwalk surfaces on previous projects, and will leverage that experience here. Also, M&N will work with the City to evaluate project life cycles versus costs and provide you the greatest value. Lighting/Surveillance The City has recently upgraded lighting along Central Parkway, and it will be our intent to retain and protect that investment. Where existing light poles are on the sidewalk, we propose to adjust them outside the trail limits. Lighting design will consider use of standard City of Altamonte Springs luminaires and decorative poles to maintain uniformity. The boardwalk will include low level lighting under the railing, eliminating the need for poles and reducing the number of viewing obstructions along the boardwalk. Low level luminaries can be selected to minimize noticeability, guiding the focus of users to the natural surroundings. Lighting will be evaluated per the Florida Green Book and the AASHTO Roadway Lighting Design Guide to maintain Figure 8: New Lighting consistency. Any areas not addressed by the Florida Green Book will be designed per Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) recommendations. The surveillance system will be evaluated during the initial design phase and coordinated with input from the City and stakeholders. The surveillance system, specifically Closed Circuit Television (CCTV), will be specified as to be compatible with any existing City of Altamonte Springs CCTV system. The CCTV system will be an IP based network system to allow for flexibility, remote monitoring, and remote storage. Environmental/Permitting/Drainage ESA will assist the team to identify environmental constraints along the trail alignment, work to reduce impacts, and provide exceptional permitting support. Possible alternative mitigation or restoration opportunities will be identified to support a multifunctional trail corridor that showcases the City s rich heritage and natural resources. Much of the preferred trail alignment utilizes existing sidewalks and maintained ROW to minimize environmental impacts; however, the trail segment for Lake Adelaide could affect wetlands or protected habitat. A bird and animal sanctuary exists within the tributary to the north connecting Lake Adelaide to Lake Florida. Also, minimal impact to federal and state listed wildlife, such as wood storks and gopher tortoises are anticipated. Two potential gopher tortoise burrows were identified near Sanlando Park during a field visit. Construction of a boardwalk over or near the littoral zone of Lake Adelaide, will require submitting an Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) with the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) and a Nationwide Permit with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), assuming federal jurisdictional wetland impacts are below 0.5 acre and local government concurrence to construct within the Wekiva Basin. We have explored multiple options for mitigation ranging from simple, using a mitigation bank serving the Wekiva River Nested Basin, to something requiring implementation by the City. This incorporates on site restoration and supports environmental and educational goals of the City. 58

74 Bryan s Meadow, a wetland feature will also be impacted, and restoration opportunities exist that could provide ecological benefits to native flora and fauna and enhance user experience. ESA has worked on several large-scale lakeshore and marsh restoration projects for municipalities, where state funding was successfully obtained and implemented. Much of that success is due to experience restoring native habitats through removal of nuisance and exotic vegetative species; ability to expedite permit approvals; knowledge of alternative funding sources; and the use of specialized equipment and contractors familiar with working within environmentally sensitive habitats. We will coordinate early with the SJRWMD and the USACE to define the Figure 9: Bryan's Meadow permit requirements for this project and develop all required documentation to successfully obtain construction permits. Significant impacts are not anticipated to the existing drainage facilities; however, they may occur as design is advanced. One critical location is the new Palm Springs crossing. A sag inlet is near the proposed crossing on each side of Palm Springs. Our proposed design will minimize impacts to the existing drainage structures. To minimize impact within the floodplains of Lake Adelaide and Bryan s Meadow and avoid triggering the need for floodplain mitigation, the proposed boardwalk will begin and remain above the 100-year floodplain elevation. As previously stated, our team will work closely with the City to develop our approach to the environmental impacts required for this project. This will ultimately provide the opportunity to create a one-of-a -kind user experience highlighting Bryan s Meadow to achieve your vision for the trail. Temporary Traffic Control M&N understands continuous accommodations of pedestrians is not optional. Our team has extensive experience in movement and safety of pedestrians during construction by using pedestrian detours, temporary curb ramps and channelizing devices. M&N will provide innovative solutions to the challenges sidewalk and trail projects pose. Surveying / Utilities Lochrane was the lead surveyor with FDOT for the SunRail project and performed topographic and subsurface utility location surveys for the Altamonte Station site. Using horizontal and vertical control points at the Altamonte SunRail Station and GPS technology we will establish a horizontal control network throughout the project. This network will be utilized to perform sufficient ROW, subdivision and property corner locations to establish apparent boundary and ROW lines and ultimately develop ROW maps. Early identification of the ROW locations is critical to meeting the project schedule and defining the final trail characteristics. Design surveys will utilize static scanning which will provide maximum Figure 10: Utilities in Sidewalk information safely with minimum levels of effort. Supplemental topographic surveys for obscure areas will be performed with state-of-the-art equipment, including reflectorless electronic total stations, robotic total stations, and digital data collectors. Multiple utilities lie within the project limits under and adjacent to the existing sidewalk. All known utilities will be located during the preliminary phase. As design progresses we will verify vertical and horizontal (VVH) positions of underground facilities as needed. Keeping budget as a priority, we will attempt to leave as many utilities in place as possible, while understanding not all utility impacts can be avoided. 59

