As a result of the RFQ, two proposals were received by the April 17, 2023 deadline. A staff committee evaluated the proposals based on the firms’ experience and capability, project team and staffing, work plan, and references. Based on these criteria, the committee ranked the firms as follows: 1. RJ Heisenbottle Architects 2. Gurrimatute RJ Heseinbottle Architects has agreed to performed these services as listed in their attached proposal for the amount of $335,520. The proposal includes several phases from initial evaluation of the project site to construction administration. After the evaluation of the site takes place during Phase 1 and Phase 2, based on their findings, Village staff and the architects will re-evaluate the scope of the remaining phases. The Village was awarded a $500,000 grant from the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Historical Resources, for the design and construction of Pinecrest Site Protection. This grant has a 50/50 match requirement and also includes the hardening of the openings of the Pinecrest Gardens Main Building which will be completed under a separate bid. If Village Council wants to proceed with the project, the Village’s portion of this phase of the project ($167,760) will need to be allocated from the General Fund Reserve. I hereby respectfully recommend the Village Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the Village Manager to enter into an agreement with RJ Heisenbottle Architects for the Pinecrest Gardens Lakeview Terrace and Ramp design for an amount not to exceed $335,520, and allocate the matching grant funds from the General Reserve balance.

Gasca Assistant Village Manager Office of the Village Manager 12645 Pinecrest Parkway Pinecrest, Florida 33156 Re: Professional Architectural Services – Pinecrest Gardens Terrace and Ramp Renovation Fee Proposal 11000 SW 57th Ave, Pinecrest, FL 33156 RJHA Project No. 23-3539 Dear Ms. Gasca, Thank you for selecting R.J. Heisenbottle Architects (RJHA or Architect) to lead the Pinecrest Gardens Terrace and Ramp Renovation project for the Village of Pinecrest (Owner or Village). We are excited to work with you on this important community project and are pleased to provide you with this fee proposal for architectural, structural, geotechnical, civil engineering, and landscape design services. This proposal includes Survey and Documentation of Existing Conditions, preparation of Schematic Design Documents, Design Development & Construction Documents, Bid/Permit and Construction Administration Phase services. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT We understand that the Village of Pinecrest is the recipient of a Specialty Category Grant (23.h.sc.100.087) from the Florida, Department of State, Division of Historical Resources. Our understanding of the extent of the project scope is based on the Scope of Work narrative in the Grant Award Agreement, and the Scope of Services narrative in the Village of Pinecrest Request for Qualifications and the discussions we had during our site visits on April 21, 2023 and April 25, 2023. The grant funds will be used to facilitate the restoration of the Pinecrest Gardens Lakeview Terrace and Ramp. The RFQ states that the assessment of the existing structures is within the scope of this project. However, this assessment will be limited to investigating the construction and structural stability of the Lakeview Terrace Pergola and Colonnade columns and their footings, and the two Stone Pergola structures. The existing subsoil conditions below the Lakeview Terrace Pergola and Colonnade may require reinforcement of the columns and footings. The two stone pergolas will require investigation to understand if there is an existing skeletal structure below the limestone. There is significant displacement and cracking of the stone, and, as an integral landscape feature and pathway component that directs pedestrians down the stairs to the landscape below, this should be addressed as part of this overall project. Based on our review of the Pinecrest Gardens Covered Walkway Roof Replacement Permit Set from 2015, sheet A-6 shows existing floor elevations for the Lakeview Terrace Pergola and Colonnade which will allow RJHA to analyze whether or not there has been a change in elevation. Because there are no original construction Page | 2 documents indicating how these structures were built or reinforced, it will be necessary for us laser scan the entire area and develop and accurate site survey and BIM model, before work can proceed. SCOPE OF BASIC SERVICES The Architect’s Basic Services consist of those described herein and include the coordination of all the specialty consultants, including structural, civil and geotechnical engineering, site surveying, and landscape design services. Those consultants include: 1. KEITH – Surveying and Geospatial engineering/Laser Scanning Services 2. Wood/O’Donnell & Naccarato (WON) – Structural Engineering 3. Ardaman & Associates, Inc. – Geotechnical Engineering 4. Terra Civil Engineering – Civil Engineering 5. LandscapeDE – Landscape Architecture Generally, the Scope of Work is expected to consist of the following: • Survey work (investigative analysis and existing conditions assessment) include generation of a site survey, laser scanning and modeling of the existing site features (Lakeview Terrace and Ramp and associated walkways, planters, ponds, and stone walls, and geotechnical exploration and testing, • Analysis of the survey results to define and finalize the scope of work to be approved by the Owner before proceeding to the design development phase. However, based on our site walkthroughs, it is likely that work may include subsoil stabilization, topsoil preparation, removal and replacement of pavers, repair to the stone pond, structural reinforcement of Lakeview Terrace columns and footings, and reinforcement of terrace retaining walls, • Development of design solutions to respond to the existing conditions findings of the survey work, and schematic design services, • Review of design phase service before proceeding to the Construction Documents Phase, • Development of Construction Documents, • Bidding and Permitting Services, • Construction Administration Services. GEOSPATIAL ENGINEERING AND LASER SCANNING SERVICES Geospatial engineering and laser scanning services will be performed by KEITH. KEITH will 3D scan the existing buildings and surrounding areas within the defined Scope of Work area illustrated on Exhibit “A”. These scans will include all visible architecture and landscape. These scans will be conducted to meet Level of Accuracy 40 (LOA40 – 1/4”-1/16”) and will be on an assumed horizontal and vertical datum. KEITH will deliver complete Point Cloud scan data for the scanned areas in the form of Autodesk RECAP. KEITH will produce a 3D REVIT (2019 or greater) Model of all scanned locations that meets LOA30 - 5/8”-1/4” and LOD300. Revit model will include façades and all architectural and landscape elements captured in the scan of the area within the scope of the project. KEITH will utilize this data to prepare a Special Purpose Topographic and Tree Survey of the area. An overall site survey for filing with building department will be provided by Owner. Page | 3 KEITH will visit the project site to confirm and evaluate the location, size and quality of existing trees on the project site and identify which trees are to be removed or relocated, as well as any remaining trees that will require protection. STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING SERVICES Structural engineering services will be performed by Wood/O’Donnell & Nacarrato. WON will evaluate the general adequacy of the columns and foundations of the lakeview terrace, the adjacent pergola to the north end of the terrace, the stone-clad railing walls on the north and south perimeters of the terrace, and the two stone-clad pergolas, relative to foundation settlement and stability. It is intended to prepare a report with our findings and recommendations, as well as prepare structural repair drawings for the stabilization of structural members, including foundations, as required. GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING Geotechnical engineering services will be performed by Ardaman & Associates, Inc. Ardaman proposes to perform six (6) Standard Penetration Test (SPT) borings to a depth of 50 feet below existing ground surface. They will use a truck-mounted drill rig plus a track mounted drilling and a support truck to perform the field work. The borings will be performed in general accordance with the procedures recommended in ASTM D-1586. Hand auger borings would be performed at the slopes at both sides of the ramp and terrace to further analyze slope stability of the existing embankment. In addition, they will perform two (2) South Florida Water Management District Exfiltration Test to obtain soil hydraulic conductivity values for the design of runoff water retention and detention facilities. In order to provide information regarding the existing roof, columns, footings and stone walls exploratory probes with reduce diameter coring tool would be performed at random representations of these structures and specifically the south gazebo near the fishpond. A total of 5 probes would be performed. Ardaman will provide an engineering report which will present the findings of their exploration and recommendations for site preparation and foundation design. CIVIL ENGINEERING DESIGN The following Civil engineering services will be performed by Terra Civil Engineering: Task 1 schematic design and data collection Under this task, the Consultant will perform the required data collections and investigate available drawings, coordinate with the surveyor to request any required additional information, coordinate with the soils engineer to order the required test for the design of the drainage system and prepare the schematic design civil drawings to be issue to the architect. Task 2 design development plans Under this task, the Consultant will coordinate with the project architect and other consultants to develop the new grading plan for the project area.