75 Public Involvement This project is significant to the connectivity of the City s trail network, and public involvement is vital for its success. Global-5, Inc. will assist the City as needed with public information and media relations which highlight the benefits, educate the public, and work with project stakeholders. Some critical stakeholders are Florida Hospital, Promenade at Uptown, Windmeadows, Villa Del Mar, Cranes Roost Park, and Uptown Altamonte. The approach options can include one-on-one meetings, press releases, and public meetings. We will work with the City to develop the exact plan which will be most informative and provide the greatest value. Global-5 is currently working with the City of Altamonte Springs to provide I-4 Ultimate updates and managed public information and involvement activities for the Seminole Wekiva Trail Extension Project in The firm is intimately familiar with the area, and will utilize that knowledge to the benefit of this project. Funding In addition to the varied trail characteristics, funding is a critical project component. We have included a funding and grant expert, Jessica McIntyre P.E., as part of our team. Multiple funding sources are available, including Seminole County Sales Tax, MetroPlan Orlando, SUN Trails, the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP), and stormwater grant funding from SJRWMD and FDEP. We will work tirelessly with the City in the search of funds to successfully deliver this project as part of the City s multimodal vision to fully connect its residents. Design and Plan Production Multiple project deliverables will include final alignment, typical sections, 60% plans, 90% plans, and final plans. Plans will be developed to allow for phased construction, taking advantage of every funding opportunity. To establish the ultimate corridor alignment, each alternative will be evaluated and a cost estimate will be developed. We will proactively communicate with existing stakeholders, specifically Florida Hospital, Promenade at Uptown, Windmeadows, and Villa Del Mar to coordinate alignment and begin work on easements. As final alignment is identified, we will begin public involvement to solicit community input. Additionally, we will develop the vision for Bryan s Meadow and begin early coordination with SJRWMD and USACE to identify permitting requirements. Upon approval of the final alignment and trail width, 60% Plans will be developed including the permit application for SJRWMD and USACE, ROW maps showing impacts and easements, and preliminary cost estimates. Based on the estimates, M&N will create separate bid packages to construct portions of the overall project as funding is available. We will then complete 90% Plans, and Final Construction Plans for the identified bid packages and ultimate design. M&N will deliver the technical, innovative, and talented team needed to complete this project. Budget and Schedule Ability to Stay Within Budget. A successful budget has three crucial elements: 1) a well-defined scope of work, 2) the best project staff assigned, and 3) a clear schedule. For this project to stay within budget, early identification of the final design alignment and trail typical sections will be critical. As previously stated, the M&N team will complete a final alignment study including identifying ROW impacts. And work with the City and the owners around Bryan s Meadow to facilitate buy-in and establish an easement for the proposed boardwalk. Additionally, the budget will be proactively monitored through weekly tracking against the project schedule. Ability to Work within a Tight Schedule. Communication is key! We will monitor the schedule regularly, proactively identify unexpected changes, and provide monthly updates to the City to keep the project on track. When a change occurs, we will work with the City to develop alternative solutions which meet your expectations, and then inform all stakeholders so they are clear on the updated direction and schedule. If, during the project design, additional funding becomes available, the project direction will change. We will work closely with your staff to modify, then implement, scope and related schedule effects. The M&N team is fully committed to meet the project schedule and achieve the City s vision. We ask for that opportunity!! 60

79 EXISTING RELATIONSHIPS

80 H. Existing Relationships M&N staff have excellent working relationships with several members of the City of Altamonte Springs staff based on past project experience. We look forward to continuing and expanding these relationships over the course of the East-West Trail Connector project. Rebecca Davis and Jason Flick, currently with M&N, worked together at FDOT District 5 in the In-house Design Group for more than three years. During that time, they not only gained technical knowledge but also developed relationships with key staff throughout the District. Jason was employed at District 5 until 2012 and Rebecca continued to work at District 5 until They have both maintained excellent working relationships with staff at all levels within District 5. These relationships will facilitate smooth coordination with FDOT in areas where the trail crosses or connects to FDOT facilities. 64
